didn't match the murder victim and didn't match others in the home and they'll zero in on that and try to determine what the other blood samples were pertaining to and say that's the alleged killer not bryan kohberger. that's pretty much the way they'll have to do because at this point tying the sheath to bryan kohberger through the dna testing and it was found in the garbage. you don't have a proprietary interest in garbage that you've discarded on the street. that's the biggest challenge to that. bryan: thank you for the breakdown for that. thanks for watching everyone back at home. i'm bryan llenas, fox news live continues with our own mike iemanuel right now. stay with us. >> six israeli hostages have been released today as phase one of a fragile cease-fire

comes to an end, setting up a feature as phase two begin. tensions were high other the dispute over the body of the mother shiri bibas. we'll take you to tel aviv. and president trump announcing a after a leadership shake-up at the pentagon. i'm mike emanuel. the president is expected is at cpac this afternoon and expected to touch on many topics after his first month in office. and live in national harbor, maryland. hello, lucas. >> good afternoon, mike. there was a friday night massacre at the pentagon, president trump sacking the joint chief of staff, air force

general cq brown replacing him with a retired three-star officer, as you mentioned general raising cain. and you see general cq brown also been fired along with a top officer lisa franchetti, and the top jag officers, the top lawyers for all of the armed forces and president trump calling on some change with doge, asking elon musk to step it up. i believe we have his truth social post and mike, we can put that up. the president saying that elon is doing a great job and i would like to see him get more aggressive. remember, we have a country to save, but ultimately to make greater than ever before. maga, he said see you at cpac today, big crowd. president trump signing an executive order barring illegal immigrants from funding benefits. part of the text, my administration will uphold the

rule of law and defend against the waste and hard earned taxpayer resources and protect for american citizens with needs, including with disabilities and veterans. yesterday president trump hosted governorses across the country at the white house. and he handed pam bondi a list of social security numbers that he and his doge team think are fraudulent. >> says they're 110 years older than the country. here, pam. you better take a look at this. much better for you than for me. now the question is, are they getting paid? and what a convenient thing, this is so nice. >> the president weighing in on current negotiations trying to end russia's war with ukraine. >> president trump and president zelenskyy are going to have to get together because you know what? we want to stop killing

millions of people. i want to get the deal done. and i think we have a chance to get the deal done. we had to make sure that russia wanted to do it. >> so far today at cpac. sarah huckabee sanders. and another is expected to meet with president trump before the one in ukraine. >> mark levine's remarks. >> there you go. lucas, thanks for the play by play. see you later. more more on the budget and doge, let's bring in florida congressman co-chair aaron beam. >> good to be with you. >> let's talk about it, the senate is going its own way.

how is progress coming in the house? >> well, first of all, i understand why they're acting so fast. they're getting impatient as is the american people getting impatient, but, mike, everyone knows a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down and so that's why one big beautiful bill is the right answer because it combines the sugar that every legislature, republican legislature wants to vote for with border and doing great things there with the medicine which is very difficult, it's going to be yucky, that's our redoing tax policy. when you combine the sugar and medicine together, it's something that we all can agree on, will agree on and it's the art of compromise. so that's why one, big beautiful bill is hopefully the right answer. and schumer is negotiating with

thune right now. it's in the house it's so razor thin. stay tuned, it might take longer than everyone wants. >> they're getting an earful back home. let's play it and i'll get you to react. >> it's raising in the white house, and what are you doing to rein in the megalomaniac in the white house? [cheers] >> when you talk with tyranny, when you talk about presidential power, i remember having the same discussion with republicans when biden was elected. >> as doge caucus co-chair, what's your advice to your colleagues? >> first of all, that's my good friend, rich mccormick.

i think that democrats across america are protesting and calling in. we just had a protest in northeast florida led by the local democrats that are upset, but let me tell you who is dancing in the streets and they're working so you don't see them coming to midday town halls and that's the american taxpayer, the people working, paying the bills are saying go, doge, go. go, elon, find out this yucky, horrible spending that we're still shocked of all the things that we are spending money, are spending our money on and i salute the president, go elon, let's take it up a notch. let's find that yucky spending and cut it out. >> there's been some talk about taking some of doge savings and send it to americans. and house speaker mike johnson says with the deficit growing every day. >> the right answer, we need to pay it all down on the debt.

