too warm. the economy is running too hot when it comes to prices which has been going up on everything from your grocery bill to your gas bill which is why the federal reserve is expected to begin hiking interest rates. they will start by hiking them 1/4%. what that ultimately means is you'll pay more money borrowing more mortgage. it will slow down things and spending in an effort to stabilize prices. amy? >> rebecca, we mentioned the cost of oil falling. what does that mean for gas prices? >> we are seeing it reflected already at the pumps. overnight prices have fallen about 2 cents a gallon. began yesterday, $4.32. today it's about $4.30. those prices are especially high. gas buddy predicts as quickly as prices roads, you're not going

to see them decline but you will according to gas buddy. see gas prices drop below $4 a gallon if oil prices stay where they are, below $100 a barrel. you are seeing the ripple effects elsewhere, amy, overnight. the last couple of days delta has mentioned they will be hiking prices on some of their flights because they're paying so much more for fuel. amy? >> rebecca jarvis, thank you for that. we have the latest on the pandemic. pfizer petitioned the fda on a second booster shot as there are some signs of new rising covid infections. >> good morning. pfizer calling for a fourth shot. the drug maker requesting authorization for an additional shot for those 65 and older. pfizer submitting two sets of data from israel. it decreased the number of confirmed cases and severe illness. the company's ceo says the fourth shot dramatically

improves protection. the fda will look at the data to determine if the additional shot is needed and when. the push for this fourth shot coming as some 58 million americans who are eligible to receive the vaccine still have yet to take their first. this as scientists are closely watching a subvariant of omicron, ba 2. the concern, the w.h.o. roughly estimating it may be 30% more transmissible than the original strain of omicron and currently makes up for 23% of new cases in the u.s. while the percentage of ba 2 cases are up, the total number of new covid cases in the country is down. george? >> thanks very much. let's bring in our friend, dr. richard besser, president of the robert wood johnson foundation. let's start with your take on this ba 2 variant. >> you know, george, i would pay attention. i'm less concerned than when omicron first came because we should see protection from people who have had the current

omicron infection, but if you look over at europe what you see is that as public health measures were lifted and the strain was spreading, the number of cases has gone up. there's been pressure on hospitals. this is the time if you haven't gotten your booster to go ahead and do so. >> let's talk about the boosters. we see this petition from pfizer. are we heading towards a world where we're going to have a booster every year? >> we may. i think that's a separate question than whether we want to get a booster every four months, every five months. it's not clear from boosters how long the protection lasts and it's not clear whether you start to see a declining return on those boosters. i think the biggest effort here in the country has to be to get people vaccinated who haven't been vaccinated yet. in rural communities we see some of the lowest levels of vaccination.

are we lifting the mandates too soon? i think if people are taking it as a sign that the pandemic is over, this pandemic continues and we pay attention to public health guidance. if cases go up into communities and there's pressures on hospitals, some of the measures have to go back into prailace a we have to watch it. >> george, now to a sweet win for my alma mater. texas southern kicking off the ncaa tournament. the tigers took on texas a&m corpus christi in the first four last night. in the second half texas southern took the lead and never looked back winning 76-67 on the fast break right there. nice finish and there is coach johnny jones in the locker room

adding the tigers to the final bracket. up next they take on number one ranked kansas. star bryson isn't afraid. we're men just like them. we put on our shoes like them, our pants, our shirt. it's march madness so madness can happen. >> that's sweet. >> if you don't believe, who's going to believe. >> why do they have to go right to play against the number one seed? >> they're a 16th seed. >> savor the victory. >> we'll take what we can get. come on, tsu. we've got a chance. >> a lot more coming up on gmu. bob saget's autopsy. >> elizabeth they araey ar >> let's go to ginger. >> we were bumping and rocking in central florida with the thunderstorms. the sky view -- excuse me, i keep saying it wrong.

