accountable for the botched afghanistan withdrawal. >> president trump: i will say if i had his place, i would fire every single one of them. >> doing complete review of every aspect what happened. >> steve: okay. roll tide, how renewal of faith is fuelling one of the biggest programs in college football. final hour of "fox and friends" for this thursday starts right now. >> ainsley: british prime minister is set to meet with president trump later today looking to stand strong in support for ukraine while maintaining u.k. special relationship with the united states. >> steve: we have a special relationship with lucas tomlinson, he joins us live with details. lucas. >> lucas: good morning. britain's turn to visit white

house, keir starmer will meet with president trump. the prime minister says the u.k. will boost defense spending by 2027. here was keir starmer yesterday at the british embassy. >> we want to work with you, welcome you to britain, want a new partnership, our history shows when we work together great things happen. >> lucas: we didn't always work with the brits. yesterday trump convenes with lawrence in attendance. host will host zelenskyy at the white house tomorrow and mineral rights deal is expected to be signed. steve witkoff told lawrence he is optimistic about that. not clear if there will be

security guarantees, trumps europe must stand up and make the lead. >> president trump: i will not make security guarantees, that is up to europe. europe is their next door neighbor. we'll make sure everything goes well. >> lucas: nato secretary general says russia is producing more ammunition in a month than the entire alliance makes in a year. putins he is hopeful about talks with the u.s. and wants to establish cooperation. putin is also a former kgb officer. >> steve: once a kgb officer, always one. with zelenskyy and united states, sounds like they have a framework that is worked out. there is no security deal, sounds like mr. zelenskyy is saying, i need to sit down and

convince donald trump he needs to do something. i don't know if that dog is going to hunt. >> lucas: and we heard from keir starmer, he wants the u.s. to be a back stop, defense secretary pete hegseth and trump do not want u.s. troops on the ground in ukraine, they want to see forces in poland and u.s. troops backing whatever peacekeepers go in. is this korea model,ireland? algeria or germany? >> steve: great point. thanks, lucas. >> lawrence: my sources are telling me and steve witkoff did not want to get ahead of the president, my sources tell me the deal is done. draft has been approved from zelenskyy and they are ready to go. of course, zelenskyy does want to meet with the president to talk about security guarantees,

he will find an unmovable president in a lot of ways. the president communicated and said security guarantee is american interest is in ukraine. our money and minerals are there. russia will not move on u.s. territory ore this joint venture right there. i'm hearing the deal may be not signed on friday, but perhaps on saturday. >> ainsley: we're paying three times as much as europe, we've given them 350 billion and they have given -- he says mineral deal will be signed tomorrow, and that will bring us great wealth and give them wealth so they can rebuild. >> steve: what is curious and you spoke to steve witkoff about this a little while ago. well is no security guarantee from the united states, sounds like is a great big pot of money

and a bufrp of money from minerals and natural resources go into the fund to help rebuild ukraine. the problem is a lot of rare earth stuff is in the contested area, there is good possibility it will wind up under russia control. so if the stuff we need is there, is russia going to allow us and ukraine to take the stuff out? >> lawrence: that is other phase of negotiation. we had steve witkoff on and he talked about this agreement. >> i certainly hope so. we have been negotiating it for close to two weeks and i think it is a good sign that president zelenskyy will be here tomorrow, the president is eager to get this behind us and move on to get a peace deal done between ukraine and russia. a good deal i say and the presidents and i take direction from him, figuring out the deal that works for everybody.

a good deal is a deal that has that characteristic. that is what we're here to do, put parties together that have not talked in the past. when i met with president putin, he said he had not heard from anyone in the biden administration for 3-1/2 years. it leads to partnerships and we're here to encourage that. >> lawrence: that is diplomatic malpractice. 3-1/2 years and don't hear from the administration, no wonder the war lasted so long. i think the narrative has changed in the press. they said you can't trust him with the nuclear code, there will be wars all over the place and now they are saying donald trump is offering too much peace. if you can get russia and ukraine to agree to some mineral rights deal and as result, be a buffer between both countries, i think he does deserve a prize for that.

>> steve: here is the problem for zelenskyy and we've heard and i have not looked at gallup polls in his country, a lot of ukrainians are upset they are giving away assets, access to their natural resources, while the united states is being vague about what they get in return. no security return. >> lawrence: we have given you billions for your war. >> steve: they know that, they want more. >> ainsley: yesterday was trump's first cabinet meeting. lawrence went down there standing with the press, here is a question he asked donald trump and pete hegseth about firing the generals who are responsible for withdrawal of afghanistan. >> mr. president, you were talking about afghanistan and the botched withdrawal. have all the generals or command staff involved been fired or relieved of duty?

