reimpose 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. the president saying there will be no exceptions or exemptions. we will have a report on that later in the show. my wide ranging interview with president trump moments away. but, first, here are some other stories making headlines at this hour. designated terror organization hamas says it will delay the further delay of hostages violating cease-fire deal. hamas officials say the resumption of hostage releases depends on whether similarly israel, quote, abides by its obligations and israeli officials say israeli prime minister netanyahu is consulting with securities officials. moments ago in the oval office, president trump said if all gaza hostages are not returned to israel by saturday at noon, he would cancel the cease-fire and adding it is up to israel. the fox forecast center says three separate winter storms are expected to sweep across a large portion of the u.s. this week. those storms are forecast to

bring the threat of widespread snow and ice. tens of millions will be impacted from coast to coast. one of president trump's most controversial cabinet nominees up on capitol hill, tulsi gabbard, just passed a major hurdle setting up a nomination vote in the full senate this week to confirm her as the director of national intelligence. the senate is also likely to see a confirmation vote this week for robert f. kennedy jr. to serve as health and human services secretary. and a group of investors led by meeivelg says it's offering more than $97 billion to buy artificial intelligence research organization open ai. the group says it wants to buy the company and revert it back to its original charitiesable mission as a nonprofit research lab. open ai ceo sam altman quickly rejected that deal on musk's social media platform x. stocks were up today, led by technology stocks on artificial intelligence optimism. the dow gaining 167, the s&p 500

added 40. the nasdaq jumped 191. now, to my exclusive interview with president trump. i spoke with the president for nearly 40 minutes on a host of topics saturday afternoon in his home in florida, mar-a-lago. we want to bring that to you in its entirety in chronological order but without the portions related to the super bowl, the game day predictions. that aired during yesterday's pregame show. we begin with the trump administration's all out blitz in making major policy changes. >> bret: you know, it seems the first days of this administration are like a no huddle offense. you know, plays going down the field, one after another. there's a long list of things you have already got done. >> right. >> bret: in three weeks. big border policy changes. ice crack downs on criminals. taking biological men out of women and girls sports. big energy policy changes. so what's different with you and your administration, the difference between the 45th president and the 47th

president? >> well, with the 45th i had tremendous opposition. i won. i did a great job. i never ran before and i won the presidency. but i didn't know people and i didn't have the kind of needed. i put people in office some greats once i wouldn't have put, i would have known better if it were a couple of years later or had a little more experience in d.c. i was a new york person. not a d.c. person. and i had a lot of opposition. i just noticed i looked on the stage for the recent inauguration and i'm looking it's like a who is who of washington. well, if you look on the stage for the first one it was just the opposite there weren't a lot of people that were washington people. and i had some great people but i had some people that i wouldn't have put there. and i had opposition that i don't have now. this great unity. even many of the enemies are already, you know, whether they gave up and they just said look, we are going with this guy, but i have great support in the business community and the political community.

you take a look at the senate right now. it's been phenomenal. you take a look at the house. we have our philip both is fantastic. we really have tremendous -- we have a tremendous moment and it's great for the country. and all over the world they're talking about it. there is like a light shining all over the world. some people have said that not just hear, all over the world. >> bret: so, some of your plays have raised questions and pushback. 19 attorneys general filed lawsuit and early saturday a judge agreed with them to restrict elon musk and his team, government efficiency team in doge from accessing treasury department payment and data systems. they said there was a risk of irreparable harm. what do you make of that and does that slow you down on what you want to do. >> i disagree with it 100 percent. i think it's crazy. we have to solve the efficiency problem. we have to solve the fraud, waste, abuse all of the things that have gone into the

government. you take a look at the usaid the kind of fraud in there. >> bret: you found significant things. >> we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of money going to places where it shouldn't be going where if i read a list you would say it's ridiculous. have you read the same list and there are many that you haven't even seen. it's crazy. we are talking about hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars, it is just a fraud. it's a big scam. now, there is some good money and we can do that through any one of a number -- i think i would rather give it to marco rubio over at the state department. let him take care of the few good ones. but, i mean, usually when you have a list like that, you will have a couple of like bad ones and all good ones. here we have a couple of good ones and all bad ones. just hundreds of horrible places that they are giving this money. i don't know if it's kick backs or what is going on. the people, look, i ran on this, and the people want me to find it i have had great help with elon musk. he comes in with 100 very smart

