"fox & friends" begins right now.

♪ >> brian: 6:00 a.m. on the east coast, thursday, january 23rd, this is "fox & friends." we go right to a fox weather alert. two wildfires break out in los angeles. and they are spreading, fast. no, i'm not reading last week's headline. it is this week's. more than 10,000 acres already burned. thousands forced out of their homes. we are tracking it all. >> steve: and forget the first 100 days of donald trump's administration. it's more like the first 100 hours of donald trump's administration. president trump sat down with fox news for his first interview since returning to the white house. as you can see right there with hannity right next to the resolute desk, and he, our president says, our country has problems. and he has solutions. >> with time, effort, money, unfortunately, but they are all solvable. we can get our country back. but, if we didn't win this race, i really believe our country would have been lost forever.

>> lawrence: and, of course, getting our country back is top on the list. 1500 troops, helicopters and planes. >> ainsley: laken riley act failing through congress, sending the first major legislative win to trump's desk. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> brian: all right, president trump sitting down with fox first interview since returning to the office. assuring america he has the solution to our biggest problems. >> i felt that we shouldn't have had necessarily be here. could have been done -- a lot of work -- would have been over. we wouldn't have inflation. we wouldn't have had the afghanistan disaster. wouldn't have october 7th with israel where so many people were i would can. and you wouldn't have a ukraine war going on. but, with all that being said, i think it's bigger. it's bigger than if it were more

traditional. able. >> steve: second time in history somebody didn't have consecutive terms. >> they say it's historically bigger, i don't know about that. but i can say it showed us a couple things. it showed us that the radical left, their philosophies and policies are horrible. they don't work. you look at crime. you look at what is going on in the border. you look at what is going to happen to crime. the crime that is going to happen. i think we got there just in the nick of time. they are all solvable problems. >> sean: i agree. not easy. >> with time, effort, money, unfortunately, but they are all solvable. we can get our country back. if we didn't win this race, i really believe our country would have been lost forever. >> steve: kudos to sean hannity getting the first interview. last time we got the first interview of the presidency in the east room. but it was wide ranging and, once again, you see whatever you ask donald trump, he's going to

answer. and this is just such a -- once again, a breath of fresh air. so many reporters, so many tv networks wanted to talk to joe biden, but he was just hold up for four years and this is just completely different. >> lawrence: the president has a lot of energy, ainsley. he is not hesitating. he doesn't want to waste any time. if there is any sort of debate or anything about him keeping his campaign promises, i think that was pr demolished on day oe with the executive orders that he signed. and i just think that he believes he has the support of the american especially with him winning the popular vote. he will get it done and quickly. of course we will be talking about this later. is sending the military to the border. that is something that the generals, they didn't want in the last administration. they did not want him to go after the terrorists. the cartel. and he is going to do it now. >> ainsley: 460 arrest of illegals, including those with criminal histories like sexual

assault, weapons assault, drugs weapons and crime already arrested since monday after the inauguration. in fact, august of these army soldiers and marines, 60% increase in active duty forces since the inauguration. heading down to our southern border. i liked last night that sean said i probably shouldn't say this, i remember after the 2020 election you and i had a conversation. because they had been friends for 30 years. he said i asked him, you asked me, mr. president, if you thought it would be better for me to come back in four years. like winston churchill like grover cleveland to serve those two terms nonconsecutively my answer to you i thought it would be bigger if you came back. trump said it's turning out to be bigger. he talked about tiktok. we are so worried about china kids doing crazy videos. what is more of a threat they make our phones, they make our computers. >> brian: i thought it was interesting. i never heard this. why did you run again?

he said if i didn't get some votes last time. if i got 50 million i wouldn't have done it. 70. he got the most votes but loses by, what 15, 20 million. that's why i knew i was coming back. he said i like to get things done. i have always gotten things done. when he asked is there any doubt i got things done? i thought that was really special. also, when he talked about the pardons, he let everyone go on j-6 pardons. look at the other pardons on the other side. today as every network spends 45 minutes of every hour talking about the january 6th pardons, many of which people were just walking through. some of which were serious. four years is enough, number one. number two, they just -- joe biden parkland donned a guy that killed an 8-year-old and his mom he was in the middle of testifying against other gang members. the horrendous people that joe biden has pardoned and they act like january 6th was the only date on the calendar that mattered. he doesn't care.

