for elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. >> i'm also going to ask all a nato nations to increase defense spending to 5% of gdp. russia-ukraine war would end immediately. i terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful green new deal, withdrew from the one-sided paris climate accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. e.u. treats us very, very unfairly, very badly. we just want to be treated fairly. i blame this on us, and i blame it on politicians who have allowed other nations to take advantage of the u.s. we can't allow that to happen anymore. edward: president donald trump, day three already calling out global leaders and business ceos for taking advantage of american america and american workers saying europe's time is up, and davos attendees are visibly nervous. >> trump has done something no person in the world has ever done before.
5:02 pm
a dead politician has a prison aren, therefore, he thinks he can to do anything. >> we need to factor in who's won, trump. but who's lost, us. edward: byron donalds here to react in moments. plus, trump's full agenda is full steam. ahead. the president just signed another series of executive actions make -- aiming to make the u.s. the world leader. on the, david sacks is here exclusively to talk about it. also tonight this is what frump's deportations -- president trump's deportations look like. >> i'm not going back to haiti. [bleep] trump, you feel me? yo, biden forever, bro. edward: the first images showing arrests of ms-113 gang member, murder suspects and drug dealers. tonight fox news' bill melugin exclusively shows us video of
5:03 pm
that a arrest and more. but first -- >> this has been a truly historic week in the united states. three days ago i took the oath of office, can and we began the golden age of america. what the world has witnessed in the past 72 hours is nothing less than a revolution of common sense. our country will soon be stronger, wealthier and more united than ever before, and the entire planet will be more peaceful and prosperous. my message to every business in the world is very simple, come make your product in america, and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth. i'm also going to ask all a nato nations to increase defense spending to the 5% of gdp. russia-ukraine war would end immediately. e.u. treats us very, very unfairly, very badly. they don't take our -- essentially, don't take our farm products and they don't take our cars, yet they send cars to us by the millions. they put tariffs on things that
5:04 pm
we want to do. we just want to be treated fairly. i blame this on us, and i blame it on politicians. they've allowed other nations to take advantage of the u.s. we can't allow that to happen anymore. edward: president trump remote arely addresses business and political leaders at the world economic forum, this as a davos attendees are in crisis mode. >> trump has done something no person in the world has ever done beforement -- before. a dead politician has risen. four years ago at davos he's buried, dead politically. he's now returned. this is the greatest comeback in political history. of a politician. and, therefore, he thinks he can do anything. >> we need to also factor in not only who's won, which is trump, but who's lost which is to say us. out of the epitome of the us who is losing here is europe.
5:05 pm
edward: the president of argentina also calling them out saying davos' time over. >> translator: what once seemed like the absolute global hegemony of the woke left in politics, educational institutions and the media and super-national organizations or even forums like davos has begun to crumble. and i hope for the -- and the hope for the ideas of freedom is starting to merge. edward: joining us now, florida congressman byron donalds. the speech was really putting the world on notice that the u.s. is open or if business, but also the united states will not be taken advantage of anymore. have we seen a shift now in global power over the past 77 hours? >> we absolutely have. i think for the vast majority of the american people it's the about damn time. we have seen year after year, decade after decade where terrible trade deals and weak with politicians have ceded our
5:06 pm
sovereignty and our economic strength to other countries around the world. and donald trump is coming in and saying, enough of that. america's going to be dominant, it's going to be number one. and i think that the faulty logic, frankly, in the democratic party but then also a with some republicans has been that if every other country can rise even if it means america has the stagnate or slightly decline are, it's better for everybody. but that's not the way the real world works. the way the real world works is somebody's got to be the leader. somebody's got to be the most dominant and then demonstrate through your work ethic, your ingenuity what is possible to other fakes. and then they can -- other nations. they can rise themselves by following america's lead. that's donald trump's philosophy, that's the american people's philosophy and what everybody at davos heard today. edward: you know, it's interesting, america has sort of been carrying the bill, paying the bill for europe when it comes to a number of the, a number of the things that this
5:07 pm
europe deals with related to their security. if do you think this is -- do you think europe is going to step up now that president trump hats sort of put them on notice today? >> they're going to drag their feet. they're going to hem and haw. but the truth of the matter is they need to step up. nato's been in existence for more than 80 years now. they can have the ability to pay for their defense. we should allow hem to do so. it should -- them to do so. it should be far more of a shared expense as we move forward. and especially considering the fact that the nature of warfare is changing from when nato was brought together to what the future's going to be, everybody's going to have to chip in on this thing. it can't just be america doing it alone, paying for it alone. they need to step up. edward: yeah, trump called out the biggest bank ceos right to their face today. listen to this. >> i hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and if that included a place called bank of america.