people. started off with 12. then it went to 15. then it went to 25. then it went to 50. everybody wants to join. i guess you have to have an iq of about 175 at least to do it. they are a smart group of people. they don't dress as well as you or maybe me. but they are smart. they go in there and they talk to people and the people get all tongue-tied because they have no idea. nobody thought this would be caught. >> bret: you will fight this in court. how does it work with elon day to day? does he come in and say this is what i'm working on? does he say this is what i'm doing? >> first of all, he was a great guy. he was never really a supporter or not a supporter. semi neutral kind of a guy. not a political person. very smart. brilliant person. and which i like. i'm a big believer in iq points. it's a good thing. and i have gotten to know him a little bit over the last couple years. during the campaign he liked i said. he went to pennsylvania. he actually campaigned right after the rocket ship came up where he caught it coming down

which nobody saw before. he then took off. he went to pennsylvania. he actually campaigned for me and did a grey good job. i won pennsylvania by a lot -- i won everything by a lot. elon i would say go in here because usaid i heard very bad things about for years, you did too. i i'm sure he did too. it's a scam, a fraud, a lot of it, most of it. look at the jobs they produce for people. i'm not going to mention the name. too big a show to mention their name. almost unfair. the whole thing is a giant fraud. i think judges will have to do the right thing really. otherwise, you will have a whole big thing with the country. >> bret: bottom line you say you trust him. >> trust elon? oh, he is not gaining anything. in fact, i wonder how he can devote the time to it, is he so into it. i told him to do it. then i will tell him very soon like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the department of education. he's going to find the same thing. then i'm going to go to the military. let's check the military. we're going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars

of fraud and abuse. and, you know, the people elected me on that. and we have a group of people that you just can't get. i mean, these are really brilliant -- i call it the group of 100. we literally started off with 14 or 15 young geniuses. now we have 100 young geniuses. and what's happened i will probably get a lot from the show. people are calling up from all over the country wanting to do and wanting to help elon. they respect him and they respect me. they love what is happening with our country. i campaigned on this, bret. >> bret: you announced tariffs on canada and mexico. i immediately got action from both of them on border security and drug interdiction. >> i did a lot of action nobody expected. >> bret: is that good enough. >> no. it's not good enough. >> bret: more needed in 30 days? >> we have a tremendous deaf sit with mexico and canada and europe. the eu. with china, i don't even want to tell you what biden has allowed to happen with china. they are eating our lunch. and something has to happen. it's not sustainable.

and i'm changing it. but, when i talked about canada, they gave us tremendous security. it started out with security. then it started getting economic. it's really both. >> bret: you know the prime minister said this weekend or a group of canadian businessman, he was private meeting. he said that your wish for canada to be the 51st state is a, quote: real thing. is it a real thing? >> yeah. it is. i think canada would be much better off being a 51st state. we lose $200 billion a year with canada. and i'm not going to let that happen. it's too much. why would we do that? i asked trudeau that question. i said why would anybody want to lose $200 billion? why why, as president, say i'm going to give you 200 billion a year? canada, you are a different country. and i love canada. i have so many friends in canada. you can't count them. wane cigarettes is i, i love wane gretzky. i love some people. i love their tradition and ice hockey. why are we paying $200 billion a year, essentially in subsidy to

canada? now, if they are a 51st state, i don't mind doing it. the canadian citizens would have a much lower tax rate. they would have much better medical and military protection like nobody can have. you know, you have russian ships all over the place. you have chinese ships all over the place. they are sailing all over canada. they are sailing right next to greenland. we are not going to let that happen to greenland. they are sailing all over. we're going to stop that but, if you are a canadian and you pay much lower taxes and much better military protection. you know, canada is in default in nato. they pay the lowest number of any country for nato. and it's not fair. do you know why they do that? because they think america is going to protect them automatically. we can't do that anymore. so as of -- but, as a state. it all works great. as another country, i'm not going to do it. now, what is going to happen, if i take away the subsidy, canada really ceases to become a viable nation. >> bret: we talked about china and that tariff is in place. have you said tariff is a

