7:02 am
his calendar including what his team is calling a victory rally at a capital one arena in washington, d.c. which holds roughly 20,000 people. and then, of course finish the inauguration itself is on monday. and trump posted late last night on truth social, looking ahead to the historic weekend saying, quote, coming up, the most important weekend plus in american history. enjoy. now, mike, you mentioned this just a bit ago. here's what you can expect the day after the inauguration. the "wall street journal" reports i.c.e. will conduct a massive immigration raid if chicago. the incoming border czar, tom homan, told fox news it will happen in other cities as well. listen to this. >> there's going to be a big raid all across the country. chicago is just one of many places. we've got 24 field offices across the country. on tuesday you're going to expect i.c.e., i.c.e. is finally going to go out and do their job. we're winning to take the handcuffs off i.c.e. and met them arrest criminal aliens. that's what's going to happen.
7:03 am
>> reporter: make sure to catch our viewer -- interview with homan on "fox news live" at the top of the hour. new york city mayor eric adams continues to signal he will work with the trump administration on immigration at least as much as he can with new york city if's sanctuary laws. trump previously said he's considering giving adams a pardon for federal corruption charges. trump is also promising a decision soon on the future of tiktok. the ceo of the social media giant posted this message for trump after the supreme court upheld the ban of the app yesterday. >> i want to thank president trump for his commitment if to work with us to find a solution that keeps tiktok available in the united states. >> reporter: so trump said yesterday he spoke with china's xi jinping on the phone about tiktok as well as balancing trade and fentanyl coming from china. so the festivities and celebrations beginned today. the inauguration who days away,
7:04 am
but the work has been going on, and it continues for the president-elect. we'll send it back to you, mike. mike: busy weekend. nate foy starting us off live in west palm. thanks very much. to capitol hill where president-elect trump's swearing-in ceremony has been moved undoors due to bitter colr cold temperatures expected monday. david spunt has more. >> reporter: mike, good morning. the entire security plan was thrown out. that's the security plan that included an inauguration that was set to be outside on the west front of the capitol with tens of thousands of people outside, but that's all changed now because of the weather. still, though, there is a height ened security posture, and there are some changes that had been made. let's go to some video of some of the fencing that's a been up here in the nation's capital since earlier this week. we have the anti-climb fencing, that a black fencing that really layers on top of each other. you remember these fences were around before and long after the inauguration back in 2021.
7:05 am
but that was kind of an anomaly following the attack on the capitol january 6th, 2021. most of the fencing should come down after the inauguration. also signs seen all across the national mall to warn people to keep out of restricted areas. the fbi, the secret service, park police, d.c. police will continue to be on hand through the inauguration. now, mike, we joined the the secret service monday last week at their training facility in suburban maryland. interesting to see as they were walking with the presidential beast and other vehicles mt. motorcade, and you see -- in the motor decade. and you see one of the gentlemen in that red-orange vestst, it was labeled potus, president of the united states. that person role plague as the president of the united states with, assuming that the president was going to be -- meaning president trump -- would be walking outside of the limo on the parade route. but, mike, all of that has changed now given the fact that the inauguration's going to be inside. it's going to be bitterly cold.
