>> dominating. dominating, man. if i'm being honest i was sitting in an eagles section. the domination felt before the game started. eagles fans were loud. bradley cooper, they run out. they were juiced from the start. we didn't give enough credit to how dominant that defensive line is. hurts is a great mvp. if you could give it to those four guys on the defensive line, they would deserve it. >> steve: awesome job. we'll watch you at 4:00 this afternoon for the will cain show. >> 4:00. it's a morning of hope. a morning of hope. a lot of jets and giants fans. >> for the second time the vince

lombardi trophy is handed to philadelphia. eagles win super bowl lix. >> bill: the eagles hoisting the lombardi trophy. not the only ones making a smash at the super bowl. super bowl monday in america. good morning, dana. >> dana: good to have you back. everyone was thinking of you and your family and hi to your mom. i hope you're watching this morning. >> bill: to all the viewers and colleagues who were so supportive. inside we're tight as a fist as a family here. thank you. >> dana: i'm glad you are back. i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." he was ready to talk about sports. the eagles defense dismantling the kansas city chiefs and making things hard for patrick mahomes. >> mahomes is sacked. second and 14. four-man rush. again, sacked again. >> bill: it went like that, right? chiefs nation did not have much

to cheer about. fans of both teams happy to see the president in attendance. here is the the moment from the national anthem. listen. ♪ [cheers and applause] >> dana: trump is the first sitting president to attend the game. his appearance marked a cultural 180 for the nfl as the league bounces back from anti-police protests and woke policies. >> bill: the president sat down with bret. he saw a game as a chance to unite america. >> you are going to be the first sitting president to attend a super bowl. a big day for america. always is. what made you want to do it? >> president trump: first of all i'm surprised to hear that. i would have assumed many presidents came. the country has taken on a whole new life. i thought it would be a good thing for the country to have the president be at the game.

>> dana: travis is on deck for reaction. peter doocy is at the white house. good morning. >> good morning, dana. we can report today from the white house that president trump still has a long memory. he has not forgotten taylor swift endorsed kamala harris and explains the truth social late last night. the only one that had a tougher night than the kansas city chiefs was taylor swift. she got booed out of the stadium. maga is very unforgiving. field level last night defensive tackle chris jones from the chiefs sought out the president for a handshake during the pre-game and in the suite the president and patrick mahomes family posed for a friendly-looking photo. back in d.c. the doge cost cutting effort continued despite democratic protests. the president has no problems with this team led by the world's richest man. >> you say you trust him. >> president trump: trust elon? he is not gaining anything. i wonder how he can devote the time to it he is so into it.

i'll tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the department of education. he will find the same thing. then he will go to the military. let's check the military and we'll find hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. but i campaigned on this, bret. >> the plan is to save trillions $0.01 at a time. truth social far too long the united states has minted pennies that cost us more than $0.02. so wasteful. instructed the secretary of the treasury to stop producing new pennies. let's rip the waste out of our budget even if it's a penny at a time and plans to tackle bigger things too. >> any steel coming into the united states will have a 25% tariff. , 25%, about. >> president trump does not have any official events on the schedule today. the tariffs are supposed to be

announced at some point by the close of business unless, of course, like last time some kind of a deal can be worked out beforehand. >> dana: keeps us on our toes. thank you. >> bill: clay travis joins us now. we'll get to the news from the interview in a moment. first you are a big sports fan. the eagles showed that they were bigger and better in every aspect of that game last night. what is your take? >> yeah, my biggest take and congratulations to eagle fans. i was wrong. i think the biggest take away for everybody. i would say this if you are a parent out there, jalen hurts's story, bill and dana, is one of the most compelling in all of sports right now. for people who don't know, he was benched at halftime before and had to stand on the sideline and delete with that.

