and i'm sorry, i'm not going to take any questions now, because there's a whole congregation remaining -- waiting for me, and i'm sure -- [inaudible] >> you say anything about the hostages -- >> yes, i just got a call saying the three were released in gaza to -- out of the hands of their captors, and they appear to be in good health. but it's early to tell. they're literally being -- they may be across the border of the gaza strip into israel now, i'm not certain. thank you. >> sir, any concerns about -- [inaudible] >> no. [inaudible conversations] bill: okay. so the first move can -- stand by. the first move in the first phase of the hostage deal has taken place. there are many moving parts on this. and as the president said, on the 16th day of the first phase of the deal, negotiations for

the second phase will get under way. it's complicated. but three israeli women have been returned home as of now. we await for a lot more to come. please stay tuned to the fox news channel and this fox station for continuing coverage on this ongoing story with dana perino, i'm bill hemmer live here in washington d.c. bill: our coverage continues now on cable, general jack keane joins us -- dana: general, thank you so much. president biden on his, in the last few hours of his presidency makes this announcement saying that we can be glad of the fact that we have some hostages home and that the deal, at least right now, is holding. >> yeah. and the reality is this deal would not have happened without president trump and witkoff. and the reason why i know that, in talking to my israeli sources they said, general, witkoff came in here and really laid law down here, and he suggested some

things that would help do that. and the reason he said they were so instrumental is because netanyahu that made some concession has that he didn't want the make. and that helped put the deal over. and hamas made some concessions they didn't want make, and we finally got a deal. but as bill just said, in front of us is phase two. and, remember, hamas took these hostages for one reason and one reason only, the guarantee their survival and use it as leverage to get the israelis out of gaza. they will go down to the wire holding on to that that reality, and that's what makes phase two so challenging. those two things are tensions that come together. israel wants to continue to destroy hamas, wants to stay in gaza. hamas wants israel out of there. bill: remarkable stuff. four days ago a you're at mar-a-lago with the incoming president. i don't know if it was china, russia, iran or north korea or radical islam, but where was his focus on thursday? >> well, he's very much aware of

the major geopolitical, strategic change that that has taken place in the world since he was president. and it was just everything that you just mentioned. finish it's the nexus of those four countries, china, russia, iran, north korea, coming together and collaborating, taking advantage of what they perceived in these four years to be american political leadership weakness, a lack of will to continue -- confront them. they thought they could get away with it. it's not an isolated event. president xi has stepped up his game with intimidation and aggression in the pacific. all three of those things are happening because the united states no longer has the deterrence it used to have. that means political will and your adversaries believe that a you're willing to confront 'em. rhetoric, cheap. your adversaries have got to believe that in your head they're coming for you. and that has not been the the case during these four years, and that's why we've seen this

aggression and the success that they've had at the expense of of the united states. the second thing is you've got to have the capability and, certainly, believe that a we're to going to use it. they know full well, marley china, that our military capability has eroded. we're not the same military we used to be. nobody in the administration is going to admit that, but you put the facts on the table, it is. so we've got to restore deterrence is the word we use here, and i think it's already beginning, and the president hasn't taken office yet. it's quite remarkable. dana: part of that is technology, right? and in terms of artificial intelligence. it feels like every day i read another headline about how china is ahead of us on defense technology. can we catch up? >> yeah. i am so glad you brought that up. i mean, china has outpaced us militarily. you go -- you name the platform, they've got many more of them, and they've caught up to us in quality in most of them except for submarines. but look, they have state-run

capitalism which means the government controls everything. they control -- the -- [inaudible] we have a democratic-driven capitalism in our country. we can outthink these guys, we can outwit them, we can outinnovate them, dana. we've got to harness this commercial sector. the non-defense commercial sector. that capability is there. we've got to get it into our defense sector, break down the rules, the regulations, all the things that stop that from happening. and, mopefully, we can get that -- hopefully, we can get that that done in short order. it's not enough to just give the defense department more money. today need it, but with we need to use that money considerably more wiser than what we've been doing. bill: remarkable images coming out of israel right now. the meeting point for these three israeli women. what a moment and, hopefully, many more moments like this in the days and weeks to come out of israel. a moment ago you said part of it is already beginning. define which part is already

