9:00 am
together. mike: we know president-elect trump wants to establish an external revenue service to collect tariffs and revenue from foreign sources we're up against the clock, but what about that? >> well, that's something really interesting, it just goes to show you that president trump is very, very serious about these tariffs. if countries are not going to agree to fair business practices, then president trump is going to have to put tariffs in effect. mike: dan geltrude, thanks very much. it's fascinating, we will continue to follow it. grateful for your time, sir. >> thanks, mike. mike: and my thanks to all of you at home for watching today. it's been a pleasure. i'm mike emanuel. fox news live continues with griff jenkins and jacqui heinrich right now, have an awesome day. >> president-elect trump will begin his return to the washington d.c. area today
9:01 am
where he will soon depart from mar a-lago and attend a fireworks show at his golf club in virginia. this as he takes office on monday and begin to implement his ambitious agenda. meanwhile, protesters are gathered in washington ahead of trump's inauguration. welcome to fox news live. i'm griff jenkins. >> good to be with you, griff, i am jacqui heinrich. we're learning new details how trump's first week is going to play out which reportedly will include planned ice raids in many sanctuary cities. nate foy is live in west palm beach with more on this. >> hey, jacqui, griff, good afternoon. two days until inauguration day and the trump administration is planning to follow through on one of their big campaign promises and that's mass deportations. according to a report from the wall street journal, on tuesday morning, so the day after the inauguration, as many as 200 ice officers will begin a mass
9:02 am
immigration raid in chicago, arresting illegal migrants throughout the city. however, the incoming border czar tom homan told our mike emanuel last hour, he saw it more as targeted removal operations and told jesse waters, it's happening not only in chicago, but across the country. >> there's going to be a big raid across the country. chicago is just one of many places. we've got 24 field office across the country. on tuesday, ice is going to finally do their jobs, tab the handcuffs off ice and let them arrest criminal aliens. we're telling ice, you'rg to enforce the law without apology and the worst public safety threats first, but no one is off the table. >> trump's pick for dhs secretary south dakota governor kristi noem testified at her senate confirmation hearing yesterday and she said she'll work with trump to reinstate his remain in mexico policy and
9:03 am
to shut down the biden administration's cbp one app. and trump is working on his foreign policy and talking with china's xi jinping yesterday, and he posted on truth social, the call was a very good one for china and the usa. it's my expectations that we'll solve many problems together and starting immediately. we discussed balancing trade, fentanyl, tik tok and many other subjects and president xi and i will do everything possible to make the world more peaceful and safe. trump says his decision on tik tok is coming soon after the supreme court upheld the ban of the popular social media app yesterday and trump is threatening tariffs on chinese goods at 60%. so the inaugural festivities begin today as griff just mentioned with the president-elect headed to sterling, virginia for an event at his golf club there and then a fireworks show after that. after that, he has a packed schedule with stops at arlington national cemetery and then he also has what his team
9:04 am
is calling a victory rally at capital one arena which holds roughly 20,000 people before the inauguration, which of course, will be held indoors because of cold weather on monday. jacqui. >> all right, nick foy for us in west palm beach. thanks, nate. mike: president-elect trump's second inauguration will now be held inside the capitol rotunda due to frigid weather forecasted for the area. david spunt is live outside the capitol with the latest. hey, david. >> hey, griff, hey, jacqui. i spoke to a secret service course, they're changing and not making concrete announcements. it's going to continue to change. as you mentioned president trump will take his second oath of office inside the capitol dome, inside the capitol rotunda following ronald reagan who took his second oath of office there in january, 1985. >> i, ronald reagan, do
9:05 am
solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute. >> the office of president of the united states. >> the office of president of the united states. >> crews have been putting up fencing throughout the city, tall black fences anti-crime fences made up of several different layers and the fences were around before and long after the inauguration back in 2021 largely because of the attack on the capitol january 6th, 2021 and they're expected to be taken down. and there are signs to warn people to keep out and making sure that things move smoothly and people are safe. what's going to be happening as far as from a scheduling perspective. vice-president elect j.d. vance attend a capital dinner and trump will be at the golf cup in stirling, virginia, about an hour away from d.c., in
9:06 am
northern virginia. tomorrow, a wreath laying ceremony at arlington national cemetery and a maga victory rally at capital one arena and the customary church service, the former president and the president will attend with their spouses and meet for the traditional white house tea. back to the security posture here. yes, things are changing and yes, things are going to be inside, however, the inauguration committee and secret service leading the event want to keep things as traditional as possible for many people who have had plans to come here for months. back to you. >> it is a serious security footprint for sure. david spunt live outside the u.s. capitol. thank you. jacqui. >> for more on this, we're joined on set by republican senator from tennessee and member of the senate judiciary finance and commerce committees, marsha blackburn. senator, thank you for being here. >> i'm delighted to join you.
