there will be hell to pay. >> todd: sanctuary city mayors getting major reality check when they testify in front of house lawmakers. >> all mayors today are actively working to harm the american people you represent. you all have blood on your hands. we don't ask about immigration status. >> you don't ask how much money the city of boston has spent on illegal immigration. are you out of your mind? do you manage your budget or not? >> brand new dna evidence thrown a wrench into the idaho investigation, that could disrupt the case against bryan kohberger. >> i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. big announcement for the auto industry. >> lucas: if you are in the auto industry or planning to buy a car, good news, trump

administration announcing tariffs in the auto industry will be delayed. >> we spoke with big three auto dealers, we will give one-month exemption on any autos coming thr through. resi resip reciprocal tariffs will still go through in -- economic disadvantage. >> lucas: president trump not as generous when its comes to hamas demanding release of the remaining 59 hostages, dozens believed to be dead. trump posting on truth social, release all the hostages now and immediately return all the dead bodies of the people you murdered or it is over for you. i'm sending israel everything it needs to finish the job. trump met with eight hostages yesterday who told the president they did not think they would be free without his return to the

white house . >> president trump: this was hell? >> worst thing anybody could go through. >> i was moved 33 times, no air to breathe, barely food, hardly any water, i'm grateful and thankful to be here because of president trump. >> we are here because of you. >> because of you. >> lucas: trump administration has been holding direct talks with hamas in an attempt to free the remaining hostages. >> todd: thank you. pick up with new jersey congressman jeff van drew. talks are unprecedented. u.s. never engaged directly with imha. will it work? >> i think there is a real opportunity here and i think it will work. peace through strength, war through weakness, four years of weakness and now being strong. it is president made it clear and sense of majority of

congress that we are dealing with face of evil, we have to be strong and they better release the hostages and bodies immediately or there will be hell to pay. there is no in between here. the president is correct, we need to let israel do what it needs to do to win this thing. we always put benjamin netanyahu arm behind his back, now we have a president going full throttle, we will get them released and move forward. if they don't, there will be hell to pay and i believe the united states will go after each and every one of hamas until they are wiped from the face of the earth. >> todd: we'll be watching. white house putting democrats on blast for their disgraceful showing at trump's joint address. listen to this. >> karoline: behavior of democrats last night was disgraceful and demonstrates how out of touch they are with the american public. it was the most shameful moment

in the history of presidential addresses in that beautiful chamber. democrats exposed themselves as party of insanity and hate, party that wants to put america last. >> todd: the rnc could not have paid for the damage democrats did to themselves during the joint address. what were you thinking as you watched your former party implode before our eyes? >> it is one thing to do political damage to yourself, and they did. it looked terrible, it was horrible on the world stage. what i just don't understand, when you are honoring children or families or heroes, good americans, that is something we should all be able to agree on as much as i disagreed with joe biden and many of my colleagues on the left, if they were honoring somebody who was a true

american hero or young kid who went through surgery, i'd stand up and clap. forget about republican, democrat, right and left, that is huknow ma, humane and american and they did not do that. i don't know what to say. from a political stance, that is a dream come true for republicans when you can't stand up and show appreciation to good americans what the hell can you do? >> todd: it is bad when commentators on the left said it was bad. talking about a little child with cancer, talking about victims of heinous crimes, you should be able to put partisan politics aside and show a sense of humanity. fact they couldn't is mind blowing. before we let you go, elon musk holding a closed door meeting with doge and house gop conference and one lawmaker telling fox news, executive doge

team is confident they think they can get one trillion dollars. he acknowledged we'll make miic stas we will correct them very quickly. what is your reaction? 1 trillion, is it realistic? >> i hope it is. here is the deal, there is so much waste and fraud and abuse, we can save a lot of money. people don't want the taliban using american money to buy condomes, we don't need transgender opera in columbia, i can go through the list. we can save a huge amount of money, we have to work with a scalpel. we have to make sure we're cutting the things that need to be cut and there is plenty, especially in washington, d.c., so much fat here. we have to make sure those services and essential things that america does helping working people who are working

poor, helping our veterans, helping make sure our country is and does rise to all it should, we continue to do those and that is the trick. it will be bumpy and once in a while mistakes will be made, if we react quickly and mistakes are corrected quickly, we can all or most of us who care be on board. >> todd: can't let perfect be enemy of good, that seems to be message from elon musk and congressman jeff van drew. thank you. >> carley: president trump set to issue executive order aimed at eliminating education department soon as today. "wall street journal" reviewed draft saying trump will task newly sworn in education secretary linn-mar to take all necessary steps to facilitate closure of the department based on maximum extend appropriate.