he is like caution to the wind. this is what i'm doing. this is what i know i'm doing. i know this job now. >> lawrence: i think what puts cold water on their argument when it comes to the cops and protesters. we watched our cities be burned for months and they assaulted cops for months. there was no pushback. there were no charges. the feds weren't even on the ground to prosecute these people. so, i don't want anybody targeting cops. but i think what ended up happening according to some of the reports and pretty much confirm it debate going on who to pardon and kept going back and forth just pardon them all. i'm not going to do this if this is your effort to delay me getting the j 6 pardon people overcharged with a lot of legal scholars agree, then i'm just going to pardon them all. remember in the news when leaving office are you going to pardon myself? i didn't want to pardon myself or family because we did nothing wrong. the media ran with that they

couldn't believe that it could be considered for him to pardon himself being look exactly what joe biden did. he pardoned everybody in his family preemptively just in case the had trump par doned none none of those at the federal level is going to go to north carolina tomorrow and california as well. take a look at western north carolina. keep in mind, it was just last week lost their homes because of hurricane helene. they were getting a knock on their hotel rooms. you got get out. today your last day. on monday apparently this transitional residential act has been extended two more months for those people. the president is going to look with his own two eyes what happened to asheville and other places and l.a. which has been disseminated in some spots by the fires. he made it very clear last night

chatting with sean federal response, fema, not so good and he has a better idea. have the states do it and the feds will give him the money. >> i will say that los angeles has changed everything. because a lot of money is going to be necessary for los angeles. and a lot of people on the other side want that to happen. >> sean: north carolina? >> the democrats don't care about north carolina. what they have done with fema is so bad. i'm stopping on friday. i'm stopping in north carolina. first stop. because those people were treated very badly by democrats. and i'm stopping there. we're going to get that thing straightened out because they are still suffering from a hurricane from months ago. and then i'm going to -- then i'm going to to california. fema is a whole other discussion. all it does is complicate everything. fema has not done their job for the last four years.

you know, i had fema working really well. we had hurricanes in florida. we had alabama tornado. unless you have certain types of leadership. it gets in the way fema is going to be a whole big discussion shortly. i would rather see the states take care of their own problems. >> lawrence: you have to preach the his instinct on the calendar how news is you go with the latest story and move on from the tragedy to the next tragedy. he was scheduled to go los angeles first. and then he was like what about the people of north carolina? we have completely forgotten about them. they essentially the administration were calling them liars. i was down there on the ground when they said fema is not here. we are not seeing them you say you have all these trucks but we are not getting. let me reroute my schedule i'm going to go there. >> brian: democratic governor, again. listen, unlike the wildfires that always hit california. they never get hit in the mountains like this. so this is all brand new to them

so smart about fema. fema gets praise when states know what they are doing. florida, jeb bush they knew what they were doing. in louisiana the president on some level bush at the time took it for granted are they going to get it done? what do you need fell apart. took all the blame. north carolina sitting on their hands horrific stories about only going to democratic households if they support trump don't go and ended up being true. now is he going to go out to california. he has interior secretary in doug burgum who i know he has talked to and one of the brightest people in the country. is he going to say tell me exactly whereby the water would work going into the pacific ocean absolutely true. in front of gavin newsom, i hope president trump says i told this guy to rake the forest. i told him to reroute the water. you made it worse they need to know that this governor has totally let them down not just

