to storm-ravaged north carolina and los angeles where wild first have destroyed thus of homes -- wildfires. jason: madeleine rivera joins us with the details. >> or hi, good morning. president trump says he thinks he won nevada in november because of his no tax on tips pledge. the idea would be another item to add to the republicans' already full plate as they work on border security and tax cuts. despite the potential cost, the president stands behind his tax plan. >> we've come here today to talk about the biggest promise i think that the restaurant workers have had in a long time, and that's no tax on tips. and in our case, we mean it. we're going to let you keep 100% of your tip income and not be harassed. >> reporter: the president's trip to las vegas comes after he toured the storm-ravaged western north carolina area. he also visited california where politics were set aside as the a tate's governor, gavin newsom, greeted the president at the

tarmac. earlier on friday, he and newsom made a promise to work together. rump was greeted by fire -- trump was greeted by firefighters chanting usa. he and bass had a testy exchange over letting people back into their home homes. >> you have emergency powers just like i do, and i'm exercising my emergency powers. you have to exercise them also -- >> i did exercise them -- >> i mean, look, you have a very powerful emergency power, and you can do everything within 24 hours. >> yes. and if individuals want to the clear out their property, they can. >> everyone's standing in front of their house. they want to go to work, and they're not allowed to do it -- >> [inaudible] >> a week is a long time. >> they're safe. you know what they're not safe? if they're not safe now. >> reporter: president trump is pledging to waive federal permits is california can quickly start rebuilding. rachel, jason and will -- i

mean, sorry, charlie. rachel: you'll get it right, madeleine. >> reporter: oh, my gosh. it's so early in the morning. i'm so sorry, guys. charlie: thank you, madeleine. rachel: karen bass saying safety, safety, and donald trump's saying, they're not safe. they're in danger. by the way, there's a lot of electrical, power outages still going on. people just want to go to work, and he's saying i can do it on the federal level, you can do it on the state level. jason: we saw something remarkable, the president of the united states, less than a week after he was sworn in and just open floor for an hour taking all questions and comments from the democrats in person. and i had a chance to just interview gloria romero, the former democratic -- get this -- democratic leader of the california state senate. listen the what she had to say. >> i think the lesson is, is that when you are a failed elected official, do do not i

try to argue with the president of the united states because you will lose. we're tired of the happy talk coming from the mayor, from the governor. they know that they are failed politicians, and they're trying to invoke, you know, sort of this image of now being the recovery experts. i think the president has recognized that the people of california have had it with ineffective, bad policies emanating from sacramento and los angeles, and the president was very, very conciliatory, very inspirational and very much demonstrative of being the people's president. rachel: yeah. he was the ceo in that moment. charlie: and it's amazing, he's been president four days. this has been going on for week, and we had a president just like in north carolina. for four months it's been going on. we had a president. and these people in watching this performance last night in

los angeles, you know, he was -- and, obviously, he's been very critical of a lot of the democrats in this room. but when they sit down to the table, they start talking about issues. and, like brad sherman, for example, started talking about how, you know, talking about stipulations on the funding. you know, the issue about the stipulations on the funding is that donald trump wants to make sure that not only this gets fixed, but that that it doesn't happen again. rachel: correct. charlie: those are the stipulations he's talking about, and it's that basic common sense that cuts across partisan lines and everything. rachel: he also said and fix your voter id, which i thought was really great. you talked about this earlier off a camera, and i think you should talk about it and expand on it, charlie, a little bit on camera which is the opportunity -- let's put aside the emergency identification going on, the political side of this is fascinating. you think we could see a seismic shift based on just how donald trump handles these two emergencies that, as you rightly

point out, were neglected by democrat leadership at the federal level with biden and also with karen because and gavin newsom. -- karen bass. charlie: i think his re-election is watershed moment. it was closer than you would think given the two candidates, but, you know, look at a place like california. this is as democratic a state as you can get, and they -- this is a demonstration of what democrat policies get you. and it's a catastrophe. and donald trump comes in with these completely common sense, wants to set aside all the partisanship and just talk about what works. and i think that that is the kind of way you complete -- you know, i don't know how a democrat party embracing all of these policies that led the these problems, i don't know that, you know, how do they defend all of this going forward? and what we could be looking at is a huge realignment of politics in this country. jason: yeah. rachel: i think you're right on. and i think if you're in l.a.

