potentially a little bit of cockpit confusion. then think in two different directions. so confusion on kind of everybody's part. it was kind of too many things happening at one time. >> from the cockpit is it a significant difference between 200 feet? 500 feet? does that feel like a lot? >> no, it doesn't. there may have been night vision goggles there may have not. when you were underwater kind of hard to tell where you are at. that can happen fast. >> got to go. thank you so much our condolences to your friend andrew eves and everybody else who died in that horrible crash thank you for being here. that is the story friday january 31st but as always the story goes on. martha will be back here at 3:00. the will cain show starts right now.

>> will: we start the will cain show with the fox news alert. we expect the national transportation safety board to get an update on wednesday's deadly mitt airplane helicopter collision in b.c. within the next hour. within the next 30 minutes we learn the faa will be restricting helicopter traffic around the national airport. let's go to griff jenkins standing by the airport. >> good afternoon a lot of news let's get you caught up. starting with the air restriction. just moments ago transportation secretary sean duffy tweet to go to that in consultation with president trump and secretary hank seth at the dod they have decided to restrict helicopters from the airspace around reagan national airport. unclear at this is temporary or may endure for a longer period. we will lose it -- way to learn more about that but as you mentioned the ntsb briefing scheduled for a clock now pushed to 5:30 and we are waiting to

learn a lot of important details because of course they recovered the two black boxes, the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder from crj 700 airplane that can tell us the conversation of the part that's at the time of the crash and of course the flight data recorder could give us onto a nanosecond the location and altitude of that plane at the time of the impact. meanwhile, a little bit earlier today, a sombre update has the crews worked the river here and difficult conditions with rain and fog. the d.c. fire and ems chief have this to say about what they have recovered so far. >> we have identified 41 or we covered 41 sensitive remains and 28 of the victims have been positively identified. as of 6:00 a.m. this morning, next of kin notifications have been made to 18 families.

>> meanwhile at the white house press secretary karoline leavitt being asked about whether americans should be afraid to fly, particularly on the heels of president trump's comments about dei possibly figuring into all of this here is how she handled that. listen. >> when you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones which everyone of us in this room has, do you pray your plane to land safely and gets it to your destination? or do you pray that the part that has a certain skin color? >> finally, we have learned the names of two of the three soldiers on that black hawk. the first being staff sergeant ryan austen o'hara 28 years old of georgia, and of course the other one chief warrant officer andrew lloyd eves. 39 years old of grave mills maryland at the request of the family, the name of the third soldier is not being announced at this time. we will bring you the latest as we get it. >> will: thank you for that.

a little over one hour, almost an hour and a half we will hear from the ntsb. as officials continue to look for answers on the collision it continues to show why president trump needs his cabinet picks confirmed and working. in that spirit i have three questions. specifically three questions i would like to ask to republican senators. when it comes to the confirmation hearings of robert f. kennedy jr., kash patel, the first question would be is the status quo working? this could be applied to any host of issues. we can apply it to the faa we could apply it to our house we could apply it to our trust to national security. we could apply it to our intelligence community. right now obesity rates in america are setting records. take a look at the obesity rates among children and adults. 20% of kids, 42% of adults of peace and the united states. robert of canadian jr. took that to task in his confirmation hearing yesterday.

>> no other nation in the world has what we have here, no other nation has a chronic disease, we have the cot -- highest chronic disease burden of any country in the world. americans of the sickest people on earth. >> will: so that first question to senators and republicans is that status quo working? second question, do you think tulsi gabbard and robert f. kennedy jr. are honest truth seekers? do you think they are asking questions where they are truly seeking the truth? look at tulsi gabbard and her military history, her life records, almost 20 years in the national guard, and army reserve now. she served two tours in the middle east, she has a mirrored tory service medal during operation iraqi freedom. she is asking questions about what we all know has filled the status quo over the last two decades. intelligence leading us to war in iraq? or intelligence leaders who told

us that hunter biden's laptop with russian disinformation. and robert f. kennedy jr. asking questions about whether or not we should accept medicinal expertise as a religion or are allowed to use critical thought and asked questions. ask for yourself are they honest truth seekers? like this from tulsi gabbard. >> you may here lies and smears in this hearing that will challenge my loyalty and my love for my country. >> i want to make certain that in no way does russian -- russia get a pass in either your mind or your heart or any policy recommendation you would make or not make. >> senator, i am offended by the question. because my so focused, commitment, and responsibility is about our own nation, our own security, and the interest of the american people. >> or you aware that your comments about proxy wars and russia's legitimate security concerns to quote your own words