9:07 am
thank you. >> so happy to have you. >> thanks. >> obviously, this is a big change with all the plans that have been underway for so long. every member that i've talked to has so many guests in town, donors, supporters, they've got hotels and pre-arranged travel. what are your people doing right now with this huge change? >> you know, everyone is so disappointed, but when it is single digits, when we're expecting snow tonight, president trump and the inaugural committee made the right decision not to put people in danger in this type weather, so, everyone is adjusting, many of them are planning to go to the capital one center tomorrow. they will be at the rally, they're going to be there on inaugural monday so they can participate and we are planning to have a tennessee reception and we're going to make the best of it. everybody knows president donald trump is going to get this country back on track.
9:08 am
they are grateful that the biden-harris era is coming to an end. they are looking forward to having the golden years for the united states of america. >> i had a sneaking suspicion when trump said way back when that that was his last rally that that would not be the case. [laughter]. molly: . >> moves forward we have a lot of confirmation hearings and pete hegseth has had a frosty reception, but he's expected to glide on forward. and pam bondi sparring, and there are records that tulsi gabbard may be struggling and republicans leaving with reservations and paper work issues that could delay things. on the intelligence committee which i know you're not on that committee, but republicans only have a one-seat majority on that committee so if you've got two swing votes which you do in todd young and susan collins, chances she's not going to get out of committee.
9:09 am
are you hearing about any constituency plans? >> i believe that tulsi will get through. and she's working hard to answer any questions that they have. she has a great background for workening intelligence and her military service, her public service. i think at the end of the day, she'll answer those questions and she will be confirmed by the senate. >> there's also reporting that president trump's first trip, once he comes into office, could be to california to that area that was affected by the fires. i know that after the hurricanes eastern tennessee got federal aid. there is this debate about conditioning federal aid for california. should it be different for california than it was for tennessee? >> well, we want to see is california make-- take the precautions that are necessary. look at mitigation plans and put these things into place. we just grieve with all of these families that have lost
9:10 am
lives, have lost homes, have lost businesses and as california rebuilds, let's make certain that they are building in a way that is good stewardship for everybody involved in this process. we all want them to be successful and to build back successfully because like with upper east tennessee. i am working every single day with our local mayors, with home owners business owners making certain that the response from fema, from the federal government, from the sba is watching what the needs are for those individuals in upper east tennessee. >> and a soft support for conditioning aid to california then? >> you know, jacqui, i think as we look at how this money goes out, what we want to do is make certain that we are going to plan. what you always want to do is expect the best and make certain you've got plans for the worst and when you are
9:11 am
hearing of some of the conditions that were were there, no water in the reservoirs, no tending to forest management. >> it's got to be addressed. >> this has to be addressed for the good, the safety, the welfare of the citizens of california. >> president biden heading out. >> yes. >> but in his final acts has decided not to uphold the tik tok ban that he signed into law, but to instead unilaterally declare that there's a 28th amendment to the constitution, something that no president can do. your thoughts on that? >> this is more of those last minute ludicrous actions that we have seen and it has disappointed so many tennesseans that have reached out to us and they look at these pardons, they look at these commutations and then they heard this silliness of declaring the 28th amendment and they were going, here is a
9:12 am
guy who has said we don't want a threat to democracy and what is he doing? he is trying to unilaterally change the u.s. constitution. so i think people see this as bitterness and as a final grasping at those last straws of power. >> something his own justice department said he couldn't do. >> archivists, can't do that. >> quickly before we let you go. you just won another six hadden year term. >> yes. >> you're very popular in your state, so popular in fact, there have been calls from some local officials for you to throw your name in the ring for the governor's race because the current governor is termed out. is that something you're considering? >> you know, jacqui, we're strongly considering it and we're looking at it. we know that i've got this job to help president trump this first two years of his term, it is all about sending that power and control back to the states. we know that to implement that,