and you're dealing with the aftermath of this and you look at these two people which, by the way, this was -- it was riveting tv, by the way, you know? melania in the middle, you know, just above it all. it was all incredibly staged. that a the said -- that said, what was happening, that interchange, who would you want in charge of your rebuild effort? very obvious, you want the businessman if who knows how to build and who's saying get rid of your rules and regulations. let's get on and build these people's lives back up. is so i think this was an incredible moment. jason: it was a great moment one of the other things that's happening though across the country is the enforcement of our immigration laws. and i want you to listen to this alleged haitian gang member who's screaming during his arrest. >> i'm not going back to haiti. [bleep] trump, you feel me? yo, biden forever, bro. jason: yeah. pro-biden, hates trump.

kind of says it all, doesn't it? charlie: and, of course, what's important about this is this is another example of a common sense if approach to a problem that people across the country feel in very real ways, and trump is talking about bringing common sense to it finally after years of insanity. and you win over people one by one who recognize what we've been through the last four years is absolutely insane, and tease people need to be deportedded -- these people need to be deported. rachel: again, he's come here illegally, breaking the law, but more than that, he he has 17 criminal convictions in massachusetts. who, regardless of what side of the aisle you're on, could defend keeping that man here in the united states? here's a quote from i.c.e. they said i.c.e. encountered charles april a 15th in 2023 following one of these arrests, arrow boston issued an immigration detainer against charles with the norfolk house of corrections in massachusetts. however, the correctional

facility released him october 20th of 2023 without honoring the immigration detainer. hose are the kinds of insane policies in democrat cities that people are, like, enough is enough. charlie: right. rachel: by the way, i spoke earlier on the show about these crackdowns and especially the terrorist designation that a donald trump has now given to the cartels. listen. >> one signature, president trump just brought with counter-transnational crime to the highest levels of national security. and he's using very sound concepts like threat convergence, like conflicts of -- things that were once only discussed in the halls of the ivy tower and the intelligence community are now, with executive power, and what he's going to do is use that executive power to dismantle these terrorist organizations. this is a top priority of the trump administration for the time being. i think that we're going to go after these gangs with all the

force of the u.s. government, and they're on notice that they're going to be challenged at every corner of the united states, and their time period of mayhem is going to come to an end. rachel: yeah. and the hope is many of them will actually self-deport because they see this is serious. jace jays you know what i love? we're enforcing our laws. democrats argue, oh, it'll be awful, you're going to separate families and everything. the world is a safer place because i.c.e. went in there, put their lives on the line to get this guy and get him out of the country, and they're doing that all across the country. we don't have cameras rolling every single time, but this is the worst of the worst. these are people who are committing crimes in the united states of america. they knew where this guy was. it's just the problem is you've got these sanctuary cities and states that won't cooperate with i.c.e., so then they get the the enforcement removal office to get them going. guys like tom homan, expect world's safer.

and that's why donald trump, it hasn't even been a week -- charlie: there's a new sheriff in town. rachel: no question about it. jason: all right. we've got to move to a fox news alert. four female israeli soldiers released by hamas if overnight are back in israel after spending 477 days as hostages. charlie: all four, who were taken by the terror group hamas during the october 7th attacks, are now if reunited with their families. rachel: our own trey yingst joins us live from tel aviv with the latest. good morning, trey. >> reporter: hey, guy, good morning. katrina, daniela, nama and leery are now reunited with their loved ones. they're here in tel aviv after being flown from the gaza border where they were released earlier today. they're currently getting treatment at a hospital in central israel, a team of doctorses and psychologists making sure that they're okay. we saw initial video of these young female soldiers reuniting with hair parents, just

