>> brian: i've been elected to tell you the time. it is 7:00 a.m. on the east coast. it is tuesday, march 4th. this is "fox & friends." the rest of the stuff will be harder. president trump set to highlight the progress he has made on the economy as he addresses the renewal of the american dream in front of congress tonight. i'm live at the nation's capitol previewing all the action. treasury secretary scott bessent will be in studio followed by karoline leavitt will be joining me here. she has a lot to do but wants to talk to you first. >> ainsley: but democrats aren't going to stand by quietly, brian. we're going to tell you how they plan to disrupt the president's speech tonight. >> steve: steve and an accused cop killer in houston heads to court today. even the democrat mayor is heated about it. >> it is unheard of that is a capital murder defendant charged of murder charged gets a low bond out on the streets.

>> lawrence: unbelievable kills a cop and back on the street. dumb. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: all right. let's start right here. president trump's tariffs on canada, mexico and china going into effect at midnight and we're already seeing some economic retaliation. >> lawrence: look who is at the white house. alexandria hoff is at the white house with the latest. good morning, alexandria. >> good morning to you. beijing is accusing the united states of violating tree trade laws, filing a lawsuit over thak to turn around with a 15% tariff on american food products. now, canada has promised tariffs up to 25% against more than $150 billion in american products as prime minister justin trudeau calling president trump's actions unoff while mexico is expected to announce later today. overnight tariffs implemented 25% on all imports from mexico, 25% on canadian imports as well. that's 10% on energy for that

and china doubled to 20%. the three countries make up more than a third of products brought into the u.s. president trump is accused the countries of failing to stop the flow of fentanyl. his counterparts claim they have already complied with demands to curb it. president speaking on how his plans will boost america's overall manufacturing of goods, take a listen. >> they have to have a tariff. what they have to do is build their car plants frankly and other things in the united states. in which case they have no tariffs. otherwise, they will build -- if they did them in taiwan to send them here, they will have 25% or 30% or 50% or whatever the number may be some day it will go only up. but by doing it here he has no tariff. >> the president believes this is already working. honda would move its manufacturing from mexico to indiana which was just announced. president trump announcing taiwan semiconductor invest $100 million in the u.s.

on top of saudi arabia's plan $600 million investment in the u.s. apple's 500 billion the next four years and another $500 billion infrastructure investment from open ai, oracle and softbank. the other announcement that president trump had as we are getting sandblasted here from the street sweeper. should i pause for a second? maybe so. the other planned announcement that president trump had was the reciprocal tariffs that would go into effect april 2nd, those are countries that tax american goods that rate would be equal to whatever they tax our goods on. he said he wanted to make it april 2nd. not april 1st. so people wouldn't think it was a joke, guys. [laughter] >> lawrence: these tariffs are permanent now, right? >> they are there was no language that that would say this would be something that would be oncology. interesting because the conditions earlier when these were floated with countries about what they had to meet in terms of fentanyl.

as we know with president trump, these are conditions, moving forward, that he feels he can dictate and, of course, wants to continue conversations with these countries. >> steve: alex, as he has put them out with no conditions, there's a possibility that once -- remember, it was all predicated on the amount of fentanyl coming into the country. the number of people coming into the country illegally. if that stops on both our north and southern border. you would think, perhaps that he could pull the plug on them. >> >> right, that seems to be the goal. this is an economic tool in many ways. it is, of course, left the markets a bit fearful about how long that tool will have to be utilized but this is a tool. that's what tariffs are. >> ainsley: thank you. >> brian: thanks so much, alex. this is another reach why i believe the white house should be turfed. you get some field grass out there, a turn out there and alexandria would not be interrupted by people mowing the lawn. >> steve: that wasn't a lawn mower it was a street sweeper. >> brian: it was?

i stand corrected. >> lawrence: how do we know more about what is happening there than you? >> i should understand the different sounds of street sweepers and lawn mowers. it's my fault. i should have done the sound review. >> ainsley: brian is he expected to highlight $1.7 trillion in investments that he has made just in the last five weeks since he took the oath. now, tariffs, obviously are taxed. taxes charged on goods imported from other countries. so if you have a 20% tariff, let's say a product worth $10 would have an additional $2 charge applied to. trump says if we bring business back to america you won't have tariffs you will help businesses and jobs in our own country. >> ainsley, you think the big picture is this is a way to bring manufacturing back to america so we can make stuff again. >> eventually. it is going to take time. >> mike: crow happy finally. get a new jean shirt perhaps. meanwhile, here in our nation's

