and one of them is eliminating daylight savings time changes. do you think that's going to happen? we're in the strike zone here. >> we are in the strike zone. it gets a little contentious. certain industries that like the ski industry. it is important for them to have it to be standard time. if you want longer summer nights, the daylight saving times people. not an easy cut and dry scenario. it is a rough couple of days with sleep schedules and not why we're in debt. the moment now is to make sure we figure out why we have such a large deficit and going after those really important matters. >> dana: it is a pleasure to have you on the show. i'm sure we'll have you back and thanks for the shout-out this weekend. >> thanks for letting me have fun with it this week. take care. >> we are going to get back to the core function of what our government, our law enforcement

was intended to do, prosecute violent criminals and get them off our streets. weaponization ends and it ended the day that donald trump took office. the american people saw that crystal clear. they elected him by a landslide. >> dana: attorney general pam bondi getting to work right out of the gate moving quickly to crack down on crime and vowing to abolish the weaponization of government. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. here with sandra and celebrating the importance of heart health and why we're all in red today. >> get screened is the message. loved that conversation, made his day. sandra smith. a.g. bondi bringing the nation's premier law enforcement agency back to its roots and ending the two tier system of justice. she is trying to get the d.o.j. back to its core function.

prosecuting violent criminals. >> dana: david spunt is live at the justice department with more. >> good morning to you both. 87th attorney general pam bondi is here at the d.o.j. meeting with members of her staff, getting oriented still to the entire department. yesterday she spent the day, first full day on the job in new orleans receiving briefings from federal and local law enforcement partners regarding super bowl security and met with victims' families of those tragically killed in the january 1st terrorist attack that happened in the french quarter. 14 innocent people there lost their lives. attorney general made news last night in her first television interview on the job. sle said despite the fact that we have had as a country four special counsels just two years ago, she is going to go easy on special counsels. here she is on hannity, watch. >> special counsels from here on out in our country will be

legally appointed and they won't be done constantly like they have been done in the past. the weaponization of government will end. no more special counsels out there targeting anyone. >> she means republicans and democrats. prior d.o.j. leadership would argue jack smith and others were appointed legally by attorney general garland. a judge is set to hear day two of argument between the d.o.j. and f.b.i. keeping identities who worked january 6th cases out of the public. the risk is horrendous if the list gets out. that hearing comes after a tense back and forth between the f.b.i.'s acting leadership and acting deputy attorney general bove who instructed the f.b.i. leaders to compile a list and send out a questionnaire of 4,000 employees filled it out and want to make sure their identities are not released and hear from a judge today at 11:00. back to you.

>> dana: thank you so much. joining us now is "fox news sunday" anchor shannon bream, also in her red. one more thing from pam bondi. this is about the crackdown against sanctuary cities. >> what they are doing is they are choosing illegal aliens over the safety and security of their own citizens and the men and women of law enforcement who are out there trying to protect their citizens. not only did we sue today the city of chicago, we sued the state of illinois, we sued the mayor, we sued the governor, and we sued others and let me be very clear. if you don't comply with federal law, you will be next. >> dana: how will the city of chicago handle all that fire power? >> well, dana, as you know they have been very defiant. their local citizens are saying why are you prioritizing other folks in this community who came here without the proper legal means over us when our communities are suffering and

dying? they're struggling. you have the feds. he have local folks. the mayor will have his hands full. as you heard from the attorney general they'll go after funding streams. but again the possibility that local and state officials themselves could get in trouble, legal trouble. if you will remember the original executive orders from president trump talked about cutting the funding streams but civil and criminal actions against people that they believe are impeding or actively stopping ice from doing its federal enforcement job. >> sandra: want to ask you about the state attorneys general issuing this new statement on their lawsuit about doge access to sensitive personal information. it seems to be coming a bigger and bigger fighting point for democrats. in that statement it reads the level of access for unauthorized individuals is unlawful, unprecedented and unacceptable. doge has no authority to access

