hostages and also advancing that ceasefire deal in gaza. alicia? if. alicia: danamarie mcnicholl, thank you so much. jonathan? jon that that: -- jonathan: to israel now where three more hostages are reuniting with their families today. a good with day, obviously, for those three and their families, but it still remains a far cry are from president trump's demand that all the hostages where releaseed. greg palkot has more. >> reporter: hello, jonathan. those three hostages delivered by hamased today. they had threatened not to do so, but they went forward, thankfully. included in the group released the many gaza, this is the sixth release, 36-year-old american-israeli sagui

dekel-chen, alexander troufanov, and ya a ir horn. after 498 days of captivity, they were transferred from gaza saw to to a nearby military base, then to area hospitals. the wife, mother and father of dekel-chen greeted him with exaltations, all three hostages appeared to be in much better shape than the group released last week who looked pretty gaunt and sickly. the group did receive bittersweet news as yair horn was greeted by his mother and one brother. another brother is still being held by hamas. dekel-chen had the great news about a newborn baby. in exchange for all this, some 369 palestinian prisoners were freed from israeli jails. 36 of them were serving life sentences. most of them will be deported to

second and third countries -- countries and, yes, there was that threat by president trump earlier this week of a noon deadline today for all the hostages to be released or else. while he noted in a recent post that didn't happen, he also left any kind of response to israel. this is where it gets trickery, jonathan. prime minister and new statesman seems to be settling for three hostages today, but he's holding a security cabinet meeting tonight at a 7 p.m. which happens to be noon in the united states. back to you. jonathan: certainly going to be interesting here in the u.s. greg palkot, as always, thank you so much. joining us now, israeli ambassador to the u.n., danny danon. mr. ambassador, it is always a pleasure to have you with us. we thank you for your time. what do you believe the security cabinet will decide when it meets in just about, just under two hours' time?

will all a hell break loose as president trump has said it should given that all the hostages have not been released today, or will prime minister netanyahu continue on this path with this fragile ceasefire holding? >> good morning, jonathan, and thank you for having me. yes, indeed, you know, we are very happy the see three hostages coming back to their a families. we are praying for the release of the rest of the hostages and determined to bring all of them back. we have to be grateful for president trump because only a if days ago a hamas said they would not release the three hostages, and they will violate the agreement, the framework we have with them. so i think the pressure the president put on the table helped to release those hostage. the cabinet will meet in two hours, they will discuss the next steps. we do have a framework with hamas. we are not happy about the framework, but we accepted it. basically, we mow that -- we know that we release convicted

murderers, in other words the receive the hostages, and there are still a few more weeks ahead of us that we can bring back the hostages. so prime minister netanyahu will lead the constitution do at noon u.s. time and will have to think about all options. with but i think hamas understanded today that we have no patience for any games. we will resume our military activity. jonathan: it sounds from if what you are saying, mr. ambassador, that all hell will not if break loose as president trump had suggested,ed. it should. if a hamas if keeps releasing the hostages on the current schedule. so we should not expect all-out war to be resumed in the next 24 the hours, for instance? >> jonathan, we are preparing for all options, you know? the military is ready, is capable. but at the same time, you know, we -- and the u.s. supported these efforts to achieve this framework. it wasn't easy for the

government to uphold this framework, but with i think the that's the decision many front of the cabinet, whether to move awe head with the proposal coming from the -- ahead with the proposal coming from the u.s. or to move forward with the framework and to get as many hostages as we can aa live. jonathan: and, mr. ambassador, as we look at the extraordinary pictures on our screen right now of the families being reunited, they bring us joy, and i think they bring joy to every reasonable person in the world every time we see those. but the juxtaposition to that is the release itself when we see these hostages led to the stage by dozens if not hundreds of hamas fighters. it is impossible for prime minister netanyahu to argue that he has achieved his goal of destroying hamas. there are hundreds of them every time we see these hostages released wearing masks, carrying