9:13 am
like returning health care, returning education, it is going to take strong governors and strong state legislatures so we're strongly considering it. >> fantastic, some news made there. senator marsha blackburn, hope you have a great inauguration week on monday. >> thank you. griff: great interview, tik tok may be hours from going dark in the u.s., will one of president biden's final acts in office be to safe the app from going offline? lucas with the details. >> good afternoon, tik tok has a large consistency that would like tik tok to be saved, 170 million users across the united states, about half our country and on his last weekend in office, president biden says it's up to donald trump on what to do next. >> what's your take on the tik tok decision today, sir? >> well, decision to be made by the next president anyway, so--
9:14 am
>> do you think that someone will buy tik tok? >> now, president-elect trump once supported banning the app over security concerns, recently became a convert and credited it with helping him connect to young voters. and writing on truth social, quote, my decision on tik tok will be made in the not too distant future and i must have time to review the situation, stay tuned. tik tok says unless the biden administration does something today tik tok will be forced to go dark tomorrow after the supreme court upheld the ban on friday. the white house says it's a stunt and urges the company to wait for trump to be sworn it and tik tok's ceo posted this message yesterday. >> i want to thank president trump for his commitment to work with us to find a solution that keeps tik tok available in the united states, this is a strong stand for the first amendment and against arbitrary censorship. >> now, kevin o'leary told he
9:15 am
has a $20 billion cash offer to buy tik tok. tik tok's ceo will be attending the inauguration on monday and perhaps have a word with president trump and already we're seeing on social media on tik tok users depressed and then crying, quite frankly, over the potential of tik tok being banned, a source with knowledge, my 10-year-old son davis, says he has a alternative and that's youtube, griff. griff: that's a great point. millions, tens of millions of teens are go to freak out. lucas tomlinson from the north lawn, thank you, for more on tik tok, let's bring in techable analyst and co-founder, there's a lot of angst particularly among younger users as lucas was pointing out. is it time for those young users who are for lack of better word, addicted to this app, spend a lot of time on it, is it time for them to start
9:16 am
freaking out? >> probably. probably. it does seem that tik tok is about to go dark. regardless of whether it's in endorsed or not. it seems that tik tok has a plan that when it goes dark, it's going to have a screen for anyone who fires up the app, that will encourage them to put pressure on lawmakers to essentially reverse the ban or do something about it, and i think if tik tok really wants the u.s. to sort of feel what the effect of that would be, tik tok is not just home to 170 million users in the u.s., there's a vibrant creator economy going on there, there's estimates that it had something like 25 billion, balance with a b to the u.s. economy every year. there's a lot of commerce, there's a lot of folks that have created their careers on tik tok so if it goes dark entirely, that in some ways helps tik tok because then people can feel what it's like without its presence in their
9:17 am
lives to either, you know, express themselves, see the content that they're used to seeing and also, have all of that economy just suddenly disappear. >> we should mention, if it goes dark, it won't be by the actions of the u.s. government. this is a forced devestitures, the chinese owner is refusing to sell it and they're saying they'll take down the app on sunday if the u.s. government doesn't loosen its stance on the requirement to sell. but it is in effect because of the national security threat something that teens don't seem to be buying. take a listen to this. >> if the government cared about our privacy and our security, the government would put a restrictions on selling american user data, they would do something about the military aids chinese males who are allegedly coming over the open border instead banning an app
9:18 am
for social control. gen z knows it and giving the middle finger to the-- >> that's rachel duffy's daughter. >> why do they not believe it's a national security threat. >> one it's a bias, they're on the app and either spending time there and making a living there and you obviously don't want to see it go, but there's an uncomfortable part of all of this, this ban and even though it's academic now and the supreme court has been unanimous in its decision, that the u.s. can enforce this, the fact is, there isn't really a ton of credible evidence around the fact that tik tok is actually doing this. it's all about the potential that it could be doing this. the fear is one of scale because as we said it's 170 million users, it's got tons of data on its users and it is obligated, if the chinese government wants it, they have to share that data.
