looking at j.d. vance in damascus, virginia, with the virginia governor. he is fulfilling a campaign promise to revisit areas hit by hurt helene, and j.d. vance promised the people of the town of damascus he would return if he became vice president. he is fulfilling that pledge. we'll monitor his movements. and before we go, i have a special event coming up this week, for my number 1 best selling book "under his wings: how faith on the front lines have protected troops," and we will be talking about the book at 2:30 at point pleasant beach high school in new jersey, and you can buy tickets to join out at thelittlepointbookshop.com. >> it's unacceptable that the

far left colombian government would not take their own citizens back. president trump in the white house means making america strong again and making america respected again. >> that governor there, that ridiculous governor of illinois, who seems more fussed about how their own citizens, are they playing by the rules and breaking the rules, and he is putting out misinformation about raids on schools and stoking fear and divisions in our country instead of getting behind the new administration who is trying to protect our country. >> the criminals who came here, and targeting tom homan right now, and we feel good they are being taken back to their countries and out of our neighborhoods. >> sandra: one week it's been since president trump took office, and boy, has he made his message clear. his administration is already

carrying o out one of his bigget campaign promises. mass deportations. we're going to dig into this moments from now. hello, welcome, everyone, i'm sasandra smith in new n new yo. >> this is a thousand people apprehended. i'm john roberts in washington and this is "america reports." agents conducted raids across the country last week, and just yesterday, they arrested, as i said, nearly a thousand people. >> sandra: the new york post touting there is a new tariff in town, a nod to the threat that trump made to get colombia to accept the deportation flights, and border czar tom homan was on the ground in chicago and warned that the policies will not stop federal agents from targeting people who posed public safety threats. >> john: over the weekend, the operation took many of the public safety threats off the streets including convicted murderers, rapee rapeists and gg

members and tom homan is here to talk about this, and to speak to the false claims of i.c.e. agents showed up at a school and it was another agency. >> sandra: we have live coverage, and first, alexis mcadams is in our studio and has more on the raids. >> you said it happened over the weekend, and president trump promised this on the campaign trail, saying he's going to do something about it. the i.c.e. raids span several states leading to the arrest of more than a thousand migrants over the weekend and it's not over yet. in texas, i.c.e. finding three rifles, two pistols, and more than 3,000 rounds of ammo. sources telling fox that a member of the sinaloa drug cartel out of mexico was carrying t the weapons when he s arrested in el paso, texas, and

pea raiding a party that was planned posted on social media, and targeting drug trafficking and g gang members in the venezuela gang, and many have ties to the gang, and i.c.e. was doing background checks on the people they arrested and boarding them on the bus you are looking at. and the rocky mountain team from the dea say they boarding to quickly, that some were left on ice. >> we detained approximately 50 people. i.c.e. was part of this operation with us. they were here because we knew that we were going to have potentially a lot of illegal aliens on the scene, and i.c.e. ran checks on every single person. >> yesterday, i.c.e. says 960 arrested, and some detainers and hoping to hole them in jails around the country, and i.c.e. made several arrests in atlanta, and i.c.e. said it's not about

enforcement, but protection of the american people, and sources tell fox, new york city is next and we are told it's a massive raid and people are looking forward to that and they want information about who will be taken next. >> sandra: wow, alexis, you're on it. thank you very much. john. >> john: president trump squaring off with colombia's president over the weekend, and colombia trying to block the arrival of two deportation flights and reversed course when trump threatened retaliatory measures and tariffs, and senior white house correspondent jackii heinrich has the latest, and there's a new sheriff in town and he's just getting started. >> offering the presidential plane to repatriate deportees after the crushing tariffs that starting at 25% and increasing to 50% within a week and

seizing on the moment. alexandria ocasio cortez posted on x, saying... >> we established law and order in the first order of businesses to get the people here, the violent criminals to get them out, and i think you saw when the colombia president pushed back on that, we can do it the easy way or the hard way. but one way or another, the american people have spoken on this and we're going to deport people here illegally. >> house speaker mike johnson says trump's handling on this sent a clear message, quote:

