less than a minute remaining before we toss to "fox & friends." we want to ask you about the latest out of israel. they just received a four hostage bodies from hamas and they are believed in include the bee business family. including the two children, the youngest hostages conversation of phase two ramps up. 20 seconds to you. >> absolutely disgusting what hamas has done to the israeli people, their attacks. i stand with president trump. i think netanyahu needs to be firmer with them. now he has got the true terrorist organization and maybe america's time for us to get more involved in the war on terror and wipe hamas on the face of the planet. i expect president trump to be much more deliberate when it comes to that. i think president trump. >> carley: congressman thank you so much. "fox & friends" starts right now.

happen and maybe you shouldn't have gone on the trip. >> why did. >> i don't know. i think that's one of the things we need to look at. >> brian: investigate why i ended up in africa. please. why there is a huge fire but i took off anyway. i want someone fired. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ amazing. how about this, president trump signing an executive order ending all federal taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants. >> ainsley: lucas tomlinson "fox news live" washington with more. hey, lucas. >> lucas: good morning, ainsley, good morning, guys. my opening numbers for you this morning. president trump's executive order bars illegal aliens from receiving federally funded benefits to the total of $177 billion. and here's a little break down for you. this includes 59 billion for obamacare premium tax credits. 43 billion for the earned income tax credit and the child tax

credit. 40 billion for medicare and children 50 for food stamps. 13 billion for nutrition programs. $4 billion for the supplemental security income. a lot of ache critical condition nipples for you this morning. the federation for immigration reform estimates federal expen temperatures on illegal aliens total $66.5 billion. this includes more than 23 billion in federal medical expenditures 11.6 billion in welfare benefits. manhattan institute every new illegal adds $130,000 to the american taxpayer. a lot of numbers this morning. this isn't the only government program getting cut. defense secretary pete hegseth has ordered the senior military leaders to develop a budget to slash defense spending by 8%. is he ordering the proposed cuts on his desk by february 24th. and a memo released last night the pentagon says, quote: we must act urgently to revive the

warrior ethos rebuild our military and establish deterrence. the department of defense is conducting this review to ensure we are making the best use of taxpayer dollars in a way that delivers on president trump's defense priorities effectively, efficiently, and effectively. now, 17 categories will be extempt from budget reductions in the pentagon, including military operations at the southern border. nuclear weapons and missile defense programs as well as building drones and munitions, guys. >> brian: that number could be reduced, but it can't be -- you can't just knock it down to zero, right? >> that's correct, brian. and right now the united states is spending about 3.5% of our economy on defense during the reagan build-up that was about 6%. in jimmy carter's day the low point was 4.5% of the economy. some people like roger wicker want to see a boost in defense spending with all the hot spots around the world right now. >> brian: be interesting to see them lean out at the same time

they build up and start reforming. >> ainsley: lucas, the administration is saying no more federal taxpayer benefits for illegals. what about people here on working visas. they are here illegally. would they still be able to tap into obamacare? >> this is only for the illegal immigrant. green card holders, if i understand your question correctly just for the illegal aliens that entered the country. >> brian: lucas tomlinson is paperwork is in order. >> lawrence: i think this is remarkable. we knew they were getting benefits from the federal government but when you see the breakdown of the billions of dollars that they have been getting, i'm with ainsley though, if you have tps, for example, you are going through the asylum process, you have a work visa at the time, okay. i understand that you are contributing while you are going through the legal process. but the moment that it's rejected by the courts and they say that you have a final deportation order, you got to go. >> ainsley: the asylum is if you are being persecuted in your country, if it's not safe to be in your country.

they have to argue their case when they go, you know, before the judge. the trump administration, when they signed this executive order said my administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of the hard earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for american citizens in need. they talk about those with disabilities, and our veterans. >> brian: if you can take a check out of this. remember the goal is to save a trillion. >> ainsley: per year. >> brian: that is getting you there. let's say 250 billion. number one, how many 260 people crossed a day now used to be up to 8,000? so that's going to go down. the other thing is, i'm with you, lawrence, if it's the criteria with this administration. but the other criteria with the previous administration is if you crossed, and you say hey i feel threatened, that's not good enough. >> lawrence: i agree. >> brian: tell me why you can't go to a different portion of your country if you feel threatened? >> lawrence: not just that, bry, the law says that you have to stop at that first country, that

