"america reports" now. >> what do you want to hear from the president?

>> that musk is being sent packing. >> americans can expect donald trump to say many things that are false including perhaps russian misinformation. >> what he's doing is not normal, not acceptable. >> this is not the direction we need. regardless of what donald trump says. >> everybody, show up. get in your seat. when he is introduced, set in. >> john: democrats painting president trump as the disruptor in chief ahead of his big speech tonight. but the president's guest list highlights what he thinks americans really care about and white house officials say democrats should get on board. listen here. >> the president of the united states, he's going to make a lot of good arguments, talk about a lot of the successes we've had in these first 45 days. he's also going to be himself, which means he's going to poke a little fun, and we are going to have a good time.

>> democrats should think about if they will stand up and up loss. he is bringing common sense back to this country. >> use this as a platform to look like disruptor's themselves, but all they're doing is disrupting america. >> john: tied down any loose articles of clothing. keep your hands inside the ride. i'm john roberts from washington. >> sandra: just like me in the elevator, running up here to make the show on time. i'm sandra smith in new york. this is "america reports." the renewal of the american dream. here we are -- and now we are hearing about some of the everyday americans that we can expect to see tonight. we will see peyton, the teenager who says she suffered a traumatic brain injury playing volleyball against a transgender athlete. stephanie diller, nypd officer killed on duty. the american teacher freed in a russian prisoners while. >> john: the family of the man

who was killed in pennsylvania. horrifically killed by illegal migrants. president trump has vowed to say it like it is. republican missouri senator eric schmidt will join us to preview the big speech as well as the latest with ukraine. >> sa >> sandra: meanwhile, we are going to get the jacqui heinrich. she's on the north lawn for us to set up this big speech tonight. this comes at a pivotal moment for this administration, with the ukrainian peace talks hanging in the balance, so what are we hearing about the white house and this pause in aid to ukraine? what's the update? >> white house caused all military aid to ukraine, saying ukraine really needs to show that they are committed to peace. and zelenskyy has faced a lot of calls to apologize to president trump after the meltdown we saw in the oval office last week. just this morning, vice president vance seem to suggest that that could happen

privately. >> president zelenskyy needs to say that he's committed to the peace. or he needs to apologize to the president. a public stuff does not matter nearly as much as what are the ukrainians doing to meaningfully engage on what a peaceful settlement would look like? that lack of private engagement is what is most concerning to us. >> zelenskyy trying to make things right, "we are ready to work fast. the release of prisoners and troops in the sky. ban on muscles, long range drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure. a truce immediately if russia will do the same. our meeting did not go the way it was supposed to be. it is regrettable that it happened this way. it is time to make things right. we would like future communication to be constructive." it was not a direct apology there, but awaiting word from the white house on may be that comes in a phone call. ending the war is expected to

feature heavily in the presidents address to congress tonight. so was the economy after enacting tariffs on mexico and canada. prime minister trudeau saying this. >> what he wants is to see a total collapse of the canadian economy. because that will make it easier to annex us. he can do damage to the canadian economy, and he started this morning, but he is rapidly going to find out as american families are going to find out, that it's going to hurt people on both sides of the border. >> officials here say the president will talk a lot tonight about spending cuts, but he will make one request for spending as a relates to the border so they can continue those deportation efforts. >> sandra: jacqui heinrich at the white house for us on a very big day. >> john: let's dig deeper by bringing in eric schmidt who serves on the senate judiciary and armed services committee appeared kind of a jump ball as

to where we start, but why don't we go to ukraine? because zelenskyy appears to have had something of a change of heart, posting on x "none of us wants an endless war. ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. our meeting in washington did not go the way it was supposed to be. it is regrettable that it happened this way and it is time to make things right. we would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive. ukraine is ready to sign it any time and in any convenient format." this comes after the president suspended weapons shipments to ukraine. sounds like zelenskyy may have found religion. >> the key here is getting zelenskyy and ukraine really at the table. the minerals deal is the first up to that. there had been some difficulties in the weeks prior to the white house meeting on friday.

