>> john: polls are open for super tuesday and voters could put former president donald trump in striking distance of the republican nomination. >> sandra: more than 800 delegates are at stake tonight and trump supporters say it is time to rally behind the former president. >> it's about following the lead of the voices of the republican party who have been very loud and very clear that they want donald trump. i don't know what the next step is for nikki haley, but i do think it is time for her to step aside and let the party rally fully around donald trump so that he can take joe biden on and beat him in november. >> john: arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders in our last hour. i'm john roberts on this super tuesday. the big day. >> sandra: this is "america reports". nikki haley says she is not going down without a fight. >> when 70% of americans said they don't want donald trump or joe biden, we are blessed to live in a country where we have

elections. people wanted someone to vote for and that was the number one thing that we were told was thank you for giving us someone to vote for. 16 states want to have their voices heard. let's let their voices get heard. >> sandra: and we are just hours away from the first set of polls closing on our fox team coverage starts now. >> john: special report anchor bret baier is standing by, and the fight for presidential immunity, but first, palm beach, florida, the trump campaign, are they really calling on haley to drop out now? >> well, look, former president trump certainly does not think that haley has any sort of path forward. whether or not he's going to call on her to step down after tonight or call on her to come up on stage like he has had other former candidates to come and support him, he's not saying. what he is doing is accusing nikki haley of dividing the gop, really the same accusation that she's lodging against him, and

he's saying you are doing that by staying in this race. listen to this. >> there is no path what you are doing other than hurting, other than hurting the republican party. the answer is i want everybody to come together, we are going to have a unified party because our real opponent happens to be named biden and he's a disaster, as i said, the worst president in our country, destroying our country. >> so yesterday trump called the historic unanimous supreme court ruling a unifying decision for the country but jamie raskin says he is working on legislation to keep any one engaged in an insurrection from holding federal office. john, it would only work if congress declares january 6th an insurrection. it's just a threat, because republicans control the house, it would never be brought to the floor or have enough votes and trump responding to all of this. >> real losers. if they spent their time focusing on the country and making america great again, that

would be a lot better than just wasting their time. i've been going through it for years, beating them for years, and at the same voices, the same faces, they never stop. they don't care about our country. >> back out here live in front of mar-a-lago where preparations are underway for the big watch party and i mean big when i say this, john. they are expecting 1,000 guests tonight, but no open bar, i did ask. there's a soda bar, a pop bar that's free, but no open bar. john. >> john: pop, you are showing your midwestern side there. aishah, thank you. >> sandra: or down south it's a coke, no matter what flavor, right. supreme court justices ruled unanimously to block the ballot ban, but another big case, whether presidential immunity should shield him from

prosecution. david spunt is live from the justice department. how likely that at least five justices will side with the former president? >> well, former president trump and his team, sandra, are hoping it's likely because he needs as you mentioned, just five justices out of the nine to rule in favor of him, that he has presidential immunity. if they do rule in his favor, the january 6th case and the case here in washington, d.c. related to alleged attempts to overflow the election could essentially be thrown out completely and we may never see a trial. it depends what the supreme court does the week of april 22nd. sandra, we don't have an exact date yet on the calendar but the justices say the week of april 22nd, they will hear arguments about this issue of presidential immunity. they will look at whether former presidents can be prosecuted for acts committed while in office, specifically in the federal criminal case where donald trump is charged with trying to

overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. the high court has agreed to hear the appeal putting the case on hold. trump says all presidents, republican or democrat, should be protected by prosecution by presidential immunity but special counsel jack smith says no one, not even a former president can escape accountability for alleged criminal acts. smith says trump's actions were not related to his official duties and purely political acts to stay in power, subverting the constitution in process. justices are expected to be split on this decision. we'll take some time to debate. if the justices rule in trump's favor, essentially the case goes away here in washington, d.c.. if they rule against him, the trial will likely happen this year before the election. the question is when, because the judge has put a pause on all proceedings. lake at least two months to get

