our economic partnership keeps millions of americans working. we're here, right by your side. [title: ontario, canada] [title: ontario.ca/partner] [title: paid for by the government of ontario] >> greg: we are out of time. tom shillue, johnny joey jones, andrew gruel, kat timpf, studio audience. "fox news at night" is next. i'm greg gutfeld, i love you, america. [cheering and applause] >> trace: good evening, i'm trace gallagher, 11:00 p.m. on the east coast, 8:00 in los angeles and this is

america's late news, "fox news at night". i do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states. >> trace: breaking tonight, the winds of change once again making it too cold in the nation's capital to hold a presidential inauguration outside. just like 40 years ago when president ronald reagan was sworn in for the second time. president-elect donald trump announcing the decision today on truth social. we will show you what this means for the big day in moments. plus, another trump nominee holding her own in a confirmation hearing today. kristi noem the likely future homeland security secretary making clear what the priorities of that department will be. >> over 300,000 -- went missing during the biden administration. >> let's put aside. >> i can't put aside 340,000

children. >> trace: those priorities will take effect immediately. "the new york post" saying the trump administration will kick off a major deportation operation 1 day after taking the helm. >> this is finally -- they are going to do their job. we will take the handcuffs off i.c.e. and they will arrest criminal aliens. >> trace: meantime tiktok officially on track to go dark this sunday with the supreme court refusing to reverse a ban on the chinese-owned social media platform, unless of course trump steps in. the latest on that in moments. but first, senior national correspondent kevin corke live in the nation's capital with more on the last minute changes to the inauguration. >> reporter: be sure to bring your park city park up because monday's forecast in the nation's capital is calling for a high of just 23 degrees at a low of just ten. what's more, brutal winds are expected to really whip things up across the city making

temperatures feel more like they are going to be in the single digits, which is why this inauguration day is moving inside. employees with just 72 hours to move the set up inside. lawmakers are -- their offices have even less time than that to tell their constituents some of you won't be able to attend. no crowing about crowd sizes this time as barely more than 2000 people are expected to pack the capitol rotunda for the cold-weather inaugural ceremony backup plan. which we have not seen since ronald reagan in 1985, and for those of you wondering the last time it happened before that was 76 years before that for william taft in 1909. so there. the president-elect writing on truth social, i don't want to see people hurt or injured in any way, it's dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of law enforcement, first responders, police canines, even horses back and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside

for many hours on the 20th. he's basically telling you, too cold to be out. still there will be celebration sunday. the campaign is having a rally at capital one arena and of course there will be a myriad of presidential balls all across the city as well. of course all day live coverage beginning monday at 5:00 a.m. here on fox. i will be there. >> trace: 11:00 p.m. on sunday for us. i will bring my park city parka. live in d.c., see you tomorrow. let's bring in former obama fund-raiser and former democrat allison huynh along with former la g.o.p. vise chair and daily wire actor siaka massaquoi. thank you for coming on. allison, what do you think of the inauguration going indoors because the first time in 40 years, a lot of people are disappointed about this. >> i'm with president trump. i think he has americans safety at heart. of course the wealthy donors

always sit behind the president and it's he did and it's the people who are outside who are just working class middle-class people and moving it indoors to capital one arena shows that he really cares about working-class middle-class supporters of his. >> trace: a lot of people are still angry because they spent a lot of money to go out there and see the inauguration action. siaka, incoming press secretary karoline leavitt said this about trump's day one agenda. >> i can confirm there will be more than 100 executive actions that are taken on day one by our new commander in chief to fundamentally change the federal government, to secure our southern border, to unleash the might of our american energy industry and to restore common sense policies back to the federal government here in washington, d.c. >> trace: all you can say is wow. 100 plus executive orders, that's the definition of hitting the ground running.

>> yeah, he has his agenda ready, you've seen it being lined up over the last few weeks. it's kind of sad to a certain extent that he has to do something like 100 executive orders because our government has been so broken and so feckless for so long. we are just so excited. we have around 72 plus hours and things are going to change. america is back and i'm here to welcome the golden age, let's go. >> trace: it's going to be fascinating to watch. meantime, there's some weirdness going on in the politics. a big donor, the cofounder of openai, longtime democratic donor, allison knows him well, also personally donated $1 million to the trump inauguration fund. but senators elizabeth warren and michael bennet from colorado are now sending him a letter. they want answers. they want answers and allison, some of what they said in the letter is "these donations raise