are in alignment with what the russians have said to justify their invasion of ukraine? >> senator, i don't pay attention to russian propaganda. my goal is to speak the truth regardless of whether you like it or not. >> have you ever knowingly met with any members, leaders, are affiliates of hezbollah? >> no. and it is an absurd accusation. >> i have now made a final decision. >> will: i would like to help you make that decision. if you believe these are critical thinkers, independent thinkers, honestly seeking the truth and looking to disrupt a status quo that is not working let's ask the third question. what did the people of america vote for? robert f. kennedy jr. and kelsey

a bard -- tulsi gabbard undoubtably played a role in the election of donald trump. they put together the coalition and a ha and maga that has not been seen here in decades. for moms, to hunters, to former democrats. >> i, like millions of americans, want healthy food, of the medicine, and a healthy planet to. i want to watch my child grow up healthy. these numbers of parents burying their own children is far too high. increases year after year that number. there is no greater tragedy than watching your child suffer, than having to bury your own child. i have heard from hundreds of thousands of parents across america it has to stop. >> he has been very active and heavily involved in the conservation movement and aspects of clean air, clean water, i follow his work over the years and i think that he is

also asking some pretty compelling questions about health and diet. as you know you go through these trends and health and diet recommendations about food that seem to be somewhat biased and political at times. we're one's diet becomes political. i think he has some refreshing perspectives. i think he is asking some important questions. >> will: a pretty unique coalition put together that helped elect on a trump president of the united states. i'm guess i'm asking these questions of the following senators who still seem to have questions about tulsi gabbard, rfk jr., kash patel, you can see on your screen some senators today we do not know how they will vote on donald trump's cabinet. you have to ask yourself that final question. what to the people of america ask for a? if you choose not to vote for the people that america endorsed and their vote for donald trump, what will come of your next election?

senator john cornett and senate majority leader seems to understand. he posted on x, having one the election decisively i believe president trump has earned the right to appoint his own covenant absent extraordinary circumstances. i would love to hear the answers from those three questions from any republican senators today considering the vote on rfk, kash patel, or tulsi gabbard. a new day and new media at the white house briefing. we will talk to one of the cohosts at the ruthless podcast to got the first question in the new media seat today. >> make this room a little bit bigger to do that. who want to participate in our new media see out of future briefing. in the seat today we have the ruthless podcast. >> will: a quick look at the corner, stocks traffic up at a stronger month. all major averages more high in january.

>> will: welcome back to the will cain show it was a busy afternoon in the white house. >> i would certainly think so i would have to check back on which specific law they are violating but if they are not enforcing our nation's immigration law sounds like they are breaking the law. i would add that their constituents don't approve of that. >> i was just with the president in the oval office and i can confirm that tomorrow will be february first deadline that president trump put into place with a statement several weeks ago continues. the president will be implementing tomorrow at 25% tariff on mexico, 25% tariff on a canada, and the 10% tariff on

china for the illegal front to know they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country which has killed tens of millions of americans. >> will: that is scheduled to take place march first. our next guest is in the briefing room today in the new media seat. >> this white house has received more than 10,000 submissions from individuals across the country who are eager to join all of you, we might have to make this room a little bit bigger to do that. who want to participate in our new media seat out of future briefing. in the seat today we have the ruthless podcast. host is josh holmes, michael duncan, comfortably smug, and the man joining us today josh ashbrook. with that i will take your questions john, please kick us off. >> thank you very much. caroline, in your first briefing the media went after this administration for deporting illegal immigrants they claimed were not criminal. the question is do you think

they are out of touch with americans demanding action on our border crisis? >> the media out of touch? >> i think that media certainly is out of touch. >> will: joining us now is john ashbrook the cohosts of the ruthless podcast. the person who asked that question sitting in that seat the new media seat. congratulations first how did you get it? there is 10,000 applications and ruthless one of the first to sit in on the white house press briefing. >> we were so pumped when we got the opportunity given 10,000 people applied for it, our office is very close to the white house so i think availability had something to do with that in this case. but i don't need to tell you it is a brand-new day in the media podcast are a real thing and ruthless variety program as part of that. we are so thrilled to be able to participate in the briefing today, obviously it is a very serious thing.

