today, the cease-fire in gaza. a truce the president says is not guaranteed to hold. >> meantime, terms tariffs to stand up with china -- remains in place after securing tentative deals with canada and mexico. beijing has countered his 10% levy on importing goods for retaliatory tariffs. senator rand paul on deck to react. first, alexandria hoff has more from the white house. >> good to be with you. given the somewhat limited scope of the retaliatory tariffs posed by china, it's clear that there is interest in a dialogue, president trump and president xi jinping are slated to talk as early as this week. it's expected to happen sometime this week. lightly not today because of the time change. president trump's tariff on all chinese goods kicked in shortly after midnight. >> we will have some good meetings with china. we have meetings planned. we will see what happens. that was just an opening salvo.

if we can't make a deal with china, the tariffs will be very, very substantial. >> china is promising similar. intern, they are promising a 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas products and crude oil and machinery coming from cars. that is set to take place on the tenth. china said they will investigate google to see if they violated antitrust laws. they could take a step further, prohibiting the export of rare earth materials. that will be a big deal. that's all of a deal cannot be reached. this week, president trump is 2 for 3. canadian prime minister justin trudeau announcing yesterday, a 30 day pause on tariffs over a promise to boost border security. the plan enclosed nearly 10,000 frontline personnel, pointing at fentanyl's are and designating cartels as terrorists. launching a joint strike force with the u.s. to fight organized crime. mexico has also agreed to deploy 1010,000 troops to the border in

exchange for a tariff delay. it remains to be seen if this'll make a dent in reducing fennell poisonings. the white house has reiterated all day that -- fentanyl poisonings. the white house has reiterated its a drug war, not a trade war. >> thank you. >> this is taxpayer money. it's not my money, it's not their money: it's our money, taxpayer money. we have an obligation, if we are going to do foreign aid, to do it in a way that makes sense. >> newly appointed secretary of state marco rubio on usaid, after announcing that the agency tasked with humanitarian aid will be under the state department, after critics argue it's wasting taxpayer dollars on projects that invest in plans like dei. we have this committee chairman brian mast on deck. first, mattie rivera with more. >> a lot of turmoil surrounding this issue. usaid buildings remain closed today. the acting head of the agency at secretary of state marco rubio

says a review is being done of usaid. rubio said this is not about getting rid of foreign aid. he argues usaid has veered off course from its original mission of advancing american interests abroad. there also reports that usaid has fallen short of its goals for some projects in years past. republicans have pointed out usaid has spent $20 million for a sesame street workshop in iraq, $1.5 million to advance dei in serbia's workplaces and business committees. it has given $6 million to fund a tourism in egypt, all initiatives republicans say are not -- are just plain wasteful. >> i've been on the case for years now. going back several years where i was trying to investigate the expenditures for humanitarian aid, primarily when it came to the war in ukraine. what my team and i encountered was absolute obstruction and lies coming out of usaid. >> supporters say usaid has

helped counter russian and chinese influence around the world. they also said the 90 day freeze the president has up limits and on foreign aid not only threatens lives, but livelihoods too. design and colorado-based contractor -- 70% of its revenue from the usaid work order. its ceo says they are considering layoffs within the end of the month if the situation doesn't change. >> one of my frustrations, what i'm trying to push, is we can review this portfolio. we can look at aid. we can look at things to improve, but let's do it while we are working. there is no need to stop business, to stop industry. small businesses will not make it 90 days. >> democrats say the organization of usaid -- reorganization cannot be done without legal approval. perhaps another legal battle for the trump administration in the coming days and weeks. >> and megan hayes was saying

