tonight, sean hannity sits down for an exclusive interview withites president j.d. vance, his first interview since that fiery exchange with ukrainian president zelenskyy and after protesters interrupted his family vacation and he had to move to an undisclosed location in vermont. and the president trump will deliver his joint address to congress. keith fed right here on fox news for our live coverage. so much more to come including the senate vote on the biological women in sports bill that we covered here today. we will let you know. keep a developing. thanks everyone for watching and now here's "america reports." >> i think the speech is going to be a farce. i think it is going to be a maga pep rally. >> we have someone occupying the white house and as far as i'm concerned, he is an enemy to the united states united states.

>> i really am puzzled why anyone thinks trying to be a peacemaker is a bad thing. it is only bad when it is president trump you're at it is to me. >> president trump is not the same as president biden view different priorities. once you negotiate a deal. >> it is the chaos of this presidency pure chaos is up. corruption is up. >> america has gone bankrupt, so that cannot happen. >> i know they do not have regard for them. they think they are disposable, that they make no contributions. >> john: democrats still reeling from the meeting with volodymyr zelenskyy and doge cuts. the president is already onto tomorrow, looking ahead to his joint session of congress across the street from us here appeared appeared to be to riding "tomorrow night will be big. i will tell it like it is." oh, well he? >> john: i'm sure he will. i'm john roberts and washington.

sandra, good to be with you. speak to you as well. a jam-packed two hours coming up here it's been one major announcement coming from president trump in just the next few minutes. >> sandra: i'm sandra smith in new york. this is "america reports." a taiwanese company is expected to invest $100 billion in chip manufacturing plants right here in the united states of america over the next four years. all of us on the heels of trump's contentious meeting with president zelenskyy. they failed to sign a deal that would give access to valuable ukrainian resources. >> john: after their heated meeting, is that still possible? live from the white house. has zelenskyy changed his mind on this deal? >> may be. we will see what actually ends up happening. they have tried to sign it a few times and it has gone off the rails.

european leaders told zelenskyy they have his back, but they need the u.s. to have theirs. that prompted zelenskyy to say he is in fact ready to sign the minerals deal, even though the show down in the oval office through all that the question. he says he is ready to talk to president trump only if he is going to be invited for a constructive dialogue and solving real problems. but zelenskyy may be overplaying his hand once again, putting up all his resistance. an administration source telling me officials are weighing suspending aid to ukraine after zelenskyy expressed confidence that something like that would never happen. here's what he said at the airport. >> we count on assistance from the united states of america without a doubt. i think stopping such assistance will only help with putin. i think leaders of this world will definitely not help putin.

>> president trump responded "this is the worst statement that could have been made by zelenskyy, and america will not put up with it. this guide does not want there to be peace as long as he has america's backing. cannot do the job without the u.s. probably not a great statement to have made in terms of a show of strength against russia. what are they thinking?" top republicans have suggested zelenskyy may need to resign if a deal is ever going to be possible. >> it was not clear to us that president zelenskyy was prepared to negotiate in good faith. for us, talking about the details and demands of security guarantees before as president trump said i don't know that we can get both sides to the table with the spirit. >> we do expect to hear from the president about a half hour from now when he makes that semiconductors announcement. he will probably say something

about all this. >> john: he will probably take questions for quite a while. we look forward to you being in there. now this. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> sandra: those are protesters rallying against elon musk's firings as democrats fume over a lack of response to president trump's agenda before tomorrow night's address to congress. "fuming democrats struggle with trump speech strategy." matt bennett is here. he will weigh in on that. first mark meredith is live out of washington for us. how are democrats trying to combat the trump administration? >> democrats do appear to be split about how to best respond including tomorrow night's address when he talks to congress. nearly a dozen plan to skip the joint address.

