"fox & friends" starts right now. ♪

>> lawrence: all right. the gang is back together. it's 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. it's tuesday, february the 18th. this is "fox & friends." we begin with a fox news alert. an investigation is underway into toronto after a delta flight from minute coat carrying 80 people crashed and flipped upside down on the runway. we're live from the scene. >> ainsley: plus, doge derangement, elon musk opening up about the backlash he is facing from democrats now as saving taxpayer money apparently upsets them. >> i used to be adored by the left. >> not anymore. >> called trump derangement syndrome. you don't realize how real this is until you can't reason with people. >> brian: i cannot wait for that interview. could eric adams soon be out of a job? new york governor kathy hochul in an emergency meeting right in manhattan today to discuss his future after more deputy mayors resign.

>> steve: man o man. "fox & friends" for a tease sttuesdaystarts right now. and we start with that breaking news out of toronto. you saw it yesterday afternoon. investigators are working to determine what caused that delta connection flight from minneapolis to toronto to crash and flip upside down catching on fire as it was landing. >> ainsley: nate foy is at the toronto airport with more. good morning to you, nate. >> nate: hey, guys, good morning. it was some visual. and early indications are this could have been a lot worse. we know 80 people on board. officials say right now they know of 18 people who are injured. those injuries range from minor to serious. but the important thing is that none of them are considered life-threatening. take a look at this video. you mentioned the flight took off from minneapolis. it came down here in toronto. it was operated by endeavor, a subsidiary of delta. we know the transportation safety board of canada is going to lead the investigation.

the faa also is going to be at the crash site. once the plane crashed, officials here say it was a textbook emergency response. firefighters put out flames on the runway and the cabin crew evacuated passengers with the plane flipped over. we just landed. our plane crashed. it's upside down. the fire department is on site. most people appear to be okay. >> crazy stuff. there were strong wind gusts at the time of the crash. but the fire chief in charge of the toronto airport says that there were no cross wind conditions and that the runway was dry. you see it was also covered in snow. but he says that the runway was dry. so we will see what investigators say with an update expected later today. we do know the plane involved

crj 900 regional canadian jet. same family of as the one reagan national airport in mid january. this is the fourth plane crash in north america over the past month. again, we are expecting an update from officials. we don't know exactly when that will council today. but you can bet there will be a lot of questions about the conditions of the runway and any early indications as to what caused this plane to crash on the runway. >> brian: i don't know what you can see, they say the wing is broken off? i mean, can you see what's left of the plane? >> we can't see the plane from where we are right now at 8:00 a.m. we're told that we are going to be moved to an area closer to the runway where that plane went down, brian. but you can see from the videos on social media that one of the wing of the aircraft is detached. so, we can't see it right now but hopefully we will get a

closer look in a couple hours. >> steve: we are looking at video right now, nate, where the wing is sheared off. i think the thinking right now is that it landed on its wheels and then for some reason and maybe the wing touched the ground it sparked it, burst into flames and then it lurched and then it sheared off the wing and then it flipped over, right? >> yeah. i mean, these are the things that investigators will be working to figure out. and these investigations take quite some time. but what you can see from that video is obviously a very chaotic situation. and you see the video of the firefighters putting flames out on the runway. and it's such a dangerous moment. even after, you know, the fuselage is still intact. they have landed belly up. but they still need to get those people off the plane quite quickly and things could still turn south. so as officials really highlighted last night. this was a textbook emergency

response. >> steve: look at that fire. >> able to get people off the aircraft. we just played one of those videos as they got off the aircraft which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do got to get away from the aircraft as quickly as possible. thank goodness officials are saying that none of the injuries are considered life-threatening. >> nate, i know 18 people were injured, 08 people total that were evacuated. i'm imagine going they are in their seat belts they are flipped upside down. you take that seat belt off, you are going to fall down. what about the moms that might have had babies in their laps. have you heard anything about the injuries how serious they were? >> nate: speaking of babies, we don't know the exact age but we do know there is one pediatric patient that was taken to the hospital. early reports were that there were three people in critical condition. and then airport officials later said they were not aware of people being in critical condition. they didn't specifically rule it

