watch. thank you. fox news alert here. trump administration is pulling out all the stops to end the nation's immigration crisis. locking down the border and imposing tariffs and hole holding country's accountable for dangerous threats. bill hemmer is off today. good morning, bret. >> bret: president trump putting a laser focus on public safety and defending new tariffs against canada, mexico and china. the president calling threats posed by illegal aliens and drugs a national emergency. sending his team to assess the crisis at the source. homeland security secretary kristi noem on the ground this weekend riding along with border patrol agents at the southern border. defense secretary pete hegseth heading down today to the border highlighting military support for the mission. >> dana: tom homan saying president trump understands the problem and doing what it takes to fix it. >> crossings on the border are
7:02 am
down 93%. 93%. that's the biggest decrease than under the first trump administration. i've said it. president trump is a game changer. on top of that as far as deportation operation we're just shy of i think we have 5,000 already arrested the first week and majority of them being criminals. >> dana: molly line has more as ice cracks down. they continue across the country including where you are. >> yeah, here in boston things have been busy as well. ice arrests. the governor of new jersey practically daring the agency to come to his own home. democratic governor phil murphy declared on saturday he and the first lady are allowing someone pursuing legal status to stay at their home. the governor vague on this. the bold admission came at an i vent talking about policies of the trump administration. the governor, listen. >> tammy and i were talking
7:03 am
about -- i don't want to get into too much detail. but there is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to and we said you know what? let's have her live at our house above our garage and good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her. >> pretty interesting. the state's attorney general is among those leading a challenge to trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship as well. new england there is a collective of law enforcement, show of force from partners touting cooperation with the efforts of ice boston via a swath of postings. pick the terse posted by agencies including atf boston, and by f.b.i. boston. it comes just after ice boston announced the arrest of a man
7:04 am
from el salvador charged with raping a resident. the chelsea district court released him over the summer and there were massive protests in l.a. over the weekend. the 101 freeway was blocked for several hours until the highway patrol could get things cleared up. >> dana: thank you so much. bret. >> bret: joining us now, kayleigh mcenany, former white house press secretary. good morning. we're talking about immigration and this effort to get criminals out of the country. we're talking so far since inauguration day about 8,000, they say, illegal immigrant criminals being escorted out of the country. it's a significant number in a short time. >> it is. when you look at the daily averages that ice is putting out, 900 a day. the over the eight years of the biden administration was 300 a day. this is a three-fold increase
7:05 am
and interesting when you drill down on the types of individuals that are being apprehended and deported you have a man in text the as who was just apprehended who was a guy who had a murder potentially linked to him from last november. a handgun in his possession linked to that murder. tren de aragua, it was biden who arrested him initially in october of 2023 but given a notice to appear, released into the interior of the country. this is the story being told. i think it is smart they are putting out the images you are looking at single adult men boarding planes. putting out a list of who these individuals are. nullifying the attacks we're hearing from the left which is discussions about refugees, churches and schools. >> dana: patty morin, the mother of rachel morin was talking about what it means to her. >> there are a lot of people just here in our community that are still afraid to go out after dusk or to walk down the
7:06 am
sidewalk to check their mail. i have gotten letters and emails and just phone calls from people across the nation that are afraid and we shouldn't be afraid to live in our country and to live in our homes. so i'm really very encouraged. >> dana: to that we saw marines arriving at gitmo over the weekend with the white house saying u.s. marines have arrived at gitmo to support the department of defense in expanding migrant operations center advancing trump's mission to secure our nation. a bold move. super interested. and they're showing it. you have the visuals showing we're at the border and do this thing in gitmo and the democrats are flailing. >> ischial verb -- visuals
7:07 am
matter. this is important. guantanamo bay, pete hegseth has been clear it will be temporary. they aren't going to use some of the jail facilities there. there is precedent when you go back to the 1990s, haitian refugees were put in guantanamo bay. they were waiting asylum. not given lawyers. there is precedent. that was continued by president clinton. president biden explored using guantanamo bay in the case of the government of haiti had it collapsed it would have been a holding place. there is precedent here. i wonder if some of the headlines will pick up on the nuance. they don't tend to do that. >> bret: it's a big operation. gitmo has housed a few hundred. this will be thousands and thousands. we'll see what it looks like. i want to turn to what dana talked about on the party and new dnc chair taking over. take a listen.