beginning. >> political will. it's not an accident that these wars didn't start when president trump was in power. they knew because of the evidence of his four years that he's willing the confront them. and the evidence was cheer. pilot -- was clear. putin wasn't coming across that border because he knew he was going to get confronted. that, i think all four nations that are this nexus that's come together are all reassessing their own objectives and goals that they had established and much of which they have had some success with over the last four years since the election. and i'm not pollyanna-ish about this political thing, i'm pollyanna-ish about the fact that we're going to restore american deterrence and american capability, and we're coming into a presidency with a president who understands what the threat is and is willing to

confront that threat. and, remember, what we are talking about here so our viewers don't misunderstand, we're not talking about going to war, we're talking about preventing war. preventing war by making certain that people understand we're not even going to let 'em get away with the little things that go into much bigger things and before you know it you're on the cusp of a war. that there is political will there, willingness to con front them. not just -- confront them. not just militarily, but confront them economically. confront them with better technology. take advantage of what america truly stands for and harness all of that capability. you put it all together economically, diplomatically, technologically and militarily, nobody can stand up to us. nobody -- bill: general, thank you so much. it's great to have you with us today and thank you for passing the word that you, the news that you broke here. and earlier today the president said he wants to go to china in his first year. that would be remarkable too. thank you, sir, very much.

dana: great to have you. thank you so much. let's get back to tel aviv. trey yingst is there. what is the latest there, trey? >> reporter: yeah, dana, good morning. r romi, emily and doro rn are now back in israeli territory, they were transferred from the red cross to to the idf, and they are at that reception point along the border. it has just been a moment of excitement for the people here in israel and, of course, they are watching everything that's coming out of the united states and the words from president biden about the negotiations that took place over the past year. they also hear the words claiming that this was effective,they look at the clock in the distance. 47 10 days that it took -- 470 days that it took to get these women out of gaza. i want to introduce you to a woman who has been coming to the these demonstrations for the past 15 months. i want to ask you with, what does today feel like for you? >> today's a day of excitement. it's been hard. it's been tough.

we've been crying. there's a lot of shedding tears. but today the tears are tires -- tears of joy. after 47 70 days, finally the girls are home. i don't know any of them personally, but with i've been walking with their families, marches, being here in the square for around a 470 days and finally we can take a couple of minutes to be happy. there's a lot of sad a tears coming ahead, but now it's the moment of joy. and i'm wearing this flag for the first time for good reasons and not in a funeral. sorry, i'm really excited. so, yeah. it's just tears of joy today. >> reporter: thank you very much. you hear her words there. it feels like my sr.s are home. my sisters are home. and if that's a feeling across israel right now. it's a large family. this is a country of just over 9 million people, and it's hard to find someone who is not directly affected by the october 7th massacre.

you meet the people in the streets, you see them, certainly, here many hostage square, and there are these moments that are almost surreal. today, earlier, we saw a man come up chose to where we were reporting, and he locked his bike and just walked around the square here. and we later found out that he is the father of a hostage who is still being held in gaza. this is an incredibly tight-knit country, and everyone was affected in some way or another. they are still living through this collective trauma. it has been unimaginable for this population, but as you heard there, a moment of hope for the israeli people with these three hostages released from hamas captivity today. dana: trey, one of the things that just happened moments ago in charleston, south carolina, is president biden gave some remarks in which at the end he said and now it is going to be up to president trump to implement this ceasefire deal. but as general keane just said to us, his israeli sources say this deal never would have happened but for president-elect