7:06 am
officials don't want people outside in those teen degree temperatures. but still there will be a lot of security just in case they get a big crowd outside because people have planned to come here for many weeks now. mike? mike: we'll let you get back inside, david spunt. thanks very much. ahead of president-elect trump's inauguration, thousands of protesters are gathering right now in washington for the people's march. steve harrigan is at mcpherson's square here many washington with the details. gad morning, steve. >> reporter: morning, mike. the crowds are beginning to pour in here, and the big question is what kind of numbers are we going to see. eight years ago there were a million people out for the women's march the day after trump's inauguration. this year expecting very different numbers. the organizers asked for 50,000 permits. police say they expect just about 25 the ,000. so we'll see what kind of a you'd turns out. they're going -- crowd turns out. they're boeing to be in three different groups, meet many
7:07 am
three different parks. basically, pick your issue, when it's immigration, abortion rights or climate change. we talked to some people asking them why they're coming out today. >> i'm out here because i want to make sure that everyone knows that they are important, they are valued, they have a right to exist and to show that we can all get along together. there does not need to be so much hate in the world. >> reporter: these three groups are going to the march down towards the lincoln memorial. they're going to meet, hear speakers and songs. it should wrap with up early this afternoon. so far pretty quiet here. mike, back to you. mike: steve harrigan live in d.c., thanks a lot. as the new administration prepares to take office, what are republicans hoping the see from the president-elect on day one? if senate republican policy committee chair shelley moore capito of the great state of west virginia is with me now. senator, welcome. >> thank you, mike. thanks for having me on. mike: what dow -- do you anticipate day one from president trump? >> i anticipate he's going to be
7:08 am
very pleased because we had a historic number of hearings last week on his nominees. today testified well, they held up very well in some intense questioning. so i imagine that we will go to some, maybe have some nomination votes on the floor on monday. we expect the president to come out with some executive orders to undo some of the -- and you can see the biden administration is doing this all the way to the end -- undo some of the regulatory morass they've put on, some of the border issues. certainly, he'll go to border issues first. we will be passing the laken riley act which is not just symbolic, but substantive in terms of giving the president a good victory in right out of the gate in terms of border security and making sure that criminals are not out on the street if they're here illegally. so i think we're going to have a big day not only are we anxious to hear his message, then we're anxious to move forward with his agenda. mike: a big part will be how you
7:09 am
guys handle the so-called reconciliation package whether it's one big, beautiful bill as he's called it or two. do you think you can do it all in one bill? >> you know, i'm sort of agnostic as to whether we do one bill or two bills. i really prefer the two-bill strategy simply because i think we can do border, energy, defense more quickly and have, and put a win up on the board for the president and for the senate and the house. but if we have to pull it all together with taxes and other economic issues, i'm fine with that as well. i want a victory here many themes of a successful -- in terms of a successful outcome. do i think we can do it? i know we can do it. we have 53 republicans in the senate right now, and that's a strong number for us. the house has a slimmer margin, which is i think it's the first time the senate's had a bigger margin than the house. but we are working together. the speaker and the leader in the senate, senator thune, are working day and night to try and make sure we not just have the best strategy, but the best
7:10 am
policy too. mike: and to be clear, with taxes failure's not an option otherwise everybody in the country gets a huge tax increase. >> at the end of the year, everyone will get a huge tax increase. i voted for the 2017 tax bill that president trump put forward in his first administration, believe strongly that it then kickstarted our economy which was growing at a really fast pace before we, unfortunately, ran into covid. and i think those kinds of tax relief for everyday americans, we cannot let those lapse, and we won't. so it's just a matter of timing. the will is there. and with the president leading the way, i think we'll be very successful. mike: i also a wanted to get your thoughts on some of those confirmation hearings. i know you saw sean duffy who is the nominee for transportation secretary and epa pick lee zeldin. i'm curious, your thoughts on those specific hearings and if you've seen any trouble for any of the president's nominees so far. >> you know, for those particular nominees, lee zeldin,
7:11 am
the environment and public works, epa's a controversial, sometimes can be a controversial pick, and he answered every question, he has, you know, he's from the new york, he's from long island, he's had a lot of environmental issues in his own home district when he was in congress, so he had a lot to draw from there, and i think he'll breeze through committee when we vote on him on thursday. sean duffy had both senators from his state, a republican and a democrat, introduce him. of it was very bipartisan questioning. transportation is usually less controversial. [laughter] and so i think -- and i served with sean duff i my. he's a great guy -- duffy. he'll be a great cabinet member. mike: i want to get your thoughts on the ceasefire in the middle east, fanning jill at best. your thoughts at this point -- fragile at best. >> it's hard to believe that we're this far along, and there are hostages still there, you know? it's such a crime, really, that this has gone on so long are. i'm very optimistic, but anything with the middle east
7:12 am
you have to be cautiously optimistic. hopefully at 1:30 tomorrow, early sunday morning when this goes into effect, we'll given to see the first three hostages be released. i believe that's the agreement. congratulations the president trump's team but also to president biden's team for making sure that we were able to get this signed and, hopefully, we'll have success with that as well. mike: senator shelley moore capito -- >> thank you. mike: enjoy the inauguration weekend. >> i will. we're all excited. mike: we'll get into a lot more on the ceasefire deal and how lawmakers are planning to work with the incoming trump administration with democratic washington congressman and ranking member of the house armed services committee adam smith. you don't want to miss him. but first, the israeli government approving the ceasefire deal with hamas early this morning. what can we expect when it takes effect tomorrow? we'll go there live next. ♪ ♪ mike: and later, trump making illegal immigration a top priority for his white house return.