7:08 am
>> we have one team. one team. the democratic party. we have one fight. we have one fight. the fight is not in here. the fight is out there, right? the fight is not in here. the fight is for our values. the fight is for working people. the fight right now is against donald trump and the billionaires who bought this country. >> bret: "new york times" quote saying we have no co-herent message. democrats struggle to oppose trump. they appear leaderless and disagree over how often to oppose mr. trump. no shared understanding of why they lost the election, never mind how they can win in the future, from "the new york times." significant as they try to find a message here. >> that "new york times" piece was fascinating. the leader list and divided line was a quote from the new dnc
7:09 am
chair ken martin. the quote was the policies that we support, the message that we have is not wrong. it is a messaging problem. if your takeaway from the election you don't stère a policy problem but a messaging problem i struggle to see how you are going to retake power when you have 13 democrats currently in seats that president trump won their districts. all 50 states shifted right. to think that fiery attacks on trump is the answer and no policy changes they may be lost in the wilderness for some time. >> dana: thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> bret: tune in this sunday for my super bowl pre-game interview with president trump. should be pretty cool. it will happen before the game in the late afternoon. we'll have a big chunk of it that airs before the super bowl and the rest will air on special
7:10 am
report on monday. a few questions i'm open for. >> dana: i'm looking forward to this interview. it will be great. biden didn't do it the last couple of years. good to see. a major shake-up at the justice department as we learn f.b.i. agents across the country have been fired, resigned, or forced to leave. more of that is expected to come. david spunt is live from the justice department with more. hi, david. >> there is a 12 question survey that 4,000 agents received in their email inboxes yesterday if and how they were involved in the prosecutions against now-president trump. former president trump at the time. on friday the acting deputy attorney general the former defense attorney for president trump put out a memo that went department wide. titled terminations regarding problems in the department. three symptomatic that must now be addressed. i don't believe the current leadership of d.o.j. can't count
7:11 am
on them to implement the president's kerb-career special agent we know firsthand that none of us are assigned to matters based on anything other than the responsibilities of the roles in which we serve. one agent not named said we took an oath to protect the american people and constitution and now being targeted for it. no better group of people to be around when time gets hard. we don't give up. a former f.b.i. agent says cleaning up washington doesn't mean tearing down the institutions that protect americans. we need reform, not a purge. let's fix what's broken without destroying what works. the president's pick to lead the f.b.i. kash patel said this. >> every f.b.i. employee will be held to the same standard and no one will be terminated for cases assigned to them. all f.b.i. employees will be protected against political ramification. >> i reached out to him through spokesperson and haven't heard back. he has not yet been confirm.
7:12 am
that is expected to happen in the next few weeks. back to you. >> dana: thank you. new details on the investigation into the deadly plane crash in philadelphia from the weekend. what crews have recovered from the crash site. >> bret: cbs agreeing to give the fcc the transcript of its kamala harris interview. remember that? amid accusations the network deceptively edited the sit-down. fcc chair brendan carr on what comes next.

