meanwhile a fox news alert. this morning an illegal migrant accused of murdering georgia nursing student laken riley returns to court today after an emotional first day on friday where prosecutors say riley fought for her life. >> ainsley: plus, more staffing announcements from president-elect donald trump. his ftc chair nominee promising to crack down on big tech censorship as we await appointments for key economic posts. >> brian: and, trump's famous dance moves seem to be catching on. watch. >> smith with the -- [cheers] >> brian: who says this country can't come together? the trump inspired celebration trend sweeping the sports world. >> come on, can you do this, brian this is the one dance you can do.

>> brian: how do you do it. >> steve: like that. >> brian: also he does the golf swing now. >> steve: like johnny carson. >> brian: steve, if you don't read. >> steve: had you to say mornings are better with friends. >> brian: well, you just said it. >> steve: i did. >> steve: all right. thank you very much for joining us on this monday. we begin with a fox news alert. the trial of that migrant accused of killing georgia nursing student laken riley will continue at 8:30 this morning down in georgia. >> ainsley: prosecutors are expected to present evidence that show that she fought for her life before she died. >> brian: for a while. madeleine rivera is in washington with the details. maddy? >> madeleine: hi, guys, good morning. we expect to hear more testimony from the states' witnesses this morning. emotions ran high in that georgia courtroom on friday at prosecution laid out their case against 26-year-old jose eye bar raft. prosecutors say ibarra, went,

quote, hunting for females at the university of georgia campus before encountering laken riley on her morning run. they say she struggled with her attacker. the watch showing the exact moment her heart stopped 18 minutes after she encountered ibarra. >> when laken riley refused to be his rape victim, he bashed her skull in with a rock repeatedly. the evidence will show that laken fought. she fought for her life. she fought for her dignity. is it. >> body cam video of a responding officer finding riley unresponsive was played in court last week. her parents and more than 20 family members were in the gallery visibly shaken. riley's mother had to leave the room at one point. the state called several other witnesses including all three of riley's roommates scrambling to find her friends when she never returned home from her run.

staff stoically. ask doesn't dispute riley was murdered attacking the strength of the state's evidence against them. especially the reliability of the d.n.a. samples. >> >> the evidence that jose ibarra killed laken riley is circumstantial. most importantly, in this case, you will hear no evidence that a sexual assault was committed. >> the defendant has on thed to have a judge decide his fate instead of a jury. he faces life without parole. steve, ainsley and brian. >> steve: all right. madeleine, thank you very much. we will take you down to georgia at 8:30. maddy was talking about how laken riley was wearing a garmin smart watch. and that is why the investigators have been able to figure out exactly where she was and what she was doing. she was wearing the smart watch at 9:o10 in the morning. the investigator described it as she stopped dead in her tracks

and that is when she dialed 911. and she was there for about four minutes, presumably when she was fighting for her life. then her smart watch moved 65 feet into the woods. as mad lynn said a moment ago. her heart stopped at 9:38. 18 minutes after the first encounter. her roommate had been watching her on find my friends and realized she hadn't moved for a while and went out looking for her. found one of her air pods and called the police. and the police found her body within 21 minutes. >> ainsley: it's a woman's worst fear. something that you are never prepared for. she had that smarted watch on. she did use it to call 911, which made me think maybe i need to get one of these smart watches. she was -- they found her body partially covered by leaves. 64 feet off of the trail. the prosecutors say they do have evidence that his d.n.a. was found under her nails. and they are telling the courts that she fought for 18 minutes.

