>> brian: it's 8:00 on the coast, this is "fox and friends." new york governor kathy hochul holding an emergency meeting in manhattan today as democrats want her to remove mayor eric adams from office. >> ainsley: doge derangement. elon musk opens up about backlash he is receiving. >> i used to be anoticed by the left, not anymore. trump derange mment syndrome, y don't realize how real this is, you can't reason with people. >> steve: the whole interview tonight on the sean hannity show. and schools will enact something good, ban on cell phones and other devices in the classroom. could this set a nationwide precedence? i hope so. >> ainsley: me, too. >> lawrence: final hour of "fox

and friends" starts now. straight to fox news alert. new york governor kathy hochul will hold a meeting about new york city mayor eric adams's future. >> brian: cover of "new york post" reading fall from gracy, as four of adams top aides, deputy mayors, all resign. >> ainsley: alexis mcadams joins us with the latest. >> come ins as new york governor kathy hochuls she will meet this morning, we're told, with key leaders to discuss new york city mayor eric adams removal from office. they are looking at it in new york city. this comes as fellow democrats have been pushing to try to get adams out of their, including the city comptroller. the governor releasing this statement, i recognize immense responsibility i hold as

governor and constitutional power granted to this office. in 235 years of new york state history, the powers have never been utilized to remove a mayor. that is what kathy hochul is saying, cause to remove mayor adams are growing louder. this was yesterday in new york city. people had signs and were chanting. people say they want him gone. he is accused of making a deal with the justice department to drop his own criminal case if he would enforce immigration policies. you talked to adams and tom homan on "fox and friends" and he dee ni -- denied making any deal and said this prosecution is based on politics. she has her role, i have my role. throughout this entire ordeal, torment that my family and i had

to endure for something i did not do, i did not do anything wrong. i said my attorney will handle the legal part and i'll handle running the city. >> asked a judge to drop the charges, this comes as four deputy mayors say they are out of city hall and don't want to be part of this and top doj officials stepped down last week. who would take over? how would that play out? if adams is asked to resign, the public advocate williams would take over as acting mayor until a special election. yesterday mayor adams was pushing back against williams, you want me or you want this guy? >> brian: so there could be special election before the election, which is november? >> that is possible. >> lawrence: unbelievable.

wriek >> brian: that is crazy. >> williams has said for quite sometime that he was ready to take charge and get over there to city hall. adams, that is his big thing, he's been through so much in the past, his mom told him to push through. he says he will stick it out. we'll see what happens. >> steve: you mentioned williams, the mayor said you don't want him, he gets up at noon, hard to run the city when you get up at noon. >> brian: like de blasio. >> steve: she's in a terrible predicament, it would be hard to throw out a mayor of new york city while as we know there is an election in june, why not let it play itself out, let the fol folks decide in june and he'll

be booted anyway. >> he said last time he was down in poll numbers and he doesn't care what people are saying, it is up to new yorkers. he feels he's done a good job. kathy hochul said it is up to the will of the voters, she does not want to overturn it willy-nilly. we will head there. >> ainsley: lieutenant governor even called for adams to resign, and she was hand-picked by kathy hochul. she said governor's power to remove elected official has never been used. this would be a first. >> lawrence: when i hear the word emergency meeting, grinds my gear. there was no emergency meeting when an illegal set that woman on fire in the subway or when people are pushed on the subway or shooting at cops. when you have guy who is mayor

working with president of the united states to keep the city safe, all they want to do is get the criminal off the street and now an emergency meeting. >> brian: trump could pick up it is r the phone and say, it is in the best interest of the city to let the election play out. that was reason his department of justice stepped up, i don't care about the case, don't interfere with the election in 2025. >> ainsley: lawrence, you and i live in the city. >> lawrence: sadly. >> ainsley: will of the people should be heard. you can't pull someone off because you disagree with them. doj dropped the charges, i don't think you should remove someone that voters volted in. >> steve: doj dropped the charges, we want him to cooperate with the migration problem in new york city and it would interfere with that

election. department of justice can refile charges any time and so that is one thing. ultimately when it comes down to the will of the people, given the fact this is 80% democratic town, will democrats at that primary punish eric adams for working with donald trump? forget about the bad publicity, everyday there is something bad on the front page of the paper about eric adams. forget that. the fact he would cooperate with donald trump. that's a problem. >> lawrence: all i know, people in bronx, new york, not like republican area, were cheering when homeland secretary and ice were there getting rid of criminals because people here understand it and see people causing problems and their neighborhood. maybe the rich new york voters are going to vote but poor folks that understand travesty happening here, they will vote

