>> ainsley: that comes as mexican drug cartels are planning to retaliate against agents and officers securing our border. memo says mexican cartel authorized deployment of drones equipped with explosives to be used against military personnel working on the border against mexico. >> steve: there is fear tougher measures will wut away profit made through criminal activities like drugs and human smuggling. >> steve: we are on the couch and down in el paso is lawrence jones. he was busy yesterday with pete hegseth and tom homan and so many more. lawrence. >> lawrence: good morning, family. we had a busy day yesterday with secretary of defense, pete hegseth. it was a big day, they are making it very clear to the troops that they're go ing to i

cus on the border. u.s. southern control focuses on narcotics, these guys will focus on the border and securing it. we'll see resources. he was flanked by tom homan, focusing on border secure, border patrol, getting people deported and working with secretary of defense to make sure the wall is in place and manpower is on the border. we had fascinating conversation. what came up was gitmo, how it would work and who would be housed there. >> who would be housed there, what is the goal at guantanamo? >> could be all of the above. >> lawrence: could be families? >> could be. very humane. there are two different places,

there is hardened defense area where folks like tren de aragua are going to go. if you're a violent gang banger and we're waiting to bring you to your country, you are violent and threaten our people. the other side has been for decades, built for migrant use, haitians and cubans in the '90s. bill clinton used it ex extensively. if peaceful migrants are needing to be housed and we have maximum capability of 30,000 before they are transferred back to their home country. >> lawrence: powerful stuff. we had not heard what was going to happen at guantanamo.

he used to be a guard at guantanamo and knows the property. >> steve: he has been. it was interesting to hear him describe how they would use various parts of gitmo, the super lockdown place for the bad guys and other part that i don't think a lot of people have heard it. barnes exactly right. that is one of the critical roles. defense, but communication about what is going to happen. i saw that behind the scenes with the rank and file. h he was explaining what they were going to do. to make them comfortable, he used to be rank and file and inf infantry officer. he would talk to the brass and have closed door meetings, but would tell brass to leave for a second. he would talk with rank and file

and he would be comfortable knowing what equipment they need. that was telling. one message he made sure to let them know, i have your back. if you have a concern, come to me. >> steve: one concern about new refreshing common-sense approach to everything, if it is common sense, it is common sense to men and women on thes front lines fighting and if they know what they are fighting for, they'll fight better. >> lawrence: that is exactly right. i always knew in the military they had certain intelligence when it came to cartel and all that. but i did not know back in the '60s that j.f.k. created so southern command to focus on the narco state. i don't know why we have not been using them considering the

rise of fentanyl acrossing the border. 50% of drugs in the country are laced with fentanyl. why didn't we have a strategy before? it is different with this new administration. >> ainsley: now canada is going to put somebody on their northern border. this is winning, winning, winning. we saw what happened in mexico and canada and venezuela and colombia and they tried to call trump's bluff, then blinked almost immediately. we're seeing that also in el salvador. we had marco rubio go to el salvador and meet the president there and they are saying the president offered to accept deportees from the united states. the president agreed to take all ms-13 gang members in the united states unlawfully and promised to accept members of tren de aragua and criminal illegal

migrants from any country. >> lawrence: yeah, i mean, the threat of the tariff, you have hrd heard about the book, "the art of the deal," and people say he's a great negotiator, we witness it day-by-day. in the morning, the media is freaking out, congress freaking out that tariffs are going into effect and by afternoon, marco rubio is talking to secretary of defense and action is happening and we see results of the arlt of the deal. >> steve: and the president telegraphed that. he was asked, won't tariffs hurt america? it may cause pain, then maybe it won't because he was hedging his bet, he knew what he was going to do.

great reporting from texas and mexico. >> ainsley: we saw it happen in panama. panama initially were not interested in making a deal and now they are kicking china out. >> steve: what the president said, i'm going to take the panama canal. instead he's taking a deal where it sounds like china will no longer run ports go ing forward and american warships get free passage. >> charlie: today on capitol hill, trump cabinet nominees tulsi gabbard and r.f.k. jr. are up for vote. >> ainsley: chad pergram is live on capitol hill. good morning. >> chad: good morning. committee votes like these are litmus test. they are not the final say on the floor. susan collins supports tulsi gabbard and the intelligence committee votes today.

