larry: well, as katie pavlich said on the panama canal business, the treaty says no foreign interference, and if this is foreign interference, then the parties can take action a uniharmly. think about that -- unilaterally. liz macdonald's going to to take some action -- elizabeth: larry, thank you so much. just a quick point on that, i've been talking to d.c. sources. there is concern that china's military is at those two bookended seaports outside the panama if canal spying and doing

surveillance so, larry, we're going to stay on this story. thank you so much. we've got a lot of news coming in. welcome to "the evening edit." i'm elizabeth mac macdonald. >> it'll be a tremendous amount of money for our country, these are big numbers. and you see the power of the tariff. nobody can compete with us because we have by far the biggest piggybank. and so that'll take place very quickly. elizabeth: okay. president trump just moments ago with the breaking news, 25% tariffs will take effect at midnight tonight on mexico and canada and 10% on china for not stopping the border crisis. we've got the details this just a moment. plus, more breaking news, government and senate records show president trump is right. yes, the faa was hurt or and damaged by dei and, yes, it did start under barack obama. we take on the media a misinformation about this. former nfl tar jack brewer is here in moments to react.

plus, the weakest democrat attack on trump today, i trying the blame the president for the d.c. air crash. pilots have already been warning about a hundreds of near misses for years. the new york post's miranda devine is here to the break that down. also we've got this story for you -- >> want to give you an update on the taj that happened last night here in washington d.c. first and foremost, we want to pass our condolences to the 64 souls and their families that were affected by this. something like this can never happen, and it's completely unacceptable. elizabeth: have you ever seen anything like this? pentagon chief pete hegseth getting information out as fast as they can. did we see as rapid and full a response from the biden white house and his pentagon chief, lloyd austin in coming up, the debate on rump's new era of transparency, what this new 180 from the biden era means for you. also this story -- >> what we're watching right now

is one migrant just crawled through the border wall. elizabeth: okay. we're going to take you behind the scenes for an exclusive look with brooke taye -- taylor on president trump shutting the border. and we'll get you an update on truly violent criminals getting kicked out. plus, it is getting worse for california governor gavin newsom. lawmakers in california just blocked a vote on newsom getting $50 million more in spending to attack trump. actor and former california resident antonio sabato jr.'s here tonight on that. he says focus on the fires. first, we've got this story. president trump's aggressive tariffs on canada, mexico, china, that they're going to begin at midnight. white house press secretary saying these are promises made, promises kept. edward lawrence is live at the white house with the breaking details. what's happening now? [laughter] >> reporter: liz, we call this friday here at the white house, extremely busy. there's nothing now mexico, china or canada can do to avoid

these tariffs at 12:01 a.m. 10% tariff on chinese goods, 25% on canada can and mexico. >> china makes the fentanyl, gets it to mexico, puts it through different plaits,s also a -- places, also a lot through canada. all three haven't treated us very well. >> reporter: the president add as oil might be an additional 10% tariff, down from 25% because it's energy, and the canadian prime minister saying he he will respond in forceful, immediate way. >> we're showing the new american administration that they have a strong partner in canada when it comes the upholding border security all while simultaneous ifly underscoring that we won't back down. that that if tariffs are implemented against canada, we will respond. we won't relent until tariffs are removed and, of course, everything is on the table. >> reporter: so i wanted to know about trade tensions. listen to this. are we seeing the start of a

trade war with canada? >> i don't think so. i think the president is going to implement those tariffs tomorrow, and he will respond to mr. trudeau's comments in due time, i am sure. >> reporter: what type of things have to happen, what does the administration need to see in order to avoid those tariffs? >> well, the tariffs are incoming tomorrow on canada. >> reporter: canada, mexico and china. the president says he will add them on oil and natural gas, all of that on february 18th, and steel, aluminum, copper sometime soon. the president sees tariffs as a way to move industry back to the united states. he says you put up that tariff wall with, and companies will then the make their products here in the united states. looks like he's going to spread that around to multiple sectors and multiple industries. liz in. elizabeth: we thought you were going to have a nice, easy friday, you've been hard at it. [laughter] great reporting, as always. now watch this. >> if you talk to people in this industry, they'll tell you that. in fact, many of them filed a lawsuit existence the faa --

against the faa a couple of years ago you should joe biden's administration because they were denied positions because of this dei hiring practice that was putting identity politics over merit and skills. that's unacceptable. when you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones, which every one of us in this room has, do you pray that your plane lands safely and gets you to your destination, or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? i think we all know the answer to that question, and as president trump said yesterday, it's common sense. elizabeth: that was white house press secretary caroline lev9 visit again giving the -- karoline leavitt giving common sense. pilots have been warning for two years about 300 near misses between airplanes and near crashes. now democrats and the media are trying the blame president trump. joining us now, the chairman of the jack brewer foundation, former nfl star jack brewer. we love talking to you, you're a mart guy. what do you make of this?