the same thing. why shut it down, go through it with a fine-tooth comb and keep the funding that's necessary to keep a lot of these businesses. thank you. >> more on the usaid fight in just a moment, but first, john's upcoming meeting with benjamin netanyahu. spring house foreign affairs committee chairman brian mast. e joins us live. thank you for joining the program. please tell us what we should expect from this meeting. >> with prime minister neta netanyahu, you will hear a discussion about the capabilities they have to counter iran pick what they have destroyed that has not been given on open-source information, the networks that won't continue to exist for mike thomas, has below, things going on with syria. what we need to know for national security and terrorism across this field. it will be very apprehensive about what has taken place and what will be the path forward. >> the ambassador to united nations road a piece at fox news digital today about the upcoming -- he said that trump/net yahoo meeting has three things on the agenda that

could change the middle east. "the two leaders will convene tuesday afternoon to discuss the next phase of the hostage release framework. the iranian threat as well as prospective saudi/israeli normalization." they are important issues of course, but the idea of renewing talks on expanding the abraham accords to include saudi arabia, that was the deal they almost got done before hamas lead -- october 7th. if they can get that deal done in the days and weeks ahead, how would that change the modern face of the middle east? >> when you have that is the way forward like we were discussing, that you have another country that is going in there saying they are not looking for concession from israel as it relates to gaza, in all likelihood. they are accepting that gaza had been the aggressor continually, year after year, launching target attacks, stabbings, bus bombings, you name it, and they are ready to normalize with israel. that is an important domino to fall in terms of the way they

move forward, and what they demand or do not demand as it relates to any relationship with palestinians. that's the biggest linchpin that takes place in what goes forward. >> now, to secretary of state marco rubio, this usaid fight that's happening right now. he is the acting director of usaid. he spoke about this with rich edson in el salvador. i want to get your reaction to this. listen. >> their basic attitude is we don't work for anyone. we work for ourselves. no agency of government can tell us what to do. there are things happening at usa that we should not be involved in, or that we have a lot of questions about, but they are uncooperative. we have no choice but to take dramatic steps to bring this under control. >> so what dramatic steps can you get behind here, congressman? >> everything marco rubio is doing i am behind. he is saying that very nicely. the reason they have to shudder these doors is they will go in,

they will delete these things off of servers. they will work to hide them. they will simply say we are not going to tell you. in front of me, i have three or four pages of just provocative things they were spending money on, from half a million dollars in indonesia to help teach coffee companies how to be more gender-friendly, to giving millions of dollars to people in the caribbean for just being lgbtq. the same in serbia, other places. the list goes on of where they are burning your money in ways that once making america the partner of choice. again, i have pages of these. >> congressman, that is in fact -- it's definitely true, but at the same time, usaid does fund a lot of legitimate businesses and do good work around the world that's not related to any of those things that many people are calling a frivolous expense on taxpayer money. why shut it down for 90 days? we were just moments ago that there is a company out west

called causal design. the problem is -- payroll and stay afloat if this 90 day pause actually takes place. why not go through it with a fine-tooth comb? change the administration, but not shut down the funding that is so desperately needed by some of these businesses that are legitimate? >> i don't think you can do it that way, because of the way that they do this. i chaired fair and affairs -- i chaired foreign affairs oversight for the last couple of years. they will lie to your face, even if you are holding up a document that says "this shows what you're doing, here is her signature on it." "no, that's not what we did those quotes. you have to do it in this way because of the way they have acted. again, they are not asking questions across the board, even if they are providing aid. these three important questions: what does america need from the country or region? what does that country or region actually want from america? most of the time, it's not drag

shows, it is not teaching them gender identity. it is not giving them comic books related to trends and other things. they want something to from from us. you also have to ask: does what we provide if we provide something, doesn't get america what it needs or what it's asking for? usaid it systemically across the board has not been looking at the world or asking those questions in that way. >> congressman bill cates weighed in on "the view." he is warning that millions could die if this when it comes to an end. >> partners with usaid on nutrition, getting vaccines out. there is incredible people. they are not actually worms that work there. hopefully, we will get some of that work back in shape. if we don't, you could have literally millions of deaths. >> and you say what, congressman? >> everyone of those groups

working with usaid has the ability -- and they know the process -- to apply to usaid and secretary rubio to this is where we are saving lives. please grant an exception for this. they know how to apply. some people are saying they don't. they do. the other thing is this is not the baby being thrown out with the bathwater, as people sometimes say. lgbtq, trans, dei initiatives were not the exception or outlier: they were the rule of what was going on. when you look at these lists come principally to see everything they were doing, you start to realize that. >> congressman, we will keep following this the sewer goes and whether the 90 day -- stay in effect. appreciate your time, sir. >> thank you. >> thank you.

