their own taxpayer money, they wanwant the rest of the american taxpayers to pay for it. it's incredible they would ever ever keep pus pushing this insa. trump has said we are not funding your mess anyone anymore. we are cleaning up this house. policies undermining the stability and security of your cities. that's over. and it's insane they will keep crashing the car into the house we are trying to rebuild. >> todd: policies like new york's is incentive if they're going to be getting these things. i'm curious to see if federal funding goes away if that stops. senator ashley moody. thank you for your time. enjoy tonight's joint address. >> carley: that's right. we all be will be. >> good morning. >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. have a great day, everybody. ♪ >> brian: all right. it is 6:00 a.m. on the east

coast. tuesday, march 4th, this is "fox & friends." president trump set to address the nation tonight and it's all about the renewal of the american dream. i'm live in washington to preview the action. florida congressman brian mast, treasury secretary scott bessent, and press secretary karoline leavitt will all be with me this morning if the car arrives on time. >> steve: you are all in one car? >> carley: what a lineup. >> lawrence: that's right. trump pausing all aid until ukraine gets serious about a peace deal. j.d. vance spelled it out exactly why the negotiations well, how they broke down. >> there was a lack of respect. certain sense of entitlement. most importantly, look, we can look past all that stuff, the president has set a very clear goal for his administration, he want the killing to stop. >> trump tariffs taking aeffect while you were sleeping. look at that how china and canada are already responding and what it means for you.

"the big money show's" taylor rition is going to explain it all. >> steve: "fox & friends" for march 4 marches forth starting right now. let's start at the beginning focus of the renewal of the american dream. >> ainsley: madeleine joins us now for what we can expect tonight during his speech. hi, mediterranean. >> madeleine: gomad. this is the first speech since taking the white house. karoline leavitt is calling it must-see tv. the president's speech will feature four main sections the president's accomplishments in his second term so far. the administration's actions on the economy. the need for more border security funding and the president's plans for peace around the world. >> i always say when you are on camera, try to be stoic and try not to show your cards.

i'm going to have fun tomorrow because the president of the united states is he going to make a lot of good arguments. talk about a lot of the successes we have had in first 45 days. he is also going to be himself which means he's going to poke a little fun and have a good time tomorrow. i'm just going to try enjoy it. >> madeleine: elon musk is attending tonight as the president is expected to tout doge's efforts to cut costs. here are some of the other guests expected to show up. house speaker mike johnson touting illegal immigration and energy in his guest list. hayes' husband was killed in a drunken driving incident by a migrant who was in the country illegally. commonwealth lng chair also one of johnson's guests. on the democrat side many of them will be bringing fired federal workers at their guest. a bit of division how they should respond to the president's speech. some of them are considering not showing up. house minority leader hakeem

jeffries does want members attend he says to show that there is a strong opposition party ready. lawrence, steve, ainsley, and brian. >> steve: all right, madeleine, thank you very much for that. >> lawrence: them bringing the fired workers. i don't think that has the punch they think it's going to have. people get fired in average day work every single day in the private sector. i don't know what message they are trying to send by bringing them versus the republicans that are bringing people that have been killed by illegals or highlighting the doge cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. i don't think the punch that they are trying to show is really going to stick. >> well, i think what they are trying to do. they will be interviewed before and after the event tonight. i think what they are trying to do is say look at this guy. bill wilson from fairfax, virginia. he was fired. he has got a wife and family and fired by heartless elon musk. they are going to try to put a face on it. the problem for the democrats is, right now, they don't have a good me messenger and they don't have a good message.

they talked about boycotting. they talked about walking out. apparently they are going to wear different colored outfits. women, let's see the female congressional black caucus is going to wear black to capture the somber's mood. the women democratic caucus wear pink talking about taking noise makers and stuff like that. they will look ridiculous doing hand clappers while he is speaking. >> ainsley: during a closed door meeting lawmakers yesterday were discouraged from using all these props like the noise makers. the hand, pocket con stiewption. the empty egg containers and the signs with anti-trump and doge messages on them. >> brian: yeah, i mean right now a lot of the democrats say let's just lay back. james carville is saying that if you see a lot of the other moderate democrats on the outside like rahm emanuel they are saying pick your spots. let's see where the economy governments you really can't put the economy on the president.