if -- smart if guy. the faa has a shortage of 10,000 air a traffic controllers. eleven state the attorneys general warned last year dei was distracting the faa's focus on air a travel safety. >> of course it was. we've heard president trump talk about this through the entire campaign. you've heard ceos from across america hard now back pedal aing are from their dei policies. the faa is no different. obviously, they've already admitted to not having enough staff, and that's probably because they haven't hired the qualified that staff. and so we have to go right directly at this. i know people say it's a sensitive topic, but we have to fix these issues in our nation. we have too much identity politics. we have too much focus on skin color, on gender and on race in these major agencies. and president trump has made a hard push and put a line in the sand has been drawn, and i think it's time for us to have some real answers from these

agencies. elizabeth: you know, jack, here's some answers. sena records, we did a deep dive, government documents back up that trump is right that the faa under barack obama dangerously and dramatically dumbed down its hiring standards 202013. starting way back in and that ended up screening out and rejecting nearly 26,000 qualified commercial pilots and to be traffic controllers justns in 2014 alone. senator patty murray warningcrat obama's faa chief about this over ten years ago. watch. >> just a few months ago the faa made some very dramatic changes to the way they're hiring our air a traffic controllers. and among those changes the faa of graduates from its collegiate training initiative. one cti graduate from washington state graduated with high honors, passed an faa a test for initial qualification,as almost five years of service in

the air force and a commercial pilos certificate with an instrumental rating. that young man took this biographical questionnairend iled it r reasons that are very unclear, and he's not the only one if this situation. so i want you to explain to us how the fas improved thi process, if this kind of d many others are failing this initial screening. elizabeth: democrat senator patty murray sayg this. let mereak this down, jack, sit tight. listen. >> okay. elizabeth: oba's faa a rejected nearly 26,000 air a afficontrolls, why? if because they a fail obama's ne quote, biographical assessment questionnaire, an early form of dei 2013 -- in to 201that asked remarkably idiotic questions like what spor did you play in high school, where did you rst earn your money? yet the media is slamming trump for bringing this . we're talking about air safety. final word. >> they're putting lipstick on a pig. this started yrs and years

ago. we've all a seen it. listen, i played ithe national football league, and that means not for long, you had to make plays to stay. anour government agencies need to to get ck to that. i think the american people are smarter hand this when ty see these airplane as in the sky and put their families in the airways, they want them safe of. i ink an duffy is not going to take this nonsense any longer, and i think, i think this will be the pinnacle point to finally have some change particularly across the board in our agencies. elizabeth: yeah. enough already. stop with the distracting dei. just do your day jobs that we pay you for. jack brewer, thank you so much. let's get to this -- >> god bless you. >> trump can blame anyone and everything that he wants, right? but the reality is this horror happened on his watch and with his policies and his people in place. in fact, on his second day in office president trump issued an executive order that called for

an immediate end to dei programs at the federal aviation administration, and he did that despite the fact that the faa has had a shortage of air traffic controllers for years. >> the faa has been in chaos, in crisis since he took over. elon musk, his co-president, forced out the faa administrator. so for the last week, we have been leaderless at the faa. trump fired, upon taking office, the entire faa a safety advisory board. he spent the last week trying to push federal employees out the door including people at the faa a, trying to bully them into accepting offers to resign. and so we got reports that the control tower was not normal on the night of the crash. well, that that stands to reason, because the faa a has been in meltdown since trump took over. elizabeth: we dug into this. everything they just said was off the a wall and wrong. that was msnbc's joy reid trying to blame president trump for the

d.c. air crash. he's only been in office two weeks. he's not pushing people out of the faa a, he's trying to stop dei. that was democrat senator chris murphy trying to blame people like elon musk. musk had nothing to do with pushing out the faa a director, plus he has no authority to do that. let's welcome fox news contributor miranda devine. what's with all these falsehoodsesome that aviation advisory committee makes recommendations to the tsa that, not faa a like chris murphy was trying to say. >> that was just the most depick, catalog of lies -- despicable catalog of lies from chris murphy. he knows perfectly well that donald trump had been in office for nine days, that elon musk doesn't force anyone if out, that the faa director add resigned on inauguration day and that his deputy took over seamlessly who with donald trump has just named as the leader

now. so all of that is untrue. dei policies don't just have an impact overnight. the has been a decade of decay and disaster in every aspect of our government and, in fact, probably every part of the country. and in the most critical places whether it be in the military or in the faa, the problem now is manifested in this crash many in these severe safety risks. elizabeth: so final question. you know, pilots had been warning for at least two years 300 near misses, 300 near crashes in the nation's airways and on the tarmac. obama put in place this biographical questionnaire back in 2013 that screened out 26 u.s. navy veterans, u.s. air force veterans, commercial pilots who could have been air traffic controllers. why? because they didn't feel like, i

