association supports it saying it would help recruit and retain restaurant employees. >> sandra: something a lot of people are watching. thank you. >> dana: we had quite a show. before we go new york city congratulating the philadelphia eagles punching their ticket to the super bowl. the official account writing, shining an eagles colors in honor of their championship. the eagles are rivals with the new york giants. they haven't been in the super bowl since 2012. they are in a drought. >> sandra: i will say nothing. i go for the chiefs. it is fun. i don't know. is this the wrong building to say this in? >> dana: i sit next to jess watters. thanks for being with me today. see you at 1:00. tom homan your big interview. see you there. "the faulkner focus" is next. >> harris: we begin with the

breaking news. president trump has notched a major foreign policy victory and put the world on notice. he is serious about illegal immigration and getting rid of the most dangerous people who broke into our country and broke laws beyond that. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." columbia's president says he will use his own nation's planes to transport criminal columbians back home. well, that's a switch because at first he refused to accept those violent illegals. then president trump said fine, the u.s. will slap you with 25% tariffs to start for columbia officials and other measures. you see the list there. it is long. then trump posted this a.i. generated photo of himself with a sign reading fafo. it may not be safe for work but if you know, you know. columbia's president immediately

caved and agreed to all of trump's terms from visa sanctions and enhanced inspections will continue until the first plane of deportese is back in columbia. >> new leadership in town. these countries will realize and break into two categories. one is going to be countries that cooperate and the other one will be countries that wish they did because he will make it so painful for them that it is not going to be worth it for them. it shows a stark contrast between the new leadership and previous leadership which seemed to view weakness as somehow vert because for america and always putting america last. >> harris: this cover is everywhere now. a new tariff in town. play on words. jackui heinrich is here now. >> this could have been a very big trade war. president trump told fox last night that columbia's president

did a total about-face after that tariff threat was clear. it would be crushing. what he was putting in motion. emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the united states. in one week the tariffs would raise to 50%. travel ban and immediate visa revocation on columbian officials and supporters. sanctions on supporters of the government and inspections of all columbian national and cargo and treasury banking and financial sanctions to be fully imposed. it was a matter of hours before the columbian president posted he was providing his presidential plane to bring back the deportese. the sanctions by the state department will remain in effect until the first plane is successfully returned. trump white house officials say

it is a clear message to other countries that they've got to comply with their legal obligations to take back their people. >> if you have a person who is convicted of a violent crime, whether they are an illegal immigrant or non-illegal im grant you have to get that person to protect the public safety. not unique to immigration. >> dhs official is telling fox that new york city is the next target for law enforcement operations to bring -- round up the criminal migrants and deport them back to countries of origin. >> harris: we have 58,000 of them here and 13,000 of them are known to have committed the crime of murder before this country and they got in anyway. come to new york, we're ready. thank you. senator marsha blackburn posted this. if you don't cooperate there will be severe consequences. this is what leadership looks like. house speaker mike johnson says

columbia and other nations should be put on notice president trump is putting america first like he said he would and congressman carlos hemness gets to the point america first and the flag. steve hilton. a quick snap back. i think there is more belief among those people around the country who would try to defy trump because he is real. >> i think, harris, it is barely believable that it is just less than a week since we were talking on the eve of president trump being sworn in. it is a different world in just these few days. it is so clear now to everyone. you remember they used to say don't -- take trump seriously but not literally. you have to take him seriously and literally. he is saying things he will do. he follows that.

this response to columbia was perfect in every way and the perfect outcome and sets the tone for his interactions with other countries. in a way it is almost as if the columbians were part of the plan. because now when president trump says anything on an economic issue, a military issue, any issue around the world, leaders will know he is serious. great news. we use the phrase america is back. boy, is america back. it is so thrilling for all of us to see. >> harris: columbia's president telling the rest of the world but here is what's affecting america today. president trump ramped up deportations of illegal immigrants. yesterday agents picked up 1,000 illegals and launch more than 550 detainers.

