[laughter] >> brian: why would it be awkward? and some big new names added to trump's cabinet and you might recognize one from this very couch. >> steve: actually, i think all of them have been on the couch. [laughter] >> ainsley: that's true. >> brian: that's a good point. >> steve: hour two of an amazing "fox & friends" starts right now. >> ainsley: we start with a fox news alert. we are awaiting president-elect donald trump to depart mar-a-lago and head up to washington, d.c. for his first meeting with president biden since trump's historic elections win. >> lawrence: meanwhile trump's incoming cabinet taking shape by the day as he appoints some more familiar faces.

>> brian: man, what a pace he is setting. on capitol hill senate republican also hold a vote on the upper chamber's new leadership. they really don't know who is going to win between senator scott, thune and cornyn. all competing for the job and it's a secret ballot. >> steve: so much to talk about. as you can see the president's motorcade is on the way toward pbi. he is traveling through west palm beach right there. and he should be there on trump force 1 probably within five minutes. >> brian: i would have to wonder if you are visualizing success this moment for president trump. look, he is not gloating. he hasn't gloated for one minute. >> ainsley: that's true. >> brian: from the day he left, saying i'll be back. >> ainsley: right. >> brian: this is the moment as he leaves mar-a-lago to go check out the white house to fully take the job. >> ainsley: all of that hard work. >> lawrence: i'm so glad that the former president has the military assets now protecting him right now. remember, the two assassination attempt, the lawfare against him, all for this moment for

landslide victory. popular vote, electoral college, what a mandate. >> brian: do you think he is getting the security briefings yet, the top level? because i know he wasn't as a candidate. he didn't want to make a big deal of it. >> ainsley: we can find out. i would hope so. >> steve: i don't know that he is getting the presidential daily brief yet. that's one of the things he could ask for when he sees joe biden. a lot going on. trump is on the move. and so is our team. rich edson is live at the white house. but we begin with mark meredith in west palm beach on today's trump-biden meeting. and the trump transition. actually, mark, the transition is kind of happening right now. >> steve, it's happening in real time. good morning to you and good morning, friends. at this very moment, the president-elect is making his way to palm beach international, he has a two hour flight up to d.c. for a series of meetings. both with congressional republicans and president biden. overnight though, he also announced a slew of new nominees who he hopes will serve alongside him come january. perhaps the biggest name that came out is army veteran, as well as best-selling author and

"fox & friends weekend" co-host pete hegseth who trump says would like to lead the department of defense. trump writing: nobody fights harder for the troops and pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion for our peace through strength policy. now, a number of senators told our capitol hill team last night that they were truly surprised by this pick. and wanted to learn more about pete's background before announcing their support. former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe is trump's pick for cia director. he also previously served in congress, speaking out frequently about the threats china and iran posed. he also says that ratcliffe can combat misinformation. trump writing: ratcliffe has always been a warrer with for truth and honesty with the public. when 51 intelligence officials were lying about hunter biden's laptop, there was one, john ratcliffe telling the truth to the american people. this morning, two of trump's also most high profile surrogates in the last stretch of the campaign, billionaire businessman and x owner elon musk and vivek ramaswamy, the presidential candidate biotech egg engiengineer lead departmenf

government efficiency. doge. something new. way to shrink the size of government. trump writing these two wonderful americans will pave the way to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash regulations and cut wasteful and cut essential to the save america movement. we know who trump counts on to try cut through red tape. how will that work. that's one of the big questions. congress will likely have a say before any of these federal agencies are even shrunk or changed. learning more who trump is hoping to serve for him overseas, mike huckabee, somebody who has certainly played a role until presidential politics the last 15 years or so the trump nominee to be u.s. ambassador to israel. however, we have learned his daughter, sarah huckabee sanders, the governor of arkansas, she plans to stay in arkansas and not return to washington. friends, back to you. >> steve: so much going on. thank you so much. mark meredith on the roof there