beautiful word. >> that's just a small portion of it. i just did to china having to do what is happening with fentanyl that was a penalty to china. because they are sending massive numbers. i mean numbers like we have never seen before. >> bret: so more to come. >> really increased under biden. what's happened under biden is a disgrace. not only the prisoners, mental patience, everybody from all over the word. not south america, all over the world. how he allowed this to happen. and when you see the great job that tom homan is doing and kristi noem and everybody else that they are doing, with taking thousands of people a day out of here, and these are hardened criminals. these are murderers in many cases. biden allowed this to happen to our country. we shouldn't have to be doing this. >> bret: you said the tariff is a beautiful word. there are some signs in the markets, consumer confidence, that they are a little jittery. so if all goes to plan, when do you think families will be able to feel prices going down? groceries, energy? or are you kind of saying to them hang on, inflation may get

worse until it gets better? >> no, i think we are going to become -- look, we are not that rich right now. we owe $36 trillion. that's because we let all these nations take advantage of us same thing $300 billion. we have a deficit mexico $350 billion. i'm not going to do it. i'm not going to let that happen. in the meantime they are building car plants in mexico in order to sell cars in the united states. our auto workers. look at the kind of support i had with auto workers. republicans don't get that support i won the teamster union. i no support like everybody has. cars sell them in the united states no. way. not going to do that big tariffs. i don't want those cars. we can make those cars right here. you look at canada. canada has a very big car

industry. they stole it from us. they stole it because our people were asleep at the wheel. what happens is canada is going to have our cars. we are -- if we don't make a deal with canada. put a big tariff on car. 50% or 100 percent. we don't want their cars. we want to make the cars in detroit. >> bret: sports has something to rally around and come together they really do. you won the popular vote. you won all the swing states still solaris got $75 million in the whole country. >> if you believe the whole thing. ridiculous. but, bret, excuse me. there were seven swing states. i won them all. >> bret: you did. >> by a lot. >> bret: let me get to the dismount here. >> i won the popular. >> bret: have you thought about how to try to bring the country together to reach out and try to find common ground. have you thought about that or how that might go? >> i would love to do it and i can tell you just prior to covid coming in, we were doing so well, the greatest we have ever done. there has never been an economy

like ours. anywhere in the world we were doing so well we were eating china's lunch. tariff china for $700 billion over a period of years. we were doing so well. and then we had the covid. we had to worry about that. we took care of it. we did a great job with it, and it was back to business. but, i would say this: we have to come together. but to come together, there is only one thing that's going to do it. that's massive success. in my first term, when we hit that number, and i mean the day before i heard the word covid or pandemic, they told me, sir, i think there's a pandemic. that was not a good thing. i said tell me about pandemics. but the day before we hit that word, i had a meeting with political people and pollsters and everything else. and they said, sir. if george washington and abraham lincoln got together and ran as president and vice president, they couldn't beat you. our economy was so good. you know that the best ever.

the best we have ever had. and, everybody was coming together. i was getting a call from very liberal people, senators, congressman, people outside. people that normally weren't speaking to me. and they were all getting -- they were coming together. then we had the pandemic back to work. we had to do it. and, you know, i was very proud to have handed over the country and the stock market was higher than it was previous to the pandemic coming in. it was an amazing achievement. woe did a good job millions of people all over the world. countries were destroyed far worse than us. some countries still suffering from the throws of the pandemic. but, the word is success. success will bring the country together. but it's hard. and i say it's hard. i just signed a bill allowing for women not to have to be punished by men in sports.

in other words, men are not going to be allowed to play in sports. against women. it's ridiculous. you saw i quoted a couple things, long distance race where the won by 5 hours and 25 minutes. 5 hours and 25 minutes. not by 12 seconds. boxing, you see what happens there. weight lifting, setting records hundreds of pounds more. it's the craziest thing. we are never going to change and perhaps they are never going to change because i saw that after i signed the bill the democrats were complaining about it. they want men to play in women's sports. open borders. i don't want to have open borders. i want to have very strong borders. i want people to come in but they have to come in legally and they have to love our country. they have to be capable and merit. we won a big supreme court case it's called merit-based. we have the right to have merit-based. >> bret: let's talk about -- >> -- so it's hard to come together when you have some people want a closed border and some people want an open border. some people want men playing in women's sports. some people are big in

transgender, the republican party isn't. with all of that being said, we were coming together when the country was the most successful it ever was, which was not very long ago during my term. >> bret: you say you trust elon. i mean, you can't imagine a scenario where you would have to rail him in or set up guardrail. >> i think i have guardrails. elon reports to me. he is doing a fantastic job. i wanted somebody who is extremely intelligent. he's that he's also a good cost-cutter. you can't send an average person into that quagmire. it's a very dangerous quagmire. i watched some of these horrible people like maxine waters, real sleaze, i watched her screaming at the security guard or whoever he was. actually, he was pretty cool. >> bret: at the department of education? >> pretty cool standing in front of the departments of education. she is only looking for trouble. she is not looking to help

