ukraine. no current cuts at the pentagon. looking at everything. p.t. with the troops this morning at age 44. >> dana: he would listen to the commanders on the ground for the need to do what we need to do in order to fight back against terrorists that are growing in africa across the continent. >> part of the reason some of these questions came up in africa is what the conference is about. one of the first acts as president donald trump ordered a hit in somalia that the phrase was blew the caves out of there. that's the story we'll watch over the next couple of weeks. >> dana: there is waste to be dealt with at the defense department and that all of those savings should go to the war fighters. he made a lot of news there. i thought he did an excellent job and there were some good questions. harris faulkner is next. >> harris: we begin with the fox news alert. the president is announcing a

bigger lean-in now on the crackdown to end our country's illegal immigration crisis. the new chapter, the acting head of fema says payments to new york city for illegal immigrants and their housing have been suspended. i'm harris faulkner. are you in "the faulkner focus." this move comes after the department of government efficiency posted on the shocking cost of this crisis. so far, new york city has spent a massive $7 billion with a b dollars on illegal aliens. just last week fema gave $59 million to the city including 19 million for hotels. remember, if you want to get a hotel in this city you have to compete with where they are putting people. the roosevelt has been taken over. we've shown it to you many times. the rest of the cash covered food, security, shelters, and

miscellaneous other services we're told. elon musk is arguing this directly contradicts the president's executive order to review the agency's spending. new york republican congressman mike lawlor. >> new york city, a sanctuary city, has been wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money, billions with a b to provide free housing, clothing, food, education and healthcare to illegal immigrants, including criminal aliens that are here illegally. we have incentivized cities like new york and states like new york, a sanctuary state, to allow this to continue. it whats to stop. >> harris: you know he worked in the white house, ari fleischer will be with me moments away. i want to start in new york city with our correspondent nate foye. these are big numbers for people who came here and broke our first law, our law of

sovereignty. >> huge numbers, harris, 59 million just last week and we're learning more this morning about the four workers the department of homeland security has already fired for unilaterally sending that money from fema to new york city to take care of illegal migrants in defiance of federal leadership. the people that were fired we're learning include fema's chief financial officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist. elon musk revealed all this on x after doge workers discovered it and musk had some criticism for former president joe biden. under biden fema took money away from americans in need of disaster relief and spent it on five star hotels for illegals, pure evil. musk says the payment directly contradicts donald trump's executive order that requires a review of fema. trump and dhs secretary kristi noem say major changes need to

be made with how fema works. new york city councilwoman agrees. >> wouldn't it be nice if we were able to take these people who are freezing to death in north carolina and house them in our hotels? but no, we're busy housing illegal migrants. >> new york city tells fox news it doesn't pay luxury hotel rates and the 59 million payment was previously allocated during the biden administration. the city claims it spent $7 billion in total on migrants since the spring of 2022 and only a fraction of that $237 million came in the form of federal support from the biden administration. city hall confirmed it received this recent payment telling fox news we have continued to receive previously allocated reimbursements through the past week and discuss this matter directly with federal officials. adams is also angling for an extra billion dollars in state

funding for the migrant crisis this fiscal year but governor hochul is hesitant to give him that. the city has been slow to submit the receipts to be reimbursed for money already spent. >> harris: they sped up the crisis with a sanctuary sign that said just come no matter how you got here. they sped that up but want to slow walk giving american taxpayers the receipts for how much of our money they've spent. that's obnoxious. thank you. former white house press secretary ari fleischer. i have a key question for him. if the funds were allocated and the president said there is a freeze how do they go around that? he will be in "focus" to talk about this and the former white house press secretary and we'll get into it. also right now, a 25% tariff on all foreign steel and aluminum

coming into the united states. no exceptions or exemptions from president trump. he says the tariffs aim to boost our economy by encouraging domestic steel and aluminum production. >> president trump: we have a tremendous deficit with mexico and canada and a tremendous deficit with europe, e.u., with china i don't want to tell you what biden has allowed to happen with china. they are eating our lunch. something has to happen. it is not sustainable. i'm changing it. we'll take in tremendous amounts of money on tariffs. >> harris: it is worth noting those tariffs are different from the one the white house just put on china. that tariff adds an additional 10% on all goods coming in from china. president trump also has threatened canada and mexico. you know how that went. those leaders caved. the president agreed to a one-month pause. of course, mexico is sending

