i like to talk about is there were two people who lived in the same city and loved the same music and were going to see the same bands play and never bumped into each other and then they both were on vinylly, bumped into each other there and then the two get to enjoy the shows together. anita: that's great. well, thank you so much for bringing us your story of vinylly, rachel, if you're looking for love out there, go check it out. >> thank you. mike: thanks, rachel. anita: mike, that's going to do it for us. i had a great time with you here over the past two hours. mike: a pleasure working with you, anita. anita: yes, and happy super bowl weekend, everyone. mike: absolutely, i'm mike emanuel. fox news live continues with rich edson right now. >> as they move to shut down

usaid, allowing doge to access systems at the labor department for now, however, this morning in another ruling, a federal judge temporarily blocked doge from treasury department records after 19 democratic attorneys general sued doge over access to the department. i'm rich edson, we'll have the latest coming up, but we begin with a fox news alert. three israeli hostages are free after hamas released them in exchange for palestinianen prisoners. however, the frail condition of the hostages is sparking outrage in israel. trey yingst is live with more. >> hey, good afternoon. three more hostages were released from gaza today as part of the cease-fire agreement. the men are owe had ben ami,

eli sharabi, and or levy. they were barely recognizable and had lost weight while in captivity. as you see their release, they've paid unimaginable prices. sharabi's wife was killed and ohad's wife was kidnapped and later released in the first cease-fire agreement in 2023. a statement was released this is what a crime against humanity looks like. the whole word must look at ohad or eli returning after 491 days of hell, starved, emaciated and pained, being exploited by vile murderers. and they were exchanged for 183

prisoners, some accused of killing citizens. there are scenes of joy at central israel at the hospital as one father, ohad, is reuniting with his daughters, but you understand that the israeli people grasp the reality of the situation. there are still dozens of living hostages held by hamas inside gaza in horrific conditions. rich. >> trey yingst in tel aviv. thank you. for more on this, israeli ambassador to the united nations joins me live. thank you for joining me this afternoon. >> the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said the conditions of the hostages returned will not go unanswered and the appropriate actions will be taken. what can we expect from the israeli government in response? >> thank you for having me, rich. you know, we are in shock. we are in shock seeing the faces of the emaciated prisoners coming back, the

hostages, and we knew that they're in bad shape, but once you see them, you understand that starvation, the tortures, what is happening during the time is unbearable. we will take actions against that. we will not accept it. you know, we allowed thousands trucks to enter with aid, food, medical supplies and look what they're doing to the loejs. we are -- hostages. we will not stop, we'll limb nate those monsters, we'll limb nate them, not allow them to stay alive. think only with eli sharabi, came from captivity and found that his wife was massacred, his two teenage daughters were massacred as well, his brother was massacred. those are animals and we'll take action against them. >> do you have a sense of the

remaining hostages? >> we can only imagine, you know? we can only imagine the conditions and we, unfortunately, we are not optimistic where once we see the faces of the hostages coming back, we hear the testimonies about starvation, sexual assault, tortures, and i think that the world is not thinking enough about the fact that the red cross never visited the hostages, no u.n. agency ever took any actions in order to support the hostages, that's unacceptable. it means that we are determined to do it ourselves. we will go back if we have to, we will get back into the war zone in order to bring them back. >> do you expect that this war could restart soon? i know there are more negotiations upcoming when it comes to extending the cease-fire, and the hostages, and what are the next steps after that? >> the negotiations will resume

in doha, qatar, and our goal is clearly to bring back the hostages and not to allow to remain in power. if we can achieve it, with negotiations, everything can move fast. if hamas will insist to stay in power, i don't think it will happen because it will mean that there will be no future for the people of israel, and no future for the palestinians as well with hamas in power. so we have to wait a few more weeks in order to know where we're heading, but we are determined, we are determined, we realize that we have to fight back and we are willing to do it. >> the biden administration worked until the very end on these issues handing over to the trump administration. how was that handoff? has it been pretty seamless when it comes to the united states involvement? >> i would say that on the issue of the hostages, both administrations wanted to see progress and we appreciate the efforts. no doubt president trump with his approach was able to bring the deal into maturity, to realize it, but in support,