trump and steve witkoff who had gone to israel to try to negotiate. maybe this doesn't come up in the conversations with the people that you have there, but i'm curious, do they recognize that as well? >> reporter: absolutely. general keane is spot on. i have been talking with qatari sources, i've been talking with israeli sources, i have been talking with hamas sources throughout this entire process. the deal that was signed that allowed these women to get out of gaza would not be complete without president-elect trump and the incoming middle east envoy, steve witkoff. they were going back and forth since last may, and there was just no movement on the ground in doha. the teams were at the table, and they could not come to to a conclusion. the envoy went there, and they had the directive from the incoming administration, and it really allowed the ball to cross over the line and get this deal done. and so the people here you talk to, today say they don't care if it's president biden or

president-elect trump, they wanted a deal done. and they have a deal now. the question is whether or not it will hold because as we talked about earlier, and bill mentioned it as well, it's incred i by delicate, what we are looking at here. hamas is a u.s.-designated terror organization. he was not in the past negotiated in good faith. and even when we speak with these officials who i have known for many years and met if often in person in the past inside if gaza, their reality is quite different than the truth. and the truth is civilians that you saw released from gaza today are that, civilians. they were dragged from their home ands from a music festival, and they've been held in gaza for the past 470 days. and what a relief it is the for the israeli people today to be able to say they're no longer hostages. they are once again israelis, back reunited with their las vegassed ones. and right now there's -- loved ones. there's a video on the screen behind me, you can see the excitement there. that is a video of romi's family

seeing her for the first time on video, and they're just overwhelmed with emotion. because the bottom line here is that she is alive. and, again, they just did not know for so many days whether or not these hostages would come out alive. and i think that that really gets to the point of something we must talk about when you hear president biden say that the efforts have been effective. no one knew whether these hostages were alive or dead. they had gone back and forth in these negotiations and just made no progress, and it took this incoming envoy, steve witkoff, to go to doha and say we need a deal done before inauguration day. and they were successful in that. and the result is that the women that just came out of gaza are going to be reunited with their loved ones. and, again, the small detail i think is so important in all of this, their mothers are at that unification point along the gaza

border. and just to give you a sense of the map here, it's the kibbutz, the community just next to the nova music festival. and so rom if i, the young woman who is now back in israel, was taken from there, and she is now being reunited with her mother. and there are all these small story thelines here as we cover this, the past more than 15 months, that cut through all of the head lanes and the numbers that we get in these negotiations. we talk about the nearly 100 hostages being held in gaza, we talk about the details of this agreement, 33 hostages in the first phase, 9 hostages being exchanged for10 palestinian prisoners -- 110 palestinian prisoners, but each one of these is an individual. it is a sister, it is a daughter, hopefully later on it had been a son, a father, and eventually these israelis will be reunited with their loved ones here in the middle east. bill, dana? dana: beautifully said, trey yingst, thank you. and it's only 6:13, 6:14 p.m. in

israel, so more to come at least in terms of the gatherings there. thank you, trey. bill: thank you, trey. there's a statement put out from the israeli government for the hostages and missing families, headquarters they have there. after 471 agonizing days in captivity, emily, doron and romi are finally returning home. it represents a beacon of light in darkness, a moment of hope and triumph of the human spirit. they've got more to go. dana: a lot. and that was very beautifully said by trey yingst. and let's bring it back here because there's another huge story happening in thest of all of this. the inauguration of donald trump just one day away. how he is expected to hit the ground running in his paris week. be right back -- in his first week. week. we'll be right start to break away from uc with tremfya... back. with rapid relief at 4 weeks. tremfya blocks a key source of inflammation.