guess, answering questions on what high school did i go to or where did i earn my money in my first job? really nonsensical dei push that a started under obama in 2013. the records show trump is right about this. so when you look at this, people should say who is running the faa, and trump clean it out like reagan did back in the early '80s? >> well, that problem was accelerated under joe biden and pete buttigieg, of course. and, you know, the pipeline then had a whole load of candidates in it that probably weren't the best. and that's the tragedy, because there are people who are good, and they've been damaged. you know, my heart goes out to the air a traffic controller who was involved in this crash. he was under enormous stress and having to carry both helicopter and airplane traffic which is unusual. and they're always a understaffed by, you know, as much as a 75%, all air traffic

control -- elizabeth: they don't need dei distract thing them at all and pressuring them. biran a da divine, you're terrific. read miranda the's column, she's a great writer. come back soon. >> thank you, you too. elizabeth: listen to this. >> what happened yesterday shouldn't have happened. it should not have happened. elizabeth: that was trump's new transportation secretary, sean duffy, also getting out in front on this d.c. tragedy, keeping americans informed. critics comparing that to hard hat pete buttigieg who was often awol like in east palestine, ohio. coming up, we'll debate what trump and his new cabinet's age of transparency, what that means for you as democrats in the media racing the to -- to try to keep up. also this story. >> we just had three come through a breach right here. you can see their buddies on the south side. we're able to the talk these two atv units in there to make the apprehension. elizabeth: that was an

exclusive, behind the scenes look at president trump's border shutdown. coming up, we're winning. to get the full story -- going to get the full story from brooke taylor on the ground. drug traffickers, violent criminals and more rounded up, they're about to be tossed #u -- out. plus, this story, far-left california governor gavin newsom, he's plummeting in the polls. he just got blocked with the vote, a temporary block on his demand for $50 million in new spending from californians to attack president trump. actor and former california resident antonio sabato jr. says position on the wildfires instead. but first, this story -- >> president trump's re-election is a clear mandate from the american people to break this cycle of failure and the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community, and i will have you reminded that i have been endorsed by over 30 300,000 law enforcement officers to become the next director of the fbi. >> by the way, bernie, you know,

congressman, it's a new day in just ten days. you know, america was abused. they were made to feel like this was normal. we're hearing more and more child predators, attempted murderers, murderers as well, violent criminals, ms-13, tren de aragua, rapists on the streets of america. we were told to just deal with it, that this is compassionate, humanitarian when the border has been turned into a massive drug, sex and trafficking criminal enterprise. >> i couldn't agree with you more, liz. in the last four years, 4 million -- 14 million people have just treated our country like a motel except we're picking up the tab and providing the room service. these child molesters and rapists, if we send them home, we're going -- we ought to send them home in a box. over 300,000 children, as owe -- you know, have disappeared on our southern border.

no one knows what happened to them. i think retribution will be coming quickly -- elizabeth: you know, where is democrat senator brent warren and aoc crying at the border when they have lost track of more than 323,000 migrant children this in we understand there's, you know, confusion about what that means. but the bottom line is what you just said, it is true. and now we've got fbi agents out of all 55 field offices reportedly in on the deportation raids. so this is a sea change in just ten days. this is what america deserved, safety. show the revenue, the drug and sex trafficking cartels have been making. it's a big business. we're looking into it, congressman. the money they're pulling in is on the level of an uber or a netflix or a star bucks every year. >> yes, ma'am. and better yet, what's the -- where's the national media that runs fox news down regularly on their coverage of this? they sure would show the poor, downtrodden folks coming over border, but they would refuse to

show the laken riley families that just happened -- things like that just happen time and time again, the abuse that americans took. and these child molesters and abusers, they -- we need to send them on a short trip to hell, liz, and we need to arraigning it as soon as possible. elizabeth: yeah. and i'll tell you what's uniquely obnoxious is people saying, oh, xenophobia, or, oh, america doesn't like legal migration. america was built on legal migration. people who come here legally, support that. they do not like illegal immigration. they say it's unfair and wrong. congressman burchett, come back soon, please. now to this story. a dramatic new outcry cry from new york city residents who don't feel safe. the government is again putting shelters in the poorest neighborhoods. let's go to eric shawn with the story. >> reporter: hello, liz. well, they do not want them. residents in the bronx outraged over a massive migrant shelter that is set to open in their

neighborhood. >> [inaudible] [applause] [inaudible conversations] >> reporter: that was the angry scene at the raw cause community meeting in new york city's borough of the bronx after people were told that the city is converting a huge former warehouse into a center to hou more than 2,000 migrant men. well, the city says 90 of the migrants who live in this building are asylum seekers, and they'll have a 30-day limit. but, you know, locals fear they won't be protected after there's been a pate of shootings and robberies near other migrant shelters in other parts of the city. judy kudlow runs an art school right across the street from this site. >> i have never been afraid in the south bronx. i am now terrified. i'm terrified for me, for my students. i will have to move. >> you invited these people. this is a sanctuary city.