unrt preous administration held the munition when we needed it and this administration is saying out loud, we stand with israel. i was with the prime minister a few days in d.c., the fact that trump invited him to be the first foreign lead tower -- leader to step into the white house. >> the president played quite a stir with his remarks on gaza, has there been any since then with israeli government how you're going to do that? >> not yet. we have to be focused on the goal of eliminating hamas because you cannot think about future plans if hamas is still there. we appreciate the president is thinking out of the box, connelling with new ideas, it's about time because so many leaders spoke about the palestinian cause without offering something tangible, so, i think it's a good idea, but we have to finish the job, we have to eliminate hamas and

then allow the international organizations and the international players to go step in and build a future for the region. >> the idea though, that some two million palestinians who are not going to be in gaza at some point, seems pretty farfetched, doesn't it? >> well, it's not easy to implement it, but i think that palestinians should be allowed to relocate if they do it with consent, people move from country to country. i don't understand why people are against the idea of allowing palestinians that want to go to places willing to receive them. we saw it happening all over the world, in syria, in ukraine, why they are doomed to stay in gaza. if they have the option to relocate and want to do it they should be allowed to do it. >> that's danny danon, israeli ambassador to the united states, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, rich. >> prime minister benjamin netanyahu stat down for an exclusive interview with mark levin on life, liberty and levin tonight at 8 p.m. eastern

here on the fox news channel. be sure to catch that for more on the developments in the middle east. president trump is at mar-a-lago today ahead of his trip to the super bowl in new orleans tomorrow. last night, trump defended elon musk from democrats who were critical of musk's influence in the administration and doge's access to various agencies. lucas tomlinson is live with the latest there. >> good afternoon, rich. president trump hosting republican senators at his mar-a-lago estate last night in palm beach where, as you mentioned, he praised elon musk and his doge team. he says he wants to know where all the money is going in the u.s. government. >> we can have big cuts that don't affect anybody, waste, fraud and abuse, and we're finding it now. that's one of the beauties of what elon's doing. he's got-- he started with a group of 25 super geniuses, they wear undershirts. >> now, doge, led by elon musk

has looked under the hood at 14 different government agencies, rich. president trump was asked where he wants them to look next. >> have you directed elon musk to review pentagon spending given it's the biggest-- >> yes, i have, pentagon, education, we are going through everything. just as it was so bad with what we just went through with this horrible situation. >> trump's defense secretary pete hegseth saluting smartly and tweeting looking forward to working with you on elon musk, need to cut the fat, headquarters and grow the muscle, war fighters. not everyone is thrilled with doge accessing u.s. government computers. a federal judge restricted from a treasury department payment system. any information downloaded must be destroyed the judge ruled. this was a suit brought by new york attorney general letitia james and seven other ag's to stop musk. in a statement james says from

the moment that elon musk and his employees gained access to our personal, private data, state bank accounts and sensitive information, people have been horrified. and the president heads to the super bowl tomorrow, but not before sitting down with our own bret baier for a super bowl interview to air pregame. >> looking forward to that. thank you. for more on the doge's efforts. let's bring in texas congressman and house doge congress co-chair pete sessions. thank you for joining us this afternoon. recapping what lucas reported there, the court system allowed doge to access labor department, not treasury. court cases continue. the argument is basically you have this international businessman who has plenty of conflicts of interest. shouldn't have access to this type of information, should he? >> really, the bottom line is

the president of the united states dually elected across the country in a positive fashion promised on the campaign trail that we would get to the bottom of not only finding the spending that was taking place, but those things that were done against the best interests of the american people. you can say doge, you can say elon musk with every one of those employees, but the bottom line is that these are professionals that are gaining information, information that is important to not only congress, but important to the administration. it is not releasing data and information. it is probably finding out where the money went and i think that that's the part of government that i am personally responsible for government oversight and i will tell you the president is doing the right thing. the court system is playing its hand, but you will see soon that the data and information

which is gleaned will help america to understand the problems that we have with not just excessive government, but runaway government tactics done by the democratic party. >> democrats do have some members on the doge caucus though it appears you're losing one. here is one congressional perspective on leaving the doge caucus. >> fundamentally, i don't see how we can actually do this work when elon musk is blowing things up. it's like trying to replace your roof when someone's throwing dynamite through your living room. it's just not possible. i'm leaving the doge caucus. >> do you expect more democrat defectors? >> i think some people joined to see what they could see, and find themselves confronted with the information as we learned yesterday $250 million given to

george soros for george soros to use overseas, who is a non-government entity and we gave that money to george soros for his political viewpoints. it's these kinds of things that will be very uncomfortable for democrats and i would expect that most of them will not only welcome the opportunity to bet this and then the question is what are we going to do with this. i'm not really worried about that. they've come, i believe, for the right reason. there have always be those, they were in favor of the 30 trillion dollar deficit that we have today. >> do you think that doge will look at the legislative branch spending? the office building behind me, a whole lot of offices and staff. is congress going to subject itself to doge? >> one could certainly ask that