9:19 am
so the risk is absolutely real. is it actually doing that? well, tik tok has taken steps to try to show that it's not. it has its servers in the u.s., at least ones that store the data on u.s. users, and oracle audits that data. so, you know, so far there isn't a credible report that this is actually happening, it's just, it's all about sort of the potential and again, china is a geopolitical adversary to the united states and that's a real concern and it's a bipartisan one, both, you know, see if the country can't agree on a lot of things, but the threat goes by tik tok and one of the things that there is bipartisan support around. >> and before i let you go. i want to let now about the alternatives, two refugee apps that users are going to, one of which is owned by bytedance, which is tik tok's parent company and you're presumably back in the same problem the other is chinese-run that its
9:20 am
name translates essentially to the little red book, a reference to the days of mau zung. is that just as bad? >> absolutely. red note as you noted is probably the winner so far where people are migrating to. and grown from 300,000 users to close to three million or even more now. but, again, it's a chinese company and it has the same obligations that bytedance has, and you know, same algorithmic problems that will essentially lead to more addiction and kids spending time on it. there's a lot of criticism of tik tok that it's just brain rot and somehow sort of sy op to get our kids addicted and all of these apps represent the same problem. with red note, i think there's a bit of spite on the part of tik tok users that go to this app and then make these videos that, hey, now i'm speaking
9:21 am
mandarin, look u.s. government, ban me, too. i'm not-- i wouldn't be surprised if they do. so, certainly lemon 8 is pretty much the exact thing just in a different package. i think easily from a legal standpoint to extend the ban to that one as well. if red note ends up growing large and the scale of the tik tok, all the same arguments apply. griff: thank you for your insight. it's going to be 24 hours and we'll see. >> thank you. >> it's tough to that mau killed more people than stalin and hitler. and we'll have more live coming up next. with miebo, eyes can feel ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪ miebo is the only prescription dry eye drop that forms a protective layer for the number one cause of dry eye: too much tear evaporation.
9:22 am
for relief that's ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪ remove contact lenses before using miebo. wait at least 30 minutes before putting them back in. eye redness and blurred vision may occur. ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪ ask your eye doctor about prescription miebo. if i had to start college again from scratch, i probably wouldn't have made it. university of phoenix made the process of transferring my credits seamless and simple. life's too short to repeat the work you've already done.

>> as inauguration day nears anti-trump crowds are gathering near our nation's capitol to protest ahead of the second term. correspondent bryan llenas is at the national mall where part of the march is happening behind you right now. what's up? >> griff, that's right. there are thousands of marchers here for the so-called people's march and arriving here at the lincoln memorial. you can tell behind me, this is one of the huge line of protesters on the right side of
9:26 am
the lincoln reflecting pool. on the left more protesters as well on the other side of the reflecting pool. the rally here is set to start at 1 p.m. and so far we've heard things like hands off our body. we don't back down, socialism is fascism, and this rally is held by the women's march primarily and this is the same organization that had that huge anti-trump protest in 2017 for that inauguration day. though this is decisively much smaller. they're expecting as many as 50,000. we'll see, but you'll remember in 2017 there were half a million people in washington d.c. alone. today's march includes a dozen organizations from a hodgepodge of different, well, different things that they're here for. there are groups that are here for abortion rights. people that are here for lgbtq rights. others that are here for anti-militarism, you name it,
9:27 am
they're here. now, they insist the organizers that the people's march is trying to reenergize people and attract reinforcements, so to speak, for the trump resince tense 2.0. some organizers acknowledge that the trump resistance is exhausted over the last eight years, they're feeling pretty fatigued and as pessimistic after winning -- after losing this last election, but we spoke to one protester who says, look, she's still going to fight. >> i'm a grandma and i'm not -- i've got plenty of energy, buddy. >> and you think you think that folks will be energized the next four years to fight or push back? >> we're fighting for our children, our grandchildren and who can't fight for themselves. some people are too scared, yeah, right, absolutely. >> yeah, but according to the latest fox news poll on this issue, democrats say that 77% of feeling scared after trump
9:28 am
