supported the bill in the house earlier this winter. most democrats are outraged they say people born as men and playing sports against women is not a problem. >> of the approximately 510,000 athletes who play at the ncaa level, ten are transgender. not 10,000, ten. >> president trump wants to prohibit money from going to states which allow those born as men from competing against women. dana. >> dana: chad, thank you so much. ten is ten too many. >> bill: before we go something great. bald eagle jackie and shadow are expecting triplets. three eggs. we've reached the stage there is a certain crack in the egg. last year the eggs failed to hatch. we are hoping this year. big for my sisters and my mom. they watch them all day long on this camera. >> dana: it is fun to watch them. hi to your mom as well. harris faulkner takes you through the next hour. here she is.

>> harris: the nation is perched to hear it. president donald trump is preparing to give his joint address to congress and all americans tomorrow night. something he will certainly touch on, ukraine and how america fits into a peace deal. you will hear me say it. who wants peace more? the president of this country or the president of ukraine? you could not tell that on friday. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." the tense oval office meeting between president trump, who wants this war to end, and ukraine's president zelenskyy on friday took over the news cycle. after a lot of blame and finger pointing, there is a most important question that popped. what is actually next for ukraine and for america? national security advisor mike waltz. >> time is not on his side. time is not on the side of just forever continuing this conflict. the american people's patience is not unlimited.

their wallets are not unlimited and stockpiles are not limited that we need for things around the world. the time to talk is now and what we're hearing in terms of alternatives, whether it's the democrats or leaders around the world, is essentially continuing this grinding world war i-style trench warfare that's a meat grinder of people, munitions, and national treasure. the president campaigned on ending this war. he was elected to end this war. >> harris: the president will reportedly meet today on this very issue with top national security advisors including secretary of state marco rubio and defense secretary pete hegseth. former u.s. ambassador to the european union gordon sondland was with me with breaking news on friday. he is with me today. we'll dissect it today. what's next. peter doocy now outside the

white house. >> there is quite a disconnect happening at the white house and with the allies in kiev because i have been told by senior official here that nothing will happen with this minerals deal until zelenskyy goes in front of cameras and makes an explicit public apology for the way that he behaved himself in the oval office with that meeting. but zelenskyy is out there now saying he thinks he can still get this minerals deal without saying sorry. >> we are not making any steps back. this is our policy. to be consistent regardless of what happened before, we are constructive. if we agreed that it will be signed from our side we are ready to sign. i honestly think the united states will be ready as well. maybe they need time to analyze some things. >> there is a desire by republicans in d.c. to make a

deal with ukraine ton way forward. after the friday morning dust-up they don't care if it happens with zelenskyy or someone else. nobody is saying who they think a suitable zelenskyy replacement would be. >> something has to change. either he needs to come to his senses and come back to the table in gratitude or someone else needs to lead the country to do that. it is up to the ukrainians to figure that out. i can tell you we are reexerting peace through strength. >> bill: we're hearing that president trump plans to talk about the end of the war in ukraine at some point tomorrow. one day closer to his self-imposed deadline to end the war within the first 100 days back in office. >> harris: great reporting on you to get that nugget. they want an explicit apology from zelenskyy. have we seen anything to point to that actually happening? >> no, nothing i've heard that zelenskyy's team have been calling their counterparts at the white house. but it just does not seem like

anything is going to happen unless president trump changes his mind and doesn't want a public apology nothing will happen. you won't get this deal and they are basically going to be in the time-out chair with the way the white house sees it until he comes up and says i am sorry for the way that i acted. >> harris: the ukrainian president taking it, call a friend when you are losing. this isn't a game show. peter doocy, thank you. it turns out president trump is not the first president to lose patience with zelenskyy. former president biden lost his temper, too. we know he had one. we saw it many times. a 2022 report resurfaced since the friday oval office meltdown and says biden had barely finished telling zelenskyy he had just green lighted another $1 billion in u.s. taxpayer military assistance for ukraine

