>> steve: all right, it is 8:00 in new york city. it is currently 25 degrees. >> lawrence: it's cold. >> steve: warmer than inaugural day. welcome to "fox and friends," this friday, january 17th, 2025. busy week of confirmation hearings wrap up today with dhs pick kristi noem. we are live with chad pergram on the hill in 60 seconds. >> brian: plus, joe biden giving his final television interview and another warning as president. >> i really am concerned about how fragile democracy is. that sounds corny. >> ainsley: and remember this viral campaign moment? the man that made it all happen will join us live ahead of the inaugural parade debut. >> lawrence: final hour of "fox

and friends" starts right now. fox news alert. this morning trump's pick for homeland security nominee south dakota governor kristi noem is set to be on capitol hill as senate confirmation hearings continue. >> brian: chad pergram is live from the capitol. hi, chad. >> chad: think what goes under department of homeland security. you have fema, there will be questions about how they responded to hurricanes in south in florida and carolina and how they respond to wildfires in california. secret service is under dhs, there were issues with assassinat assassination attempts of president trump. two last year. that will be an issue of concern and also the border. dusty johnson knows his governor well. >> kristi noem is my governor, so i have seen her lead our

state during times of terrible tragedy and she's pretty good at it. she understands how to make tough decisions and al allocate resources. >> chad: they will look at kristi noem and there are concerns about heightened terror threat after the attack on new orleans and cyber truck that exploded at trump hotel in las vegas. >> you have a simple job, secretary of homeland security, keep americans straight. i don't want those people in this country. i want my family and your family to be safe, that is what she'll do. >> chad: democrats know they can't block controversial nominees without gop help, they can slow them down. democrats want to pin down nominees in the hearing, that is to create a record if they f

falter later. >> if some of the nominees fail on the job, it will haunt our republican colleagues because warnings will have been there from the start. >> chad: thune will introduce kristi noem, he is new senate majority leader. we don't think kristi noem will be in first traunch of nominees to go to the senate floor. they will probably do one or two nominees on monday night, that will probably be marco rubio, who is up for secretary of state. >> brian: what about other dates, chad? is there intentional reluctance to put them on the board or paperwork reason we don't have dates next to some names? >> chad: it takes time. you have to have a hearing and a committee mark-up on inauguration day, you have to get out of committee and discharge for the floor.

some nominees will require debate on the floor, probably have to overcome filibuster on pete hegseth, that will take three to five days on the floor alone. >> steve: wow. >> brian: what? >> chad: it is arduous. >> lawrence: you don't expect pete hegseth to be confirmed on inauguration day? >> chad: absolutely not, no, there will be a filibuster, they lowered the bar some years ago, this was done by harry reid, he lowered it from 60 to 51 votes. there is time that has to burn off there. they will try to do low-hanging fruit first and marco rubio falls into that category and probably john ratcliffe for cia director, he was confirmed before, maybe him on monday or tuesday. >> steve: question for you, you mentioned pete hegseth, before his nomination hearing democrats were complaining that the fbi did not interview enough people,

that the investigation was too short. are they giving the fbi more time or looking deeper into people than they did with earlier ones? >> chad: some of this paperwork was not completed. kristi noem's confirmation hearing was scheduled for wednesday, they did not have paperwork finished, it was pushed back until today. a little secret about how fbi background checks work. the client is president-elect trump and the transition team. they ask questions on behalf of them, this is not an independent type of investigation they do here. some republicans and some democrats don't think background checks are as thorough as they could or should be. >> ainsley: so many nominees, on average, when are all the seats filled? how many months or weeks does it take? >> chad: probably a couple

months. last cabinet secretary confirmed for president by biden, marty walsh, confirmed march 22 of 2001, there was one confirmation for him on inauguration day, director of national intel intelligence. they did two for president trump in 2015, james madis, and james kelly. one or two on inauguration day. in case of biden, they did defense secretary lloyd austin the next day. ittic tas time. there are 800 total confurthermorations. ambassador will be an issue. hukstra. do you know when ambassador from canada took his seat in ottowa, december of 2021, a lot going on with canada and incoming trump

administration. they could step on the gas and do this. some people ask, noncontroversial nominees, why don't they do a traunch and move them across the floor right away. they could, that is unanimous consent. democrats would demand a roll call vote because they want to be on the record saying we voted for some of these nominees, we voted for john ratcliffe, maybe pam bondi, we worked in a bipartisan fashion and they can stand up say against pete hegseth. >> steve: chad, very thorough, thank you for explaining how it works. we did not realize there could be filibuster with pete. >> ainsley: chad is an e encyclopedia, last person confirmed and date. >> steve: he is an ensicycloped when it comes to bourbon, as

well. you heard me. >> chad: scotch, not bourbon. >> steve: whiskey to me. sean conenery. there is a difference in bourbon and skcotch. congress passed a resolution in 1964, bourbon is not exclusive to kentucky. >> steve: look at him. >> lawrence: i love him. >> brian: you know your spirits. it was weird, we were talking in front of him. >> steve: good reporter. >> brian: if you tell me how great i am, i will smile, if that happens. >> steve: from capitol hill to the white house, joe biden gave his final interview as president last night on msnbc. >> ainsley: senior white house correspondent peter doocy joins us now.