the mayor. >> he said is he going to get rid of sanctuary cities how are you going to do that cut off the money. >> basically the only way can you do it. those residents don't want to be a sanctuary city. gavin newsom wants it and these democratic leaders. he also, when we interviewed franklin graham on our show the other day at the inauguration. he said -- i said how is everything going in north carolina? he said ainsley they still need a lot of help. is he with samaritan's purse. i'm sure -- remember it was after the win on or about it was in october when after the hurricanes hit he went with franklin graham in atlanta in the d.b.a. area. i'm sure they are working together. >> i think gam is going to get an earful. and i think gavin newsom is probably going to say you know what? you are right about that. that reservoir should have been full. you are right. people should have gone ahead and cleared that dry brush. >> do you really think gavin newsom is going to say. >> there is no -- i'm telling

you. >> ainsley: so great if they could work together. i'm hopeful. >> i watched him do an interview he said the president was totally not true about the smelt fish and water. i watched him do it. in times of tragedy you need to do a podcast. he went and did that he defended himself and tried to exonerate himself in the middle of a fire. i think it was like 10 percent contained at the time. >> they got the evidence. the reservoir was empty. it had been empty for months. that just simply at the height of wildfire season, particularly given how dry historically dry it's been. it's inexcusable. let's see what happens. maybe they can get on the same page. meantime get out to california. >> ainsley: happening again. thousands of firefighters are battling two new wildfires in los angeles county. >> overnight crews gaining the upper hand on a brush fire that tore through 40 acres along the 405 freeway just east of where the palisades fire is still burning. evacuation warnings issued earlier for brentwood and

bellaire they are now lifted. >> steve: to the north of los angeles the fast moving hughes fire exploded to more than 10,000 acres. and it is only 14% contained. 54,000 people in california are under evacuation orders at this hour and warnings in that particular area high tail it home to get mayan malls and make sure i important things it was nerve racking. >> first time in all my years living here in 89 and 88 i have ever had to pack up and grab everything from my room and throw it into the car. >> unbelievable. the wind is expected to pick up later today the gusts approaching 70 miles per hour. check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for our fox weather forecast. j.d., what are we looking at? >> janice: listen, we have known all this week that we were into an extreme fire danger. a particularly dangerous situation yet again this week. and unfortunately, we in a fire break out that spread exponentially in just a matter of hours.

so 10,000 acres. 14% contained. this is the fire that we are talking with about. and winds right now in excess of 30 miles per hour. and this time yesterday by the way. when the fire broke out. the winds were not that bad. so this is a situation where it doesn't take much to start or spread fires and that's the concern because those winds are going to go up throughout the day today. they are the current winds as we mentioned like 35 miles per hour in and around the los angeles area. through the peeks and valleys here. and then the wind gusts throughout the day today we could reach 40, 50 miles per hour in the area where that latest fire is burning. winds calm down and we actually could get some rain in the forecast this weekend. but the concern there is too much rain is going to cause mud slides. so, this is just a terrible situation. we did have wind gusts in excels of 100 miles per hour. so the forecast was right. the fire weather outlook today, yet again, critical for all of these areas where fires are currently burning. and that will continue friday. then we'll have a pattern

change. we'll have that specific moisture moving in. and, yeah, an inch of rain is awesome. but, when you have the burn areas there that are so fresh, that's going to mean the potential for mud slides. that is a huge concern. so, after months and months without any rain, they're going to potentially get rain, and then we have the problem of the mud slides and the rock slides. this is not a good situation. also, really want to quickly make mention, all of the areas that got the epic snow storm. we still have very cold temperatures. that snow is not going anywhere. and people are still urged to not travel. so that's another story we are following. fox weather.com for all of your details. >> lawrence: can't catch a break. >> ainsley: janice, what day does the rain hit california? >> janice: the weekend. we were excited about that. now national weather service says too much rain is going to exacerbate some of these areas that now could have mud slides. homes that are standing if you have a rock slide or mid slide

which typically hans after a burn season where you get the rainy season, that potentially is also going to be a disaster. >> steve: we saw a couple houses slide down hills. >> janice: i'm obviously very concerned. you want the rain but the bad side of it is there is so much damage right now. and the ground is so delicate that this just could also. >> brian: new orleans has no idea how to get rid of the snow. you see in florida, pensacola buried in snow. desantis kids playing making snow men in florida, the governor of florida. this is incredible. >> lawrence: thanks. j.d. >> lawrence: the pentagon deploying 1500 troops to help secure the u.s.-mexico border. >> brian: and ice are arresting hundreds of illegal immigrants accused of serious crimes they had them targeted. >> ainsley: lucas tomlinson is for us. >> lucas: the number growing at the southern border grow to as many as 10,000. might not be engaging in law

