should get taxed a little bit more. at least that's position. now the democratic party adopted this completely different model that deviates from everything they ever did. they are losing people like you, gary, final thoughts, 20 seconds. >> working people aren't voting for democrats anymore. that's the really important thing. the democratic party is now becoming the party of identity politics elites and not the party of working people. and that's the problem. >> carley: you say if they continue to go down this road, they will lose more elections. maybe they should listen to you, gary. thank you so much for joining us. we very much appreciate you. >> thank you for having me. >> todd: a pleasure. car ca car todd, back in action another monday. going to be another busy week. >> todd: they all are. "fox & friends" begins. >> carley: right now. ♪ >> steve: and our busy week starts right now.

6:00 on this couch here in new york city. we currently have 30 degrees. it has dried, snowed overnight. welcome to the wednesday -- rather the monday february 3rd edition of "fox & friends." secretaries kristi noem and pete hegseth as you can see taking first trips to southern border since being sworn in. >> so now these national guard members that are down here they have full authority. >> steve: lawrence is right there live. good morning, lawrence. where he jest met with the secretary of homeland security and secretary of defense later today. >> ainsley: president trump is set to speak with leaders of canada and mexico as tariffs are set to go into effect tomorrow. we will tell you what this means for you and your family. >> brian: i could barely see lawrence with the calm fallujah on. it's a jam-packed monday. kristi noem joins us as you just saw interior secretary doug burgum first interview since becoming secretary. mike johnson is still the is

speaker and new england patriots owner the ceo robert kraft talking about his new coach and the super bowl only on fox. "fox & friends" starts right now. remember, mornings are better with friends, gradually get dressed. ♪ >> ainsley: we are starting with a fox news alert. pete hegseth is making first trip as secretary of defense this morning traveling to fort bliss, texas to visit our southern border. secretary hegseth saying in a post on x, quote: potus wants 100 percent operational control of the border and we will deliver. border security is national security. >> steve: absolutely right. we have already seen results from the trump administration's deportation push over just two weeks. nearly 8,000 arrests and over 5500 detainers have been lodged by ice during just his first two weeks in office. remember, he was sworn in two weeks ago today. >> brian: secretary hegseth is set to be ser service ising joit

task force north at fort bliss and providing support to the border mission so far. we know this overall and it stunned me with maria. he said, did tom homan, border crossings are down 93%. oh my goodness in two weeks. >> steve: i'm surprised 7% are still trying to get across because it's pretty much an iron curtain. let's check in with lawrence, normally right here right now he is down in el paso before he meets with pete hegseth, who is going to make his first trip to the southern border. and do you know what else, l.j. it makes sense that the department of defense is involved in our southern border because that's the first line of defense. >> lawrence: let me tell you, it's incredible. i have been covering the border for years as you know. i have never seen operational control this way. essentially, we are reporting on the deterrent. because you don't see a lot of runners. you don't see a lot of people trying to surrender theirself to

border patrol because they can't get across the border. there is manpower like i have never seen. there is spirit like i have never seen. yesterday i had the opportunity to talk to the secretary of homeland security, this is what she said. watch. >> today you also deputized the texas national guard as well, right? >> yes. >> lawrence: why is that important? >> now these national guard members that are down here have full authority. before they felt like they were facilitating the illegal immigration because they didn't have the authority to arrest and detain those that were breaking the law. now they are fully deputized. they can go out there and get the bad guys and make sure that they are prosecuting them. >> brian: so, lawrence. go ahead. >> lawrence: put it on perspective can you see it on their faces. the border patrol are different. they are happy. you are seeing smiles, hugs. people can actually do their jobs again. >> brian: groundswell of support, people are asking me why aren't you at the border, brian? why can't you go? i see the opening shot. it's lawrence on a horse.

and that is -- >> ainsley: explains it all. >> brian: no other explanation needed. >> steve: brian, oven on a horse the horse never moved. [laughter] >> ainsley: lawrence, on a serious note, the texas national guard will now have authority to arrest illegal immigrants that didn't have that authority before? >> that's exactly right. because of the federal statute. they really don't have the authority to do that. that changed. something testimony that of us who have been down here have been calling for because they would always say greg abbott. you have these people down here. they can't really do much because of the laws on the books. it's a simple fix. and secretary nome, the president did it. they just deputized them as federal agents. we have seen this a lot in federal task force as well where they will deputize locals. they are doing the same thing for these national guards as well, guys. >> steve: goes to show you how it's the whole of government. it's not just the feds, particularly where you are, down

in texas. it's texas well. so, rather than, you know, us hearing for the last four years, greg abbott, he can't even touch them because the federal authorities control the border now the state is helping the feds. might not be the same case in arizona or new mexico, but it is in texas. >> lawrence: so, let me give some color to this. some of this stuff has just been overcomplicated. all right. let me give you an example. yesterday, we were on the horses with the mounted unit. one of the agents said, listen, some of our equipment is outdated. and i'm wondering, secretary, if you can get this approved. she goes i'll sign the invoice when we get back to the office. let's just get this going. this doesn't have to go through all this bureaucracy. if you guys need things to keep the american public safe, let's just get it going. just the look on these guys' faces like you can do that? we haven't been using the tools that we have authorized to us.

