a lot of the chiefs are already in new orleans but a lot of the folks who are big supporters are absolutely here in kansas city because they are going to be watching on tv and jasper, come on over here. [cheers] >> steve: jasper we met him a couple years ago when we were at the big biscuit when the kansas city chiefs won the first one. >> that's right. >> steve: he is kind of in the way back machine for the doocy family. my sister used to work for him in the 80's. i you brought the trophy because you have the connection what do you have in your pocket? >> i have in my deck. >> steve: go get it. i got the players over there. >> steve: six kansas city chiefs coming in to play pickleball. who wants to play pickleball with those guys?

is going to have a one-on-one with the president and the extra time that the president will probably give him will be on his show the next day. that will be great. >> lawrence: plus him and sean hannity have a commercial together. >> ainsley: real cute. you can watch the bloopers, too. i posted the original video what you are going to see during the commercials on the super bowl. and sean had it on his show the other night. post the bloopers they are cute. our news and "primetime" coming together. they are really good friends. >> brian: fox entertainment announced that they are going to have sean and bret live together and do a reality show. [laughter] >> brian: always try to launch something big on the super bowl. that's going to be interesting for you because you might not be allowed in. lanes. >> ainsley: i will stay in new york. usually reality shows the relationships break up. so i will not be a part of that. exactly. >> brian: can two men an anchor and opinion host actually get along? da da da. i can see that and wear eye black the whole. >> lawrence: now he is executive

producer. >> brian: it's just an idea. >> ainsley: tom brady's first super bowl game as aan announcer here on fox. >> brian: interesting to build on what you were saying they were saying i was talking to boomer esiason he said i called the super bowl and i played in the super bowl. you do get the nerves as a broadcaster because all week long people are saying 100 million people are watching. they are going to be watching in ecuador and spain and after a while even though you have done it under pressure behind center, still as a broadcaster is new. i have a sense that tom brady might be coming on our network soon. >> ainsley: i have heard that might be a possibility. >> lawrence: i have been praying about that. let's see if it happens. >> brian: hail mary or our father? do we know? >> lawrence: neither. >> brian: ad-libbing? >> ainsley: we really hope that god answers our prayers we would love to have him on the show. >> brian: i think he is doing that now. >> ainsley: to washington where the president is set-to-attend speaking of prayer, brian, the

national prayer breakfast. that's happening today a few hours from now. >> lawrence: see what i did there? it comes as congressional democrats continue to it protest trump's cost cutting moves while calling on elon musk to be fired from doge. >> brian: right. the last thing we want to do is get our budget in line. please, stop the responsible spending. lucas tomlinson joins us with more from d.c. lucas, go to town. >> lucas: as you mentioned president trump attending the national prayer breakfast in washington today that started under president eisenhower in 1953, one year before he added under god to the pledge of allegiance. now, those -- there is 40,000 workers that have accepted that buyout that represents about 2% of the federal workforce. the deadline is one minute before midnight tonight. and the office of personnel management says who opt for the buyout get paid through september without working. the offer isn't guaranteed the buyout offer was announced last week. expected that 9% to 10% of the

federal employees would accept it leading to $100 billion in annual savings. the "wall street journal" reports widespread uncertainty about the buyout if it will work as advertised prevent employees take it. many democrats are issued by elon musk and department of government efficiency trying to reform the government. >> elon musk wasn't elected or appointed by anyone and the behavior and the actions that he is taking are unconstitutional. and illegal. there's nothing about co-president musk that is about saving the american people money. >> our own hillary vaughn on the interview. 40,000 workers accepted the buyout. represents about 2 hers% of the eligible workforce. wants to trim the government payrolls through executive actions or scrapping agencies all together. the department of education could be next. nearly all of usaid staff will be placed on paid leave beginning saturday morning.