>> peter: what people love about joe biden forever, he was an open book and joked he would get in trouble because he says what he means and means what hes. he has had nothing to say about nancy pelosi's role in squeezing him out, big part of the reason he was removed from the ticket. the exit interview did not ask about her. we have a brand new window into the way chuck schumer helped get rid of biden just published about a meeting in rohobeth delaware. you get five yesses, really, mr. biden responded mr. schumer told him, you know i know my caucus and biden nodded. democrats elevated someone who never got a primary vote to the top. biden said real threat to

democracy is in the future. >> i really am concerned about how fragile democracy is. what i'm worried about is that the thing that keeps it on track are the guardrails that there is supreme court that is independent, but accountable. there is a congress that is you speak your mind, you are held accountable to basic standard and presidency that says you have limited powers. you're the top dog, you can't dictate everything. i don't know, we seem to be chipping away at those elements. >> peter: later this afternoon, president biden will deliver remarks to mayors and will go to st. andrews. he is going to thank the air

force one and marine one crews or welcome a special guest, we have not been told yet. >> steve: interesting stuff. quick question, that was his last interview, nobody has gotten joe biden to say more about stuff he did not want to say than you did. you were constantly barking questions at him and most famously you yelled at him about inflation and he called you a stupid sob. this is your last friday at biden white house, we can tell the story now, he called you when you were live on special report with bret baier and told you something nobody knows. >> peter: he did. i can say this now because it never happened. he called me and initially told me it is nothing personally, pal, he said a bad word. he said and this was at the tail end of covid, he said he would have me in for lunch when it was

safe. his lunch card is probably filled, it never happened. it was never safe to have lunch with me. >> steve: no kidding. when jen psaki left, you famously took a picture with her and you asked her, he will remember about lunch, right? >> peter: the lunch never happened, i've told many people about the lunch, it never happened. fridays i'm out of leftovers, we're out here. >> steve: if somebody from the white house is uch watching, you are available to have lunch with the president? >> peter: i don't know how many tvs are turned on in there. people don't want to watch what is happening. a lot of picture frames are empty, i don't know, empty picture frames and turned off

tvs inside right now. >> steve: thank you for revealing that big secret he promised you lunch and never did it. >> peter: promise broken. >> ainsley: the pony soldier -- >> peter: he said i was a one-horse pony. i will always try. i have not covered the trump white house much, but covered him over 10 years or so, very interested to see what kind of creative nicknames he could come up with. if he's watching now, he has a plane ride to think of it. >> steve: if donald trump invited you to lunch, you would have lunch, just saying. >> peter: mr. president, i will be here on monday. if obama and clinton and biden are going to skip your inaugural lunch, i'm free. >> brian: at mar-a-lago, mayor adams will meet with donald

trump at mar-a-lago. he told tom homan he'll be cooperative best he can in sanctuary city rules. there was meetings yesterday how to new york city and no one told the mayor. he has low approval ratings and a couple indictments, he seems to have one over donald trump, they are going through similar legal battles. >> lawrence: this is mayor adams spokesperson. mayor adams made it clear willingness to work with president trump on behalf of new yorkers and partnership with federal government is critical to new york city's success. the mayor looks forward to having a conversation on how to move our city and country forward and tom homan, we had him on after the meeting with mayor adams. he said he sounded like a cop again, talked about cleaning up the city.

that famous meeting. that guy is over ice for new y york. i don't think we've seen a photo with ice in new york, they don't honor it right now, they don't do deportations, ice is not able to do that. >> ainsley: there are rumors the indicted mayors trying for a pardon, that is why he's meeting with the president-elect. his teams it shows willingness to work with the president. he is charged with bribery and wire fraud and donald trump said at the al smith dinner, he thinks adams was unfairly targeted and treated. do we have that sound bite? can we play it? >> mayor adams, good luck with everything, they went after you, mayor. boy, i knew that.

nine and a half months ago i said, he said something about the administration, he will be indicted any moment. guess what happened, but you are going to win, i know you are going to win, good luck. >> steve: did he go to mar-a-lago to ask for a pardon? one of the people who will face him in the primary in june, brad lander, new york city comptroller said mayor adams needs to state he will not accept a pardon from president trump. >> lawrence: he does not need a pardon. pam bondi can go in and drop the charges, has not gone to trial yet. it can go away. >> brian: he was in long island and met with bruce blakeman, who is tight with president trump, r runs nassau county.

