>> yes, they are afraid to letee go of the reins. it is reflexive. anything president trumpthey suggest, they push against. you are absolutely right, common sense is what t the american people are asking for. listen, if we had ford motoren, company told, listen, you canwi produce cars with normal liability for all construction except the mustang.mu thste mustang, we will leave thn one out.e that is what we have done with vaccines. it doesn't make sense.ra: >> laura: no, it does not. dr. drew, always great to spend time with you thank you so much. follow me on social media and we pray for all of the families of the victims of this horrific crash.it it hits close to home in washington and across the country. th.nk you for watching >> todd: straight to a fox news alert. investigators are searching for answers as divers from

washington, d.c. fire and ems look for clues into the cause of the deadly plane crash that left 67 people dead. we will have live reports from our nation's capital throughout the hour. president trump's team is pushing back on heated questions from democrats during confirmation hearings as another key cabinet pick gets confirmed. plus, tariff deadline is approaching for america's two neighbors as president trump stands firm on his trade ultimateum. and vice president j.d. vance sounds off to sean hannity saying we have to unleash the american economy. this is friday morning, i'm todd piro. carley shimkus has the day off. we start with mark meredith live at potomac park. mark. >> mark: divers are expected to return to the crash site to

begin debris removal and trying to find what is left of the helicopter and regional jet involved. we learned through ntsb they recovered cockpit data recorder and voice recorder. they are in a government lab for evaluation. they say it will be at least a month before a report is released about the crash and it is far too soon to know if air traffic control staffing was at level needed to mprevent a cras or if there were communication issues. president trump appointed new head of faa and directed government to review all aviation hiring and safety decisions. >> we feel like what happened last night was preventable? >> president trump: we do. that was something that should not have happened and we'll not let it happen again.

>> mark: on capitol hill, lawmakers are accusing trump of politicizing the tragedy. there is talk from lawmakers about holding hearings to look into the crash. the question is if there is too much congestion in the skies in washington. we have reagan national and a lot of military traffic that continues to go up and down the potomac. we will have to see whether or not traffic returns as the sun comes up. todd. >> todd: a lot of questions. bring in former ntsb investigator charlie perrera. they were experienced helicopter pilots. 1500 hours among them. what reason could explain why they were flying higher than the 200-foot max? >> well, they are on a training flight, we don't know exactly what their program was for their

training or what they were attempting to train for. regardless of that, i don't think after having worked there a short distance from the crash site for 15 years and over the river for more than 15 years, i don't think there is any legitimate reason why they should be flying military helicopter flights in that area other than real defense purposes. for training flights, i don't think it is appropriate to have them in a busy area like this and as i mentioned before, they should go ahead and ban that for 30 days until they get more data. from a permanent standpoint, you should have essential helicopter flights in that area, no more training or playing war games and stuff like that. that should be taken elsewhere, where there is no danger to commercial traffic going in and out. >> todd: let's get more into

that. as everybody knows, reagan is an infamously difficult airport to fly in and out of for planes, for commercial jets, with a slew of near misses over the years. i want to read part of an article i found online. 50 feet separating maximum allowable altitude for helicopter and planes that are landing in the spot, leaving almost no room for error. so to your point, charlie, if we know it is so close, why are these helicopters playing around in this air space in the first place? >> because they're allowed to, simply put. it is high visibility area. i'm sure there is a sense of thrill about it. they have gotten away with it for a long time with a lot of close calls. i've flown over 300 jump seats with ntsb in and out of

washington, d.c. in the cockpit of the air carriers and river approaches from south side in the 33. everybody knows it is high-stakes game, very close, and humans will make mistakes every now anden this. no wonder this happened. sitting in my office looking at the river and d.c. airport 15 years, it was amazing we didn't have more much these as close as they were all the time. this accident will be the end of that, hopefully. >> todd: air traffic control, they ask, the helicopter, do you see the crj. they are more specific for those, they are saying do you see the regional jet out there without being specific as to the specific plane or location. i am not a pilot, never been on comms like this, is that ordinary, customary instruction from air traffic control with such lack of specificity?