when you've got money out there, hey, i'll take a shot of it, everybody says. the right answer is paying down debt. that's what we need to do. we're in trouble and adding a trillion dollars in debt every 100 days, let's pay down the debt and let's take advantage of it, but go, elon, more money saved is more money than we can hopefully take a stab at it and start paying down our debt. we haven't done it in 30 years. >> congressman, we're nearly out of time. president trump is talking about merging the post office with the commerce department. your thoughts? >> an idea worth exploring, the post office is on an unsustainable path of losing billions every year. and their idea keep raising and hang on. we've got to do something different, mike, hopefully this will spawn a conversation. they're not doing that well customer satisfaction either. let's do it different. i absolute the president for starting conversation, but we can do better and make the post office great again. >> doge caucus co-chair, aaron

bean, the great state of florida, have a great time this wee weekend. >> it will be wonderful, mike, thank you. >> six hostages are free as the first phase of the cease-fire in gaza is coming to an end. benjamin netanyahu holding a security assessment today and reporting israeli will not release the palestinian prisoners intended to be exchanged for the six hostages until the end of this assessment. senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot is live in tel aviv with the latest. hello, greg. >> yeah, the last living hostages set for release in phase one of the israeli-hamas cease-fire agreement are now out. first emerging from captivity, tal shoham, snatched on october 7th day. and avera mengistu held off crossing into gaza 10 years ago. militants putting on propaganda display before the handover to

red cross. next, three israelis in their 20's, eliya cohen, omer shem tov, and omer wenkert. grabbed by hamas at the music festival on that same terrible day. in a terrorist photo opportunity at another gaza location, all looked thinner and showed some signs of illness endured. as well as 36-year-old hisham al-sayed released, having also been held captive for a decade after he, too, crossed into gaza. the freed hostages, mike, were brought to the idf and israel can choppered to a hospital in tel aviv reunited with close families, and one of the younger hostages said he fancied is burger. set for these after the security meeting tonight, 600 palestinian prisoners. across this day, people celebrated amid sadness four more deceased hostages are planned for the coming week and

after that some 60 alive and dead will still be held by hamas. as the body of shiri bibas, the mother of two young sons, symbols of this hostage terror has now been handed over for hamas. an unknown woman had been brought back with the children earlier. the bibas family saying, shiri was returned home. mike, the decisive second phase of the cease-fire agreement was supposed to start next weekend, but talks regarding this have barely begun. a lot is at stake, a lot of lives at risk. back to you. >> we'll follow it all. greg palkot live in tel aviv. greg, many thanks. >> u.s. special envoy general keith kellogg is back from ukraine after positive meetings with president zelenskyy this week. a minerals deal was part of the discussions as the united states seeks compensation for the help provided to ukraine throughout the war. alex hogan is live in kyiv with

more. >> hi, mike. what we're hearing from sources telling fox, ukrainians have sent this deal and this agreement back to americans with suggestions. this is a deal that would trade ukraine's rare earth minerals for continued military support from the united states. what we've seen just in the last couple of days, president trump's envoy to ukraine, lieutenant general keith kellogg left last night after several days of meetings with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy came on the heels of u.s. and russian negotiations. ukrainians are arguing, accepting a deal that will benefit russia will accepted the wrong global message. >> this fight is for the president, that in 21st century, one country can annex the territory of another one, commit all kinds of war crimes and just get away with it. so, i think authoritarian regimes are watching closely at what president trump is doing and i think he needs to show

them strength. >> monday will mark three years since russia's full invasion of ukraine and ukrainians are already mourning this grim milestone. >> three years of hell. we lost a lot of our dear people, our husbands. >> i feel a deep sense of grieve that so many ukrainians have given their lives. >> i start crying, all those guys, their faces, i start crying. i feel so sorry for them. >> president trump is expected to meet poland's president, andrzej duda, in about an hour's time to continue the ongoing discussions about the war, mike. >> alex hogan live in kyiv. alex, thank you very much. for more on this, let's bring in today's foreign policy panel, foundation for the defense of democracy, and a