denver the feds rounded up 50 members of the violent tren de aragua gang at a nightclub of some sort. they seized cash, guns, drugs, trump praised the agents fulfilling his agenda >> president trump: the heroes of ice are hunting down and arresting people and members of the tren de aragua. you know that gang? this is not a nice group of people. they formed in prison and then they dumped their prisons into our country so we had them all over the place. ask colorado, the governor of colorado. he doesn't know what to do about it. they are all over the place. we'll get them out. >> harris: if you want to know if there is transparency here, there is. keep watching. homan atended a sweeping multi-agency raid in chicago that he said resulted in the arrests of several national security threats. among those arrested were

aggravated sex offenders, convicted murderers and alleged tda. the gang the president was just talking about. an alleged member of that guy. governor pritzker is promising a healthy dose of resistance against trump. >> we will stand in the way of an unconstitutional order. we'll also stand in the way of them breaking the law in illinois if they are not following federal law. now, we know that if they show up with warrants to take people away we'll hand them over. we have a law on the books in illinois that says our local law enforcement will stand up for those law-abiding undocumented people in our state. >> harris: are you going to go after the criminals killing people or will he defend them, too? homan promises nothing will be slowing down. >> so is this what we will see every single day ending in what the president has promised is

millions and millionesque deported? >> yes. we'll do it on a priority basis. president trump's promise. as the aperture opens more arrests nationwide. every time you enter the country illegally you committed a crime. it's a crime. so if you are in the country illegally, you have a problem. >> harris: more than one dozen departments and agencies are pashto of the trump add -- this is all hands on deck. the number one promise alongside of getting inflation down and making things more affordable. how do you think it is going so far? >> i would say perfect. this is perfect. they are executing, the great tom homan is executing this strategy to perfection. the worst go first. a simple idea. let's focus on the violent criminals who shouldn't be here in the first place and a threat to our people, families and

communities and being so up front. they are communicating about it. giving numbers, showing the profiles. showing the flights, they are being transparent about it and pushing back on lies and misinformation. that governor there, the ridiculous governor of illinois who seemed more fussed about how our own citizens who are law enforcement officials are playing by the rules and breaking the law. doesn't seem to care about the fact you have murderers who are breaking the law. they're fine if they are undocumented illegal immigrants and he is then putting out misinformation, pritzker about raids on schools instead of getting behind the new administration trying to protect our country. >> harris: that last one is troublesome for me today. pritzker said that they were raiding a school. he should have known the very reason or been curious enough to know why people would show up at this school. federal agents and the like.

the reason that they were there, those protectors, was because they were vetting a threat against the life of president trump. that's what is being reported. now we won't know all the details on that but he has had two attempts on his life and shot once while running as a candidate. i don't know what pritzker knows and doesn't know. before you spew out something not true, there was at least some gettable information of why they would have shown up at a school. >> it is all so ideological with these people and seems like they haven't learned anything from their election defeat. pritzker jumping on any opportunity to smear the new administration instead of supporting it while trying to protect his own communities. in california, guess what they are doing in the state legislature today after that hilarious session on friday where president trump schooled them in fire response and water and all the issues to do with wildfires in d.a.? today in sacramento they are back to trump-proofing

california and voting more taxpayer money to resist what we're seeing happen in terms of getting criminals out of our country. >> harris: that will potentially change the politics in places like chicago and farther out in illinois and in california. not just that one city in illinois but what people are seeing now is that which side wasn't honest with us and which side is making life better for us? they voted the person that they believed in as president. he is in office now. steve hilton, thank you very much for being with me. taking apart d.e.i. continues as the new administration is waging a war on woke. president trump's executive orders making an immediate impact and there are more to come. we'll get into it. plus never mind the first 100 days. it has only been a week since trump took office. republicans are not the only ones recognizing how much he has already managed to accomplish. >> this is what competency looks

like. we're not used to it in the united states. i know people are shocked how much he is getting done. jordan's sore nose let out a fiery sneeze, so dad grabbed puffs plus lotion to soothe her with ease. puffs plus lotion is gentle on sensitive skin and locks in moisture to provide soothing relief. a nose in need deserves puffs indeed. america's #1 lotion tissue.