for him, i think. >> brian: ice is allowed back in rikers island. >> ainsley: i think most new yorkers are worried about crime in the city, he's wanting to take criminals off the streets. >> brian: you and lawrence live in the city -- >> lawrence: i didn't say it was a pleasure. >> steve: trying to sit this one out. we are taxed by new york city. >> brian: we have no voice, they take our money, feeling congestion. >> steve: happening today, expecting ruling on how far the department of government efficient power can reach. government has to fight for access to american perjsonal daa files and ability to slash jobs continue. >> brian: jacqui heinrich is all over this from west palm beach, florida. >> we are all waiting on this federal judge today to issue a ruling after attorneys general

from 14 states tried to stop elon musk from accessing data at seven federal agencies and putting on leave or laying off employees from the agency. they are claiming there is risk of imminent harm at the departments of education, labor, health scomb human services, energy, commerce and office of personnel management and demanding a temporary restraining order. dc judge chutkin is not convinced. i am not seeing it so far, she says. doj lawyers are arguing elon musk does not have formal authority to make decisions himself. chutkin said she disagreed with this and they said musk is not administrator of doge or government efficient, declaring

him a special government employee and senior advisor to the president and cited anita dunn under former president joe biden. president trump has credited musk for his work on doge. anti-trump protesters took to the street on president's day, holding not my president sign and holding sign that says no one voted for elon musk. doge is working to access irs data, that access would allow doge employees with appropriate clearance and approval to communist through tightly controlled files including bank records and taxpayer information. any mistakes that happen could have disruption to tax filing system as hundred million americans are set to file their tax returns.

a lot of developments looking out for today. >> steve: thank you. live report. >> brian: most irs agents are at the border, not in the office. they are in their jean jackets. >> lawrence: redirected to camo. >> ainsley: yesterday there were anti-trump protest called 5051 movement, 50 protests, 50 states in one state on president's day. signs said not my president's day. >> steve: we've seen that before. >> lawrence: i spoke with a former black lives matter executive director 6789. here is what he said about the protests. >> these were performative, couple dozen people with signs and stuff. it is interesting, to me, it smells of george soros play book. democrats are desperate, it is

closest thing to a national cult that we have. when you are overwhelming ly bet with a mandate and slapped across all branches of government, you basically have nothing else, the playbook is protest trump, i believe americans are tired of protest and democrats offer nothing but protest. they need to lick their wounds and give donald trump and his administration a chance to do what people voted him in to do. >> steve: i think some democrats are worried about revelations from doge. okay, they are going in and looking at all the programs, our hard-earned money went and a lot of it is laughable. there will be accountability, i think they'll be able to say during the four years of joe biden administration, congress gave this department this money to do this. they did not do it, but did this

with the money. >> lawrence: they are playing it the wrong way, steve. there is misfunding programs we should never pay for that republicans wanted, too. >> steve: absolutely. >> lawrence: they should have said here are programs republicans like american people would not approve and brought that to light. this could have been a bipartisan push. all americans hate their funds being abused and wasted. they look silly and tired and old. >> ainsley: of all things to protest, this? elon musk is saving money. >> brian: and elon musk is in the line of fire now because he's going through part of education cuts, social security, recommending cuts, we saw with treasury, recommending accountability. he's talking how public is looking at him now and understanding what trump goes through. now you rescue astronauts and

now again, you do all of this, i would think liberals would love the fact you have biggest electric vehicle company in the world. >> i used to be ignored by the left, not anymore these days. it is this whole like they call it like trump derange mment syndrome. you don't realize how real it is, you can't reason with people. i was at a friend's birthday dinner, nice, quiet dinner and everyone behaving normally. i happened to mention, a month or two, mentioned the president's name and it was like they got shot in the jugulare with a dart that contained meth am fet mean and rabies. you can't have a normal conversation, they become