enforcement. they will engage in enforcing the southern border. the u.s. military will be flying transport flights to deport illegal immigrants and one marine officer told our own jennifer griffin his forces will deploy with full combat load. quote, our response will be immediate. we are going to and ready to respond if the cartels shoot at us, we will not stand by. we will be taking whatever equipment we would send in a marine expeditionary unit were deploying overseas. 1500 soldiers and marines deploying to the southern border represents 60% increase from those already there. and sanctuary cities, ice agents have launched early morning raids effectively ending the biden era catch and release program where detained illegal aliens were given a court date and released under an honor system. trump's new border czar wants to deport 700,000 illegal migrants committed crimes. first 33 hours of president trump returning to office. ice agents have made as you see here over 460 arrests. last night the president sat down for his first interview

since returning to the white house with our own sean hannity inside the oval office. >> we talk venezuela. that's a big abuser. but these are countries. >> sean: iran. >> congo. countries that you don't even think of. much more than south america. >> lucas: under joe biden more than 8 million people entered the u.s. illegally. largest influx of illegal aliens in u.s. history. guys. >> brian: a lot of picking up to do. mayor new york city calm down. obviously a huge illegal alien population many of which don't commit crime. still go to the doctor, still go to the hospital, still do your thing if you need to. because, by the time they get to the criminals, hopefully we will be dealing with something for people who have been here for a couple of decades. >> steve: in particular, and so 10,000 military to the southern border. they are not going to be enforcement. they can't because of posse comb at that time tas. apparently there is some move in

the administration look at part of the insurrection act of 1807. >> border patrol agencies are going to block the migrants on grounds that they have passed through countries where communicable diseases are present. they are not going to say what the diseases are. are not going to say what the countries are. no, you you have been exposed you can't come in they have been coached by the cartels say you are here for asylum. only two bmp officials in the u.p.s. government will be able to authorize people coming in to the country and release an asylum seeker. one person is the brand new border patrol chief mike banks and deputy. okay. can i come in?

i'm going to claim asylum and they go you got talk to the boss. he is not here. go. you are not come in. >> lawrence: can i talk to the criminals for a second? saw that list of almost 500 people. the president was sworn in on monday at noon we are just now arresting these people right now? do you think we just found out about them monday at noon? where was the biden administration all these people have just been walking around the country? why did we let them sit in our communities for so long. that's incredible. fugitive task force it takes months to plan these. the fact they were able to get almost 500 people off the street that is a success. >> ainsley: that tells you they have been working on this a long time. they knew their addresses and what crimes they committed.

told us it would happen and it did. donald trump did what he said he was going to do. listen to the people. how many diners did you go. to say economy and immigration. think about that number 460 people already. that's 460 little girls or families that could be spared from another crime. >> brian: look at the "new york post" headline today the ice man cometh. arrests happening 460 need. tom homan told us on or off camera. the justice department is emphasizing immigration. threatening to prosecute state and local officials who resist the trump agenda. go ahead letitia james, go ahead resist the agenda. maybe we will go arrest you and all these other people that don't want to cooperate. sanctuary city laws that could hold you back? jewels understand back. if you are not going to help. don't get in the way or face some legal problems i feel bad for the local cops. get conversant on it before you

put your uniform on today. if they want to pick up venezuelaen gangster you were told to ignore you got to do it. go knocking on the prison doors. start ripping them off. stop paying for them. >> lawrence: the local cops are not being asked to make any arrests of illegal migrants. what they are saying is. what the feds are saying is, once you have them in custody, you don't get to just release them. we just want to go and pick them up, honor the detainer court order that has been given. honor that. we don't need you going to door to door trying to please federal law. we will do that once have you them in custody. keep them there until we pick them up. >> steve: what we have seen in the last hours or so over the last couple of months donald trump and his team in particular tom homan, they have been sketching it all out. we are going to do this, this, this, and this. they need so many people at our southern border to do all of this stuff, the "wall street journal" has got a story that apparently the administration is

