his wife were found yesterday. sheriff says no indication of foul play, their dog also found dead. >> hackman has lived in sante feand been retired from acting after starring in "french connection," "unforgiven," and "hoosiers." >> todd: you are watch ing "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. we'll have more into hackman's death and his storied career. >> todd: uk prime minister keir starmer will meet with president trump today to maintain relations with the u.s. >> carley: lucas tomlinson has more. good morning, lucas.

>> lucas: first macron was at the white house on monday and now britain's turn. prime minister keir starmer arrived in washington. last week he said he was willing to boost defense spending and wants u.s. guarantee to deter russia. >> my message is we want to work with you, welcome you to britain. we want a new partnership because our history shows that when we work together, great things happen. >> lucas: the visit is one day before president meets ukraine president zelenskyy on friday to sign mineral rights deal. here is trump in his first cabinet meeting yesterday. >> president trump: doing very well with russia-ukraine. president zelenskyy is going to be coming on friday, that is now confirmed and we'll be signing an agreement, which will be a

very big agreement. the deal we are making brings us great wealth, we get back money we spent and hope we'll be able to settle this up. >> lucas: trump took questions from the press for an hour. >> president trump: impressed with everybody so far. if i wasn't in first month, some of them just got here, approved two days ago, right? i think i'm impresed with everybody, very happy with all choices. >> lucas: genetwork ehackman would say, on the floor. kremlin says it opposes peacekeepers to end the war on hold. >> todd: lucas tomlinson, thank you. rebecca grant, military analyst and international relations expert, joins us now. despite pressure from zelenskyy and european leaders like keir starmer for this "security

guarantee," trump is sticking to his gun of the u.s. no longer being the world's police. >> well, but the u.s. still does have to be the leader and i see trump leading in a new way, cutting this mineral deal with ukraine. this is very clever, very -- we will get money back. it shows putin that ukraine will be working with the u.s. and with the west. it's a kg move by trump. >> carley: the meeting today with british prime minister and friday is a big one when zelenskyy comes to washington, after they had a public argument. what are your expectations there, as well? >> momentous week with keir starmer, britain agreed to increase defense spending a little bit. trump needs to make sure keir starmer is in our camp, britain has been forward with weapons

and authorization risations for ukraine. zelenskyy, that is the big one. there is slightly different objective, zelenskyy is coming to sign this mineral deal, he proposed it in the first place, also to do negotiating. zelenskyy wants a strong relationship with the u.s. >> carley: the rare earth deal, we don't know a lots, wall st. journal says it is a fund coowned by the united states and ukraine with profits shared evenly, which is interesting. how significant would this deal be for the future of the united states? >> it could be good for us. china controls so much rare earth processing, we want a source. we don't want china to get in there and get it. this is deal toward reconstruction and a clever and cagey move in this delicate

process of getting peace in ukraine. >> todd: hegseth said no boots on the ground. when all said and done, how far does trump go? what does trump agree to do when it comes to u.s. men and women in uniform in and around the region? will he say, you can go 300 miles from ukraine? you can be generally in upper yoo, like we have for years? how far to the line does trump end up going? >> we have men and women engaged there already. we have 10,000 forces in poland, we will not see u.s. forces in ukraine on the ground. zelenskyy has never asked for that. nato air power and help watching over the black sea is in and around the nato alliance. u.s. is big part of security in europe, only thing to do as long as putin is in power. >> carley: ahead of the cabinet meeting yesterday, tariffs on

china and mexico, canada, mexico, european union and declined to say how he would respond if china invades taiwan. world leaders were watching this, as well as the american people. out of all president trump said yesterday, what stood out most? >> remark on taiwan. president trump is so confident and clever, he will not wade into that. he will leave xi jinping on the seat of his chair. trump is taking the world stage and using all aspects of american power, and bringing us back to world leadership position that was absent for so long. >> carley: hamas released bodies of four israeli hostages, completes lease of all 33 hostages said to be released in the first phase. now that leaves phase two. there are 23 living hostages still in gaza, 59 all together.

