on day 1 telling federal agencies to have workers return back to the office as soon as pract practicable. only way to get employees back to office is to adopt centralized policy requiring return to work for all agencies across the federal government. agencies must revise tele-work and tell them to return to work by 5 p.m. tomorrow. unless disability or qualifying medical conditions. all qualify ing workers must return to work 30 days. the president sat down with hannity for his first interview since returning to the white house yesterday, pushing for one bill to move his agenda ahead at rapid speed. >> president trump: i don't care as long as we get to the final

answer. one big, one big beautiful, has a nice sound to it. i like that concept. it could be something else, a smaller bill and a big bill, as long as we get to the right answer. >> brooke: today 11 a.m. eastern time trump will speak at davos. >> todd: president trump's battle over legal rights with challenging his executive order. >> carley: lucas tomlinson is live in washington with the latest, hi-lucas. >> lucas: good early morning, challenging birth right should thesship will face first legal test in a seattle courtroom later today. half the states in the u.s. have sued over this new executive order. majority of states, trump did

not win in the election. trump ordered immigration and customs enforcement officers to carry out raids in sanctuary cities. first 33 hours of trump rurping to office, ice made 460 arrests of illegal immigrants, many with criminal records. they come from afghanistan, bolivia, columbia, dominican republic, el salvador, honduras, nicaragua, senegal and venezuela. sean hannity spoke to president trump in the oval office last night. >> president trump: venezuela, big abuzer. >> iran, syria? >> president trump: countries you don't think of, more than south america. >> lucas: trump vowed to cut off funding to get sanctuary cities to comply with law.

>> president trump: trying to get rid of them and end them, people in their communities don't want them. >> sean: would you cut off their money? >> president trump: i might have to do that. >> lucas: 1500 soldiers and marines will deploy to the border after trump declared national emergency. u.s. military trans port plans will fly deportation flights. >> carley: lucas tomlinson live in washington, thank you so much. fox news alert. notes good news for california. two new wildfires breaking out in the los angeles area, flames from the fire burning 20 acres along the 405 freeway into bel air, evacuation orders in bel air and brentwood and scorching 10,000 acres since yesterday and is 14% contained. 41,000 residents are under

evacuation orders or warnings. >> i had to high tail it home to get my animals and important things. it was never racking. >> first time since '89, '88, i have had to pack up and grab everything from my room and throw in the car. >> todd: 4000 firefighters are battling the fire from the air and ground. jd, we had a guest on from the santa clarita region. i asked him, you guys are ground zero for fires in california during normal times, how worried this will hit you? he said, we're worried, and it is here. >> janice: it exploded, i saw it yesterday in the afternoon and put on alert from our producers. it went from nothing to 10,000

acres. when we say human cause, it does not have to be malicious human, it can be human related, power lines coming down, if power is not off, that could ignite and spread fires. we've had warnings in this area for particularly dangerous situation yet again this week. winds are fairly calm, but it is so dry and doesn't take much to spread the fires. i-5 is shut down because of the fire. this just started yesterday afternoon and exploded. within the last couple hours, a couple new fires, sepulveda, heavily populated area. the hughes fire and the clay fire started this week and current wind gusts 37 miles per

hour. yesterday when the fire ignited, the winds were not that bad. we did have 100 mile per hour winds in the area of hughes, it was like 20 to 30 miles per hour. it is just so dry it does not take much to start and spread, it is so concerning, firefighters are depleted. it is hard to even imagine the pictures will say everything. >> todd: pay attention to the sepulveda fire, that is a heavily populated area that is ucla, a huge populated area. >> janice: that just started. >> carley: donald trump will be in north carolina and california for the damage that is still ongoing today. thank you. >> todd: speaker mike johnson hinting at a possible investigation into joe biden's

last day family pardons. >> carley: that is right, we have details coming up next. sg if they are not a crime family, why do they need pardons? a lot of attention will be paid to this and that is appropriate and we'll be looking at it, as well. or ga. ga can be unpredictable—and progress rapidly—leading to irreversible vision loss. now there's something you can do to... ♪ ( slow. it. down.) ♪ ♪ ( get it goin' slower.)♪ ask your doctor about izervay. ♪ (i. zer. vay.) ♪ ♪ ( gets ga goin' slower.) ♪ izervay is an eye injection. don't take it if you have an infection or active swelling in or around your eye. izervay can cause eye infection, retinal detachment, or increased risk of wet amd. izervay may temporarily increase eye pressure. do not drive or use machinery until vision has recovered after an eye injection or exam. izervay is proven to slow ga progression, which may help preserve