zelenskyy specifically wanted the meeting in the oval office, and i think he handled himself pretty poorly. the facts on the ground remain the facts on the ground. it's time for peace. you have a president who wants to deliver that. he campaigned on it. the sooner zelenskyy gets back to the table, the better. that is the only way this is going to get to a resolution that honors the ukrainian people who are dying. thousands are dying every week, so i think president trump is the only guy who can deliver that ip's. >> john: he said that during that meeting on friday, president trump had been very cordial to zelenskyy, and then things started to spiral out of control. >> he tried to sort of bend over backwards to be gracious and kind to zelenskyy, even when he was kind of needling him. there was a lack of respect, certain sense of entitlement, unwillingness to engage in the peace process. >> john: this idea of a sense of entitlement.

he warned that the biden administration's policy was putting ukraine first ahead of the united states of america. do you think that's kind of the attitude that zelenskyy had about how the united states is when it comes to ukraine, and that is the attitude he brought to the oval office? >> i do, and a lot of people felt zelenskyy, especially in europe, they tell him what he wants to hear, and they don't tell him the truth. the truth of the matter is now is the time to settle for peace. this is where we are at. you've got a president that is capable of delivering at pier joe biden never had any interest in it, and he was not capable of delivering it. president trump can. he got a mandate from the american people. number one, the war would have never started if he was president. and he can deliver peace. maybe it was a little bit of a change of pace of what zelenskyy is used to hearing, but that's the truth, and the sooner he

comes around to that reality, which it sounds like maybe with that post this morning, maybe he is recognizing the reality this is his best shot. >> john: now to the idea of tariffs. you probably heard the prime minister of canada, justin trudeau, an hour ago, talking about tariffs. in response, president trump said "please explain to governor trudeau of canada, when he puts a retaliatory tariff on the united states, our reciprocal tariff will immediately be increased by a like amount. this back-and-forth between the president and the prime minister who he likes to call the governor, the 51st state, one thing, but are you concerned about the effect of tariffs on consumers? >> i think you can look to president trump's first term. we took in a couple hundred billion dollars. our reliance on china went from about 20% to 13%. they can be very effective without causing inflation.

canada have been ripping us off for generations and gotten away with it. you finally have a president that is standing up to this kind of -- you know, these trade barriers put in place by canada for a long time and now you are seeing record investment. almost $2 trillion, whether it is honda deciding they want to build in the united states. mercedes-benz. apple. these are generating positive results, but the other underlying thing is they have to do more to stem the tide of fentanyl. he has been pretty consistent about this. that is one of the reasons why you see these in plain spirit ultimately meant to address the trade imbalance that we have peered under joe biden, the trade deficit went up 200 plus percent in those four years with canada, so we are being treated very unfairly by the canadians. they need to drop some of the trade barriers they have, and we will all be in a much better place. >> john: the president speaks tonight. thanks for joining us.

>> good to be with you. >> sandra: if you are watching last hour, you heard us talk about justice if you're not a single senate democrats voted for a republican leadville last night that would protect women sports by blocking biological males from competing against girls and women, but. [applause] shows nearly eight in ten americans think that those biological men should not be able to compete against women. so, who are they answering to, lisa? >> 20% of america, which is not how you win collections. i don't know why they are digging their heels down on this issue. you look at the kamala harris. they/them. of course highlighting in part this issue with men playing in women sports. it moves the needle 2.7 percentage points in president trump's direction among those who watched the ad. that is according to a pro kamala harris super pac.

i think at this point democrats are just out of arrows. they have sends everything, trying to take him down. we saw that with him being able to move over 89% of america's counties in his direction this past election cycle, and trying to resuscitate the russia folks that americans no cost them $32 million, only to find out that he did not collude with russia. vt is a very early in his second term in office when you think about all those women and girls that were surrounding him when he signed the bill. the president has invited her to join him tonight at his speech. she has advocating for getting men out of women sports. she experienced a trauma firsthand. she suffered a traumatic brain injury having to compete against a biological male in volleyball. here she has just yesterday. >> last year of high school, i was permanently injured in a high school volleyball game by a

