>> todd: a fox news alert. an american teacher wrongfully detained in russia since 2021 finally returns home and is

greeted by president trump at the white house. the administration says he may not be the only hostage coming home soon. >> carley: and president trump and elon musk telling how much government waste has been uncovered and where they are focusing on next. >> president trump: it is abuse, most things are made up or money shouldn't be sent to them. it is crazy, you know what i'm talking about. we're talking about tens of billions of dollars that we've found. >> todd: and disney may no longer be happiest place on earth for people that support dei, a major corporate decision just handed down. this is "fox and friends." i'm todd piro. welcome back. >> carley: i jumped the gun there. i'm carley shimkus. what a moment it was. >> brooke: marc fogel, an american teacher, is home after

three years in a russian prison. he was welcomed home draped in an american flag. he was welcomed by president and lawmakers. >> i feel like the luckiest man on earth right now. i want you to know i am not a hero in this at all. and president trump is the her hero. knowing i had the support of my fellow pennsylvanians, my family, my friends, it was so o overwhelming that it brought me to my knees and brought me to tears. >> brooke: marc fogel was wrongfully detained in 2021 for drug possession and sentenced to 14 years in prison. president trump made an exchange

with russia. >> president trump: he's got a great mother. i saw his mother at a rally, she said, will you get my son out. she's 95 years old. i said, we'll get him out and got him out pretty quickly. >> brooke: details are unknown, the president says it was fair and reasonable. he says another hostage will be released today. >> carley: bring in dan hofman, what a joyous moment to see marc fogel standing alongside donald trump draped in an american flag. biden administration tried to get marc fogel out within the prisoner exchange deal that brought evan home and wasn't able to do it, what did you think of his release today?

>> he was bypassed twice, there was a big exchange in 2022 with release of brittney griner in return for giving russians the merchant of death and in 2024, we were able to get e evan out, as well. marc fogel was not named wrongfully detained until august 2024, are national security advisor said he was wrongfully detained. feeling was biden administration was missing an opportunity not including anymore in those deals. he had 0.6 ounce of medical marijuana on him. he was a teacher. no doubt it was so putin could

extort us. good on trump administration for getting him out so quickly, in matter of weeks. it is a cause for celebration. we'll see how this might relate to strategic relationship between united states and russia. >> carley: when asked what president trump gave russia in exchange for marc fogel being returned, he said, not much. does that surprise you? >> we don't know exactly what that was. there is speculation how this might play into the relationship between united states and russia. there are host of issues we need to deal with starting with russia's barr ic war in ukraine. there is arms control, as well, we need to look at and potential for grand bargain. if we secure peace in europe, we would eliminate sanctions that

have hurt russia's economy significantly. it is unbalanced war-time economy. there are questions out there. it is interesting that president trump sent his envoy for middle east, steve witkoff, trusted advisor to negotiate this deal. it is not as if mr. witkoff doesn't have enough to deal with the middle east. good on him. negotiations are painstaking and difficult and he deserves tremendous credit. >> carley: what you just said brings us to this week, it is big week overseas for trump administration with secretary of defense pete hegseth in brussels for the first time and vice president j.d. vance at munich security meeting and he will be meeting with zelenskyy and the message they are going to send, they want europe to step up their security support for ukraine and they want a quick

end to this war. how do you think their message will be received? >> dan: it is important the united states and our partners integrated with strategy, the meeting is how to end the war in ukraine and post-war reconstruction in ukraine, which is going to be important. of course, we need to ensure that russia no longer has the capability to invade ukraine and threaten their integrity. united states and europe, each have spent over 100 billion supporting ukraine over last three years. we have cut the russian army down to size and finland and sweden have made us stronger and we demonstrated might does not make right. russia cannot invade a neighbor and topple their government.

we need to work together on the post-war reconstruction side of it and have to be concerned about russian hybrid operations. the russians were reportedly behind the attempted assassination of a german business ceo, there are concerns about that. we need to be integrated on intelligence side. to your point, key for this administration, we know is to get europe's defense spending up to 5% of gdp. right now 23 of 32 are spending 2% of their gdp. that is a big issue. >> carley: no doubt. yesterday president trump met with king abdullah of jordan and reiterated he wants the united states to take over the gaza strip, which made the king very uncomfortable and he said, king abdullah said that arab nations will counter with a plan for a post-war gaza, which could have

been trump's goal. what do you make of the latest there? >> dan: it could have been. jordan and egypt are concerned about destabilizing results of taking in more refugees. half of jordan 12 million population are from palestinians, jordan has over 700,000 refugees. the other side, we can't allow a terrorist group like hamas to be in charge of gaza. and so this is incredibly difficult challenging knot we have to unravel and nobody has a plan how to solve it. this is a basis for discussion. where it ends up is anyone's guess. we can't continue to do what we're doing there. >> carley: that's right. and prime minister netanyahu posted on x if hamas does not return hostages by saturday at