♪ ♪ dana: triumphant return to the corridors of power. president-elect trump is holding a victory rally at capital one arena in washington, d.c., and that that rally kicks off two straight days of events before trump takes the oath of of office. his supporters packing the arena. it holds 20,000, we were told. the white house's incoming press secretary spoke with us last hour. >> you're going to hear president trump talk about how we are entering a golden age of america and how americans' hope can be restored in this great nation. then you'll hear him talk about his plan, his executive action on day one to fix these problems that have been plaguing the american people over the past four years. and i think after hearing his speech tomorrow, americans are going to feel a renewed sense of hope and optimism. dana: we have fox team coverage. chad pergram just moments away on the trump agenda taking shape in congress, but first, steve

harrigan is live outside capital one arena in d.c. where people are lined up for hours, steve. >> reporter: a huge crowd out in front of the arena. it goes way down to the end of this street, snakes around this building as well. this arena holds 20,000 people. it's not clear whether there's going to be enough room for all these people. some of them were out even overnight despite the cold temperatures. rob here was out at 7:30 this morning. tell me why you're excited to be here. >> i think it's just a great opportunity to kind of see what it's like as part of this whole american political tradition and be out here with all these other people that have been supporting trump and experience it firsthand. >> reporter: what are you hoping for from president-elect trump on day one? >> i'm just hoping that some of the kind of overreach that we had from the previous administration if can kind of get taken away pretty quickly and kind of return to sort of a normal way of operating. >> reporter: a good camaraderie, good friendship with everybody here over the

last five or six hours? >> everybody's been incredibly optimistic and pleasant and welcoming and sharing food and drink and having a fun time. >> reporter: thanks very much, rob. >> thank you. >> reporter: pretty good vibe here overall. there's a heavy police presence on the ground, we've seen them in cars and on bicycles. the protests we've seen so far have been peaceful. dana, back to you. dana: steve harrigan or, thank you. bill: nice to see you, steve. and you would have to go back to 1893 to see a president who returned to power serving nonconsecutive terms, it is a how unusual tomorrow will be. and of after that, the work begins. republican lawmakers pushing bills that align with president trump's agenda, and he has more ambitious policy proposals to add to that docket. chad pergram watching all of it live from capitol hill now. chad, good morning. hello. >> reporter: bill, good morning. the president-elect has more political clout this time compared to 2017, but he also has a tight majority in the house. still, congressional republicans

are three theoretically on the same page. on the docket, money to pay for a border call and -- wall and tax cuts. >> -- that through the appropriations process we'll be able to handle with what those costs are. some of which may be included in the original, the first bill, that that a comes out. and i know that right now there's a discussion about whether we'll have one bill or two bills up here. the process doesn't matter to us. >> reporter: republicans most likely go it alone on their major policy bill to cut spending and taxes, but democrats from high-tax states like new york could endorse the agreement to lift the cap on state and local tax deductions, sometimes called s.a.l.t. hah a chemojeff reese will see president trump at the inauguration tomorrow. what will you say to him after some of the initial conversations when you're around him? >> if we work together where possible in the previous administration on the first step act, and on the

u.s./mexico/canada trade agreement and look forward to trying to find common ground this time around during act two. >> reporter: and then there are confirmations of nominees for the cabinet. expect one or two confirmation votes tomorrow night starting with marco rubio for secretary of state. >> well, my job is to make sure they get a fair process, and they are. they're all having their hearings, and they're performing real really well. i can't guarantee it with 100% certainty, but i feel really good about where these nominees are in the process. so i'm hopeful they'll get voteds coming out of the committee, reported to the floor. >> reporter: the senate votes tomorrow night on the laken riley act. that that bill will likely be the first bill ready for mr. trump to sign into law. but first, the house must align with the senate. bill? bill: got it. okay, chad, nice to see you on the hill. chad pergram. gating -- getting ready for trump time. [laughter] dana: and the trump administration is reconsidering

immigration raids reportedly set to begin in this week after details were leaked to the press. i.c.e. may also face problems navigating sanctuary city laws. new york city mayor eric add a.m.s telling the new york toast the law is the law, and nypd police commissioner said the law in new york city is, basically, the police department will not assist in civil and immigration enforcement. tom homan joins us now. what does hitting the ground running look like for you tomorrow at 12:01 p.m.? >> look, i.c.e. is going to be -- we're going to take the hand a cuffs off i.c.e. that they've had a put on by the biden administration and let them go do their job. the president and i have been clear, we're concentrating on public safety threats and national security threats. so i find it troubling to this day that any sanctuary city, any elected official does not want public safety threats removed from their committee. let us into the jail. if you do, we cannily -- arrest the bad guy in jail perform you release them into the community,

