could work. >> brian: forget the first 100 days. it's like the first 100 hours. trump moving at warp speed actually faster than warp speed. warp plus speed to address the problems our country is facing. >> with time, effort money, unfortunately, but they are all softball. solvable. >> steve: we have got the second hour of "fox & friends" right now. >> ♪ it is overwhelming how much news is happening. the natural occurrences of the weather challenges and fire challenges i got that built into the show and news business. but no one is prepared to thoroughly -- there is not enough time in the day to

thoroughly understand how much is changing in real time almost as if for the last four years guys we're going to be working on what we're going to be doing when we go back in four years. it's not just trump. it's everybody moving. they only have one cabinet secretary and is he changing the perception of the world right now with us pulling down culture flags. going to panama and the president on his first step. >> ainsley: going to north carolina, california. >> forward speed the best way to put it written by our producers. 460 arrests of illegals in the 33 hours. that was from midnight on monday until 9:00 a.m. yesterday morning. the numbers are probably higher than that by now. >> >> steve: i had supper at the sports bar at a bar talking to people what has happened in the last week and they knew i had -- we had all gone down to the inauguration. and they were so excited. every person at the bar it voted for donald trump. and that is in new jersey which

historically is a blue state. last four years so many restrictions placed all across everyday life and donald trump, you know, owe has hit the ground running trying to change as much as he can by executive fiat but also got congress that's going to work on all sorts of things crammed into a couple, one or two reconciliation bills. things are changing and people are optimistic. >> brian: steve would be going to play pickleball now is he drinking at a sports bar? what happened to pickleball? >> steve: it was 10 degrees. it is 13 degrees right now. i am playing pickleball tomorrow. >> brian: i'm just worried. steve goes out to a sports bar i see you alone in like hoping that someone -- anyone want to play darts? >> steve: it's a quarter till 3:00 no one is in the joint

except you and me. hey, what's your name? >> brian: i never heard you -- >> lawrence: that is pretty funny. >> steve: here's the problem at 6:00 i asked them to turn the sports bar tv's over to fox so i could see peter's story. hey, it's like -- oh, yeah, you got that letter thing. >> it was big news. sean hannity got exclusive interview in the oval office with president trump yesterday. the president talked about what has changed since the two sneangs attempts. here is a little bit of it people say to me a change in you. has this increased your faith in god? >> yes, i think so i don't think that has taken place, yeah. because, when you look at statistically, i should never be here. i mean, if -- i'm looking at an immigration chart. my favorite chart ever in

history. even if the numbers were bad. >> sean: talking about assassination and telling jokes. it was terrible. i remember that day. >> i had to turn exactly 90-degree angle. i said throw down the chart or something to that effect. they bring the chart and i'm literally looking exactly at the right angle. i couldn't have even been a little further or a little bit less it would have whacked because it an an eighth of an inch. >> >> steve: changed everything. >> ainsley: god spared his life. >> lawrence: brought him closer in his faith. he is who he is i think he is a more tamer donald trump than he was before. he was truthing all day and going to war with everyone. this is a smoother donald trump he knows the stuff he wants to do. focus on that. he has a supportive congress apps well as cabinet members that know him, love him, respect

the american people, it's just smooth sailing for now the way i look at turks lawrence. i look at him as a wiser president. >> lawrence: good way of putting it sean talked a little bit to the president last night in the oval room about, you know, where he has been over the last four years had donald trump won the election in 2020, i don't think he would have changed as many things as he did in the first 100 hours of his administration as he able able to with executive orders. because he had four years. >> lawrence: think about it. >> steve: look at all the stuff you know what? i wish we would have done that the first time. if i get another chance i'm going to do, this i'm going to do that he had game plan. he has been checking it off. he has a bucket list what he wanted to do in the second administration. that's what we are seeing right now. >> ainsley: like the last 24 hours he is talking about sending federal workers back to work because some people are

working from home he is saying you got to go back if applying for citizenship here and hard worker and tax paying american or someone who loves america like riley gaines' husband from england and trying to been get citizenship or green card answered can't because the biden administration said you have to have a cody vaccine so thrilled that donald trump saying no longer. he is already securing the border by sending 1500 extra troops. 1,000 army and 500 marines so that they can go and help. already arrested 460 criminals that are here illegally, sexual assault. domestic violence, drugs, and weapons crimes. so, he is moving then the confirmations we found out that r.f.k. jr. his confirmation hearings will begin next wednesday. >> brian: the senate is an abomination. they have slowed everything down. now got to work over the weekend ratcliffe sailed through give him a vote. kristi noem sailed through. give them a vote.