you have people asking questions of their governments and their government responding to those questions. karoline leavitt i have to tell you take that very seriously and she is doing a terrific job. >> will: how are you received in that room. you guys are in the media sphere, outsiders. i know you well, for anybody who is new to ruthless, they have had a lot of fun crossovers with the will cain podcast. you do it in a very casual style but also insiders when it comes to d.c. politics you know what you were talking about. how were you received in the white house briefing room? >> it was very funny and i was looking forward to it all day because i have interacted with a lot of these same reporters as a press secretary back in the day. when i walked into the room i saw a lot of my roles and a lot of smirks and that is exactly what i was hoping for. the ruthless variety program, w. the ruthless variety program, we don't take ourselves too seriously, would like to have fun and deliver information in a humourous way. when we are on with you we

always have a great time. i was hoping to have a little bit -- little bit of a lighter moments in there and i think we had it. it is incredible what this white house is doing, reaching out to new media, making sure that we the people have a voice inside of that broom and that everybody concerned about what is going on at their government have an opportunity to voice that. i'm telling you what they are doing with this is absolutely brilliant and i think it is the way of the future. >> will: why did you ask that question about immigration on the media? >> the central issue on the campaign last year. you have the media taking shots at this administration because they are deporting illegal aliens and the media is claiming they are not criminals are. they know what they are doing and they i think got dressed down by karoline leavitt today. >> will: finally, john, it is

a new day as you point out. it is a new media. there is a new presence in the white house briefing room and digital media helped launch of this show you are watching currently and you are appearing on on the fox news channel. what do you think you will be able to bring? and a digital media for that matter, be able to bring to the meeting room that has not been present with the same organizations always present? >> so many of these media organizations are full of bureaucracy. full of things that really keep the good questions and they most often content down. what we try to do at the ruthless variety program is the same thing to try to do on your show every single day. information you are hearing from your audience and bringing it to people who maybe have not heard it before. this white house briefing room head has been too long in the same people asking the same questions or not you have the opportunity to hear from somebody else. >> will: with the same presumptions and the same agenda driving the same propaganda i

think you are exactly right. an opportunity for the people, not you and media, for the people listening to you and watching me to hopefully have a much more direct connection to those in power. >> homes, smug, duncan, yourself look forward to seeing you. >> thank you. >> will: you are now looking at live at arlington, virginia. a lot of activity right now. recovery efforts for that mid air collision on wednesday. monitoring those efforts as we wait for "the five" 30:00 p.m. ntsb update. they stand for elegance. refinement. and prestige. even a little can go a long way. and though they're darker than the darkest night. they make you see everything in a new light. get 1.9% apr for up to 60 months on the purchase of select new 2025 sportage and 2025 sorento models.

fun of on the will cain show. meanwhile, marco rubio said his first overseas trip as secretary of state he is heading to panama. fox news chief international correspondent joins us. steve? >> standing here just to watch these giant ships come in from the pacific across this canal hard to imagine this was built by u.s. engineering all the way back in 1903. an interesting diplomatic situation here about to unravel. marco rubio, the new secretary of state, make it this first trip to panama, really showing the importance of this issue. who controls the panama canal. the president of panama says it is not even up for discussion so marco rubio was coming to talk about something. the president says he will not talk about this. keep in mind, marco rubio has already said there is a real danger to u.s. national security because china controls two ports on the edges of this canal. a potential threat to u.s. national security, he calls it a

potential choke point. but president trump has gone much further than that. president trump trump posting today china controls the canal and then president trump posting in all capital letters, panama will not get away with this. so some really forceful statements from the secretary of state even more forceful from the president. this is about an ally as well. reaction here in panama among the elite is one of shock. when you talk to panamanians on the ground to they say we have not seen any money from this panama canal, our government is corrupt, we won't fight and die for this canal. or real diplomatic situation about to unfold here in panama. >> will: fascinating we will be watching that. thank you so much. meanwhile back here at home illinois democrat governor reportedly blocking january 6th participants banned by... state jobs. let's ask former...