out. so that's something that we're going to try to get some clarity on today whenever they do decide to speak to us. but, we know the initial reports was a middle-aged man and woman and then a pediatric patient that were taken to the hospital with those serious injuries. >> brian: i have never seen you so cold. >> ainsley: 10 degrees cold there. >> brian: understand it. >> like negative 10 here. >> steve: thank you very much, nate. so, can you imagine? you realize the plane has finally come to a halt. you are hanging from -- you are in your seat but you are upside down, and you realize the plane is on fire and you smell jet fuel. you see jet fuel running down the side of the plane. and this is why and, do you know what? they practice this all the time, the flight attendants are really good, okay, we're going to tell you about an evacuation. yesterday it was textbook and wasn't just the flight crew but

also the other passengers they were helping unsnap everybody from the top of the plane so that everybody could get off. >> lawrence: like a pass jerps worst nightmare. something out of a movie. i just wonder if they are going to eventually have video of exactly -- since it was on the runway and slid off the runway will there be some video of what transpired? we are seeing what happened after. i want to see exactly what happened. >> brian: i can't imagine we're not going to see the video. >> ainsley: important why you have to wear your seat belt take off and landing. >> steve: if you have got a baby, this is the problem. you need a car seat for a baby even on an airplane. because it sounds like the baby was on the mother's lap. and as we have heard flight attendants say, you know, if the event of some sort of evacuation, the baby can just shoot right out of your arms. >> ainsley: definitely thinking differently after the last few weeks of crashes, when we used to fly with hayden she was always in my lap. then we would have to buy three seats so we could all sit together?

>> brian: $55 billion, that's how much money doge says it saved american taxpayers already. it's on the facebook page. they are not done yet. >> lawrence: it's incredible. madeleine rivera has the latest on the cost cutting effort from washington. good morning, maddy. >> madeleine: doge in one of its latest efforts is focusing on the treasury department says many payments missing a tracking code. doge says the absence of that tracking code made it almost impossible to trace nearly $5 trillion in treasury payments. now, that tracking code is required, which doge says should bring more insight into where the money is going. doge's work could soon be expanding as fox is told integrated data retrieval system is imminent. democrats are sounding the alarm, one congressman is calling the move a power grab. the system in question contains sensitive text information. career irs employees have access to it and used it for their jobs on a daily basis. so the backlash here is about doge specifically accessing that

system. but political appointees are federal employees with privileges similar to other federal workers and the white house maintains everyone from doge nearly sensitive or classified information has appropriate clearance and approval to do so. also happening today a federal judge is expected to issue a major rolg ruling on whether doge has the authority to access federal data and fire fire workers. 14 states attorney general's accuse elon musk illegal executive overreach and they want to block musk from accessing data and firing employees at seven federal agencies. but, in a hearing yesterday, u.s. district judge tonya chutkan seemed skeptic of the a.g.'s arguments saying the states haven't shown evidence of eminent harm. part of that has to do with the unpredictable way doge is operating making it hard to figure out what doge will do or not do next. lawrence, steve, ainsley and brian. >> steve: madeleine, you starlighted with $4.7 trillion. essentially untraceable.

we don't know why they never said what account it was going to or where it came from this came came from here and went there. >> madeleine: exactly. that's the hope. that's part of what doge is trying to do. that's why they say they are doing what they're doing right now. they say part of the problem is that there is a lack of trainers over here. you can't figure out what certain payments are doing. this is part of cost-cutting effort or rather what their efforts are to trim waste and fat as they say. we will see whether or not now that that change has been made with certain payments, we'll see what efforts -- >> ainsley: what about doge worworking with social security. elon said if you look at the checks going out to people. millions in database listed between 100 and 159 years old. obviously people aren't living to be 159. why are they still getting -- why are they still in the system? >> madeleine: yeah. exactly. that's one of the questions here. that's one of the problems. all of that will be part of the