capitol, president trump is set to focus on the renewal of the american dream in his address to a joint session of congress for the first time in his second term. >> ainsley: and it's sure to be an historical moment for our president tonight. senior congressional correspondent c chad pergram jos us now from capitol hill. good morning to you, chad. >> good morning, guys. article 2, section 3 of the constitution says the president shall, from time to time, give congress information on the state of the union. but nowhere is it written down that they have to come to capitol hill and give a speech. a speech is not required. it was president washington who gave the first speech in new york and then it was thomas jefferson who just continued that practice. he viewed this as too much of a speech from the crown. so if for 112 years this report was written and handed in like homework to congress. and it was president woodrow wilson in the early 20th century who revived this custom and then we got into media. and this is a big media affair

tonight. president calvin coolidge 1923 first president to have his state of the union address broadcast on the radio. then you had franklin delano roosevelt the master of the road radio. he was known nor fire side chats during the great depression and world war ii. that was part and parcel of his delivery of this speech. it first went on television in 1 # 7 with harry truman and then a big change in the mid 160s. they had this thing called "primetime." and it was linden bains johnson who moved the speech to prime time in the evening. if you look at a picture from that speech five minutes, six minutes in the east coast. president clinton the first president to stream the speech on the internet. guys? in congress has been interrupted, right?

you have members of the minority get up and heckle. watch closely what some of the democrats are wearing. i'm told. so women will wear white because of suffrage. they might have ukrainian flags. some people don't remember the speech because of extracurriculars. in 128 where president reagan brought the first guest to one of these speeches. >> steve: right. >> chad: that's become a custom. air florida crash and cbo mohammed skutnik, a freezing ice cold day in washington he famously dove into the river and rescued one of the pass jerusalem. it was president reagan who about 13, 14 days later invited him and started this custom of always having people in the house chamber there was a destruction. this was not a state of the union address. but september of 2009 you had president obama giving his obamacare speech and he was hectored by joe wilson the republican wilson. >> lawrence: you lie. >> chad: republican senator from south carolina. listen. >> there are also those that

claim that reform efforts would illegal imgrants this too is false. [boos] >> the reforms, the reforms i'm proposing would not apply to those here illegally. >> you lie. [boos] >> not true. >> nancy pelosi in 2020, she made some headlines when she famously ripped up president trump's speech. he was going to be acquitted the next day in his senate trial. the first senate trial. and last year, steve nikoui, he was removed over an outburst his son kareem was killed in afghanistan during the withdrawal from abbey gate there. he was pulled up at the secret service and also the capitol police. he was charged but those charges were later dropped. so sometimes we remember, the other things that go on during the state of the union speeches and not so much the content from the day as. >> steve: what a great historical perspective. i love the fact chad, that you brought up that guy who helped

fish one person out of the potomac during the reagan years. lynny skutnik. in fact, four years after that. that first appearance where he was a guest of ronald reagan they referred to that person as who is our skutnik this time. >> he didn't have a guest the next year. a tradition the president, the speaker of the house. i reached out to the speaker's office to see who they were going to bring in to the speech tonight. sometimes it's a little bit like west side story. it's kind of like the sharks and the jets. and everybody brings the people who are on their side to make their showing. and the democrats this year, we're told, are going to be bringing a lot of fired or furloughed federal workers to protest doge. >> brian: right. it's becoming a little bit, chad, liked -- like the british. where they just yell at their prime minister and he gets up and sits down. remember laken riley, remember when marjorie taylor greene said say her name. he said laken riley and he said lincoln riley.

that was also the give and take that saved joe biden. he seemed to be tanking his speech and that pend him up again. >> yeah. exactly sometimes that's the thing that you can't predict certainly after that point it was a more energetic speech, especially if you contrast that with his debate performance in june which pretty much tanked his presidential bid a lot of americans don't tune. in they don't tune into the internet. watch clips that are played and that's their dose of politics for the year. >> ainsley: thank you so much, chad. there is an article in axios. the headline says some dems plot to disrupt trump's speech to congress. if you read the article it says some might walk out. bring in props like noise makers, hand clappers beings pocket constitutions, empty egg containers and signed with

anti-trump, anti-doge messages even though there was a closed door meeting yesterday on the house floor and lawmakers were discouraged from using props job how we are supposed to take them seriously. it's not a sporting event. to the egg point. have you seen the chart from the secretary of agriculture? eggs have been going up way before donald trump. he has only been in office less than two months and now you want to make -- you didn't talk about eggs the entire presidential race. you wanted to talk about the threats to democracy and all that by the way constitution real rich. you have been targeting your political opponents using the department of justice and now you care about the constitution. >> steve: egg prices are high because of bird flu. >> lawrence: that's correct. >> steve: they leave that part out. in addition to them kind of poo pooing the prop idea. it sounds like, according to axios article that ainsley was referring to, it sounds like some democrats may, when the president starts talking about a