noon, ceasefire will end and there will be fighting until hamas is defeated. we'll look for next steps there. thank you for joining us, have a good day, we appreciate you. president trump and elon musk took to the oval office to layout absurd thing taxpayer dollars have been spent on. >> todd: taylor riggs will do a deep dive next. ♪

reduce the size of our government. doug luzader has the latest. >> doug: the president's battle rages on. at usaid, he fired the -- aid spending and yesterday executive order tasking federal agency to work with doge to cut back federal workforce. the president wants to limit federal hiring for one person for every four people that leave. >> president trump: we have no idea we were going to find this much and it is open, it is not complicated. it is simple stuff. we can't believe it. i a lot of work and smart people involved, very smart people. >> doug: the president appeared alongside elon musk and musk's

son. they defended that work to save taxpayer money. >> your tax dollars need to be spent wisely on things that matter to the people. just common sense. it is not draconian or radical. >> doug: president says musk will be tasked with looking into department of education and defense department's massive budget. to give you an idea, inspector general report last year showed pentagon shelled out $150,000 for soap dispensers and spent on reheatable coffee cups. the real battle for administration is in the courts. who doesn't like a reheatable coffee cup. should taxpayers pay for them?

>> todd: should be some cup, doug luzader. bring in taylor riggs djus djustmenting in, cuts, pete hegseth welcomes cuts. what say you? >> taylor: i think americans voted for this, they voted for doge and being held accountable for waste, fraud abuse. they do this in the private sector all the time. goldman sachs cut the lowest 10% every year. i don't think it is a bad thing and i applaud republicans for putting everything on the table. >> todd: government is the only entity that doesn't do this or did not, they are starting. go over cuts doge made. over one million saved by slashing federal dei programs.

hhs contracts worth 182 million, including that anthony fauci facility. and central american gender c consultant services, 89 contracts worth a billion dollars, including 1.5 million contract for clerical operations. somebody is watching somebody fill out paperwork and send mail. the question i keep coming back to is this, will anyone miss these federal workers or will the government and our country continue on, carry on as normal with a lot less blow? >> taylor: i love that we're br bringing private sector speed and private sector efficiency to government, which goes slower and has more fat than private

sector. i love that elon musk is saying, think what we could do with ai. think about the way we're productive withiia. if i'm using chatgpt, for an essay, think about a different analysis. if you apply those principles to government, i don't want people to get laid off, or to affect unemempl unememployeement. i think private sector is more efficient. >> todd: public safety is the only job of government. donald trump said these cuts will not apply to safety and security of the american people. these are jobs that i understand what you are saying, we don't want people to lose their jobs, these jobs don't need to be in existence and doge is getting rid of them. the people want this,

republicans want this, only people to don't want this are democrats and they let it be known they don't like this all week. watch. >> i'll tell you, i'm from jersey, i look differently, i say -- trump. >> i don't swear in public very well, but we have to -- trump. please don't tell my children i just did that. >> i want to correct what a couple of my colleagues said, they use that word in front of donald trump's name. what they meant to say -- donald trump and elon musk. >> todd: that is embarrassing. they know they are losing and know delays from democratic judges are just that, delays, supreme court will rule in favor of trump because everything he's doing is legal. they are overreacting because they know gravy train of taxpayer dollars to them, to democratic unions, consultants

and industrial commrek plex will go away. >> taylor: they are angry, do you know how angry and personally foefded you have to be to say those words? correct me if you disagree, i think democrats love the money, it keeps them in power. the poorer i am, more reliant i am on government services and more power they get over me for future generation. i get a good paying job and i'm self-sufficient and raising my family, i don't need them and then they lose power because i'm not depending on them. it comes back to money andure po. this is hill they are willing to die on, desperate to see how the midterm goes. 75 million people said, we donbas want this. the fed chair yesterday said our debt is so unsustainable, people

are waking up to that fact and want this. democrats want to keep on spending, more power to them, i think the country has shifted and narrative has changed. >> todd: they will lose power and will lose that money train in the democratic party. catch taylor riggs on the big money show. >> carley: to dog. take a look at this, giant snouz snauz er named best in show. monty taking home the top prize after coming close to winning last two years. first giant schnauz er to win first place. he and his owner will tell us about the competition. janice will join us with the weather and comment on the winner, as well. >> janice: i'm excited for monty, i was excited to see some

the thing about tulsi, she is smart and experienced and will do a super job. problem you have had, democrats have tried to politicize it because she left them and came to donald trump. this gets back to trump der derangement syndrome. tulsi gabbard will be super and i look forward to her confirmation today. >> carley: you sit on the doge subcommittee in congress and they'll have a first hearing today and yesterday elon musk said he thinks it is possible u.s. deficit could be cut in half if waste, fraud and abuse were weeded out of spending. what are your expectations with the sub-committee hearing today and what would that mean if the deficit was cut in half? >> i expect the sub-committee

