different presidents there. you sued the biden administration. they have got about four days left. what do you expect to happen when donald trump takes over about 20 seconds to you before we have to hand it off to "fox & friends"? >> look, here in oklahoma, we thank god every day that president trump is going to be back in charge. what i think you are going to see is a border shutdown. see mass deportation. see the rule of law back in place. you will see states like oklahoma that we are going to be able to have a much better grasp of solving our own problems. is he also going to shut down the department of education. listen, you have got more state control over education. you have a shutdown border. you have law and order brought back. protection of taxpayers. it is a beautiful day for america that president trump returning common sense back to the white house. and our kids will be better off for it. >> todd: superintendent ryan walters. thank you. don't forget to set your dvr 5:00 a.m. so you don't miss a minute of "fox & friends first." >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. >> brian: here would go.

6:00 a.m. on the east coast thursday january 16th. this is "fox & friends." breaking overnight, after israel and hamas came to a cease-fire agreement we thought, now the prime minister neta its approvas on pause. where the deal stands at this hour. and when we could see the release of some of the hostages. >> ainsley: and biden says goodbye but not without this warning. >> oligarchy is taking shape in america of edges stream wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy. >> steve: i wonder who is he talking about? plus more of donald trump's cabinet confirmation hearings today who we are watching after pam bondi held her own against the democrats. >> so you are trying to engage me in a gotcha. >> i'm asking a simple question if you can speak truth to power. so let me ask you. >> lawrence: "fox & friends" starts right now.

>> brian: here's the big story and alert in a different way. the middle east on edge is edges at future of the cease-fire deal long talked about between israel and hamas is now uncertain. after israel's prime minister apparently delayed the deal's ratification vote. >> lawrence: chief foreign correspondent trey yingst has the latest from tel aviv. trey, what's the latest on this deal? >> yeah, hey, guys, good morning. today we received a statement from the prime minister's office saying that hamas is actually going back on some parts of the agreement. now, the office provided no additional details and hamas says they are committed to implementing the deal that was reached overnight. we do know that the region is waiting for the implementation of in cease-fire agreement that it is supposed to go into effect on sunday. today a vote was scheduled to take place in the israeli cabinet to ratify the deal followed by 48 hour period that will allow for objections in the israeli supreme court. diplomatic conversations are continuing at a high level,

urging stability in this deal. a statement released by the prime minister's office overnight said, quote: prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke this evening with u.s. pleskt donald trump and thanked him for his assistance in advancing the release of the hostages and helping israel bring an end to the suffering of dozens of hostages and their family. palestinians welcomed the agreement after living through 15 months of war. >> last night's atmosphere was filled with joy. everyone was happy. everyone was looking forward to this for nearly a year. thank god he sent us this and the people rejoice. >> trey: we are speaking with a number of the sources linked to these negotiations. they say at this point, it doesn't look like the deal is collapsing. they are trying to clarify some of these points between israel and hamas. but, certainly, this entire region waiting to see if sunday will lead to a deal that releases the hostages.

guys? >> brian: trey, what do you think is behind it? some say that there was a fear the prime minister could have his government collapse and he might have indications that that would happen if this was put in front or it was ratified. and, others say maybe he is having second thoughts. >> yeah. look. brian, it's great question. and an important point to note here. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing significant domestic political pressure his own finance manager actually threatened to leave the government which could assist in collapsing this coalition if the deal moved forward. this is not a deal that is widely accepted by everyone in israel hostages out, hundreds of palestinians prisoners, more than 100 of them life sentences things like murder will have to be released as part of this agreement. there is a lot of pressure on the prime minister. of course, these details are going to be worked out in doha, qatar with these negotiators.

look, there are real political concerns for the israeli leadership as it right wing coalition is threatening to leave the government if israel is not primed to go back into war. against. >> steve: don't like the deal among other things it doesn't bring ever everybody out. it's not all of the hostages do. it now and kick the can down the street and do it again. this is grinding on. i get why they want it over but it's got to be for everybody. >> y. there are a lot of parts this agreement that really don't check out in terms of how quickly this could actually get done. current administration but also incoming administration president-elect trump on board on board with trying to figure out how to get these hostages out of gaza. the bottom line here it's going to cost something. there will be a price to get these hostages home there are real internal political discussions here about who is