this information which they explicitly sought in order to block critical payments that millions of americans rely on. we'll be filing a lawsuit to stop this injustice. there are 13 states vowing to file lawsuits. we have a list of them. is it just this or just a sign of the times and a growing number of democrats who are just trying to fight trump's agenda? >> i think that's what they will do. they say the fight is now in the courts because that's where they will have to go for every single one of these things that filters out from the executive branch. remember the executive order that created doge actually took an entity that already existed, the united states digital service office, and just retooled it. so those who are supporting doge said listen, the underlying legal framework for this entity already existed. the president repurposed it to the doge mission. you have lawsuits from federal employees, unions, you have it coming from these attorneys general as well. it is going to be a legal all

hands on deck battle over all this executive action. of course, much easier to flood the zone with that than it is to get things done legislatively on the hill that take more time and some level of bipartisanship and cooperation. >> dana: i don't know if you can see this. something happening live to you right now. a dozen lawmakers, democrats, attempting to get a meeting with the acting education secretary. this comes as president trump has said the department of education might be something where secretary mcmahon, if confirmed, would get herself out of a job. also you had the former secretary of education, betsy devos writing yesterday in the free press she thinks the department of education should be eliminated. one of those things they probably won't get access to this building but the democrats are not clear how to deal with this. >> we see them showing up and protesting outside a number of

buildings or capitol hill yesterday forcing themselves on their way into a meeting they wanted to be a part of. right now they feel like chaos is the strategy. it was the line in playbook this morning talking about the fact that they know that they will be overwhelmed with all of these actions and all the things that they are trying to get ahold of. they are showing up. we've seen protests and we're at war and say take this to the streets. it does feel like the democrats are back on their heels trying to get control of the messaging much less the substance of all these different things that are happening. >> dana: i think one congressman i can make out there taking the photograph there is maxwell cross and they're talking to a security guard. let me just turn it back over to sandra to ask you another question as we watch these democrats who i guess it is performtive art in a way to try to make a point. >> absolutely. you notice the camera is up and noting the congressman from

florida in the picture. this is security guard. shannon, obviously this is further signs of what is to come. i spoke with karoline leavitt yesterday and asked her about the president's intentions with the department of education. they are not detailing exactly where they are going with this. but there has been a lot of talk about dismantling it all together or reworking it. we just don't know. that uncertainty leads to a lot of this. >> it does. conservatives have been talking about this for a long time. they feel like states are much better equipped to handle the education system. closer to the parents and students as well and people involved. it is one of the agency targeted by conservatives. when states and local people know what the students need and

more accountable to parents to demand answers and accountability for their kids. not surprising there would be this conversation about taking this away from the federal level and sending it back to local and state. for conservatives they want it as local as possible. that means a threat to the federal agency that now exists. >> dana: let's see if we can hear anything. >> you were told to come out here. >> do they know we're here? >> max the question. >> are you making this decision to stand in front of this door on your own behalf on behalf of the department of education or were you told to come out here and block members of congressman? >> i'm doing my job. >> what is that? >> we are doing our jobs. >> we are doing our jobs. >> show them your i.d. >> were you told to stand here or did you decide to stand and block members of congress? >> he is denying access to a federal building. >> from members of congress. >> we're allowed in there. >> private security contractor.

denying members of congress. >> maybe you don't understand. >> he is making a decision to block members of congress from a public access entrance. >> i don't think he knows. >> you have the authority as a private security contractor to block members of congress. that has been knighted and granted to you. >> let's go to the desk. >> who told you to do this? open the door. >> do you understand who members of congress on? >> i have a job to do. >> we have a job to do. >> we aren't dangerous people. there are no thieves and thugs out here. we are members of congress. we're parents and teachers.

there is his i.d. right there. >> this is our job. >> this is our job. we're doing our job. >> you are securing this building against who? >> members of congress. >> the people. >> members of the people. >> full transparency of this administration. the administration that talked about they will open the doors to all of these things and show the american public what is going on. they won't even open the door to this building to members of congress. we are not dangerous people. we have not done anything. we are here to request a meeting and they have a private security contractor who on his own is making decisions on behalf of the department of education. >> congressman hays. they allow billionaires and mignons to come into this building. they allow -- >> i am a member of congress

trying to request a meeting and a private security contractor is not allowing me to enter the building. >> billionaires go into the building but not the people's representatives. cronies and not -- a lack of transparency here. members of congress, they are not allowed in. it is not transparency. >> they are locking our kids out. >> not only are they not letting us in they've called the department of homeland security. we are members of congress talking to the department of education. >> this is appalling. >> children of this country deserve that battle. >> this is not russia. >> let the cameras see him. >> who is he? >> this man here. >> we are members of congress. >> he is blocking us. >> want you to see this man here who is a federal employee. he told us. are you a federal employee? >> yes.

