whether it is ice, whether it is the military, taking the handcuffs off our ability to do our job and that allows us to get at the problem and weighs the previous administration is never serious about. >> will they move into an enforcement roll at this point or in the near future? >> we are working alongside border patrol to ensure they are able to do their job. we know there will be additional cbp agents. in the meantime whatever is required from dhs and secretary kristi noem, from the board its our and others it will be provided by the defense department because our mission is clear 100% operational control and we are proud to do i do. >> mr. secretary. >> hold on. >> mr. secretary, speaking of ice, what response do you have a for individuals say that some american citizens have also been detained but eventually released a?

>> we are not detaining american citizens. and sharing that illegals especially violent criminal illegals are deported from our country as quickly as possible. >> we have exclusive reporting that there are migrants arrested in recent weeks that have been released back in to the interior of the country because there is not enough space and ice facilities were you aware of that and your reaction? >> i'm not aware of that but i will address that. we are looking at 30,000 detention beds in guantanamo bay. making jails available for whoever is being detained i am not aware of that but now you said that i will find out. >> one last thing i want to give a shout out to the commanders in the field who have executed rapidly and with maximum professionalism. north com, south comp, across the spectrum, incredibly proud of the war years we have in the defense department and their commitment.

>> that is the secretary of defense of pete hegseth with a seamless transition and talks this time not on "fox & friends" put to the will cain show. we go down from the border in el paso where we were listening to tom homan and secretary of defense pete hegseth where president trump is welcoming the 2024 stanley cup champion florida panthers. >> president trump: another legal but this is incredible. thank you very much. senators rick scott and ashley moody. congratulations. representatives byron donalds, byron and thank you very much. gus the rack us thank you very much. mike clement a novelist. congratulations jared moscow which.

very good. and maria salazar thank you. we have a couple of others that i will get myself in big trouble because i don't know where you are i know you are here someplace but we have to get onto ice happy. the panthers 20232024 season was one for the history books really an exciting one everybody was watching. secured the atlantic division title for the third time and after coming up just short of the stanley cup a year prior, you gave the fans one of the most riveting comebacks in nhl history, in any sport history. i don't know anything about a comeback what they tell me it is very good. [applause] team captain alexander bar

called was crowned of the league's best defensive forward after winning his second. a great honor a big deal to do that. [applause] and when facing off against your state rivals of the tampa bay lightning, matthew tkachuk flower power unmatched leading the way to a glorious nonto victory. how did they take a 9-2 victory? how did that have been a? he was surprised as well. setting a franchise record with the panthers 11th consecutive when in a row and then anton lundell had a memorable season

with 13 goals, 22 assists, and winning 13% of his face-off is setting an all-time career high will just 22 years old and congratulations to anton lundell. where is he? [applause] that's great anton. don't worry, you will get beat up. your teams and many successes were the result of incredible performances across the border. i'm sure you agree that your coach deserves a lot of credit. great coach. nobody knows hockey like paul the league's second all-time leader in-game coach he holds the record for the most wins in florida panthers history and i assume he will be around for a long time. he is not going anywhere. coach, i want to be your agent, coach. under paul's a leadership the panthers have become a finely tuned machine with a rock-solid

defensive and offensive may be your offence is great your defense is great the whole thing is very tough to beat. and i will tell you i looked at your current record doing pretty well already. nicely positioned. nicely positioned. just so cute all of these ties of. what do they say? i think they liked trump. i like them. and you are just great protectors of the net. you are also known as the biggest burros on isa. i was with a man named wayne gretzky the other day. do you know wayne gretzky? and he was telling me about a gentleman that protected him named martin mcsorley do you know him? i don't know if he was a good hockey player but they say he was very tough. he will say he is great as far as he is concerned. tough cookies. all of the team's hard work lead up to big showdowns were you

defeated the edmonton oilers in an unforgettable and it was a seven-game series of the panthers, as i said, started strong with a 3-0 lead it was over. it was over. i didn't watch the next two games because they said this won't be too exciting and then they said owe. they really said owe. he went to game seven. but the oilers made impressive recoveries and really impressive the way they played as well of. they even did the score decides -- decisive game seven. the series was a battle from start to finish. it made it much more interesting goalie sergei bobrovsky he was incredible i have to see him where is he? where is he? you were hall of fame?