>> president trump: that's 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. >> it is a question we thought a lot about, doing a complete review of the botched withdrawal of afghanistan and plan to have full accountability. certainly general on his way in was not as part of that, finished the job properly and bringing our troops home. we're taking a different view than previous administration and there will be -- >> president trump: i don't see big promotions in that group. i think they will be largely gone. >> lawrence: it was a telling moment, it is obvious where the secretary of defense stands on this issue before he became secretary of defense. it is much different role when you become secretary of defense. before you can fire these people

or relieve them of duty, you have to have due cause. he has to let the investigation take place, he just got that directive saying, i want them gone on live television and i think he's leaning to that directon, he has to have the investigation take place before that decision. >> steve: what investigation, we know that joe biden was told by generals, don't do it this way, it was joe biden's responsibility and he even said m a press conference afterward, the buck stops with me. now it is going to be like, we want to hear from the generals who tried to talk him out of doing what he did. >> ainsley: yesterday president trump said biden gave up b bagram air base and left all that equipment behind. we could land anything on that runway. we gave it up or joe biden gave it up and don't forget the 13

killed at the abbey gate and those badly injured. >> lawrence: to your point, steve, joe biden is ultimately responsible for what took place, there were a lot of military aspects where they failed on. fact they gave up the base, fact they left military equipment that the enemy now has and are flaunting it all over the internet. the fact they took soldiers out of there before they took all the other civilians from out of there. there was a sniper that saw the ied, saw someone suspicious and someone did not give order to disarm them. there were definitely a lot of military mishaps there and that is what the sec will investigate before that ultimate decision. >> steve: in other news, former

usaid workers will return back to the office to pick up personal belongings. >> ainsley: and john roberts putting pause on a federal judge's order regarding frozen federal aid funding. >> lawrence: rich edson has details. >> trump administration is making clear cuts to federal government have only just begun. administration is directing agencies to come up with plan for large-scale layoffs. a month later, agencies are expected to outline how they will consolidate. layoffs have started at usaid. staff will have 15 minutes to box up their desks and leave the building. trump administration is cutting usaid staff, terminating agency contract and folding american aid organization into the state

department. there are lawsuits and john roberts sided with the administration and determined usaid could hold off paying 2 billion for aid work completed. full court is expected to weigh in soon. president is pressing government workers to respond to the doge request to list their accomplishments. >> president trump: i'd like to add those million people that have not responded to elon, they are on the bubble. i wouldn't say we're thrilled about it, maybe we are paying people that don't exist. this group just got here. those people are on the bubble, maybe they will be gone. maybe they are not around, maybe they have other jobs, maybe they moved and they are not where they are supposed to be. >> president signed executive order requiring release of information on payments and travel expenses when they can.

back to you guys. >> steve: when they can. thank you. >> lawrence: fox news alert. just learning that legendary actor, two-time oscar winner, gene hackman and his wife were found dead yesterday in their new mexico home. >> todd: todd piro joins us with what we know. >> todd: hackman and his wife betsy arakawa found dead along there dog unresponsive in their home. the sheriff's office says no immediate indication of foul play, they have not provided cause of death or details as to when they might have died. hackman served in the marine corps and had been living in santa fe since the '80s. he starred in "hoosiers," "french connection," "unforgiven" and playing

superman's arch enemy, lex luther. >> this is california, richest state in the union. >> i don't need a geography lesson, luther. >> i forget, you have been there, you get around. where was i? >> todd: tributes pouring in. saying of the actor, loss of a great artist, cause for mourning and celebration, gene hackman, great actor, magnificent in his work and complexity. hackman just turned 95 last month. we'll bring details on his death as the investigation unfolds. absolute legend. >> steve: shocking news coming out around midnight. >> ainsley: bizarre, the wife, who is 63, is gone, too, and their dog, too. >> steve: no foul play, it does

suggest, we had one of the world's greatest forensic scientists ever, he said it seemed like it could have been accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. >> ainsley: leaves behind three children from his first wife. over to carley with headlines. >> carley: fox news alert to get to, dozens of anti-israel protesters taking over a building at barnard college in new york city overnight. barnard spokesperson says protesters physically assaulted a college employee sending that person to the hospital. they were rallying against and f threw around fliers. they blocked students from getting into class, watch. >> even if i have class, i can't come in? you are catering to emthis, you

bottom of the mountain, watch out, deer run toward you. >> lawrence: bold move of the deer. >> steve: carley, can you get reaction from the deer? >> carley: i will go out there. >> ainsley: rudolph. >> steve: did he have a red nose? >> ainsley: probably not, the skier would have seen him. supreme court set to make a call on reverse discrimination, implication for dei and beyond. >> steve: trump administration releasing new jeffrey epstein documents today that they call sickening. details coming up. serving customers with top tier mobile service is our business, but our mission is to honor and serve patriots. patriot mobile gives back to organizations that defend our god given rights and freedoms. with dependable nationwide coverage on all three of the major u.s. based networks.