and this administration, i know there has been some bumps in the road, but, they are simplifying the process of getting things done. >> brian: right. i will tell you what. there are so many different facets to it. one of which is the crackdown of illegals in our midst. criminals first. that has upset sanctuary cities and people for example in los angeles. you would think they would have enough on their plate. 9:00 in the morning a social media post went out go out and protest and shut down streets and that's what happened. let's fast-forward to los angeles yesterday. listen. watch. [chanting] ice are not welcome here. >> ainsley: a lot of people were happy to know that donald trump in a matter of 10 days has almost arrested 8,000 illegal immigrants. you see there are pockets of our country that are not for it. this happened in l.a. they shut down the 101 freeway.

police described it as non-permitted demonstration and disperse order was issued at 6:00 p.m. to get those people off the streets and freeway. people were holding up mexican signs. >> brian: the way to it win over america is not to waive 'mexican flags. >> steve: close up in addition soostled and mexico as well. signs that said maga stands for mexicans always get across. also don't bite the hand that feeds you. think were worried it could spiral into violence that did not happen. clearly an anti-ice message. trying to make it very clear there may be a new sheriff in town. we don't like the sheriff. >> brian: lawrence, couldn't that have cleared that out? a non-permitted demonstration in the streets got to be opened up.

they could have have cleared that out. i bet you there was a stand down order. >> ainsley: they are already overwhelmed in that area. >> reporting on the ground especially from some of my sources the lapd they were given the order to arrest. and then suddenly they were called off. i don't know what happened there you cannot obstruct public traffic. you just can't do that and then to your point, brian, if everything is going so well in the countries that you hold the flags there, why don't you go back to those countries? i mean it just doesn't make any sense to me. also, when you look at what ice is doing. what doj is doing. they don't have the resources for the second phase yet. these guys are burnt out already. just going after criminals. but, it's because of some of the media reporting, some of the fear-mongering going out there that they are saying things that are simply not true about. >> brian: what do you mean? >> lawrence: ice and the rest of the department of justice is

doing? >> brian: what are you saying by that? >> lawrence: they are saying they are going after american citizens for ones. number two going after abuelas and children. they don't have the resources to do it. you are sending 20 to 30 guys in a stack to go after criminal aliens right now. people who have committed crimes. they don't have the resources to go door to door to go to churches and all that there is just not enough manpower right now to accomplish that. number two there is a difference between an american citizen being detained and questioned and getting information and then being put in a jail and deported to another country. that happens all the time when you see traffic stops. where they will detain -- officers will get more information. once they check everything out, they release people. but, of course, the media is not adding that context. >> steve: right. the media in los angeles is showing exactly what we're showing right here. and keep in mind. the reason they did not arrest -- there weren't massive arrests after that or during that was it's a sanctuary city.

it's a sanctuary state. karen bass doesn't want to arrest those people. gavin newsom doesn't want to arrest those people. and they like the idea, the messaging, hey, look, you might see these raids all across the country, but there are people who are resisting donald trump and that was the message. >> ainsley: what is the morale on the border? what are the border patrol agents saying about two weeks into the presidency? >> they are happy. let me tell you something, they were grateful that the secretary of homeland came to the border it wasn't really about that. it wasn't really politicians coming to the border. it's the fact that they can do their job again. they can go after the bad guys. go out on chases. take the drugs off the street. remember, these same guys have been processing. you have the whip gate situation with the haitian migrants that was a total fraud. and they they removed the mounted unit from the border.

these training cut off runners as well as the drug cartels to get product across the border there has been a lot of policy and demonization of these men and women. the morale boost that they can finally do their job and be appreciated. >> brian: we appreciate you, lawrence. we are going to check in with you shortly. just so you know, it's not just in texas. the mayor of yuma came out. obviously run by a democratic governor yuma on the frontline of these issues. trump is already. removed on the first day of the new biden administration. within months i proclaimed another local state of emergency. i had meetings dhs under biden and malliotakis no. change to the policies. i was simply told the border was secure and they finally did make some changes too little too late since trump was elected a second term nearing the low first presidency the different is action. that's in arizona.