>> unfortunately, yeah, for see and avoid type separation, that is. they rely on the training and the skill set of the pilots to make sure they have those aircraft in sight and maintain visual separation, not a very comfortable feeling when you are that low. the auto mated systems, especially on older helicopters like that, that don't have collision avoidance systems, it is really the only thing they have to keep them apart at that point. i think here we are, we know enough, seen enough tragedy, we should not allow this again. >> todd: i hope they listen to you, i hope that watch this segment and implement the changes. it was a heated day on capitol hill we'll dive into next. some of president trump's

cabinet nominees refuse to back down. >> almost all members of this panel are accepting, including yourself, millions from the pharmaceutical industry. >> oh, no. >> attacking their interests. >> no. your gut is like a garden growing both good bacteria and bad. that balance is key to a healthy gut environment. benefiber's plant-based prebiotic fiber gently nourishes the good bacteria, working with your body to help your gut, and you, flourish. effortlessly. every day. grow what feels good. with benefiber.

>> todd: a fox news alert. -- vermont border patrol agent. agencies are searching for michele zachco, also a person of interest in a double murder in pennsylvania and another murder in california. police warn she is considered armed and dangerous. border agent was gunned down during a traffic stop last week. the suspected shooter is german national charged with assault on a federal law enforcement officer. and fox news getting exclusive look at how fbi is collaborating with dhs to crack down on illegal immigration. brian driscoll says he's talked to every single special agent in charge of the bureau's 55 divisions and reached out to dhs counterparts to offer assistance and support. fbi helped dhs capture including

a tren de aragua gang member. trump's pick to lead fbi and intel director nominee tulsi gabbard and r.f.k. jr. were on defense in some very high-stakes confirmation hearings yesterday. chanley painter here with details. >> chanley: good morning, todd, what a week on capitol hill. trump's most controversial nominees take the hot seat, kash patel, tulsi gabbard and r.f.k. jr. battling with resistant senators. listen. >> those who oppose my nomination say that i am loyal to something other than god, my own conscience and the constitution of the united states. what truly unsettled my political opponents is i refuse to be their puppet. >> almost all members of this know pael are accepting, including yourself, millions from the farm surety cal

industry. >> oh, no, no, no. >> attacking their interest. >> no. >> if false accusations and grotesque mischaracterization, you are defeating credibility of the men and women of the fbi. >> chanley: for eight members have been confirmed including doug burgum yesterday. vice president j.d. vance had this advice for republicans considering voting against trump's nominees. >> you don't get to make these decisions, president trump gets to make these decisions and already has. donald trump got a different group of people to vote republican than had ever voted republican, give those parts of the coalition wins too. >> chanley: next steps are committee mark-up votes, we'll see what happens. >> todd: thank you. steamboat institute fellow, amber duke. a lot to break down there. broadly speaking what stood out

to you from those three confirmation hearings? >> i was not surprised, but impressed by how well these people were able to stand up to what ended up being nasty personal attacks, nothing much about policy or issues or what they intend to do with their agency, but about their personal character. r.f.k. jr. came back at bernie sanders after being accused of wanting to profit off his position at hhs by saying bernie, you got 1.5 million from the fpharmaceutical companies that you have a problem with me seeing. and with kash patel and tulsi gabbard, both were talking about their own expertise as trust in the agencies and intelligence community declines, telling the body, we've both been victims of weaponization, kash patel through work in unravelling the

russian collusion hoax and tulsi gabbard after being put on the do not fly list after condemning hillary clinton. >> todd: tulsi gabbard and kash patel want to talk about the intel community yet when you heard democrats questions it came off as if they don't want to restore american trust in the intel community like they are fine with how things are operating so far. my question, amber, why? >> well, they have not been on the receiving end of the weaponization. this has been almost exclusively targeted at conservatives. what i find fascinating, republican moderates who expressed unwillingness or skepticism toward trump's nominees because they are disrupters, have also voted for some of biden nominees that have