rifles. hamas is not destroyed by any means, it appears. >> i agree with you, jonathan. we have to to finish the job. we cannot allow hamas to regroup, to to recruit more terrorists and if to attack us again. and, you know, we are not worried about those pictures of few hundred militants of terrorists, but indid we know hamas is still in power in gaza. and that is why we are determined to make sure at the end of this war, hamas will not be there. they have to choose whether they want the move out by themselves to be exiled or they want the to wait for us to come and hunt them down. but we will make sure that hamas if will not stay in power in gaza. we are determined about it. jonathan: and, mr. ambassador, finally, the if i can talk to you about what president trump has said about the future of gaza, that the u.s. would take control of it, all palestinians, essentially, would be moved out to jordan and egypt. that sounds to some people like

what the president might be ultimately trying to do, is to hand gaza a to israel to increase israel's territory. is that a fair reading of it? >> no, absolutely not. i beg to the differ with you on that. we have no intentions to to go back to gaza. we left gaza in 2005, 20 years ago, and we are not bending to go back there. -- intending to go back there. i think the president is right, it's about a time for new ideas. so many leaders speak about the palestinian cause but are not offering new ideas. i think it's about time to think about new ideas, and countries in the region should support the process. so i think it's a good reaction by the president. i think now is the time for new ideas. jonathan: mr. ambassador with, as always, such a pleasure to talk to you. thank you so much for spending part of your saturday with us. thank you. >> thank you, jonathan.

democrat claims adams is essentially trump's political hostage. jonathan in jonathan: lauren green, thank you of. great to see you. alicia is? alicia: thanks, jonathan. the move to drop charges against new york city mayor eric adams a coming as the doj challenges the state's immigration policies. the attorney general's civil lawsuit against the empire state centers around what's called the green light law. how will that all a may out? if joining me now is former federal prosecutor andrew cherkasky. thank you so much, andrew, for being here. can you explain p first, what a.g. bondi is trying to do here with this green light law? >> well, attorney general bondi is really trying to put an end to renegade prosecutors in southern new york. that includes both the u.s. attorneys and the liberal ones who have stayed around from the if last administration and want to to continue with political prosecutions. and it also includes lee tissue, shah james and lawmakers in the tate of new york who are seeking

to end the use of affirmative new york state action to interfere or frustrate the efforts of immigration control on a federal scale. that violates the supremacy clause, ultimately. the state cannot pass laws or take action that directly interferes with that which is the federal authority. and here where the country is in so desperate need to get the immigration problem under control, we have new york laws and prosecutors who are acting on them to take steps to interfere with federal enforcement of the law. alicia: new york governor kathy hochul responding to the lawsuit on wednesday. in a statement, quote, our current laws allow federal immigration officials to access any dmv database with a judicial warrant. that's a common sense approach that most new yorkers support. but there's no way i'm letting federal agents or elon musk's shadowy doge operation get unfettered access to the

personal data of any new yorker in the dmv system. we expect pam bondi's worthless, publicity-driven lawsuit to be a total the failure just like all the a others. let me be clear, new york is not backing down. andrew, your reaction. >> well, the courts is have had a some rulings in the past that allow for system degree of sanctuary cities or these sanctuary policies of states. but those laws are not consistent with what the new york law is, and it's not consistent with the time frame that we're in where immigration crises have gotten so bad all around the country. so i think that when you really pick apart governor hochul's statement that is trying to attack elon musk's doge which is a perfectly legitimate government agency that was created by the obama administration and if just, i guess, retooled a bit under the priorities of president trump and you look at the actions of attorney general pam bondi to make sure that the federal

government and the executive branch's enforcement of the law is not something that is secondary to the state's enforcement of the law. i think that all of the actions that are being taken here are perfectly legitimate and fall in line with the constitution and the separation of powers in our country. alicia: we will continue to watch that. we're going to switch gears, andrew, to the city taking on president trump. denver public schools is suing the trump administration over i.c.e. access the schools, and we should note no school has been raided that we know of. still, the superintendent is speaking out. listen. >> if this, the goal was to the create fear in the community, it's been an absolute success is. folks are terrified. you're not going to find these criminals, these gang leaders and these rapists that we hear that is the target sitting crisscross apple sauce on the colorful rug. alicia: does he have any standing for this? this is the first public school