>> he said he is a federal employee. we pay him. we raise money to make sure that we have a department of education. everybody that is at the department of education are here because we pay for them to be here. he is standing here today blocking the door and he can't give us a good reason why he is blocking this door. >> make sure they see here. all access entrance. >> it should be clear to parents of the united states if you want to advocate on behalf of your children, you are not allowed to come into this building where you pay taxes. parents who have children who are disabled, access is being denied you voted for members of congress to advocate on behalf of your children. children with disabilities, for young women who have been victims of sexual assault in our classrooms, on our school grounds, members of ocr are fighting four your children.

we are not allowed in the building to talk to them. we are not allowed to advocate on behalf of america's children. america, we have a problem. >> everybody stand back. >> dana: this is the department of education. members of congress from the democratic side of the aisle trying to get inside the building. a security guard doing his job and denying them access. it is interesting fox news is the only one covering this live. they want to be on television. maxine waters complaining they can't get in the building. if you want to fight for your children you're not allowed. we had news to make it sound like that's too late. >> sandra: our nation's report card was shocking. the report card showed seven out of ten fourth graders aren't proficient readers. a number worse than the last report card in 2022. worse than numbers, haven't

improved in three decades. we're seeing the same thing for the middle schoolers at the eighth grade level. less than a third of students don't have the reading and math skills they need. not getting access to the building, you are hearing from these folks to go advocate for the kids. what have they done lately, right? that report card has not improved. our nation's report card has worsened. there is a huge problem with the public school system in this country and it has been failing our nation's children. >> dana: shannon let's bring you in as maxine waters continues to berate the security guard. >> this is a great optic for democrats who will use this and go out. you will see this stuff everywhere probably. they've already got their teams rolling on it. certainly this is what you do in washington. the messaging and optics. point back to how many g.o.p. lawmakers earlier this week

every time she tried to get answers from usaid -- i'm not saying she showed up physically. every time members of congress try to get information from a federal agency there can be an issue. she talked about that. talk to grassley who sent subpoenas and requests for informational over to federal agencies to the d.o.j. and all kinds of places to be told talk to the hand and not get the information. this is a physical showing up and not getting to where you want to go. you make it the optics you want. republican members on the hill will tell you many, many times they've tried to get information from federal agencies. maybe not in a physical sense but very much in a way that they claim they also have access to information and have been told no, you aren't getting it or met with silence. >> sandra: we put the report card on the screen and see the red arrows, that's the decline in the performance of our nation's children in math and reading in day four and eight. democrats as part of the agenda

laid out trying to obstruct. we don't know what the exact plans are, right, shannon? the white house has not been clear where they are going to go with this but they are certainly highlighting this as a serious problem in this country. we don't know exactly what is happening here. we aren't told exactly why this person is not letting them into the building. but certainly he said we heard him say a moment ago he is doing his job. he has been asked to do this. shannon, maybe we'll get clarity soon on this. >> shannon: it would be interesting if they went into the building what would happen next. i think they want to make a protest and ask questions about what will happen. not sure what would be accomplished if they did go in sign. not a confirmed department of education secretary. we don't know what the policy will be moving forward but there are serious questions how the department is functioning, what it has been focusing on and where it's spending its money and what it says in contrast to

how states and local -- >> dana: linda mcmahon's confirmation hearing will take place next thursday february 13th. maxine waters will stay out there. we'll take a quick break and tell you about that. a passenger plane with ten people on board goes missing in alaska. the latest details on the search. benjamin netanyahu making the rounds on capitol hill expected there shortly to meet with speaker johnson. house foreign affairs committee chairman brian mast met with him yesterday and joins us next.

