special. they said it couldn't be done. i made one phone call, the perfect phone call, only on fox nation. what do i want? >> thank you. >> this comedy special is going to be huge. >> if you don't like him leave him alone. if he goes to jail he'll win a third term. let's go. >> watch it stream, i don't care. >> and you won't want to miss this. president trump sitting down, exclusive interview with sean hannity. this is trump's first sit-down interview of his second term. you don't want to miss it, 9:00 p.m. right here on fox news channel. >> we were on the air as trump and the first lady melania came out. sean is perfect for this. it will be a great, great, bring everything you got to the table. watch it. here's "america reports with

john roberts and sandra smith." >> president trump, did president biden leave you a letter? >> president trump: he may have. don't they leave it in the desk? i don't know. oh. >> what's in there? >> president trump: it could have been years before we found it. >> trump revealing the text of that letter, former president biden left him in the oval office in a fox news exclusive. this just in. hello and welcome, everyone. i'm sandra smith in new york and, brett, it's great to have you today. >> john roberts is off today. this is america reports. president trump previously described this letter as very nice, even inspirational as he now reveals to the public what president biden wrote for the very first time. >> sandra: detailing biden's best wishes for his family as he shares hope for prosperity, peace and grace over the next four years. >> peter doocy has that

exclusive. he's life from the white house lawn with more on that. good afternoon, peter what was in the letter? >> pete: this letter that we know president trump did not open right away, i had a chance to hold it in my hand after he took it out of the envelope. in biden's cursive handwriting on his old letterhead that says joseph r. biden jr., president of the united states, with the seal. we can share with you now exclusively what else it says. he wrote, dear president trump, as i take leave of this sacred office i wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. the american people and people around the world look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history. my prayer is in the coming years it will be a time of prosperity, price and grace for our nation. may god bless you and guide you as he's blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding. joe biden, 2025.

it was written on one side of stationery. probably a little bit of room for him to add something else if he chose to but, that's all that he sent, and it really puts a button on the relationship between these two guys who know that president biden warned for a long time that he thought president trump was unfit for the office. none of that is in this letter. it's actually, as president trump described last night, inspirational. of course, this whole story of the letter started on monday, just a few minutes after the president set back at the desk for the first time in four years and this happened. >> president trump, did president biden leave you a letter? >> president trump: he may have. don't they leave it in the desk? i don't know. oh! >> what's in there? >> president trump: it could have been years before we found this letter. wow!

thank you. >> can you read it? >> president trump: maybe we should all read it together. >> let's read it. >> president trump: maybe i'll read it first and then make that determination. >> sounds great. >> president trump: peter, thank you very much, i may not have seen this for months. >> i hope it helps in the passing of the torch. >> i left him one in the desk. >> so we didn't get to read it altogether on monday. we did get to read it altogether on wednesday around lunch time. we know the president will continue to sign executive orders today while he waits for congress to figure out how to put together a spending bill. they want one big bill with all his priorities stuffed in there and while they try to overcome democratic objections to key national security-related confirmations including the ciman director radcliff. >> bret: peter, thanks. it's quite something the hand-over of power and passing the torch. we've seen it time and again and this is one that's coming out

public. there have been others. president biden did not put president trump's letter out public found in the resolute desk. >> sandra: thank goodness peter doocy was there to remind him. i think the american people appreciate this moment. they appreciate the exchanging of the letters, and, you know, passing of the torch, if you will, in the tradition, really, right, bret? >> bret: it's important. it's what we talked about on inauguration day. it's a sense that the country can move on. in the meantime you've got tom hullman, who we just saw, who is doing a lot of activity. this is like fast and furious, like drinking from a fire hose here. >> sandra: absolutely. we've got a lot more news to get to. more breaking news from the white house speaking of which an official tells fox news the pentagon will be sending 1,500 active duty troops to the southern border by the end of this movement we expect the trump administration to formerly announce that later today. the source says the troops will be at different locations along

