had own read on the situation a story i have been trying to fix for 10 years. what's your response to? if you remember the media went wild over this story. >> oh, yeah. this is miami dolphins and this was an offensive guard alignment richie indog any toe accused of bullying and racism. and the media went with this whole narrative you are guilty until proven innocent. this was bull i didn't beat. and richie incognito's career destroyed as a result of martin's acquisitions pushed by his mother. and the fact that he didn't get a fair trial, so to speak, in the court of public opinion, incognito doesn't get his career back now. martin is apologizing. that's where we are at, unfortunately. >> carley: 10 years later you always get the real truth. got to leave it there, joe. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪
3:01 am
>> 6:00 a.m. on the east coast and presidents' day, monday, february the 17th. this is "fox & friends." democrats are calling on new york city mayor eric adams to resign after the doj dropped federal charges against him. now the mayor is responding. >> ? this is outrageous violation of the rules of prosecutors. >> it is outright extortion. >> come on, this is silly. >> judge hear arguments as 14 states look to block elon musk and doge from federal data. >> >> steve: yep. good luck with that president trump revving up the crowd at the daytona 500. [cheers] [cheers and applause] >> steve: walking with his granddaughter, carolina right there. hey, "fox & friends" starts right now. and, remember, mornings are
3:02 am
better when you watch fox. ♪ shook me all night long ♪ yeah, you ♪ shook me all night long ♪ live from "studio m" welcome aboard. >> kayleigh: thank you. >> steve: ainsley and brian are off and kayleigh is in today. >> kayleigh: thank you. >> steve: and lawrence, welcome back. >> lawrence: thank you. >> steve: we will looked to the left and there was air force one at palm beach international airport. right after we left the president hopped in the plane, flew to northern portions of florida and flew over the nazareth car, daytona 500, the premier event. and the crowd went wild. hundreds of thousands of people down. there went crazy because, let's face it, nascar is trump
3:03 am
country. >> kayleigh: you know, steve, i was watching this and thinking to myself what a contrast from the years of president joe biden. president trump is a phenomenal president in my view. a great conservative person who i think will one day be on the footing of ronald reagan if he keeps up this pace. he is also one of the greatest producers of all time. he knows thousand create moments, these flyovers. i have been in air force one with them let's fly over this event. >> steve: let's buzz it. >> kayleigh: he creates moments. >> lawrence: also, you are the commander-in-chief. you have the bully pulpit. all the attention is on you. these are easy pr wins. going out there. being with the american people, whether it is the daytona 500 or the super bowl. >> steve: right. >> lawrence: being out there with the american people saying thank you, i appreciate you. saluting our troops as you saw the president do. but it's when he addressed the daytona 500 is what got everybody talking. let's watch. >> this is your favorite
3:04 am
president, i'm a big fan. i'm a really big fan of you penal thpeople. how do you this, i don't know. i want you to be safe. talented people and great people and great americans. have a great day, have a lot of fun. and i will see you later. >> steve: it is brilliant marketing you have a couple hundred thousand people there, i believe. and then you have got millions watching. and this clip right here of the beast going around daytona in daytona beach, florida has gone viral. here's the thing. the event yesterday for trump actually kind of doubled as a victory lap so far because when you look at donald trump, the second administration. he is polling higher than he has ever polled before. he got almost -- his entire cabinet has been already confirmed with the exception of matt gaetz and he bowed offer after being nominated about 15 minutes. but he is having a really good start. >> kayleigh: i think that's a key point. some would say oh, this is
3:05 am
daytona. this is trump country. i'm a floridian. northern florida indeed trump country. when you look at the cbs poll, 53% approval rating. that's not it. you look at trafalgar 54% approval rating. it is hard for any president to breach that 50% mark. he has done it. same brake neck space. over all. age gender executive orders. he is getting 60% approval on some of these issues. >> lawrence: i had some delays on my flight trying to get bace last night. >> steve: weather is awful. >> lawrence: weather is terrible. made it to d.c. finally made it to new york. talking with folks on the plane. the conversation on the plane was about they didn't realize how much money we were wasting as a government. and i know the democrats have their strategy of how they are going to attack him. but he is winning this issue with the american people. i talked with some first time
3:06 am