global defense. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> great having you. president trump talked about wanting to get a minerals deal with ukraine. let's play him. >> how close are you to striking a minerals deal? >> i think we're pretty close, i think they want it, they feel good about it and it's significant. it's a big deal, but they want it and it keeps us in their country and they're very happy about it. but we get our money back. this should have been signed long before we went in. this should have been signed by biden, but biden didn't know too much of about what he's doing. >> how critical is that in terms of progress on ukraine, mark? >> look, i think it's critical. china controls the vast majority of critical minerals in the world. essential to our military technology, our commercial technology, so i think it's an important move. let's keep ukraine's critical minerals out of the hands of

putin and china, and i think it's at minimum, something we should be getting in turn. >> president trump wants president putin and president zelenskyy to get to the table. how does that play out? >> what's interesting is that the peace negotiations between these two will, in fact, it looks like it will be brokered here in the region in the middle east. saudi arabia has emerged as sort of a neutral territory, mohammad bin saladin, a couple years ago, persona nongrata, has been a peace making figure. and officials met in riyadh this week and this is the first meeting of washington and kremlin officials to discuss ukraine, ukrainian and russian peace since the start of the war. i mean, three years ago when the war broke out you and i were running around capitol

hill as capitol hill correspondents wondering whether putin was going to actually invade. s didn't think he actually would and he, in fact, has. a lot of those senators that we were speaking to did not have -- basically said that putin is a gangster. senator kennedy was one of these people and he's now a republican senator sounding the alarm about some of donald trump's administration's rhetoric, particularly trump's rhetoric towards zelenskyy, saying that he is a dictator. >> to the conflict in the middle east, six hostages returned home today and phase two of the agreement is next. mark what are your expectations? >> pretty low, mike. i think at the end of the day, i think that israelis have woken up to reality after october 7th and especially recently with this brutal murder of these young bibas children, that there is no opportunity with palestinians. there is no palestinian state. there is no two-state solution so they're going to negotiate to get as many hostages back, but the reality is, israel's

going to have to go back to gaza and destroy hamas. there's no peace, there's no security as long as hamas rules gaza and israelis have woken up to the reality there will be no palestinian state in the decades and years to come, this is a population so radicalized by a commitment to the murder of jewish children rather than a commitment to a better life for their own children. >> you're in the region, what do you pick up from the cease-fire and the saber rattling from tehran? >> it was expected that the iranian regime would start saber rattling this weekend in lebanon, the funeral of the hezbollah leader who was assassinated and at the same time, the iranian regime is very weak right now. their economy is crumbling and their people are against them and you know, conveniently whenever that seems to be the case they end up arresting a journalist or tourist, the

latest being british motorcyclists who have now been arrested and charged with espionage. they're looking for potential injection and ransom from their home country, which has seen as a trend in the past. it's unsurprising will the iranians would be piping in saying they're going to level tel aviv because it looks like the second phase of the cease-fire is in jeopardy. i mean, i will say that one of the videos that's going around here in the region, that's being shared as a sort of point of almost peace, i would say, is the video of one of the hostages who was released today kissing the forehead of the hamas fighter, which is supposed to be an indicator of peace, but we know that that's not the case. i think that the arab leaders are in a really tricky situation right now. i think that donald trump would love for saudi arabia and israel to be the custodian of the region and not have to deal with the middle east anymore and be able to actually pivot

to asia, china and the situation that could arise in taiwan, but i think we're still far away from that, however, trump has sort of forced the arab leaders into making a decision and we haven't seen the political structure here be so galvanized in a long time around coming up with an actual solution to what to do about gaza. >> thank you both. a great segment and appreciate you both for coming in. >> thank you. >> suspected-- suspect, luigi mangione was surrounded by throngs in new york city. >>. so you can get back to your monster to-do list. super helpful. see if you can save money at progressivecommercial.com. thank you. you don't hurt cause you're old.