[applause] and and you invited them. >> reporter: that's a sense of the anger there. number of migrants arriving in new york has slowed, so the city is now closing 13 shelters and will move some of men from those facilities to that one in the bronx. even though the city said the migrants are screened, officials like bronx congressmen say so many men in one place, well, it's just too dangerous. >> the encampment on randall's island descended into a hotbed of gang activity. so instead of reducing gang violence in the bronx, the city is relocating gang violence to the bronx. which is the opposite of public safety. >> reporter: new york city mayor eric add a also and his administration says that shelter was going in whether the residents like it or not, and it is set to open there next month. liz? elizabeth: that was great report, eric shawn. thanks for bringing us that story. by the way, that was larry

was made. >> what happened yesterday shouldn't have happened. it should not have happened. and so we will not accept excuses, we will not accept passing the buck. elizabeth: the new age of transparency. we're going to debate how the media is taken aback by this, they're trying to complain about it. this is the new age of transparency under president trump. what because this mean for you? also a coming up, far-left governor california gavin newsom, he's roadblocked by his own state legislate legislators. right now, he can not get his hands on $50 million more the atrack president trump. antonio sabato jr.'s here to react, he's saying, attack the california wildfires. but first, let's see what's cooking next hour on "the bottom line." jason: we've got a great show coming up at top of the hour, kicking it off with tom fill inwillson -- phillipson.

>> on behalf of the first lady, myself and 340 million americans, our hearts are shattered alongside yours, and our prayers are with you now and in the days to come, we'll be working very, very diligently. >> when you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones, which every one of us in this room has, do you pray that your plane lands safely, or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? i think we all know the answer to that question, and as president trump said yesterday, it's common sense. >> we are actively working to investigate and understand what occurred and why. >> what happened yesterday shouldn't have happened. it should not have happened. and so we will not accept excuses, we will not accept passing the buck. we are going to take responsibility. if. elizabeth: that is the trump administration, a new era of assistance parent city, more rapidly talking to the american

people, talking to the press versus the biden administration and joe biden literally walking a away from the press, literally attacking and bullying reporters, cutting off access if they didn't like the media's stories. joining us now, fox news contributor liz peek. well, liz, in just ten days -- by the way, liz is a great writer. how many times would you hear joe biden call a lid on the day, there was nothing on his schedule in he started work at 10, stopped at 4 and yelled at the media. the media looks shell shocked over this new era of transparency. what do you make of it? >> oh, i think it's a sea change, obviously, liz. there was so much that joe biden was not allowed to tell us, apparently, and he always used to say that, remember? if oh, i'm going to get into trouble if i answer this question. from who? how is that? you're the president of the united states. it was the most outrageous, non-visible president ever. and, yes, lack of transparency. remember, liz, we didn't even know who was calling on joe

biden, who he was meeting with when he was at his beach house or when he was out of the office. that was off the a -- you know, apparently too much for us to handle. if i mean, it was so ridiculous. there was never any commentary about the drones. well, you know, in two days or three days in the office, all of a sudden we've gotten an answer about the drones. it was bizarre. and i think you have to sort of assume it was because there was a lot of bad stuff going on. and i think that's really the big change. elizabeth: yeah, it's a big change. liz, you make good points there. mark andreessen says trump's first week in office totally reset my conception of what's possible for the government to do. glenn reynolds said this is unprecedented swift alaska. it has re-- action. it has reset the national mood for america. and listen to sean davis, cofounder and chief executive of the federalist. he tweeted trump has done more to save this country in the last week than every elected republican before him combined

did over the last 30 years and at a far greater personal cost to himself and his family. what do you make of what you just heard. >> oh, i think it's totally true. i mean, i think americans are so depressed to think that we can't get things done in our country, that the whole kind of gray, soupy red tape and all the entanglements of permitting and legal problems and everything else, there is this sense of weight which i really feel we have been liberated from. i think now you can say what you think, and you can get things done, liz. it is a sea change, and it's so, so welcome. elizabeth: and moving to depoliticize the government, get the government to stop focusing on just 'em do accurate politics and do their jay -- democrat politics and do their day jobs. >> exactly right. get stuff done for the american people not just for your party, not just for yourself. that's what we're looking for, that's what we're going to get.
