good morning, jacqui. >> good morning to you guys. in first full day in office, president trump announcing a massive infrastructure investment in artificial intelligence. this all happening in a speech from the roosevelt room. you had the softbank, open ai and oracle leaders there announcing that they will work together on this project called star gate. it is aimed at building data centers in the u.s. that will be focused on ai. here's what is he said. together world leading technology giants announcing star gate a new american company invest $4,500,000,000,000 at least in ai infrastructure in the united states and very quickly moving very rapidly. creating over 100,000 american jobs almost middle school joining yoik how the tech and business communities really warmed up to the president. the first investment for this project will total $100 billion

that will be the first data center built in texas with plans to have expansion in other states. a white house official told our colleagues over at fox bills that following the election, president trump secured a $1 trillion private investment for the u.s. in different projects. here are two of the ceos on "special report" last night talking how important this ai investment is. >> we have been working on it for a long time. the first data centers are actually under construction in texas already and will be turning them over to sam to start training the next -- their next model. >> this w with a different presl president it would would not have been possible. great for americans and the whole world. >> jacqui: as the president wakes up this morning, we are still awaiting details on what his day is going to look like. so, stay tuned for more there. guys. >> steve: and, jacqui, are you hearing from democrats that they are a little steamed, for instance, this gigantic tech guy

sam altman seems to be clearly aligned with this administration in, perhaps not politically but bills wise he gets, if i want to do stuff i got to do it with him. >> yeah. i think he saw it was a week or so ago, i believe it was sam altman. i don't want to misspeak called thought a letter from elizabeth warren. >> steve: yes, you are right. >> jacqui: the donations you made to the republican party and he posted on twitter, altman or on x, rather, that he never got those kind of letters when he was donating to democratic causes. i believe that was from sam altman. certainly a lot of consternation from democrats about the money that's going to republicans now. and bernie sanders, i think, our colleague, hillary vaughan got him on capitol hill yesterday and said well, you know, you talk about this oligarchy, do you not care about george soros and alex soros giving so much money to democrats?

admit that it's a problem for both parties. bernie sanders, nothing, if not consistent. >> steve: you are right about that. >> lawrence: other news before we let you go because we know you are in front of the white house. is the exception for more of the nominees to be confirmed by the weekend? i know you probably saw john thune's comments which i think really seat red line. either can you do this the easy ware 00 hard way. either do it do you the week or i will make you stay this weekend. >> yeah, i mean, they have been very clear that there is no cause to delay this. and i think that if they don't get it done by the end of the week, they will be kept over in a weekend session. we are also hearing some announcements for next week for some of those confirmation hearings. i believe kash patel is among them. within the next week or two should be significant movement on the cabinet front, guys can. >> steve: thanks, jacqui. >> brian: thank you very much, jacqui. scott bessent passed through committee. pete hegseth passed through committee. pam bondi is about to pass through committee.

so rubio is the own one through there is no reason. just get it done. >> lawrence: it's going to happen. they have the votes. why use thee tactical delays when it's going to eventually happen? >> steve: thune and speaker johnson went to the white house yesterday to meet with trump. and according to politico, thune was told by the president, you know, get ready to roll on recess appointments. you know, the democrats hate recess appointments if the democrats gum up the works with the confirmation. and apparently trump told speaker johnson, according to politico, that it looks like the california wildfire aid could be good leverage to get that big debt deal through to help the republicans. and they are still split on whether or not it should be one or two bills. >> brian: i hope there is reform attached to it. really examine the water system with experts. they have -- this doesn't work. when you get get water out of the hydrant. you don't just put more money

early down a dry well. >> ainsley: i can't believe that even happened in america. >> brian: right. >> ainsley: hook up to fire hydrant and it's dry? they need to handle the forest industry problem. >> brian: is he going to be out there in two days. >> lawrence: going to north carolina first. i'm glad he hasn't forgotten about them. a lot of those folks upset. >> ainsley: sean has the first oval office interview with him tonight. i'm sure is he going to be talking about this. >> steve: meanwhile something else the president promised the clock is ticking ahead of the deadline for all federal dei offices. they are going to close at 5:00 today with the officials. the sweeping move made by -- made possible by trump's executive order a couple days ago. >> brian: brooke singman all over this story that she broke. hey, brook. >> brooke: that's right. president trump's administration quickly making moves on some of the promises he made during his campaign. the president issue, the executive order that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion offices must close by 5:00 p.m. today. and all of the staff must be put on paid leave.