[reading quote on screen] and officials tell fox, they should see the arson. and border czar tom homan said they cannot hide out in well known locations. and 960 arrests alone according to one report. >> john: jacqui heinrich for us. thank you. sandra. >> sandra: amid this, border czar tom homan was on the ground in chicago as federal and local authorities worked together to track down and arrest criminal migrants and he, as you can see, joins us now. thank you very much, sir, for being here, and we want to ask you, first up, is the president happy with this progress? >> well, i think the president is happy. but we're going to make him happier. yesterday was just day 1. these raids are going throughout the country. we're not going to let up. we put our foot on the gas and we're going to go. as i explained to several

stations yesterday, the aperture continues to grow and right now we are concentrating on public safety and safety threats, and as we open up the aperture, and we will look at those here at the taxpayers' expense, and anybody in the country illegally, they're on the table, and we go after them in a priorization and what makes sense. the worst first. >> john: first of all, why did you want to go to chicago? will you go to more cities like chicago? what was the reaction when you talked to the local forces there, like the local police. >> well, look, i went to chicago a couple of times, and met with the black pastors, and met with the community and they begged for i.c.e. enforcement action because of the crime in chicago. i made a commitment we'll be there and made a commitment to the mayor of chicago i'm coming to chicago even though it was said i was not welcomed and governor pritzker said i wasn't welcomed. and he put on social media that i.c.e. was in schools.

where they were not. and cheers walking through the airport, and through the streets, and we watched for a nature station because we were had been on the road so long, and every uniform walked up and shook our hands and thanking us for making their community safer. >> sandra: and we are looking at the video, and the last video on sunday and another video. and one was the agents knocking on the person's door. pulling them outside. and bringing them out to the federal vehicles. so can you give us a sense of -- are every single one of these people -- are they criminals? gang members? every single one of them? what exactly have you been able to determine and what can you tell news. >> yesterday, and during the operation i was part of, i can tell you we arrested more than 9 dta members, a couple of them criminally prosecuted because one of them was selling weapons. here is an illegal alien gang member in the united states selling guns -- illegal guns to

other gang members. some of the gangs had what they call switch. it is added to the gun to make it fully automatic and it turns a glock gun into a machine gun and we arrested some with murder convictions walking the streets, and sexual predators, mostly child predators, and we arrested people with assault allegations, extreme sexual assault. these are all bad people. public safety threats. they shouldn't be walking the streets of chicago. if they weren't a sanctuary city, we would have arrested them in the safety and the security of a jail rather than released in the community and putting the community at greater risk of crime and assaults. >> something crazy happened in chicago at the end of last week, two secret service agents went to a local elementary school because they were running themselves on a threat that was on tik tok and they left cards and said, look, here's how you get back to us. suddenly the story became it was i.c.e. agents who went to the school, tom.

and pedro martinez, the chicago public school administrator said this. listen here. >> we had individuals coming to one of the schools that presented credentials that are -- that -- and shared they were from i.c.e. and so our staff followed the protocols. we were very clear with them. we've been training our principals, our security guards, any front office staff to make sure that making sure they know we are not to share any information with anybody from the immigration department or i.c.e. >> john: not only did the ceo of chicago public schools pass off misinformation about u.s. secret service agents who were interpreted to be i.c.e., but listen to what jb pritzker, the governor said after that. [reading quote on the screen] >> to be clear again, these were secret service agents running