the deadline for accepting the buyout is 11:59 p.m. tonight. perhaps more accepting that buyout today. other workers say they are worried if they stay in their job they could be targeted for future layoffs, guys. >> ainsley: this just blows our minds for all the things the democrats to complain about, saving money? >> brian: right. thanks, lucas, thanks for wearing a suited exactly like mine. >> ainsley: you are matching. >> brian: thing that gets me excited this is how my life is now what he is able to do examining our budget 4.5 until there revenue. wants to find out we are spending responsible. he is not saying something is happening foreign aid medicare and medicaid. stuff happening with social security. is he not looking to cutting. looking to find out how many dead people we are paying. how many fraud centers, how many hospitals we are overcharging. this is all pro-american. they tried to yesterday in the house in committee they tried to subpoena him. if it wasn't for ro khanna

missing the vote. they might have had -- by the way it would have been a fantastic broadcast. but they would have subpoenaed him. for doing his job. >> lawrence: they didn't just do that they stormed into the speaker's yesterday they wanted to question the treasury secretary. this is radical nonsense. and they keep acting as if elon musk is the decision maker. he is the investigator. he just brings the material to the public, to the president and then the president makes a decision and says okay. cut that that shouldn't be there. but it's a total transparent process. >> ainsley: let's scroll through some of the wasteful spending of what we are giving to other countries, it's millions and millions and millions of dollars. >> lawrence: 74 million to syrian and diplomatic political opponent. >> brian: dei musical in ireland, vietnam. egyptian tourism 6 million bucks. >> ainsley: condoms to the taliban. >> brian: taliban needs condoms.

can't anyone afford their condoms change for a dollar go to the restaurant. >> ainsley: it's not like we are asking them to cut money from countries that really need it or countries that have starving children. we will continue to help other countries. we will continue to have relationships with other countries and try to make it work where we can. but, when you go to work and you work really hard, that money should stay in america. >> lawrence: that's right. >> ainsley: shouldn't support the social agenda of the democrats. >> brian: here's the democrats losing their minds. >> what elon musk is doing is illegal. it is a coup. >> elon musk makes unsafe cars and now he wants to create an unsafe world. >> we will not shut up! we will stand up! bee will speak up! that same spirit that elon musk has coming from south africa. we're not going to have apartheid in america anymore! >> who the hell does musk think

he is? he has absolutely no right in shutting down usaid. we cannot allow that we got take to the streets. [cheers] >> first and foremost [bleep] elon musk. [cheers] >> lawrence: i think trump really broke the democratic party. i mean, i am noticing some of the representatives. by the way, leadership in the democratic party, that are now going full blown aoc. seeing some complete reasonable democrats that used to appear on our program that have completely lost their cool. >> brian: chris coons, when you lost chris coons. you lost the middle. i would say this, too. david axelrod came out and said you might think this is bad, but the american people don't die on this hill. the american people are not against ridiculous foreign aid spending. and what about domestic spending? we have no idea why these programs cost so much. so if you can get them more efficient, that should be fine.

but, instead, they don't like that his guys and his women are working human resources when the federal government we got 2.3 million federal workers. they don't like the offers to quit that they got. and they don't like the fact that they are able to look at the books. especially u.s. aid. why is u.s. aid protesting so much. why do they give joni ernst and threaten her when she asks for receipts on what they are spending. >> ainsley: she has been working on this a very long time for years and years and josh hawley about u.s. aid says their power base is being threatened now. they have used that as personal play thing it. includes billions and billions of your money, the taxpayer dollars' money. trump is exposing, this cutting off the liberal supply chains and the question is for us when we watch that protest, why do you not want to save money? why do you want to fire elon musk for balancing the books? you are right. all he is doing is just pulling back the curtain and saying why are we spending on these

senseless things? chuck schumer has out there. some of the democrats are embarrassed by him for this. watch. >> we are going to fight this fight. i am going to stand with you in this fight. and we will win. [chanting we will win] [chanting we will win] [chanting we won't rest] [chanting we won't rest] >> lawrence: is he crazy. >> brian: changed chants in the middle. i recommend if you are protest don't change the chants. this way people don't sit around and saying why is he saying that any time i think whatever cause they have they are following. so inspirational. >> lawrence: when i first saw the video, i saw it on twitter and i thought okay, is this ai generated? is this a real video? turns out it actually is real.