>> harris: president trump didn't just jump start his first 100 days in office, he hit the accelerator. >> the president has been president for all of five days. i think that in those five days he has accomplished more than joe biden did in four years. breakneck pace of activity. >> harris: here is the list now. it's long. this is what we have now anyway. immigration enforcement blitz. i want to read off a couple. designated border and envision, begin reviewings the

u.s./mexico/canada agreement. trade and climate. crackdown on d.e.i. two trips to disaster zones in los angeles and north carolina. that's in addition to all that you are seeing. some headlines now after a busy first week in office. a perfect week for trump with an ast asterisks to stop security on some people. trump is already hitting the ground running as his first 100 days in office are off to an historic start. the first six days anyway, right? we have a long way to go and doing it by omnibus. there will be some of these executive orders and actions that are in groupings. until we have a chance to break it all apart we may be missing

some. an excerpt. the scope of his actions alone demonstrate trump's determination to change the nation's direction right out of the gate. the country, more than 70% didn't like the way the country was headed before the election. he heard them. the power panel is here now. meghan, i will start with you. so he promised to do all of these things. what do you think now your party needs to do in terms of getting on board? where do you find your identity now? he is shaping government. >> that's a great question. i think that democrats are having an identity crisis trying to figure out how to challenge some of these things. a bunch of legal groups posting lawsuits. d.e.i. initiative. firing of the inspector generals on friday. people will start doing that. i think democrats need to come together and come up with a message that means something to the moderate and middle of america orb continue to lose

elections. donald trump has done a significant amount in the first six days. we won't see what these things are doing for the american people until the mid-terms when people get to vote again. >> harris: i think we'll see some before that. on that long list was forbidding so-called catch and release, priority to continue construction of a border wall. climate and energy, he withdrew from the paris climate agreement. declared national energy emergency. i think it is on. now the question is for our republican guest what happens? >> i think, harris, it goes to show it was a deliberate choice by the biden administration for the past four years to do absolutely nothing. you think about all of trump's work on illegal immigration in particular. on day one, on day two ice was beginning to make arrests of criminal illegal aliens in some of these sanctuary cities. now what does that tell us? it tells us that ice knew where these guys were. ice was aware of where these guys were the entire time and

that they were prevented from doing anything about it. this is exactly why americans elected donald trump. it turns out that when you are a part of the greatest country in the world, we don't like being told that we can't do anything to fix our own problems. we don't like being told that actually we can't make our country great again. we want a president who is going to take immediate action on behalf of the american people. >> harris: you know, to win some people in the middle and back in your own party, meghan, this is just a suggestion. you might want to declassify some of what was known about where the missing children were and still are. those sorts of details under the last administration because it is apparent now those questions are good questions. i will get to this. it looks like some in the liberal media are having a hard time swallowing the president's productive week. >> it is higher than his entire

first term. has that happened? donald trump is the -- this is 100% true. >> a way of being that's about a transaction rather than a relationship. america is so powerful that it is quite possible that trump will succeed in getting these discounts as he threatens other countries. most of them friends, allies and partners. but in doing so, he will lose the goodwill generated over decades of american foreign policy. >> harris: then there was this interesting question. >> on a fascism scale of 1-ten with ten being peak how would you rate trump's first week? >> oh, multiple choice questions. always difficult. not at all. meghan, i have so much appreciation for where you started here. that democrats have to find their way. i don't know if a hungry media

on the left starving for ratings. we aren't in that spot. they are in that spot now and their own messaging. it might do you a good purpose not to latch onto that sinking ship. >> ihit democrats need to not be in the media and members of congress. i think acting on reacting in such a way is not a good strategy. i think the democrats need to focus what they are good at. building out the middle class from the bottom up and focus back on working class people and get back to what the basics are. we need to not fight the culture wars. we are not going to respond to every executive order. i think congress really when we look at congress need to watch them and have them compromise where it makes sense and not compromise where it doesn't. democrats need to stick together and come up with a cohesive message. >> harris: i want to do a follow up around messaging. was it hard in the end to skew