5:08 pm
this -- they don't take conservative business, and i don't know if regulators mandated that that because of biden or what, but you and jamie and everybody, i hope you're going to open your banks to conservatives because what you're doing is wrong. edward: the accusation is that the bank of america wasn't lending to conservative customers. they have also worked out with biden's doj and treasury department during the january 6th probe, they sort of helped them with that. what kind of message that was? >> that message was we are not playing these type of fascistic games anymore. the banks, they have a responsibility to cater to all customers in the united states. they don't get to pick and choose simply because of somebody's politics. that's awful. it's disgusting, and it's something that was brought back to us by the democrats and by the radical esg movement which in part was coming out of davos, switzerland. so what donald trump is telling them is, get back to just doing business. get out of the game of politic des. that's not your lane. let us deal with that on capitol
5:09 pm
hill. but if you're going to be a commercial bank in the united states, open your doors to the american people. let them choose if they want to bank with you or work with you or not. if that's their decision. they shouldn't be blackballed because they support a politician or a political party. edward: congress byron ronald prodonalds from the great staid of -- donalds, from the great state of florida, thank you. >> thank you. >> -- and this, david, is? >> the crypto e.o., we're going to be forge an internal working group to make america the world capital if crypto under your leadership. >> which is really going up, right? >> absolutely. [background sounds] david, that's -- >> thanks. [background sounds] you find them exciting?
5:10 pm
we're going to make a lot of money for the country. >> thank you, sir. >> and so is dade. dade. you have to check him out. there's nobody like this guy. they said, how did you get david sacks? if how did you do that? and he's, he's doing it for the country more than anything else. so we appreciate it, david, thank you very much. edward: president donald trump announcing a new crypto working group f quote, developing a regulatory framework for crypto assets signaling a drastic policy shift from the if biden administration after trump promised the make america the capital of crypto. joining us now is president trump's a.i. and crypto czar, david sacks, the man the president says is the man. [laughter] david, thank you for joining us, first of all. second of all, this promises made, promises kept? donald trump said on july 27th that he would stop federal agencies from targeting the crypto industry. he made good on that promise today, right? >> yeah, absolutely. president trump campaigned to be
5:11 pm
the first crypto prime minister he gave a now-famous -- president. he gave a now-famous speech in nashville where he described how he was going to change the regulatory environment, and he signed this executive order today. he's directed our working group to produce a regulatory frame ifwork that's going to encourage innovation in crypto in the united states, keeping the industry onshore rather than driving it offshore which is what was happening under the biden administration. edward: first, the executive order halts what president trump calls aggressive enforcement actions and is cover reach. what is he talking about there -- overreach. >> yeah. well, edward, for the last pour years the biden administration has basically prosecuted and persecuted crypto companies, really driving them offshore. identify heard so many outrageous stories by founders, entrepreneurs. the biden administration would not tell them what the rules of the road were, and they would get prosecuted. what the industry wants more than anything else is regulatory clarity. just tell us what the rules are, we will abide by them. and the biden administration
5:12 pm
would never do that. and because of that, all the innovation was basically moving offshore, and america was about to lose this technology of the future. and is we want that innovation happening here in the united states, and i think it will now because president trump has declared that the must be the crypto capital of the world. edward: so it creates this working group that you will chair. what will you be looking for and what type of guidelines are you looking to put out? >> yeah. so a few areas. number one, market structure. we need to define what is a security, what's a commodity, what's a digital asset or collectible, you know? so there's a few different categories here. defining the market structure is important. secondary is stable coins. i think stable coins are a really interesting area. it gives us the opportunity to extend the dollar's dominance internationally. we can basically create a digital dollar that people all over the world will use. and then the third area that we're going to look at a is we're sal waiting this national stockpile -- evaluating this national stockpile for digital as sets. we haven't created it yet, but
