♪ charlie: good morning, and welcome to "fox & friends" weekend. good morning, rachel, joe by -- rachel: joey's well rested. joey: i am. i got so much sleep a last night. charlie: and i really admire that tie. joey: i got this off instagram -- a. rachel: you're one of those people that falls for the instagram ads? joey: i wear a less than $400 suit sitting on this couch. they're affordable, and they fit me right. you're right. [laughter] charlie: they're rubber duckies. joey: you can't go too on brand with it. it's in honor of duck season leaving and turkey season leaving. charlie: see a what you're missing out on not wearing a tie

every day? rachel: i know. i missed out on football season. joey: and just so you know, i did pitch for charlie and i to have duck calls and to teach you how to do it, but we would violate the noise ordinance here in new york -- rachel: you know i love the robertson family. joey: i took to them yesterday. took a bunch of veterans -- rachel: here? joey: no, i talked to them on the phone. rachel: oh, they did. i thought you with got. [laughter] charlie: president trump officially imposing new tariffs on china, mexico and canada yesterday, and now these countries are, understandably, responding. rachel: that's right. china's vowing countermeasures while canada and mexico are hitting back with tariffs of their own. joey: madeleine rivera's got details on this. >> reporter: hi, good morning.

president trump sees the tariffs as a necessary tool to, in part in a truth social post, protect americans, and it is my duty as president to ensure the safety of all. the u.s. is implementing an additional 25% tariff on imports from canada and mexico, an additional 10% tariff on imports from china and a 10% tariff on canadian energy. the three countries are the united states' largest trading partner, and the tariffs could affect prices on goods from cars to toys. experts say they could make inflation worse. the tax foundation estimates it will shrink the country's outfit put by -- output by 0.4% between 2025-2034. canada, mexico and china are threatening to pursue retaliatory actions.

mexico's president, claudia sheinbaum says this, i instruct the secretary of economy to implement plan b which includes tariff and non-tariff measures in defense of mexico's interest. nothing but force, everything but reason and right. china's ministry of commerce is filing a case with the world trade organization saying in part china firmly opposes the united states' additional 10% tariff on chinese goods. china's foreign ministry is also denouncing fentanyl as, quote, america's problem saying the chinese side has cooperated with the united states and achievedded remarkable results. rachel, charlie and joey. charlie: thank you, madeleine. so this is free trade. free trade has always been sort of the hallmark of conservatives. and and this is another example that donald trump is not your regular conservative, not your regular republican. and, you know, he's got a very

good argument here about all the ways that china has been taking advantage of the country and, of course, the previous administration under joe biden did, you know, they were -- [laughter] perhaps literally in bed with china in terms of just sort of letting china walk all over us and taking over our entire hemisphere in a lot of ways. rachel: not in a lot of ways, in every way. you know, you talk about the chinese balloon. we never if do did anything about that. it's always very suspect why joe biden refused to take china on on even the most basic things. charlie: almost like he had some other motive. rachel: right. yes, exactly. [laughter] but in latin america, you know, one of the things that donald trump cites is the fentanyl problem. that's a china thing as a well. china and mexico with the permission of the mexican government which has done nothing to top this either, and

that is why donald trump is saying that. by the way, in terms of who will get hurt more in this, like, chicken game we're playing, just to give you context, the state of texas' gdp is $2.4 trillion. all of canada's gdp is 2.1. in that gives you some context. you can find similar numbers for mexico. i'm not saying we should have antagonistic relationships with our neighbors, but when our neighbors are not playing nice to with us, donald trump is saying i'm going to stand on the side of america. and at this point, joey, we cotill have the economic upper hand in this, and donald trump knows it and he's wielding it. joey: yeah. i think it comes down to he campaigned on this. he made this promise early in the campaign. he still won the presidency through the electoral college and the popular vote, so this isn't surprising americans at all. if you're going to make gas a little bit more expensive to try to keep us safe as opposed to, i don't know, green new deal, i'll