people learn. tell maxine and all of her friends that were last in education out of 40 states we are last. number 40. number one in cost per pupil. that's all you have to know. we have to make a change. i want to send education back to the states. you know, if you send education to iowa and to indiana and to a lot of these states that are so good, to idaho, they have no debt. they no crime. they have no this. they have no that. it's like perfect. because the best states are, if you look at the list of the top, the best countries for education, it's norway and sweden and denmark and finland. by the way china is right up there in the top 5, which is pretty amazes for those who say it's too big for that it's rated in the top 5. we are number 40. and we can have -- if you take those states and many others, i think 35 states, they would be as good as denmark and norway. they would be as good as the number one, number two, number

three, number four, they would be in there. on a country wide basis, i think we have 35 states would be in that category. then you would have five or six that would be mediocre and then you would have the same ones that are bad on crime and bad on everything probably would be bad on education. they would almost be forced to get better. you could take new york as an example, and you don't have to do one, you do five or six. do you suffolk county, do nassau county. you do west chester county. then do you upstate new york. and do you manhattan. you know, you have five or six or seven. and they would be small enough where they could really give some personalized education. also, the spotlight would be on that. it wouldn't be a country. just on manhattan, or it would be on nassau county or west chester county. and if we did that, if we sent them back, our educational system would be double and it would cost probably half. do you know what, bret? it would cost so little. >> bret: that's the next step? >> have you seen how many buildings the department of education occupies in manhattan?

and i keep saying what do they do? it should be done locally, also we should have school choice. >> bret: there are a lot of hot spots around the world. i want to hit a few quickly. with israeli prime minister netanyahu, you said this: >> the u.s. will take over the gaza strip and we will do a job with it, too. we'll own it. >> bret: that caught a lot of people by surprise. >> some positive. >> bret: some positive. even some of your partyers wondered whether that meant u.s. troops would be going into a dangerous middle east conflict. where is it today? >> i have been watching. 50 years, 60 years they go in. they occupy, they get slaughtered, everything is terrible. everyone leaves. they go back. going on forever. right? now, it's essentially a demolition site. it's practically no building that's livable in the whole thing, in the whole gaza strip. i say we go in, we knock them all down, we just create -- no more hamas. there is no hamas there. there is nobody there we move

them into beautiful areas of the middle east. i would like to go egypt. they have a lot of land. i would like to go to jordan. i would like to go to others. and we'll build beautiful communities for the people. safe communities. could be 5, 6, could be two. build safe communities a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is. in the meantime, i would own this. think of it as a real estate development for the future. it would be a beautiful piece of land. >> bret: would the palestinians have the right to return? >> no. they wouldn't. because they are going to have much better housing, much better -- in other words, i'm talking about building a permanent place for then. because if they have to return now, it would be years before you could ever -- it's not habitable. it will be years before it could happen. i'm talking about starting to build. and i think i could make a deal with jordan. i think i could make a deal with egypt. we give them billions and billions of dollars a year.

>> bret: when you hear the pushback from the middle east, what do you think? >> i don't hear pushback: i'm not talking about big money, it will be stabilized if the united states owns the gaza strip, if people aren't living in the gaza strip. hamas is in there. because nobody is there poem are there. nobody is going to be there later on it can be developed. >> bret: you are not saying u.s. troops. >> no. israel will watch it. because it's right next to israel. >> bret: what's the time frame? do you have a time frame? >> i would say let it start almost immediately. i would like to get some land from these others. we will get saudi arabia. we will get. so great people. we have incredible people in the middle east. we will get these people to finance it. it's not a lot of money. you are talking about building 1.8 million. that's not a lot of people. relative to other problems in the world. when you look at what's going on in ukraine, when you look at what is going on in other places, i mean, in ukraine, they

have lost 1.5 million soldiers already between ukraine and russia. you want russia peace deal, i think it's going to happen. i think we have made tremendous process. we are dealing with the russians. we are dealing with the ukrainians. i think there is going to be something done. i hope. >> bret: zelenskyy says is he up to doing equity deal get rare earth minerals or something. >> i asked them. the united states is in for $300 billion. probably 350. and europe is in for probably 100 billion. $100 billion. we're in for more than twice. maybe even three times what they're. this should have never happened. biden should have never let that happen. you know it happened with nato when i got in and i had it equalized and raised hundreds of billions of dollars. nato became very rich after me. we were paying almost all of nate toy tawas unfair military