chris murphy among those expected not to show up, but others want to use the high-profile moment to highlight what they say are real problems. political writing "some are bringing guests to highlight the radical overhaul including union leaders, laid-off government workers, and others affected by the federal funding freeze." while some argue it is best not to respond to every controversy, others argue not responding is even worse. >> the problem is the democrats have been playing dead for too many years. i don't think you play dead. i think you stand up and make the point. >> tomorrow night, elissa slotkin will deliver the democratic for a bottle. calling her a rising star after she won her state in the seat that the president carried last november. generated buzz as former vice presidential nominee tim walz, open to potentially running for the white house again, but at the top of the

ticket. kind of floating it out there. we don't know whether or not, here is would choose to run again. she did not show up for last night's academy awards. rumblings she may have showed up there. instead her husband posted a photo of her enjoying some doritos instead. >> sandra: they can be delicious. let's bring in matt bennett, cofounder of roadway. the democrats are trying to figure a way to respond to the president's address to a joint meeting of congress. they might be well served to consider the results of the new poll conducted by the poster, 52% approve of donald trump. 58% think he is doing a better job than joe biden. 81% agree with his deportation of illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. 68% approve of his declaring there only to be two genders,

male and female. so, give -- and the democrat approval rating is 36% compared to 51% for republicans, so what can democrats effectively do to try to counter this tomorrow night? does not sound like much. >> right, i think tomorrow neither tools are very limited. i think that's going to be true for the next two years. a lot of attorneys general have been pursuing things that they've been doing, but the fact is republicans control all three big branches of government. house, senate, and white house. that means that democrats can simply point out things that they are doing that they think are damaging regular americans. the clip you just showed of those protests outside their old buildings are not effective ways of making this case. there are more effective ways, ways of pointing out that trump was elected to restore order and instead what he is bringing his

chaos. firing kind of arbitrarily veterans, firefighters, people working at the va. but if they are not very clear about the things that really matter to americans, then it is just going to be a model. it is a real challenge. >> john: the reason we specifically invited you on is because you recently held a retreat in virginia where you invited moderate democrats to try to figure out what's wrong with democratic party and how to fix it. here is what political wrote about that retreat. "the conversation centered on the parties disconnect with the working class. among the causes, weak messaging and communication, failure to prioritize economic concerns, over emphasis on identity politics, allowing the far left to decline down might to find the party, academia, media, government bureaucracy. those sounds like all good suggestions for what's wrong

with the party and maybe find a way forward or how to fix it, but judging on what we see, they are not listening. >> well, not yet. it was just a couple of weeks ago. we got a long time to figure this all out. when you are out of power as we are now, you are a party without a leader. republicans found themselves in that position during the joe biden years. until they had their presidential nominating process. that is where we are, so there's going to be a lot of debate inside the party. including people all the way on the far left, center left, even center right. there is a lot of debate about this, but our view as moderates is we are being defined by their radicals in our parties in ways that are incredibly unhelpful and don't point out a path towards victory. so we've got to turn that around before 2026 if we are going to

get back any power and the ability to stop some of the most damaging things that trump and musk are doing. >> john: 20 solutions for how they can try to reengage with working-class voters. among them, embrace patriotism, traditional american imagery. get out of elite circles and into real communities. gun shows, local restaurants, churches, on the failures and large cities and committed to improving local government. that sounds like a recipe for the democratic party to become the republican party. >> i don't think so. first of all, i am not sure what the repu republican party is an, just a reflection of what president trump says on any given day. republicans use to be in favor of taking on russia. now not so much the case. i do think it is true that democrats are moving too far to the left. just no doubt about that. the chair of the harris campaign

said one of the reasons she lost the election is because voters view her as dangerously liberal. i think that's true, and democrats are going to have to show voters that is not the case. most democrats running in most places are very moderate. they share their values. they understand their lives. we have work to do to make sure people understand that. >> john: great to catch up with you. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> john: all right, don't forget the big, big speech tomorrow night. >> sandra: we will have full coverage right here on the fox news channel. 9:00 p.m. eastern time tomorrow night. as we reported at the top of the hour, he's going to go big time with this, john, so we will be covering every minute of it. >> john: big announcement coming in about 20 minutes from now. $100 billion investment in the american computer chip industry. >> sandra: something we heard the president talk a lot about.

bringing manufacturing back to the united states. this is the way they want to spur growth. any moment president trump is set to announce this massive multibillion-dollar investment in chipmaking plans right here on american soil. we called david as men and on this one. he is going to break down what this means for you and the american economy after the break. >> john: plus a transgender registered sex offender in court today over accusations of flashing girls, young girls in a women's locker room. that stunning case next. plus this. >> so crazy. only the federal government could get away with this level of waste. >> just because people have jobs doing [bleep] does not mean your tax dollars should pay for this. >> sandra: elon musk with joe rogan touting how doge is working. why are some democrats still

questioning his loyalty to america? all new at 2:00, the interior secretary doug burgum is here. he will react to that.