he transferred from alabama to oklahoma. bill, two years ago we were sitting next to each other when he really outplayed in many ways patrick mahomes but his team lost. this is a perfect example of being steadfast, mentally tough, of using a downward moment in your life to build back something better, and i just think jalen hurts embodies what kids should want to aspire to do in sports. it was a big story for a long time. michael jordan getting cut from his high school basketball team helped to fuel the story of michael jordan. i would argue jalen hurts getting benched, coming back to be the mvp of the super bowl is one of the great stories in football history and up there with jordan in terms of someone being so mentally tough that they were able to handle the slings and airs owe and come

back. to me that's the biggest story in addition to maybe finally the chiefs running into somebody that they couldn't win a game late against. we'll see whether the die nasty is threatened by the chiefs. right now congratulations to philly. >> dana: i look forward to seeing jesse watters at 5:00. he'll be very happy. >> is he still sober, dana? i saw your tweets, dana. you looked like a diehard sports fan. i don't know who was helping out. i was -- did somebody else -- you were questioning the offensive line of the chiefs. you were praising the d-line of the eagles. you got football tutorial. >> dana: knows are all my tweets but sitting next to abby hornacek and she was collapsed in laughter. the other big thing of the game

is donald trump went. the nfl a few years ago led newscasts with how woke they had become. bret and the president yesterday. >> you won the popular votes, all the swing states. have you thought how to try to bring the country together to reach out or to find common ground? have you thought about that or how that might go? >> president trump: i would love to do it but i would say this. we have to come together but to come together, there is only one thing that will do it. massive success. success will bring the country together. it is hard. >> dana: did you feel that in the air last night? >> i did. and i think there are several things that are important. first of all, congratulations to president trump for doing this and his team to think to do it. the fact that no sitting president had ever been to a super bowl before was a record scratch moment for me and i'm a

big sports fan. we have past presidents, first ladies, vice presidents. i predicted he would get cheered. first, players, coaches and executive in the nfl i believe voted for trump. you saw chris jones, star defensive lineman for the kansas city chiefs specifically seek out trump on the field to shake his hand. you saw patrick mahomes's family come into the suite to get a picture taken with him. and look at the numbers. 60% approval rating for trump among men. i don't remember the last time that happened. that's according to a cbs poll that game out yesterday. also plus ten among voters under the age of 30. i think this is a sign that the country is rallying around trump and you know what they did? they booed taylor swift. now to be fair, i think a lot of nfl fans are tired of the taylor

swift/travis kelce story force fed to them and there were a lot of eagle fans who didn't want to root for taylor swift. i think the feeling and cheering that trump got during the anthem was also connected to another reason i think it was important for him to be there, he honored the terror victims of one month ago down in new orleans, a fabulous city. i thought it was a very unifying moment. he made the right call. i think the nfl now loves trump. i think sports fans do, too. i think he will be going to more and more sporting events. one, he is a fan but two, i think it's good to see an energetic president after joe biden has sleeping for most of his term in office. >> bill: when you is a i the right call david axelrod put this on x last night. a year ago biden refused the super bowl interview. that decision was a major sign of trouble. trump is all over it today. so that is in hindsight.

clay, nice to get your reflections today. thank you for coming on. appreciate it. >> condolences to you and your family. love you and you guys keep up the good work. >> bill: i appreciate that. very much. more on bret's exclusive interview tonight ott bret's show. more news to be made. >> dana: by the time we get there. president trump signing a proclamation declaring february 9th gulf of america order. it was formerly named the gulf of mexico. not long before burgum put on a photo showing the name change. just like that. we now have a view of the gulf of america. >> the pilot made a big announcement on air force one. a cool moment. that from yesterday. now we want to go to the middle east with weather the hostage matter there is a big and

serious matter. watch here. >> turning directly to president trump and to mr. witkoff. get the hostages out this week, end of war. >> the shocking conditions by the latest hostages released by hamas are being compared to holocaust survivors. the parents of one of those hostages killed in captivity makes an emotional plea. they will join us in a moment live with a message that everyone needs to hear. >> dana: the deadline is fast approaching for federal workers to accept the trump administration's buy-out offer. could a judge toss out the whole thing? we'll preview a hearing happening later today. >> how the judges are launching counter attacks at trumps's agenda. moving fast. can they slow him down? andy mccarthy will tell us on that. >> we're seeing them cry and scream and they need to adjust to reality and they are having a hard time with that.