when zelenskyy started listening all the additional help he needed and was not getting. biden lost his temper. the people familiar with that call said the american people were being quite generous and his administration and the u.s. military were working hard to help ukraine. he said raising his voice and zelenskyy could not show a little more gratitude. he could. biden wanted him to apologize and he wanted him to say thank you. that's a familiar theme. let's talk to someone who knows. gordon sondland, former u.s. ambassador to the european union under president trump. when you hear that now it makes friday make more sense to me. what about you? >> well, no one has been a bigger supporter of ukraine or president zelenskyy but i have to tell you, harris, he has really miscalculated this one in a big way. president trump is trying to give him something that is

actually better in the long run than an article v nato guarantee. that is billions of dollars of american investment and thousands of americans in the country working with the ukrainians alongside the ukrainians. the rare earth minerals are only the tip of the iceberg here. he is looking at a long-term major joint venture with the ukrainians. then he can look putin in the eye and say listen, the next time you take one inch of ukraine, you are going to hurt an american and now it is not a proxy war anymore. now you are going directly against our interests and you know what we'll do to you if you do that. which is a much better guarantee than this nato type of guarantee where you never know who is on first. it is also ironic that the europeans lambasted trump for kicking zelenskyy out of the white house. but this morning i was on a bbc program and they don't want to send british boys, as they call

it, to the front lines to act as peacekeepers. so which way do they want to have it? >> harris: you know how they want it. they always wanted us to pick up the bill and be the people on the front lines and in danger, us not to lead the way to follow them but act like we like that. that's a lot. do you think that we get an apology from the president of ukraine? a public apology? >> i think there needs to be a public apology and president trump needs president zelenskyy to apologize to the american people but not just he and the vice president personally. i think the american people, by having seen what the sausage making that normally goes on behind closed doors, having seen that same sausage making going on in front of dozens of media representatives, now understand what president trump is up against here. >> harris: i'm glad we saw it. otherwise we wouldn't know what

was going on. >> exactly. >> harris: this administration promised transparency and boy, was it every. zelenskyy must mend the breach with trump or resign is a column. they argue zelenskyy's stubbornness has badly hurt ukraine. more from national security advisor mike waltz. >> both sides are going to have to make come promises. a lot of people can see what those roughly will be in terms of security guarantee for some type of territorial concessions. those broad outlines are evident. do both sides have the will to sit down and drive this towards peace? that's president trump's objective. >> harris: tell us how it works. when someone walks away from the table from a deal. should they expect to come back to that same deal or is there a penalty for that? >> well, i've learned two things in business negotiation. i have had similar career to

president trump maybe not as illustrious but i know that 99% of the movement in a deal happens in the last 1% of the time available. and we're kind of there now. so i fully expect there is a lot going on behind the scenes between subordinates, whether it's between secretary rubio and the foreign minister, or whether it's between steve witkoff and president zelenskyy, but there is a lot of talking going on right now. i think that now an apology has to be curated. i believe that president zelenskyy thought, when he left ukraine and flew to washington, he thought he could either schmooze trump to including security guarantees or if that failed bully him or embarrass him, i guess, into including security guarantees by showing those awful pictures, you know, of dead ukrainians in the oval

office. of course, neither of those worked. he should have read the room better. >> harris: pressure to reject the mineral deal. it talks about a friday tweet or post on x from democratic senator chris murphy posted right after his meeting with zelenskyy and right before president trump and it says just finished a meeting with the president zelenskyy here in washington. he confirmed the ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for ukraine. i can tell you, everybody read that. i want to know how you take it in terms of the negotiations. >> well first of all, it is completely an insult. i thought that politics stops at the water's edge. this was an opportunity for the democrats, all be it reluctantly, to support president trump. what president trump is doing is he is putting putin in a very

difficult position. they just don't see how to connect the dots. and i think for murphy to say something like that particularly given his position is shameful. >> harris: ambassador, it is always great to have you with your expertise. thank you so much and your time. appreciate you. >> thanks for having me. >> harris: protests in iowa after governor kim made iowa -- excuse me, governor kim reynolds made iowa the first state to declare sex, male or female from birth. the governor says it is a big step in protecting women. plus the president's big speech tomorrow night. last go around looked like this from democrats. >> i remember going through this in his first term. the insanity. they dressed in white. they wouldn't stand up for anything. >> nancy pelosi ripped up his state of the union speech behind him. >> harris: democrats are miles