with marjorie taylor greene leading it will do a great job assessing waste and fraud in government. the duplication we have is enormous. what it would mean, our structural deficit, when elon musk talks about deficit, he's not talking about national debt. we spend over 2 trillion more than we bring in in tax money every year. if you can cut that by half and take down to 1 trillion dollars, over a 10-year period, you will bend spending down 10 trillion dollars and save money on interest. it means markets will not impose draconian penalty with interest and means economy will get stronger. you'll have greater gdp growth, and if you get that on top of fiscally cutting spending, you have a chance to move yourself

over a period of time to having a balanced budget and that is what elon is talking about, structural deficit and that is what doge subcommittee with marjorie taylor greene will do. i am very hopeful we can get something done in that direction. >> carley: cut taxpayer money spent on reheated coffee cups and other items. congresswoman jasmine krcrocket says i anticipate full-on -- and mel any stansbury, democrat from n new mexico, listen here. >> first hearing of new doge subcommittee, democrats are ready to fight. we are ready to show the

american people what is actually happening and how we're fighting back to defend and serve our people. >> carley: what do you make of this criticism from democrats? is this a smart strategy and what can we expect to take place later today during the hearing? >> ms. crockett seems to have personalan mus against chairman gr green. if democratic strategy is to say, we're not into doge. we're not into making government more efficient and cut spending, it is more of the same and shows how out of touch they are with the american people. that is the mandate given to the president and congress, go in and fix inflation and way you fix it as president trump noted in his inauguration, make

spending cuts, get the deficit under control. that is what has to happen fchl democrats are going to stand up there and argue and fight this and say what they tend to say, we're not cutting anything, i guess you will see them fall further out of reach and context with the american people. they will not understand why they lost. >> carley: congressman andy biggs, thank you, we call on you for your expertise. did you hear about this? of course. major egg crackdown in major grocery stores as high prices leave consumers scrambled. >> todd: you are crushing the puns today. some have resorted to stealing them, people, not chickening. cheryl casone ha me s details ni , i'm all in. thanks to skyrizi, i saw dramatically clearer skin.

wholesale prices are blowing past records for eggs. average cost of dozen eggs is $8 compared to $4.15 last september. usda predicting egg prices will increase by $2.25. they are limiting to three cartons, costco and kroger are l limiting, as well, saying you can buy one carton before you walk out the door, if you can get it. a video on tiktok shows a store shelf cleaned out in 10 minutes. people are rushing to buy eggs. this is a staple in what we do, everything revolves around eggs and people are getting upset and

panicked about it. 136 million birds have been destroyed since 2022 because of bird flu, this is not a political story. >> carley: this is a medical story. >> cheryl: farmers are having a difficult time. this farmer in upstate new york lost like 10 million ducks or 100 million, i forget. 1 know -- 1.5 million worth of ducks. he said we had a bio-safe farm and couldn't contain it, it came in. it hits one bird in blocks, it tears through the flock. it is frightening. >> carley: i tried to order eggs on the whole foods app and couldn't do it. and i went to a small grocery store and they didn't have them.

>> cheryl: people are starting to be willing to pay more. they are hoping this is temporary. the problem is, i'm not sure it will be in short term because of predictions we are getting from usda. consumer prices did jump back in december. we'll get cpi, and egg prices are in there. >> carley: -- >> todd: you use eggs in everything, not just scrambled and sunny side up. when jerome powell speaks, we listen, what did he say? >> cheryl: he said a lot. he pushed back against interest rate hikes. he was asked a lot about tariffs and china. he says u.s. economy is on solid footing, did take a hit at china. he is careful with his words.

language to him yesterday. >> we've continued to reduce security holdings. with our policy stance significantly les restrictive than it had been and economy remaining strong, we do not need to be in a hurry to adjust our policy stance. reducing too fast or too much could hinder progress on inflation. >> cheryl: other thing yesterday, discussion about the cfpb because russ voighthas been confirmed. this is elizabeth warren consumer protection and trump administration is saying, doge is going after cfpb. >> carley: bingo. >> cheryl: and voight is ready to slash and dash on that one.

