many of those executive orders focused on border security, freezing regulation, the environment and energy policy. he also pardoned about 1500 people who were charged in the january 6th capitol riot. trump also revealed his administration's planning to impose 25% tariffs on canada and mexico beginning around februar. now, speaking of mexico and the southern border. one of the most consequential orders that he signed involves designating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. >> that's a big one. >> yes, sir. people have wanted to do this for years. so they are now designated as terrorist organizations, foreign and mexico probably doesn't want that. but we have to do what's right.

ole they are killing our people. the president took part at inaugural parade at capital one arena. we were there. also after his oval office ceremony. he attended three different inaugural balls. dancing with the first lady and delivering remarks to supporters about his agenda. he got back to the white house just about 10 minutes before 1:00 in the morning. later on this morning president trump is going to be attending the national prayer breakfast, guys. >> jacqui, first of all, thank you for standing outside where it's 11 degrees. we know because we are doing the same thing. but, how -- is there kind of a buzz through the bread briefing room there at the white house that suddenly you have got a president who last night, as you just said, took questions off the cuff for almost an hour and it was wide ranging and he gave us some answers we had not heard before. >> oh, yeah. new sheriff in town absolutely

clear. everyone in the press corps knows it. think about it. when we were in that oval office, we would be clamoring to get a question to former president biden and we would have aides shouting over us the entire time. scuffling us out of the room. that's if we could even get arrangements for an event where the press could get that close. those about few and far between. and then you had president trump in contrast. you know, multitasking, signing executive orders while taking our questions. it went on for about an hour. it is clear that he makes the calls and that he is accessible to the press. he is his own best spokesperson in many ways. he gives it to you straight. and in a way for reporters, it lets you into, you know, view of his thinking. so, totally different speed around here, guys. >> lawrence: so, jacqui, a quick question and i don't want to put you in a bad position because you know you are on the association as well. do you think it's going to be different this time tough

questions fair game do you think it will be as nasty as it was the first term do you think because of the access, the popular vote that the president won, that there is going to be some grace, some give and take in the corps? >> i think that four years ago what sort of got baked into. of the media coverage was this approach where what journalists would do throw rocks at trump. even the phrasing of questions often time was unfair. loaded in a way. not neutral. not how reporters are supposed to ask questions. i talk about it casually with my friends like it used to be don't you feel badly for being so horrible? that was sort of how they structured their questions. >> lawrence: so true. how it's clear that the election results showed that is not a

good business model, either. and i think that whether, you know, journalists journalists can get there of their own volition, i think probably we're seeing a lot of shifts in legacy media at the corporate level a lot of changes of the guard and changes in tone i do think what is going to be most fascinating for me to watch is how everyone adjusts to this presidency because it's clear the american people rejected the last one. it's on everybody to be fair at all times, of course, and this includes asking tough questions but in a new central way. >> lawrence: that's right. >> ainsley: i loved see you last night you looked so cold. trying to get press badges she was waiting. -- i hated to leave you. we were all trying to get inside quickly. [laughter]

>> ainsley: you ended up at the commander-in-chief ball? >> well, i went to the commander-in-chief ball and then i was in the liberty ball. i had to do -- i had an interview with tomi lahren. i ran into you and saw harris faulkner. i had my backpack with evening gown. and harris was like what are you dora the explorer? i had this giant backpack on. it was ridiculous. it felt more ridiculous because i was also freezing. i'm not quite sure i have thawed out yet guys. >> brian: it was really interesting how cold it was outside and how we had to wait to get inside. >> steve: was your gown wrinkled if it was all wadded up in a ball in a backpack. >> lawrence: she is a pro- >> best thing about s sequins, o one can tell. >> ainsley: can i wear tennis shoes and lulu lemon and i will

change if there. they said there is no where to change. >> i changed in a bathroom. >> lawrence: thanks, jacqui. >> brian: let's review -- you're welcome. let's review. so things we went through over the last few days. through the magic of pictures. >> lawrence: we like to party. so ainsley and i. >> ainsley: we do have a lot of fun. >> steve: do a morning show 2:00 in the morning try to stay up until midnight every night. >> brian: who are they? >> lawrence: did sean hannity's show and also got to see the president and first lady, the vice president and second lady as well. >> brian: wow. so good to see you two together. we never see you guys together. fantastic. >> ainsley: sean went on for an hour 9 to 10. that's where trump was going to dance and come out. so then in the middle of the show, actually 10 minutes before he went on air his producers are in his air saying sean you are going it do two hours. okay. not prepared for two all right. i do a radio show. i can talk.

