>> we are out of time thank you for watching. fox news at night is next. i love you america. >> trace: good evening, it's 8:00 p.m. on the west coast, 11:00 here in the nation's capital and is america's late news, fox news at night.

and breaking tonight just minutes away from ending the first full day of the new trumpet administration, we have nonstop executive action that could lead to historic change. >> the rescission of 78 biden era executive actions, a requirement the federal workers return to full time in person work, we withdrawal from the paris climate treaty. >> president donald trump: can you imagine abiding -- can you imagine biden do in this, i don't think so. we wanted to be in this country. >> we will see diseases get cured. >> trace: plus new hirings, some notable firings and a capital nomination is slowing by a senate democrat.

>> we could have been acting on that nomination, do we want to vote on these folks on a tuesday or vote on friday, saturday and sunday because that is what we are going to do. this can be easy or this and be hard -- or this can be hard. >> trace: first, a senior national correspondent kevin live in d.c. with more on the brake neck pace, good evening. >> good evening it's been said that covering the trump administration is like drinking from a fire hose in today was a perfect example of that, is the president, as you pointed out hit the ground running, 26 executive orders, 12 memos, for proclamations and a 78 biden orders withdrawn. starting with ending birthright citizenship and one pause with refugee admissions. he also established that there

are two sexes, male and female and restored the federal death penalty, the president also ordered his attorney general not to enforce the tiktok band, for 75 days in order to give the administration the time to decide the appropriate action, among his memos, mr. trump required all government employees to return to work. in person! on a full-time basis. he also issued for proclamations including yesterday's pardons and commutations for roughly 1500 defendants charged in connection with the protest of the capital in january sixth. all by the way on a day that saw him meet with his party congressional leaders and announcing 500 billion-dollar ai infrastructure partnership with openai, and oracle, he also declared an emergency at the southern border, he revoked the security clearances of dozens of former officials and readded q

but to the list of state sponsored by terrorism. it was that kind of day. >> trace: just like the administration, kevin live in d.c., thank you let's bring in steve and amber along with matt cook. we have mike johnson, on hannity tonight and he said this, i thought it was interesting. >> i was with the president, and other leaders from the conference, we are all united on this agenda and we know we have to deliver on an america first agenda, we will. >> trace: republicans are on the same page for the first time ever in a long time. >> it seems that way but of course they have a very slim majority in the house and one of the complicated factors of getting trump's agenda through is he wants to put his principles,'s policies, all in one large package, and because

the democrats are obviously opposed to a lot of these policies, trump has thrown them a bone by saying we will include the l.a. wildfire relief, but if speaker johnson wants to include conditions on that, they could lose the same democrat votes. >> trace: a lot of people want to put conditions on that meantime resident trump said this about project stargate, 500 billion-dollar project to build massive ai data centres he said the following. >> president donald trump: this is a resounding declaration of confidence in america's potential, under a new president at this to me is a big thing, $500 billion project, i think it is going to be something that is special and will lead to something that could be the biggest of all. >> trace: it feels like the space race again. >> you are absolutely right and

we are again competing with adversaries like china, when we talk about ai this is really the future of america and where our country should be we don't need to fear this, we need to embrace it. what is so brilliant about this is president trump is highlighting the number 1 thing that americans have asked for and that is jobs, 100,000 jobs, something that the biden administration continued to fabricate every single job report president trump is barely an office and we are talking about 100,000 jobs, this is incredible. >> trace: for all the drama and bluster of trump's first day that passed through both houses for a big beautiful bill, enacting the president spending plan just as tricky as it did before, how tricky do you think? >> incredibly tricky, that is game over. for the first time in a long time and the republicans have a little bit of an easier path in the senate which is a weird switch up for them, speaker johnson has an incredible difficult threat.