irrational. >> steve: trump derange mment syndrome is catching and now it is elon musk derange mment syndrome. >> ainsley: tuesday and wednesday, first tv interview, sean secured that interview and went to the white house. he wanted to hair it last night because yesterday was the holiday. >> lawrence: world's richest man and the world's most powerful man that agree on a lot of things and essentially the world's richest man is reporting to commander-in-chief everyday. i will find stuff and gets president to sign off, cut that. it is fascinating. >> brian: his other job, space x will launch v 2 mini- mini-satellite, that is happening, too. send a rocket up and put chips in brains. >> ainsley: and hopefully rescue

the two astronauts stuck in space. everyone used to love me and i started supporting you. sean said, you killed it, mr. president. and toronto, still no answers on what caused the flight to crash and flip upside down on landing. >> steve: nate foy has the investigation underway. we don't have a lot of details, we know what we saw and we saw the plane crash and flip over and people ran out. >> yeah, really scary stuff when you see videos online. we'll show you them in this report, working to clear videos you mentioned in the last report. most importantly, none of the people onboard have life-threatening injuries. 18 people are hurt of 80 passengers onboard. many are asking questions about the role wind gusts played in

this. wind gusts at the time of the crash were 38 miles per hour. audio shows air traffic controller warning pilots about the wind. the fire chief said something last night that caused confusion about that theory. listen to this. >> it is really important that we do not speculate. what we can say is runway was dry and there was no cross-wind conditions. >> so the plane slid down the runway on fire after the wing snapped off upon landing. officials are praising emergency response with firefighters putting the flames out and praising response of the cabin crew and people onboard the jet who helped each other unbuckle as they were dangling upside down like bats. they were able to get off the

plane and one passenger took this video shortly after getting off the plane. look. [indisc [indiscernible] -- upside down. everybody -- most people appear to be okay. >> looks like it could have been so much worse. plane took off from minneapolis, operated by endeavor, delta airlines. canada is leading this investigation with the faa serving in a support role. toronto airport is operating today, open for business, two runways will remain closed down during this investigation for the next few days, as the airport ceo said last night. we're being moved to terminal

one right now, don't know when they will take questions from us. top of the list, how are the 18 people injured doing? specifically a pediatric patient taken to the hospital after the plane crash landed yesterday. back to you. >> steve: details. >> brian: get warm. 19 after the hour. >> lawrence: carley shimkus has headlines. >> carley: suspected leader of cult-like group getting arrested in maryland over the weekend. jack lasota is head of zizians, linked to killing of u.s. border patrol agent last month in vermont and linked to other killings across the country. he will appear in court 11:00 eastern time. top official at social security administration stepping down from her position after supposed clash with doge employees over access to certain data.

michele king had been serving as acting commissioner of the agency at time of the apparent dispute. doge employees looking for internal data system which included personal information of millions of americans. we showed this clip of music blaring from brian's office while he was on the couch down here conducting an interview. ♪ ♪ just want to let this story die ♪ ♪ >> carley: it was what was on brian's desk catching attention of some viewers, rich pointing out after all complaining about ainsley's heater, brian has a giant space heater front and center on his desk. very suspicious according to rich. excellent points, my friend.

>> brian: very good point. >> steve: caught red-handed. >> lawrence: and in dc on the rooftop, you cried like a baby, you wanted heaters around you, this is becoming a trend. maybe you like the heater. >> steve: i love it. >> ainsley: i will turn it toward you. >> steve: no, turn it this way. >> brian: in the morning, the heat is not on, i thought they would address it, they said, here is a heater. you can have this, if you want. i can see my breath in the morning. >> steve: heat is not on in your office? >> brian: not when i first got there, no heat. >> lawrence: what you are saying, you have been secretly requesting more heat when you are not on set. >> brian: i wouldn't survive early morning hours. >> steve: good viewers spotted that. >> lawrence: we can't put anything's on the internet. >> brian: kate feels free to

write this story up and dana perino lead with it on her show. >> ainsley: someone posted a video and my credit card number was on a sticky note, someone was booking flights for me, i won't name names. i was like, could you take that picture down, i will cancel that card. >> brian: i was doing a tease and steve might remember this, in the other studio. by the way, here is our rundown, take a look. dana perino's cell phone number was on it. remember that? >> steve: i remember you be ing many years ago, during iowa caucuses, we were at a hotel and as you walked down the hall you said, you know who is in this room and said the name of the person in the room on tv. that person is in there right now sleeping. okay, we have to get that -- >> lawrence: more gaffes. >> steve: oops.