>> bill: there have been three more hostages released by hamas as part of an ongoinging cease-fire. that weak and gaunt conditions causing shock in israel. this is what they looked like before and now. calls for president trump to get more hostages home and soon including the parents of an american israeli hostage murdered by hamas. >> we received the wonderful news that the two men were released today. >> seeing the condition of these three hostages i'm turning directly to president trump and to mr. witkoff. all 76 hostages out this week, end of war. who benefits from dragging it out for so long? not the people of this region.

let's get it done right now. >> bill: they're back in jere us liam. live to alex hogan watching the story from london. >> we're learning more about these hostages who were released, what they endured and their first moments of freedom. let's start with 56-year-old man. he was reunited with his family and wife who was a hostage and released last year. his daughters say they were shocked with how frail he was, barely recognizing him. it was a much more grim homecoming for the other two hostages. 52-year-old man came home not to find his wife and daughters waiting for him but nor him to find out they had been killed on october 7th. the same for 34-year-old. who didn't know his wife had been killed when he was taken hostage. there was this moment, the reunion with his son, his 3-year-old had been without both

parents for the last 16 months. he said during this time in captivity, he had been held barefoot in a tunnel so small that he couldn't even stand. so giving insight into what he dealt with during that time. hamas paraded the hostages this weekend ahead of their release. some said they had been told repeatedly they would be released only for hope to be shattered. the fifth swap since the cease-fire began in exchange for these three israelis this weekend israel freed nearly 200 palestinian prisoners. i interviewed the brother of orr, one of the hostages released this weekend who said he would do everything he possibly could to get his brother home. he was never going to stop. the fight that so many of these other families of the hostages were willing to continue. we know an israeli delegation is in qatar to continue some of the talks to be able to continue the cease-fire. >> bill: if that was their

condition you wonder how many are still alive. alex, thank you, alex hogan in london on that. >> dana: let's bring in john and rachel, their son was murdered by a hamas terrorists in captivity. they joined us before and you have an important message. let's hear from president trump. his reaction to the treatment of the hostages. >> president trump: they look like they have aged 25 years. they literally look like the old pictures of holocaust survivors. the same thing. the same thing. and i don't know how long we are going to take that. >> dana: for those of us following this story closely and you follow it more closely than anybody, that it was so shocking and so upsetting that when president trump said that it gave maybe some people a little hope that we could move this thing along because hamas is benefiting from this. being able to have all the propaganda and all the thing and the cruelty was unbelievable.

rachel, let me start with you on what you think should be done next. >> well, we both feel very strongly that president trump and mr. witkoff are the most professional deal makers that could be handling this situation. and all of the people that we talk to feel grateful that they are the ones who are involved. that's why our plea on instagram saturday night after we saw the release of these emaciated holocaust-looking hostages, we said we have to expedite this deal. this deal that is currently written to stretch over the coming months. it is clear that these hostages don't have time. if these are the hostages that are coming out it means the ones who haven't yet been released are in worse condition. and so our plea and our cry and

our greatest prayer is that president trump and mr. witkoff will figure out how to make this deal happen quicker, faster, more speedily. >> dana: one of the things it feels urgent. those hostages provided information back to the idf that yes indeed there are hostages there who are alive and being held in terrible conditions. >> it's true. i even want to back up for one second and say these conditions they're being held in we are learning how terrible they are. it is not totally new information. i remind you and the viewers that 163 days ago our son and five others were found bullet ridden in a tunnel with no electricity, no water, no food, no air. and our son was six feet tall and weighed 150 pounds. they were skeletal.