they filed cochlear implant. cloture.work saturday and sunda. i took two psychology classes in college and did very well. i will give my view on this. the reason why trump is so serene i know the assassination played a role. nobody can question his legitimacy again. and no one can question the word winner again. and no one can question the word toughness again is he legitimately tough we saw it? winner like nobody else legitimate? anybody have a problem with the last election or the first election? you never should have questioned the first election to begin with on every level. and then when you turn up and look on your cell phone jeff bezos called. elon musk wants to live with me. it's a big thing to boost you up now is he like how do i make the most of it. >> steve: what grade did you get in those two classes. >> brian: very well. one a and one a minus.

one was a lab and gave me a ratted. train the rat to press a lever and feed itself and i did. >> steve: hadn't that already been done? >> brian: lawrence, you have to love. this i had to go give them little incentives until he pressed the lever. i got the only male rat. everyone's stayed small and cute my was intimidating like a german shepherd. >> steve: a rat or mouse? >> brian: a rat. at the end of it i go what happens with the rat? they go it's yours. i let it go. i put it in the woods. it's gone. >> steve: it was domesticated it couldn't fend for itself. >> brian: probably dead now. >> ainsley: probably went and found a lever and escaped. >> brian: in the woods trying to find a lever. >> steve: this show is very wide ranging like an interview with donald trump. speaking of donald trump. the "wall street journal" says the trump administration is working on an executive order get, this to stop federal funding for gie gain of function

research. >> a lot of focus on what has been happening the last couple of years, lawrence. good morning to you and good morning, friends. the "wall street journal" reports that the trump administration is drafting an executive order that would temporarily to possible federal funding for gain of function research gain of function research. trump look at what is funding. accused scientists of playing it fast and loose in lab settings. the journal writes the goal stop scientists from conducting gain of function research on viruses. people familiar with the plan said. now trump has repeatedly blamed china for the covid-19 pandemic. sullingering the virus may have leaked from a lab in wuhan to begin with in 2023, the then fbi director said he believed the

lab leak theory was a valid theory. other intelligence agencies have been inconclusive president trump's nominee to lead the nih. national institutes of health has expressed support for a pause in gain of function research. he is awaiting senate confirmation. this week trump issued executive order on first day withdrawing the u.s. from the world health organization the w.h.o. happened first in 2020. president biden brought us back. in but there has been a lot of focus on what was happening behind the scenes with gain of function research. we know senator rand paul of kentucky has been outspoken about this saying he still wants to investigate what was happening you remember anthony fauci got a full pardon from president biden just before he left office earlier this week. >> steve: mark, we will talk about that in a moment. thank you very much. it was in 021 the u.s. intel report came out and said covid was probably the result of some sort of an accident rather than deliberate biological engineering. we may never know for sure but

we do know that what they do is they try to make viruses more virulent or contagious. ultimately covid killed 7 million people that we know of and 700 million people got covid. it would be nice to know whether or not that's where it came from. >> brian: the gain of function research was banned by obama. he is the one that said stop it, knock it off. they started doing it again on their own an the w.h.o. is fully behind it. >> lawrence: one of the people fully involved with this was dr. fauci. he was protected by the press. you couldn't ask him a question almost treated like a god or something like that. donald trump was asked about the president of the united states about sean hannity about the pardons that joe biden gave him before he left office. watch. >> all these people that got pardoned, anthony fauci, did he know that nih money through the ecohealth alliance was funding the wuhan virology lab? there seems to be texts and messages and emails that went back and forth.

