flat and we'll look and nobody is driving the truck. also, if i may, if i leave you today with a story we're tracking at cyber guy.com you notice on iphone the software updates keep coming at us more and more? it's because apple is having a hard time keeping up with threats and this time a zero day attack has been going on inside of ios and they finally patched it. it harkens back to what are we doing with no protection on our phones? if you don't have protection on your phones, go to cyber guy.com and look at the reviews. i don't care which one you pick, get one that protects all your devices. it is no longer an option. >> steve: at cyber guy.com it will show you how to do it. >> dana: rewiring washington. a fight over foreign aid reaching a fever pitch and the white house is digging in.

good morning, i'm dana perino. >> john: the special government employee elon musk leading the charge to reshape bureaucracy. latest target usaid. an agency that delivers humanitarian aid but according to musk it is chock full of waste. >> dana: secretary of state marco rubio is taking over as acting administrator and spoke to fox yesterday. he said the agency needs to fall in line. >> they think they are a global entity and their master is the globe and not the united states. >> can it be reformed or does it need to die? >> we have rank insubordination and an active effort. their attitude is we don't work for anyone. we work for ourselves. no agency of government can tell us what to do. >> dana: it's not the only agency that doge has set sights on. buy-outs for federal workers prompting protests in d.c.

administration is not budging and the department of education could be its next target. >> john: senator joni ernst of iowa and madeleine rivera has more on aid. let's go to hillary vaughn to kick us off. >> president trump promised to audit the government so taxpayers know how every dollar and cent is being spent. the best way to do that is to go where all the money flows. the u.s. treasury. but elon musk through doge having access to sensitive payment information at the treasury has democrats warning that he is engaged in a hostile takeover of our country. >> to give doge a choke hold on treasury payments is very dangerous like putting a tiger into a petting zoo. and then hoping for the best. >> we are living a nightmare created by donald trump and elon musk and we need to wake up.

>> musk said the democratic outreach is hysterical and explains why doge needed access to payment information in the first place saying the only way to stop fraud and waste of taxpayer money is follow the payment flows and pause suspicious transactions for review. this causes those who have been aiding, abetting and receiving fraudulent payments very upset, too bad. treasury secretary scott bessent who opened the doors of the treasury department to doge is being sued. union groups saying it is violating privacy. people who should information with the federal government should not be forced to share information with doge and federal law says they don't have to. doge is just doing the dirty work that no one else has bothered to do in d.c. >> some of the tofu eating people at the usaid are

screaming like they are part of a prison riot because they don't want us reviewing the spending. that's all mr. musk is doing. to my friends who are upset, i would say with respect, you know, call somebody who cares. >> so republicans say democrats may care that spending is being cut off but can't defend the wasteful spending that is actually being cut. >> john: there is the rub, isn't it? hillary vaughn on capitol hill. thank you. >> dana: madeleine rivera has the latest on the battle over usaid. >> good morning, dana. secretary of state marco rubio becoming the new acting director of usaid caps days of turmoil. yesterday protestors gathered outside the usaid headquarters in washington, d.c. reports of senior officials being put on leave, contractors being laid off, rubio has since authorized a review of usaid and lead to suspension or

elimination of some projects or missions if they don't align with national interests. >> this is taxpayer money, not my money or their money. it is our money, taxpayer money. we have an obligation if we do foreign aid to do it in a way that makes sense. >> foreign aid makes up less than 1% of the federal budget. supporters call usaid a symbol of american goodwill saying it promotes national security. critics argue usaid is seen as a slush fund doling out money for wasteful initiatives. $20 million for assess me street workshop in iraq or reintegration gift bags for deported migrants. 43% of the agency's awards did not receive all their intended results during fiscal years. democrats warn dismantling usaid will leave china to fill the void and shutdown would amount to an abuse of power. >> we know closing usaid is illegal.

donald trump does not have the authority to erase an independent agency created by congress. nor can the department of state absorb usaid because now there is basically nothing left to absorb. >> fallout over usaid is spreading. a democratic senator is trying to put holds on allstate department nominees. >> john: let's bring in joni ernst. what is going on in washington harkens back to your first campaign add when you talked about cutting pork. some of the programs at usaid that the white house has got its sights. 1 1/2 million to advance diversity, equity, inclusion in serbia business community, 70,000 for production of a d.e.i. musical in ireland. 2 1/2 million for electric vehicles in vietnam. 47,000 for transgender opera in columbia. transgender comic book in peru.