attorney and fox news contributor anti-mccoury. good to see you this afternoon. so he says that if you were part and, if were first charged and entered the court system when it comes to january 6th and you got a pardon from president trump, you will be an eligible -- in eligible for state employment in illinois? >> i don't think that will be allowed under illinois law but as far as spreadable pardons are concerned they basically block federal prosecution for the crime again and they wipe the slate clean with respect to collateral consequences in the federalist system. as far as state actors are concerned and private actors, they can't treat the conviction as a standing criminal conviction, but they are allowed to look at the underlying facts and circumstances and factor those things and for employment and other purposes of. i think this is outrageous is that the governor is the leader

of progressive democrats in illinois who have a criminal friendly policies that have actually tried to go easy on actual convicted violent criminals in chicago for example or in illinois. for example they have something called the illinois human rights statute that basically makes it easier or makes it harder for employers to take into account criminal behavior by potential employees. >> will: i have to leave it there. it seems unconstitutional to make a sweeping order over an entire class of people but we will keep an eye on that. thank you. meanwhile president trump is signing and taking questions in the oval office. let's listen in. >> president trump: and one cases they are sending massive amounts of fentanyl killing hundreds of thousands of people a year with the fentanyl and the other two cases they are making it possible for this poison to

get in. number 1 and number 2 we have big deficits and it is something we are doing. we will possibly vary substantially increase it or not we will see how it is. but it is a lot of money coming to the united states. as you know we have about a $200 million deficit with canada getting close to $200 million they have treated us very unfairly. and i say why should we be subsidizing canada? wonderful i have so many friends in canada a great place. >> is there a concession you are looking for? >> president trump: we are not looking for a concession we will just see what happens. mexico the same thing. we have $250 billion deficit and we have a lot of people coming into the border and now we have largely stopped that but we have stopped that ourselves. i think doing a fantastic job you have seen the numbers dropped to zero.

but we have suffered onto the past administration for years and years we suffered with millions of criminals come again and people from jails from all over the world that come through mexico. and they come through canada. a lot of them come through canada or outcomes throughout canada. china makes the fentanyl and gives it to mexico, puts it through different places, mostly mexico, but also a lot through canada. and so all three have not treated us very well. >> can i ask you a built with nvidia what to do talk about and do you plan more of the chips they are selling to china? >> president trump: great gentleman i met him he is the biggest in the world in terms of chips and i can't say what is going to happen. we had a meeting a good meeting but eventually we are going to put tariffs on ships. we will put tariffs on oil and gas, that will happen fairly soon. i think the 18th of february.

and we will put a lot of tariffs on steel. we already have tariffs on steel but that was relatively small compared to what it will be but we will be putting tariffs on steel and ultimately copper. copper will take a little bit longer. and it will happen pretty quickly. it will be a great boost for us. make the steal industry very strong. putting the tariffs on their and actually bide and left because there was so much money they could not do anything about it. we would have lost we would only have one steel mill in this country if i did not do that. so it was an honor to do that. i think the people that love me most of the whole world are the people who make steel. but we will be putting sometime this this month, next month, we will be putting tariffs on steel and aluminum. we will give you an announcement

as to what the exact date is but it will be a tremendous amount of money for our country, these are big numbers. in addition to that you see the power of the tariff. nobody can compete with us because we have by far the biggest piggy bank. so that will take place so we will be doing pharmaceuticals and bring our industry back we want to bring pharmaceuticals back to the country and the what you bring it back to the country is by putting up a wall. on the wall is a tariff wall. richest country in the world, we were at our richest from 1870 until 1913 that is when we had we wear a tariff country. and then we went to an income tax concept and it was okay but would have been very much better. so we will be doing pharmaceuticals and drugs, medicines, et cetera, all forms of medicine and pharmaceuticals.

we will be doing very important steel and we will also be doing chips. and things associated with chips. >> when do you plan with talking about japanese prime minister what do you plan talking about it? >> president trump: come again next week. i have great respect for japan. i like japan. was a very close friend of mine what happened to him was so sad one of the saddest days of. i look forward to it. >> mr. president, on the crash, do you have any concerns that your commentary about things you have described as common sense or your observations could in any way interfere with the thorough investigation of the crash? >> no i think they would do an investigation come out of the way i said it. put it up front. i am so tired of listening to things happen to our country and then people say we would do an investigation and three years later they come out with the

report nobody looks at. not all cases can you do that but in this case you had a helicopter that was flew to high. should not have been there. there were mistakes made as well i pointed that out also i was right about that. but still do an investigation just to check it out. >> commander in chief are you concerned about the army and the conduct of that aircraft when you were commander in chief and the use of the people who report to you. and there was an investigation? >> president trump: this was all caused by bad rules, regulations, and other things. biden, that administration. when you look at the way they ran things. in fact,, if you look at, we hired, one of the first things i told to do is get talented people in those beautiful towers you better get in there fast because we need people who are qualified. and you do that because plants