even how old are you. well i will tell you you are unbelievable. [applause] that was a lot of pressure. at the end of game seven you guys had to be like man that was great. great job you did. on behalf of everybody that watched thank you. nothing short of an honorable in the finals and the first 40 minutes of game one bulb made an astounding 25 saves, he is the first goalie to get a shout out in game one of the stanley cup in 13 years and 23 saves in game seven were absolutely crucial to securing the very, very tight victory and he started his career as an undrafted free agent and now a stanley cup freight -- agent going down as one of the greatest and all-time history. really a big honor for you especially undrafted so he made a good deal.

you have to find more like that. so what a great achievement, bob a cat congratulations, for the title could not have been one if you did not have a man named carter verhaeghe. [applause] i heard his name so many times. i said that is right. i heard that name so much carter verhaeghe. scoring champion and really the opening goal of that game was very important to that put you in a position where the butterflies out a little bit. way to go. congratulations. great job, everybody. carter skilfully directed a shot past the oilers goalie and gave the panthers of the first to lead in the series since game

three. and not to forget sam reinhart who had a legendary shot in game seven. one that won't be forgotten. sam carried it down the ice and flicked the shot very much like i do with a red flag right past the oilers goalie meeting him and beat him on the glove side. we're are you? how did you feel after that shot? the greatest feeling or one of the greatest in life? long time. it's true you have a little bit to go. sam cemented himself as an panthers history of the team the team's first-ever stanley cup. where did he go? both teams sewed tremendous willpower and athletic talent and unbelievable talent but in

the end the panthers stood their ground and did what you have to do as a champion, you can to be a champion unless you go through something like that and i tell you it was hell for them the seventh game had to be hell. because you are really going to win and really be praised because you came from such a horrible position to being life-threatening. that would have been just unbelievable. so we have seen them we it happens a lot actually. but you didn't let it happen to you. an incredible achievement. i just want to tell you you fought for every last point and it was just something i watched i was watching that sucker for may be the wrong reasons because of that guy. and i was hoping to because you fell in love with that team. the guts of the courage they have few really started to really like them. great people and now i see them and in fact i like them so much i say we will get rid of the fake news media very soon and we

will go to the oval office, and we will take some pictures of the oval office. normally we don't do that but we will do it for this team and for you. unless you don't want to go. you can go home. [laughter] so today we honor the brilliant it just really great athletes amazing athletes and an amazing team at standing achievements from underdogs to champions of. they proved their dedication and harmed -- hard work and transform dreams into reality. congratulations once again to the florida panthers on just unbelievable season and really an unbelievable run because you have been doing so well and now you continue to do well we will try to get to one of those games. you know it is a little tough as president but i think we can work it out. secret service that they will be happy. we will get to do later. you made your state and your fans very proud of. now i would like to introduce my

friend it was a real champion himself. a champion and everything he has ever done, loves the military. first thing i did i see him he said you got to do this with the army. he is giving me all the instructions. you love the military. i would have liked him we should have had you in afghanistan instead of the characters we had at what have turned out a little but different. congratulations. congratulations. [applause] >> first, mr. president, you look fantastic. >> president trump: thank you. >> whatever you are working so hard at it is agreeing with you and i love to see that. we brought a cohort to use a term use the military champions to visit... >> will: president trump congratulating the stanley cup champion florida panthers today at the white house. welcome to the will cain show live from the heartland.

we will continue to monitor that press conference, congratulatory celebration with the florida panthers, we will see if president trump takes any questions from the audience and the press corps if they do we will go back and live and see what the president has to say. but today marks two weeks into the second term of president trump. it is only for think we are already talking about the art of the deal. with the clock ticking down midnight for tariffs to take effect, president trump announced he had a quote, friendly conversation with the president of mexico and the tube struck a temporary deal. meanwhile right now you have more protest in los angeles over the trump administration immigration enforcement. these are live pictures from southern california right now. you can see many different flags represented in this crowd and every protest we have seen from dallas to los angeles oddly, you have seen no semblance of el salvador in or mexican flags

and no sign of the united states of america. prime minister justin trudeau wrapped up a phone call. we go to fox news senior white house correspondent peter doocy. outside the white house. >> hearing from white house officials all the way up to the president himself they do not consider this to be a trade war, they are called to get a drug war. they think the mexican president gets that, they do not think the canadian prime minister gets that. >> is there anything he can give you when you talk again to create a pause? >> i don't know. we have big deficits with canada. canada is very tough. we are not treated well by canada and we have to be treated well. >> a trump and xi jingping recall is expected on tariffs