>> harris: remember that time the nation watched president trump give a joint address to congress and the american people? that very first time early in his term just like now. it got ugly. actually that happened a few times. democrats booed, chanted, walked out during some of those big moments. this time hakeem jeffries is urging his party to bring guests affected by the president's policies. nancy pelosi ripped up a copy of trump's 2020 state of the union speech.

now she says democrats should stay out of the spotlight. others say they simply won't show up. >> every democrat needs to make up their own mind. i think that speech will be a farce, i think it will be a maga pep rally, not a serious talk to the nation. i am not going to be a part of that. >> i hope they respect the decorum of the institution. it is really important. we should respect the president. everyone should stand and give him an ovation for what he has been able to accomplish in the first few weeks. it is incredible what the new trump administration is doing. it is good for all americans and everyone will see that very soon. >> harris: alease slotkin from michigan will deliver their rebuttal to his address and the moderate who won her swing state last year despite trump's victory there. in "focus" now ari fleischer

former white house press secretary and fox news contributor. tell me about elise slotkin and what you expect to hear from her. >> it is an interesting choice. it signals to democrats the moderates the representation who and what it is to be a democrat. it is an interesting choice in that sense. the democrat problem remains that their energy remains with the left wing base that is out of touch with america. the guys compete against girls in sports space. that's the problem they have. it is a good choice to signal being a different party but they are still the same party. that's the problem. >> harris: is it better for them not to come rather than show up in front of the public and try to get in trump's way at this point as he is giving his message? >> i think it would be a tragic mistake for the democrats to boycott president trump's speech to congress. you can't complain that donald trump violates the norms and you

go out and double down and violate more norms. what's refreshing about american politics today unlike 2017 where it was all about he is an el -- now we are fighting over policies. this is the way america should be built. let the democrats go be respectful, listen to the president of the united states and make their policy case about why he is wrong. you have to show up. you have to go to your job and listen to the president to do that. i think it's just a terrible signal if the democrats don't show up. >> harris: you hit a nerve when you talk to democrats about showing up for work. elon musk wants to know who is showing up for work. if they join the crowd not showing up to work they'll have to give five things they did last week. the left's disarray goes beyond the address tomorrow. headline, democrats' rule book resistance to trump fails to capture the imagination. here is part of it.

democrats' messaging has changed little from rhetoric about the dictatorship they claim trump wants to create and their disconnected network of lawsuits that held the party back by rallying supporters around the single cause. your reaction. >> let me express some sympathy for the democrats. when you are in the minority party, you don't have the house or senate and you don't have the white house, your best hope is that the other party is unsuccessful and unpopular. so you should go after that other party and attack attack attack. they really don't have any chance to have their own agenda. they can retoreically have their own agenda more centrist one and they should. their best hope to get back into political good graces a for donald trump to be unpopular and therefore they win a counter election in the mid-terms and then they will be pressed to have a presidential candidate who is a centrist and has good ideas. i have sympathy for a minority party lost in the wilderness

that all they can do is criticize the president of the united states. there is nothing wrong with the democrats doing that. >> harris: if it were as simple as them criticizing him. they say this is war politically. they don't even -- they say the word war. i cleaned it up with politically. they should do that at their own. a serious face plant. friday the dnc posted on x a 32-point list titled what democrats did in february. i guess they got elon musk's letter mocking musk and his letter that said what did you do this week. the dems' list was boring. critics mocked it so hard a top dnc official said it is full of tiny text on purpose. the internet thinks we're morons

this time. epic fail. >> not to give advice to the democrats but i will give them advice. they would have been better off if they said -- i'm an analyst. here are the five -- they would have been better off saying here are the five things donald trump and the republicans did wrong last week and public that once a week. picking up my point from the last question. when you are in the minority your best chance is to take down the majority, point out what the majority did wrong and hope the country agrees and opens their eyes to the team they threw out, the democrats. that's how politics works. democrats are still in an ideological wilderness because i said earlier. greatest vulnerability they are essentially a far left party. kamala harris ideological left wing party that is out of sync with america. identity politics party. they have to shed those things. that's the internal fight inside the democrat party.