the border and will serve in the same roles as troops already there. providing aerial reconnaissance, data entry, training, vehicle maintenance, detection, monitoring, and some other logistical support roles. 2,500 u.s. troops are already at the border. >> we're working off the target list. there was some discussion about chicago because the pacific operational plant was released so we've got to look at and reevaluate, does this raise safety concerns and it does but we've addressed that. >> chicago is bracing for a potential ice raid as the trump administration cracks down on the city designated as ground zero for deportations. democratic leaders there are urging undocumented and illegal migrants to learn their rights, they say. live from the windy city with that story. good afternoon. >> good afternoon. the trump administration is

looking to make a big statement by carrying out a massive deportation operation here in the windy sanctuary city. the illinois governor says he's heard that icy is targeting as many as 2,000 people, violent criminals who are here illegally. the exact timing of when this operation will happen is now up in the air after details were leaked over the weekend but borders -- agents in other cities have already arrested more than 300 violent criminal aliens since president trump took office. >> some of them were murderers. some were rapists. some raped a child. some were sexual assault of a child so they are doing their job. sanctuary cities, i've said this many times, they led us into the jail. >> bret: they have repeatedly blocked efforts to change sanctuary policies including one just last week that would have

allowed police to work with ice only in cases of violent criminals. they have spent the past week preparing to fight ices' mass deportation efforts by canvassing latino neighborhoods to pass out these flyers telling folks to not open their doors and to remain silent if ice agents show up. >> we're not going to allow fear to live in this moment, which is exactly why you see we have strategically every single level of government here today telling people, you have rights, and as long as we're here we're going to protect your constitutional rights. >> bret: the governor continues to say violent criminals who are undocumented should be deported but he's also not pushing for changes to his state sanctuary policies that would help ice to do that. >> if there are violent criminals who have been convicted of violent crimes, who are undocumented, they are supposed to be deported. that is the law of the united states and has been for quite a

long time. i don't want them in my state. i don't want them in my country. if you're going to commit crimes and you're undocumented, you don't deserve to stay in this country. >> bret: the trump justice department put sanctuary leaders on notice today by instructing federal prosecutors to investigate any officials who try to resist or stop the administration's immigration enforcement plans. bret? >> bret: garrett, thanks. senator? >> sandra: let's bring in minority leader and national former republican mayor council joe -- thanks for being here. as bret was mentioning earlier, the pace, it's like drinking if a fire hose. this is tom explaining what's already been done in just the first two days of trump's presidency. >> in two days, the last 24 hours, total apprehensions on the southwest border, 766. compare that to the 10,000 to

12,000 biden had at one time. chmq -- nicaragua-venezuela releases, zero. a total of 766 across the entire southwest border. that's a game changer. >> sandra: as he continues to remind the american public those that are prioritized, they are a safety public threat and that's what they are sticking to. your thoughts on how this is going? >> bret: this is welcomed news. not surprising. donald trump did of a hundred rallies over the course of the campaign. he read from the teleprompter every time telling us exactly what he was going to do on day one. promises kept the moment he took the oath of office and this is the net result. now here in a city like new york we're essentially bracing ourselves for some ice deportation proceedings. it appears that the nypd is not totally cooperating but they are also not resisting. they are not going to interfere with the work that tom and his ice team are doing. that's a huge step forward.

the mayor is sort of under the gun with sanctuary city laws here but where they can find some avenues of cooperation, we're seeing that in play. >> sandra: that is such a great point and they have to worry about their political futures as well. when you look at fox news polling this is a priority for so many voters and we saw that leading up to the election. in our fox news poll when asked the preferred u.s. policy on illegal immigrants, almost 1/3 said deport all of them. nearly 60% said deport if they are charged with crimes. again, that's where this administration and tom continue to focus their efforts out of the gate. what's happening in new york city and mayor adams on cooperating with federal partners, this is what he said at a news conference on tuesday. listen. >> we're going to continue to collaborate with all of our federal partners when it comes down to illegal behaviors. i was very clear can, for almost a year and a half now, those who