give you the opportunity to show it. i don't know how these tariffs are going to work out because i don't know what exactly he's asking of these countries. i know generally what it is, it's to the stop the flow of fentanyl and bad people across the border, but i don't know how he wants them to do i it or what they've offered. that's the negotiation between president trump and those the administrations. but just to give you aned idea how they're responding, china comes out and says fentanyl is america's problem, it's not their problem. they've done their part. that's kind of laughable. but mexico's president says if they really cared, they would attack the drug dealers on the streets. we've seen what a war on drugs results in, but the other part of me says she is a little bit right because we don't lock anybody up anymore. we don't put people in jail for petty crimes. maybe there is manager to that, but i don't think that's the answer. ultimately, these countries are going to have to prove they're serious about helping with this issue, and i don't know what that looks like. we haven't seen it but, you

know, if he's still imposing the tariffs -- rachel: well, i think it's part of a greater plan. charlie, you talked about china interfering in this hemisphere. and one of the things donald trump has done is on day one, basically even before day one, by making marco rubio secretary of state, somebody who absolutely cares about the western hemisphere and deeply understands how important it is that our neighborhood be under our control versus china's. and so now you're seeing marco rubio taking his first trip to panama where on day one donald trump says, hey, we mow what you're doing, panama, with the canal. we know that that you are allowing china to control it, and that's a national security and economic threat to america, and we're not going to tolerate it. and that's why marco rubio right now is going the panama to double down on donald trump's message there. here is a quote9 from marco rubio to the "wall street journal."

he says for many reasons, u.s. foreign policy has long focused on other regions while overlooking our own. we've let problems fester, missed opportunities and neglected partners. that ends now. diplomacy's role in this effort is central. we need to work with countries of origin to halt and deter further migrant nows and accept the return of their citizen residents in the u.s. legally. charlie, i think this is such a fundamental shift. the state department under barack obama, under joe biden was -- their relationship with latin america was we're exporting abortion, climate change and lgbtq rights. that's what the state department was involved in. donald trump saying, no, we're in the business now of business, american commerce, and securing the western hemisphere to america's interests. charlie: and, of course, left the door wide open for china to to come into those countries and take over in very -- and, by the way, long-term, damaging ways

for those countries. because once you get indebted the china, you're kind of doomed. but donald trump looked at all of it, and i think tariffs and the panama canal, they're very similar tools in that trump looks at this and says, wait a minute, we're the greatest, biggest, most powerful economy on the planet, i'm going to use that to my advantage. i'm going to use that to get things for my country. so he's doing that with the panama canal because we send so much material through there, and he's doing it with tariffs because he knows canada, mexico or china is going to go to their knees -- joey: it is a very anti-establishment idea with. all of these tools exist in the same toolbox. years past would say, you know, we're going to the fight a proxy war against china here, but we're not going to touch our economic relations because there's an industry that might get mad about that. to say, no, hey, all these eggs are in the same basket, ask if whatever lever i have to pull the get this right, that is one of the things that's different about donald trump, and it shows

he has this anti-establishment ethos that probably is what rocks capitol hill so bad. because some of those folks on the hill have that lobbying in the back of their pocket for this part, for agriculture -- rachel: a lot of pressure. well, steven mosher, as you guys know, has been a longtime china hawk. he wrote an op-ed, and he says from panama to greenland, all of trump's problems lead to china. he goes on to say the last administration if turned a blind eye to these national security risks, joe biden was literally asleep on a delaware beach for most of his presidency or perhaps he really was the manchurian candidate all along. whatever the case, china has had four long years to run riot over the world. it is the impossible to overstate how disruntive china has been -- disruptive china has been over the past four years. china today is the chaos agent lurking behind every major world conflict. so well put.