been responsible for the worst abuses. merrick garland at attorney general, for example, who carried out targeted investigations of pro-life activists or accepting idea that school board parents were domestic terrorists with fbi releasing memo targeting traditional catholic churches how could you not want somebody to come in and fix the problems? >> todd: one senator expressing doubts on r.f.k. jr. is louisiana senator bill kasidy, here he is yesterday. >> my responsibility is to learn and try to determine if you can be trusted to support the best public health. a worthy movement called maha, to improve health of americans, or to undermine it, always asking for more evidence and never accepting evidence that is there. that is why i've been struggle

withing your nomination. >> todd: that was a discussion about vaccines and autism. your reaction? 20 seconds, amber. >>esque radio comported himself well and talked about his comments have been taken out of context and you heard the crowd behind him as he was testifying, the maha crowd, republican senators will have to get on board with the fact this is cross-party coalition. >> todd: they all comported themselves well, we'll see how it shakes out. thank you. senior meteorologist janice dean here with fox weather forecast. i know you need to get to the maps, we have an active map. i did see a furry rodent pop up excited to get to that. >> janice: it is going to be groundhog day on sunday and i'm leaving today to head there. so excited. talk about the west, we have an atmospheric river setting up,

areas of low pressure in the same region that have gotten quite a bit of rain and mountain snow over last few months, i think we're in the top 10 for a lot of regions for amount of rain they have received and on top of that, easily a foot or more. look at this, two feet of rain, top 10 on record for santa rosa, mount shasta. monday, we have flash flooding potential. we'll keep an eye on that. ski resorts of loving that, we will get a lot of skiing in this season. across the east, wet weather and mixture of freezing rain, sleet, ice and some interior section snow. it is too warm to get really big blockbust erwinter storm, could see ice for new york and pennsylvania. here you go punxsutawney. i have been there when it has

they a couple were reportedly married. they were returning from wichita, kansas. skate be club of boston held a news con news conference. we are learning about four crew members and passengers of the regional jet is. sam lilly was first officer and 5432 and ian epstein was a flight attendant. the family said espstein's true love was his family. -- the best, wife, mother and friend anyone could hope for. howard university saying one of their professors died in the crash. bier and her daughter are among the victims.

one of the pilots on the black hawk was andrew eves, he was from mississippi. another of the soldiers killed in the black hawk has been identified as crew chief ryan o'hara, he was from georgia and graduated high school in 2014. >> todd: thank you. residents in wichita banning together holding a prayer vigil for the victims. >> we don't know what the day will bring, we know when we come together as one, there is power in prayer, power in community. >> this is a very difficult time, an international tragedy which has hit close to home, to our home in wichita. >> we don't know what is coming next and time together should be precious. >> todd: you just heard from reverend ben staley of chapel hill united methodist church who

was there helping families as they arrive at the airport on wednesday night. he joins me now. >> ben, what was that like meeting with families on wednesday night when the newses so fresh? >> well, as you can imagine, when we started watching the news, we were all stunned and as i was watching the news, i realized this is wichita, this is us. these are our neighbors, our mayor and councilmembers were at the airport and i heard families were arrivin and american airlines had set up volunteers to meet with families. so i was drawn by their need of hope. you can imagine how there really are no words.

the same time, we're told when there are no words, the lord himself helps articulate the lon longings of our heart to the father. i was drawn by their need of hope to go to the airport and be with them and when i got there, i met with those volunteer representatives who work with families and then with mayor and the councilmembers and had an opportunity to pray with them and then went to meet with a family member. this father, husband was there waiting for word like the rest of us. many of the families stayed home because american airlines was telling them to stay home and they would be contacted by the

