company back in 2023 just to see them pull the plug on two wind projects off the coast of new jersey citing the high costs. critics have raised concerns that wind turbines interfere with military radars, conservationists claim they disrupt fish migration and kill whales. noaa says the whale deaths are unrelated. 10% of america's electricity now comes from wind. >> texas, the oil capital of the world getting 22% of its electricity from the wind. iowa, 60% of its electricity coming from the wind. this has become foundational to the hartland of america. we need to keep moving forward. >> the fate of projects already under construction is uncertain. new york planned on building five wind farms. we'll see if they get there now. bret. >> bret: bryan, thank you. >> we're going to north

carolina. it is a horrible way the way it has been allowed to pester and we'll get it fixed up. should have been done months ago from the hurricane that took place almost four months ago. north carolina has been treated very badly. we're stopping there and going to go to los angeles and take a look at a fire that should have been put out if they let the water in and they still haven't. so i think we'll have an interesting conversation. >> dana: president trump talking to reporters on the south lawn. four days after returning to the oval office. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. good morning, bret. >> bret: good morning get. bret baier for bill hemmer. president trump finishing off a whirlwind week. the president wants to see the aftermath of the storm damage in north carolina and the wildfire disaster in california as he remains critical of federal and

local response. he will be ending the day in nevada to thank voters for his election victory there. >> dana: the trip capping off a busy week of bold actions marked by executive orders, border crackdown and government reform. more on the actions we've seen from the white house. >> it has been non-stop. president trump's multi-stop state tour today caps off a busy week of executive actions reshaping the federal bureaucracy as well as the people working in it forcing many federal workers to have to get back to the office as soon as possible. as you and bret mentioned today is all about making sure talking to the americans who lost everything. the president was on air force one getting back into office for the first time. today the president and members of north carolina's congressional delegation will get a briefing on the hurricane helene recovery effort and meeting with those families directly impacted. later today the visit out to california generating a lot of

attention accusing members of the california government of mismanaging the disaster. one thing we're trying to understand what kind of invite was extended to add many schiff. schiff said he declined to visit due to votes in the senate. trump has been issuing a lot of different pardons, two dozen just yesterday when it came to pro-life protestors. he signed executive orders on thursday working towards developing a national digital asset stockpile. the administration also slowly but surely starting to get some officials confirmed including yesterday the new pick for c.i.a. director. he was sworn in late thursday. >> john ratcliffe won't give any remarks. every piece of knowledge in his brain is classified. he will head straight to langley and do the job the american people need him to do. john, are you ready? >> the president has ordered the government to declassify files tied to the deaths of president kennedy, robert f. kennedy and

martin luther king, junior. the release will take several days. the king family is reacting saying they want to see what's in the files first before the public can get a chance to see it and the roll-out is expected to take a few days. something trump talked about for the first time when he was in office. >> dana: he did indeed. mark meredith, thank you so much. >> do you have any reaction? >> we'll appeal it. they put it before a certain judge in seattle, i guess, right? and it's no surprises with that judge. >> bret: president trump fighting against the judge's block ending birthright citizenship. david spunt has the latest live from washington. >> good morning to you. this was a ronald reagan appointed federal judge handed president trump the first loss of his second presidency

blocking this executive order that would redefine birthright citizenship, not end it. inside a packed courtroom the judge called the president's order unconstitutional and put a 14-day freeze on the executive order. 22 states sued in separate lawsuits. it would end the current practice of giving citizenship to a child born in the united states even if both parents are not citizens. >> this is step one. we have a long way to go. you are an american if you were born in the united states. >> this restraining order sets the administration on a likely path before the supreme court. it could be down the road. house republicans introduced a bill to end birthright citizenship as we know it even if it became law not enough. birthright citizenship mentioned in the constitution 14th amendment adopted in 1868 and reads all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction there of are citizens of the united states and the state where they reside. d.o.j. is focused on the six

words, bret and subject to the jurisdiction. other spokesperson telling fox news they look forward to defending president trump's executive order which correctly interprets the 14th amendment to the u.s. constitution and also says they want to argue and present a fulmer its argument to the court and american people who are desperate to see the nations laws enforced. if it makes it to the supreme court and justices rule in favor of it we'll see what happens. if they rule against it the president could try to amend the constitution. it takes 2/3 of the house and senate to approve, plus 3/4 of all 50 state legislatures. a long battle that we're waiting on. >> bret: a lot trickier. david spunt, thanks. >> dana: shannon bream joins us now. the interesting thing for me i've been interested in this issue partly because way back when i believe it was early high school the debate topic that we had for that year was about birthright citizenship.