7:16 am
7:17 am
that agreement with hamas early this morning. mike tobin is if tel aviv with the details. hello, mike. >> reporter: and, mike, the identities of the three female hostages was supposed to have been handed over to the israelis by now. but as we watch in this process, nothing really happens on time. however, this is a breakthrough point. we're on the eve of the ceasefire that is supposed the kick in and start the process that that brings the hostages home. still on the eve of the ceasefire, the violence continues. israeli airstrikes have gone into the gaza strip, over the last 24 hours 23 palestinians have been killed. the houthis promised to stand in solidarity with the palestinians through this process and continue to fire ballistic missiles. twice in the past 24 hours the sirens sounded over the eastern portion of israel. and early this morning here in central israel we heard the sirens sound as a ballistic missile was incoming.
7:18 am
as far as israelis can and their reaction to the deal, you have a lot of people who are quite happy that a deal has been struck and the hostages are coming home. others are unhappy because through this process hamas still survives. >> i think it's a good deal. everybody who has a son or a daughter should have them home. >> i don't think it's a good deal, but i think we need to bring who we can. and i hope everyone will come home alive soon. >> reporter: and in the last half hour a little more than a mile from here there has been another attack that the israelis, their version of the red cross says, indeed, was a terror attack. apparently, with the preliminary information we have, someone wenten a stabbing free. witnesses say there were forgunshots -- four gunshots,
7:19 am
and the attacker is down. mike: mike tobin, thanks very much. what happens from here? fox news strategic analyst general jack keane. general, wellment the ceasefire is seen as, perhaps, delicate at best. what is your assessment of it, sir? >> yeah. well, certainly, this is a complicated deal, and it has a certain fragility to it, to be sure. the first part is likely the easiest, but it also has challenges associated with it. it has three pieces to it. one is the people exchange when which we've been talking about here, hostages for detainees and prisons. 33 hostages. -- prisoners. but they'll be dealt out over a period of 42 days, 3 or 4 at a time. given that length of time that that's taking, almost 6 weeks, it's fraught with things that could happen. that could stop it. so that's challenge one. second is territorial. the israelis have to move there
7:20 am
from where they are occupying different parts of the gaza strip just to the buffer zones on the eastern part of gaza which borders up against israel. this is inside of gaza though. bufferrer zones that they have established since the war began. and then they have about 50 days to move out of the southern border with egypt and gaza, something they've occupied because they call it the philadelphia corridor because they know that's where the tunnels were and the smuggling of weapons and munitions has taken place over time is and something they're very concerned about. they do, they have conceded the move out of there, and they have that amount of time to do it. and hen the third thing is humanitarian relief. up to of 600 humanitarian trucks a day, something that people certainly need. but, again, for our audience to understand, hamas is going to take a part of that. they'll take as much fuel as they need, as much food not just for themselves, but to sell it back to the gazans, and this has
7:21 am
been going on, you know, for years. the second phase is really the challenge. and remember, is so our audience understands, the reason why the hostages were taken in the numbers they were taken by hamas, unprecedented before, is to come down to this point. hamas wants to survive, and they're going to use those remaining hostages, the second tranche, some 60 plus of them, some of which are dead, for their survival. in other words, on the table will be israel will have to get out of gaza and end the war, or the hostages are not going to be released. that is the tension point, and it will be there real ask and -- real and live. and if that brings into question whether that second pause is going to happen or not. i mean, i know for a fact that the israelis want to stay in gaza for a multi-year occupation to ensure that hamas not only is destroyed, but does not rise
7:22 am