>> sandra: benjamin netanyahu expected back on the hill to meet with house speaker mike johnson.

a whirlwind week in washington for him. among the lawmakers who met with netanyahu yesterday is foreign affairs chairman brian mast and he joins us now. thank you very much, mr. chairman. give us an update on the situation and the meeting. >> we covered a lot of ground from what has to take place to make sure that we get all hostages, to include american hostages back home, to what goes on with any potential reconstruction of gaza following the fact that there would be no more terrorists from hamas, hezbollah, palestinian islamic jihad, all these terrorist groups. no presence of any of them. a partner in gaza that would be willing to accept and acknowledge there will be an independent and jewish state there and what can happen moving forward. really specifics on what president trump has laid out, an incredible idea for the potential reconstruction there. really recognizing that it is an

uninhabitable area because of the 500 miles of tunnels in the area that have to be destroyed so never used for terror again or the unexploded ordnance on the ground or the fact places where there were homes are rubble and it has to be cleared out. >> sandra: grabbing a lot of headlines is president trump's proposal to take over the gaza strip. marco rubio is calling critics of that proposal out. listen. >> i think president trump has offered to go in and be a part of that solution. if other country is willing to step forward and do it themselves that would be great. no one seems to be rushing forward to do that. it seems to me a lot of countries in the world who like to express concern about gaza and palestinian people but very few are willing to do anything concrete about it. >> sandra: netanyahu said it is worth listening to trump's proposal. >> let's go more specific to what marco rubio said about other countries not doing their part. if you looked at europe you have other countries taking in ukrainians. you had other countries taking

in syrians with what was going on with the war there. what's taking place here you don't have any of the neighbors willing to take in any of the palestinians throughout this war or even now looking in the future for this cleanup. president trump is doing what he always does, which is looking without the status quo from a different vantage point to say how do we change everything that has taken place to get to a point of success instead of the same failed results that we've had in the past? >> sandra: at the same time you are responding to another big headline coming out of this white house and that is usaid and the questionable spending that many republicans have been calling out with donald trump's leadership here. i have know that you are saying the usaid is rotten to the core as the president is set to lay off nearly all usaid staff after exposing their waste and abuse. what do you want to see happen here, congressman? >> questionable spending is probably the nicest way you could put it.

i released a lot of 50 very wasteful efforts that were $15 million to the taliban for condoms or $20,000 a pop gragg shows in ecuador. we're about to release another things. people should be upset about it but it is ten to one the amount of absolutely crazy wasteful programs, more within state department than what is even within usaid. there was $300,000 plus to do a job fair in bangladesh where the average wage is $20 a month. that was just for trans people. $100,000 to do an ultimate frisbee gender inclusivity program. we'll get rid of all these programs. that will be the end of it. >> sandra: appreciate when you give us your time. thank you very much. >> wish you the best. >> sandra: all right. >> the goal is to go out and win the game. whatever it takes for however

long it takes, these guys need to be locked in for those ends up being a four-hour game. >> dana: super bowl sunday two days away from beers to bets. the big game is expected to break spending records. fan ceo amy howe is here right after the break. start to break away from uc with tremfya... with rapid relief at 4 weeks. tremfya blocks a key source of inflammation. at one year, many people experienced remission... and some saw 100% visible healing of their intestinal lining. serious allergic reactions and increased risk of infections may occur. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms or if you need a vaccine. healing is possible with tremfya. ask your doctor about tremfya today. ♪

the bears didn't even get in on this. >> yeah, okay, dana. >> dana: maybe next year. we have this. something i have never understood. the over/under. kansas city favored by 1.5 points over/under 58.5. can you explain to me what it means? this is amy howe from fan duel. >> the over/under is at 48 1/2 is the the number of combined points that the bookmakers think kansas city and the eagles will score. you will be interested to know more than 80% of betters think it will be the over, which really reflects what people love about sports betting. high scoring games where you have a lot of the big stars scoring touchdowns and kicking field goals and doing great things. >> dana: let's pull up the super bowl game highlights. fans favoring the eagles with 59% of the bet count.

51% on the chiefs, 85% on the over/under. the super bowl betting spending over the last few years and look how that has grown over time with $23.1 billion bet in 2024. >> yeah. that's right. where the real action is is on the player and parlays. this year fan duel has a new product we are introducing to all the markets we compete in called your way. it lets the consumer really have complete control over the betting process. you go into the app and see travis kelce to receive first 50 yards and you can customize it and recalculates the odds. it gives the consumer infinite choice and flexibility.