it goes on and on and on. marco rubio says there are a lot of comp programs at usaid. i don't expect any of those are what he is referring to. >> absolutely, john. and i have been on usaid's case for years now going back several years where i was trying to investigate the expenses for humanitarian aid when it came to the war in ukraine primarily. what my team and i encountered was absolute obstruction and lies coming out of usaid. they did everything possible to stop me from accessing their records to understand where our taxpayer money was going. i eventually partnered with representative mike mccaul in the house and we started a formal congressional investigation. even after that, they really pushed back, only allowed us access to a small amount of data. what they found was extreme

expenses on the part of them with very little data driven results. money funded in the wuhan institute of virology, on dangerous coronavirus. we saw how that turned out. funding going to morocco for pot pottery, tourism in lebanon even when the state department was advising against travel. i could go on and on and on, john and dana. >> dana: senator, the daily wire reports that 97% of political contributions from usaid employees went to democrats. this is democrats on elon musk' power. >> elon musk may get to be dictator of tesla but doesn't get to shut down the agency for international development. >> no one elected elon musk to dismantle it.

>> privileged bill airs who don't give a damn about america and americans should not be making decisions that put americans at harm. >> dana: what did they get wrong there? >> well, i think they got just about everything wrong. and so elon musk is spearheading the department of government efficiency and if it means ferreting out waste and fraud on behalf of americans, then i think he is doing a great job. he is operating at the direction of the president and what we have seen with usaid is just blatant disregard for what americans want to see and how they want their dollars spent around the globe. there are important projects. we acknowledge that. but we have to disrupt this system, ferret out the waste and get back to what we should be doing, and that's making sure that american interests are represented in supporting our allies and partners. >> john: certainly going through the federal budget with a

combine separating the wheat from the chaff, he has been named a special government employee. donald trump yesterday tried to assure elon musk's critics he doesn't have super powers. >> president trump: elon can't and won't do anything without our approval and we'll give him the approval where appropriate. where not appropriate, we won't. he reports in and he -- it's something that he feels very strongly about. >> john: something he feels strongly about because he is used to being in private enterprise and make miracles happen on low budgets. the idea that not everything he says is going to happen will happen. are the democrats overreaching here? >> i think we need change. the american people spoke to that last november. and this is exactly what we are going to do. it is going to be a very aggressive movement on the part of republicans, president trump

and elon musk and the department of government efficiency. the democrats need to get used to this. we are going to find ways to focus our american taxpayer dollars on the things that they should be spent on which is the the american people and our interests. we don't need to be wasting money on ridiculous items like seeing how fast shrimp can run on treadmills. i don't care about that and neither do the american people. so get ready for disruption. get used to disruption. let's get our federal government back on track and doing what we should be doing and not focusing on items of ridiculous ideology. >> john: great to spend time with you. thank you so much. >> always great to see you. thanks. >> john: major wins for the trump cabinet. senate confirming chris wright a former oil executive to serve as the next secretary of energy. eight democrats voted in favor.

he is a vocal supporter of fossil fuels and promoting u.s. energy dominance. the senate teeing up a final boat on pam bondi to lead the justice department. she faced tough questions from democrats but maintained full support from republicans. >> they will pay for that if they attempt to shoot at, take shots at, aggressively approach troops or border patrol agents. we won't stand for it ever. >> dana: cartels targeting border agents in response to president trump's immigration crackdown. tom homan on what comes next. plus canada and mexico both caving to the president's demands on tariffs. will beijing be next to pull back from the brink? crews are pulling the remains of american airlines flight 5342 out of the potomac river. what investigators hope to learn from the wreckage. >> airspace is safe.

>> dana: amid the search for victims crews are becoming the complex job of pulling the wreckage of the american airlines plane out of the potomac river after a blackhawk helicopter collided with it last wednesday and meantime transportation secretary sean duffy says he does have a plan for the future. >> we've seen cracks in the system, laura. there has been near misses continuously reported. that's a warning sign. let's get more air traffic controllers, let's -- let's upgrade air traffic control system. i feel good where we're at and going and the plans we have in place to make sure we even make