trying to get more law enforcement authorizations to different branches of the federal government. and essentially give them the same power that immigration agents have. and so the dhs is granting immigration enforcement authority to agencies at the department of justice including dea, atf, and the u.s. marshals. so they will all be able to do the same stuff border patrol can as the whole of government shifts to our southern border to stop the invasion. >> brian: all this gets down to southern -- to anywhere from tajikistan to southern america. this is not the time to come to america. it can ripple up, joe biden come one, come all. don't do it. don't mortgage your house to get your family here you will lose your money. >> ainsley: did he shut down the app.? >> brian: he did. and building huge facilities for remain in mexico. they know it's come. they didn't ask permission from the president. they are not getting.

in. >> steve: just as tiktok came back online. the cbp 1 poof. >> ainsley: crying because they knew they had lost their court dates. the laken riley act sales through congress sending the first major legislative win to president trump's desk. >> brian: congressman mike collins introduced it. how he says it makes america safer, next. ♪

>> ainsley: this morning the man accused murdering four university of idaho students appears in court for the first time in months for a critical pre-trial hearing that will be live streamed. the court is controlling whether or not we will be able to see bryan kohberger on camera. his legal team is trying to get the judge to throw out nearly all of the evidence police collected against him. chanley painter is here with more. chanley. >> the defense targeting the very heart of the prosecution's case, the d.n.a. evidence. prosecutors say places bryan kohberger at the scene where four university of idaho students were found murdered in november of 2022 in court filings, the defense argues their client's constitutional rights were violated when police used a process called investigative genetic genealogy or igg. it's a med of analyzing d.n.a.

using public ancestry data bases to identify potential suspects. we know this method led the authorities to bryan kohberger's father. the defense now claiming everything that the authorities found after the igg analysis should be thrown out of court. including items found in kohberger's home and car. his defense also contends the search warrants in the case were tainted by police misconduct. meanwhile the prosecution team says there is nothing unconstitutional about the use. igg and kohberger's relatives voluntarily provided their own d.n.a. to the jeanette genealogy service. arguing defendants have no reasonable right to privacy for d.n.a. that is left at a crime scene. and the former criminal student faces the death penalty if is he convicted in the stabbing deaths of victims. speaking out ahead of today's hearing demanding justice in an nbc interview and asking for prayers on family facebook page.

i have spoken to kayleigh's family many times telling me they are hopeful in the boise idaho judge now that the trial was moved from moscow, idaho where it took place. the trial is set to begin on august 11th. lawrence, over to you. >> lawrence: chanley, i covered that story for months on the ground. it will be a big legal showdown. we will be following it. thanks, chanley. the laken riley act now heading to president trump's desk mark the first bill to become law in the second term that direct ice agents to detain illegals accused evidence theft-related crimes. allowed states to sue the department for harm caused by illustrate legal immigration and permits the deportation of illegals who have harmed others. some democrats outraged by the measure. >> without being found guilty of a crime, there will be rounded up. that is what is inside this bill, a fundamental suspension of a core american value.

>> enough is enough. it will separate famo continued discrimination. it is shameful that my colleagues are giving in to racist and fear-mongering at the first opportunity to pass legislation. >> lawrence: it's racist. here to discuss is georgia congressman who introduced the laken riley act in the house michael league. you got some support support. democrats the majority of them actually that didn't want to vote for this bill. i don't understand why. >> you know lawrence, good morning. >> lawrence: good morning. >> anybody though voted against this bill stating they were obligor it illegal criminals broke into our country and evading their neighborhoods and committing criminal activity it. doesn't make sense. this was a bipartisan solution to a bipartisan problem. you will always have a few. most of the debate, that was a little snippet. most of the debate really had nothing to do with the actual