efforts that doge will be undertaking here. certainly, look, there's a question over here, right? the mandate that the trump administration has been saying for the past several months now is that for the past several weeks now is that they have a responsibility to be a responsible guardian of taxpayer money and so this is part of the effort that they are trying to do here, guys. >> brian: thanks so much, maddy. we have to cut trillions out of the budget. at least 2 trillion-dollar. we are already over budget $864 billion right now. we are only, in february, so this is going to be over 2 trillion that we're overdrawn. then, you fact were to in the rise in interest rates. so we owe interest on this debt. this is not a choice. this isn't like wouldn't it be good to reign the deficit in? this is a necessity or else our lifestyle as we know it is done. what you were saying on social security. looking at education, social security, he is also looking at the treasury. 20 million are listed 100 and

higher. including more than 3.9 million between 1 # 0 and 139 years old. there is 364 million checks going out to social security recipients. that's more than we have americans. what are you talking about? how could this not be a five alarm fire? >> lawrence: doesn't it grind your gears that you they are protesting going through this you think about your parents. i know my parents every penny mattered every single one. turning it over to the people. they don't care at all. your parents make sacrifices so you can make it somewhere and then we pay all this money in taxes. and there has been zero interest to get this under control and to -- and now they are fighting elon musk and the president for just having accountability? >> steve: sure, well, here's the thing. when madeleine was talking about the $4.7 trillion that essentially is untraceable

ainsley talking about 130 million people in the database it. goes to show you how ant quaked and stupid the bookkeeping is that's why he is going in there you know, there's even one person in the data base at social security who is over 360 years old. none of them are getting checks. in fact, on the website. it says for social security it says at the age of 115, they stop getting checks. and they have been doing that for 10 years. but it just goes to the point that the archaic american system with payments and stuff like that. needs to have a bright light shined on it. and it is shining right now. >> ainsley: just common sense. >> lawrence: that's right. >> ainsley: sean hannity has the first exclusive interview with the doge leader elon musk and our president, donald trump. he went to the white house last friday. it's going to air tonight during sean's show at 9:00. everyone will be watching. here is a sneak peek what you will see tonight. this is elon talking about what he realized that trump

derailment syndrome was real. >> now you are going to rescue astronauts. i would think liberals would love the fact you have the biggest electric vehicle company in the world. >> yeah. i used to be adored by the left. >> not anymore. >> bret: you killed that? >> i really did. >> it's this -- they call it like trump derangement syndrome, you don't realize how real this is until you can't reason with people. i was at a friend's birthday party, just a birthday dinner, like a nice, quiet dinner. and everyone was behaving normally i happened to mention this was a month before the election. a month or two before i mentioned the president's name. they got shot in the jugular methamphetamine and rabies. what is wrong? guys, you can't have like a normal conversation.

and it's like they become completely irrational. >> lawrence: i cannot wait to watch this. it's going to be at 9:00 p.m. eastern on sean hannity's show. elon musk is a visual representation of all of the people that the democratic party has lost. he was on their side. they lost him. they lost joe rogan. think about all the black voters and hispanic voters and guys and all the folk, the young people a part of the democratic coalition. but as ainsley continues to say and the president coined this phrase of common sense, that's just -- they just lost complete common sense and instead of correcting their way, they doubled down and push elon even further away. >> steve: right. you know, when elon musk says the left used to love me, that's exactly what they did. that's what donald trump used to say when he lived here in new york city. >> lawrence: that's true. >> steve: democrats, everybody loves me when he was in show business and stuff like that. then when he started running for president as a republican. wait a minute. >> ainsley: look what is happening to mayor adams.

