house meeting. lucas, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, molly. president trump has returned to his mar-a-lago estate. he's playing golf today after an oval office meeting that this nobody's ever seen in history. it tarted going off the rails about 40 minutes into it when a reporter asked president trump who was sitting alongside the ukrainian president, zelenskyy, when that the reporter asked trump why he aligns himself with putin so much, and president trump says he's trying to stay in the middle to help negotiate a peace deal to help end russia's war on ukraine. j.d. vance jumped in and took system shots at former president biden. and then certificate eleveny sumped in -- zelenskyy jumped in, saying russia has violated 25 ceasefire violations. and then that promptedded this response from president trump. >> you don't have the cards right now. with us, you start having cards. >> i'm not playing cards. i'm very serious, mr. president -- >> you're gam gambling with the

lives of millions of people. you're gambling with world war iii. >> reporter: zelenskyy left the white house a short to time later on trump's orders. the planned press conference and lunch were canceled. the mineral rights deal that brought zelenskyy to washington was not signed. later on "potential report" with bette -- special report with bret baier, zelenskyy said he wanted security agreements included in that a agreement. >> i said we are ready for the this document, and this will be the step for step to security guarantees, but it's not enough. i think so. maybe i don't know something. >> reporter: now, democrats think ukraine's president was set up in the oval office. senator chris murphy firing away on twitter saying what a just happened the oval office was a planned am a bush designed to hurt a russian dictator and hurt america's security. russia today is on a wartime

fight, a few weeks at ago at nato's headquarters that, the secretary-general says russia makes more ammunition in three months tan the entire nato alliance makes in a year, molly. molly: lucas tomlinson, thank you. what does all a of this tension mean for the if ultimate peace talks? let's get right to former uss cole commander kirk lippold. a remarkable exchange there the oval office followed by his interview with our own bret baier where there was an opportunity for a bit of a cleanup. i just want to get your take the start things off. >> well, good morning, molly, and thank you for having me on. when you really look at it, there was a failure on both sides yesterday. let's face it, the united states is the world leader, and as such both president trump and vice president vance could have comported themselves in a manner where let president zelenskyy act the way he did, but they didn't. president zelenskyy, by the same token -- and we also saw that in

bret's interview last night -- didn't read the room. he didn't understand what was going on. at the end of the day, what ukraine is concerned about a, president zelenskyy and others are concerned about more than anything else is security guarantees. clearly, the united states has failed ukraine when we offered assurances in 19 is 94 under president clinton, when we didn't react to the invasion of crimea under obama in 2014 and then after the invasion with president biden in 2022, the united states did not give ukraine the tools it needed when it needed them the push russia back. so consequently, when president zelenskyy walks if and he sees both the president and vice president there, he knows that right there he is in a position that is almost no win. while a mineral agreement would have been great to negotiate, unless there's security guarantees by the united states and by europe which is going the follow the u.s.' lead, zelenskyy

knows that his country will till be in jeopardy. molly: you said something very interesting there when you said he failed to read the room, meaning zelenskyy, of course, i want the listen to just a portion of the exchange. take a listen. >> look, if you can get a ceasefire right now, i'd tell you you'd take it so the bullets temperature flying and your pen stop getting killed. >> of course we want to top the war -- >> you said you don't want a ceasefire. i want a ceasefire, because you'll get a ceasefire faster than an agreement. you've got to be more thankful because, let me tell you, you don't have the cards. with us, you have the cards. without us, you don't have any cards. molly: president zelenskyy there talks about those guarantees again. in reality, this particular event, this meeting was about getting the deal done related to the unique if minerals and to create this infrastructure and this collaboration on an economic front. and it seemed like -- was he just not if only, you know,

perhaps rude to the president president vice president, but off topic in a a certain sense? >> i think the a degree, he was. i think president zelenskyy's main concern is that he was walking into a meeting and what he's being asked to do with yet another american president is to to offer a something from his country with no guarantee it is on the back end that he would be able to safeguard their security for the foreseeable future. i think by the same token president trump in demanding a ceasefire, well, we have already seen where russias violated several cease fire -- has violated several ceasefire agreements with ukraine to date, so there's a track record there that the president appears to be backing russia. i don't think he would, but he appears to be backing russia in a ceasefire and making it look as if ukraine does not want it. i think everyone would like to have a ceasefire. come to the negotiating table. have those difficult discussions about what it's going the take for peace.