and now you have these 22 states suing president trump about this and congresswoman omar thinks the executive order would fail at the supreme court. listen here. >> do you think they will get that if it does ultimately appear in front of the supreme court? >> no, i think the supreme court will agree with the judge out of washington who, as you mentioned, was reagan appointed. he understands the law and i do believe that the decision would most likely be, you know, somewhere 6-three or so. >> dana: i prefer to get my legal analysis from you. what do you think could happen? >> i think it's highly possible. people have to remember sometimes they talk about the supreme court as if it is a rubber stamp for president trump because it had so many republican appointed justices. they have told him no on many occasions in his first term and beyond. they've said no to trump policies. so i think that they very much

will make their own independent decision and look at the language of this amendment and the answer he may get might be one he doesn't want to get. this is very difficult heavy lift. you may have to amend the constitution again if you want to get rid of the language that people can plainly read in the 14th amendment >> bret: the original intent of the 14th amendment and how it is written specifically, there is some wiggle room there. that's the legal argument they are making for this change. >> one of those is looking back to where our country was and wanting to make sure the children of slaves had the full embrace of u.s. citizenship. a lot has changed in the country since then. in a different place when it doms our border and people here and what is happening. also this question, a phrase in the 14th amendment that talks about these people and being under the jurisdiction there of. one of the argument may also be these people are not citizens of this country, they say they came from venezuela. they are under the purview of that country.

that's another phrase they may try to argue. it was clear the trump team knew this would immediately go to court. they want to see it move as quickly as possible now it's there. >> dana: wanted to ask you about this. president trump signed pardons for pro-life protestors. people might have forgotten that they were arrested and jailed, convicted. watch here. >> next we have a set of pardons for peaceful pro-life protestors who were prosecuted by the biden administration for exercising their first amendment rights. >> president trump: 23 people were prosecuted. they should not have been prosecuted. many of them are elderly people. they should not have been prosecuted. this is a great honor to sign this. >> dana: this happens right before the march for life that happens today. >> our viewers will know some of these stories, 89-year-old

grandmother. a mother with a 2-year-old child sent to jail. they're caught up in the pardons. president trump is trying to make a wrong right. this comes under the face act supposed to go both after those who threaten clinics, whether they are pro-abortion, anti-abortion, wherever they fall. what people will argue in the last couple of years the critics feel the d.o.j. has been selective in prosecution and mortar gothed at pro-lifeers who are demonstrating at these clinics. i talked to a couple of lawmakers including chip roy trying to repeal the face act all together feeling it has been abused and enforced in ways it shouldn't be when people voted for it. senator tom cotton. the chair of the intel committee joins us on sunday exclusively trying to shepherd through the tulsi gabbard nominations, one of the toughest ones this week. tiktok in a split with president

trump about that. our legal panel will dig into the birthright citizenship questions and other things as well. >> a new sheriff in town. we're going to enforce the law. we are going to get rid of the bad guys. president trump is doing exactly what he told the votes he was going to do. god bless him for doing it. >> bret: the crackdown continues. ice arresting hundreds of illegal immigrants with criminal histories. the latest on the raids ahead. plus president trump putting fema on notice suggesting it needs a major overhaul. can the agency reform? >> we've been yelling into the void it feels like for months that we still need help. we still need help. it feels like it is very intentional that trump is coming here making it his first stop that he cares and that change is going to happen.