you talk about the unselect committee, the january 6th committee they had predetermined outcome. general milley, all these people, the biden family members. joe biden ran and said he would never do preemptive pardons. it was an issue that came up when you were. >> he heard that i was going -- i didn't want to do it. i was given the option they said, sir, would you like to pardon everybody? including yourself? i said i'm not going to pardon anybody. we didn't do anything wrong. you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing is he didn't give himself a pardon. and, if you look at it, it all had to do with him. i mean, the money went to him. >> brian: pretty amazing, too. so many soundbites of him saying donald trump is considering a preemptive pardon of himself. shows that he is corrupt. and he did this. i watched a lot of people on the

left including tommy vitor on jesse. he totally condemned joe biden for what he did on the pardons. going back fundamentally democrats are upy set that joe biden has burned the place down when he left he knows he is done at 82. they are not done. since you lost, you have been awful for the party and these pardons mentioned last hour. 8-year-old and his mom. 20 years in prison and a drug dealer king pin. why is that guy getting out? what is he doing? >> lawrence: because they had a bunch of activists in the white house. did we really think he had reviewed all those cases? can you asked him today, can you tell me about this case? tell me about the person that you pardoned that he would be table to explain that. >> steve: not lawyers gave me this list. >> staff driven white house. made a promise and did it. just goes to show you. i find it so ironic that the

set-up was that donald trump was this guy. every single thing they v. accused him of, biden did it. he pardoned his whole family. >> brian: weaponized the the justice department. had people leaving his justice department for demoted role. prosecutor's office in manhattan with bragg. all the corruption with family businesses. they were in businesses before they came into office. what about his family? >> steve: speaking of anthony fauci he was one of the medical experts. because of covid, people should separate by 6 feet, at least of course we found out they made that up. didn't know where that came from. >> lawrence: they made a love lot of stuff up. you can work from home. particularly the federal workforce. there is a great item in the "wall street journal" today talks a little bit about how donald trump ordered everybody back to work. within the next couple weeks or so. and the "wall street journal"

says an anxious federal workforce bids goodbye to job stability and remote work as well. here's the problem. a lot of the members of the federal workforce, because joe biden let them work from home, they have moved out of washington, d.c. they got no place to live. so, if they are living out in ohio or oregon or wherever they are, they either are going to have to get some sort of exemption which i don't think there are going to be carveouts or quit their job. >> ainsley: employees felt nervous about the details of return to the office five days a week because the agency was already short on desk and parking space at white oak headquarters even before the pandemic. i guess we will all be sitting cross legged on the floor said a federal employee at another agency. that agency that they are talking that is in maryland is the fda. talks abouthow anyone hired with a start date after february 8th, those officers have been

rescinded. it says the fcc chair said he was shutting down the agency's dei advisory group. rescinding an action plan promoting dei and eliminating the topic from the agency's strategic plan and budget. and federal dei staff as you know placed on paid leave last night at 5:00. >> lawrence: look how special they think they are. when other americans have jobs they can't find parking space they have to go to the public parking pay to be in the parking garage. they say that they have elderly family members that they have to take care of. so does every other american. we have to go work. save up and try to get somebody to take care of home health and try to schedule. it's like they want special treatment for everything. and their salary is way better than some of the other private sector jobs. >> brian: we got to thin out those ranks. right? we got to close the billions of dollars being wasted on empty buildings, that's the low hanging fruit when you go cut the budget. number two is way too many workers that aren't doing enough. and if they are doing more, you

got to actually show your worth. this is the elon musk style. show your worth. show me what you are cooking or we a --doing or get rid of you. union will prevent that he passed an executive action that allows him to be able to fire federal civil service workers. they said for -- they lowered the threshold for tolerance know going to be able to fire them want to sue through a union, do it. this will be such a tidal wave of accountability. something that believe it or not teddy roosevelt did as a young guy trying to impress a president. came out and got actually a productive civil service working staff. he gave them incentives. he gave them feedback. that's where they think an effective doge will be doing. setting up systems in these dead end jobs that make them raise their sense of worth and accountability. >> steve: there are tens of thousands of people who work for the federal government. a lot of them are scratching their heads we hear things are