to do this in the country. >> well, i think that the fear that he's communicating is certainly something that is, that's created by the issue that we have with sanctuary cities. so to some degree, court precedent has said that cities or states that are simply not actively helping the federal government enforce immigration, that that is to some degree lawful. it's the interference of which is really the problem, and that comes in at government buildings like schools or apartment buildings that are owned by states. and so if federal officers want to come in in order to execute legitimate law enforcement purposes, does the state or local government at that point just step back like the law requires them to to enforce the law, or do they block the doors? do do they not allow people in? if that would be interference with those law enforcement activities and clearly illegal. so this lawsuit is necessary, i think, for these sanctuary cities that are trying to actively interfere with federal

law enforcement agents executing the law on government property like schools or like apartment buildings. and this is an important question, but i think the courts are going to be very they're -- very favorable to the trump administration. alicia: courts are very busy now, as we all know. andrew cherkasky, thank you very much. >> thank you. jonathan: we're going to dig into the republican rift over the government's budget coming up. house oversight committee chair james comer is here. and later, americans scrambling as prices are sizzling -- see what we did there? how the egg shortage is driving costs even higher. check in time is 3:00 it's 2:55. i know. is this what he's doing now? as your host, i have some rules. first, no showers longer than 5 minutes. this isn't a spa. no games. no fun. yes, coach.

do that so the grow the economy and to reduce spending. >> reporter: the senate, meantime, is pursuing a two-bill strategy. so the first bill focuses on the border, energy and defense. the second bill would focus on tax cutses. there are reports that senate republicans could act as early as next week to the take up its respect i budget resolution to the floor. it's likely ahead of house republicans since the house is in recess next week, and that could frustrate some house gop if members, but there are concerns over whether house republicans can get past in-fighting to pass one massive bill. ing some fiscal hawks want more spending cuts, other republicans are worried about how programs like medicaid might be affected or whether there's enough funding to pay for the president's priorities. >> the numbers you have to pay attention to are 218 and 51. 218 to pass anything in the house and 51 to get anything through the senate. >> reporter: minority if leader chuck schumer is expected the hold a conference with house democrats today to talk about

the senate gop if's plan for tax cuts. alicia. alicia: madeleine rivera live in washington, thanks. jonathan? jonathan: the big question is, can both chambers come to an agreement? house oversight committee chairman james comer joins us now. chairman comer, it's wonderful to have you. thank you for giving up part of your saturday to be with us, but i guess you guys are busy all time in d.c. these past few weeks. are we getting one big, beautiful bill as the president wants, or are we -- are your senate colleagues going to win this and put it on a sort of two-track plan? >> well, let's hope we get one, big, beautiful bill. that two-bill approach is the easy route. that first bill is the easy, no-brainer stuff. the second bill that the senate would then have to come back with is all the a tax cuts. and we're talking trillions of dollars of tax guts -- cuts which are going to have to be

offset with massive spending cuts in the senate doesn't really often times have the testimony act to do. so i hope -- the stomach to do. i hope we can do it all if in one big bill. exactly right. the question is, will the house of representatives, will the republicans stick together to pass president trump's agenda. and i think what jodey arrington has done in what he did getting the instructions passed out of the budget committee this week, that is what we need to do. it was a breakdown, you showed the graph on the screen of the different committees. my oversight committee has pledged to cut $50 billion in unnecessary spending. so this is going to be a team effort, and i hope everyone will be together on the team. we've got guys that want to cut more, we've got eyes that, honestly, don't want to cut a penny. but i think that's a fair if proposal that we can pass, we should be able to pass. and donald trump sure wants it to be passed, because that's his agenda.

jonathan: congressman, you mentioned the house budget chair, your colleague, owedty arrington. he said -- jodey arrington. he said this would amount to one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in modern history if it is passed. what a does it mean though, we talk about budget, which track it's on, the one wig, beautiful bill, the two tracks, reconciliation, etc. what would it mean to the average american if you get the one big, beautiful bill? what difference would they see in their lives immediately? if. >> well, first of all, they would see more money in their pockets because the one big, beautiful bill is going to extend the trump tax cuts as well as initiate some new tax cuts like no tax on tips. that was one of the big proposals that donald trump had that he campaigned on in places like nevada and all over the united states. finish that will put more money in their pockets. it reduces government spending, so i think that takes steps to start reducing inflation. one reason we have massive inflation in america now is

because joe biden and his friends in congress spent too much money. so i think it'll have a significant impact on the back pockets of every hard working, tax-paying american. in addition, it should restore confidence in america, confidence towards congress because congress continues to spend, spend, spend, spend $2 trillion a year more than it takes in, and that's not sustainable. and every american with common sense knows that. so i think the bill will be the most significant bill to pass out of congress in a generation, and i sure hope we can stick together and do it because this is president trump's agenda. he wants one big, beautiful bill, and, you know, we've got the ball rolling on the house side. jonathan: are you worried that it could lead this split in the republican party could cause problems within the party down the road, or are you confident the party wherever this leads will stay united behind president trump?

