3:03 am
a series of high profile meetings we are learning new details about who hope to work with him in a second term. some are familiar and friends of ours on this morning's show. overnight trump announcing pete hegseth the bestselling author, combat veteran and co-host of "fox & friends weekend" will lead the department of defense. trump writing: nobody fights harder for the troops and pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion peace through strength policy. former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe headed back to the government. pick for cia director. spoken out frequently about the threat china and iran pose. accused some in the intelligence community of political misinformation. trump writing ratcliffe has been a warrior for truth and honesty with the american public. when 51 intelligence officials were lying about hunter biden's laptop, there was one, ratcliffe telling the truth to the american people. this morning two of trump's high profile supporters billionaire businessman elon musk and vivek ramaswamy will lead the department of government
3:04 am
efficiency or doge. this is not something that currently exists but trump says it's going to be a way to shrink the size of government. trump writing overnight together these two wonderful americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures essential to the save america movement. what is a little different about this one. this is not a department that i said exists right now. we are waiting to see how congress may adapt to it. is this something that is going to have to be funded or more of an informal role. these are questions that will come out later on throughout the transition. waiting for a number of other key pre posts to be filled. alina habba may be tapped for that role but no official announcements at this point. should be a very busy day for the president-elect. steve, ainsley, brian and lawrence back to you. >> steve: mark, thank you for the report. you can turn around and watch the sun come up down there. >> brian: how beautiful is that?
3:05 am
>> steve: really pretty. yesterday, and i'm sure this happened in a lot of american homes yesterday, so i'm looking at twitter for a moment or x because i notice that peter doocy was trending on twitter. and it turns out because he is being suggested for press secretary. that's just so funny to me because it's like, come on. and then i saw this thing. pete hegseth has been named the nominee for press secretary -- rather, for secretary of defense. i thought well, is that real? and then it started to -- like a gusher. all this news that essentially caught washington totally off guard. pete hegseth. the guy on the couch is donald trump's selection to be the secretary of defense friends are pete. we have known him. he was the army national guard infantry. he served tours in iraq and afghanistan e was a guard at
3:06 am
gitmo. he had two prons stars, combat infantry badge. >> lawrence: used to run concerned veterans for america as ceo. of course 10 years here at the fox news channel. has a degree from princeton and harvard. so when you look at the former -- now the president-elect's thinking, pete just finished an entire book taking on the military. the wokeness in the military and what's been going on in the military. always been a friend of the former president. and he wants someone to go in there that's going to clean it up and focus on the mission, which to keep americans safe. not targeting the men and women from the inside but the people. >> brian: keep elon musk and vivek close. cutting making government more efficient. try the best they can. two the best in the country at doing it. i remember when mattis took over everyone is said he is used to fighting wars. how is he going to do it. what you do a great chief of staff and secretary of defense
3:07 am
that knows the ins and outs of it and what you have in pete a guy that goes -- instead of just going into the military he goes into the infantry like tom cotton. he knows iraq and afghanistan. the other thing he knows is israel. he has been there like seven or eight times to multiple specials there has a real passion for the region and understanding of the challenges in the west bank and gaza. not just on pro-israel. i understand the region. so i think it's a fascinating pick. and you don't realize how qualified he is until you really look at the resume. >> lawrence: yeah. >> brian: look at the resume. he tried the ivy league thing. he says i understand that school. i understand what it's like there i know what it's like in the midwest. i grew up there. i know what it's like to have a young family. i am dealing with a situation right now. i know what it's like to work on a ranch now. and then you come in with this military background. i think it's going to be fascinating pick and you are not going to be able to outwork him. >> lawrence: if you doubt his intelligence on a matter any time we have a foreign conflict. look at him at a map. he knows all the regions very
3:08 am
well. >> ainsley: and he is confident and doesn't care. is he like tom homan he does not care what anyone thinks. >> lawrence: know doesn't. >> steve: he is like a cousin to all of us, a great guy. they are expecting it will be a fight, a confirmation fight. there were some veterans groups that lined up against him last time in 2016 when he was suggested for va secretary. but, to your point, lawrence. the number one book that's going to be sold today at the barnes & noble over in crystal city by the pentagon is pete's book war on warriors where he certainly describes what needs to be dismantled at the pentagon because that's probably his blueprint. >> brian: series on fox nation. >> ainsley: how about elon and vivek. two very successful businessmen. elon, paypal, spacex, tesla, star link. >> steve: richest man in the world. >> ainsley: gave all those star links north carolina.