changing, you know, my job may change. the federal unions representing the workers are of course going to sue donald trump's administration on everything. but you got feel sorry for them in so much as it's like okay. i would like to go talk to my boss. but nobody has been confirmed. so there is nobody running the show. and that's why their immediate managers are getting questions are there going to be gender neutral bathrooms? those are actual questions that people are asking according to the "wall street journal." >> >> lawrence: great thing they have an example in the president of the united states works all day. if you don't believe me look at the marine outside the oval office there all night because he is working throughout the night. joe biden was in work late n bed by 4:00 p.m. is he leading by example. the federal workforce should do the same. >> steve: it was a part-time job for that guy in the west wing. >> ainsley: something to be said working in an environment with all of your co-workers. if you have a question, can you walk to your boss' office. can you walk next door. brian's office is next door.

question about the show. i could walk in. >> brian: have to go through staffers. >> ainsley: also something about getting up and being motivated to get dressed. even though you tell people to get dressed because i think a lot of these people who work from home are probably in their pajamas. we remember what that felt like. after weeks and weeks we were anxious to get back to the office. >> brian: admiral craven wrote a book make your bed. do the right thing make your bed and set your agenda. america, i think, because of the pandemic, things weren't going our way. everyone's life was still screwed up. but getting back to work is key. you find the relationships. a lot of times you end up meeting somebody in the future. you get a friend group. so you don't just sit in your apartment all day. now if you combine that with the fact that kids are being told not to bring cell phones to school, i have a sense americans will start talking to each other again soon. >> steve: i'm a success story. i met my wife at work. >> brian: there you go. >> steve: it all worked out.

>> ainsley: i met my fiancee at work. he is down in florida and i'm here because our jobs i have a curvy couch. >> steve: you work from the couch. >> ainsley: it does teach work ethic. this is what america was founded on. >> steve: millions of people who do now work from home remotely and their companies support that but there is a new sheriff in town. and donald trump wants the federal employees to come back to work and they better or they're probably going to be in trouble. >> brian: such a unique situation with you, ainsley. because you go to work and sean goes to work. he tossed to you one time and you tossed it back and never let go. >> steve: what? >> brian: is that a love story? >> steve: what do you mean he tossed to you. >> brian: tossed to you in the field. you tossed it back and he never let go. >> lawrence: that's beautiful. >> brian: how romantic. >> steve: you had me at hello. >> ainsley: you had me at the toss. >> brian: right, chris? >> ainsley: all right. can we move along. >> steve: what grade were you in that class?

>> lawrence: we got a fox news alert. thousands of firefighters are battling two new wildfires in los angeles county. >> steve: while you were sleeping, 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 weeks later. evacuation warnings issued earlier for brentwood and bellaire finally lifted up. >> brian: so they can go back. meanwhile to the north of los angeles, the fast moving hughes fire exploding in size to more than 10,000 acres. it's only 1% contained. >> ainsley: 54,000 people in that area are under evacuation orders and warnings. so let's check in with our senior meteorologist janice dean for our fox weather forecast. janice? >> janice: not looking good because we have winds in excess of 50, 60 miles per hour later forecasted today. and this exploded. you know, this -- yesterday around the afternoon, this was nothing. and then the fire broke out' and spread exponentially in just a matter of hours.

we have wind gusts close to 30 miles per hour. in and around the hughes fire. and it didn't take much because yesterday, i was looking at some of the wind gusts, it was like 20 to 30 miles per hour it. goes to show you it doesn't take a hurricane force wind gust to start or spread fires. and we are looking at the potential for 40 to 50 mile-per-hour winds this afternoon. we still have a high fire threat. not only today but through tomorrow. and then some rain will get in the forecast, which is great news; however, too much rain could provoke mud slides and rock slides. so, 100 mile-per-hour winds, so that forecast came true. we do have critical fire danger today through friday. yet again for some of these areas where we have several wildfires burning out of control. and there's the future radar. so normally we would be very excited to see rain in the forecast. too much rain on soil that has been charred is not going to get into the ground. it's going to just act as spillover, and bring the potential for mud slides and