not just short term, but long term, with security guarantees. and right now everyone is maneuvering and squawk keying for position. -- jockeying for position. president putin says no peace akeepers from europe, by the same token ukraine is saying i can't afford to do any deal unless i have security guarantees the safe a guard if my if nation's future. molly: zelenskyy also went into what's been described as in this the history lesson where he talks about why russia can't be trusted and diplomacy won't work. and certainly from his standpoint, that's manager he has experienced. now there's this new president that would like to to see an end to the war. in theory, there a has to be some sort of diplomacy that the eventually works if you're going the a lasting peace which is the ultimate hope. when he brought this up, it just seemed like he was taking the discussion which was the next discussion, which was about to happen, in front to of everyone instead of what could have happened behind closed doors. >> i think you're absolutely

right, molly. i think in some ways president zelenskyy, by trying to put history out there, that is a discussion that a takes place at the negotiating table or, as you said is, behind closed doors. you don't give a history lesson to the president and vice president of the united states. what you do is rely on them to peek for themselves -- speak for themselves, and then separately or after the meeting clarify where your position is as your chief diplomat and president the make sure at the framework for going into peace negotiations is going to be the understood by the public at large. i mean, vice president vance in indicating he shouldn't have been litigating it in front of the american public, well, then he shouldn't have invited all the a cameras into the oval office to begin with. there was multiple faults on every side in what happened yesterday, and it's unfortunate. now that it's happened, let's everybody take a step back, reset, figure out what we need to do to get everyone to the negotiating table, and let's get

a peace agreement hammered out with guarantees for european and ukrainian security. we can get a minerals deal and russia also gets punished, especially putin, for the horrific war crimes and murder he has committed against the ukrainian people. molly: do you have a concern that russia won't pay a high enough price going forward? >> i think we need to wait and see. i think those negotiations are going to be to difficult. i have no doubt that putin cannot be trusted, and it is truly going to be in the words of president reagan trust but verify, but in this case it's going to be ruthless verification by the u.s., by the ukrainians and by the europeans as to what president putin and russia do because, clearly, they've demonstrated through their actions ask through a track record -- and through a track record they cannot be trusted. and there has to be consequences not only for initiating the war, but for any future violations that occur. molly: commander, do you think that russia will be allowed the

keep some of the ukrainian territory that they have claimed and occupied for much of three years, that that they've been holding that territory? >> i would certainly hope not. i would hope that the donbas and luhansk regions get returned to ukraine. and part of the reason why is, look, people want to always a bring up, oh, but the history and p oh, this is what's happened before. in 1994 there was an agreement signed by the russian are government that that recognized the ukrainian territory and state as it exists today. they gave assurances that we would have those territorial guarantee -- territory would be respected and guaranteed if they gave up their nuclear weapons. the problem you're going to have is that if you do not return that territory back, if i'm a mullah sitting in iran, why would i ever want to give up by nuclear weapons program seeing what's happened to ukraine itself and and that that russia cannot be trusted? it sets a bad precedent for the

world and for other rogue nations like iran, and eventually also for china as they lick their chops looking toward taiwan and the philippines and the china a sea. molly: it would be quite something if russia made an agreement and gave back that territory. commander lippold, thank you figure your insights on this saturday morning -- thank you for your insights. another air scare this morning. check out this new video coming in. this is a fedex plane if on fire making an emergency landing at a newark international airport in new jersey just minutes after takeoff. apparently, the engine burst into flames after the plane struck a bird, and as we mentioned, this was a fedex plane. reminder, this was not a passenger plane. so far no injuries reported, but no doubt yet another frightening moment for pilots and crew onboard a plane here in america. and for anyone on the ground who witnessed all a of this as well. the house passing one big,

