of isis was turned over to u.s. authorities by pakistan and is now heading to the u.s. to face justice in the abbey gate bombing. >> tonight i am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity. is he right here to face the swift sword of american justice. [applause] >> jacqui: 13 american service members were killed in that attack. marked the lowest point of president biden's administration. soldiers killed. the white house describing that phone call as emotional. the president prioritizing u.s. kevdefense last night. build a powerful missile defense shield protect the homeland known as the golden dome as well as a new office of ship building china's maritime dominance. the order includes 1 measures, including raising revenue fees

on chinese built ships and cranes entered the u.s. >> i'm announcing tonight they will we will create a new office of ship building in the white house and special tax incentives to bring this home to america where it belongs. we used to make ships. we don't make them very much. we will make them very fast, very soon. >> jacqui: one announcement people were listening for which didn't materialize quite yet was on signing the rare earth minerals deal ukraine. the president praised ukrainian president zelenskyy's letter tried to smooth relations after that disaster friday in the oval office. >> received an important letter from president zelenskyy of ukraine. the letter reads: ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. simultaneously, we have had serious discussions with russia and have received strong signals that they are ready for peaced.

>> administration paused all military aid to ukraine this week saying that the ukrainians need to get serious about what it will take to achieve peace. yesterday, zelenskyy outlined some first steps in what the beginnings of a cease-fire might look like but that note stopped short of directly apologizing to president trump back to you guys. >> steve: jacqui, zelenskyy did say on social media he was ready to sign the minerals deal. >> jacqui: he did. any time it was convenient for the president he has been asking to get that done. remember, when the president kicked out zelenskyy last week both of the sides which really want to get this deal done have signaled this will happen soon. but i think it's just a matter of getting those details in the background firmed up. obviously the u.s. wants assurances from ukraine that they are genuinely ready to talk

what take to achieve a cease-fire after consternation from zelenskyy that the president was in the enough on ukraine's side where the president sees this issue as just protracted and impossible to continue indefinitely. >> thanks so much. >> lawrence: thanks, jacqui. >> brian: if you do want to get to the point talk to putin you can't do it unless you settle things with your side, ukraine. if they sign this deal, they move forward in that letter, they also said x, y and z. stop bombing our hospitals and civilian centers. let's both stop attacking through the sea. and if we could start seeing some of those, i guess, face saving measures or those confidence building measures, then that would help us -- help him believe that putin really wants to talk.

>> ainsley: yeah. donald trump said it's time to halt the killing. it's time to end the senseless war. zelenskyy on x. what do you all think about this? he said the meeting in washington didn't go the way it is supposed to. >> steve: you think? >> ainsley: regrettable it happened that way is it an apology? >> steve: no. >> ainsley: donald trump said he needs an apology. >> steve: it's explaining. >> ainsley: is it an apology? >> lawrence: i think it's a step in the right direction. i think the president is ready to move forward on this it. you saw that yesterday in his speech. it was probably his best speech ever because he focused on the stories of the country. democrats just missed the moment. it appeared and you are going to see the montage here in a second. it appeared like they hated him more than they love the country in that moment because these weren't partisan stories. these were american stories. here's a little bit of it with

elseston's help, the senate just passed the take it down act. thank you all very much. all th savages charged with jocn and laken's murders were members of the venezuelan prison gang. i officially designated this gang ms-13 and mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations next phase to deliver a plan for this congress to pass tax cuts for everybody. but i know this group is going to be voting for the tax cuts. [cheers] >> three and a half years ago killed 13 service members and countless others in the abbey gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent with dangerously from afghanistan. i'm pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top

terrorist responsible for that atrocity. and he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of american justice. [applause] d.j. was diagnosed with brain cancer. the doctors gave him five months at most to live. that was more than six years a ago. [applause] [applause] >> steve: i think going in the democrat strategy to be the opposition party was don't give him any credit for anything. but it flies in the face of that little boy's story or the kid who was just accepted and admitted to west point. you know, for the people listening this is like america's

campfire. we tune in to see what is ahead for the country. that's just the way america works. a majority of americans agree with him. the border should be closed. death penalty should be out there for cop killers. cut waste, fraud, and abuse. these are all good things. these members of congress guy benson called it auction paddle i called a game show paddle. >> lawrence: silly. >> steve: they just looked silly, that's all they got? people who voted for oh there is my congress person or senator, elizabeth warren, she is just sitting on her hands when they are talking about the people who died at abbey gate? how do you do that? >> ainsley: on her phone and texting during some of these stories. he recognized laken riley's mom and sister up there sitting near the first lady. he honored jocelyn nungaray and named a wildlife refuge after her because she loved animals so much. her mom was crying.