>> trace: is going to be thin, margins are thin already, foxnews.com writes the following, trump revoke clearance of 51 intel officials, signed discredited biter -- biden letter including on the list former director of national intelligence james former director of the central intelligence agency michael, john, former secure secretary and former national security advisory john bolton, it's a big list and it is a big slap down to the people on that list. >> we need is accountability -- we needed accountability and we need it now. they were a shell of a human being and i cover for the president family, the administration and this whole russia hoax that we continue to seize of these people really need to earn a national security clearance and president trump is going to continue to pull national security clearance because there are a lot of people that biden allowed to

start the system and abuse the american justice system and weaponized against president trump and republicans and the conservative movement. >> trace: on it goes, thank you both. the fox news in a common sense department is not surprised that the legacy media hypocrisy is still powered by the fact that everything donald trump does is wrong. four years ago when trump was considering preemptive pardoning members of his family which he did not do an msnbc anchor asked a federal prosecutor quote, is there an innocent explanation for someone to seek preemptive pardons for family members? the answer was now. joe biden himself was against preemptive pardons until he preemptively pardon his family, the video now says it biden needed to issue the pardons to defend against trump's future vengeance so trump's pardons are bad, of biden's pardons are

necessary, apparently is the same rule when it comes to executive orders, joe biden's executive action dismantling border security allowing millions to cross, it was humane? donald trump's executive action closing the border is cruel. proclaiming there is only two sexes, the cruelest, common sense would remind you joe biden lied about pardons, he lied about opening the border, donald trump ran on giving pardons to offenders, he ran on closing the border, he was elected in part because of those promises, yet biden's lies are forgiven by the media trump's promises are condemned. because what kind of politician does what he promises? >> it's hard to overstate what a monumental use of the pardon power this was, i'm talking about the abuse of a party power and it is going to have repercussions across the justice system that is really unprecedented.

>> if america's heartbeat. >> [multiple people talking] >> people will absorb it because he gives them what they want in other places, i want the democrats to learn that you can even get away with things as ridiculous as that if you are feeding people what they want to hear and what they need. >> he actually told them, what he was going to do. >> trace: the vast president number of day when executive orders include controversial pardons for january sixth, even those who assaulted law enforcement, let's bring in reporter jillian at manchester along with israel activist emily austin austin, thank you for coming in. they are as you heard going after trump, for what he promised to do.

he is promised again and again and they are hitting him for it. >> they are obviously that pardoning of the january sixth rioters came hours after we saw president biden parted members of his own family so the day was book ended by these pardons we saw each of these debated in the media, going forward so it looked, i am not surprised that there is backlash, i don't think trump is surprised there is backlash to this it is been a very heavily politicized topic, a very hot topic so i think we will definitely continue to see the debate over january sixth going forward because republicans have pledged to investigate that. >> trace: now there is meltdown from the media about the executive orders and they said the following. >> he has decided to make good on his promise to be a dictator on day one. >> there will be a law suit over suspending asylum, if it's not broke, don't fix it.

>> there was a lot of big lies. >> a grand total of 11 hours wasting no time imposing his will on american government. >> i was prepared for shock, this is shock and. >> trace: he ran on these things, people voted for him, because he said he was going to do these things. >> 's problem is he said if it's not broken don't fix it but it is not broken, it's absolutely shattered under biden's administration and right now we are seeing a lot of outrage in the media on ending the birthright citizenship in the asylum but we have a big problem, trump's duty is to stop america from innovation and threat in one of the greatest threats to our country is in fact the southern border, it's because people are abusing the system of seeking asylum, of birthright citizenship in using that to come into the country and now we see manhattan full of migrants running these drug rings and the crime spiking and it's trump's job to prevent that from happening, he needs to reform the whole system. >> trace: he has been before

the media a lot in the first couple of days, giving all of these press conferences and he is pushing back against the media, here is a sample of that. >> if you commit, you should not be pardoned. why is your vice president wrong? has mack for one reason, they have served years in jail, they should not have served -- excuse me, their lives have been ruined, stop interrupting. the american public is tired of people like you that are one-sided, horrible people. >> trace: is start all over again,. >> reminds me of the first trump administration, the first trump campaign, he likes to spar with the media it's a symbiotic relationship that goes back and forth but on the issue of transparency look, it is good to have a figure like the president doing these press conferences, especially yesterday during that 45 minute press conference from the oval office when he was taking those questions, that is