getting them out will be a challenge. >> yes, one is an american. phase one ends. phase two is supposed to be the end of the war, this is the really tricky part, there will be substantive differences, israel still has military pressure if they need to bring it into play. if we get phase two, then comes phase three, where president trump talked about reconstruction in gaza. expect tense negotiation going forward. u.s. holds all the cards, hamas just needs to agree. >> carley: and steve witkoff is expected to travel to the region potentially on sunday. he's going to be on "fox and friends" later this morning, interview you don't want to miss as well as your interview with us, dr. rebecca grant. thank you for joining us. fox news alert. dozens of anti-israel protesters

they exist. >> i don't think i'm ruling anything out. the commander-in-chief with my consultation and chairman and others will make those determinations, nothing is off the table. >> todd: shortly after laura ingraham arrives, they transported nine detainees. and migrants trying to flee a business during a work-place raid. a large group of migrants started running out. migrants were from mexico, guatemala and honduras. >> carley: some counties taking matters into their own hand and helping ice deport criminal migrants to keep residents safe. nassau is siding with the federal government and sam getz joins me now. kathy hochul is not playing ball with donald trump or ice, but

nassau county is. tell us how. >> thank you for having me. first, this administration, first thing blakeman did in 2022 was sign executive order that said nassau county is not a sanctuary county. his position has been clear from the start. we have partnered with u.s. customs enforcement to designate 10 detectives to work with ice and to carry out targeted enforcement and then we've also in conjunction with that, held off 50 beds at nassau county facility to hold detainees while they are processed through federal law, immigration, whatever ice is going to do. we provide them opportunity to detain them in our facility. >> carley: has kathy hochul

expressed opposition to partnering with ice? >> i have not heard some, my guess would be yes, i have not specifically heard anything. >> carley: battling ae ms-13 fo years. a honduran national raped a young girl and cut ankle monitors off with burglary tools. serious crimes is a major motivating factor for you doing what you are doing. >> absolutely. in new york state, we have laws that prevent criminals from being detained. we have lost judicial discretion and release criminals back to the streets to reoffend. this is way to fight back in way we can by using federal partners and making sure dangerous criminals are not released.

nassau county was rated -- we are doing everything we can to remain the safest county. >> carley: it is a sanctuary state, meaning police can't coordinate and work with ice. how much more difficult does that status make it for you to get criminals out of your county? >> it definitely poses challenges, lawsuits and things like that continually come down from albany, the federal government preempts state law, we will work with ice. when you partner with the federal government like what we're doing now, they designate 10 detectives have same authority as ice, they are operating as ice agents in conjunction with their detective duties. they have power to make arrests of those illegally here. if they have a judicial warrant or something to indicate they

are illegally here and committed a crime, we are now able to detain them. >> carley: since president trump took office there has been 626% increase in arrests and migrants are deported to mexico's interior deep into the country closer to guatemala to make it more difficult to get back into the united states. ice is doing all they can, and so are, thank you for joining us. fox weather meteorologist britta merwins here. >> have you enjoyed the warm up? >> todd: amazing. >> such a large improvement. last week polar vortex, this week, nice spring fling. on the east coast, low 40s for new york. louisville, 50. houston in the low 60s. today is another mild day. afternoon temperatures soaring

to the 70s and warm-up continues through saturday. weather systems are crossing great lakes into northeast, clippers bringing batch of rain and snow for mountains of northern england good for new hampshire and vermont. it is lake effect snow where we'll see snow. big 95 corridor, from time to time pulling out our umbrellas. it will bring back arctic air and be chilly, nothing we can't handle for boston. talking about two days of temperatures in the 30s and then we warm back up. we bring in march and march is beginning of severe weather season. this came down from the storm prediction center. they will upgrade to three out of five alert. we could have an outbreak next tuesday into thursday morning.