questions about corruption and the influence of corporate money on the trump administration and the public deserves answers." the question is, what answers do they want? this is a private donation and when he donated all of that money to democrats for all of those years, the republicans never sent him a letter asking what in the world he's doing. >> i totally agree. by all intents and purposes he's an executive at microsoft. they don't formally acquire openai because they would be broken up as a monopoly. so openai and microsoft, bill gates has given millions, probably hundreds of millions to the democratic party and they've been given the ai monopoly and an out trump comes in and is opening up the gates of ai, crypto and technology so all-americans can benefit. so we no longer are, like, crowning the prince of ai, of search engines, that's what obama and clinton did with google social media, facebook. now it's a free market and i'm really excited about the golden

age of innovation under president trump. >> trace: meantime the supreme court upheld the tiktok band today. said they can ban it. but jonathan turley said the following here. >> this is an incredibly significant opinion for the law as well as for society. this is one of the most popular apps. it's not going to go in front of a president who is a fan of this site. he has said so in the past. it was integrated into his campaign. >> trace: so we know he's a fan but does he push back, you think he sets this thing right? >> well, i mean, right and wrong is going to be an eye of the beholder. people forget this is not a free-speech issue, it's a security issue. because it's controlled by china. we know how the ccp works. i don't know if trump comes in and pushes it. if he does i want him to push for a more friendly ally to own

it because we've seen what their algorithm does to our country. tiktok does not allow basically any type of american influence into china but over here they only kind of push a sense of degradation and decency so it's going to be that 200 billion-dollar worth algorithm that i think he's going to have to hopefully find someone to get it. if not we start with a new one. we are america, we can do it. >> trace: we will find out in a few days. siaka massaquoi, allison huynh, thank you both. ♪ ♪ the "fox news @ night" common sense department would like to note that in one of his last comments as president, joe biden told the conference of mayors that "i've kept my commitment to be the president for all of america." which prompted common sense to raise an eyebrow or two. after all, this is the same joe biden who called trump supporters garbage, the same joe biden who said trump supporters were dangerous and a threat to democracy. the very same joe biden who in

his last interview as president could not resist taking yet another swing at conservatives, saying that red states "really screwed up in terms of the way they handle their economy." keep in mind the majority of voters say joe biden screwed up the economy. but the red states cannot decide which is worse, the fact that biden called them out or the fact that he failed to check the facts. because the numbers show that when it comes to recovering jobs since covid, 16 of the top 20 states have republican governors, are controlled by republican legislatures. analytics says when it comes to the value of goods and services, employment, retail sales and new home listings, 11 of the top 15 states are read. common sense thanks it's sad to the joe biden will always be remembered for his garbage comment when the truth is many of his comments are garbage. let's bring in the daily news anchor jeff vaughn and

"new york post" reporter lydia moynihan. great to see you both, thank you for coming on. here's the biden red state remark, here's what he said and i will get your take on this, jeff. >> red states really screwed up in terms of the way they handle their economy and the way they handle and you factoring and the way they handle access to supply chains. >> trace: it's pretty simple, he can't help but take one more quick swipe before he leaves. >> partisan into the very end. he's trying to establish his legacy and say that he was the president for all-americans but as you mentioned he really wasn't. for those who refused to take the covid shot, he was not there president. if you are pro-life he was not your president, wasn't a president if you are nonunion. it comes down to him wanting to rewrite history and wanting to have his legacy in a situation where it doesn't really pass the smell test. >> trace: meantime radar online saying this, "the view hosts told to back off abcs

new golden girl carrie underwood. out with a major project on the horizon, underwood has become the darling of the network but not without controversy. insiders reveal that network executives have issued a strict directive to the views fiery panel, play nice. i mean it's not going to be easy when she sings for the president this monday for the girls on the view to be like she's so good. >> yeah i don't think they can bite their tongue but abc is not in a position to mess around right now. this is a network that had to settle a lawsuit with president trump because they defamed him. if you've noticed, sunny hostin has been reading more legal notes the last few months on the view. but i think this gets to a bigger question of how democrats cover this entire administration because last time it was all about the resistance. but i think people are getting really tired of that. these people who have cried will too many times, they've lost their credibility and i'm curious to see if they can try

and keep this up for four years or if maybe they learn a lesson and kind of change their tune and nowhere to pick their fights. >> trace: you would think that the credibility is so low now that people would be like i'm kind of skeptical, but apparently somebody somewhere is watching. is the tiktok ceo and i will get your comment. >> i want to thank president trump for his commitment to work with us to find a solution that keeps tiktok available in the united states. >> trace: a lot of people asking. it's a big platform. doesn't get a reprieve? >> i think it will. you are talking about the author of art of the deal and that's president trump and i think he will broker a deal. i think that will be good for america. i support the ban on tiktok if it deals with china and national security but i would like to see tiktok american company. there's billions of dollars that come through tiktok into american content creators. 170 million americans use that every single day and they use that every single day and i want that money to come through them