he has only had the job for seven weeks. is he going to point out executive order the success he has had. going to talk about his astounding record at the border can anyone even challenge it? the fact is he is cracking down in the area i wasn't expecting. on the cartels. the drug cartels. are you prodrug cartel? are you going to come out and not clap for that? he actually had a chance those cartel members that killed americans and brought them to american prisons. now 900 arrests inside mexico. those are the ones making the drugs. those are the ones who are bringing them to our borders. those are the ones who are going after our border patrol and makes it unsafe. i think he is also going to have tom homan as a guest to underline that i think that will be big. also the fact is when the president took over he said i want those hostages back. they are coming back slowly from israel. they are in to israel. and they are going to be there, i think at least one will be at the event. i think the president is going to be pumped up. he is going to be releaksed. ret

it hakeem jeffries said show up and be strong and do what you have to do but show up. just because you don't like the results of the elections, you can't challenge the election, maybe you don't like the ukraine policy. so show up, do interviews after but be there. >> ainsley: be respectful, listen to the president. you know, this is about coming together as a country. there are wars in the middle east, we're worried about china, we're worried about russia. let's come together as a country. democrats and republicans. hopefully his message will bring everyone together. >> steve: this is going to be the largest tv audience he had. probably bigger than the inauguration. people are busy during the middle of the day. this is going to be at 9:00 at night. people want to know, you know, that he probable missed, when he was running, that he was going to fix america. that's why they are calling it the renewal of the united states. for the most part. the one thing that i think he

needs to address as well is the tariffs. they went into effect six hours and seven minutes ago. wall street thought this was going to be another one of those head fakes. he is threatening to have them go into effect. they are never going to happen. as it turns out, he made it very clear in that availability from the roosevelt room yesterday that they were going to go into effect last night. that's why the market sold off # hundred points. what he needs to do tonight is explain to the people who are worried. people are finance fixed income and people who have money in the stock market and with the 4 401(k) contactually what he is trying to do and why they should not be worried. >> lawrence: yeah. the big story today is also the president yesterday, after zelenskyy released another x post and a video. it upset the president, i think it was predictable. he is halting all u.s. aid to ukraine until he says zelenskyy is ready to make a deal.

>> ainsley: putting a pause on weapons including in transit or waiting there in poland. j.d. vance was on with sean hannity yesterday talking about all these issues. talking about how the whole peace deal blew up in front of our eyes on national television when zelenskyy and president trump and j.d. vance among other leaders were there in the oval office. this is what he says happened. >> try to sort of bend over backwards to be gracious and kind to zelenskyy, even when zelenskyy was needling him. when it really went off the rails, of course, is when i asked the polish journalist who and had a question. the president answered it and then i answered it. and then something about my answer just really set zelenskyy off. obviously there are 100 it television cameras. the president as we were going back and forth i tried again maybe we should have this conversation in private. the president was like nope, actually, i don't want to have it in public. i want to have this conversation

in public for the american feel see. i think there was a certain sense of there was a lack of respect there was a certain sense of entitlement. most importantly, look, we can look past all that stuff, but the president has set a very clear goal for his administration, he wants the killing to stop. i think that it's very important that president zelenskyy, and, of course, president putin, too, they have both got to come to the negotiating table and that's ultimately where things broke apart. >> lawrence: so, brian, what is he doing? >> brian: what do you mean? what is the president doing? >> lawrence: what is zelenskyy doing right now. >> brian: number one what the vice president says and to go over what he just said, when the vice president said that, is he just try -- zelenskyy's point was vladimir putin does the killing. vladimir putin did the invading. vladimir putin has been killing since 2014. in 1 # 7 we were promised security while he was still acting on the stage somewhere. and he was elected to bring peace to vladimir putin. you talk to vladimir putin,