rock slides. so, we are going to continue to pay attention to southern california. and this is the forecast over the next several days, so rain saturday-sunday. it has been historically dry here. and i don't know if that rain is really going to be beneficial, unfortunately. we will keep you up to date. >> steve: no kidding. all right, j.d., thank you very much. meanwhile, straight ahead, artificial intelligence, a.i., already used in a majority of american businesses, but how can you make it work for your personal life? >> brian: mark wrote the book on how a.i. is going to change everything. and he's here to tell us. when the temperature drops... you've got two choices. close your eyes and think warm thoughts. or open your eyes and get out here.

another computer program or app. or something like that. it's not. it's something that is going to change everybody's life. your book is great so it shows how wherever you are in society, whether you are retired, you are just starting out. you want a recipe, you can use a.i. and it's going to make your life easier. >> that's right. steve. i think with any new technology, people are reluctant to embrace it and use it. and what i wanted to do was move away from the tech industry and think about the average person. the beginner. so, within my book i break down how a.i. can be used for everyone as it relates to your career, your city, and your family. >> brian: give us an example. everyone talks about the assistant. how can you train a.i. to be an assistant in your life? >> well, here's the thing that is going to change rapidly. we are going to undergo a radical transformation with something called meta humans. think about your life, right, brian? you have so many things, you are so busy but if you could activate a version of brian as a

meta human that could go out and run errands for you, shopping, banking, or anything of this nature, you will be able to free up the rest of your time to do more important things, spend time with your family or build your career in different ways. so, the ai assistant will be customized to you, to your needs and you will be activating that individual that digital version of you in ways that are important to you. >> steve: so, marc, you are not talking about robots going to the stores. you're talking about something that you control that orders stuff and does stuff. >> correct. but i do think robots are on the way. and i incorporate that into the book as well. >> ainsley: well, marc, i'm so proud of you. >> lawrence: ainsley, go ahead. >> ainsley: we have known marc for a while he is very help with melania trump and secure those interviews. thank you. congratulations on book, nyu and knows a lot about ai and he is an attorney. marc, if i don't know anything about a.i. and i don't have any apps for a.i. but i want to. most of our viewers probably don't either. how do we do that?

where do we find these apps? what do you recommend? >> i think a very simple way to work it into your life is from a utility perspective. think in terms of everybody uses search every single day. and what you could do now, ainsley, is you can incorporate chant chatgpt as new search method. google today is a little bit annoying. you do a search and ends up with just tons of lines and links and advertising. advertising it's really difficult to cut through it all today now, with chatgpt or perplexity much better and smoother. more information, both sides of both arguments. and i think you will see a major disruption there my recommendation is to start simply with search. start with chatgpt. >> lawrence: marc, we have it on the big wall. you have easy steps a.i. to work for us. alex sills and sire. smart home devices. boost productibility and grow. what do you mean by all four of

those. >> what a.i. is going to do for our nation to be honest with you. is create efficiency. create more value for people's lives. economic value, too. think about this as a homeowner, it might be very expensive to warm your home during these months. so if you have the ability to take a simple tool like nest and incorporate that into your home. it's the artificial intelligence, the under pinning of nest that's allowing for your temperature to regulate and thus save you dollars. >> steve: you were talking a little bit about search. i use one of the google apps. now all you have to do is push a little button. if you want to know, okay, what is that thing? you take a picture of it and tells you what that thing is. if it is something you don't know about. one of my friends, who use doctor, actually, who uses a.i. all the time. he was telling me about how you can take a picture of a finished food and google now through a.i., will tell you how to make that food. you want to make that pot roast?