commit violent crimes in our city have violated the right to be in our city and community. >> how would you say that cooperation is going? >> every single one of new york's five counties shifted hard toward trump, passed the number in 2020 and 2016. he has read the tea leaves and realizes enough is enough. cooperated on things like gangs and techs trafficking and other big crimes. those task forces are still operating today and they are going after gangs which, in many cases are run by illegal migrants from venezuela and elsewhere. >> sandra: i want to play this sound from homan on this program on tuesday. just yesterday he made the case that the sanctuary cities, if they continue to choose can, to not cooperate, that things could backfire on them. here's homan.

>> safety threats, those who are in the country illegally that's been convicted and arrested for a series crime. let me be clear. it's not only public safety threats because in sanctuary cities we're not allowed to give that public safety threat in the jail which means we've got to go out into the neighborhood and find him. when we find him he may be with others and unlike the last administration, we're not going to tell ice officers not to arrest them. if they find others they will be arrested. so sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don't want. more arrests in the neighborhood. >> sandra: they are fleeing the city. it's better to leave before, apparently, is what they are saying, and being told in some cases, joe, final thoughts on all of that. >> homan is exactly right. the system before trump's first term -- new york city department of corrections would release criminals, people who were arrested for horrible and heinous crimes and they respect

ice detainers and hand them over. those persons were not just deported. they went through the immigration court system. they had their day in court and for the most part they were adjudicated to be gone. that's the best system possible. what tom has to do now because of those prohibitions he has to go door-to-door and find people, whether they are strong criminals or just happen to be the person living with a murderer or a rapist and they will all be lumped together unfortunately. >> sandra: he has a huge task at hand. we hope he's up to the job. good to see you, joe. >> please get the hell out of here. >> take off your mask. why don't you take off your mask. >> please get out of here. >> excuse me? >> get out of class. >> bret: the spring semester starting at columbia university and so is the anti-semitism

apparently. what is the school doing to stop it and is it enough? a student at that school weighs in. >> sandra: plus president trump is about to make good on one of his biggest campaign promises. fox news contributor mary catherine on the deadline to eliminate dei in the federal government. >> president trump: it's a big deal, merit. our country is going to be based on merit again. can you believe it? and bowel incontinence. but that changed when my urologist told me about axonics therapy. a long lasting solution that has really changed my life. this is not another drug, and it works. call (855) 602-0000 to connect with a bladder or bowel specialist. results and experiences may vary. stop suffering in silence. whether it's your future health, ♪ your future income,

>> i don't understand the objection to mr. radcliff. >> schumer stood here yesterday and said how we'll cooperate on qualified and capable nominees, which he is. >> sandra: frustration growing on capitol hill as democrats delay confirmations for some of president trump's cabinet picks including ciman nominee john radcliff who cleared a bipartisan vote 14-3. here's more on all of that and where this goes next. >> good afternoon to you. look, republicans are saying to democrats we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way and right now it appears it's going to be the hard way, which could mean they have to stay and work the weekend. so things got very, very tense on the senate floor last night when connecticut democrat senator chris murphy basically objected to a time agreement on the ciman director nominee john radcliff, and that essentially forced republicans to abide by the 30-hour debate rule.

what that means is, it ties up floor time for any other nominee. they can't do anything right now. it like a train station with one track. the other trains can't come in if the first train hasn't left the station yet. gop leader john thune was fuming at democrats. >> do we want to vote on these folks on tuesday or vote on them on friday, saturday, and sunday? because that's what we're going to do. this can be easy or this can be hard. >> now president trump has asked john thune and speaker mike johnson about recess appointments at the oval office when they all met yesterday. trump can circumvent the house and senate and call for congress to recess after a 10-day break that would give him the ability to appoint all of his nominees at once. however, sandra, that mechanism would basically torpedo the senate's advice and consent rule and some senators say they don't think it's time to use the