>> carley: senate committees are meeting today to consider doug collins, lee zeldin and doug burgum. some republicans are accusing democrats are slow-walking the confirmations. >> i think obama had 12 cabinet members confirmed and we have one. people, democrats don't want trump to put a team together. they are going to fight this. trump won the election, popular and electoral vote he needs to put his team together. >> democrats can work with us, against us, he's getting this team in place. >> carley: trying to push a vote to confirm john ratcliffe for cia. >> todd: connecticut holding this up, chris murphy. officials say seven san antonio police officers were shot last night while responding to a possible suicide in progress.

the suspect fired at officers when they arrived on scene. he was found dead by swat officers. officials have not revealed condition of the officers. carley. >> carley: president trump joined hannity for his first interview since entering the oval office discussing the pardons by biden for his family. >> president trump: i was given the option, do you want to pardon anybody, including yourself? i don't want to pardon anybody. the funny thing, maybe sad thing, he did not give himself a pardon. if you look at it, it all had to do with him. >> carley: a political st strategistative me marie joins me now. you heard donald trump, who has

been accused of every crime under the sea and then joe biden spent 50 years portraying himself as a humble, honest guy. this could be one reason donald trump won the election, speaks to issue of altogetheren t-- altogetheren tisity. >> you are correct, this comes down to integrity and donald trump, he might say things tamake people mad or out there sometimes, but what you see is what you get. this comes down to integrity issue. left and democratic party have had one for quite a while, they are virtuous people. what kind of president in last 15 minutes in office goes to his family and hands out pardons like candy.

so unpresidential and taints the office and i think his legacy, if he had one to begin with. >> carley: end of clip we just played between donald trump and sean hannity, the president did say joe biden did not pardon himself. how speaker mike johnson saying this yesterday about potential plan for the future. watch this. >> probably proves the point, suspicion, the biden crime family, if they were not, why do they need pardons, right? a lot of attention will be paid to this and we'll look at it, as well. >> carley: sounds like he is teasing an investigation and republicans have gone down that road before. is it something you want to see again? >> i think there is a big difference how this would be handled. we don't use the government to go after someone with a specific

last name. where there is smoke, there is fire, not pretend there is air foo. there have been egregious crimes, whatever is going on with the china issue, especially through the hunter biden allegation, very suspicious financial activity that might be worth investigating, especially if they were a threat to national security. this is a national security threat that i think is more importance than hush money to a former porn star. >> carley: first week of donald trump's second term in office, which means executive orders is phrase of the week. alexandria ocasio-cortez is weighing in on this. >> day 1 trying to shred foundational documents of american society and try to end birth right citizenship. we don't have to listen to him. it is illegal. we don't have to treat this

seriously, it's a joke. >> carley: play that, some democrats are cooperating, others are not. some of what donald trump is trying to do is facing legal challenges, how does this all play out? >> yeah, end of the day, i'm curious how someone like aoc gets elected to congress. have you read history? do you understand how the constitution works? there are certain checks and balances that allow government to function properly. you can't decide not to obey the law. you see this with what tom homan is facing in terms of deportation and border control. there is a thought we can ignore this if you are an elected official. american people voted for a mandate, we were loud and clear and won the popular, we're asking for american first policy in line with not just our

foundation, with our documents that are basic fundamentals of what america is and means. i think end of the day, it is one thing to go on your instagram or tiktok and spout random emotional thoughts, quite another to know the law. >> carley: thank you for joining us, have a great morning, appreciate it. president trump's executive order to end birth right should thesship is heading to court as some try to block the move. >> todd: texas congressman brian babbin will join us next.