the white house says quote, this order enforces long standing federal statutes and faithfully advances the constitution's promise of colorblind equality before the law. they also say that this comprehensive order is the most important federal civil rights measure in decades. so here is what needs to be done by the end of the day today. all department and agency heads must notify e. >> emily: employees of the closure and they are being placed on paid administrative leave. they have to take down all of the websites and social media accounts and any dei related trainings must be canceled and any dei related contractors have to be terminated. trump's move seems to have sparked others to follow suit brendan ca announcing yesterday that the commission will also be ending promotion of dei initiative. the fcc is going to eliminate it from their strategic plans and their budget. they are going to get rid of the fcc's adviser group and dei task

force row as i understand the action plan and curve analysis in their reports. carr will be joining the show in the next hour to discuss his decision to end these practices. as for president trump's order the deadline approaching less than 12 hours from now. >> brian: you can't say this is a surprise. thanks so much, brooke. you watch the private sector do it ahead of time. we watched walmart pulling out. target doing the same thing. and the fbi the week before president trump is about to take power we are going to just dissol this. a little bit of a problem. this is fantastic. leave with pay. >> ainsley: the president wants this to apply to the faa because he says millions of americans rely on safe, timely air travel every day. safety and competence should be the only job criteria for faa employees. we want the best people flying our planes. >> lawrence: period. >> ainsley: absolutely. >> steve: indeed. talk about something that's gotten -- discussed quite a bit in the last 20 hours or so.

yesterday, the presidential party, members of congress and whatnot, washington for the most part went up to washington's national cathedral for the national prayer event. and there at the lecturn was bishop mariann edgar budde. and she gave a sermon that it's described as a sermon but really it was a lecture where she told the new president go easy on migrants and refugees and members of the lgbtq community. if you missed it, it's gotten a lot of support in some quarters and a lot of criticism. here she is. >> i ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. there are gay, lesbian and transgender children in

democratic, republican, and independent families some who fear for their lives. and the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in paltry farms and labor in meet packing plants wash the dishes after we eat in. work the night shifts in hospitals. they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. >> lawrence: oh my god. >> brian: was that john or was that paul? >> lawrence: she didn't go through scripture. okay? she gave a political speech. >> brian: absolutely. >> lawrence: someone who comes from generations of preachers i would have walked out. i commend the president from being graceful. i'm j.d. vance looking crazy what is she talking about during a sermon? i don't think it was an appropriate time. if had you something to say to the president that may be a

little political. if you wanted to talk about the president exercising mercy. then you could have asked for the president for a few minutes of his time. mr. president, this is an issue that i feel. but don't get up there and try to preach a sermon that you cite no scripture for. >> steve: she is not going to talk to him because during the george floyd riots back in 2020, she said she had given up trying to speak to trump and said that he needed to be replaced. so, you know,. >> ainsley: look at the children hearing this message. >> steve: here's the thing. the president's team should have known that she could have said things that were inappropriate or, you know, stuff that they didn't need to hear or was not appropriate. >> brian: just google her. >> steve: that's all they would have to do. instead they put him in that position where she is in the front row. >> ainsley: why was she selected? >> steve: she is the bishop of that particular national cathedral here she is last night on cnn explaining what she wanted to do. >> i was speaking to the president because i felt that he

has this moment now where he feels charged and empowered to do what he feels called to do, and i wanted to say, you know, there is room for mercy. there's room for a broader compassion. we don't need to portray with a broad cloth in the harshest of terms some of the most vulnerable people in our society. >> brian: trump wants an apology and he made that clear. he said the so-called bishop who spoke at the national prayer service on tuesday morning was a radical left hard line trump hater. she brought her church into the world of politics in a very ungracious way. she was nasty in tone and not compelling or smart. she failed to mention the large number of illegal immigrants came into our country and killed people. many posited from jails and mental institutions. it's a giant crime wave that is taking part in the u.s. a part from inappropriate statements, the service was very boring and uninspiring.