10,000 members of its military per their president to the border on their side to help us stem the tide of people crashing into our country illegally. in a new op-ed for fox, white house senior counselor for trade and manufacturing peter navarro writes it's a new golden age for american steel and aluminum. wonder what he means? he joins me now. how golden will it be on these two issues, steel and aluminum? >> it will be so golden, harris, we'll have to call it a platinum age. the importance of steel and aluminum to our national defense and economic security cannot be underestimated. it is critical. in the first term of donald trump he imposed the tariffs on steel and aluminum. we had over $15 billion from the steel industry alone. aluminum industry boomed. what happened over the last four

years under joe biden's sleepy watch is enormous amount of country exceptions that have allowed a flood of aluminum and steel into our country. the steel industry is on its knees now. aluminum is flat on its back. the president yesterday signed two proclamations that will bring the golden age for steel and aluminum back. what is really interesting here, harris, is it's not just china and russia sticking our steel and aluminum markets. it is all of our friends and allies who we gave special treatment to. instead of abiding by the rules of that, they abused them. brazil floods us with steel slab. we have japan on the high specialty end. australia is just crushing -- crushing with the help of china, our aluminum sector and the

president says no more country exceptions, no more product exclusions, which we had over 300,000 of. off we'll run into a beautiful golden age. we expect a lot of new investment and it goes. >> harris: in a moment i want to get to what it means for americans just every day. i want to hit it quickly. apparently prime minister justin trudeau in canada can't leave fast enough. they haven't replaced the top of the ticket. he is still running things and not happy about this. he calls it unacceptable in his words. e.u. chiefs vowed retaliation is writing unjustified tariffs will not go unanswered and trigger firm and proportionate counter measures. "wall street journal" editorial board saying it is political rent seeking and a most brazen and its benefits few at the expense of the many. what do you say about all that? >> well, i want to remind canada

that these are not new tariffs on steel. we've raised them on aluminum. president trump put them in in 2018. biden gave canada and other countries free rein to flood our markets going around the trump tariffs and this is what we've got. i would say to prime minister trudeau, why did you give a billion dollars to an indian company to flood our markets and why are you flooding our markets with aluminum? we need a strong defense industry to protect not just the united states, but allies like canada. so president trump will do what he promised on the campaign trail. promises made, promises kept. he will defend our aluminum steel industry and done it with a new set of proclamations.

>> harris: what does it mean for prices for americans at home? that is some of the criticism or confusion around the issue. everybody has some aluminum or steel. the building industry. how does this effect everyday life here? >> we had that same conversation, harris, when the original trump tariffs were put on in 2018. a lot of pearl crushing good inflation. we had none. what we'll get out of the trump tariffs is prosperity and price stability. what we got out of biden was the inflation and that was from colossal overspending. we're cracking down on all of this. drill baby drill will bring down prices and life will be great for the american consumer as well as the american worker. >> harris: you said something key. price stability. we need that now as we see the administration attacking inflation first by the energy that you are talking about. >> one of his highest priorities i can assure the american

people. >> harris: great to have you in "focus" today. thank you. traditionally left-leaning voting blocks are starting to peel away. where are they going? there is a reason why we're showing the president in this video. one group that went for trump this time that pretty much always goes for democrats. so what is new? plus i.r.s. employees could be getting some new powers. helping the immigration customs enforcement crackdown on illegal immigration. >> what an idea? we have way too much i.r.s. agents. american people need a break here. we need -- we do need a lot of help at the border. >> what are they going to be doing? the president's plan to expand enforcement is already happening. ari fleischer in "focus" next.

>> harris: all hands on deck. you heard me say that a lot yesterday as the secretary of transportation sean duffy was on the ground helping out with internate 40 and helene victims and they've been cut off with a third longest freeway in america up there. he was there. this is another example of president trump looking at all available resources as he expands his immigration crackdown. he plans to deputize i.r.s. agents who often work on drug trafficking and money laundering cases. they will have adjacent responsibilities now. kristi noem contacted the treasury secretary requesting i.r.s. agents to help ice investigate human smuggling, trafficking, illegal hiring practices and much more. here is senator roger marshall.