offers asylum. a lot of them were coming straight to america and not going through the process. but, apparently the number that is quoted is $450 billion that we would be -- that's how much money they have spent on the got-aways and illegals in this country. >> ainsley: also, we have heard a lot of talk about you possibly you getting a check. you are a taxpayer, and they are saving all of this money. if they are saving 1 trillion annually, there has been talk that maybe you would get 20% or americans would get 20% of the savings and 20% would go to cut down on our debt. >> lawrence: you will have to do convincing of brian kilmeade. >> ainsley: he wants it all to pay down the debt. >> lawrence: i think people want tangibles and they want to see the money in their pocket immediately. because we feel left behind. a lot of folks have been endured with cody and all of that i think it would help the economy if people saw that money. >> ainsley: a lot of people aren't watching the news. a lot of people don't know this is the conversation that he is saving money. most people are aware but not everybody. but if you get a check in the

mail and it's $5,000, that helps your family. >> brian: yeah. here is president trump on possibly getting this dividend check out. >> elon musk is proposing essentially giving money to americans based on what doge is finding. do you have any thoughts on that? >> i love it at 20% dividend so to speak for the money that we're saving by going after the waste, fraud, and abuse all and all of the other things that is happening. i think it's great idea. >> how much money do you think? >> could be a lot. 20%. give back a lot of money to the taxpayer. and also give it -- incentive for the taxpayer to go out and report things to us where we could save money. >> brian: that's a good point, too. in real time. just like taxes on tips sitting in front of that las vegas audience and said you guys live off tips. that is good intingts tickets. i like the idea of going back into the economy give mr. and mrs. johnson $5,000 they can go get the lawn mower or maybe do

something on their house, that helps the economy. but, i just also think the whole mind set of tightening your belt, getting those minimum payments paid, and i thought elon musk nailed it yesterday as deep a thinker as he is and brilliant as he is. i thought he knocked it down simply and directly with why he's going through every department. why we need a department of efficiency to begin with. listen. >> if we don't solve the deficit, there won't be money for medical care. there won't be money for social security. we either solve the deficit or all we will be doing is paying debt. it's god to be solved. it's not optional. america will go bankrupts if that's not done. that's why i'm here. a lot of rich people out there, they should be caring more about the country. because the reason they should be caring more about the country. if america falls, what do you think is going to happen to your business? do you think you are going to be okay if the ship of america sinks? of course not. like, what i'm doing here, what

the president is doing, is just long-term thinking will ship of america must be strong. cannot sink. if it sinks, we all sink with it. >> do you know what i like about that moment? throughout the interview you saw the answers back and forth with elon musk. that moment when is he talking about the debt. he looks sean right in the eyes and he goes this is not optional. we won't survive as a country and you got the impression that this is personal for him. he's not getting anything out of this. this is him saying if you want to save the country, we have to start right here. >> ainsley: trump was saying it's a thankless job and elon is going after it. elon also said it's better than just saying just trust us we are saving you money. we want full transparency. they gave out the website. what we're doing with doge, go check it out for yourself. go to doge.gov and you can see every action that's being taken. >> brian: he does know a big

risk, big reward but big fail. in 2008 tesla couldn't get on the road. they couldn't manufacture it. i think he shot three rockets up. they all exploded. all the investors were saying we're pulling out. if it wasn't for the paypal guy whose left with fractious but they stayed friendly, they came in with some money, sustained him. the rockets flew, star link went up, tesla got pun intended. he knows what it's like to sit there and say how do i pay my people? everything about the collapse in 2008. so, that's -- i just find this the most encouraging, interesting program, nonwar related, government related that i have ever -- lawrence and i like the thought of normally i'm not for citizens tattle telling like they did during covid, reporting things in. if they are reporting in waste, fraud and abuse, i kind of like that. it's an incentive. almost like the taxpayer now is the auditor. we are saying this is a program that's being wasteful.

i'm a federal employee. i don't like this. report it in to doge. i think you guys should investigate this. >> ainsley: he has a team of 100 people working for him, elon does. they are going through all the federal bureaucracy. we have seen closing programs agencies. mass firings. canceling contracts. saving a lot of money. 1 trillion per year is the goal. now yesterday sean duffy who is head of transportation. he sent a letter to kathy hochul. >> brian: is he in the news every day. >> ainsley: we are ending congestion pricing because it's so expensive to drive through manhattan it can be $9 and more depending on if you have one of those little cards that gets you through the tunnel what is that without what is that called? the e-z pass. that's a lot of money if you are a cab driver and a lot of money if you are a door man and have to drive through midtown and go to the upper west side to work in your building. i talk to at love door men and complaining saying it's costing us so much more money to go to work. >> lawrence: everybody is complaining about it.