in latin america they just, as you said, charlie, it's really easy to buy out, you know, government officials. so they basically bought countries. they bought the mines, the ports, all kinds of infrastructure. and it's generational wealth for the politicians -- charlie: sure. rachel: -- who receive that kind of kickback from china. they sell out their country, and donald trump -- charlie: you know, one of the wonderful things about it also with trump completely being willing to think outside the box and do something completely anti-establishment, it reeves dem -- it leaves democrats on the side, and and they're not able to talk about any of it. they're completely lost in the wilderness. it used to be, you would think that that a guy like bernie sanders or elizabeth warren would with like -- they claim to be anti-establishment themselves until rfk comes before them, and then they freak out and lose their minds if especially when r, the if k points out they get all this money from big pharma. but democrats are completely

lost right now. they had their, they had their annual meeting in which they selected a new dnc chair, ken martin. what i thought was interesting about this is they went with ken martin over the strenuous objections of the leaders in tht they have left right now like chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries. they -- and out just underscores how completely lost -- rachel: what do we know about this guy? charlie: he's -- [laughter] another white guy, kind of interesting. after shoving dei down our throats and telling us we're all racist, it turns out that the answer is yet again another white guy, unimpressive white guy from minnesota who has absolutely no original ideas. he is -- they're not changing, they're not getting -- learning any lessons that all the rest of us is have learned from the last election. they're just doubling down with the same old, tired, worn out

ideas. rachel: maybe he's a great fundraiser. i don't know much about him. but i do know that he blamed racism and misogyny -- [laughter] joey: yeah. rachel: -- for why they lost. charlie: they're clinging to that. the white guy's -- rachel: yeah. listen to this. >> how many of you believe that racism and misogyny played a role in vice president harris' defeat? [laughter] okay. so that's good. you all pass. [laughter] rachel: that's like having a republican panel say who wants to make america great again? [laughter] joey: you know, i hated this in the debate for the last two cycles. raise your hand if you vow to do this. i'd rather hear your original idea. it just shows you, they're not abandoning the idea that the best move they have to pull

young and, i guess, vulnerable voters away if from the middle or trump is this division, my song nicker racism, i guess -- misogyny, racism. whatever kind of ism they can throw in there to say they just hate you because of your identity when republicans are largely saying, we could care less about your identity. i don't think they understand the difference between those two narratives yet. but i don't -- i'd say all this with a moment of caution. no one i could have predicted donald trump coming out of, i guess really 2012. no one cuff predicted -- everyone thought jeb bush was the leader of the republican party going into 2015, so as long in the woods and wilderness as they may seem, it only takes one semi-brilliant person, look at obama, donald trump, to rally the troops when they're lost and a desperate. you can't just sit here and say they're lost in the woods and republicans can rest on their laurels for the next four years.

rachel: not. but i'm not sure this guy's going to lead them out -- joey: no. rachel: but we'll see. maybe he'll raise a ton of money, and they'll be in a better 1309. although money didn't save them last time. charlie: exactly. one of the wonderful things ab donald trump is he has completely undone the magic of money in politics by beating -- she outspent him by 3x -- rachel: oh, i know. so true. by the way, it's, like, 20 the times as much in the hispanic community. charlie: yeah. joey: the commercials are that bad, it doesn't matter how much money you spend on them, i guess. charlie: okay. so the ntsb is continuing their investigation into the philadelphia medical jet cash that killed 7, hurting at least 19 others. rachel: our own nate foy is live in philadelphia with the late. nate, you're till there. i know a lot has transpired. tell us what the latest is. >> reporter: hey, rachel, good morning. good morning, guys. as you can see behind me, the

investigation continues. it is still active today. we did get new numbers yesterday. tragically, we learned of an additional death, so now we know 7 people were killed in that terrible jet crash on friday night. we also know 19 more are injured, and officials warn those numbers are evolving, is that's manager to keep an eye out for something -- something to keep an eye out for. federal investigators are trying to figure out what went wrong onboard that jet that made it go down in under a minute. and the cockpit voice recorder will play a crucial role in determining that. listen to this. >> the debris is scattered. it is very dangerous. over the next soaferl days -- several days possibly extending into weeks, we will be collecting that debris, loading it onto a truck and moving it to a secure location so that we can begin to do our evaluation. i do want to mention we are still looking for the cockpit if voice recorder.