in west palm beach. speaking of west palm beach, the president has just boarded trump force 1. going to make the short trip less than about two hours this time of day up to washington, d.c. he is going to land at joint base andrews and motorcade over to -- he has a couple of different stops. not going to tell you where exactly. but he has a busy day. >> ainsley: what will that conversation be like when he sees joe biden for the first time? they shake hands i assume in the oval office? >> steve: at least the photo op. part will lawrence lawrence how do shake hands with hitler after you compared him. i hope there is a clean slate. forgiveness and move on for the great. >> ainsley: greater good of america. >> brian: i heard how great the meeting was with obama and trump first time around, right? that's when president obama said, you know, you got staff this whole place. he has 4,000 people to staff fully cognizant of it. do you know what barack obama did before he left? launch this whole russia investigation. remember, they all signed paper. vice president biden was there i

don't think there is going to be any of those antics this time. i don't think he is capable of and no staff left. just about everybody left for the failed campaign and kjp is his chief adviser. i think for the country it would be great to see guys, can we cease and desist. do a mutual cease and desist on the personal attacks, just you got the mantel, you won and let's move on. i also feel great for the staff. do you know how hard that trump team worked for the last two and a half years, how many times they boarded that plane? how disciplined they have been for this moment. >> lawrence: heading to washington getting briefs on how they are going to pass we say the peaceful transition of power you got pete hegseth someone we know very well sits on this couch. he has moved into a new position now. nominated as secretary of defense. >> brian: have his own plane. >> lawrence: ththat's true. >> ainsley: he loves the military, it's his life. everything that matters most to him or one of the most to him. he was army national guard

infantry officer, he served tours in afghanistan and iraq. and he was a guard at gitmo. he talks about that -- what happened in gitmo. two bronze stars, combat infantry badge, infantry man badge. former concerned veterans for america. ceo. he has been here at fox for 10 years and he went to princeton, he went to hard and famously tore up his degrees, remember, here on fox because he is so against woke -- the woke colleges and woke ivy leagues. >> brian: do you think will cain is going to come forward with embarrassing stories that would stop this nomination from going forward? >> steve: i don't think so. i heard will cain might be up for attorney general. >> brian: absolutely. is he a lawyer. >> steve: the thing about pete, we all love him. is he going to be a great secretary of defense. >> brian: is he hand some man by the way, too. >> ainsley: but he is taken, brian. don't think about it. >> steve: in addition to what ainsley just went down he has lobbied heavily on behalf of service members accused of wore

crimes. remember eddie gallagher he? talked about him for the longest time. he was acquitted of war crimes and had a minor charge cleared by donald trump. pete hegseth and donald trump has been v. been on the same page for a very, very long time. as we hear donald trump talk about how he would like to remake the pentagon more efficient and less woke, pete is exactly the right guy to do it. i just got a text from somebody who said do you know what the dead give away was? that pete hegseth was going to be up for a big job in washington, d.c.? i said no, what? and he said he got a hair cut. in the last week he got rid of the mullet. and now he has a secretary of defense hair cut. just saying. >> brian: i thought it was the patriot awards. >> steve: that's not for a couple weeks. >> lawrence: wrote that book for i think is a blueprint what is going wrong right now. he is going to clean house. you have got a lot of people that have forgotten the mission of protecting us overseas and

their focus about all this other nonsense that the military should have no business being involved in. >> ainsley: talk about veterans affairs. >> lawrence: on the short list last time. >> ainsley: we were doing all these stories on people waiting in long lines to get an appointment with the doctor at the v.a. hospitals. >> steve: remember the phoenix d.a.? >> ainsley: people dying waiting six months to see a doctor. >> steve: the problem with the phoenix v.a. hospital it was run very inefficiently that, is why a lot of people are looking to this new appointment of new people, elon musk and vivek ramaswamy they are going to essentially operate something called doge, the department of government fish circumstance also a joke on doge coins which is one of the cryptos, elon obviously behind it. so much money wasted in washington. think about elon musk, he has invented so many clever things, he smud be able to figure out