things moving again. so late summer, perhaps, early fall, very close to the evenings, sandra. >> sandra: and there you have it, david spunt live at the justice department. john. >> john: bring in bret baier, anchor and executive editor of special report and you and martha will be leading our coverage tonight. we are looking forward to that. this could be the day that cements it for donald trump, not over the finish line but very, very close toit. and an anti-trump segment that nikki haley is tapping into, they remember all the chaos. even the "new york times" admits donald trump in the rearview mirror is looking pretty good. they said more than three years of distance from the daily onslaught has faded. change that in some cases warped memories of events that at the time felt searing. voters' views on mr. trump's policies and presidency have

improved in the rearview mirror. >> i think it's setting up to be a big night for the former president, the bartender is he soda bar will be busy with different flavors, but almost clinching. the 12th, maybe the 19th, but closing in on the mathematical clinching of this. and if you look at the recent polls there is a sense that republicans, while there is a split in this primary, and nikki haley is still getting some of the vote and you could see states like virginia and vermont and massachusetts and places where she may do well in a primary that's open for independent and democratic voters as well, that republicans are expressing themselves saying they will come home because they do not want president biden to be the next president. >> sandra: and the former president donald trump is vowing to unite the party and bring

them together. bret, great to have you here in new york, looking forward to coverage tonight. we had governor sanders, huckabee sanders on earlier and said looking forward based on the expectations for today, you know, republicans have to start looking at the general election and wondering whether or not donald trump can beat joe biden. she responded. >> that's not a decision i have to make today. the convention isn't until july. we have 16 states voting today and so we want the 16 states to vote. i don't have -- i haven't heard him pledge to me that he would support me if i won. so i don't know why -- >> if there's a poll that shows her ahead it doesn't matter. she's not going to get through the republican primary. donald trump is set to win big, beat her by a significant margin in her home state. >> sandra: the governor at the end but responding to nikki haley making the case as she has time and time again, she believes she's in a better

position to beat joe biden. >> bret: that's what she says but we are not seeing it in the primaries and we are just not seeing it in the polls that suggest that there is a lot of pushback in the republican party about these local cases. it's only united republicans to this point where thek it is a political, you know, effort to get him out. how that plays in the general election, how that plays with independents and suburban women i think has yet to be seen and that's one of the big question marks. >> john: we don't know what nikki haley is going to do after tonight but hoping today to pick up more delegates. in a lot of these states there are thresholds of competitiveness that you have to meet in order to get delegates. in texas, california and some other states, there are majority take all thresholds. so, if trump were going to pass 50% in california, 50% in texas statewide and then sweep by 50% all the congressional districts, he would walk away with more

than 300 delegates just from those two states. and for haley, it's pretty difficult for the campaign to make a case to say ok, we really lost badly, but we are going to keep going. >> bret: yeah, and i don't think, john, that the emergency brake -- break glass is a good story line to stay in. we don't know of events for governor haley after today. we don't know if she's going to come out and speak at this point and don't know if the campaign is spending money after this day. so, that's fairly telling and this is something we saw with governor desantis as well. i think one of the story lines, and i talked about this earlier, is that how former president trump talks about nikki haley, how he deals with her supporters tonight in whatever speech he delivers, will be important, and send a message whether this is coming together or still going

to be contentious up until the convention. >> sandra: you just set up what should be and could be a very exciting night. we'll be watching and looking for all that. thank you so much for joining us. >> john: looking forward to it. >> sandra: and we are keeping eyes on the polls, this super tuesday. could the presidential contest impact down ballot races and control. >> john: crime set to be a top issue on voters' minds. katie pavlich joins us next. >> i think another biden-trump rematch would be easy game for trump. i think a lot of stuff is swaying in his favor and especially with how the nation is turning right now with the immigration and crime. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