we all stayed for an extra two hours. i think we got two hours of sleep. that's all right. >> brian: i had a chance to go to wonderful cocktail party hosted by todd rickets. mark zuckerberg in the back of the room was mark zuckerberg. so approachable. great to have a chance to talk to him. expand on some of the things that he had been saying the new direction in the company. there is a shot of me walking up to him him saying i have nowhere to go i'm stuck in a corner what do i do? i found him unbelievably authentic. he did tell me how insulting it was to be called an oligarch by president biden. he grew up. >> ainsley: especially after he gave soros the medal of freedom. >> brian: he just said for those people in the silicon valley that were democrats, joe biden has blown that up. >> and there is the great huckabee family. and good to see the future -- i think she going to run for president eventually. there is the speaker and lovely wife. they were able to tell me what is going on and say they have four or five more stops and pass

a bunch of bills before the night. and there is my nato general secretary senator lindsey graham. we were just trying to make world peace a reality. >> steve: fantastic. >> brian: unfortunately i had to leave before i could actually do it. that is, you know, that is douglas murray. it's hard to see from this angle. that's from the liberty ball. >> lawrence: how many pictures did you take? >> ainsley: what is this the brian kilmeade show? >> brian: i'm not done yet. >> ainsley: another one. >> >> brian: josh holmes and governor kemp. they were in awe of me. just treat me like everybody else. that's all i ask of you. >> steve: if brian takes a lot of pictures with the tuxedo on he can amortize. >> brian: i love talking to people get a perspective of what is going on. i'm sure i annoyed them. i'm not good at smalltalk. >> brian: i got a bunch of numbers last night. i got senator -- i can't tell you. i got a very important senator's number last night.

so it's going to make the show better. >> steve: there you go. and there i am at the southern states welcome ball. that beautiful woman in the middle is my middle child mary doocy who works here in washington, d.c. and on her arm is her husband marshall. he works in congress. it was really nice to be with them. >> ainsley: her dress is beautiful. >> steve: the great thing going out to balls where people from all over the country come in. it's like we have stepped into their living room and all these people come over and say hey, listen, tell me about this, this and this. and, of course, everybody walls so excited. the two topics at the ball, number one, the weather. that it sucked. and number two, that their side won. they won the election and so excited for yesterday at noon and then did came. >> brian: i have a suggestion. we should have a "fox & friends" ball. >> lawrence: i love this idea. >> brian: have a ball.

>> ainsley: like the patriot awards. >> brian: this way we know exactly where we are going and be able to get in quick we don't need passes. number two get a chance to meet the people in organized way. you walk around and feel you are not spending enough time with them you are running around. steve here is a thing about a ball you got to dance. >> brian: i'm going to learn to dance steve i will learn to dance. >> ainsley: all you have to do is this. >> brian: just upper body. too much emphasis on foot movement and dancing. now finally emphasis on upper body movement with the dance. >> ainsley: some cute moments yesterday, too. usha vance was holding her little girl and sucking her thumb and had band-aids on all of their fingers. they love band-aids they are like fingers. >> brian: did you see j.d. vance's son going to sleep on the fence in between the president? >> steve: i get it. >> lawrence: those kids are so smart. when i went out there to

interview look at that picture. >> brian: another one just exhausted. en. >> lawrence: how brilliant i travel withalla. hey, little man, can you pet nala. he goes no, it says do not touch. lawrence. >> ainsley: he could read and so little. do we have time to play the soundbite of donald trump outing melania the outing her feet were killing her. >> brian: we got the time take it out of lawrence's segment later. >> steve: we are having a ball might as well. do we have the sound? i don't know if they have it. >> a first lady who has been incredible. [cheers] i shouldn't say this i'm going to get hell if i say this. her feet are absolutely aching. you know, those heels. she said darling, i love you so everywhere but my feet are killing me. and then we went out to the

helicopter just prior to this and said goodbye and the wind is blowing like crazy and with the hat that she is wearing, she almost blew away. [laughter] >> steve: that was really cool. >> ainsley: she looked at him one moment just smirked and shook her head like you are going to get it. >> lawrence: he said i'm going to get in trouble. us men say we are going to get in trouble and we still say it. >> ainsley: it made every woman around america -- made her relatable. because when she walked out. she looked stunning. and she was wearing i think they were 5-inch heels. at least 5 inches. i have one pair so hard to walk in. i wear flats to the set and put them on and walk very slowly if i wear those all day like she did my feet would kill me, too. >> brian: can we talk a little bit about the hat. made by new york based label