and take advantage of us. they are very tough. the eu on trade is horrible. but nato is very unfair and i made it fair. i said, look, if you don't pay, we're not going to defend you. and the money came in like nobody has ever seen before. the secretary general just left. he said i have never seen anything. when trump left all the money started rolling. in all these people were delinquent. canada was very low. it's about the lowest payer in the whole thing which is very unfair. do you know why they are low payer because they think the united states is going to take care of that do you think that's fair? it's not fair. >> bret: ukraine though you think can you get a deal. >> i think so. >> send american weapons until do you? >> what i'm saying is the following. they have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earth, in terms of oil and gas and other things. i want to have our money secured because we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars and, you know, they may make a deal. they may not make a deal. they may be russians some day or

may not be russians some day. we're going to have all this money. i say i want it back. and i told them that i want the equivalent like $500 billion worth of rare earth. and they have essentially agreed to do that so at least we don't feel stupid. otherwise, we are stupid. i said to them we have to -- we have to get something. we can't continue to pay this money. you know,. >> bret: on the russian side how do you get putin? do you squeeze him to get him to the table? >> look, i say it all the time. this would have never happened if i were president. if the election weren't rigid, this would have never happened, and let's see whether or not fox lets you put that in, okay? you hear me rigged. let's see i mean, it would have -- this would have never happened, it wouldn't have happened with putin and october 7th would have never happened either. iran was broke. they were down to their last, very small amount of money. now they have $350 billion. but they have other problems. and, you know, let's go back

over there because i'm the weaver, i'm the great refer. >> bret: trust me. i get it. >> somebody said oh, he ran -- no, no. only the fake news said that to we've weave you have to be bril. >> bret: get back in the weave. >> but i like the weave because it covers a lot of territory and covers it much more quickly but if you look at hamas had no money, because iran wasn't able to pay. iran had no money. they were down -- i had sanctions on them. tremendous sanctions. china i said if you buy oil from them you can't do business with the united states. they took a pass. they were down to nothing. now they are up to a tremendous amount of money. >> bret: do you think there is a deal there in iran? >> yeah. i think we are going to make a deal on iran. i would rather, you know, okay, there are a lot of people that think that we are going to attack. >> bret: or israel with our blessing. >> or israel. israel needs us. everybody needs us.

we have the weapons. we have the strength. we're very strong. i rebuilt our military. people forget. i rebuilt our military. now, they shouldn't have given a lot to afghanistan. which they did. they gave a lot. there was no reason. very strong, we have things that nobody else has. so they need us. but, everyone thinks israel with our help or our approval we'll go in and bomb the hell out of them. i would prefer that not happen. i would much rather see a deal with iran do a deal. supervised. check it, inspect it, and then blow it up or just make sure that there is no more nuclear. >> a better deal than the obama nuclear deal. >> that was the dumbest deal that would have expired by now. on it. nuclear weapon. you cannot allow iran or just about anything else by the way.

but especially because they are very militant. you can't allow them to have a nuclear weapon. there is two ways of stopping them. piece of paper and i' would much rather do a deal that's -- not going to hurt them. i think they wanted too. i think iran is very concerned. i think that iran is very threatened to be honest with you their defense is pretty much gone. maybe they are trying to get new defense as we speak. meaning air defense their defense is largely gone. they have had very bad moments. >> the whole thing with the pager was a disaster for them. it was a horrible thing. it was knocked out, a lot of leadership a lot of leadership like nobody has ever seen before. iran is very nervous. i think they are scared. i think iran would love to make a deal. i would love to make a deal with them without bombing them. >> bret: iran you think a deal

is possible. china you are saying maybe a deal is possible? have you talked to president xi? >> china is so economic. so trade-based and biden allowed china to go crazy. and we have a deficit with china of over a trillion dollars a year. can you believe it? but, with all of that said, china needs us because they take out so much money out of the united states. we're not going to let them take out the kind of money they are taking out now. we will let them to take out money and they will do very well. we want them -- i happen to like him a lot. president xi. >> bret: have you talked to him? >> yes. i love talking to him. >> bret: since the inauguration? >> yeah. i have talked to him. and i talk to his people, too. his people come in all the time. we have a very good personal relationship. you know, i don't want to sound foolish. >> bret: you had him here mar-a-lago. >> i had him here mar-a-lago. i know him well. know him better than almost anybody. i know kim jong un from north

