think, you know, these guys trust him, his ability to lead. they trust each other and we will be right there with cameras rolling being able to give the fans an immersive view. it is finding a way to win. >> brian: are you going to drop one at a time or all six. >> one at a time. over the next six week ever wednesday a new episode will drop. >> brian: congratulations doing it. it is not easy. i don't envy the edit process. thank you so much. look forward to the series. get the first episode today, the tides that bind inside alabama football. thanks so much, guys, appreciate it. i will download the first episode right now. before i do that i have to do radio. thanks for watching "fox & friends." >> i know every businessman.

the know the good ones, bad ones, know them all. this guy is a brilliant great guy. >> bill: he and elon musk sitting down with the interview on the fox news channel with sean hannity. what did they learn about their unlikely friendship? a lot. good morning. wednesday. i'm bill hemmer in new york. >> dana: i'm great. i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." it was a great interview. a lot of people will have watched this because it is an intriguing relationship. trump and musk defended the doge-led overhaul of the federal government heaping praise on one another and pushing back on democratic criticism. >> president trump: i wanted to find somebody smarter than him. i searched all over. i just couldn't do it. >> you really tried hard. >> president trump: i couldn't find anyone smarter, right? for the country. we settled on this guy.

>> thanks for having me. i want to be useful here. >> he has tremendous imagination. you keep talking about technologist and all. you are much more than that. you are that but he is also a good person. he is a very good person and he wants to see the country do well. i know a lot of great business people, really great business people but they aren't really in some cases very good people. and i know people that would try and take advantage of the situation. this guy is somebody that really cares for the country. i saw that very early on. >> president trump: i think president trump is a good man >> i think president trump is a good man. you know, i -- i mean, the president has been so unfairly attacked in the media. it is outrageous. at this point i've spent a lot of time with the president and not once have i seen him do something that was mean, cruel

or wrong. i am here to provide the president with technology support. that may seem like is that a silly thing? it is a very important thing because the president will make these executive orders which are very sensible and good for the country. then they don't get implemented, you know? if you take for example the funding for the migrant hotels. the president issued an executive order we need to stop taking taxpayer money and paying for luxury hotels for illegal immigrants. it makes no sense. people don't their tax dollars going to fund high-end hotels for illegals. and yet they were still doing that as late as last week. and so, you know, we went in and this is in violation of the presidential executive order and needs to stop. so what we're doing here is one of the biggest functions of the doge team is making sure the presidential executive orders are actually carried out.

i want to point out this is a very important thing because the president is the elected representative of the people. so he is representing the world of the people. if the bureaucracy is fighting the will of the people and preventing the president from implementing what people want then we live in a bureaucracy, not a democracy. >> bill: lucas tomlinson picks up from the north lawn of the white house. >> good morning. if elon musk is offering tech support scott bessent is offering treasury support. next door at the treasury department he opened up the front doors for the first time since covid to bret baier where he says doge has uncovered 50 billion in waste. >> i don't think it's unreasonable to think we could have several percent of the gdp.

25% of the economy throws through washington, d.c. the waste, fraud and abuse and i think for the first time in my lifetime we will see a proper accounting. >> that proper accounting going to the pentagon. the defense department is expected to start firing people soon. pentagon agencies told to submit lists of probationary employees at members of the doge team arrived. with a budget of $850 billion there is plenty to cut including a civilian workforce over 750,000 around the world. no cuts planned to the 1.3 million men and women on active duty. defense official a few minutes ago tells me there are no final decisions that have been made when it comes to cuts in the defense department. president trump signed more executive orders in palm beach yesterday saying he wants to make the federal government stronger and smaller. he also commented on elon musk's

role in the executive branch. >> president trump: elon musk, to me, a patriot. you could call him an employee, a consultant, you could call him whatever you want. he is a patriot. >> federal judge here in washington gave a victory to musk and doge team after failing to issue a restraining order which some wanted him to stop his doge team from mining through the federal government's computers. >> bill: more to come on that. thank you. >> dana: and crowd favorite josh holmes, is with us now. play a little more for you from the interview about trump derangement syndrome from musk's point of view. >> i would think liberals would love the fact that you have the biggest electric vehicle company in the world. >> i used to be adored by the left, you know, not these days. it's this whole sort of like --