transparent, we will see if that continues but members of the media do like that. >> trace: meantime david said this about trump addressing the media, a lot in the past couple of days, watch. >> i think it's refreshing for presidents to be -- i was among those who are critical of the lack of exposure of president biden and i think it's good for presidents to be telling the truth. >> trace: he has to take a swipe at donald trump the truth is he's putting out trump took more questions last night, then biden took last year. >> i hate that i actually agree with him on something, i appreciate what he said, sometimes he over talked to the media but less anemic and people were faced with an administration where there was a period of time in which you were not sure he was running our country, there was a period of time where our vice president kamala harris decided to run, she did not feel like she owed the media to speak to them and

there was a sense of arrogance and that you have a relatable president who over shares with the media and people find the problem. >> trace: yes, they will. thank you both. while the killing of a border patrol agent illustrating to the south and north the border crisis is front and centre, as donald trump returns to the white house, jeff who follows a border security for us a lot is live in los angeles with the new information on this, good evening. >> we are learning some new details about that shooting in vermont, a spokesperson from fbi told fox news that the department of homeland security confirmed one of the suspects involved is a german and national in the u.s. on a current legal visa, border patrol agent david pulled over a car with two people inside, shots were fired, the border patrol agent was killed as was one of the suspects, the other suspect was injured and taken into custody, investigators are now working to figure out why

the agent engaged in that traffic stop and how things escalated. while sending his condolences see caution speculation were people reported things he, as governor does not even know. >> with what is happening in bc, -- in d.c., it's unfortunate. >> at one point authorities could be seen it using a robotic device at this scene they were using it to look through a backpack that was discovered on the ground near the body one of the suspects, tom said his heartbreaks over the age and that was killed calling it a sad day for all of us, he said the northern border will not be under looked by the trump administration adding they are understaffed, where numbers are up 600%. >> jeff live in l.a., thank you let's bring in former acting dhs secretary chad, great to have you on. here is tom on going after the

mexican cartel, he said the following. >> i'm going to push for this, because these terrorist cartels of mexico have killed more americans than any terrorist organization in the world combined. a record number of sex trafficking, they need to be ... >> he is right, i wonder if you agree with the cartels? >> i do. i have been saying this for some time i think they should be public enemy number 1 for all the reasons tom said and more there is no entity that killed as many americans as they do with fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics, than any other organization around the world. they are steps away from our territory and our border operating in northern mexico and elsewhere, i think certainly, a designation such as foreign terrorist organization that is

hopefully forthcoming is the right course of action. >> trace: by the way i want to that this is in el paso, a cabdriver who normally picks up these illegal immigrants and drives them and he said this about yesterday and today, watch. >> trump is coming into office and they have already warned us to let us know these guys -- the 20th would be the last day and i've noticed there is less people as you can tell. there is normally a lot of people lined up and the vans of course that transport them, there is nothing anymore. >> trace: we have pictures of people getting into cabs all the way from san diego to el paso, it sounds like it will be quiet for a while. >> i sure hope so i think there are number of measures of the president put in place yesterday that is going to curb the flow of individuals coming in, sure they want to claim asylum and things of that nature. the flow overall that we have seen hopefully will dissipate in that will allow border patrol to

catch their breath, but it will also allow i.c.e. officers to target individuals in the country and remove those that don't have the right to be here. >> trace: i wonder what you think because there has been a lot of talk about taking handcuffs off the ice agents sending them into the city to pick up people with criminal records, illegal aliens, would you think about them going into these sanctuary states and sanctuary cities, do you see conflict, do you see trouble, how do you think that works? >> well it's going to be a challenge. i don't think they should not go in there, this is federal law, they are enforcing federal law, trying to remove criminal aliens from communities and make this community safer, of course its always better to have local law enforcement support, local leaders support but look, of governors and mayors are not going to support that, you need to make sure their community is safe and these dangerous individuals are removed. it would be safer to be far more

