it is leap day, this is "fox and friends." we start with fox news alert, illinois becomes the third state to kick donald trump off the ballot as supreme court says they will take up the presidential immunity case. shannon bream on both of those in a minute. >> steve: plus, a dualing battle at the border, lawrence jones is live at the border. the dhs secretaries the border is a big problem. >> it's a crisis on multiple levels in multiple places. >> brian: very true. fit for duty, that is what president biden's doctors are saying after his physical. no cognitive test, i guess it will be a mystery. >> ainsley: he is feign. >> steve: he takes one everyday. >> brian: my bad. the finl hour of "fox and friends" starts now. animation. >> steve: fox news alert. our big story, two major stories this morning, president biden and former president trump are both making trips to the southern border today to discuss the border. >> ainsley: dualing visit as judge orders donald trump name removed from the illinois primary ballot. >> brian: lawrence is live on the ground in brownsville, we begin with shannon bream in washington on the former president's legal battle. shannon, what is the point of illinois doing this? i mean, come on, it is in the supreme court's hands. >> shannon: and they have said that any votes that come in for him cannot be counted because they have started early voting. they are waiting on the supreme court. the judge said if there is a decision in conflict with my decision, obviously mine gets stayed. you feel like these people won to make a statement. taking step of saying i find he has engaged in insurrection, which he has not been charged with or convicted of, didn't matter for this judge. >> steve: is it a political hit job. ultimately joe biden will win illinois in the general. to your point, they started early voting, the primary is march 19th. a lot of delegates donald trump could use to win the nomination on the republican side. is it a political hit job from a democratic judge? shannon bream that has been the argument in colorado and maine. judges hate to look political, they don't want that perception out there. when these people come forward and say all this about insurrection and not fit to be president, it does feel like a political decision. what this judge did overturned bipartisan election commission who said you can't mount this challenge and kick him off the ballot with the 14th amendment. they are overturning what was done in a bipartisan manner that doesn't work. the court will give a decision on colorado and that will make the case for what the rest of the states can do. >> ainsley: what about the supreme court agreeing to look at the immunity deal? >> shannon: it almost doesn't matter whether he wins or loses -- it does matter, as far as timeline, huge benefit to the trump team. supreme court saying we will expedite and hear arguments in late problem, pushes decision into june. that trial jack smith wanted to start march 4 is not happening. once you get the decision, late june, if the former president loses on immunity issue, he'll be able to go back to the trial court and say, you pick up where we left off and paused months ago, now we need discovery and pretrial motion, pushing this to september or october and then a question about whether a special counsel wants to be seen prosecuting the nominee leading up to an election. >> brian: that is key, what is the date where it looks like election interference? republicans and democrats have their opinion. legally what is the date? can you start something october 1? can jack smith go and say mr. former president, you are off the campaign trail, come sit in court? >> shannon: there has been an unwritten policy that is an understanding you don't have legal action involving a candidate within 60 days. a lot of folks argue special counsel is not bound by those things and they could possibly be well within jack smith's rights or his authority to go ahead and have a trial that close to the election. i think if they do and if president trump is the nominee and fighting for his political and legal life at that point, it will embolden his case that his rival's doj is after him while trying to become president. that will be the argument. >> steve: imagine it comes within the 60-day doj statute of limitation thing. they say, can't do it now, wait until after the election. say donald trump is elected president again, could they start the trial afterward, have it before he's inaugurated and then the thinking is if he's elected he will figure way to pull strings and throw it all away. >> shannon: tough calculation at that point if that is the 16arrio, if president trump is re-elected and waiting to be sworn in, he can pardon himself. do they want to convict him in the interim, heavy political calculation. >> brian: that is usually time they ramp up russia conspiracy, they can't do both at the same time. >> ainsley: that was great, shannon, we have a better understanding, thank you so much. good to see you. >> brian: watch her "fox news sunday" on sunday and on our show at 2:00 p.m. >> steve: glad we have her on retainer. >> brian: fox news alert, few hours, president biden will leave the white house to head to the southern border for the second time in his career. biden and trump making dualing visits to the border today. trump will be at the hot spot in eagle pass. biden will be in brownsville, an area seeing only 46 apprehensions in the same time frame. >> steve: white house and republicans trading jabs, each saying it is a political stunt heading into an election year. it's a big day and we have dispatched lawrence jones down in brownsville, where joe biden is going to go. and lawrence, you arrived early on the scene, talking what do people make of him showing up so late in the game? >> lawrence: steve, the pundits can go back and forth whether it is a political stunt, but people remember. same people i spoke to today, i spoke to a year ago when the surge was happening and they wonder why the president of the united states has come johnny be lately, why coming to visit a place where the crossings are only 15 to 17 people per day and not going to the epicenter of the crisis? why not go to eagle pass or arizona? only visitor he will get is talk with a stage, border patrol, leadership, he's going to talk with community members, he will not get a feel of what it is like