>> los angeles mayor karen bass has removed fire chief christian crowley, refusing to admit an after action report on the recent fires. crowley made headlines when she was pressed by reporters saying that the city cut funds when needed. and reported that gavin newsom asked for $40 billion in public aid. some argue any assistance should come with strict guardrails. the first court appearance for

luigi mangione drew large crowds of supporters who lined the streets and cheered yesterday. accused of gunning down united health care ceo brian thompson in new york city. cb cotton has the latest. >> friday's hearing was for the state charges that mangione faces. in the nearly three months since the shooting of brian thom thompson support for mangione seems to have grown. >> if brian thompson was my dad, i honestly wouldn't care about his funeral because he is the reason why he denied so many people or you know, unalive so many people from denying their coverages. >> so friday's hearing only lasted 10 minutes. the defense and prosecution gave an update on the evidence in the case. and prosecutors say they've

turned over more than 800 gigabytes of evidence, body camera and dna testing. the prosecutor attorney rattled off a series of concerns to the judge saying they are client has been robbed of his presumption of innocence with shackles and handcuffs and claimed that mangione's constitutional rights were violated when the officers took him into custody in pennsylvania and she called it shocking to watch a current h.b.o. documentary that aired just this week where the mayor and n.y.p.d. detectives were featured talking about evidence that she claims the defense has not seen. >> it's outrageous that they have time to go and prejudice mr. mangione's ability to receive a fair trial and go out and make the statements, but not give this to us. >> and also thanked supporters

on mangione's behalf. a trial date has not opinion set, but he's due back in court on mid march on federal charges with prosecutors still weighing the death penalty. mike: cb cotton, thanks very much. the new losses district attorney asked the court to deny the menendez brothers a new trial, claiming the evidence does not meet the necessary standards. christina coleman has more. >> the d.a. effectively poured water on one of the three ways for the brothers to get out of prison. the defense attorneys filed a petition in may of 2023 seeking a new trial for eric and lyle menendez. their attorneys argue that new evidence corroborating their sexual abuse claims should be considered by the court. the lawyers said the new evidence included a 1988 letter that eric sent to his cousin months before the brothers

killed their parents. in the letter, eric says he had been sexually abused my his father and includes allegations made by another man who said he had been sexually assaulted by their dad. yesterday, los angeles d.a. hoffman announced his office opposes the motion filed for a new trial, based on this information. hoffman shared his doubt on the new evidence. >> is this credible evidence? we argue in many different ways it is not credible evidence. if this letter truly existed, the defense counsel would have absolutely used it at the trial and it would have helped corroborate both eric menendez's testimony about sexual abecause. >> a family-led initiative advocating a new trial, they say we're profounding

disappointed by the remarks which he effectively tore up new evidence and discredited the trauma they experienced to suggest the years of abuse couldn't have led to the tragedy of 1989 is dangerous, abuse does not exist in a vacuums and traps victims in trauma. and they've served 30 years of the sentence so far and they'll address the resentencing of the brothers in two, two and a half weeks and based on time that they've served could lead to their reduce. the governor could still grant the brothers clemency, so they still have two more ways to get out of prison and we'll see what happens next with this very high profile case. mike: christina coleman live in l.a. and the president clashes with the governor of maine on

>> president trump clashing with maine's democratic governor janet mills, as the state reportedly denies the bill, and now they're looking at the policies. madeleine rivera is here with more. >> hi, mike. president trump was having a meeting with bipartisan group of governors and called out governor janet mills for not complying with his executive order on banning transgender athletes. >> are you going to comply with that. >> i'll comply with state and federal law. >> we are the federal law. you better do it because you're not going to get federal funding if you don't. and your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, even though i did well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports so you better comply otherwise

you're not getting any federal funding. >> see you in court. >> shortly after that back and forth, the education and health and human services department says they're investigating maine's department of education for potentially violating title ix. the trump administration is miffed by that, they argue that state law doesn't override federal law. and the governor says no republican or democrat can stop federal law, it is a violation of our constitution and our laws, which i took an oath to uphold. hanging in the balance is potentially about $200 million in federal funds that maine's education department is set to receive this fiscal year. mike: we'll see who blinks first. thanks a lot. >> you've got it. >> for more on this, let's bring in constitutional