>> promises made, promises kept. all hands on deck. i think most americans would agree the most significant initial concern to our country now is the open southern border. let's use the i.r.s. agents to chase the money. think about this. all the human trafficking and fentanyl poisoning. behind that is money laundering. who would be better than the i.r.s. agents to track down that money laundering and work with dhs agents somme >> the president's strategy includes an aggressive push for countries to take back their people. the illegals here. two venezuelan planes returned home yesterday carrying nearly 200 illegals deported from the united states. venezuela for just a hot second refused to take back any deportese and immediately backed down. a theme you are seeing on different issues. president trump praising his team. >> president trump: when you see the great job that tom homan and

kristi noem and everybody else is doing taking thousands of people a day out of here. hardened criminals. murdersers in many cases. biden allowed this to happen to our country. we shouldn't have to be doing this. >> harris: in "focus" now ari fleischer. let's start with all hands on deck and all resources available. i have had voters' voices in studio with me love the idea of government working together almost like an added layer of accountability for each other. >> this is clever as can be. this is not stationing along the border a bunch of i.r.s. agents with number two pencils in holl steers. there is a criminal division inside the i.r.s. deeply involved in very complicated financial cases and this is a wise use as senator marshall pointed out. it's about money laundering. about human trafficking.

there is a financial component to all of this is criminal division inside the i.r.s. is actually really good at digging into, finding where the money comes from, finding where the money is going and wrapping up bad guys. i think it is a smart move and reflection of his priorities. he ran on closing the southern border. the other thing i will say one of the reason people don't come to america illegally is because they think they can't get in. he is creating an impression throughout the world. don't try, he will stop you. this is welcome. >> harris: you heard the president in a clip that we showed talk about the great job his border czar tom homan is doing. he has a stern warning, homan does, over some leaked information about those raids where they go in and round up the violent illegals. worst go first, watch. >> we think it is coming from inside.

some of the information we're receiving tends to lean toward the f.b.i. i talked to the deputy attorney general all this weekend. they've opened up a criminal investigation and they have promised not only this person lose their job and pension but go to jail. they will criminally prosecute. it's not giving the bad guys to give them a heads-up to escape apprehension. you are putting officers' lives at risk. this is not a game. >> harris: i don't want to take this too far. if you work against the federal government to protect its citizens that sounds like treason. >> what happened in jackson hole, wyoming this past week. a newspaper had somebody tell them there would be an ice raid. before the raid took place before the raid took place we hear ice is coming and printed it in the paper before the raid took place. it was a military deployment

what would we think about that. this is tricky business when this stuff gets made public. when it leaks it is police operation and you put ice agents in physical danger when you leak this information and people think they are coming and take extraordinary action to protect themselves. there is a lot to dig into here and tom homan is right to dig. >> harris: when he was on the program last week he said these are intelligence leaks. leaks of intel. that is -- that's working against the american government. talk about risks, these are residential area you are risking american citizens' lives, too. >> that's right. >> harris: i do want to ask you about something we touched on previously before you joined me. i said i would. this aluminum and steel tariffs that the president trump is putting on china to keep dumping from happening and driving up costs for americans. how is it that a government

agency can release funding when they want to when he has put a freeze on something through doge or another way? how is that happening? >> every agency has its own traditions and precedents and own willingness to buck the political leadership. a lot of it is the institutional far left that burrowed into government and thinks they're the cause of american success and without government the people wouldn't be successful. so they are really driven to act independently of their political bosses. some of it could be statutory. there are areas where if the statute is clear that the money must be spent. lawyers inside the agencies saying it is too late you can't re-- it's part bureaucracy but also statutory. >> harris: i gave one example the other was here in new york city earlier we talked about the 59 million that they released. maybe it was a situation where

yes, it had been allocated under biden but had to go by a certain date. i want to find out that information. otherwise it looks like it is thwarting the government. we'll dig deeper. let's get to this. president trump is delivering on campaign promises. poll numbers suggest americans like what they see. cnn's data analyst stunned apparently by how voters' positive reactions have spiked compared to last term. >> whoa, whoa, whoa, entire first term just 11 days, just 11 days donald trump had a net positive approval rating. compare that to the second term just so far. just so far. every single day of trump's second term so far he has been on the positive side of the ledger, 21 days, all three weeks. again, this is just another sign that americans are far more likely to like what they are seeing in his second term than

they were during his first term. >> harris: i love the jazz hands as he is trying to demonstrate how the numbers have gone up for trump. that poll shows his approval is way up with generation z. the zoomer voters as they are called. the young votes traditionally break for democrats. one opinion headline with a warning over the numbers, quote. hidden deep inside new polling is a major warning for democrats. well, ari, what's the warning? >> well, first of all harry is one of the best analysts of numbers i've ever seen. i follow him leading up to every election. the guy is not pro-left or right but pro numbers and good at it. what is going on is one, the president is carrying out his campaign promises and the fact he is doing common sense things on the border really has awakened the american people and given him what is rare, a favorable job approval. here is what is going on with 18