>> lawrence: get to commercial before you do something else. >> brian: you happy? back to the show as scheduled, activists planning new anti-musk protest and one democrat sounds five alarm warning on doge. >> ainsley: what is the cause for concern? we'll ask kellyanne conway. >> brian: and her cell phone number is...

>> brian: democrats outraged waiting for a ruling today giving elon musk access. one lawmaker issuing warning that elon musk has been after your personal information from day 1, his actions are illegal and blatant power grab. fox news contributor, kellyanne conway, joins us now. what is going on here? >> kellyanne: i keep hearing about 2028 and democrats will have resurrection, they are searching for a new leader and messenger. they have no message. their message gone from trump deran derangement syndrome to elon musk derange mment as i understd role, eds.

many felt silenced and censored. they are reminding us of work they are doing. why can't a few democrats come onboard and say, somebody is 360 years old, older than our nation. elon will continue to do his work. if you are him, why care what people say and care about you. protests, movable feast of derangement, they have nothing else to say, no good ideas. i think democrats get angry when somebody jumps ship. elon musk was a bernie bro, they went after tulsi gabbard, eric adams, anybody that was a dem democrat or associationed with the party who dares play ball with president trump or anybody

that wants to comply with law. not upset he is in the white house. democrats haveire and bile for those kinds of people. >> brian: very good point. it is interesting, if i want your personal information, he started paypal, he had it, he did not take it, he doesn't want it now. what is happening with mayor of new york, there is meeting of high level officials in new york and manhattan led by governor kathy hochul to talk about possibly removing eric adams as mayor, including four deputy mayors have all resigned underneath him. not when he was indicted, now when it seems like he's with trump on illegal immigration. what are your thoughts where this is heading? >> kellyanne: the four deputies did not resign when he was indicted or the city was on fire or when others were fleeing because of how over taxed the

city has become. they did not resign when a woman was lit on fire. they did not resign when our beautiful new york city hotels have become migrant homes to tune of billions of dollars of our money. they did not resign when a new york city child was plucked from their death for a migrant child. complying with immigration law, listening to tom homan and donald trump tell you it is against the law to be harboring migrants, and they could be prosecuted for that. kathy hochul, this is a political thing. it is true governor of new york has authority to take out the mayor of new york, but it has never been done. she may lose her primary. she has been anti-fracking, over regulating, done nothing measurably good for the state.

never heard her express objection when joe biden was daughtering around, when he pardoned his sign, she is rising up now because eric adams waubs to comply. >> brian: she is about to get her old boss if eric adams is put aside. she tripled utility bills because green programs and sanctioning of fossil fuel companies cost everybody a lot. thank you, appreciate it. price to pay for working with president trump. straight ahead, the meeting we've been waiting three years to see. the latest from u.s. peace talks with russia, don't move. lord, you know what's on our hearts. you know where we struggle. you know where we need to be pushed. help us give it all to you. the good, the bad.

only thing president trump is trying to do is bring about peace, something he campaigned on. i came away today convinced they are willing to engage in a serious process to determine how and how quickly and through what mechanism can end be brought to this war? >> u.s. secretary of state marco rubio is joined by u.s. national security advisor michael waltz and special envoy steve witkoff. this is taking place in riyhad. there is a three-stage peace plan that would call for election before signing of final agreement. ukraine is not taking part, ukr ukrainian president zelenskyy said in the last week no deal can be made if ukrainian negotiators are not involved. lieutenant general keith kellogg will be in ukraine that week and

is expected to meet with zelenskyy. european leaders held a meeting voicing concern u.s. and european deal could res ward russia in the end and china is weighing in that all parties should sit together for peace talks. hours before, russia launched iks tensive drone attack on ukraine and troops are advancing at the fast eest pace since 200 22. six days ago we saw trump, president trump make this phone call with russian president vladamir putin showing how fast all of this is moving. back to you. >> steve: no kidding. thank you. >> brian: russia says we're more concerned about our relationship with the u.s. and want our oil companies back.

exxon included. we never had them aaggressively do that, they have been isolated. >> ainsley: donald trump said he wants to stop the killing andun was peace. >> steve: it will bring down the price of oil and that is good for all of us. >> lawrence: faa slashed hundreds of employees as trump tries to bring efficient to the skies. details next. the flag replacement program got started by a good friend of mine, a navy vet, saw a flag at the office that needed to be replaced and said wouldn't this be great if this could be something that we did for anyone? comcast has always been a community driven company. this is one of those great examples of the way we're getting out there. at harbor freight, we design and test our own tools