again. and the agreement in this deal is to go request and move if -- to go and move out of gaza completely and then, certainly, end the war. the negotiations for that, mike, begin on the 16th day. so starting on sunday is day one. sick teen days later the negotiations for phase two two, which is the real challenge, begins then. and we'll see what happens as a result of that that. mike: may be a very bumpy ride ahead. general jack keane, grateful for your time and analysis today, sir. thanks so much. >> yeah. great talking to to you, mike. mike: to california where some residents are getting a first look at the damage as more evacuation orders are lifted. but first, tiktok on the clock. the social media app a preparing to go dark after a supreme court ruling. how users are reacting next. ♪ ♪ you're really close with your brothers and your sisters that are in the military with you. and when you get out of the military, you kind of lose that

mike: tiktok calling on the biden administration to act now before it's forced the go dark tomorrow after the supreme court upheld a federal law forcing the popular social media platform to divest from its chinese parent if company bytedance or be banned here in the u.s. lucas tomlinson's live on the north lawn with the latest. hello, lucas. >> reporter: good afternoon, mike. tiktok has quite the constituency here in the united states, 170 million users. of that's about half the country. now yesterday while visiting sth
7:28 am
across from lafayette park, president biden said it's up to president-elect donald trump to decide what to do. >> reporter: what's your take on the tiktok decision today, sir? >> [inaudible] >> reporter: do you think someone will buy tiktok? >> reporter: now, mike, biden stopping at st. john's across from the white house to sign the prayer book, that was his first visit as president. if he had not gone, it would have broken a more than 200-year tradition dating back to james madison. now back to tiktok. president-elect trump wrote oncd banning the app recently became a tiktok convert and credits the platform with helping him connect with young voters during the campaign. trump writing on truth social, quote, my decision on tiktok will be made in the not-too-distant future, but i must have time to review the situation. stay tuned. now, tiktok providing a
7:29 am
statement of their own saying, quote, unless the biden administration immediately provides a definitive statement to satisfy the most critical presence, unfortunately, tiktok will be forced go dark on january 19th. kevin o'leary, who supports donald trump, said on america ease newsroom yesterday with bill hemmer he's put a $20 billion cash bid for the company. now, tiktok's ceo will be at president-elect trump's inauguration tomorrow. perhaps he'll have a word with the new president. mike in. mike: perhaps some wheeling and dealing. lucas tomlinson on the north lawn, thanks a lot. is there a last minute play to keep the app alive? cybersecurity attorney lisa a garber joins me now the discuss. leeza, welcome. >> i think, mike. great to see you. mike: what do you think? do you think there's a last minute if deal here? >> there could be a last minute deal. trump has a new options -- few options. it got bipartisan support, we have a unanimous supreme court
7:30 am
decision and opinion, and trump could push start on the 90-day pause giving a little bit more wiggle room. he has to show that a viable deal is on the table and, obviously, we have quite a few suitors for tiktok, kevin o'leary, elon musk, others. and then we could see how that plays out. trump could also during his term say to the doj, don't enforce this law are, don't make it a priority. and that could lead apple and google and other app stores to still allow downloads. but that's a tricky position for them to take because they're risking billions of dollars in fines should trump change his mind. mike: all right. i want to dig down on a point you just made. "shark tank" investor kevin o'leary expressing interest. here's what he had to say after the ruling. >> we're not taking any of that a algorithm because we can't, and we've made it clear in our offer. certainly, the letter put forward today by the justices made it crystal clear that we
7:31 am
can't take that and no buyer could. if we add features that makes it even more valuable, if -- the fact that you don't have it, i want your business, and i want millions more people. we're going to create the largest social media network on earth that supports freedom of speech and democracy. mike: leeza, what's your take? >> it makes quite a bit of sense. we have the technological talent right here in the united states to build on these ideas. we've already seen our apps take off, and there is a little bit of murmur about other chinese apps moving up in the counters on other app stores like red note. these are going to, basically, be a blip because users are going to see the types of containments that are in place about their perspectives and their postings can and opinions. so that will likely be a blip. what we could see is the united states talent taking control of the options for tiktok. mike: and you're a cybersecurity