particular issue, may get may stand up and walk out. for instance when he starts talking about trans people in like trans men in women's sports and things like that, they are going to get up and move out don't forget it was not that long ago when rashida tlaib held up a sign when bibi nehanyahu was talking that said war criminal. look for a sign. it could be something related to doge, brian. >> brian: yeah. i guess we will have to see. we will see who walks out and who pays attention. but, i will say this. it was a week ago what i saw barnard college i would not doubt that the president of the united states seeing what is happening in new york and will take action. he is it seems as though they are now examining and r.f.k. is in charge now of anti-semitism in america they are examining whether to take away the federal aid that columbia barnard

college can't control the anti-semitic behavior poisoning their campus and emboldening their students where they are taking over buildings again and making demands and these idiots are actually listening to the students and are -- who are upset that two other students who are, get, this suspended for interrupting a class about israel. so, they burst into a class, get suspended and now they have these riots on campus in defense of the suspended students. so now they have taken action. and the student has been expelled for 10 months after taking over columbia hamilton hall last week. and now there is going to be a renewed focus on this, guys. that's what is going to get these colleges' attention. you have to take away their money. >> lawrence: brian, they are blocking jewish students from getting into the classroom. >> brian: unacceptable. >> lawrence: all they want to do is learn. people keep saying well, they took a break. they didn't take a break. school was let out. they restarted this nonsense back when school was back in session. there was really no

consequences. they held a janitorial staff hostage, and there was no criminal charges against them. and so i think what the president is saying is you're clearly violating the civil rights of these people. you are clearly not allowing them to get their education. they are paying for it. and so if the university's presidents and administration won't do anything about it. then you get no more of our money. >> ainsley: maybe the president wants threat of taking away their contracts and grants to these universities is making them rethink their policies. because you have the president of barnard college, which is the women's school, columbia used to not admit women. barnard started and they are sister schools and they're next to each other just a little north of where we are now. the president of barnard college must have had enough of this because she wrote an article. you can see the headline there when student protest goes too far. i'm the president of barnard. this is my line in the sand. and she writes: this disruption

was not designed to expand thinking or advance civil discourse. , instead, a calculated attempt of discrimination speaking over the professor in that class on columbia's campus. anti-semitic fliers and join the discussion even when the instructor graciously invited them sit in on the class. >> steve: that's why two barnard classes expelled last week what happened in jewish history class in january. apparently, and i saw in this morning in the new york daily news. another columbia university student has been expelled because of a protest at heinz hall last year, which we all covered and you went up there. so why, suddenly, is the college president talking about oh, look, we're taking anti-semitism seriously? well, because, when you look at the federal funding, there is $5 billion worth of federal funding going to america's universities in the forms of grants. that really is important to the universities. but, also, the fact that they

have announced a federal task force that's going to be visiting all nine campuses to make sure that, you know, they are up to snuff and doing what they saying. >> lawrence: that they're compliant. >> the reason i feel they are taking action right now is what happens tomorrow on capitol hill. they are going to have a capitol hill hearing. james comer is going to call in some of these university presidents to ask how they have defended these students. and they want to be able to say look, mr. comer, we expelled three people just this week. >> brian: they also want to take the money away. when you say $51 million, it takes people's attention, also barnard college gates c when it comes to still. by the abbott defamation league. the new school i know it sounds like a ridiculous name. the new school downtown, that gets an f. they seem to foment anti-semitic behavior. i love the crackdown here. also, think about how these

cowards they do these actions and they wear masks. >> lawrence: never been to the middle east. >> brian: crack down and demand they take their masks off in new york city unless they have a doctor's note or something. instead, they are use diagnose to rob stores and have these protests and keep their anonymity. show some courage, take off your yasser arafat starter kit and show your face. >> ainsley: the president of barnard said even though the disrupters wore masks we now know the identity of many of them are and are continuing to identify the rest. we will vigorously spur sue discipline those who forcibly enter the building, damage or destroy property. disrespect our exceptions violate many policies and rules. they damaged $30,000 at the building on barnard. >> brian: unbelievable. >> lawrence: start by allowing the cops back on the campus. they have to be invited on the campus. the cops should be permanently on the campus. >> brian: they don't like cops. >> steve: one of the reasons a lot of these activists are wearing masks because they are not actually students there.