excess and transparency. officials connected to doge are ordered to testify in court on its efforts the reshape the federal government. musk says it provides recommendations to different departments. >> these are cuts that doge are recommends to the department, and usually these recommendations are followed. >> reporter: musk says since its creation doge has saved tax biers billion -- taxpayers billions of dollar, but system is of the biggest items include medicare and social security which musk slammed. >> there are fewer babies being born, so you have more people who are retired and get -- that live for a long time and get retirement payments. to to future obligation -- however bad the financial situation is right now for the federal government, it will be much worse in the future. >> reporter: president trump, though, maintains he won't touch social security, medicare and medicaid, an issue that remains at the forefront in congress as republicans work on a bill that

they hope will cut spending and enact the president's agenda. molly. of. molly: thank you, madeleine rivera, there in washington for us. and for more on the impact of these doge cuts, hill reporter alex january tan know. thank you so much for joining us in this morning. we greatly appreciate it. i just want to get your thoughts as the cuts continue. we spend a lot of time looking at washington too, particularly as some of these house conservatives are trying the to weave things into legislation that's coming up. your thoughts. >> yeah. it's been an interesting topic during these government funding chats about how doge can be incorporated into legislation, into the work of congress with all of these cuts. a lot of budget hawks are looking now and saying if doge is cutting so much government funding, why aren't we using that when we consider our, you know, equation when we try to the pass this government funding bill by the march 14th deadline? they want to figure out how, you

know, cutting and slashing a lot of the government waste, how republicans look at it could impact the overall budget x. then there's the question of what to do beyond that. would it be that this, these doge cuts get down the slashing part of the deficit, or do we see checks going out to tax-paying americans to give them system of their money back? those are all conversations that congress has to be extremely, you know, a part of. and they want to be a part of, but could that hurt this government funding plan, and does speaker johnson want to five into that right now. molly: and that's part of the big challenge, is, if doge is being highlighted by republicans in congress and democrats don't want to see anything that looks likest been transferred right over in writing, speaker johnson might have a problem. the numbers are pretty tight. >> right. exactly. he has to figure out a way to maybe work with some to

democrats. but if it's anything to do with doge, i think democrats put their9 foot down and say we're not interested in helping you, we're not interested in, you know, continuing this narrative that them99 -- democrats think that musk is, you know, evil and doing awful things for this government. i think that's what democrats want to keep up. they want to keep, you know, fighting for these usaid a workers and cfpb workers whereas if republicans bring doge into these talks, they'll completely shut down. i think speaker johnson knows that given his very tight margins, that it's a really tough balance. but a lot of budget hawks are saying, let's use this. we have these cuts, why aren't we talking about them? if. molly: yeah. we're also talking about a lot of action in court, executive order, corresponding court case, corresponding lawsuit with what doge is doing. in a win for the trump administration, alex, chief justice john roberts has allowed

the u.s. to continue its pause on nearly 2 million in foreign aid a payments. is this a sign that the supreme court might be favoring the president when it comes to these other lower court orders regarding these cuts? >> yeah. i think that was a huge win for the trump administration because if the supreme court is siding with them in looking at some of these courts -- some of these cuts especially in the case of foreign aid a, that's huge for them to have chief justice roberts on their side and some other justices. whereas in the lower courts, as you mentioned, you know, it's not as powerful, and they can definitely, you know, look to the supreme court now if they need an ally on some of this government spending. and we see also the trump administration is working a little harder now to try to figure out how to do these knowing that there's going to be legal roadblocks and issues ahead. you know, we saw that there's going to be another e-mail out to federal workers this weekend saying what have you done this week, but it's going to come