effective and far more efficient if some of these mayors and governors and local officials would get on board and allow ice to go into jail settings and remove these individuals, it's better for ice and for those communities. >> trace: thank you. coming up major winter storms leaving a bourbon street covered in snow and rare sighting for louisiana we will have updates on that in moments and the tale of two pastors one who sparked outrage with her low prayer with donald trump today, and the other he got big time praise with his unifying spiritual benediction on inauguration day. later, trump had a busy 36 hours signing executive orders, what are you most excited about? in the first 100 days? let us know on twitter and instagram, we will read your responses coming up in the nightcap. ♪ ♪

pray for our amazing president, i would love to pray for her and believe that god can be able to make her dream again. >> trace: it is really amazing , anyways let's move on. you say the inauguration was the biggest display and modern american history. >> it was awesome, what beats it? biden was a disaster, he was an embarrassment. he caused a public scandal with his celebration, public celebration of abortion, and he ridiculed catholics, he weaponized the doj and we have the display yesterday which the pastor was a part of, we had a rabbi, a priest, it was awesome! it was a celebration of life and the fact that you can believe in god in america and not have to look over your shoulder. >> trace: it's amazing because now you can believe in god and you can actually put your trump

hat on and nobody feels ashamed anymore, it's like four years ago people were like, i don't want to say, now people just want to be themselves, i want to play this because it is a national cathedral, this is the bishop and she said this during today's service. >> there are, lgbt people, some who fear for their lives. and the people, the people who pick our crops... >> trace: it seems like she was apparently trying to score some point. >> absolutely, it was theological practice. for you to stand up and use a poultice to interject policy that is on biblical, i was in the cathedral, sitting right there with the president's family and to see her have an opportunity to unify, to pray

for our nation, to see her use it as an opportunity to try and lecture the president, his first day in office was shameful. >> trace: what about you? >> she is completely disconnected, the presidency needs to get under a national cathedral business, and to a baptist church. why are we doing this? this woman does not speak for anybody, it was a political ploy, it was stupid, then she goes on about immigration, she's talking like, down at towards mexican catholics who believe in our lady of guadalupe may. she is disconnected on every front, it was an embarrassment, trump should have never been there, we need to get out of this business with the national cathedral. >> trace: what about you? thank you gentlemen i appreciate it, coming up somebody taken hostage on the october seventh massacre, they do not know if there son's dad or life but is holding out hope in next they will tell us how they feel about

by hamas on a saturday... -- four more female israeli hostages will be released by hamas on saturday. it will be tested in the coming days as israel just launched a major operation in the west bank >> trace: live for us in new york, thank you let's bring in the parents of american israeli soldier whose fate is a hamas hostage remains unknown. more than 50 months after october seventh, thank you both for coming on. have you heard anything at all? >> nothing new unfortunately but we have new hope, i think that everybody recognizes that this was the elections and

president trump and his team, specifically the ones that flew out to the middle east multiple times and gave the guarantees that the negotiators were looking for and enabled us to get into this framework that allowed women to get out last week and we hope this just continues until all hostages get out. >> trace: you feel the same? do you feel there is at least some hope and you are more buoyed by trump being an office and maybe some positive things coming up twomak. >> are more than one year we have not seen any hostages coming out in an agreement. so now, like trump said, it's a miracle and to see them, nothing makes me happier. i want to know how my son is going to get out because there has been 33 names that were supposed to come out and in the past few weeks it's been hard

for me. >> trace: you have not been privy to any of that information yet, why is that? >> my son is an idf soldier, they kept in a different format than the women, he is also one of the seven u.s. citizens that was to hostage and hamas with think that is something they would not want to share. the u.s. people should be disappointed that in that list, the majority of u.s. citizens, not even on the list and i would ask how the administration could do that deal. >> trace: pushing one year and a half of heartbreak and agony, keep pushing on, you keep