male athlete pretending to be a woman on the other team. they told me that i had a concussion, brain bleed, permanent whiplash. there's a lot of things i followed that like partial paralysis, vision problems. one that cares enough to take this issue with how it is and stand up for women and say enough is enough. it is amazing to see that. >> sandra: we pray for her and applaud her for standing up for herself and other girls so that this does not happen to someone else. we will see her tonight. meanwhile, the messaging from democrats. this is some of what we are hearing. democrats against donald trump here and listen peered. >> when i went back, i will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one. >> [bleep] that is not true. >> sandra: i don't know, i can figure out where they are going next with this. what is working for them? >> nothing at this point, but

the pendulum does swing back and forth. i think they are out of arrows, and i think it's a mistake trying to bring these federal workers and try to get americans to have empathy for them. they are probational federal workers. only been there for a year or two or less. in a trial period with their jobs, and what we saw over the past four years was a vast expansion of the federal workforce using our taxpayer dollars including the climate bill which they lied to us about. expanded the federal workforce and also use that to pad employment numbers as well, so i look at what president trump is doing as a course correction for what we saw over the past four years, and i also think when you highlight some of these ridiculous corruption oriented spending that we have seen over the past four years, i think americans understand what he's trying to do with that. >> sandra: lisa boothe, always good to have you on. if i could ask the team, john,

john. just sat down for her first interview since leaving the white house. boy, oh, boy, is she critical of this presidency. listen. >> we have to be super mindful and careful of this because he does not have a mandate, and if you look at the numbers, look at the facts, he won with the smallest margin of the popular vote since the 19th century. he is on his way in the first 100 days to be the most unpopular president in the first 100 days. that is not a mandate. this is not normal. it is a five-alarm fire. >> sandra: so this is where democrats are as we head into this big speech tonight. we will see when antic they supply because we have heard talk of them. >> john: we are talking about transgender athletes and sports. well, the policy at the arlington public school just across the potomac river from

where we are, people who declare themselves to be transgender can use the locker room of their choice. that led to a registered sex offender, a biological male, undressing in front of little girls at a high school aquatic facility open to the public after school hours. we are going to talk with the attorney general and the commonwealth of virginia. jason is talking about that transgender individual, no facing multiple charges of indecent exposure among other things on the commonwealth. so that is where all those policies have taken us in that particular county. >> sandra: this is something that so many americans care deeply about, and for those girls to not have more people in congress standing up for them, john, is quite shocking. >> sandra: who is standing up for the young girls at this aquatic center who came in after their swimming lesson to find an adult -- i believe he is in his

30s. adult male, fully intact, naked, standing in the middle of the locker room. all right, now this. >> we are not the gold standard in aviation anymore. not even on the world's podium. >> john: statement after a series of incidents and air travel like the near miss in chicago last week. transportation secretary sean duffy weighs in coming up. plus this. >> aiding and abetting. there you are. aiding and abetting. nice, guys. wow. you are part of this demonstration. >> sandra: we remember all of that. whose voice you hear on our program here at columbia university now finally taking action against the student protesters who broke into the school building but only after president trump got tough on anti-semitic protests

happening on college campuses. bill bennett is here. he will react. late... 30%! as a veteran family, you can use your va cash out benefit to get the newday 100 that lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value. not just 80% like some banks. 100% means you get more cash to pay off your high rate credit cards and your car loan. no one approves veterans like newday. call now: -844-980-2907.

you think those phone guys will ever figure out how to keep 5g home internet from slowing down during peak hours? their customers have to share a wireless signal with everyone in their area. oooh. you know, it's kinda like when you bring a really big cake for your birthday, and then there's only a little, tiny sliver left for the birthday girl.

aw. well, wish her a happy birthday. happy birthday... -it's... ...to her. -no, it's me. have your cake and eat it, too. don't settle for t-mobile or verizon 5g home internet. get super fast xfinity internet you don't have to share. forty's going to be my year. >> sandra: months after that have been, columbia university taking action against the student protesters who broke into a campus building. alexis, what are the student's punishments? >> it only took nearly a year, but now we are learning one student was suspended and another was expelled. the last time i was standing out here, there were students who broke the glass, shattered things inside, even hurt some school employees, and that looked like this. watch.