5:13 pm
we're going to study that issue. edward: haven't a made the decision to go forward, is that what you're saying? is. >> that's correct. we're going to evaluate that. we need to study that. edward: so is crypto an asset or a currency then? [laughter] >> well, when you're talking about digital assets, it can be multiple things. you've got digital assets that are securities, that are commodities, digital as sets that are collectibles like nfts or meme if coins. so, you know, you're talking about a whole vast area of innovation. and so digital assets can be a number of different thing, ask that's why you need a clear regulatory framework that says, you know, which areas are which. what are the definitions. and that's what founders need. founders just need clarity around definitions. they need to know what the rules of the road are so they can by -- abide by them and be confident they're not going to be arbitrarily prosecuted. e e ed how fast with this help america catch up? >> we're going to catch up really fast. the innovation was starting to move offshore, places in
5:14 pm
singapore and even in europe that were ahead of us, but now i think it's going the change very fast. if you look at silicon valley and the technology industry in general, thest leads in virtually every category, and crypto is one of the few exceptions. and i think that's ooh going coy rectified because of the executive order today. edward: i want your take on the trump coin. can are you concerned about a conflict of to interest there? >> i don't think so. it's a collectible. like i mentioned, there's different car -- categories. that's a collectible. it's like a baseball card or a stamp, people buy it because they want to commemorate something. i'm not a regulator, but my personal opinion is it's totally fine. ed so this executive order bans agencies from developing a central bank digital currency. why is that in. >> well, cbdcs are a real threat to liberty. you're talking about moving to a central bank digital currency. that would be run out of washington by the fed and would
5:15 pm
basically gradually replace cash. it could lead to new laws and dictates about how people spend their money. so i think people are very concerned that could be an orwellian bath to go down -- path to go down. and i think we can create stable coins, basically digital collars, without doing that -- can dollars. the executive order's really clear. we department want to go down the path of cbdcs. edward: but a digital currency for a government could be competition for bitcoin. did that play into that decision? >> well, i mean, any government can create a stable coin. so i think the u.s. dollar is already the world's reserve currency. so i'm not really worried about competition there, i just want to extend -- or i believe we should be extending the dollar's dominance into digital areas, extend the it online. and i think that could actually create trillions of dollars of demand for u.s. treasuries. it could be really useful to us in basically supporting our debt and bringing down long-term
5:16 pm
interest rates. edward: david, in the last 30 seconds we have, you are also the artificial intelligence czar. the executive order was signed on that a making the u.s. the capital of artificial if intelligence. what does that mean going forward? >> well, like the president said at davos today, we want to be number one. we want to be the global capital in artificial intelligence as well as crypto. tease two areas that are vital for the future. they're both cutting edge technologies. the biden administration had passed this 100-plus-page e.o. of burdensome regulation that was unnecessarily cumbersome. the industry hated it, they were complaining about it. president trump promised to rescind that, he's done that now, and we're going to replace it with something much better. edward: we'll see what comes out of what you guys decide. david sacks, thank you. as the president described, the guy. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> i'm not going back to haiti. [bleep] trump. you feel me? yo, biden forever, bro. edward: he didn't seem too happy. that was trump's day one border

5:18 pm