including the loophole that allows stuff under $800 to ship into the u.s. duty-free. the big goal with these china tariffs is to keep fentanyl components in china. >> president to represent a very strong message to the rest of the world including our north american allies in canada and mexico that the united states will no longer be a dumping ground for a legal deadly drugs and illegal immigrants. >> democratic line with all of this is that costs will go up and to make that point they have props. >> let's just take super bowl sunday. it is going to affect a beer okay? most of it corona here comes from mexico. it is going to affect your guacamole because what is guacamole made of? avocados, both from mexico. if you have pizza it will affect

the cost of cheese of. [laughter] >> will: so with that clip democrats are betting that concerned american consumers would rather have a beer with nobody other than... fortunate for all of us that he brought visual aids so we would understand guacamole. and that tariff exemption loophole that is fascinating something that i did not know about but a lot of people watching from home might know of teemu these direct sellers that kind of compete with amazon. from what i understand they ship a package of four under $800 they skip all tariffs and as part of this is that loophole would be closed. >> and that is the way that to date until these terms go into effect on midnight teemu and similar countries have been able to sell stuff for so cheap in the united states. the goal is to make it so they

have to compete with american companies and charge more than a dollar 25 for a couch. >> that is a big one. that is a big uncompetitive unfair advantage for some of those companies based out of china. >> will: take a look at what is happening. hard to keep up with it so fast. what we are two weeks into the trump presidency. take a look at what has been accomplished. you have a took -- temporary deal with mexico to set aside tariffs for one month. panama has pledged to end its panama canal deal with china. deportations, israeli hostages have been released, u.s. prisoners in venezuela have been released, tei programs have ended. d.o.g.e has been importing out taxpayer waist. people promoting russian disinformation lost their security clearance. some of what is happened in two weeks.

now mexico becomes the first country to blink as we wait to see what happens in canada. let's bring in former foreign minister, minister of foreign affairs with canada to join us now. thank you for being with us. a pretty big moment for canada waiting to see how this meeting has gone or will go between justin trudeau and president trump. what do you think can be done on canada side of this negotiation to avoid these tariffs? >> first, let me congratulate you on the show. obviously these tariffs are unjustified unjustified they are massively justifiable. 90 9% of the products from the united states from canada come tariff free. i do believe obviously we have to look at legitimate concerns on fentanyl and concerns on illegal border crossings. i think canada the government has been pretty clear they will take every action they can take to help our friend that is what a good neighbor would do.

i think that is important. i think it is a really difficult time for canada because the prime minister resigned, taken out by his own party, we will have a new prime minister in several weeks under new government in several months. new prime minister new government will be a better partner for united states and frankly for most of the free world. >> will: let me explore take into some of the words you used. on justifiable these tariffs are. unjustified. president trump when he talks about it talks about several different angles. he talks about the fentanyl and illegal immigration coming across the northern border we know how much comes across the southern border he is just not eccentric the norther border as part of this equation. he also talks about trade imbalances when it comes to canadian and american trade relationships. we have seen some news, by the way, that some canadian companies have already considered moving the course of business, their primary location of business to the united states to avoid these kinds of tariffs. you can see some potential

upside for the united states. when you look at it do you not see justification? do you have any sense? do you know why president trump is looking for these tariffs? >> the power he has to impose these tariffs are all based on national security that is why he is leading with fentanyl and immigration. no argument we have to step up our game. but he is also talking about the trade agreement. the trade agreement we have with the united states was signed by president trump. part of that deal coast for review next year we can review it to whatever he wants and look at legitimate grievances that they have. already 99% of trade comes across a for free. the united states does have a $50 billion trade surplus we take oil and natural gas out of the equation and obviously that is a boon for the united states because all of that is refined in the united states that creates a lot of job in the united states. a pretty decent relationship we have a fairly integrated

economy. parts of automobile will go across six or seven times before they are assembled. three of the last cars i bought were assembled in michigan. a lot of wealth generation for both sides. >> will: i suspect you are right to the real key we are watching if the new government of canada when they come and what deal they can make what effect that has. i think if there is any lesson for us to take it is analyse it through the prism of the art of the dealer. >> and look at your last piece of the majority of the panthers are actually canadian players are. >> will: we know what your contribution to ice hockey and we appreciated. defence secretary pete hegseth at the border to hammer home america first policy. when both democrats and learn americans want safe orders?

