final ring and they come in, just a feeling they have the hair on hair arms come up. did you know this dog had something special on this night? >> in that kind of environment and that energy and this dog thrives off that and he doesn't get nervous. he just is like let's go. going through the tunnel and you see the lights and cheering, you just have to trust that he knows what he is doing and i just hold on. he never disappoints me. >> lawrence: what does he get for winning? >> he gets to go home and be our pet. he gets steak all the time. my husband makes him filets, ribeyes, whatever we cook. >> brian: he is best in show and should get a steak. >> i want you to know i'm not a hero in this at all and

president trump is the hero. >> bill: welcome home, marc fogel. president trump secured his release three years in a russian jail and his story was really not out there. now he is home and that was not the only big moment we saw at the white house yesterday. yesterday afternoon around 12:50 sandra smith walked out of her office and she said a bit of a slow day right now. that changed in a moment yesterday. big events. we'll go through them together. i'm bill hemmer. good morning. >> dana: in the marc fogel story, a wonderful one for him and his family and fascinating as well. before we do that talk about this. elon musk made a surprise appearance in the oval office yesterday standing alongside president trump and for the first time answered questions on his efforts to root out government waste. >> we are talking about adding common sense controls that should be present that haven't been present. it is really just saying let's look at each of these expenses

and say is this actually in the best interest of the people? if it is, it's proven. >> bill: it was something else to watch, right? live look at the hill. 10:00 a.m. eastern. the doge subcommittee holds its first hearing calling it the war on government waste. we could see fireworks. some democrats have predicted that. they are throwing the kitchen sunk at musk and his mission. >> dana: bleeper button probably should be ready. peter doocy. >> mr. musk is taking democratic criticisms of the doge effort head on. >> some of the things that i say will be incorrect and should be corrected. so nobody is going to bat 1,000. we will make mistakes but quickly correct any mistakes. >> democrats continue complaining about musk's new influence in the trump white house. >> everyone knows there is waste

in government and should be cut. but doge is using a meat axe and cutting things efficient and effective. if you want to make cuts, then you do it through a debate in congress, not lawlessly by just implementing them. >> musk and trump are hoping to keep the public on their side flagging things that just seem impractical like the analog system for processing federal retirements that requires 700 opm workers and millions of manila envelopes, 230 feet beneath pennsylvania in an old limestone mine shaft. >> this mine looks like something out of the 50s because it was started in 1955. it looks like a time warp. then the speed, the limiting factor is the the speed at which the mine shaft elevator can move determines how many people can retire from the federal government. you can do practically anything

else and you would add to the goods and services of the united states in a more useful way. >> the witness list at this first of its kind house doge caucus meeting this morning -- hearing includes a former f.b.i. special agent and director of a welfare fraud council. the title is, the scourge of improper payments. dana. >> dana: marjorie taylor greene is the chairperson of that committee. >> bill: byron york with us now. musk is not a politician when he says i will make mistakes. you never hear that from a person in washington. back to musk in the oval office saying this is what the american people voted for. >> you couldn't ask for a stronger mandate from the public. the public voted -- if you have a majority of the public voting

for president trump, won the house, won the senate, the people voted for major government reform. that's what people are going to get. they will get what they voted for. a lot of times people that don't get what they voted for. in this presidency they will get what they voted for and that's what democracy is all about. >> bill: you can reflect or talk about the hearing that is forthcoming. there are some democratic lawmakers that have had very abrasive language already against this effort. we will see how they look during this thing. >> you know, i think what you saw in the oval office yesterday was an attempt to regularize what is going on with doge. for three weeks we've been hearing a report of this and that and gone this office or that office and found this ridiculous waste or that. nothing systematic feeling about it. so yesterday you had elon musk

himself, extraordinary scene showing up in the oval office to explain what they were trying to do. president trump signed an executive order yesterday ordering doge and federal agencies to work together in a more systematic way and hopefully that will also mean releasing more information about what they are doing. they cut this program, that program, they found this crazy grant, that crazy grant. more systematicly show and explain to the american people what's going on. >> dana: exactly, more transparency the better for sure. he mentioned this mine. this is the federal employee retirement center. it says retirements from processed using paper by hand in an old limestone mine in pennsylvania. 700 plus mine workers operate 230 feet underground to process 10,000 applications per month which are stored in manila