won the second time around. there are 69% feeling angry, 68% are feeling depressed so, griff, basically you have a hodgepodge of different organizations, the sierra club will speak here, the environmentalists, dreamers, pro immigrant rights who will also speak and show you here, this is where they will be speaking in front of the lincoln memorial at 1:00 as they try to figure out what trump 2.0 resistance is going to look like and they're hoping that today will be a decent kickoff for that, griff. griff: they're not backing down and not dismayed by the weather. bryan llenas live for us from the national mall. thank you. jacqui. jacqui: los angeles business owners are facing hurdles as they begin to rebuild the restaurants and shops decimated by the catastrophic wildfires. madison is live with the latest on this. >> hey, jacqui, we're here at rancho bar and used to be
9:29 am
rancho bar. when you take a look inside you see the memories of what every good bar should have. you've got the bar stools there so customers could belly up to the bar. behind it, beer kegs and glasses behind that for your drinks and behind those blackened charcoal covered bottles. this bar stood in the community for 70 years, the owners can't believe it's now gone and they're committed to building it back, but not sure that they're going to be allowed to because this is a state with some of the most restrictive building laws, take a listen. >> we don't know how it's going to -- with the regulations, if they -- it was a little dive bar. it started, i think it started out as a real estate office and then tacked more stuff onto it. >> so they're not zoned to be a bar so they're wondering if they're even going to be able to rebuild. now governor newsom and mayor bass have promised to remove
9:30 am
red tape, but we're talking building codes that remain in place and a question whether this will be allowed. the owner can't get in to look at a rebuild because this is still a mandatory evaluation zone because we are still actively fighting these fires. so eaton, the fire that impacted this area, 73% contained, schools here are closed. palisades fire 43% contained and we do have some evaluation orders lifting there which means that people are coming back and seeing their homes for the first time since january 7th. jacqui. jacqui: should also mention altadena is a historically black neighborhood, you've had generations of loss in some cases, a tough, tough situation out there. madison allworth. thank you. griff. griff: a new wrinkle in the israel-hamas cease-fire deal. we'll bring you the latest next. to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms... ...with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling.

>> phase one of the gaza cease-fire deal is set to begin
9:35 am
tomorrow as moments ago benjamin netanyahu said israel will not proceed with the cease-fire until israel gets a hostage list. fox news senior correspondent mike tobin is live in tel aviv with this. >> jacqui, as we reported over the last few hours, hamas is behind on a deadline to turn over the identities of the three female hostages who are supposed to be released tomorrow. as a result, prime minister benjamin netanyahu made that public statement says this process doesn't move forward and put the responsibility back on hamas to do what they're suppose today do to keep this process moving. this has never been a smooth process as you've seen the agreement back and forth through fits and starts, but it does, with the approval of the netanyahu government, provide a light at the end of the tunnel, particularly for all the people who have gathered here in what is now known as hostage square in tel aviv. that the hostages can start coming home and after a year and a half of war, this could possibly lead to a pathway to the end of the war, but the
9:36 am
violence continues. just about an hour and a half ago here in tel aviv, a 19-year-old palestinian from the west bank town went on a stabbing attack at an open air cafe here in tel aviv, randomly stabbing people. he was shot by a passerby by and shot, presumed dead. one person is in critical condition after that attack. the health ministry says in 23 palestinian have been killed. houthi plan to fire until the last minute when it goes into affect. as a result, two times the sirens have wailed and had to take cover with incoming. (siren sounding). now, as israeli hostages are released palestinian prisoners will be released as well. some of them convicted for involvement in violent attacks
9:37 am
on israelis. as a result, the government a short time ago announced that those families who have been impacted by palestinian violence will receive notification that the attacker who harmed one of their loved ones will be released and as they put it, counselors will be provided to those families. but in the meantime, you have a lot of people here gathered at hostage square hoping that indeed this is a pathway to the end of this particular war. jacqui. jacqui: tense on the ground there, thank you very much, mike tobin, appreciate it, griff. griff: jacqui, thanks. for more on this, let's bring in fox news contributor and former cia station chief dan hoffman. dan, you're at the near east division, that includes the middle east, you know this region. you know the players, netanyahu in particular. what do you make of this latest holdup by netanyahu just hours before this first phase of the cease-fire deal was set to start?
