donald trump invited us down here and i was not expecting for a lot of people to be. >> the president survived d.j. and his family with a visit to the oval office yesterday. >> what a good looking family. >> one more thing i got for you, a big hug. >> okay. good. that's very nice. look at that family you got, huh? >> democrats received criticism by not standing when trump honored the little boy whose lifelong dream had been to become a law enforcement officer. dnc offered this now famous hug to the director of the secret service after president trump made d.j. a secret service agent and d.c. and his father joined the show yesterday. >> i would like to say thank you to him. and i hope he got his cowboy hat because i bought him a brown one from texas. i'm not sure if they got it out of the thing where they check it. because the dog had to sniff it and stuff like that. >> well, the hat passed mustard

there it is on the resolute gift in the oval office. a gift to president trump after oval office visit. after joining the show yesterday i spoke to d.j. and his father. guys, the family sells they live in congressman al green's district they did not appear too pleased at his behavior getting tossed out during trump's speech by the house speaker. they wish he had stuck around to see their constituent honored. >> lawrence: just trashy behavior. thank you, lucas. i went down this rabbit hole yesterday of looking at all these videos of the kid. i didn't realize a couple years ago he went viral because people in houston texas embarrassing making fun of the kid because he had a cop uniform on. he said the other day that he doesn't know when he is going to die. that when he is out of gas, that means the lord will call him home. i just think it's disgusting that his own congressman couldn't show a little bit of class and stay there and greet the young man.

>> ainsley: cancer won't slow him down until god calls him home. fox kittle reached out to 25 democratic lawmakers just to ask them why didn't you applaud? why didn't you stand up. why didn't you show that you appreciated him? he is an american? he is 13 years old and been through so much. and we only heard back from three democratic lawmakers. and one said debbie dingell said it made me cry. i had tears. touched. and then representative mark a democrat from texas said our hearts are with the riley family on the loss of their daughter and inspired by d.j.ens story. shouldn't be confused with the disdain we have for president trump's divisive and strident voice. >> brian: right. got to sneak that in. wasn't just the 13-year-old. return of marc fogel, let's not stand for that revenge porn let's not stand for that the first lady is fighting for that hhow about the capturing of isis

terrorist happened at abbey gate. not stand for that student getting accepted into west point that doesn't get any democrat to pay attention except john fetterman he tweeted this out. a sad call have a slide self-owns and petulance only makes trump look more presidential and restrained. we are becoming the met fork call car alarms that no one pays attention to. it may not be the winning message. stephen colbert among people. david axelrod among democrats, i'm embarrassed by that behavior. what was that? these were american stories. not trump stories. everything in politics now they link to trump. it just can't be a moment to unify the country and they just seem to have lost their minds when it comes to donald trump that they completely broke them they can't do the honorable thing just stand there. applaud sit there peacefully and

not disrupt a joint session. we showed you some of the polling yesterday, voters are going to reject this kind of nonsense. >> ainsley: you don't want to support your lawmakers that are supporting other american stories, we don't know how that young man how d.j., how his parents voted. they might not have voted for trump looks like they ro him now. you said they are in al green's district the guy who was kicked out in the very beginning we don't know how they voted they are just americans will are americans 13-year-old boy had surgeries. how many times his personality has changed because he has had some brain surgeries. this kid has been through a lot. you can't stand for him? >> brian: by the way antics on the store. congresswoman stansbury holds up a sign this is not normal.

>> lawrence: just trashy. >> brian: congressman gooden just grabbed it out of your hands. what are you doing? i didn't pick this up until after the show yesterday. i did not know the democrats were supposed to escort him in. they refused to. so right away you knew knew this was going to be wwe. >> ainsley: he described it as two different countries, one half of the room didn't care about the other half of the room and it is just insulting that we can't be together as a country. >> lawrence: congresswoman was at this hearing yesterday acting just a fool yesterday she had the opportunity to ask tough questions. but she refused to. this is the democrats yesterday with four democratic mayors. >> make it make sense. my republican colleagues across the aisle believe a 6-year-old from el salvador who wants to go