it's a bridge over tampa bay. that's what i'm going to leave it at. but only because max has been laughing in my ear because i keep for getting it. that with 60 mile per hour winds blowing through, that's just round one. you have the associated cold front coming on. anywhere from the beaches, satellite beach to jacksonville, savannah, charleston. yes, tornadoes are possible. hail, too. it's march. it is time for the atmosphere to start punching and it looks like it's going to do so. big storms with wind out west going to move. thursday and friday right along the gulf from dallas to montgomery. your local weather in 30 seconds. i'll get that bridge in a bit. let's check a little closer to home.

while earlier this week a court ruled that photos and other specific details around his accident would remain sealed from the public, yesterday police issued the final report on what happened to bob saget. this morning, the final police report on bob saget's death detailing the last tragic moments of the beloved comedian's life. the orange county, florida, sheriff's office releasing an incident report that determined saget's fractured eye sockets, as well as others was responsible. first striking something hard such as a floor. there was no blood present, but the medical examiner claimed saget would have likely shown confusion, balance and/or slurred speech had he not been alone. >> you had probably the initial insult, a fracture to the base of the skull and of course all of this is further complicated by a fatal brain bleed, the accumulation of blood around the brain which is not sustainable

with life in this case. >> reporter: just hours before he died the report claims, saget showed no signs of injury or impairment leading officials to conclude he likely died from a backwards fall in his room. since saget's death nearly two months ago while he was on a since saget's death nearly two months ago when he was on a standup comedy tour, saget's family has sought to prevent images surrounding the accident from being public. this week winning a permanent injunction against their release in a florida court. that coupled with the release of the final police report likely means this is the last public word. >> these things do happen, more unfortunate than anything. it's not entirely rare when things like this happen, it's important to respect that this is a human being. >> the report emphasized that there was no evidence of a struggle or any type of foul play reaffirming the heartbreaking fact that saget's death was accidental.

they will comply with the court ordered injunction. >> thank you, will. now to opening statement today in the fraud and conspiracy case against rame ramesh batwani. he went on trial two months after she was convicted of fraud. rebecca jarvisllowing this. good morning,rebecca. >> reporter: , chael. given a the media attention surrounding this case, it's been hard to pin down jurors who haven't heard about it. >> this morning two months after elizabeth holmes was convicted of fraud, her former boyfriend begins his own criminal trial at

the same san jose courthouse. ruwani faces 12 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud to which he's pleaded not guilty. they say he knowingly misrepresented in order to profit. his attorney joined me for an interview in 2018 and said that wasn't the case. >> this is a business failure, not fraud, and you're going to see an acquittal in this case. >> the prosecution has a real leg up on its case against sunny balwani. they have the ability to have hindsight and streamline the evidence is going ew t st holm. to be similar in his case. >> reporter: they were originally set to be tried together but had their trials severed after holmes accused

balwani of psychological and sexual abuse. claims he denied. >> reporter: he will argue he came on late in the game, always stuck with elizabeth holmes and wasn't necessarily privy to everything that was going on at theranos while they were together. >> reporter: the working relationship depicted in the hulu series "the dropout." starring amanda cypret as holmes. >> you are on a need to know basis. >> i'm the head of chemistry. >> go, now! >> reporter: elizabeth holmes is not expected to testify at this trial though she will be sentenced after balwami's trial is completed at some point in september and faces up to 20 years in prison for each of the four counts she was found guilty on though, michael, lawyers don'toer that long of a prison sentence.

michael? >> thank you so much, rebecca. joining us is a chief legal analyst. you can call the elizabeth holmes trial a dry run. who has the advantage that her trial is over? >> typically you would say the defense. now they've seen everything the prosecution has. they've seen all the witnesses, what they're going to say, the weaknesses and trends. if a witness says something different, the defense can use that and poke holes. the difference in this case is that the prosecution didn't get convictions on a lot of the counts in the first trial so this was also a dry run for prosecutors to say, wait, what did we do wrong the first time? why weren't we able to convince a jury that she had defrauded patients, that we were only able to convince them that there was a defrauding of the investors? what can we do differently? >> elizabeth holmes testified. will balwani testify in his? >> he could.