mcmahon says she was tasked with tackling bureaucratic bloat and final mission quickly and responsibly. vice president j.d. vance taking trip to border with pete hegseth and director of national intelligence tulsi gabbard yesterday and highlighted sharp drop in migrant encounters since president trump took office. >> we didn't need new laws, we just needed new president of the united states. >> the defense department has assets we can bring to bear, not just troops, survival or equipment, but actual planning and capabilities that enhance what border patrol is already doing. >> our mission is very clear, our objective is to keep the american people safe. >> carley: just over 8000 border

encounters down from 189,000 last february. secretary of state marco rubio says there is only one person that can help end the russia-ukraine war. >> the russian people, people of ukraine and united states, european partners and allies, to their benefit to see this end. one person on the planet can make this happen, his name is donald j trump, president of the united states. we should cheer that on and support that. >> carley: national security advisor michael waltz says white house could consider lifting pause on military aid and intel sharing once date for peace talks is set. special envoy to russia keith kellogg will join "fox and friends" in an hour. >> and dj daniel. >> what a good-looking family. >> one more thing i got for you. >> okay, good.

>> that is very nice. look at that family you got. >> todd: love that. remember this, dj, a cancer survivor, joining "fox and friends first." >> like to say thank you to him, i hope he got his cowboy hat, i brought him a brown one from texas, i'm not sure they got it, the dog had to sniff it and stuff like that. >> todd: looks like president trump did get that cowboy hat from texas, leading me to this. do you want president trump and dj on? >> yes. cowboy boots, as well. that is what lawrence jones is calling for. >> todd: what an adorable child. >> carley: giving out hugs left and right. anti- israel protest turn into chaos leading to arrests and a bomb threat.

courtyard, there is an active bomb threat inside of the building. >> todd: protesters were demanding school reverse expulsion of three barnard students for their role in anti-israel protests last year. the school's president says today has been unsettling, cannot outweigh need of students, faculty and staff who call our campus home. nypd said no explosives were found and the area cleared. president trump ordering washington, d.c. mayor muriel bowser to specifically remove homeless camps outside the white house. saying if she is not capable of doing so, we will be forced to do it for her. washington, d.c. must become clean and safe, we want to be proud of our great capitol. thank you for your efforts,

hopefully you will be successful. >> carley: also this yesterday, sanctuary city mayors from boston, new york city, denver and colorado were taken to task by house republicans for dangerous policy during this contentious hearing. >> you all have blood on your hands. do you love illegal aliens more than you love your fellow countrymen? >> in the city of boston, how much did you spend? >> we don't ask about immigration status. >> how much you have spent on illegal immigration, are you out of your mind? >> do you think it is acceptable for illegals that have committed heinous crimes to be released -- >> yes or no? >> should be held accountable. >> you suck at answers questions. >> i tthings got heated. joining us now are citizens from st

these cities. >> john, as former migrant shelter director from massachusetts, what is your reaction to the mayor of boston's testimony yesterday? >> mayor wu, continues to embarrass with her performance, she paid lawyers to coach her up yesterday to put on that pathetic performance. as migrant shelter director, every woman and child is at risk because of policies of mayor and the governor. >> carley: she was asked in city of boston, how much do you spend on illegal immigration and she responded, we don't ask about immigration status in ifr doll dollaring services. she did not know the answer to that question, is that acceptable? >> totally not acceptable. we are three years into the migrant crisis. continue to pass funding to fund the heeley hotels with no

accountability and no exit strategy to find permanent housing for migrants. massachusetts spent 4 million on this crisis and no plan for housing for migrants and ultimately the commonwealth is failing migrants. it is unacceptable and other budgets are stressed in commonwealth, school, health and this lunacy need to stop. >> carley: remarkable line of questioning between jim jordan and mayor of denver. there was illegal immigrant gang member arrestd and released from county jail forcing ice to go after him and an ice officer was injured. listen here. >> they got to send six officers to arrest this guy. here is what we do, hold him, you come in and bring two officers in and hold him there.

why not do it that way? >> we have city ordinance -- >> because you are a sanctuary c city. officer assaulted because of your policy. >> carley: why would city of denver let illegal immigrant gang member out of jail and have to be recaptured in the injury of a law enforcement officer? >> we are having trouble hearing you. we will work on your audio and while we work on her audio, i will go to ketta. nanc nancy mace mentioned mayor johnson's bad rating. >> well, i don't know if you could say he defended what the city is doing, he defended what he's doing.