>> brian: so a couple of things to that, just watching this case, it was almost -- if this was a movie or a tv series one of the court case you would say to yourself this movie is moving way too quick. it is unbelievable how overwhelming the evidence is. and then you see the killer's face while he is hearing the recount of his last moments alive and his horrific acts of trying to rape her and then just taking a rock and smashing her head. and you see the cold blooded killer looking right back at you. and you see he has no emotion. he is getting the translation. and that means he has done this before. is he totally okay with it. and he came here to do it. also, he has got two brothers. his brothers were also committing crimes. and they are also linked to that famous infamous venezuelan gang. and if you want to know how this relates all to the election, this is the story. it is not trumped up, no pun intended, situation about how bad the border is to get one

side elected and another side elected. this is the story of criminals pouring across our country. over 100,000 convicted criminals are in our country, no one disputes the numbers. and that's going to be the focus of tom homan, getting them all up before they kill the next laken riley. >> ainsley: prosecutors are using in court they are allowed to use in court the fact that he was caught earlier in the day, according to reports, of being a peeping tom. peeping on another woman. that's why they are saying that he was scouting out women. he was searching for women. and looking to attack. they found a set of bloody gloves with a hole in the left thumb and d.n.a. matching riley and a bloody jacket with riley and ibarra's d.n.a. on it. it was found in a garbage can in his home. >> brian: couldn't have no more certainty in any case. >> steve: what was particularly graphic, in addition to all the nuns, which lay out exactly what happened timewise. you got to see the officer's

body cam video as he approached her dead body. the judge did something very smart. she said if there is anybody in the courtroom who does not want to see this. please leave. and there were a number of people -- you could hear people crying in the background because it was so graphic. >> ainsley: did her parents stay for that? >> steve: i believe they did. >> brian: here's the thing. when you hear the officer trying to revive her. and you hear the audio of him trying to getler. i don't have her yet. i don't have her yet. and obviously. >> steve: heart breaking. >> brian: i don't have any pulse. i don't have any pulse. seven minutes after the hour. the president-elect is expected to focus on filling out his economic team after making another key appointment yesterday. >> ainsley: bill melugin is live down in west palm beach, florida with the latest for us. hey, bill. >> bill: hey, good morning to you guys. it was a fairly quite day here in palm beach yesterday no. major announcements coming out of mar-a-lago. what we'll really waiting on

still though is the announcement for who is going to be trump's pick for treasury secretary. there is a handful of names floating around. we will take a look at them right here. according to the "new york times" and the "wall street journal" these are the four guys potentially looking at, kevin wergs the former federal reserve governor, howard lutnick the coo of counterfeits and scott bessent. trump did make one pick. brendon car trump saying in a statement quote he will end the regulatory onslaught crippling regulators. ensure that the fcc delivers for rural americans. he made a few picks on saturday. one of them was chris wright announcing energy secretary. very important position that oversees all of america's nuclear weapon stockpiles. he announced that women sharp

will be white house staff he announced that karoline leavitt is going to be his press secretary. 27 years old. shea is going to make her the youngest press secretary ever. as can you imagine with some of trump's other picks, democrats haven't been too impressed with them. take a listen. >> is this the very best that america has to offer for a moment like this with so many challenges that we of course not. america deserves better. >> republican senator votes to confirm matt gaetz, or tulsi gabbard will be remembered by history as somebody who completely gave up -- >> -- yeah. >> their responsibility to donald trump. >> bill: guy, yesterday it was announced that the biden administration is going to be changing its ukraine policy. they are going to allow ukraine to use u.s. long range missiles

to attack russia deep within must territory. so we reached out to the trump transition team out here in palm beach and asked him do they have any reaction to that development. so far they haven't gotten back to us. you can imagine that is a significant policy change that could have pretty big implications for this incoming trump administration. we will keep you guys posted if and when we hear back from them. back to you. >> brian: thank you so much, bill. >> steve: thank you, bill. >> brian: i heard most of the conversation when it was trump and biden 101 was trump and ukraine. this is the trump effect. trump goes back and forth ukraine where is he going to stand. great relations with zelenskyy. i want to bring them to talks. if joe biden wants to continue this fight for a year and a half he said i'm going to put restrictions on your weapons now he knows i only have two months left. i can't put any restrictions. so, believe it or not through the last option available joe

biden is actually doing the right thing even putting north korean troops into the theater to fight ukrainians wasn't enough to do this. now it's not going to a game changer but to be able to attack the russians in russia. where they are actually fighting sending the missiles and drones, it could really change a little bit momentum or stem the momentum russians have right now. >> steve: all right. take a look at a couple of the names that bill melugin was just discussing. first up. 45-year-old brendon carr. he is the senior republican on the fcc. nominated first by trump in 2017. what's curious is he sent letters out to the heads of meta and google and apple on wednesday. that follows up on his vow to take censorship. he made national putting haters on which violated fcc rules.