how to make washington run more efficiently and that is why he has got donald trump's ear. and that's why donald trump is going to turn him and vivek loose. >> brian: teddy roosevelt made his name when he gave this nondescript position civil service. don't want to do that wife said why are you going to washington just to do this terrible job? he walked in there and inspired this agency. made them more efficient. got rid of the people that didn't want to work. he got this reputation and when the democrat came in to office, they said to teddy roosevelt i know you are a republican but would you stay? that's what elon musk has an opportunity to do everything is bigger. the bureaucracy is greater, i get it no one has a bigger track record of handling businesses than he and musk. people shine for them and say guys -- and ladies, this is your service. this is your public service. help me out with this agency. i worry about the civil service

unions though. >> lawrence: brian, i hear and maybe ainsley you can comment on this as well. that apparently part of the plan is not just when it comes to the accountability of these different agencies. but to move some of these agencies out of washington and to some of the other states. >> steve: talked about that for a while. >> lawrence: obviously the state department needs to be in washington. there is a lot of meetings with congressionals. maybe the department of education is in oklahoma or the department of interior is in south dakota. >> steve: they might get rid of education. >> ainsley: elon musk put this on x. he says all actions which by the way did you know his son's name is x? >> brian: really? >> ainsley: he posted this. >> brian: why? >> ainsley: he likes that letter. [laughter] >> ainsley: all actions of the department of government efficiency posted online. any time the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful let us know. we will have a leaderboard for the most insanely dumb spending

of your tax dollars. this will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining. want to know how our tax dollars will be used. >> brian: we got empty buildings paying for. look at some of these real estate things maybe we can convert these or get rid of this. >> ainsley: you mean buildings in washington? >> lawrence: in washington, d.c. >> brian: if you say to the department of education, you are going to kansas. you are going to oklahoma. a lot of them are going to quit. and that's part of the reason. >> steve: kansas is a great state. >> brian: i'm not putting down anybody. i'm just saying that a lot of the them don't want to -- >> lawrence: important point, brian, because of their government employees they have all these laws to protect them. so you just can't like a private organization go in and fire everyone. if you move the job, then it could put some more pressure on them. >> steve: only problem with that and i have heard this argument, is they are going to have to go build a great big brand new complex in alabama or in montana or some place like that.

it would be cheaper ultimately, but it's going to cost hundreds of millions of dollars in the short-term. they might save billions and trillions. >> brian: or just take over a empty building. do you know how many empty buildings we have in new york city. can't fill them up with commercial real estate. people haven't came back from the pandemic and a lot of companies leaned out. >> steve: let's see what they do. they have got a mandate from donald trump, fix it. that's what they are going to try to do. >> ainsley: if you are getting ready for work it's 13 minutes after the top of the work. now we turn to rich edson at the white house with more on what president biden and president-elect donald trump will be talking about later this morning. rich, fill us in. >> rich: good morning, steve, ainsley, brian and lawrence. what we have got here is president-elect trump returning to the white house for the first time since he left it in 2021. it's the traditional meeting between incoming and outgoing presidents. president-elect trump has been down in mar-a-lago since he wouldn't election. he has been filling out his administration. name be cabinet members. this is the first time president biden and trump will meet in the oval office. biden didn't get the invite four years ago.

it's the first time they will see each other since the debate in june. biden's rough performance led to him getting booted from the democratic ticket. since then biden has called trump a threat to democracy and his supporters garbage. though the white house claims it was only one supporter. trump has called biden stupid and incompetent. white house officials say the president will give trump his take on how he sees things like maintaining support for ukraine. trump is making the white house trip solo. the "new york post" reports melania trump has declined the invitation from jill biden because of the raid on mar-a-lago. at the time the white house maintained biden had no advanced word of the decision. meanwhile, over in the senate, republicans are voting in private to elect a new majority leader. florida senator rick scott has led a public campaign for the position. many in the president-elect's inner circle support him. senators john thune and john cornyn have been pitching fellow republicans in private. meanwhile, president-elect trump has made no official endorsement in that race. back to you guys.