were landing very late they were circling all over the place. we have people that did not know what they were doing. >> in the air everywhere and there are other aircraft. pardon me, sir. >> president trump: we have to have the best people, the smartest people, the sharpest people, as a control tower experts and that is what they have to be. they have to be experts on they have to be very smart. we did not have our best. if you read the quotes i had yesterday at the news conference it talks about people that were psychologically injured and people that had a lot of problems were okay i can red it again if you would like me too but i don't think we have the time. >> claims in the air all around the country people relying on that safety are you suggesting there is an ongoing risk of? >> president trump: no i think there is very little risk but i think we have to make sure this never happens again. and we are taking actions that this can't happen again. that are helicopters you know

should not have been out of its owner. at the same height as the airplane. now the airplane was coming down on its track was in perfect shape coming down down and something was in its way. that happened and it won't be happening again. this was all because of weak rules and the bonds and administration. i could wait and i could give a report in two years like they always do sometimes it is obvious in this case proven to >> [inaudible question by the media] >> president trump: expect a lot of good things. i always expect good things. marco rubio as you know will make a tour of various countries in south america. he will be meeting in panama where panama has treated us very badly rather foolishly people of

the panama come out the most expensive project we ever built if you look at today's numbers. most expensive ever built we lost 38,000 men and just about all men, 38,000 to heat dome antimalaria and various other problems. tremendously, costly event. we built the panama canal 110 years ago. think about the most expensive development we ever did and really one of the wonders of the world one of the great wonders of the world to. we didn't give it to china we gave it to panama. and panama has been going down the china language assigns. they have been working like mad to try to 70% of the signs were up and they were written in chinese. and got the dealer. so we will take it back we ought to do many things but we think

it is appropriate way to get back. they have totally violated the agreement. they violated the agreement and marco rubio is going over to the gentleman that is in charge. >> do you think it is a good idea for jordan and egypt to be taking and palestinians when they rejected the idea and people who are living now... >> president trump: the people from gaza and i think egypt will take them also. somebody said they won't do it but i feel confident they will. >> inclusive of... >> president trump: we probably reduce the tariff on that probably bring it down to 10%. >> mr. president are these tariffs is, you got top of already existing tariffs? >> president trump: yes on top

of whatever may be pre-existing. was seen on tv shaking hands with president maduro is there any concerns. >> president trump: we want to do something with venezuela. i have been a very big opponent venezuelan they have treated us not so good but treated more importantly the venezuelan people but tremendous venezuelan population. 92% of the vote the venezuelan vote. now we want to see what we can do to get people back in their homelands safe. this meeting with a lot of different people. people in venezuela for the venezuelan americans. we have them right around the... area. they voted for me close to 100%.

we will see what we can do to straighten out the situation. venezuela has been very unfortunate. really surprised leading to a lot of oil by venezuela. because venezuela was just about finished. and when that happened it brought them back to life. biden went out and today by millions of barrels of oil i say what is that all about? we won't let that stupid stuff happen. we will see what happens. we don't like the way they have treated the venezuelans at all. >> warnings or messages that government residents... scrub them of dei content. government websites shut down this evening to scrub them of dei content? can you confirm whether that is accurate? >> president trump: that does not sound like a bad idea to me.

tei would have ruined our country now it is dead. scrub the website that is okay with me. again i guess probably certain people handle that certain ways but i will tell you very happy about it with the military. the real leaders and military generals are happy about that. a big group of people really starting right now. just got signed up. very happy about it. he has not been a fan of. really hurting our country badly. costing a lot of money as well. hundreds of millions of dollars of nonsense. we have our country back now. our country is back and it is a nice thing to say. never seen such love, never had anything like it. never seen such like it. thank you for bringing our country back. we were losing our country.

many decades. we will be speaking. we will be speaking. and perhaps do something that will be significant. we want to and that war that war would never have started if i was president and we want and that war. the war is a horrible war. millions of people mostly on the lines mostly soldiers and that the cities have been largely destroyed it. many of them and demolitions. a very flat land. the bullet stops when it hits a person. i think russia would probably say close to 800,000 and ukraine six or 700,000.