trump voters. i question them do you regret your vote? none of them regretted their vote. they feel like finally we have someone that is focused on them and the needs of their family. and so i'm just wondering, this is another goal for the democrats. got one day off probably for presidents' day. are you going to shift the strategy this week and focus on something that resonates with the american people? >> kayleigh: i love what you are saying because i am watching, i was on the other coast this weekend. so i'm up late watching these reruns liberal networks and they were fretting almost to the point of thinking we would be in nuclear war because some of these federal employees were cut from the depa department of ene. oh my goodness. so hyperbolic and over the top. you would think after 8 years of this they would have learned hyperbole doesn't work. >> steve: we will talk about boge -- bode -- doge in a couple
3:07 am
of minutes. 7 of 10 voters approve of how the president is trying to streamline the government. make no mistake about it with thousands of people laid off in washington. we all know people in washington. >> lawrence: oh, yes. >> steve: and we know people who have been laid off or fired outright. your heart breaks for them and their family situation they got to figure out what they are going to do. nonetheless, washington has become a great big flat bloated machine over the decades. president trump when he was not president ran on if i can, i will try to reform the government and that's what is happening right now. but, what's happening over in europe, is a little different. because french president emmanuel macron is holding an emergency summit to discuss what president trump is doing in ukraine. >> kayleigh: at least seven key european countries union officials are expected to attend. >> lawrence: alex hogan is live from london this morning. what are they discussing, alex? >> good morning. these european leaders are scrambling.
3:08 am
gathering today to discuss the changing security dynamics across the continent and of course the security dynamics in ukraine. french president emmanuel macron called this emergency meeting that will take place at paris' palace this afternoon he is going to meet with the leaders of u.k., germany, italy, poland spain, netherlands and denmark the president of the european council. the president on the european commission and the secretary general of nato. going to tackle thousand respond to the fast moving pace of the trump administration which came as a shock to many of these european leaders. washington's shifting policies and the trump's team's conversations with moscow. of the focus will center on bolstered defense spending efforts and big question of sending troops to ukraine after a cease-fire. british prime minister in an op-ed today said president trump is right to demand increased european security and for the first time he indicated that the u.k. could send british peace keeping troops to ukraine. he wrote this in part: quote:
3:09 am
while european nations must step up in this moment and we will, u.s. support will remain critical and u.s. security guarantee is essential for lasting peace because only the u.s. can deter putin from attacking again. so, we are not expected to see any concrete decisions come out of today's meeting. but we are expecting to see a major show of solidarity in this changing political climate here in europe. guys, back to you. >> steve: al lengths, really als is about european leaders are horrified he got on the horn trump wants the war toned. they apt place at the table. eh, we are not at the table. this is going to be their own meeting they're holding today. we know other meetings will likely follow this meeting with other countries that will be involved. a big point they are going to make they want to ensure that ukraine will also have a place
3:10 am
at that negotiation table. >> steve: right. >> as you mentioned, the big point here, they want to be a part of those negotiations as well. >> steve: all eyes on me. all eyes on me. alex, thank you very much. a live report from our london bureau. >> lawrence: the freakout has been astonishing to me. for years, they have not been -- we all believe that putin is the bad guy. but he's a part of this negotiation. and no one has been talking with the man. you got the president finally saying okay, we got to have a conversation. if we want the war to end, everybody has going to have to give a little bit. i don't think and i think the president indicated this, yesterday, on the tarmac as well. i'm not excluding zelenskyy from the conversation. but, at first, we have to get the aggressor to the anegotiating table. i think that's what him and his entire foreign policy team is doing right now. >> kayleigh: consternation american ally clearly emergency meeting. i understand, trump is a disruptedder. people don't like the status quo disrupted. i get that. that's a human
3:11 am