>> ainsley: no one likes it. except for kathy. >> steve: i was talking to pearl. she has never had a conversation in the makeup room. >> brian: do you know her last name? >> lawrence: fontaine. >> brian: almost like madonna only first name. >> ainsley: cowboy boots texas texas tuesday. >> lawrence: the moment this came up on the screen with "fox & friends first." what is wrong with her? like no one in the city likes. this and i just feel like this is another one of those common sense issues that you have been talking about, ainsley, that you are giving donald trump and his administration another win. you're letting him have new yorkers on this issue. no one is for this. >> brian: she said the next time your train is delayed, the next time you're caught in traffic, blame donald trump. here's what trump put out yesterday and look at the cover of the "new york post" eventually. congestion price something dead. manhattan and all of new york is saved. long live the king. president donald j. trump.

>> ainsley: picture on "time" magazine. >> brian: do you know who loves it governor of new jersey. he says thank you, donald trump. but listen to governor hochul who symbolically walked through the subway. >> president donald trump tweeted long live the king. i'm here to say labored under a king in over 250 years. [cheers] and we are not -- we sure as hell are not going to start now. we stood up to a king. and we won then. and we will. [cheers] in case you don't know new yorkers, we're in a fight. weave do not back down, not now, not ever. >> brian: we want to pay more. >> ainsley: she went on to say this message to us who live and work in new york. i don't care if you love congestion pricing or hate it, this is an attack on our

sovereign independence from washington. you don't care if we hate it you? are our governor. >> lawrence: she is talking -- in case you don't know, he is a new yorker. okay? he is a new yorker. and he just won part of your state. and so, you would think you ought to reverse some of your decision making. if you are already losing ground to donald trump in a heiferly liberal place. i told you all, i'm seeing people with maga hats in my gym that never happened before. >> ainsley: is he fighting for new york. i haven't talked to one person who is for this? who wants to pay extra? another way to get revenue. e-z passes we no longer realize what the tolls are, hit by $9 to get into tawnel. no go across the city another $9. then if i have to park because i drove i'm paying $70 a day. right? so all of a sudden why am i going to the city in the people

of new jersey do you know what she said? you have a choice you don't have to work here. you idiot? you want people to work here. you want people to come in and go to lunch and pay taxes. by the way we are still paying city taxes, you two live here, i don't. but i'm still paying. >> lawrence: that's right for employment. >> lawrence: i find it very elitist as well telling people they got to get on the subway when it's so dangerous on the subway. we watched a guy set a lady on fire and sit on a bench and just watch her burn, and people were passing by, didn't try to put it out. i mean, who wants to go on a subway for that? i just think it's wrong. >> ainsley: 15 minutes after the hour. los angeles mayor karen bass is blaming everyone but herself for taking her trip to africa while her city was burning to the grou. >> brian: how dare you let me go away. >> lawrence: she says she is going to investigate herself. chanley painter has the story. >> los angeles mayor karen bass still trying to mitigate the fallout of her much criticized

handling of the historic wildfires of l.a. she is now as lawrence said, apparently started an investigation into why she claims no one told her not to go on that infamous trip to ghana ahead of the deadly firestorm. watch. >> it was going to be very, very short trip. over a weekend and two business days. although there were warnings that i frankly wasn't aware of, although there were warnings, i think our preparation it wasn't what it typical is. >> what dliewm are warnings you weren't aware of. i know we were talking about it on the news. >> it didn't reach that level to me to say something terrible could happen and maybe you shouldn't have gone on the trip. >> why did it happen? >> i don't know. that's one of the things we need to look at. >> the fire department is responding sternly to the mayor's claims she was not warned say the department fumbled all standard operating procedures quote prior to the palisades fire the lafd eghild

separate media advisories, conducted multiple live and recorded media interviews about the predicted extreme fire weather and notified city officials about the upcoming weather event. the historic fires burned down entire neighborhoods for days, becoming the ninth deadliest and third most destructive wildfire on record in california, despite the blame came. the mayor who was in guana as part of the biden administration delegation, ultimately admitted taking the trip was a mistake and now she says she is working to regain the confidence of her constituents, guys. >> brian: all right. i'm totally flabbergasted, i thought the headline was from the onion. >> ainsley: i know. >> brian: thank you so much chanley. >> ainsley: los angeles fire department fired back as chanley was reporting. they released this. it's a statement. i highlighted some of it. it basically tells you you're kidding me, right, we warned everybody on january 6th the fire was on 1/7.