>> todd: today a seattle judge will hear arguments from four states suing trump administration over birth right citiz

citizenship. >> chanley painter is here. >> chanley: today could set stage for a drawn-out legal battle all the way to the supreme court. judge considering request by four states to issue temporary restraining order and stop enforcement of president trump's executive order on birth right citizenship set to take effect next month >> the order will require federal agencies to no longer g give -- of undocumented mothers or mothers in the country on temporary visa unless the baby's father is a citizen or gr green-card holder. these states say this violates the 14th amendment. those born on american soil are believed to be citizens at birth. states order it would cause irreparable harm because thousands will be born within their border and denied full participation in opportunity in

american society. this lawsuit is one of several filed this week against trump administration on the issue including one from coalition of 18 democrat state attorneys general suing trump, bringing total to 22 states seeking to stop the executive order from taking effect. today's hearing will get the matter before a judge. attorneys for department of justice opposed the filing yesterday. >> todd: bring in texas congressman brian babbin. you introduced bill to bolster trump's eo, to end birth right tourism. it is so important because we have to be clear-minded on how much trump's executive order is going to face obstacles in the courts. there is tricky constitutional language that executive order has to get around, whereas your bill actually changes the law.

how does your bill do that? >> well, we -- this bill is a bill that i've had for several years. it is time has come and one reason for that is because president trump has made so many executive orders in the last 48 hours and incredibly, he is determined to seal that border and secure our border. when he wrote that executive order we welcome these lawsuits because these lawsuits be are being filed by aclu, and blue states and cities, we want to codify what he's doing with an executive order and pass this bill, get it through the house, senate and have president trump sign it into law so next president can't come along, another joe biden, and overturn

the executive order. we have to have it written in law and that is what it is for. we like to see this. it is going to have to wind through the court system and hopefully the supreme court of the united states will rule and we'll take care of this problem once and for all. birth right citizenship, the whole premise of it is based on the 14th amendment to the u.s. constitution, written for one purpose and one purpose only. that is to make the children of freed slaves right after civil war, to make them citizens. had nothing to do with bringing illegal aliens in or birth right tourism, multi million dollar business where people come, wealthy folks from russia and china, give birth to a baby here and good nness gracious, 400,00 women come across this border each year to have babies.

one in 10 is now an illegal birth and we have to get this right and done right and done quickly. >> todd: those numbers are staggering. to your point, if you can get this bill in place as law, i almost think some point these cases when they go before supreme court, supreme court will say these are mute, there is law that takes mantel from the executive order and move on from there. the trump administration getting ready to halt federal funding for risky research that critics linked to covid. a person familiar with the plan tells "wall street journal," goal of the order is to stop scientists u.s. funding to stop research on viruses that could endanger human health. shouldn't this have been done by the biden administration the moment we learned about gain of function? why does this fall on trump to

do in his first 96 hours in office? >> because of the inkocompetenc of the biden administration. it is hard to wrap your mind around the things they did over the last four years in the biden administration. deliberately opening our border up, deliberately funding gain of function, have dangerous viruses become more dangerous. on top of that, you have seen joe biden in the last few days, hours and minutes pardoning his whole family for violations of the law, pardoning fauci and others like him in the middle of this and helped to unleash with taxpayer money, american taxpayer money this virus on to the world. listen, trump is not afraid to take the bull by the horns.

he's a leader, he is not afraid to lead from the front and joe biden tried to lead from the basement, it was horrible. get back to normal. i agree with what president trump is doing. and i'm looking forward to the next four years of getting this country back. it's a new day in eshg m. i've never been moreoptistic about my country because there were a lot of people border ing on being in despair over the last four years. >> todd: we've heard that repeated over and over again this week, week of the inauguration. congressman babin. thank you. >> carley: president trump sounding off on democrat policies. listen here. >> president trump: one thing is happening is people are learning that they can't governor and their policies are terrible.

they don't use common sense. democrats don't use common sense. >> carley: trump justice department ordering federal prosecutors to investigate sanctuary city cities they believe could interfere with the immig immigration crackdown, places like chicago, where mayor brandon johnson says he will shield migrants from deportation. >> it is unconscionable this f fear. i have directed agencies and departments to stand hold and uphold local ordinance. >> carley: host of black excellence hour joins me now. you knew this fight was coming, what do you and other residents in chicago think about mayor johnson saying he will shield illegal immigrants from

deportation plans? >> we hope president trump is serious about imprisoning those who want to stand in his way. we are in the middle of an invasion and everybody coming across that border came with an invoice for the chicago taxpayer. nobody else is shielded from crime, neither do they. go back where they belong so we can reallocate tax funds to citizens of the city. >> carley: president trump talked about fear. he said i find it unconscionable this administration would present this fear. there is fear of getting your life taken from you, like laken riley and nungaray. do you think victim fear is something mayor johnson has considered? >> he's invested his political