called trump derangement syndrome. you don't realize how real this is until it's -- you can't reason with people. i was at a friend's birthday party, and it was a nice, quiet dinner. everyone was behaving normally. i happened to mention before the election, the president's name and it was like they got shot with a dart in the jug lair that contained methamphetamine and rabies. what is -- guys, you can't have a normal conversation. it is like they become completely irrational. >> dana: i wonder if that's one of the reasons that democrats can't find their footing after the election. >> no question about it. first off, hats off to the channel and sean hannity for that remarkable interview. i think this is amongst the most important relationships in government we've seen in quite some time. i thought they did a great job of not only laying out what it is they are attempting to do

here. humor, there was a bunch of serious stuff and you saw the relationship. when you have democrats hell bent on trying to divide these two people, trying to prevent them from executing the mission of doge, reducing the size and scope of the government. when they have a large majority of american people rooting them on frankly. >> bill: the atlantic writes this. you know it was coming. sean hannity tries to calm the waters. who is running the u.s. trump or musk? take that on if you like. i thought what was revealing. i don't know how the relationship goes over time. right now firm. sawn side i feel like i'm talking to two brothers sitting here. the fact that trump shared the stage with musk and vice versa should tell us a lot, i think. >> it certainly should. musk has become the target of the left. this works for president trump in a variety of different ways. it doesn't matter how good your

political staff, political appointees are. the test of time, history shows us at some point the political wherewithal to be able to execute a mission as grand as what elon musk is talking about has never been able to be done through traditional means. now you have the richest man in the world who happens to be best friends with the president and total mandate from the president to go about the business of cutting government. and honestly, i think there are those of us who spend a lot of time in washington didn't think it was possible to get down this road this far. they have done it. you can see the political pressure coming from the left to stop them at every turn. every single then is the normandy invasion to the democratic party. it's not. this is about making progress and they're well on their way. >> dana: the left are suggesting with that headline who is running the government? i remember that from bush days, right? it's just is karl rove or dick cheney running the government? trump is running the government.

to me musk has been quite differential to the president. i don't think that tactic is going to work. >> yeah. no, it's not. you can't actually get the guy. you try to get the guy underneath him, right? they are basically just trying anything they can do to hamstring the trump administration. you've seen it as you said during the bush administration. i experienced a little of this when i was the chief of staff, too. if you can't take the guy out you have to go after their number two and try to make them politically unpalatable. the interview shows about status of the relationship and president trump's willingness to pursue doge until they get results. >> bill: they are saying a trillion dollars they can save. see how close they get to it. nice to see you today, josh holmes by popular demand. revealing moment from the interview musk made this comment about the endorsement he gave to trump that perhaps even

surprised the president. this is how that went down. >> i've known him for 30 years and i've never seen anybody take as much as he has taken and then culminating in two a says re says nations athames. >> i would do it anyone but that was it. >> president trump: that sped it up a little bit? i didn't know that. >> i was going to do it anyway but i sped it up. >> bill: we had just flown into milwaukee, soon there after, if not that evening, i can't recall exactly whether or not the next day when musk went to x. >> dana: that was the day that mark zuckerberg wrote the most bad ass thing i've ever seen. so perhaps that was just a moment that people -- that were thinking about voting for him. but that they decided this is going to be the person i'm going for. >> bill: stunned all of us. this gentleman joined us yesterday.

watch from canada. >> there was no warning from the pilot. there was no physical warning, either. i didn't feel like anything was wrong until kind of just like the second the wheels touched the ground and then it all -- >> bill: it came out of the blue or white when you see the weather on the screen. survivors on board the plane describing the moments before impact as we wait for a cause. we'll take a closer look at what we can see now from this video coming up here. >> dana: people in tennessee and kentucky are reeling from devastating floods and now more dangerous weather is on the way. >> bill: you have a big push for peace in ukraine. can the president bring this nightmare of a war to an end? what he is proposing so far before the guns can go silent. >> the first step of a long and difficult journey but important one. trump wants it to way in a way that's fair and sustainable and enduring. not that leads to another conflict in two to three years.