i don't know if he answered a question honestly. i was disappointed because some questions asked were questions chicagoans have, as well. great at deflecting. great at giving speeches, but when it comes down to getting answers that people want, we didn't hear anything. it was much of the same. what america got is what chicago has been getting. >> carley: great point, didn't chicago try to reverse sanctuary status and that effort was blocked? >> yes, yes. there has been several efforts to do away with sanctuary city status. at least until a point where we have a handle on the number of immigrants that are coming, what it takes to take i guess take care of them or provide for them, whether that money is

available, where we are not taking money from places that need it in order to support efforts, so much has to go into it, i don't think this administration has thought about. >> carley: great point. john, final question, you are former shelter director, what did you learn in that job? do you think because of this testimony there will be changes made to your city? >> i pray changes come to the city of boston and commonwealth of massachusetts. if tom homan could come today, it would make massachusetts and boston a safer place. there need to be accountability for this agenda, which is putting protecting criminals who commit heinous crimes on vulnerable teenage girls. job of government is to protect the vulnerable and that is not happening right now.

>> carley: protect citizens and it is not happening. we owe kata and priscilla some questions. john, we appreciate it. >> have a good morning. >> carley: senior meteorologist janice dean is here with the forecast. >> janice: feels like spring, we got winds across northeast and heavy rainfall lingering. showers andin woos will continue until friday and severe storm reports many, hundreds of high winds and hail. we had 22 confirmed tornados, relatively weak tornados causing structural damage. next round of snow, rain and wind coming into the west will be our next weather maker for central u.s. and lingering snow and rain and strong winds through friday morning for the northeast, including washington, d.c., up toward boston. winds could be 40 to 50 miles per hour into overnight and

tomorrow morning. if you are traveling, you may not see rain or snow, winds will cause issues, 40 to 50 miles per hour along the coast is concerning. here is new york city, fairly light this, mo. this evening things ramp up in toward friday morning, peak wind gusts there and in boston and into the afternoon and overnight into friday. finally the system will exit. there is forecast today. next storm system in the west, rain, wind and snow, high fire danger for parts of the central u.s. today. in winds and dry conditions. heavy snow up to foot in the mountains, they love spring skiing, good news for them. in the northeast, we may be on the tail end of winter, looks that way. >> carley: music to my ears. >> todd: i have not spoken to

you a lot, i have not had complaints. >> janice: complaint file outside my office has been thin. >> todd: i am not mad, i am happy. >> carley: talk about other things, too. >> todd: i will complain about the printers. >> janice: i can't forecast those. north korea new >> todd: new dna evident in the idaho case. >> how the case against bryan kohberger could now hit a wall.

it could be similar time frame. >> carley: cause of death for hackman and his wife remain unclear, both tested negative for carbon monoxide and officials finding hackman's last activity was nine days before. several items are being evaluated, including medications. hunter biden citing -- who published content of his famous laptop saying the popular suffered significant downturn and his debt in millions range. hunter filed lawsuit in september of 2023 and filing says he does not have resources to continue to litigate this matter. issues in the world of art. >> todd: paintings aren't selling. >> carley: new evident in idaho murder trial, three-person

mixture of dna found under one victim's fingers. chanley painter has details. >> chanley: more motions, new details about evidence in case again bryan kohberger, including dna found under one victim's fingernails. madison, along with kaylee and ethan were brutally murdered in 2022. under logan's fingernails three-person mixture of dna was found. bryan kohberger defense is asking judge to limit testimony about this because they say it doesn't match their client saying mr. bryan kohberger lr is similar to almost every other person for whom well, r was generated and focusing on inconclusive well, r would mislead the injury implying the well, r means mr. bryan kohberger dna might be present

in that sample. the defense has been unsuccessful in trying to suppress dna in this case including bryan kohberger's dna found on a knife sheath that was believed to have held the murder weapon and found under a body. bryan kohberger's defense is trying to convince judge to take the death penalty off the table, they say bryan kohberger has autism citing his failure to make eye contact and rocking in place while seated, behavior that could be misinterpreted by the injury. i have been very close to bryan kohberger inside a courtroom multiple times over the years and never personally observed rocking back and forth, he was very still and did make eye contact with me once. his defense is making arguments and expert testimony to persuade judge to take the death penalty

off the table. trial is set for august. >> todd: throwing it all against the wall. thank you. bring in criminal defense attorney lexie rigden from rlr to issue at hand here. does the defense have a good argument? should this evidence be excluded? >> you know, i'm not sure all evidence would be excluded, i think they are trying toin approximatepoint language around evidence. they don't want somebody getting on stand and saying evidence was inconclusive which could lead a injury to believe that maybe his dna was under her fingernails in layman's terms, these people are not scientists deciding this. reading the motion, the lawyer that wrote the motion is a dna expert herself. this is convoluted in of science. they don't want them to say