>> brian: thanks so much, rich. so they are going to meet at the hyatt regency. trump is going to meet with the closed door meeting with house republicans that will be great. and then by 11:00, i imagine you have got to be on time for the president, flight. >> steve: what else does he have to do? >> brian: okay. but is he supposed to be there at 11:00. supposed to leave by 12:00. nothing really scheduled for the president-elect after. he just flies back to palm beach. he is leaving it open should they hit it off. >> ainsley: go ahead. >> lawrence: i'm sorry, ainsley, i was going to comment on what brian was talking about, is he going to meet with the republicans. there was a little scuffle with some of the representatives, especially when it comes to the senate, they got that big vote coming up. and they wants -- there are some senators that say they want the vote after the president elect speaks, because he may or may not do an endorsement. >> brian: really? >> lawrence: they think it's critical. he may set a tone. >> ainsley: rick scott is the maga guy. more aligned with mitch mcconnell. also helped elect a lot of these

senators. there is that loyalty factor. this is the secret vote. a lot of people in washington are upset about that. they want transparency. they are not going to get it here. we are not going to know who voted for who. >> steve: right now because the public endorsements, anybody who publicly endorses somebody other than rick scott is getting bee rated on social media and whatnot. however, the public endorsements we know of yesterday, mike lee and marsha blackburn said i'm in rick scott's camp. scott has got seven senators. john thune has got 4. and john cornyn has got 1. the odds are that it's probably going to be either john thune or john cornyn, one of the two of them. and there are no plans, as we see trump force 1 now taxiing down at pbi heading for washington, d.c. they are doing some runway repair. >> lawrence: to ainsley's point real quick. >> steve: it's about a two hour flight. >> lawrence: when it comes to intelligence and things that we don't want to put our servicemen and women at risk.

i understand the secrecy in washington over that i do not understand the secrecy behind a vote that matters so much to the country. i think they should let us know who they are going to voted for. maybe they do the vote in secret. at least tell us who you are going to endorse. >> ainsley: all three republicans, all three have served this country and hats off to them for that i just hope whoever wins works well with donald trump. the american people chose him. >> steve: ainsley, to that point, all three of the candidates have said they support donald trump's plans. but, mr. scott is, of course, the closest one to him. all right,. >> brian: just before we move on. there could be -- they say, a conservative challenger to speaker johnson. >> steve: absolutely. >> brian: who is more conservative jim jordan -- they are friends. they vacation together. >> steve: they ran against each other last time and jim jordan lost. >> brian: in a friendly situation, right? >> steve: well, politics. >> brian: wasn't it one at a time they had a vote and okay jim failed and johnson came in. but, i would say republicans,

you can't be that stupid. president trump says this is the guy. >> lawrence: he already supports him. >> brian: you can't be too conservative and can't be too moderate. have to have somebody who can work with the whole caucus. he is conservative but he has to work with the whole caucus. people have different opinions. they represent different districts. we have been over. this don't blow up johnson again. >> lawrence: also, i think the guy deserves a shot. you can't criticize him for how he worked when there was divided government. >> ainsley: yes. >> lawrence: now you have a trifecta, we think, that is going to happen. give him a shot to see how he governs with that. >> ainsley: everyone -- you might know better because peter is working closely with all of them in washington. i hear he is like you think straight as an arrow. >> lawrence: hilarious. >> ainsley: such a strong christian which is awesome. >> steve: mike johnson. >> ainsley: and your son. mike johnson straight and and as an arrow. he did the impersonation of

trump on air. was that with you. >> lawrence: hilarious. >> ainsley: everyone says is he hilarious, he is fun. >> steve: the problem for him is, you know, because the margin is so narrow it takes one or two to blow everything up and they are talking about one of the things they are going to figure out is that motion to vacate right now you just need one guy who is hacked off at you and you are gone. >> brian: hakeem jeffries under criticism. had you an opportunity to win how could you blow it again? nancy pelosi would have never let that happen. i think she is the most overrated politician way past her prime not as her age but her power i don't mean to a don lemon situation here. i'm just saying ains staying too long. and things change. if you don't change with them. >> brian: she is stabbing everybody in the back and denying it i think she has got to go. >> ainsley: one person shouldn't have that much power, right?