>> john: former president trump making crime a key issue for his national campaign. he says president biden is responsible for violent crime. last week the president touted falling crime rates and argued the country is safer under his leadership. fox team coverage ahead with katie pavlich. but first, alexis mcadams on crime hitting the campaign trail. what crime, specifically, are americans talking about? >> hey, john. when you are out on the trail and you talk to people, they say everything from violent crime to migrant crime are some of the issues they are concerned about. and they safety in their own communities is top of mind. as they show half of americans are not happy with the biden administration actions to keep people safe. >> i would like to see them take the little person seriously. the people that are being hurt by the crime. it's -- not just illegal immigrants, also a problem with the border, but it's people

going into cvs and stealing and there is no consequences. >> now this election migrant crime sitting in the national spotlight as migrants accused of recent violent crimes are making major headlines seems every week. some have been previously released by police before they committed other crimes, including the tragic case of the 22-year-old nursing student laken riley murdered while just out on a run in georgia. now jose antonio ibarra is charged with her murder, crossed illegally from venezuela. and it's the topic on the campaign trail. >> not going to have one more innocent american life. we can't let this go on. migrant crime is going to be a level we have never seen crime before. >> as president, public safety

is top for my administration and for me, and has been a long time. >> the president knows people are talking about migrant crime so the white house calling for sanctuary cities to cooperate with i.c.e., john. >> john: alexis, thank you. >> sandra: katie pavlich, there is no doubt crime is definitely top of mind for so many voters out there coast to coast, katie. >> it's a huge issue, it's something the biden administration, the biden campaign is trying to grab on to. what caught my attention talking about the crime issue, this fact sheet, tried to go back to 2020 and blaming the trump administration and saying murders were at an all-time high in the previous administration. well, what was happening in summer of 2020. it was the defund the police movement where you had a number of cities burn to the ground in a number of areas, a number of police officers retiring and now you are seeing the fallout of that, and it was democrats who actually endorsed that movement and so we are seeing now the consequences of that playing

out. also seeing a lot of government dysfunction in places like san francisco and washington, d.c., and big questions about prosecutions, a lot of juveniles committing crimes, but there is a report that came out from the d.c. auditor showing things like the d.c. crime lab is not accredited and therefore it can't analyze evidence like dna samples, fingerprints, so criminals have no consequences and they are becoming repeat offenders. so when you can't go to the capital city or the country of the united states of america and the white house can't recommend that americans come to that city because of the crime, it is a problem. and they are seeing it all over the place. >> john: d.c. council, at least some members of it are trying to remedy that situation. how the crime is playing out on the campaign trail. >> my administration is going to choose progress over politics, and communities are safer

because of the policy. >> we are going to rebuild our city, work with democrat mayors, all run by democrats, but work with them. horribly run capital, capitol of the nation, washington, d.c., and clean up, renovate and rebuild. >> john: we were chatting after the president said declining crime rates, and one of the reasons is the soft on crime prosecutors are either reducing charges, letting people out with no charges, or declining to prosecute more serious crimes. >> exactly. i mean, statistics are reflective of what is put into the system. if you have prosecutors downg downgrading felonies are not really happening but you go outside and ask people, they will say they know somebody who has been a victim of a crime or in a store like this where

people come in and grab all the goods and that deteriorates to a bigger situation where stores leave. no economic opportunity in certain neighborhoods and therefore there is even more crime that continues to occur in this spiral, and so this is something that both donald trump is talking about, and joe biden. donald trump, when he was in the office, he had operation legend, of course was a partnership between the department of justice and local law enforcement, local mayor's offices to try and solve murders, for example, and to put federal charges on to some of these criminals because the local d.a. charges really were not enough to scare them into not going into these repeat offender situations. so we'll see more of this as the campaign moves on but in terms of what is happening over the past three years, crime is up, people are feeling it. and let's not forget that 40% of some of the most violent places in the country don't report their statistics to the fbi, so you are not getting the full story of what's happening. >> sandra: in my deep brain room

dive on super tuesday that was absolutely noted, that information has to be voluntarily provided to the fbi so when you are digging in at the state level you have to remember that. that being said, this is the question we put to fox news, in the fox news poll on voters believed the biden administration is making u.s. safer. 63% said they feel it has mostly failed them, the administration and that is what people are feeling. >> and people see hundreds of thousands, millions of people unknown, especially young military aged men coming into the country, don't know who they are, they are scared, see the story out of georgia with laken riley, stories out of louisiana, in maryland, happening every single day where people come across the border unveted, many of them from countries where they are letting people out of prison and so people are scared that those individuals are coming to their neighborhood and they want someone to stop them from doing it and to get them