scenes -- their parents, just scenes of joy after 477 days in hamas captivity. earlier hamas paraded them across a stage in palestine square in gaza a city before releasing them to the red cross. they were driven to the gaza border and, again, they are back here in israel. those helicopters landing at a hospital very close to where we're reporting from right now. we're also getting some new images today out of the west bank where palestinian prisoners, some of them, are being released. celebrations there as hamas and islamic jihad flags were flying, people cheering and chanting allahu akbar. as we look forward here, there is hope in israel as this progress, more israeli hostages will come out of gaza alive. of course, not all of the images are going to be pretty, and it had been very difficult can for this society as they brace for what is to come in phase one of the agreement. but again, the latest information that we have, four out of five of these israeli

observers, female observers, that were taken on the morning of october 7th along the border, have been released back into israel and reunited with their loved ones. guys? rachel: thank you, trey. we're going to turn to some headlines. charlie: brian with kohberger's legal team is fighting for all evidence to be tossed. he is accused of killing four university of idaho students in 2022. the father of caylee goncalves joined "fox & friends" yesterday. he wants to see kohberger put on trial. >> definitely not for a plea. they put us through hell. we've done everything by the rules. i don't want a plea now that we've finally got 'em where they know they're going to have to deal with their consequences. her only mistake was to to go to bed that night, and somebody broke into her home and killed

her. charlie: kohberger could face the death penalty if found guilty. the case against transgender medicine whistleblower dr. ethan haim is now dismissed following a months-long heel battle. texas' children's hospital was performing the surgeries on minor toes through may of 2023, nearly one year after it claimed it stopped providing the procedures because the state ruled it to be child abuse. the biden administration went after h haim for leaking the information to the media. his attorney saying, quote, the case has been dismissed with prejudice so the federal government can never again come after him for blowing the whistle. rachel: i hope he gets -- does he get money for this? he was actually really persecuted by the government and by that that hospital. charlie: he should. and it's good it's being exposed. rachel: yeah. charlie: all 43 monkeys that escaped a south carolina research lab two months ago a have been recaptured. the last four were found after

spending most of the winter living in the woods. the primates got out after an employee if failed to fully lock their enclosure. crews lured them back with peanut if butter and jelly sandwiches. rachel: works every time. charlie: i would have fallen for that. [laughter] and those are your headlines. rachel: love that story. the fox weather ski house back. let's head out to the slopes at steam boat ski resort in colorado for a look at all of the winter weather fun. jason: fox weather meteorologist bob van dillon joins us live. bob. >> reporter: yeah. hey, listen, it's great to see you guys this morning early, and right now in steamboat spring, colorado, it's feeling pretty good. it's 19 degrees with cold, but that is 59 degrees warmer than where service the on monday morning when it was -40. fox weather ski house went on yesterday, and we were showing all the great things you can coincluding right now. these guys are gearing up to go do a competition on top of the

[laughter] charlie: i think we need to go out there and do some investigative reporting -- rachel: from the ski lodge. jason: you know i live out that direction, right? what most people don't understand is the show is is so dry in the rockies, you can't even make snowballs out of it. >> reporter: done, yeah. too dry. jason: that's why everybody wants to ski there. rachel: makes sense to me. thanks, bob. in know that tidbit. well, pete pete hegseth set to be sworn in as secretary of defense today. the his mans to slash

charlie: developing now in southern california, new evacuation orders issued in san diego county as a brush fire burning near the u.s.-mexico border since thursday grows to

6500 acres. right now it's just 10% contained. and in l.a. county, firefighters getting the upper hand on the hughes fire which is now 79 contained. there is rain in the forecast for the first time in months which is good news for firefighterses, but that could trigger flooding and mudslides. let's turn the chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. rick: let's not worry about the mudslides and the flooding. we could see that, but we really need this moisture. for the last two winters, not this one, but the two price, california saw incredible amounts of rain, and that caused a lot of brush to grow. rainy season, which starts in october -- there is a rainy season in california -- southern california, l.a., san diego, you're in your driest or second dry keys season ever on -- driest season on ever. northern california, not the case. southern california, the drought has exploded here again, and we need some help. we are going to get the first