inconclusive and people think if they can't excludehim then he is inincluded. biggest bombshell is like an afterthought in the motion, it said that further testing actually excluded bryan kohberger, so they tested that sample and he was excluded. there will be competing testimony in the trial. >> todd: important point. science can get wonky for a jury, bottom line this for us. if this dna evidence is excluded is there enough evidence to convict or could bryan kohberger be found not guilty of these murders? >> that is the 60,000 question and he has talented attorneys who represent him even in other states have been allowed to participate in the proceedings. this entire case comes down to the dna and we've learned a lot

through the motion. one thing we learned by listening to oral argument is the defense said prosecution never said how he's connected with the victims. we learn a lot by reading and hearing what is said that is not coming out. dna will be crucial. >> todd: another case that really has captivated nation. two suspects arrested after three kansas city chiefs were found frozen to death last year. turns out victims did not die of what i refer to as voluntarily freezing themselves, they were poisoned. >> yeah, and they were given a cocktail of drugs and took a cocktail of drugs. this is happening all across the country, especially with the fentanyl coming over our border and there are a lot of states including where i practice in new jersey, where supplying somebody with drugs that kills

them is a serious crime. in new jersey, the most serious crime, first-degree crime. they charged this emwith involun tary manslaughter and distributing the drugs. does not matter if you didn't intend to kill the people. if they took drugs you supply them, you could get in trouble. people supplying drugs, legality is last thing they are thinking about. people using and selling drugs don't really understand implication if somebody taking drugs dies and how much trouble they can be in. >> todd: we need to set that expectation out there to create de deterrent effect so situations like this do not happen again. lexie rigden, appreciate it. thank you for your insight. mastermind behind terror attack that killed 13 in afghanistan will finally face justice on american soil. democrats did not feel like

applauded when it was announced at trump's joint address. >> carley: mother of one of the service members killed will react and tell us what she thinks about the democratic response. >> only a third of democrats so much as clapped, which is sulting as a gold star family. this has nothing to do with politics, this is our military we're talking about.

applauding and cheering. there was only one side that seemed to be doing that. probably only a third of democrats as much as clapped, which is credibly insulting as a gold star family. that has nothing to do with politics. this is our military we're talking about. >> carley: 13 u.s. servicemembers were killed. bring in paula, whose son army staff sergeant ryan knauss, was killed in that attack. great to see you. what a moment during that speech when president trump made the announcement of the arrest of this terrorist. what was your reaction when you learned this news? >> he's not a magic maker, he's sure doing great work in our nation. month and a half and he's done more than any president in making sure every moment counts right now in this nation. when we hear someone who was

responsible for the deaths of many americans is being held accountable, that is a great day. >> carley: certainly is. and the president said that he held a phone call with family members to announce this news. were you on that phone call? if not, have you spoken to anybody who was and tell us what it was like. >> i was not on the phone call. i sure did get a lot of response from people around this nation who made me aware of what he was talking about during his speech. and we watched and uch waed again and were so pleased. we're pleased to know the president keeps his word. he's making sure in every aspect of american lives he issic maing his time count in the office. >> carley: paula, it is true that president trump and trump admib min stragz med that

priority upon taking office in january and increased intel sharing to get this guy and they did. are you surprised this was a priority for the trump administration? >> well, if he did not then every terrorist around this world right now would be eyeing us more. so because he is showing he's showing no tolerance for n nonsense, especially in lives of our military and those we are serving. this is a great response from our president. >> carley: we're showing a picture now of the man responsible for the planning of your son's death. he has a mask on, wearing like a blue medical jacket. he's squarely in the arms of two fbi agents. when you see that image and see this man's face, what are you thinking? what goes through your head?

>> he is one limbo a tree of wi wickedness. if we can take one terrorist down off that tree and chop them away, that would be perfect. >> carley: he's admitted to being planner of this attack, appeared in court once. how closely will you be following his court proceedings? do you want anything to do with it and hear about the assist when announced? >> all that needs to be done recognized he needs to be executed. not because i'm a mama who lost her son, it is simply a national crisis when we allow terrorists to harm americans here or abroad. >> carley: fbi director kash patel said his apprehension and arrest, he said we are a step closer to justice for american heroes and their families. we are so grateful. thank you for joining us, we

always appreciate having you on. >> yes, ma'am, thank you. >> carley: to lawrence jones with a look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> lawrence: finally justice for the families. good to see ulia. big thursday morning on "fox and friends." ukraine signalling back at the table after the explosive white house meeting last friday. trump administration suspension of aid and intelligence sharing this week. special envoy to russia and ukraine keith kellogg will tell us where we stand now. plus while trump administration is deporting violent immigrants, boston mayor michelle wu says everyone is welcome. and pierzynski will join us live on the curvy cap. we have a busy morning, some call it friday eve, coming up on top of the hour. ol? it's dayquil plus a rush of vicks vapors.