the system safer and more efficient than it is today. >> dana: the crash killed 64 people on the jet and three-person crew aboard the blackhawk. 55 victims have been removed from the river so far. >> john: president trump and china's xi could speak response today amid the trade stand-off. beijing hitting back at the u.s. with retaliatory tar ifs overnight after canada and mexico caved to trump's tariff threat yesterday. we have the details. >> given the rather limited scope of the retall yeah tore tariffs coming from china there is interest in a dialogue. the conversation between president trump and president xi jinping will happen as early as this week. it could mean today. according to the white house president trump's additional 10% tariff on all chinese goods kicked in after midnight. china is promising a 15% tariff

on coal and liquid gas and crude oil and agricultural machinery and large displacement cars coming from the u.s. set to take effect on the 10th. china said it would launch an investigation into google to see if it violated antitrust laws if a deal can't be reached. president trump is two for three. trudeau announced a 30 day pause and tariffs because canada is implementing the 1.3 billion border plan reinforcing the border with choppers and personnel and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. that security thing coming out of candidate is appointing a fentanyl czar. designating cartels at terrorists and a joint task force to fight org knifesed crime. mexico agreeing to deploy 10,000 troops to its southern border in exchange for a tariff delay. >> president trump: the 10,000 soldiers will keep illegal aliens out and they will keep

them out seriously out and otherwise they will have a big penalty. mexico will be penalized. they won't come through mexico anymore and not going to let the fentanyl come in from china. and china hopefully will stop sending us fentanyl. >> the white house has reiterated this is a drug war, not a trade war. >> john: the drug war can sometimes ignite a trade war. we'll see what happens. >> dana: let's bring in kevin o'leary coming to us from tokyo today. president trump this morning will talk to the leader of china. the "wall street journal" headline is beijing prepares its opening bid to talk trade with trump as white house fires 10% tariff salvo china sees room to negotiate. president trump sthad about china yesterday. >> president trump: what i have discussed is we'll have some good meetings with china. we have meetings planned and we'll see what happens.

but that was just an opening salvo. if we can't make a deal with china the tariffs will be very substantial. >> dana: mexico and canada were motivated to try to get to a deal with president trump yesterday and got a 30-day pause. do you think president xi is of similar mind? >> no, i don't. i think china is a completely unique situation. very different than mexico, very different than canada. china, since 1999 when they joined the wto has never abided by the rules in any single year and they certainly don't abide by i.p. law. and clearly the fentanyl issue has been outstanding for years. in addition to that, from a manufacturing point of view, a company we know well apple does a massive amount of job creation and manufacturing there. i think the china deal is more complex and if u.s. companies

never get i.p. reciprocation it is an economic war that is unique. an a.i. war and may become a military war one day. china is just completely different. they need a lot more squeezing than just this. i thought 400% would be a good place to start. you can't compare these three situations. they're all different but china is a big, big, big problem and i'm not sure this is going to be resolved on a weekend deal. >> dana: i didn't know about that tax loophole that allowed you to buy a lot of things from china under a certain amount of money. that could maybe hurt china or am i reading too much into that? >> there is a law there. the biggest problem is if you manufacture there in the last 20 years, you would find your i.p. as soon as the product has proved successful to be all over the world at a significant discount and stolen from you and manufactured by the same plant

in some cases and went online sales began with amazon and now others you could take the product down with i.p. support from the american legal system but there is no system in china that you can be reciprocal. you can't litigate for your i.p. can't use that your court systems. you can't do anything. i think that's more of the issue. i have a feeling china would like to play with the big boys and be part of the g7. they have to come up to speed with all the rules the other g7 countries play with. this is probably the beginning of something much bigger with china and maybe have a good outcome at some point. but we're in the very first inning. i wouldn't say the game has started. not the first inning. this has put the highlight on something. >> dana: wanted to ask you about this. president trump talked about the possibility of creating a sovereign wealth fund for the united states. maybe that would be something to

take over tiktok. watch. >> president trump: we'll have a sovereign wealth fund that we've never had. we have a lot of things that create wealth. we'll be doing something perhaps with tiktok and perhaps not if we make the right deal we'll do it, otherwise we won't. i have the right to do that and we might put that in the sovereign wealth fund. >> dana: what do you think of that idea? >> well, you know, tiktok is really trump's deal now. if he wants to have ownership of tiktok through a sovereign wealth fund i'm sure that's fine. the point is, tiktok deal is a little more complex right now and i'm pretty close to it. the designer and founder of tiktok that created the algorithm, the question is how do you buy that and still comply with the laws of congress and the order of the supreme court? and that's where i think things will get interesting. frank mccourt and i may have found a way to do it. we have to test it. obviously oversight.