right here to make it american. >> trace: what about the national security impact? >> as long as it's no longer owned by china it's a good thing. it's offend american it safe. >> trace: meantime james carville said that the joe biden story is one of the great tragedies of american politics, i really mean that. he should be having a glorious well-deserved highly acclaimed retirement and he's not. it's hard to blame anybody but him. it is kind of true, james carville is hitting everybody on both sides as he walks out the door, but the question is is that joe biden really can't get out of his own way even in the final days. >> he's leaving office as one of the lowest rating presidents in history, one of the lowest approval ratings and it seems like in the final few days he's trying to rewrite history. he's basically attacking red states, trying to say that immigration and border crossings were lower under his watch and in an interview with lawrence o'donnell he was basically saying that any issues he faced

were just because he did not play politics the right way, too focused on policy. but clearly everyone is aware he's leaving. he's leaving at a very unpopular rating and we've seen this is really a wholesale repudiation of his entire administration. people voted overwhelmingly for president trump and to put republicans in both houses of congress and so frankly i think people are going to forget about him in a few days. >> trace: they just don't believe him anymore, that's part of the thing, they don't believe him. lydia moynihan, jeff vaughn, thank you. fire crews making progress but the santa ana winds that spread the fires in the first place might be headed back to la. jeff paul live in pacific palisades with the new information on this. >> reporter: trace, for the time being the winds have really died down out here and with the improving weather conditions, that has allowed firefighters to build on their containment lines on both fires.

but with the threat of those santa ana winds returning next week, there's really a sense of urgency. now on top of those added winds you have this behind me, a landslide. you can see the mud covering the street right here which would normally be a clear road in the pacific palisades. then beyond that, look at that home, quite literally damage from all of that land coming down from above. firefighters obviously have been putting a lot of water in this area due to those wildfires. when that happens, the soil gets loose and sometimes it can come crashing down and quite literally split a home in half. with the winter rains likely right around the corner this month, crews out here are preparing for more scenes like this. with the conditions so unsafe and unstable it's part of the reason why it's taking so long for folks to get back in and start assessing damage. >> it literally looks like a bomb dropped. there is thanks everywhere and we are trying, our people along

with our partners are doing the best job they possibly can. but there are areas right now that we have to hold people away from. >> reporter: the other reason why it's taking so long to allow residents to come back in is that there are crews out here right now going block by block, grid by grid searching for human remains. we know there are some missing people out there, several reports surfacing, 27 people killed so far between the two major wildfires that have been here so it's going to take some time. they have to make sure this area is secure, clear of toxins and they have to do that diligent work to search for any possible human remains unfortunately. >> trace: very quickly, any sign of a lot of the families who lost their homes coming back to look to sift through the rubble? >> you know, we haven't seen any out here. we are at the pacific palisades but i know in previous days we have seen lines of cars of people trying to get in. they really have the area locked

down. i've never seen so many police officers and national guard in a scene that i have in this particular one, trace. >> trace: a huge appetite to get going and rebuild. jeff paul live on scene as always, thank you. as chief kirkpatrick said we will be taking over the investigative lead for this event. this is not a terrorist event. what it is right now is they are improvised expose of devices that was found and we are working on confirming if this is a viable device were not. >> trace: fox news learning the fbi agent in charge of the new orleans new year's truck attack who claimed this was not a terrorist event has been temporarily reassigned. let's bring in former fbi special agent and fox news contributor nicole parker. great to see you. duncan the agent who said this was not a terrorist attack, she's been reassigned and i'm wondering what you think about that reassignment. >> what i think that is is the fbi is doing some serious damage control.

as if the eye -- the fbi does not already have a credibility issue, what she did just magnified it and made it substantially worse, if that was possible. but the fbi typically does, you would be shocked to hear but a lot of times individuals who we view as almost problem children or those who cause issues for the bureau, ironically many times they get promoted and sometimes they get promoted to get them out of the way and to move them out of causing more problems. in this instance i don't believe it's a promotion, i believe it's a reassignment and they are probably doing an internal investigation and maybe this is what prompted the fbi to realize that this is probably not someone we want as the face of our organization right now. this was an incident that americans needed to have the facts and it needed to be correct and for her to contradict what was being said by other individuals and to so definitively say this was not a terrorist attack when clearly it was, she needs to be reassigned. >> trace: it's interesting you