going to be released. you hear all these different opinions here they don't really care what it means. they want to get their looed ones gaza and home. there are dozens of living hostages waiting to be reunited with their loved ones, again it comes down to a political situation here. moving forward and you noted this deal in phase one does not mean all the hostages are going to come out. we are talking about 33 hostages. according to our hostages, some of them are dead hostage square that's the designated area that's the picture where the hostages are being hung up, you can see them behind you. how many of the hostages will be released and how many of the palestinian prisoners will be released? >> so, last night i got a text message from a hamas final who

actually sent me the documents. we got more details into what it is going to look like during the first phase getting released. this is getting into the weeds but important to understanding the context of this deal. they are going to be 110 palestinian prisoners received life sentences convicted terrorists currently sitting in israeli jails. hamas sees this as a victory. this has been their objective from the quinning of the conflict on october 7th. they took hostages understanding they would be able to exchange them for some of their members. hamas and jihad militants sitting in israeli jails. if that moves forward, the next part of phase one will see hostages over the age of 50. of the civilian men that were dragged into gaza on october 7th released. they will be released at a different ratio. anywhere from 27 to 1 to 3 to 1, depending on the specific palestinian being held in

israeli jail. there are a lot of details of this agreement. remember, it's not just the release of hostages for palestinian prisoners, we're also talking about things like the rafah crossing between gaza and egypt reopened to allow not only some civilians from inside gaza to leave and get medical treatment. according to this document that i reviewed last night. the israelis are agreeing to allow 50 gunmen from hamas to islamic jihad wounded during the war to leave gaza to get medical treatment as part of this deal. again, there are parts of this that are very unpopular in israel. the israelis are in a bit of a catch-22 here. they want to get the hostages out understanding there will be a price to pay. >> lawrence: trey, i wonder if you can confirm some things for me. i spoke to my friends in the military in israel. they told me this was always going to be the case when it comes to a deal. you remember they exchanged the israeli soldier shalit. they exchanged for a thousand firefighters over there. one of them was area area sinwar as we know orchestrated october

the 7th. they also told me and we know that the israelis have some of the best think told me it was a suicide mission at this point. they were surrounding the hostages in a way if they did try to rescue them, everybody was going to die, as the hostas as well as their soldiers up have you able to confirm this was the type of situation that they were going to be dealing with. >> trey: yeah, absolutely. i will talked with a number of special forces here in israel. this is israel's version of the navy seals going into the gaza strip. >> they know where many of the hostages are but worried about approaching them. this has been the concern of the israeli government and military for the past 15 months. remember late last year six hostages executed by hamas as israeli forces got closer it. gives you a sense of just how difficult this battle

environment is. these are not hostages that are being necessarily held above ground in easily identifiable areas. held beneath the gaza strip. exactly right. this was always going to end with a deal. and speaking with both israelis and palestinians, this was often something that civilians would say to me. we know this is going to end in an agreement. why not get one now. and, according to president biden, this is the framework of what he presented back last may and he said is he taking credit for it. you heard the press secretary at the white house just yesterday trying to give the president credit. but the reality is we are looking at a very similar deal to what was on the table last may and nothing moved until president-elect sent his envoy to the middle east. you saw steve witkoff, president-elect trump's to the region pushing the deal forward. that's what changed the equation when we are looking at what is on the table today and what hopefully will be implemented in the days ahead. >> brian: one thing different is there is going to be a new

president. this new president trump will not be slowing down weapon systems. will not be condemning and acquiescing to colombia protesters. breaking deals in those 42 days. then is he not going to worry, about wow, i wonder if the americans are going to put so much pressure on me if i act on the fact he goals through the deal. phase one he knows he has a different temperature at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. and that's why i think netanyahu might feel empowered to do something like this now than he would have in may. than he would have in july. >> trey: absolutely. when we zoom out here and think about what the past 15 months have been defined by it's iranian influence in the middle east. iranians supporting these group. >> jihad. hezbollah in southern lebanon, the houthis in yemen that up until this week have been launching missiles at tel aviv where we are standing right now.

this has been a 7 front war for the israelis. and, yet it, continues today in a limited capacity. certainly hamas has been degraded inside the gaza strip. but the israelis aren't just looking at gaza when they think about an agreement here. they are looking about what this is going to lay for a future, not only peace framework but also posturing to encourage the iranians not to pursue a nuclear weapon that they ultimately could use against israel. certainly there has been horse trading behind the scenes incoming administration of president-elect trump to say look, we are going to support new your efforts to deter iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. we have got to get a deal together to get these hostages out including american citizens and ultimately end this conflict inside gaza. >> brian: we think three americans were going to be included in the nine, right? >> absolutely, reports indicate that two out of the three are expected to be included in first phase of the deal there are seven american citizens being held inside gaza. but, sadly, four of them are believed to be dead.