batch of in this. the system is moving many in towards southern california late this evening, it's going to start to bring some rain, and that rain is going to turn into with maybe 2-3 inches in a few isolated spots, snow in the higher elevations which is beneficial. the entire area from l.a., malibu up towards ventura, down towards san diego, everybody getting maybe a half inch to an inch of rain. will bring that threat of flooding, but again, we'll have to live with that because we desperately need moisture here. we had, like, incredibly ground-breaking snow across parts of the south this week with, almost 9 inches in new orleans, pensacola, same story. blew away records. temperatures have remained very cold. it is about to warm up, and a lot of that snow today is finally going to melt. charlie, over to to you. charlie: thank you, rick. rick: you bet. charlie: trump making his first trip as president to meet with victims of helene in north carolina and speaking with franklin graham of samaritan's purse who has accept is thed up to help families -- stepped up

to help families. >> we've come to north carolina with a simple message to all the people of this region who were hit so hard by hurricane helene. that message is very simple, you are not forgotten any longer. >> we just thank god, and that's one thing i want to say, thank god that he's given us the the resources to be able to help. charlie: joining us now with more is reverend franklin graham. so great to see you, reverend graham. i fly in and out of greensboro every week, and one of my favorite things to do is look over and see your organization's planes, and they're either loading up or taking off to go to places where people need help, and we're very grateful to you for that. what was the message in president trump making his first trip there to north carolina? >> well, charlie, he wanted to come see the people.

he told them last fall when he was there, when i'm president, i'm coming back. and this was actually his first visit since -- first trip that he's taken as president. he came back to north carolina. so he keeps his promises. i know that many people like to say he's a liar. he isn't. he hells -- he tells the truth, and i appreciate him keeping his promises. and, of course, he wants to see the efficiency of the federal government. he's not happy with fema. and there's some good reasons for that, and i think he's looking at how to fix fema if or make it a different organization or maybe just closing ital a together. but he believes -- altogether. he believes there needs to be changes if we're going to be more efficient in responding. of course, samaritan's purse, we've been working there now since the flood, and it's something that we're going to continue. we'll be there for the next three years at least helping people to rebuild. charlie: so, you know, one of the hard things for people who aren't there to wrap their head

around is just how devastating the damage is and remains even four months later. what are the problem -- that are the most pressing problems people still are dealing with there right now? >> i think probably the biggest problems are just the permitting process. it is so slow. and, of course, you condition rebuild on your own property until surveys have been done. you have to have the flood maps have to be redrawn. st the really -- it's really a handicap. people need to get wells dug so they can connect them to the new house. well, you have to wait until they approve the well. just those kind of permits, septic tank permits. they need to be able to fast track this, and this is local. this is county and others. and maybe the president can just put a pore tore yum on permitting -- moratorium on permitting, just let people go for it.

charlie: so a lot of this red tape is at the county level. do the people at the county level not understand the importance of cutting all that red tape? >> well, some do, some don't. the problem if -- [laughter] it's the system. the way it's done, it's the way it's always been done, and you have to wait until they have a meeting, and maybe the meeting is next month, not this month. and you've got a team of people ready to put the house in, but you can't do anything until they have their meeting. it's just bureaucracy, and it needs to find a way to cut through -- everybody agrees, i believe, that the permitting process is the big hold-up. charlie: of course, visit samaritan's purse.org to donate more. what is the best thing people can donate to your organization right now? >> well, we always need funds, no question, because we're building houses right now. but, you know, if the person wants to help, pray. pray for the people that have

suffered, that are still suffering. the last couple of weeks it's been very cold. and we just need to flay god will -- pray that god will get them through this and they'll be able to go on with their lives. but i would pray for the people. charlie: thank you, reverend graham. you're always where people are if in need. >> thank you. charlie: pete hegseth set to be sworn in as secretary of defense. one of the senators who voted for his confirmation is with us next. there are

♪ charlie: fox news alert, four female hostages back in israel this morning reuniting with their loved ones after being freed from hamas earlier this morning. rachel: this was the second round of releases under the gaza ceasefire deal which requires israel to give up hundreds of prisoners, and the white house keeping their eye on the middle east getting ready to send a

trump envoy back to israel next week. jason: here to discuss is senator markwayne mullin. senator, thank you so much for joining us. it's exciting for families to have the hostages come home, but what do you make of this deal and how it's being executed? >> well, jason, if it wasn't for president trump, these hostages wouldn't be released. it's kind of reminiscent of carter versus reagan when he came into office. someone that needs all the credit is steve witkoff. steve flew back and forth from the middle east basically since the election on his own dime, refusing to take any money from the government, working out these hostage deals. it was interesting to me at one time when you saw the former secretary of state, blinken, who's a complete liar, trying to take credit for this. if it wasn't for the trump administration, these hostages would still be in the hands of hamas. so thank god we got a new sheriff in the white house. rachel: yeah, no question about it, steve witkoff needs, deserves a lot of credit.