to have a crisis at the border. you will hear back and forth and hear the president talk about donald trump and the border bill that was the bipartisan bill in the senate, that bill is dead on arrival and the question is what are they going to do right now? he broke it, what is he going to do to fix the border with executive action. if they are waiting on a bill in the senate during an election year where the president can have some sort of victory or feel like he did something symbolic, that will not happen. >> steve: john cohen essentially is going to embrace the approximate the to show a united front, saying it is a good thing. they are happy their model in brownsville for keeping residents safe while managing the migrants is working. i think that is what he'll say today. >> lawrence: yeah, the question is who managed the migrants? whose action secured the border? politics are local, as well. you have embracing of the president, that is what dignitaries do. reality is, president of the united states was not here a year ago when the surge was happening, it was texas dps and national guard under greg abbott that fixed it. when will the president meet with greg abbott, will he reimburse texas for the billions dedicated to border security and we know the answer to that, it was no. >> ainsley: i was reading this morning reason they are not crossing into brownsville is because of infrastructure donald trump set up and what greg abbott has done in the area. >> steve: there is a wall behind lawrence. >> ainsley: i saw that, we had former secretary of dhs, jay johnson, under obama administration. biden was his vice president, he was on the curvy couch earlier talking about the growing crisis in the united states. >> it is a crisis on the southern border in texas and arizona and a crisis here in midtown, manhattan a few blocks away. you can see migrants by the roosevelt hotel, by time square, extended nationwide. the issue is, what do we do about it? do we play politics and scream or fix the problem? there are solutions to the problem, given our politics, they have become politically unobtainable. we need more border patrol, more judges, emergency authority like a title 42, when numbers get high. we need to fix how one qualifies for asylum in this country. >> brian: very interesting to hear him bring up title 42, the president couldn't wait to get rid of it. we were down to just a couple thousand crossing. what is interesting about where president trump is going is shelby park. state authority kicked out border patrol and said, stay on the outside, we will make our own fence. guess what, it stopped. i know it pushed it like a funnel further down, squeezed it down, it stopped all illegal immigrants coming in and the park returns to the people and it is now safe to go have a picnic. that is what trump will see today. >> lawrence: so true and you got to go back to the statement of, it is nationwide now. why is it nationwide? remember greg abbott was told bussing the migrants to sanctuary cities was a political stunt. what it did, made everyone feel in the country that we're supposed to be sanctuary cities, what texas has been experiencing all along. listen to democrats carefully, there is an attempt getting closer to election to spin the issue and make it a unified front and say it is just republicans and democrats going at it with one another. we had a secure border. cartel was on the run under the last administration. something changed. day one, remain in mexico was done, they stopped building the wall, it is rusting on the border right now, all the technology in the wiring, using cameras and all that stuff, that biden voted for, this wall was before trump. joe biden voted for it and he becomes president and he doesn't like barriers anymore. don't buy the spin from the democrats today, again, it will be used as an election issue, number one issue for voters. >> steve: jay johnson said this is an election year and both sides blame each other. >> brian: we know who is to blame, 99% -- >> ainsley: lawrence, you were talking to people when you arrived and most everyone you interviewed said this is a political stunt. where was our president years ago, why on year three does he decide during an election year or year four decide he wants to come down here now? >> steve: and jay johnson was saying, set politics aside, to do the right thing and figure way and he would like to see something pass through congress. he said while joe biden said don't come, kamala harris said don't come, you need to say that over and over and over and show up at the airport where you are deporting people so the message is engrained. don't come. he said this is his big point aside from legislation and changing the law. he said, people wouldn't be coming toward that wall if mexico did their part. here is the former secretary. >> overwhelming factor at issue are push factors, aspects that serve as magnets to the problem. there is a reason why families are making a decision to leave nicaragua, el salvador, honduras and guatemala and head north. one thing we need to do which doesn't get talked about, get the mexican government to do more on their border in central america. we have 1900 mile border with mexico, they have 300 mile border with central america, they don't have border enforcement force down there. >> steve: he's right. lawrence not that it is not talked about enough, they stopped talking about it. there were 20,000 mexican maknow radios on the border unleashed on them. politicians tell you they want to get to the root cause and deal with the depression in our country. we have our own depression in our country. we have our education system that need to be repaired in eshg m. that is going to take time to get rid of those problems. the problem is, you don't have a problem willing to put pressure on foreign governments and let them know. if you keep sending your people to the country, we will tax you on it. that was ended under joe biden. donald trump put pressure on them, why did that end? big question to democrats, why did it stop? >> brian: big push now to get rid of sanctuary cities and be re-examined from the white house and push to cooperate with ice. we never thought -- lawrence, stay right there and we'll check in with you again. white houses president biden does not need a cognitive test and president claiming his doctor thinks he looks to young. >> ainsley: former house speaker backing up concern about approximate's mental fitness says the president relies on note cards. >> steve: lucas tomlinson the president made a joke. >> lucas: soon to be march madness and president biden's yearly physical, here is biden's report. [indiscernible] -- >> lucas: biden's doctors say he is fit for duty, this is cut and pasted from last year. the president's gait remains stiff, but not changed from last year. biden started using shorter stairs, someun waed biden to have a cognitive test. it did not happen. here is karine jean-pierre. >> the president does not need a cognitive test, that is not my assessment, that is the assessment of his doctor. >> lucas: the president's increased use of notecards, here is kevin mccarthy. >> negotiate with him the debt ceiling, he just sticks to the cards. if you deviate from the cards, he can't continue on. >> lucas: while hosting governors last week, he botched a quote from lincoln, and claimed he traveled 17,000 with xi jinping and a fact checker awarded three pinocchios. see you next month, guys. >> steve: cherry blossoms. >> ainsley: and march madness. >> steve: thank you. weather is warm there and here, too, until this morning and carley, we woke up and it was chilly. >> carley: that is right, i shook jay johnson's hand and he said, sorry it is so cold, it is freezing outside. i understand that. fox news alert manhunt in washington after d.c. housing authority officer was shot in the stomach. investigators close roads and are asking drivers to avoid the scene. one mile east of the white house, the officer was rushed to the hospital, he is conscious and breathing, details are unclear. 10 confirmed cases of measles after the outbreak began this month at elementary school. doctors are warning adults if you were vaccinated for the measles in the '70s, you may not be protected. ask your doctor to check to see if you need an updated shot. no labels party will meet next friday to discuss a path forward, the party's delegates are from all 50 states set to regroup after super tuesday to evaluate plans for november. organization is grappling with candidates to lead their independent unity ticket after joe manchin and larry hogan declined to run for president. they got an idea, they don't have a candidate to back it up. to college basketball, caitlin clark breaking the all-time scoring record while leading iowa to victory last night. >> just shy of setting a women's record. make it one shy. caitlin clark, wow! hand in her face. >> carley: hawkeyes beating the golden gophers. clenching the title for most three pointers made in a single season. those are your headlines. >> steve: my family in iowa, they all -- she is the biggest star in the entire state. >> ainsley: when can women's basketball recruit her?

>> that is right. i'm disappointed in that, i couldn't disagree more on that opinion and i encourage him to change from that policy and work with law enforcement. that does not speak for law enforcement members that i work with and i know it does not speak for the sheriffs around georgia. i lay this squarely at the feet of the mayor and three or four members that ran under the socialist ticket in athens, georgia. they chopped the wood that built the fire and lit the match and created this environment where folks felt they couldn't work with law enforcement and now trying to say it is not them and that is wrong. >> steve: proof is in the pudding, mr. attorney general, is athens, georgia, now working with ice? >> i hope they are. i hope this uproar and realizing that we have lost a life, we need to work together. they have changed it. the president of the united states could do something at the border and deport those convicted of crimes and run through the process. something needs to happen. congress has to get back together and put together a bill that makes sense and will protect all more thanes. >> steve: yesterday the white house sanctuary cities should start working with ice, see if they listen. thank you for joining us today. great prediction he made yesterday on the program. donald trump and joe biden holding dualing trips to the border. lawrence is live in brownsville, coming up next and shape-up on the hill, mitch mcconnell stepping down as long-time leader of the senate on the republican side. senator rubio on who might replace him, senator, you are next. and duckduckgo lets you browse like chrome, but it blocks cooi and creepy ads that follow youa from google and other companie. and there's no catch. it's fre. we make money from ads, but they don't follow you aroud join the millions of people taking back their privacy by downloading duckduckgo on all your devices today.

>> first of all, i think mitch mcconnell, whether you like him or not is most consequential republican senator and maybe senator period, in terms of work he's done on issues. it will be hard to have another mitch mcconnell in terms of impact because of the way the world has changed. we'll see who is interested. we have good people and we have members that will hopefully put us in the majority. those members deserve to have a voice, as well. i would say this, important for republicans, every race we win from now on and support we get from now on is coming from voters looking for leaders who will do simple things. secure our border, stop mass migration, deal with runaway government spending and start making more things in america, stop sending jobs overseas and prioritize and say okay, before anything else, make sure something is good for america and good for americans. imagine that, putting america and americans as your number one priority. everything we do in the world has to be viewed through that lens. these are common sense things. the extremists are the people against that. if we are fortunate enough to take the majority, it is people who are elected campaigning on those things. our leaders have to reflect and respect that and upon be people who will not view that as radical. that is important criteria and every decision we make between now and november in the senate and house, or how we vote for people for offices back home. >> brian: donald trump, two court cases yesterday, immunity taken up by supreme court and number two, illinois will try to keep him off the ballot. when it comes to immunity, were you shocked to hear nikki haley kay what she said. do you think that is helpful?