nuclear option. >> i don't know that we're at a point where that's even being discussed. i think everybody involved, and i suspect even the white house although i won't purport to speak for another branch of government, would prefer to just get it done the regular way. >> so sandra, as of this moment it does not appear the house and senate are going to adjourn to do those appointments but again it's only wednesday and president trump has plenty of time to weigh in on this. sandra? >> sandra: okay. adding to the drama. bret, i know you've been keeping track of all of this. trump, president trump says he intends to make as many as a thousand reset appointments but the details will be interesting as we get close to the weekend. thune obviously not happy with the way this is playing out. >> bret: here's the deal. right now, it doesn't seem like it's in the cards. that either the house or the senate will formally adjourn. one has to do it, article 2 of section 3 of the constitution,

if one of them does it and the other one doesn't the president could step in and say you're both adjourned and we're going to do these reset appointments. right now they don't have the votes in the house. the senate doesn't want to do it but think about this. there are 112 nominations right now that are up for confirmation. of to him, formally, 68 have been put forward. if they continue to do what they are doing now, like the timing, the 30-hour thing it wouldn't be until late march, until just those 68 get approved and we're talking some big jobs like omb, homeland security, you're talking about a lot, a lot of big jobs. so where is the anger and how does it build and is there pressure from president trump on the house to formally adjourn and then do what were talked about, these recess appointments. it's something to watch, it's not there yet but it definitely something to watch. >> sandra: slow things down. at the base they are going it would dramatically change the way things have been going.

>> bret: it would. he could make the argument i need a government but it's never been done this way and it would be challenged in the courts i'm sure. >> sandra: we'll keep track of it and keep watching it. >> president trump: we had the most ambitious action-oriented day of any administration in history. we ended destructive dei mandates across the federal government and returned our country to a merit-based system and a common sense system. >> bret: president trump, all federal dei staff preparing to be put on paid leave in just a few hours, 5:00 p.m. eastern time as president trump makes good on his promise to dismantle dei-related programs in the workplace. let's bring in mary catherine, knocks news contributor. mary catherine, sweeping, this deadline, essentially they would be on paid leave as well as take down any webpages that deal with

dei. what do you make of this and kind of making good on this promise? >> a theme of how jump was elected was the question for the american people and voters. does this work for you or are you being worked over? and in the case of dei programs, i think we've seen a lot of evidence that people are being worked over with this kind of thing. i like the way they are doing this. there is a lot of indication in these executive orders that someone has been working on these for a long time. that they have thought through them. they have had very good lawyers writing the language. the last trump administration was surprised it became the last trump administration, and some of their executive orders and some of their work reflected that. that's not the case this time around. he also has public support for things like this. he called them discrimination programs and that's what in actuality they have become. it's a reversal of the idea of honoring everyone equally, and for merit. instead you end up inherently making decisions by race and gender. you end up inherently discriminating against people and that's not what people want. i do think they will have to be

careful and i can see they are keeping an eye out for this, that each one of these organizations will disappear into the background of an agency and never really go away. it's also interesting because of biden's original executive order asking for these equity programs, every put in writing for the former president what they had done so great so now he has it in writing, what has been done and he can go find it. >> bret: right. there is part of an order here, they say if the webpage is named something else, the program is named something else you need to come forward with that in 10 days. chris, one of the anti-dei guys, said the move marks a stunning reversal of fortune from just four when black lives matter and others seemed unstoppable. equality are on the move. if you look at our latest poll, back in december, how important is it that donald trump focuses on ending dei programs, extremely varied, 53%. to your point, there is support

for this. >> sandra: people are very affectionate toward the idea of judging by the content of one's character and not the color of one's skin. that's something that's been a mainstay and the left flipped it on its head and gave it this new name that sounded innocuous but ends up spending a bunch of money to do the opposite. and, by the way, doesn't work at all. if you see studies, for creating diversity or equity or inclusion. sometimes it does the opposite by turning off the kind of people who are in favor of a more traditional, classical sense. >> bret: you just saw the slowdown on confirmations. are we getting ready for a cash crash here? >> sandra: i hope not. people voted for sweeping change and trump in charge. they would like to have him have his choices in that scenario. they have shown they can do a 99-0 approval. i'm sure they can get to closer votes on other people. >> bret: last thing, president