we wrote and talked about it and we thought that maybe then that would be the trigger to get world leaders to push to action. it didn't work. thankfully right now president trump and mr. witkoff are getting things moving in the right direction and we just want it to happen faster. the people of the region need it to happen faster. >> dana: before we came on air bill hemmer asked how you are doing and rachel you said we're breathing and i'm sure that the days feel extremely long for you. there was a tweet i saw from somebody a person who i follow on x talking about the former hostage at times i said to myself you aren't getting out of there and i saw the people and you who came on the streets for us. it is what gave me the hope to go on. on occasion the hostages were able to find out that maybe catch a glimpse of the news and find out that people were fighting for them. obviously you continue to do

that. if they're able to hear anything from you right now what would you like to say? >> they have got to know that every single person is fighting for them, loves them. they must stay strong. they must survive. they must come home. everyone is waiting for them and no one is giving up on them. we workday and night. every one does for them to come home. >> dana: final word to you, john. >> well, i like that the story before ours he talked about president trump and showed him saying successful bringing the country together. that's so true about israel as well and success for israel right now is bringing home 76 hostages. and so the world needs it, the families of the hostages need it. i remind the virus on fox there are six americans remaining in captivity among the 76. success is bringing is every one of them home. as many as possible alive and

doing it today, tomorrow, this week, getting it done. >> dana: i love seeing your faces. thanks for coming back and we'll keep in touch. thank you. >> thank you, dana. >> bill: stay strong. president trump main wheel sending additional active duty troops to defend the southern border as the crackdown on illegal immigration is in full force. get to that and this. check it out. >> the government is far too big, far too bloated and we're an path to see it shrink. we're moving in the right direction. >> bill: crowds trying to disrupt doge's plan to trim the fat despite support from most voters and say they're ready to take extreme measures. what will that be? kaylee and guy will take it on coming up. good morning, guys. ♪ —uh. —here i'll take that.

judge will hear arguments in trump's federal buy-out office for 2 million federal employers after extending last week's deadline. alexandria hoff love in d.c. where things stand today. alex, good morning. >> good morning. there is a definite degree of uncertainty for the roughly 65,000 federal employees who have already accepted the deferred resignation plan. the judge hasn't weighed in on the merits of the case but pushed back the deadline for workers to decide. he will hear from the government and federal employee unions today. those unions argue the office of personnel management lacks the authority to make such an offer. questions whether the government is able to pay the buy-out. they said the program is not being blocked or canceled. the government will honor the deferred resignation offer. here is karoline leavitt. >> we encourage federal workers in the city to accept the very generous offer. if they don't want to show up to the office and rip the american

people off, they are welcome to take this buy-out and we'll find highly competent individuals who want to fill these roles. >> the original email accepting the resignation program means retaining all pay and benefits regardless of daily workload through september 30th. democrats are wary. >> i've been saying to all the federal employees, beware of this offer. i don't believe it has been funded or donald trump has a history of ever paying his bills. i fear the federal employees may be marked for later potentially without any compensation. >> administration argues that's not the case and feels this extended deadline helps their downsizing efforts since thousands of federal workers are returning to in-person work this week and might decide they would rather not. >> bill: interesting to watch. alexandria hoff. nice to see you in washington, d.c. see how it goes. >> dana: on capitol hill democrats are calling for more

aggressive tactics to resist president trump's reform agenda even if it means a government shutdown? what? kayleigh mcenany and guy benson are here with more. here are cory booker and andy kim on the sunday shows. them talking about how they want to resist. >> the strategy is to do whatever we can to stop donald trump from hurting americans, for making us less safe, less secure and from raising our costs. >> you are open to voting yes to shut down the government? to make this point? >> this is on them. we're at a point where we're on the cusp of a constitutional crisis. seeing this administration taking steps that are so clearly illegal. and until we see a change in that behavior, we should not allow and condone that nor should we assist in that. >> dana: nbc news has this headline. we're figuring it out. democrats struggle to keep up with trump's dizzying pace. they don't know where to look. >> trump has done more executive

orders in ten days than most or all have done in 100 years. a dizzying pace. and he kim went on to say we're at the cusp of a constitutional crisis. that's the new buzz word. chris murphy said oats a constitutional crisis. >> dana: that signal has gone out. >> they now learned the rhetoric did not work, the threat to democracy. not to mention we have hakeem jeffries talking about government shutdowns hurting working people. that's out the window 60 days later. >> bill: james carville has another twister. play this with his unique idea now inside the party. >> it's like there is a plant somewhere in quote progressive unquote america that just sees how many stupid things they can embrace. it is stunningly stupid, both of them. >> bill: i would have liked to