7:17 am
>> dana: full investigation into the deadly d.c. plane crash underway as the elevation of that blackhawk helicopter that collided with an american airlines flit takes center stage. we spoke with the ntsb chair
7:18 am
last hour. >> it's important to understand that d.c. radar picked up that it was at 200 feet but that radar doesn't update again for a full five seconds. so what we've done is pulled additional data to get better, more granular information to understand the altitude and we'll have that later today for release. >> dana: the investigation continues and crews have now recovered and identified 55 of the 67 people who lost their lives on that tragic day. >> bret: meantime the investigation continuing into what caused a medical jet with six people on board to crash less than a minute after take-off in northeast philadelphia. the plane exploding on impact killing everyone on board. one person on the ground and injuring at least 22 others, nate foye is live in philadelphia with the latest on
7:19 am
this. good morning, nate. >> good morning. transportation secretary sean duffy is coming to philadelphia this morning to meet with local officials as the investigation advances with the discovery of the medical jet's black box found eight feet underground at the crash site behind me. you mentioned some of the numbers tragically seven people have been killed and 22 injured. five remain in the hospital, three of the five in critical condition. new video showing one man injured. he is okay but man, a scary situation here. take a look. he is eating at a diner nearby when the plane crashed. the debris hits him in the head. it knocks off his hat. a worker at the diner this man is okay and only suffered minor injuries. we see new images of the crater where the jet crashed. the ntsb is collecting all this wreckage and bringing it to a facility in delaware for further analysis. that includes both of the jet's
7:20 am
engines. the voice recorder will be brought to a lab in washington, d.c. investigators say it will be crucial to understanding pilot communications as the jet crashed one minute after take-off. the holting explosion killed at least one person in their car in addition to the six people on board the jet and set fire to five homes at firefighters rescued as many people as they could. as you saw in that video from the ntsb and over my shoulder where that jet came down was on the sidewalk outside this strip mall. there is amazey's about 100 yards away. there are a lot of places around here where things could have been even worse but this, of course, is a tragedy with at least seven people killed. send it back to you. >> bret: nate, thank you. >> dana: this news just in. cbs complying with an fcc demand to hand over the transcript of an interview with kamala harris. the october sit-down is the
7:21 am
subject of a lawsuit from president trump. he accuses the network of deceptively editing the interview. joining me is brendan carr, fcc chairman. so that everyone can have a quick reminder. this is how it went. this is what cbs put out and it had to do with netanyahu, the prime minister of israel and their dealings with the biden-harris administration. watch. >> it seems that prime minister netanyahu is not listening. >> well, bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. >> but it seems that prime minister netanyahu is not listening. >> we're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for
7:22 am
the united states to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end. >> dana: could you explain to people what might have happened here and what you are looking for when asking for a transcript? >> thanks, great to be with you. hard to believe it has been two weeks since inauguration. we have been hard at work on the fcc on the executive orders bringing down the cost of living. on this particular one, usually get out there talking about fcc investigations but leaks involving this on friday and over the weekend. i want to be clear about it. we have sought the unedited copy of the transcript in the video from this interview and part of an fcc investigation. a complaint was filed under the news distortion policy that applies to broadcasters, not cable and the policy says you can't swap answers out to make it look like somebody said something entirely different. the classic case of someone says yes to an answer and you supplies in a no answer. here it is usually very
7:23 am
difficult to make out news distortion complaints. you don't want the fcc leaning in too heavily. here cbs played the same question on two different programs and clearly the words of the answers were very different. what we've done is we're seeking out the transcript. it is due today. i expect cbs to provide it by the end of the day to see what in fact was said as part of our own news distortion investigation. >> dana: what could be the consequence from that? >> the full suite of fcc option essential on the table that apply to any broadcast licensee. no way the fcc can adjudicate this claim without getting a copy of the transcript. at the end of the biden administration my predecessors dismissed this complaint. i don't know how you can do that without seeing the actual video to see what was the real answer, was it edited, edited for clarity and length which would be fine or other reasons why theed iting took place.