every single time, 25 times. he has lied to him in the past. that was his point. if you watch that 50 minutes. the first 40 minutes were perfect. in fact, they were getting along great. i don't know why it went on so long. when that polish reporter asked the question, it seemed to set off zelenskyy who then in comes the vice president. so, they both should keep the big picture in mind number one if the president wants negotiation he shouldn't do russia a favor and cut off aid for ukraine. he did russia a huge advantage. what is russia's to get to the table. zelenskyy, he should say this is a great deal. how did it get off the rails? i should put my pride aside. pick up the phone before the speech and say, mr. president, let's work this out. you do the mineral deal. we are talking about the 30,000 troops from france and england and maybe another country.

get russia to the table. when you get russia to the table we will see how sincere they are. zelenskyy's goal should be then when they start making their demands which as of today are obscenely lopsided million man army of ukraine to 85,000, demanding elections, which is rich because putin doesn't have elections. he kills his opponents. more land call it a cease-fire. if you look at the track record. russia is going to invade again in six years. >> steve: here's the thing. when donald trump had zelenskyy thrown out of the white house it. became very clear that zelenskyy was not going to get that minerals deal until he apologized to the president. you know, 48 hours goes by. >> lawrence: he still hasn't. >> steve: no apology. absolutely not. what happens on sunday? zelenskyy goes and cozies up to

the eu. people over in europe. they will talk about how they will help execute the war with ukraine and russia as well. and i think trump probably said fine, you guys, zelenskyy and europeans, you figure it out. i'm pulling the plug. trying to exert maximum pressure on zelenskyy. he realizes a lot of stuff in the pipeline hasn't been delivered. he is trying to get them toe realize you need the united states more than you think you do. >> lawrence: yeah. but he is still not realizing it. >> steve: he's not. >> lawrence: i see what brian is saying about the historical perspective. none of that matters right now. i think that's what the president is saying. to the president's point and the vice president's pointed, they listened to a 30-minute lecture from zelenskyy, bringing props. >> brian: lawrence, it wasn't a lecture. it was a give and take. >> lawrence: he was advised by the people in the senate not to

do it. advised by the vice president. advised by marc. don't go this there lecturing the president showing photos about what is happening. the president is aware of that instead the president was gracious. he allowed him to make his point. when j.d. vance decide he was going to push back against a reporter. not even zelenskyy, a reporter he completely lost it. bad move from zelenskyy not being humble. >> ainsley: when you watched in this is going to be great. donald trump has been in office five weeks. going to end this war and have a hand in this. you see it go off rails i was proud of donald trump. is he showing america is strong. you are not going to take our money and weapons without saying thank you. j.d. vance said we have been sitting here for a long time and have you not once said thank you. zelenskyy used to be so grateful to america. remember that? i just thought, wow, he is exhausted. three years of war. what is happening? he is talking about stepping down if they join nato.

is he sick of this job? is he tired? what's going on in his emotional state? and then so there is a part of you that knows that so many babies and women and people have died but donald trump is trying to end that. so then when he went on with bret baier that night and half hearted may a cope part of didn't say i'm sorry repair this relationship. >> brian: if there was phone gradual zelenskyy that, would be a great thing to add to the speech. and being that -- by the way, friends can find never broke off. france didn't back us in france. keep in mind. whatever you think of zelenskyy. ukraine is an ally of america. russia has been nothing but an enemy to america and what set

him off. >> zelenskyy has to keep the big picture in mind what does it take to keep this coalition together. pick up the phone and say listen, i went off the deep end i thought about it. let's get this thing going again. it's a phone call away. i like the framework. i brought the paperwork with me. i will sign it or do an everify or whatever docusign and send it out to you. let's get started. that would be a great thick to add to the speech tonight. >> steve: as it turns out. there will be a lot of support for ukraine from the democrats. they're being told, you know, some of them are going to be wearing blue and yellow which are, of course, ukrainians colors. there are going to be guests as well that advance the agenda of the republicans melania tonight first lady going to have somebody impacted by deep fake.