that's why nbc then gave mr. trump a little time after nascar race. what is interesting is this guy and trump for the most part on exactly the same page. he is a disrupt tore of the status quo is he going to go after social media tiktok danger to national security and like it see it banned. meanwhile donald trump says he will save it from a ban and have it live a long life, essentially. >> ainsley: he is vowing to take on an dismantle the censorship cartel, that's all google, facebook, microsoft. he says he is a warrior -- trump says is he a warrior for free speech. in that letter he sent to tim cook and several other ceos. he said americans have lived through unprecedented surge in censor. your companies play significant roles in this improper conduct.

>> brian: listen. i think this guy is perfect pick. it's a vital pick. look at google, facebook wants out of politics. i didn't hear much if any complaints this cycle about facebook when, remember, the zucker bucks did a lot and shadow banning was significant and we found out later with the twitter files. there is no way tiktok shouldn't be banned. if you talk to mike gallagher and democrats. anybody that does any research, tiktok has to be banned. it is a spy tool for china. it's effective, i got it. but it's also effective and fun and they have a better algorithm. the tech people can tell you. there is no doubt about it. china is using to their advantage. if you want to know china makes an educational tool. they use it here for a poisonous tool. and they are taking everyone's personal information -- >> ainsley: why can't anyone here. >> steve: it's the algorithm it's particular. >> brian: so wide open, steve. >> steve: steve anybody could inventing it. that's the great thing about

technology you could invent your own. they just figured out the secret sauce on that and it's so perfect that's why it is so intoxicating. let's talk just for a moment about treasury secretary. we had heard for the most part all last week it was down to two people. howard lutnick, the guy from kanter fitzgerald and scott bessent the guy who was here on thursday. donald trump is having second thoughts. he has invited a couple new people into the mix. one is billionaire mark rowan and federal reserve governor kevin walsh walsh to he considered apparently getting on mr. trumpens nerves. trump says he is hanging around too much and manipulating the transition to better himself. the "new york times" describes

it as a knife fight with bessent and lutnick is the aggressor. keep in mind. you have got elon musk pushing lutnick. well, apparently trump has a problem with it, according to this reporting. and so now two new people are going to be interviewed this week mar-a-lago. >> ainsley: brian interviewed scott the guy on the left and we had howard lutnick on our show. >> steve: yeah. >> steve: big on terror. >> ainsley: 9/11 and ended up taking care of all those families. so we know a lot about him and his story and his life. i think he was here september 11th. because i was in the green room talking to him. both of these men are very successful. scott said he is from south carolina. grew up. >> brian: he was rich and had lost everything had to get a job at 9. i had him about 15 times on radio. him and trump hit it off. buys into the tariff situation. that's exactly how it would

work. and one of the guys doing it for the right reasons. give back. he never has to work another day in his life he wants to effect change. i hope he gets it. i don't know the other guys. i don't check treasury candidate cards. >> steve: right. >> brian: i do think that scott really has been working with trump for two years. >> steve: brian, you actually do collect treasury secretary cards they are called the dollar bill. >> brian: that's true. >> steve: that's the person who signs a dollar. >> ainsley: dawn collects those. >> brian: that's right. meanwhile 16 minutes after the hour. donald trump always gets a great greeting from the ufc. why? because ufc stood up and first sport back after the pandemic and first one to step forward. number two a huge history with dana white goes back 25, maybe more. when he walked out to this crowd right before madison square garden the place he was just there. people said they never heard anything quite like it including joe rogan. let's listen.