>> john: a transgender sex offender appearing in court. repeatedly flashing women and children at northern virginia. what happened in court today? >> first of all, there was some thought that these hearings might be moved simply because this case has gained so much attention, and his attorneys as the judge to close the court room, not allowing press inside. but eventually the decision was made to move these hearings until may. richard kenneth cox recently started identifying as a woman.

a string of alleged indecent exposure incidents. this has become a national symbol for what many feel can go wrong when female only spaces are abandoned. they took place in public women's locker rooms operated after hours in northern virginia which allows changing facilities to be used based on gender identity. concerned parents have demanded a policy change. also lingering questions on why cox status as a registered sex offender went unnoticed for so long. body cam footage obtained by fox, the suspect told police that the neighboring fairfax county being transgender essentially cancels out being a sex offender. >> so, then pulling out my information on the predator registry and using it to stop me from exercising my civil rights as a transgender person is a criminal misuse of the sex offender registry.

>> civil rights their meaning the right to flash women and children, according to victims as they allege what happened. cox evaded prosecution in fairfax county in november and previously in june. the attorney general has set a letter to demand to take over that case is. what was supposed to happen today, i asked arlington county is progressive -- what pronouns would be used in court to address cox. she replied we will prosecute with the rigor and ethics we apply to all our cases, as the administration has done from the start pier department of education also investigating schools along with four other districts in the state for continuing those policies that allow biological males into female locker rooms, john. >> john: checking the sex offender registry is an abridgment of somebody civil rights. that's where we are today. thank you. appreciate it. >> sandra: you live look now at the white house where a lot

is about to happen. president trump is expected to be announcing a $100 billion investment from the taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company. really wanted to call you in here to tell our viewers not only what to expect from this but what it means for them to have this amount of private investment coming into america. >> it means that taxpayers are not going to be on the hook they were with all those biden programs. he had an idea of corporate welfare, putting the taxpayer on the hook for things like that ships act. 200 a.d. million dollar bill that had bureaucrats guiding the economic policy of chipmakers. what could possibly go wrong with politicians and bureaucrats guiding industrial policy? a lot. intel, one of the biggest beneficiaries, went down like a stone after they received the largest component.

i got $7 billion in loans and subsidies. but all that trump has been doing since he got an office is focusing on private investments. apple $500 billion investment pledge from apple. japanese bank came in. now we have taiwan coming in. private investment. taxpayers are not on the hook. private sector is on the hook. it is a huge difference in mentality between corporate welfare taxpayer -- taxpayer bailouts. we remember that from the financial crisis. it's a totally different strategy. >> sandra: just a reminder to everyone thinking about the supply chain crisis and dependent we were on companies all over the world to step in at a moment where we cannot get our dishwashers and refrigerators. it was terrible actually. so this will help alleviate that if we can make more of this at home. this is a tsmc, world's largest contract chip maker.

set down roots in arizona back in 2020 they are going to expand and they are already rapidly growing u.s. business. this could be good for all. what hurdles do you anticipate? >> the biggest hurdle i think is getting these tax cuts that were started in 2017 which brought a lot of business to the united states, getting those extended. if they are not extended by a congress that frankly needs to be pushed in the right direction, i am hoping that president trump will do to the house republicans and senate republicans in particular what he did with zelenskyy, spelling out what needs to be done. if we don't get these tax cuts extended, we are going to have a huge tax increase for 65% of american taxpayers, including on the corporate side, so we will