>> brian: the last thing before we go to mayor adams because this is huge and relates to donald trump. for people to say that elon musk cannot be trusted in the treasure or social security irs. he has got the highest level security clearance number one. launched paypal. everybody's private security. do you really think he's going to the irs to find mr. and mrs. johnson from oregon's home address and credit rating? i mean, it is a bizarre attack. but, as we are talking about the cover on the "new york post" today, fall from gracey. so you have mayor adams losing four deputy mayors today who are resigning. they said it was hard enough working for an indicted mayor. now they believe is he compromised because he is allowing tom homan to have at it to a degree when it comes to illegal immigrants. and they believe that he is not going to be indicted now and get away from it rather than looking at this case so he looks like today casey hochul one of the

worst governors in the country. total mistake. brought in by governor cuomo to try to seal up buffalo area, northern part of new york state and even though we didn't even need it and now she is governor. now she is going to meet in manhattan today with some higher ups to see about removing a mayor. an elected mayor for the first time in 230 plus years in new york. >> lawrence: i don't understand democrats in new york city violent offenders on the street raping people, murdering them, assaulting people. she didn't remove any of those das. now she wants to remove the mayor from working with the president of the united states to keep the city safe. talk about priorities here. >> steve: right. because, and we had the mayor on our show on friday. and, you know, her side is talking about there was a quid pro quo going on because the charges of corruption were dropped against him because that way he could cooperate with this

republican administration that's why everybody's hair is on fire here in new york city. what is interesting about this 10:00 meeting having in her office here in manhattan, is that one of the people invited is al sharpton. al sharpton is blaming the current situation, this is delicious, on donald trump. >> ainsley: if is he removed. if she removes him and she has the power to do it. it's never been used before but she could do it. she would be overturning the will of the voters. that's a serious -- the voters wanted him to be the mayor. if he does leave before his term ends, germane williams would temporarily become the mayor. because the election is this -- gentleman manny? this november. you say he is extremely liberal. >> brian: he is way to the left. de blasio. >> ainsley: why would he take over? kathy hochul would appoint him

public advocate. i don't know what kind of system new york has. kathy hochul says i recognize the immense responsibility i hold as governor and constitutional powers granted to this office in the 235 years of new york their powers have never been utilized to remove a duly elected mayor overturning the will of voters is a serious step that should not be taken lightly. so you are going to be taking it? by the way if president trump, you know, you want that congestion pricing? you want all this other crap that's going on in new york city in the president wants to get rid of bike lanes, get rid of congestion pricing. he is saying don't do it. elise stefanik is going to be delayed until september. she is beginning to pull that back. that was hakeem jeffries idea. so president trump could pick up the phone and say you get rid of eric adams and all hell is going to break loose in your city. >> lawrence: i don't understand why the democrats hate democracy. we heard throughout the presidential race democracy, democracy. there is an election coming up. if there is any type of corruption, let the voters

decide. >> steve: that's why i think, lawrence it's a couple months before he loses his office anyway. today they will come out and she will condemn him and not do anything. it's this constant drumbeat for the primary voters around there aren't that many here in new york city when it rolls around every couple of years. they are going to be reading all this stuff. and it's like oh we can't reelect that guy. go back to cuomo. look for andrew cuomo to be the next mayor of new york city. >> lawrence: that's going to go so well. >> ainsley: we were interviewing the mayor and tom homan last friday. if you missed it, here's a clip. >> she has her role. i have my role. and throughout this entire ordeal, which i think no american should have to go through the torment of 15 months that my family and i had to do for something i didn't do. i didn't do anything wrong. throughout the entire ordeal i said one thing. my attorney will handle the legal part. i'm going to handle running the city. we returned jobs to our city. our city is getting safer.

we are building housing. i think this is great american narrative i stood focused on what i was elected to do. >> brian: are you running for reelections? >> yes. >> are you considering running as a republican. >> i'm going to run on the democratic line. we petition started soon running as a democrat. there is many democrats like 78% believe what ice is doing about getting dangerous people out. i think we have to get people out to vote. that is the problem. >> brian: the mayor also has gotten -- very fair to the trumps after de blasio painted things in the street. took rink away. made him sell the golf course he came in and said i have nothing against these people. i know eric in particular because he is running the organization i appreciate it. i don't want any favors. just don't target me. i think that helped those two talk trump and appearance of