[cheers and applause] donald trump. [cheers and applause] [inaudible] hear the sound in this room. >> so loud in here. >> it is so loud; it's always loud when he comes here. oh my god. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] [chanting] [cheers and applause] >> steve: that is the ultimate -- i'm going to call it a power posse, elon musk, he had

dana white, donald trump jr. speaker mike johnson, r.f.k., dan bongino, tulsi, vivek, kid rock, jelly roll was there for a little bit and the crowd went wild. and when jake paul won he did a little dancing like we did at the top of the show. >> steve: he did, watch. [cheers and applause] [cheers] [cheers and applause] the producers said we should not dance right now. we have already done enough dancing. >> brian: i never did a dance move that did me any good. i would say this, this is pretty amazing to have a president of

the united states some will be booing. you have a guy that has been treated like a rock star with this sport in particular. but this is new york city this is 20,000 people who look at him as the champion. >> ainsley: i'm supported. these are my people. and they have always been his people. he said i'm ready to fight. they want him to go in there and shake things up and change our country. and make america great again. he received the heroens welcome. >> brian: what about that, ainsley. i wish he kept his headset on and hear what he was saying. rogan endorsed him the day before. stayed on the sideline, one time at one point he said i don't want to interview him because i think it will help him. he got to know him and dana whited started telling him about him and now they're fast friends. dana white and joe rogan best friends? >> brian: they are. >> steve: and i mentioned that kid rock was there he had did walk out to one of kid rock's songs. kid rock over the weekend had my

favorite tweet of the weekend. he tweeted people keep asking me if i have a post in president trump's cabinet. i do. i'm going to head the liquor cabinet. >> steve: has he a very kid rock sort of thing. >> brian: quick shot of the plane that they came in on. you see them eating together. and you see a shot of speaker johnson peering over the top. >> steve: on the cover of the post. >> brian: a guy that's in great shape. i think shaves his chest, r.f.k. jr. but he is known as somebody who is very concerned about fast food. people are talking about well, he is having a big mac. can you have a. >> look at the caption make america healthy again starts tomorrow. what we all do on sunday. pete tonight we start the diet tomorrow on monday. >> steve: that's right. i heard from my doctor friend, dr. re realmson, r.f.k. jr. hasa real coke.

real sugar coke. >> ainsley: a lot of people -- i don't do the diet coke because sack written and all that stuff. >> steve: it has aspartame. >> ainsley: no, i don't want to do any of those chemicals, now if i want a coke, i will have a few sips. don't ever drink the whole one. >> brian: let's talk about what is going on in the nfl. this is a league that used it get on you if you weren't kneeling at one point because they were upset that donald trump was president or whatever they were worried about, america wasn't good enough. this league this thing has changed in real time. if you want to know america come together, i look at everyone doing the dance, and then you look at the envelope, look at how they are celebrating. watch. >> steve: it's the trump dance. >> smith with the sack. [cheers] >> accept the flag here. >> steve: how funny is that? apparently college players have

been doing it for a couple weeks now and now it has gone international. i was reading apparently soccer players in the u.k. are doing the trump dance as well. and we saw it yesterday, a number of times. it's make football great again. >> brian: i think this is so much more than just having fun at a sports game. i think this shows that america is coming together. look it, 51% of the people voted for trump, 49 voted for -- 48 voted for kamala harris. but there is nobody else in the world that gets that type of response at madison square garden or any other arena. number 2 is black and white players celebrating the same way for president-elect? we're just a couple years away from celebrating our 250th birthday at a time in which i don't know if we would have celebrations just apologies. and now i just think maybe i'm overstating it. i think seeing that dance in all these different corners of the world and country shows we are

coming together set. going to have a real shot at bringing everyone together. >> steve: forget about the policy. the dance could bring the world together. >> brian: if you dual my dance, then you will listen to my policies. >> steve: i would like to teach the world to sing -- i would like to teach the world to dance. >> brian: i may might have to get the world together. i just don't know any musicians except lee brice. >> steve: the dance is sweeping the nation. >> brian: dramatic reaction from democrats to some trump cabinet picks as the battle for treasury heats up. >> it is a harsh judge. >> is this the very best that america has to offer?