7:32 am
attorney, leeza, so do you believe that it is really a national security threat as it's currently formed in terms of chinese ownership? >> i don't think there's any reason to doubt the congressional proof that's been provided in the public record and also that's been redacted. finish and i also don't think there's any reason to doubt the supreme court's opinion if on this matter. they really carefully looked at the first amendment concerns, they looked at the evidence provided by congress. china is obviously a threat to the united states. we're on very tricky, vulnerable waters in our relationship with china and other countries as well like russia and iran. there are constant threats. we're in a cyber cold war with them that's heating up all the time. so trump's presidency will likely see changes in that relationship, but there's no reason to think they're not a serious threat. mike: leeza garber, thanks so much for your time and analysis today. >> thank you. mike: president-elect trump saying stay tuned on his tiktok decision after a call friday
7:33 am
with chinese president xi jinping, so how does this play out politically? real clear politics white house reporter phil wegmann joins me to discuss. phil, welcome. >> thank you for having me. mike: so 170 million users here in the united states of america. does president-elect trump look like a hero to them if he can find some way to keep tiktok service for all those customers? >> i think that that's why you have the president-elect saying, stand by. at the same time though, he saw that 9-0 decision by the supreme court. he said that that had to be respected. i think that he's reviewing all of his options, the 90-day pause that we just heard about a second ago. and i think that what can't get lost in this discussion is since april of last year tiktok and their parent company, bytedance, they knew informs coming. they had -- that this was coming. they had time to line up a buyer that would not cause them to get shut out of the american market, but they didn't. instead, hay played this game of chicken, and it turns out the american law is what it is, and
7:34 am
they might be out of the market soon. mike: so, basically, is china trying to put pressure on trump basically saying we've got 170 million if customers, basically they're going to be furious if they lose connection the tiktok? >> certainly. and 170 million, that's a staggering number here. this isn't like some social media app that a few people don't know about. i think what's interesting about tiktok is that this does mirror the pandemic experience. this app exploded when a lot of us were stuck at home to, and then you saw concern about the expansion of this app in a moment when trump had sort of moved the window. you had both republicans and democrats saying we need to be serious about china, about data security. so this will be the sort of, you know, second season of the trump show here. he's already moved the debate. he has republicans and democrats onboard when it comes to china. the question is going to be, what do they actually do now that there's going to be consequences. mike: as you know, new president
7:35 am
sets executive orders, quite often they set a tone. could he do do an executive order on the basically saying i'm going to show find a way for you to keep tiktok and maybe signal that an american buyer needs to come forward right away? >> perhaps he does give tiktok more of that runway the find an american buyer here. but what i think is really interesting about this conversation that president-elect trump had with his townt part -- counterpart in china is both of these guys know one another. this is a renewal of a relationship that could very well define the 221st century. the difference this time is trump has won the argument on china. he also has his people, guys like marco rubio, mike waltz, people who are of the opinion that the united states is already in a cold war with china. what i'm watching for particularly on this technological front here is how does elon musk play into all of this because he clearly has business interests in china. he's argued for a win-win relationship between the two. we'll see how that debate, you know, carries out within the west wing.