she is not very good at her job. she and her church owe the public an apology. you got this historic moment and she decides to give a lecture. self-important person who probably had aoc jot some notes down for her. >> ainsley: she has every right to her opinion. we all have an opinion on this issue. i don't like it when ministers bring politics into the pulpit and lecture you. i agree with you, maybe pull him aside after the service, mr. president, may i talk to you a little bit. there is something in my community in a bothers me or that i need to tell you about. and just have an adult conversation. but do it privately. because now everyone is talking about this. >> lawrence: the issue that she is asking for mercy on when it comes to the border. did she go and speak to any of the families killed by illegals? how about coming to new york and talk to the cops that had fires shot at them. did you ask from mercy for the cops? that's why you don't get involved in. this she could have said let's bring the country together. let's have the spirit of christ.

she went into some political radical leftist -- i don't know the church. i don't know the structure. but whoever is in command should have a look at this. this is not biblical doctrine that she is speaking from the pulpit. >> ainsley: what phenom nation is this? >> steve: episcopalian, i think. here's the thing. if she is going to be the bishop and she is going to lecture the president every time he goes to events like that, maybe it's time for the president and washington in general to stop going to the national cathedral. >> lawrence: i'm for that too. >> steve: not far from the white house is saint mathew's where we baptized my son peter. or go to the basilica at catholic university. referred to as america's catholic church. i doubt that they would ever make anything political. and, if you remember, at the inaugural, who gave one of the opening prayers? cardinal dolan. was he political? absolutely not. he was looking to the future.

so,. >> lawrence: just don't go back. >> ainsley: is he non-phenom national. is he not going to get a lecture like that. >> brian: why doesn't he just say if you don't get rid of her or change your tone, if the president of the united states decided not to go to the national cathedral. that would be titanic news. >> steve: it would be. >> brian: put pressure on her to start doing the whole bishop thing. i don't know what form she filled out and how many interviews she went through. do you realize for her to get that job and to do that mass how many people had to sign off on it. >> lawrence: yeah. brian structure here. >> brian: hole in the schedule i'm filling in for somebody. >> steve: she has had that job for a while. to your point, ainsley she is absolutely protected by the first amendment. >> lawrence: of course. >> steve: she can say anything she wants. the trump team probably should have looked a little into her background. is she going to go ahead and sandbag him. >> lawrence: she can say whatever she wants but she is supposed to be representing the great book. and nothing she said there was representative of that. she is saying mercy but says

nothing about obeying the laws of the land. >> ainsley: i think people who have her opinion are reading the whole border situation in the wrong way. it's not that he doesn't have compassion. of course he has compassion on every single person. everyone is god's child. it's not about that. it's about tax payrolls paying so much for other people. we're pouring into the tax base. >> lawrence: that's right. >> ainsley: they are giving that money to people who are not here legally and not contributing. that he was all it is. and the crime. the people that are murdering -- laken riley, yes, you are right. she should have a conversation with their parents and have mercy on those families. >> brian: which just passed the laken riley bill had over 40 votes in the house alone. >> steve: goes back to the house today. >> brian: cnn. that's why she sat there. there is video of her in 2020 with her ridiculous mask on outdoors, you know, with the little vent on the side. screaming about donald trump and what he should be -- and george

floyd riots. that's not somebody who wants to be a leader for everybody. >> lawrence: no. she shouldn't be in clergy. >> brian: more al sharpton. >> steve: both sides talking about today. meanwhile, carley joins us right now. and you got news from overseas. >> carley: i certainly do. overseas in turkey officials have detained nine people in connection with a deadly fire at ski resort hotel. the fire broke out on a restaurant floor of the 12th story building yesterday, 76 people were killed and dozens more hurt. survivors say no fire alarms went off. >> the hotel's owner was arrested and those who work there are cooperating with authorities. and to a fox wildfire alert here at home. the number of dead from the los angeles wildfires has now risen to 28. this as strong winds increase the fire risk across southern california. and crews are making progress as they battle a wildfire in riverside county. that one broke out yesterday. it is now 40% contained.