>> todd: house lawmakers turning attention to funding government without help from democrats after passing their budget bill with only republican support. house appropriations chairs budget bill vote demonstrated we can do things on our own. rich mccormick joins me now. can speaker johnson hold together republicans, of course thomas massie notwithstanding. >> i think so. a lot of people will not be happy with the fiscal constraints there still will be too much spending, i will not be happy with it. if we don't pass it together in the republican party, we'll have a democrat-run bill and that won't be good for anybody. with only three-vote majority and in this case two-vote majority, we will get the best

we can get out of this. >> todd: there is battle between status quo in washington and on the other side, perfect being enemy of good. american people need the good and do something about 36, going on 37 trillion in debt. other major news made yesterday at the cabinet meeting, president trump and defense secretary hegseth saying this about the afghanistan withdrawal. >> president trump: that is a great idea, i will not tell this man what to do. if i had his place, i would fire every single one of them, pete, very good question. >> question we have thought about, doing a complete review of what happened with the botched withdrawal of afghanistan and plan to have full accountability. >> todd: president trump saying every individual associated with the botched afghanistan

withdrawal should be fired. hegseth saying there should be maximum accountability. your responsesa a marine? >> i spent 2016 there as head of emergency medicine in kandahar. it is near and dear to my heart. i saw good friends go and i hated that. withdrawal from afghanistan was a gut punch. the commander-in-chief was fired, biden is now gone, we have a new secretary and no joint chief of staff. milley was pardoned by the president, if i'm not mistaken. i want to take a slow roll on the rest. we had a lot of officers openly defiant and said we don't want things run the way this happened, take that into account

when we do a review. that has been looked at in committees, i hope they take a good look at those. >> todd: important point. trump signing executive order giving more power to doge to scrutinize government payment and travel expenses. elon musk attended yesterday's first cabinet hearing and stressed importance of doge. watch. >> the overall thought with doge team is to address steps we cannot sustain as a country 2 trillion deficit. interest rates, just interest on national debt exceeds defense department spending. we spent a lot on defense department and trillion on interest. if this continues, the country will become de facto bankrupt. >> todd: people confronted you about doge, they were not all activists. how do you navigate the need for

doge, which we need, we cannot continue down this path as elon musk just said. how do you navigate that need with what your constituents told you at that meeting? >> i think everybody realizes we are spending a lot of money we shouldn't. unreal expenses, that is just tip of the iceberg, it will affect jobs, you are talking about laying off people in government, government is too large. we have to be careful about messaging, the town hall hit hard on some people. most were democrats, no doubt about it. there are some people who are republicans and good americans who work for the government and they have been taken by surprise. we should not be celebrating that, it is not willy-nilly, we have to understand these are people with mortgages and children and house payments and things they need to pay for. we have to be compassionate.

when i met elon musk the first time, before he was political he says americans could come across as more compassionate. we are doing this for the future of america, future families in america, for our children. it is not about celebrating people losing their jobs. >> todd: that is a crucial point, i have spoken with a number of red-hat wearing trump supporters, who want every part of his agenda, they don't like the messaging coming out of doge or the confusion coming out of doge. i think we can accomplish doge's mission, which is saving our country fiscally without some of the extraneous stuff. we'll leave it there. congressman rich mccormick, appreciate your time. thank you, sir. >> todd: a fox news alert. legendary actor gene hackman and

his wife and dog were found dead after they were found inn responsive yesterday. sheriff says no immediate sign of foul play. >> todd: news is breaking overnight. here is cheryl casone with what we know now. >> cheryl: we are working on details. he had moved to sante fe, new mexico, he was 95 years old. found with body of his wife betsy arakawa, classical p piannist. the dog, it is unclear if officers responded to welfare check or if someone found them. we have confirmation from the sheriff overnight. really quick, anyone will have a favorite gene hackman movie, here he is from the classic film "hoosiers." >> what is the matter with you?

>> i'll make it. >> honey, get the -- the floor, let's go. >> cheryl: the sheriff's office put out a statement, saying foul play is not suspected at this time. exact cause of death has not been determined. this is active, ongoing investigation. they lived in a gated community northeast of sante fe. he is survived by his three children with his first wife, they were married for 30 years. investigation is ongoing. the sheriff told the sante fenew mexico can, i want to ensure there is no immediate danger to anybody. as far as gene hackman, he had not been seen in past few years.

he was photographed at wendy's in 2023. two oscars, four golden globes, "french connection," lex luther, bonnie and clyde, "unforgiven." a lot of questions about what happened to this family. >> carley: two deaths of people and one dog and no expectation or thought of foul play, your mind goes to potentially carbon monoxide poisoning. quote from robyn williams, gene hackman is an actors actor, in my house he is a comedian's comedian. that is high praise. >> cheryl: another talented person that we lost, robyn williams, too soon. that is the thing, personally lex luther in "superman." that was my favorite.