to school and a mom who fled violence in haiti are the reason to believe that the cost of eggs are too damn high. >> mr. beard, can you tell us more on what the economic impact of food prices and housing costs of mass deportations would be and how this could effect a city like phoenix. >> about half the cost of the fruits and vegetables on your -- in your grocery store is coming from the labor of immigrants and other workers at our farms. >> what they're doing is terrorizing immigrant families. that is what they're doing. parents who are afraid to send their kids to school. parents who are afraid that they won't come home again. kids who are afraid to leave their houses, refugees who have waited for years to come into this country and our mayors are sitting here enduring this ridiculous, ridiculous hearing. >> ainsley: first of all, republicans republicans don't blame the price of eggs on

illegal migrant children. that's ridiculous. eggs have gone up because there is a bird flu virus sweeping through our country and killing a lot of these hens. then you have the targeting of illegal criminals. that's who. >> lawrence: criminals. >> ainsley: that's who tom homan says they are going after. not going after the children she says are terrified in schools. tom homan said that yes, we have separated families. we can prosecute the parents. the children can't go jail with them. that's what we do with american citizens. you break the law, did you go jail. sorry, you are removed from your family. half a million children were trafficked into this country. they can't find 300,000 of them. the whole democratic party remains silent on that, he said. then he said the border is more secure now than it ever has been because i'm working with the greatest president of my lifetime who has illegal immigration down 97% and he did it in three weeks. >> brian: not going to be able to get anywhere and put ice at risk if there is no cooperation. everyone right there, even though mayor adams is on the record saying i want to have

cooperation with illegal immigrant criminals. the others are perfectly happy -- perfectly happy having illegal immigrants live in their community because they consider them members of their community just like any american citizen, which i think is totally irresponsible that they were trying to bring that out yesterday and all the democrats would do and all the mayors would do is try to filibuster, a lot of them their retort was why don't you just pass comprehensive immigration reform. and then for the orioles they would say why don't you focus on inflation. but, that's not the issue. it's like talking about why are you talking about space when you should be talking about military? because this is the subject. the subject is why are you not cooperating with ice to get illegal immigrants out of your community? >> brian, it was the number two issue in the election. the number one issue was the economy. you can talk about both of these issues and, by the way, if they really want to talk about 9 issue of the economy. a lot of them market. doing jobs wouldn't do.

but not going to be paid as a save wage. i just don't understand the lack of pivot when you have residents going to all of these mayor's city council meetings and telling them they want the criminals out of the country there was a situation, we will talk about it later on in the show in denver where they released the criminal out on the street and then ice has to run around to catch the guy in the parking lot, an officer gets hurt in the process. i mean, it's just not smart. >> brian: tda, right? >> lawrence: yeah. >> brian: in terms of money that's being spent on illegal immigrants. new york, $6.9 billion, right? and they are running out of money. they need $9 a across the middle of the city so-called congestion pricing. mayor johnson figured out 7 # million. he would not give -- would not talk about what percentage of budget. the mayor of boston would not answer that question. would only say we don't ask about immigration status.

s that's how we keep our city safe. >> ainsley: you can't run a city and just have an open wallet. and not know how much you are spending. she definitely knows. she just doesn't want to answer. >> brian: bob kraft's son running for mayor as a nonpartisan in boston. please elect a nonpartisan. if you can't elect a conservative. but, i think this is an opportunity for someone, a republican to run for that -- for the party to get organized in urban environments. >> ainsley: now to a developing story, officials charging two men in the death of three kansas city chiefs fans. >> lawrence: so the manslaughter case comes 14 months after the friends were found frozen in a backyard. >> brian: chanley painter is here with the details. >> chanley: authorities booking the so-called chemist along with another man on manslaughter charges yesterday. the first defendant, jordan willis owns the home where his friends' bodies were found back in january of 2024. prosecutors say the men died from a deadly mixture of fentanyl and cocaine after watching the final regular