>> will: defence secretary pete hegseth is only a week into the job and already down at the southern border hammering america first policy to secure the border. >> border security is national security. guys and gals of my generation have spent decades in foreign countries guarding other people's borders. it is about time we secure our own border. tens of millions of people have poured across this border under joe biden's administration unchecked we have no idea who they are, we have no idea where they are coming from, we have no idea what their intentions are. >> will: this is we are seeing more demonstrations this afternoon in california where

they take to the streets to protest these immigration policies. and while the new trump administration tries to clean up the border mess new jersey democratic governor phil murphy is challenging ice to come to his home suggesting key is housing someone who may not be legal. let's bring a new jersey republican congressman. i think i will remember a time not in the two distant past where a politician was found to have employed an illegal immigrant probably something that will kill a campaign and possibly their career. saying i have an illegal immigrant in my house come get them, ice, i dare you. >> something like you just can't make it up and it is just so unbelievably bad, so disappointing, so embarrassing, 90 9% of my life i have lived in the state of new jersey. the chief executive.

the ceo of the state. so to encourage illegal activity i know i sit on the judiciary activity and i see justice for the but not for me. okay for him to break the law then maybe it is okay for people to go into stores and steal stuff because they do not feel like paying for it or they think it is too expensive. maybe they think it is okay to attack a police officer because you just don't in in great -- agree with law enforcement or you don't like this individual. we have the rule of law with the governor is doing is awful and disappointing. >> will: again there was a time not that long ago even under barack obama where immigration law was enforced, deportations were enforced. the mayor of chicago, the governor of new jersey, this open defiance of the law. open defiance of law enforcement. it is a huge turn in the way that it has embraced the party criminality.

at least on the note of illegal immigration. i want to move on this, congressman, the pentagon has a new policy in place. political npr and "new york times" out of the dedicated media office spaces. they will make room for some new organizations to stefan like "the new york post", breitbart, and "huffington post". katie has said and put out on x that this is propaganda. this is how news becomes propaganda it has begun to. >> we live under propaganda we were we were before for the last four years and even under president obama and others it was just pushing out what they believe the legacy media and people finally got it. do not represent the truth, do not present both sides and we have it in our university systems as well were both sides of the coin's don't hear about left and right. liberal and conservative this is

a good thing there should be all kinds of media representing all points of view for the first time in many years we will have media that will give a different viewpoint. let americans decide to let people decide, we are tired of being spoon-fed and told things that are not true, or not accurate, it is getting old unfortunately now more of a balance. that is a good thing an american thing. >> will: stunning lack of self-awareness from the likes of katie couric not understanding how the american public to use her views of. viewing them as propaganda. finally, congressman, sources are telling fox news it is unclear how many people may be fired from the fbi as trump looks to clear the white house. attorney saying that this could violate the process right. what do you think about this moment were many fbi agents may be part of the whole perch from the doj to the consumer financial protection bureau within the federal government

to? >> i am chairman of the oversight and subcommittee and we will dig into the stuff. department of justice, the attorney general, most of the folks working in these agencies are good people working on the streets with the people at the top what they did is wanting to and plant people and traditional roman catholic church this is with the fbi did. creating and working to create the steele dossier which was a complete lie, working with... giving hundreds of thousands of dollars, using because lies to go after president trump again a horrible thing. going after parents and school boards terrible. misusing five so. they misused fisa to go after people they did not agree with. going up to boyfriends, girlfriends, watch, millions of times there are problems there. at the top the fbi is there to protect us from the bad guys and

unfortunately americans need protection from some of the people at the top at the fbi. it is good it will stop. again a fairness thing. justice for everyone. >> will: accountability for past the politicization of all these departments. >> always good to talk with you. >> will: elon musk something shock waves across the globe as president trump shutting down usaid. as many criticize the move our next guest who lives in uganda say this is an opportunity. she is next. >> high time you got to end african continent got themselves together and actually say looking for systems that are sustainable and not always depend on foreign aid.-p because we are struggling with thatedesig. that features our exclusive soundscape mode™... that synchronizes a gentle massage, with relaxing sounds... to help you drift, peacefully, off to sleep.

