from massillon, ohio. did i just butcher that? looks like we found next year's halftime show. mary from pennsylvania. keeping paperwork in a mineshaft is better than an open garage. good point. mary. eric from spirit lake, idaho. easy on the hard working underground miners. we helped trump get elected. but you don't store paperwork in the mine. you're actually getting coal out of there. dan from seneca, pennsylvania. hey, i used to work in that mine. it's not a bad place. we have your texts. we want you on the show tomorrow. matt from west virginia. while you're down there, see if that's where hillary's 33,000

for president trump won the house. we won the senate. the people voted for major government reform. there should be no doubt about that. that was on the campaign. the president spoke about that at every rally. the people voted for major government reform, and that's what the people are going to get. they're going to get what they voted for. and a lot of times, you know, people that don't get what they voted for. but in this presidency, they are going to get what they voted for. and that's what democracy is all about. >> why do people hate elon musk? he's about to he's about to save two astronauts that joe

biden and kamala abandoned for nearly 300 days in space. he offered the people of north carolina and tennessee. you know, starlink for free because they needed an ability to communicate with others. he did the same thing for people in california after the wildfires. doge has now uncovered tens of billions of dollars worth of improper payments. this includes over 100 million for dei training grants at the department of education, 9 million for central american, quote, gender assignment services in latin america from the department of agriculture. figure that one out. another 145 million in dea contracts with the department of labor. transportation, other institutions. and get this among all the other crazy far left expenditures uncovered at usaid. a few years ago, this organization also reportedly paid for notorious al qaeda terrorists. remember anwar al-awlaki? remember that guy?

apparently, they paid for him to go to school at colorado state university. full ride. compliments of you, the american taxpayer. and that's not all. just take a look at your screen. today, doge discovered that the paperwork for federal employees. look at this. who retire is processed by hand. 230ft underground in an old limestone mine in pennsylvania. now, this, you know, cumbersome operation requires more than 200 employees. by the way, there are something called computers. they may want to use them. then. we now have something called artificial intelligence, and they're obviously working at a snail's pace. the paperwork operation operates on a backlog, can take multiple months to process. and meanwhile, for fema employees, they were just fired for continuing in spite of the president's order to send taxpayer dollars to hotels in new york city for illegal immigrants. remember, fema was putting illegal immigrants in

four star hotels in new york city. that is literally hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a night. people in north carolina forced to sleep in tents in the middle of winter months after hurricane helene. and as you can see, this is all about accountability, efficiency. but according to the democrats, the sky is falling. one notorious radical left wing pastor literally calling for violence. i hope the secret service is paying attention against elon musk, telling his congregation we are on the verge of bloodshed, and sometimes violence is necessary. we'll run that for you later in the show. other democrats lashed out at president trump. for example. maxine dexter is now famous for wanting to quote bleep donald trump. we'll let you figure out the bleep. >> i just i've been told i have 30s. so i am going to tell you that we do have to i don't swear in public very well. but

we have to trump. please don't tell my children that i just did that okay. >> apparently this is the latest talking point to from the democratic party. take note. they all sound the same. take a look at. >> i'll tell you, i'm from jersey, so i look a little differently. i say trump. >> we are going to beat. i was going to say but no we're not. no, i'm not going to say that. >> donald trump and elon musk. >> they're going to bleep donald trump. oh that's so uplifting, so inspiring, so full of vision for the country. that's really going to help make your life better. and wait it gets more dumb for some reason. democratic congresswoman pressley also announcing her support for censorship. take a look. >> look, let me tell you something. i'll take a bit of umbrage here. i'll speak on behalf of my colleagues. i think i can say we are all