the truth? it just really was confounding for people that the messaging out of the administration that you helped with messaging couldn't get it right even about bidenomics not working for people. >> i actually left the biden administration in the fall of 2022. i was not there in the end. when i was there we passed the chips and science act and other things. when i was there the messaging was extremely different. i take your point. i don't have -- i wasn't there. >> harris: appreciate that. sounds you left at the right time. >> one of the lessons that democrats need to learn moving forward they will have to actually engage in debate over their policy decisions and learn how to respond to legitimate criticisms of those policies. the knee jerk reaction by the left for the past four years has been to name call, has been to call trump a fascist as we saw in that throb and call him anti-immigrant, racist. turns out voters are pretty sick and tired of the histrionics.

they aren't listening to those complaints anymore. you have to engage in debate and over the decisions that you and your administration have made. until democrats learn how to do that they'll keep losing elections. >> harris: or they will call meghan hayes and have them work on the better half of the messaging. good to see you both. robert kennedy, jr. faces two confirmation hearings this week. we could see some serious fireworks this week and more clarity on the origins of covid. we kind of knew. >> it is increasingly clear to many other people and certainly the c.i.a., the f.b.i., the department of energy and most people just around the world that the by far most likely origin of covid-19 is a lab accident in wuhan. >> harris: i don't know about you but on social media i was getting stickered. liberals were vilifying anyone

who talked about the lab leak theory calling it conspiracy. when did those people get their reputations back? dr. marc siegel talking the truth in "focus" next.

so...? so... (♪) hot to trot! nobody says that, what? get good at money. so you can be a little bad. empower. >> harris: president trump is expected to sign an executive order today waiting on the timing for this. we do know that it will reinstate service members who were discharged for declining to get the covid-19 vaccine. this would restore their rank and grant full back pay and benefits. now new c.i.a. director john ratcliffe has declassified a biden administration report on the origins of the covid pandemic. >> the c.i.a. has assessed that the most likely cause of this pandemic that has wrought so much devastation around the world was because of a lab-related incident in wuhan. it was important for the

american people to see an association like the c.i.a. get off the sidelines and be truthful about what our intelligence shows. at the same time of protecting us from adversaries like china. >> harris: it's just many years later, right? the "wall street journal" editorial boards writes one benefit of the recent change in u.s. government control officials may be able to restore public trust by being more transparent about facts that the biden administration wanted to stay secret. senate intelligence committee chair tom cotton was among the first to endorse this. >> i'm glad that in the final days of the biden administration the c.i.a. reached the same conclusion and i commend john ratcliffe for making that conclusion public. the important thing is to make china pay for unleashing this plague on the world. >> harris: dr. marc siegel, fox news senior medical analyst. when this first started to come about in early 2020 and you said

we need to know where this is coming from to help us fight it. all these years later, what more can we learn? >> well, first of all it is really great to see tom cotton coming forward and being praised and now he is the head of the senate intelligence committee. harris, we were reporting with him back in early 2020 and he was mocked and ridiculed. he was called a conspiracy theorist. the first thing we can learn is what you already said. we have to shine a spotlight on the situation. remember when we couldn't have boots on the ground in the beginning of 2020, robert redfield was trying to get boots on the ground. if there is an outbreak somewhere we need boots on the ground so that we can study the virus and figure out its potential so we know where it is coming from. >> harris: you mean in china. >> inside china, which would put a smoke screen around it that had a chinese military stationed outside the wuhan institute of virology that didn't let anybody in which was already having

safety problems in that lab. i looked at surveillance, secret surveillance i got ahold of that showed lab workers going to the hospital regularly in the summer of 2019. this was happening way before and the smoke screen is what is concerning john ratcliffe right now. when he talks about transparency he is also talking about the w.h.o. and china. >> harris: let's get to that. days after president trump signed an order to withdraw the u.s. from the world health organization over china's outsized role, a top leader of that organization last begun fundraising on social media. $50,000 has been raised toward the $1 billion that they will need. new opinion piece argues trump's pink slip for the w.h.o. was a good step toward keeping america