against elon musk and his doge actions. looking to reshape the federal government, but his measures are now raising some legal questions peter fox business' hillary vaughn on the hill. what agencies is a doge setting its sights on? >> no government agency is untouchable when it comes to accounting for how american taxpayer money is being sent. the next agency that has been doge'd as the sm small business administration. elon musk has asked them for their pay history and contracts. discover white arctic is disturbing some democrats, particularly to the treasury department's payment system. chuck schumer: what doge is doing "a hostile takeover of the government." >> elon musk took issues to my warning that doge is operating in many ways like a shadow government. give me a break. nothing screams democracy like

having a secret squad of company men pull off a hostile takeover of america social security and tax information in the dead of night. >> elon musk is hitting back at schumer, saying he's mad doge is dismantling the radical left's shadow government in full view of the public. "this is our one chance to turn power to the people from an unelected bureaucracy to democracy." treasury secretary scott vincent, the man who opened the doors of the treasury department, is being sued. union groups filing the lawsuit states violating their privacy. people who must "share information with the federal government should not be forced to share information with elon musk or his doge, and federal law says they do not have to." they say it's just doing the math, adding up every dollar sense of taxpayer money being spent. >> the democrats need to get used to this. we are going to find ways to focus our american taxpayer dollars on the things they

should be spent on. i would get ready for disruption. get used to disruption. >> elon musk may have his eyes set on the irs next. he posted a poll on x, asking if people wanted to see doge audit the tax agency. >> hillary vaughn live on the hill, thinking. >> that would be a turnabout. canada and mexico striking an 11th hour deal with president trump. trade -- trying to avoid a trade war. trump is doing tariffs against japan. is tariffs on chinese goods went into effect today, and china hitting back with its own economic retaliatory measures. while several republican lawmakers are praising trump's, kentucky senator rand paul is sounding off, and he is joining us now. you posted on x the following on saturday. "tariffs are taxes. conservatives once again united against new taxes. tax and trade will mean less trade in higher prices." would put that yesterday to the

president's trade advisor peter navarro. here is his response. >> it's a drug war, not a trade war. anybody was talking about inflation right now is dishonoring the men and women and children who have died at the hands of chinese, mexican, canadian fentanyl, coming across our borders. that's what this is about. >> what do you say to peter navarro? >> tariffs are taxes. anything that increases the cost of a good will ultimately increase its price. generalized inflation or a generalized increase in prices is caused by debt, and the federal reserve buying the debt at a devaluation of every dollar. individual prices going up in areas where there are tariffs absolutely happens. it does affect trade. if you look at -- there are still people in congress wanting to give farmers a bailout from the effects tariffs had in 2018

and 2019. when we put tariffs on china, china quit buying as much of our agricultural goods, and our farmers suffered. there are still people wanting to subsidize them for the harm they felt from tariffs. the best way to look at tariffs is the scene and the unseen. you can seat the steelworkers you might help, but you don't see the 80 workers who by next you'll for everyone worker making steel that suffers from higher prices. without question, tariffs raise prices and are good for trade, as leverage and negotiation -- of course, the president was the ultimate negotiator. he did get mexico to send some troops, and he got canada to step up their patrols. as a negotiating weapon, they value -- as long as we never enact them. they are a disaster for trade and the consumer. >> with all due respect, and good to have you on the program. thanks for being here. i didn't hear your direct response to mike navarro from the white house, saying this isn't a trade war, this is a