have far fewer companies coming in here with these investments because they won't have the incentives. trump is all about incentivizing the private sector to do more business. also about putting more money in our pocket, which we need with these tax cuts. speak to you seems to be working so far. howard lutnick on how tariffs -- still trying to figure out where this all goes next, how they will send manufacturing and production back to america. this was earlier today. >> we know it takes time to build plans and manufacturing, so we are going to come out with a model that incentivizes people to move it back. we need production back in america, and we are going to do it with tariffs. >> sandra: are you optimistic? >> the whole idea of these reciprocal tariffs is 150% on u.s. cars coming into india. they said we will do you a favor

and lower it to 100%. you wanted down to the same level we do. if it's reciprocal as opposed to being preemptive, and if we start at the same level as they do, maybe there will be a tendency to pull it down, but i cannot emphasize enough we have got to get the tax cut extensions in there. congress and particularly the republican senate have to do their job. >> sandra: quick doubt checked because there seems to be some growing concerns on the latest economic concerns. >> has sometimes come out with mixed figures. i don't trust them as much as other people do, but they had a prediction that gdp would be down by 1.5%. now they're saying it could be down by -- definitely a hangover from the joe biden economy. other than the deregulations, bringing business back into the united states which the market would perceive as good.

we need to get legislation through that will extend the tax cuts, provide more incentives, get the really power on the private economy. >> sandra: you did not disappoint. great to have you here. good build up to that event that's going to be happening moments from now. john. >> john: a new bell in new york would criminalize one of the main features of anti-israel protest cured what could potentially put protesters behind bars? coming up next. >> sandra: group of freed hostages on their way to meet with the trump administration. what will it mean for the cease-fire deal? special envoy to morgan ortagus is here.e! she is on deck. it was hard keeping plans. and look at me now! you'll never truly, forget migraine, but qulipta reduces attacks, making more zero-migraine days possible. don't take if allergic to qulipta. get help right away for serious allergic reactions like trouble breathing, face, lip, or tongue swelling, itching or rash which may occur when taking qulipta or days after. common side effects include nausea,

>> john: well, after some good news earlier, pope francis suffering from two episodes of acute respiratory failure today while still in the hospital recovering from double pneu pneumonia. back on mechanical ventilation less than a day after being

taken off of it. he is now on his 18th day of his stay in the hospital. prayers going out to the pope. >> sandra: absolutely. meanwhile, new york state bill targeting anti-israel protesters who flash flags. reporting live from new york city with us. you have been to a lot of these protest, and you have seen these flags. >> yeah, that more protest we went to in the past several months, the more these terror flags would pop up. shocking scene in new york city, near ground zero and the 9/11 memorial. now this new bill in new york can send anyone who carries one of those right to jail. it is called the stand against flags of enemy terrorists acts, going to go through and be introduced this week. it would mean carrying the flag of a terrorist group a class e felony. can send them to jail for up to

four years. the state has already banned the display of swastikas and other hate symbols in public, and this would add to that. [chanting] >> long live the fighter. >> we hear that too. recently this has bola flag was spotted in washington square park, holding a vigil for a terror leader who was taken out by an israeli air strike the other month. we did not have to search far to look for these video clips. marching around the big apple. shocking scene that has become more common since the october 7th attacks. this is near ground zero. this is i think for a lot of new yorkers who were here during 9/11, despicable. protest have continued, and now the doj will visit ten campuses that have been dealing with protest, threatening to pull

their funding. >> that is not free speech. they have tormented jewish americans. that is going to stop. the u.s. attorney's office file hate crime charges. >> that's what you hear from the jewish students. the doj is going to visit two campuses right here in new york. that would be nyu and columbia. >> sandra: all right, thank you. >> john: and as all of that is going on, the white house is still fighting for peace between israel and hamas, extending the cease-fire deal. comes a seven free hostages make their way to the u.s. to meet with trump administration officials as negotiations continue. let's bring an morgan ortagus. great to see you again. this is terrific. so let's talk about the first phase in the cease-fire. will there be a second phase?