envelopes in cardboard boxes. the retirement process takes multiple months and they offered all federal employees this chance to get out of government and i'm sure they were shocked to find out that could take months. this is a good example of what many presidents have tried to fix but you just run up against the bureaucracy wall. >> it was a great example. musk said it was something out of the 1950s because it was out of the 1950s. it is so far removed from the way you would run the system if you were creating it today. you are right, it is not like elon musk is the the first guy to discover antiquated out of date, inefficient practices in the federal government. the question is whether he can actually change any of that. it is certainly something really worth doing. and remember doge is department of government efficiency. doesn't mean just firing people. it means actually doing the job better.

that's a great example. >> bill: i mentioned democrats. this is from last week. just a little sample here now. watch and listen. >> we are going to fight on your behalf and congress. >> we need to raise hell. >> elon come here and face us, bring yourself over here. >> he is a liar and crook. >> we ain't going to stand around. >> bill: that was a collage of the reaction. we didn't show the audience, the numerous amounts of f bombs dropped at that rally yesterday. pretty extraordinary stuff. what trump has said is hey, maybe i put this to a vote. you think about that, byron. everybody will have to go on record. will you agree to audit to federal government or not? i imagine it's a rather popular thing now for at least 51% if not more of the country. >> problem is a lot of democrats have put themselves on the side of defending some of the most unpopular parts of the federal

government. federal spending and a bloated bureaucracy. they had a rally with federal employees unions yesterday where they ended singing 1930s union organizing songs. so they appear to be on the wrong side of the issue. but they really think this is a winner for them and why you've seen them focus. it has taken them a while to figure out what to do. trump came into office with such a whirlwind of activity. so much positive discussion about what he was doing. so democrats were kind of sitting back and figuring out what can we do here? they've decided to make musk and the changes that musk working with trump wants to make in government, they've decided to make him the main target of this. we'll see how it works. right now they are defending a number of unpopular things. >> dana: byron, i look your back drop. i love it. all the books and papers and you can tell you work very hard.

how do you keep track and focus at this point on the news cycle? what are you looking for we might not be paying attention to? >> i'm 1,000 feet underground in a pennsylvania mine shaft. i didn't tell you that. it's extremely difficult because this is a first three weeks like we have never seen with any new administration. so i think what you have to do is try to look at some of the big stories and then dive into them a little bit. for example, when there was this bru-ha-ha about trump cutting some of the funding spending from the national institutes of health for what are called indirect costs for grants to universities and research institutions. you look into that a little bit and you find out that other grant making agencies like the robert wood johnson foundation or bill and melinda gates foundations are the big

foundations that fund scientific and medical research. they cap indirect costs just like trump was proposing to do. you need to get into this a little bit to understand what's going on. frankly, you cannot get the whole story just from reading a newspaper. >> dana: more layers. >> bill: from byron's bat cave. nice to see you today. well done. we mentioned this democrats accusing the president of ignoring the checks and balances in the government especially from the judiciary branch. the president asked that about repeatedly yesterday insisting that is not the case. >> if a judge does block one of your policies, part of your agenda, will you abide by that ruling? >> president trump: i always abide by the courts and then i will have to appeal it. he has slowed down the momentum and gives crooked people more time to cover up the books. if a person is crooked and they get caught, other people see that and all of a sudden it becomes harder later on. so yeah, the answer is i always

abide by the courts, always abide by them and we'll appeal. but appeals take a long time. >> bill: and they can. the new attorney general is pam bondi. our guest to address all this in 30 minutes. stay tuned there. all right. >> dana: the first inflation read out of 2025 is here. the new report shows that consumer price index rose 3% from a year earlier faster than the 2.9 rate economists expected. not the only thing weighing in. grocery stores and restaurants are raising prices as bird flu sends egg prices soaring. we talked about some of the limitations on that. lydia hu is here with more. >> this morning's report also told us that egg prices have soared 53% in just one year. this dozen of eggs our producers scoured the shelves to find $10.49 for 12 eggs. i'm not a math expert. almost a dollar an egg. pretty expensive.