drug war. he, referencing your tweet and your take on these tariffs by saying you are dishonoring to men and women and children who have died at the hands of the chinese, mexican, canadian fentanyl coming across our borders. to that you say what? >> it's a ridiculous statement to say that people are against tariffs are for the fentanyl trade, because it's not true. everything we can do to stop the federal trade from mexico and -- fentanyl trade from mexico and canada, we should do. part of it is them allowing it to come through, but part of it is in mexico, about one-sixth of mexico is not in control of the government. i applaud the president for pushing mexico into saying "we will put troops on the border," and the remaining mexico policy will be in place. all of those are a good i think we are all on the same side on that. tariffs as an economic policy or a disaster -- are a disaster for the consumer. the average price the consumer will pay even if tariffs are

just on china is about $1,000 more. every american will be about $1,000 less rich because of these tariffs. >> this washington dashboard is not a fan of the trumpet tariff strategy. made mention of that yesterday in the oval office. here is with the editorial board wrote after the deals were struck with mexico and canada. he said "trump blinks -- north american tariffs. the president pauses after minor concessions from mexico and canada. trump never admits a mistake but often changes his mind. that's the best way to read his decision monday, paul is forming 25% tariffs against him to and canada, after minor concessions from each country. >> do you agree? do you believe these were minor concessions, or were they more? >> you know i'm not a big fan of tariffs. i think he did have a successful -- the victorious for trump. he's got in the wall as part of mexico, the president since 10,000 troops up there. >> you can take --

even though i don't agree with the economic benefit of tariffs. i do think he did use the negotiating leverage -- -- >> have you seen a direct impact on your state? another governors appeal to the kentucky delegation. washington saying "help us out" specifically the bourbon industry. $9 billion, 23,000 people. what's your warning on that front economically? >> we are still suffering from some of the effects of the berman industry from the last round of tariffs. europe responded to that go around and raised tariffs on bourbon. it did affect our international bourbon sales. we also make a lot of cars in kentucky. the car manufacturers -- the price of still going up hurts the car manufacturers.

we have a lot of international shippers. sending packages around the world. to a person, almost all of our major industries -- coming up and saying they don't want tariffs because trade has made us wealthier estate and as a country. >> near the canadian prime minister encouraging canes the other day that if tariffs go into effect instead of buying kentucky bourbon, buy canadian whiskey. >> that would be a downgrade. those are fighting words. that would be a downgrade. [laughter] nothing better than kentucky bourbon. i don't want hear that on fox news now. >> i was going to say with all due respect to my former countrymen, one of my formative experiences was going to my uncles -- they would make manhattan's. >> even if you were just a kid, you probably got a little bit for medicinal purposes, right? >> note. it was just the smell. >> need a few more cherries and

that manhattan. >> thank you so much. >> we are learning more about the first military flights with team of migrants headed for guantanamo bay. new details on how the detail is preparing. >> they will pay for that. aggressively approach troops -- virtually. we are not going to stand forever. >> defense secretary pete hegseth for warning for cartels as a new member highlights the dangers our border patrol agents are facing. retired ice special agent -- was killed by a cartel. victor jones is next.

>> the first to come military flights of detained migrants had to guantanamo bay, where 300 u.s. troops away at their arrival. defense secretary pete hegseth, when pressed on the criticism for the new detained in center,

had this to say. >> you have the heart into that have been open since 9/11, where we held the worst of the worst. that is were folks like -- if you are a violent gang banger and you have been taken out of the country and we are waiting to bring you to your country, we will put you in a cellblock built for al qaeda. >> chief national security respondent -- what do we know about these flights? >> fox news has confirmed the first military flight of about a dozen migrants will leave for north texas later today and arrive at the naval station in bay sometime later today. goes migrants will be housed in the secure detention facility that's been used for military combatants since 9/11. the pentagon has ordered 300 marines to help build ten toes, latrines, showers and a separate part of the navy base, after the president signed a memorandum that directed dod and dhs to "provide additional detention space for high priority criminal