>> brian: absolutely. lawrence seems to have a lot of glawr from power to planes, fox news alert. the faa shutting down flights going to haiti for the next 30 days and this is the crazy part. a hand of of air carriers, including spirit airlines reported that their planes were shot at. look at that. not only shot at, shot. >> lawrence: this is crazy. carley has the details on this. carley, what you learning? >> carley: good morning to you guys. the faa releasing new guidelines on flights to and from haiti for the next 30 days saying all u.s. air carriers and operator are prohibited from operating altitudes surface up to but not including 10,000 feet sea level. the territory and airspace of haiti due to safety of flight risks associated with ongoing incivility. a plane from fort lauderdale was shot while it tried landing in haiti's capital. the airline says at least one of their flight attendants was hurt

during the attack. thankfully no passengers were hurt and flight diverted to the dominican republic to land. jetblue and american airlines reporting their plane suffered gunfire haiti. found bullet damage on a plane returning from haiti during a post flight inspection in new york. american airlines says one of their flights also suffered the same fate. gang violence has plagued the country for nearly a year now. pro. ing 20 staffers at the u.s. embassy to evacuate last month. haiti's new prime minister now promising more security to the country after he was sworn in on monday. but that violence in haiti, guys, was a big story over the summer. and clearly it is still going on. apparently it's even worse now than ever before. >> brian: just fired their president again. run by gangs literally run by gangs. that also happened during the biden administration. they left their eye off the ball there and all hell is breaking loose. do you know what our policy is. okay, if haitians want to come

here they can come here. that's not a policy. >> lawrence: we know what happened with that migration happened right there. i was down there in texas reporting. remember the president before that got assassinated and come to find out his wife was involved. >> steve: listen, the problem be when you are on an airplane is if there is a bullet hole in it you cannot pressurize the plane. and everybody is in peril. and that, unfortunately, you know, we don't know how far into the plane that particular bullet -- that was taken a picture of in the dr last tuesday. how far it went. but spirit airlines, one of the -- and that's a spirit plane right there. they are having a rough week. because apparently they are now on the verge of bankruptcy as well, because they have had a merger with another company. >> brian: jetblue. >> steve: that did not work out. >> ainsley: reported by medical personnel. no guest injuries were reported. is not shot probably, flight it would be just maybe the plane would have been hit and then they hit their head or something?

>> steve: unclear. >> brian: guys like mitch have orphanages over there and has to go once a month. you don't have enough money for a private plane. >> steve: my neighbor run as school there. and it's like -- this is going to be a problem. >> ainsley: the church does a lot with haiti. >> steve: meanwhile, as we have been telling you, you just saw a moment ago. president-elect trump's plane trump force 1 making its way to washington, d.c. where is he going to meet with a bunch of people, including house majority whip tom enpert. is he coming up next.

in joe biden and kamala harris out of this country. i expect him to give a great message today. more like a locker room speech, getting everybody ready for what happens coming in january. >> steve: well, it will be a victory lap because not only is he returning to the white house but it sounds like you guys are going to continue with your majority there. but he does need your help when it comes to passing, you know, extending the trump tax cuts from last time, the border, as you mentioned, energy, stuff like that. and he has got a very ambitious 100 day agenda, that you guys are going to try to get through. >> we're going to be in the majority. there is no question about that. the math is pretty clear. the question is by how much. >> steve: right. >> while you suggest that he is going to need our help. i would reverse it, steve, we need his help. we have been doing this in the house with a very small majority for the last two years. we passed the energy bills to unleash american energy. we passed the strongest border