from agencies. that's a way to get around some of those legal issue is that arose when it came from opm, musk and the white house office. so they're definitely finding other ways too to try to figure out how to not have all these issues held up in court because we've seen there's a lot of legal issues here. molly: that's a great point about that confusion within the agencies in the wake of that initial e-mail and some of the pushback. we'll see, maybe a hole different response this week, we hall see. alex, thank you so much. really appreciate your time this beautiful saturday morning, thank you. >> thank you. you too. if. molly: all right. the budget battle ramping up with the government shutdown deadline fast approaching. can the house and senate come together on this one bill? republican congressman nancy mace is next. and the measles outbreak is spreading to more states, and one death in texas. should americans start worrying? if lowe's knows when you own a home

i am very concerned about the senate. i think the american people should pay close attention. they should take their number 2 pencils out and take notes to see which u.s. senators, which republicans are going to support donald trump and the mandate made upon them in governor and who does not, because it's very important that we deliver on his adwrean and that we deliver for the american people both on spending cuts, tax cuts and improving our national defense. molly: that is a great point as we look at the senate. and i guess it's worth noting that there is a republican majority in the senate and actually a slight majority in the house. that's something democrats keep pointing to as these negotiations go forward and say, hey, if anything goes wrong here and there is a shutdown, they want that blame on republicans who are, in theory, though a small majority in the house, the majority. your thoughts on what a democrats are trying to do there. >> well, we're watching literally democrats implode if on the -- any possible shutdown they always a blame on us even though they are largely the reason our country, our economy and our spending is in such

shambles. they are literally falling apart, having meltdowns in public, many congress over the idea that someone as brilliant and smart as elon musk would help donald trump find waste, fraud and abuse the to the tune of -- he's looking at finding almost $4 billion a day that we can trim9 from the federal government, from all this spending, the blank checks that the federal government is writing to leftist, loony tune ngos, the funding of terrorism that u.s. taxpayers -- we have funded the taliban. we have given money as recently as last year under the biden administration the terrorists, to hamas in gaza. that's the kind of things that's been going on. it can't go on any longer. we're lifting the veil because of donald trump, because of elon musk, because of that work. and they're literally just falling apart. we're going to be more conservative, protect your taxpayer dollar, and we're doing it because donald trump got elected. he's working harder than any president in monday earn history. molly: yeah -- modern history.

it's fascinating to see some of the language farce limiting executive power as things go as far as forward because of the doge effort that's been going on. as speaker johnson pit, they want to limit the power of the executive branch, they want us to stipulate in appropriations bills for the first time in hirst rhode island that certain certain agencies would have -- first time in history. your thoughts on the way he puts it. >> they are deathly afraid of trump doctrine whether it is trump doctrine in foreign policy, trump doctrine in domestic policy, the tax cuts, the wealth that donald trump wants to give to middle americans, middle class americans, the jobs that he's going the create, the taxes he's going to cut, the waste he's going to cut. what he is doing they are afraid of. and if they keep it up like not being able to define what a woman is, if they keep this woke nonsense up, we're going to win big in '26, we're going to win big in '28.

we're going to continue to win big because the american people see the lies for what they are. trump's in charge. it is the new world order, and he's the strongest president we've had in history. he's going to continue to show that strength, and the world's going to be better off, more peaceful for it, and we're going to be wealthier, more educated and more prosperous if because of his leadership. molly: congresswoman, i want to switch gears quickly to ukraine. things got a little tense between president trump and ukrainian president zelenskyy yesterday at the white house. president trump telling zelenskyy he was being disrespectful, that he needed to be more thankful and, frankly, that he doesn't hold any cards. do you agree? >> absolutely. for almost four years president zelenskyy has come to the white house to grift off of joe biden and the democrat administration. those days are over. this is the trump doctrine. this is a man who understands how to make deals. trump wants peace, zelenskyy wants to continue war. and we saw that yesterday. we've had the british prime minister come to the white house the to try the make a deal.