>> dana: it is legal in 39 states. this time next year will it be higher? >> if you go back to 2018 when the states started to regulate online sports betting, we've gotten to 50% of the u.s. population for sports betting quite quickly. it will be somewhere around 85% for sports betting. you have california and texas to come online. there is still hard work to be done to open up sports betting but our teams are working hard to safely legalize the markets. >> dana: one concern. i track this closely. addiction is estimated to affect 9% of adults and 16% of teenagers who engage in sports betting according to the usa today gambling is easier than ever and they call it a threat to public health. how do you think about that as the ceo of fan duel? >> dana, listen. our commitments to responsible gaming is one of the most

important things that we do as a company. starts with the right tone from the top. we spend $1 hundred million dollars across responsible gaming. within the nfl season last year we had a tool called my spend that gives consumers detailed activity around their betting behavior and we had almost 50% of our users, 3.5 million users were using this tool. today we announced a new product we launched into the market to allows users to set limits on deposits. if you exceed those you get an alert. this is one of those things we'll never be done. part of building a sustainable sector but one of the most important things i do as the ceo of fan duel. >> dana: have a great weekend. enjoy yourself. >> sandra: speaker mike johnson is speaking alongside prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu. let's listen live. >> the security assistance

funding when israel needed it the most. with he speak regularly. we were honored to host my friend, the prime minister in july for his historic fourth joint address to congress, which tied for the record of all time. that showed the world that israel is not alone. they won't be so long as we are governing here. today we discussed the special partnership that we have between these two countries. i thank netanyahu for making the region and the world a safer place amid really extraordinary challenges. what israel has done in the past seven months is a testament to what can be accomplished when we do not let the enemy set the rules. as prime minister netanyahu said tuesday at the white house, when our enemies see daylight between israel and the united states, they will exploit it. we all know that is true. that's why a strong decisive leadership is so crucial in this time. president trump and prime minister netanyahu both

understand that peace is secured through strength, not appeasement. not by turning our backs on our allies. before he even took office in january, president trump and his team helped secure the cease-fire agreement and the return of american and israeli hostages. this week he announced a plan to exert maximum pressure on iran and its proxies who terrorize the israeli people and the world. this is what decisive leadership looks like. and with president trump back in the white house and republican control of congress america will not turn its back on our national security priorities. our support for israel remains iron clad. we're truly grateful to prime minister netanyahu for joining us today and i will turn it over to him for a few remarks. >> mr. speaker, mike, thank you. i have developed, as you say, a very warm personal bond with you. i think you are an extraordinary leader and you have the job of

running -- passing historic legislation in zero time. we exchange a few tips on how to do that because we both know what coalitions are. but i have to say that i'm impressed with your leadership, with your initiative, and for me most of all your friendship to the state of israel, the jewish people and the jewish state. the american/israeli alliance has never been stronger. i'm completing a week which began with an extraordinary meeting with president trump. under his leadership, the critical decisions that show his commitment and the american people's commitment to israel have come to the fore instantly. renewed the supply of weapons that had been stopped as we fight for our future, our existence and for the broader middle east in a seven-front war. he immediately released those weapons and issued yesterday

sanctions on this scandalous and corrupt organization the icc that threatens the right of all democracies to defend themselves by themselves and he has done so many things in the interim just in two weeks. but i was deeply moved by the reception that we got, the substantive things that we discussed making sure that iran never gets a nuclear weapon and also making sure that hamas is destroyed. we won't have a future for gaza or for future for peace in our part of the world if hamas remains there. we agreed on many things but i think it sets the tone for this great strengthening of the american/israeli alliance. not only an alliance between governments, it is an alliance between peoples. this is the house of the people. and you, mr. speaker, represent the american people that overwhelmingly support the state

of israel. i was driving through washington, i look outside. there are people on the sidewalks, they see our -- the limousines pass and they will go like this. they will go like this and they all support. i think, mr. speaker, that's the spirit that animates you and so many of your colleagues here and i want to thank you again and i want to say you are invited to israel. this year in jerusalem i know you are busy, but find space to do that. >> i can't wait. >> you will be welcomed with a red carpet. >> thank you so much. [shouted questions] >> sandra: fresh off their meeting reaffirming their commitment to each other, commitment to israel and