out of their communities. >> john: on your point of georgia, the murder of laken riley, two intersecting issues, one is crime rising in the united states, the other by immigrants and the illegal immigration issue. how do you think those things taken together are going to play out in november? i talked to a number of people who believe, it may not hold true six months from now, but believe the murder of laken riley means georgia is going to flip. >> it's certainly something that is a national topic that has affected local communities all over the country. it is a serious consequence and you have the administration and democrats downplaying this issue. the white house saying they are not worried about criminals and terrorists coming across the border and seeing the consequences of that. >> sandra: we are going to dip into the white house briefing room. peter doocy is questioning karine jean-pierre. >> you reported it, you saw it, he was with the chief, chief owens, i believe. >> the chief in charge for two

years before that said i've never had one conversation with the president or the vice president. how is that possible? >> so, one thing i will say about chief, you are talking about chief ortiz. so, he was invited i believe to participate in the president's first trip visit to el paso, which was back in january of 2023, and he did not attend. he was invited, he was invited, he did not attend. what i can say is that you saw the president with the present chief, i think is important, because we are dealing with challenges at the border because the president has taken -- made that a priority, work with the senate and a bipartisan way to come up with a way to move forward on the border on immigration, republicans rejected it because of what the former president, donald trump told them to do, told them to reject that proposal. so the president is going to continue to be steadfast, focus on issue that majority of the american people care about which is the border. let's not forget, if that policy had went into law, it would have

been the toughest and the fairest bipartisan border security agreement in decades. in decades. >> and last one, will president biden publicly address laken riley's murder allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant who was released by law enforcement multiple times on thursday night. i know he's got a statement, what about the state of the union. >> this is such a tragic story and obviously situation. this is someone's life that was lost. so i do want to always acknowledge and extend our deepest condolences to her family and to her friends and the people who loved her. and so i want to always be sure to say that, and because it's so tragic. look, i don't have anything to share about the president's speech as it relates to that particular question that you have. we, you know, we want to always be sure that we lift up the families who have lost their

loved ones in that way, and i would reiterate, you just asked me about the border patrol chief, the president was just there with the current chief owens, the president went to the border, obviously texas, to lift up the importance of doing something, of doing something at the border and i would be remiss if i did not continue to say that republicans rejected a bipartisan proposal that came out of the senate. and so if they truly, truly cared about what was going on at the border, if they truly cared about this immigration policy and trying to fix that, trying to move forward in a step, in a way where we have a tough and fair law, they would work with us on it. they wouldn't listen to the former president who is clearly telling them to reject, telling republicans to reject it for his own political gain and that's truly shameful. >> will the president be watching the results come in tonight? >> the president is going to talk about the competition

council today. he is continuing to work -- >> sandra: we are going to continue to monitor this live at the white house, interesting moment there, john and katie, hearing peter doocy press her initially on this conversation that martha maccallum had with john kirby yesterday afternoon, kirby reassured repeatedly the president is engaged with all border agents, and department of homeland security despite the president only met with the current chief with the visit to the border at brownsville on thursday. but raul ortiz, heading up that position on "60 minutes," she could not say or john kirby could not say whether or not the president had ever met with him. the question is how was that possible, katie? >> it's possible because he doesn't really care about the border. the fact joe biden has been to the border twice in his 40 year political history says a lot and

if he's not interested in talking to people in charge he's not interested in solving the problem. he's not allowing problems to go with border patrol agents, you have a number of agents say they cannot talk about weighs going on for reprisal of what's going on, the former border patrol chief speaking with martha, he was not allowed to talk about the negatives at the border and elsewhere, but you know, the press secretary was also asked about the death of laken riley and whether president joe biden would discuss this in the state of the union address or elsewhere possibly. and the press secretary responded with harsher terms for republicans than she did for the man who allegedly murdered laken riley, and she was talked about even getting the question. so i think that just shows you they are not interested in discussing incidents that go against the narrative and prove their system of allowing countless people in who have

very rough backgrounds is not working when biden could reimplement remain in mexico to keep people like that alleged murderer out. >> john: doesn't sound like he has any plans to call the parents either. katie, great to talk to you. thanks so much. the president also is supposed to speak this hour about the economy, but the polling on that issue has been brutal for him. steve moore and robert wolf react just ahead. >> sandra: come breaking news on the senate, independent sinema says she will not run again. what does that mean for the senate math? can republicans pick that up. our political panel, mark and steven are here.