have seen that on camera. it is stunningly stupid when the imagine -- imagine ortive of americans have to balance a budget. they are trying and the democrats are saying you keep doing that we'll shut this place down. >> one buzz word is constitutional crisis. another phrase we're hearing argument from the democrats is no one elected elon musk for his team. i just don't understand from the party that has fully supported to the hilt every federal -- now one person unelected making recommendations to try to reduce the size and scope of government that's the crisis? who elected them? that's logic, that argument could be easily applied to the

bureaucratic state they are defending possibly with a government shutdown. i haven't heard them grapple with that hypocrisy at all. no one has asked them. i wonder if there will be pushback from many of our colleagues in the media. so far not so much. isn't a surprise. >> dana: i read this morning in the liberal patriot. they are pretty moderate democrats saying perhaps going after elon musk all the time is not the best bet. these are voters to abc and how they support musk and trump. >> it's pretty characteristic of elon musk and i think that the whole idea of coming in and looking at government efficiency was going to be very destructive by design. immigration and safety and security and one of the things that swayed me. so i'm glad to see bold action because i think it's needed. >> i'm not entirely certain he is going about it the right way. what he is setting out to do needs to be done.

>> dana: getting the same goal may not be the right way to do it, who knows, but like what they're seeing. >> they like what they are seeing. he is not touching medicare, medicaid, social security that effect all americans. he is finding common sense items like the penny. who would have thought we're watching the super bowl and trump says i have instructed the treasury secretary not to produce the penny because it costs $0.02 to produce it. if you are going to call that waste let's do it. can it be disruptive? sure. usaid preserve funding is very important but he is disrupting the system. fixing the problems with band-aids along the way. >> bill: he told bret the department of education and pentagon will be next. he is convinced you will find millions of dollars inside those departments as well. if this works, guy. we could look back on this moment as saying you made our government better. that would be a good thing.

>> especially in some of the low hanging truth. it would be definitely in the billions at the least you would save. a lot of these gigantic unaccountable agencies and look the idea there is no oversight whatsoever. there is congressional oversight. the judges are already fielding the lawsuits. judicial side of the government, that element will also look at this. so i think the way the democrats are talking about it like elon musk has this band of unaccountable people and storage the castle and burning everything to the ground is not actually what's happening. it feels like the democrats are casting about for something to find a purpose again and they've chosen this. they've chosen defending federal bureaucrats and illegal immigrants. interesting priorities they have settled on. maybe they could have waited for a better one but here they are. >> bill: maybe carville is right. >> he is sometimes right. >> sometimes. >> bill: on the legal front president trump is moving at

break neck pace to implement his agenda. a few federal judges trying to tap the brakes over the weekend. will they be successful? andy mccarthy will tell us what wins and what doesn't after this break. everywhere but the seat. the seat is leather. alan, we get it. you love your bike. we do, too. that's why we're america's number-one motorcycle insurer. but do you have to wedge it into everything? what? i don't do that. this reminds me of my bike. the wolf was about the size of my new motorcycle. have you seen it, by the way? happy birthday, grandma! really? look how the brushstrokes follow the line of the gas tank. -hey! -hey! brought my plus-one. jamie? patients who have sensitive teeth but also want whiter teeth they have to make a choice one versus the other. sensodyne clinical white provides two shades whiter teeth as well as providing 24/7 sensitivity protection. patients are going to love to see sensodyne on the shelf.

illegal migrant encounters continue to plummet. check this out from saturday. 331 encounters on saturday alone. in guantanamo the military expanding the facility housing up to 30,000 illegal migrants until deported to their home countries. last two flights have brought illegal migrants there so far. kristi noem visited gitmo on friday and talked about concerns over human rights. >> what we're doing is giving due process to migrants. we have done that all the fame following the same procedures we always have been. where are they advocating for the children that are missing that joe biden lost? why not advocate for families who lost children? laken riley's family, jocelyn's family. >> in houston ice announced they got a criminal alien wanted for