>> bill: remarkable video here from yesterday. we shared that with you. seems to be one of the best pieces of video evidence for this plane in toronto. on the screen you see here this is north to the bottom left of the screen. south this way. a strong wind coming from the west at the time the plane was coming in. pilots were warned gusty breeze coming in. winds gusting to 40 miles-per-hour. this is the impact for the plane you see in the video up there and this is the area where the plane came to a rest after it flipped and turned.

what we want to do now. we'll roll over here. we'll take it frame by frame before we bring in our guest, okay? as the plane is coming in, it appears the landing gear in the back both wheels now are firm. likewise for the front weal as well. that seems to be intact, all right? part of the investigation, too. this is the moment of immediate impact, all right? when you get that hard landing that some of these passengers describe. we don't know what happened to the landing gear at that moment . we do know what happened to the right wing of the plane. it was gone, sheared off. because of that if you move to this frame, the left wing then starts to dominate the weight of the plane. it literally flips the plane over and in some ways maybe you could argue the way the plane is constructed this is where it ends up ultimately on its back side and inverted. you could argue, maybe, that left wing taking that plane and turning it over brought the

plane to a stop. back with us today pilot matthew buckley, the whiz out of florida. good morning and thank you for coming back. something sticks out with me on this. what are investigators focusing on. three things. the pilot's actions, the landing gear problems or weather conditions. your assumption is what, sir? >> thank you for having me again, bill. you are old enough to get the reference. a joe theismann moment. a leg or landing gear, a hard landing straight down the runway isn't necessarily a problem. when you have a hard landing coupled with a lateral movement it will break. landing gear or leg isn't designed to move sideways and hard. let's fast forward quick to the weather, bill. on the screen right now massive fireball, right? as soon as the gear collapses,

right wing comes off. fuel out. fireball. thank god they rolled into the snow. if you have ever seen a crash like this on a regular runway with no snow that fireball catches up to the airplane as it stops and fuel is all over the place. this could have been a hell of a lot worse. thank god it rolls in the snow and you can see the fire more or less go out. in this case the snow actually saved a lot of lives in my opinion. >> bill: i don't know if there was enough time in those final seconds. an altimeter. they're watching the range they have, how many feet they have before they make contact with ground, pilot and co-pilot. i don't mean to pause. trying to phrase it the right way to all understand it. would the pilots have enough warning if they were coming into contact with the ground too quickly?

>> absolutely, bill. great minds think alike. that aircraft, if you are below 1,000 feet and descending at greater than 500 feet per minute, the jet will give you a heads-up and talk to you, terrain, pull up. you will get -- the jet will be angry and start yelling at you if you are descending too fast under 1,000 feet in the landing configuration. most airlines. i don't know endeavor air's to the letter, most will say if the jet is yelling at you like that coming down hard, add power and go around. you have enough fuel. let's try this landing again. >> bill: you wonder if there was enough time in the end. the ceo of delta was on cbs a couple hours ago. cuts for the faa and how he addressed that. >> the cuts do not affect us, gail. i have been in close communication with the secretary of transportation. i understand that the cuts at this time are something that are raising questions. the trump administration has

committed to investing deeply in terms of improving the overall technologies used in the air traffic control systems and modernizing the skies and committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators and safety investigators. no, i'm not concerned with that at all. >> bill: he has a big job now. what do you think about the critics? >> it makes zero sense, bill. even the d.c. crash had nothing to do with air traffic control. the tower might have been understaffed and controller may have been able to give another sugar call. you have rj traffic at your level by a half mile. at the end of the day the pilot in command. man or woman who signs for that aircraft owns the airplane and ultimately responsible. i don't envy the ceo of delta right now. i don't want to get in front of the ceo of delta or endeavor air. we'll be having further

conversations about this mishap. i don't want to get in front. three holding onto the crew members' names and experience levels most likely for a reason. we will likely be talking about. >> bill: thank you for coming back, the whiz out of florida. nice to sigh. >> dana: president trump's cabinet is almost complete. senate confirming howard lutnick yesterday serving as secretary of commerce. he aligns with the president's trade and tariff agenda. kash patel advanced yesterday. republicans say trump has the support of the party and patel will be confirmed later this week. then today at noon eastern the senate will vote on kelly loveler, the sba administrator and expected to be confirmed as well. the team is getting together. >> where i am right now, the may