willing to work with anyone who's serious about doing the work of censoring the american people and advancing progress, but they are not serious. >> and, of course, what kind of left wing resistance movement would be complete without a little cringeworthy, predictable singing? join in, shall you? at home. >> which side are you on? we'll fight against josh. we're fighting en masse. no, we landscape within our walls. we'll fight from dawn to dusk. trump's coming for our unions. he wants us all to fail. he wants us to bow to him. but we want him in jail. >> and last but certainly not least, here is idiotic. senator from connecticut, chris murphy whining to fake news, cnn about

the death of democracy. all because donald trump, elon musk and doge are criticizing, you know, waste, fraud, abuse, corruption and criticizing judicial overreach. because what they can't do at the ballot box electorally, what they can't do legislatively. well, what do democrats always do? they run to far left activist judges. take a look. >> senator murphy, as we look at the developments that have happened in the last 48 hours, what are your concerns about this moment that we're at with the courts, with the president, and with the suggestion from two of his top advisers that that maybe they defy the court's rulings? >> yeah. listen, i mean, this isn't hyperbole to say that we are staring the death of democracy in the eyes right now, the centerpiece of our democracy is that we observe court rulings. >> you know, it's the death of misappropriating the money of the people that work hard in this country that, on average,

make only $66,000 a year. it is using their money to advance your radical green new deal, your wokism, your transgenderism, your dei ism worldwide, and not taking care of the american people first. when this is all said and done, i want to extrapolate out how much money every american could have gotten off their taxes if they didn't give this money and spend this money on this radical agenda. that's not the death of democracy. that is the return to constitutional order. that is a return to the vision of our framers and founders, limited government, greater freedom, that is that is what america needs now more than anything. finally, they've talked for decades about ending waste, fraud and abuse. now we're going to do it now, this perpetual state of rage, while at times entertaining, it's getting a little hard to watch. the sky has been falling for ten years since donald trump and melania came down that escalator at trump tower. and yet trump has his highest approval numbers ever. look at

this, a joint poll. trafalgar. that's robert cahaly, insider advantage matt towery, trump up nine points. again, the american people voted for government and reform and for good reason. it's been a train wreck in the washington swamp for decades. americans also wanting strong new leadership overseas. once again, promises made, promises kept. and just listen to jordan's king abdullah earlier today at the white house. he seems very open to what the president is proposing for the middle east. >> mr. president, i truly believe that with all the challenges that we have in the middle east, that i finally see somebody that can take us across the finish line to bring stability, peace and prosperity to all of us in the region. and it is, i think, our collective responsibility in the middle east to continue to work with you, to support you, to achieve those lofty goals. >> the president's proposal will go in. we'll clean out the rubble. we'll rebuild gaza, and

we'll create tons of jobs and wealth for the people in the area so they can have better lives and will demilitarize the place. oh, what a radical idea. we'll have peace in the middle east. the king appeared open to the president's plan. american exceptionalism is making a comeback. as a result, the entire world. it will be a better place. and by the way, make sure to check out the gulf of america. if you look on google maps, there it is, the gulf of america. they're getting it here. now with more fox news contributor, former house speaker newt gingrich is with us. mr. speaker, great to great to see you. i've never seen anything like this in my life. you're the great historian. first, can you explain why would the democrats double down on hundreds, tens and tens of billions? it'll be hundreds of billions by the time it's over of reckless spending on the green new deal. woke policies, dei practices, transgenderism internationally,

taking that money from the american people doubled down on men playing women's sports and doubled down on protecting people in this country illegally, many of them hardened criminals. why is that their strategy? >> well, i mean, first of all, when i watched the video you showed, i concluded that it was a real commentary on the decay of american education, that you had all these so-called leaders who are utterly, totally incapable of speaking in an understandable way. i mean, going around yelling curse words if you're an elected member of congress is just stupid. and it tells you how much our education system has decayed, that this is the best the democrats can produce. second, there are two different things going on here with the democrats. the first is they are watching with terror as all the different sources of government money that has