>> steve: trey yingst live in tel aviv where it's 1:12 in the afternoon. and there is a pause on the boat. it's a breaking news situation. >> ainsley: donald trump has warned if they are not released by monday, what was his quote? all hell breaks loose? >> steve: all hell breaks loose. >> brian: guess who could do that the idf held back because of constraints you don't want any civilian casualties. doesn't mean all hell breaks loose. doesn't mean we are going. in one of the most lethal fighting forces in the world will no longer be constrained. i don't think the subtext is lost on hamas. i sense we will see more of trey within this show. >> lawrence: i agree. >> steve: let's see. meanwhile, if you were watching the channel last night at two minutes after 8:00 eastern time joe biden sat down at the resolute desk for his farewell address to the nation. it was 18 minutes long. if you missed it, let me summarize it this way. essentially he said over the

past four years i was great. but, you know, the next guy, he never mentioned donald trump by name. the next guy and his pals are scary you should be scary. they are tech bros and rich and going to erode americans' freedoms and screw you is essentially what he said. listen. >> i want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. and this is a dangerous -- that's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a few ultra wealthy people. the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. today, an oligarchy is taking shape of america, extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, freedoms. and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. we see the consequences all across america and we have seen

it before. >> lawrence: i find myself perplexed with the president of the united states that he is essentially trying to re-litigate the elections. donald trump is at his most powerful rating ever. he is okay with the rich and powerful when he is giving them awards like george soros. okay with abuse of power when he pardons his son and then we are still on pardon watch he may proactively pardon members of his family, members of his administration. and so for him to take these positions right now, i don't know who crafted the speech i don't know why i was expecting a little more humility. >> ainsley: dana perino said his speech writers have left the room. i was perplexed also especially when he said he wants americans just to pay their taxes. i thought send that message to your son. >> lawrence: to your son. >> brian: editors have left. yeah, things are incorporation changing the media situation is changing. when the "l.a. times," "the

washington post" and "u.s.a. today" didn't endorse your party and your candidate that's maybe disconcerting but it's not bad. it is i'm taking a step back. i no longer am leaning left and is he concerned. was he concerned when all the silicon valley was firmly in his pocket? helped him win 2020. was he concerned when all of them were coming to the white house and taking a bow? we know listening to zuckerberg and elon musk talk and twitter files and facebook investigation by jim jordan, we know that his administration was was demanding that they change their stance and shadow ban or ban people who have different ideas for therapeutics when it came to code ideas ideas and views on the vaccine which was new and people had legitimate questions. believe it or not, the fbi under donald trump was going to bat for his party in his presidency making sure that hunter biden story never got out.

if he was so concerned i would have believed you more in 2020 than i do in 2024. you are mad they are not wearing your jersey. that's what you are mad about. >> steve: he is just mad because suddenly those people who he thought were in his pocket and they were until a couple of months ago, they were all in his pocket, deep in his pocket with the exception of elon musk who has been on the trump train for a while. but they would do pretty much everything that he did ask. and now they are all going to go to his inauguration. and elon musk and mark zuckerberg have cozied up to the president in a substantial way. it was amazing to see generally not every parent gives a farewell address. usually they are a sunny look back. look at how much we accomplished. look, america has been great and optimistic look at the future. instead essentially it was very dark. and the way he ended it was hey, america, you got watch your

back. the last line was now it's your turn to stand guard. so he is deputized you to go after the people on the trump train who you -- who he does not agree with. >> ainsley: latest cnn poll looking back at joe biden's four years. his presidency has been, what? 61 percent said a failure. 38 percent said success. >> steve: ainsley, who are those 38%? >> ainsley: i'm wondering. biden's job approval 36% according to cnn polling. >> brian: it's not like he has the ability during this time that he was talking to the press, he gave everyone the heisman, the press, not even friendly press for the most part until he was about to lose the candidacy and he ultimately lost it where he did seven network interviews in 10 days. but, overall, people point out that hey, truman left office about 28% approval rating and almost everyone puts him on the near great level. he will never reach that because truman got us through a war.