but this is a guy, jewish students have been attacked on campuses. he has never showed up for a protest for them. he has never called them out. >> brian: in new york. >> lawrence: in new york city. but this is the moment where we finally get to see chuck schumer enraged. >> ainsley: reason we are showing this have been showing this the past two days because it leads us to this. former representative tim ryan, former congressman,. >> brian: ran against j.d. vance. >> ainsley: this is what he says he just don't even know what to say anymore when i see this kind of stuff is it "saturday night live" or real life? does anyone really think this is the future of our country? this is the only alternative to trump's america? it's just so depressing. is he calling out the leadership of his own party. >> lawrence: i appreciate his comments. we had him on "fox & friends." i hope he will come back, about two months ago. actually i think it was probably right after the election. i did an interview with him. and he guess, listen, i'm

calling on my party but you got to understand, l.j., that there is extremities on both sides. this is not the entire democratic party. well, dude, now you got chuck schumer, maxine waters, who is ranking member on a financial services. i got all of your leadership out there screaming. i mean, i don't know how they recover from this no one is going to vote for crazy. >> brian: trying to get our budget in order. the number one expenditure what we spend every day the interest on our debt. not even a question. as the interest rates go up, we overspent about. this is a gift to have a forensic accountant to go from, the most talented businessman we have adopted from south africa. are you crazy?

this is his team, i recommend this. i love what sean duffy did yesterday. he said would you look at my books. >> lawrence: please. >> brian: find out find out how we could get more tech savvy and lean out aviation system and he said you got it. >> lawrence: how much was reported 6 million for politico. >> ainsley: 8 million. >> lawrence: what in the world. >> ainsley: $8 million because they are more left leaning, donald trump is saying no more. we are not doing. this karoline leavitt was talking about it yesterday at the presser. do you know what is interesting? donald trump has said if you work for the federal government florida don't want to come back to work. quit your job. pay you all the way through september. you know this. we have been talking about it. the new numbers are 40,000 people have quit. so that's also going to save the government a lot of money. not having to pay them. not having to fill their office spaces or, you know, put a desk in their office spaces. so there is a big savings there.

i'm not sure what that number will be. but we will find out. today is the lapse day to resign. if you want to read that email and just write back resign, you can quit your job and still get paid through september. so you can go get another job and make two paychecks through september. >> lawrence: some of them have already been doing that. >> brian: if they are doing pro-life programs and parades in ecuador or peru i'm upset on that, too. i don't want you onto promote any of your political agenda in other countries. they should understand this is about getting our financial house in order. not benefiting republicans. i actually don't think that elon musk is a republican. but he has been forced to go conservative for now. >> ainsley: the democratic party used to like him and then when he supported trump that was all over. >> lawrence: about 20 minutes after the top of the hour. >> brian: somebody we will never push out. >> ainsley: never. will. >> lawrence: carley shimkus. >> carley: that is so inclusive much you, brian. >> brian: i'm all about dei. >> carley: we will get to that

later. more news to get to, guys. happening today israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is set to meet with house speaker mike johnson and senate majority leader john thune on capitol hill it. comes after the prime minister told hannity last night that he supports trump's idea of having the u.s. help the war torn gaza strip. >> the first good idea i heard remarkable idea. i think it should be really pursued. examined, pursued, and done. because i think it will create a different future for everyone. >> carley: today's meeting is set for 11:30 a.m. eastern time. a grand jury in ohio has indicted three chilean nationals accused of breaking into cincinnati bengals quarterback joe burrow's home back in december. the fbi released a photo of the suspects wearing chains that they allegedly stole, including one featuring burrow's number 9. prosecutors say they took nearly $300,000 worth of jewelry, designer luggage, glasses and wrist watches from burrow's home. the suspects are allegedly part