question. we are always at a push for determining what we're going to do and by and large, that's driven by the speaker or the senate majority leader. as you know, we had the effort by 9/11 committee that was very expensive. we've had other very expensive investigations and so, sure, i think that there would be some look at that. at least to determine the cost, but when you look at freedom of government, which is what we represent. we represent the elected people, the voices of people, and then not just the right or wrong, but how things are accomplished. i'm very proud of the doge caucus. i'm proud of our democrats who are on there. they will bring things that don't work in necessarily their communities, also. so, no one likes a government that does not work right and that's what we're committed to. >> you know, part of the issue with doge, of course, is

getting rid of some of these government departments that were included in past by federal law. the courts may have issue with that. do you think that elimiting usaid, cfpb, the department of education, all of that is part of a congressional effort, this big bill that you're talking about and separately, do you think that the big bill that you're discussing can get through with republican-only votes? >> these are all questions that will all be on a balance, a balance of not only how well it's done, but the data and information that is gleaned, which will support the american people to say they understand why. usaid needs to be looked at and revamped and i'm sure a huge part of the spending that takes place was not in the americans' best interest, but a good bit of it is and i hope that that does not just survive, but is reformed properly. so, the big bill, is it going to pass?

boy, it's always up for speculation and right now, we're nearing a time where we've got to make real decisions. >> congressman pete session, co-chair of the doge session up on the hill. appreciate your time. >> you betcha. >> crews have found the wreckage of a small commercial passenger plane carrying 10 people in alaska. in d.c. officials announced all major parts of the wreckage between an american airlines jet and an army blackhawk helicopter have been recovered. madeleine rivera is here. >> it's been a tough week in aviation, there were no survivors in the recent plane crash in alaska. coast guard released this photo of the wreckage found 34 miles southeast of nome. remaining seven are thought to be inside.

it took off at 2 p.m. local time thursday. 12 miles off shore when officials lost contact with the plane. there were no signs of distress from the plane before it went missing. >> at around 3:18 p.m. yesterday afternoon this aircraft experienced some kind of event which caused them to experience a rapid loss in elevation and a rapid loss in speed. what that event is, i can't speculate to. >> the crash in alaska comes in the wake of two fatal plane crashes. last week 67 people were killed in a mid air collision between an american eagle flight and an army blackhawk in d.c. and seven people were killed after a medical transport plane crashed in philadelphia. all major parts of the regional jet and the military helicopter have been recovered from the potomac river as the n.t.s.b. conducts their investigation, transportation secretary sean duffy is calling for a review of helicopter traffic around

d.c. >> those 28 entities that fly helicopters through this area. we have to take another hard look at what does aviation safety look like, how do we use our air space and i think there were mistakes made in the past. >> crews are continuing to search the area for additional debris. the n.t.s.b. is expected to release a preliminary report by the end of the month. rich. >> thank you. >> you've got it. >> coming up, new orleans has been preparing to keep the super bowl safe. we'll check it out. —uh. —here i'll take that.

>> thousands of police officers will crowd new orleans for the super bowl tomorrow. a little more than a month after a new year's day attack killed 14 people. garrett tenney is live with more on how security has changed. >> yeah, rich, we were here hours after that terror attack and the difference in security between what was in place that night and what we are seeing now just night and day. over on bourbon street and really all throughout the french quarter, new bollards and barriers were in place that weren't there on new year's and could have prevented that attack. there's also a new enhanced security zone in the corridor this week that bans ice chests

and coolers and national guard troops are checking bags as everyone comes into that very highly trafficked terrorist area. more than two dozen federal agencies and more than 2000 law enforcement officers are here that includes c bp's air and marine operations with blackhawk helicopters in the air and boats on the mississippi. >> we're predominantly looking for any acts of terrorism or anything like that. >> after the new year's attack, local officials essentially got a blank check from the federal government, anything they've asked for they have gotten. the special agent in charge of coordinating for the super bowl tells this week, new orleans is the safest place you could be. >> and talking with other counterparts in the nfl, this is the most organized and most secure super bowl they've worked it. >> not only the safest place you could be, but they believe this will be the most secure super bowl in history, and the