>> lawrence: the department of justice is expected to release some of the jeffrey epstein files today. this comes after a republican push for transparency. griff jenkins joins us live with details. who is on the list, griff? >> griff: that is the question. if pam bondi's teaser to jesse is any indication, we could get some shocking revelations. >> 200 victims, 200, well over,

250 actually. we have to make sure their identity is protected and their personal information. what you are going to see hopefully tomorrow is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names and information. it is pretty sick what that man did. >> griff: recall this started after president trump told rachel rachel campos-duffy he was open. >> rachel: would you declassify j.f.k. files? >> i did a lot of it. >> rachel: would you declassify the epstein files? >> president trump: i think so. you don't want to affect people's lives, there is a lot of phony stuff with that world. i think i would. >> griff: president trump called on agencies to release secret

documents. posting the letter to x reads integrity of criminal investigation and prosecution is essential to every part of the department's mission to uphold law, keep our nation safe and protect civil rights. what is unclear is how this might affect epstein's co-defendant, maxwell. >> steve: standing by for it. in washington, supreme court likely to rule in favor of a reverse discrimination case after a woman in ohio says she was denied a promotion because she is straight. >> all you want for this case is short opinion thats discrimination on basis of sexual orientation, whether because you are gay or straight is prohibited. >> in radical agreement on that.

>> steve: with reaction, fox news sunday anchor shannon bream. good morning to you. >> shannon: good morning, steve. >> steve: this is different from what we heard in the path. people were discriminated against because of gender identity or sexual orientation. never because i'm straight. >> shannon: yeah, this is a novel question for the court to decide. the woman said she had great promotions and evaluations and applied for a job and got passed over and got a new supervisor who was openly gay. she got demoted and the person who took her job was gay and the person who got the promotion was gay. she said, there is more to this. it may have been due to my characteristic as heterosexual person. you don't renl have to come forward with basic discrimination claim, if you are

a majority class, you have to bring additional proof to the table something nefarious was going on. most of the justices said, shouldn't all discrimination have same burden of proof, even solicitor general arguing against this woman said everybody agrees everybody should be treated equally. >> steve: here is the woman speaking yesterday. watch this. >> i feel like maybe in the future, at this point, everyone will have a fair bite at the apple on discrimination. again, discrimination is discrimination and each individual case is different. >> steve: this seems like a really easy question to solve. >> shannon: the fact so many justices in agreement over this, that was really interesting as arguments unfolded yesterday. back in my ancient day, i did

labor and employment law, this language is familiar to me, what they were debating. idea whatever class you are in, you have to come with different proof, seemed like majority of justices, if not all, were ready to say, that does not work. the burden of proof should be the same no matter who you are. we will wait until june to see what they decide. >> steve: we will watch you on fox news sunday 2:00 and on broadcast fox all day long. president trump's first cabinet meeting in the books and lj was in the room. what they told us could shape the next four years, coming up.

>> ainsley: hand over to britta outside with the weather forecast. >> good morning, ainsley, a couple of raindrops, not bad. temperatures remain above average for majority of our country. in fact, today in arizona, temperatures in the 80s. mid-60s for d.c. and 47 across fargo, north dakota. keep with the warm trend. we have a few changes on the way. we keep having quick weather systems across great lakes in the northeast. snow across the great lakes and each system will unlock chilly air. if you live across the great lakes, we have a changeup, warm saturday and chilly sunday. two-day cool down for the east coast. big heads up next week, severe weather, march begins spring severe weather. tuesday night into wednesday,

this looks like early indication of possibly severe weather outbreak, we'll have you covered on fox weather. >> steve: beautiful day 46 degrees here in midtown. >> ainsley: i think it is going to be almost 60 degrees. >> lawrence: i know you still want snow. wayne one more good snow. >> lawrence: i'm over it. >> steve: go to anchorage, we'll stay here. >> ainsley: we have not had a good snow in new york this year. >> steve: great big snow drift. >> ainsley: cold in d.c. yesterday? >> lawrence: it was pretty warm. i sat in the president's first cabinet meeting and i spoke to some cabinet members. here is a look at thats. >> lawrence: we wrapped up the first cabinet meeting, it was fired up. >> around the table, you could probably feel it, the love and respect and we're not going to

agree on everything, we feel called to meet this moment. >> president trump is a fantastic leader. you were in part of the meeting, he's assembled incredible cabinet and given clear direction through executive order and directed secretaries in the room to enact his agenda. >> lawrence: everybody is talking about doge and how it is impacting your guys agency, what has been impact so far? >> we have a doge task force and found 260 million in savings, 4 million in dei contracts for culture trans formation, has nothing to do with mission of hud and 1.9 billion of misplaced funds. part of being servant leaders is to be good stewards of american taxpayer dollars. >> for me, i encourage it, i'm