trump in that q&a in the oval office as he's signing executive orders, almost like an easter egg hunt, found the letter by biden, i wish you and your family all the best for the next four years and the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation. it is a tradition, just your thoughts on that moment? >> sandra: i think it's kind and cl clasie letter. i do think some of his supporters might be confused by such a nice letter to hitler. sort of strange. >> bret: mary katherine, as always. >> sandra: thank you, bret. getting words from the department of emergency communications in nashville of a confirmed school shooting. a call came in around 11:00 a.m. central time. 12:00 p.m. eastern. so just about an hour and a half ago, that there was a shooting in the cafeteria at a high school there. antioch high school. at least three people are confirmed to have gunshot wounds

at this time. we're just getting the initial information from there. the shooter then turned the gun on himself. this is just the early information that we're getting there. the metro nashville police department couldn't immediately provide the conditions of those who were shot. so we're waiting on an update on that. but the shooter is believed to have shot two students before shooting himself, and they could not confirm immediately whether the shooter was a student. so again we're waiting for more information on this. this is a shot from a few moments ago of that high school there. we'll get more information on this. obviously you can see students gathering. they were evacuated. eventually there will be a reunification. this is just an early word, confirmation of that school shooting. we'll bring you more from nashville as we get it. all right. now this. business leaders feeling optimistic about trump's return to the white house, were also preparing to handle -- prepared to handle his flurry of

executive orders. that's larry kudlow tapping the desk excited to be here. he's here and he'll join us after the break on "all of that." >> bret: he looks very excited plus snow in new orleans. snow in new orleans. rare winter storm. >> we made a memory with this trip. >> he's like, do you really want to go to the airport? where are we supposed to go? i'm literally homeless. >> bret: there you go, snow in new orleans. a rare winter storm wreaking havoc across the southern u.s. fox's weather -- fox weather campbell is life in the big easy to tell us more. brandy? >> hi, bret. this was a historic storm for louisiana. our first ever blizzard warning. we actually had blizzard conditions here on the lake front of new orleans, as the city is a little bit crippled by the snow that still remains on the roads. we're finding families here on the lake front, finding a way to enjoy it all.

we'll have that coming up. lord, you know what's on our hearts. you know where we struggle. you know where we need to be pushed. help us give it all to you. the good, the bad. help us turn to you in everything. amen. you should join me in more prayer on hallow. stay prayed up. “the darkness of bipolar depression made me feel like i was losing interest in the things i love. then i found a chance to let in the lyte.” discover caplyta. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta is proven to deliver significant symptom relief from both bipolar i & ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. caplyta can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. anti-depressants may increase these risks in young adults.

>> nothing like a little vanilla ice to start your day. new orleans among several cities hit by a rare snowstorm. the big easy brought to a stand still because of the storm allowing this guy to skate and play ice hockey on the frozen streets. fox weather correspondent brandon campbell live from new orleans. how is the city handling the storm? >> hi, bret. after eight inches of snow fell over the city of new orleans things have been brought to a standstill. the most snow to fall in new orleans since 1895. this is what we're dealing with in this region. interstates, they are still shut down. roads in new orleans as you can see still covered with snow as the state and local cities work

to start clearing the roads after contracting outside help. the airport, they also announced recently that all flights are canceled today but they might attempt to let a few in tonight. meanwhile, families, they are just taking advantage of this still moment. most people out of work. kids out of school. so you can see, they are finding the one place where there is a hill, live vie along the lake. we have callan and his dad here. callan, you're getting to see a historical amount of snowfall in new orleans. what does it mean to see this and be able to have fun? >> throw snow balls at my dad and we didn't have to go somewhere else. you could just stay home. >> it was fun. what did you think when you saw the snow coming down? >> a miracle. >> a miracle. i'll take this. this is something so rare for new orleans and something that may not happen for over a hundred years. it's been over a hundred years

