offered to sign it. also causing direct intelligence sharing with ukrainians applied to get peace talks could come together soon? >> i think what happens ukraine wants to make a deal because i don't think they have a choice. i think russia wants to make a deal. certain way only i know they have no choice either. shut down the report. the administration will swiftly revoke the legal status of 40,000 part of a broader plan 1.8 million migrants. under temporary protected status. the press secretary called that report fake news. the president said is he considering calls for it. we are not looking to hurt anybody. certainly not looking to hurt them. i'm looking at this appropriate some people don't.

going? we know the ukrainians will not be there, right? it will just be russia, correct? >> on tuesday? no, it will be the ukrainians that are going. i don't know of any russians that are going to be going. we do know that ukrainian delegation so far includes you're mac. will zelenskyy's chief of staff also a few other names we are aware of off the record. not clear if zelenskyy himself will be going to. we have not heard that from the ukrainians. we are in petty good contact to be able to understand what is it coming together here. significant if he showed up. not obviously a leader to leader meeting. as we have seen zelenskyy making the rounds talking to anyone he can in the last couple of weeks. that wouldn't surprise me either. >> ainsley: jacqui, we were talking yesterday, zelenskyy posted in the letter he said it's regrettable that the meeting went down the way it did in the oval office. and we were all saying is that an apology? we said we will take it. that sounds like an apology. for steve witkoff to say he did

apologize is an indication since he works for trump that president trump accepts that as an apology. >> yeah. and the president seems to be, you know, giving him some grace there because it didn't include the word i'm sorry. >> ainsley: no leader would probably say that. >> maybe not in a public letter. wondered if it might happen in a phone call. the president obviously convince him that ukraine does want to talk seriously about peace. that was really the biggest motivator here. less about his ego or needing to hear an apology than just being convinced that ukraine was serious about talking peace and putting pen to paper and hash out what peace would begin to look like. zelenskyy made a lot of bigger efforts to do that. it did pr move the president enough. >> brian: not strong the ukrainian drone strikes unfreeze weapons and unfreeze intelligence if we really got to that place. jacqui, thank you so much. >> ainsley: thank you. >> lawrence: now to major future updates on the future of usaid

those cabinet leaders were telling donald trump, you know, we appreciate the numbers but we are the ones in charges of our departments. we get to choose who is going to say and who is going to leave. trump on truth social posted this yesterday. i have instructed the secretary in leadership to work with doge on cost cutting measures and staffing as the secretary learn about and understand the people working for the various indictments they can be very precise as to who will remain and who will go. we say the scalpel rather than the hatchet i there this is great. when dealing with faa and transportation. we need air traffic controllers. leave them alone. when it comes to our nuclear missile program. we let go of some initial people vital to maintaining our missile program. at the same time they said we need total revamp of the department. nuclear weapons older than the people over it. >> lawrence: when i was in the cabinet room for the meeting i

asked a two part question, first, mr. president, which cabinet member do you think is doing the best job? and then my follow up was to elon musk, which department are you seeing the most resistance from? >> i think what this is coming to is you have got a businessman who is not used to working in the private sector shareholders and top shareholder and cover whatever he wants to cup. there is a hot of feelings and emotions there are some people that say that the cabinet members they know their departments better than anyone. i think it's a checks and balance thing. elon is going to provide recommendations of things that need to be cut. the cabinet secretaries who have oversight of these cabinet are going to decide where they are going to go from there. if there is he rye stabs the president would make the final decision. >> cut during the probationary period they just did a mats cut

of all of them they would be able to come back. i worked with them for two years or a year and a half and they were great. i want them to stay and come back. we will see. donald trump is going to be on with marie on "sunday morning futures" this sunday at 10:00 a.m. so you have to watch. >> brian: i like to add, too. cabinet officials meet with doge every two weeks until the administration has ramped up efforts fork worse. could could be valuable set up all these companies. get a business administration expert to say look, i have been watching this thing function. you don't need as many vice presidents, you need people more in the field. do. ai get you through.this give the not needed give some severance whatever it is. 68 can be weeks whatever is fair. i was hoping every department would be leaned out through people in cutting edge of business to bring technology and don't necessarily assume everyone in government is sitting on their hands not doing a good job. now that we got them back and work.