>> president trump sends more troops to secure the southern border as the administration threatens activists interfering with ice raids. cb cotton is live with the latest. >> yeah, the pentagon will deploy roughly 1500 more active duty troops, growing the show of force at the southern border. meanwhile, border czar tom homan told fox just this week there will be consequences for those who try to interfere with ongoing deportation efforts inside the country. >> they may find themselves in a pair of handcuffs very soon. so working with doj on that to get legal guidance. you cannot knowingly harbor illegal aliens because we'll seek prosecution. >> the trump administration continued to say these deportation efforts are about removing public safety threats. we've seen homan point to certain high profile crimes as examples. another case is unfoldinin the northeast now. the accused of killer of a

sandwich shop owner in massachusetts, an illegal immigrant from the dominican republic, caught and released from the biden administration in 2022 according to bell melugin's sources. facing murder charges in the owner of crazy buzzy's roast beef and seafood in lynn, massachusetts. the 40-year-old victim was found murdered monday evening in his home with signs of trauma on his body. he was pronounced dead on the scene and now his nephew is calling for justice. >> i hope this guy gets what he deserves. i hope he rots in jail, the worst. >> we're told an ice detainer has been placed on her man herman pena. and held without bail. he's scheduled to return to court in early march, rich. rich: cb cotton, thank you.

for more on the immigration crackdown. let's bring in former ice director jonathan fahey. what's your sense of how things are going so far? it's a massive change from one administration to the next. >> it's been so rapid, so effective and serious. so many things that have been helpful to the united states citizens in terms of it's deterred crime from illegal aliens that are already here. we're already getting rid of the most serious criminals, and we're deterring the number coming in, 450, 500 a day down from 12,000 a day under biden. what's important about this. the drug cartels were making significant money from every illegal alien coming into the country, sometimes 7,000 or so per head. when the numbers are cut down they're starving the cartels and allowing border patrol and federal agents to focus on drug trafficking and fentanyl, things like that.

the benefits are tremendous and it's only going to get better. it's impressive how fast and effective it's been already. rich: two months, one, it's the border security and second the deportation efforts and there have been challenges for ice. here is what tom homan had to say about one of those. >> and we're going to hold sanctuary cities accountable, take them into court. again, every elected mayor, every elected governor, every elected city councilman you would think they would want their community safe, too, and public safety threats removed from their communities. rich: how much of a challenge are sanctuary city laws to the deportation efforts? >> it's a tremendous challenge because the sanctuary cities are preventing or have been preventing ice from getting to the most serious criminals. what they've been doing, important to note, sanctuary cities keeping people in jails, hiding them from ice and hiding their release dates from ice and it's hard to get a hold of them.

they're coming strong after the sanctuary cities, they've sued chicago and these cities are going to get in line and cooperate or wish they had. because some of the sanctuary cities laws, the purpose of the law is to defy federal law, harboring illegal aliens and things of that nature. so, it's going to come to a head and maybe some people are going to go to jail and getting arrested and others getting sued or cooperate, but they've been a major problem and the biden administration, now, essentially supported sanctuary cities and never said anything about them. so, things are changing and changing rapidly, but this is the biggest fight, i think. other things they are going to look at how do you withhold funds. we've seen doj doing it and congress is going to look at it, too. sanctuary cities are going to pay an enormous price if they maintain their current status. rich: one of the challenges after you've detained people if they're in a country or from a country that doesn't take back their migrants, what do you do?

>> yeah, that's tricky and we've seen already, the trump administration dealing with that quite effectively, but certain countries won't take people back so i think part of it is going to be diplomacy and trump diplomacy is, do you want tariffs or other sanctions and basically highly encourage them to do so and then we're going to have to keep them, i guess, detained until we find a place, either send them back to their country or another country because the most important thing in this administration knows this, is public safety. so if these are dangerous criminals they're not going to be on the streets of america and we've already seen with gitmo and other places where they're putting people until they get deported, but my guess, my suspicion will be almost every country will cooperate with the trump administration and take their people back. there may be an outlier or two or maybe for a short period of time, but most people are going to get arrested here and they're going to be detained very briefly and then deported. rich: a lot of that solution has been to deport some migrants to gitmo. do you think it will have to