it is just a senseless situation so whatever i can do to stop it. we are having discussion. >> ongoing already scheduled a? >> president trump: already talking. >> you have already spoken to vladimir putin. >> president trump: i don't want to say that but we are having serious discussions. we're having very serious discussions that we are trying to get it in. >> at the department of justice and the fbi a number of high level people who are being asked to resign or being told that they are going to be fired. did you specifically request any actions at the bureau or doj with respect to those employees of? >> no but we have some people over there weaponized at a level that nobody has ever seen before. they came after a lot of people. i was not involved in it.

i would have to see what it's exactly going on after this is finished. but if they fired some people over there that is a good thing because they were very that they were very corrupt people. very badly with the weaponization. they use the justice department which in and of itself is a legal. easily did not work. >> included... tariff as well? >> president trump: you were asking me a question. i'm sure you did not here am i going to impose tariffs on the european union? you want the truthful answer or should i give you the political answer? absolutely. the european union has treated us so terribly. >> you promised americans to try to reduce costs and so many of the projects would be tariff to

when they come into the country the outgoing country is not paying the tariff. the buyers in the united states pay that and then that is passed onto consumers. how would you expect to have prices come down if you make such a broad plan for tariffs at? what do you say to the filters you want to see reduced everyday costs? >> let me just tell you i got elected for a lot of reasons number 1 was the importer, number 2 was inflation, i had almost no inflation, and yet i charged hundreds of millions of dollars of tariffs to countries. and to think of it i had almost no inflation until $600 billion of money from other countries and tariffs that don't cause inflation that cause success. some temporary short-term disruption. people will understand.

unfortunately those deals have been... by biden and his people because they did not enforce the deals. we have a deal with china which is phenomenal but nobody to enforce it in the budget administration. they let them get away with murder. that is another thing we will be bringing. buying $50 billion worth of... and they did it as soon as i left they stopped doing it because there was nobody in biden to enforce it. but the tariffs will make us very rich and very strong and we will treat other countries very fairly. but if you think about it, other countries charge us a tariffs. we judge those tariffs and it is time that changes. >> or you concerned about the market reaction around tariffs of. >> president trump: the word tariff is very misunderstood it. you heard me say i say it is one of the most beautiful words in

the dictionary. it really is. others have charged us as an example of the european union charges us 20% plus plus plus of that tax very similar. and cost us an absolute we are treated so badly. they don't take our farm products essentially, they don't take almost anything. and we have a tremendous deficit with the european union. we will be doing something very substantial. we will bring the level up to where it should be. if you look at the european union you go to nato it is largely the same group of countries until i came along. i mean we were paying almost 100% if nato only to get bad trade deals. and now it has been evened that but very unfair having to do not even that it was pretty good. did a good job they paid

$440 billion if you look at the secretary general report when he was here. he said one of the most amazing things i have ever seen is what president trump was able to do with these countries of europe. he was in charge of them but he could not get them to pay. i went over i said you got to pay. if you don't pay we want to you. very simple. we are in $300 million and they went probably for 100 million. 200 million tell the difference. and they needed more than we do. we have a notion they have been doing and so they will have to step it up a little bit. >> efforts to reduce the federal workforce whether it is offering what we call the buy out package or other effort, do you have any concerns there will be employees broadly across the federal government you might take that up? >> they are part of the many different ways that protect the public from food inspections to water safety. >> president trump: everybody is replaceable. we will get very good people to

replace them and it turns out to be more than we thought. it could be allotted could be a little we do not know. but we love to have them. remember this, we want them to go into the private sector. it is our dream to have everybody almost working at the private sector not the public sector. we have many people, very few people came to work. started more or less with covid-19 but actually before kovinic. it started with covid-19 they did not come back. and biden went away got away with murder and we had federal workforce and 4% coming into the office. it just does not work people can say it does but it just does not work. identify the group in the office it was just crazy. you don't know what they are doing. at some point if they ask them to certify that did not have two jobs where they really getting a check from us. and then where they also working a second job and a third job? on government time.