down a threat made on tik tok, and they were not i.c.e. agents, and i.c.e. never went near the school, and what do you say to pedro martinez and the governor of i illinois that appear to be selling fear. >> he lied. he knew it was secret service agents and i talked to the people involved. they left their credentials, and he knew who was there. sewing fear in the immigrant community, and the governor, rather than calling i.c.e. and asking us did it happen or not happen? he goes on social media and terrifies elementary schools that i.c.e. agents are walking in there. he accuses me of terrifying the community. no, he terrified the community and the children. i.c.e. did yesterday? they saved children and we arrested 9 sexual predators, many child predators, and we didn't go to the schools and scare the children. and the governor needs to give an apology and he is plain wrong and by doing that put fear in

the community that shouldn't be there. and children shouldn't have fear that i.c.e. agents are walking into the elementary school and arresting them. >> sandra: tom, i don't know if you had a chance to see the video going viral over the past hour or so, and we're working to clear it and in fact the hollywood celebrity that posted it deleted probably because she faced backlash for it noting that the majority of respondents are in favor of deportation of criminal and gang members, and she posted a video sobbing and crying in it and said all of my people are being attacked with the picture of the mexican flag. again she has taken it down. what do you say to those who are out there saying that these are everyday people -- these are families that are being attacked and dragged out of their homes. how do you respond to that? >> i don't think we arrested any families. we arrested public safety threats and national security threats. bottom line. look, president trump won the election on this one issue: securing our border and saving lives.

this -- what happened on the southern border the last 4 years is the biggest national security threat our country has seen and 600% increase in sex trafficking, and a record number of terrorists crossing the border on terrorist watch list, and quarter million of americans dying from fentanyl coming across the open border. we're going to do this job and we're going to enforce the laws of the country. if you don't like it, go to congress and change the law. we're going to do the separatios operation without apology. and once we lock the border, you'll see fentanyl deaths decrease, and alien illegal crime decrease, and sex trafficking decrease, and it's all for the good of the nation and we're going to keep going. no apologies, we're moving forward. >> john: one quick question to finish it off here. president trump twisted the arm of colombia's president, gustavo petro, and got him to reverse course in a matter of hours, but we don't have repatriation agreements with venezuela or with china. what do you do with people from those two countries apprehended? >> first of all, we got president trump. they will take 'em back.

i'm convinced because under first trump administration, el salvador would not take ms-13 members and it took president trump 48 hours and we were filling planes in el salvador and ms-13, and mexico, they didn't want to put the military on the southern border and we did it. a strong -- >> you're dealing with president xi. >> if they don't take it, we'll find a third safe country and i have third countries willing to take nationals from any country from us, and we're working on those agreements. if we can't move them one place, we'll put them somewhere else. >> sandra: thank you, tom. >> john: see you soon. and crews helping to put out southern california wildfires and the downpour creating fresh problems. what we know about the new risks ahead. >> sandra: a chinese start-up hammering global tech stocks and here is the moment that nasdaq plunged in midday trading with all of this came out. it's raising new questions about u.s. dominance in artificial

intelligence. we're going to dig into this and no tax on tips with robert wolf and steve moore.ke o they join us next

the way i approach work post fatherhood, has really trying to understand the generation that we're building devices for. here in the comcast family, we're building an integrated in-home wifi solution for millions of families like my own. in the average household,

there are dozens of connected devices. connectivity is a big part of my boys' lives. it brings people together in meaningful ways. >> john: president trump was betting big on support from service workers when he promised no triple a credit rating. tax on tips and now republicans are pushing for that. joining us from a hot spot, what are people saying? >> i am talking to servers in miami beach, and they asked why president trump didn't include this with exact of orders. he can't raise or reduce taxes through executive orders. it has to be legislation. why the no tax on tips is

getting worked on and president trump was in las vegas over the weekend and taking a victory lap and promising to fulfill the campaign pledge. >> president trump: if you're a restaurant worker, server, valet, bartender, or one of my caddies or any other worker who relies on tip income, your tips will be 100% yours. >> the no tax on tips act would amend an internal revenue code. it would allow employees to claim a deduction up to $25,000 per year on earned tips from federal income taxes. this bill says only traditionally tipped employees will benefit. this includes bartenders, restaurant servers, and beauty services like barbers, hair stylists, nail care, esthetics and spa treatment. >> this is just another opportunity to give people a tax reduction when they are struggling. they struggled under biden's inflation.