expand beyond gitmo maybe some places within the interior of the united states? >> i wouldn't be surprised if we have gitmo-- they're using federal bureau prison facilities, they may use private facilities, but i think they're going to use whatever they need to use and maybe places are already built, but the thing is they are arresting a lot of new people, but deporting people more rapidly so the numbers aren't necessarily going to grow as much as people think because people as they get brought in, they're also going to get some out. the other thing that's important, people are not coming in, so now we're having a net gain or a net loss of people leaving the country as opposed to before like we're saying probably three million people a year coming under biden and few people being deported so that part is changing as well. rich: very quickly, we've heard some raids have been tipped off and reporting on it. how much of a problem do you think that has been, leaks of raids ahead of the time before they happen? >> well, it does seem like that one in colorado was a problem, but the problem is for the people tipping people off is they're going to be in the

cross-hairs of doj for obstruction, for harboring federal felonies and ice is going to get these guys. these tren de aragua, they may have gotten away for a day or two, but they're going to get caught anyway. people of the mindset they're going to obstruct they're going to quickly learn it's not worth it and the people they're trying to help will get caught anyway. rich: thank you. president trump plans to untrail new tariffs, ka major -- a major escalation as china prepares tariffs against the u.s. eddie. no! fraser. frank. frank. fred. how are you? support up to seven brain health indicators, including memory. when you need to remember, remember neuriva.

>> dhs secretary kristi noem is visiting north carolina to visit the devastation left by hurricane helene and recovery efforts. >> hello, rich. we're hearing from secretary noem at this moment and she's

been speaking with officials and fema's new acting administrator and she says that she has learned about the resilience of people seeing the devastation in western north carolina firsthand, but says the number one goal is getting their advice about how the federal response could have been better and can be better going forward. listen. >> the previous administration failed in many areas and we're going to learn from that and do better. the city of asheville went for almost two months without water and fema failed to answer nearly half of the calls from people that were asking for assistance. >> she's also looking into potential political targeting from fema and she also says that a lot of people were ignored by fema when they were kicked out of temporary housing. again, she's also with fema's acting administrator cameron hamilton right now. kristi noem says that president trump set up a task force that will go forward and address how to better improve fema. again, they are still talking

right now so more to come on that in later shows, but this visit comes nearly five months after helene hit the region and killed more than 100 people. secretary noem also met and spoke with survivors again, again, getting a firsthand look at the destruction as thousands of families remain homeless. secretary noem's visit comes as president trump and some of his administration is still criticizing fema for its response. during his visit to western north carolina days after his inauguration, the president is considering getting rid of the agency altogether, but fema says it's continuing to help over 150,000 families in the state through funding, temporary housing and other basic needs. if you ask local, state and federal leaders, they say it will likely be years until the destroyed areas do get back to normal and they say it's going to take a lot of funding. we're talking tens of billions of dollars. i spoke with representative pat

harrigan of north carolina, he says the biggest long-term issue, and he says that sean duffy will be there to look at the damage to i-40. rich: madison, thank you. ♪ >> as america welcomes new foreign investment we also want to ensure that companies build their products and factories here in america, not simply buy the assets that we have, they've agreed to invest heavily in u.s. steel as opposed to own it. that sounds very exciting. rich: and president trump announced that japan's nippon steel will invest in u.s. steel. they pitched to acquire u.s. steel for $15 billion which president joe biden rejected while in office and trump was on the same side with biden on that issue. to discuss that issue with me

is richard stern, from the federal budget at the heritage foundation. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me on. rich: all of this with nippon steel, do you think that an investment is going to solve this issue and eventually going to move on here? >> absolutely. this is trump the deal maker that we've come to know and love. we're talking billions, perhaps tens of billions of investment in building new factories, breaking ground and building up the capacity that leads to good jobs and restores the manufacturing base. rich: do you think that the biden administration's concerns were overblown here? >> the thing about this, the biden administration doesn't like production, things being made here, they didn't like supporting american workers. i think that trump has figured out a secure way to preserve our steel industry, to bring in investment from a trusted ally and make sure it results in a stronger manufacturing base. rich: this is coming at a time as we expect chinese tariffs or chinese-made goods in the united states and hit and change now. mexico and canada got a

reprieve. do you think that china will get a reprieve? >> probably not. canada and mexico, of course, we were negotiating over geopolitical issues about securing the border making sure that frankly, chinese fentanyl can't come across the border. china is a longer strategic coupling. our trade with china is down 43% since the peak about 10 years ago. so these retaliatory tariffs meant to secure from chinese security influence. rich: china is targeting with their retaliatory tariffs, mostly republican districts to try to gain some pressure, i guess, on the president. do you think that's going to work? >> i don't think it is. this president doesn't budge. the other part is that not that cher they're politically targeting the tariffs, what they're doing is try to stop their factories from being dependent on our energy sources and machinery. frankly they're scared.