what's behind this? we have a deadly strain of the bird flu. prices are surging, supply the dwindling. farmers have lost more than 46 million chickens since october. more than all lost in 2022. the laying hen population is the lowest in ten years. these are the prices, nationwide we talk about 8.11 wholesale for a dozen eggs. that's an all-time high up 267% since just october. so this means we're paying more but we're also having trouble finding eggs in some places. look at some of these signs. grocery stores are limiting purchases. in some cases one package per day, three cartons per person if you can find them. some stores completely out of stock. major retailers resorting to the measures. whole foods, trader joe's, and also seeing some restaurant chains having to raise prices,

waffle house now having to implement a surcharge, $0.50 per egg. the usda prices will continue to rise by another 20% for eggs throughout the year. one egg farmer from central new jersey. we have fewer eggs. try to stay calm. buy what you need, don't panic buy and we'll get through it sooner than later. >> dana: i am thinking of getting some in the backyard. i don't stère a backyard. i live in the city. that's why the eggs are so expensive. >> bill: the opening bell. the inflation number was higher than we would like. let's get to this now. the third major winter storm this week now taking aim at the midwest and east coast and we'll have a look at that and you have to see this from late last night. >> i will forever be indebted to president trump, to steve over

there. what a dynamic man. >> dana: emotional return to u.s. soil. wrongfully detained teacher marc fogel is back from russia. you will hear from him. dave mccormick was on the scene in the oval office and join us next. >> bill: woke goes belly up at the happiest place on earth. changes at disney that have long been in the offing now coming back. baby: liberty! mom: liberty mutual is all she talks about since we saved hundreds by bundling our home and auto insurance.

biberty: it's pronounced "biberty." baby: liberty! biberty: biberty! baby: liberty! biberty: nice try, kid. only pay for what you need ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ baby: liberty. hank used to suffer from what felt like a cold & flu medicine hangover in the morning. ha ha. haha! then he switched to mucinex nightshift. mucinex is uniquely formulated to leave your system faster, so you wake up ready to go. uhh, hank! try mucinex nightshift and feel the difference.

i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably.

one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100 percent of your home's value. if you need cash for your family call newdayusa. with automatic authority from the va we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call. veteran homeowners need cash but worried you can't get a home loan because of your credit? here's great news. at newday we've been granted automatic authority by the va to make our own loan approval decisions. in fact, if you've had credit challenges and missed a payment along the way, you're more than five times more likely to get approved for the newday 100 va cash out loan. no one knows veterans like newday usa.

>> bill: back at it now. snow in our nation's capital. president trump poised for another cabinet victory today. tulsi gabbard slated for a final senate confirmation vote later this morning. she is trump's pick to be dni, director of national intelligence. voting was delayed due to snow

hitting the capitol. key republicans on the senate side, she is confirmed as the 14th cabinet member and bring it to you when it happens in washington, d.c. another one now. president trump's former lawyer, todd blainch on the hill. trump tapped him to serve as the second highest ranking justice department official. democrats likely to press him on loyalty to the president. he was the president's lawyer for that case here in new york and david spunt knows that all too well live at d.o.j. now. david, good morning to you. >> good morning to you. if confirmed todd blanch would run the day-to-day operations at the justice department as the deputy attorney general under attorney general pam bondi. he is known as a no nonsense former federal prosecutor spectate on both sides of the aisle and spent a lot of time at the department of justice and people praised him for his work there. he served as the president's personal defense attorney during his major criminal cases in 2023

and 2024. he is expected to say he will follow the rule of law in his relationship with the president won't affect that. i heard from top d.o.j. officials. they are transparent about implementing the president's agenda and why the american people wanted this in november and no secret they will carry out such an agenda. a 180 from the prior d.o.j. under garland who rarely met with president biden and made clear the justice department was separate from the white house. blanch is expected to be confirmed though he will have tough questions today during this confirmation hearing. once he is on board, if he is indeed confirmed he will work with his former co-counsel bove acting in the number two spot at d.o.j. both served as defense attorneys for the president and both work under attorney general pam bondi who joins you all in a few moments. >> bill: david spunt, department of justice, thanks. >> i feel like the luckiest man

on earth right now and knowing i had the support of my fellow pennsylvaniaians, my family, my friends, it was so overwhelming that it brought to my knees and tears. i will forever be indebted to president trump, i love our country and i'm so happy to be back here. >> dana: gratitude and relief. american school teacher marc fogel thanks president trump after being released from prison in russia. his return. august 14th of 2021 arrested on bringing medical marijuana to russia. june of 2022. sentenced to 14 years in russia and at a hard labor camp.