>> florida senator rick scott says the no tax on tips w act wl be an extension of president trump's tax cuts. it has to go through the house and senate, he is very optimistic it will pass with significant support. >> this money is actually coming for me, for my pocket. it's going to help me, you know, pay rent or whatever i have to buy. obviously it's actually going to help the service, as well, and customers getting better service, better intention. >> reporter: fox news poll shows that 62% of people are in favor of this. showing that this goes well beyond the support of just people in the service industry. john. >> john: well, based on what happened in the election campaign, this should pass congress easily because the democrats were supporting it when kamala harris threw in and said i want to tax on tips, too. thank you so much. sandra. >> sandra: robert wolf

economic advisor and steve moore former economic advisor. do you like this? >> i like it. i thought it was smart by president trump and sa smart by vice president harris, and especially if they are recapping it and truly restricting to the tip service sector. and i think it should pass and i think it's a smart amendment. >> he has a very animated pitch for this from las vegas on saturday. steve, here was president trump. listen. >> president trump: no tax on tips. [cheering] so if you're a restaurant worker, a server, a valet, a bellhop, a bartender, one of my caddies -- i go through caddies like candy. if i play badly, i always blame

my caddie. or any other worker who relies on tipped income, your tips will be 100% yours. [cheering and applause] >> sandra: as a former caddie, myself, steve, i will tell you all golfers blame their caddie. steve, you know, it's -- i just don't know how of those groups of people will argue with this. you heard the enthusiasm there and you heard it during the election. >> sandra, were you carrying one bag or two? >> sandra: two. double bags. i made a lot of money my first job. >> you must be strong. and my first job was i was a car valet, and i was 17 years old and park cars, and sometimes 1 and $2 tip, and sometimes a $5 tip. i agree with what robert said. i simply say the only way this works is to basically say cash tips. if you're paid in cash and you are stuffing 40 and $50 in your

pocket at night, you shouldn't have to pay a tax on that. i think that the way they're setting it up is there would be a certain amount of tips that would be tax deductible. i think it's a good way to do it. i like what the waitress said by the way, she said, you know, when you're a tipped worker, you get paid more when you do a really good job when you provide the service that the customer wants. i love that. it's pay for performance. >> sandra: it goes back toe baco what republicans say about lower taxes, incentivizes people to work harder to take home more of their hard earned money. people know they will spend their money better than the government will. robert, i will give you a final thought on that before i ask you about the market. >> well, i did play golf with president trump years ago. and i would tell you his caddies were good to me on the putts. >> sandra: okay. got it. understood. can i understand about the market movement? i can't show you the nasdaq, the

nasdaq is down 700 points. about a 3.5% drop, and the dow has been -- it was down a bit this morning and flatline, and the tech-heavy nasdaq is where we see the hit mostly right now, and the dow has turned positive here, in fact. the wall street journal is talking about -- you know, nvidia stock which has taken a huge sit and it's sinking on the a.i. rout sparked by china's deepseek. how much fear realistically is out there, steve, and help people understand why this is such a big deal. >> well, i hope it's not a big deal. because i've made a lot of money on nvidia stock over the last two years, and i don't want to see it disappear. i happen to think that this is a lot of hype. i think there's a bit of -- you know, fake news here with respect to the chinese catching up with us. i'm going to continue to bet oa. i don't know if my friend robert

agrees with me, i love what silicone valley is doing in terms of the new era of robotics and a.i. >> sandra: things have changed on the fox news channel and we can show you the nasdaq live, and there is the selloff, and robert, safe to say there are fears in the technology world and no doubt there are huge bets all over the world on artificial intelligence. so what does this news mean for all of them? >> well, listen, i'm going to partially disagree with steve. i'm not questioning how good silicone valley is with respect to a.i. and robotics and start-ups. but with that being said, this is huge news. and it's not positive. china just showed through deepseek over the last few days that even with export controls, okay, they can actually go toe to toe to us with a.i. in a more efficient, more cost effective way and more timely basis.