we followed our standard operating procedures. public he notifications and media advisories were made. coordinated with other city departments and elected officials. this is what they posted on x the day before the fire. lafd extreme fire danger with dangerous winds in l.a. mountains, foothills and valleys. tuesday morning to wednesday afternoon. then they had red flag parking restrictions at 8:00 a.m. the day of the fire. they shared a red flag status in an lafd alert. then they also sent out two emails for the media. for media advisories. >> lawrence: go ahead, bry. >> brian: all i can say is this is the worst example of leadership in the history of the nation. she is saying i did not know it was an emergency. i like it find out and investigate the people who told me to get on that plane and guana knowing this. it didn't get to my level. did it go to the spam folder? fires are beginning -- or potentially zeroing in on los angeles. wait a second, no one told me i was the los angeles mayor. and there is fires in los

angeles. next thing you know i'm in guana and i'm going to get on somebody. either you hired the worst staff ever, they took cable out of your office, you stopped using your iphone. you stuck on a flip phone. what could this investigation yield that would exonerate the mayor? >> lawrence: brian, you have to layer that on the fact that when she ran for mayor she said she wasn't going to take foreign trips. that's that the fire department said we don't have certain equipment. she still doesn't listen to them. they said we need to repair our vehicles. she cuts their budget. she did all of that, left them with no resources, and then she traveled when she said she wasn't. >> ainsley: stays on her trip and pictures of her at parties released. then she combs home and won't talk to those people at the airport. remember the people at the airport. it's serious because how many people lost their lives. how many people lost everything and she is the leader. she was supposed to be there. >> lawrence: she is going to investigate herself. maybe we will get an answer. >> brian: the worst, by the way. this is months later.

the worst crisis management ever, also, ric grenell is thinking about running for governor. whatever it is, this is -- i'm talking to people over there, they got get permission to scrape their property. >> lawrence: crazy. >> brian: okays to rebuild. they can't get it. they can't get access. everybody has different answers. so she still has not stepped up to streamline this situation. >> ainsley: they have to get permission, permits to scrape their property. >> brian: if you don't get the green go ahead. you can't scrape your own property. there might be toxic things there. >> ainsley: what they are going through we can't even ratch our head around it. get contracts, only x amount of contracts out there. having to rebuild many neighborhoods. >> brian: let's say green pass. then they get -- they lose their license. so, mr., you might be the most powerful actor in hollywood, but, you can't tell contractor to go against the city ordinance so, they sit there and say something has got to give and insurance companies who are not there to pay out.

they are there to litigate. so they want to sue you for everything. and if you can't produce how much contents you had in your house, exactly the place, they will just knock it off how much they owe. so this is a mess. remember, trump sat there and said why are they forced to wait? these people want to fix their stuff. why are they waiting? well we want to keep them safe. she still is struggling to do anything republican tia people of los angeles said is he too much like a businessman. we want someone with alaska experience and gumption. >> ainsley: he was in l.a. >> brian: is he probably going to run for governor. >> lawrence: carley has headlines. >> carley: yes. good morning to you guys. fbi kash patel will trump's nomination was one step close egg. he heads to a senate floor for a full confirmation vote it. comes as the health committee is now preparing to vote on the

nomination for linda mcmahon as education secretary. that is scheduled to take place later this morning. and some encouraging signs for pope francis as he spends a sent day in the hospital while undergoing treatment for double pneumonia. the vatican says the 88-year-old got out of bed this morning to eat breakfast and last night he received a visit from italian prime minister meloni. the pope reportedly joked about some people betting on his death. the prime minister saying he, quote: hasn't lost his proverbial sense of humor. and one of the latest tiktok trends sees people posting videos on social media making fun of their emergency contact. but kylie kelce is explaining why her husband, jason, is not hers. >> he gets so many random people calling him it is everyone sane how many people call him. dose not pick up a phone call unless it is somebody he knows. my emergency contact is my mom because if would ever call jason

he would pick up the phone without question. i have full faith. i would have it be jason if i thought he was going to answer the phone. >> carley: jason's new podcast posting this video of he and his brother travis following kylie's admission. and those your headlines, guys. everybody is talking about their emergency contacts. that's kind of funny. >> brian: i want to be saved. i know he won't pick up the phone i got to go to somebody else. >> ainsley: we were talking about this carley before the newscast and we were laughing about it because we said sound familiar? >> lawrence: yep. >> ainsley: do you think that dawn is brian's emergency contact? not a chance. >> carley: i will not speak. >> ainsley: who is her emergency contact? >> brian: even though my son is away at college, i think she would choose him. >> lawrence: 100 percent. >> carley: raising an responsible child. >> brian: kirsten who is a mile away. i don't know if i made the cut. we never discussed it.