healthy. >> we withdrew from the world health organization. [cheers and applause] where we paid $5 hundred million a year and china paid $39 million a year despite a much larger population. they said we'll let you back in at 39. we'll reduce it from 500 to 39. i turned them down because it became so popular i didn't know if it would be well received even at 39. but maybe we would consider doing it again. i don't know. maybe we would. they have to clean it up a little bit. >> harris: first of all, can you believe how out of balance things were. china was able to hide, cover up the origins of a disease that killed people all around the world, dr. siegel. and they paid so much far less than we did to the w.h.o. >> do you remember, harris, when the w.h.o. leadership said china it was a regional problem.

w.h.o. aided in the smoke screen. the president is saying what are you doing for us? what is our money getting us here? well, you know, it takes a year after he withdraws before it actually happens. so he is a master of the carrot and stick. you want us back? you want our money? stop giving only your services to china and not to us. that's the message here. >> harris: we were paying $530 million the president said. now we'll pay what china pays, $39 million. i think that reset says it all. all right. let's move to this. president trump's cabinet nominees go before the senate beginning wednesday. and among them robert f. kennedy, jr. for health an services secretary and roger marshall, a doctor said this about him. >> i think that the american public is going carry bobby flew the nomination process. he is brilliant and will do a great juvenility all those

things. when people listen to his heart. he loves his country, he wants to america healthy again. he knows how to do it. i expect that ground swell of support to get him over the finish line. >> harris: hold on. there is pushback. anna paulina luna says his controversial views are likely to draw some powerful opposition. she says i do believe that there are nefarious actors within the agriculture and food industries that are going to start putting financial top-down pressure on some senators in an effort to block his confirmation because they are making a lot of money on making people sick. she is calling out this congresswoman what push there could be on the hill for both rfk junior and senators who want to vote for him in a confirmation hearing. >> that's deeply disturbing. i believe vaccines are a community health tool but he has

a lot to offer in terms of the food which is making us sick and putting us at an obesity epidemic of 45% of american adults and 20% of children. if you are overweight and obese you are more likely to have back problems and back surgery. what about the pills where you are put on an antidepressant or anti-anxiety drug instead of exercising or yoga or acu puncture or cairo chiropractic. of course they are getting foot back. if you are skinny and healthy with low blood pressure you may not need drugs. i'm all in on that. make america healthy again with the food, chemicals, getting rid of the dyes. that should have bipartisan support. we shouldn't let the food and pharma industries attack that. >> harris: if it were you vote

how do you go on rfk, junior as a longstanding doctor? >> i think he is getting in. i think he will get in. i think some democrats will vote for him it looks like maybe fetterman, booker, maybe even bernie sanders. i think of he is going to get in. i think when he gets in we have to use his reform skills for the benefit of this country because remember, you go to europe you can have pasta. here you have pasta and you gain weight. our food is really disgusting now. it is loaded with chemicals, it is bright, something from mars. we have to fix that and he is the kind of reformer to do that. >> harris: i have called for a farming czar. i want to support farmers across the country and i lived in the midwest, i see the need to lift them up. they can help us with this and i hope he taps into that. dr. marc siegel, good to see you. president trump continues taking a wrecking ball to d.e.i. he is scrapping woke policies in agencies in the government

first. but it doesn't stop there. plus trump is also cleaning house when it comes to cabinet-level inspectors general. >> is it okay for him to put people in place that he thinks can carry out his agenda? yeah. he won the election. what do you expect him to do. leave everybody in place in washington before he have got elected? it makes perfect sense to me.