>> bret: fire crews battling the los angeles wildfires. fortunately rain is now in the forecast out there giving them a helping hand. fresh wildfires erupting yesterday. all of these coming as president trump visits california. jonathan hunt is live in pacific palisades with the latest out there. good morning, jonathan. >> good morning to you, bret. we're just about three hours away now from the red flag wind warnings being lifted here across the l.a. area. that will be a huge sigh of relief for everybody who has suffered through so much over the last couple of weeks. but as the fire danger now begins to dissipate, so the focus turns to rebuilding the communities like this in the

palisades, which has been completely and utterly destroyed by the fires. so president trump's visit here on the ground in the pacific palisades later today will be of note. we understand that california governor gavin newsom plans to greet president trump on the tarmac when he lands. there will be much to discuss given that the president has been very critical of california and l.a.'s response to these fires and preparedness for them. criticizing, for instance, the lack of water being delivered from northern california to southern california. the governor said yesterday that is entirely irrelevant to what happened here and the preparedness for it. listen to governor newsom. >> that project has nothing to do with the fires here, nothing. full stop. not he said, she said. not just an assertion a foundational fact. >> now with the fires basically

being under control, everybody's thoughts turn to the rain coming at the weekend and whether it could bring mudslides. the threats keep coming. >> bret: jonathan hunt live in pacific palisades. thanks. >> president trump: fema will be a whole big discussion very shortly. i would rather see the states take care of their own problems and the federal government can help them with the money. fema is getting in the way of everything. >> dana: president trump is warning fema needs a reboot. as he heads to survey the widespread damage in hurricane-battered western north carolina and the aftermath of catastrophic wildfires in and around los angeles. rusty is a retired police officer and lives in north carolina. call for number three. brock long used to run fema and he spoke to bret bare last hour. watch.

>> i think unfortunately fema is immersed in terrible bureaucratic process. recovery, response and recovery has become way too complex. put together a presidential commission to not only reform, holistically reform fema but the entire profession of emergency management. >> dana: what do you think about that? >> i think he is spot on. i think there is a lot of incompetence we're seeing in the last three emergencies or disasters we've seen in the united states with hawaii, western north carolina and the other states that the hurricane hit. now here in the pacific palisades. fema seems to be and other agencies seem to be getting in the way of the recovery efforts as opposed to getting this there and specifically helping where it's needed. >> dana: you used to be in charge of the pacific palisades area and you see back then you were able to keep a handle on

the fires. what do you think president trump will see and hear from the people there about how frustrated they are. i know it was an act of god but there was also the act of man that made it worse. >> correct, yeah. a couple things. the devastation, as you've seen from the photographs and from what i've heard non-stop that i've been on the phone with people from the palisades since the fire is just it's out of this world. it almost looks like hire -- japan that the bomb dropped. 25 people lost their lives is a tragedy. the fact that is all that we have at the moment is shocking to me. but i this i the -- i think the president will see devastation needing immediate federal assistance to help local

authorities to help rebuild and insure it doesn't happen again. i can touch -- >> dana: let's play sound from "fox & friends" this morning. these are victims in north carolina that are still reeling from the hurricane damage. >> i mean, the pace is a snail's pace. if you look at the footage from the day after the storm and you drive down my road right now it looks almost exactly the same. >> we need infrastructure help the most. our roads are crumbling. people are waiting on power. we need infrastructure help from the federal government that the state is just too overwhelmed to provide right now. there is just way, way too much work to be done by the state. >> dana: give you the last word about your new home state of north carolina. >> those folks my heart breaks for them and the palisades. they bring up a point that probably needs to be driven home and really paid attention to by the president. that is the people themselves offer the best view on what to

and how to change. i will give you a tragic irony of the pacific palisades which is those folks up there back in 2016 when i was first assigned there to address a lot of the problems that were ironically the fire driven, those folks put their money where their mouth was because they saw the homeless issue was out of control and they wanted to find out how they could a, help the homeless people get off the street and b to reduce the amount of fires that were plaguing that part of los angeles. they put together a task force, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and were very effective at solving a problem that seemed to be eluding the federal and state officials and city government . >> dana: president trump said this week sean hannity said you inherited these problems and president trump said they are all solvable. see how it goes today. thank you for joining us today, rusty. >> thank you, god bless the

victims. >> dana: thank you. >> president trump has been clear that all republicans need to the stand strong, tough and smart together to confirm these nominees and democrats should do that as well. >> bret: the senate in a stand-off as democrats try to slow down confirmation else for president trump's cabinet nominees. republicans vowing to ramp up the pressure if votes drag into the weekend. plus president trump unveiling his america first agenda on the world stage. how his message is already bringing in billions of dollars in foreign investments. >> president trump: our country will be stroerng, wealthier and more united than ever before. the entire planet will be more peaceful and prosperous as a result of this incredible momentum. there's a great barbeque outside. but don't touch that. meanwhile, at a vrbo... when other vacation rentals make you share your turf with a host, try one that's all yours.