jerome powell does not get heated. little, motion. there was talk about that yesterday and pushback. >> carley: thank you, don't miss cheryl on mornings with maria on fox business. have a great day. >> todd: four fema employees canned over egregious payments to new york city to pay for illegal migrants. a spokesperson person saying under trump and kristi noem, dhs will not sit and allow deep state activists to undermine safety of american people. andrew arthur, center of immigration studies, joins me now. these four fired fema employees, how did we go from reagan program literally designed to feed american citizens during

recession to what it has become, paying for luxury hotels for illegal migrants? >> yeah, in 1987, president reagan signed bill that created emergency food and shelter program in fema that provided for homeless vets, elderly, indian americans and american children. in 2019, when president trump faced a border crisis and women and children showed up at the south west border, a ryder was added to the program that provided 30 million for housing for those individuals. d.c. being d.c., by 2023 that increased to 780 million plus. in 2024, it was $640.9 million. it has blown up driven by the

biden border crisis. so many more people coming into the united states. cities like new york and philadelphia were straining to provide for them and congress just kept shoveling in the money without accountability into the system. went from vets to migrants who showed up putting them in hotels. >> todd: 130 million in 2021 is more than 2019 and two years later 640 million. this is during biden administration. to follow-up, did most of that go to illegal migrants while american citizens that fema are supposed to help, east palestine, mou and north carolina, while americans struggle to survive? >> yeah, there is two different things at play here. it goes to provide for

disasters. then there is separate one congress kept feeding and feeding for migrants who were coming illegally across the border. in all of this strains fema ability to disburse funds. that is the biggest part of this. talk about expanded responsibilities and numbers, hotels demanding reimbursement, ngo's, i believe it came to overwhelm the system and we saw hurricane helene and wildfires in los angeles, you have an agency spread too thin and congress did not do much to reign it. >> todd: i abuse frizz a lot, democrat donor industrial complex gets millions upon billions of dollars and that's the group you see protesting so much outside of congress on the streets because they are scared

that the gravy train is going away and the american taxpayer is happy and thankful. andrew arure this, appreciate your time and staying on top of this for us, we appreciate it. to brian to look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> whoa! >> bryan: listen to your show, learning to do television, this is what will be happening on the show, thank you, stop here issue chris. trump administration it is a second american hostage will return home today after marc fogel is freed from false imprisonment in russia. dramatic. how do you know this is mine? >> brian: his sister will join us for her first interview and talk about the time while he was in prison. we have steve witkoff, he is

>> carley: the "wall street journal" editorial board pushing back on democrat hysteria saying president trump's executive actions are pushing the u.s. towards a quote constitutional crisis saying, quote: there is no constitutional crisis that the cases make their way through

the courts. the real crisis would come as mr. trump defies the supreme court ruling. if that happens, and it could, the left may wish it hadn't squandered its credibility by crying wolf so often about crises that don't exist. >> todd: that is what we call a burn. joe concha joins us now. the mainstream media got its marching orders this year belabor the phrase constitutional crisis at every opportunity without explaining how or why such a constitutional crisis exists. what say you? >> cnn or msnbc or the editorial page of the "new york times" "the washington post." this time the memo went out this week, make sure you push those two words constitutional crisis as much as possible and it was all in an effort to gin up fear

around what donald trump is rightfully doing. i like what the "wall street journal" editorial board also say here when they broke it down quite easily, quote: mr. trump's domestic policy decisions strike us as following into at least three categories most rest on strong legal ground some are debatable and some can go the other ways in utter do. that is not a constitutional crisis, they conclude. that's exactly right. if you went out onto the street right now and you asked 100 people do you agree with a complete, comprehensive deep audit of all government agencies to see where wasteful spending is happening or even possible corruption, do you support that? and 99 out of 100, i would imagine, the other one being drunk would say yes, i absolutely support an audit of the government because almost everybody believes that the government is too bloated, is spending too much money being and most importantly can't account where money is being spent. this is what crump was elected on. it will go through the courts

it. may even get to the supreme court at one point. in the end it will be decided there. it's not a constitutional crisis, if you listen to any representativable legal scholar or analyst like a jonathan turley or andy mccarthy disney making changes to dei program. this will focus on business success instead of using dei in employee compensation. factor how our leaders uphold our company's values incorporate different perspectives to drive business success. cultivate an environment where all employees can thrive and sustain a robust pipeline to ensure long term organizational strength. what a 180 from disney which is extremely liberal corporation. one of the major companies to really champion dei and putting liberal ideas into their companies and products. what do you make of this? we are 23 days into this

administration. unprecedented for a new president to come in and change things so quickly just by his presence. his administration, his message throughout the campaign, having a direct result on these companies. i mean, we are talking amazon. we are talking g.m., mull son, coors, pepsi, target, walmart, u.s. military, countless others have all done away with their dei programs because they get that maybe this crazy concept of a merit based system of giving a job to the best person, the best candidate, regardless of color of their skin or sexual orientation, maybe that's the better way to go or the best person for the job actually gets the job because dei in the end, guys, should stand for didn't earn it. americans don't like it. get another item at donald trump elected on. >> todd: got to run. "fox & friends" now. ♪