you turned arizona back to trump for a reason and is he producing. >> ainsley: ric grenell brought home the six venezuelans from venezuela. they're agreeing to take back their illegal immigrants. >> brian: and paying for the flights. >> steve: ultimately though what it comes down to is the border and enforcing it is bipartisan. democrats like it. republicans like it. independents like it. we like having a border that is secure. and that's why lawrence is down there. pete hegseth is going to be down there. stand by, lawrence. we are going to get back to you in a little bit. meantime turn to president trump's tariffs on mexico, canada and china. which are set to take effect at midnight tonight. tomorrow will be tariff tuesday. but our north american allies are now vowing to strike back. >> ainsley: fox business reporter lydia hu has more for us. hey, lydia. >> good morning there, guys. president trump is making good on a campaign promise imposing tariffs that start tomorrow on our biggest trading partners. imports from canada and mexico

will face a 25% tariff with canadian energy facing a 10% levy and imports from china will have a 10% tariff. some warn that these tariffs could mean higher prices for consumers. but president trump said yesterday it will be worth it. listen. >> may have short-term some little pain. people understand that. but long term, the united states has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world. we have deficits with almost every country. not every count country but alm. we're going to change it. >> meanwhile canadian officials are calling the tariffs economic warfare. >> action is utter madness. betrayal of america's closest friend of your ally, your neighbor, your best partner in the whole world. it is an act of economic

warfare. >> the united states imports more than $1.4 trillion worth of goods and services from these three countries, that's according to the congressional research service. these products include every day essentials like crude oil, cars and auto parts from canada. we import trucks, computers and electronic press from mexico and cell phones, toys and clothing from china. retaliation is promised. canadian prime minister justin trudeau already announced a 25% tariff on roughly $170 billion worth of u.s. goods. that's ranging from cosmetics to beverages, lumbers and plastics. the mexican president claudia sheinbaum also set to announce tariffs today. we are standing by for that information. finally china is pledging to initiate a case against the united states with the world trade organization. all of these counter measures would come despite trump's promise to increase tariffs further if retaliation is taken

against american goods. we will see how all of that unfolds. >> steve: lydia, starting to see how it's unfolding around the world when you look at the global markets, taiwan is down 3.5%. tokyo and seoul down 2.5%. oil prices are rising up 2 bucks a barrel vix which is the fear index of wall street is up 0%. investors don't know what to make of this tariff business. >> that really seems to be the case. injecting a lot of uncertainty into the markets. and the markets never like that type of uncertainty. i think it's also important to remind everyone why president trump is doing this. this is about the flow of illegal migration and drugs. and he is committed to stop those two scourges on the united states saying these tariff also remain in place until our borders are secure and illegal drugs stop flowing into the country. >> ainsley: lydia, what specifically does he want from these countries? he wants them to enforce the borders, close the borders, and

when they do that he will lift the tariffs? >> that's what the white house has indicated, ainsley, he wants zero deaths from fentanyl. this past week i spent time up at the canadian border in the proivedz of alberta to see what they're doing. they insist the border on their north is closed and excuse me mexico we understand is also working with the trump administration. we will see how soon they can address these issues. >> brian: what was interesting over the weekend washington state congresswoman was on another channel. and they say tariffs bad? when it comes to lumber, we have enough lumber. we would love to start using our forests to be the lumber supplier for america but there is too many restrictions on it. if you couple the lumber tariffs with allowing us to use our own forests, i'm okay with it. and it made me think in the big picture. is this a reconfiguring to try to get america to use american products here in america from

oil to gas to lumber that we have to our automobiles and wouldn't that build up the middle class? you can't say that because the reason why we have special -- a special dispensation to do this 1977 law that said in case of emergency you could put on tariffs. the emergency is fentanyl. and it's real. but essentially underneath is the bigger picture to start making stuff here again. li thinkthat is spot on, brian. look at all the restrictions take oil and energy production, for example, our north america free trade agreement has been in existence for decades. what's that allowed the united states to do to rely on production from other places like canada. what we think about when we reconfigure how free trade could flow, maybe this could be a return to producing more in the united states and ensuring our energy dominance. >> steve: right. lydia, final question, i think when donald trump was talking about tariffs during the

campaign, investors and just people in general, people up on capitol hill, thought essentially that he is talking about tariffs to negotiate something to get from both the countries. well, his trade people aren't even in place. the commerce secretary hadn't been confirmed yet. so he is doing this before that. and the worry is that along the way americans could get hurt. is he going to put a 10% tariff on canadian crude oil. two weeks ago he declared energy emergency. looks like the cost of driving the car is going to go a little up. but i'm really worried about america's farmers as a farmer future farmer of america president in clay county, kansas, i can tell you that the biggest exports are to mexico and china from america's farmers. >> right it. reminds me of a recent headline i saw in the "new york times" where some trump campaign or excuse me trump administration advisers were reportedly