we've had macron, the french prime minister if, come to the white house to try to make a deal. everybody in the world seems to understand trump doctrine real, it's here, it's now, go make a deal. he's the only one who didn't get the memo, so he must be if an idiot. we want peace around the world. trump wants peace, zelenskyy wants war. we saw that yesterday. molly: we shall see if there's another meeting where down the road. i don't know, things didn't leave off well. congresswomanman nancy mace, thank you so much for your time. we greatly appreciate it. >> thank you, molly. molly: president trump continuing his immigration crackdown. and measles, a measles outbreak killing at least one american. what you need to know to stay healthy next. some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking allstate first. duke versus unc. what a storied rivalry? like you know to check your outfit first before meeting your girlfriend's family. that's a tough one to recover from steve.

c.b. with, good morning. >> reporter: hi, polly. a cull by nation of those efforts, 40 years ago a dea act was murder filed the sinaloa cartel. the mastermind is now behind bars here in the u.s. he was among the 29 cartel members extradited to eight different u.s. cities the face charges. this after president donald trump threatened stiff tariffs against our southern neighbor with the administration weighing possible military action against the cartels after declaring them foreign terrorist organizations. friday a former leader of the notorious sinaloa cartel was arraigned in brooklyn federal court. he has been under indictment for the past five years on federal drug charges. he pleaded not guilty here in new york city on friday. also on the fbi's most wanted list with a $20 million bounty on his head, he was convicted in

1985 of being behind the burden and torture of u.s. drug endorsement -- enforcement agent who was working undercover against the cartel. he had spent 28 years in a mexican prison over the murder. now the widow, me can ca, spoke with his colleague, eric shawn, and says she and her family have been waiting 40 years for this moment. she thanked the president and law enforcement for putting the handcuffs on quintero. >> i hope that he never leaves that jail. because he's had so much -- so many for years than by husband ever did to be alive, to be free. >> reporter: so she also told our colleague eric shawn that her husband would be very proud of our country for getting quintero. he and the cartel members when were taken into custody now back here in the u.s. face life in

prison, and in some cases the federal death penalty if convicted. molly. molly: c.b. cotton, our gratitude to you. president trump taking more action to tackle illegal immigration this week, creating a registry for undocumented migrants and pitching a gold card visa, two different things. the crackdown continues as dhs secretary kristi noem says single-day border apprehensions have hit a 5-year low this week -- 15-year low this week. is this proof that all of these things together, the president's policies, are working? if we bring in former acting homeland security secretary chad wolf. thank you, sir is, we appreciate your insights over the course of this weekend. i want to get your thoughts on all of these things and the results we're seeing, if the numbers we're seeing. your thoughts. >> yeah. well, the numbers and the results and the pace at which the trump administration is making change along that border, i think, is really unprecedented. and, you know, you've got to give them a lot of credit.

they've taken a lot of decisions, they're overturned a lot of decisions from the biden administration, and it's having a real world effect. i think what it tells you is that president biden had the ability to do all of this for four years, and he chose not to. congress hasn't changed any laws, they haven't provided the president or dhs or doj any more authorities. instead, we see the executive using the authorities that that it has to secure that border and protect american and american communities. molly: yeah, you're talking about it right there, over 70 executive orders so far. there's a rapid pace. but one of the things that is also happening is that the president is saying we're coming after the cartels and actually doing it. and now we see these high-level cartel, longtime criminals that have this huge history locked up here in merck. in america. what sort of a message if do you think that is sending? if. >> well, i think it's sending a variety of different messages. of it's not only the decembering ig nation of the foreign terrorist organizations, but

it's also the president, you know, indicating that he might tariff additional goods from mexico and canada for that matter if they don't step up and do for to discourage and stop the illegal, the human trafficking and the illegal narcotics coming across that border. so you've got both of these things at play, and i think you're starting to see a real difference. and then you have, as you indicated earlier in the reporting, you have mexican authorities handing over those criminals to the u.s. because they want to cooperate more with president trump and his administration if than they have in the past. is so so we'll see if that cooperation continues. it's a good start, but there needs to be a lot more to see some dramatic change continue to occur. molly: yeah. there has been an effort on the part of both mexico and canada, seemingly, to be meet some of these demands that the president's making. canada appointing a fentanyl czar position who was in washington this week. and yet we are seeing what looks like the tariffs about to happen