we get word from a court in new hampshire as we speak. disclosure of those who worked on the january 6th cases and you have the usaid which was a first shot fired on behalf of trump 2.0. andy mccarthy is with us now and good morning to you. legally where do you think he can win and where do you think he loses? >> well, i think the best thing he could have doan don in teeing up this fight is have the big spending fight over usaid. thomas jefferson and john marshall didn't agree about a lot and didn't like each other particularly but both agreed the president had authority over foreign relations. the president sets priorities including spending priorities for the conduct of american foreign affairs. so i think if you want to have a fight over what spending and resources the chief executive

needs and have the president's power over that affirmed, i think that was the place to pick the fight on foreign relations. >> bill: let's rattle off a few things. a lot of activity over the weekend. jd vance said this on x. if a judge tried to tell a general thousand conduct a military operation, it would be illegal. if a judge tried to command the a.g. to use her discretion as a prosecutor that's illegal. amy klobuchar, senator from minnesota did just that. >> you know, he knows better. there are three equal branches of government in this country and it is clear that the judges have started stepping in. they know it is wrong. but again they're doing this at the behest of one donald trump. and it is our job in congress to stand up to it. >> bill: another clip from trump i'll play in a moment. do you think on any of the ones we've shown on the wall where he

definitely loses? can you say that right now? >> no, bill. because i agree with the term that you and dana used before the break. they are tapping the brakes at this point. they are not stopping trump from doing anything because at the moment, for the most part, what they are doing is inspecting government spending and to the extent that spending is illegal, unconstitutional, or it turns out to be congress trying to invade the executive turf in violation of separation of powers principles that spending can be curtailed. >> bill: listen to this. >> president trump: a long way to go. we're talking about fraud, waste, abuse and when a president can't look for fraud and waste and abuse we don't have a country anymore. we're very disappointed with the judges that would make such a

ruling. >> bill: a long way to go, he says. and presidents have looked at this in the past. no one has been successful, i don't think, at any point will they be? >> i think they will be because the public is now taking an interest that it hasn't taken before in very specific areas of federal spending. i saw elon musk within the last few hours, bill, said that fema had sent about $60 million to new york for the maintenance of illegal aliens who were being given various services up in new york. that's not what fema is for. so if it's not within the four corners of what congress has provided fema for, that would be illegal spending. if that can't be canceled we don't have the law. all these people who are talking about the rule of law, that means the spending has to

comport with the constitution and to the extent congress has the authority to provide it, the four corners of whatever congress said in its statute. if the spending is outside that it should be canceled. >> i saw that on x two hours ago. $59 million to pay for hotels. i think he said it was in one week alone. that seems high to me but we'll check it out on our own. thank you for coming on today. more to come on this certainly. andy mccarthy, thanks. >> dana: bird flu detected in nevada. how officials are responding to that threat. plus president trump looking to deploy more tariffs this week including some reciprocal measures. with his favorite trade tool level the playing field? >> he is trying to make things right. you know, trading with the united states is a privilege, not a right. so if you don't play by our rules we just don't play with you.

doing just fine. >> bill: we have some news out there that people need to be aware of. new variant of the bird flu infected dairy cattle may have a mutation that helps the virus copy itself in other mammals including we humans. jonathan hunt is on that story live in los angeles. hey, jonathan, good morning. >> good morning. bird flu is spreading among birds and dairy cattle right now. the fear is that as the virus mutates humans may become more vulnerable and virus could change further to make it possible for human-to-human spread raising the prospect of another pandemic less than two years after we officially emerged from the covid crisis. it is important to point out this is not deemed a public health emergency yet. the centers for disease control still rates the current public health risk as low as all bird markets in new york city are shut down. number of infected poultry

across the country soarrs 169 million. so far 67 confirmed human cases in the u.s. and one death. but the move from birds to cows has scientists concerned. it demonstrates the ability of the virus, h5n1 to adapt. the new version d11 is the one that killed a louisiana resident in january and infected a 13-year-old canadian girl on life support at one point but eventually recovered. now last fall the u.s. began stockpiling a vaccine officials believe would be effective against bird flu in humans. not used yet given the low number of infections. >> bill: you will stay on it, i'm sure of that. thank you, jonathan. thank you. >> president trump: i would have assumed many presidents came. i think just the spirit of the country. the country has taken on a