now, president trump is threatening to imprison agitators, saying all federal funding will stop for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests to go on. "imprison door pers permanentlyt back to the country from which they came. expelled or depending on the crime, arrested. no masks." riding a new op-ed that says student protests have gone too far, but just last week, the school sent out a professor to negotiate with the mass to gr group. >> it sounds to me like some of these are not things that -- >> now the department of justice is planning to visit ten campuses dealing with anti-semitic protests, including columbia and nyu. >> going to the schools, and we are going to tell the board of trustees that they have a fiduciary duty to protect jewish

american students like everyone else. if they failed to do so, we are going to take their money, take all the federal funding away from them. >> so how much funding are we talking about? just for columbia alone, $5 billion in federal funding could be pulled, so we will see if they play by their own rules and enforce them. >> sandra: alexis, thank you. >> john: let's dig deeper and bring in bill bennett. great to see you. thanks for being with us. riding the following are true social "all federal funding will stop for any college or university that allows illegal protests. agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. american students will be expelled or arrested. no masks. thank you for your attention to this matter."

your thoughts? is that the right way to go? >> yeah, sure it is. your reporter said it took a year for columbia to take action. actually took an election for them to take action. threatening the withdrawal of federal funds, you better believe that columbia will act. and they should. one important note here, a lot has been put on people who are not students. most of the protesters i believe our students. very important that the universities act in regard to those students. your lead inside the democrats are calling donald trump a disruptor in chief. he is the restorer in chief of property values. how can an institution of higher education tolerate anti-semitism? the breaking of glass, john. remember? >> john: obviously hearkens back to a very, very dark time

in our history. i think this is interesting that in the wake of the barnard college protests, violent protests the other day, deborah, she rode this about her consideration for a teaching position at columbia university. "until last week i have been seriously considering teaching at columbia university next year as a visiting professor. but watching them capitulate to mob violence and failed to enforce its own rules and regulations led me to conclude i could not go to columbia university, even for a single semester." she was concerned that if she went to columbia, even though they are under different management, that she would serve as a prop to convince the world that they were doing something about anti-semitism when in fact it appears it was not. >> yeah. look, we hired a jew to come teach. i don't know why any jewish

parents or kids would go to columbia. by the way, all the talk about the men and women sports, a lot of this goes on on college campuses, high school campuses. once again, federal funds are involved. it is amazing to me, not just that donald trump is taking this on, but i'm sure as your agenda for the show shows, he's taking everything on. all at once. quite extraordinary. quite extraordinary. >> john: flooding the zone, no question about that. you brought up this idea, men and women in sports. in each other's locker rooms, all of that. that led rahm emanuel, who is talking to the economic club of chicago, former chief of staff to obama, former mayor of chicago, to say that the democrats are really aiming at all of the wrong things when it comes to what they are talking

about with their woke agenda and education. listen to what he said. >> we are having a debate about pronouns, right? well it is you have two-thirds of your kids that don't know what a pronoun is? okay, and nobody is raising their voices. you just have the worst reading scores in 30 years. worst math scores in 30 years, and we are talking about bathrooms. locker rooms. >> john: it seems to me as though you might find common ground there. >> yeah, absolutely. why is that after they leave government, democrats find faith and religion? common sense prevails. democrats voted against ending the filibuster, which would have enacted that law preventing men from participating. should be hung on them. they should be wearing that for the next four years. >> john: bill bennett, good to

check in with you. thank you for coming on. appreciate it. >> stay on the roller coaster, right? you were right. >> john: make sure you secure those articles of clothing. you never know what might get caught. >> it is a heck of a ride. heck of a ride appeared. >> john: thank you, sir. >> sandra: quite the transition. this is they live look at bourbon street. americans on this fat tuesday in the south are facing some severe storms that could be headed new orleans' way. how is this impacting the mardi gras plans? >> john: all comes to us head tonight. air traffic control worries. the secretary of transportation, sean duffy, coming up next. things can transform. slipping out of balance into freefall. (the stock market is now down 23%).