the tony award-winning music hamilton kennedy center in washington canceling after president trump made major changes including firings to the board. hamilton's producer saying given the recent actions our show in good conscious not be a part of this new culture being imposed on the kennedy center. we are not acting against his administration but against the partisan policies of the kennedy center as a result of his recent

takeover. the kennedy center interim executive director calling out the show's producer and creator saying, quote: this is a publicity stunt that will backfire. the arts are for everyone not just for the people who likes and agrees with the mummablyupably words there. >> i didn't think you were going to say arts like that and you did. oh, gosh,. >> little things for todd. happy to accommodate looks like they are going to throw away their shot. james got that one. >> carley: is that a hamilton joke? i have never seen the show. >> todd: oif you go to the concerned center you will not be anymore. >> carley: a legal setback from the white house in a closely decided decision the supreme court had ordered the trump administration town freeze $2 billion worth of foreign aid. >> todd: conservative justices were furious with justice samuel alito writing in dissent today i'm stunned today the court

makes most unfortunate misstep that awards uberous and imposes a $2 billion penalty on american taxpayers. rnc spokesperson danielle alvarez joins us now. justice alito goes on to question how a single district court can compel the entire government to make a payment like this. so, can doge ultimately succeed if activist judges in lower courts try to stop it? >> well, what the supreme court also said is that the district court needed to provide more clarity because they were abusing, as you said, weaponizing and using lawfare against a federal government. we know that democrat are going to try to sue up and down to prevent the mandate that president trump was delivered. really important thing to remember is exactly what these usaid dollars are going to, millions of dollars to promote tourism in egypt. millions of dollars for dei in

serbia. millions of dollars for books and musicals promoting dei in south america. it's just not something that the american people will stand for and the trump administration will continue fighting against in court and through whatever levers that they can to support the american people and make sure that they are cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. >> carley: practically speaking, danielle does that mean this $2 billion taxpayer money a does that mean this is going to go out to those really crazy things that people didn't even know that their money was being spent on? >> the hope is that it's not. it's my understanding that the trump administration will continue to fight in court. again, the supreme court did say they needed to provide more clarity on that temporary restraining order and that they would look into the issue, again, once that district court made the ruling. but, again, that reminder on that waste, that fraud and abuse

that these taxpayer dollars are going to. and i think the american people are absolutely appalled. >> todd: wish it was going to this. tulsi gabbard revealing over 100 migrants with suspected ties to isis crossed the border illegally under biden. but the biden administration only locked up or deported 8 of them. here's more from tulsi. >> of those who were arrested, only 8 were either deported or remained in custody. only 8. the rest of them were released back into our country. where are they? what are they doing? what may they be plotting? >> todd: why do you think that is, danielle? was it incompetence? was it purposeful? why aren't those other 92 individuals still in custody? >> >> it certainly is all of the above. we know that the previous administration handed the current administration an absolute disaster. first of all, what an incredible cabinet that president trump has picked having tulsi gabbard and pete hegseth at the border

talking about these issues. now that they are in office, they are able to take a look at the real numbers. the real disaster because we know that the previous administration was not being truthful about what was going on at the border. we have also seen that president trump has been able to take care of it in the first 30-plus days of his administration. certainly, more to do but we used to have 8,000 illegal border crossings under the biden administration in a single day. and we saw in the trump administration, that that was about the number for the entire month. the president is going to continue committing resources to fix this problem. and to make sure that we stop these illegal criminals, drug traffickers, human traffickers, and with ties to terrorism to make sure that they are no longer in our country and that we can protect the american people. >> carley: yeah, danielle, also this, president trump held a really powerful meeting with former hamas hostages. israeli hostages yesterday,

where they presented him a plaque that reads whoever saves one life saves the world entire. after that meeting, he posted that message on truth social telling hamas release the hostages now or it's over for you, clearly he took what they said to him to heart. final thoughts? >> i think that this president is doing an incredible job. president trump, before even being sworn, in being able to strike a deal for cease-fire in the middle east. i know there are white house officials working sleeplessly to make sure this happens. make sure the hostages return home. i have been in the room as president trump has negotiated. i have seen him flex those muscles. it is powerful to see. and i am just so proud to have him at the helm. >> busy day yesterday and even more today. danielle alvarez, thank you for joining us. "fox & friends" starts right now.