adam lippis and navy blue silk wool coat and skirt. been in brand for 10 years. melania paired the coat with the matching navy blue hat with the white stripe around the crown. tradition of the president's inauguration beauty of america's democracy and today we honor that with the dress on our first lady. that's the background. >> lawrence: crushed in the mail. and then they made a different one. it was debate if she was going to wear the hat or not. and to their surprise she came out with the hat. >> ainsley: bringing it back. starting a new trend. and wore the choker last night. chokers haven't been in for a while. she is starting. >> brian: a high necklace? >> ainsley: she was wearing strapless with a necklace that goes around your neck, hugs your neck. normally a necklace down this was around the neck and needed broach. >> brian: exact measurement, 16 or 12. >> ainsley: don't want to too tight.

>> brian: or elastic. adjustable. hook it in the back and hook it loosely or tightly. >> steve: if you are ambidextrous. >> brian: sometimes you need a man to put it on. > >> lawrence: joe biden decided to pardon his entire family minutes hillaryly minutes before the new president -- president donald trump gave the oath of office. >> steve: it was kind of a sneaky deal. >> lawrence: it was very sneaky, it happened while biden and trump were both in the capitol building right behind us many times when one president leaves office he writes a letter and folds it up and puts it in the resolute desk. does that really happen? well, just to jacqui heinrich's point about there being a new sheriff in town president trump answered almost an hour's worth

of off the cuff questions. one was from fox news senior correspondent at the white house peter doocy who asked about if that letter thing really exists then he got some stuff about the pardons. >> president trump, did president biden leave you a letter? >> he may have don't they leave it in a box. oh. thank you, peter. it could have been years before we found it. wow. thank you. outside. >> maybe we can read it all together. maybe i will read it first and make that determination. >> sounds great. >> peter. thank you very much. i may not have seen this for months. >> happy to help with the passing of the torch. >> i left him one in the desk just like this. >> what did you talk about.

>> unification of our country. you know, i didn't know that he gave a pardon to his family because he did it during my speech. >> he didn't tell you about it at all. >> no. he did it. they released it during my speech -- i mean, during my speech. so all i could do is say excuse me, i would like to come back and speak some more. we were surprised by that it's bad precedent, obviously. >> steve: obviously. one of the other questions peter asked, he said, you know, over the last couple of weeks have you been around 4 living presidents, you know, between the inauguration yesterday and jimmy carter's funeral he said peter asked, you know, if you had to call one of them for advice or ask one of the presidents for advice, who would that be? and he said, you know, he thought about it for a second. he said you know, bill clinton, he has really good political senses. so, of them all. he picked bill clinton.

interesting. >> ainsley: interesting. >> brian: bill clinton always appreciated. one of the ones to comment on 43. don't under estimate him and then he won. first one to say he has really good instincts. trump has good instincts when it comes to politics. of course, as long as hillary clinton couple. is he not going to be saying too many things publicly about it. i also think when president trump turned around and pardoned all the j 6ers. that caused blow back on the left and some on the right. and biden pardoning what he did has really left a lot of democrats with a lot of spraining to do while he goes back to delaware and waits for a beach day. >> lawrence: real quickly, ainsley, before we go to you. at least donald trump told the american people that he was going to do this. he ran on it. he said that he was going to pardon some of the j 6ers. joe biden did it in a weaselly way. he lied to the american people about it to his b. his son and

lied to the american people. he did it anyway. this whole notion that joe biden is a nice, honest man has totally been -- >> ainsley: might not have been the right thing to do. might not have been done the right way at the last minute at the 11th hour, however, now the republicans don't have to go through the process of what we saw democrats do to donald trump. so, we'll focus on the news. we will focus on making our country better. and we won't have to worry about going after joe biden's brother. spent years and years doing that and tons of taxpayer dollars. >> brian: i am curious where the money went. >> steve: we may never know about that. here's the one thing that i think was curious about it. so joe biden became president in 2020. right? well won in 2020 and became president in 2021. the pardons start in 2014. it's a 10 year window. what's that about? because it's a full and