>> reporter: yeah. and that voice recorder will hoe pilot communications as the plane went down which happened quickly. the learjet 55 took off from northeast philadelphia airport, it cracked right near the roosevelt -- crashed right near the roosevelt mall after heads than one minute of air time. the explosion resulted in five home fires and destroyed several cars. at least one person in their car was killed in addition to the six people onboard the medical jet. now, you see an oxygen tank from that jet that was found about a quarter mile from the if impact site. while shriner's children's hospital is telling us more about the little girl they treated for a rife-threatening -- life-threatening illness. she was on her way home to mexico when the plane went down. a spokesperson says, quote, she'd been with us four months and formed some deep bonds with a lot of people here. it's a loss that's being deeply felt by everyone who knew her. i was there at the hospital today, and it was the very clear how deeply everyone felt about

her. what happened was unthinkable. very sadly, we also learned that the hospital staff through that -- threw that girl a party, a farewell party, right before she got on that jet to go home to tijuana which, of course, she never ended up making it hope. -- home. send it back to you. rachel: terrible, nate. thank you. charlie: turning to your headlines, captain rebecca low bach has been identified as the aviation officer in the army since to 20199 and had 500 hours of flying time in a black hawk. the army says the soldiers were on a training mission on wednesday when the helicopter collide ared with an american airlines regional jet. an employee at the chicago o'hare airport is in the hospital this morning after the wing of an airplane struck the tug car that he was driving on the car mack. the faa says the air wisconsin

flight was on its way to the gate when it collided with the united airlines tug car. the plane's wing striking the car, flipping it over and pinning the driver underneath. the driver was taken to the hospital in critical condition but is expected to survive. federal employees are now no longer allowed to use pronouns in their government e-mail signatures. a memo sent by the trump administration over the weekend included instruction thes for how employees should edit their signatures. we've already seen this work former biden officials like former transportation secretary pete buttigieg remove he/him december egg nations from if his social media -- designations. rachel: that's not all he removed. this is an incomplete headline. he removed chas. [laughter] there was a picture of them holding hands -- charlie: and replaced him with a

picture of rocks. joey: i will not be removing "hee haw" -- [laughter] rachel: that was one of the most obnoxious trends. isn't it nice to see it go away? charlie: it was so insufferable. rachel: you know it's happening if pete buttigieg is doing it. charlie: the quickest way to the find your resumé in the trash the can, put your pronounce on it. joey: one thing that does not need a pronoun, that's mr. phil, punxsutawney phil, and we've got janice dean live right now. janice: hi, my friends! we are in punxsutawney for groundhog day. it's so exciting, one of my favorite holidays of the year. we just saw the golf, he says they might make it a national holiday -- governor. pamela here made my hat. pam, how are you? >> doing great this year. groundhog day. janice: and happy birthday. >> thank you. 711 years old.

joey: not even two weeks in office a, president trump scoring another victory for the u.s., this one existence isis. he ordered a military airstrike against the terrorist group's leaders in small a la saying in part, these killers who we found hiding in kays threatened the united states and our allies. the strikes destroyed the kays they live in and killed many record its without in any way harming civilians. foreign policy expert rebeccah heinrichs joins us now. good morning, rebeccah. >> good morning. joey: i'm reading, there are people arguing this was more of a show of force than a strategic movement do you have any insight into how important this airstrike was? >> well, i think it's important because president trump decided to announce it. he announced that the united states did this, and then he also had a threat for anybody if else who would threaten the united states. of we will find you, he said, and we will kill you. just remember, joey with, during 2017 when president trump came