i would also add joe biden every time he brings up what he did for green energy, all i hear lie. he called it the inflation reduction act. now he brags it was the green new deal. >> lawrence: not only did he have his wife there but having hunter biden sitting there listening to the speech. it's been reported that they are pretty active running things at this point. jill biden still hopes for a good ending this is the quote: i have been thinking a lot about relationships. >> ainsley: talking about nancy pelosi. >> lawrence: we were friends for 50 years. she is using her teacher's voice now. it was disappointing. so there is a lot of bitterness right now in the white house because of nancy pelosi asked him to step aside. >> the control room, could you put up that wide shot, shot through the window of joe biden giving the speech at the resolute desk and there you see his family and vice president

they are all dressed in back right there as you can see. the next slide look carefully and the "new york post" points this out. might actually be behind our logo. joe biden is sitting on a pillow. we don't know if it's just was a rough four years or whatever, but apparently he has taken now to sitting on pail low. apparently he needs all the support he can get. >> in that article from "the washington post. they interviewed joe biden, and it was at the beginning of january and just released. >> steve: there is the pillow. >> ainsley: where is the pillow? let me see. that white part? okay. she is at peace with this ending. disappointed on how it all unfolded and then the reporter said you are the keeper of family grudges. and she said you said that, i didn't. but then the reporter said in her book in her memoir she said joe had the capacity to forgive. is he incapable of holding a grudge. that ends up i end up being the holder of grudges. she went on to talk about nancy pelosi. she thinks he could serve for another four years. when he stepped down it was

really hard that week in june. after the debate, she praised him. said you did a great job. you all the facts and then the next night when the press said he did a terrible not going to let 90 minutes define the four years you have been president and pardoning hunter. joe really wrestled with that decision. he wasn't going to pardon hunter but things changed t became quite apparent and obvious that the republicans weren't going to stop. >> brian: couple of things. they are missing the point. joe biden couldn't do the job. nancy pelosi hatchet job stabbed him in the back, absolutely. she has no ethics, no values. friendship means nothing to her. barely having said that, so she got rid of him. but, she was just saying wrornl ansaywhat everybody else was saa good spouse to cared about her husband after 2022 and saw he couldn't do the job this is the time to get out. we did well in the midterms.

you won the election. more votes than any democrat in mystery. so we got to get out. instead, she is mad at nancy pelosi for saying the truth she should have said he can't do the job. i got the same reports you do. should get out after 2022. worse thing success in the midterms. then they said joe can stay. no primary. >> lawrence: brian, i want to take you to two two years ago rachel campos-duffy was sitting on this couch and she called jill biden out and says she needs to do something as a wife that was once married to a legislator because sean was in congress. should have been doing more. the white house, the first lady's press shop went after her so hard. went after this network. it has all been true. it's all true. an apology from rachel. and we all see it now. >> brian: story written and come out in the "wall street journal," couldn't work a full

day. nancy just wouldn't, because she was a friend. wouldn't just lie. >> look at what happened in afghanistan. lives are on the line. not just like you were saying want to just be at the dinners and travel around the world. serious job, highest job in our land and america is very important and our soldiers are important. by allowing him to run and say he could serve for another four years put lives in danger read all about it in the "the washington post." it's an eye-opener. meanwhile another fox alert after 22 minutes 6:00 in the east. thousands of firefighters outer west are battling flames in and around the l.a. area. making significant gains on containing them. >> ainsley: but over 12,000 buildings and houses have been destroyed. and officials fear it could get worse if the strong winds return next week. >> lawrence: let's check in with janice dean for the fox weather forecast. >> certainly looks like a return

of the santa ana winds. there is the containment right now. still not contained in the palisades. 23,000 acres burned. eaton 45% containment. by the way a new one little mountain fire that happened last night. we still have an elevated fire risk. but the good news is we will have more of on shore flow this weekend bringing the humidity up and winds will die down. here is the potential set up next week. we could see moderate to strong santa ana winds depending on where that high sets up and where we have those funneled winds through the valleys and the can canyons. we are hoping for weaker offshore winds but we could potentially see very strong winds next week. we are watching that carefully giving everyone a heads up across southern california. as you can see the relative humidity is going to go down. that's not good news. no rain in the forecast either. the other huge story is the are a tick outbreak. the coldest air of the season that is going to move as far south as texas and the gulf coast. and that's going to be a set-up for a severe weather event in terms of snow and ice for the

south. including texas, mississippi, alabama, georgia. and then this area of low pressure. he would many have to watch it as it comes offshore. does it impact the northeast. but there is the mixed precip monday through wednesday. small shifts in this track will mean who gets what. but definitely a concern for our southern friends who are not used to the snow and ice. now here is that artic blast just giving you a heads up. it's going to feel like negative 2 in new york. single digits. in washington, d.c. negative 22 in chicago. so very, very cold next week. one of the coldest, if not the coldest inauguration in january. so, bundle up. >> brian: that's why god made under armor, right? >> janice: right. >> steve: long johns. we'll be on a roof. >> janice: you have been warned. >> steve: out in the wind. thanks, j.d. >> ainsley: brian is finally going to love my heater. >> brian: i am going to love the heater.