inappropriate image, allison berry she has been on this program. yesterday melania was it's a bipartisan bill and what it does it somebody postst something inappropriate and it could be a deep fake, not even real, ai, about you and you are embarrassed. you contact that social media company or that tech company and they got take it down fast or they are going to be in trouble. could end one a big penalty or jail time. >> lawrence: it's unbelievable you need legislation like this to get this done. >> ainsley: only reason is because this is a new thing. the internet age has not been around all that long. they are realizing that children's lives being ruined. here is melania. >> i'm here with you today with a common goal. to say protect our youth from

online harm. the widespread presence of abusive behavior in the digital domain effects the daily lice of our children, families and community. addressing this issue is essential for fostering a safe and supportive environment for our young people. i must admit, however, i expect us to see more democrats, leaders with us here today. to serious issue. surely as adults we can prioritize america's children ahead of partisan politics. >> ainsley: brian? >> brian: good to see her out. first time seeing her since first lady at the inauguration. good cause to get behind. clearly motivated by. it is there any flip side to it? you would think this would be an opportunity for k hakeem jeffris

jeffries and company to show up unless you are pro-harassing students and ruin their lives and many times turns into suicide. ellison berry deep fake victim talking about what this means. this was back in december of 2024 on "fox & friends." >>ible last october i experienced my ai deep fakes going around my entire school. a classmate took an innocent photo off my instagram and put it through an ai editing tool that stripped my clothing off and sent it around my entire school. we are urging the house to pass this bill in order to protect some people. the future generations are at risk. this is what we are aiming at and there are so many people and so many victims that don't have the ability to go and tell their story. >> ainsley: elliston was so excited leavi going into high s.

beginning of school she was in a picture with nine girls. whoever did, this someone at her school stripped down all of them so they were all naked. the picture starts being distributed around their new high school where they are going. all the older guys are seeing this probably. it's being passed around. she is extremely embarrassed. she goes on snapchat she tries to get it taken down. she couldn't get it taken down. she runs into her mom's room crying. her picture stayed up there 8 and a half months? do you know how she got it done? she called senator ted cruz. he said what he? called snapchat. put me on with the ceo. the picture was taken down immediate because she contacted her senator. if you are taylor swift, it's easy. you have connections and get these pictures taken down easily. if you are a normal teenage girl and this happens to you it takes months and month and months. it. >> brian: ted cruz was there yesterday. he was the co-host of the event.

>> steve: it passed unanimously in the senate a while back. and now it is sitting on mike johnson's desk. the republicans say they are going to try pick up in the next couple weeks. >> lawrence: they should immediately. >> steve: what about today? >> ainsley: tons of people are saving those images on their phones this could come back to bite her when she is applying for a job and she mom and her children ask her what is this? >> brian: last thing i would say i'm not optimistic they will support this they are not powering trans support bill where 75% of the people in the country not for men playing in women's sports. only 51 votes in the senate. here is another bill they should be able to rally behind. they didn't show up. why they wouldn't just sign off on this and start rebuilding their image. i don't know. that's up for them to answer. >> ainsley: one of the most iconic names country music, dolly parton, one of our favorites losing her man who was by her side for nearly six

decades yesterday. >> lawrence: todd piro joins us with details. >> parton's husband dying at the age 82. carl and i spent many wonderful years. words can't do to the love we shared over 60 years. thank you for your prayers and sympathy. karl andean married since 1966 wishy washy laundromat in nashville. the very first day she moved to the music city at 18 years old. parton spoke about the two meeting a few months ago. listen. >> i got here and i thought that's the last thing i'm going to get daughter up with some boy, you know, until i get my feet on the ground and get things going. the very day i got to nashville i met carl dean and 06 years later i'm still with carl dean. >> todd: great story there. although he stayed out of the public spotlight for most of her