it puts the community at risk, our officers at risk, the aliens at risk because anything can happen. it's safer for everybody. will: tom, let's go through a couple of things here. washington post says you, as of yesterday, talking about reconsidering a raid in chicago this coming week. is that true? if. >> we're not reconsidering any operations. there was a leak in chicago, so we're looking at that leak and finding out how does it affect officer safety concerns. chicago's not off the table, but we're reconsidering when and how we do it -- bill: -- benefit you based on your objective there not to talk publicly so much about your plans? >> specific plans. what was leaked in chicago was more specific, what was happening, and that raises officer safety concerns. they already have a dangerous job. they're going to arrest public safety and national security threats, dangers. but when those bad guys has a heads up that we're hitting you at this time, this day, it raises officer safety concerns, specific operational plans. so we're looking at it, what was

leaked, and how is it going to affect us moving forward. ca. dana: we have a fox news poll that shows what a people think trump's top priorities should be. immigration at 13%, economy, jobs at 13%. proximity can often be power. you'll be in the west wing. this is going to be job number one. one of the most difficult things about your job is not just the implementation and execute cushion of your -- execution of your policies burke the communication of them. how are you planning to keep the american people up to date especially when you know there are going to probably be some tough moments that will be captured on cameras and that some in the media will exploit those. how do you deal with that? >> first of all, we've got to get kristi noem in quickly. she's brilliant. i've talked to her many times. she gets it. i'll be working shoulder to shoulder with her on messaging to the american people exactly what we're doing and how we're doing it, that we're doing it in a humane possible, most humane possible way, right? law enforcement -- arresting people is sad. it's unfortunate. there's always a negative if

connotation to that, but we're going to keep talking to the american people daily, weekly basis exactly what we're doing, how we're doing it and who we're arresting to show the american -- bill: who you, this is very important, who you are arresting. >> exactly. bill: and you are saying there are 700,000 illegal migrants in america today with a criminal record. >> walking the streets of the country. bill: walking the streets or in jails or both. >> walking the streets. dana: how do you find them? >> well, that's law enforcement -- dana: okay, okay, i got it. [laughter] >> we have our ways. look, i.c.e. is very good at this. i want to the make one thing clear, it's not sweeping neighborhoods looking for people different than us. every person they have a target enforcement work sheet. they have done a lot of investigation on pretty much -- they know who the guy is, pretty much know where to find him concern they know a lot of information about who when's in the house. do they have children, do they have a spouse, where does he go to work.

so this is a targeted enforcement operation, not what you're reading from the left side media that no military tanks will be running down villages or streets looking for people different than us. this is a targeted enforcement operation, they're very good at it. and that's the message to the american people. this is a well planned operation. bill: starting tomorrow, this will be how many administrations you've served? >> seven. started with ronald reagan. every president i ever worked for took steps to secure the border, even clinton and obama. joe biden's the first president in the history of this nation who came into office and unsecured the border. bill tom, thanks for coming here. dana: we've all pa paid a price for that. thank you. bill: donald trump is on a mission at moment to try and save tiktok, but every republican is on-- not every republican is onboard. is there an alternative to to an outright ban? mike gallagher live with us coming up next in d.c. >> 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. this is a strong stand for the first amendment and against arbitrary censorship. in-1 saline nasal spray. spray goodbye. aaaaaaahhhhh! new mucinex 2-in-1 saline nasal spray with a gentle mist and innovative power-jet. spray goodbye to congestion. it's comeback season! follow my finger without turning your head. no, just follow with your eyes. i don't think you understand what i'm asking. i don't think you know how owls work. get two pairs of progressives and an eye exam for $149.95 at america's best. everywhere but the seat. the seat is leather. alan, we get it. you love your bike. we do, too. that's why we're america's number-one motorcycle insurer. but do you have to wedge it into everything? what? i don't do that. this reminds me of my bike. the wolf was about the size of my new motorcycle. have you seen it, by the way? happy birthday, grandma! really?