legislation. it was just a rant. >> lawrence: let me ask you this congress one of the issue they are having local cops in police departments the beat cops want to do their job, the politicians, the chiefs do thei. will this bill require them to hold them if they have already been found, you know, criminal in another charge? >> yeah. what it this bill does. contact ice unless a major crime happened. that's why the laken riley murder is a perfect example. you take ibarra, he had committed minor level criminal activity and cited for it. crime cited for shoplifting the week before he murdered laken. this bill inserts minor level crime. these people are coming neuro country. they are bringing their criminal trade. and seeing what they can get

away with the more they get away with the higher the escalation and criminal activity to the point where they are raping and murdering american citizens. if local law enforcement pulls them over and cites them for shoplifting, why not go ahead and be able to contact ice. it's just common sense. let ice detain them, process' them and by god get them out of our country. >> lawrence: when you look at the data, most of the people they are offending against are against the minority immigrants to this country. so, i don't buy the racism argument. let's go to the president who laid out his agenda and goals in the second term with sean hannity last night. let's watch it? >> we can get our country back. >> one big beautiful bill. two bills, do you chair at this point? >> i don't care physicalee get to the final answer i like the concept of one bill. >> sean: by definition sanctuary

cities aiding and abetting law breaking. they will get federal funds. >> we are trying to get rid of them and end them and a lot of people in those communities don't want them. >> lawrence: off to run right now. he is not sparing any second. >> you know, it's a beautiful thing. i think president trump has talked more to the american people in the last 50-some odd hours than we ever heard of any subsubstance than the biden administration or joe biden the last four years. is he not afraid to tell the american people what he sees. is he a firm believer in america first. and he laid out his agenda again during the inaugural address. he told people what he promised them during the campaign and he told them that day and now we are going to deliver on that. >> lawrence: congressman, i appreciate the repetition. so people don't forget about the agenda. congressman, thank you so much for joining the program. you can tune in to part 2 of sean hannity's exclusive interview with president trump on hannity tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern time on fox news channel.

amendment guarantees citizenship for people born in the u.s. also happening today, several senate committees are meeting to consider more of trump's cabinet picks. including va nominee doug collins, epa nominee lee zeldin and doug burgum and some republicans are accusing democrats of slow-walking the confirmation, specifically john ratcliffe for cia director. senate republicans are now rushing to get him confirmed. he only needs 51 votes to pass. and those are your headlines. steve, over to you. >> steve: thank you very much, carley. >> carley: you are welcome. president trump reshaping the landscape for artificial intelligence in the united states announcing a couple days ago the new star gate venture. the investment offering a chance to enhance both our economy and national security. lead a.i. adviser to the united nations and author of own the a.i. revolution neil joins us now. >> hey, steve, how is it going, man? >> steve: it's going okay.

people are excited about a.i. two years ago, 2023, the biden administration put a whole bunch of guardrails on a.i. how restrictive were those? >> i mean, they were quite restickive. people benefits we could actually get. bad actors are l. do bad things. good actors need a nudge in investment. we curtailed some of the opportunity innovation unlock in our country. >> steve: big nudge the other day when you had the guy with sam altman from open ai and softbank and oracle talking about the star gate project. may spend up to half a trillion dollars. effectively the president gave you the green light hey, use ai and just figure out everything. >> well, we got some really big problems to try and tackle here. and i is a really powerful tool to do it. i always tell people it's not software it's like an high

energy intern. take whatever work we give it. right? but we got to teach it but got to make that investment and get the data and actually do that nurt immigration, economy, government efficiency are all on the table now. and to leverage ai. let intern help us figure those things out. >> steve: sure. i know elon musk is working on doge the department of government efficiency. explain how ai might be able to figure out -- but there's a lot of bloat and there is a lot of redundancy. what would a.i. do? >> so, a.i. would actually help streamline a lot of these operations. we know there is a lot of fat in the system. think about the dmv for example. i ask the question like how much does like one interaction with a customer cost i can't get an answer somewhere like 10 to $60. person online what they're doing. this is where the power of a.i. comes in actually analyze those transactions.