israel has proposed a seven week extension to release 50% of the remaining hostages and remains at 50% of the hostages. hamas has said no way. >> we will see what happens. my boss is negotiating diligently to try to get this extension. president trump has made it clear nothing is more important to him then getting all our hostages home. all of the hostages. i can tell you it is something he has been passionate about. if you go all the way back to his speech at the rnc last summer, he talked to ben about bringing american hostages home. even before he was inaugurated, he sent him out to try to get this deal done wave after wave of hostages coming home, so i know they are doing everything within their power not only to support the state of israel but to demand for the release of these hostages. ultimately, sadly, a lot of this is up to hamas.

president trump has made it very clear. his words were "there will be hell to pay if these hostages are not released." >> sandra: great to have you on. benjamin netanyahu over the weekend saying israel has accepted president trump's envoy, steve witkoff's plan. half of the hostages would be released right away. the remaining half would be released if we reach an agreement on a permanent cease-fire. israel has accepted this plan, he says, but so far, hamas has rejected it. where does that leave things, and where does this go next? >> we are still in the middle of a negotiation. president trump has made it clear throughout the world and especially in the middle east he has a president of peace and diplomacy. he wants to bring needless wars and killing two and end. he wants to get the hostages home, but hamas has to be willing to continue to

negotiate. he said that there will be hell to pay off the hostages don't come home but also said he will leave it up to israel and support the state of israel, so we are trying to reach a diplomatic compromise here. diplomatic solution. nobody wants of course fighting and death to return. what we want is to get the hostages home, and that's why anybody who has influence here has to keep pressuring hamas because ultimately it's up to them. if israel has to go back into the fighting, president trump has said he will support them. our objective is to get the hostages home. >> sandra: israel say that they have halted ada being drawn into gaza. here is the trump administration response. "israel has negotiated in good faith since the beginning to ensure the release of hostages. we will support their decision on next steps, given they have indicated they are no longer interested in a cease-fire."

really is a difference in tone and degree of support. >> marco rubio signed $4 billion of military assistance that's in the form of munitions and weapons to israel. there is effectively a partial arms embargo in the biden administration, similar to what they did to ukraine, constantly made the cabinet tried to fight this war with one hand behind their back. actually extended the length of all these wars by only have supporting them, so we have effectively in the trump administration, there has been no better partner for peace and no better partner for a peacetime president trump. marco rubio to declare an emergency has it relates to israeli aid to get rid of the arms embargo. $4 billion. i think that subsite your signal and precedent that we are going to support our ally and friend state of israel. adding the hostages home and

give them the military equipment they need to ensure that hamas does not govern. president trump set a very clear redline, that they could not govern in gaza. steve witkoff's house. this is a united administration supporting israel, supporting our hostages to come home, also telling hamas you will not govern gaza. you are responsible for american blood on your hands. the biden administration really never made them pay for the american blood and hostages and we are giving them the weapons they need to finish the fight, forbid that is what it comes to, but we are hoping for peace. >> sandra: thanks for joining us. we are expecting to see and hear from president trump himself with a major investment announcement. we are going to take you there live. he could certainly take questions. plus this. >> are you ready to fight to save our city? i know that i am.

let's do it. let's do it together, and let's do it now. >> john: like the phoenix rising from the ashes, andrew cuomo seeking a political comeback after resigning in disgrace. but will his critics have a field day? on his chances and their race for mayor of new york city. on hallow this year? you bet brother. stay prayed up. yeah, you know it. hey, father. you joining lent again this year? of course. alright father. sister. you joining us again on the app this year, right? i am mark. i love it. hey, chris. yo. what's up? mark? you want to join us on hallow this year? join you on hallow? i was hoping. i was hoping you'd ask. yes. stay prayed up. can i say that? check it out. download hallow today. ♪ did you take your vitamin today? that's my job. ♪ nature made. the #1 pharmacist recommended