targeting from the department of justice. i don't know all the facts of this case. i think that could have been litigated it. could have been litigated and back and forth about what took place with these flights and all of that the appearance of him being the co-chair of biden's campaign at the time, all of a sudden he starts criticizing the administration. and then there's an investigation open up, seizing his phone targeting all these people. that doesn't look good for the department of justice. average day americans are sick of the appearance of targeting political opponents. >> i'm getting close. getting close to going double breasted. that's how good he looks. >> ainsley: did you see cowboy boots? >> steve: steve, too. it's texas tuesday i'm wearing my daises. every tuesday. >> ainsley: i need to remember. i have a lot going on. >> lawrence: you are the mom. >> brian: boots in the stable

every day. >> lawrence: do you know who doesn't though carley shimkus. >> brian: doesn't need boots. >> ainsley: do you have a pair of cowboy boots? dar car did not leave her boots in the stable. >> ainsley: do you have a pair of cowboy boots? >> i need solid legitimate pair. >> steve: i know a guy. >> brian: hard to keep up with you. how could you have -- wear heels that high? >> carley: let's shop in the commercial break, shall we? >> brian: wow, okay. shut us down. >> carley: we have a fox news alert to get. to say starting with. this right now trump administration officials are in saudi arabia meeting with russian officials as they embark on bringing an end to the war in ukraine. secretary of state marco rubio is leading the u.s. delegation involved in the meeting. no ukrainian officials are present. dea and dhs agents arresting more than a dozen migrants in salt lake city. officials say of the 13

migration arrested, four of them are confirmed members of tren de aragua. the migrants have been handed over to ice for deportation proceedings. dhs secretary kristi noem praising the trump administration immigration crack down. >> we are talking less than a couple hundred people that we're encountering a day when it was literally over 10 or 11,000 under joe biden. it's been remarkable just what president trump has been able to accomplish in these first few weeks of his administration. >> carley: nome also announcing a dhs national ad campaign warning illegal immigrants to leave the united states voluntarily deport themselves. the top official at the social security administration reportedly stepped down from her position after a supposed clash with doge employees over access to certain data. michelle king had been serving as acting commissioner of the agency at the time of her apparent dispute. the doge employees were reportedly looking for access to an internal data system which

may have included personal information of millions of americans. those are your headlines, brian, i apologize for cutting you off during the shoe discussion. >> brian: that's the way it is. >> carley: it was weighing heavily on my mind. >> steve: we were talking about eric adams and he is talking about double breasted suits. he is a handsome man with a double breasted blazer. >> lawrence: did you miss me. >> brian: it's very striking. >> steve: a judge set to rule on a key court case today regarding doge. doge details coming up. ♪

>> brian: doge's audit of the irs is imminent. fox news has learned the department of government efficiency will soon have access to taxpayer information allowing them slash waste in the agency and we will get the official ruling from a federal judge today on their authority to access data and fire federal employees after appearing poised to side with doge. here to react, fox news legal analyst, legal editor kerri urbahn. carrie, we are going to find out now if you feel as though that doge can have access to the irs system. so, if the head of doge has a high security clearance.

>> people get individual clearances. one thing that i think has been strange over this whole conversation around doge the last couple weeks is the idea that you need security clearance to access tax information and social security. you don't unless that social security number is attached to information. doge employees accessing sensitive information have the appropriate training and clearances. so that should really be a nonissue at this point. in addition to the fact, brian. that doge employees are federal government employees. and not only have same access but more. they were elected by the people we the president and the election. a lot of what we are seeing over the last few weeks is just the media and certain lawmakers being disingenuous and i think exploiting the american people's lack of knowledge over how this

works political appointees are federal government employees like everyone else and therefore should be able to and permitted to do their job. if they aren't, it's like a usurpation of the democratic process. >> brian: i work for doge i can't look -- according to the democrats i can't look at the irs stuff. but if i work for the irs i can look at all your stuff. who are those people? i can't look at what the irs is looking at? it's crazy on surface. how can you reform something if you can't analyze something. president trump is going to appeal supreme court over the firing of u.s. agency boss as another federal judge rules against federal employees who sued the trump administration over privacy and security concerns around a government workforce email distribution system. so, essentially, the president has got to argue and defend that he could fire somebody that he doesn't want around. >> i really like this case. this is one to watch. because it's going to set the tone for a lot of these firings. and, very simple explanation is