korea. most people never even will ever get to talk to him. >> bret: i was on that trip. i remember it well. >> you can attest to it. i to hit on a couple other things. had you republican senators here at mar-a-lago. >> i did. >> bret: they are in kind of a back and forth with the house. about one big beautiful bills, two bills. >> not much. >> bret: has anybody figured it out? have you decided? >> the relationship is incredible. we had about 50 of them here last night for dinner at mar-a-lago. i think john thune is doing a fantastic job. and i think that the speaker, mike johnson is doing a fantastic job. i think mike has even harder job because he has got literally actually it's probably five if you think about it. right now it's about two or three. that's pretty tight. unity in both the house and there is great unity in the house and the senate. last night i made a speech actually i think on television, if the press wants to stay, i

couldn't care less. i think it was probably on to a large extent. there was a great love and respect and unity in that room last night. and we had, i guess, close to 50 senators there. we had a couple couldn't make it for other reasons. >> bret: so you think the process doesn't matter? eventually you are going to get there one way or the other? >> i believe we are. we have a very dangerous thing that was given to us, unfortunately. very b foolishly called debt ceiling. the debt ceiling i call it 1929. bad things could happen. it should be just psychologic p. somebody made a bad mistake, stupid mistake, actually. and we inherited. i can't imagine the democrats don't don't want to take explosion. the likes of which we have never seen. i think it's very important that we the vote.

i can't see the democrats giving people the largest tax increase in history. so we have to extend it and i think make it better. make it even more productive. we can do things we did even better than we did during the trump tax breaks. >> bret: you want to raise defense spending. >> i think we have to have it. pun of the reasons speak with though. we do have amazing military. but they are also getting -- one of the things i will be doing with president xi and putin and everybody else is saying let's ease up on all this building all of this, you know, the bombs. we're talking about massive amounts of money. $900 billion. you know, it's interesting. russia was spending about 57 billion, prior to the war. and china about 200 billion. we were about 715. so we always spent more dot it mean we got better? we have better equipment than everybody else. nobody has even close to us. it's crazy to spend the money on things that hopefully aren't

going to be used. >> bret: i mean, the tough part is if you don't want to cut intirttlements and do want to add to defense spending and you want to eliminate taxes on tips and want to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent. >> yeah. >> bret: that's a lot of money. >> we will be taking tremendous amounts of money on tariffs. we're going to have tariffs. we're going to take in tremendous amounts of money. >> bret: you think doge is going to make up difference. >> doge is going to make up a lot. that's unrelated to tariffs. it's not fair that other countries have really taken advantage of it. and it's our leaders' fault. i'm a different leader. not fair other countries taken advantage of us for so many years. now all of a sudden not allowed to have tariffs. they have done this to us for years. we haven't. i think reciprocal tariffs, i will be talking about it i think probably on monday or tuesday i will have a whole big thing. we have a very sophisticated plan. i want to have tariffs

separately on that on steel, on autos, on semiconductors and chips. and probably pharmaceuticals. >> bret: you are not worried that any of that is going to go back to the consumer. >> it might. but it will ultimately be much less expensive. i will give you an example. the so-called fat drug or fat shot, whatever it's called ozempic or mo mounjaro, in londn $88. in london $1,200 you can't even buy it. very unfair. the identical package made in the same factory, shipped to different places but made literally in the same factory in london it's $88 and in new york it's $1,200 and you can't get it. and the reason is because everything is added onto the united states because the united states has been too nice. i had transparency done. and biden canceled it transparency would have solved

that problem i want to solve it one way or the another. rent control in new york. but at some point, nobody is going. other countries, go canada, all of the drugs are much less expensive. i suggested that some of the governors should go buy their drugs in canada and send them back to here. it's very simple. so, i think we're going to do some amazing things, really amazing things. >> bret: last thing. you have a lot of things on your plate that you are going to do. right now. >> one thing did i last night that's very popular in the straw. they gave us the paper straw. it melts. it's horrible. you start -- they should make it in flavors because by the time you are finished it is so horrible. i ended the paper straw. we are going to go back to plastic. >> bret: about a 90-10 issue. no one lost the soggy straw. >> this was a big biden issue.