finally in august of 2022, biden is urged by lawmakers to change him to a political prisoner. it took a while. lawyers and paperwork. then this, the day that president trump was shot right before that just minutes before that, fogel's mother met with trump and our next guest in butler, pennsylvania. if you win will you bring my son home? he said he would. december of 2024 he was designated as lawfully detained and last night, of course, marc is released and returns home. republican pennsylvania senator dave mccormick was there for all of it and joins us now. fogel is from pennsylvania. you were there. as a candidate even i believe you were at that butler meeting, dave. >> yeah, thank you, dana. great to be here. what a joy to see marc fogel celebrating last night. we had a chance to meet with president trump and i did as well with marc fogel's mom. she is 95 years old at the butler rally.

and president trump made a promise that if he was elected he would try to bring him home. i made the same promise, 22 days into the president's term and marc is home. such a joy. this just shows what leadership and focus can do. this is what america first looks like. focusing on american citizens and marc was overjoyed. his family is overjoyed and we're so proud of him and proud of the president for making it all happen. >> dana: let's show a little bit of his mother on america reports on tuesday. >> i woke up -- when he called this morning, it was just a total shock, first of all, because of the time he called, and with the news. so it's just, you know, an unbelievable situation right now. i think the first thing he will do is stoop down and kiss the ground. >> dana: there were prisoners released during the biden

administration. he was not one of them. please play call for number four. biden officials were asked about that. >> i want to ask about marc fogel. why wasn't he part of this conversation or this deal >> there is a limit in this particular case what i can say publicly. we're mindful. >> any specifics on marc fogel or any others i would refer you to the state department for additional information on those specific cases. >> dana: is there anything more that you can tell us now he is home about why they were hesitant or what they were trying to tell us? >> not really. he was -- the family was getting the runaround and the mother came to my home in pittsburgh, deana and i had her visit our house and we couldn't understand why he wasn't being designated as wrongfully detained. that's within the administration's ability do that. the moment it happens there is a whole different treatment of our hostages. so that happened very late in

the biden administration and the day president trump got into office, when secretary rubio came to testify before senate foreign relations this was the first question i asked him. we had a bipartisan effort. senator fetterman and i and members of the delegation of pennsylvania we all came together to put the focus on this and president trump and his team delivered the goods. and so what an exciting day for his family. i but i think it was a lack of focus and leadership and we've seen what a difference leadership can make. >> dana: they have a big feature story in the "wall street journal" about this case. at the end of it they say when he was able to write letters one of the things he said is teachers should be considered to be as important as basketball players. let's listen to president trump last night on the terms of the deal. >> what were the terms of the deal, mr. president? >> president trump: very fair, very, very fair and reasonable. not like deals you've seen over

the years. they were very fair. and that will lead -- somebody else is being released tomorrow that you will know of. i think this could be the very important element you could be a big part of it actually because it could be a big important part of getting the war over with ukraine. >> dana: i know that has been something you paid attention to as well. secretary of defense pete hegseth is in europe and he said this morning in the future that ukraine would not be a part of nato. is that part of your understanding how this will at shape out? >> well, i think the president has said that and i agree that we shouldn't propose ukraine to be part of nato. i thought what the president said last night. i don't know what the specifics of that decision were that led to marc's release, it is a good step forward. i think we almost have uniform agreement time to stop the fighting in ukraine and this is a positive first step in the right direction and again i think it all comes down to

leadership. you see now energetic leadership is what president trump promised and part of delivering those promises. >> dana: senator mccormick, come back and visit us often. congratulations to you and your team and the fogels. >> yes, i will. >> that is a constitutional crisis and that by the way is how dictators come into power. >> bill: as we await the first-ever house doge subcommittee hearing, democrats are dogging trump and musk in reference to rein in the spending. see how it goes today. could get hot. following trump's executive order protect the integrity of women's sports ncaa has a major letter that went out to everybody acrows the country. now there is a push for more changes and we'll tell you about that when we continue. boost to help ease you back in to the dating scene. of course, that also includes