the democrats are just sitting on their hands as you said. watch this. this is some of what we are talking about. >> last year. [applause] a brilliant 22-year-old nursing student named laken riley, the best in her class, admired by everybody, went out for a jog on the campus of the university of georgia. that morning laken was viciously attacked, assaulted, beaten, brutalized and horrifically murdered. laken was stolen from us by a savage illegal alien. gang member who was arrested while trespasses across biden's open southern border. and then set loose into the united states under the heartless policies of that failed administration. it was indeed a failed administration. last year i told laken's

grieving parents we would ensure their daughter would not have died in vain. that's why the very first bill i signed into law as your 47th president mandates the detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten public safety. it's very strong powerful act. [applause] it's called the laken riley act so alison and lauren america will never ever forget our beautiful laken hope riley. >> steve: not too far from the gulf of america. >> brian: couple things is pretty clear the president does not forget. he said the border is a problem. fentanyl is an issue. illegal immigrant criminals need to be rounded up. he puts tom homan on the

mission. relentless. the numbers are historic. then the victims. look, if this guy was how they characterize typical politicians i got elected. don't need you anymore. i don't have to call the families of the 13. i don't have to keep in touch with the families who lost their lives toil legal immigrants. i got the job already cutting down the border. instead they go everywhere with him. there is a party, an event. anything to do with immigration. anything to do with military. anything to do with law enforcement, you get jonathan doge widow stephanie diller is there. to prove it, you are going to stay with me every step of the way. alice johnson when it comes to criminal justice reform. now she has got a job. that shows how sincere he is. whether they like it or not on the left. >> lawrence: same sorry, ainsley, what side are you guys going to be on? the cbs poll of the speech came out and it said 76% of the people approved the speech. and then you go from the wasteful spending 77% of people

liked it. immigration and the border, 77%. ukraine and russia, 73%. the tariffs even got 65% of it. are you going to be with the majority of the country or are you just going to pout? steve. >> ainsley: you know when you look at laken riley's mom and i know some people on our show are working at fox have talked to her. the pain and the grief that she is going through. you can just see in her if you d brows. he said we need legislation. we need congress to step up. i can't do anything. so her daughter might have been alive if they had closed those borders or probably would have been alive closed borders that guy wouldn't have gotten in. donald trump said last night the lowers number of illegal border, historic. one of the best lines of the night the media and our friends and the democratic party kept

saying we needed new legislation. it turned out all we really needed was a new president. thank you donald trump for helping other moms not go through that laken's mom went through. >> steve: if you voted for donald trump, last night's speech was a barn burner. it was fantastic. all that stuff i said when i was running i'm going to do. if did you not vote for donald trump you would have to listen to that stuff aand it makes sense. you are right. there should just be women in women's sports. there should -- you know, there should be justice for people who are murdered by people who are in the country illegally. and that's one of the reasons why, to your point, about those snap polls, a majority of the -- the american people go i might not have voted for him, but i like what he's doing on this. and he did mention a lot about the border. and, brian, you just sat down with pete hegseth about a half an hour ago. you guys talked a little bit about how america is making it much harder to get into.

>> president trump gave us a charge. 100 percent operational control of the southern border. border security is national security. over 20 million people, as the president pointed out last night, poured in across our open border policy which created recklessness, death, drugs for our communities. we are sending those folks home and we are not letting more in. my message to mexican leaders and mexican military leaders is we want to cooperate with you and we will cooperate with you. if you don't police up the cartels on your side of the border, then we will be forced to do it for you. we don't want to do that right now we have historic cooperation. military to military. but we're letting them lead. it's their country. it's their fight. we want them to lead that fight. so far they have stepped up which is a very good sign. >> steve: just real quickly about mexico. we all know that the tariffs went into effect a couple of days ago and the stock market is absolutely tanked.