propped them up for the last 60 or 70 years. all of it is now being challenged by president trump and by elon musk. i mean, this cuts at the very base of their coalition. and if they can't bribe people, if they can't act corruptly, if they can't take care of their friends, their entire coalition is going to collapse. second, you have a very large part of the democratic party for whom the beliefs you were describing transgenderism, for example, our religious beliefs, this is a secular religion they can't unlock because they believe these things. they believe in an open border. they believe that there really is no such thing as america. they believe that it's really good to have millions of people flood into this country. it's really good to have people who don't have to work that work requirements are inherently bad. all of these things are a semi-religious or religious belief system, and that's why they can't unlock. they can't. it's not rational. they can't

sit down and do a common sense analysis. they're instead trapped into being for things that are profoundly unpopular with most americans. >> there's an untold story behind this money, too, because congress has a duty called oversight. and there were senators and congresspeople that were asking usaid, for example, and other departments for an accounting of their money. they would get back nebulous, obscure, obtuse answers, which tells me that the democrats knew what they were doing. they knew the american people would not want their money spent this way, but they did it anyway. and then they basically lied to the american people and would not disclose the true nature of the spending that was actually going on. >> look, i mean, you have to accept that there was a lobbyist bureaucratic empire, that that empire took your

money, gave it to its friends, even if they were totally incompetent. and you'll find case after case where your money went out to systems that just don't work. that's crazy. and at that time, they were taking care of themselves. what makes president trump potentially the most consequential president since abraham lincoln is the fact that he's taking a sledgehammer and he is pounding the establishment in a way that no one has since franklin roosevelt created it in the 1930s. he's the first person, and i'm a great fan of ronald reagan. reagan defeated the soviet empire, but he didn't try to take on the american establishment. trump has had the guts to go straight at it, and i think the american people are going to be with him, even even more so when they learn how really sickeningly bad it is. >> what do you make? we are expecting sometime very soon, within the next hour, that american, mark fogel, who was

taken american teacher detained by russia under the biden years, will be in the trump white house. we expect he's back. and his special mideast envoy, steve witkoff, went to russia and is bringing him home. and the president will see him tonight. and there are a lot of people that will greet him tonight. how do you interpret what vladimir putin is doing here? and the president also drew a line in the sand, and he said that all the hostages have until noon saturday to be released by hamas, or all hell will break loose. i believe if i was hamas and iran, i'd believe trump. your thoughts? >> well, first of all, the people who should most be in the target zone are guitar. guitar has the money. guitar is hosting all the leaders of hamas in very nice condominiums. guitar is the place to really put the pressure to break hamas permanently. second, i think

what you see happening and i give steve witkoff a lot of credit, both in the middle east and now with russia. he's a very good negotiator. and what you're seeing is putin is trying to say, you know, i don't want to give up everything. i don't want to surrender. but can't we be friends? how many little things can i do to show you that i'm not automatically your enemy? and i think with keith kellogg as the special envoy there, very methodically trying to work out what is it that allows ukraine to survive, what is it that gets russia to stop and do so without a risk of a nuclear war? and i think trump has a very clear sense of what he wants to get done. and inch by inch, you're going to see them move towards some kind of very serious truce. >> all right, mr. speaker, always good to have you. thank you for your time. here with more fox news contributor jason chaffetz and the big money show co-host on fox business, brian brenberg. congressman, good to have you. this is now the

seventh u.s. hostage that will be released. we expect them showing up at any moment at the white house. hopefully, we'll be able to show the american people that. and then the deadline, the line in the sand that president trump drew for hamas noon on saturday. your thoughts on both? >> glad they're coming home. look, this is the focus of president president trump. he this is important to him. and consequently it gets done. in his first term, he bought 55 hostages home. and now we're barely three weeks into his presidency. he's bringing home number six or number seven. and to have his family home. i read an article seventh. i read on foxnews.com where president trump met with his family and said, if i get back in there, if i get elected again, i'm going to bring them home. and he did it. and donald trump is amazing that way. he's committed to it. he makes it happen. and consequently, this american is coming home to american soil. i love it.