>> well, i think that's the key. behind president trump. every republican in our conference whether they agree or disagree with this budget proposal knows that donald trump is very popular with the majority of their constituents. the american people, despite watt liberal media says, support elon musk and his efforts to the go in and find improper payments and wasteful spending. that's what america expects congress to do. and donald trump's doing it, so i hope my colleagues in the house remember that when they vote on these bills and they do interviews and things like that. because weave -- we've got to get this passed. this is donald trump's agenda. this is what he received a mandate to the pass and, hopefully, we can get it done. jonathan: mr. chairman, i can't let you go without talking about manager that fascinates me. you just haunched the task force on declassification of federal secrets on the here heels of president trump's executive order to reveal records on jfk, martin luther king, rfk can.

what are we going to learn? i think it's absolutely fascinating. >> well, we're going to push the trump administration to do what he's ordered. a lot of times a president or cabinet secretary will order their cabinet to do something, and you've got the bureaucrats that don't always comply. we're going to get hit -- his back on this, and we're going to make sure the bureaucrats actually do what president trump wants done, and that's the release our secrets. america wants to know about the yfk and the martin luther king -- jfk and the martin luther king assassinations. they want to know who's on the epstein files and if our government was involved in a cover-up there. these are things the american people want to know. donald trump said he would leapt us know it, to we've got a task force that's going to follow through. we're going to evaluate everything that's released and try to figure out if there's more that they're sitting on or if there's evidence that's been destroyed, and we're going to have hearings and talk about it. anna a paulina luna's going to

lead that effort, and i think every american's curious about what we call federal secrets that our government has kept from us. ufos, things like that. i don't know what the answer to those questions are, but i'm curious, and i know people in kentucky are curious. so, hopefully, this'll be an interesting task force that will answer a lot of questions that americans have. jonathan: for sure. i can't think of anything that is more interesting to so many americans than the secrets that could be revealed here. house oversight committee chairman james comer, wonderful to have you. thank you so much for spending part of your saturday with us, sir. >> thanks for having me. alicia: jonathan, i'm curious too, so -- coming up, americans scrambling over egg prices spiking. a new jersey if bakery owner on how much she's shelling out. then, tiktok is ticking again. the move that a put the popular platform back on app stores. is it here to stay? if ousands of veteran homeowners, you may need money for your family.

but you can't, you know in the structure, the poiseture, the taste, you need -- moisture, you need fresh eggs for that. and our biggest concern is, yes, price is one thing, but the other concern is availability. what happens if we're not able to get them or we're restricted, you know? if eggs are not something that you can stockpile and sit on. of you have to, you know, just -- they have expiration dates that you have to closely monitor. is so that is a real concern for us right now. alicia: you're right. freshness is a component of keeping your customers also, because they know what they're looking for, if they depend on you for that, and you depend on those eggs. so are you having the pass on the cost to customers right now in. >> we're not right now. we, you know, we feel like, you know, our customers because of inflation and all of the things that have happened over the last few years with the economy just can't bear any more increases. so we decided we're not going to do that. and, you know, we're absorb ising them into our profit margins, the extra cost for eggs

which is becoming considerable. and, you know, my advice the other small bakeries is and something that we're following is offering other products that are not egg of based so that -- egg-based so that we can spread the cost. at the end of the day, your bottom line isn't as severely are impacted. alicia: i'm sure your customers appreciate that. but to to make matters worse, chocolate prices have also gone up, and you're a bakery and also a chocolate business, and your not passing it on to to customers, that's pretty admirable. how much longer do you think you can continue this way with this kind of consistency? >> quite honestly, my daughter and i, who's my business partner, spent the last week working on pricing structures and just seeing how long, and we predicted out how long, you know, where's the threshold, where is that break-even point where we will have to, you know, institute some price increases. and we're really trying to avoid is it as a much as we can, but i'm thinking within the next 2463 months if this doesn't change -- 2-3 months, if