if they don't it won't matter how unsuccessful donald trump is. the democrats have made themselves more unpopular and possible donald trump will be very successful. they have to deal with this ideological battle that's coming inside the democratic party. >> harris: you put it so beautifully. okay, if you want to go after the president but you have to have your own ideas because what if you catch the car, then what will you do? i wrote it down. ideological wilderness. bumper sticker material from ari fleischer today. always great to have you. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> harris: be sure to watch right here on fox for president trump's joint address to congress and the nation. tomorrow night 9:00 p.m. eastern. after the speech the best analysis in our business. the trump administration's push to root out woke is moving on. training for law enforcement is now off the justice department's website. plus the department of government efficiency or doge is

moving forward full head of steam here despite opposition from the left. >> the american people do not want to be told the government is so wonderful that it cannot be reformed, it cannot be touched. i think the democrats are walking into a blind canyon where they will end up looking like they don't understand the average american at all. >> harris: president trump and elon musk continuing their work on government waste management. that's one way to put it. they are looking to root it out. let's hear from the veteran affairs secretary doug collins. i can't wait. he is in "focus" next.

dressed in women's clothing with makeup on to cover up tattoos he said was all to conceal himself. he changed his plea this morning in court just as opening statements in his trial were about to begin. now here is the list. he is charged with 21 counts of first degree murder. 48 counts of attempted murder. 48 people were wounded, seven people died in the shooting in high land park, illinois. he is expected to be sentenced to life in prison. >> massive government reform is not perfect nor is it pretty but it is necessary work that most presidents have refused to do. every president has refused to do. >> harris: white house press secretary spoke over the weekend as senior advisor to president trump elon musk sent another round of emails to federal workers. they again must list five things they accomplished last week.

elon musk was on joe rogan's podcast and went after the critics. >> the dem leadership or political leadership, the issued instructions and puppets carry it out. >> if you bring it back to the idea it's a business. this would never be tolerated in any kind of functional business. >> i thought it would be bad but i didn't think it would be as bad as this. >> harris: take a look at the new poll. it shows a majority of americans believe trump is changing the way government works. 81% say he is making major changes. 51% approve of his efforts to cut staff at government agencies. a new opinion piece with this headline. trump forces democrats into defending the indefensible. democrats are scrambling to defend their opposition to doge and the audit. they are pulling out all of the stops. democrats can defend the

indefensible for as long as they want but voters are starting to catch on. they have lost the public's trust. yet they keep doubling down on stupid. end of quote. veterans affairs secretary doug collins in focus in a moment. let's begin with jackui heinrich. >> doge is charging on despite the criticism from democrats and this time the pentagon is participating. secretary of defense pete hegseth telling all civilian employees they will need to respond to the email, despite telling them not to participate with the last round. he says all d.o.d. civilians will be taken to comply with the initiatives. reports will be consolidated within the department to comply with the opm director. responses due in 48 hours. people being told to reply. they must exclude classified or

sensitive information. the social security administration might be next in line to see big layoffs. 10% of the workforce on the chopping block. in an interview on friday musk called the benefits program a ponzi scheme. mike johnson said people -- >> we have a moral responsibility to insure the programs are conducted in a way that does not allow for this massive fraud and abuse. he is finding that one social security numbers can be assigned to hundreds of people. every time there is a check distribution it goes to all the different addresses. there was no safeguard in the existing software to prevent it from happening. that's outrageous. >> the agency notified employees last week to prepare for significant workforce reductions. also saying if they don't want to go through the restructureing they can retire or resign.

>> harris: all right, jackui, thank you very much for getting us started here with doug collins, veterans affairs secretary. great to see you. congratulations on that role. this is the first time i've seen you since. let's talk about doge. in particular what it would mean for your department. >> well, i think what we've hit there i love how this is spinning out of control that all of a signed we are making major changes. the 7% believe he is making no charges. i don't know where they've been. for us it's easy. we have a couple of folks employees of the v.a. who work oz the doge liaison to look at struck or and contracts and look at things that need to be looked at. that's the important part here. it goes through every position and not just government. government is -- we hear government and business, well government has similarities to business as well. people want to see it work for them and why we put the veteran first here at the v.a. anything we're doing is designed