>> ainsley: brian wouldn't pick up because he is working a, b, he will send you a text message. >> lawrence: gibberish. >> ainsley: broken sentences. >> carley: takes brian to respond to a text message which is true. if if it's about your show. >> brian: this is how you prepare for the show to ask about who my emergency contact is? >> lawrence: it was all organic we all thought and said what about brian? there is no way. >> brian: i'm going to text dawn and ask her. >> lawrence: okay. >> brian: am i your emergency contact? >> lawrence: listen, sean lives in florida. and he is mine because i know he would bring in like navy seals. [laughter] >> ainsley: mixed martial artist. he would come in with helicopters and swoop in if i were kidnapped. >> brian: he wouldn't do it, he would toss to a break and then call the navy. i'm just going to send.

>> lawrence: incredible. >> lawrence: be more like sean. >> brian: get a bracelet what would sean do. ww. >> ainsley: s. >> d. >> ainsley: is that sacrilegious? it's supposed to be what would jesus do? >> brian: i don't know that. >> lawrence: he really didn't know? >> brian: right. i didn't know. >> ainsley: only been around like 30 years, brian. lawrence the altar boy. [laughter] >> brian: i was asked by a few ushers to help. >> ainsley: with the offering plate? >> brian: with the drop bucket. >> ainsley: you all have b.a. baskets. i went to a catholic church one time so cute wooden baskets with long poles and shove it down the pew. >> brian: pay up. this isn't free, pal. these costumes don't grow on trees. >> lawrence: let's pay some bills. more "fox & friends" coming up.

housing and urban development task force uncovered $1.9 million misplaced funds and started cutting wasteful contracts. what is getting cut first secretary of housing and urban development turner. what do you have to tell our audience what you discovered 30 days in. >> thank you, brian. so great to be with you and the american people this morning. so we have found, as you said, $260 million in savings here at hud, working with our doge task force. but today we are announcing that we cut $4 million in dei contracts here at hud, which were supposed to be for culture transformation and mindset -- outward mindset thinking and will subscription services. we want to announce today we are working hard and we will cut $4 million in dei focus

contracts. this is money that should go to serve the american people and also time well spent to serve the people we are called to spent. dei here at hud is dead, brian. >> brian: true. that's one thing the president made clear when he ran for office and did it right away when he got. in the question i get from a lot of people. okay. now that you saved it i know it's in the department's interest to use that money and re-purpose it but maybe it's in the country's interest to save it. so, do you write a check to the federal -- to somebody else and say okay, take this money? do you take it out of your account that's allocated? how do you put that back into the system? >> well, that's a great question. in addition to this $260 million in savings, we also found $1.9 billion in misplaced funds. and those funds were supposed to be used for administrative services that help us carry out the services here at hud. and when you don't use those funds, they don't just go to the

next. you are supposed to notify the department of treasury that these funds are now available for other federal expenditure that did not happen. it was great mismanagement and intelligence over the past few years from the biden administration. now that we found $1.9 million, we can notify and we have the obligated these funds to answer your question so that the treasury department can use those for other federal expenditures for the american people. >> brian: and even paying down the debt. president trump signed executive order ending all taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants and agencies and departments who identify federally funded programs like you are doing. that is already impacting hud, correct? >> yes. and, you know, it's really common sense and under president trump's leadership, the hard earned money of american taxpayers, that money should go to serve the american people. and that's what we're going to do here at hud, to ensure that we're deliberate and detailed about the expenditures that we have to serve the american

people. >> brian: mr. secretary, i'm up against a break. real quick, the purchase of corporate housing by people like blackrock, really good investment for them but really not good for the american people. is there anything you are going to do to push that back and owning homes and having to go to a corporation? >> you know, brian here at hud we are laser focused on bringing down the cost of housing. regulation rogue gla tore reform here at hud both federally and in the state and local municipalities is a great focus for us why have to build more supply whether it comes to workforce and american housing. that's what we are focused on regulatory costs and getting our fiscal house in order. bringing inflation and interest rates down. that's our mission to have people achieve the american dream in home ownership. >> brian: such an important job you have. i know you know it. secretary scott turner, thanks

so much. >> all right. thank you. >> brian: you got it. save more money. there you go. exclusive just to "fox & friends." now. this a fox news alert. the bodies of four israeli hostages finally being returned home overnight, including those redheaded babies that became the face of the victims of the hamas terror attack. we'll tell you what we know. l'w you can start saving... —really? —really? at home or in-person. that's guidance from chase. after last month's massive solar flare added a 25th hour to the day, businesses are wondering "what should we do with it?" i'm thinking company wide power nap.