of a south american theft ring. they are being charged federally with transporting stolen goods interstate and falsifying records. take a live look at the white house where speaker johnson and other republican lawmakers are set to hold talks with president trump on a budget resolution. this comes the senate plans on moving ahead with its own blueprint that bundles border security and defense spending that plan is set to make -- is set to move next week. house and senate republicans have been torn on whether to pass pieces of trump's agenda in one big package or two. and stars from the fox sports crew spending time giving back to the big easy ahead of the super bowl in new orleans. fox nfl reporter christina pink, analyst howie long, mark sanchez and ron gronk presenting a $400,000 check from fox sports and fox corporation to the boys and girls club of metro,

louisiana. gronk who knows a thing or two about winning gave the kids some advice on how to succeed in the game of life. >> we were talking to them wonderful giddens k. its a boys and girls, got to get good grades in order to move up in the ranks, outside of schooling, you want to learn a craft. you want to be able to build up yourself. how you do that is with practice. it's about whatever you want to be in life. you have to dedicate yourself and you got to put the time in. >> carley: practice makes perfect. fox forward and fox challenger fund helps kids prepare for the careers of the future. the initiative provides support for 400 military connected youth at the boys and girls club installation on naval air station joint reserve base new orleans and offers life and workforce readiness. financial literacy education. career readiness curriculums, career pathway exploration and so much more. and that is, i think, a great way to end that portion of

headlines, guys. >> ainsley: i love this story. and do you know why? we know eric shanks, we talked to him, he interview up going to boys and girls clubs. and they provided meals and mentorship for him growing up in safe place he says. now he is the ceo and givings back that much money fox is. he allowed this to happen that's awesome. >> brian: he started like jay wallace at the v.a. he worked his way up. and when david hill moved over, eric shanks was the guy. he manages to be -- he is like a coach. he brings that family atmosphere together. and that's why those guys are so close. the biggest misnomer in sports is that it rob gronkowski is a crazy guy that doesn't think. is he a smart guy that works. he puts the time in for those shows. and he does not mind -- like when you watch the tom brady roast. people acted like he is dumb. he doesn't mind anyone that knows him he is actually an act.

he's a very smart guy. >> lawrence: i'm so happy for those kids. >> ainsley: me too. brian? >> brian: federal workers facing a deadline to take a buyout. diving into how president trump and doge are working to shrink the size of the federal government. >> ainsley: plus the super bowl fund is just getting started outside kansas city in a sea of red. steve found a lone eagles fan in green. >> steve: here in kansas city they are getting ready for the super bowl. look at all these young kids posing with last year's trophy. what's your name? >> gauge. >> steve: shouldn't you be in school? >> nope. >> steve: it's a national holiday here. we have a sea of red. who is for kansas city? [cheers and applause] >> steve: everybody here. except this guy. the lone -- the lone eagles fan. what else your name? >> bruce. >> steve: okay, bruce. you are surrounded. >> yes. >> steve: and why did you come out? >> fly eagles fly. [crowd boos]

so the pinks that you see on your screen, that is the ice. and then we have got the mixing of the two of the rain and the snow, and then all snow for parts of new england and upstate new york. so there's the winter weather alerts. ice storm warning for parts of middle appalachian area and then the storm system is going to continue throughout the day today. new england, you're going to get the snow event, the ice and the sleet and the rain should exit the coast line by this afternoon. but we could see the potential for heavier snow. now back-to-back ice threats not only today but for the weekend. another weekend of low pressure moving over the same regions bringing ice and sleet and freezing rain and snow. but right now, flash flood emergency for west virginia and tornado warnings for parts of kentucky. fox weather.com for all of your latest details. brian, over to you. >> brian: thanks so much. today is the deadline for federal workers to either accept president trump's buyout offer or being risked being fired later. instead of celebrating saving taxpayer dollars. democrats continue to protest. look at this. here with reaction.