now green lighting the missiles used deep inside russia, they have been limited to targets around ukraine. they will target, according to reports, counteroffensive forces in russia's kursk area where ukraine has made enroots roads recently specifically against russian troops and 10,000 north korean soldiers now backing then up. ukrainian president zelenskyy who has long been pushing for this, he said overnight the missiles will speak for themselves. russian president putin and others in the kremlin have been warning against the missiles' wider use saying that could lead to a third world war. those were more or less the concerns of president biden as well. critics by the biden administration says this comes too little, too late. >> look, this is simply too late in the game. it should have been done a long time ago. about the biden administration has been slow-walking a lot of the aid that's been authorized in a bipartisan fashion from

congress since the beginning. >> in fact, some in the incoming trump administration say this move might, in fact, heat up the battle in ukraine when they are gonna try to calm things down. anyway, brian, experts are saying there is just not enough of this type of missile on the ground right now to make much of a dent in the immediate proceedings. but it's a big signal. back to you. >> brian: greg, don't you also think now that free's up the rest of the alliance to do the same thing? limit restrictions and get in long range missiles and other things? i think we set the tone here. >> absolutely. france and the u.k. have similar long range missiles. not quite as long as ours. they have been eager to get them in the fight. this does give the would for several countries to be helping out ukraine. >> brian: nice. every little bit helps. greg pagliano cot, thank you. meanwhile on this, democrats gearing up for battle over some

trump cabinet picks. >> is this the very best that america has to offer? hopefully, we'll see the senate republicans do their job, scrutinize these picks,. >> the republican senator who votes to confirm matt gaetz or robert kennedy or tulsi gabbard will be remembered by history as somebody who completely gave up their responsibility to donald trump. >> brian: here to react is trump 2024 senior official and trump 2016 corey lewandowski. let's focus on the three they mentioned. tulsi gabbard, r.f.k. jr. and matt gaetz. out of the three, who is going to be hardest to confirm? >> look, my guess, brian, is that former congressman gaetz is probably the most difficult. we see most backlash from him. and the reason is the democrats are anxious to get a release of a report which the house ethics committee was allegedly about to release that has been put on

hold that said, brian, no one knows what is in that report. more importantly what these democrats refuse to admit is that donald trump is coming back to washington, d.c. with a mandate from the american people and is entitled to have his cabinet around him that he chooses. now, listen, the u.s. senate has the right to confirm these people, but i want to remind everybody that donald trump's mandate also allowed him to make the u.s. senate a republican majority with his winning in pennsylvania. his winning in ohio. bringing those candidates across the line also in montana. so, as these u.s. senators consider the president's nominee, they should remember why they are in the majority. >> brian: all right. absolutely, too. and, look, it's a nomination process. r.f.k. has got to have answers. matt gaetz has got to have answers and let's make it pay per view because it's going to be electric. let's talk about treasury secretary. a little bit surprising here. not the sexiest position but a vital one but howard lutnick says i have a good idea. why don't i just maim myself.

i recommend me by the power vested in me. he is part of the transition team in the selection. looks to be bessent's deal. now more people entered into it. kevin warsh the former fed and apollo global. what is your sense of what is going on here? >> brian, it reminds me when i was the chairman of the variety presidential selection committee. i went out and interviewed all the candidates. i should come back to president trump. corey lewandowski will be the best vice president. what we picked at the time mike pence. that said it's very difficult when you are in the position of making recommendations to also be positioning yourself for a position there. you are -- maybe you want to have someone isi agnostic to it. i like howard lutnick i like all the players in this. testified the president's position. it's difficult to be in the position of recommending someone when you are trying for that