bill in 20 years. but we did not have help from the white house and we did not have help from the senate. donald trump coming into office and getting the senate is the help that we need to get this stuff done. >> lawrence: of course, for him to get stuff done in washington, he has got to have some, you know, new thinkers in his cabinet and people who will assist him. what do you make of the announcements he has made so far? >> i love his appointments, especially the one last night. as i was telling you, pete hegseth is a minnesota guy. we're very proud of pete. pete literally has written the book on how to military into the function it was supposed to be instead of this woke, politically correct nonsense that the biden-harris administration has been pushing over the last four years. but, more importantly, we're proud of pete hegseth because he is a combat veteran. two tours of combat, in fact, unlike our governor and the failed vice presidential candidate who avoided combat.

this is the guy we are very happy about. >> steve: listen, we're happy about him. we have known him for a decade. and we are very proud of him as well. now, you mentioned the majority, you have got the majority. but because donald trump is taking two members of congress from your caucus to be in his cabinet, you know, your margin is going to be so slim, are you going to be able to get stuff done? >> look at what we just did over two years. our margin was incredibly slim. at times it was 219. yes. we are going to be able to get things done. i'm confident president trump knows exactly what he is doing. he has got the right people around him and he is not going to be taking people if it puts the majority at risk. these are republican seats. we'll be fine. we are ready to get to work with the president. >> ainsley: we know there is going to be an election over on the senate side, also there is going to be one there on the speaker side on the republican side there has been some suggestion somebody might challenge speaker mike johnson. what are you hearing?

>> pretty much everything is going to stay the same. human beings have differences of opinions, that's what these are for. our expect our leadership group to stay the same. the only real election that i have heard of is conference chair. because elise stefanik is of course going to be eventually be the ambassador to the u.n. >> steve: you have a very busy day. congressman ehmer thank you for starting it here at "fox & friends." >> thank you, steve. have great day. >> steve: meanwhile, some offer on the left not letting go of the fear-mongering, now smearing president-elect president trump. >> mass deportation program. what it means is grandmothers. what it means is brothers andul aunts.d you ♪ r device duckduckgo comes with a built-n engine, like google, but it's r and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browsel but it blocks cookies and creepy ads that follow youa and other companies.

>> janice: good morning, everyone. woo, it's cold here in the northeast. it's been very warm the last few weeks and dry. take a look at it. because we still have high fire danger over parts of the northeast. including new jersey, where we have a couple of fires still burning out of control in some regions and fire weather alerts for long island up towards massachusetts and everywhere in between. very gusty winds and dry conditions. look at this: i mean, we are at the top of the list for connecticut. new york, allentown, philadelphia and wilmington for the dryest fall on record so far. and no rain right now in the forecast. see that rain across the ohio, tennessee and mississippi river valley? high pressure is going to kind of protect us from that. then we have the northwest, they are getting socked in with rain and mountain snow. i just want to point this out. this will probably become sarah in the next couple of, i would say, 12 to 24 hours. it will be also a hurricane and we need to watch it, especially over the weekend as we think it's going to be pick up at some point by cold front and florida

right now you need to be on alert. we have a lot of time to watch for it. we will keep you up to date. all right, ainsley, hurricane season not over yet. and we're all over it. >> ainsley: yeah. we are watching it. >> janice: yep. >> ainsley: thank you so much, janice. >> janice: of course. >> ainsley: president-elect trump's team begins to take shape. democrats and the media attempting to smear newly elected border czar tom homan, watch. >> the appointment of tom homan today as border czar and he will be in charge of a mass deportation program. what it means is grandmothers. what it means is brothers and aunts. what it means is. [speaking spanish] >> tom homan promising mass deportations and camps in this country. bragging how he is going to be the man who will mercilessly come after immigrants. >> ainsley: critics fail to realize homan's long career in homeland security. that spans nearly 40 years over