attorney mark smith. welcome. >> hi, mike. mike: let's start with maine. the department of education saying to maine, let's be clear, if maine wants to continue to receive federal funds from the education department it has to follow title ix. if it wants to forego title ix and trample the rights of its female athletes, that's its choice. and they'll make sure that taxpayers are not funding blatant civil rights violators. how does this play out, mark? >> i think in the end president trump has the better argument. because he has the united states constitution on his side. the u.s. constitution specifically has what's called the supremacy clause that says to the extent there's a conflict between federal law which could include federal regulations by way, mike, and state law, you have to follow the federal law and that was the point that president trump was making yesterday. to the extent that there's a violation of title ix, let's say, by the state of maine, then all sorts of recourses are available to the federal government and by the way,

mike, historically it's not unusual for the federal government to threaten or actually withhold funds from states that don't do kind of what the federal government would like them to do. there are rules about the federal government cannot make a state do something, but that doesn't mean that the federal government doesn't have the authority to try to create a stick and carrot situation with federal funding and we saw that, for example, for raising the minimum drinking age to 21 and we saw that with the highway funds that didn't go along with that policy. mike: kash patel sworn in to 010-year team. >> i know the media is here, if you have a target, the target is right here. it's not the men and women of the fbi. you've written everything you can about me that's fake, malicious and defamatory, keep that coming on, leave the men and women of the fbi out of it, they deserve better.

mike: how do you expect he'll do? >> he's demonstrated his long history of government service to be effective and he's going to be effective in two areas, work hard to reform the fbi and laser focus on what the doj says is their priority laser focus on violent, dangerous criminals and in the biden administration targeting trump supporters, really, i think that's great in things of reforming the fbi. i think we're going to see great external impact, for example, the eric adams case, the decision to drop the eric adams case which needless to say looks a little sketchy from a lot of point's point of view. and we want to focus on violent criminals. late at night when people are walking home, they're worried about the violent cartels, gang members and drugs and people that traffic in drugs and that's what they're concerned about. it's not the political warfare

or i should say law fare that the biden administration was worried about. and i think that kash patel and the department are going to be about anti-law fare and making sure the government isn't coming down on ordinary citizen's heads unless they're engaged in violent activities, and then carb kash patel will step up. >> and doge, recent reactions to doge playing out in court. is there a reason for courts to potentially shut down aspects of doge, mark? >> no, i think really a lot of these court cases are a form of virtue signaling, they're really a public relations campaign to try to go after the trump administration. i think at the end of the day, i don't think this is a very strong argument that doge is unconstitutional or illegal. this is an agency or a group of-- this is an entity, if you will, that was created by barack

obama. it's been running ever since, it's just been renamed and repurposed and all it does, it investigates, reports, recommends to the president of the united states and to the cabinet officials what they're uncovering and at the end of the day, the decision maker, whether it be the president of the united states or the head of a particular, you know, a head of a particular agency. they make the decision whether or not to act on the recommendations of doge. doge is not making independence decisions, they're reporting and recommending, there's nothing wrong with that, under the constitution, doge is helping the executive branch do the president's job and the executive branch's job and the decision makers are the ones that we elected in november and they're the ones making the decisions and doge is not making the decisions, they're providing decisions to the decision makers, and nothing constitutional or problematic about doing that. mike: thanks for your analysis today. >> thanks, mike. mike: a jury in new york needed just two hours to convict a suspect of trying to kill award

uga has been actively taking steps to protect students, 23 emergency call boxes all with security cameras and a direct line to police. 3,000 feet of security fencing around uga. a beefed up campus police force and more. the university plans to expand on all of these new measures and many students say they notice and can feel the changes. >> i think they've definitely put a lot of effort to make it feel safer. >> it feels better and obviously more conscious of what's going on. >> riley's case quickly became a center point for the national immigration debate, especially in this past election. it led to president trump signing the first bill of the new administration in her honor. the laken riley act had bipartisan support and requires federal officials to detain any migrant charged with crimes like shoplifting, assault, or any crime that causes death or serious injury. and this week, the new law was reportedly used to deport an

undocumented migrant in indiana. authorities say guatemalan citizen, domingo killed a 27-year-old in a car crash last year when driving without a license and local officials are praising the laken riley act with his deportation and the family created the laken foundation, promoting safety for women and to prepare them if they're ever in danger. mike: a great cause. thank you very much. how doge could affect the future of health care here in the united states and the future of the maha movement. that's next. — more easily. it's the only smart base that features our exclusive soundscape mode™... that synchronizes a gentle massage, with relaxing sounds... to help you drift, peacefully, off to sleep.