airlines. i did have an opportunity to pray with this father whose daughter was on the plane. >> todd: oh. >> you can imagine, everybody there at the airport just waited and stunned asylum seekers. >> todd: i can't imagine. >> hoping. that is hard to imagine. >> todd: thank you for what you did. at a time like this, it is clear, faith is so important to help us recover at a time like this, it is all we have. reverend ben staley, we'll keep your community in our hearts and prayers. >> we appreciate prayers. >> todd: they will continue. the black hawk helicopter involved in the midair collision was reportedly flying higher than approved and outside of its flight path. we're learning the crew was made up of experienced pilots with

instructors having more than 1000 flying hours. congressman tom barrett, former black hawk pilot, joins me now. what possible explanation could there be for the helicopter flying higher than it was supposed to? >> yeah, thank you so much for having me on today and just it goes without saying our prayers and hearts are with the families of the souls onboard that lost their lives. this was a tragic accident and this investigation will tell us hopefully some causative factors that led to this. unfortunate mishaps always have knowa investigation that follows and reconstruction of facts that led up to it to allow us to learn lessons going forward to make this, ensure we have safety for civilian and military air crews that are converging in the same area to make sure things like this don't happen again.

i certain on aviation sub-committee of the transportation infrastructure committee, i know we'll take an off theive look at this. flight paths and congestion taking place, i think it is not unreasonable to look at some of the audio of what took place, the acknowledgement by the black hawk flight crew they had seen the aircraft, is it possible they were identifying the wrong aircraft and conflicting air space with. there are a lot of questions yet to be answered that i expect a thorough investigation to reveal for us. >> todd: originally on our a block, we had an ntsb former investigators who basically said these black hawks should be nowhere near reagan international airport. do you agree with that? should training missions take place this close or in the vicinity of reagan? >> well, i will say there is a safe way to have aircraft

operating in the same area, you can deconflict aircraft that are passing through versus aircraft taking off and landing. everyone has to be aware of their surroundings and every pilot mindful of other aircraft in the area and listen to air traffic control guidance that you get. it is not just as simple as saying aircraft can't be in a congested area. aircraft are always in a congested area. there are safe ways to do that, corridors that are established. there is separation of air space that can be developed. end of the day, we'll have aircraft operating near an airport, that are all coming and going at different times and require coordination, that is why we have air traffic controller and air space divided up in certain ways. i think there are going to be some lessons learned from this we have to apply going forward

to make sure we continue to have safe airline travel and we keep our military and civilian air crews safe because these things should never happen and we have to make sure lessons learned from this going forward are applied to keep everyone safe. >> todd: the controller was doing the job till cally assigned to two air traffic controllers. do you think that could play a role? >> it is absolutely a question we need answered. was workload too heavy? were there other factors at play? they will look back to did the crew have enough rest the night before this took place, both the airline crew, military crew. one thing i'm interested in looking at, should we outfit military aircraft with collision avoidance system civilian systems have. the systems only work if the two aircraft can talk to etch00

other through transponders. if one has it and one doesn't, it won't alert the pilot. we need to decide whether or not these need to be undated and systems to prevent this from happening? would it have prevented this accident? that question is open right now. we need more facts and i'm committed to making sure lessons we learn from this as this is reconstructed and we go back to the beginning of how this took place, hours before even this collision occurred, what can we apply going forward to keep everyone safe going forward both from the army, from civilian side, entire aviation network. >> todd: you are on the house aviation sub-committee, you will get us answers. thank you. president trump not backing down on tariff threats against neighbors to the north and south with 25% tariffs on goods set to take effect tomorrow. cheryl casone is here with her