>> steve: we don't know what caused that delta connection plane to crash and flip upside down while on fire on that runway in toronto. that did not stop some trying to blame president trump and his doge cost-cutting measure. griff jenkins joins us with details. >> griff: as tragic as plane crashes are, they are at the center of the latest attacks on president trump. a number of faa firings were ann announced. some say faa is already short and this is a risk in air space in the aftermath of four deadly crashes in the last month.

swalwell taking a shot saying no president has had more plane crashes in their first month in office than donald trump and pete buttigieg questioning the safety of the firings which prompted sean duffy to set the record straight saying mayor pete failed to update traffic control system and said the facts are faa has 45,000 employees les than 400 were let go, zero safety controllers. some connecting toronto to trump and doge, former aviation xfrts that's ludicrous. >> from what i see, they have zero to do with this accident. it is not a matter of staffing, nothing to do with this at it, i

can tell you now. >> griff: canadian controllers are not part of the faa. >> steve: you know what they say in politics, never let a crisis go to waste. thank you, live report from d.c. here in studio m carley has news. >> carley: just confirmed this americaning, american kaylen biers was freed from a russian prison. the west virginia native had been arrested on drug smuggling charges after customs officialsed they found marijuana-infused gummies in his luggage. he was released on sent evening, just days after mark fogelwas released. the pope remains hospitalized in r rome recovering from a respiratory infection and

>> starting today the los angeles unified school district will begin enforcing its ban on cell phones and smart devices during the school day. the district's ban on cell phones, ear buds and smart watches comes after rising concerns about their impacts on

youth's mental health, bullying and learning distractions. high school counselor joins us now. good morning. i know you've written books about this, you give lectures on this. you are on board. tell me why. >> 100%. i've been preaching this for many years going back to my work at the high school. here is why. i spoke to a high school principal last week, one example. doing a lecture for the school. they instituted the yonder pouches that lock up your phone. every metric improved. kids are talking to one another, engaging, less disciplinary problems. less mental health issues and they are seeing test scores and grades increase. >> ainsley: what do you recommend for parents giving their kids phones? what age should we start giving our kids the flip phone? >> the flip phones are fine.

if there is one called the gab wire looks like a smartphone. you can text and send phone calls. it eliminates the question when i'm giving lectures. what if there is an emergency, how to get hold of my kid? get one of those phones. the internet and buzzes in the pockets is causing issues that we see in schools. >> ainsley: do you see a down side? >> not a single downside other than some parents being nervous because it has become the umbilical cord between parent and child more for the parents this idea with a if there is an emergency. what did we do in previous generations? i see only up sides. >> ainsley: 31 states proposing or enacting phone bans in school. you say the real issue is the parent. why? >> it is. parents have become so accustomed to being able to get ahold of their children. the whole idea if you are in an

emergency. we need to get back to the basics. i remember when i was working at the high school and had a kid in my office and parents texting them during the school day. parents have to trust the schools a little bit. if there is an emergency they have a land line they'll be able to get ahold of you and parents will get used to it. >> ainsley: how much is it costing the school districts? >> really i think the yonder pouch is a good start. if i was the one in charge here, i wouldn't allow the phones to enter the building at all. yonder pouch, great, take the phone away from the kid. we need to get to a point where phones just don't go to school with the kid period rather than have calculators. >> ainsley: when you speak what do parents say about this? >> i never had a single parent say the smartest thing i ever did was give my kid a smartphone. countless parents say the biggest mistake i ever made was

giving my kids a smartphone. delay those as long as possible. late adolescents. household narratives. once those kids get smartphones it is constant friction, constant arguments, get off the phone. the temperament in the household has gone from calm to hostile. >> ainsley: is it okay to give our children our smartphone just for a little bit during the day if they want to watch something? >> you know, that's -- it's not about the technology and phone. it's about the eight or nine hours a day kids are spending on it. if you have a glass of wine with dinner. that's fine. eight glasses of wine with dinner every day we have a problem. it is the amount of time they are using it and it's very hard to manage it. >> ainsley: thank you for coming on. great advice. everyone have a great day. we'll see you tomorrow. >> drop it. come on.