>> bill: here we go, four

minutes ago the bell went down on wall street. we're off to a negative side here. the inflation report out one hour ago was not good. higher and hotter inflation than we want. stocks will take the hit today. the fed chair powell yesterday saying that they will sit tight on interest rates for now. maybe that changes, huh? powell speaks again in 30 minutes so we'll watch and listen for that. stand by for more. meanwhile you have democrats taking to the streets or the parks in washington, d.c. to protest doge's efforts to slash government spending. some within the party are warning lawmakers to pick their battles. it could get hot in 30 minutes. chad pergram has more from the hill. good morning to you. >> bill, good morning. democrats are dogging doge launching daily verbal broadsides against doge, president trump and elon musk. it is white hot rhetoric from the left. they speak of the president and musk in profane terms.

>> i just want to correct what a couple of my colleagues said. they used that word in front of donald trump's name. what they meant to say [bleep]. donald trump and elon musk. >> i don't swear in public very well but we have [bleep]. >> bill: liberals conduct regular demonstrations as federal agencies threatened by doge. yesterday they rallied on capitol hill with members of the union which represents many federal employees. don't expect the protests to stop any time soon as democrats intensify their language. >> that is a constitutional crisis and that by the way is how dictators come into power. so the organizing in the streets is very, very, very important and i know that we are doing a town hall next week when i'm back in the district and had 2,000 people sign up for that town hall. >> so far the moves by musk to cut programs and spending appears to resonate in votes.

one democrat is worried about his party showing outrage at everything the administration does. >> we can't always be at a ten. we have to find degrees of outrage here. as far as the messaging i think in the beginning it was all over the place and i think right now you are seeing us get tighter on it. >> the senate budget committee prepares a bill to spend $175 billion for border security. that's part of president trump's big, beautiful bill. the administration asked for immediate help to seal the border. >> bill: we'll see that hearing in 25 minutes and we'll watch for that as well. thank you, chad, nice to see you on the hill. >> dana: president trump's education department advancing his agenda to protect female athletes. the department urging the ncaa to correct the record and strip transgender athlete titles won against women. let's bring in staff writer and independent women's forum carolyn downey and todd piro. here a statistic.

march of 2024, 600 female athletes have lost to men in sports. 890 medals lost in 29 different sports. so caroline, do you think they should go back and strip the medals. >> we need some justice here. this is why largely trump won is because he took the 80% on 80/20 issues and women's sports. 70% of the electorate thinks it's unfair and disenfranchises women in categories were long fought. lia thomas shouldn't have been in the arena to begin with. all the trophies, scholarships and awards money all needs to go back in my opinion. that is -- that was discriminatory and the women are the ones who deserve that. >> bill: we sat here every day talking about it and seemed like

we were the only voice in the woods saying is this right? majority of americans and democrats oppose the trans athletes in women's sports. the number is 79%, todd. >> close to her number there. my only problem with this. a step in the right direction. we all know that moment when you win in the arena is something special. these women can't get that moment back. yes, they can get the physical medal but to recreate the excitement one feels with the crowd surrounding you, you can't get that back and sad they were deprived of that for a woke agenda that is now being undone. >> dana: other things are being undone. disney was not the only company but let's talk about disney dropped its d.e.i. effort saying moving and changing content disclaimers on older movies, shifting executive compensation factors and ending program established to amplify unrepresented voices are gone. >> the first sign that disney

was ditching d.e.i. is in december right after the election when they got rid of this transgender story line in upcoming children's show. the writing was on the wall but we shouldn't believe that this is some sudden epiphany that dei is -- this is a business calculation. it was then and now. they are following the trend and >> they should have been doing it all along. that is what is required to your shareholders. on obligation to hire the best and putting out content that people want. hiring people on the basis of d.e.i. and putting out a bunch of woke things is not what the people want. they will get in trouble for this new snow white that is coming out. that is not along the lines of what they are supposed to be doing. this new snow white coming out in march, spoken like a dad, is