>> todd: trump warns canada and mexico 25% tariffs are coming tomorrow. cheryl casone from fox business here with details. they are coming. >> cheryl: and the president again reiterating his plan to put 25% tariffs on mexico and canada. watch. >> president trump: i'll be putting the tariff of 25% on canada and separately 25% on mexico. and we will really have to do that, we have big deficits with those countries and the tariffs may or may not rise with time. >> cheryl: he went on truth social and kept going and said we'll require commitment from seemingly hostile companies they will neither create a currency or face 100% tariff. h harold lutnick said, if mexico and canada stop the flow of

fentanyl, illegal drugs coming into this nation, then tariffs will be taken off the table. "wall street journal" is reporting a lot of the president's aides are trying to come up with a hail mary with this does not go into effect tomorrow. one idea, i want to say, you put the tariffs in, okay, put them in writing and put a grace period, 30 or 60 days so negotiations can continue. it is up to the president. >> todd: on monday, we'll see if we have tariffs, interesting. j.d. vance was on with hannity. >> cheryl: this is part of trade story with mexico and canada, we import oil especially from canada. but he is of course touting energy economy of our nation. he told sean hannity that this will lower cost for american

consumers. watch. >> we have access to energy. energy goes into our manufactured goods. energy goes into transportation, it gets things from one place to the grocery store or home depot or wherever people are buying things they need. we have to unleash the american energy economy fchl we do that, we will create good jobs, high wages and lower cost for american consumers. >> cheryl: this is why so many supported this team in november. if you create jobs and make the nation more energy independent, it helps economic growth and lifts all income classes and increases wages and helps everything. we'll see if it helps inflation. >> todd: if you become energy independent and not reliant on canada, they don't have as much leverage on tariff discussions. >> cheryl: saudis, too. >> todd: have a great weekend. thank you. catch cheryl on mornings with

maria. sources telling fox news two migrants in custody for suspected murder of a 63-year-old chicago man found dead at his home same day tom homan led a raid in that sanctuary city. william jay kelly joins me now. william, go over information we have at this point. the two are believed to have crossed southern border in summer 2023 and the victim met suspects on a dating app. one had an ankle monitor on when arrested. do you blame chicago's sanctuary policy for this brutal killing of an american citizen? >> god bless you, todd. 100%, yes. almost as if chicago is behind the iron curtain despite the fact the berlin wall fell. we have leaders who think it is their job to protect violent repeat offender illegal aliens

from the police instead of to protects the citizens from illegal alien offenders. only thing that is really -- quick update to the story, one of the suspects was arrested a couple weeks ago for trying to lure a 13-year-old girl into a car and he was let go. it is a revolving door, especially for illegal aliens because of this whole sanctuary city status and governor prits pr pritzker's safety act, we'll talk about another time. it is a revolving door, as if illegal aliens have general counselor status and can't be prosecuted for any crime. it is outrageous. >> todd: number one job of government, really their only true necessary function, is to protect the citizens under their watch.

you are an expert in chicago and illinois politics, do you truly believe that mayor johnson and governor pritzker believe that in their heart? all indications are they don't. >> you don't have to believe me, i just asked mayor johnson why tom homan was able to roll into town and within 24 hours have a convicted sex offender in custody, illegal alien in chicago flouting the sexual offender registration since 2009. can you imagine? mayor johnson said to me, it is not my job, it is outrageous. mayor johnson has been asked to appear before congress to testify. he is hesitant to accept this invitation, i would jump at the opportunity to testify before congress and lay it out chapter and verse what sanctuary city

policies have done to american citizens, todd. >> todd: it is horrific, we do a story each day on it and we can continue doing it, hopefully tom homan, donald trump, dhs, kristi noem get this situation under control and fast because as we just reported, people are dying still. william jay kelly, thank you for your time and for staying on top of this, the citizens thank you, as well. winsome sears has been receiving updates on the plane crash in our nation's capital and she joins us next with details. lawrence jones will look at what is coming up on friends. >> lawrence: immigration rates continue across major u.s. cities we asked ice director about the operation here. and new reports on the d.c. plane crash saying air traffic controller was working two jobs at once after years of concerns over busy air space surrounding

reagan. that is crazy. troy neals on that and trump administration nominees on the hill yesterday fighting for confirmation. jason miller on the process and trump's renewed promise to place tariffs on canada and mexico. all right. going to be a busy show top of the hour "fox and friends," don't go anywhere. i always wanted to know why i am the way i am. my curiosity led me to ancestry.

it was amazing to see all the traits that i've gotten from my mother in my dna. it's a family thing. it's a family thing.