>> the [bleep] is going on? >> john: devastating wildfires breaking out across the carolinas with air quality alerts in myrtle beach, and the largest fire spreads to nearly 2100 acres. we are used to seeing that in places like california and colorado. flames burning just behind holmes in the areas. they have contained most of the smaller fires but continued windy conditions and dry air could spark new ones in the coming days, which is why they are working so hard. to get some water on the fires and get them all out. >> sandra: stormy weather, by the way, is on its way to some southern states. including louisiana. high winds might impact mardi gras festivities. meteorologist adam klotz is on this for us. what are you seeing? this is the last of the big day of celebrations. >> hard to picture folks are not going to be scrambling inside.

windows are beginning to pick up. we are tracking a line of st storms. there it currently sits, although storms, severe thunderstorms right now. we've seen isolated tornadoes spin up. there is that tornado as we speak. a little bit of the notch in the line of storms. the tornado watch is in place. all the way currently until 3:00 p.m. central time, including new orleans. large area. looking at a 3 on a scale of 5. ultimately it does run as far east, getting close to panama city as well. folks could be dealing with this. the biggest concern is going to be the tornadoes. yes, severe thunderstorms, but we've got a fairly large area and a risk of strong tornadoes. 2 are greater peer new orleans in particular, there is your time-stamp up in the corner.

5:00 or 6:00 p.m. once you get on the backside of this, it really clears off by 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. >> sandra: i love that i saw louisiana on your map there. one of the hardest cities in louisiana to pronounce. it is old-school. french creole. thank you so much. we will be watching. jimmy is going to join us for a little mardi gras discussion later on. thanks so much. >> helicopters around other major airports that are busy should be reevaluated and looked out for a permanent change. >> we built this whole system back in the '60s. if you think about the technology available then compared to now, we have too many facilities out there. >> we are short of control is today. you cannot hire 3,600 people to go in. it takes years of training. >> john: experts what a

spotlight on their concerns over the country's air traffic control system. this is a inlaid of a series of alarming incidents. which killed 67 people. let's bring in sean duffy, secretary of transportation. happy to have you make your debut. >> happy to be with you. >> john: the administration is taking steps to boost funding and staffing, which has been plagued by short staffing for years. anyone who has ever been waiting for a flight to hear people say well, it is an air traffic control situation, knows that all too well. here is what the administration is doing in part. best and brightest through a merit-based process, increase salaries, go to the academy, streamline hiring, five-step process. all that aside, mr. secretary, it still takes a couple of years to get somebody up and running in terms of air traffic

controlling. how quickly can any of this happen? >> it's going to take four or five months to get to the academy. a few years to be trained up in a tower depending on where your scent. it can take up to two years before you get approval to go to the academy. a lot of young people find a new career in the two years, so streamlining the process, so you take the test, and if you score well, we are going to expedite you into the academy, pay you more money, get you trained up. this is going to be a two or three year process to get our towers fully staffed, but it is never going to happen if we don't start now. what you mentioned as well, we have this antiquated old system. the bottom line is we have to update it with new technology. so i think by the way you see them all -- does not normally happen in congress, but they all

agree they need to give us new radar, new radio, new terminals. move from copper to fiber. really simple things that make our system just up to date. once we get that done, we can look at satellites. gps positioning. go to the next level. our system is so old that it needs a major update. the problem is time. it takes so much time here and many changes. administration changes. technology changes, so we have to do that really fast. >> sandra: elon musk has hinted that starlink is the solution. >> it is not. part of the solution. some terminals up in alaska where it is hard to access fiber wires. it is mountainous. some facilities that starlink can be helpful, but we want to make sure we have fiber

connected systems in place, so i think it play some part, but not all of it. spacex send me some engineers and other great companies have sent their engineers. we have to move at the speed of business, not government. they are helping us through the procurement process, plan process. americans want to make sure they have the best air traffic control system in the world. we are not there right now, but we can get there with help from the private sector and if congress gives us money. >> john: i remember a debate back in september of 2016 where then candidate donald trump lamented the state of airports in this country. listen to what he said. >> our airports are like from a third world country. you land at laguardia, kennedy, lax, newark, and you come in from dubai and you see these incredible -- you come in from china, you see these incredible airports. you land -- we have become a

third world country. >> john: we should say that since he uttered that statement, laguardia has been completely revamped and is beautiful now. but all those other airports are the same as what they were. what do you plan to do about that? >> is right. we have not reinvested in our infrastructure, so you fly around this country or the rest of the world and noticed a distinct difference. a lot of our airports were built in the '60s end '70s. this takes money. as you have an administration looking at where can you find cost savings, there are also places where you have to invest. roads, bridges, airports, and infrastructure around air traffic control. filled our transportation system better, faster, more efficient, safe way. i think the president, doge, they all agree on this mission. they cannot do all money out.