they are just troublemakers. >> lawrence: what could go wrong. >> steve: travel from event to event. more on this throughout the day. 7:19 in new york city. carley joins us with the very latest on the pope. everybody is watching this. >> carley: latest news out of the c vatican. suffering two episodes of accuse respiratory failure yesterday. this caused doctors to put the pope back on non-evasive mechanical ventilation which as of this morning is no longer needed. this is the pope's third week in the hospital after he was admitted for double pneumonia last month. he is not expected to lead tomorrow's ash wednesday service at the vatican which, of course, marks the start of lent. while video capturing the moment certain yaps parliament -- look at that -- descended into chaos as opposition deputies threw smoke grenades and tear gas. at least three lawmakers were hurt in the demonstration. this chaotic scene follows months of student led protests over a deadly train station

awning collapse last november that killed 15 people. happening today, the supreme court will hear arguments in a case mexico is bringing up against american gun companies. they are seeking $10 billion in damages from seven u.s. gun manufacturers and one gun hole sailer. mexico wants to hold them liable for cartel violence committed with u.s. made weapons. fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett reacted to the case on "fox & friends" yesterday. >> >> i suspect the supreme court will reject it as they have the other attempts to hold gunmakers responsibility for injuries or deaths caused by firearms. it's not their fault if criminals misuse lawful products. and there's no evidence here that gun makers are coordinating with cartels. >> carley: mexico filed a similar lawsuit in 2021 in federal court in massachusetts. that suit was dismissed.

>> ainsley: new york city? the commercial? remember that? i lived in texas and moving here. they are like why? why? my dad said it's a great place to visit but he couldn't live here. i however love our city and your city, brian. >> brian: all right. >> ainsley: brian, will you ever agree toe wear the cowboy boots? >> let me think about it -- no. >> steve: amazing. >> ainsley: you are not any fun. >> lawrence: he is not any fun. trump is expected to tout his economic wins when he addresses congress tonight. brian? >> brian: yep. treasury secretary scott bessent joins me here in washington. i could touch him but he told me not to. ♪

far one of the biggest wins for the american people is since election day and since inauguration, mortgage rates have come down dramatically both the level of the 10 year bond and the spread between the 10 year and mortgage rates which is in effect because of the bank regulation we are going to do. >> brian: effect credit cards. >> >> interest rate effect credit cards auto loans. the bottom 50% of the americans have been crushed by high interest rates so we're set on bringing interest rates down and i think that's one of the great accomplishments so far. >> brian: also, when you talk about energy, you guys are doing this making it clearly a focus. is the market looking at what you plan to do with energy and racking on the promise of what you are doing? have you only been there, what? seven weeks? >> yeah, so brian. markets live in the future. there is a futures curve and the

market understands president trump's plan for energy dominance and the secretary burgum, secretary wright, the super strong members of the cabinet are following president trump's priority for drilling, unleashing u.s. energy, crude oil, natural gas. we're going big on nuclear and they -- we are going to -- it's going to bring down costs but we are also going to become major exporters of energy, which will make the world more secure japan japan japan wanted our natural gas we weren't giving it to them. the green focus on the previous administration won over. >> brian, yesterday president trump sent out a said the european union paid. >> morgan: energy bill to russia than they have given to ukraine in aid.

>> brian: how can they do that? there is a ban on that? are they doing it through third parties. >> no, that's the pre-existing nat gas and things like that. that is the pipeline. can you buy russian energy as long as they are adhering to the price cap. >> brian: tariffs went into effect china 10%. mexico 25%. canada 25%. the promise of tariffs had the market tank. can you tell us what it is going to be like today and what do you think this will do for the economy? >> look, i think over the medium term which somewhat we are focused on. it's a focus on main street. wall street these done great. wall street can continue to do fine. but, we have a focus on small business and the consumer so we are going to rebalance the economy. we're going to bring manufacturing jobs home. the we are requesting to continue the surge in small

business level president trump come in. we are cutting red tape. we are cutting regulations and get bank lending going again. >> brian: so when you talk about do you think prices might go up initially or in a few months seeing more companies moving manufacturing back like honda promised to do yesterday? >> brian, there is going to be a transition period but, you know, i will tell you on the china tariffs, chinaens business model is exfor the, export, export. that is unacceptable. they are in the middle of a financial crisis right now they are trying to export their way out of it. so when the china tariff, i am highly confident that the chinese manufacturers will prices won't go up. canada and mexico in the middle of a transition. like you mentioned honda moving to indiana is a great start. >> brian: tell me about the

affordability czar and how that could affect inflation. that could bring prices down? >> yeah, brian, there is affordability and then there is inflation. inflation is slowing. still not back to the fed's target area. affordability is this massive spike that we saw over the past two and four years. and we're going to try to bring the prices back down. whether it's insurance. whether it's housing a hoot of this is going to be done through deregulation. i think one of the untold stories for the past 2 and 4 years is the amount of the regulation that the previous administration put on households. several thousand dollars of administrative burdens every year and if we can cut that red tape and wring that down, then that's an excellent start of the affordability. >> brian: last question. you had money. your family lost it all. you have been working since you were 9 years old. how does that play into how you approach your job every day? >> brian, i am a risk manager.