into office the first time, he designated down the authorities to the military commanders the take out isis. he increased aerial bombings and uses of special forces, and the effect of that was the successful destruction of the isis caliphate within about a year, 95% of it. so during the biden administration, you've seen isis grow back, and so now the trump administration has to come in, reestablish itself, get back in the game and to say the united states is not going to tolerate, and we're going to go back to destroying terrorists that threaten americans. joey: i understand that isis as an entity has fingers all over the world, the region, africa and the middle easts, and they don't always get alone long. but it was isis-k, we're told, that orchestrated the attacks in 2021 at the air base. and then we have an isis group here in somalia, also other groups in somalia. we also have an isis-inspired attack in new orleans. is this kind of messaging that president trump, hey, i destroyed the caliphate my first time around, i'm willing to

destroy all of you this time around? is this being his first military action, is that because of what happened in new orleans and what happened at the air base? >> i think it's are related, joey, because the way it works is isis grows. as you said, you're always going to have terrorists, islamic terrorists, around the world. but what the united states can do is destroy the the caliphate where they actually have, essentially, basing, with where they grow, where they train and where they can recruit because then they're really -- they get stronger, and then they have more successful recruiting through the internet because they show, you know, would-be radicals that they're strong. and so the united states needs to destroy those physical caliphates where they exist. you mentioned in africa. you know, or under the biden administration if niger and chad were two countries where the united states was conducting counterterrorism operation, and we were kicked out under the biden administration, so it's harder to do. now i think it is the important for the trump administration to say we're going to destroy you where you are, and you're not going to have successful recrewing because we want to

secure america's -- recruiting because we want to secure america's borders. joey: yeah. i won't lose a minute's sleep over some terrorists getting killed. i kind of like it. rebeccah heinrichs, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. joey: angel moms blasting celebrities like selena gomez for their tears over i.c.e. raids. but not for their family. >> i just feel like it's a ruse to deceive people and to garner sympathy for lawlessness. for more than a decade farxiga has been trusted again and again, and again. ♪far-xi-ga♪ ♪far-xi-ga♪ ask your doctor about farxiga. we handcraft every stearns & foster® using the finest materials, like indulgent memory foam, and ultra-conforming inner springs, for a beautiful mattress, and indescribable comfort. save up to $800 on select adjustable

situation. >> yes, correct. charlie: and, obviously, the students were -- you know, the most shocking part of all of this is the fact that normal adults aren't standing up for these, i mean, they're teenagers. >> yes. the people around them were not supporting them, the administration, the athletic department, the head coach were all protecting the male and pretty much gaslighting everybody involved. it was very, you know, tough situation for all of them, very traumatic what they had to go through, and it's unfortunate. they had four years to play collegiate volleyball and, you know, their last two years were affected so much in not being able to play some of tear matches. their matches. charlie: san jose state says they're unable to comment if on the situation, but, you know, it hooks like the trump

administration has decided to actually reverse biden's twisting of the title ix program to basically return common sense by enforcing the idea that title ix9 applies to actual women. ten in the right direction, i think. >> yes, the it's a great first step in the right direction. now we need to continue it, and it has to become the laws change and the ncaa have got to make those changes necessary so that we save women's sports and if that we continue to, you know, have women's sports. charlie: well, i think that the only reason there has been a return of some common sense is because of people like you standing up and saying this is insane, and it can't go on. so we thank you very much for that, melissa, and thank you for joining us. >> yes, thank you. charlie: great to see you. early spring? late winter? punxsutawney phil will soon emerge with his prediction.

[laughter] you're not here for vegan cake.

>> it's a bit of a sarcastic poster. this is an american tradition, ask we're here to see phil, so -- janice: exactly. peta, we love that you want to protect animals, but bill is like a king. -- phil is treated like a king 365 days of the year. so we can't get rid of this tradition. and what are you expecting today from phil? >> look, he's right 60% of the time, every time, expect some spring today. janice: spring? what do you think? >> spring. >> better be spring. janice: i don't know. i'm the forecaster. we've had a really cold january. i'm thinking it's going to be six more weeks of winter. i'm sorry -- i know. boo. anyway, we've got 50,000 people here at globler's knob -- gobbler's knob, a own the of 5,000. it's an amazing day. if you've never done this before, you have to. maybe next year we can take "fox & friends" on the road.