very same position. >> yes, it's a little different like dick cheney he went through the whole process, i have an idea let's make it dick cheney and ends up being george bush's running mate. corey, rallying around if you watched football and ufc. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you. >> brian: all right. meanwhile, a fox news alert in two hours. illegal migrant accused of murdering laken riley returns do court as we learn how long the georgia nursing student tried to fight for her life. ♪ comes to the holidays everything has to be seamless. save on lg's first ever zero-clearance refrigerator that has near flush installation for the ultimate built-in look. save at lowe's now during our black friday buildup event in store and online. liberty mutual customized my car insurance so i saved hundreds. with the money i saved i thought i'd get a wax figure of myself. oh! right in the temporal lobe! beat it, punks! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪

for 18 minutes. fox news contributor and retired nypd energy paul mauro is in georgia to cover the trial for us. good morning to you, paul. >> good morning. >> ainsley: there is so much evidence here. do you think that there's enough to prove that he is guilty when you combine d.n.a.ened. jacket that had the blood, and her d.n.a. and his d.n.a. on it? >> so far the prosecution is really laid out a very compelling story here with a lot of evidence to back it up. they have created that narrative arc that you want in the opening statement. now they are filling in all the details of that. and begins with jose ibarra leaving that day to quote, unquote, hunt females as the prosecutor put it. you had the earlier peeping tom incident before the alleged incident here with laken riley. and all of the evidence at this point does seem to be going in their direction but, you know, the defense is going to get a chance to put on a case.

>> his thumbprint was found on cell phone. d.n.a. under her nails shows she did try to fight for her life. look at all of these charges against him. 10 counts of malice murder. felony murder. aggravated assaulted. aggravated battery. hindering 911 call. tampering with evidence and peeping tom. paul, he crossed the border two years ago. he was previously arrested. was he out on a warrant? >> he was. he had been arrested in new york for a child endangerment charge. that doesn't appear to have gone anywhere other than a quick dismissal. he ends up down here in georgia and he was out with a bench warrant for a shoplifting charge but had not been picked up. it did not appear that anybody from any of the warrant squads was looking for him. yeah, when they got him, he was here not only illegally but he actually was wanted for a charge in athens. >> ainsley: paul, we are learning that he lived with his brothers. i was reading one of the brothers came over illegally, too. and is affiliated with that gang

out of venezuela. why is he still in our country? why are they still in our country? we are going to have to pay for this guy to be behind bars it looks like for the rest of his life. >> yeah. it does look that way. were he to be convicted, they are reportedly, tren de aragua, affiliated. how they got in, how they managed to stay, big questions embedded in this case. you know, since you bring that issue up, to enlarge the canvas, i just hope that the evidence being gathered here, that there were phone dumps, probably of both brothers. a lot of forensic evidence regarding their background. i just hope that that evidence is accessed by the federal government and the teams that donald trump is talking about putting together to gain intel and insight into how these gangs are establishing themselves here. those phone dumps could be very valuable. i hope that's going on across the country. individual cases all the locals are making that's not enough to take on the challenge we face here relative to tren de aragua and some of these other criminal gangs. ainsley: paul, we are watching

him sitting in court and watching laken's mother with her face covered. cannot imagine what she is going through. they had to watch the video of when the -- the body cam video of when the police officer found their daughter's body. what strikes you the most since have you been covering this trial? >> you know, since you bring that up with the voluminous evidence here, i have to say to myself, look, the best we are going to do here is life in prison, flight we are, therefore, responsible for the care and feeding of this guy for the rest of his life. had we gone for the death penalty, with all of this evidence, maybe he pleads to life in prison and the family doesn't have to go through this. >> ainsley: thank you so much, paul. more "fox & friends" coming up. >> thank you. ♪ wonderful time of year ends up being the busiest time of year. that's why we're offering savings on select whirlpool appliances that help you sleigh the holiday season. save at lowe's now during our black friday buildup event in store and online.

favorable for tornadoes from texas up towards oklahoma for the next couple of hours. have a way to get those watches and warnings. this is all because we are getting a pattern shift in the atmosphere, very heavy rainfall across the northwest and mountain snow and this is what is going to kind of trigger this next pattern shift and the potential for not only heavy rain, severe weather, but snow for the northern plains and the upper midwest later this week. we will continue to keep you up to date. you know, good news for the snow path, we need that we need the moisture in the west. unfortunately it's going to lead to some problems as we head into a very busy season of traveling, steve doocy, over to you. >> steve: next week is the big week. >> janice: yes, sir. >> steve: j.d., thank you very much. >> janice: you got it. >> steve: president-elect donald trump received a patriotic hero's welcome as he made his try up fant return to madison square garden for saturday night's ufc fight. [chanting u.s.a.]