and three days later going to mar-a-lago, watch that soap opera play out. 17 after the hour, carley shimkus. >> carley: important update, this fox news alert, israeli security cabinet is recommending the israeli government approve current ceasefire and hostage release after yesterday's vote postponed. the deal heads to the full government for approval, that is expected later today or tomorrow at the latest. the deal promises to release hostageses including sagui dekel-chen in exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners in israel. if israeli government approves, releases will start this sunday. president biden giving parting gift to people convicted of nonviolent drug charges, commuting their sentence days before he leaves the white house. i have now issued more

individual pardons and commutations than any president in u.s. history. i will continue to review addition additional commutations and pardons. staffers are asking for a shorter work week, writing in house and senate, we write to encourage you to consider adopting a proposal to increase staff retention in congress and model more sustainable approach to work on national level by adopting a 32-hour work week for staff on a rotating basis. you can accomplish these goals, staffers work long hours at level of rigor that regularly leads to burnout. good luck with that. finally president biden will not enforce the looming tiktok ban he signed into law last year leaving the app's fate in hands of president trump.

the trump team is weighing options to save the app when he takes office on monday. those are headlines. >> steve: tiktok, tiktok. >> ainsley: 32-hour work week, not going to happen. tiktok clock ticking. really good writing. >> lawrence: it was good. >> ainsley: wasn't mine clearly. governor kristi noem set to face senators for confirmation hearing to lead dhs. >> steve: jay johnson led that during obama's presidency and jay will be on the couch next.

now. is that true? that statement, is the border more secure right now than 2019? >> if you look at the numbers of apprehensions, yes. 2019 was a low number. it began to creep up toward end of 2019 and into 2020, saw high numbers and of course saw higher numbers '21, '22, '23. >> lawrence: you don't judge secure border strictly by apprehensions -- >> no, you don't, you have to look kwqualitatively at who is crossing our border, from what countries, venezuela or helpless women and children in guatemala and honduras, there is kw qualitative aspect. thank you for interviewing my

life-long friend martin king yesterday. >> steve: great interview. >> ainsley: he was great. what did you think of markle saying on npr, if you don't agree with administration you are working for, should you step down? >> no, because any administration, whether it is obama, biden, trump, needs diversity and range of opinion. when i was in office as secretary of dhs, i made no significant decision on enf enforcement policy without having in the room tom homan, who worked for me, kevin mcelwin, two pro-enforcement guys and two people on the other side of spectrum, one worked for ted kennedy and the other for z o lofgren. if they gave honest views, we had wise decisionmaking going

on. >> steve: that is kind of what donald trump is doing, bringing all different viewpoints. he does not want to hear everybody say, boss, you are brilliant. >> i hope so, role of cabinet officer has four jobs, one, you are ceo of a very large government agency. two, you represent, you bring the president's political agenda toureiocabinet department, three, you are a champion for that department, four, as a member of the cabinet, you tell a president things he or she might not want to hear. i think that is fundamental, i promised myself in the cabinet, i was going to tell the president what i thought he needed to hear. i would get a raised eyebrow, really, jay? it is fundamental for a president to have --

>> brian: you did a mini-obama impersonation. kristi noem will take questions. that department is as big, you say not as big as pentagon, it is different from secret service and fema, what should she be prepared for today? you can't spend your time as congressman and get know what you are getting into? >> if you are a governor, you have that experience. it feels big, fema, secret service, coast guard, immigration, cyber security, it feels big but it is fraction of the size of department of defense. it feels big because of mission. key to running a place like that, make sure there are good leaders doing their jobs, make sure they are adequately funded and there is adequate oversight. creation of dhs in 2001 was

political compromise. >> brian: lieberman's idea. >> some respects did not go far enough, other respects went too far. political compromise based on notion terrorism was extra territorial threat. one cabinet regulates how someone comes into this country, land, sea and air, you will have dealt with terrorism. that is now outdated model. >> ainsley: you worked for obama and still friends with him, what is relationship between barack obama and donald trump. at the funeral, they were talking and -- >> i have no idea. >> ainsley: what about michele, she did not -- >> i did not have one of these, no idea. >> steve: can we call them? do you have your phone? >> no. >> lawrence: seriously, as we conclude here, what changed? you guys were known as deporter

in chief and alejandro mayorkas was your deputy at the time. what changed from that period of time from that name to now? >> well, i'll answer this way. i believe that an effective immigration policy in this country encompasses several things at once, which most people don't want to hear, border security, secure border, consistent with values of our country, treating people who are here, committed no crimes, are essentially honest people, treating them in fair and humane manner, giving them opportunity to come out of shadows, be accountable, pay taxes, get on the books. if you have kids who are u.s. citizens, i think we can do several of those things at once.