deepseek did this without the top nvidia chips because of the export control, and did it supposedly less than $10 million when you have microsoft, google, meta, you know, spending billions and billions of dollars. we know openai chatgpt raised $6 billion. and they are the number 1 app over the weekend, and the llm -- the large language process models are showing that the deepseek ones on reasonableness is going toe to toe with what we've done in the states. i think this is absolutely no time to be complacent, and i think this is scary. >> sandra: a lot of companies that are focusing on this news right now, and a lot of investors, as well, as you can see the nasdaq down 700 points. that's a 3.5% move. you know, i always say to people who want their kids to golf, i say have them caddie first, and you learn the etiquette and the rules before you ever take a swing. i highly recommend it.

>> the main thing you have to do is find donald trump's ball. >> sandra: thanks, steve. thanks, robert. good to see you both. john. >> john: more often than not, his ball is in the middle of the fairway. thousands of palestinians returning home to the northern gaza strip. will the israel-hamas ceasefire hold? former state department official nathan sale is up next on that. >> john: and the stunning reversal on what likely caused the covid-19 pandemic, and jeff sims joins us.mp heer will break that down coming up. close your eyes and think warm thoughts. or open your eyes and get out here. there's only one vehicle lineup that embraces everything the cold has to offer. the official vehicles of winter. jeep, there's only one. right now, during the jeep start something new sales event, get $3,500 dollars total bonus cash allowance on most 2024 jeep wrangler gas-powered models. hurry in today.

[ ♪ ♪ ] >> thousands of palestinians returning to their homes in northern gaza as six more hostages are set to return to israel this week as part of the ceasefire deal with hamas. former ambassador at large and coordinator for counterterrorism under president trump nathan sales here is react. but first, senior correspondent mike tobin is live in tel aviv with the news. hi. >> hi, sandra. with the fragile ceasefire

holding, tens of thousands of palestinians were able to complete the trip to where their homes used to be in the northern gaza strip, and roughly after 16 months scavenging for shelter or living in tents and they carried the belongings they could and got back to the locations where their homes were largely devastated. the gaza strip was impoverished before the war and now it's a wasteland. and the qatari prime minister who mediated the talks said the palestinians could have been home a long time ago. >> we have been through a very long process that has been sometimes -- many times very frustrating for us as mediators. and what is really -- what we feel sad about is that it took that much to get to an agreement that we have -- you know, agreed on a framework since december 23. and the problem that every day we were delayed, we felt sense of responsibility that this day

is costing a lot of lives -- whether it's on the gazans or the hostages who are being held in gaza. >> now the three-state ceasefire faltered over the weekend but rebounded with hamas agreeing to release additional hostages. a civilian, and the last female soldier in captivity. a third unidentified hostage wwill be released on thursday. the release of three scheduled hostages are still on track for saturday, and the idf chief of the medical corps says of the hostages released so far, they all had injuries from october 7th. some of them still had shrapnel in their bodies. the medical care while received while in captivity was not up to western standards. they were malnourished, but all things considered, relatively they were in good health, going forward, he anticipates that the

hostages released in the future not to be in such good health primarily because they are older. >> sandra: mike tobin in tel aviv on that. >> john: thank you, sandra. and br now we bring in nathan sales. donald trump as we see the mass movement of gazans from the south to the north and going back to what is left of their homes and in many cases it's nothing, and president trump is saying he would like to see gazans moved somewhere else while the place is rebuilt. this is what he said. other day. >> presid >> john: could be temporary, could be long-term. but when you have places like