last night donald trump said bear with me there is going to be a little disturbance but we are okay with that yesterday, howard lutnick, the commerce secretary said they probably today are going to sign a new trade deal with mexico and canada. so, the gigantic stock market loss will probably be reversed to some measure but, nonetheless, it shows you that behind the scenes, not everything plays out in real time on tv. but it sounds like behind the scenes both sides, mexico and canada realize okay, we're going to have to deal with donald trump and make a deal with donald trump. >> brian: i don't know if he said exactly things could change today. he said there might be something coming. >> steve: today. >> brian: i don't know if he is going to say today. all right. happening today here in washington. the mayors of boston, new york city, denver and chicago will testify before the house oversight committee about sanctuary policies that encourage noncooperation with ice. >> lawrence: lucas tomlinson is live in washington with the details. good morning, lucas. >> good morning, lawrence. good morning, guys. protests are planned in boston

to coincide this hearing. no late sleepers house oversight committee after the address. they have a 10:00 a.m. hearing where james comer is expected to grill the mayors of boston, chicago, denver, new york city, all democrats over their policies which comer says endangers the public. new york spent 5 blsdz over the past two years to house illegal aliens. those costs were expected to double this year before mayor adams said last month the roosevelt hotel in midtown and 50 other shelters would be closed by june in new york. speaking of costs michelle wu pay up $650,000 to prep -- to prep for today's hearing. the denver mayor 2 million. wu's high powered law firm bills $950 an hour. that's small compared to alex bregman's new contract with the white sox. mayor being funded by taxpayer dollars. washington laurel used to rep the centers. here is the boston mayor earlier. >> i will never back down from

an opportunity to defender boston, to defend our residents. [applause] and definite all that we have accomplished together. >> following the four sanctuary city mayors the capitol hill stories of have several violent onchdz arrested by ice after local cops let them go. many despite ice issuing deterrence for them. two weeks after being arrested for murder. in boston a migrant was released after being charged assault and battery. now, things might be changing in a new op-ed in the "new york post." mayor adamages said, quote: we continue to ensure that those who commit violent crimes, no matter long time residents or new arrivals are held accountable and that the public is kept safe. border czar tom homan says many crimes would have been prevented if these detainers were honored he is out to double the manpower in sanctuary cities until every illegal migrant is eradicated to the country. excuse me more to that op-ed in

the "new york post" there. guys. >> ainsley: thank you some. hand it over to carley for more headlines. >> carley: bryan kohberger's files are now going to be open to the public. a judge ending what he calls the pervasive secret filing restricting what the public can see; however, kohberger's defense team and state prosecutors can ask to have certain information deb dedacte. murdered four in a home in 2022. his trial is expected to begin in august. update for you there. the irs is roaredly dropping plans to slash 90-thousand person workforce in half. sources tell the associated press tax agency hopes to achieve that through layoffs, attrition and buy out offers. the timeline for the major reduction remains unclear. con sis tonight streamline the federal workforce. the irs laid off about 7,000 probation naturally employees in

a cost cutting move. today is ash wednesday. hallow app. take part in prayer. mark wahlberg sat down with penbenjamin hall to talk about faith and family. >> i wonder how you talk about faith with your children. you said before you are not forcing them to be religious or pray. how do you want to i object expire them to be religious. >> i think by being an example. i think by just living it every single day and they know no matter what i'm standing on hands and knees and no matter what i'm going to make it to mass on saturday or sunday. that's the most important part of my life. that has allowed me the ability to be there for them in every capacity but, hopefully, just being an example they are going to gravitate towards it because they see how much it works for me. when i was younger. i wasn't really like in a strict catholic family. my parents expected us to go to church but they weren't going.

coordinating 2021 abbey gate bombing has been captured. the attack took the lives of 13 service members and injured countless others. >> tonight i'm pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity and he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of american justice. and i want to thank especially the government of pakistan for helping arrest this monster. >> national security adviser michael walz and his team played a keep key role in bringing this terrorist to justice and joins us now. great to see you, congratulations again. >> thank you. >> everything is brand new. being in the front row. this was a total surprise. what was it like when the president called the families to tell them they got the master mastermind behind the attack. >> it was emotional. they were emotional if you remember one of the fathers steve nikoui in the last state

of the union was so upset at biden amend his team that they had never said their families names. they didn't even say afghanistan. that he kind of lost it and yelled out and was arrested. tumor that? >> brian: sure. >> just a year ago. so to have these families on just a month into the presidency having them thank the president for promises made, promises met. it wasn't just my counter-terrorism team led by sebastian gorka. it was john ratcliffe. pam bondi, kash patel. they all went out and met the agents last night in the middle of the night as they flew this monster back. he will be brought to justice. and the president said to these families at arlington we are going to get this guy. we shared the intelligence with pakistan and he has rolled up and he will be tried in a u.s. court so he confessed? >> he confessed. this was the planner of that bombing that killed our 13 family members. >> where will he be held?