emotion that is real. the difference is you had a four year experiment with president trump. >> steve: that's right. >> kayleigh: guess what? russian did not invade a sovereign country tribune. >> guess what? hamas did not wage october 7th. and guess what? afghanistan did not fall to the hands of the taliban. you know under four years of president trump the national security, world security status quo was a much safer place. so, the freakout that you are mentioning, i don't understand it when you have a four year experiment with this man from your years ago. >> steve: you got to figure that a lot of what he is doing right now is he's negotiating in public. because when during the first term, as you know, you were part of the administration, trump wanted everybody to pay 2% of their gross domestic product to finance nato. a lot of them didn't. and still don't. now, he is talking about okay. forget about 2%. i want 5%. he would be happy with 3% or 4%. that's part of it. also, just the fact that
3:12 am
suddenly, out of nowhere. you got the u.k. prime minister talking about we'll send troops. the united states made it very clear. and donald trump will never send troops over there. but it's like europe has got to show we have got some skin in the game. so, you know, forget -- yeah, the united states has got all that money, although. >> kayleigh: pay up. hit the 5%. >> steve: that's right. they are saying we can make up the difference by putting boots on the ground. that's not going to happen with us. but, again then again, they are negotiating with donald trump who is a negotiator. >> lawrence: other story in the news right now is mayor eric adams. and apparently, there is a meltdown over him working with the trump administration. something he tried to do with the biden administration about getting the illegals that are criminals. we're just talking about criminals right now out of the country arrested. >> but they're saying that this was a deal made in private so he
3:13 am
didn't have to face charges. let's watch the freakout. >> this is outrageous violation of the rules of prosecutors. it is an outright extortion. >> they have literally taken the mayor of new york city and they have turned him into their own political pawn. >> as you look at what happened last week a week ago we were on the couch. we didn't see until later in the day or tuesday that the department of justice, the acting deputy attorney general told the department of justice to drop the charges. and then five, six, seven, eight people from the doj and the u.s. attorney acting for the southern district of new york, they all resigned. they said you are asking us to essentially do your dirty work because what they have suggested and what they wrote is drop the charges because we need eric adams to help us with the migration problem in new york
3:14 am
city. also thereson afternoon election coming up and it would be disruptive. next thing you know, he announces that they are going to reopen the ice office at rikers and people are going okay. so what happened here was behind the scenes i will help you with the migration problem in new york but you got to drop the charges. he was actually on this couch on friday he said it was not quid pro quo, watch. >> think about my attorney alex, one of the top trial attorneys in the country the only way mayor adams is going to assist in -- i was calling for since 2022 is if you drop the charges. that's quid pro quo. that's a crime. it took three weeks to report in front of her a criminal action? come on, this is silly.
3:15 am
>> kayleigh: that makes a lot of sense to me. who doesn't make sense is amy klobuchar he is a political pawn eric adams. >> thinking to myself it is a plenary power of the federal government to control immigration. that means they have sole control pretty much over immigration and nationality. we have the immigration and nationality act. it's a lot of pages. for him to work with the federal government on a mayor on a issue that is within the federal government a political pawn no noe somebody abiding by the the orders that our founders intended. i love the plain-speaking of tom homan. tom homan was pushed on this six or seven times on cnn. here is no nonsense tom homan listen to. this only thing probably 8, 9 weeks ago we met and we had the same discussion. and we talked about about getting a presence in rikers
3:16 am
island and missing children can't be found after released to sponsors. we had this a couple months ago long before this other discussion. i didn't have anything to do with it. meeting went well same meeting we had a few weeks ago. >> lawrence: i guess my real issue i know pundits and people in the media are going to speak about the deal, whatever where do you think the american people are going to stand on their right here. the mayor helping the administration get rid of the criminals. there were people in the bronx, new york, not like a white neighborhood. those are immigrants. those are many black, latino folks, cheering tom homan as well as the dhs secretary as they were getting the criminals out of their neighborhood. and so just another common sense issue right here. i know you guys want to talk about targeting political opponents and what deal, but the american people, they only think about their reality in their community. they feel unsafe because there's criminal aliens that are within their communities. and a mayor that's fighting with this administration to get that