that the trump administration recently fired the head of the office of special counsel, that's not like jack smith special counsel. this is the ethics chief, basically. they look into hatch act violations and the like. this person in response, skipped the normal process and went right to the courts and asked for a judge to unilaterally intervene and restore him to his job. now, brian, it's not even clear that a judge has the authority to restore someone to their job in a situation like this. but, the trump administration lost at the federal appellate courts now they are asking the u.s. supreme court to take a look at it. the reason this is especially interesting, is because what people are making a lot of is the statutory language that says this individual, people in this category can only be removed for inefficiency, malfeasance, and a couple of other things. and, however, what is being ignored is that the supreme court has said twice that singular directive, directors of executive agencies, limiting

what the president can do in terms of hiring or firing them, is not constitutional. and that makes sense. because, think about it. why should a president be forced to retain someone who is the head of an agency that he or she doesn't want to retain? i mean,it's kind of messed up iu think about it. i'm really hoping the supreme court takes this one up and clarifies the power of the executive branch and their ability to let someone go who they think is not going to be in line with their duration's way administration'sway of doing th. >> brian: post office we don't need as many people as we used to. before email. that was the only way to get in touch with people. now you have less of this. get this new division called crypto. crypto is going to staff up. you might have to take one one other to another. another government can function if you are not allowed to let people go or build up and slim down any agency. i wonder why all this pushback. get back to the area why this is

being done because we can't afford the government that we have. instead of targeting somebody from making the hard judgment because he is volunteering to do something he is an expert in. kerri, thank you so much for breaking do counsel i appreciate it? >> thank you. >> brian: still no answers after a delta jet crashed in toronto airport. there it flipped over. how do these accidents deepen happening. a former faa official weighs in next. ♪

sometimes these things do nap a well and it just is happen stance very safe system. >> ainsley: the airplane landed and flash of fire and then it starts to roll. what made it flip? just looking at the conditions. we are not going to know in the investigators dive into it and they look at the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder but it appears to me with the conditions it was snowy and icy runway. i don't know what the landing condition was right there at the beginning of the runway. generally that's always a little bit slippier than the place where they put on reverse thrusts and get on their brakes. but, with gusty conditions it is possible but very rare to get a severe gust right at touch down and for the pilot to correct from that gust, if the gust was

blowing them perhaps offer the runway. that airplane with the wings in the back of the fuselage, if you overcorrect and very close to the ground or in the flair, it's possible to dig the wing in. it could easily flip. it's a rare combination of weather and wind events but that's the likely culprit there. >> ainsley: it's amazing they all survived. shows you the importance of a seat belt even though some of them might have been injured when they took the seat belts off and fell down. 18 injuries. everyone is going to be okay. let's move on to doge. sean duffy wrote on x here's the truth. the faa alone has a staggering 45,000 employ employees. less than 400 were let go and they're all probationary. meaning they had been hired less than a year ago. zero air traffic controllers and critical safety personnel were

let go. how concerned are you about these folks losing their job? >> >> ainsley, i'm not concerned at all. and secretary duffy is exactly right. the same thing happens when we have the occasional government shutdown. we keep all of the critical safety employees, all the professionals that are responsible inspecting aircraft and checking out pilots and controlling aircraft. so letting go 400 probationary employees is going to have zero effect on safety in my opinion. >> ainsley: that's good news. thank you for waking up early, dan. >> you are welcome, ainsley. >> ainsley: iran's chilling information about program. we will tell what you it is. mike huckabee, how the u.s. needs to respond. ♪