>> sandra: fox news alert here as we work our way through a busy afternoon. president trump is busy ahead of his announcement a few minutes from now. he just posted this on truth social to america's farmers geared up and go to the great farmers of the united states, get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold inside of the united states. terrace will go on external

product on april 2nd. have fun." says president trump. so there's a lot of anticipation for that. a lot of these farmers have been gearing up, trying to manage expectations for their own businesses, so we will see where that goes as markets try to anticipate where all this goes. all right, now this. >> john: with the growing season just about to start, probably good news for farmers. melania trump making her first solo appearance with a rare visit to capitol hill to show her support for the take it down act. aishah hasnie is live on the hill. this is a personal issue for h her. >> yeah, it is. you remember that the best campaign. of course online safety, very important to the first lady, but she has had her own run in with a racy photo that was going to be used during a political season back in 2016, so this is deeply personal for the first

lady. using her first appearance during this trump administration to back the senate bill that would put an end to all of that, even the ai generated images we've been seeing that have been targeting everyone from taylor swift all the way to school aged girls. the legislation requires platforms to remove those images within 48 hours of a victim's request and take reasonable steps to delete any copies of it too. interesting to note senator ted cruz is spearheading this, one of the cosponsors of the bill. you remember when then candidate trump accused his campaign of buying the rights to and providing a racy photo of melania trump. ted cruz denied that accusation and recently said it should not be up to just a sitting senator to be able to bring some of these photos down when there is a legitimate case that something has to be done, so this will start shortly. they will have a couple of different lawmakers for the round table as they try to get

the house to take this up and passing quickly. >> sandra: we will see what happens. thank you. now this. >> covid my friends, was the greatest threat faced in a generation. it was life and death. new york, we had at first, and we had it worse. everyone did their part. everyone held their position. and we kept this place, this great place running, and we saved lives, and we let the nation, so can we handle this challenge? can we turn the city around? you are [bleep] right, we can. >> sandra: andrew cuomo resigned under a dark cloud of multiple scandals, and now he wants to run new york city as mayor. a retired nypd inspector and fox news contributor. i'm sure you have a lot of thoughts on that. >> i was here for has a sense politically.

he has a lot to answer for. if you look at the litany of things that are really plugging new york city right now, most of them can be tied to him. if you look at the high cost of energy, he presided over the closing of the powerpoint, nuclear power plant. he closed out, completely shut down any possibility of new york fracking. new york has vast fracking reserves that could have been accessed. would have stimulated upstate new york which is always short of jobs. obviously the covid thank you takes a big victory lap, expecting nobody has any institutional memory, but of course his handling from not accessing some of the assets that donald trump sent but also what he did with the elderly in the nursing homes, gaslighting us on all that. plus i have to say and sort of summation if there is one thing that he has to own that i cannot see him explaining his way out of, the criminal justice ref

reforms. full-throated on supporting those things, from before george floyd going forward. he owns that. now talking about how he's going to turn the city around, make it safer. he's the one who drove it where it is. period. end of story. >> sandra: he seems to take a shot at the trump administration in his announcement that he will be running. here is more from sunday. listen. >> time is short, and we must do it now because things are getting worse. when the nation is searching for its soul, when it is divided as never before, when it's questioning our democratic values, questioning the very role of government. it's questioning the balance of power. new york must show the way forward. >> sandra: we will see how people feel about that, considering the outcome of the last presidential election.

unseating mayor eric adams. urging candidates, and this is brand-new sound from a news conference just moments ago, to get an original idea. here he has appeared. >> all i'm saying to all of t them, get an ally. an original idea. get your originality. don't run on what eric ran on and accomplished. >> sandra: ha. >> the best we can do. >> you remember one of the main controversies going on relative to eric adams as the situation relative to donald trump and sanctuary cities. sanctuary state as well. again, comes back to andrew cuomo up your designated us by executive order as a sanctuary state. what is his answer for the fact that we are overrun by gangs, crime, homeless? those are all andrew cuomo

effects. we need someone who is a moderate, and adult peer trying to make the right moves. realistically you have to forget his entire past and ignore the conditions that he's created a new york city today to pull the lever for that guy appeared to be two people are so hungry for answers. from the cuomo administration. for the absolute distress that the city is in as a result of crime, migration, so many problems, so we will be watching where all of that goes. you've got a "fox nation" special out on the violent venezuelan gang. "blood in america." >> you are going to learn a lot. i have been learning about this guy for a long time on the network. the producers were great. really professionally done. this gang is trouble. >> sandra: we will be watching for that. >> john: the latest on the deaths of gene hackman and his