3:17 am
resolved? they're going to cheer that on. >> steve: you know, when he was here, he said look, because we said why are you suddenly working with ice? he said i worked with them before. i went as far as i could, as far as the lou would allow me to because we are in sanctuary city here in new york city. his hands were tied. the thing about him. and we don't know know what went on behind the scenes we do know apparently right after trump was elected and it's clear that he was going to be the new sheriff in town, eric adams' lawyers according it the "new york times" went and talked to trump's lawyers at the white house and said, hey, listen, he wants a pardon. and so, nothing was decided. about a week or so later, officials from the white house called and said hey, we would like to talk about dropping the charges. we don't know what those conversations were like but
3:18 am
peopler are connecting the dots. ultimately, what it comes down to is they need cooperation, maybe eric adams realized, do you know what? i have been messing it up. i should have helped ice before, this town would be less dangerous and now he says that he's going to do more. >> maybe. and let me connect some dots. maybe, just maybe, the wake-up call for mayor adams was jose ibarra arrested in the city on child endangerment charges, gets humanitarian flight on our dime to go kill laken riley in georgia. maybe that was the wake-up call. can you connect all the dots you want. the dots i'm connecting are the heinous reality on the ground for new yorkers when it comes to immigration. >> lawrence: i don't understand is reporting on this because the mayor never needed a pardon. this is something i said on the couch before. the charges have been brought
3:19 am
but never adjudicated yet. so, the reporting that says that he was seeking a pardon in the white house, he didn't need it. i just needed the charges to be dropped before he even went to trial. so, again, this is going to play out for the public so see. i still contend that the american people want the criminals out of the country right now. >> steve: sure. here is where he starchtedz and the fact that the pred cats for dismissing the cases were he has got to help us with the migration problem here in new york city. it makes his election complicated. they didn't say -- they didn't base it on whether or not he was innocent. but they did say we can refile charges after the election and that's in june you got to figure if he does not deliver henning with the migration problem, there's a real good possibility that could happen. you know how to works car.
3:20 am
>> kayleigh: it's not over until the fat lady sings or the doj. someone who doesn't need a pardon is carley shimkus. >> carley: thank you very much. nine people in kentucky including a child are dead after powerful storms and flooding tore through the state. governor andy beshear saying at least 1,000 water rescues were made throughout the weekend. storms also impacting tennessee where the floodwaters were enough to overpower a levee, entire town, hundreds of floods in the area are city considered impassable as of this morning. on to a fox news alert. secretary of state marco rubio arriving in saudi arabia overnight for peace talks with russian officials. rubio leading a group of president trump's advisers which also includes nsa michael waltz and special envoy to the middle east steve witkoff, the two sides reportedly set to meet at some point tomorrow.
3:21 am
according to multiple reports, ukrainian officials were not invited to the talks. senate democrats are burned 325 hours, nearly two full weeks since january by delaying the confirmations of president trump's cabinet nominees. and this week in a rare move, democrats will require the upper chamber to take a procedural vote just to take another procedural vote to eventually confirm trump's pick for fbi director kash patel. so far the senate has confirmed 16 of trump's cabinet selections. and senator rand paul is inviting doge leader musk to fort knox to review one of the largest u.s. gold reserves after the senator revealed that the supply isn't been checked on a yearly basis no. word on the last time the vault has been audited we know it carries an estimated $425 billion worth of gold. that sound like fun to check.
3:22 am
we will ask senator paul about the efforts when he joins us later this morning. and those are your headlines, guys, over to you. you buy a lot of shoes with all that gold. >> kayleigh: that is a great story. steve munich was the last one to check on that gold at fort knox. seems like a worthwhile endeavor. >> steve: that backs the financial stability of our economy. imagine if there's a$100 million worth of it missing? >> steve: maybe we don't want to know. just a start. yeah we should probably know how much is in there. >> lawrence: democrats are trying to use the courts to fight trump's agenda. their attempt to take on doge, that's next [sofi mnemonic] can a personal loan unlock your ambitions? oh yeah. consolidate bad debt and save money for your next goal.