9:38 am
>> yeah, look, the holdup is on hamas and i don't think there's anything arguably more difficult than trying to conduct negotiations with a terrorist group like hamas. the idea that israel should expect a list of the hostages who will be released, that's just a reflection of how serious hamas is about this phase one cease-fire and it's important that we have that list from our perspective here in the united states. there are reportedly seven american hostages, four of whom are deceased. we'd like to see the names of the 33 so we can see and track whether americans are scheduled to be released as well, griff. griff: and, dan, john kirby national security advisor, communications spokesman had this to say yesterday about the situation. listen here. >> the comments by president-elect trump, particularly his support for this deal, publicly that he supported this deal to
9:39 am
everybody, including hamas. griff: does it look like a joint effort by the outgoing administration, incoming administration can at least hold this together so you can move to starting a what the future looks like? >> yeah, look, it's hard to find silver linings in the dark clouds of the middle east. i can tell you from my experience having served tours of duty there, as well as traveled extensively in the region, but the smooth handoff from the biden administration to the incoming trump administration is good news for the united states national security. seamless transition, involvement from the trump administration, middle east envoy with steve whitcoff critical to the cease-fire deal and the united states will be heavily engaged and we won't have any issues having to catch up with all that's happened now over the past few weeks, we'll hit the ground running and that's really important for our national security. griff: dan, i think two big
9:40 am
questions are, even assuming that phase one starts, can we get to that phase two down the road? and really, what does this mean for the future of netanyahu's goal, which was always militarily to destroy hamas? he has not done that. he's decimated them, but not destroyed them and what does that pose in terms of a risk? >> yeah, look, you know, wars end when both sides are too exhausted to fight or whether one side is a clear victor. we don't have either one of those scenarios right now. and so that's why this cease-fire presents such incredible challenges. i'm not even sure we'd be talking about a cease-fire if hamas weren't still holding almost 100 hostages. what it means for israel, as we track this initial phase of 42 days, is to continue to be thinking about the post-conflict reconstruction plan for gaza and whether we can drive a wedge between the
9:41 am
irreconcilable hamas terrorists who israel needs to continue to target and the innocent palestinian civilians who would like nothing more than to live in some piece and enjoy economic prosperity. that's going to be the challenge going forward as my old boss in the cia, david petraeus has said. israel is not able to hold, and build in gaza. that's a challenge for them and they need the involvement of our gulf state allies in this process, but talk about next phases. we could be looking at a counter insurgency phase and israel tries to root out hamas and deny financial aid assistance to hamas flowing into gaza as well as weapons. >> dan hoffman as always, great insight. let's hope we can get hostages released and get to the second phase. thank you, jacqui. jacqui: coming up, the executive orders and actions on border security that trump will be signing on monday.

>> u.s. border patrol chief jason owens announced his retirement making way for a new era of border patrol leadership. before he leaves office, i asked him about his biggest concerns about our nation's southern border. take a listen. are you concerned that we have an increased risk of would-be terrorists coming across the border? >> i am because i know that they've seen the situation at the border and how overwhelmed our border security apparatus has been and i'm concerned that they either will or already have exploited it and i worry about what they intend to do now that they're here. griff: the del rio bridge, later eagle pass that became ground zero there, thousands coming across every day. take me back to those trying times. what was that like? what were you doing? what were you thinking and had you ever seen anything like that? >> i hadn't seen anything like that. that was as bad as i'd seen it
9:47 am
in my entire career at every moment the men and women are trying to find a way to take care of that so they can get back out there on patrol and keep the bad actors from coming in. griff: for more on this and the crisis at our nation's southern border let's bring in former acting dhs secretary chad wolf. chad, you heard chief owens telling me, terrorism is among his top concerns. i looked at the latest cbp data today, the total number of terrorist screening data base hits we've gotten under the trump-harris years-- or the biden-harris years is 400 now. brand new number, 400. only 11 under the first trump administration. it's more than 3500% increase. how concerned are you as this new administration takes over that they're going to possibly deal with a terror attack? >> yeah, i'm very concerned. those are 400 or so watch list individuals that they've been
9:48 am
