we got to move and understand and embrace and compete with china forward and there's an e snore mouse 500 billion -- enormous $50 b $500 billion deao build storage and data and forward footing coming to ai, ashley. it's really stunning to see what you can do putting your mind to it and getting cooperation from public entities as well. ashley: he's doing what he said he'd do on the campaign trail. that's quite a concept. boy, it he ever. this one, martha, wall street journal reporting there's been a rise of young republicans on college campuses and what is it about donald trump that's so appealing to youngster s? what do you think? >> in so many ways we're see ago 1980s-type moment when reagan was elected and there was a lot

of college campus activity around the reagan ticket and excitement around it and wonderful thing here is going to be students go existing on campus and the republican club and democrat club and talk to each other and debate things and be free in the united states of america and wear laffer shirt or hat going to wear and not going to be os sized and this is good news for -- ostracized and this is good news for academics and the professors will probably have the hardest time, but student haves an enate sense having a freedom of speech ashley and starting to get it hugely positive. ashley: they were not only ostracized but physically attacked as well. martha, we're already out of time, but thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. ashley: we'll watch you on the story. our pleasure. weekdays at 3:00 p.m. eastern on the fox news channel. don't miss it. back to president trump announcing $500 billion investment to build ai

ashley: president trump signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship. david spunt is at the justice department this morning and, david, 22 democrat attorneys general have already launched a lawsuit on this. what grounds are they suing? reporter: well, ashley, they believe an executive order is just that, an executive order, and it does not pardon the pun, trump the u.s. constitution. in the 14th amendment, a mention of birthright citizenship, and

they believe the constitution obviously trumps an executive order. however, they're suing, and this brings this entire case, into the federal judiciary. that's perhaps exactly what president trump and his team want to bring this into the judicial system. even maybe making its way for the supreme court at some time. the president's executive order looking to stop handing out citizenship to children born in the united states, to parents not legal citizens. trump says people have abused the process for years and sometimes they come in at the end of the pregnancy just to have the baby here. his order aims to end that. those fighting the executive order say the constitution, ashley, is the constitution and no executive order signed by any president can change that, watch. >> this is an extreme and unprecedented act. this executive order is an assault on the rule of law. it attacks a right that is core to our nation's earliest days.

reporter: eventually this case, az mentioned, would make it is way to the steps of the supreme court so the justices weigh in. >> if the court likely does rule that birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the constitution, that will itself trigger a new debate as to whether we should amendment the constitution. reporter: ashley, this is a larger portion by the trump doj to take on illegal immigration enforcement here in the united states. just a couple of hours ago, we obtained a memo from the acting deputy attorney general, former defense attorney to president trump who says that all 93 u.s. attorney's offices should investigate any local or state officials that are not cooperating in helping these immigration enforcement operations. so the doj very much focusing on immigration in the days, weeks, months, years ahead. ashley. ashley: no big surprise there. david, thank you very much. i want to bring in congressman

brian babin, congressman from texas. you're planning to introduce a bill this week that would limit birthright citizenship. does it actually cut the flow of illegal migrants in your opinion? >> many my opinion, it will most certainly cut the flow of illegal migrants. it is one of the most abused loopholes we have in our immigration system. the fact that president trump wrote an executive order to be a part of this border security package, we want to make sure that that executive order cannot just be overturned by the next president. we need to get this into law, and as professor turley said just a second ago on your show, ashley, we must get this codified. this needs to be a permanent fix for a very, very bad problem. we have some good provisions in

this bill, which i think will eliminate the loophole and abuse that's been going on with the birthright citizenship. ashley: absolutely. i want to get to this one, donald trump signing an executive order to stop agencies from using $300 billion in green infrastructure funding. you're on the house transportation and infrastructure committee. is seeps like the green new deal is out the window, would you agree? >> i would agree, and i would agree 100% that it is high time to do so. we have wasted enough time, enough money, and put our taxpayers on the hook for the last four years of this biden administration that has not only the green new deal, but the open boarders and the overspending, which is given us historic inflation. it's high time this president -- it's a new day, ashley, in this country and i haven't felt this