country. they spent money like nobody ever spent. >> harris: president trump acknowledging the price index is up 3%. the president blaming that on his predecessor. president trump looking to level the playing field in trade relations looking to impose tariffs on autos and other goods and here is what he said yesterday. >> have you decided specifically what the auto tariff rate should be? >> president trump: i will probably tell you that on april 2nd. it will be in the neighborhood of 25%. >> pharmaceuticals? >> president trump: it will be 25% and higher and go substantially higher over the course of a year. we want to give them time to come in. when they come into the united states and they have their plant or factory here, there is no tariff. so we want to give them a little bit of a chance. >> dana: joining us now is former reagan economic advisor art laffer. these are the types of vehicles

that are coming into the united states from volkswagen, audy, bmw and others, your thoughts on the proposal on 25%? >> the tariffs that they put on our products are far higher, universally they are. i'm talking about tariffs here but also includes non-trade barriers, includes quotas, all sorts of restrictions on u.s. products. those tariffs do a lot of damage to the world economy. what donald trump is doing, president trump is doing in my opinion is setting a negotiation. if you will lower your tariffs and your non-tariff barriers against u.s. products we won't have to add tariffs. reciprocity is clear the way he is negotiating is beautiful. if you look at what he did in the first term, usmca, japan deal and south korea deal were pro free trade. i expect him to do great deals

and barriers fall, not rise. these people need access to the u.s. market and threatening their access to the u.s. market quite rightly so if they don't bring down their barriers. >> dana: scott bessent spoke about this and the impact on consumers. >> we think about it three ways. one can be revenues for the government. two can be to make trade fair because a lot of our trading partners do not treat us fairly. and three, president trump uses them for negotiating, as he did with columbia, as you are seeing with mexico, with canada, with the fentanyl crisis that we're having. when we get energy prices down, when we deregulate, as we saw in president trump's first term, inflation will be under control at the feds target of 2%. >> dana: do you think that energy costs are the key to that inflation problem president trump was talking about?

>> well, they are a huge portion of it, dana. a very large portion. it is not the whole picture. we need economic growth not only in energy. we need it in production, output, employment, all of that. he will get his tax bill through and propose further tax cuts. spending restraint with doge. regulatory reform with energy, you get trade barriers lowered. all of that will lead to a huge increase in u.s. output, employment and production and that will bring prices down quite substantially just the way it did in his first term and under reagan. so i'm expecting an economic miracle in lower inflation. >> dana: i also want to ask you about this. you brought up doge. this proposal came up yesterday. i don't know what you think about it. an idea that you would take dividends from doge, the savings, and send checks to the american people. elon musk says he will check with the president on that. he said that on x. then this is the breakdown of

the monies. the goal is to save $2 trillion in doge. 400 billion back to the taxpayers, 5,000 per taxpayer household. this is something that is just an idea. elon musk says he will run it by the president. do you think it is a good idea or was it meant to put money back into the government to save some because we're spending so much federally? >> yeah. you know, i think what he may be a very good idea politically but not the greatest economically. we need to cut tax rates. by cutting tax rates you increase the incentive to produces. just checks to families because they happen to pay taxes, if they aren't directly related there are no incentive effects there. i would much rather see the $5 thousand per household come in tax rate reduction to further stimulate the u.s. don't collect the money from the taxpayers is how we should do it. >> dana: as we head into april

and tax season everybody will pay attention. art laffer, have a great day. >> say hello to bill for me. >> bill: here in new york we have a good story brewing. democratic mayor is eric adams due back in federal court today for a high-stakes hearing on his future. a judge now set to rule on whether or not the drop the corruption charges against him. eric shawn watching it all outside the courthouse in lower manhattan. hello. >> hello, bill. there are growing calls for new york city mayor eric adams to resign. this on the beginning of this hearing here in federal court in lower manhattan where mayor adams says he is not going anywhere. >> i enjoy every moment of police office and prepared me for where i am right now. this is the mayor of the greatest city on the globe. everybody should want to take it. and they are going to have to take it because i am going nowhere. i'm going to be the mayor.