both republican and democrat administrations. in 2015, he was awarded for his work under the obama administration before serving as acting ice director under donald trump. joining us now, fox news contributor ben domenech, good morning to you, ben. >> good morning, ainsley. >> ainsley: good morning. have they learned nothing? i mean, it sounds like what they were saying two weeks ago and america spoke. they want a safer country. what is your reaction? >> they have absolutely learned nothing, ainsley. i think one of the things that's important to know about tom homan i'm glad that you mentioned it he served under both republican and democrat administrations. he has been around this for a long time. one of the things that i think is so critical is that he understands is that we are not just going to revert to the approach that was used under president trump's first term. a lot of people point to the success of the remain in mexico program and things like that put in place under that term. and, of course that for the time was something that could work. but we're beyond that point now. we have gone from amlo former

leader in mexico to his apprentice claudia sheinbaum who is now in charge no. longer trust the mexican government when it documents these things. we need to have a much more aggressive approach to the border. amore aggressive approach that includes going after cartels, going after their money. and when it documents enforcing our laws not accepting anything that they spray mexico on face value. we simply have learned at this point that we cannot trust them. tom homan knows that it's why it is so important that we have someone who understands that in this job. >> ainsley: here is he pushing back against the media critics, watch thrgets president trump has made it clear we will prioritize public safety threats and national security threats first. if you are in the country illegally, you shouldn't feel comfortable. i wouldn't feel comfortable if i were in the country illegally. if when you enter this country illegally you have committed a crime, you are a criminal and not off the table. >> ainsley: ben, why are they focused on grandmothers and moms and democrats, why don't they

fowtion on the criminals, he says this was his quotes quote, the worst will be first. >> yeah, i think that's so important to understand about this, and it's the thing that i think the left has been in such denial about, it's one of the reasons that they just got hammered in this election. it's because they refuse to believe that there is a criminal element that is clearly following these migration trends that we have seen happen time and again. we have seen an historic heights of sex trafficking and the likes explode under the biden-harris administration. tom homan is about bringing a stop to that i think he is going to have the right priorities in mind when it documents criminals and security threats to the american people. >> ainsley: your wife used to be on "the view." do you really think they refuse to believe or do they hate donald trump so much they are trying to just fear monger? >> ainsley, you are touching on the ptsd that i have from that period of life. [laughter] i think they are in total denial. they can't accept it. look, the simple take away that they have from this election oh,

it's the voters who are wrong. they are the ones who are wrong about what is going wrong in our country. they are right. they understand what is going on. it's you who is out of touch, you can't acknowledge a fact this is a problem in communities on the border. the biden-harris administration looked away far too long. the american people bore the brunt of the ramifications of that this new administration is going to have this as priority number one when they get back in the white house. >> ainsley: for people who don't know much about tom homan. let's just go over his resume. new york police officer. he was a border patrol agent. he led ice's enforcement and removal under president obama. then he was the acting ice director under donald trump. he worked, ben, we can't harp on this enough, he worked for two administrations, a republican and a democrat. he just loves this country. it's common sense. he wants to do the right thing and make sure people are not coming across our border, especially criminals.

>> yeah, one of the things that you see there, too. is how much the left has shifted over the years. people talked about obama, you know, and his time in office as being the deporter in chief. he was someone who understood that he actually, in order to, you know, hold together his coalition, he needed to be a little tougher on the border than some of the other democrats there. but the progressive left has taken over the coalition so much that you are not allowed to say that anymore. this -- the obama administration vs. the biden administration, you know, was night and day. up think that one of the things we saw under alejandro mayorkas and the way he approached this whole thing he didn't do his job. for three and a half years he looked the other way on purpose. cared more about allegations of people whipping migrants and the like than did he about securing our border. that's going to change when donald trump gets back into the white house. and it's a big part of the reason why he is heading back there. >> ainsley: all right, ben. thank you so much. say hi to your lovely while meghan mccain for us. >> i will. good to see you. >> ainsley: more "fox & friends" in just a moment. first, we will leave with you a pretty shot of jacksonville,