season game together. their bodies were found two days later in willis' backyard in freezing temperatures. in addition to willis, irey carson who goes by blade brown is also alleged to have supplied and sold cocaine to willis and the victims. after searching willis' home investigators found a bag of drugs with willis' d.n.a. on it. another bag of fentanyl had traces of carson's d.n.a. and a witness who was watching the game with the victims providing a probable cause statement claiming he saw a large plate of cocaine supplied by willis for the rest of the group earlier that day. willis' lawyer reactings to the charges saying in part, quote: jordan maintains that he is not responsible for purchasing or supplying the drugs that led to the death of his three friends. we are very much looking forward to the day a jury guess to hear all the evidence in this case. now both defendants face three counts each of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of

delivering a controlled substance. guys, back to you. >> lawrence: chanley this is going to face legal scrutiny. not uncommon for the courts or d.a. to charge someone that provided drugs. but, they are charging him as if he was almost like a trafficker of the drugs. so there is going to be back and forth. challenge the charges in court. the probable cause affidavit. we will see those motions go through, especially at a preliminary hearing phase in this process. but, yes, it isn't uncommon for someone to be charged, especially when they are supplying or selling drugs that, again, lead to the death of in this case sadly multiple people. >> are they saying anything, chan lynn from, a legal standpoint? is he being accused of lacing their food or their drinks or did the three men who died, did they make the choice to take the drugs? >> all indications that all three men made the choice to partake in this drug activity, unfortunately, that led to their gee mize.

>> brian: thanks so much, chanley, appreciate it. >> ainsley: okay, let's hand it over to carley she has more headlines. >> president trump demanding the release of the 59 remaining hostages from gadd. release all the hostages now, not later and immediately return all of 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. this is your last warning. the white house confirms that the administration is holding direct talks with hamas on the release of hostages in gaza, including five americans. the fbi releasing a new photo of the suspected mastermind behind the 2021 abbey gate bombing in afghanistan that killed 13 u.s. service members in 2021. the isis-k suspect detained after being extradited to the u.s. and making his first court appearance entrepreneurship announcing the news to the joint address to congress on tuesday.

whole lot of questions he campaigned on this in 2023. i want linda to put herself over the job. >> brian: you need votes in the senate to close a department down and you need 60 votes. i don't even know if every republican is for doing this. at the very least i was able to speak to her on tuesday night. i said i hear william bennett was on our channel and saying it's really hard because reagan wanted to do it, too. he said -- she said well, what i could do is lean it out. get as much money as possible to the states, and then show everyone how effective it is and maybe the senate will come to that decision. >> lawrence: which i think is the goal get more money to the localities, don't just keep it in the local traditional. open up innovation with school choice so the schools locally can compete and the bad schools get shut down and the schools that are performing at a high

level getting our kids to read and do math so we can have a better report cashed get more funding. >> ainsley: it's not a big agency. only 4,000 employees and comparatively speaking that's small. $268 billion budget. so we'll interview her tomorrow find out why he wants more control for local governments instead of having a broad federal government agency education. >> lawrence: why aren't we giving the schools with massive waitlists. all these kids want them to go to these schools and parents want them to go to the schools for a reason. >> brian: charter schools. >> lawrence: shouldn't be a waitlist. give them more money so they can get better facilities so all those kids can be removed off the waitlist and have a quality education. >> brian: looks like they have $15 billion of kids worth of disabilities there are certain things that are from a central location is probably better a lot of republicans would like some control and beverage you have is money if you see a

district 1619 project pumping out the dei things keep that up lose federal money. one things you would lose at the department of education the ability to pull that back and control behavior if it goes away. meanwhile have you seen this viral video a dad revealing daughter's ambulance ride doubled in cost after insurance. is he going to join us live. >> ainsley: plus why the trump administration is deporting violent illegal immigrants. bostonnens mayor michelle wu is saying this. >> to every one of my neighbors back in boston, know this: you belong here. let's talk about tom homan. shame on him for lying about my city. ♪

shame on him for lying about my city. others may want to bring hell. we are here to bring peace to cities everywhere. >> lawrence: unbelievable. our next guest is slamming the mayor's policies for jeopardizing the safety of residents of massachusetts. amy car valley joins us now. amy, welcome to the program. >> good morning, thanks for having me tom homan has been very clear and the president of the united states has been very clear they are targeting criminal illegal immigrants. >> absolutely. it's the height of irresponsibility for a big city mayor to welcome in to welcome in criminal migrants, criminal illegal aliens, tom homan has made clear starting with the targeting of criminal illegal immigrants. crime in boston, highly publicized incidents of criminal illegal aliens who have committed violent crimes we saw