>> john: with the 2024 presidential race shaping up to be a rematch of 2020, attention is turning down ballots where the senate democrats hold a slim majority but republicans appear

optimistic that a favorable map could put them in the driver's seat to retake control of the upper chamber of commerce. bring in our panel, mark penn former clinton adviser and steve law. so republicans are feeling pretty good about the layout, you have dems defending in 23, republicans at 11. here is what they target in west virginia, solid republican with the governor, running for that senate seat. ohio is a toss-up, arizona a toss-up, and sinema announced she's not going to run. michigan and wisconsin lean democrat, maryland, likely d, open seat, who knows. steven, start with you, the announcement that sinema is not going to run, do you think that helps carrie lake or the other?

>> lake, sometimes voted for john mccain, for mark kelly, voted for sinema. the thing helpful here, reuben gallego is a hard left democrat and gives lake the opportunity to unite the party. he cannot reach the party like sinema got and a more competitive race. >> republicans are feeling pretty good about their chances of retaking the senate. but they were feeling pretty good in 2022 about extending their majority in the house and retaking the senate and we know how that turned out. >> oh, i think the general sentiment is that democrats have a very good chance of retaking the house and republicans maybe will retake the senate. i don't think this development is particularly good for them. i think a lot of democrats were worried that sinema would split

the democratic vote and i suspect probably arizona is going to be a pretty close microchasm for the rest of the nation where if it's lake, one candidate on the democrat side a little to the left, one a little to the right, the country not losing out on the centrist choice and it being .3% for biden last time. so this is going to be, i suspect, a toss-up of toss-up states with a really interesting vote. but you know, these races are still taking shape. you know, i saw a lot of blue on that map, i'm not sure the republicans have a lot of guaranteed gains except west virginia. >> john: the idea that sinema was diluting the democratic vote, i talked with steven but he seemed to think it was not that much and that lake would probably benefit. i want to ask this question, though, steven, what kind of coat tails do you think trum has this year?

2022, 199-34, and competitive races 46 and 33, not quite as one-sided. how do you think he'll do this year? >> i think so much of what defines the outcome of the senate and races across the country is the political terrain and the top three races, west virginia, ohio and montana, will all be won by president trump at the top of the ticket. if we win these three, we win the senate and i think if you look down at the next tier, you can see trump picking up a state like wisconsin, maybe pennsylvania, maybe michigan or close enough where we have good candidates, people like dave mccormick and eric and potentially mike rogers in a primary, we can be competitive even if it's just close. but in the top three seats, those are states that trump is going to win by large margins, which will help our candidates in those races. >> john: top of the ballot race,

steven mentioned michigan, the biden white house is trying to do everything it can to tell arab americans and muslims we are trying as hard as we can to get the situation in gaza and israel solved. but when you take a look at the results of the primary, there is a huge no biden vote in that state that just about adds up to what the differential was in 2020. >> well, look, i think the no biden vote thing has been overblown. there were 100,000 votes and 150,000 difference and i think those voters, they are not going to vote for donald trump, they are going to wind up voting. there is a stark difference between them on these policies and so i think they registered a protest about what they want. but the swing voters are ultimately going to decide the state. when you look at the map of swing voters, domestic issues, crime, immigration, inflation, economy, that's what's really on the top of voters' minds and

going to make the difference if the economy approves, biden will be in better shape. >> john: the uncommitted vote in michigan was 100,000, but dean phillips and marianne williamson, 140, so you are in spitting difference to what the differential was. great to chat with you. mark, we have to get you to come by the studio one of these days. >> happy to do it. >> sandra: great discussion. meanwhile, president biden is set to speak any moment now on his efforts to lower costs for families, says the white house. but americans say they are not feeling a whole lot of relief. robert wolf and steve moore will dig in and what can we expect tonight. >> they are trying to shame gasoline station owners, restaurant owners, supermarkets with 2% profit margins. the government knows one thing, when they flood the zone with money you will get inflation.

my name is sister monica claire. because of tiktok, i've created a community where people can feel safe asking questions about spirituality. i try to provide a really accessible way of them learning about religion and spirituality, that's not intimidating. somebody in the comments said, i have no idea how i got on nun talk, but i'm not mad about it. i'm going to teach you how to pray. i'm going to teach you how to meditate, how to connect with a higher power, because we need that. we need strength and comfort.