unequivocal pardon for whatever happened from 2014 to yesterday. >> ainsley: didn't we -- when he pardoned his son something that happened maybe he was joining burisma. >> brian: that's right. >> ainsley: three months later? >> steve: it's just cure yussments. >> lawrence: shady. >> brian: least controversial thing. >> lawrence: i'm so annoyed by it. because the media told us for so long is he a good guy. he is not a good guy. >> ainsley: he got away with it. >> lawrence: shame to acknowledge his grandchild. not a nice guy. >> steve: whatever his legacy was he blew it up. >> brian: when hunter's story written. the least controversial thing will be the hook everywheres and the crack. i think what he did in business is. >> ainsley: doesn't mean we can't research it and find out and investigate. donald trump can't pull back the curtain. it just means if we find something illegal they are exonerated. >> brian: 23 minutes after the

>> ainsley: well, donald trump immediately getting to work after taking the oath declaring a national emergency at the border ending dei first he reflected on this historic moment saying he was saved by god to make america great again katy p&a leadership on hand watching it all. that was one of my favorite moments the assassination attempts. some people pray for him. we were at the ball and together on sean's show last night you looked gorgeous. >> so did you. >> ainsley: thank you. what did it mean to you. >> historic day obviously. easy thing to say. when you look at what the president said from the rotunda. it really resonated with me he wants to solve the problems at

hand that are hurting american families, also, he has a big vision for america. and i love when he talked about the new frontier, about the american spirit. s. >> ainsley: me too. >> about honoring our american ancestors and the way they forged across the continent to build a new nation took huge risk to do. so americans thrive that attitude going into this. dc is a fight back a little bit. the president wants to solve problems. leave a lasting impact in terms of expanding the country. >> ainsley: dad texting me. texted by many whose father sacrificed not only their years but some of them their lives. he said many of their good years to defend our country in the early 20's. so you also said four greatest years in american history about

to embark on today elise stefanik and doug collins will testify in front of senate at 10:00 a.m. this morning the administration is over. nothing left to do. president signed dozen of executive orders relating to a number of things. the border. withdrawing from the world health organization which of course covered up the covid-19 pandemic on behalf of china. so many ditch issues. he needs his cabinet officials to carry him out. this is simply the first step. he has to tell them what he wants to do. there is a lot to pull these agencies out of. so when you are looking at the border, for example, homeland security secretary kristi noem if she is confirmed will be able to go in and make sure that these executive orders are carried out properly pam bondi the attorney general at the department of justice. she is going to be able to carry

out a number of these executive orders. on the legal side. and so, you know, of course. marco rubio knot the confirmed secretary of state can get to work quickly on the diplomacy. president donald trump likes diplomacy. he doesn't like more unless he absolutely has to use it. so he has a huge role to play when it comes to moving the country forward in terms of having those conversations in the middle east. and elsewhere about how to bring some of these conflicts to an end. more importantly as well. bringing some new progress to places. expanding the abraham accords, for example. and getting america back into the conversation with the last couple of years have been so far removed from any of the progress of getting things moving again and bringing new accomplishments on the foreign policy front. rather than having all these problems breaking out everywhere. >> ainsley: we are all so hopeful. thank you so much, katie. >> welcome to d.c. i live here so,. >> ainsley: that's right.

>> katie: covering everything from d.c. >> ainsley: off beautiful city. so much fun here. >> katie: indeed. glad you enjoyed. >> ainsley: karoline leavitt is going to join us since being named press secretary. doge getting hit with lawsuits. how they're fighting back.r se that's next. ♪

inflation. we need to be able to manage what is happening with sanctions. one of the clear things i talked to him about how light touched the biden administration was on iran during the first trump administration. they were tough on iran. they pulled money out and iran had less money to do terrorism. new treasure is i secretary bessent go in a put pressure back on iran where it needs to be. >> brian: do you think there is an overall sense of urgency? senator thune talked about working weekends. >> yeah. we're going to do as much as we can as fast as we possibly can and democrats step in and say we are going to try to slow walk all your nominations. we will continue to be able to work weekends. there is a clock we have to run in cabinet officials take intercity hours. that's the agreement for the clock. that's where we are. if you are noncabinet it takes two hours on the floor to be able to do that. the cabinet, we will see those one a day or so as we are clicking through that may mean we do one at noon noon on one day and the way late next day. next one middle of the night. thune said we work the clock out on this.