this person lives in uganda and says this could represent an opportunity for african organizations that depend on the sata. >> we have defended usaid for over 60 years and the moment the owners of the money say let's take pause and see where the money is going suddenly the old country goes into a frenzy and there should be a moment of reflection for uganda and the african continent in general. we have been asking for very long time to be liberated from colonialism colonialism, neocolonialism, and now that the opportunity presents itself, for some reason we are complaining. that is something strange. often the money given to us in foreign aid is lost to corruption, misuse, depleted, and inflicted in salaries to particular individuals or sometimes billions of money unaccounted for. so it only makes sense that the donor is asking for an audit and if that means pausing the amount of money coming in they should! >> will: she is a policy content creator with 14,500 followers on tiktok and she

joins me now. it is good to see you. i want to dive right into some of the points we heard you make you get that video. let's start with colonialism. you point out that many african nations have been fighting for, are curing for, extricating themselves from colonialism. here we have western countries, in this case united states, pulling their money away, and you were confused as to why people would be upset. i think you were saying you thought this was what you wanted. >> yes definitely definitely. for a very long time we as african people, ugandan people, always complaining about the issues that result to foreign aid and the different strings that come with it. and so this presents as a great opportunity for african nations to stop talking about strings attached to u.s. or foreign aid in general. understand where the issue comes from. because this comes from largely supports individuals who live with hiv and aids in most

african nations. and this is a huge devastation on that particular issue. but on the other hand it presents a great opportunity for african nations to build more sustainable health care and financial assistance on a global scale. >> will: i think six and a half billion dollars goes to sub-saharan africa. you point out a lot of this aid does go to for example helping those with hiv, how much exactly? i want to share this with the audience, usaid, $43 billion in 2023. here is how it has broken out. 16 billion under governance. another 10 billion humanitarian. three and a half billion under administration. i don't know what governance and administration are good people point out how much overhead usaid has on the side. what happens when it gets to your side the recipient on how much of that is tried to

corruption. >> so many issues within our structural system. misuse of money in the system so we keep having to outsource from elsewhere. there is always where this money is mishandled. calling for sustainability in structures if we are going to have to money that comes from outside. with presence of rampant corruption, misuse of funds, and sometimes the money disappears, it begs the question how can american nations shift or pivot and this kind of time for area because now that usaid is getting this it means we won't get this money any further and so it has to be a more sustainable system that is going to work. a lot of people will lose their lives thousands of most jobs and it puts african nations in a very staggering position that does not see us going anywhere

in the future. >> will: you see this as the opportunity this is the opportunity to stand up on your own in uganda. >> definitely. because now we have analysed where our stances when it comes to, we cannot depend on our livelihoods. our livelihoods depend on internal politics of united states. so having understood that this particular moment in time it gives african nations particularly the initiative to make decisions that are more sustainable instead of depending on whether or not a particular state has aid for a particular country. >> will: what a fascinating discussion what an interesting discussion. thank you so much for jumping on with us today. >> thank you for having me. >> will: fox news alert, prime minister trudeau of canada is put it here, there will be a

pause, of three days. i'm sorry 30 days on the tariffs scheduled to go in on canada. 25% tariff schedule to go in on canada. a pause of 30 days. we will find out what concessions when we come back from this break. i had the worst dream last night. you were in a car crash and the kids and i were on our own. that's awful, hon. my brother was saying he got life insurance from ethos. and he got $2 million in coverage, all online. life insurance made easy. check your price today at ethos.com.

we are waiting to see what the white house is about this. keep our eyes on that perhaps a reprieve for canada. meanwhile down at the southern border cartels are reportedly authorizing the use of weaponized drones against borders and ice ages. members being given the green light to open fire on u.s. law enforcement. just one week ago we saw cartel members shoot at cartel agents near the great -- border agents near the rio grande. these brothers were in leadership roles of the 3 billion-dollar enterprise by their teen years. one works with u.s. leaders and law enforcement to educate people on the cartel of. he joins me now he is wearing glasses and a mask for his safety. thank you for being with us i appreciate your time today. >> thank you for having me mr. kane a pleasure to meet you thank you. >> will: we do this really

quickly at the outset, let's establish this, your bona fides for the audience. i'm particularly fascinated by mexican drug cartels, i know their names i know the names of cartels. but i want to do it for the audience benefit. the sinaloa cartel has been historically at least for the last couple decades the because cartel in mexico, led by el chapo, guzman, also led by his males in vital. what did you do? how high was your where was your place in the leadership and the higher key? what did you do for the sinaloa cartel? >> historically the cartel happens to be the most profitable, the biggest in terms of drug distribution at the most violent. it was headed by... , el chapo, and... so i worked directly with. my brothers and the organization were they charted their one of the major distribution houses in the united states for almost 10