>> harris: you know the famous phrase from president trump back in his apprentice days, you are fired? that's what he told 17 inspectors general across most cabinet level agencies. democrats are furious and some republicans think the firings should have come only after a 30-day notice to congress. here is trump. >> president trump: it is a common thing to do. not all of them. mike horowitz. [inaudible] >> harris: mark meredith reporting in washington, d.c. >> good morning. democrats call the firings

illegal. republicans say it is simply trump's latest effort to shake things up. the dismissal of multiple government watchdogs has controversy. they root out waste, fraud and abuse within government agencies. president trump claims stand toured -- typically those people stay in power through different administration e instantly democrats on capitol hill claim trump broke the law not giving congress at least 30 days notice. >> these firings are donald trump's way of telling us he is terrified of accountability and is hostile to facts and transparency. >> if we don't have good inspector generals we'll see the swamp refill. they will see rampant waste, fraud. they'll see corruption. >> congressional republicans remain mostly supportive of the move. others argue trumps deserve to

clean house throughout the federal bureaucracy. >> ultimately these inspectors general serve at the pleasure of the president. he wants new people in there. he wants people focused on getting out waste and fraud and abuse and reforming these agencies. he has a right to get in there who he wants. >> one advocacy group says removal is inconsistent with the law and threat to the independence of i.g.s. people still not happy. as president trump said on air force one over the weekend he did not dismiss every inspector. he chose to keep michael horowitz overseeing the justice department in his position. >> harris: he said he thought he did a great report on james comey. he liked him. mark, thank you. clay travis, outkick founder. on my power panel i had a democrat on who worked earlier in biden's term i learned, meghan hayes. she thought maybe democrats don't get so reflexively upset

with everything trump does. if you fight over everything e then the public will think you don't know what to fight over. it is not them. >> well, first of all as much as it pains me congratulations to your chiefs who i don't think will ever lose another football game. >> harris: they will but i root for them. >> but let's dive into this. i think what you are hitting on and what your panel discussed is incredibly good here. no one is discussing this. in 2015 when trump came down the escalator and argued in favor of wall and border security and many current positions they were minority positions. most people didn't agree with him. what has happened over the last nine years as trump has made these arguments, as the border has fallen apart, as we have gotten engaged in war in europe and also in the middle east, a lot of people said wait a minute, trump was right on these. it is not even just to me,

harris, opposition. it is that democrats have now painted themselves into a corner where they are saying hey, men who identify as women should be able to win women's championships and "the new york times" is saying 79% of people disagree with you. trump has not only won the argument, he has won a substantial majority of american people on many of these issues and so i think democrats are looking at this and saying wait a minute, we are now arguing for a minority position so if we draw more attention to it, it further legitimizes the opposition to trump. there is no actual democrat person out there who is arguing in any way in an aggressive manner against trump. they recognize he is right on most of these issues now. >> harris: it is proof that on the left and liberal legacy media, most of them. weren't taking in the entire room. they didn't see all the other

information that was out there about what trump would do. he said at the town hall. how will you get men out of women's sports? i'll just do it. either you listen, pay attention or you don't. but if you don't you can't lead. this is from a post editorial board piece. trump must clean out the partisan rot at the justice department and argues trump can't afford to spend his second term being sabotaged by shadowy operators and he have needs to purge thugs happy to play politics and undermine the rule of law. all of that in a few words. >> i think that is super important. you did a great job in the town hall building back on what you said. the ad he is for us and she is for they/them that ran during every football game that we watched during the fall tested

supremely high with three groups. black men, hispanic men's, moms. think how compelling. you saw it on the room on that day when every mom and grandma had the exact same reaction in the town hall. this ties in about what you just asked me about the department of justice. trump has the right, i believe, focus on what he is doing in remaking the government in week one. but he will run into obstacles as we saw with a federal judge in washington state i believe it was on the birthright citizenship issue. we have a department of justice that has to move with trump, not against him. it is one of the most important things he has to take care of. >> harris: the couple minutes we have left i want to get into the dismantling of d.e.i. and the programs in the government and now beyond. trump is expected to sign an executive order to eliminate woke policies in the military. pete hegseth arrived on capitol hill for the first time this morning as our new secretary of