never a problem raising capital. this loss of interest there is can we get the man to the table and a joint venture with the founder and genius that created the algorithm. no one ever got that must market share ever. it doesn't use influencers. you go on tiktok, it is not about any individual that you are following. you are following content that you like, that the algorithm figured out you enjoy. for me watches and guitars. for someone else something else. he will have to be part of the deal,y ming and we'll have to comply with the order of courts. we'll see what happens here. if there is a sovereign wealth available and put in a few billion 100% absolutely. >> dana: why are you in tokyo stretching new muscles? >> i've always believed if you want to stay sharp in your life spend 30% of your day pursuing things outside of your comfort zone. being a scripted actor is

outside of my comfort zone. i have never had to read and learn this many lines before. by the way, the producer just changed them an hour ago. i have to learn these lines before 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. i'm working on a movie called marti supreme. this is one crazy film, crazy. >> dana: great to join us all the way from there and good luck on memorizing those lines. take care. >> take care, thank you. >> john: he has his fingers in so many pies. robert f. kennedy, jr. facing a critical vote today. soon the finance committee will decide if his nomination advances to the full senate floor. not all republicans are behind him. anti-deportation protestors take to the streets and a nationwide day without immigrants stay with us. >> people have been working hard. doing their thing out here in this country and l.a.

dana. [chanting and shouting] . >> dana: president trump's immigration crackdown prompting protests across the country. demonstrations were billed as a day without immigrants. jonathan hunt has more on the disruptions in l.a. hi, jonathan. >> good morning, dana. for the second day running protestors caused chaos on major roadways in l.a. as part of what seems likely to become an ongoing protest movement against president trump's raids to arrest and deport violent illegal immigrants. on monday the protestors, some waving mexican flags, gathered at city hall and marched through downtown l.a. marking what they called a day without immigrants. but the daylight hours police simply watched the protest march which included families with children who had organized a school walk-out as part of the protest.

the families largely drifted away as night fell and ring leaders seemed more intent on blocking traffic as they did sunday when they shut down part of the 101 freeway in l.a. at that point police declared an unlawful assembly. some of the protestors followed the orders and others did not. a number of people were brief life detained. as arrests of illegal immigrants continue across the country, l.a. city council, which formally declared los angeles a sanctuary city in november, is set today to consider several new measures designed to help immigrants amid the trump administration's crackdown. the five proposals including requiring businesses to report to the city any workplace raids, audits or other federal immigration enforcement actions and a no your rights campaign to inform residents about the protections available to them. on both sides, dana, this seems

to be just the opening salvos in what is likely to be an ongoing battle between local authorities in this sanctuary city and federal agents charged with following through on president trump's policies. >> dana: i just said to our producers l.a. can't buy a break after all you've been through and now this. thank you so much. john. >> john: democrats threatening to hit back at president trump. "new york magazine" with the headline democrats may shut down the government to keep trump from gutting it. co-chair michael whatley is with us now. senator murray said this. she didn't really hint too much toward a government shutdown. here is what she said. it's extremely difficult to reach an agreement on top lines in a budget when the president is illegally shutting critical agencies and unelected billionaire is empowered to force his way into government central highly sensitive payment system at the treasury department.

those would all seem to be things a lot of people in this country voted for and they are thinking of opposing. >> president trump ran and won on a common sense agenda. this is exactly what he has taken over the last two weeks. his first steps toward implementing right now and we're seeing implement the agenda he ran on and exactly where we need to be as a country. this is a popular agenda and a popular place for him to be. his numbers are very high. democrat numbers are low for a reason. the american people want change. the president is bringing change. >> john: on the notion to shut down the government hakeem jeffries was asked about that. listen to this exchange. >> do you believe you can shut down the government if trump -- [inaudible] >> the appropriations process a ongoing. our hope to find bipartisan agreement to fund the government to meet the needs of the american people. >> john: if they did try to move to a shutdown they would blame

it on republicans. >> it's a losing issue. every time the republicans shut down the government they've gotten crushed. democrats would go into the same bucket. the american people want progress on this agenda. they want a southern border that will be restored. they want a secure budget. they want to make sure our economy is moving forward. they want to make sure america is strong enough on the world stage to protect the our interests. they want to keep our communities safe. this is what donald trump ran on. this is what he is implementing starting day one. >> john: the dnc had a big meeting last week where they elected a new chair, ken martin. democrats seem to double down on identity politics and things that lost them the election back in november. here is what "the new york times," call for number four, wrote about the meeting and where democrats are headed. we have no co-herent message. the party is struggling to decide what it believes in. what issues to prioritize and