>> after extensive consideration, conversations with her in my office, attending the hearing, questioning her there and listening to her in the closed session, i decided to vote that i will vote for her. i believe she's committed to strengthening our national security. >> chad: question is whether todd young of indiana will support gabbard. committee can always send a nomination to the floor with no recommendation or a negative recommendation. president trump stands behind his nominee. >> president trump: i think tulsi gabbard will do okay. i can't guarantee anything. she's liked by so many, especially people in military and law enforcement. >> chad: don't expect democratic

support fror r.f.k. jr. they are protesting what happened with spending freeze and usaid. >> pulling the fire alarm, it is up to republicans, majority in congress, passing nominations, who are sitting silently by while elon musk goes into departments and agencies and takes your information. >> chad: r.f.k. jr. could struggle before the finance committee. health committee chairman casidy and vexed by r.f.k. jr.'s opinion on vaccines, he is a doctor. >> charlie: r.f.k. jr. appeared before two senate committees, does he have to get turned out favorably from both committees or just say finance committee?

>> chad: just one, they will vote on his nomination and you don't have to come out favorably. bill cassidy chairs the health committee, we don't know where he stands, that committee will not vote on his nomination. >> steve: to your point about cas cassidy, it is unclear how he'll vote but he doesn't like r.f.k. jr. has said in the past about vaccines. he is a professionally trained doctor, he's up for reelection next year in a very red state, louisiana. okay, doc, a physician, politician, physician, politician. >> chad: right. exactly. sometimes senators say this is my conscience, this is how i will vote on this. i will take the heat and defend this. i took the hippocratic oath, you

just don't know. he is working through that nomination and if he's opposed in committee, he could vote no on the floor. you have heard me say, it is about the math. 53 votes in senate, they can only lose three to get down to j.d. vance casting a tiebreaking vote. >> ainsley: when can we watch the full hearing taking final vote for r.f.k. jr. and tulsi gabbard? >> that will be public 10:00 this morning. sometimes that is not sexy, there is parliamentary back and forth, things i get into. intelligence committee meeting will be 2:00 and will be private but we'll find out what they do. when it gets out of committee, it does not go right to the floor. there are other nominations they will vote on today, doug collins

for va secretary. we are looking at another week or two, we have planes lined up at o'hare. >> steve: he knows everything, he's chad pergram. >> ainsley: happening today, president trump is set to host israeli prime minister netanyahu at the white house. >> steve: alexandria ocasio-cortez alexandria hoff is at the white house and preparing for the president's visit. >> that is right. prime minis prime minister netanyahu is hoping this will be a better meeting with trump than he had with biden. he said the fact this will be mr. trump's first meeting with a foreign leader is testimony to the alliance and our personal friendship and this meeting will deal with critical issues.

this is second phase of ceasefire between israel and hamas. initial deal signed one day before president trump's inauguration and numbers chapter will include return of all living hostages with full withdrawal of troops from gaza. benjamin netanyahu is feeling pressure to go on until -- listen. >> number one priority has to be for israeli peep and he will for us as americans to get every single hostage out, that is what president of the united states said, that is what he wants to do. >> benjamin netanyahu met with michael waltz university and steve witkoff, who is hopeful about negotiations between israel and hamas. president trump expressed

skepticism about the ceasefire future. >> president trump: i have no idea if it will hold, no guarantee peace will hold. >> the two leaders will hold a press conference following their meeting, it could be later today and could include dinner. >> steve: you never know. thank you. >> ainsley: hand over to carley with headlines for us. >> carley: good morning to you, guys. more news. transportation secretary sean duffy visiting site of the deadly medivac crash yesterday. he is saying it is save to fly despite the fl flight and phily. >> air travel is safe e69 form of travel in the country. you can travel and feel good about it on american airlines. this is safest mode of

transportation and understand as public and demand we can't stand to have crashes, this is unacceptable. >> carley: he says they will hire more air traffic controllers . and vice president j.d. vance heading to upper yoo for his fis trip abroad since taking offic. he will head to france and then to germany. president trump has not said when his first foreign trip will be. and super bowl festivities kicking off and roger goodell tackling the theory the refs are helping chiefs win games here. >> i think the men and women that officiate in the n.f.l. are outstanding, have highest standards, for anyone that would