what is becoming the dominant if news platform for young americans raises the threat of espionage. the platform could be used to spy on 170 million americans and also could be used as a propaganda platform. therefore, all we're saying is divest. change the ownership structure, and people can continue to use the app, and the only reason we're here is because tiktok spent the last 2700 days trying to not comply with the law, suing the government so they didn't have to comply with it, lobbying against the law and, ultimately, losing. if they were a normal market actor, they would have taken the tens of billions of dollars that that people are offering them, but of course, it proves this is a weapon in the ands -- hands of xi jinping designed to weaponize against america. can ask for an extension. there is no extension. as the person who wrote the bill, the extension was for within the 270-day window which closed at 12:01 a.m. morning. and in order to get an extension, the president has to

certify there are legally-binding documents enabling the execution of a qualified divestiture which, of course, there isn't. and tiktok, no less than ten days ago, was saying that that a divestiture is impossible. tiktok has only themselves to blame. it is time the make a deal that a results in a qualified divestiture. bill: one more question on this. i don't know why the law was established where it expires the day before you get a new president in, because it was passed last april, and at that point joe biden was is still in the race to possibly get a second term. what president trump has said this morning on truth social, he's said many thing, but one of the things he did offer was 50% ownership on behalf of the united states and perhaps 50% ownership split between singapore and the chinese. if the ccp can spy on you through tiktok and if it's taken awe off of your with -- off of your phone, can't the ccp still get our data through other sources? >> of course. this is why this is just one element of a mull -- the

multi-phased9 effort that includes taking actions to address typhoon, their hacking of our critical infrastructure designed to weaken us if we go to war. however, there's something unique about tiktok because of its popularity with young people and its use as a news source, right? the best analogy is the suggest we would not have allowed the soviet union at the height of the cold war to to buy fox, to buy abc, nbc. and also it's why we wrote the law in a way that addresses apps other than tiktok. any application, social media application that is controlled by a hostile foreign adversary would be subject to scrutiny under this law are. it is not tiktok-specific. tiktok, howevers, has crossed the threshold such that it is the tional security threat, and the ownership must be changed. bill: let's see what happens. go ahead can, you want the talk about china? dana: no, go ahead. you have something else? bill president trump says he wants to go to china within the first year and that xi and trump

have a lot to talk about. >> yeah, they've talked a lot. i guess i would take a step back and say look at the phase one trade deal that the trump administration struck with china the first time around. china didn't live up to that agreement. china has never lived up to any of its national agreements. we need to remember the fundamental paradox when dealing with a marxist, leninist regime like this which is the more space you give them, paradoxically the more aggressive they become. they're literally building landing craft right now to to prepare for the invasion of taiwan, and the target candidate they've set, 2027 -- date they've set, will occurren trump's watch. so i think trump has a huge opportunity to to restore deterrence, but it's going to the require firmness, boldness, and it's going to require all of us to stop listening to the voices primarily coming from the private sector saying, well, xi would never invade taiwan because china's economy is too weak. china's economy is weak because xi is preparing for war with the

west over taiwan. he's trying to sanction-proof his economy, and he's preparing his people to suffer, to endure pain, and he thinks we're weak. he thinks we are not willing to to sacrifice. he thinks we are decadent can and that's, result i -- ultimately, his path to victory. dana: mike gallagher, thank you for being with us. oklahoma governor kevin stitt the9 on the changes he expects to see in washington and across the country. >> the american people should expect that president trump is going to deliver on many of the promises that he made to them within the first 24 hours of his taking back the oval office. kin. my active psoriatic arthritis joint symptoms held me back. don't let symptoms define you... emerge as you, with clearer skin. with tremfya®, most people saw 100% clear skin... ...that stayed clear, even at 5 years. tremfya® is proven to significantly reduce joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. serious allergic reactions