the top two issues in massachusetts like nationwide were immigration and the economy. both are linked in the city of boston for the mayor to completely ignore the will of the residents of boston again the height of irresponsibility. >> lawrence: boston is a -- i'm sorry, massachusetts is a blue state. so when you have a blue state saying that they don't want illegals coming in the community, it's not because they are hateful as they try to make republicans out to be but because of the issues that come with that. we looked at some of the numbers because she wasn't able to provide for boston but we did find some from your state. when it documents illegal migrants in the state of massachusetts. we got 355,000. when it comes to the benefits, talk about snap benefits. 4.6 million and then the emergency shelters, $1 billion. i'm sure y'all can use that

money for other programs, right? >> yeah, absolutely. we know of over a billion dollars being spent for these emergency shelters for migrants at the expense of taxpayers in massachusetts. we see veterans. we see single moms on waiting lists for housing. and migrants coming over the border from day one are being prioritized over long-time residents of the state. it's outrageous. and i think we saw a change in the voting population last november. and so for the mayor not even to take responsibility for knowing who is in her city and understanding where benefits are provided, she tried to pass through an increase in the commercial tax rate and she was rebuffed just a couple of months ago. and, again, she needs those tax dollars to support these migrants. and i think the residents really have had enough. >> lawrence: amy, here is some of what the boston mayor had to say at that hearing, watch. >> in a boston suburb, an illegal alien raped and impregnated 14-year-old daughter while living in a shelter for

illegal aliens. would you turn this criminal to ice on a detainer? >> whenever there is a criminal warrant, boston police enforce that and hold people accountable. >> will you turn that criminal over to ice? >> we follow the laws. >> i take that as a no. >> do you believe that ice arresting a child rapist, quote threatens everyone's safety? >> no. >> you say ice's efforts actually threaten the safety of everyone, end quote, boston mayor michelle wu. you're a hypocrite. >> lawrence: amy, i'm curious on the ground in boston. what is her approval? do the people support this type of stuff? in boston? >> people do not support it. in fact, they have come to us at the mass republican party and said, please, you know, help us institute change in the city of boston as well as statewide in the governor's office. you know, we referenced this incident where a migrant was raping his daughter repeatedly,

and he was simply moved to a different migrant shelter. he was not initially arrested. he was not held accountable. and these are the policies that are being put in place by these democratic leaders who are failing not only the residents of our state, they are also even faking the migrants. the children who are coming across the border. so, we are hearing from residents that they really want change and they want to work with us to institute change. we are grateful for the federal government and the u.s. congress calling attention to these issues because they are not being followed by the local media in boston and statewide very much. >> lawrence: the lack of common sense persists within the democratic party. i hope change can come to boston very soon. amy, thanks so much for joining the program this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> lawrence: you got it. new developments in the u.s. talks with ukraine. are peace negotiations really on the table after last week? white house melt down. special envoy to russia and

sharing intelligence. what do you think comes from that and what's the u.s. stance about that? >> yeah, brian. thanks for having me this morning. it's good to be with you. look, this goes to what president trump has said all along, to start with and is he absolutely right, this war would not have started if he was president of the united states. but he has been looking at this for a long time. this isn't something that just came into on the 20th of january when he was inaugurated. he has been thinking about it. working about it. i remember him being on the campaign trail a year ago when we actually talked about it when we went into iowa. and, look, he has basically said look, this war is an endless war right now. it's in almost a stalemate condition and this war has got to stop. what you are looking at, the levels of destruction is horrific. the president sees that he says consistently that he wants the war to stop. needs to end the killing. he has been very, very good at that when you look at the europeans trying to bring them along the same way. >> look, you got to come to some type of negotiated resolution to