>> you know, i will tell you, if you read the tea leaves, brian, the seven hostages that trump got released, americans back home. that does not include when he was transitioning. and he said they better be released the hostages before i become president or all hell will break loose. now he's given them until noon saturday. right now, if i'm iran and i'm hamas, if they don't take that threat seriously, you know what? god help them. and god won't be able to help them. because look at if you read the tea leaves he just gave prime minister netanyahu bunker buster bombs. there might be a message there. >> that's right. and you know why he gave those bombs to benjamin netanyahu? because he said they paid for them, right? that's how we do business. israel is our friend. they bought those bombs. they'll use them if they have to, to keep their people safe and fight terrorism. president trump is as serious as a person can be.

and guess what? every leader around the globe knows that leaders in colombia knew that. venezuela knew that. panama knows that people in denmark know that, and the european union they know that. and chin, they know that. the folks in iran, the folks running hamas, everyone in the middle east is on notice. president trump is not kidding around. and the reason is he's got right and justice on his side. he is communicating to terrorists who took innocent lives and everyone with a moral sense knows that. and in america, they are backing this president. and that gives him the strongest hand any president has had in the middle east. >> it looks like between the comments, zelensky is open to a deal. i would say this gesture by putin shows that, jason, that he would be open to a deal there. and i think it's very obvious that the president is prepared to do whatever is necessary to allow israel the

freedom to win their war against radical islamic terrorists that attacked them on october 7th. and they will have our full support. your take? >> yeah. in ukraine, look, joe biden, and to a large extent barack obama has put us in a perilous position. i think history will show that they helped create the atmosphere that led to russian making that incursion. and certainly when they recognized that barack obama wasn't going to hold the red line in syria, when he wasn't going to push back on other times when there are incursions. but when donald trump showed up, they realized that donald trump was going to tell the truth, that he would telegraph in advance exactly what he was going to do. and there was no doubt that donald trump would do it. and i think on a world level, vladimir putin has that sort of respect for donald trump and vice versa. that's good for the world. that's why i think he could actually bring peace, because they can come to a tenable conclusion here and

stop the killing and get back to life and order, where people don't have to live in so much fear and it won't cost so much money. so i have no doubt that donald trump will get it done. and by the way, israel, their best ally in the middle east, everybody knows that we're hand in glove with them. it wasn't just lip service from joe biden. donald trump really does mean it. >> consequential work in terms of securing our border and deporting illegals, consequential work as it as it comes to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse and corruption. consequential, you know, advancement to bring peace in europe and in the middle east. and it's getting interesting. thank you both. brian. good to see you. jason, good to see you when we come back, joe rogan slamming democrats and the media for doubling down on their insane, radical far left agenda. we've got that tape and more. and president trump and freed american hostage marc fogel. well, live from the white house just hours after fogel's release from a russian

prison, something that harris and biden could not get de. when that happens, we'll bring it to you live. >> i have sworn to put. >> this man away. >> somebody messes with me. i'm going to mess with him. >> i believe in the. small of a. >> woman's back. >> the hanging curve ball. >> you haven't. >> told me everything. >> do you realize. >> the magnitude of this scandal? >> i've always wanted to see the frontier before it's gone. who are you? i'm the player to be named later. >> get the lights back. okay. >> go again. >> he's breathing. >> okay. >> when i saw that ethan was not breathing, i determined that i needed to use something to remove the obstruction from his airway. it's very important for every household to have a life vest. everyone should have one in their home. anything can happen at any moment. i want my friends and family and people that i serve to know that we