to 29-year-olds. barack obama in 2008 won 18 to 29-year-olds by 34 points. he won them by 23 points at re-election. joe biden won them by 25 points. kamala harris won them by only four points. donald trump cut what has been a 20-point favorite rating for the democrats to down to four points. a huge swing. of course if you start to win the youth vote, you think it will have a projection toward the future. trump is cutting the democrats off at their knees for the future they thought they would have. >> harris: that is a big drop for kamala harris and democrats. i wonder even how you approach getting that back as they begin to get older. they are now, you know, some of them as old as 28. life changes as you get married, have kids and those sorts of

things. statistically people become more conservative with their money. ari fleischer, great to have you. thank you so much. did you watch the super bowl? it had huge numbers. look at this. a record viewership for super bowl lix on fox. early estimates show 126 million people tuned in to watch the philadelphia eagles beat my kansas city chiefs on sunday. they beat them. it was ugly. pretty for the eagles, though. last year's super bowl attracted fewer than 124 million. the highest audience ever for that event. final numbers expected later today. i love the nfl. outrage from democrats as the doge team details its federal spending cuts. what a barrage of doge social media posts reveal about what unelected bureaucrats have been

doing with our cash. plus the legal battle continues over president trump's federal worker buy-out offer. fox legal editor kerri urbahn said this. >> they don't have to take it . i don't see what the issue is there especially and clearly a lot of those federal employees don't, either, considering how many thousands have accepted the offer. we'll see what happens given the judiciary's interference in that one. >> harris: federal judge is extending the temporary order to block the buy-out offer. thousands of people as you just heard kerri saying have already accepted it and gives it more time to consider what they will do. republican congressman chip roy of the great state of texas in "focus" next.

i had the worst dream last night. you were in a car crash and the kids and i were on our own. that's awful, hon. my brother was saying he got life insurance from ethos. and he got $2 million in coverage, all online. life insurance made easy. check your price today at ethos.com.

>> sign in the crowd said doge stands for dangerous oligarchs grab for everything.

i said then and say it again, that elon musk needs to keep his grubby hands, his greedy, grubby hands off of our government. >> you get your hands off of our money. >> every time you hear doge, the department of government efficiency, you just remember it is the department of government evil. >> harris: democrats have been holding daily protests against the department of government efficiency or doge as it flashes more wasteful government spending. doge has highlighted some of those cuts in a flurry of social media posts. 18 agricultural department contracts worth $9 million, 29 education department d.e.i. training grants worth $101 million. 89 education department contracts with 888, 881 million. one contractor there was paid 1.5 million to observe clerical

operations at a mail center. doge reportedly determine nateed a $2.3 million program training soldiers having difficult conversations. they can negotiate anything. money went to speak and act in a d.e.i. friendly way. president trump posted this. billions of dollars, fraud, waste, abuse has already been food. republicans like senator john kennedy of the great state of louisiana say they are on board. >> i'm unapologetically with trump and musk. among the blue hairs and opinion writers in washington, we're losing. we're winning with the american people. i think my democratic colleagues have chosen to support the bureaucracy and spending porn over the american taxpayer. >> harris: chip roy of texas, member of the house budget, rules and judiciary committees.

graft to see you today. so tell me about doge and how it plays out on capitol hill. >> yeah, harris, great to be on the show. the american people are beside themselves as they watch what elon is exposing and look, what a lot of us have been trying to expose for a number of years. i've been on your show talking about a lot of the ridiculous things we spend money on. i produced a report that called out a lot of the spending in usaid two years ago. god bless elon musk and god bless donald trump for having the fortitude and will to do what congress has failed to do. we've got $70,000 for a d.e.i. musical in ireland that we're funding with taxpayer dollars, $32,000 for a transgender comic book in peru? 47,000 for transgender in columbia? you can't make up this stuff. thats what we're funding. american people are sick of it. now you have judges who don't like the president is basically put in place a stay, executive stay, on the ridiculous spending