they know they need us much more than we need them and why they're lashing out the way they are. rich: it seems like a lot of it falls short of the major pieces of u.s.-cha trade and that is the u.s. taking very sensitive technology, banning that from going to china, but china could always retaliate by taking rare earth minerals off the table for us, couldn't they? >> they could except we have plenty in the ground. what trump is trying to do open up the lands to be able to feed the u.s. industrial base, but we have allies like australia that have the rare earth minerals as well. we have the technology, but they don't have a monopoly on the minerals. rich: the latest report shows the transition from the biden administration to the trump administration, a drop of about 40,000 jobs the last four months of the biden administration. the annual revision showed about 590,000 fewer jobs were created last year than initially forecast or initially thought, there was another revision a couple of years earlier, the other way for the

biden administration. how does the trump administration take that handoff from the biden administration and with the tariff conversation, does that impact jobs at all? >> so, we were looking at a boyd administration -- biden administration that looked at crushing inflation and interest rates hikes because of the reckless government spending. those strangled the economy and proof of that, 1.4 million jobs seem to have fabricated on paper and disappeared once we got real people into the agencies. trump is going to reverse that, deregulation, unleashing our industries, and the sky is the limit how many good jobs we could have. rich: richard, thank you for joining that. and an order would affect laws in democratic run cities that currently ban plastic straws like california, new york and

others. the biden administration previously started phasing out plastic straws on federal land in july. the midwest and northeast are facing a winter storm threat this weekend. details coming up.

>> a winter storm spanning across multiple states affecting several big cities over the weekend. this is just one of a few different storms over the next week expected to dump snow on millions. fox weather's robert ray is live in green bay, wisconsin. what's it like out there? >> yeah, hey, rich. good afternoon to you and everyone watching from one of the beautiful neighborhoods here in green bay, wisconsin. you can see covered with snow. you know, february has decided that it wants to up its ante on all of this precipitation, this winter weather. look at this, guys. we're at the base of lambeau field, green bay packers. okay, so they're not in the super bowl this year that airs on fox tomorrow, nonetheless, the shrine in the tundra with the snow coming down, three to four inches we've gotten already. look at some of this video from around green bay of the

snowplows that are out dropping that salt and brine to try and make these streets safe. folks from green bay, they're used to this winter weather. to be honest with you, it's been mild the past few years in the wintertime. a 17-inch deficit for snow. that's changing this afternoon and evening as the fluffy snow has fallen by our estimation, about four inches thus far. they could get above eight and in some areas maybe more. 90 million people, americans, affected by this system that's trekking across the upper midwest and into the northeast later tonight, and as you said in your toss to us here in green bay, we've got about a week of multiple storms headed into the system, into the united states. be ready, february, yeah, it's all about the wet weather and this snow, rich. back to you. rich: robert ray in green bay where it looks like just like green bay does look in

february. robert, thank you. let's turn to fox weather center now for where the storm is headed. meteorologist adam klotz is live with the forecast. >> hey there, rich. yeah, ultimately we'll see this system push along the east coast where arm air meets and cold air meets typically where you see the rain or some sort of precipitation, that's happening right now. on the southern side of this, boy, it's truly warm. we're looking at 20-plus record breaking temperatures for your saturday. spots across the south, the southeast getting into the 80's, pushing 90 degrees. it's where the warm and cold air meet we'll ultimately see a wintery mix. this is what it looks like off and on in the d.c. area where you are, rich, 34 degrees, just above freezing. 33 degrees in fork c new york city. all of this is lifting up taking you overnight. and the concern for ice, where the temperatures are warmer and that's green and looking like rain. as of right now, largely, this is an ice event maybe along the

coast, but this is going to continue to lift itself up overnight, temperatures get colder and especially further north. some of the interior of new england could see a decent amount of snow. a spot like new york city kind of right on the borderline there. and you'll see a little bit of rain, ultimately some ice and snow mixed in as we head overnight hours as well. and by the time we get to sunday, lingering, and temperatures in the 30's. this is where i'm concerned about, everywhere in the pink, eight to 12 inches of snow in some of the areas, higher elevations, but everything in the hash line where ice is likely, that's probably the d.c. area and probably a little bit of new york and stretching back in the ohio river valley. so, ice, rich, that's the thing that we're paying close attention to as we head into the overnight hours. rich: stay off the roads if you can. thanks, adam klotz, for joining us. and we have much more ahead on president trump revoking biden's security clearances and