(♪♪)

fox news alert now. donald trump's special envoy for hostage affairs just announced yet another hostage will be coming home tomorrow. we don't know yet who it is, but we will keep you posted. but now, all eyes right this hour on the white house as we await the return of marc fogel, the american teacher held hostage in russia for years. in the biden years on false drug trafficking charges, thanks to president trump and his special mideast envoy, steve witkoff. fogel was released today, and we expect him any moment to show up at the white house. that's only a matter of minutes

away, we are told. fogel's return, by the way, is just the latest example of donald trump's historic first month and the left, the state run media mob. frankly, they're not handling too well. after almost a decade with trump and the national political spotlight, it is pretty spectacularly stunning at the legacy. media is still struggling to cope, even though their ratings continue to decline. more and more and more people don't trust them. americans are seeking open and honest discussions away from the word police, the smear merchants, the woke mob in the media. and no one knows that, by the way, than the current podcast king himself, joe rogan. take a look. >> they're not course correcting at all, you know, they're saying stupid. it's all nonsense. their understanding of social media and the dynamics that you set up by having completely state controlled mainstream media, where they only said the narratives that you guys wanted, they all said it in step so you could watch

different programs repeat the exact same words, the exact same phrases. we don't trust the new york times. we don't trust the washington post, we don't trust cnn or any of the msnbc where they're all full with propaganda. yeah. and so that's why the internet rose. it's not because there was some sort of a right wing conspiracy and heavily funded. no, you guys suck. you guys suck. and you're not real people, and you're not like, nobody wants to hang out with brian stelter. you know what i'm saying? there's none of these people are people that people can actually relate to. and like. >> i don't think people know who humpty dumpty is. and by the way, how's it working out for norah o'donnell and, jim, fake news acosta and andrea mitchell and chuck todd. not that well. anyway, here with reaction, fox news contributor miranda devine and joe concha. you know, in many ways i feel really blessed, miranda, because new media began with the talk radio revolution. and then fox took that on on hgh

and steroids to the next level. and still both remain extraordinarily powerful and relevant today. and then you've got the rogans and the podcasters and the social media and x et cetera. and it's people have too many options. and if you if you're not a truth teller, you're not going to survive, in my view. am i wrong on that? in that analysis? >> i know you're absolutely right. and i think, you know, people who are trustworthy in the media. that part of the media universe is thriving. it's the propaganda merchants that are shriveling on the vine. and, you know, joe rogan is absolutely right. no one trusts them anymore. their latest sort of unison talking point is constitutional crisis that donald trump's causing a constitutional. that's the old story. they did it in his first term. they're doing it again.

it doesn't work. and they're going nuts because no one is listening to them. they've lost their influence. they've lost the trust of the people. they've lost the room and they can't handle it. >> you know, joe, all these years i've been doing this, there have been elections that the candidate of my choice didn't win. and you know what? i didn't go out there and start singing. i didn't start saying, f them, f them. i didn't go out there and say, we're the resistance, a constitutional crisis. no, you know what? i pointed out their flaws and fought for better ideas. and in the end, the american people always come back to where the right place is. and i believe that happened here. but in the process, during this election cycle, i have declared legacy media is done. am i wrong? >> it is done, sean, because the numbers back that up and

look, the place that everybody came back to during this election wasn't conservatism necessarily. it wasn't anything in terms of republicanism. it was common sense. common sense is what guides so many people in this word and logic, and that's what they want from their media, and that's what they want from their leaders. it's quite simple. and right now there is literally zero distance between the insanity heard on msnbc, cnn shows like colbert, or the editorial pages of the new york times and the washington post and the democratic party. they seem to be taking their cues from those places, and it seems that most of the party has decided that moving harder to the left after the election is the way to win voters back. i mean, this week alone, the democratic party has shown its currently three things and none of them ain't good. patently unhinged, hopelessly disorganized, utterly tone deaf when it comes to what people are demanding from their elected leaders. fox news voter analysis listen to this. this was after the 2024 election shows that 83% of americans are demanding wholesale changes to the way