to review it, expose it and do something about it. now these judges are acting unilaterally to prevent the president from doing what he constitutionally has the power and duty, not just the power, the president has the duty to insure the taxpayer dollars are being used the way the american people sent him to washington to use them. >> harris: it is so critical the way you put that. the duty. it's more than a promise what he owes the american people. how do you fight that? >> well, right now the department of justice and smart lawyers will fight what these judges are trying to do. jd vance was correct. this is -- he is doing a great job at vice president. he is smart and understands how it plays out. i don't believe judges, courts have the authority or power to stick their nose into the constitutional authority of the president to carry out his job. imagine if a judge said that the president of the united states himself was unable to go down and open a computer screen and

look into data to make a determination about whether your social security number as an american was duplicated and being used by illegal aliens for a nefarious purpose. this wouldn't the constitutionally appropriate job of a judge. the president has that authority. j.d. recognitions it. the judges need to back off and understand what they are doing is interfering with the duty of the president. >> harris: that is a salient example you gave. people on the left are really saying that there are so many nefarious things that could go on if somebody had that access. what you are talking about is what americans want. we want to know if somebody will steal our identity. >> look how bad it was under president biden. he put out an order saying ice shouldn't do their juvenility limiting federal funds to kick out bad actors. the president now wants to

protect americans. joe biden wanted to harm americans leaving us exposed by criminals not imposing the law under ice. >> harris: a federal judge has now extended a temporary block on the trump administration's plan to buy out tens of thousands of government workers. the ruling came hours before last night's midnight deadline for more than 2 million federal civilian employees to accept trump's proposal. some 65,000 workers already have accepted that offer and president trump had this to say. >> president trump: it was a generous buy-out, actually. also if people don't show up to work we have a right to fire them. and they have an option they can show up to work or not. if they don't want to show up for work. the next step is if you worked before and during the time you are supposed to be working? many of those people in my opinion have -- even though they're collecting money from the federal government. >> harris: you have to read the art of the deal. he leaned in harder.

the trump administration has appealed another challenge now. a federal judge ordered it fully restore all previously frozen federal spending. that lawsuit was brought by 22 democratic state attorneys general and the district of columbia. look, congressman, we could go on for a while about the back and forth. i want to get your immediate thoughts. >> first of all the president has the responsibility and frankly the ability to be able to freeze spending and review it for the betterment of the american tax pair. the first issue about the buy-out programs the judge is saying you can't do that as the president. congress hasn't authorized that or said he should do that. hold on. the president as the chief executive is making an offer like any chief executive of a company an saying hey, we might need to cut back here and think there is waste. we'll offer you a buy-out. how is that something that congress would necessarily have to put their fingers in? understand this. i with as told yesterday by some

friends of mine in the executive -- administration that they are finding rats, finding old files, finding phones that still have the pre-programmed numbers from when trump was in there four years ago. nobody has been in there. you have all these people working at home not doing a job and this president is coming in and saying no more. the american people are with the president. the judges are acting like it is 1990 or 1970 and they can decide things on high. they can't. the president is the chief executive and in there to do a job and win this case and regardless he will make sure he continues to do to root out all this corruption and remove the bureaucrats from interfering with the american people. >> nobody has been there. they wanted to hire 87,000 more i.r.s. agents. and that will play out over years. you can't just do it in one day. we could purpose them to go do that, too. this is embarrassing. >> a friend of mine found the

same pre-programmed phone numbers in the phone from four years ago. it is a true story. >> harris: wow. congressman, great to have you in "focus." good to see you. thank you. >> god bless. >> harris: president trump is bringing the straws that actually work, really? his newest order may be one of the most popular ones yet. plus a whirl wind start to his second term. >> president trump is restoring common sense not just to washington, d.c., not just to the united states of america, but to the entire world. you are already seeing the effects of that. >> harris: so the first few weeks 21 days in office marked by an aggressive agenda. we know that. the president shows no signs of slowing down now. lara trump is in "focus" with me next. who have served your country honorably... ...whether it's two years, four years,

or thirty-two years, like myself. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is your eligibility for a va loan not 80 percent but 100 percent the value of your home and that's what you can get at newdayusa. call 1-844-900-3696. life, diabetes, there's no slowing down. each day is a unique blend of people to see and things to do. that's why you choose glucerna to help manage blood sugar response. uniquely designed with carbsteady. glucerna. bring on the day. oh... stuffed up again? so congested! you need sinex saline from vicks. just sinex, breathe, ahhhh! what is — wow! sinex. breathe. ahhhhhh!