take it seriously, that is ridiculous. >> why are you leaning into this ref thing? >> carley: theory began circling after questionable calls. you can watch the chiefs go for their third straight super bowl victory this sunday on fox. and at opening night for super bowl on monday, n.f.l. commissioner roger goodell threw water on the theory that refs are help ing -- >> steve: how many times you going to read that? maybe that is from people not pro-kansas city. >> carley: people think the calls are for the chiefs because they are good for football. >> charlie: or just from people watching on tv. >> steve: we'll all be watching. coverage starts 1:00 in the

afternoon on sunday. >> ainsley: what are you making? >> steve: my wife is making special event chili. >> ai >> charlie: super bowl licks. >> ainsley: gronk said that on the commercial. >> steve: bret baier will interview president trump, last time joe biden did not want to be interviewed. >> charlie: trump does not miss out on the opportunity ever. >> steve: i'll be in kansas city, we'll have a party for chiefs fans, join me thursday mor morning. great place, chicken pickle, a pickleball place. they play cornhole and stuff and they have a bar, they have food, come join us and we'll put you on tv. >> charlie: they have fried

>> lawrence: we'll follow your lead. we touched down in a military hangar to talk to the troops. >> what you are doing is front lines. >> lawrence: we'll head into the chopper and get a look at the sky. >> you can talk with your command staff about getting this border secure and ready. >> the thing to watch the military respond to orders of the commander-in-chief. there has been no hesitation, full integration. our generation spent 20 years guarding other people's borders and watching an invasion of our own. great people of dhs have done best they can, nobody can bring it to bear like the defense committee. >> we will defend our own cou

country. what is it for? >> lawrence: they get rushed or someone fires on them. >> great question, one of the first ones we countered with stan standing order and -- able to defend itself.

briefing with the secretary of defense and the border czar. >> we will see cure the border and this will country will be a lot safer. >> lawrence: you two gentleman commit that by the end of this four years and i know you both, i know the president has confidence in you both, we will have operational control of the border. is that a promise you can keep? >> sooner than that. if it takes that long, we're not doing our job right. >> we're not waiting four years. >> tom will find them internally. we'll prevent them coming in in the first place, that is national security. >> lawrence: a report is out that mexican cartel plan to use drones and fire upon our agents and military. if this were to happen, what would be the response of something like this? >> we will not stand for that,

lawrence. most powerful military in the world will not be intimidated, let alone cartels. >> not a question of if, it is when, president trump said this is a terrorist organization and there will be violence. >> lawrence: looks like mexico caved to the threat of the president of the united states saying if they did not stop the fentanyl and illegals, there would be tariff upon them. they have come to a temporary negotiation. >> we have no better negotiator at our helm than donald trump. the mission isser cloo. we'll secure that border, nothing will intimidate us, if we have to be proactive, we will be. >> this is national security, when we secure the border, less women, children and -- this is national security issue,

president trump will shut it down. >> lawrence: the biggest at tak takeaway, you don't want to mess with the united states military if you are the cartel. any foreign actor, there is special attention to them, they know where their tunnels are, they are filling them with concrete, leaving some open to get intelligence. they have sources on the ground and know where the cartel bosses are. if you are going to strike at the u.s., there will be a heavy price. >> steve: goes to point we've been talking about last couple months, they will realize there is a new sheriff in town who lives in washington, d.c. one thing pete, the defense secretary said yesterday, mr. secretary, they are moving thousands of soldiers to the border to stop the invasion,

something we never heard from the last administration. it has been an invasion. >> lawrence: it is an invasion. and i can't stress this enough, it is one thing to move troops for symbolic measure, that is not going to be the case. under the president of the united states, rules of engagement have changed. if you strike at our soldiers, they will respond with necessary force. they have the right to respond with firearms, people think military will be shooting people, that is not the case. they will respond to cartel in kind. they will use pepper spray. they have whole utility belt for a reason. that is something you have to give the president of the united states, donald trump, a lot of credit. he campaigned on this and said he would do it, we are seeing

action. border numbers are down. never seen border numbers like this, never seen spirit from border agents and military like this. >> ainsley: promises made, promises kept and you have been talking about morale down there. you interviewed a lot of troops on the border and we'll have that story tomorrow. look forward to hearing what they said. thank you, lawrence. great job. >> lawrence: see y'all tomorrow. >> ainsley: catch your flight, be safe. canada and mexico coming to the table after president trump threatened tariffs. governor sarah huckabee sanders is unpacking the president's strategy. on tiktok to compete. within a week of posting, i had over $25,000 in sales. i don't have a million dollars to put towards marketing and branding. tiktok was the way and it saved my company. we had a video do really good this week. sales were up 29%. about 80% of my business right now is from tiktok.