>> that's right. we've been preparing for weeks and months our ability to move quickly. edward: that was california's attorney general saying that he's been preparing for month pes to stop trump's agenda. meanwhile, california's wildfires rage. more calls for an independent investigation into the blue state's mishandling of the fires. trump's plans to visit disaster-hit l.a. tomorrow. celebrity fitness expert jillian michaels is here to respond to the that next. ♪ >> how is it possible that you're not allowing this water? it's like a nuclear weapon went off, what's happened to los angeles. >> terrible. >> their fire departments aren't funded properly, and the firefighters who are brave as well -- as hell, they were fighting without water. ♪ progressive makes it easy to see if you can save money with a commercial auto quote online

5:24 pm
a nuclear weapon went off, what's happened to los angeles. >> terrible. >> their fire departments aren't funded properly, and the fire fighter worse brave as hell, they were fighting without water. it looked like our country was helpless. this fir was just raging -- fire was just raging. we looked so weak. edward: president donald trump will visit l.a. tomorrow after stopping in north carolina. this as more fires are breaking out in the l.a. area warning they could explode into something bigger. preliminary damage costs for the l.a. fires has already reached $385 million and rising, but get this, california's attorney general telling america snbc government funds will be used to sue the trump administration over policies they oppose. enter we've been preparing for weeks and months our ability to move quickly. we're looking closely at his other executive orders including trying to use military for civil immigration enforcement activities on american soil. we're looking at some of the other executive orders, how they
5:25 pm
impact our transgender communities. edward: let's welcome celebrity fitness expert who fled california in 2021, jillian michaels. is this the right time to be doing this? >> that's the issue with california. not only have they mismanaged the forests, misprioritized how to capture the water and where to utilize it, how to deal with the things hard causing the fires like -- that are causing the fires like homeless meth addicts and 100-year-old infrastructure that private utility companies have up on electric pole ifs outside -- poles outside, but they prioritize their budget with things like the clip you just put up there, $232 the million that has -- 22 million that has gone towards fighting homelessness and the problem has increased by 30%. and they use that money in some cases to buy addicts drug kits. it's everything from top to
5:26 pm
bottom in california is i want to say -- forgive me, ass backwards. [laughter] put simply. and it just is, i'm sorry, i couldn't help myself. edward: right. >> that is a perfect example of how the priorities here are i utterly inverted. edward: right. you can scratch your head sometimes. you talk about the management of the forests out there. do you think california's environmental policies and the parties are partly to blame? because with i've heard, you know, criticism that california state crews haven't cleared the underbrush in years, giving fuel to these fires. >> that's absolutely true. and, in fact, there was a bill that passed every legislative body in california called a.b. 2330 because there was a broad consensus for the absolute necessity to clean up the mountains and the forestland in california, and gavin new i many vetoed it -- gavin newsom vetoed it due to cost. so, yes, there's absolutely environmentalists that are
5:27 pm
applying pressure, but there's negligence and corruption across the board here. it's something that's been cone in california going all the way back to -- it's just, we all know that you need to burn at least a million acres through prescribed controlled burns to pit gate catastrophes like this one -- mitigate. and, of course, none of it has been done, none of it. ed and now they're dealing with the water issues and the manpower issues. jillian michaels, i appreciate it. sorry for the truncated time, but i appreciate it. thank you for talking with us and congratulations on getting out -- [laughter] in one piece. >> thank you so much. >> i'm not going back to haiti.

edward: so boston is one of the key sanctuary cities the trump administration put a circle around. fox news 'bill melugin is live in boston. you did some incredible reporting about the tart of these mass deportations. >> reporter: yeah. look, i.c.e. is really surgical when it comes to these operations. they build intelligence on their targets for, like, a week or two before they move on them learning where they are, what they're going to be doing, then they snatch them. it's usually over in less than a minute, and we got the witness that ourselves yesterday as we embedded exclusive by with i.c.e. here in boston. take a look. >> good morning, everyone. >> reporter: it's a frigid 5 degrees in the predawn hours just outside of boston where this team of elite i.c.e.