♪ if. ♪ >> we don't want the details to be lost on the american people because every single one of these executive actions that president trump is taking are

monumental, and and they are truly going to transform the way that this government near washington, d.c. works. bill: that is karoline leavitt just about 28 years old. america, you're about to get to know her very well, because she will be the the public voice of donald trump's presidency just about every day from the podium in the west wing of the white house. donald trump and his team looking to jump-start their agenda on day one of week one, expecting hem to sign executive orders and -- on immigration and the economy and whatever else comes down the line. oklahoma governor kevin state is with us here in -- kevin stitt is with us here in d.c. good morning to you. >> thank you. bill: listen to jim jordan here. you were in private business for most of the first term. you started your governorship 2019, so at the end of trump's first term. here's jim jordan on the sense of unity that he sees in the gop. >> everyone's behind the president. i mean, every republican. that wasn't the case eight years ago. you knew the bureaucracy was

against him eight years ago, the democrats and the mainstream press, but there were republicans that weren't for him. now all republicans are for him, and you can feel the optimism. bill: so just an observation over the past 24 hours, this town someone e e bull i can't for all of the supporters -- ebullient for all the supporters. are you for a second term, and how different do you think it could be? >> well, i mean, i am super excited whenever i ran and won governor in 2018, trump inspired me. i came from the business sector. but he's right, the first term you felt a little bit of, you know, opposition the him, and i- bill: little bit? [laughter] >> well, i mean, a lot, i guess, from the media's perspective. you got right now, i believe, the republican party from the governors to the senate to the house in unison to get his agenda done. and if i think the american people are very excited about january 20th and border security finally, energy dominance,

common sense, safe communities. somebody in the white house that actually believes in law and order. i know in oklahoma we're super excited about it. dana: i wanted to to ask you about that. what do you think could be the most beneficial thing of a trump term for the people of oklahoma? what would be different? because they have a republican governor, but what's different if they get a republican president? >> well, i think, first off, you talk about the border security, and you talk about i signed a task force called operation guardian to take some of people that are currently in prison that are illegals and get them turned over and get them out of our communities. so i think the safe community thing is a huge deal. energy. we're such a huge oil and gas state. and to see president biden banning any kind of exploration on 650 million acres is just unheard of. most americans think that's just i super destructive to the safety and security of america. so i think energy policy aligns

with most americans, and trump is going to unleash american energy dominance. it's going to help our allies, but it's also going to bring inflation down. and i think that's what the economy and that's what a people really voted for to get trump in office. bill: when you were in private business, you had to manage people, didn't you? >> that's right. bill: you had to have a plan. and if you deny, your business would pot have done well, right? >> that's right. bill: when trump came here in 2017, i think we can all agree things were a bit sideways. he is managing this much differently than the first time around. >> yeah. bill: what's the impact of that? >> you know, i mean, i think day one in office he understands he's got four years left. his team in a lot of cases, this may be better that he had a 4-year break because people realize what the left did, and so his team, america's first institute, they have been getting ready for day one in office a, getting everybody ready to go and the appointments expect executive orders. it's going to be a tremendous

first 120 days like we've never seen in the country's history going all the way back to fdr. i think he signed 92 or 93 executive orders in his first 100 days? i think you're going to see trump sign 100 day one. dana: like the oklahoma thunder out there. >> like the oklahoma thunder, baby. bill: need a pin for. that's deign tank thank you so much. bill: appreciate your enthusiasm, governor. dana: a big fan of governors. thank you so much. >> thanks. >> you could feel the heat from the walls that had a fallen down. but they were still smoldering. right now we're just trying to to get back to normal. bill: so, yeah, what is normal, right? look at these images as they continue. that's from yesterday. donald trump making plans to survey the damage in l.a. that may happen sometime very soon. the victims are reeling from the devastation, facing a long road to recovery. we'll see how that looks momentarily as our coverage continues here in washington, d.c. pre-inauguration day.