and on a hopeful note the region is going to get its first rain in months. and he is not just a sharp dresser. is he, quote. fascinating, too. first son barron trump getting praise from luxury clothing brand nathan piers. in a recent interview explained youngest son what is like behind closed doors saying is he a super bright kid. is he well beyond his years in terms of experience history. is he fascinating to talk. to say 18-year-old trump has gotten a lot of attention lately for his height and his role in helping his father gain young voters. and those are your headlines, guys. barron was the one telling donald trump you got to go on this podcast and do this on tiktok. >> remember when donald trump said barron, i think they like you more than my other son. >> carley: i can't hear you. >> steve: the "new york post" talks how about to launch some time this spring or summer a luxury real estate venture with

golf courses. it's the family business. >> ainsley: what will he be doing? >> steve: golf courses in utah, arizona, and idaho. >> ainsley: amazing. >> steve: primary address is going to be mar-a-lago. >> brian: he doesn't need internship he is launching a business in the summer. >> lawrence: i do find it interesting he has a similar mannerism as his father. hand reaction, the way he stands like many children they adopt what their parents feed you. and the sway of the arm is definitely his father. the thumbs up. and if you look at the younger. >> ainsley: look there. i need more. >> steve: younger pictures of donald trump he looks just like him. >> ainsley: i bet he has a great personality. pretty funny. >> steve: grown up so much. remember that kid 8 years ago? >> brian: i have no idea. >> steve: is he an now. >> brian: enough to idea what his voice sounds like. >> ainsley: he spoke weeks ago. >> steve: people go wait, that's his voice?

it's on tiktok. >> brian: not going on that. [laughter] >> lawrence: you just had a stab a dagger in there. >> ainsley: promises made, promises kept. ice teams arresting public safety threats across the u.s. not without blue state resistance. >> steve: that's right. lots of lawsuits. border czar tom homan. tom, you are coming up next on "fox & friends." good morning. ♪ i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms... ...with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms.

single digits, teens all the way down to the golf. that's where we had our unbelievable snow storm. still have the potential for snow along the coastal areas of georgia in towards the carolinas. but, for the most part it's over. but what a map, right? historic winter storm over a foot of snow south of the new orleans area. we are shattering records here in new orleans. louisiana, mississippi, alabama, florida state, the snow storm record here for milton at 8.8 inches. that's more snow than new york city. more snow than chicago right now. so, just craziness. top flight delays, obviously, houston and new orleans right now. that's going to continue to be on the uptick. people just can't get out of their homes. because it's impossible to travel. they don't have the snow crews out there like you would typically see here in the northeast. temperatures still below freezing over the next couple of days. that's my biggest concern especially if we have people without power. we will continue to monitor. this also, real quick. southern california still fire weather danger. a couple of fires broke out near san diego.

watching those as well. fox weather.com for latest details. lawrence, over to you. >> lawrence: thank you, j.d. ice deportation officially begun. focus on threats to public safety. comes as border state arizona introduced their ice act with officially require the state to comply with ice detainers. but the state's a.g. speaking out against the president's plan. >> i also will not have any part of will fight the attempt to set up concentration camps and family separation camps in the state of arizona. >> lawrence: here to explain it all border czar tom homan. all right, tom, listen, before i get to these democratic a.g.s, can you give me the latest numbers on the border? >> absolutely. look. the greatest president in my lifetime he's back. because in two days, the last 24 hours, total apprehensions on the southwest border 766.