aliens." hegseth, at the southern border yesterday -- vowed to make room for up to 30,000 migrants at the naval station, which he has repeatedly pointed out was use as a way station for thousands of haitian and cuban migrants in the 1990s. >> how about a maximum security prison like guantanamo bay, where we would have the space? >> we have a migrant processing center for decades. -- except this time we will hold the worst of the worst. >> the clinton administration had tens of thousands of migrants at guantanamo bay that's been used many times o over. >> but that was before 9/11, and a supreme court decision that gave anyone since they are the right to habeas corpus. in other words, the right to a lawyer anther day in court. that 2,000 decision -- the supreme court ruled individuals in guantanamo bay can challenge

the legality of their detention. it has been a factor that for years slowed the government's ability to complete the prosecution of khalid sheikh mohammed and other 9/11 planners. right now, there aren't enough beds at gitmo for an influx of migrants pick the marines have set up tents for about 1,000 people as of now, but those are not secure areas. hegseth has said they may use the golf course there to put up tents for 6000 migrants. would not rule out sending migrant families to gitmo and putting hardened gang members in with the 15 remaining detainees captured after 9/11. it's not clear whether this plan is legal and whether they migrants who are taken there will suddenly have a right to a lawyer, which will begin a long legal process that could prevent the u.s. government from deporting them to their final destination. >> jennjennifer griffin with the latest. thank you. >> border patrol agents under --

cartel chiefs reportedly ordering the members to attack u.s. agents with kamikaze drones and explosives. all this as a trump administration is keeping up its pressure to crackdown on illegal migrants. retired ice special agents -- whose partner was killed by a cartel. for reactions well this. thank you so much for joining us. how do you react to these cartels ordering members to attack border agents? >> well, it shows a desperation of the cartels, because of the securing of the border. they still want to bring the fence the fence and i'll still want to bring the bodies -- human trafficking , human trafficking -- they still want to bring the fence and all, the human trafficking through. now, you get the u.s. military and mexican military. it will make it difficult for them, which i believe is going to make the cartels react. there is going to be a reaction from the cartels. i know personally how violent

these cartels are. i believe the u.s. governments, especially having our secretary of defense at the border, understanding the threat that they face, especially our border agents on the line from any possible attack or violent aggression towards our law enforcement agents. >> you can see secretary pete hegseth at the border, el paso, texas. that's on monday. i want to put this up for the screen, the fox digital article on mexican cartels targeting border patrol agents with kamikaze drones and explosives amid this trump crackdown. an internal memo cited to title "officer safety alert," a warning to federal agents -- "the new york post" reported. agents are reminded to be cognizant "of their surroundings and should be wearing their ballistic armor and utilizing their long firearms." quite a situation they have to deal with. more to deal with, i should say. tom homan, the border czar, reacted earlier on fox to these

cartel threats. >> more difficult for them to make money. it will become violent. you are going to see violence on the border. we know it's coming. border patrols are prepared. it's great to have the military on the southern border. they are prepared -- cannot harm any border patrol agent or soldier. president trump would apply great force. he has the capability of wiping these cartels off the face of the earth. >> says they are prepared, they know this is coming, but gosh this is scary from many of those border agents who have to deal with this. >> let me tell you why, senator, a lot of those memos -- it's because of what is happening in mexico. you've got a full out war on two sides of mexico. one on the other side of arizona, the sonora desert. the cartel, massive daily firefights. just the last couple of days, on the other side of laredo, texas, there was a capture of the