since we've seen this. you're going to give us an example of what everybody is doing out here, right? let's see what you've got. he's going to go ahead and sled down the hill got. ahead. 3-2-1! wow! there we go. bret, this is something unheard of in new orleans. i'm from new orleans, and i have never been able to do that. we've had snow before, back in 2008 and 2009. but it was nothing like this. this is something, some kids may be seeing for the first time in their lives. so a great moment for new orleans. but again, it is, you know, causing havoc out here. once this happens the city kind of shuts down. bret? >> bret: thank you so much. go do some sledding and have a good day. thank you. >> i think it's more important that the general economy feels a little bit of relief on regulations across the board. the ability to get deals done and american companies can go out domestically and around the world and be the kings they are

supposed to be. >> the bureaucracy, the whole american public knows the bureaucracy is extraordinary. allowed to blossom throughout the country. >> sandra: president trump returns to the white house with the promise to loosen biden regulations. more than loosen, in some cases, completely roll back. i say that not kidding, that's the case, he's doing away with some of them altogether to let business do's what they need to do. >> i heard except from handful of ceo's, there is nobody there, it's a ghost town, that everybody went from davos to mar-a-lago. >> sandra: i polled this for you, our awesome dug it up. this is mary, this is where the

whole talk of the corporations, they are overnight assembling war rooms. some of the headlines almost read like this is a negative thing to deal with. not the case. listen here. >> i think the last 24 hours are just showing there are going to be a lot of changes that we all have to digest. at j.p. morgan we have a war room to set up, analyze and evaluate each one. they have been up all night and are working on it and i think time will tell. but a lot of this -- a lot of this is exactly what you would do to have a very pro-business environment. you look at the return to office for government workers. and so you just say to yourself, that's exactly what this whole panel has already done. thank god the u.s. government has done it and hopefully that will keep us ahead of other governments in the world so we can continue to compete.

>> sandra: whoa! big bank, big corporation. >> it's about time. look, this is going to be the most pro-business administration in i don't know how long. maybe in history. there is a great quote from stanley about how bidens were the most anti-business administration. trump is going to be pro-business. this is what business wants. we have to produce in this country. we want prosperity. we want the work force empowered. we don't want government bureaucrats in power. look what trump has done. basically in 24 hours, the first 24 hours, but you can call it 48 hours if you like, he has transformed policy with executive orders, and he's stretching the limits, but i believe he's within inside his own legal limits. stopped the culture wars at dei, stopped the war against foss skill fuels with climate change. he's defending our borders, he's closing our borders. he's using tariffs to implement

his policies. he's about to have a big beautiful bill that's going to include big tax cuts as well as deregulation. he's disempowering the regulators and the alphabet agencies one after another after another. he's changed the entire landscape in his first 24 hours. now, these companies may have been asleep at the switch. maybe they didn't expect this to happen. he's been talking about it for years and he's had plenty of time to reflect on it and he's just following through on what he promised during the campaign. promises made, promises kept. he wants prosperity and growth. look, the other thing is, he's the quintessential optimist. heed that speech. he's so positive, when he talks about the golden era for the united states. across the board in our culture, in our schools, in our economy, in our work force. he's not going by identities,

he's going by income. he wants to raise the wages and affordability of everybody in this country. this is a complete revolution that he's doing, and he's using the instrument of executive order so that means what? as a businessman, you dont's want to wait -- if you want to do something to help your company, you don't want to wait a year or two years. you want to get it done now. that's what he's saying. i want it done today. and that's exactly what he's doing. he is, by the way, taking out a lot of the bureaucracy through executive order. anybody that still clings to these culture wars, they are out. they are gone. they are history. >> sandra: he's making that very apparent for sure. >> i don't know that this davos crowd gets it. what that woman from j.p. morgan