>> steve: country of iran is lalashing out at the united stas and israel vowing to defend nuclear program after a meeting between secretary of state marco rubio and prime minister benjamin netanyahu a couple of days ago on sunday. an iranian official saying, quote: when it comes to a country like the islamic republic of iran, the response is clear: the u.s. cannot do a damn thing. you cannot threaten to destroy

on one hand and claim for dialogue and negotiations on the other u.s. ambassador to israel nominee and former arkansas governor mike huckabee joins us now. governor, almost ambassador, what do you make of what iran has to say about the united states? >> well, it's kind of funny they are even talking about that no one can do anything. israel pretty well destroyed a big punch of their military just last year. they are in a very weakened position. but they are also, you know, the bear that growls even when its claws have been taken away. i think we need to take iran seriously when it comes to why they want a nuclear weapon. they may pretend that it's for peaceful purposes. nobody who takes their brain to work believes that. anybody with iq above broccoli understands that the only reason the iranians want a nuclear weapon is because they want the military power that comes with it. not only to threaten but to actually harm. these are the people who have

consistently said we're going to destroy israel and then the united states is next. israel is the appetizer. the u.s. is the entree. and we never should forget that. >> indeed. all right. let's move on. once upon a time you ran the state government there in arkansas. and the department of education has cut over $600 million worth of funding for programs for divisive teacher training grants. we got a little snippet. it's of a state representative in the commonwealth of massachusetts. reading out of a particular anti- -- alleged anti-semitic children's book. listen to this, governor, and then i'm going to get your reaction when i was only 10 years old i had to flee my home in palestine a group of called zionists stole our land and hurt many people. the student is instructed take several action to help, including raising funds, and,

chanting at protests. >> steve: those bullies the zionists they read. >> those zionists have only been that land, given to them by god 3500 years ago. and it's just absurd. the schools should not be indoctrinating children into anti-semitism. it's a dangerous thing. what i hope is it's not just for jewish people to stand up. this is for every christian, every muslim, every hindu everyone of every faith including atheists should stand up and say this is blatant bigotry. we are not going to stand by and allow our jewish friends to be given this level of hate. it's destructive. and the fact that taxpayer dollars would be helping to fund it. that makes it even worse. >> steve: you know, you were named as the president's nominee to be the ambassador a while back. what's taken so long? why haven't you been confirmed yet, governor? >> well, i don't know if you have noticed this, steve, but in washington, things move not at

the speed of right but move at the speed of might. whenever somebody can gum up the works and slow it down that's what happens. i'm hoping it is soon. is there is a process we have to follow it. i respect that i hope it gets done soon. israel is at war. i think it's important to have the u.s. ambassador is in place even if it's not me. i hope it's soon. >> steve: over to carley with news about the pope. >> carley: update on pope francis'. the vatican will not take part in this weekend wants holly year event as he remains hospitalized in rome covering from illness. the 88-year-old has been in the hospital since this past friday. suffering from a respiratory infection. doctors say he will remain there as long as necessary. new overnight, a four alarm fire breaking out in an industrial

complex in pennsylvania. look at those flames. consuming nearly the entire property. the fire prompting closures to local school districts for the day officials say any business within a one mile radius should also remain closed until further notice. everyone made it out of the building safely and no injuries were reported. most important part there. and take a look at this shocking video from california. you are watching a 16-year-old who was rescued from a 500-foot deep mind shaft. according to call fire. the teen and his friend 40 feet the rope broke and the boy fell 30 feet back into that shaft taken to local trauma for injuries. thankfully they were able to get him out alive. >> steve: no kidding. shouldn't have been in there. >> carley: bingo. what his parents are probably saying this morning. carley, thank you very much.

>> carley: you are welcome. >> steve: play possum and do nothing. apparently that's the best advice for democrats as they cry about doge. that advice from a top democrat. ♪ and free standard shipping. start earning for free with mylowe's rewards today. join thousands of advertisers who have built their businesses, reaching america's most influential audience. need creative? we can help. fox news media impact starts here. advertise with us today. a chewy order is on the way for radar — who knows that sounds means... kibble... squeaky toy...