able to apprehend. as you know, griff, there are millions of other getaways that have come across that border in the last four years we don't know who they are. you could have double, triple the number of watch list individuals here in the united states that are plotting, that want to do americans harm and you know, the comments from the outgoing chief of the border patrol i think are sobering. he's very concerned. i mean, that's an operator, that's someone that's been on the border and telling the american people that this is concerning to him and i think it's a certainly speaks volumes to the last four years in how the biden-harris team has not been focused on the security of the american people. instead, of opening that border up and allowing millions of illegal aliens in. griff: and we're flying over, there are thousands across there. texas, texas dps and governor

abbott hardened that border with containers, razor wire, setting up camp shelby and lots of areas wide open and exposed particularly in southern california. let me take you though in the last hour, my colleague mike emanuel interviewed incoming border czar tom homan, the first deportation flights will take part next week, ice, chicago to new york, to potentially here in the d.c. area, will also begin. what do you expect to see? >> yeah, well, look, the department removes or deports individuals every week, so it's not surprising to me that they're going to have flights next week. obviously, those will be the first flights under president trump and we're likely to see increased numbers. increase of volume of individuals, we're likely to see operations because what we're going to see without a doubt is new enforcement priorities by the incoming team
9:50 am
and tom homan and others will certainly have a hand in that, right, that allow ice removal officers to go out and actually start removing, identifying, targeting and removing individuals. look, what is what the american people want. what president trump ran on. they're tired of what they've seen not only along the border, but in american communities and certainly with the illegal criminal aliens being in their communities and of course, that is what the incoming team said that they will prioritize. griff: and lastly, chad, obviously, president-elect trump will sign a number of executive orders moments after he's inaugurated and many will deal with the border. if your view, what is most important among them? >> yeah, look, i think the national emergency along the border. i think restricting asylum what we call 212f order will be similar, but not the same as president biden. i think ending the cbp1 app, the parole programs and stop the damage we've seen the last four years, that's going to be job number one and then they're
9:51 am
going to continue to roll out more action over the coming days and months that will start to get at really the root and the cause of what we see down on that border. griff: we shall see where it goes. former acting dhs secretary chad wolf, great insight as always. thank you. >> thanks. jacqui: griff, we're going to take you back to the national mall in washington, we're monitoring a large anti-trump protest. that's coming up. have you always had trouble with your weight? same. discover the power of wegovy®. with wegovy®, i lost 35 pounds. and some lost over 46 pounds. and i'm keeping the weight off. i'm reducing my risk. wegovy® is the only weight-management medicine proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack, or stroke in adults with known heart disease and obesity. don't use wegovy® with semaglutide or glp-1 medicines, or in children under 12. don't take if you or your family had mtc, men 2, or if allergic to it. tell your provider if you plan to have surgery or a procedure,

>> happening now, anti-trump protesters are gathering across washington d.c. as the president-elect's second inauguration draws near. fox news senior correspondent steve harrigan in downtown d.c. with more out there. steve, is it cold enough for you? >> jacqui, it's about 40, not as bad as we thought it would be, but you can see the crowds are still streaming in here. it's hard to get an exact figure, the numbers, the organizers estimated there would be 50,000. the police said maybe 25,000. the real number is actually somewhere in between there, but a pretty large turnout so far. a lot of the crowd is women. a lot of them carrying handmade signs, many colorful and some vulgar and obviously they put time into it and they want to get their message out. there's a range of different groups demonstrating for a range of different things.
9:56 am
i'd say it's a carry-over from the women's march eight years ago. this is much smaller, but we're hearing chants, my body and my choice, over and over again. so far this has been a fairly festive march, a peaceful march, we've seen a lot of police on bicycles with ride helmets, no need for helmets yet. jacqui: that's good news. griff: and jacqui, as we see the crowds, we'll see what comes of it and people are turning out. meanwhile, much more ahead and including on the preparations for president-elect trump's inauguration and we'll take you to the los angeles fires for the latest on rescue efforts and recovery there as fox news live continues next. at harbor freight, we design and test our own tools and sell them directly to you. no middleman. just quality tools you can trust at prices you'll love. whatever you do, do it for less at harbor freight.