>> todd: "crimeson tide," so many visuals that have stuck with me. did not have an easy life. father walked out, waved goodbye and that was it. >> cheryl: he was a united states maen radio, enlisted when he was young. >> carley: went to journalism school, u of i, acting worked out well. >> todd: talk about the brat pack from the '80s and the early 2000 with vince vaun vaughn and w will farrel. he was with duva ll and dustin heart hofman. gene hackman is in half of the movies from young life. >> carley: his wife. >> classic pianist.

a lot of celebrities, shirley mcclane comes to mind, live in sante fe, it is a beautiful part of new mexico, he was known to the locals walking down the street in sante fe. >> carley: such sad news and so many questions that need to be answered, i'm sure we'll get ans answers after the day progresses. >> cheryl: we are hoping for more information today and camera crews are on their way to the home. >> todd: cheryl, thank you. there is other news this morning. chicago mayor brandon johnson, testifying in washington next week to defend the city's sanctuary policies. james comer will lead the

hearing and call the mayors out on x. pro-illegal alien mayors of denver and new york city have reckless policies that shield aliens from immigration enforcement and endanger public safety. director of the community round table joins me now. c cotta, your mayor is below 7% approval rating. that is the lowest approval rating in history. who is he fighting for when great people of chicago have said time and time again they do not want sanctuary policies? >> he is fighting for the migrants. those are the people you see him standing up for and that is right now who we feel he is fighting for. mayor johnson is on this tour across the city of chicago primarily in black communities

to try to win black back the voters he has lost. i don't think he'll be able to do that because as of yesterday, mayor johnson and city council, we don't want this onus on him, voted for over $800 million bond that will cost the city overtime 2.2 billion dollars, which has contributed to sending our credit rating below national standards, which is something we don't want to see happen. and his excuse for that is well, other mayors before me have done it. just the stupidity of it all, you sit back and look and you are saying that we elected you because we thought you were going to be different and thought you would be fiscally responsible and this is not fiscally responsible. even with state of illinois, mismanagement continues.

we see the state has un underestimated amount of money spent on migrant healthcare, which is sending our state budget to 2.2 billion deficit. which you look at the money being spent, we have to say not only in chicago, in the state of illinois, people are not the priority. >> todd: glad you mention state at large, illinois state of education, with regard to getting rid of dei, the su superintendent said we will hold to our values and whether or not we can get that message across in that particular room referring to the white house does not mean i'm going to stop. i will ask this question through the lens of the people, you are a resident of illinois, is that what people want? to lose federal education

funding? >> well, i do have a problem with the fact we may lose federal funding for education. i also think that the white house and state of illinois, not just illinois state board of education have to come together and sit down and have dialogue that can meet both sides. as a black woman, i can't say that i am against dei, even though it has not worked for black people the way it should as only a very small percentage of us actually benefit from dei. i don't want to see it totally go away and i think there has to be some middle ground reached. >> todd: interesting perspective, i appreciate that. i appreciate your time here on a thursday, thank you. let's go to lawrence jones with what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> lawrence: what's up? >> todd: wildly busy day so far. >> lawrence: busy day back on

the curvy couch with news on "fox and friends." president trump's first cabinet meeting in the books, i was in the room and got to ask questions of the president and cabinet members. here is a little of it. >> i know you like competition and it is early, which department are you most impressed with? to mr. musk, that is the first one. mr. musk, which department have you received most resistance from? >> president trump: both of those questions, you are pretty controversial guy. >> lawrence: so according to potus, i'm controversial, i have to ask the questions. i spoke with key cabinet members about their top priority for advancing america first agenda and what is happening behind closed doors. plus, trump's special envoy. steve witkoff is expected to travel to the middle east in the

coming days to discuss second phase of the ceasefire deal with israel and hamas. he will come on our program first and we'll ask questions about the deal. shannon bream is waking up early to break down surprising new supreme court ruling, it surprised us all, we'll break it down on "fox and friends." see you top of the hour.