and will not cut veterans health or veterans benefits they've earned. that's something as you and you talked about before, something that has been kept and this president proper depths. we'll find efficiencies the right bay. >> you have liaisons in place to do the work of finding the cuts. you know you need to do it and have the things you want to protect. talk to me, if you can, about where you are looking to necessarily cut with the v.a. my proximity to being military, i was the child, i'm a dependent of a colonel dad. people ask me what do you think they'll cut? what are you looking at? >> here is the first thing to look at. something we announced last week. consulting contracts. the government in general uses more outside consultants than they really should. we have a department of 470,000 right now that is -- we were spending amazing amounts of money on outside consultants

helping us do power points and meeting notes. having executive support. again large opening here. these are things that are not directly affecting our veterans services. our veteran care and health. wait times at hospitals are getting out to the community. that has been ignored at the v.a. and not ignored anymore. get out into the community. we'll make sure our benefits are streamlined to make sure that in the sense of streamline i mean that they will have contracts that are working to help that, not go to a frivolous issues. a lot to work on here. joe biden administration actually increased the benefit or the budget over here by 130 billion in four years, increased it by 80,000 employees. we had the backlog in veterans benefits at 40,000 under donald trump. up to almost 225 or more thousand when we took over.

>> harris: that's a travesty after all they've done for this country. okay. you are looking at all of that up close. i appreciate that specificity. independent vermont senator bernie sanders calls himself a democratic socialist is doing some dodging when he is asked about doge. watch. >> should the democratic party have done more to address some of those issues with the insolvency of our entitlement programs? >> when trump was in power four years before that. we should go after waste, fraud and abuse in every agency in government. no argument about that. let us be very clear, what republicans are trying to do right now is to make massive cuts in medicaid. >> harris: is that true? >> no. that's not. that's what congress has got to deal with. i have had a lot of senators and

some house members as well especially from the other side make claims that aren't true. i'm trying to fight this. i will need your help. when they tell us that possibility of healthcare delays for veterans. when they say we're hurting veterans in certain areas. when benefits are getting cut and they have no actual experience in it or have no actual examples of it all they are doing is putting fear into the veterans. as the child of a veteran it is not something that should be done. it's inexcusable. let's deal in facts. we aren't cutting healthcare or benefits. facts are we're working to make it more streamlined so just last week we finished more veteran benefits disability claims in a year than we did earlier in theier than we have. a million claims. quit trying to scare people and ideologue this and get to work on the real issues. >> harris: tell us in a line your service? >> i was in the navy and 23 years air force colonel. served in iraq, iraq war veteran

and got one more year left and i can retire. >> harris: thank you for all of your service and those men and women know that you have been in those roles before. appreciate you. good to see you. >> thanks. >> harris: a sex offender who claims to be transgender is in court. he faces some serious charges after indecent exposure in women's restrooms. this comes as critics are arguing americans are sick and tired of progressive gender laws. >> bottom line is majority of americans reject this absurd tee. made very clear on november 5th. i believe people turned out to the polls to embrace donald trump and his cabinet picks and embrace america first agenda. >> harris: republicans are daring senate democrats to block their bill to protect women's sports. lisa boothe on the mezz with me in person in "focus" next. there she goes. at ameriprise financial we know our clients

>> harris: a battle now over biological men in women's spaces erupting in a small virginia town now. watch this issue creep across the country. it was one of the issues in november in the election. a sex offender who claims to be

a transgender woman is due in court after repeatedly flashing young children and women at schools and recreation centers in northern virginia. people are saying liberal laws allowed this to happen. alexandria hoff is in arlington, virginia. his name is richard cox, a biological male. is expected to be in court today. >> yeah, harris richard cox faces more than 20 charges with incidents of indecent exposure and for being being a tier three registered sex offender. the most serious category. he is accused of utilizing a locker room loophole to gain access to changing areas after hours by school districts. arlington public schools allows for individuals to use facilities matching their gender

identity. his sex offender status earned in the 90s went unnoticed. in body camera video the suspect tells police in neighboring fairfax county in november that being a sex offender shunned stop him from getting inside changing areas. >> so them pulling out my information on sex offender register and using it to stop me from my transgender -- it is a misuse of the sex offender register. >> getting nude if front of women and children allegedly. cox evaded pas cougs in november and more accusations if june. virginia's attorney general has demanded to take that case over from that county. the department of education is launching and investigation for continuing policies that allow