career. dean was a huge inspiration behind parton's music. here he is on the '69 my blue ridge mountain boy. credited inspiration behind iconic hit jolene. she wrote the song about a flirty bank teller who seemed to take an interest in dean. while it was reported a couple years ago that dean had been suffering from alzheimer's a cause of death has not been announced. family is asking for privacy at this time. what a beautiful love story. >> steve: every time she was on this show she would talk about carl back home. that was a great love story. >> ainsley: he was so private. if he gold to her concerts he would sit in the back. he did not want to be in the spotlight. >> lawrence: what a beautiful relationship. >> steve: god rest his soul. >> brian: carley him can you say you have the other breaking news. >> carley: i do. seven freed israeli hostages are expected to travel to the white house to meet with president

trump and his administration. jonathan, the father of one of the hostages released during phase one of the cease-fire reacted on "fox & friends first." >> i think that hostages meeting with him today first and foremost express immense gratitude. you know, my son is home. he has been home now for about two and a half weeks. you know, all of these recent releases are a product of president trump's clear message hamas, israel, qatar, egypt that the time has come. >> carley: the hostages are expected to discuss their experience, including a firsthand account of the hamas tunnels. a federal subpoena has been issued requesting records from self-proclaimed super mayor of dolton illinois tiffany henyard an investigation into her and her boyfriend woods. named in a lawsuit after a

massive brawl broke out board meeting in january. henyard lost her bid for re-election in a landslide primary loss last week. and how about this? a new study revealing who is more likely to catch in a relationship. >> i think i liked your nose. >> i think i'm in love with you. >> what? >> what? >> what? >> carley: researchers have found that men fall in love almost twice as fast as women with a study of 800 adults also shows women are more likely to experience stronger feelings when they eventually commit saying, quote: females at higher intensity higher love, commitment and higher obsessive thinking about a loved one than males. women fall faster but men fall harder. >> lawrence: fall they are crazy. >> steve: listen, when you know you know.

>> ainsley: complicated. >> steve: at the end of my first date with my future wife, i said at the end of the first date i said, you know, i'm going to think you are crazy some day we're going to be married. 40 days later we were engaged couple months layered later we were married. that was 40 years ago. when you know you know. >> lawrence: i feel like they put these stories in here just to troll me every single day. they want my reaction. >> ainsley: brian, we'll get your reaction coming up. >> brian: read us out. >> ainsley: what comes next in president trump's plan to end foreign conflicts across the globe. >> brian: plus, florida congressman brian mast feet from me, live in studio. that's next. >> lawrence: and how are you celebrating texas tuesday you? know me and ainsley have our boots on today. email us at friends@foxnews.como ea pictures.

president trump. >> i just think he should be more appreciative. because this country has stuck with them through thick and thin. he says he thinks the war is going to go on for a long time. and he better not be right about that. i want one thing to happen. i want all of those young people to stop being killed. they are being killed by the thousands. every single week. >> brian: that's always been his objective. florida congressman and member of the foreign affairs committee brian mast joins us now. congressman, your thought about the president cutting off aid? >> his tone, his actions, they are bringing europe to the place that they need to be to make this a real partnership. right? without the president doing what he is doing. you don't get what was announced last night, which is eu saying they are putting $150 billion into a defense fund before they wouldn't raise their debt. you don't get germany saying # hundred billion dollars into defense fund. you don't get u.k. 200 billion every single year. that's wholly a result of the president's tone and tactic.

>> brian: you met with zelenskyy, right? >> i met with zelenskyy a week before he went to the white house. >> brian: would you pick up the phone and call the president and say work this out and put that in a speech today? >> speak to the president. be grateful that he gave you everything that you are asking the american people for a week before you went to the white house. he wrought that to you and you found a way to screw it up. now go back and fix it. >> brian: pete hegseth, secretary of state is halting cyber operations against russia. why we he do that. >> this is something that the president, trying to negotiating middle of the road abby ter somebody who can actually bring a peace deal. that's why they are stepping away in that respect to make sure that they can be the ones to say i'm going to talk to your side of the table and talk to your side of the table we are going to get this done. >> brian: are you worried about kyiv falling because of our aid slowing down. >> no. i'm worried about making sure that europe steps up and realize that the partner that america needs is a europe that can stand