7:24 am
we'll look at that and open minded as to potential consequences. >> dana: will that transcript become public so all of us can read it or because of the investigation do you hold onto it? >> i haven't made a final decision on that. transparency is very important. i think the american public ultimately deserve to see this for themselves. cbs releases other transcripts. for instance, face the nation interview with vance they released that full transcript. they haven't done it here. the fcc, their response of the video is due today and i expect them to comply. >> dana: one other topic. you have sent a letter to npr and pbs you are concerned the broadcasters are airing commercials. what is happening here and what's the next step? >> npr and pbs are different. for years i think the fcc has been absent on enforcing the
7:25 am
public interest obligation. one of the things i've said from the get go i hold broadcasters accountable to operate in the public interest. with these two in particular get taxpayer funding and not allowed to run commercials. they are non-commercial entities and some potential evidence they've been running commercials. we'll look at that and where the investigation goes from there will be led by the facts. it could expand beyond that narrow issue. >> dana: brendan carr, fcc chairman. thank you for being with us today. bret. >> bret: interesting stuff. israeli prime minister netanyahu visiting our nations capitol today and be the first foreign leader to meet with president trump since he has taken office. their plans to redraw the middle east will be talked about. plus no illegal immigration and zero americans dying from fentanyl. that's the only way president trump says china, mexico and canada can avoid new tariffs. his executive order takes effect tomorrow. what we can expect next.
7:26 am
>> we lose almost 300 people a day to overdose deaths in this country. that's a tragedy. president trump wants it to end. and that's what these tariffs began with that is about securing our border. ss is... having your coffee like you like it without an audience. ♪ [silence] the freestyle libre 3 plus sensor tracks your glucose in real time so everyone else doesn't have to, and over time it can help lower your a1c confident choices for more control of your life. this is progress. learn more and try for free at freestylelibre.us ♪

7:32 am
it looks like the mexican tariffs will be paused. now, president trump saying there might be some pain as he imposes tariffs on other folks tomorrow. scheduled to at this moment. 25% tariff on canadian goods. mexican goods this could be a pause for one month. canada seeing a reduced rate for energy with 10% tariffs. china 10% acrows the board. white house officials say the tariffs end with canada and mexico help stop illegal migration and stop americans from dying of fentanyl. >> this isn't a trade war with canada or mexico or china. this is about fentanyl. we have a mass invasion of our country, we lose almost 300 people a day to overdose deaths in this country. that's a tragedy. president trump wants it to end. >> president trump spoke with the prime minister of canada at about 9:00 a.m. eastern time this morning. plans to speak again at 3:00 p.m. eastern time. he spoke with the president of
7:33 am
mexico. democrats are pouncing on the fear that tariffs will cause higher prices. >> again, we're now in a trade war with mexico and canada. for the american people, it will now be a war between prices and their paychecks. that is the last thing we need. so if you think that this is good, if someone tries to convince you, president trump or anyone else this is good for the american family i have a bridge in brooklyn i can sell you. >> we have not seen any evidence that prices are rising yet because tariffs are scheduled to go into effect tomorrow. from the mexican president saying her tariffs will be one month from tomorrow as they work to try to avoid the tariffs all together. >> dana: you think that could happen with canada, too? >> it is likely. we're seeing the art of the deal play out now. the president had a phone call
7:34 am
at 9:00 and 3:00 at things with a counteroffer. we might be seeing the deal going on right now. >> dana: you will be busy, edward. keep in touch. >> the fact that this would be president trump's first meeting with a foreign leader since his inauguration is telling. the decisions we made in the war have already changed the face of the middle east. our decisions and the courage of our soldiers have redrawn the map. but i believe that working closely with president trump we can redraw it even further and for the better. >> bret: benjamin netanyahu on his meeting with president trump at the white house tomorrow. he is set to become the first world leader to meet with president trump during his second term in office. retired four star general jack keane joins us now. thanks for being with us this morning. axios has this. israeli officials told axios
7:35 am
that netanyahu is waiting to see where trump stands on the second phase of the deal which is supposed to lead to a permanent cease-fire and full withdrawal of israeli forces from gaza before he makes any decisions. first significant it is his first leader he is meeting with. second, a lot can happen out of this meeting. >> no doubt about it, bret. this is a very critical meeting. not surprising that they are getting together so soon in the trump administration. they have spoken a number of times on these issues but there is nothing like an in-person face-to-face meeting. what prime minister netanyahu is coming in here with certainly is as you indicated phase two. the first phase is the release of 33 hostages during this 42-day period. the second phase is supposed to begin today but prime minister netanyahu has withdrawn -- he hasn't sent his negotiation team