what is going on. cost find ways to streamline. like a lot of people come in for just questions. you can set up an a.i. chatbot or virtual assistant where people ask the questions very conversationally and get the information they need. wait for people. wait for all these systems. we really cut out a lot of extra, you know, fat or waste in the system. and focus on the value-add activity. the government actually provides. >> steve: i heard a news story yesterday talking a little bit about how businesses, america's corporations are very optimistic about their profits going forward because a lot of them are going to use a.i. just to be more efficient and do smarter stuff. so this is good for all of us. >> 100 percent. this is the interesting part is that look a lot of those routine mundane task we hate to do a.i. is amazing at actually doing that and doesn't complain. so there is a lot of cost

efficiencies. we are talking about that manufacturing jobs can be brought back to the united states because of co-boss. robots work side by side with humans. >> how close are they to an ai newscast who would interview guests? >> you got protection. i believe in china they do have an a.i. news anchor interview. >> steve: great. something else to worry about. neil, thank you very much for joining us. very interesting. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me on, steve. >> steve: top of the hour more troops headed to the border. that's not all. we will tell you what else the president is sending. boots on the groundwise ♪ chocolate fundraiser. with the chase mobile app, things move a little more smoothly. ♪

>> in two days, last 24 hours, total apprehensions on the southwest border, 766. in the last 24 hours, ice arrested over 30 #. 308 serious criminals. some of them were murder hers. some of them were rapists. some of them raped a child. >> brian: ice is back big time

and order is coming back to the border. the pentagon 15 lurk active duty groups. boost security and airlift out migrants also killed that app. and log in and get him. robert, your thoughts about the message coming from tom homan but also marco rubio. they are coming together on this. >> they sure are look, we should be so proud of president trump. what is he doing is restoring public safety to the united states. on the southern border, they are talking about using the alien act of 1798, which allows the president to treat it as an invasion. they are protecting states, which is another constitutional duality of the president ftos or foreign terrorist organizations. we should all be proud of what he is doing. is he protecting american citizens. if you think about it for a moment, brian, if he can get 700 out in two days, then he can get, you know, our seven out in

two days, he can get 700 out in 20 days and 7,000 out in. >> brian: we know they are coming through our southern border where are they going? mexico. building huge facilities in mexico they note stop sign is up. the other thing is that's where the secretary of state comes in. and vice president president biden did a good job under obama meeting with these countries saying hold on to them. what's the problem here? why are they leaving? you are going to lose aid trump said last time if you continue to allow this to happen. i'm all for marco rubio, working together as a team loyally execute policies beneficial to the american people. by the way, that hold in mexico is the old norm, and it goes back for decades.

what you do is you only are allowed to apply for asylum if you are coming from an country in which you have a individual fear of persecution well founded individual fear of persecution. when you arrive in mexico and you are safe this is just a restoration of public safety as we have always known it. back to the reagan years. and i think that part of what we have gotten used to is a sense of insecurity. because we have allowed ourselves to be unprotected at the border and thank god for trump. is he pulling us back to the norms. >> brian: real quick in the state department the word went out pull down anything that's not the american flag no. more black lives matter flag, no more gay flags. stop financing parades for transgenders in el salvador. all that culture stuff is con. how does that resonate with the culture of the state department that were probably the ones that put that up there to begin with that don't get elected? >> well, what it is really

sending a signal and rubio did that and the president i'm sure commissioned it. look, we fight and i die americn flag i'm also 10 years navy intelligence. we don't fight and die for individual causes and pet projects. the president is making it crystal clear, the american flag is what flies over an american embassy it. represents our bill of rights it. represents our constitution and way of life and it represents freedom. that is what we stand for. >> brian: right, that's where our money and effort should be going. i think marco rubio suddenly he gets it always did that's why he got the 9 votes in the that the. exciting times. donald trump is also activating the justice department to help him with his border efforts. newly minted senator ashley moody is here to tell us how this could work.