grateful for it. it is never easy, when you are right-sizing a ship, it is imperfect and can be painful. we have a commitment to american people and president trump won a race and popular vote that people wanted government returned to them, they want government off their back and want to self-governor again for the american people. >> lawrence: talk about ag and how it will be impacting the american people. >> food security is national security. talking about rural prosperity, you can't have it without a strong agricultural community. >> i've heard this from 20-somethings say how are we going to afford a home? get our fiscal in place first. at hud, deregulation, too many regulations. >> lawrence: president has a theory that if you get the price of energy down then the price of

all goods will go down, as well, you need energy to get goods there. for the american people going to the grocery store or gas pump, when should we expect to start to see the impact of the trump drill, baby, drill? >> it will unfold overtime. some people wrongly view energy as a sector, it is the sector that enables every other sector. energy is the key to american prosperity and the key to us solving these wars abroad. core underlying product we need for every industry is more intelligence manufactured here in the u.s. with our sources. one thing chris and i work on, how to get more electricity delivered to this country and get price down for citizens. president trump got elected on

agenda to unleash american energy. that is not drill, baby, drill, build, baby, build and map and discover, baby. a lot of low-hanging fruit. >> steve: i can't tell you last time i saw during biden administration, people would leave the cabinet room. that administration was so scripted. >> lawrence: controlling of the message. >> steve: this administration, the president picked cabinet members that can really present his ideas, their ideas clearly, he doesn't have to worry about them going out and blowing everything up, everybody is on the same page. >> lawrence: i find it great, too, these are guys that normally and gals, used to communicating their ideas. they share the vision of the president and they are communicating it in such a s sussenate judiciary committee way, i don't think we have seen

this ever in an administration. >> ainsley: they spoke to the media for a long time and media left and they had a meeting ask scott turner led the meeting in prayer. >> lawrence: that was the highlight and they had a bible study. i said, i'm going back to tell ainsley, they laughed and said, let ainsley know. >> ainsley: tim scotts they have bible study, too. >> lawrence: during commercial break, you should do one with the cabinet and put on "fox and friends." request a request from ainsley. >> lawrence: secretary of agriculture brook rawlins. >> steve: thanks for going down. >> ainsley: great job. >> steve: 18 before top of the hour, we'll step aside, more "fox and friends" in just a couple of minutes.

would probably think. it is a show about characters. about diving into these players and coaches' lives. seeing behind the scenes and i think that we were able to display that in a way that is unique to sports shows and highlight things like faith and having my dad be a big part of that, which he has led me through my whole life has been super special. >> lawrence: i'm watching your dad smiling at you right now. >> ainsley: me, too. >> lawrence:ist is like jumping off the screen right now. what does this moment feel like you not only being the chaplain of the team but doing it with your son? >> tremendous blessing, to be honest. if you've raised a child and you know all the things that come with that, so sitting here watching caleb with him producing this and all the moments of you pouring into him as a father, to see it manifest and to see the work that you've

done, so that's why i was smiling. >> steve: my son-in-law is from alabama and i know a lot about your football program. it is appropriate that you are the chap lane because to a lot of people alabama football is a religion. >> yeah, that's true. >> sitting here just thinking about the tide that binds really, that's faith. it's a tremendous belief that behind the scenes people like myself and others, coaches, coach bryant, coach sabin, men of tremendous faith. that's what i like to share with people. behind the scenes there is a personal faith. >> lawrence: you said men. that is not appreciated in society today. we need our fathers, we need our grandfathers and our coaches and strong men to build the next generation. tell me why that's important to you and the impact it has had on your life? >> it is important to me because of what you just said.

i've had that. i wouldn't be sitting here today talking to you guys about any of this if it wasn't for my father. and my dad, i've seen him lead our family relentless and it started with faith. it is an easy plug for our show the first episode of our show is titled faith. i like to talk about that. it is important, you know, and the word of god says it's impossible to please him without him. so like, you know, i'm not comparing my dad to god but it was almost impossible to please him growing up. so, you know, we do need that. that's a great point. men of faith. >> ainsley: you had two other sons that also played for alabama and caleb was a walk-on and ended up winning two national championships under coach sabin. you are the chaplain. i'm sure that was amazing. can we show a clip of what we'll see when we watch the tides that

bind and explain what we'll see what we watch the whole series. >> you have the city the size of tuscaloosa that gets over 100,000 people in a stadium on a saturday. that is decades and decades of success, of people leading the program that made this place what it is, and that's our job to continue to build on it and make it better for those that follow us. >> steve: there is the current coach talking about when nick sabin left. the tides that bind, it is an ultimate, you know, all access pass. you get to see stuff you've never seen before. thank you for bringing that to all of us. >> ainsley: god bless you. >> lawrence: a great example for the country. >> ainsley: have a good day. see you tomorrow on friday.