3:09 am
their task is to run doge. >> steve: like the crypts toe. >> ainsley: all actions of the department of government efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. basically like where your tax dollars are going and the pork. any time the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting wasteful, just let us know. we will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. this will be the extremely tragic and extremely entertaining. >> brian: i would add to this: everybody talks about we have $36 trillion in debt and we have -- we're over a trillion dollars on the budget that we draw up we are overdrawing by 700 billion to a trillion every year. grow our way out of it. it's going to be hard. cut programs. a lot of programs like the school lunch program and other programs that really people depend on. so you are going to cut social security. medicare? medicaid? then they talk about efficiency. if we could just become leaner
3:10 am
as an organization. how do you do that? take people two people known for doing that one ran on just making the government more efficient and the other one has done it with seven of the most important companies in the country from scratch. he will come in, he'll blow it up. if you don't like him, he is only working for a dollar, probably. so you could try to fire him. but if you want to cut programs, you don't want to cut spending, and you want to have growth, what you got to do is make the government more efficient. this is what has got to happen. >> lawrence: one of their goals right now, according to some of them, what i'm hearing from some of the sources is to put everything digitally. so, for example, you want to know what is happening at the department of energy. you wants to know the dollar amount down to the cent. that you will be able to figure out where every single penny is going from the government. ohio did the same thing under josh mandel when he was over the treasury. they are trying to do the same thing for the country as well. so, with more eyes on where the money is going, they are hoping
3:11 am
it will be easier to cut those programs. >> steve: and, you know, the whole idea of efficiency is great to run on. it's a little complicated to implement because some have tried. but, you know, elon musk is such a brilliant guy. you know, with all of his things and with vivek working with him, the only worry that people have is the way that -- their appointment was announced and keep in i understand moo, they are not -- they do not have to go through a confirmation hearing. is trump said the new department will be advising from the outside of the government, so that suggests that they won't really have any power to make the cuts but they will be able to advise the white house. and here's the thing. and this is why it's always so effective out on the campaign trail. taxes are just a fact of life. we have to pay taxes to the federal government we hate it when washington wastes the money. essentially what they will do have a big spotlight and look at
3:12 am
all the money we are wasting right there. can we do something about that? if we take money from there, then we can either save the money or spend the money on something else we need. >> ainsley: vivek has been a staunch supporter of donald trump. he also went to harvard and yale. he is good friends with j.d. vance. mike huckabee is going to be the ambassador to israel and john ratcliffe the former director of national intelligence and he was a congressman from texas. and he has been nominated as cia head. he was the one who exposed the russia collusion. he was the one who exposed the fbi's fisa court abuse. and hunter laptop. >> lawrence: go ahead, brian. >> brian: i would just say this. ratcliffe, a lot of people thought a.g. he was going to have a valuable spot. i think he has been playing a pretty good role with howard lutnick because he knows government and lutnick knows people and systems and do an evaluation. they were talking about how lutnick would say the five people that he would give for every position minimum.
3:13 am
you touch their picture, and resume and what he thought their interview was like. ratcliffe was going to pretty much have the key spot. and he could have done director of national intelligence. but a sense did i that already. >> lawrence: so i have been working the phones this morning and last night. trying to get -- because he was on the short list as you noted for attorney general. the cia is a real mess when it comes to the leadership there he didn't want to go to national intelligence, which oversees the cia. so he settled here. the other anytime that i'm hearing this morning as well is the next batch of nominations is going to be attorney general and fbi director. i'm hearing kash patel. this has not been confirmed. the president has not made a final decision on that. but he wants to clean house
3:14 am
there he want to clean house there next. what's going on with rubio? is there something sphblong i go is he still on snack they said absolutely on track. it just hasn't been named yet. and there is a thought. >> lawrence: in waves. >> brian: maybe there are some people within the trump team that don't want him. >> ainsley: fetterman said he would be great pick. >> brian: ainsley, he couldn't be a better pick. >> steve: exactly. it is curious he hasn't named him yet. the big thing then if rubio becomes secretary of state, ron desantis would have to essentially appoint somebody to fill his seat. i was talking to a smart person in florida politics yesterday and conventional wisdom and we were talking about this yesterday on the couch, is that ron desantis would appoint a republican congressman from florida, byron donalds, bryan mast or something like that. the problem is the house majority is so narrow they really don't have anywhere to
3:15 am