or many process. -- in process. is there anything these two countries can do, mexico and canada, that would result in there being no if tariffs? >> well, my guess is they need to show results, right? the president and his team are focused on results. it's not enough just to say they're going to do something, but the proof is in the pudding. it's what are the actions that are backing up those words and those commitments. so i would say say to canadian officials and mexican officials, do what you can as quickly as you can to hoe those types of results and then, obviously -- show those types of results, and then the discuss those with the president and his team. i think that's what's going to matter most, and i think as soon as the president and others start to see those results, they'll be more inclinedded to say, look, maybe the tariffs are not the right aapproach now because they are cooperating. but if they don't see that cooperation, i could see, i could see following through with those tariffs. molly: yeah.

also on the economic front an interesting proposal, the president proposing this $5 million gold card, essentially trying to draw in investing in american exchange for residency. what do you make of that? there are other countries that have done this as a well. >> well, you're righter there are other countries that do it. even the united states does it, what we call our eb-5 frame. essentially, it requires about -- program. it essentially requires about about a million dollar investment, and is you're able to bring a number of individuals over. i think what the president's saying is, and he's right, that program is not -- it's been poorly run over the years, has a little bit of fraud in it, and he wants the bump that number up to $5 million. it looks like this is the art of the deal being made here that the president has thrown out there. he's also trying to attract, or you know, investors and individuals that are building businesses here in the united states while at the same time charging a pretty high fee, making sure he's bringing money into the treasury to perhaps, if

you get enough, to offset some of the deficits that i know they're looking at as well. molly: yeah, an important element there, that that investment here on the ground creating jobs, creating places for workers to go and prop up families and keep things going. we greatly appreciate your insight, chad wolf. thank you for joining us here on this saturday morning. thank you. >> thanks. molly: severe weather hitting the south this week. your fox weather forecast is coming up. plus, measles spreading across the country. we keep talking about this, but we have dr. can marc siegel on what you need to know to keep your family safe, coming up. ♪ chocolate fundraiser. ♪ with the chase mobile app, things move a little more smoothly. ♪ deposit checks easily and send money quickly.

weather, moisture lifted instability. memphis, tennessee, little rock and friends and family in jacksonson, capital of mississippi, and down toward even new orleans on tuesday. keep in mind it's fat tuesday, it's mardi gras, right? a lot of folks are going to be out on bourbon street, literally, 1.4 million people will be out and if about right here on tuesday in the midst of severe weather. what we're expecting, again, is for a lot of moisture-lifted instability to create severe thunderstorms. timeline looks like this, we're thinking tuesday afternoon, tuesday evening and then during the overnight hours we'll see those showers and thunderstorms erupt. molly, there's an indication that tornadoes could be prevalent of we're talking ef-2 on the enhance enhanced fujita scale. underway by tuesday, tuesday afternoon and then, of course, into wednesday we're expecting that system to slip and slide across the deep south.

anthony: atlanta, if you're ply -- flying in or out of the airport early on wednesday, flight delays and cancellations certainly on the board. so, molly, long story short, a lot that we're going to be keeping our eyes on by tuesday and on wednesday. but of particular concern is going to be friends and family in new orleans, louisiana. again, we're expecting lots of mardi gras celebrations to be taking place. i need you to be weather aware and stay weather ready in the event that a watch or warning is issued. moll hi? if moll if moll michaelest may, thank you so much. that early warning so is important for those girls just a little north. that swath of states. greatly appreciate it. all right, two health threats across the u.s., specifically a measles outbreak that is threatening americans many several stating, particularly in texas, killing at least one child in,. this is the first -- in texas. this is the first u.s. pleasings death in a a decade. how can you keep your family