7:36 am
to qatar to begin the second phase negotiations because for obvious reasons he wants to speak to president trump first. and what the second phase is underscores what you are saying. things that both sides don't want to do. hamas is supposed to give up governance in gaza. three still in control in all the videos we show of the hostage releases and prime minister netanyahu is supposed to withdraw everything from gaza. all his idf and go to a permanent cease-fire. both parties don't want to move in that direction and what do we see would happen as a result of that? what prime minister netanyahu wants, bret, he wants president trump's support for him to have to go back into gaza to clean up the rest of hamas so they are not left in power. i believe that's what he will put on the table. and then the most significant thing really deals with iran and the strategic opportunity and geopolitical change in front of
7:37 am
us. iran is on its heels. its proxies have been decimated and lost their platform in syria. strategic platform they needed to dominate and control the middle east. they are largely defenseless at home against air attack. they cannot protect their leadership in tehran or their nuclear enterprise or remaining rockets and missiles. prime minister netanyahu i'm convinced wants to take that on militarily. and do it as soon as possible. and end it once and for all. he is moving from what he has achieved in deterrents and we've seen that the last attack iran hasn't responded to it after they took down their air defense systems. they know they are defenseless. he wants to move to threat removal. the first time in 44 years he could use those terms and have a discussion with president trump and he wants president trump's support for that. not just political support, but he wants some military support to help him achieve that end in
7:38 am
terms of going after some of the deep and buried nuclear enterprise targets that iran has. those are the major issues on the table. the third one is the abraham accord. how to normalize relations with saudi arabia and israel going forward. >> bret: quickly president trump might not get there to say go after iran's nuclear facilities. he could be angling for some big deal with iran. it's possible. that could be a sticking point in this meeting. >> no doubt about it. another option certainly is tell iran to dismantle their nuclear program with a date certain and let's bring some inspectors in from the united states, the arab nations, not just the u.n. to verify that. prime minister netanyahu will push back saying we've seen that picture before. iranians will delay, delay, delay, cheat, cheat, cheat, and before you know it, we're into
7:39 am
next year and we haven't accomplished anything. that will be a wholesome discussion on whether a kinetic operation goes forward or whether some kind of negotiated settlement goes forward. those are the major issues, bret. >> bret: it's fascinating. we'll see in the meeting tomorrow. >> great talking to you, bret. >> it matters a lot to me personally. my first month as a united states senator you had this terrible train disaster. people always ask is the water clean to drink? is the air clean to breathe? luckily we now have a great epa administrator who can answer those questions. >> dana: a grim anniversary. president jd vance set to visit east palestine, ohio two years after the train derailment. america's kids falling even further behind in reading and making few gains in math. but there is one exception and
7:40 am
we'll talk to louisiana's superintendent of education on that state's success story. long after guests leave, viruses and bacteria linger. air fresheners add a scent. but only lysol air sanitizer helps erase the trace, eliminating odor and killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria in the air. scent can't sanitize. lysol can.

7:44 am
>> dana: breaking news of the day is on tariffs and we just have word that the mexican president spoke to donald trump
7:45 am
and they are going to pause the tariffs on mexico for one month and jackui heinrich is standing by at the white house with more on this development. hi, jackui. >> good morning. that was pretty short lived. the president spoke with mexican president, the two sides agreeing to pump the brakes on the tariffs and then retaliatory tariffs for a period of a month while they work out the terms of an agreement. the mexican president just posted some of the details. mexico is going to immediately send 10,000 members of the national guard to prevent drug trafficking from mexico to the united states particularly fentanyl. also she says the u.s. is going to work with mexico to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to mexico. something mexico hit back on when president trump was threatening the tariffs was they were calling on the u.s. to curb the flow of guns from the u.s. down to the cartels. she says the two teams will begin working today on two fronts, security and trade.