i'm sure put things in front of him and sign. i think you are right at least 90% issue. >> bret: right now, do you view vice president j.d. vance as your successor, the republican nominee in 2028? >> no. but is he very capable. i mean, i don't think that, you know, i think you have a lot of very capable people. so far i think he is doing a fantastic job. too early we are just starting. i will say. >> bret: by the time you get to the midterms is he going to be looking for an endorsement. >> a lot of people have said this has been the greatest opening, almost three weeks in the history of the presidency. >> bret: fastest and most happening. >> done so much so fast. we really had to because they have really what they have done to our country is so sad. so sad. we're going to be bigger, better and stronger than ever before. >> bret: mr. president, we appreciate all the time. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. thank you, bret. >> bret: bring that full interview to you. up next, president trump taking executive action just moments ago in the oval office. we will go to the white house

for an update. plus, the panel on my interview with the president and his actions today. that's coming up

exclusion and alternative agreements. so this ends all of that most steel and aluminum imports come from canada, mexico and brazil during the president's first term imposed similar tariffs but he did grant exemptions to those three countries and some experts think a deal might be ahead, especially with respect to canada. that's where the u.s. gets 70% of aluminum and the president's to get tonight that canada should become a 51st state and then it would face no tariffs. president faced processes act bribery of foreign officials. doj pause enforcement to put u.s. businesses disadvantage over foreign competitors. then he signed an order on paper straws he a many promised in interview with you nobody likes paper straws the federal government procurement is going to go back to plastic. he made dozen of subcabinet and ambassador appointments and pardoned former illinois governor blagojevich who served 8 years in prison for trying to sell barack obama's senate seat,

trump commuted his 14-year sentence back in 2020. then he got into the questions with reporters. and when he was asked about hamas delaying this weekend's planned release of three hostages, hamas accusing israel of violating the cease-fire agreement, president trump said all of these hostages must be released on saturday or he will urge israel to call off the cease-fire and all hell will break out he expects the plan to move forward with egypt and jordan. listen. >> jordan had expressed. >> tomorrow. >> taking in more gazans and palestinians. how are you going to convince him to do otherwise? >> bret: i think he will take. i do think he will take. i think other countries will face, also. they have good hearts. >> finally we had news today on the release of the jfk assassination files. on friday the a.g. and dni offices presented their plan to the president to release those files and disclose that some 2400 previously unknown of files

were uncovered by the fbi as a result of the presidents' day one executive order. they were never vetted by the review board or the national archives. so, awaiting a plan and we will see the rest of that come out, bret. >> bret: okay. we will follow it all. jacqui heinrich live on the north lawn, thank you. >> as far as i'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by saturday at 12:00, i think it's an appropriate time. i would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out. i would say they ought to be returned by 12:00 on saturday and if they are not returned, all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two. saturday at 12:00. >> bret: deadline there. that's from the oval office minutes ago. let's bring in our panel fox news chief political analyst

brit hume. annie linskey white house reporter for the "wall street journal" and josh kraushaar. brit, first of all, your overall assessment? you listened to 34 minutes of that interview and he what he is saying today. what was the big take away for you? >> brit: i thought it was a little of the old trump and still defending his first term record and some of the new trump as well. i thought it was interesting interview and you were up against the thing that anybody who ever speaks to him is up against these days that is the fact no sooner do you finish his interview that he is talking to the press again at length and making more news. here we are now with the 25 or 30% tariffs on those two countries which make news. and go to your question, bret, which he really did duck about, you know, when the situation with prices might start to get better with in his administration. and he basically started saying how rich we are going to be. he ducked the question. i think as we look ahead here,

yes, the actions he has taken so far widely approved of, sooner or later the price decreases and the inflation reduction that he promised doesn't start to happen, patie patience may begio wear thin. >> bret: annie, we got more details on his thoughts about gaza and in the oval office he said if egypt and jordan didn't help take refugees that maybe the u.s. would stop aid to those countries. it's, you know, it's painting a picture here of something happening that maybe leaders in the middle east are reacting to every day. >> yeah. i mean, the president's pronouncements about gaza and israel have been major shift from the last administration. and they have been, you know, sort of head snapping for americans as this was not necessarily something that he spent a lot of time campaigning on. you know, one of the things i thought was so interesting about