>> lawrence: just hours of day two confirmation hearing for president trump's pick for attorney general pam bondi begins, after we saw intense exchanges in yesterday's hearing. lucas tomlinson joins us from washington. good morning, lucas. >> good morning, lawrence. it got sporty with president-elect donald trump's pick to lead the justifiable department who says she wants to focus on crime not settling scores. here are the highlights are aware of any factual basis to investigate liz cheney? yes or no? >> senator, that's a hypothetical and i'm not going to answer that. >> no, no. it's not a hypothetical. >> you are all so worried about liz cheney, governor, you know what we should be worried about, the crime rate in california right now is through the roof. >> ms. bondi. >> your robbery is 87% higher than the national average. >> your job will be, i'm speaking. your job will be to protect voters. i hope you answer, ms. bondi now when we met yesterday. >> previous one, senator.

you pointed your finger at me and said you were speaking let me answer my question. i'm not going to be bullied by you, senator. >> if president-elect trump asks, suggests or hints that you as attorney general should investigate one of his perceived political enemies would you do so? >> senator hirono, i wish you had met with me. had you met with me, we could have discussed many things and gotten to. >> i'm list listen to be to youw could you respond to the question. >> you were the only one who refused to meet with me, senator. >> ted cruz says he doesn't want to see a republican department of justice or a democratic department of justice. he just wants a justice department that, quote: follows the damn law. steve? >> steve: justice for all, maybe. thank you very much, lucas. >> steve: meanwhile 6:# 2 in new york city. we have a fox news alert. after israel of hamas benjamin

netanyahu says its approval son pause and is accusing hamas of backtracking on parts of the agreement our next guest says president biden was so desperate to take credit he did so before it was done. fox news contributor marc thiessen is here to explain. marc, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you know, and we did hear joe biden yesterday essentially take credit for the deal. all the credit for the deal three times. donald trump's team. steve witkoff in particular has been on the ground and he is really the guy who instilled in both sides when donald trump comes in, he means business. get it wrapped up now. >> exactly. look, everything that this president touches turns to gahanna know. he had address scheduled and wanted to take credit and burnish his legacy in final moments afound in a deal that isn't fully cooked yet. it's just peak. he said that he negotiated it

based on his plan that he outlined 8 months ago and the new administration would implement it. what changed from 8 months ago? what changed is that donald trump said if they don't release the hostages by the time he takes office all hell will break loose in the middle east. and iranians and hamas are more afraid of that than they are of joe biden. that's why we are even close to a deal right now. so the idea that somehow this is a master stroke of final diplomacy by joe biden is the last pathetic lie of one of the most dishonest and terrible presidencies in my lifetime. >> steve: the jerusalem post is reporting at this hour that it sounds like hamas wants some last-minute changes and benjamin netanyahu is saying nope, we are standing firm. so that's why they are at loggerheads right now. in the meantime, let's talk a little bit about last night. joe biden gave 18-minute very 2k3wreu78 farewell speech. i was shocked. never mentioned them by name. no president is above the law,

essentially. >> be careful with tech rich pals. the tech guy. they are trouble industrial complex. joe biden came into office hoping to be a new fdr now leaving office hoping to be the new eisenhower. he is really the new jimmy carter. jimmy carter lived to 100. see somebody remembered as the worst president in american history it wasn't him. the idea that joe biden was defeated by new oligarchy. he was defeated by working class americans whose lives he made a disaster through the first inflation in four decades. the highest gas prices in american history. the worst crime wave since the 1990s. the worst border crisis in american history and the worst foreign policy debacle in afghanistan that set the world on fire with war. that's why he lost because working class voters turned against the tech executives who

had been backing him his entire presidency and the tech executives are trying to catch up with the american people. there is no deck industrial complex backing the republicans. weave had one social media company with twitter with elon musk when he took over and turned it to x. he had everything else in his corner and is he worried about a tech industrial complex? >> steve: a little crazy. marc, thank you very much for joining us from the d.c. area. >> thank you. >> steve: all right. 25 minutes before the top of the hour. fox news alert. israel has delayed its vote to approve the cease-fire deal while hamas says it remains commit the sounds like they want to change the terms. next guest many many holding out hope for his son being held hostage somewhere in gaza. ♪