i think it's more unlikely. her story was it was all him. he manipulated me. i was the victim. i was naive. that's a different kind of narrative than for him. he was much more experienced. he was older. those are factors that would weigh against him testifying in this case. it is possible, as rebecca pointed out, that she could testify in this case against him, but i don't think prosecutors would do that. >> this is becoming a pop culture phenomenon. will that affect the trial? >> it shouldn't. that's one of the reasons jury selection process is taking so long. it took so long because so many of the prospective jurors knew something about the case or knew about the allegations of abuse, et cetera. that's the way that it is potentially impacted. the fact that there are ongoing dramas, et cetera, on tv and elsewhere shouldn't have an impact on the actual trial. >> thank you so much. amy? >> michael, coming up later, how

[upbeat acoustic music throughout] we're back now on "gma" with more reports of fuel stolen right out of people's vehicles and at gas stations often caught on surveillance cameras. trevor ault joins us with more

from spring, texas. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, amy. if you're looking for diesel fuel this morning you are not going to get it from this pump here in texas as the owner says that thieves made off with more than 1,700 gallons of it and they're still on the run but with gas prices where they are, of gallons to fall victim to gas theft. it's become an alarmingly common phenomenon. people paying astronomical gas prices only to have that gas stolen. a pennsylvania woman found this hole drilled directly into her gas tank. the woman then driving the car without realizing what happened, a mistake that could have killed her. >> the big risk would be that the thing is leaking fuel and you get a fire. >> in the past few weeks gas thefts have been reported in at least ten states. in missouri john blazer says the

man in this video strolled up to his truck, stole 2 gallons and let the remaining 32 gallons flush out onto the street. more brazen thieves are targeting gas stations. last week police in los angeles targeted three vehicles allegedly stealing gas. one suspect paying $20 but damaging the pump to take far more gas than that. authorities near houston are searching for suspects they say stole $8,000 worth of diesel fuel from this chevron. this just a week after alleged thieves stole about 1,000 gallons from the underground tanks at a different houston station. >> the van that's pumping the fuel out, they have a trap door inside their vehicle which is crazy. >> and remember the bigger the fuel tank, the bigger the potential target for possible thieves. trucks and suvs are targeted more frequently. higher off the ground and easier to access and they tend to carry

more gas. >> it's crazy to think we're talking about this. how can you tell if someone has stolen the gas right out of your car? >> so step one is just to be aware as you're approaching your vehicle. take note if there are any puddles or if you smell gasoline in your vehicle, an obvious sign if it does start, the check engine light might come on. it's generally a good idea to take note of your fuel level when you're leaving your car so you can notice any possible changes. >> if you just fueled up and it's on empty, that's a red flag. >> thank you very much. coming up later, sleepless in america. the new poll finding that many of us struggle getting a good night's rest. this morning what you can do to help you catch those zs. coming up next, our wednesday play of the day. knowing where you came from, it gives you a sense of “this is who i am”. oh my goodness... wow, look at all those! you get hungry for more and then you're just like,

what can consumers do about this? >> george, we're used to being price conscious, of course, but now you need to be unit price conscious and net weight conscious. you got to go for the price per ounce and price per pound so you have a little bit more homework to do. a little more work to do when you go to the grocery store or buying stuff online. you got to look at the fine print. >> all right. all right, we appreciate that. will, thank you for the heads-up. coming up next, actress, comedienne and oscar's co-host amy schumer is here live. stay with us.

many slaves were kept into captivity past this abolishment so i was just excited that the opportunity to be able to tell that story in the unique way that krystin ver linden wanted to tell it. >> amazing, 1973 but it's a painful story also. but you actually found playing this character was empowering. why is that? >> i did. i think growing up with the history of in america as a black person, you know, there's a lot of things that could be attached to it that would make you have, you know, the way we've told this story often can lead to an oppressive feeling but growing up for me my parents always used history as a way to empower me and uplift mow and highlight the resilience of our community and i feel like "alice" captured that well. >> let's take a look at your work. let's take a look at "alice." >> this is about me. seeing you for exactly what you are, outside of that backwards world i was born in to believe you were somebody. >> alice.