government operates. and yet, what do we see from democrats on a daily basis during these rallies, when the theme is what to protect the status quo in washington? they don't realize it, sean, but they're coming down on the ten side of almost every 9010 issue. i mean, go ask a hundred people on the street right now. do you support a full audit of government agencies in an effort to slash wasteful, stupid, and even corrupt spending? 90% will say yes, while the other 10% is drunk singing, screaming and yelling. that's what democrats are doing at these rallies. volume is not a strategy. emotion is not a policy. these aren't protests. it's a public therapy session. and if you're in the trump administration right now, you want to see these rallies every day. you want more maxine waters, more elizabeth warren, more chuck schumer, and more members of the squad, many more. because if they just keep doing this, they will drive away every possible last independent swing state voter and will never win a national election again unless they pivot back to the center, much like bill clinton did before the 1996 election. in working

with your guest before newt gingrich and actually doing common sense things. >> you know, we pride ourselves on this show of getting everything right. everything from russia, russia and fisa abuse and the double standard in our justice system with top secret classified information or the weaponization. but we also got other cases right, starting with richard jewell and uva and duke lacrosse and ferguson, missouri, and freddie gray in baltimore and so many other instances, miranda and all their attacks against donald trump. you just spent a full day with donald trump. you were on air force one, you went to the white house. what was that like? >> it was fantastic. and look, just such a whirlwind. i joked to someone, he never invited. >> me on air force one. joe, did he ever invite you? they don't invite me. >> i got the trump plane when i was covering the campaign where they serve wendy's, which was

nice, but no, i never got air force one. no. >> it's trump force one. yes. which is very luxurious as well. both fantastic planes. and look, he is so energetic and there's just so much going on with him. it's hard for everyone to keep up and he has got such a young staff around him. people like caroline leavitt, 27, the youngest press secretary in history. you just look at pete hegseth and jd vance. i mean, this is a very a new generation is in power in washington. elon musk, with all his 18 to 25 year old high iq whiz kids. and there's donald trump with more energy than all of them put together. he's just incredible. he goes from six in the morning until midnight. he has five hours sleep and he wakes up. he told me every morning thinking just of business, political business. >> well, we appreciate both of you and keep up the good work. by the way, joe has a book coming out pretty soon. we'll tell you about that in an

upcoming appearance. all right. when we come back, donald trump is keeping his campaign promise to obliterate woke policies without the latest. we'll get reaction from the one and only sage steele. and we are monitoring the white house at this hour, where freed american hostage marc fogel is expected to meet with president trump. we'll take you there live as it happens. and we also have just learned of fox news. another american hostage is set to be released tomorrow. they've not given us details, but as that develops, we'll brips, we'll by anything new straight ahead. >> after careful review of medical guidance and research on pain relief, my recommendation is simple every home should have salonpas powerful yet non-addictive targeted and long lasting. i recommend salonpas it's good medicine.

administration and his special envoy, steve witkoff. and this hostage will be meeting with the president, celebrating his return home. also breaking tonight, we have learned that another hostage will be released tomorrow. we don't have any details on who or from where. as the first few weeks of donald trump's presidency have been a resounding victory for the return of common sense and american strength abroad, in accordance with donald trump's executive orders, pbs has announced that it is closing down its dni office and at the state department, secretary of state marco rubio has ordered his staff to issue only male and female passports. no more gender checks. meanwhile, after trump signed his executive order banning biological men from women's sports, the department of education launched title nine investigations into schools that allowed men to compete in women's sports. and now the daily caller is reporting that the administration is asking the ncaa to vacate all titles

and records won by biological men and women's competitions. and trump has also made clear his executive order applies to the upcoming olympic games that will be held in los angeles. real leadership is back. common sense is back. the trump administration is working hard to deliver for the american people without distractions at the speed of light. here with more, the host of the sage steele show, sage steele. sage, how are you? good to have you back. >> great to see you again, sean. thank you. >> it reminds me of, you know, the first time i watched you interview jillian michaels and her telling you why she left california. i mean, and now donald trump is reversing all of it. the left is going crazy. but to me, the american people, do they really want all this money spent abroad? tens of tens of billions of dollars? do they really want woke policies