and many of them will say that they do. which is not legal but is a problem is is a problem. you know people have been trying to reduce the federal government now for 40 years, 45 years. they have not been able to do it. this is a way of doing it i think very nicely. sort of a biota as well. treating people very good. but people don't come to the office and they don't have a job a very special day we will see how that works out. nobody knows how that will turn out you might chew up to the office and may be a large number won't show up at but if they don't show up we have accomplished a very serious we have tried to reduce government. >> does mr. musk or any of those associated with your d.o.g.e effort have any access -- access as to how the money is disbursed to? >> president trump: this has

nothing to do with federal cutting. this is very separate. this is if you do not show up you do not get paid. progress has been made talking about cutting over a trillion dollars of waste. talking about waste, going to love and cherish social security. we want to anything with that other than if we can find some ways to reduce waste but the people won't be affected. it will only be more attractive and our country our country gets richer and people want social security and medicare and medicaid those people will be more secure. if biden gotten elected social security would fail. the country was going to fail. all of the other things you may get not being able to be paid to. our country is getting very strong and you see i think more progress has been made to. two or three weeks.

the last four years i think not only has more progress remains but do you progress. way back as a country. so many different ways from woke to all of the different things look at afghanistan how embarrassing that was. really started that problem with russia and ukraine it. how it was handled i was getting out. but right now right now china has... i was going to keep one of the biggest a basis in the two. they left. that was. >> neil: afghanistan i was keeping it for china because it is one hour away from making weapons. so we have a lot of great things happening. and i'm really thrilled about doug and i'm really thrilled about his friend chris legend in the oil business and he is a

legend as well. we have amazing people working with us not a wealthy man. and that up a wealthy man and that is a great talent willing to sacrifice so much willing to work for our country. watch the job that he does. but in particular or really make a country wealthy by utilizing could properly. at the same time environmentally he does it vary he is very much and where our mental is going to do a great job very painstakingly you know. but you just watch what happens. working with the department of energy his compatriot,'s friend, also considered the most talented man in the oil business his the department of energy and they worked together.

almost like a partnership it really is a partnership. watch what that does for our country it will be fantastic thing. thank you very much, everybody. >> will: that was the president of the united states from the oval office accompanied by secretary of the interior doug burgum taking questions directly from the press. he talked around a whole host of issues around 20 minutes think he has plans to speak with vladimir putin. talk about federal workforce employees being asked to return to work physically on those losing their jobs including some at doj. he addressed of the panama canal, he talked about tariffs and those go into effect tomorrow in various industries. steel, chips, he talked about tea said that tariffs are not the cause of inflation they are the cause of success. we will counted as a highlight

that we got to have president trump during our outward the last 25 minutes. this is the second week of the will cain show. i told you, we will hold me accountable as much of everybody else in the world of news. in that spirit, hear are some of the highlights and the low lights from week two of the will cain show. >> cartel members tried to bring a group of illegal immigrants across the river, the agents fired back, no one on either side was hit. did not make it across the red river. tech entrepreneur mark andreasen has called this a sputnik moment. of course, that is the historical reference to the russians are putting a man into space that launched the american space race. chip likes country music i did not qualify to like red dirt texas music. so complains about tim mcgraw but i know you would have preferred whiskey myers. >> you read my mind, brother.

you got to bring the texas country music in, get some flatland and give us something. >> i just got a phone call during our last commercial break from new defense secretary pete hegseth, turns out he is going to be joining me and just moments, the new defense secretary, says in the prompter, my friend, i think i can say my friend, pete hegseth joins us for his very first interview since being confirmed. mr. secretary, great to see you here today. >> great to see you too. host of "the will cain show," up and out, congratulations on a fantastic show, love watching it. great to see you. nothing but blue sky ahead. >> my plan was to score this very first interview with the secretary of defense, promote it, and build up to an hour long sit down. instead it was a phone call in the middle of a commercial br break. >> will: all right, it's tariffs start february 1st not march 1st, illegal immigrants cross the rio grande, not the red river, though for us north texans sometimes we consider it

an equally important border. sputnik wasn't the first man in space, putting the first man in space, but rather satellites in space. so we check us here on "the will cain show." so you will be noticed. it is time for some will of the people. turner says on x, please stop nodding your head through every interview. it's very distracting. i'll try, turner. kate collins says the last two days your voice is deeper than usual, are you okay? sounds like a cold. i have had a cold, thank you for your concern. i have gotten all of your home remedies, including whiskey and bourbon and elderberry peered i will be solid on monday. and why does your voice seemed deeper and not as travel? what goes? unfortunately this deep baritone will go eventually. i would like to keep that part having a cold. thanks for joining us as we get to the heart of what matters from the heart of america. we hope you have a great weekend. here comes "the five." ♪ ♪ >> judge jeanine