americans are entitled to know we're working to secure our border. >> brian: right, first, and go from there, maybe a one-term president, that is what donald trump will be, maybe helet do kocomp hencive immigration refo. thank you so much. >> steve: pleasure. >> ainsley: joe biden's final television interview as president, that is next. kd residence w with skyrizi, 'n with clearer skin. ♪ things are getting clearer ♪ ♪ ♪ yeah... i feel free ♪ ♪ to bare my skin yeah that's all me. ♪ ♪ ♪ nothing is everything ♪ ♪ with skyrizi 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. and most people were clearer even at 5 years. skyrizi is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. don't use if allergic. serious allergic reactions, increased infections, or lower ability to fight them may occur. before treatment, get checked for infections and tb.

am concerned because you have heard me say a hundred times, we are at an inflection point in history. >> brian: day after he sent a message and one fan said this, jen psaki praised her old boss for putting the trump team on notice because she said we are in danger of being run by oligarchs, tech titans. dana perino is here. do you praise joe biden for putting america on notice? >> dana: i tried doing the speeches, i did the commentary, you want to say nice job, sir, i know you love your country, you served it well, it must hurt that the country rejected you. i am listening to the speech and i'm like, what is he talking

about. one thing about putting tech people on notice, what did mark zuckerberg say about this white house when jen psaki was press secretary, the team at the white house was calling and screaming at facebook executives telling them to take this stuff down, like for example covid-19 vaccination information. that went to supreme court. now they don't like tech giants. is there self-interest? sure. they are responding to will of the people and believe that free speech needs to be protected, that is danger to democracy. >> brian: mark zuckerberg, whatever motives, they were forced out of that party, had no choice. today mayor of new york city will be in mar-a-lago after he met mayor adams with tom homan about a way to cooperate even though we're in a sanctuary city. how significant is this?

>> dana: eric adams wanted to do more on the migrant front. he has a sanctuary city, he was there shaking hands and welcoming the migrants, it is complicated. could president trump help new york unlike biden refused to? maybe. having relationship and having power to convene a meeting is important, i don't think that necessarily leads to a pardon for him, he has problems outside of ones we've heard it. >> brian: interesting, he has nowhere else to turn. >> dana: great to see if the city can do something about migrants, hotels, lots of things degraded, quality of life down, we have to fix that. >> brian: what is coming up on your show? >> dana: kristi noem, nominee for department of homeland security and her hearing starts at 9:00, we'll have hot-button issues for that one. >> brian: any cabinet nominee

that should be worried about getting confirmed that has testified? >> dana: no. >> brian: what about down the pike? >> dana: possibly. josh hawley said he's never seen democrats this unprepared for hearings, only person more unprepared is you and that is a shot because you took a shot at me during the commercial break. he said he prefer to have bill hemmer. >> brian: escort dana out of this, how dare she.

the rally out there for them. >> ainsley: amazing. how cool is this? he is always for the blue collar worker. you are vice president of the company load master. you will be here inauguration day. how are you feeling about all this and what was it like to be in the front seat with donald trump? >> pretty excited to be there. it's getting ready to fly out this morning, going to spend the weekend at d.c. getting things ready for the parade and have several other trucks out there for the liberty ball. very cool experience being part of the green bay rally and driving donald trump in the truck and being able to meet him. >> lawrence: andrew, tell us about when you got the opportunity to be with the president. what was he like? of course, this was before the election. now he has won and the president-elect right now. what was the man trump like

that? >> didn't get too much of an opportunity to talk to. a little bit of conversation. he seemed like you could sit down and have a conversation with. it seemed like a normal person. >> ainsley: how did you outfit the truck to make it look like that? >> the campaign team had someone down in the green bay area put together the magnets that we put on the side of the truck. picked up some things down there and once they got down to green bay put everything together. >> lawrence: why did you decide to support donald trump? what was the issue that attracted you to this campaign? >> the biggest thing like a lot of people, just a lot of conversation about just the state of the economy and the inflation and just the cost of everything i guess probably the biggest factor. number of other issues as well,

too, but i this i the economy is the biggest issue in my mind. >> ainsley: are you excited about being with him again? >> yeah, very excited. i don't know if i'll get the opportunity to see him again but be part in the event and parade is very exciting. >> lawrence: do you plan on bringing your family with you or are you going alone with the truck? >> i'll be in the truck. >> ainsley: andrew, we wish you the best. do you have warm gear? you need a good coat, gloves. you are used to that though, right? >> i think next week it is supposed to be even colder up here than d.c. i am pretty well prepared for it. >> lawrence: congratulations. we'll see you there. we'll be there. >> sounds good. >> lawrence: thank you for joining us. we'll be live sunday, monday and tuesday live from d.c. >> bill: good morning. there is a blitz of confirmation hearings throughout the week. we'll resume in a moment