compare that to the 10 to 12,000 biden had at one time. cbp 1 releases, zero. chmv cuba, haiti, venezuela nicaragua releases zero. total of 766 across the entire southwest border. that is a game changer. >> lawrence: that is just some of the plans that have been implemented so far. let's talk about the 22 governors. democratic governors that plan on existing -- i'm sorry the attorney generals that are doing this. tell me the legal authority that they have and the legal authority you guys have if they plan on resisting federal law. >> look, i find it strange that the attorney general from arizona makes such statements because there is a lawsuit in arizona a few years ago show me your papers lawsuit, and highest courts in the land that said immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility. federal responsibility. she has no say in the matter. look, i said many times, we said right out of the gate, lawrence. right out of the gate we are going to concentrate on public

safety. she is saying she doesn't want public safety threats out of the community. i'm also insulted by the term concentration camps. are you serious? you are comparing ice agents we just lost a border patrol agent to a shooting up in vermont yesterday. and they are the gestapo? are you serious? concentration camps? ice has detention centers? they have the best standards in the entire industry i will compare ice detention standards to any state in the entire world. we have the highest detention standards. that's an insult and that's a lie. >> lawrence: it is insulting to the agents and men and women that do the job talk 'ice visiting the folks. final that have final deportation orders. people that are criminal aliens. what would have a person have to do to get a visit from ice? >> be in the country illegally first of all. there is nothing in the immigration law says you have to be convicted of a serious crime to be removed under the ina.

if you are under the country illegally ice can visit you. president trump has been clear we are concentrating on the worst first. the public safety threats to national security are threats. just yesterday in the last 24 hours, ice arrested over 308, 308 serious criminals. some of them were murderers. some of them were rapists. some raped a child. some were sexual assault of a child. ice is doing their job and prioritizing just as the president said they would. ice is performing excellent right now out in the field. it aand they are going to contie every day. >> lawrence: democrats loved you now they don't like you so much. back in the day you served in the obama administration as well. we had jeh johnson on last week to talk about the border. this is what he said with you. let's watch it. >> when i was in office as secretary of dhs, i made no significant decision on enforcement policy without having in the room tom homan,

who worked for me. kevin macleany who went on to be acting secretary under donald trump. two enforcement guys and then two people on the other side of the spectrum. >> lawrence: tom, you have been doing this a long time amongst both administrations. you just want the border secure. >> i want to save lives. secure border saves lives. when president trump locks this border down. less women and children sex trafficked. less i do under that journey. president biden had a record number of people die under that border. 600 percent increase in sex trafficking. look at a quarter million americans dead under fentanyl. we secured the border. the fentanyl death decreased. sex trafficking decreased. deaths on the border decreased. so it's about saving lives, secure borders save lives. plus, look you can't have strong national security if you don't have border security. >> lawrence: that's right. >> we need to know who is coming what is coming where and why it's come in. president trump game changer. already made a significant difference on that border.

the country industry already safer because of president trump. >> lawrence: tom, i don't want to give the criminals any time of leeway here so they can react towards this interview. but what's the next move? what's the next option on the table to get more safety in this country? >> well, dod will -- they are going to assist us on the border. they already started on that plan. military on the border. continue building infrastructure. we are going to continue building the wall. as far as the interior enforcement. we are going to keep looking for the worst. sanctuary cities i said many times let us into the jail safer for the agent to arrest a bad guy. safer for the bad guy to be arrested in jail. safer for the community. when you release a public safety threat back into the community, that puts the community at great risk. >> lawrence: that's true. >> of crime. and puts our officer at great risk. now they got to arrest the bad guy on his turf where he has access to who know what is weapon. puts the public at risk. sanctuary cities, let us into your jail. we are just trying to help

public safety in your community. help work with us. because you in the community. here is what happened. we will find the bad guy, when he would find him he is going to be with others. others that may not be a criminal priority. but, guess what? if they are in the united states illegally they are going to be arrested too. sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don't want, more agents in the communities, more people arrested, more collaterals arrested. that's a game they want to play? game on. >> lawrence: you are echoing what senator thune said to the democrats either you guys can do this the ease with way or the hard way but we are going to get the job done. tom homan, i can't wait to be out there in the field with you. brother. >> thank you. >> lawrence: one major company ready to support the cause, next. ♪ ♪