your interview was the extent to which trump, you know, he has been a politician for 10 years. but he really still does bring this sort of developer businessman view to government. and, you know, when he was talking about -- whether it was drug prices or whether the debt ceiling, you know, the tax bill, he had an openness to working with democrats and, you know, kind of pivoting away from the old ways in which washington has worked. so, you know, i found, you know, the more rehear about that, i think the more american people are interested in that. >> bret: foreign policy, obviously we talked a lot about that. he might be meeting with president zelenskyy from ukraine. he said today, next week, josh, and, you know, kind of laid out the picture that they think he thinks theres' a deal in a number of different foreign

policy hot spots. >> president trump sees himself as the ultimate deal maker. talks tough at times. he hasn't returned to accommodate putin as some of his critics have said. he wants to get some natural resources from ukraine and thinking outside the box. we saw sort of that type of thinking when he commented last tuesday about the situation in gaza. this is a very outside the box thinker. this was a president that you saw enjoying this political honeymoon issuing executive orders. talking extensively about america's role in the world stage. and he's someone who may be dealing with some hiccups in the weeks to come. but, this is someone whose job approval at over 50% in the cbs news poll this weekend shows that this is a president who feels confident and is eager to get things done. >> bret: all right. panel, stand by if you would. we will have more with the panel. reaction, after a quick break.n) ♪ money managers,

>> bret: breaking news out of scottsdale, arizona we are looking live here in scottsdale at the airport there. there is a private jet that veered off the runway crashed into business jet there we're told one person has died. others injured. getting some more information from the faa. again, that's scottsdale two private jets colliding. we will continue to monitor that. as well. >> i think we sip criminal tariffs.

i will be talking about it. i think probably on monday or tuesday i will have a whole big thing. we have a very sophisticated plan. i want to have tariffs separately on that on steel, on autos, on semiconductors and chips. and probably pharmaceuticals. >> bret: and you're not worried that any of that is going to go back to the consumer? >> it might. but it's ultimately going to be much less expensive. >> bret: and we're back with the panel. brit, that is the economic test ahead of how this is going to play out with the population. >> brit: yeah. exactly, bret. and i'm so glad you asked him that because, you know, you also got into the question of what we're going to be able to do about the looming crises with our entitlement programs. and with the size of this debt. and in the end he said, you know, we can do all these things and we're going to make it up with tariff money. which says to me, at least, that the tariffs are not simply going to be a means to the end of

negotiation for some better trade terms here and there but are going to be a main source of revenue for this administration. and if you are imposing tariffs for those reasons, you are going to end up -- there is no doubt that thafer tariffs in the short run and pretty much very much so in the long as well raise prices. and this is a president who is committed to bringing them down. so i think there is a real challenge there. >> bret: annie, thoughts? >> that is one of the central tensions of this trump 2.0 administration. he made some news last night on tariffs. on air force one. he sort of announced that he would do these 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum and that's when he was talking to you. you know, he referenced the pharmaceutical industry, the chips industry. these are all areas that americans rely heavily on all of these goods. and pay a certain price. so, if we are looking at a

scenario where that price did is going to go up. i think he is going to be heading straight into a wall of consumer discontent. so it's something to look at. i will say the early moves that he has made, particularly with doge, are things -- are popular in the united states. >> bret: very popular. >> he is getting a lot of support. >> bret: josh, politically, i asked that question about the heir apparent and whether he thinks j.d. vance would be the 2028 nominee basically his answer was too early. there are lots of people who are capable. but he is very capable. >> donald trump does not want to give up the spotlight. he doesn't want to talk about 2028. usually if you are a second term president, you can't run for re-election, you start out as a lame duck. this is a very unique second term presidency where donald trump, i thought it was interesting that he said he didn't understand or, you know, is he from new york and didn't fully understand washington, d.c. he understands the levers of government now. he knows thousand use them i

think there is a lot of political opportunity. there is a lot of significant policy changes that are going to be taking place. we're seeing that with doge. i think the challenge that trump is going to face and elon musk is going to be a central player in this is how much does doge end up cutting and does it effect a lot of spending that actually benefits a lot of americans, especially when it comes to the defense department? >> bret: brit, i tried to get into the weeds there tried to get back into the conversation. >> brit: yeah. he said he liked to weave. one point like josh said the president being enormously benefited at the moment that the democrats are rising to the bait on these things the president is doing really quite popular. foolish on their part ought to wait until something like higher prices come along and have a real opportunity. so far they are making a mistake. >> bret: panel, thank you for digesting that with us. i appreciate it. ♪