3:27 am
>> kayleigh: a federal jing will hearing arguments after 14 states asks to block elon musk's doge from accessing federal data. now, one of the latest attempts from democrats to fight president trump's agenda in court. >> we're winning in court. more than a dozen federal injunctions and temporary restraining orders have been issued against everything from their illegal seizure of computer data and every
3:28 am
americans' private data at the treasury department to their illegal attempt to ban birthright citizenship. >> number one, you know the constitution. you know they can't just freeze these funds. >> i'm going to continue to work together in an all hands on deck effort to push back against the far right extremism this is, unleashed on this country. gregg jarrett joins we now. i message meengeg quite extraordinary in the hyperbole. even though justice system designed to prevent the abuses of 18th century monarch, the instruments of unchecked power are no less dangerous in the hands of a 21st century tech barron? so they are comparing this to british colonialism. >> you know, the meltdown as steve described it, kayleigh is
3:29 am
amusing because presidents have broad authority under article 2 of the constitution to govern and control agencies and departments in the executive branch. how much money is how much money is spent hiring auditing fraud, waste and abuse. so trump is exercising a core responsibility. serving the public's interest. that's his solemn duty. delegate that power to musk and doge democrats have sued say oh you can't do that he wasn't senate confirmed under the appointments cause that's nonsense. a large body of law that says the president absolutely can, on his own, without the senate confer administrative powers to others like domg, these early setbacks in various lower courts, that was expected. trump knew that, you know, liberals would go iewning and crying to favorable judges.
3:30 am
gee-whiz stopping our fraud and waste. we want that to continue. ultimately, i think the supreme court will weigh in and that's where trump will prevail the law is on his side j so you believe if it does make it to the supreme court, conservative originalist judges like thomas alito nonsense. no need to get congressional approval forever doge? >> yeah. the law is on their side. plus, when you are serving in the public interest and the public is in favor of it. i mean, that's something that i think the supreme court recognizes. steve mentioned it, cbs poll found 70% agree that the president is doing what he promised. a majority of approve of it. the key part of his mandate. democrats are i can 'king the wrong battle comma what person wants to continue billions of taxpayer dollars taxpayer waste
3:31 am
and fraud. they are so reelectionively against anything trump does their lawsuits make them look like they favor financial abuse. with doge and musk has uncovered so far is, really shocking americans. 20% of government spending is wasted billions in miss placed funds. americans, i think are fed up with this. and trump is moving in their direction. the supreme court, i think, is not oblivious to that. >> kayleigh: speaking of the supreme court. we finally have the first case they'll hear. this happened overnight. and here's what happened. so trump is asking the supreme court to allow him to fire this independent agency leader. he is at the office of special counsel, his name is hampton del jerry. and the argument no court in american history has wielded an injunction to force the president to retain an agency head. are you bullish on his prospects with scot can you say on this
3:32 am
one? >> again. the law is on the president's side. del jerry they can be fired by the incoming president. they don't have civil service protections which, by the way have a myriad of exceptions associated with them. look, our federal bureaucracy, kayleigh is the definition of bloated. isn't it about time that a president had the courage to put the government on ozempic diet? there are too many inept bureaucrats doing too little excessive, inefficient. no business could run that way. and cutting last friday 400 dhs workers. my booedness, that's a saving of $50 million and trimming all these other swollen agencies. that's going to save billion dollars of dollars. legally trump has immense

traditions, the family, stuff like that. it's time to take a stand, right? guiding idea of all individual responsibility that's not voluntarily shouldered will be taken up by tie rents and used against you. so arc is a reminder to people so to speak responsible role to play in their own governance and necessary role. they have responsibilities to themselves or wife or husband, to their family, to their town, to their state, and that has to be shouldered. that's the eternal alternative to tyranny and slavery. venture of life for people to make that message clear and distribute it as widely as possible. to say unite conservatives and classic liberals around the world on that basis people
3:42 am
watching right now, what should they be thinking about? >> well, one of the things they should be thinking about is whether they are adopting any civic responsibility. it's a big mistake to think that distant leaders will somehow solve your problems. first of all, they don't even know what your problems are second, you have no idea, especially if they are particularly distant, whether they care about your problems. and so you might say well, what can i do about that? the answer is well, you can get it politically at every level. every political organization is always crying out for volunteers and for people who will do what they say they will do. there is endless opportunity there, and every citizen who wants to be free, has to play a role in their own governance that could be running for the school board or participating in a local club. some degree of direct civic engagement.