state backed enterprises has done that if you listened to the president's campaign and how we explain where we have fallen behind. we are a textbook example. >> steve: i'm a big fan of atomic power, given everything else. and we could have a lot of it but going back to three mile island and the movie of the china syndrome suddenly people go we have got no appetite for that look at europe. a lot of it is powered by atomic power. federal government under donald trump is about to make a determination. we need a lot of enriched uranium. the question is do you use the centrifuge technology from europe? or the united states? and, of course, you want american. >> yes. spoiler alert. you are absolutely right it is true. >> the trump administration and the incoming secretary will have an important decision to make. there is $3.4 billion that were passed into law by congress

wisely so that we no longer depend on others for uranium enrichment. and by the way uranium enrichment used not only for commercial power plants used for national security the choice is very simple are we going with european technology built in europe centrifuges built in europe or american technology supply national security that is built in america, relies on american workers and american skills. >> steve: i don't think a lot of people, amir, realize we have relied on a lot of international technology in the past. i heard donald trump talking yesterday how the european union. thinking about tariffs on them as well because they have not treated the united states fairly it. just makes sense if we are going to enrich uranium, there's not a problem with uranium supply, it's the enriched stuff and that's where you guys come in. >> exactly. not a lot of people understand this, but, 100 percent of the world enriched uranium supply, the enrichment part of it is

supplied by state owned foreign enterprises. that to me is a national security issue and that to me is the security of supply issue in the u.s. >> steve: we can't trust them, can we? >> they supported the market. if we want to be truly independent. that's kind of what donald trump has been talking about all along. sen truss energy. thank you for explaining this. i didn't realize that carley i didn't know that. >> carley: that is very interesting. do you know what else is interesting i don't need to tell you this a lot going on in the country why major ceos across the u.s. are reacting to donald trump's. setting up war rooms and hotlines to deal with more than 200 executive actions trump has taken so far according to the "wall street journal." one corporate law firm setting up a trump executive order tracker to follow all major move made by the 47th president

we need to build, baby, build. in california. not just rebuilding los angeles. we need build infrastructures. we need build housing. he knows how to do it. the second thing is, what's holding up things getting built in california? regulations, insane, environmental regulations, labor regulations, trump knows how to get rid of regulations. we need to do that in california. >> brian: cutting red tape cut environmental regulations driving environmentalists crazy. when gavin newsom and president trump meet we think on friday. should president trump say exactly what he has been saying to us to gam's face? >> yes. because he is right. he is right about pretty much every single aspect of this. is he right it was environmental regulations that stopped the clearing of the brush that made the wildfires into total inferno. is he right about the water. here is a simple way of thinking about it. the way it works. most of the people live in southern california. the water is in northern california in the sierra

mountains, syria nevada and the snow pack. reservoirs and whole system of canals basically two canals bringing the water from the north to the south. one is owned by the state. one is owned by the federal government built and owned by the federal government. trump, when he was last president said let's bring more water down by increasing the flight down the federal canal what good afternoon did to stop the water being taken out of the delta where it comes from was to reduce the supply in the states pipeline to counteract it. insane. >> brian: where dots water go. >> it stays in the delta. trump was saying yesterday quite rightly. they are crazy. why are they doing this? they really are doing it. they call it environmental reasons. it is prosecute-to-protect the official that are in the dell that. >> brian: here is what different now. you don't have to get democrat attention or republican concerned. everything was effected when the

firefighters went to the hydrants, there was no water. that's not a gray area. let's pursues that a democrat or republican. it leads this direction. you have everyone's attention now push you more to run for governor? >> we talked about it. i'm strongly considering it because it's obvious now we need massive change in california. mismanaged. incompetence is off the charts and seeing it now. driven by ideology. this far left ideology. that's why there is not enough water. that's why you got all these regulations. they don't want to build anything. they don't want to have the kind of energy supply. we talk about energy. we have oil and gas reserves in california that we could be using. instead we are importing it from countries like saudi arabia and iraq. it's insane. >> brian: by 2035 only electric vehicles driven there. see if anyone is still living there. steve hilton thank you so much. >> 2k3wr5eu9 to see you.