the incorporation this year, hopefully the second half of the appropriation. we need all the money up front. i will come back every quarter and give them updates, but we need all that cash and we need to move quickly to start updating airports and infrastructure to make sure that we have the best air traffic control system in the world. one last point. you said something about safety. our skies are safe. i fly commercial all the time. if it was not safe, you see delays or cancellations. everyone should heed that as a sign that, again, air travel is the safest mode of transportation versus any other mode of transportation. can't speak. >> sandra: welcome message as so many will be departing for their spring break shortly. mr. secretary, we want to ask about congestion pricing. where is all of this going? it has changed a lot of things for a lot of people.

you took to x with the message basically of a chorus of people saying it's got to go away. there are some people who say it has made traffic a whole lot better. what do you want to see happen here? >> it has made traffic better. you can drive into the city because middle and lower income people have been taken off the roads. our roads were not just made for the rich and the elite. everyone pays taxes, federal taxes, go for these roads, so to say that you cannot now drive on the roads because you are a middle or lower income individuals, because you cannot pay an $18 toll, is outrageous. everyone should access our roads. there is not one free roadway into 60th and lower in manh manhattan. for anyone to travel on. i think it's outrageous. it's elitist of the governor of new york. not only that, but if you want

to reduce congestion, and i am not opposed to congestion ideas, how we reduce our traffic, but the problem is they did not do a study that shows if we charge this much money, we get this much less congestion. that study was never done. it's just about raising money for public transportation. that is not the deal. we are looking out for the little guy, the metal guy, not just the rich and the elites. >> john: you add the congestion pricing to the bridge and tunnel walls, and that starts to become real money. >> sandra: great to have you on the program. >> john: appreciate it. >> sandra: meanwhile, u.s. farmland is shrinking. now china is hitting back on president trump's new tariffs. how tough is that? next.

>> sandra: all right, president trump putting out on his true social "to the great farmers of the united states get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold in the united states. tariffs will go on april 2nd. have fun." we wanted to get a farmers voice and hear. how did you interpret that message, and will it change the way you are operating business right now? >> yeah, i heard that message loud and clear that we are going to get an advantage and be able to compete on a global market. there are several crops in our area that used to be prolific, like asparagus, table grapes, dates. we just have seen diminished acres over the past years because i farm in california. we have some of the highest regulatory taxes. our minimum wage is $16.50 an

hour, and when we are competing with countries like mexico who have a similar climate, it is very difficult for us to be competitive. they have none of those standards, oversights, regulations. they can do things much less expensive than we can, so this gives us the advantage on the opportunity to be competitive in those markets again, and i truly believe it is a national security issued that america produces the food that we eat here domestically at home. >> sandra: sounds like you anticipate this will be good for business. >> you know, any time you have talks of trade war's, there can be pluses and minuses and winners and losers. my family does grow several crops that are exported to china, japan, the middle east, south korea, and there is fear of, you know, retaliatory action on that. i know that 2023 and 2024 were some of the hardest years on

record and farms. high interest rates, low commodity prices. the lies are and feel, we are paying triple what we were during the last trump administration, so i'm going to put my trust in our chief executor, president trump, that he's going to do -- he understands these negotiation deals, and he is preparing us for a better standing on the global market and the domestic market at home. >> sandra: wow, you are an incredible voice and this, and that matters. thanks for coming on, and we hope to have you back. >> sandra: love the tractor. john. >> richard and our other colleague -- >> john: rfk jr. on what is being done to make our health care safer and restore faith in government. stay with us. with dupixent, stay ahead of moderate-to-severe eczema.