optimistic about my country in four long years. elated he's signing these executive orders. ashley: it is remarkable. what are you hearing in the hallways? what are they whispering because, you know, donald trump has hit the ground more than running. he's action man right now. >> there's no question about it. this is a man of action. this is a leader that's strong. for four years, we haven't had leadership. and all of a sudden we've got somebody that's going to take the reigns, put america first, and fix the problems that the insane, stupid, i have to use the word stupid here, because some of these policies are nothing but ig ignorant and stud and birthright citizenship is one of those. so this is why we have introduced this bill, and i support -- i fully support the couple of hundred executive orders. me being from the state of

texas, we have to get energy independence back. energy independence is just like border security. it is national security. ashley: absolutely. congressman brian babin, indeed it is a new day and then some. thank you so much, congressman, for joining us this morning. we always appreciate it. >> yes, sir. ashley: thank you. >> thank you, ashley. god bless. ashley: cofounder of ben and jerries -- thank you. cofounder of ben and jerry's just threw his support behind elon musk and department of government efficiency or doge. madison, this guy is as far left as you can get so my question is: why is he supporting elon musk? madison: he's supporting him because he's fed up with government waste, specifically at the pentagon. he believes that musk is the man to get the job done. ben cohen has launched this contest in an attempt to get more focus from the public eye on government waste. he announced the launch of the meme contest yesterday in an x post saying "pentagon

bureaucrats torched $2 million of taxpayer money every minute in honor of doge, i'm launching doge versus blob, meme contest high lying the biggest government spender and waster. we're giving away 1,000doge coin a day if anyone can slash the pentagon budget, elon musk can. let's support him". people can enter nine memes a day for the next few days and he'll select ten winners to get 1,000doge coin each. he asked musk about the effort and he said the key to getting anything done in the country is work with people of any political persuasion. there you have it, ash. ashley: i hope he takes his own advice. all right, very good, madison. thank you. coming up, athl kathy hochul mae changing her tune on the migrant crisis. her latest action regarding the migrants in new york city. our next guest by the way says latinos that came to the u.s. legally are fed up with open

mexico. there's no justice. the police are scared of the cartels in mexico. that's why all the latinos that i know, they're ecstatic and extremely happy that president trump signed the executive order to classify the cartels as terrorists organizations because they are. they are. they rape, they steal, they kill, and they commit crimes. i think the mexican government has been unable to clean up the cartels so i'm excited for the u.s. to step in. ashley: do you think that trump has the right to -- right approach to crack down on the illegal border crossings 124 will it be effective? >> absolutely. he has every single right. it's actually a human rights violation what's going on at the border right now. hi a private round table meeting with tom homan last week in naples, florida, with the young republicans, and he told us that close to 80% of women who are crossing the border are being raped by the cartel. instead of the immigration

process being handled by the american authorities in a humane way, the way it's supposed to be handled, the cartels are charging innocent women to cross the border, and they're falling into human trafficking, they're falling into drug trafficking, and it is really human rights violation what's happening at the border so we need to get it up. ashley: president trump getting pushback for his deportation plans. lawler do you make of those plaf those plans? >> well, listen, when i had the meeting with tom homan, he said there's three priorities the president has begin him. number one is to secure the border; right. it makes no sense to deport people who are just going to be able to come in and continue to come in illegally. number two is to get rid of the bad guys. their focus for this next 100 days is going to be ongoing to the jails. president biden changed the rules a lot. it used to be the case that if you were here illegally and committed a second crime, the first crime is crossing