capital into bringing venezuelans to chicago. they are building relationships and inviting people to come to our city. chicago was epicenter of the meezel outbreak last spring because they put unvaccinated children of migrants in schools with our children and disease spread. we care more for the children of chicago than the children of the invaders. we have to get our city to where we were before they arrived. >> carley: why would teachers union go to venezuela, communist country we have no relationship with? >> they said to learn about their socialism and they found them very interesting. america should do a deeper drive on why municipal teachers union was going to venezuela to build political ties and their

citizens showed up in our city. like they passed out maps . >> carley: that needs to be looked into. congress just passed the laken riley act. there is issue of sanctuary city cities that won't comply with federal law. here is what donald trump said yesterday. listen to this. >> we're trying to get rid of them and end them and people in the communities don't want them. >> would you cut off their money? >> president trump: i mieth have to do that. >> carley: how would you feel if donald trump cut federal funds to chicago over this issue? >> i would feel very insulted, all reprieve we receive in the city is from federal intervention, rather it be donald trump or president trump getting rid of illegals or the sh shackman decree, we need federal government here.

i don't think it is fair we're paying federal income taxes and not allowed to get federal help because our mayor has a political goal that does not align with the people. >> carley: p rae easily, thank you. >> todd: millionaire frank mc court and mr. be seen could team up to buy tiktok. >> carley: classic duo, their plans to save the app, coming up next. introducing new eroxon gel, the first fda-cleared

billion, sure. who will be part of this? frank mccourt has been working with kevin o'leary. he told axios that mr. beast, this youtube star, a wealthy man, will be part of this, too. he is entrepreneurial and we welcome everyone. listen to president trump talk about the issue of tiktok, china and spying and then i'll wrap this together after. >> president trump: you can say that about everything made in china. telephones are made in china. so many things are made in china, why don't they mention that? interesting thing with tiktok, you are dealing with young people. >> sean: they love it. >> president trump: is it that important for china to be spying on young people? >> sean: i don't want china to spy on anybody. >> president trump: they make

your telephones and computers, that is a bigger threat. >> cheryl: frank mccourt said he would join larry ellison, he said, it is not the money piece, it is the politics piece. china has to agree to this. xi jinping has to agree to allow bite dance to cell 50 or 100% to a u.s. company. as far as mr. beast and none of this is confirmed, a spokesperson has not said it is official. he said a lot of billionaires are calling him. it is fun. >> carley: birth name is jimmy donaldson, not mr. beast. on youtube, 347 million subscribers, so famous.

a lot of people know who he is and he's making a lot of money off the internet. >> cheryl: a lot of people are making money off tiktok, that is the hard part of this. people have businesses, successful businesses, retail, services for lawnmowers, whatever, take your pick. that comes from tiktok and people are making money here. we shall see. it depends on xi jinping and politics. >> todd: another big foreign investment. >> cheryl: saudi arabia crown prince told president trump the kingdom is ready to invest 600 billion in u.s. investment over next four years and saudi arabia foreign minister is in davos and told a panel they credit donald

trump with the israel-gaza hostage deal and they want to work with the united states and president trump and talked about the first term of donald trump and relationship to saudi a arabia. not surprised, it is a lot of money, how it flows will be nuts and bolts of the story. >> todd: cheryl, thank you. federal dei staffers placed on leave and president encourages companies to prioritize merit in the work place. dr. stanley goldfarb is the chairman of do no harm and joins me now. how significant was this move in improving health and safety of the average american when they go in for medical treatment? >> thank you. very good to be with you. this is enormous and the president is going to make health care great again, to coin

his phrase. it will do three things. it will have a huge impact on medical school admissions and demand medical school comply with principles for admission. famous case against harvard and north carolina conducted by a -- second thing, it will have a huge impact on private sector issues of dei. it will make medical schools and private medical societies and so on, have to comply with the fact there is no more dei that is pare of activities. it is huge waste of money and discriminatory practice that goes along there. as important as in medical

school admission, it is issuing changes in contracting and grant making federal government does. medical school and healthcare systems depend on federal government for grants and contracts and this executive orders no more activity going on in grant-making activities. nih has huge program, esteem program looks to give money and probably in order of billion dollars nih spends on various dei grant activities that donald trump advance scientific enterprise in this country. >> todd: first question through positivity, next question through negativity. were patient outcomes and health compromised because of dei past few years? >> you know, it is hard to answer that question.