school choice look like? would he give x amount of dollars spent on students back to the parents. they could choose private schools or any school in the surrounding area or in their county or state? what would it look like? >> there are various programs that we would look like, scholarship programs, we could use voucher systems to go to different schools. i think there is a lot of ways to provide opportunities to children that are stuck in failing schools. no child should be stuck in a failing school. >> ainsley: do you know for sure he is going to abolish the department of education? >> he has been very clear about that the. he couldn't be any more clear when he said he wants me to put myself out of a job. >> ainsley: how do you feel about that. >> there is definitely a role for education to make sure that as we move education back to the states that we are providing the tools for the governors for the teachers that we can provide them with research to show best practices. because the president's goal, really is to see our scores go up. you know, when 70% our students

cannot read with proficiency that is hard to swallow. he is not going to accept it. >> ainsley: dei telling children if you look at the stats we are well below in all of these. president trump says we spend more money than any other country yet one of the lowest. >> absolutely. that's intolerable. we really have to make sure that our teachers are focused on teaching basics. get back to the science of reading. let's teach it phonetically. we have seen great results in louisiana and mississippi. other states that have put programs in place. their scores come up. they are rising. ains if you get the money back to the states, how will you be able to determine what they're teaching, curriculum? >> the department of education does not set curriculum. >> ainsley: what does the department do. >> the department does a lot of research. we oversee a lot of programs. we make sure that funds are

getting into the states that are by statute. but those can, you know, flow in different ways back to the states. >> ainsley: do we need this department? >> no. we don't. >> ainsley: what be your 4100 employees i'm sure they are fearful they are going to lose their jobs. >> any time there is talk about shutting a department down, the employees that are there are concerned about their jobs. there are good off ramps for them in the country where we right now have over 8 million openings in jobs. i think there will a lot of places to go and we would like to help them get there. >> ainsley: talk to what it means for a daughter of a teacher for 33 years. my tea party is a sister in charleston, south carolina. i want to talk about what it means for the parents. i know you want to give the parents the primary -- you want to make them the primary decision makers. first, substantiate with the unions. what does this mean for the unions, randi weingarten head of aft says trying to abolish the department of education which by the way only congress can do. which is true you would need 60 votes sends a message that the president doesn't care about opportunity for all kids. maybe he cares about it for his

own kids or his friend's kids or donors kids but not all kids. >> well, i can tell you when i talk to teachers who tell me that out of every dollar that comes into the classroom they spend 47 cents of that dollar complying with regulations. we want teachers to be innovative in the classroom let them do what they like to do. there is no one-size-fits-all for education. those teachers that are in the classroom feeling that energy every day knowing what this group of kids can do better. that group of kids can do better. let's let them do what they do. >> ainsley: what would you say to -- would you have any control over the superintendents that are more woke or the schools that are more woke or would that be up to the governors of those states. >> truly up to the governors. there is federal funding that does come into different schools for contracts. we, at the department of education, before i got there, but after president trump was elected, have stripped out dei from a lot of the contracts and taken away that funding.

>> ainsley: without the department of education what will this mean for the students and parents? >> i think we will see scores go up. our nation's report called called nape came out at the january how far down. since the department of education was established in 1980. we spent over a trillion dollars to see our scores continue to go down. we are not doing something right. and it's time to change it. >> ainsley: would it effect the teachers if there is no more department of education. >> no. teachers would be there in the classrooms. they are hired locally. they are supervised on a local basis. the department of education doesn't have anything to do, you know, with hiring teachers. that's all donte local level. i think teachers should be, you know, rewarded, good teachers should be rewarded and i think that teaching is one of the most noble professions in our country. i got my certificate to teach when i was in college. and in my career took a different path. but teaching is so noble. and there are so many excellent good teachers.