happy black history month. >> adams defiant as federal prosecutors are set to lay out why the corruption charges against him should be dropped. the hearing before federal judge could scrap charges of bribery, fraud, accepting illegal foreign campaign donations from turkey. acting deputy attorney general bove says the case should be dismissed because it interferes with the city's mayoral election and harm's the mayor's ability to govern the city. a former prosecutor refused to drop the charges and quit. she and critics accuse adams and the president of making a corrupt deal saying a quid pro quo saying trump is dropping the federal charges in exchange for adams carrying out the administration's tough immigration orders. but both deny that. >> the way that bove and the justice department did this

created a situation where if it goes through as they've asked for turns the mayor into an agent of donald trump. >> new york governor kathy hochul, fellow democrat, has been considering whether or not to remove adams from office. she says she will wait to see what the federal judge does here. what he decides before she makes her decision on his future. back to you. >> bill: chilling morning, hang tough. we'll follow it from here. thank you, sir. >> dana: doge searching for wasteful spending in the federal government. talking a lot of money in the trillions. senator tim scott will joins on where these savings might come from. >> president trump: they won't find some contract that was crooked as hell. i think he will find a trillion dollars.

crooked as hell. there will be so much isn't found. what is found i think he will find a trillion dollars. >> i think so. >> president trump: it's a very small percentage compared to what it is. >> bill: intriguing interview talking with sean. they say doge has already identified 1% of the waste, fraud and abuse in government spending which may be at the moment not a big pile but tim scott, chairman of the senate banking committee is with me now. we were showing the number 2 trillion. in january musk said he could cut 2 trillion. if we go for 2 trillion, maybe we hit 1 trillion. you have been in d.c. for a while now. is it doable? >> bottom line is over a ten year budget window it is doable without any question. what's more important is every single dollar spent by the government is a dollar not spent in the private sector. that translates into billions

and billions and billions of dollars wasted through waste, fraud and buy news in the government. if we can those dollars in the proverb at sector america wins. whether he finds 500 billion, a trillion or even $2 trillion, that probably multiplies to 10 trillion in private sector activity over a 10-year period of time. those numbers are real dollars in the pockets of the american people. thank god almighty we have a president who made promises on the campaign trail and now he is keeping those promises. >> bill: free at last. not quite yet. >> thank god almighty. >> bill: who those where they are in six months or a year. i want to move to another topic in the interest of time. you have a big job to get this budget bill done and reconcile it with the house. moments ago on truth social

tax cuts are permanent. how do we get there? one bill, two bills, that we get there is the most important ingredient for president trump's success and we will deliver. >> bill: i'm hearing a little folks on the senate side waivering on this. i don't know if you go for one or two. chuck schumer as it out for you. watch . >> this will be a long, drawn out fight and show the hollowness of republican arguments on cutting waste and attempts to cut healthcare and medicare and cut housing and nih to empower doge. so it incinerates basic services that help tens of millions of people. >> bill: i don't know how many democratic votes you will get. at the moment zero. >> i think you are right, bill. here is what we know. the democrats led the economy for four years, it also cost the american taxpayer and voter $1 thousand a month in spending power. here are the people who have no desire to find waste, fraud or

abuse in our government. how do we know that? they are whining and complaining right now about doge. we have a commitment to the american people, let them keep their money and let them decide their future. that's the way it works in america. for all my democrat friends who do not like doge or don't like cutting unnecessary and wasteful spending, your time is out. it is time for the american people to make their decisions with their resources and we, one team, are committed to that. >> bill: it seems to poll pretty well. you might be on the right side of the issue. thank you for coming on. nice to see you in your home state. tim scott, thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: bill, at least he was able to laugh it off. tiger woods made what he called one of his most embarrassing moments in his career when he mixed up his yardages in a stimulated golf league last

night. >> he has a wedge. 199. you said 99 yards. 99. i heard you say 99. not 199. >> dana: i'm not sure what happened. bill will take me through it. they say in fairness to tiger he hit the ball exactly how far he thought he was supposed to but unfortunately it wound up being 100 yards short of the hole and with his team ended up losing the match 10-three. >> bill: this is a new thing that golf is doing. i think it's kind of caught on, actually, for a tv sport where they play indoors against a simulator. i bought into it. he was told he got 99 yards and hit it right before the creek or whatever it is in front of him. he hits his wedge. it was actually 199 yards. he misheard the guy and pulled a wrong club.

should have gone to an eight iron. indoors, it is february. >> dana: that's true. we'll do anything for some entertainment. president trump taking on foreign drug cartels and mobileizing the full force of the federal government to do it. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete,