president today after canada and mexico were very quick to cave and agree to more -- to do more to fix the border crisis and curb the flow of drugs after threatening tariffs. arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders joins us now. good morning, governor. >> good morning, thank you for having me this morning. >> ainsley: what was your reaction to that, not just canada and mexico, el salvador, venezuela, colombia, what happened with panama canal? >> this is a president who is tired of america getting ripped off and doing everything for so many different parts of the world, tired of a broken down border. both at our southern border and northern border and he wants our allies and partners to step up and their part to stopoverwhelming drug epidemic coming into the country,

overflow of illegal immigrants coming in and wants to see fair and free trade take place. we have a president who is going to stand up, fight for america and protect american interests. he campaigned on this and with the win he was delivered in november of last year, american people are demanding he deliver on it and he's doing exactly that. none of these things should come as a surprise, he talked about it, campaigned on it. >> ainsley: he is doing it, what are your predictions about his conversation with the president of china? they retaliated by saying 15% on usz coal and lng, and crude oil and agriculture machinery and large-engine cars coming into the u.s.? >> i think this conversation will be different, it is a different set of leadership in china.

tougher negotiation, but i like our odds. i will always bet on president tluchl, he's the ultimate dealmaker. this person is not going to be pushed around, not going to govern from a place of weakness we saw from joe biden over last few years. donald trump is coming in from a position of strength. what makes this different, we have a president who doesn't want to be dependent on foreign energy, he wants us to be independent and dominant and empower resources, making us competitive and gives him more leverage by opening up american energy. that is what he's done over last two weeks and what we can expect next four years. >> ainsley: the tariffs supposed to take places starting monday,

they are speaking today. thank you, governor. great to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> ainsley: dei initiatives in serbia and trans gender comic book in peru, what trump and doge are shutting down. lord, you know what's on our hearts. you know where we struggle. you know where we need to be pushed. help us give it all to you. the good, the bad. help us turn to you in everything we do. amen. i invite you to join me in more prayer on hallow, stay prayed up when emergency strikes, first responders are the first ones in... but on outdated networks, the crucial technology they depend on, is limited. that's why t-mobile created t-priority... ...the only solution built for the 5g era,

through usaid, we will determine if it is better through state department, that is process we are working through. there are things happening at uside we should not be funding, we have no choice but to take steps to bring this under control. >> steve: it has been dramatic, everybody has been told, you work from home, you are on leave and stuff like that. the problem is through decades, it drifted from goal of providing disaster relief and helping with poverty and democratization. they have spent hundreds of millions saying we can spend some place else. >> ainsley: the amount of waste, think about a single mom working two jobs, can't spend time with her kids because she has to put

food on the table. we are taking her tax dollars and using to pay for social agenda of other countries. senator eric schmitt said, we spent 20 million on sesame street shows in iraq, 52 million to boost tunisia tourism, 11 million to tell vietnam to stop burning trash. >> charlie: not even charity and you had charles payne talking about the programs. americans are the most generous on earth, nobody steps up more than american citizens. this is not charity to use tax dollars for this nonsense. >> steve: that whole department agency has been folded into department and state and marco rubio is at the head, we just heard him say they are looking

at things that are important and that will continue. the other stuff, maybe iraq can get their own darn sesame street on cable. >> ainsley: hand over to carley for headlines. >> carley: good morning. similar topic of saving money under donald trump, 20,000 federal workers are accepting the buyout offer allowing them to resign and be paid through sepulveda as part of attempt to restructure government. government employees have until thursday to accept the offer. spokespersons union leaders and politicians rejecting the offer are doing a serious disservice. so- so-called worst mayor in history was missing last night, six days after a fight broke out when she was called a degoratory word.

>> steve: this is going to bug you. a massive mojave desert solar plant may shut down 11 years into a 25 year contract after energy companies admitted how inefficient and expensive it costs to make the electricity. costing california residents more than other solar energy and as much as five times the price of natural gas, which, of course, is plentiful. kurt the cyber guy joins us now. what did you see? >> it's right there. i have a tech winner and loser. the loser this morning. big money losing flop. a giant five square mile solar power plant. if you fly from southern california to las vegas you will see it right there on the border on the california side. it looks sci-fi. it has three towers, collecting the sun beaming them into some power plant. the problem with this it now