safe? fox news senior medical analyst, the brilliant d. marc siegel -- dr. marc siegel. appreciate your time on this saturday morning. >> morning, molly. of. molly: this one's particularly serious. i, of course, vaccinations can help to keep people safe. that's' one way, i suppose. but your thoughts on measles outbreak and what american families need to know. >> well, first of all, molly, good morning. it's 164 cases in this country so far, 146 of them in that area of texas around gains county that you're talking about. and it is occurring, clearly, because of low vaccination rates. 8 2% of the people in that county are vaccinated. there's a lot of religious exemptions, mostly men no nights, religious -- mennonites. times it's because people aren't seeing doctors. but here's the problem with in this, measles is the most contagious respiratory virus on planet earth. it is amazingly contagious.

if you're sack city nateed or if you had measles as a child, you have almost 100% protection. if you got both shot, you're 97% protected against measles, and we need that herd immunity to protect those around as who can't get the shot like if they're pregnant or immuno-compromised. so using the measles shot to protect people. one shot is 93 effective. we've had slippage this in this country over the last five years or so so in terms of how many children are getting vaccinated. we're seeing the resurgence now in that county because of the low vaccination rate. so that's the most important thing you can do. and for people out there who are wondering, i can actually test your blood to see if you're immune or not. that's something that we're going to be doing more and more. molly: very interesting. you mentioned if you had the shot. i know many of us had the shots when we were very, very young and don't even remember getting them. the average population across america, do they need to be concerned, if you're 50 or 60

and you're pretty sure you had the measles vaccination, do you get another one, or do we not worry about that? >> i am not concerned about that population at all a right now. if i was living in the area, i might get it rechecked. one of the challenges here is something called contact tracing where the state health officials are trying to to figure out where people have been who have had the please billions there because you're supposed to be dub measles there because you're supposed to be isolated for 21 days if you've been in contact with the measles. but i just said it could be in a grocery store you were just in, and you don't know. and that's very hard to track. but i'll tell you another bit of good news. if you don't think you've been vaccinated and you get the vaccine, within 72 hours after being exposed you're going to get a tremendous effect to prevent you from getting anything like a severe case. the vast majority of cases are mild, but we are seeing about 1 out of 5 or to 1 out of 7 hospitalizations from this. it's not a benign disease.

hhs has sent 2,000 vaccines down there. they're working together with state health officials to try to get this under control and is squashed, and i think they'll succeed. molly: yeah. you also mentioned the mennonite community which canner -- which can be more likely to be unvaccinated. because that mean the the rest of -- does that mean the rest of the folks watching this should be more or less concerned? >> well, i think they should figure out what their community vaccination rate is, and this is a wake-up call, you know, for people that might think, oh, this isn't season something i have to worry about -- this isn't something i have to worry about. there's 10 million cases of meese ifings in the world, and 100,000 children die in the world every year. we stamped it out in the year 2000, europe did not. ing travelers bring it here, and we have to keep it on our radar especially now with childhood vaccination rates dropping. so that's key. i mean, staying healthy, by the

way, and being well nourished helps you even if you were to get measles. here's what you need to look out for. the first few days you get a fever, stuffed nose, aches and pains, you get red eyes a lot of the time, sores on the inside of your mouth. the actual characteristic bright, red rash we're talking about a five days in. but by then you may have spread it to other people. you want to be isolated if you have the measles. molly: dr. siegel, thank you very much. we greatly appreciate your insights on this, yet again an emerging threat. but there are, as you mentioned, many things that people can do about it, so we greatly appreciate it. dr. marc siegel, thank you. >> thanks, molly. molly: coming up, president trump and and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy cutting their white house meeting short. how that a war of words is affecting the war with russia. plus, anti-israel protests picking up again at u.s. colleges, and we will ask a jewish student if she feels safe on campus. and new details in the