this. it's not going to be decided on the battlefield. it's just not. both sides are dug, in they are ebb trenched and the president sees diplomacy, is he good at this, coming to a solution. look what he has done in the last 40 days. steve witkoff talked to putin in moscow. i have been in kyiv talking to zelenskyy. he has an all-star team. when you look at bessent from treasury and you look at steve witkoff the special negotiator that working with russia. when you lutnick, mike waltz. it's an all-star team that has a full-court press on trying to bring this to a resolution. he is trying to bring the europeans along with him. if you don't do it, don't do it. >> brian: so, general, it looks like they are ready to sign a minerals deal as it looks. i don't know if they need to see each other fails to face. they could do a docusign. we do that every day and then we get to it. now, besides russia talking to witkoff, and saying to president trump personally they are ready

for peace, where is any russian give? when can we see if russia is actually going to do something substantial, any type of confidence building on their end? yesterday they are still bombing cities and hospitals. >> well, you know, brian, this is a war. this is the reason why president trump wants to stop. you know, war is not pristine, president trump really sees that and he sees the horrific casualties and the damage to the cities. he made that comment earlier last friday when he talked about the damage to the cities. look at mariupol, i have been inside a city of 70,000 down to 20,000 and the destruction i saw there. the president gets it. he sees it where he wants to go. he has steve talking to the russians, talking personally to president putin and we have got a set of conditions what we know that steve has come back with. we have gone to the ukrainians and talked to. they and we are going to continue to talk to the ukrainians to get confidence building measures that we can

bring to the president. say okay, this is the way it stands on both sides. this is where you want to go. it's not an easy process. it's a really difficult process. the president has said that you know, remember he made the comment that the middle east is kind of easy compared to this? so, he is actually working it hard. great team in place sin critical conditionized going forward. >> brian: sign the deal we are ready to talk. what's the next move with russia? >> that's one of those where i think it's internal to the white house. >> brian: okay. >> the discussions going forward. steve has got that. mike waltz has got that marco rubio has got that. marco is the chief diplomat of the united states of america. it's on his plate to move that forward. i don't want to get ahead the president. i would never do that this is his decision to make. he is the president. we will go from there. >> brian: no america knows more about what this is like on the

ground than you. private citizen, that's why you are the perfect pick. ask you to tap into your veers years of the military experience the gaza war and idf and phase one of the peace deal. yesterday, the president put out a truth social post after meeting with some of the surviving hostages, he said shalom hamas means hello and goodbye. can you choose. release all of the hostages now, not later and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered or over for you. release the hostages now or there will be hell to pay. it's a little bit belonger did you you get the theme. i will give the idf everything he you need. get into the mind of the terrorist, how are they going to internalize. this well, they are not reading the room very well. look, edan alexander the last american alive as a hostage and four dead they want to bring back to the united states. this is something you guys just don't read president trump very well. i go back to 2020, the last state of the union, in closing comments he made if you harm an

american, your life is forfeit. and this months after that we went and picked up a guy named philip watson in africa. we sent seal team 6 to get one single american. that's the way the president thinks. almost like you are not only not reading the room. not reading the president of the united states. he has been very, very clear. they just don't seem to get it. and he is absolutely right. and the president has called this one right on the money. so, if i was hamas, i would say, you know something? just release alexander, get him back to the united states. release the four bodies that we believe you still have, and let's close this deal out. otherwise, you are going to pay a horrible price. but this is not anything new with president trump. the it's the way he is. it's the way he operates. >> brian: adam boehler face-to-face hamas leadership. are you okay with that? and what do you think that does? >> yeah, absolutely. look, adam boehler that's his job to do it. karoline leavitt made those comments yesterday. this is the job of the special envoy for hostage affairs. and adam is doing that adam is

very, very talented to do that. we just want to get the american back. edan alexander. he is the last one there bring him home. that's what we're going to do. nobody can question, you know, our efforts with israel in supporting israel against hamas and hezbollah as well and also iran. this is just another step forward. i don't think people should get worried about the technicalities this is us trying to finish the job. >> idf will be the hammer if they do not produce the hostages. thank you so much general kellogg a lot on your soldiers too. a california dad said he was penalized for having insurance. calling for serious reform to healthcare in america. >> i want to pay less for medical care. i should cancel my insurance if my daughter needs life-saving medical care? >> i don't know, sir.