talk about promotions and so on. the fbi statement on closure of the dei office. in recent weeks the fbi took steps to close the office of diversity and inclusion effective by december 2024 but back in july the fbi director was asked about this dei hiring and he had this to say. >> i don't believe that we use dei as a primary hiring metric. i would say that we have not lowered our standards. if i could finish. it's not a "yes" or "no" question. we have not lowered our standards and the facts back that up. >> trace: he said it a couple of times. not lowered their standards. what do you say? >> i disagree because if you look at what the hiring standards used to be in the past when i joined the fbi and applied into thousand nine as to what it is now, they have drop the standards and the eligibility requirements have changed and they have been lowered and i know that the fbi does have statistics that they have to do, quota hires they

have to meet, they have to meet certain metrics and i can tell you that the director was a diversity agent recruiting event the week before the parkland school shooting in 2018 and he was so focused on diversity. it would've been nice if he'd been focusing on stopping a potential threat. the fbi had received a tip about that parkland school shooting prior to the event. i think what's most important is rather than focusing on hiring diverse agents, why are you focused on hiring the most qualified? meritocracy, the best and the brightest, because that's what americans want and deserve. >> trace: nicole parker, great to have you on as always, thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: coming up, how faith maybe the real mvp in monday's national college football championship between ohio state and notre dame. and later in the nightcap, president-elect donald trump announcing today that his inauguration will be moved indoors because of dangerously cold temperatures. was it the right decision or should they have kept it outside?

community roundtable director cata truss, thank you for coming on. you heard tom homan at the top giving a sound saying i.c.e. for the first time on tuesday will start doing it's job. what are your thoughts on his comment? >> i love it. they need to do their job, they want to do their job, they just needed and administration that would support them as they do their job. i was down in your area the last couple of days from the wall in san diego where it stops in those areas, we ran into a group there, we saw a bunch more people getting ready to cross over. we don't have any time to waste, they have to get to work. i love hearing that he's saying they will get to work. >> trace: meantime your city is battling over the sanctuary laws shielding illegal immigrants. here's a resident at a city council meeting and i want you to notice he's in a small box on the right-hand side, the right-hand corner and you will see a clock because they only have 3 minutes to talk. watch what he said.

>> this won't stop illegals. our babies will continue to be victims of crime, murder and things like drugs, gangs if you vote the democratic party in. i'm talking about, like, black people making the same mistake over and over again. don't complain when the streets aren't clean, don't complain when nothing is getting done because you are voting for people who don't care. >> trace: it's an angry city and with good reason. >> yes, we are all angry and let me just say that i agree with you, mark. i am excited to see tom homan come in and take office. i hope he does exactly what he says he's going to do. i also want them to begin paying attention. here in chicago, we would be remiss if we talked about, you know, you heard the gentleman talk about our mayor and talk about his lack of regard for the voices of the people. the people who have said we

don't want sanctuary city, the people who have said that we don't want to fund migrants, the people who have said we want tom homan to come here and we want to the people who are here illegally, we want to those criminals were released from those prisons and released here in the city of chicago, we want them gone home. we want tom homan and his administration to really stand up and be prepared to fight against the city of chicago and the board of education who is right now working to use our tax dollars to keep these illegal immigrants here in chicago. we actually have people who are set in place to educate them on how to avoid being picked up by i.c.e. and what world is not okay? >> trace: in no world. foxnews.com writes the following, lame duck biden's doj gives brutal gang leader sweetheart plea deal in murder

spree that killed seven. and that ms-13 gang leader organize the murder of a 16-year-old and her father said the following and i will get your comment. that's another big mistake that our current president biden has made but i'm not shocked, it's a slap in the face for my family and other families who have to live with the grief for the rest of their lives knowing that this demonic person is given a plea deal. it really is crazy that they would give any kind of deal to somebody who was orchestrating the death of a 16-year-old and six others. >> 100% agree. the american people have been the victim and this. families like there's have been the victims. the people in chicago. they are putting the illegals first and americans second or third or fourth way down on the line. a justice for that family would have been to take this guy out behind the court and hang him like they used to. that's what he deserved, that's what the families should have got. unfortunately that's not what

they can't. >> trace: when you hear that, when you hear they are giving special treatment and plea deals to people like this, you know, what does it tell you about the government? >> it tells us that we have a government that really does not care about it's citizens. it tells me that we have a government who feels like it's more important to push their agenda, whatever that might be, i still haven't quite figured that out yet, rather than taking care of citizens. the fact of the matter is, we are looking at our mayor, our city council protect people who have been in this country, we don't know who they are, we don't know where they are coming from, what walks of life they come from. we know that they come here and commit crimes. we know that they've been released after having committed crimes and we also know that when people go out and commit crimes and there's no punishment, they become more brazen, they become more apt to commit more crimes and that