how to confront an aggressive right wing administration some were asking for a restructuring. martin said we have the right message. it didn't work well in november. >> then we saw with joe biden and kamala harris is a bad messenger. the fact is it's a bad message. american people don't support open borders, a weak america. that's why donald trump won and why we have a republican house and republican senate. his agenda right now is getting great reviews, bipartisan reviews and there is strong support across this country for a strong southern border, a strong economy and strong america. that's why the democrats right now are in complete freefall. imploding as a party because they believe that their message, which is popular with 20 or 30% of the country, will get them into the majority. it is not. >> john: there was a moment at the dnc meeting that summed it

up when jamie harrison was trying to tell folks the rules for a vote. listen here. >> on this next ballot you will be able to vote for two candidates of any gender on the next ballot. if two candidates receive -- i will turn to clarify this last part. >> you may vote for two males, two females, two of any gender. no, you can't do that. we have to balance. you could vote for one of any gender, okay? non-binary gender, excuse me. >> i heard one discussion about that after another. what i never heard in that meeting was how do we lower prices? how do we keep our communities safe? how do we protect the southern border and make america better for every family? right now the republicans are focused on every family across

both israel and the u.s. are going to take in order to begin implementing the second phase of the deal. we are putting our trust in president trump. >> dana: answers could soon be coming for those grieving hostage families. later today president trump will hold a joint news conference at the white house with prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel. the two leaders share a close relationship. goes back years. it will be trump's first joint news conference with a foreign leader in his new term. a persistent problem on college campuses, anti-israel protestors disrupting everyday life and creating an intimidating environment for jewish students and faculty. the trump justice department is launching a task force to combatant i semitism following the president's executive order calling for the deportation of anti-israel protestors and hamas sympathizers, joining us now is noah rubin, senior at the university of pennsylvania and former president of the

penn/israel public affairs committee. the executive order all resident aliens who joined in the protests we put you on notice. come 2025 we'll find you and deport you. i will also quickly cancel the student visas of all hamas sympathizers on college campuses invested with radicalism like never before. did that executive order reach the ears of people on campus? >> 100%. i just first want to thank you for covering this. this executive order is so important because this is not a free speech issue, this is not a first amendment issue. this is true violence that we've seen on campus. the videos you've been showing on screen. jewish students are being intimidated and physically harassed. people breaking the laws and we're not prosecuting or holding them accountable in the ways we should be. and so i think this executive order says we won't tolerate this anymore and a great first

step. >> dana: do you think there are pro-jihadist protestors there on your campus that could be deported? >> i think there are pro-jihadist students, professors and people that aren't even affiliated with the university both here and across the country. we saw insane things on a very regular basis praising hamas, physically harassing students, you know, they do chants that intentionally intimidate students. they pointed at students at u penn campus. i personally had to avoid class and certain parts of campus. and so i'm just like many of the other students here who want to go to class. we came here to learn. we did not come here to break the law. and we actually when we signed up we agreed to a code of conduct and, of course, as being citizens in the united states we agreed to the laws that we have here and so we don't have to

expect to defend the laws ourselves. we're students. >> dana: has the administration of u penn said anything after this executive order came out? >> they have not to my knowledge. i can tell you i have been in so many meetings with administrators and over time they just, you know, say we're so sorry. we -- maybe you need counseling or therapy. they don't take these issues seriously in my view and it is a serious problem. we need to take these issues seriously because they are posing danger to the students. >> dana: still disrupting classes and your ability to study? >> this week it hasn't disrupted anything on u penn's campus but always a fear among jewish students that anything could happen on the turn of these radicals' ideologies. when they decide to come and

riot they will do that and not assured we'll be able to be kept safe. >> dana: president trump will meet with netanyahu later today. the former ambassador to israel what do numbers 15 and 1,283 have in common? the number of days it took trump and biden to receive prime minister netanyahu at the white house. says it all. a final word on your hopes for this meeting and the future? >> i really hope that we can see president trump really just show the american people and israeli people how strong the relationship is. another thing i want to bring up is turkey hosted hamas leaders last week, erdogan. turkey is a nato ally and we need president trump not only to show we support israel and we need to bring all the hostages home, including the american citizens, including the babies, but also that president trump is going to retake a leadership role on the global stage in nato