signaled he is optimistic about a sale to a u.s. owner. so what happens next in cybersecurity attorney leeza garber here to discuss. leeza is, thank you so much for being here. you know, the president postponed the ban until april 5th because he's pretty sure something can get done. what do you think in. >> it's a pleasure if to be on with you this morning, and it's quite fitting for tiktok lovers that that it came back on valentine's day. now you can download are it freely instead of paying for a beat-up, old phone that had an old version of tiktok on it. we're till seeing it climb the charts, hundreds of millions of downloads in the united states, but that doesn't mean that the turmoil for tiktok is over. we have deadline ares looming. we saw -- deadlines looming. we saw that the attorney general told apple and google that they would not be fined pursuant to the law that's in place right now per or the doj which could add a up to billions of dollars in fines every day if they do decide to change their minds. but right now big tech is

betting on trump, that he will be able to prove his deal-making skills with tiktok. alicia: yeah. and the president came up with this idea that he floated that it's possible to keep bytedance, the owner of tiktok, in the picture. and he kind of said that there could be a possibility or you have a u.s. owner it is a sort of partnered with a chinese owner where they have some sort of permit in order to continue using it. does this raise any if security concerns with you in how realistic does that sound? if. >> the plan needs more specifics if place because right now we've seen bipartisan support for the ban because of concerns with national security, and we also are to recognize the context of all of this. it's not just about a tiktok, of course. we're looking at a very heated situation between the united states and china for reasons of tariffs, the a.i. race and the battle over chips and exports. so there's so many factors coming into play right now that are also a weighing down on tiktok and national security

concerns as well, and we see that president trump has put vice president j.d. vance in charge of overseeing a deal and also the national security advisor. so he has great stakeholders in place. but to say that china could still be a a part of it does sound problematic. alicia: yeah. and, when it comes to the sale of this company p it seems like such a successful company. correct me if i'm wrong, it seems like something, i don't know, some billionaire would want to buy. there are people who are in this conversation, we know, but why didn't -- why don't we have people jumping at the chance to own tiktok in the united states? what's going on there? >> we do have so many people that are throwing billions of dollars in cash at this problem, and we have very lucky, open contenders. but the issue is whether china's going to to allow the sale. they're pushing back. they're not making this an easy road. so is we're going to see those deal making skills in play because right now it's very heated between the u.s. and china. alicia: well, leeza gasher,

thank you so much. -- garber, thank you so much. those people who depend on tiktok for their livelihood are watching closely. hope you have a good one. >> thank you. you too. alicia: thank you. jonathan, also, there are tons of people out there, as i said, who are depending on it. i don't know how to use with it, i don't know about you. [laughter] jonathan. i don't know how to the use it, but my kids, my teenage kids love it. my 15 is-year-old son, harry, for instance, said anybody when votes to ban tiktok, they don't know what they're talking about, and can they should remember in harry's words that, come the next election, he will be able to vote. so my teens are really into it. they absolutely love it. i feel a little disconnected because i don't put it on my phone. i don't want it there. but i definitely feel a little disconnected from the things that they're seeing. you know, it is so popular with all of our kids and a lot of other people too, alicia. alicia: absolutely. and harry has a point there.

these tiktok users are voters, and they're coming up. so folks in washington need to pay attention to that. my kids are the same way. and if their attitude, right or wrong, is it's bad, if they already is have our data, they already have it. they really don't seem that concerned. we will continue to watch it, for sure. jonathan: yeah, absolutely. it's going to be an interesting one. alicia: it will. three more israeli hostages reunited with their families today despite signs the ceasefire deal is straining. will secretary of state marco rubio get things back on track before president trump's noon deadline? house armed services committee member pat fallon weighs in. plus, doge digging in. now democrats are acting how -- out. the questions they want elon musk to answer. and a triple threat of severe storms, floods and ask and snow slamming parts of the united states. where you need to hunker down when "fox news live" continues.