means that crime is going to just fester. >> trace: we see it all the time. cata truss, sheriff mark lamb, thank you. college football's national championship game on monday night, notre dame against ohio state, featuring two quarterbacks who lean heavily on their faith. here's the chief religion correspondent, lauren green. >> when ohio state and notre dame battle it out on monday night, no matter who becomes the national champion, we get the feeling from the players that faith will be the ultimate victor. for notre dame players, they believe it wasn't the luck of the irish but trust in the lord that help them win big over penn state. >> i just started trusting the lord. i looked up and said jesus whatever your will is our trusty 100%. >> reporter: after ohio state beat oregon in the rose bowl the quarterback gave thanks to whom he said things was do. >> first and foremost i have to think my lord and savior jesus christ for giving me this opportunity to be on this stage and here in the rose bowl. >> reporter: coaches are

leading the way. notre dame's head coach reinstated the pregame catholic mass and there's a growing trend for athletes to share their faith with fans on social media like posting a simple thank you god and the buckeyes posting their t-shirt, jesus won. the fellowship of christian athletes says 90% of teams also have chaplains or spiritual guides to help players deal with the pressures of competing. notre dame's -- believes jesus had a hand in the two teams facing off. >> i believe that jesus, you know, was looking over both of our shoulders throughout the whole season and put, you know, these two teams on a pedestal for a reason. >> reporter: both teams say it's important to trust in god's plan for the game and despite what oddsmakers predict, no one knows what that is. >> trace: thank you. coming up, what's ahead for some la residents looking to rebuild after the fires? plus the people who have light amazing initiatives to help those victims will join us live onset. wait until you hear what they

>> trace: this is in your first rodeo either because you guys have gone out and helped a lot of other people. you are from florida. when they say we need transportation, have you ever said no? >> never. every time joe has a project, we are always there to help. on the proud owner of freight transportation group and every time john has a project we will always provide transportation. it doesn't matter if it's palestine or california or what it is, we are here to help. >> trace: when you talk about home, nothing says home like having your barber give you a head cut. these first responders need haircuts, police officers, even some fire victims. >> you are right. that's why am here. i did not even hesitate. john gave me told our notice, i booked my flight and here i am and today was a great day. tomorrow will be another great day. a lot of guys who missed out today because i was so busy so tomorrow we start off fresh and i will do as many as i can tomorrow. >> trace: when you see a line

of a couple dozen people out there, do you go i'm just one guy out here. >> i don't. i could do it pretty quick. a lot of skin fades. you work through it but you can see the guys, when i'm cutting hair, you can see the guys are waiting, anxious and liking what they see though it makes me feel good, you know, so it's a win for everybody. >> trace: it's a good deed you are doing. that's a whole thing, you guys are from florida, you've done this before. what compels you to come across the country to help people you don't know? >> i do it for love of country, it's called selfless service. i wish more people would take that mentality, we would be better off as a country, but when i see people in need i feel like i can help these people and i call on my network and my network provides the help that i need. water, food, haircuts, whatever it takes i'm willing to help american people. >> trace: and when you help these people, do you think that was worth it great. >> of course, is always worth it. seeing everybody, putting a smile on first responders face

is something that makes you happy. not just that, but our communities are not just in florida, our community's across america. this is what we are all about, the three of us here bringing america back, putting america together and california, don't forget florida is here to help. >> trace: there's no line of people needing a haircut, what are you doing? >> today it did not happen that way but i did go have something to eat and during that time people are coming up to me saying hey, i've seen you on social media, and it's good, you can console them. they brought issues going on too. they are away from their families. you just talk to them say hey, do you face time them, it makes them a little closer. it's limited time, a temporary situation. you are kind of like a therapist, that's what a barber is. you sit there and give therapy to who's ever in your chair. >> trace: when you say make america clean again clearly is a reference to trump.

give me ten seconds, what should people know about what you people are doing. >> that we care about the country, we put america and americans first, first responders first, that's the way it should go in this country, veterans first. this country was built on the back of veterans on first responders and we have to take care of those people, they mean so much to us, they put their lives on the line for us and i'm really going to do whatever it takes. >> trace: what should we know? >> exactly what joe said. tomorrow night i met the police officers gala at mar-a-lago, i'm always here to help, always to support our first responders. our drivers could not be more excited to come to california and deliver water and meet and then see the smile on everybody's face. i'm always going to be here for america. >> trace: ten seconds. >> i will just say i'm here to represent. ten barbers at my shop, i'm here representing all of them and every other barber in florida. i know they would be here if they could. that's how we operate. >> trace: thank you all.