7:36 am
mike: president-elect says stay tuned, we will stay tuned. philing wegman, great to see you. >> thank you, sir. mike: to california now where more residents are getting their first looks at the damage. madison alworth is in altadena, california. madison? >> reporter: mike, time is of the essence because right now the winds are calm, but those santa ana winds, they're coming back next week. so after this i'm going to give you the latest on on the fire, and you're also going to hear directly from a business owner who is worrying about whether or not she's going to be able to rebuild in one of the most heavily regulated states. you'll hear from her after this. ♪ ♪ cash-out loan for homeowners. now you can pay off debt and save money! borrow up to one hundred percent of your home's value and get up to seventy thousand or more. save hundreds a month, thousands a year. ring in a new year of security
7:40 am
7:41 am
>> reporter: mike, yes. the good news is that those containment numbers, they continue to increase. that's moving in the right direction. these crews working quickly to take advantage of these lower winds. you know, the start of these wildfires, what caused it, that's still being investigated. but time is of the essence because the santa ana winds are expected to return next week. so let's take a look at where things stand now, starting first with the palisades fire. we are now at 43% containment. they also have seen some evacuation orders that have been lifted. that means that residents can get back to their homes for the first time since january. 7th. then pivoting to the eaton fire, that impacted altadena where i am today. it is at 73% con ape thement. schools are is still closed here and over 8,600 structures have been destroyed. that includes the one that i'm standing at right now. this used to be fox's restaurant. amazingly, and i'm going to have lance pan up, the sign is still
7:42 am
standing. but if you take a look at the restaurant, nothing else is left. it's completely gone. we found -- [audio difficulty] out of the thousands of buildings and homes, when we talked to people here, this was the number one restaurant that they mentioned. this community loved fox's. it's family-run restaurant. it's been here for decades. it was originally built as a house in the '40s, so the owners say even if they get money from insurance, they're not sure that they would be allowed to rebuild as a restaurant. so governor gavin newsom, mayor karen bass, they have promised to cut the red tape in order to help fire victims rebuild, but some buildings -- [audio difficulty] and that may mean a place like fox's may never exist again. >> i'm hopeful they won't just do business as usual, that something -- all the forces that are in play will come together and use their common sense and not just by the book sense. it's not so much just the cost,
7:43 am
but it's also the permitting and the regulations. >> reporter: so monique is a rational person. she really wants to come back to at a dean that. she loves this community -- altadena. but this restaurant relied on the foot traffic and actual traffic of lake avenue, an exception aally busy street. so much of it is just destroyed and gone. so she wants to rebuild, but she questions when or if customers will even be able to come back to this street. mike? mike: desperately needed common sense out there. madison alworth, thanks very much. so how are the conditions this weekend for crews battling the flamesesome fox news chief meteorologist rick reichmuth is tracking it. rick in. rick: hey, mike. so in general, pretty good today, pretty good tomorrow. it's monday that the winds pick up, monday and tuesday really. notice here, no precipitation in sight. and the problem is since october, we are in our driest stretch on record across southern california. by the way, one of the wettest

winters in northern california so far. so getting all of the dry air downwards towards the south. you see these colors of pink, orange and red, that is that increase in wind that that starts monday afternoon, continues through tuesday evening. by wednesday morning, begins to subside a little bit. not quite sure how strong this event will be just yet. but nonetheless; when you get in this chance, winds maybe 40 miles an hour, that's going to cause problems for us. want to show you a couple stories we're tracking. tomorrow big snowstorm going from keyes through -- from d.c., up through new york. d.c. monday, we might have 1-2 inches of snow on the ground, and behind the snow, bitterly cold air across much of the lower 48. get ready for the coldest air we've seen probably if years in some cases. this is going to go all the way down across the south. that means this inauguration that has been moved inside, actual air temperature around 25 degrees. but with that wind it's going to be feeling much more maybe down around 10, 11, 12 degrees.
7:45 am