pushing forward because you have to. >> he is my son, he is my middle child, we have three boys and we miss him a lot. it's hard to go day by day and count the days and nothing happens for us. >> trace: is it hard knowing that this cease-fire is so tenuous? >> if there was one thing you can predict about the middle east is that it is unpredictable. the framework that is then put in place, we understand from my discussion with the administration we went to doha just two weeks ago to look in the eyes of the negotiators. you see the negotiators, they don't say the names, i want them to look into my face and now this is my kid, he is a u.s. citizen and i think that is an element that gets lost in all of this.

yesterday god bless the president that he was able to put us on stage and acknowledge the fact that there are hostages and it is a statement. >> trace: it's a big statement. >> when i asked the president, i asked for the job to be done. >> trace: thank you both. >> congratulations president trump, we send our warmest wishes to you, and the american people, on your second inauguration as president of the united states. your first run as president was filled with groundbreaking moments, you withdrew from the dangerous deal, you recognize jerusalem as israel's capital, you move the american embassy to jerusalem and you recognize israel's sovereignty, you also

brokered the historic accord in which israel made peace with four arab countries. i believe working together again we will raise the alliance to even greater heights. >> trace: let's bring in plastic surgeon, and former idf spokesman. thank you both for coming on, this fascinating sound bites talking to u.s. tax dollars being used for the united nations relief and the work program that we know as corruption to the court, she said the following here i want to get your comments on the backside of this. >> there was individuals who executed and committed terrorist acts against israel on october seventh. the leader of hamas carrying a passport, you had a hamas data centre under the headquarters,

so the rot is deep. >> trace: the rot is deep and tax dollars should not be going to these organizations, what is your thought? >> it is refreshing to finally hear this. trumpet in a moment tori him -- in a moratorium... >> trace: do we have a microphone? >> i was saying its good to see trump putting moratorium looking to where our tax dollars are going and being consistent with our values and of course we know the rot is deep, people are terrorists, a lot of them. the packages were used to shoot rockets into israel, the funding needs to stop, and we need to have accountability of where our tax dollars are going. >> trace: and jonathan, i am curious, we talked about this with the family, at this cease-fire is so tenuous do you

think it will last during phase one, will and interface two, will bc -- will bc a good number of hostages come out? >> thank you for having me on, i think we will as long as hamas will be handing over hostages, then israel has every incentive to keep this going, hamas has tremendous incentive because frankly, this deal is very convenient for hamas and it's a victory for hamas the only thing we are getting is our hostages. i am very much happy for the country and civilians, the two, it is not a good deal strategically and hamas has a lot of incentives to keep this going, the moment of the test will be once hamas starts and that it's a question of time, when hamas will start playing

around with dates of hostages and the amount of hostages that they will be bringing home. that will be the test and it will come. >> trace: a lot of things are up in the air here, donald trump order signalling crackdown on college students going on to say the monday directive from trump orders the government to deport foreigners who bear hostile attitudes towards american citizens, and government institutions or founding principles and do not advocate for aid or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security. this antisemitism on the campus we have been talking about. >> it is about time that we hold these anti-semites accountable and this is a great way to do it, this is not about free speech, we should be allowing people into the country, share our same values, and want to see our country thrive, not to be here chanting in support of hamas and be pro-terrorist lovers.

>> trace: i have to go but i want to know do you believe, does israel believe trumpet being in the white house, is a boost to israel? >> i think it's a boost to america, it's a boost to israel, i think we are looking ahead, i as an israeli, i am excited to see new fresh breath air, america reclaiming its position and i look forward to it, to peace, prosperity, everything. >> trace: thank you both. president trump packing a lot into his first 36 hours, what do you most excited for in these first 100 days? let us know on twitter and instagram we are back and that includes you, next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