anti-semitism. kids ought to be able to go to college and parents ought to feel good about their kids going to college knowing they are in safe environment. and to allow this kind of unrest, this is not about free freedom of speech. we are talking about violence on campus. college presidents need to call in the police right away. they have to quell these uprisings and not allow faculty to be attacked or other students be attacked like the one at barnard yesterday. >> ainsley: doge, provide numbers, wealthiest man in the world to go through and cut out waste and fraud. now it's up to the cabinet secretaries to decide. how are you using that information to run the department of education? >> we surely welcome doge to come in. i have looked at it as an audit. you know, when i was in the private sector. i think a lot of stuff is always turned up when you do a good, solid audit. i welcome the doge folks. we meet with them almost daily.

these issues again. even opposition party needs to have something to support first interview is going to be with charlie kirk. charlie kirk reverses it and asks him you have to agree with me that trans men shouldn't be playing in women's sports. listen. >> you right now should come out and be you know what in the young man who is about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports. >> right. >> that shouldn't happen. >> right. >> you as a governor should step out and say no. >> no. and i appreciate. >> would you do something like that say no man in female sports. >> issue of fairness. it's easy to call out the unfairness of that. >> brian: he does. he got a huge blowback. everything from mayor lori lightfoot to ro khanna and hakeem jeffries had some bizarre statement about women has to prove they are a won like by, i don't know, some type of exam.

your thoughts about this? your thoughts about gavin newsom saying that and the blow back to this party game? >> he has invited me on his podcast. i look forward to joining him as well. and charlie kirk, of course, is brilliant. is he asking very simple questions that demand common sense answers. this is over an 80-20 issue. when gavin newsom is breaking with his party, is he basically saying we need to try to go more to the center. but i would say, respectfully to governor newsom now do sanctuary city. now do anti-recidivism. now ridiculous ev mandate compliance in your state. that's a beautiful state with man made problems. if he and john fetterman want to bring along a few other democrats who just exercise common sense, great. i think right now, because of president trump's great success, that the democrats seem -- they seem cornered and check mated, brian, so if they are starting to show some little -- you need to align with the public. do you know what is different for president trump now?

the public is aligned with his agenda. they trust him on migration and inflation. next month is 10 years since donald trump elevated into the national consciousness. 10 years. and illegal immigration border security and trade. now most americans, overwhelming majority of americans agree with president trump. the democrats have nothing near that on any of their core beliefs. >> brian: absolutely. kellyanne, too. if he was sincere it, wouldn't take charlie kirk question. it would take his legislation to stand up and say i want my state to no longer allow trans men playing in women's sports. instead comes out in a casual conversation. not much behind it and that seems to be a lot of the blowback from the right. thank you so much kellyanne. good luck on that podcast. you will make a ton of news. coming up at sun at 10:00 one nation. john kennedy, congressman mike lawler of new york. the co-host quiz with jimmy failla and kennedy will delight you and we have a part 2 of our look at the university of austin. it's a brand new university. founded by a diverse culture.

that is going to remake higher education. you will love it. special announcement hope to see everyone in st. louis, missouri march 22nd. >> martha: 21st katon, ohio. 21st in dayton ohio. a woman who used to like me. >> you are many things but delightful is on top of that list. don't go anywhere. because look at this video. check out this close call showing a moment a tree almost falls on a family of three. woe. this happened last weekend in brooklyn. the parents are calling this near miss a miracle. and the father told local outlets that he, quote: realized this was from god and god saved them. my goodness. wow, an official ceremony happening today in north carolina redesignating fort liberty back to fort bragg. >> the army base was named a century ago in honor of confederate general braxton bragg but it was changed to fort

liberty in 2023 to purge confederate symbols and references. pete hegseth reinstating the bragg name only this time it will honor world war ii soldier roland bragg a silver star recipient from maine. how about that creative twist of things. >> brian: nice. i was there for fort liberty now i can say i went to fort bragg. >> carley: two in one. coming up in the final hour chris pratt opening up about faith and family. our full interview coming up. i'll stop. >> the father in the household is wildly important. we have got a generation of anxious kids. it's a tough time to be a kid. ♪