go. and so they got to look elsewhere. there is a possibility, i am told by a really smart person down in florida that ron desantis either appoints himself or his wife to the job and if he appoints himself, his wife could run for governor down there. because he has been very effective. >> ainsley: has it been expressed that she wants to be. >> steve: very effective conservative governor. they love him. this is just speculation. it's one of those things that he actually could do. the first boxcar that's got to move is marco rubio has got to be named and confirmed. >> ainsley: has his wife expressed interest in politics? >> steve: i don't know. she is very good at it. >> brian: the talent is overwhelming. she is fantastic. >> steve: they are fantastic family and beloved down in florida. >> brian: he is in italy right now. he will be coming back soon. talk about what is going to happen today at 11:00. >> lawrence: looks like finally donald trump, the president-elect is going to have his first meeting with joe biden, the current president of the united states and now they
3:16 am
haven't seen each other ever since biden ended political career with that terrible debate performance. >> steve: this is going to be really awkward. last time they met joe said convicted felon the alley cat we saw that trump called joe a manchur written candidate gets paid by china. after really confusing answer that joe biden gave which we you a saw and ended political career. joe didn't have any idea what he said. it's going to be an awkward meeting ultimately joe biden is going to want to protect his legacy. is he going to say hey, please, mr. trump, do this, do that. but donald trump has already got a road map. he knows exactly what he wants to do as soon as joe leaves town. >> ainsley: it's being reported by the "new york post" that melania denied the invitation to meet with joe biden. we talked about they go into detail why the raid at mar-a-lago and according to this source that talked to the "new
3:17 am
york post" says, quote: she ain't meeting with joe biden because biden was the one -- her husband was the one who authorized the fbi to snoop through her underwear drawer. remember, they ravaged through her closet. >> lawrence: no reason to do it. >> ainsley: that's just an invasion of privates. >> brian: i agree. you know because you spent all that time studying the book and did a great interview with her still online. i would add this. very interesting to see if j.d. vance and kamala harris meet. there was -- pence watt brought through by joe biden. number two is i hope they just say guys, when they sit down and that door closes, let's knock it off. let's just say from here on, in let's just no zones for each other like bush 41 and clinton. bush 43 and clinton until his wife started running, you never heard anything negative. and obama's criticism of bush was behind the scenes that gates would bring up and say you know i was secretary of defense for him, too.
3:18 am
at least behind the scenes and come out in a book. they would do the country a lot of good if they just said let's not insult each other. >> ainsley: didn't biden call him when he won. >> brian: and when he got shot in the ear. >> steve: brian, to your point, when donald trump sat down in the oval office, he had been invited by barack obama we all remember donald trump coming out and saying this is supposed to be a so or 15 minute meeting and went for an hour and a half. it was really great. i picked his brain. and we had a really nice time. i would look for donald trump and joe biden to take the high road and have that kind of a classy meeting. >> brian: from here on in. >> lawrence: it looks like if you look at the former president's he has been focusing strictly on his cabinet. there has not been any response to some of the stuff going on in the mainstream media. >> brian: we talked about this, four governors who said some things about president trump. for the first time ever, president trump hasn't even engaged it. by, what the next day after
3:19 am
hochul ripped him they talked on the phone. so i think that the president president-elect like four years. he can't afford to get into fights. steve former president is on the move right now. we will bring you pictures as he makes his travels to the white house in a wit. bit. another big story. >> ainsley: we should have a new senate majority leader in few hours and these g.o.p. candidates are vying for that top spot in the chamber. >> lawrence: bob casey is still refusing to concede to the seat he lost to dave mccormick. >> steve: rich edson has the latest from the capitol and busy day in d.c. rich? >> rich: yeah a lot of busy days coming up. republicans are meeting at 9:30 to select the next senate majority leader who will play a major role in getting the trump agenda through congress. republican senators will meet in private in the old senate chambers for their leadership
3:20 am
elections. florida senator rick scott, john thune and texas' john cornyn running for the top spot. thune and cornyn pitching fellow senators in private. scott is leading a campaign for the position. many in the president-elect's inner circle are backing him. so are senators mike lee, marsha blackburn, ron johnson, bill hagerty. rand paul and marco rubio trump's expected pick for secretary of state. senator josh hawley has endorsed cornyn, the dakotas are sticking together, senator mike rounds and kramer and hoeven will backing thune is oklahoma markwayne mullen. 276 the 57 eligible votes. among them senator elect dave mccormick from pennsylvania even though his opponent refuses to concede. senator bob casey says quote across our commonwealth close to 7 million people cast their votes in a free and fair election. >> our county election officials will finish county those votes like they do in every election. the american democratic process
3:21 am
was born in pennsylvania and that process will play out. republicans have told the senate they are only two seats away from retaining the house. they secured 216 seats to democrats 207. there are only a dozen races outstanding. democrats would need to win nearly all of them it take the house. back to you. >> brian: yeah. it's interesting. thanks so much, rich. it's interesting casey won't concede. >> lawrence: what's his end game. >> brian: he wants a recount. >> steve: it might be trigger wanted. >> ainsley: that's so wrong. he lost anyway, so, but, mccormick does get to go orientation. he does get to vote, j.d. vance gets to vote. if you are retiring senator, you don't get to vote. john thune is the pick, probably for the democrats and the more moderates. rick scott is the pick probably for the mags. maga magas.the third one gets t. the third one drops out the magic number is 27.