>> i don't want to get into thought court proceedings but i will be brought to trial. >> brian: can we trust the pack assistance again? >> it was a step, brian in all fairness we shared the intelligence and they moved on that intelligence and they have now extradited him in a very short order. >> brian: yesterday afternoon, a letter was released from president zelenskyy to the president basically saying i regret what happened in the oval office. i want to sign this deal. he went into things, competence measures that russia could do to show they actually want to have a degree of peace. president trump responded to that last night on the house floor. >> earlier today, i received an important letter from president zelenskyy of ukraine. the letter reads: ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer regarding the agreement on

minerals and security, ukraine is ready to sign it same mull townously we have had serious discussions with russia. and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace. >> brian: so that means, what? does that mean the pause is off? the deal is done? we are back to giving aid to ukraine? >> the minerals deal that we should have had an amazing signing ceremony was all set right on the wake of prime minister starmer, president macron, the nato section. that was a step towards then negotiations for a cease-fire, negotiations for a broader permanent peace deal. what we came out of the oval office truly questionable last week was would president zelenskyy ever deal with the russians. and we ever bring this war to an end? and our point continuing has been the american people's patience is not on his side. the war effort is not years from

now but now, look, i just got off the phone on the way here with my counterpart, national security adviser. we are talking about a location, a date, negotiating team, yesterday and today was a positive step forward to say we are going to negotiate this peace and we're already talking about confidence building measures that will then take to the russians and test that side. this is going to be a tough shuttle glomsz but both sides have to enter into it. and, you know, that's what friday put into question. i think we are moving in a positive direction now. >> brian: michael, when you read this letter and you went over it with the president, did he say got it, this is had enough for me to move forward or do you still need more from the ukrainian side? >> he said got it. wish we had heard this last week. this is a good, positive first step and then directed us to get the details of the negotiations and set those in and i will go

back to him today and, you know, -- >> brian: is it there a chance the pause will be lifted. there is a report too that intelligence sharing has also stopped can kyiv. >> i think if we can nail down these negotiations and move towards these negotiations and, in fact, put some confidence building measures on the table. then the president will take a hard look at lifting. >> brian: get back on the peace process. >> we have to know both sides are negotiating partial around permanent peace. >> brian: you have not seen anything negative from this letter. >> and the conversation. i have to tell you the conversation this morning was much better than what we have been having the last several days. >> brian: you must have an easy job. you look fresh. you don't look tired. you look ready to governmental okay. we are getting a lot done. ship building, greenland, hostages, gaza. yeah. the president is ready to do big things and he is not slowing down. >> brian: by the way the "wall street journal" has a story something you are working on

>> carley: new overnight hundreds of anti-israel demonstrators protesting appearance by israeli prime minister natali bennett at columbia university. a spokesperson for one of the organizing groups says the

decision to host a man with such a violent and openly discriminatory record sends a message that the university values some voices over others. the protest happening at the trump administration threatens federal funding for columbia over his failure to combat anti-semitism on campus. the los angeles city council voting 13-2 against reinstating fire chief kristin crowley fired by mayor karen bass over the chief's handling of the deadly palisades and eaten fires. bass claims that crowley sent 1,000 firefighters home the morning the fire broke out and refused to do an after action report. crowley insists those first responders were sent home because of a lack of equipment for them to operate with. meanwhile, the new report in the "l.a. times" reveals that mayor bass' office did receive emails warning about the wildfire risk before her controversial trip to africa. mayor bass had said she had no

advanced notice. interesting. those are your headlines, ainsley, over to you. >> ainsley: all right. thank you, carley. the lefts on full display dozens of democratic congressman, women wearing pink in a show will of solidarity for women but staying seated when the president highlighted all his recent wins for women which they voted against. >> peyton, from now on schools will kick the men off the girls team or they will lose all federal funding.