and i want my children to have their dad back to be part of their lives. >> brian: the deal for ryan and the other hostage was struck during the final hours of the biden administration after two years of negotiation. but, the exchange was delayed until president trump took the office due to weather conditions. all right. and meanwhile to another alert. right now israeli security forces are carrying out a major antiterrorism raid in the west bank and hamas is call on palestinians to fight back. trey yingst is live in israel with more. trey? >> y., hey, steve, good morning. we are fog the developing news out of the west bank. there are real questions today with the new american administration how are the israelis going to operate across the region? we do know overnight president trump signed a series of executive orders. while he was signing those orders, he took many questions

part of the extended press pool. he made many headlines on foreign policy. including new insights about that cease-fire between israel and hamas. >> how confident are you, mr. president, that you can keep the cease-fire in gaza and conclude in three phases. >> i'm not confident. it's not our war. it's their war. i'm not confident but i think they are very weakened on the other side. gaza, boy, i looked at a picture of gaza. gaza is like a massive demolition site. that place is -- it's really got to be rebuilt in a different way. >> exactly right catastrophic level of destruction to gaza. the world bank estimates more than $18 billion worth of damage to the enclave. if the cease-fire collapses after phase one that number will rise. after speaking in the oval office, the commander-in-chief met with the family of the hostages still being held by hamas. he's addressed capital one argue

manny rescued in june. as we in the region quote we act against the iranian access wherever it sends its arms in gaza, lebanon, judea and sum mayor i can't. the hand is outstretched. there is a real concern here right now as the israelis are operating against hamas and islamic jihad in the west bank, this could effect the cease-fire. in the past israeli has responded to operations in the west bank by firing rockets and launching other attacks. the group has released a statement this morning call on its fighters in jeanine to confront the israeli army. steve? >> steve: all right. trey, thank you very much with the latest from tel aviv. meanwhile, president trump yesterday declared a national energy emergency on his first day in office. withdrawing the united states

from the paris climate accord and rolling back biden era climate policies. jacqui deangelis is the co-host of the big money show and she joins us right now. jacqui, you know what? i think investors and the people of the united states heard what they wanted to hear yesterday because we heard from running day one drill baby drill. i looked at the stock market. the futures are up 300. people like. this they love. this because he has promised to unleash american energy and, steve, he is actually doing it. so some of the orders that we saw yesterday, he got us out of the paris climate accord. that is a deal that he says is unfair when you compare what we're doing to other countries. specifically china. he terminated the electric vehicle mandate and, of course, you know the american people rejected evs all together. so we will see where that goes in time. but, also reversing some of biden's orders on drilling in alaska. he wants to make sure that that's an opportunity that we

have. and abolishing the green new deal, this is just phase one of this. i'm so excited to be here today to talk about energy. what i covered for my whole career. >> steve: i know. >> he has opportunity with the national emergency to use unprecedented powers. we will see this in the come days to create situations where there is less regulation. faster permitting and he will encourage companies now that they see this to explore and drill. that will bring prices down. not just at the pump but also for goods and services. >> steve: absolutely. one of the things he told the reporters, i think it was peter doocy in the oval office last night was he was holding off on imposing broad tariffs. and instead they are going to do a review of imbalances so that's upcoming. one of the things that they have talked a little bit about regarding tariffs is if other countries have to pay us money, you know, rather than it going to the internal revenue service. he calls it the external revenue

service. that would collect all the tariffs and the duties and the revenues. because, as he has made clear all along, jacqui, he feels like the united states has been shook down too long. >> absolutely. and you need an agency to be able to enforce and collect those revenues. that's what would happen here. listen, the reason he has been mum on tariffs is because they are used for him as a negotiating tool. he doesn't want to broadcast to the american people and other countries exactly how this is going to work. chances are they are not going to be had as high as he has told countries they will be. he expects them to. they won't be as bad. this agency will be responsible for going after that money once those tariffs are imposed. we are talking $2 trillion over the course of the next 10 years potentially, steve. >> steve: keep in mind is he a negotiating. if he says you know, we could have a big dare that's just the opening bid, essentially. let's see where it all happens.

jacqui, thank you very much. we are going to be watching you on "the big money show" today at 1:00 over on fox business. have a great day. all right. we will be watching. meanwhile karoline leavitt in first interview as white house press secretary in just a couple of minutes. plus, jason aldean is going to be live in the final hour of "fox & friends" after his inaugural ball performance straight ahead. put down that remote, folks. ♪ i'm thinking of updating my kitchen... ...thinking of redoing our kitchen. ...we are finally updating our kitchen. for all those people who never seem to get around to it...