that discount is only for patients who are uninsured. >> there is no way to put that discount on to an insured person. only the uninsured people get that? >> correct. >> ainsley: that father, robby width joins us now. hey, robbie, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me today tell us what happened to your one an and a half-year-old daugr six months ago. >> she had anaphylactic reaction. very serious had trouble breathing. we called an ambulance. last thing on your mind is would i be better off without insurance right now. they take her very scary to see a one and a half-year-old strapped to a stretcher and take her and reend up getting a bill she is all right now thank god. got a bill for $600 as you guys showed.

then we saw they didn't have our insurance on there. so we went ahead and sent our insurance. and we got a doubling of the bill. as you can see there almost $1,300. and that was shocking. so, i called the customer service representative and that's where he explained that because of a bill gavin newsom signed last year, ab 716. the billing company actually made a mistake and billed us as uninsured. giving us a special discount down to $600. when he this find out that you are uninsured rip that away and charge you more than double. special law. >> ainsley: that is unbelievable. it's bananas. it's nuts what is happening in california. how they are treating hardworking families like your 168. by the way, your family is beautiful and i'm glad your daughter is okay. you thought by saying oh, like all of us. oh, they didn't bill my insurance. let me send in the bill. it's going to go down. instead it went up. this law says 8719 if you are

not insured. you get a discount. the ambulance should only cost what an uninsured patient would pay which is equivalent to medical or to medicare. so for having insurance and doing the right thing, you are penalized. how do you feel about that? >> oh, it's terrible. and like you mentioned, i live in california, so while i am surprised, i shouldn't be, right? building reserves so when we have generational fires we can actually get water out of the fire hydrants. i guess i really shouldn't be. i would love if they would spend more time on issues that would help us instead of financially draining us. >> you told our producers if i had more selfish individual. i could gam tble away at a casino. i would have paid less for an ambulance bill that day and maybe one more money at the casino.

seems very unfair. have you heard from gavin newsom? have you tried to call him or any of your lawmakers? >> you know, what is so great about social media is a video like this has 45 million views. and thousands of people have either tagged him or sent the video. in and not a word. not a word back. >> ainsley: not a word. >> a little disheartening as somebody who is a constituent here and trying to do the right thing by their family and purchase insurance. it's a strange thing in this law to have it dictated by whether you are insured or not is going to be the deciding factor as to whether you get this discount and get provided a better rate. it is absurd to me. >> ainsley: many cases in california seems like you are better off not having the insurance. are you going to drop your insurance now? >> you know, it's something i'm looking at. there is obviously. this is a specific case with ambulance rides. >> ainsley: yeah. >> we are looking seriously into cash pay options and things like that. it's something that is ridiculous to be even thinking

about that you might be better off without it. >> ainsley: thank you so much, robbie. we appreciate you being here. we did get a statement. >> i appreciate your time, thanks. >> ainsley: ththank you. gadd your daughter is okay. we did get a statement managed healthcare elf california law protects healthcare members from balance billing also known as surprise medical bills. members are only responsible for in network cost sharing when they use in network fittings. members who believe they have been illegally balanced billed should file a complaint. also called a grievance with their plan. all right, now she has fire chiefly out with new information on the deaths of gene hackman and his wife. >> just because both bodies were in similar ways or we as experts not sad to say that we know a lot of how people die and how long they were dead for both bodies in a similar manner, that

it could be similar time frame. >> carley: the cause of death for hackman and his wife not clear after both tested negative for carbon monoxide side. hackman's pacemaker stopped nine days before the bodies were discovered. los angeles county and the city of pasadena suing california edison alleging equipment caused the eaten fire that burned 17,000 acres filed properly inspect and maintain the grid. will goal of the suit is to recoup costs. so cal edison reviewing the lawsuit as the official investigation into the cause of those fires continues. it is a big day ahead in the space race. the athena lunar lander is ready for dissent set to touch down near the moon's south pole around noon. second private spacecraft to land on the moon in less than a