number two guy in the cartel committee cartel northeast. extreme firefights. you would think these fights and shooting is happening in iraq, but it's not: it's right next to our country. as a matter fact, there is reports of one of these drones the cartel used against one of their other cartel members with a bomb. this is what we are dealing with. we are dealing with terrorists, and i believe that president trump is right in designating them as terrorists. we have to deal with them as such. the dod resources. i'm glad i'm glad to see him joined forces with dhs. we will have to bring everyone here to combat these guys. they are not going to put their hands up and give themselves up. they are going to fight, although we will bring it to them if that's what they intend to do. going to see -- very important what happens in the next 30 days with mexico and the 10,000 troops, and what else that will bring to the table. >> i want to finish with a final thought as we put up a picture

of your partner killed in 2011 by the cartel. this cartel -- he was exited by the cartel. i know that you have been on a mission ever since. if you like you were making progress? >> every time have had the opportunity to speak in conferences here, i always ha have -- this is going up next week. there is not a day that goes by where i don't think about him and the sacrifice that they gave, defending our homeland. i have tried to continue to do that and have everybody remember the sacrifice. a lot of people unfortunately do not know that. just know that the men and women of dhs and all law enforcement agencies around the world are doing this on a daily basis, and we have to commend them for that. they are in a very dangerous situation. they continue to look out for us.

now, with all the changes as fast as you see them happening under the trump administration, its welcome. >> our viewers know his name, and you are out there spreading the word and trying to make things better. we appreciate that. come back soon. thank you so much. speak of this central location. >> intelligence committee just voted to report tulsi gabbard's nomination to be the director of national intelligence favorably to the full united states senate. we look forward to her confirmation and working with her. >> how soon will this be on the floor, senator? >> that's two in a row: rfk this morning and now tulsi gabbard moves out of committee. was good our senior congressional correspondent who you heard throw a question to the senator from -- what was the vote? >> the vote was 9-8. it was along party lines. there's been movement toward confirming tulsa gabbard in the past 24 hours. columns that the republican senator from maine -- who said that she was assured, todd young, the republican

senator from india and said that he got certain assurances from her. he spoke with the president. he spoke with the vice president. he says he spoke with elon musk. todd young said he also believes that members of the intelligence community will be okay with tulsa gabbard. he says "i've done my work. i've done my vetting. i've done what i think as a former marine corps intelligence officer is consistent with national security close was. if republicans are to stick together, they should be able to move this nomination across the floor. we think there might be a couple of other senators on the republican side of the aisle who are not on the intelligence committee who could have reservations with her. we think that most democrats if not all would be opposed, but tulsa gabbard is en route to the senate floor. that's not going to happen right away. as you heard from the senator, probably sometime next week. >> we will be looking forward to that. thank you. appreciate it. now, that's. >> his mother got into the hospital bed and laid next to him.

part of the problem whether they are corrupt or threatened by the cartels. they sometimes become a part of the machine. how will you, how can this president ensure this doesn't happen? >> we will work with the mexican government. we want them, need them as partners. i think the president has a good plan. i believe that we are going to start identifying the corrupt officials in mexico, work with united states attorneys, and try to hold the mechanical as well. >> that would be a big change from what we have seen the last few years. congratulations on the appointments. it's good to have seen you the last few years. >> president trump vowing to cut costs. we'll be the end of the department of education?

>> the trump team preparing to take aim at the department of education reportedly discussing an executive order that would completely dismantle the department. madison is on this for us. the move requires congressional approval, doesn't it? >> it does. it would require congressional approval but that doesn't seem to be stopping president trump. fox asked the white house if they are preparing an executive order to demolish it and the

president plans to fulfil a campaign promise by reevaluating the future of the department of education. press secretary caroline levitt confirmed as much this morning on fox visits. >> he campaigned on that promise and the american people can expect him to deliver on it. >> reporter: officials reportedly discuss an executive order to shut down functions of the department not written into statute and move certain ones to other agencies. trump has already taken action when it comes to education signing executive orders last week on choice and ending funding for schools that support what the white house calls quote racial indoctrination. closing down the department of education could be next. advocates are warning that could have dire consequences. >> if we need to out educate china and outcompete which i know we need to have federal policy that actually shows how to do that.