locker use on gender identification. arlington county the schools made one chooing. cross checking people's ideas with the sex offender registry before allowing them into their facilities. >> harris: i have so many questions. that's a man. i have so many questions. have to let you go. thank you, great reporting. republican governor kim reynolds has made iowa the first state in the nation to remove extra protections for transgender people from its civil rights code. there is movement on this issue now. the bill that she signed into law on friday specifies that sex is now quote the state of being either male or female as observed or clinically verified at birth. it also says gender, when used alone shall not be considered a shorthand for gender identity. the governor. >> it's necessary to secure genuine equal protection for women and girls.

it is why we have men and women's bathrooms but not men and women's conference rooms. girls and boys sports but not girls math and boys math. separate men and women's prisons but not different laws for them. what this bill accomplish eaves is strengthen protections for women and girls and i believe that it is the right thing to do. >> harris: lisa boothe, great to see you. >> thank you, governor reynolds, it is common sense. we've seen the perversion under joe biden telling us women can be men and men can be women and elevating individuals to the top ranks of his administration. we saw it play out in the election. kamala harris is for they/them. president trump is for you.

it moved the needle to president trump biff 2.7 percent according to a pro-harris super pac. it's a winning issue for republicans. democrats continue to want to take the 20% for some reason. >> harris: does she get something started now, governor reynolds? >> she gets something started. i also think because president trump has come out so strongly and declared that men are men are men and women are women. you'll see the continued boldness like this and elsewhere throughout the country. what you see in the congress now, too, with the senate and house trying to protect women's sports. >> harris: exactly. republicans will dare democrats to block the senate from voting on the protecting women's and girls in sports act. who is against this really? it bars biological men from competing in women's sports. senate votes tonight to advance

the bill for a full vote. seven democrats would need to vote yes. that is almost certainly not going to happen. the house approved its version of the bill in january with only two democrats backing it. senator tommy tuberville has been on the program to talk with us about it and was in "focus" recently. >> this past four years gender has been under attack. it goes back to one thing. common sense. let's get back to family and two genders, let's get back to allowing women and girls to have the same opportunities as well. if we don't do that and now and stick with it and get this made permanent, we will continue to have problems. >> harris: the senator has told me time and time again it is about the safety of young girls and women. the issue has become a cultural flash point. some vulnerable democrats are changing their tune. mid-terms are coming up i will guess in a year and a half. maine's golden is one of them. he has a history of supporting

legislation to allows males to play in female sports. days ago he said biological boys should not compete in sports against biological girls. an overwhelming majority of people including democrats say girls and women's sports should be for girls and women only. >> he represents maine's second congressional district. donald trump won that congressional district that cycle. he is vulnerable there and seeing his state become ground zero in the fight with the direct confrontation between the governor there and trump administration. democrats continue this weak argument of it's a just a handful of people. we've made it by the ncaa president. it is a trickle now but a flood later. we've seen youth identify as transgender quadruple. those numbers will continue to grow. also ask people like mcnabb, a high school volleyball player

who faced partial paralysis as a result of being injured by a man in women's sports. ask some of these young women forced to view a man's genitalia in the women's bathroom against their will if this is wrong. good for republicans. not only is it a winning issue but the right position to take. >> harris: i saw that from ncaa leadership. 510,000 athletes, ten are transgender people. >> it is a trickle now, a flood later. this is protecting in women's sports now but for future generations. so many women out there you have the famous female athletes. you are cowards for not standing up. i tore my acl and i can understand the amount of work it takes for these young female athletes. to have it be denied by men is

wrong. >> harris: there are names that pop up. a legend in women's sports in te tennis. where are the feminists? how can they watch the pressure on title ix that it puts on title ix. where are they now? >> they are cowards, you have the maine representative gerad golden. maybe we'll see some democrats change their tune on this issue. i cannot for the life of me understand how people continue to appeal to this delusion that men can be women or women can be men. >> harris: wow. on that note we'll be watching that vote. let's take their names is what republicans are saying of those democrats who vote against protecting women and girls in sports. "outnumbered" after the break. thank you for being with you. >> love you, harris. >> harris: love you back.