already of trying to back out of the terms. phase one of the deal which is set to start on sunday, major points are they require israel to release more than 100 palestinian terrorists in jail right now in exchange for less than 10 hostages, including some americans. our next guest's son 19-year-old itay hen is one of the seven americans taken hostage on october 7th his father ruby hen joins from you israel. last night we booked you we thought we would be talking about phase one underway. now on pause. what's the sense in israel about the pause? do you think this is normal hiccups at the end or does it look like a major impasse? you never want i think the framework put in place by the biden administration and we want to thank at this point the nfc

special coordinator for the middle east as well as mr. steve witkoff the president trump special adviser to the middle east. both of them have been working in sync and spending a lot of time and doing what they can to put this in place the pressure the trump administration has been on significant. pretty clear it will happen. my concern is about the second phase, which is a bit unknown there are 42 days until we get to that second phase. there are 16 days before we even start negotiating about that second phase. and the only thing that is predictable enough about the middle east is that it's unpredictable. and that's why i would hope to believe my advocacy is for the party to do as much as possible disclose all components or most of the components possible to make sure that we get to the

finish line. >> some were saying this must be because the deal is favorable to them. how do you view it. >> i think people have been on a lot of humanitarian -- humanitarian crisis they have been used as human shields by the savages. the terrorist organization that claims to be be on their side. but, when you look at what happened over the last 10 years. all the money that we gave to them, where did that money go to? did it go to build hospitals? >> brian: never. >> no. these people are suffering. they, i believe, think that now the international community would come in and get hamas out of the way. kick them out and have someone that actually will take care of them. >> brian: so we don't know the fate of your son. we do know he is one the younger

ones which would be the last phase, we imagine. tom cotton put that out on twitter. he said here's the deal to offer hamas. iran, you have five days to release all the hostages he goes to their iran and hamas. you have five days to release all the hostages or reunleash hell. that should be it. your thoughts about the senator from arkansas' belief? >> mr. cotton has been advocate of us from day one. we -- the u.s. families coming in to washington almost every month have built a good relationship but both sides of the aisle and senator cotton has always been on our side. i think people we all have been waiting for a long time. the language coming out of the white house has been insufficient. that is the type of rhetoric we have been hearing from the white house a long time ago that have been citizens taken hostage.

five of them came out. i would like to remind you another fact. when we see those at 47. everyone thinks of president trump. but you know 47 also has another meaning for me. that is a number of u.s. citizens killed by hamas. that is the largest single attack on u.s. citizens. if you want to take 9/11 1980s. i would like to have the people of the united states where is the justice for 47 people? >> i hear you. thanks so much ruby, hopefully you get good news today or the first phase. >> i just will add that the u.s. families president trump inauguration very nice gesture inviting us. and i have my small little that i do hope president trump when is he on the podium would be able to say to the u.s.

families, your family, your kid, is he coming back home. >> brian: that would be great. and we still got -- we got a few days to get that done and hopefully we will. thank you so much, ruby, we appreciate it? >> thank you. have a good day and god bless. >> brian: all right. more "fox & friends" in just a moment.ay ♪ a

are already being kept. the biden administration rushing to get this done first is a real sign of the impact president trump and bobby kennedy have had. >> ainsley: why has it taken so long? you say 95% of usda is paid for by food companies. is that the reason? >> president trump and bobby kennedy not trying to come in and do command and control regulations. but they are going to look at the conflicts of interest. it's absolutely unacceptable that the usda to this day doesn't even look at the chemicals in our food. it's self-regulation. again, chemicals not allowed in europe. the fact our dietary glidges recommend added sugar as a healthy part of a 2-year-old's diet. the fact that the usda guidelines as you just said 19 out of 20 of the members that make our guidelines are paid by

food or pharma companies. >> ainsley: could you fire that panel? >> trump can throw the recommendations that biden made in the trash, which declare war on american ranchers and say meat isn't healthy which literally say to this day that ultra processed food can be healthy. can be a healthy part of a 2-year-old's daughter that 91% of ultra processed food in a child's diet can be healthy. these are marketing documents for ultra processed food. and we can all agree that let's get the science right. let's get dei out of the science. they are saying it actually is too expensive for americans to afford healthy food. that kids all they can do is eat all that processed food. before we do any public policy what bobby trump and president trump has said science. inauguration day cannot come soon enough. this is absolutely doable. we have the ability in america to not poison our kids. we have the ability in america to work with our farmers. to be healthy. yes, this is doable.