>> carley: usda say egg prices could increase by 40%. the trump administration is hatching up a plan to combat the rising costs. >> we are looking to import eggs on the short-term. this is just on the cost piece. we are already in discussions. if you dig around you will figure out which countries, but talking to three or four countries getting between 70 and 100 million eggs in the country in the next monitor or two which will help with supply and demand. >> carley: the administration plans to lock down barnes to prevent the spread of bird flew and help spread of will repopulate 106 million birds lost 2022. maine legislature has voted to censure state it senator it lauren libby after she spoke out about biological men competing against women in sport. >> to be canceled by a man for speaking up for maine girls.

woke ideology demands that you cancel girls and cancel the women speaking up on their behalf. >> catherine collins is the mother of three student athletes in maine, including one daughter. and she joins me now. catherine, good morning to you. i want to get into this post by riley gaines who responded to this situation in your state saying a female representative in maine lost her ability to vote and speak on the house floor for defending girls and women. no, this didn't happen in afghanistan. it happened in america. what is your reaction to this situation that's unfolding in maine? >> well, it is just sick that laurel libby has been silenced by men for speaking up for girls ridiculous. this has been going on in maine for several years. in the past two years, there has been two boys pretending to be girls competing in girls sports. both of them have won state titles. which really shows you the disparity between men and women in sports.

men have a 12 to 20% advantage over women, basic biology and this just -- it's very unfair. >> carley: when it comes to track and your children, you say you had to read up on the rules of the height of the bar, the weight of the shot, the length of the javelin, all of that have to be thrown out because boys want to pretend to be girls and it doesn't make sense. >> correct. i'm a certified official. so i have to make sure that the athletes follow all the rules of the sport in each event. all of that is thrown out whenning make difference between men and women is ignored. this boy who won the pole vault, the girl's pole vault state title he came within one inch of the girl's all-time record of the state. he would have come in -- he came in tenth last year at the state

meet and he would have come in tenth this year at the state meet. >> carley: catherine there has been a lot of discussion over the exchange last week. watch this. i was going to play the exchange, i'm sure many people saw it? >> there it is. sorry. >> carley: it was the governor of maine and donald trump going back and forth on the transgender issue. and ended up saying we will see you in court. there is $250 million in federal funding on the line. what do you think the reaction would be from residents in maine if the governor sticks to opposing the zoshed that donald trump signed into law barring biological men from competing and the state losing that federal funding? >> i think it would be devastating to our state. we are a very poor state that receives a lot of federal

funding. our schools are already under budget. they don't -- i mean overbudget. they don't have enough money to educate the students we already have with the federal money. janet mills has been a dictator since she was elected into office. she over the lockdown she locked down our state for over a year and a half, didn't allow students to go to school. she didn't let parents watch their children compete in sports. she didn't let -- she almost mandated vaccines for all athletes. and she forced children to wear masks while they were competing in sports. >> carley: the latest on this, catherine attorney general pam bondi sent a letter to officials in maine, california, and minnesota, urging the states to comply with trump's executive order or else. and that means that they're going to court and potential federal funding could get pulled. so, we will certainly be watching this.

catherine, thank you so much for joining us and speaking out on this important issue. we appreciate it? >> thank you. >> carley: you have a good day. todd, over to you. >> todd: check out this wild video out of hawaii. look at that fountains of lava shooting up to 600 feet in the air as mount kilauea erupts for the 11th time since december. this is happening in a closed part of volcano's national park on the big island. but, nevertheless, visitors can see the bright lava from a number of lookouts. if i were on the island and i would that close, i might leave. hawaii is beautiful. >> carley: you go to hawaii a lot. >> todd: i used to before kids. the park officials describing the flow as showers of gold. >> carley: that sounds lovely but there are showers i would like to avoid. the death of gene hackman coming up on "fox & friends" right now. ♪ >> steve: good morning, everybody.