encouraging the president to enforce and bring about tariffs first and negotiate later. one thing i'm looking for, steve, is to see how much we can move away from maybe these heightened levels of 25% discourage retaliatory measures being taken against our american farmers. one thing i would draw our attention to was the fact that when president trump was first talking about the tariffs. he was calling for 640% tariff on chinese imports what do we get? 10. he is keeping the american consumer in mind. >> brian: joe biden left all the tariffs in place. if they were so bad why did he leave them there. lydia, we will check in again. justice trudeau is going to meet with the president today, the lame duck prime minister. but, there's a huge ceo, the ceo of shop aphi who has a different take on who is to blame when it comes to these tariffs trump

believes canada has not held its side of the bargain. set terms to prove we will work together. get the borders under control and crack down on fentanyl. these are things that every canadian wants its government to do, too. these are not crazy demands. even if they came from unpopular source, leadership is about doing what's right, not what is popular. and hitting back will not lead to anything good. america will shrug it off and canada will decline. >> brian: canadian exports to the u.s. is 18% of the canadian g.d.p. u.s. exports to canada is 1% of the u.s. g.d.p. he understands leverage. we have the leverage. we'll see what happens after this meeting today. >> ainsley: when it comes to oil, canada provides 4.3 millioe united states per day. and we consume 20 million barrels per day. >> steve: you know, the president, just two weeks. in he has a very ambitious agenda, among other things he wants to extend the 2017 tax cuts. he wants no tax on tips no, tax

on social security. no tax on overtime. ultimately, for republicans to get on board they have got find money somewhere to pay for all that stuff. the president taking a look at all these countries i think they owe us some money and that will help americans. let's see what happens. >> brian: speaker johnson on in a couple hours to tell us where those negotiations are. >> ainsley: donald trump said we subsidize canada by 200 billion a year and he says for what? >> steve: here's the problem. it's super bowl week. you got people who need avocados. 80% of our after caitos come from mexico. the question is if they have already got them in the stores they won't have to jack up the prices. currently america's most popular interior modello. they are suggesting it could go up 5%. 5%? >> ainsley: choose an american

brand. >> brian: show guts bud light. >> steve: that's why it became number one bud light. >> carley: back on board with bud light, right, i do guys? >> steve: no, no. coors light. >> carley: fox news to get. to say democrats on the house judiciary committee are pushing james mchenry volume two of special counsel jack smith's report on trump's classified documents case. trump's form are co-defendants are no longer facing prosecution after the doj dropped the case a last week and house democrats say reports should be made public. volume one of the report was released last month and focused on his investigation into trump for the 2020 election case. vice president v nd voons and other trump officials are visiting east palestine, ohio today marking the second anniversary of tragic train derailment. the then freshman senator j.d. vance arrived at the scene and subsequent controlled burn of toxic chemicals in february of

>> this morning, lawyers for blake lively and justin ball don't will meet in a manhattan federal encouragement first hearing in the highly publicized it ends with us case. channelly painter is here with all the details. >> good morning, chanley. we don't expect lively, her husband or baldoni to be in court this pre-trial conference today it. comes as lively is requesting a gag order after she filed suit against her "this is us" co-star and movie in december accusing him of sexual harassment and for allegedly spearheading a smear campaign against her in retaliation baldoni denies the claims and counter suing lively and her husband for extortion and defamation. over the weekend baldoni launched this website dedicated to defending himself linking his court documents and 160-plus page timeline which includes never before seen texts like this one where lively allegedly

declined to meet with an incident macy coordinator before filming telling baldoni, i feel good i can meet her when we start. thank you, though. includes cordle texts with lively's husband including this one from reynolds saying in part, quote: i'm excited for blake to crack open her creative piggy bank with someone as dynamic as you and, quote, i happen to adore you, justin. well, ball don'ty's website is also revealing this alleged statement, baldoni claims was drafted by lively and reynolds urging him to accept blame amid backlash surrounding lively during the film's press tour reading this in part, quote: it ends with using you troubled production which we take full accountability for. we are very sorry to everyone we caused upset to privately and publicly. and today ainsley is just the start of many court dates ahead of the march 2026 trial in this case. >> ainsley: all right. thank you so much, chanley.