>> dana: president trump telling

global businesses to make their products in america or face tariffs. >> president trump is bringing his america first message to the world stage. he says the rest of the west has been treating the united states unfairly so now it is time to invest in the u.s. or pay up. >> president trump: come make your product in america and we'll give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth. we're bringing them down very substantially even from the original trump tax cuts. but if you don't make your product in america, which is your prerogative, then very simply you will have to pay a tariff. >> the president outlined plans to work with republican majorities in the house and senate to pass his tax agenda to bring down the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% and he says for those who don't want to take advantage of that tax rate, tariffs will bring in billions, maybe even trillions of dollars to the u.s. treasury department. today europe is responding to

trump's message. not by promising billions of dollars of investment into the united states, but by calling for its own sweeping plans to cut red tape to compete with the u.s. and china. a european commission document reviewed by the "wall street journal" says in a global system where geopolitical tensions, and the scramble for control over resources are on the rise, europe's freedom, security and autonomy depend more than ever on its ability to innovate, compete and grow. trump is already bringing in more than half a trillion dollars of foreign investment into the united states. that pledge of $6 hundred billion is from saudi crown prince, president trump says he wants him to round it up to a trillion dollars. a minor rounding to the nearest trillion there. >> dana: yes, you do that math. i will just follow your lead. thanks, grady. >> president trump: democrats

are trying to delay government, as they always do. they can't help themselves. it shouldn't be taking a long time. they are maxing everything out to delay everything as much as possible. >> bret: senate republicans plowing ahead confirming trump's cabinet. democrats extending the debate on pete hegseth that could push a confirmation vote to tonight about 9:00 p.m. eastern time. let's bring in republican senator tommy tuberville of alabama. good morning. what do you make of this tactic by democrats and where things stand today? >> well, we knew they were coming this direction, bret. it is unfortunate but they are going to try to delay everything that we do for the next four years. organization is a key to winning and president trump came out of the election, started naming and appointing his cabinet nominees and they've had 2 1/2 months to look at them. we've had the same. we have a plan, john thune, our leader, has done a very good job

getting us put together in terms of getting everybody in the right slots. the democrats aren't playing along and trying to delay every nomination. 30 hours between each one will get pete hegseth tonight. will probably vote for kristi noem and 2:30 or three sunday morning we'll confirm her. it is unfortunate that we have to convince some republicans. yesterday was the first time i've seen lobbying from democrats come getting in our face to say you'll regret this vote to confirm this person. you don't need to do it. it is all orchestrated. i understand that. at the end of the day president trump was elected president, given a mandate, let's get going with this national security group and we'll have a tough time with some but hopefully we can fight through all of them, bret. >> bret: you have secretary of state marco rubio and c.i.a. director john ratcliffe confirmed. asked about pete hegseth as defense secretary nominee president said this on his way

to marine one this morning. >> president trump: whatever it is, it is. he is a good man. i don't know what happens. never know in those things. pete is a good man and i hope he makes it. i hope he makes it. i was really surprised at collins and murcowski to do that. of course, mitch is always a no vote, i guess. is mitch a no vote? >> bret: the question there, senator was is mitch a no vote. meaning mitch mcconnell former senate majority leader. do you know today? >> well, he voted on closure last night to vote for pete hegseth. we have another vote tonight 9:00 to 10:00. we'll probably lose collins and murcowski but i think if you look at the long game here, senator mcconnell understand we have to get somebody in there very quickly because of all the fires that we have all over the world. but again, we really don't need his vote. we still have 50 and jd vance can come over and break the tie.