>> harris: 62 the number of executive orders president trump has signed so far. he is signaling more are to come as soon as today. his first few weeks of pushing through his aggressive agenda have democrats on their heels. legal challenges are flying from

them. an aggressive flexing of power and more. >> part of the what looks like a more buttoned down administration they aren't fighting to stop him from doing the things he wants to do. they believe in them or come to realize he will do them anyway and no point in getting in front of the train. trump 2.01 trump 1.0 on steroids. everything he wanted to do but couldn't do because he was surrounded by more establishment republicans. military officers and people who said it is not a good idea. he doesn't care about that anymore. >> harris: fox news contributor liz peek sees it this way. trump's vibe shift is rolling across america. lara trump will host my view debaying on fox news very soon. great. first of all the vibe shift is real and showing up in polling now that people are behind him keeping his promises to make

change. >> that's exact will i right, harris, 70% of americans believe that donald trump is keeping his promises. you can see it every single step of the way. you can feel it around this country. and it is something i can tell you as a member of the family, i'm so happy to see this. what you heard there from that "new york times" reporter is true to an extent. donald trump is doing it his way this time around. but it is very different. he has had eight years to study, to really figure out how to attack things and how to make change and not have to deal with all the incoming. you remember his first term in office he had so much wind in his face the entire time. democrats, mainstream mead. people in his own administration fighting against him. it is a different time. the mandate delivered by the american people he took seriously and hit the ground running. 62 executive orders.

every day something new happening. positive change for this country is palpable across america. people are feeling hopeful, optimistic and truly is a golden age of america upon us. >> harris: a series of deliverables. one thing to say i will keep the promise and then put things in motion and people can physically see change. that is what they are reacting to it would seem. i want to get to this. you mentioned the first four years in office. it was from inside washington working against trump so much of the time with the impeachment so on and so forth. hakeem jeffries response on what the left is doing to trump 2.0. >> there has been hannon going effort to push back against far right extremism and not a single thing they've done is a matter of law right now. not a single thing. that doesn't suggest to me there is a scramble, it suggests they are in disarray and they haven't been effective in accomplishing

the things that they are purportedly trying to jam down the throats of the american people. >> harris: liberal outlets don't agree on that. one report says democrats are struggling to keep up with trump's pace. abc news political director is here. >> i am baffled and somewhat speechless. the democrats are nowhere on the field. they've never seen anything like the activity but the inability of his opponents to forget stopping him. they are barely with a few exceptions even slowing him down. >> harris: that was from mark halperin. let's roll the tape back in our memory banks. did you hear hakeem jeffries say not one thing trump has done is not legal. >> the democratic party has completely fallen apart and embarrassed themselves in the

2024 election and their approval rating is 31%. that's pretty bad. contrast how with donald trump who a majority of americans think is doing a great job right now. he is. and he of course is doing everything legally. he understands exactly how to operate and deliver for the american people and i think what you will continue to hear from the left is fear mongering. same old tactics. those haven't worked for the american people. they will have to get some new material if they want anybody to buy anything that they are saying. they are going back to the same playbook, they will lose in the mid-terms and continue losing until they figure out you have to implement change and be transparent. that's what is happening now with donald trump in the white house. with elon musk, doge. you will see more of this continue to happen. i think donald trump's approval rating will continue to go up. i'm sad to tell the democrats if they continue in this fashion their approval rating will

continue to go down. >> harris: it has happened today. people can now slow down when they are sipping the drink as paper straws turn to mush, plastic ones don't. he signed and order ending the procurement and forced use of paper straws directing the federal government to stop buying them and insures they are no longer provided in federal buildings. here is the president. >> president trump: these things don't work. on occasion they break. they explode. if something is hot they don't last very long like a matter of minutes. sometimes a matter of seconds. it is a ridiculous situation. we are going back to plastic straws. i don't think that plastic will affect a shark very much as they are munching their way through the ocean. >> harris: this is really sort of a microcosm of what people have faced. just the mandates on their lives they just don't want that.

your thoughts on it. >> people don't want to be controlled. they want to make their own choices and want common sense. any parent out there knows i am so grateful for this. you give one of my kids a paper straw it will last 20 seconds and i have to figure out how to get the drink delivered to these kids. paper straws suck, nobody likes them. we want to go back to plastic straws. the fact that you had to have the president of the united states come out and say this probably shows you in the grand scheme of things how far we've strayed as a country and how ridiculous things have become. thank you, president trump. we're happy to have plastic straws back. >> harris: i want to brag on you. you have a new show that airs saturday's at 9:00 p.m. eastern. premieres on february 22nd. congratulations. thanks for joining me.