>> sandra: fox news alert, president biden is set to speak any moment now on what the white house says are his plans to lower costs for american families. but a fox news poll finds 61% of americans say this president has failed them on the economy and 58% say he's failed to help the working class. let's bring in robert wolf, a fox news contributor, former economic adviser, and steve, the very group this administration said they set out to help the most and they are hurting the most? >> sandra, it's taken three years for joe biden to realize that inflation is just killing families. and right now if you look at the official consumer price index numbers, what showing us is that the inflation rate for groceries, the thing that people have to buy every few

days, those are up by 22%. and now you have this new phenomenon that i think the president is going to mention in the state of the union, shrinkflation, you buy a bag of doritos, i'm addicted to them, so you used to have 30 and now 25. that didn't happen with donald trump in office where we had 2, 3% of inflation. >> sandra: it appears to me, robert, welcome to you, the administration sees the political headache, high food prices went after the food companies and said lower prices, restaurants should stop raising prices. they are dealing with rising labor costs, rise in input costs and food prices. i think voters will be asking themselves am i better off than three years ago and one thing is for sure. they are paying a whole lot more

and taking more and more on credit card debt to do that, robert. >> there's no question inflation reared its ugly head during covid and has continued to do so. we are much better off than in trump's last year, north of 10 million unemployed so we know we are doing better than his last year. >> sandra: due to joe biden's policies? >> here is what i would say. it was due to covid but inflation also was due to covid, supply chains were cut down, gas stations, let's be clear, the geopolitical risk of ukraine. >> sandra: i want to let you go. massive government spending that went too long, almost every economist agrees on that fact. >> wait a second, and we also agree that under trump 25% of debt went up, gdp went down, ok. under biden, deficits are lower than it was under trump and gdp is much higher. we can go through -- >> sandra: and you are including the last year, the pandemic year.

>> was trump president for four years or three years? come on. >> sandra: let steve rebutt. steve. >> well, you know, american economy was absolutely booming in january of 2020. i remember thinking oh, my god, things are so good right now, the best economy in decades, and then of course covid hit and we locked down the economy. but people forget -- the last six months of trump's presidency we had a big, as the businesses reopened, we had a nice expansion going. so, i don't buy that argument that biden, you know, restored the economy. in fact, if you look at the last month that trump was in office, robert, the inflation rate was 1.7%. how do you take the inflation rate from 1.7 to 9.2% in one months. one other thing. i'm sick and tired -- hold on, biden people keep blaming businesses. none of them, except for people like you, robert, but you are an anomaly. most of the people in the white

house including the president have never run a business. how dare they tell them to operate a business when joe biden has not made a profit in his whole life. >> you put me on a pedestal i don't want to hit you but i will anyway, we are friends. we know what happened when trump left the office. the world reopened, hospitality and leisure came back, went up 20%. wages have outperformed for ten months. cpi in the 2% level. >> sandra: just getting away from the now. we are looking at the past three years and the performance under this current president. because -- >> you are smart, sandra, you know that. >> sandra: thank you very much. they are touting and telling americans heading to the ballot box things are important. they are not feeling that and showing up in every single poll. i'm not saying -- this is a fox news poll on the percent of republicans and democrats, robert who say the economy is in

bad condition. 92% of republicans, more than half of democrats. 52%. and i want to finish off with this, i'll give you two seconds. credit card debt under this president, i cannot focus on this enough. >> a trillion dollars. >> sandra: when you are under -- in a situation you are trying to tame the sky high prices and you've got to have rising interest rates to bring them down, and you've got this massive amount of credit card debt accumulating, it's a big red flag for a lot of wall street economists. >> there's no question consumer credit is a red flag. we live in a consumer driven country, we spend more than we make. that has not changed in decades. that's what we are as a country. >> sandra: steve, final final. >> i know a guy who could bring inflation down and i think he will be the next president. are americans better off when trump was president --