let's bring in our fox news legal editor carrie urbahn, good morning. good morning. everyone is talking about this case we just watched the movie now because it was just released. everybody has been made so public. he is launching this website timelining everything. putting text messages on there. how fair with can this be in the courtroom. >> this is going to be decided in the court of public opinion. even my own friends are team justice and team blake. the reason that matters because the situation involving defamation and extortion and the like before it even goes to trial, largely is going to be on what the public thinks, which is why blake lively today is going to ask for a gag order on her co-star and former director justin baldoni. i do think what he did over the weekend was very smart. launching that website. i don't know if you have had a chance to take a look at it. it's pretty bare bones. it's pretty boring, if you want to use that word.

because it just has the amended complaint and it has this timeline. but the reason i think it was a very, very smart move is because they did not let the perfection be the enemy of the good. put everything in one spot where people can look at it and something that i used to do when i worked for a nonprofit law firm we would devote entire websites detail our client's story. here in this particular case it is going to the ba battle of who tells their story better blake or justin. going into this week justin is winning with putting out website. >> ainsley: how does this end? will there be a settle 789 or go to court which they are saying the court dated will be next march 2026. >> i don't know either side wants to go to trial. that could cover all kinds of stuff beyond what has already been revealed. there is some really interesting things that are on that website. for instance, in the complaint, justin accusing blake of colluding with the "new york times." don't forget, he is not just suing her for millions. he is suing the "new york times" for millions as well. for what he would say is

knowingly publish information. pulls back the curtain a bit, ainsley of just this interaction between hollywood stars. at one point she texted him and says i know we are both really woke and we work to work to be even more woke. let's be honest bodies matter. she just had a baby. so i think we are going to continue to see more of these things put out unless, of course, the judge slaps a gag order against justin baldoni which i think it was especially smart that he just released all of these text messages before he could even do. so. >> ainsley: i wonder what this means for acting futures will people want to work with them going forward? we saw what happened with johnny depp and his wife. the curtain was definitely pulled back in that case. we could be seeing that too. kerri, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> ainsley: you are welcome. secretaries nome and hegseth head to our border as trump's immigration crack down begins. lawrence jones is meeting witheth bo of them down in texas.

luckily we now have a great epa administrator who i think can answer those questions and fix the problems on the ground. >> steve: well, somebody else who takes it very personally that guy right there east palestine resident d.j. yokley. he has been joining us over the last two years. d.j., welcome back. >> thanks, steve. thanks for having me. >> steve: your house less than a mile from the derailment. i know you probably have a little ptsd, every time you cough you think it's, what? >> that's a great question. $600 million question is every time something happens, every time you get sick, every time you cough, every time something happens, you think that it was connected to february 3rd, 2023 date. we don't know. two years later we are still looking for answers. i came on your show two years ago looking for answers. we still don't have them. we are hoping that the vice president and his team are able to give us answers if they don't have them action when does it

become too late? >> steve: joe biden said it was a priority. what did he do for you and your family? >> absolutely nothing. we have been a political football for the last two years going back and forth and trying to make sure that our people, our communities, our families are protected with you but the truth of the matter, steve, somebody needs to pick up the football and punch it in the end zone for once and the first time in two years. we got to score. so i think what it comes down to, the people need three different things. they need healthcare. they need to be responsible and have an opportunity to have their healthcare taken care of moving forward. because that's the greatest question is what could happen down the line. not only what already happened, but what could happen over the next 20 years to our health. financial responsibility. there is people that had to leave their homes that were in there for 15 years with 2% interest rates and now they had to go in a housing market that is incredibly overpriced. they had had to not only buy a

new house away from their hometown but they had to do it at 9% interest rates. and economical impact. we lost 20 businesses which everyone knows is the heart beat of every community. what is going to be done to those businesses that either are still afloat two years later. having to move or the ones that had to close their doors? >> steve: sure, i know the state offered you a loan. too many strings attached for your business and you didn't take that exit question real quickly. we are all worried about your air and water. you would imagine the air would be safe by now. but the water you can't really see. you're sure it's safe? >> we don't know but there is people out there that have helped us, h2o out of arizona gave us all packages of water purification systems that you could put under the sink. this is a legal thing of 55,000 people are in this lawsuit. if they feel unsafe, i think

they should be able to have their water tested as well. >> steve: indeed. d.j., thank you very much. we are thinking a lot about you guys and j.d. vance is heading your way. >> thank you, steve. god bless you. >> steve: god bless you. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts with all those guests coming up after this. ♪ what i have been trying to be, baby ♪ all i have to do isou ♪ can keep saying, you mastered it! you fixed it! you nailed it! you did it! with centrum silver, clinically proven to support memory in older adults. sheldon: restoration is more than walls. it's more than paint.