and service with regard to marriage and family. and all of that responsibility, that's part of the identity that people are searching for. we're lost in the west because our identities are become very inward looking and self-inward. you find your true identity and service to others. service to the future and to others. that's a theme of a arc as well. the theme of [no audible response.ibility. >> steve: sounds like what you are telling people to do while society is changing, we all need to look at our own situations, realize what is important to us and our families and defend the good stuff. i would say i'm not telling people to do it. i'm inviting them to understand that's in their best interest and isn't anything more exciting than they could do if you missing purpose in your life. if you are aimless and wandering and lost and bitter and
3:44 am
resentful. the way out of that is through service and to other people. best way of providing service to yourself that's time what would you say? time tested wisdom. and it's part of the conservative ethos. but also the bedrock on which individual his sick rests the fame work in which it maintains its validity. it's good for everyone. good four and society to shoulder your responsibility and wander uphill. >> indeed. words of business dom. all right, dr. jordan peterson joining us from london at the big conference. thank you very much have. great day that, for the envision station. green berets are training mexican marines to fend off the cartel to defend the. if the mexico is finally ready to step up.

very similar. >> lawrence: the big question, scott, what are they going to be doing on the day-to-day basis? are they going to be patrolling with them or just strictly training? >> i think what you're probably going to see is training, you know, think about it this way, for example, the mexican marines, pretty capable unit. but what they're going to do is just going to enhance their capacity. what this is really about is just one instrument of power that we have in the united states, we're good at taking down networks. you see surge strikes happening all the time like what you see in the middle east a lot in the global war on terror. what you don't see is the long game when you can build partner capacity from the bottom up by, with, and through. i think that's a much more effective approach over the long term. if your partner can pick up the slack from the south and push to the north, that can have a really big impact. it's not the silver bullet. it's going to be a lot of just basic and advanced training on the things it takes to take down a terror network or a threat network.

and these guys are really good at it. >> lawrence: scott, do you worry about the corruption within the next can marines? that is a factor here. i know i have dealt with that with darius groups as well when they try to have insurgents and try to do training. there is always that chance that there could be a terrorist cell embedded within the group that they're training. >> look, there is two things, lawrence, i worry about with this kind of work always. and you have to, one, what you brought up, is the corruption, there is always the chance that some of these folks could go off and become even more rogue actors and take that training and put it to use us. we have seen it happen. in terms of the pay off for capacity building we have to do this. the gain is better. the other thing i worry about are the bad actors already in the united states right now four years of open borders. we have got to continue a full-court press. al-qaeda and isis are here. we cannot forget that. >> lawrence: let's actually talk about those bad actors because tom homan had a message for the
3:53 am
mexican cartel and them being terrorists, watch. >> they have killed thousands of journalists in law enforcement in mexico. killed thousands of citizens, they're acting like a terrorist organization. killed more americans than any terrorist organizations. president trump did the right thing designating a tears organization. we will bring the weight of the world on them. >> lawrence: weight of the world on them. is that the right response, scott? >> it is. i think we have to think of the cartels as a terrorist organization. what i would suggest is that we don't forget that al-qaeda and isis also designated terrorist organizations who, by the way. i think have a stronger will to harm us in mass casualty type events like you saw on october 7th. so while the cartels are a dangerous organization and should be treated as the terrorists and dismantled. we cannot forget the groups like al-qaeda and isis who have a mui century narrative to wipe us off the face of the earth. they will not stop until they succeed or dismantled.