years. so we were on the american side and we worked directly with them many of their top lieutenant. >> will: you worked directly with mio you said and you were on the american side. do you mind me ask you where you were in america. i assume coordinating shipments wholesale into the united states? >> yes we were in charge of distribution and coordinating shipments across the united states and into canada. canada being a big market, top five market for mexican drug cartels. so that was our side of the business as well we were in charge of basically exporting back in to mexico the u.s. currency. which i think is the driving force to these mexican drug cartels of. >> will: i could have an hour long conversation with you about how that is done tactically, how you ship that boatload of money and cash back to mexico, what are the best ways you guys have used drugs come again but i want

to start here. you see the story about drug cartels exchanging fire with american forces at the southern border. now there is the story about weaponized drones. here's a couple questions on this first. do you see any situation where the cartel it wants a direct of violent conflict with u.s. forces? that would seem bad for business and not something they would want to do what is that something we are now beginning to see? >> if the reports are correct it would not go against those reports but historically every drug cartel has an unwritten rule for many years that you do not commit acts of violence against any law enforcement officer especially not federal law enforcement officers. that borderline is invisible but it works for the most part. i don't see any benefit from drug cartels targeting law enforcement for no reason at all. i think that they know once it happens there is no turning back

and it would be bad for business as you mentioned. >> will: we will move off of that just a moment. tell me what you understand about the level of technological weaponry the cartel's employee and got this point. >> at this point and they continued to advance especially with military recruiting military from different countries united states and they use this how to actually improve under the cartels. so it has been a common use against retaliation against each other. so just any technology out there use it to their advantage use it to smoke use it to attack each other. and commit more violence. >> will: we talked about they would not want to fire upon american serve current -- security forces because you know what happens then and it looks

like it is happening now. president trump has declared the mexican drug cartels a foreign terrorist group. that essentially giving license to the american military should they deem it necessary to go into mexico to attack the cartels. where does that put them now today? that seems to be a big change in the middle -- business model. >> that i think makes him target. upper tears of the cartel i know that they are fearful of the american government but they are more fearful of the laws. many high ranking members of the sinaloa cartel have been arrested and they all start to cooperate. they enact punishment on the laws. president trump actually putting this into effect. because i think that this is going to scare them. i don't know if this is going to

stop the demand for drug trafficking but i do think it is an important tool and i do think the president of mexico should accept this with open arms. there was a thousands of mexican people affected by these drug cartels and their violence. >> will: last week on the roof -- will cain show we had congressmen trooper roy he endorsed the plan by senator mike lee which suggested you could give letters of marque to private citizens in the united states to begin themselves to fight the cartels. disrupting stroke of -- smuggling routes, supply chains, that kind of thing. on the american side. but my question for you is this are all of these measures including private citizens or designating the mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, is there a point where the beautiful drop of all of the money you can make for yourself on all of the different things you can traffic into america is

this incentivized enough? the trouble too much and not worth the price? >> i think for the most part that plan of sending private signed two individuals to go after cartels does not make any sense. you can see these drug cartels talk to each other on a daily basis they need the law, they need the government to make the difference. do i believe that this will help? i think it will have an impact but i also think the reason why i started getting to law enforcement and educating and cheering my knowledge is because i believe that we have to go after the bulk u.s. currency. that is the bottom line is, that is what every drug cartel actually gets into business. everybody wants the u.s. dollar, being transported back in the bulk in the billions and i think focus on the bulk use currency, focus on the weapons going across the border. here in the united states i think that would have a more

significant impact or draw. it is a business. i understand it is called the war on drugs but it has to be looked at like a business. the money is what fuels corruption. >> will: stop the cash going across you don't have a business not getting paid to ship an illegal drugs. fascinating i could talk to you for a long time about this. we appreciate the time you have given us today. >> thank you. >> will: fox news alert this just in maine -- republican leader and... intelligence leader susan collins releasing a statement saying she will support tulsi gabbard. sarah collins released a statement saying she will support tulsi gabbard 40 and i. that is great news. time quickly the minute we have

left here for world of the people. one user is asking is it true that you have a twin brother named it won't? no. and who do people say is my doppelgaenger? to matheson? the guy from animal health? another adding i love the show. my suggestion ditch the rolling banner and where a flannel shirt daily. give it some time see where this goes over time. finally, saying you owned your mistakes and i did not even know any of them were errors. i love your show mistakes and all. that is the point you don't know somebody makes a mistake and thus they own it so we will continue to own our mistakes here every week on the will cain show. thank you for joining us as we get to the heart of the matter from the heart of america. we will be here same time same place tomorrow. get ready for "the five". ♪ ♪ >> dana: hello, ever