"wall street journal" editor-at-large gerry baker. jerry, i don't understand the outrage about getting our financial house in order. your thoughts? >> yeah. brian. well, thanks for having me. exactly as you say the democrats seem to be -- seems to make to most people perfect sense. shows how out of touch and how weird the party has become. what's interesting about this doge operation. when it started the name gave it away. the department of government efficiency. reduce spending, do things like this to get rid of unnecessary government workers to get rid of the massive amount of spending that the government has that we need to in order to, you know, in order to reduce that deficit. and yet what has welcome quite interesting is an exploration into the way in which the government is completely dominated bureaucracy with these left wing ideological ideas, these progressives who have been pushing their agenda on the american people without any

accountability. not only the department of government efficiency. i think it's becoming the department of government accountability. for democrats to oppose that shows how out of touch they are. >> brian: they got perms to go into medicare and medicaid systems. no to the cut it. but to find out how many dead people we are paying. how much fraud is happening. they have the best of the best run his seven companies there to do it. they also, just by getting rid of the x as an option on gender, they are going to save a million dollars because not putting an x as, i guess, ambiguous gender is actually costly. so now he says the real savings is in medicare and medicaid. and democrats are rushing to the courts to stop him. why? >> well, because essentially, that is -- first of all, the democratic party is increasingly essentially the government of the party of government workers. right? the vast majority of government workers vote democrat. the unions, the public sector

unions are all big, big spenders, big contributors to the democratic party. the democratic party thinks there is no government spending that the democratic party doesn't like because it thinks it knows better what to do with your money than you and i do. so anything at all, any idea that should be cut is something that they are opposed to. it's going to be interesting. the centers for medicare and medicaid, that is where a lot of the fraud,ed medicare and medicaid spending that's unquestionably where the biggest amount of spending in the federal government. it's good to see these things that trump has done, whether in usaid or some of these other departments. but actually that's where, you know that's where the money is as it were. the famous line about the guy who robbed the banks because that's where the money was. it's in these big government programs whereas you say, brian, huge amounts of fraud. we at the "wall street journal" reported on this over the year massive fraud in some of these programs. that is where it's going to be -- going to yield at love the cuts. as you say, the democrats to oppose that, once again, just

shows how just as they did when donald trump signed that executive order yesterday, protecting women in sports, that showed you, i think, how much in tune donald trump is and how out of tune the democrats are where they actually opposed those measures and opposing these measures now to bring efficiency and accountability. >> brian: i know you are being fair too. you didn't love trump on tariffs you guys were sparring. love other programs and get behind it. that's why people read the "wall street journal." gerri, thanks so much. >> you got it, brian. >> brian: week after the super bowl jacksonville at the florida theater streamed on fox nation. hope to see you in person. now opened up the second deck. same with st. louis, missouri mash 22nd, special fox nation give aways are going to be there, too. history, liberty and laughs. hope to see you there. meanwhile, we are just three days away from football's biggest night. super bowl lix. it is only on fox. steve is getting a game day feel in a separate city. kansas city.

steve? >> steve: that's right, brian. so we're at chicken and pickleball where they actually serve chicken and pickleballs. would you like to try a pickle? >> i would love one. >> steve: what's your name? >> mark. >> steve: mark is here. joined the hundreds of people who have shown up. mark, how is the pickle? >> delicious. >> steve: mark is the only person here who is working. what line of work are you in? >> genetic testing. >> steve: is he cracking the genome right here next to the bar. >> i try my best. >> steve: many have tried. all right. we are live all morning in kansas city where they think the chiefs are going to three-peat.