3:22 am
>> brian: everyone was focused on mccormick and tim sheehy great win and bernie moreno. look out for governor jim justice. >> steve: is he great. >> brian: can't bring his dog. >> steve: got that bad news. >> brian: i don't know if everyone is familiar with the governor of west virginia. this guy is dynamic. he is bill parcels in a business suit. >> ainsley: personality. >> brian: he is going to be challenging and smart. >> ainsley: we should have him on. we had him on like a year ago. >> steve: we have had him on a couple times. >> brian: ainsley, go ahead if you would call him. he doesn't mind getting up. he has his own plane. >> lawrence: we don't have restrictions,. >> brian: you love dogs. you will train that dog a tack even if it's a bulldog and a little iconic. >> steve: we don't want the attack dog. >> brian: that's all he knows though. >> ainsley: unless they are breaking into your house. >> brian: you don't see a lot of bulldogs out on location. >> st >> lawrence: i never told the audience nala can attack you just told the world. kind of implied look at her and
3:23 am
tell you about i never told that. >> ainsley: military dog. kind of assumed that. >> brian: don't worry about it. committing a crime or attacking lawrence, look at this. >> steve: 22 minutes into the show and we have already talked about dogs and doge. meanwhile, let's move on to. this a developing story. the fbi, get this, the federal bureau of investigation reportedly investigating two break-ins at the homes of kansas city chiefs stars patrick mahomes and travis kelce last month. >> ainsley: they need nalas. they need those dogs. >> brian: i'm sure there are cameras we know those guys were busy playing tackle football. >> todd: with a thing two dogs to potential goat. tmz reporting burglars broke into mahomes andlesy's mansions near kansas city. one of them happened before the monday night football win against new orleans last month. thieves reportedly stealing $20,000 from kelce's home just

3:32 am
good afternoon to you, bret. >> bret: good afternoon. first, let me say pete congrats to pete hegseth from this show. if i known all these years i was being interviewed the secretary of defense i might have buttoned up. it speaks to the credibility of your show and staff and trusted news you guys bring americans every single day who really trust you and so much of your own was trusted to run our nation. very much deserved. >> steve: if pete was here he would say thank you very much. let's start at the beginning, there is conventional wisdom on the political left, the ukrainians hate donald trump. you were just there. you're there all the time. tell us the truth. >> it's just not true what they're saying. frankly worse on the ground. worse i have ever seen it there. but wanting the war to end soon does not mean not supporting ukraine. people don't seem to remember that trump provided lethal aid to ukraine during first term. he didn't appease russia during
3:33 am
the first term simply stating he wants the war to be over. a lot of people want the war to be over. >> steve: absolutely. >> ukrainians resilient. they will fight for every last woman and child. we shouldn't have to make them do that we we would a lot of power as the american government. they want peace and war to end. one of the p i have to watch liberal media coverage of the region running near nonstop lies about ukrainians supposedly feel about trump and pushing this fake agenda here in europe the last couple days how bad supposedly ukrainians think it is he was elected. that's not true. i have had a lot of conversations with senior government officials who nearly every single one of them say the same thing. there is overwhelming and resounding excitement that trump won the presidency and how much is he going to help ukraine. they see trump as the answer to ending this war and bringing back peace to that country. >> steve: so let's talk a little bit about the state of the war right now. in the last couple of days, it sound like and the reason we always talk to you because you
3:34 am
are the smartest guy we know about drones. it has become a drone war over there. and it is particularly deadly. and, in fact, the residential building right next to you got blown up, what, yesterday, the day before yesterday? >> yeah. within the last week when i was in there. this is a very brutal and horrific war. too many people are dying. i have seen it firsthand. i know trump is going to honor his promise to restore america's strength on the world stage. one way to do that is ending this war and helping stop a lot of these drone strikes taking place. we need a quick and dramatic swift from biden administration ukraine policies. it is not working and hasn't been working for a while. we need a hard reset. i have seen the policies in with my own eyes. when i was in ukraine this last week rounds of kamikaze drones striking all over that estimate one of the apartment buildings that was right next to mine took iranian drone into it and completely destroyed it. we -- this is not sustainable. we have only given ukrainians just barely enough weapons to
3:35 am
defend but not fully deter russia. that is not s. not a cohesive strategy and not. people are exhaustive. people have ukraine fatigue we want this war to end. we got to do something quickly to stop it. >> steve: turn to donald trump in the oval office you got to keep doing what i was doing in ukraine is that a good idea? >> terrible idea. wanting the war toned does not mean not supporting ukraine. he may be inclined to lift some of the restrictions on long range weapons uses and allowing strikes potential fly russian territory. we need more security guarantees, we should not be following anything the biden administration has been doing because it is failing miserably on the ground. >> steve: well, you are on the ground there. bret, thank you very much for joining us live from somewhere in europe. >> thank you. >> steve: you bet. all right. meanwhile, we were talking about this. trumpens transition taking shape. we are going to show you who is who in the key staff positions straight ahead.oo