but it's not just that the democrats are trying to take credit for it, there has been a campaign even on the republican side among many of the neo-cons criticizing him for this deal. >> i don't understand how they can criticize someone that went there and and did exactly what the president of the united states wanted. he made it very clear, he says there will be hell to pay if these hostages are are noting with released by the time i get into office. steve went there and started working a deal with a terrorist organization having to work with the idf, and we had to go through the qatar thelies too. -- qataris too. he got the best deal he could get, and guess what? he did something9 that the former administration, the biden administration, could not get done. he got the hostages released. that's' the most important thing, bring the hostages home. rachel: it's what israeli citizens wanted too. >> that's right. charlie: later today we're expecting pete hegseth to be sworn in as a secretary of

defense. i think one of the interesting parts of all this is the reason pete hegseth is getting confirmed is because donald trump had his back and and wasn't going to budge. >> well, president trump knew exactly what he was doing when he was picking people like pete and sean duffy, by the way, who, rachel, we'll get him confirmed this coming week with. he knew he wanted a fighter in there, and pete never blinked under fire. and his wife, jenny, my goodness, they are such a power couple moving forward through the halls, taking the fight straight to each office, not allowing the press to debate this. but he was answering all the questions. i was on the phone with pete mutt billion times even yesterday he was answering questions all the way to the very end. it was phenomenal to see the type of person that president trump elected to straight then out the pentagon. and if he got the right person with our new secretary of defense, pete hegseth. i'm excited about it. i mean, you saw the fighter. let's just go back to the hearing too. you saw underneath the hearing

that he walked into that, and he had a lot of room that he had to gain when he went in there. now, what he did is he walked in there, and he came out stronger than he was. and you saw how awful the democrats were, just attacking tacking him, going after him nonstop. and he was so calm and collected under fire. that's the type of leader you need leading us in this very tense moment we have around the world. rachel: no question about it. he came out stronger, he never budged. he outworked everybody, what everybody thought he would do and, again, he had a donald trump standing strong with him; and he knew that. i think that gave him a lot of strength -- >> you're right, rachel. rachel: yeah. it's so great seeing you, senator. and you also stood by him and gave him a lot of support and his family, and that is so important i through this very difficult process. thanks for all you've done to to get these nominees through. >> thank you. appreciate it, guys. thanks for having me on. rachel: god bless.

and mandates. it's not happening. donald trump is just saying the emperor has no clothes when it comes to wind and solar. rachel: he's going to ban these wind farms or not fund them anymore. what happens to -- you can't recycle these ugly things. and by the way, they're such an eyesore. >> yeah. rachel: how can do you recycle them? how do you get rid of them in. >> "forbes" magazine had an article about how they're rusted relics when they're decommissioned and9 rotting away in a field. this isn't green energy. 2500 tons of steel. 2500 tons of concrete, 500 tons of steel, 25,000 -- thousands and tons of plastics, nonrenewable plastics go many to make these. evs take half a million pounds of materials to do kill them up. they're a recyclable mess, and tease are not green. they dig the earth in a deep, deep way, not in a 1970s, groovy, brady bunch way, they dig it in a literal i way.

donald trump is ending this nonsense that we have green energy. there's nothing green about energy that digs the earth and makes us rely on china for awe all of our -- all of our power needs. this is an american renaissance. i can't el you, in this man has powers and abilities far beyond imimmortal men, donald trump. that's how powerful his message is. that's what he told davos the other day. this is unprecedented more consequential, i believe, than ronald reagan's presidency. we shall see. rachel: yeah. i definitely think it's on track for that. you've been calling this out for a long time. you finally have a champion in the white house to do it. donald trump, the greatest environmental hero, it turns ou- >> yes.