in every aspect of their lives, or do they want limited government, greater freedom and leave people alone and let them make their own decisions? but they don't need a seal of government approval for what they do. >> yeah, honestly, i think it's the latter. and i'm down here in south florida. i was in new orleans for the super bowl all last week. and all people are talking about sean. i know that you know this as well is oh my gosh, the reporters up there in washington are busier than they've ever been. because every single day there's breaking news of things donald trump is doing. i was there at the white house last week when he signed the executive order to keep men out of women's sports. that was incredible, to be there with riley gaines and mothers and daughters who have been fighting this. i will say this. we've got to get congress to push this through permanently, because we all know that executive orders can be overturned. and right now, the ncaa did do some good. here's the problem. they haven't fully gone to the level that we need them to go, because as much as women and women are now, men are now not allowed to play in women's sports. the issue, sean, is

that they are still able to earn scholarships and are still allowed in women's spaces. that means locker rooms. so the ncaa has kind of half it, if you know what i mean, to get there. but they've got a lot more work to do. and the way to make that permanent is to push through the protection of women and girls in sports act. congress needs to get that done. 79% of americans agree that boys should not be in girls sports. let's put an end to this permanently. i think that is one huge reason why so many people are happy. one of many reasons, happy that donald trump is just putting pen to paper every single day they're in the oval office. >> did you even know you can get a passport and check another box besides male and female? i guess i should have known that, but i didn't. >> call me ignorant. i did not know that. i mean, again, i should not be surprised. there's a lot of things i didn't know. i didn't know, sean, that the military was allowing and paying for however many millions of dollars for transgender operations, transitions, surgeries. so, so

many of these things are being put to bed. by the way, you know me. i'm an army brat, a daughter of a west point graduate, the granddaughter of a buffalo soldier. you know, all the stuff in the military as well, all the money going there. this isn't about feelings. this is about putting money towards the right things, protecting americans, defending our country. that's what the money and the focus should be. can i end on this, sean? because i'm so grateful for this breaking news that you've been reporting on tonight with marc fogel, the teacher coming back after three plus years in russia. i'm so grateful for that and hopefully more to come. listen, it was awesome to see brittney griner come back out of that russian prison. the wnba star, a couple of years ago. fogel has been there for almost four years and many others. so thank you, donald trump, for bringing everyone home, trying to not just a couple of people that fit the agenda. so awesome news tonight here and i hope that it continues. >> and we're expecting more news tomorrow. i feel the same way you do. when i heard that this hostage was being released and steve witkoff was flying him home, i just couldn't be happier. i mean, i hate the

thought of any american being held captive anywhere around the world. and what do you make of the reaction to elon musk? just exposing, you know, billions and billions in waste, fraud, abuse and corruption. and the left is going insane because it's money not even spent on anything that i would define as worthwhile, but spent on their radical agenda. why? what do you make of the hatred of elon musk? i think we all owe a debt of gratitude. >> i do too, i absolutely love it. at the end of the day, i don't care that he's not elected. he's getting it done. he's fixing it. he's cleaning house. and by the way, how about the person we had elected as the last president who was there and did nothing but made it worse? so i'll take elon over the last guy who didn't even do his job? >> well, not one of his cabinet officials was elected either. so let's be real here. he was elected president. it's his agenda that he is enacting. and elon musk is helping him. and

he's given up a lot to do it. and he's doing it for free. and he's going to rescue astronauts in space and help the people in north carolina, tennessee and california. and, you know, the left hating on him the way they are is insane to me. anyway. sage, great to see you. >> it's a good thing it's a compliment. >> yeah, that's true. and i've spent a lot of my career being hated, so i guess that's a compliment. all right, coming up, brand new task force set to focus on the declassification of federal secrets. that means the assassination of rfk, jfk, mlk oversight committee chairman james comer, congresswoman anna paulina luna are here with the details. and we are awaiting. we expect moments from now we will take you live to the white house, where president trump will be greeting the freed american hostage, mark foley, released from russia. we also have the expectation that another hostage, we don't know the reld tomorrow as well. stay with us.