we have to very it indirectly. medical students that have entered medical school through minority programs have performed less well, we have data on that. resi residency programs where individuals are trained, minority students perform less well. those who perform less well on board certifying exam have worse patient outcomes, we have to imply there is change in quality of healthcare, it is hard to measure quality in healthcare. healthcare is a team enterprise and hard to point to one person responsible for clinical outcome. my personal view, yes, we have compromised american healthcare and we need to stop at this point. >> todd: we are not saying minority caregivers are not up to par. a close family member of mine is

being treated for cancer right now and her doctor is an african american woman and she is saving her life. merit based. this individual did what she needed to do to get to this level and is doing tremendous work. we appreciate it. lawrence jones will look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." good morning to you. >> lawrence: coming up on "fox and friends," out west, another los angeles wildfire explodes to 10,000 acres. evacuation orders underway, we are tracking the latest. president trump criticized california's mismanagement and lays out his second term agenda. we have all the highlights from his "hannity" exclusive. the laken riley act sails through congress sending the first legislative win to the

if you use a normal hot water heater, grandma's going to die and our water system will be destroyed. as a former epa administrator, e, of course, standing for environmental, are they right? is the left right? is our environment at risk because of these trump moves? >> absolutely not. you know, during president trump's first term, our air got cleaner, we reduced pollution 7%. water quality went up. you can deregulate and can you protect the environment at the same time. we proved that the first four years and president trump is going to demonstrate it and prove it again. these next four years. >> carley: what kind of lawsuits is he going to be looking at when it comes to all of this? >> a number of the democratic states have already filed lawsuits to try stop some of the executive orders. which is unfortunate. because president trump understands what is hurting american families. particularly low income families. and that's the high cost of energy. and so his executive orders will

bring down the cost of energy. make things more affordable for american families and bring back jobs to the united states. the biden energy policies were off shoring energy to other countries and off shoring american jobs and he's going to reverse that trend. >> todd: you are a pretty accomplished lawyer in your own right. what evidence, what arguments county left make when they bring these lawsuits like carley was mentioning because it seems like if this is what the federal government says to do, and you don't have numbers to back it up to your point on my -- answer to my question, like what are they going to present to the court? >> you know, it's not about presenting the facts to the court. they are trying to slow down president trump's progress. you know, they know that he's going to be president for four years. they want to -- just like the senate democrats right now are slowing down his nominees, they want to slow down the trump administration so he can't deliver to the american public. so these lawsuits aren't about winning. these lawsuits are about trying to slow down the change that

president trump is trying to take for the american people. >> carley: yeah. this is also new. the white house budget office has restricted disbursement of funds to the inflation reduction act to be used for the green new deal and electric vehicle mandates. you are talking about the choice thing earlier. joe biden said that 50% of cars sold by the year 2030 had to be evs. you go car dealerships and they are saying no one is buying them. we have this fleet of cars that nobody wants to touch. so it has to be done by demand. let consumers choose and if they choose that ev, that's something that they want, then we will ramp up production that way. how do you feel about that. >> you are absolutely right. what most people don't understand in order to mandate the evs they were going to have to force the price of gasoline powered cars. 50% or two thirds evs that means august the gasoline powered cars would have to double and triple in price in order to get people to buy

electric vehicles. president trump is concerned about american families deciding for themselves what they want to purchase. >> carley: it's all very interesting and we are in a complete 180 from the energy policies of the past four years. andrew wheeler, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it? >> thank you. >> carley: ending things with this, the philadelphia eagles throwing snow to fans from flurry filled playoff games versus the rams over the weekend for $50 a pint. the memorabilia sold out in less than three hours. todd did, but i one? i don't think so. 70,000 in attendance who could have taken the snow home for free. 2 #-22. advancing to the nfc championship game. >> i was a conscientious objector do you want to read this story, todd? >> todd: absolutely not. >> carley: good to see you todd, good to see you.