jordan and egypt refusing to take in gazans or palestinians, is the idea feasible? >> well, john, it's a great question. i think clearly the neighboring countries surrounding gaza can do more and need to do more to help address the suffering that was brought on by hamas' attack by israel, and the dirty little secret in the middle east is that lots of governments there couldn't care less about the palestinians. it's easier for them to sit on the sidelines and point fingers and criticize israel rather than rolling up their sleeves and getting to work. what president trump is doing is calling on jordan and egypt and others to put their money where their mouth is. it's time to step up, it's time to provide the support and the assistance that you say the gazans need. let's show them the money. let's work together and find a solution that is going to actually meet the humanitarian needs rather than just running in front of a television camera

to denounce israel. >> sandra: okay, so i hear sort of a call to action here. so what are you anticipating that this administration can do next? >> well, sandra, i think time will tell. i think the president was putting out a suggestion on the table. and what we're going to see coming out of the white house now is some more detailed proposals for what that could look like, and i imagine washington is also going to be back channeling to jordan and egypt, all right, guys, you said we needed to end the war and get a ceasefire and provide assistance to the palestinians on a greater scale, what are your ideas. i think time will tell what this is going to look like in practice. the big picture, we're going to look to the region to step up and help the palestinians. >> all right, another big conflict that the president says he wants to get settled is the ukraine warp. he sai -- ukraine war.he said p, and he doesn't know what the meeting will happen. and can they achieve a lasting

peace in ukraine, and what to you does it look like? >> i think president trump understands the value of leverage at least as anybody in the world. if we want the war to end and we do, the killing has to stop and we want it to end on terms favourable to the united states and our partners. what that means in particular is we simply can't let russia hit the pause button, use a ceasefire to rearm and then another crack at ukraine six months, a couple years from now. we've seen this play before, right. this is what happened during the obama administration and then the biden administration. a pause is simply a recursor to renewed hostilities, we can't afford that. we have to squeeze the economy and hit the banking sector, and biden could have done it three years ago. and it's great that president trump is talking about doing it now. >> sandra: got it. that's always leverage.

and see if it was going to work this way, and i think trump stared it down and it capped off, as what was, as you talked to tom homan earlier in the show, a very good week for the trump administration, particularly immigration. they feel empowered. >> john: so alexadria ocasio cortez unfolded what was happening in colombia, and let me get my twitter or x out, and tweeted... [reading on screen tweet] the president of colombia retweeted that. first, we get coffee from more than one country, by the way. >> i don't know if the selling point to the american people is we'll keep criminal people in the country but we'll keep the coffee. and the colombian president tested that and he backed down

and this is a time that prespresident trump is correct,d we want violent criminals out of the country and there have been hundreds of flight and they should continue. if you're here illegally and committed crimes, get out. a lot of support for the laken riley act. they are willing to work with president trump on this. >> will they work with president trump on no tax on tips, that is one of the things that kamala harris turned to on the campaign. >> that was a matter of kamala harris looking over president trump's shoulder and copying his homework. he was in las vegas talking about that and he talked about the common sense and the common sense agenda. >> john: can democrats resist that when it's a trump idea, they will resist it. >> they will work on that with him.

>> really? >> the devil is in the details, and the democrats have a plan, and so has ted cruz and the way they have written it is very different. >> john: and president trump written i it, it's restricted. >> and if it's restricted and doesn't allow millionaires and lawyers to allow them to get into it, which ted cruz's version does, and remember, he will put it in the giant tax bill, and benefit only the top percentage of the countries, and if he wants to expand that and work with democrats on a middle class tax cut, yes, they'd be happy to work with him on it. >> we'll see what unfolds in the days and weeks ahead. thank you, gentlemen. >> sandra: and what the birthright citizenship means for illegal migrants who give birth here and bret tollman gets into it. >> john: and relief for the california wildfires, with the good comes the bad, and also the