>> steve: our next guest actually took that video right there and was sitting right behind donald trump in the jam-packed arena. sage steele joins us now from down in florida. sage, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. thanks for having me on. >> steve: first of all, how did you get those tickets? >> they weren't -- were they? i have been good friends with dana white for a long time. and i have been talking about my obsession with this sport with my father who is the reason why i wanted to be a sportscaster for a long time, i said, dana, i need to bring my dad. it's up at the garden where he is from. is he like done, come. and now look. now i have ruined him with those seats. dana ruined him. >> steve: no kidding. i saw on x you thanked dana white for making it the best father-daughter date ever which you were right behind, so you

essentially had a bird's eye view. tell us what was going on. i mean, trump came in, hero's welcome. the crowd went wild and it seemed like it went wild the whole time he was there. >> absolutely. i was at the trump rally at madison square garden a few weeks ago. to me it was comparable. that was absolutely insane. the walk-up is always a big deal and always a big gathering beforehand. i saw everybody gathering out in the executive lounge and tulsi and elon and everybody who was there and then the walk-up it was just incredible. the energy was awesome. i will say i tried to really be present, steve, because how often will you be in a room and this is pre-fight will you be in a room with that many people? i mean trump's cabinet almost everybody he has chosen so far was right there. everybody was so excited. everybody is so into the sport. tulsi gabbard goes to these a lot. theeshe loves it.all in on it. cool for me as somebody who

covers the sport to sit back and watch. all of these big names in our government walking in and absorbing it. >> we are looking at the walk. in at one point donald trump did what he is now also famous for. he started to do that trump dance, which is sweeping the nation. describe what you saw him do. there it is right there. that thing with the hand and the back and forth. can you explain why that's so popular. >> i was so grateful rolling to get that video. one of my favorite things. you see r.f.k. jr. who is walking in and cracking off. i just wonder what is going through his mind with all of this. i interviewed him when he was anti-trump and anti-biden and now there laughing. the entire place was waiting for it. entire place went crazy. if you watch social media, it's so awesome to see kind of this spreading around the sports world. you know, in the nfl and everywhere else. so my how a couple weeks changes things, huh?

>> steve: yeah. and there is a boxer doing it and sunday night brock bowers did the donald trump thing. and then was asked about it later. and then as it turns out. as soon as that question was asked, then they pulled the plug on the press conference,i believe. >> isn't that funny? i do think, listen, as a former espn disney employee we know this airs on espn plus pay per view. i was smiling. a know a lot of other many people were, too. because you can't cut away from john bones jones doing the trump dance in the middle of the octagon for what he did when he won. so it was so incredible. hopefully all these media companies and everyone else just softens. stop the divisiveness and join what this is. these are athletes celebrating victories, bringing people together. so to watch trump by the way absorbing all that as well and enjoying it and laughing at

john. john recorded a solid minute video of john going back and forth and he looked and oh my god, elon. oh my god kid rock. john jones was in awe of who was there to watch him. there is so much positivity and i love the feeling that this country has changed donald trump there. this is further proof. >> steve: do you know what, sage? america needs to have a little fun. and a little of that dancing is fun? bring it on. i'm just saying. hey, tell your dad i'm glad he had a nice time in new york city over the weekend. thanks to dana white. >> i will. he is still on cloud nine. basically i'm the best child now. favorite child in his life. >> steve: sage stihl steele, thank you very much. we are stepping aside. more "fox & friends" in a minute. ♪ is having your coffee like you like it without an audience. ♪ [silence]