>> we finally beat medicare. >> he's right. he did beat medicare. he beat it to death. >> joe biden's legacy for seniors. he raided medicare, made premiums skyrocket, and drove up drug costs. worse, the biden pill penalty is already slashing the development of affordable drugs, forcing seniors to pay the price of biden's failed policy. biden broke medicare, but president trump can fix it. call congress and urge them to end the biden pill penalty. >> are you looking for a walk in tub for you or someone you love? well, look no further. a safe step walk in tub is the best in its class. the ultra low, easy step helps keep you safe from having to climb over those high walled tubs, allowing you to age gracefully in the home you love. now, for a limited time, when you purchase your brand new safe step walk in tub, you'll receive a free safety package. and if you call today, you'll

use,se, call (800) 535-7497 today. >> all right. this is a fox news alert. we have just learned that marc fogel has, in fact landed back on american soil. he is right now on his way to the white house to meet with president trump. we will take you there. live as it happens. and by the way, we will be doing an extra hour of hannity tonight. so we'll get it in even if it goes past the 9:00 hour. also tomorrow, somewhere around the world, we don't know the details as of now, another american hostage is expected to be released. meanwhile, back here at home, president trump's executive order to declassify jfk, rfk, mlk, jr. s assassination files is making waves. house oversight committee chairman james comer has appointed congresswoman anna paulina luna to lead a new task force

focused on the declassification of these files, along with jeffrey epstein's client. list files related to nine over 11 the origins of covid 19, unidentified foreign objects, and federal secrets. maybe they can also release the name of the names of congressmen who have nondisclosure agreements that use taxpayer dollars because of relationships they were involved in here with. the latest house oversight committee chair james comer, along with congresswoman anna paulina luna. anna, start with you. it sounds like you want everything. i hope you'll also consider what i want to. >> look. we do. i think that we're in the business of providing transparency to the american people. and, sean, for too long, the american people have doubted government. rightfully so. they held back lots of information that the american people were entitled to. and i'm just thankful for president trump being in office. now. i just want to put this out there. if we find that the president president's executive order is stonewalled,

i do not put it past chairman comer or speaker johnson to hold those people in inherent contempt, and so do not push back against what the president wants. declassify this. the american people deserve this, and we will be following through on this. >> yeah, i appreciate congressman comer. why why have they have they hidden this information from the american people? all of it goes back to the 1960s in three cases. >> i think it's. >> a sign of arrogance. >> look, it's a sign of government elite thinking that that the average person doesn't need to know that they can't handle the truth or that they don't need to know the truth. this is their territory. this is the deep state. the deep state's been around a long time. it's just been empowered in the last four years under joe biden. and what donald trump campaigned on was restoring confidence in the government. right now, the average working, taxpaying american doesn't have a lot of confidence in the federal government, and donald trump is trying to change that. he's

trying to eliminate wasteful spending and be transparent with the american people. and that's what our goal is with the task force. and congresswoman luna is the perfect person to lead this task force. she's persistent. she's all about transparency. and i think this is going to be one of the most interesting things congress does, because everyone wants to know these secrets that have been held in our government. yeah. >> congresswoman, how long until this will be released? we have to roll. >> we have a couple of days, but it will be all available to the american people. and our first hearing will be noticed publicly in march. >> all right. we really appreciate both of you. thank you for your transparency. when we come back. stay with us. hannity live for another hour as we prepare mark fogel to meet with president trump at the white house as our coverage continues right here on the fox news channel. >> looking to take your brand national with fox news media? it's easier than you think. >> join thousands of advertisers. >> who have built their businesses.