illegally and committed a second crime, that was automatic deportation. it's a no brainer and just broke the law. in the democrat cities like new york, california, chicago, they've been releasing these people so they've been releasing them on bail back into the communities. his first order -- second order is to go to the jails and start the deportation process. the third is to find the trojan. we have 400,000 children missing at the boarder and no idea where they are and third directive to is find the children. ashley: last one for you, tony. i have to ask this. you're a former democrat turned trump supporter. what made you switch? >> so i worked for the robert f. kennedy jr. independent campaign, and i really feel that the maga movement, this is not about democrats. this is not about republicans. this is like the new patriot party. it's both sides coming together, it's the unity party to make america great again. one last thing, if we clean up

the cartels, and we actually are able to stop the crime that's happening at the north of mexico, that's going to make mexico great again. ashley: there you go. it's a great place to leave it right there. tony delgado, thank you for joining us and sharing your thought withs us. >> thanks for having me on. ashley: coming up, i want to get to this story, governor of new york kathy hochul seems to be changing her tune on the thousands of migrants living in new york city. come back in, madison. what is she doing about it? madison: she's closing new york state's wallet. governor hochul will not provide any new funding to new york city to manage the migrant crisis here. hochul previously committed to covering a third of the city's costs associated with sheltering migrants. no more. they have the new budget that was announced yesterday, and it's a $252 billion spending plan that doesn't include help for new york city.

it's not yet set in stone and needs to be approved by the legislature, but that is a status quo at this point. in the meantime, new york city does he access to $2.9 billion but, yeah, good luck with getting new money from the state. more than 230,000 migrant haves come to new york city since april of 2022, and the city spent a total of $6.9 billion on migrants. they're going to spend another $6.9 billion over the next four years. there are currently 50,000 migrants that are being housed here. that means housing, they're being fed, educated, and free healthcare. but it's going to be on new york city's tab very soon, ash. ashley: wow. that's a ton of money. all right, madison, thank you very much. all right. coming up, president trump announcing the largest ai infrastructure project in history. and it could have a major impact on healthcare. >> we will see diseases get cured in unprecedented rates.

cancer in the individual and we'll be able to tailor the prevention of that cancer, the treatment of the cancer depending on the individual who has that particular tumor. we've not been able to do that before and we can develop a cancer vaccine -- go ahead. ashley: sorry to interrupt, but i'm thinking this is a treatment as a posed to a cure. or is it a cure? >> it could be a cure, but it's highly unlikely that with the various numbers of different cancers that we have, that this is going to be a total cure. but what it's going to be able to do is taylor or treatment to the -- tailor our treatment to the individual. everybody is different and respond differently to anticancer drugs. they respond differently to the diagnosis and oftentimes it takes us months to make the diagnosis and find out where the primary tumor is. using these tools, these molecular tools, such as using

genetics and looking at people's genes to see if they have the gene to produce this particular form of cancer, we can -- ashley: yeah, it really s. i want to move onto this one, doctor. a new study found weight loss drugs like ozempic and wegovy could increase risk of developing alzheimer disease. every day there's another benefit to the weight loss drugs, it's remarkable. >> that is truly, ash, that is the case. i have many of my patients who watch television and read the papers and say can i go on these drugs? not for weight loss but to prevent alzheimer, which is the current data that shows, you know, our brains are extraordinarily plastic. they are very resilient, and

these drugs we find in animals decrease inflammation in the brain, and also enhance the new growth of nerves in the brain, which is extraordinary. and also, you know, beta amyloid is a specific protein found in the brain of people with alzheimer disease, these decrease beta amyloid at least in the animal models so it's going to improve, not only the sugar metabolism within the brain but going to improve the fact that neurodegeneration is going to be halted. these have great prosperity for us as we go forward. ashley: the only downside i hear about on these particular weight loss drugs, doctor, are some of the side effects. do you hear that from your patients? >> very rarely, but some of the side effects aren't r to be seen with the so-called ozempic face