here's all the stuff you put in it. >> steve, i have to tell you your doctor is also going to talk to you soon about a new platform google created called amy. and it's going to help us with regards to finding diseases. uncovering illnesses. rare diseases they have already done some research. it's all in the book. they have done some research. and the ability to uncover these rare illnesses and diseases is at a very high level now. so doctors will be using that as a tool to help them diagnose. >> brian: we talked about that yesterday they can be an assistant too and can be eyes and ears with your doctor when you are having an appointment and kind of add to it. >> ainsley: all these women amy and alexa helping out. >> steve: and seare. >> brian: congratulations. >> thank you so much. i really appreciate it. >> brian: called "some future day how a.i. is going to change everything" he writes it in a layman's way not insider way. >> ainsley: each chapter he will give you instructions on how to

download a.i. for that particular topic fashion, medicine, warfare. >> correct. >> steve: how it apply to us wherever you are in the world. it's cool. i'm going to read in this arch. >> brian: i'm not going to do warfare. >> ainsley: what about fashion? melania's picture will be there. >> brian: and so will lawrence's. >> lawrence: wants the justice department to help him enforce immigration agenda. >> steve: ashley moody is in the russell rotunda and she is going to be on "fox & friends," next.

sometimes that's the only thing you can do. california is a great example of it. if you actually polled the people, they don't want sanctuary cities but gavin newsom does and radical left politicians do. >> steve: well there you have got president trump yesterday talking to sean hannity putting sanctuary cities on notice and he wants the department of justice to help him. a doj memo says that federal law be resists, obstructing and request litigating components of the doj shall investigate incidents involving such misconduct for potential prosecution. there is a kind of legalese there. but the key is people will be prosecuted it if they get in the way. in her first tv interview as senator from the great state of florida ashley moody joins us from the russell rotunda. senator, good morning. >> good morning.

>> steve: federal prosecutors at the doj were told that they need to start investigating local officials in sanctuary cities who hamper law enforcement as trump and his his administration go ahead and try to install these new rules kudos to the trump administration coming out like lightning with executive orders. it's going to go very far trying to round up so many of these serious criminals that were released at the direction of the biden administration. even if they were arrested. it was one of the first suits that i brought as attorney general pushes back on that. but biden was pushing these people into the community. so right now in communities across our nation, have you known criminals, serious felony offenders that are here illegally roaming our state. this directive from doj was very bold. not only did it reinstate a program that allows locals and

state officials to cooperate with the federal government sets up homeland security, task forces it encourages it doj lawyers and agents, if people get in your way, task forces identify and go after these folks and try to round them up. we're not standing for it. what policies in place to obstruct us. who is obstructing us. >> in particular, senator, what the doj is going to do, and we have got a graphic that shows all the sanctuary jurisdictions across the country, and there is a lot of them there are a lot of people in those states who do not want to help donald trump's administration investigators at the doj were told figure out how to charge those officials who were standing in our way. >> that's a criminal violation. obstruction of a federal function or a federal

investigation it's serious. it's a felony. you can bring criminal charges in some instances but they also set up litigators to go after folks governments people civilly if they stand in the way to bring actions to allow the feds to do their job it's their responsibility, clearly. i love having a president back in the white house who takes his responsibility to protect us seriously. >> steve: ultimately as the people in those sanctuary jurisdictions look at that map and think oh they are going to target me. this is pretty simple. either cooperate with the administration and follow the law or you are going to get in trouble you know you can do it this the easy way or hard way. >> yeah, follow the law he all the suits that florida brought, i as attorney general and pushing to protect our state and our citizen it was simple this is federal law. they are exploiting it. they are trying to say this is

legal this does not stop with the laken riley act. congress has to be bold and do more to fortify law so this can never happen again. >> steve: ashley moody brand new on the job. >> thank you. >> steve: quarter before the top of the hour carley joins us with news and once again starting with sports. >> that's right. don't tell brian. do you think he is watching right now to see what he is going to say about it. sports headlines to get to. startth starring with a hockey fistfight march between the toronto maple least and columbus blue jackets. two players dropped their gloves and threw punches 40 second before the referees broke it up. gave a little time to duke it out. blue jackets ended up winning 5-1. indiana fever star caitlin clark lights out off season workout on her birthday. the w special surprise from her coaches. >> happy birthday to you