4 years old. their mother sherri realso coming home to israel in coffins. fox news contributor katie pavlich has been to israel since the attacks and joins us now. good morning to you, katie. >> good morning, ainsley. good to see. >> ainsley: good to see you, too. these were the most recognized victims of the hostage situation. their pictures were all over new york city. we were all praying for them. we found out this news. what was your reaction? >> it's a stark and terrible reminder why this war started on october 7th. you had not hamas terrorists, necessarily, kidnapping this beautiful family. but civilians who who when the gates were broken down by the terrorists they entered looking for looting opportunities and found this family and kidnapped them and took them back to the gaza strip and held them hostage for 500 plus days. if you look at the ages of these children, one of them is obviously a baby. one is a toddler.

their father, yarden, on the day of october 7th went out to fight to save his family. he was also taken hostage and released ahead of this horrific exchange. the israeli government is exchanging a number of convicted terrorists to get these -- this family back and their bodies back. and, of course, we don't want to show it. but hamas is doing their typical celebration and ceremony today acting like this is somehow an equal trade. and you have hundreds, if not thousands of palestinian civilians lining the streets in gaza cheering as this is going on. >> ainsley: hard to watch. >> katie: still a number of hostages still being held including an american hostage. president trump's middle east envoy steve witkoff will be back in israel at the end of the week to try to get him out of the gaza strip it. just really goes to show what you these barbaric terrorists are capable of and taking hostages in this way and killing them is a war crime. taking children hostage is also

a war crime and there should be consequences for it. >> ainsley: the man on the right side of the screen his name is oden, he is the fourth body who was brought back. he was 83 years old. i can't imagine what he went through at that age. his wife was released alive. the others on the screen that you see they were cheering and children of hamas they were cheering, too as the coffins were being given to the red cross and over to the military and now their bodies are in tel aviv and the family spoke out and said they really didn't want to comment more until the bodies are tested just to make sure they are identified. but, katie, this is three generations, because, shiri's parents were killed in their kivitz on october 7th. her husband was kidnapped. she comes back in a coffin and so do her two babies. and so that's three generations that have been lost because of evil. when you were there, when you were visiting, you saw their pictures hanging up in the airport, right? tell us about that. >> yeah, so, in the airport in

tel aviv, they have all of the photos of the hostages on posters. the bibas family they have their poster there's as well. you see that sherri and husband yarden on poster and children in the front. those posters come down when hostages are returned. these hostages, unfortunately will not be returned alive. yardson a widower and his children were murdered by this horrific act of barbarism and terrorism. i want to say something about oden as well the fourth hostage body is returned. he spent his life as an israeli peace activist driving gazans ttoand from israeli hospitals to help them. before and after the try having to a peaceful solution and living in peaceful existence. they employed palestinians to their homes. they drove them to hospitals for

medical care. they're repaid for good deeds by hamas terrorists and civilians storming their homes on october 7th. taking them hostage, murdering them, burning them alive and taking babies like the children into the gaza strip and returning them in a body bag. so, it really just goes to show the depraved nature of the way that these terrorists have behaved and a number of people inside of gaza who have been cheering this on for more than a year now. >> ainsley: sad to know israel had to terrorists in order to get these babies, bodies back, thank you so much, katie. more "fox & friends" coming up.

bioactive night trick oxide. this is why it is important. oral hygiene and systemic health the connection is microby up that live in our body. >> do you see the effects of this if i go on a run, am i going to see increased nitric oxide. if you go to the gym and do a 25 minute workout or yoga or something like that. >> so it's a gas. very difficult to detect. we can detect it in functional measurements when we look at flow media dal station. exercise stimulates the natural production of nitric oxide. that's why exercise is medicine. some people feel it of it. if your body can't. you can't you fatigue early. you can't dilate the blood vessels of the coronary. people get exertional angina. >> lawrence: if i don't want to exercise and eat the greeny stuff, what can i do to get the production and a half nitric oxide.