on its own. that's what makes this the best partnership. they haven't been. we know for a fact europe is still putting more into oil and gas in russia than what they are actually putting into defense of ukraine. that's not the europe that we need. that's the biggest worry here. the president is changing that. >> brian: i'm glad you are calling him out on that. something else going on president trump said when i take over you better let out those hostages and said that to hamas. they are beginning to come out. seven hostages are traveling to the white house. they are here. i imagine they are going to go speech tonight. what is your message knowing that job is not done in gaza and some still sit in tunnels waiting for their freedom. >> you and i both know the president he takes the time to listen to people. he is touched by women's stories. i guarantee you is he listening about the torture, being starved. he is making sure there is a commitment that if there is an american being held, there is an american coming together. >> brian: told me on radio if bibi has to go in, go in.

trust his judgment. what does that say to you? also, iran is watching. >> bibi has been the tip of the spear in dealing with iran, houthis, hamas, making sure they are being destroyed in syria and lebanon and all those other places. that's a partner that we need. the president is looking at the situation, guaranteed and saying that is strength. you have the commitment to destroy the tunnels, make sure that hamas never returns. great, we're willing to work with partner like that. >> brian: brian, what do you think it's going to be like tonight in congress? >> i heard the congressional black caucus is wearing black. i think it's because it's a mourning for the democrat party. because the president is putting nails in the coffin right there. is he delivering on the american dream. making america more secure which he talked about in the first term. on the southern border and some places. is he delivering jobs to the american people. a honda civic plant into indiana. taiwan semiconductor into arizona. is he bringing jobs to the united states of america. getting government out of the way and making for the first

time in our lifetime the american government spend less. that's the american dream. >> brian: i love is he taking down the cartels. i didn't think it was going to happen. 900 arrests in mexico. >> he promised it and it happens. >> brian: you promised to show up and you came. you look fantastic. thanks for everything. new tariffs on canada and mexico just went into effect hours ago. taylor riggs tells us how this impacts you. ♪ (♪) the last eight years i've been in bed, basically.

development. you know a lot about this. what do you make of the shop classes coming back to these high schools, for instance, middleton high school in madison, wisconsin, they just spent $900 million to include tech facilities and a fourth of those student have taken one of those classes i celebrate this survival in career and technical education. especially because this is not your grandfather's shop class. they are not building bird houses. in that particular high school fish bowl environment where other schools can see they are using robotics and ai to implement the trades now in a very new and engage way for students. the college for all has failed us. the pendulum is swinging the other way. students are much more interested in the trades because they are giving high paying jobs, due to the critical shortage of workers in those fields. it's increasing salaries and they can use their skills right away when they get out of high school and start off on a career without the college debt that none of them are looking for right now. >> ainsley: so 30% of patients say that kids under the age of

9, erika use for learning. i was shocked by this statistic. what does this mean for america's future in the trade industries? will we have a shortage. >> currently we need about 439,000 workers just in construction alone in 2025. we do have an issue here in the united states, achieving those workers. however, i do see ai and robotics and other technologies increasing efficiencies so that we reduce the number of workers that we actually need. i think it's great that students are learning at early age how to use technology appropriately. we want wise use of technology in our classroom so that students are prepared to take on the jobs of tomorrow. by 2031. only about half, less than half, in fact, of jobs are going to require a college degree. how are we going to prepare these students to take on the responsibilities of our economy and growing economy thanks to president trump. if we're not teaching about

these technologies all the way through education, including though all of the other aspects of education we want them to learn, history arithmetic and reeked, of course, technology is going to be a part of that as well. >> absolutely make a lot of money in these jobs, if there is a shortage we are going to be paying more to get someone to come and wallpaper or paint our houses whatever it might be. thank you so much, erika. >> thank you carley. i appreciate it. >> ainsley: you are welcome. >> boston mayor michelle wu is ready to testify before congress tomorrow over her city's sanctuary status saying, quote: it's not my first rodeo. the mayor is also responding to criticism after offering condolences to the family of a stabbing suspect shot and killed by an off-duty police officer. >> you know, it's unfortunate to politicize being at the scene of a tragic incident and i expressed condolences along with our police commissioner and