5:35 pm
officers is briefing on their targets for the day. >> we're going to be targeting some extremely violent offenders today. >> reporter: within moments, the officers have eyes on their first target. >> looks like we have movement, target coming out. >> reporter: they quickly take him into custody. he's an ms-13 gang member wanted in el salvador for aggravated murder, and he has an interpol red notice out for his arrest. >> we are targeting very violent threats to our community. >> i'm not going back to haiti. >> reporter: one of those threat is the this illegal alien from haiti. i.c.e. says he's a gang member with 17 criminal convictions in recent years. >> [bleep] trump. you feel me? yo, biden forever, bro. thank obama for everything tata he did for me, bro. >> reporter: i.c.e. boston quickly takes down its next targets including this illegal alien from brazil who has an interpol red notice for armed robbery. this salvadoran illegal alien was charged locally with rape
5:36 pm
and released by a sang i chao ware jurisdiction. -- sanctuary. and this dominican illegal alien charged with assault with a deadly weapon and heroin s guatemaland from local custody just the day before. their detainer request was ignored because of sanctuary policies. ing and in a sign of shifting priorities with the new trump administration, this man -- who was in the same apartment as the target -- was also arrested after i.c.e. determined he's also in the u.s. illegally. this is what i.c.e. calls collateral. so you guys cot your main target, but you got somebody else. what just happened in. >> our main target was leased by a sanctuary jurisdiction not honoring detainer. that person was released back into the community. and when we went to go find him, he was with somebody else who was previously removed from the united states. if so he's going to go today too. >> reporter: and that is exactly what a border czar tom
5:37 pm
homan has warned would happen. >> when we find the bad guy, he's probably with others, others that are in the united states illegally. they may not be a criminal priority, but we're not walking with away from them. >> reporter: i.c.e. boston says they will continue to go into sanctuary jurisdictions and do their job. >> today was a good day. today we took several significant public safety threats out of our communities. unfortunately, a lot were released by sanctuary policies, but we're here to tell the commonwealth and the rest of the country that we're going to find them whether they're released or not. >> reporter: and an interesting thing that happened during one of the arrests of a dominican illegal alien is a woman came out from the neighborhood and thanked the i.c.e. officers for making that arrest. one of the officers turned around and said, you're welcome. it just goes to show even in a sanctuary area like boston, there are people who appreciate what i.c.e. is doing up here. we'll send it back to you. edward: and you had the sound bite of the day, i think, biden forever.
5:38 pm
and he was a criminal saying biden forever. so thank you, bill melugin. incredible pentures there. pictures there. >> reporter: thanks. >> our practice here in denver is we do and will collaborate on violent criminals. if i.c.e. reaches out to us about someone we have many custody, we're going to to release them, we notify them, they can pick them up. edward: so-called sanctuary city denver mayor now says he will work with i.c.e. under certain circumstances. this as 46 democrats joined with republicans to the pass the laken riley act. joining us now is the house judiciary committee chairman, congressman jim jordan. so, congressman, you know, are you surprised, you know, at the change of heart in some of these cities? >> no. i think they've seen what the american people have seen. they saw the 77 million people who voted for president trump put republicans in charge of the senate, kept us in charge of the house, that this has got the change, this environment where you law 10 million people to come into the -- to come into the country, and they did it
5:39 pm
deliberately, intentionally on day one. remember, joe biden on day one said no more building the wall, no more remain in mexico while we evaluate your claim. and when you get here, you will be released, you will not be detained. who wouldn't come? now the american people said we don't want that, and even democrats and mayors and other places around and democrats here in congress are seeing what the american people know needs to hawaii so i think the -- i think that's a good thing. edward: do you think these pictures are being beamed now to south american countries where people might if i think, hey, i want to try the sneak into the united states, are these pictures themselves a deterrent? >> well, yeah. i think the whole -- everything that president trump, tom homan, everything they're doing is a deterrent. remember, the incentives were all the the other direction when joe biden did his executive orders on the first day. president trump did 11 executive orders over the last 72 hours relative to immigration can law and border security, so so that is sending the message, look, there's a new sheriff in town, and we're going to enforce the
5:40 pm
law. we're going to get rid of the bad guys. president trump is doing exactly what he told the voters he was going to do, and god bless him for doing it. he said he was going to to go after the bad guys first. that's what they're doing. there's 1.3 million migrants who have come here and have had their day in court, and the judge said you do not qualify under our asylum laws. those people need to go too. that's where they're starting the focus x that a sends a message. edward: i want the change subjects here. you were big into the investigation if of the biden family. he pardoned everyone except himself. do you think he should still be investigated for that a pay for play? >> i'm -- i think the facts are out.. -- out there. republicans don't go after someone, particularly in someone in joe biden's, i think, physical condition, frankly, is probably the right way to say that. we are going to look at some key issues, do a lookback on the david weiss investigation, some things that happened there, the special counsel, the jack smith investigation, some of the things they did there. we will definitely do that kind
5:41 pm