♪ president trump implementing 10% tariffs on chinese imports and trade groups now say it could raise the cost of our key prescription drugs. u.s. reliance on china for medications has risen 600% since 2016 our next guest says tariff could say lead to further domestic production. fox news senior medical analyst dr. marc siegel joins us now. good morning to you, dr. siegel. sealing seeing hi, ainsley how are you. good morning. >> ainsley: doing well. thank you. i know 90% of generic drugs are made in the united states. we do rely on china to get those ingredients. what is the solution? >> 90% of the drugs we use here are made -- 90% of the drugs here we use are generics.

and 90% of the ingredients as you just said come from china or india. so our supply chain is dependent, easily crippled by china and that's what president trump is worried about because it also leads to ingredients to fentanyl in mexico. is he trying to clamp down on this but it's a wake-up calling for the president to further deregulate markets here and to give incentives for more production here. it's gone down 60%, ainsley, in the past decade. and that's largely due recently to the inflation reduction act, of course, under president biden where if your prices went to high there were rebates. guess where the rebates went? not to the patient, not to the doctor, but to the middleman, to the caremark, to the express scripts, to the opt optum rx. making the drugs here and making the active pharmaceutical ingredients here. the tariffs are a warning. the tariffs already pulled back

canada in mexico. to say china it's a warning china has a rope around our neck and we need to move our production back into the united states. it's crucial because generic companies don't make much profit. one more thing, ainsley, in the doctor's office, when i go to prescribe something, it's really important to me that the patient gets what i want them to have or what they want to have. imagine if an inhaler is work for asthma and some pharmacy benefit manager switches it to something i don't even know if it's going to work or not. we have got to fix the system. >> ainsley: it's interesting you bring that up 22-year-old wisconsin man only 22 he died of an asthma attack. he asphyxiated. hits parents said he couldn't afford his rent and his drug. and the inhaler that he needed because the price went up. he used to pay between 35 and $67 for his inhaler. but the insurance company ended up dropping that drug so he goes to walgreen's on january 10th, and he realized because the insurance company dropped it,

look how much his drug cost $539. so how do we prevent this? what is donald trump need to do because that was under the biden administration. we don't want people dying because they can't afford their medicine. >> it's under the biden administration and i have just said it. doctors have to be able to prescribe something. something that was off the table for me now is back on the table. simba court. but nobody even tells doctors when these insurances and pharmacy benefit managers switch on us. and fixings supply chain will fix this. because, again, there's a huge shortage going on. you know, the left is saying the shortages are over. they are not over. there is almost 300 medications short this year. we are talking about life-saving cancer drugs, asthma medicine since you just talked about. antibiotics, drugs for adhd. intravenous in the hospital still short. we need the supply chain right here. president trump in his first

term started cutting out that nonsense already where the rebates went to the wrong people. i predict is he going to do it now. the tariffs are a warning to china. we have to cut the cord there and make our medicines here. >> ainsley: all right. well, r.f.k. jr. and dr. nesheiwat, maybe they can fix the system. thank you so much, dr. siegel. >> they will. good to see you. >> ainsley: hand it over to carley for more medicine lines. >> carley: happening today the former interpreter for los angeles dodgers superstar shohei ohtani appear in court for sentencing for bank and tax fraud. he pleaded guilty last year after prosecutors say he stole around $17 million from ohtani to cover his debts and gambling debts. his bets and gambling debts. federal prosecutors are seeking a nearly five year prison sentence. they also want him to pay ohtani 17 million in restitution and $1 million to the irs. and following a months long saga the miami heat finally trading away disgruntled superstar

butler headed to joint steph curry and the warriors. signing butler 2 year contract extension worth 1 # $1 million. butler had been suspended in indefinitely on the heat after skipping practice earlier this week but is expected to be able to suit up soon for golden state. those are your sports headlines. back over to you. steve. >> ainsley: thank you so much, carley. we have more "fox & friends" just moments away. i'm thinking of updating my kitchen... ...thinking of redoing our kitchen. —...a breakfast nook. —chase has financial guidance. let's see how you can start saving... —really? —really? at home or in-person. that's guidance from chase.