7:46 am
and president trump posted on truth social that part of that team is going to include secretary of state marco rubio, treasury secretary scott bessent and secretary of commerce howard lot nick as well as representatives from mexico. the president says he will speak with outgoing canadian prime minister justin trudeau at 3:00. he posted to truth service canada don't allow u.s. banks to do business there. many such things and also a drug wars, hundreds of thousands of people have died pouring through the borders of mexico and canada. just spoke to just trued and -- maybe a glimmer of hope for canada if terms are agreed to. certainly a lot of fast-moving developments this morning ahead of that midnight deadline when the 25% tariffs were set to go into effect. dana. >> bret: i want to hop in.
7:47 am
truth social suggests the negotiation is the the start of this deal as you put up this truth social, the 10,000 mexican soldiers on the border separating mexico and the united states. as well as you mentioned this team of rubio, bessent, lutnick to negotiate whatever the deal looks like. what the mexicans are agreeing to now may be just the first step in what president trump wants to happen before the month. >> bret, it sounds like that. you had the president last night when he returned to the white house talking about trade deficits and that being a component of his gripe with these countries. he also in that discussion mentioned he would be looking at the e.u. and potentially u.k. to pursue some tariffs against them. we assume to achieve some sort of similar trade deal. but you did have the nec director come out this morning and try to sort of soften the president's remarks about this being about trade saying look,
7:48 am
it is a drug war, not a trade war. the main focus for this administration is about illegal immigration and illegal drugs pouring across the border. it was something that president trump spoke about all through the campaign and in the lead-up to this coming into effect. >> dana: jackui, one of the things president trump did last night is in the quick video he did, he said that there might be some short-term pain for americans and saying it would be worth it in the end. >> yeah. that was a pretty significant admission, i think. because when you look at these three countries, canada, mexico and china, that is 40% of u.s. imports. there is no way to avoid some kind of pain when it is across the board tariff when you consider the 10% tariff for canada was on energy as well. you could see some ramifications. democrats jumped on that ahead of the super bowl. they were saying this is a trump tax increase and look at your
7:49 am
beer and guacamole if the prices go up. the possibility we might feel pain doubled down on the unfair practices of these countries. he took issue with canada and said they have been abusive to the u.s. in terms the of trade. he also repeated his points on illegal immigration and on the flow of fentanyl. it was something to hear him say that but also obvious to a certain extent. this avoiding that from happening for the next 30 days we saw this go on with his negotiations with columbia. that was the briefest of trade wars i think we've seen yet. certainly he is a strong negotiator and able to get something done this morning and we'll see if more comes together in the next 30 days and we can stave it off permanently for all these countries. >> bret: we're looking live in mexico city and that is the
7:50 am
mexican president giving a briefing to reporters about what has just transpired. the interesting thing here is as mexico is saying here is what we'll do, we have a one-month pause. whether that message translates to canada and how that goes, you know, with the same tariffs that go into effect at midnight tonight. >> we'll see. the president also was pretty complimentary of mexico when he was talking about this going into effect. we have had good conversations, we have to do it. he hasn't been quite as complimentary to trudeau. he has been complimentary to the people of mexico but has problems with the leadership there and see how the conversation goes at 3:00. >> dana: jackui hinrich with the breaking news at the white house. >> bret: we're watching as the anticipated it ends with us case heads to manhattan federal court while blake lively and justin baldoni ramp up attacks behind is scenes. we'll take a look at all the
7:51 am
breaking news about tariffs and everything else after this.