>> ainsley: fox news contributor katie pavlich joins us now. what was your reaction to that democrats staying seated. not applausing. some of them holding phones and holding up signs. >> ainsley, democrats are living in this delusional world where they can claim that they are for women's rights but then not be for any of the policy positions that the president is currently implementing with the help of republicans. the fact that they couldn't stand up or applaud for alexis nungaray whose daughter was brutally murdered by a vicious venezuelan gang that the trump administration is trying to get out of american communities. there are not more young women murdered. they did the same thing for laken riley's family recognized. of course laken riley was murdered out on a run as a nursing student in georgia. then, of course, they couldn't even applaud or stand up when the president talked about keeping men out of women's

sports, which is an issue that during the 2024 election was under reported, under talked about. but, parents, this is a parental rights issue. they are concerned about the safety of their girls. this is an issue that goes beyond just sports and stealing scholarships and taking places on podiums at the end of a race. it's about getting men into locker rooms, into battered women's shelters. into spaces where women need protection and to be safe. democrats can't cheer for parents having the right to make sure that their daughters are not playing against men and openly force to undress or see men in their locker rooms. it is just astonishing from a political perspective when you look at the polls on these issues, whether it's illegal immigration kicking out violent criminals. or having men in women's locker rooms and sports democrats continue to be this fringe 20% that wants these policies to continue. it's not just a statement, right?

it's not that they just didn't clap or stand up last night. you just had every single democratic senator in the u.s. senate vote against legislation to protect women's sports. i mean, if they want to give republicans more issues to win on in the future, they certainly did it last night. >> ainsley: yeah. i don't know why they want to die on this hill. daughter transitioned she had no idea. the school helped the child transition without telling the parents. that seems like common sense to have those conversations at home and include the parents. that's what all parents would want. katie, thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you. >> ainsley: you are welcome. the president also talked about the economy and gave the man democrats love to hate a big shout-out for slashing waste. >> i have created the brand new department of government efficiency.

[cheers and applause] thank you, elon. you are working very hard. he didn't need this. he didn't need this. thank you very much. we appreciate it. everybody here. even this side appreciates it, i believe. they just don't want to admit that. >> steve: yeah. that was really something. if you missed last night's festivities, today is kind of the post game show. we can highlight it. if you voted for trump and you were waiting for him to tell you what he had accomplished so far and what he intends to do over the balance of his administration, it was every

democrat in the house just sat on their hands, did not want to give him the time of day. ains even though is he saving our country hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud and waste, and, brian, he also went through the list of some of the things that are wasteful spending. he said 22 billion from hhs to provide housing and cars for illegals. 8 million for making mice transgender. everyone laughed and he said no, this is real. 29 million for illegal hotel rooms in new york city and 47 million for improving learning in asia. why don't we spend that on improving in our own country, brian. >> lawrence: that's true. >> brian: the treasury secretary said yesterday what he has done already because it's under reported is no longer can a check leave the treasury without an address on it hun is getting it and having it logged in as simple as that. moneys flowing out to an address and we don't know why and why they are getting this money and

even worse than he imagined and by the way, do you know what he is doing today? a little bit later today spacex will launch its eighth suborbit flight test and fully integrated rocket. super heavy booster. besides that nothing on the agenda in between that and asking what else programs he could cut, he has really got nothing to do. >> lawrence: the democrats said they were going to focus on the federal employees. now, i watch our channel, i flip to all the other channels. what story dominated more? the president outlining all the waste fraud and abuse. we are spending money on another country's education when we just got the national report card that says our kids can't read or do math. so, who do you think won last night with the american people on that issue of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse? >> steve: i was watching one of the other channels last night. as it turns out, one of the other left leaning hosts actually called out the democrats for holding up the little signs saying that is not

landing. that is not a good message. you need to be unified. they have got nothing so far. >> ainsley: donald trump said one person listed under social security is 360 years old. older than our country. >> steve: bad system. >> brian: good genes. >> steve: bobby kennedy jr. is doing a good job he said. >> lawrence: more "fox & friends" coming up including a special message from mark wahlberg this ash wednesday. >> i asked why am i so fortunate? you know? it always came back to one reason. you know, god chose me to utilize me in the way that he utilize me in the way that he wants me to conduct and carry myself. o think i was never meant to be beautiful. ♪ you and your team work within my budget and helped me feel confident in the plan we made together. i love my new smile. thank you.