defense officially on the job and signaled eliminating d.e.i. is a top priority. he said the president's guidance is clear. no more d.e.i. at the department of defense. the pentagon will comply immediately. no exceptions, name changes or delays. president trump issued an executive order to end discrimination in higher education under the guise of d.e.i. a new fox opinion piece titled trump's written d.e.i. death sentence. school policies should be next. what is your take on all of this? >> the meritocracy should triumph everywhere. biggest, baddest strongest people in the military setting policy. not lowering standards to try to have cosmetic diversity. if we want to focus on diversity, the only diversity that matters, diversity of thought. we have to challenge our leadership and challenge all these institutions to consider a

wide range of possibilities. get to the best possible result. that's the only diversity that should matter. i think pete, congratulations to him. i was on with sean friday when he officially got his vote. he is going to go in and i love what he said. he will make lethality the focus of the military. we have to work on making sure we're the best at kicking ass in the world. if we do that, guess what? white, black, asian, hispanic all come together and we all benefit. >> harris: donkeys with standing or notwithstanding, readiness. he wants to give the president what he will need when the president says all hell will break out if you don't start returning those hostages and we saw thank the good lord more coming home now by hamas. look, he will jump into that. there are more discussions and deals and what not to the happen in the middle east. the abraham accords happened under him. there is a lot of potential there. that's what i see is readiness

coming back. clay, thank you very much. now i will talk super bowl and i know you don't like the chiefs but maybe like the eagles. i don't know. let's see. super bowl sunday. >> i feel like most people. we got two of them. >> harris: you know what? i remember that when the patriots were winning. i like winning so i always liked the patriots, too. february 9th is on fox, game kickoff 6:30 p.m. eastern. the big rematch will be in the big easy. yesterday's playoff afc and nfc games put the chiefs and eagles in super bowl 59 in new orleans. the chiefs are looking to make history by winning their third super bowl in a row. we'll see if that happens. it will be a great game. the eagles want to win for a second time the super bowl in their entire franchise history. so watch it on fox broadcast. after this, "outnumbered."

but do you have to wedge it into everything? what? i don't do that. this reminds me of my bike. the wolf was about the size of my new motorcycle. have you seen it, by the way? happy birthday, grandma! really? look how the brushstrokes follow the line of the gas tank. -hey! -hey! brought my plus-one. jamie? (♪) my back got injured very bad. i was off work for about a year. i heard about relief factor from my wife. i took it every day, three times a day, for three weeks. ...look at her and i said, “the pain is gone.” and she said, i'm glad it helped. i said, “no, you don't understand. it's gone.” relief factor is a daily supplement that doesn't just mask pain, it helps eliminate it. call or go online now for our 3-week quickstart, just $19.95. men tell us when they use just for men® to eliminate gray, there's a great “before and after”.

then, there's the 'after the after' — that boost you get when you look and feel your best. and that's why more men choose just for men®. military decoration awarded by the united states government. the tunnel to towers foundation and the congressional medal of honor society recognizes valor beyond the call of duty. britt slabinski, a recipient of the medal of honor himself, sat down with fellow recipients to hear their stories from their military service to their transition into the veteran community. it■s nothing we won, right? we're pretty vocal on that, saying, look, i didn't win anything like we're a recipient of this. you're going to highlight me for the day. we're four guys get killed. never crossed my mind about receiving the medal of honor. never. i was told i was being put in for it the day after the battle. the highest level of valor. you want to understand, why did these people lose their lives? why aren't they in my place? can't refuse it. we don't have the wear if you don't want to.

they feel you earned it. people think war ends the moment you get home. no. war sticks with you. for me, it was like i was in a fog. really? for. for several months. you're literally on the edge of life and death at any moment. and then 12 hours later, you're at home and you're going to birthday parties and you have to go back to assimilating that life. it's fascinating how many of our brothers and sisters. it■s a significant problem. end up on the streets. tunnel to towers is taking a leadership role. and specifically when i think about the veteran homeless population. we as an organization, we have gaps and it takes partnerships to come in and help us fill those gaps to ensure that nobody is left behind. and that's what tunnel to towers does. we just recently gave them our citizen honors award, recognizing all the great work that they have done. it's a fulfilling a promise to this nation, saying that, tunnel towers is gonna give you smart homes, pay mortgages. there's no level of recognition that rises to what is being done on behalf of those gold star families.