israel's commitment to the united states as he continues his meetings on the hill this week. >> dana: that's right. netanyahu has had an incredible week. think about the last year and a half that he has had from october 7th and all that he did to try to push back the terrorists. it has been an amazing week because he met with the president, he has a new ally. the biden administration took them 1500 days to meet with him. it took trump 15 days to meet with him. a difference there. we'll see what happens. he will go back to israel i believe tomorrow but he has had an incredible week. a small plane carrying ten people missing over alaska on its way to the city of nome. we have the story. >> the last update we received on the missing plane came at 12:30 this morning from the nome volunteer fire department. the news is not good. right now they are saying that they have no new information on the location of this commercial

aircraft carrying ten people. nine passengers and pilot aboard a single engine turboprop yesterday afternoon. according to authorities it left at 2:00 p.m. headed to nome. when it didn't arrive at its destination it was reported missing. national guard, coast guard and local rescuers are working overnight to locate the cessna caravan. one like it but not the exact plane. according to the chief of the fire department he talked to a local tv station. visibility in the air and on the grounds overnight was zero. what we understand the weather is much more favorable for today. this is a very rural area of alaska. even more so than many may imagine it already is. they use small aircraft. the plane was about 12 miles off shore when its position was lost. as you can imagine the ntsb is

on this. dana and sandra, we're expecting another update from the nome volunteer fire department at 1:00 p.m. eastern time. >> sandra: under power and under new party liedership democrats are trying to make headway with the party's steal messaging to oppose the trump administration. >> we have got to tell elon musk nobody elected your [bleep]. >> what we won't do a stand around while they pull this [bleep] that they are trying to pull this now. >> we need to fight this in the streets and make sure the billionaires don't take this country away from the working people of america. >> we are going to use every legislative, judicial and public pressure tool at our disposal as members of congress until we fire elon musk. >> sandra: let's bring in "boston globe" reporter and

reporter and producer for the free press susiewise. welcome to both of you. are we seeing democrats struggling to regroup here? >> absolutely. this is the natural effect that you will see for a party that has dome define itself by identity politics t. by resistance to trump and resistance to trump allies. it will blow up in their face. right now we see a lot of hand wagging in some of these protests against elon musk. it feels like the sort of cause playing of resistance. look, that can be a strategy if they want to use it. fighting a billionaire when you don't have policies for working class voters and you have bernie sanders saying we don't have the right economic policies for working class voters falls flat. they need to go back to the drawing board. >> dana: a good point. susie, it is so cringe. >> so cringe. >> dana: i can't take it. >> it is like watching people

waving their canes saying we'll win. i may not -- i know which one i prefer. >> dana: do you think they will be able to find some voice? somebody like maybe a fetterman? he said this. this is the pennsylvania senator saying the new leadership of the dnc called for abolishing ice and defunding police. i'm concerned we haven't paid attention to what happened. have we looked up at the scoreboard and been by the way, we lost? you get a sense they know what they are up against? >> some of them their heads are in the cloud and don't understand. fetterman makes a good point. you have other voices, bernie sanders, chuck mouleton, a congresswoman who voted against biden's debt forgiveness scheme. they are trying to stand up to party leadership saying we aren't in touch with voters right now. they don't want the activist causes like abolishing ice. a big part of why president trump won people are sick of the out of control border and

immigration and the economy. >> sandra: to that point the "washington post" writes as washington reels from trump's first actions his voters like what they see. in interviews with nearly 20 people it reads in recent days most trump supporters were in favor of efforts to scale back the federal workforce and stand by controversial cabinet nominees and slash foreign aid. isn't that what matters? >> zooming out from what she said. beyond the policy voters wanted a massive cultural mandate. a shift. trump delivered that whether you like it or not. you know when you see it, it is america first. building is good. identity politics is bad. we had a great column in the free press who laid out what democrats need to do. stop dropping the f bomb talking about fascist. embrace things like energy abundance. james carville has been saying it for 30 years.