and few other remarkable things that happen when people are on them for long periods. remember, these drugs were originally designed for diabetics so the management of glucose or sugar in the blood is what's really very important. ashley: fascinating. i've got to get to this one, president trump bringing back famous diet coke button to the oval office. he reportedly drinks 12 diet cokes every day and of course he loves mcdonalds, kfc, doesn't drink alcohol or coffee on the plus side. what do you make of the trump diet? >> i think donald trump is quite amazing in so far as he is not drinking alcohol, does not smoke, and he keeps it in the family that he doesn't want his children to drink alcohol or his grandchildren either. he has noble goals in his life. a lot of it has been structured by members of his family, who have suffered from alcoholism in

the past. the distant past. so i think this diet is what is the usual diet of americans, you know, diet coke. actually most of us do drink coffee in the morning. i call that the elixir of life and we have to be stimulated in some, diet coke for him, indeed, probably does the same thing because it does have caffeine. it's probably not for everyone, but i think he has extraordinary personal discipline. ashley: wow. i'd like a coffee button on my desk but i actually do. my wife brings me regular mugs of coffee throughout the show. i'll have to thank her for that. c we thank you for being here today as well. fascinating stuff. lots to talk about. thank you so much. all right, take ago look at dow 30 stocks -- thank you, doctor. take ing a look at dow 30 stocks and the dow is up 85 points but there's more red than green.

absolutely. well, basically we have a problem here in london, and it's called the current government because as you can see and probably know, the president, president trump really has zero time for our british prime minister. you could go a little bit further and say also encapsulate the deputy prime minister, foreign secretary, home secretary because there's been so disparaging about the president. once again, it's left to the british monarchy to pave the way to keep the very special relationship together. this really, let me tell you, ashley, was sort of cemented when prince william and the president met in paris. you know, notre dame. they got on so well. on bended knee for prince william for this. ashley: you know, there's talk that perhaps the royals maybe king charles and queen camilla, could come over next year for the 250th anniversary of

independence of the declaration of independence, basically when the u.s. kicked the britts out. think they'd bop -- they'd be up for that? >> 100%. on a more serious note, 100%. there's a nicer story behind it, ashley. basically the president wants to thank the british monarchy. he got along incredibly well with your majesty, the queen, and king charles. they have a good, strong relationship. he knows what they've gone through, he very much sees these, you know, people, our british monarchy, as people he could do sensible business with on a more serious note. i think that's where he's going to put his lenience towards prince charles and -- king charles and prince william and that would have prestige and strengthen our relationship between the two, which is very precarious as they say right now and rightly so.

ashley: i have to ask you, neil, while we have you there, why was boris johnson at the inauguration? >> well, here's an interesting story. as you know, ashley, living here as a period, boris johnson, big character and a lot of people were stunned to see him in the rotunda and people who thought they were friends of the president found themselves watching it in a hotel room. the reason boris was there is because he covered for an esteemed newspaper, but the other side of the coin is that behind the scenes, the president and boris get on well all thanks to another amazing leader that we had, sir winston churchill. boris wrote a book and gave a copy to president trump and a friendship was born. thank you, by the way, to president trump for re-instating the bust of of winston churchill back in the white house. there was a lot of happiness here in great britain, let me

tell you. ashley: yes, after obama took it out. i want to get back to prince william if we can, neil. there are questions here, he seems to be taking on more of a role. you see him everywhere now. you mentioned notre dame. does this in any way signal that king charles isn't in good shape or is that not the case? >> you know issue honestly, ashley, what you hear over here is as we know, we go into this year that the treatment is still going on with his majesty the king. look, let's be blunt, this is a man over his 75th now, you know. they have to decide where they want to go and who they want to see. you know, william is over 40 himself so we fertilizer that. we box him in these places and i think it's good that william has training while his father is here. a little bit like of course his majesty the king, who was so fortunate to have queen elizabeth guiding him through. that's why personally he's doing a terrific job now. absolutely. ashley: neil sean, great to talk