very woke. it will be interesting to see how this plays with this new disney that we've seen over the last couple of weeks here. those don't mesh together. old disney up until sort of right after frozen is pretty good. it still resonates and still holds. we turned out okay. it was really 2016, 2017 they started to go awry and if you ask me what from that era i watch, there is nothing that is even -- that even strikes a cord. it doesn't have the universal truths that everybody wants. tangled, my favorite, which is great, frozen, all the others, little mermaid all resonate with people and why they are classics. >> bill: we'll bring you back and once snow white comes around. >> woke snow white. >> bill: there is news to be made right now in brussels, belgium. new defense secretary pete hegseth talking about the future

>> bill: now president trump defending doge in its efforts to root out corruption in the government. he is touting results already and blasting the courts for ruling against the department which could play out for some time now. the attorney general fresh on the job is pam bondi and she has a beautiful back drop there at the north lawn of the white house. thank you for your time and good morning. i want to play a sound bite from yesterday about the judges here. here is president trump on that. >> president trump: we want to weed out the corruption and it seems hard to believe that a judge could say we don't want you to do that. well, so maybe we have to look at the judges because that's a very serious -- i think it's a vi serious violation. >> that comment in there maybe we have to look at the judges. what does that mean? >> well, bill, we have so many unelected judges who are trying to control government spending.

there is a clear separation of powers. they are doing it to elon musk, who is a great man and good friend at doge. what they are doing to him, to our country is outrageous. people work their whole lives and pay taxes. yet they find out that they've been giving $2 million to guatemala for sex changes? it's outrageous and it is going to stop. we'll fight back. not only with usaid and all these other agencies. in is happening every day. d.o.j. we're prepared to defend all these cases and we will carry out president trump's agenda in this country. >> bill: the president can't go after these judges, so to speak. >> these judges are lifetime appointments but what we can do is appeal them. that's what is actually happening today in a case. we're appealing a case right now. it went up to the first circuit and the first circuit sent it back to the court to clarify.

if they don't rule in our favor we'll go to the supreme court and get a ruling. we have outrageous, overzealous, unconstitutional judges trying to control federal spending. that's what has been happening to kristi noem. the roosevelt hotel is the most prominent example of that trying to force us to release tax dollars. one elected district judge is trying to do that to our entire country. but we will appeal it and that is our remedy. >> bill: we're familiar with the roosevelt hotel a few blocks from our studio. ice going after illegal criminals. tom homan and kristi noem. >> where are the leaks coming from? >> we think it is coming from inside. some of the information we're receiving tends to lead toward the f.b.i. but i talked to 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, they will go to jail. they will criminally prosecute. >> bill: strong language. i heard language from you yesterday that echoed that. between noem, hoe man and you. we heard stories this morning out of denver, colorado in local newspapers. have you found the leaker as of now? >> i can't talk about anything ongoing. what i will say and to explain to you and the american people, why this is so wrong and so illegal is it -- any time you leak anything about a pending investigation, what do you do? you jeopardize the lives of our men and women in law enforcement who are going in there to make these arrests. it is dangerous enough making these arrests, yet when you leak it and give criminals a heads-up that they are coming, it could jeopardize lives and that is

illegal and we will not tolerate it in the f.b.i., in any department within the united states government. >> bill: you don't have any names or -- >> i can't talk about any of that with you. >> bill: with regard to the f.b.i. the potential for layoffs for terminations, what do you think of that? should there be concerns at the f.b.i.? >> there are great -- i've been working with them. there are great men and women within the f.b.i. and i want to make that crystal clear. we all believe that. they are the troops on the ground who want to be going back to their core function fighting violent crime. d.e.a., a.t.f., f.b.i. want to get the criminals off the streets. that's what we'll do. we'll restore them to their core function. are there bad people in there? yes? will we find them? yes? >> will we root them out? absolutely. the majority of men and women in law enforcement are great people and we want to keep them to do their jobs and enable them to do their jobs. most of the problem i think is