i'm really not concerned about that one. i'm more concerned about those down the road. we have close the book on him and hopefully we do that tonight. >> on the hegseth vote. if mcconnell votes no on hegseth you couldn't lose anymore. jd vance would have to break the tie. is there anybody else you are worried about? >> not really. if you look at this, again as i said earlier, they were on the attack mode last night before the vote going around to each one of us. each had had an assignee saying you'll regret this. we didn't do all this when they had their nominees. thats the tactic they are going to use for the rest of the confirmation process. i think we'll be fine. it might just be 50. senator mcconnell we'll have to

wait and see and we might get one of the votes out of murcowski and collins. a different vote, different time. we need to get this one going and confirmed and onto the next nominee. >> bret: thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> dana: busy over at ice. arresting over 500 people so far as part of president trump's immigration crackdown. some of the arrests are sparking controversy. one blue city mayor is punching back. president trump expanding oil and gas drilling. >> president trump: i declared a national energy emergency and that's so important. national energy emergency to unlock the liquid gold under our feet. the united states is the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on earth and we're going to use it. serving customers with top tier mobile service is our business, but our mission is to honor

yesterday from president trump another executive order unleashing alaska's extraordinary resource potential. it is morning again in alaska. >> dana: president trump getting a shout out for an executive order. state leaders in alaska are applauding the move as the game changer. joining us is bill armstrong, president and ceo of armstrong oil and gas. i could talk to you for hours. when i first started on capitol hill i was the press secretary for the chairman of the energy and power subcommittee and remember at that time drilling in alaska was one of the biggest controversies. why is this time possibly different for alaska? >> well, thank you for having me on. it is great to see you. four years ago when biden got in

as president things in alaska changed dramatically. particularly on federal lands. before that things were rocking and rolling. they were doing fine. everybody in alaska wants to drill. most of the native americans who live up there want to drill. great for our country and state and all the people living in alaska and do it in the an environmental sensitive way. two parts of alaska. there is a big chunk of federal land to the east which is called anwar. that is the the one that gets all this kind of controversy all the time greenpeace and sierra club and an area to the west of the north slope called the npra that stands for national petroleum reserves of alaska.

when joe biden got in, he oz tenibly took that off limit. even though it's very perspective was suddenly not available to be drilled. and i'm the largest leaseholder in the npra at 1.1 million acres and what biden did to me and my company was nationalize my position. >> dana: let me show everyone this chart, bill. this call for number two. alaska crude oil production decline over time. it peaks in the late 70s and you can see it goes down, down, down. not only good for alaska, but good for america and there is a national security argument here as well. >> you are absolutely right. what that curve shows is

bringing on the oil field in 1978 and it peaked at 2 million barrels of day. on just a relentless typical oil field decline curve ever since. now the trans alaska pipeline is three quarters empty. we have all this availability for crude oil to go into it. a huge field that me and my partners found about ten years ago is going to start producing and 150,000 barrels a day. a new discovery made called willow which will be another 200,000 barrels a day. that curve will start to go back up again. but what we could do is we could almost fill up taps again if we were allowed to drill. that's what trump did by removing all the regulations and the moves by biden primarily in the npra, it takes us one step toward getting back to what we

do best and what we do very cleanly and it is great for the world. great for the united states and it is also really great for national security. >> dana: bill armstrong i will have you back. we have to talk about wyoming and colorado. we have connections. we have to work them out. have a good day. thank you so much. >> bye-bye. >> bret: bryan kohberger trying to block most of the evidence that could tie him to the murders of four college students in idaho. the latest on that case next. >> going through hell. we're over two years they made us go across the state of idaho. we've done everything by the rules. now that we finally got them where they know they have to deal with the consequences of their decisions.

minutes. late yesterday afternoon we learned for the first time some key details on bryan kohberger's argument why the judge should throw out critical dna evidence. the defense argued that police failed to get a search warrant when they took dna found at the crime scene on a knife sheath and ran it through four public ancestry databases to go to a family tree. >> there was no warrant for several phases of the search that led to the work and we think every single one of those stages a warrant was required. none was given. so this must be suppressed. >> we also learned that of the four genealogy databases police accessed two have terms of service agreements supposed to block law enforcement access. which goes against the department of justice's interim guidelines on how to handle igg. importantly, kohberger never