>> todd: singers, first responders and coming together to speak and perform at the benefit concert fire aid taking place through tomorrow. performers lady gaga, stevey knicks, no doubt and the red hot chili peppers. first responders and those who lost their homes took the stage to share their stories. newly released body footage of the moment a 100-year-old woman rescued from senior living facility during the wildfires. los angeles sheriff deputies jumping into the rescue going door to door to make sure no one was left behind. that's when they ran into the woman left on your screen looking for a way out but get this could not hear the deputies because her hearing aids were charging. unreal. fairfax county school district saying three virginia public school students and six parents were on that american airlines flight that collided with an army helicopter.

virginia governor glenn youngkin calling the situation heart wrenching. >> to know that 67 innocent lives were lost in this tragedy with 67 families having to deal with the reality that they lost a mother and father or sister or brother or son or a daughter is just breathtaking. >> todd: virginia lt. governor and 2025 virginia gubernatorial candidate winsome sears joins me now. lt. governor how do you begin to console a country. >> it reminds me when we had the tornadoes come through on virginia beach and tore whole houses gone and when we had the floods in our southwest and just communities whole, gone. and sometimes all you can do is just be there and hug necks and cry with them and tell them we're going to get through.

this i know it's going to be hard. but you are going to get through it. here's the thing, when it's a sudden death like this, you know, you are coming to the airport to pick up your loved one, it's normal and natural that you are going to go out and maybe eat dinner and talk about homework as in the case of the children that were killed on the flight. it just -- it shocks your system. >> todd: do you think we need to re-examine the air traffic at reagan and other busy airports throughout the country but, of course, your focus there is the washington, d.c. metro area. do we need to refocus on reagan? >> well, certainly something has to be done. that's why the ntsb is doing all that they can as i'm told to make sure that this doesn't happen again. it is a very busy air corridor a lot of elected officials all over the country coming in and out and so we also have a

military installation there. this kind of heavy traffic is not unheard of but we understand that it's been understaffed. we have someone, the air traffic controller who is responsible for both the helicopters and airplanes and i'm told that it's supposed to not be that way this is something as i have also watched where the ntsb persons have testified before congress this is a problem perpetual understaffing of our airports. something has to be done. you know the black boxes were recovered last night that is going to reveal more information. so we have got to let the investigations happen but, truly, a tragedy, absolutely. >> this is still so fresh but you certainly hope that something positive comes out of this for the rest of the air traveling public we need to be

safer and re-examine these huge hubs and the crowded airspace in these facilities a lot of people have said it's a matter of time before something like this happens. meantime, you have been on the forefront of the fight against illegal migrant crime. the feds cuffing more than 900 illegal migrants in one single day including tren de aragua gang bangers and dangerous honduran migrant. why are the colleagues on the left, governor, still seemingly up in arms about donald trump's deportation plans? >> >> you know it boggles the mind and doesn't make any common sense, you know, we are sorely lacking in that area. we have had illegals here who have committed severe crimes. i'm talking about murder in some of our communities. i'm talking about fentanyl poisoning that has come through our borders and has hurt so many virginians. and then, of course, we have had rapes that have happened and god forbid that we should have these folks gone from our country.

we have had enough of this nonsense and it is time for those, especially who are criminals, and here illegally, you have got to go back home. you are making a mess of our country. you said that you came here for the opportunities as my father did but you didn't you calm here illegal limit wyoming donald trump 100 percent. finally we are not going to have sanctuary cities in virginia. the people do not want them. poll after poll shows they are not safe and folks don't feel safe in their communities and that's why we are elected to do the common sense thing and the first thing it s. to keep everyone safe. >> todd: lt. governor winsome sears always a pleasure to have you on the program. thank you. speaking of programming, i will be on the big weekend show this weekend i will see you 6 to 8 tomorrow and sunday. and with that, "fox & friends" begins right now, have a great weekend, everybody