coating this. this cuts will kill more americans. mike: democrats sounding the alarm on doge and budget cuts, saying it will threaten americans' health and safety while president trump has doubled down on not touching medicaid. >> thank you for having me. mike: you work in the health care industry. what about doge and some cuts? >> yes, it's a debated topic these days. you know, mike, in 2000 our national debt was $5 trillion. today 25 years later, it's at 36 trillion dollars and no one has really had a sense of urgency to try to address this up until now and it's not really even an economic issue. it's really an injustice for our future generations. mike: correct. >> so i'm all about this being addressed, looked into, but we have to be careful not to, you know, directly negatively impact patient care and public

health. mike: some senate democrats are upset saying, medicare and medicaid must not be raided to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. every cuts risks americans waiting longer and wading through insurance red tape for care and hospitals and health communities struggling and having them out of their jobs. have you seen waste and fraud in these programs? >> i definitely have. i have a private practice and i want to bring this up. there was a paper published in the american journal of public health a landmark study about this, that hundreds of billions of dollars annually are being wasted and you know, to no good use. so in my practice, for example, the administrative costs for every one hour of patient care that i do, there are two hours that we have to spend on administrative tasks like calling insurance companies for five hours or doing prior authorizations, completely inefficient. the next part, waste fraud and abuse, i have to train my

medical assistance who sort through faxes where they want me to sign off on medical devices, walkers and canes and reach out to the patient, hey, did you order these? the answer is almost always no. this is a small snapshot of my practice. mike: some have raised the concern of research impacted at nih. what about that? >> nih conducts world research and we want to maintain our number one status. the cuts at nih are targeting indirect costs. nih grant institutions across the u.s. a certain amount of funding to do their research. private institutions do the same thing. now, the difference here is that the indirect overhead costs that the nih grants support, they can be anywhere from 25 to 60% of that total grant money, whereas the bill and melinda gates foundation, for example, that also give

these grants, cap their indirect costs at 15%. so, president trump's team is saying, you know, why is there this discrepancy? how can we lower our overhead so we can actually put more taxpayer money to supporting direct overhead, direct scientific research. mike: keep that up, dr. te tehrani, the doge people are going to call you on the phone. thank you for your analysis today. >> thanks for having me. mike: a pleasure. a polar vortex losing its grip across the eastern half of the country as temperatures are set to rise. adam klotz is tracking the nation's forecast from the fox weather center. hello, adam. >> yeah, mike, this is the forecast i love to give. it's been so cold the last week. we're beginning to see some changes. these numbers don't look all that impressive right now, but we remember a couple of days ago, a place like bismarck, negative 39 degrees by tuesday morning. by the time we get to monday afternoon, knocking on the door of 50.

you're talking nearly a 90 degree swing, almost unheard of if that amount of time. that's fairly widespread. this is taking you back to wednesday morning. a lot of folks remember how chilly it was when you wake up this morning. so far today, already a big change, but we're going to continue to see this heat build here the next couple of days. by the time you get into sunday, by the time you get to monday, a whole lot of places we're dealing with, absolutely frigid temperatures are closer to 50 degrees. once we hit that 50 degree mark it's going to linger for a couple of days. much warmer weather ultimately is on the way and that's good news for a whole lot of these areas. now, the other story, if you look further into the future. you're like, is this going to stick with us? this is the long range forecast, and generally, we're looking at warmer weather we've seen so far on the bottom third of the country and up and down the east coast. if you're enjoying the warmer weather it's perhaps going to stick around for a little while. and leave you with rain across the country, fairly clear and spot where folks are dealing with it, and people are going to deal with it.