and i think about, you know, i'm a market person but i'm a main street person. and, you know, mr. kilmeade came to washington today. i came from a small town in south carolina. i'm here in washington, d.c. 25% of the nation's economy flows around this 10-mile area. so, like the rest of the administration, like president trump, we are laser focused on watching costs and bringing down the deficit. not getting out over our skis financially. >> brian: so you work here but your mind is out of the other 50 states. >> yes, sir. >> brian: thanks so much. congratulations, secretary bessent and i know you haven't taken a day off since. i look forward to speak talking again. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: a suspected cop killer letexpected back in court today. after being let out on bond

♪ >> lawrence: so today an accused cop killer set to nap a texas court as outrage grows over the democrat judge who released him on bond. despite a capital murder charge. >> hpd and these officers are doing outstanding work putting their lives at risk for our safety. it is unheard of that a capital murder defendant charged for a murder -- charged gets a bond, low bond out on the street. >> lawrence: especially when they killed a cop. next guest broke the story and calls it a slap in the face to all law enforcement. andy cohen from houston crime stoppers joins us now.

why did this happen? i know shiewfn a little different. what is the reaction from the local residents in houston over this? >> well, first of all, lawrence, good seeing you again, thanks for having me. >> lawrence: you too. >> when i first found out about this, i was stunned, i was mortified and then i got really, really angry. because, in my over 40 years of being involved in law enforcement. and criminal justice, i have never ever seen a defendant charged with capital murder of a police officer ever released on bond. this is a slap in the face to all law enforcement officers and to the public in general. from our perspective, you do not release an individual who represents a public safety risk. if theand this particular defent involved in ambush of harris county deputy in which 41 casings from found at the scene, if he doesn't represent a public

safety risk, then no one does. that's why we are really ticked off. >> lawrence: this is what the attorney for the suspect is saying. there are a lot of million dollars bond on capital murder cases not cops. mr. francis' made the bond for mr. francis. is he under 24 hour surveillance with g.p.s. metro. is he under house arrest bonds aren't supposed to be oppressive in nature. the judge did her job. first of all, those ankle monitors are not monitored for 24 hours. sometimes they don't realize they have taken them off and it takes them two days to discover that. this is not true. none of this is true. >> you know, let me tell you, lawrence, my position on ankle monitors is really clear. it's as good as the person who wants to honor it. they want to honor it, it's the greatest tool in the world. you are delusional if you think you can't prevent them from

removing, destroying or tampering with them. gives you a false sense of security. but if you are going to release somebody who is charged with capital murder of a police officer, that is a threat to public safety and it shouldn't depend on how much money that you have. and even if the judge felt that she had to set a cash bond, she could have set an example by saying, you know, mr. francis, you are charged with capital murder. that means you are looking at one or two outcomes. if you are convicted life without parole or even the death penalty therefore i'm going to set an astro economically high bond based on those factors. let me ask you, this lawrence, you are out on bond right now for capital murder of a police officer, you are looking at life without parole or death sentence. are you going to show up in court? >> lawrence: no. no. >> we have had three law enforcement officers that have been killed in the line of duty

by defendants who are out on multiple felony bonds. this just sends a terrible message to everyone and especially for law enforcement officers. >> lawrence: the offender has nothing to lose and by the way it was easy for him to pay the bond because he is in the drug business. it was pennies for him and his family. >> not only that, this particular defendant was also on probation and he failed all his conditions of probation. so, you have already demonstrated a clear capacity for not abiding by rules and conditions. whatten oearth makes you think you are going to abide by the conditions of a bond when you are looking a life without parole or a death penalty. >> lawrence: spot on. >> bottom line if you do get convicted, you will never breathe free air again. good grief, this is nuts. >> lawrence: fired up. we all are, thanks, andy, we appreciate it? >> you bet. >> lawrence: check in with janice dean for fox weather forecast. >> janice: take a look at it because texas we have got some
