looking for a cause, including the possibility the american helicopter was getting bad altitude data, we are waiting for that briefing to start and we will bring you the news when it happens. >> when it comes to the stock market, the numbers that we see today, the numbers we saw yesterday, the numbers we will see tomorrow are a snapshot of a moment in time. and as president trump has said, and i am here to echo the remarks of this president end of this white house, we are any period of economic transition. >> john: white house press secretary karoline leavitt calling for calm amid another rough day on the stock market. you can see the dow is down 599, 600. it was lower than that not too long ago. it has bounced back a little bit but still way down from where it was when president trump took office back on january the 20th. welcome back a "america reports" rolls into a second hour. i'm john roberts. good to spend another hour with you. >> jacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich cassandra is off today. the trade war with canada

appears to escalate. president trump set to meet with business leaders later today after he announced he is doubling the tariff on canadian steel and aluminum imports. >> john: how is canada responding to this? it seems pretty aggressive. >> ontario's premier says he is not backing down from any of this, prompted the response in president trump this morning, as of tomorrow morning that tariffs on aluminum and steel coming from canada will be double, that will make it to 50%, this is in response to ontario premier doug ford imposing a 25% tax on electricity exports to the united states. those directly affect three states supplied by ontario, that would be new york, michigan, and minnesota. the present writing on truth social, can you imagine canada stooping so low to use electricity that so affects the life of innocent people as a bargaining chip and threat? they will pay financial price. aluminum company of america ceo

said the price will be paid here, too, given the amount of aluminum we import. >> 2.8 million of that comes from canada. so it's important that we continue to have those trade flows be able to come in and support good, strong jobs in the united states. >> and even as the markets reeled, the president is playing along game. >> under president trump, he will no longer allow our country and our workers, our hardworking american families, to be ripped off. >> the president also demanding canada drop what he called an anti-american farmer tariff. agriculture secretary brooke rollins says global action by the president is necessary. >> he has been very clear that for the short term and may be slightly bumpy, but for the long-term, that this group of people, that our farmers and ranchers but also all of americans, we are reaching and moving into a new golden age in american prosperity.

>> changing gears a little bit, the white house says we should expect to see president trump behind the wheel of a tesla at some point today, as a show of support for musk. the president says he plans to purchase one. jacqui, john? >> john: i take it that is what the music is about come announcing the arrival of a car? >> i don't know what that music was. [laughter] >> john: i thought i heard some springsteen in there. "born in the usa?" never mind. may be if you find out, you can let us know. thanks, alex. >> jacqui: at least it wasn't a happy birthday guy. >> john: we used to have a pretty -- when i was there on the north lawn, we had a good street guitarist who would set up in print of the white house and play for hours. >> jacqui: now that i mentioned the happy birthday guy, he will probably be back when i am there. what a briefing, though. >> john: yes. >> jacqui: and a warning from the president to canada, don't you dare shut off electricity or else. >> john: watch here. ♪ ♪ >> mahmoud qamati il was an

individual who was given the privilege of coming to this country to study at one of our nation's finest universities. and colleges. and he took advantage of that opportunity come of that privilege by siding with terrorists. hamas terrorists who have killed innocent men, women, and children. >> jacqui: another warning, actually, the president, the white house slamming anti-israel agitator mahmoud khalil for backing hamas as protest and walkouts are erupting over his arrest. a federal judge is temporarily a graduates deportation but fox -- sources tell fox he is being investigated as a potential national security threat. former federal prosecutor andrew cherkasky joins us in just a few minutes but first alexis mcadams is live at columbia university in new york city for us. hey, alexis. hey, jacqui. in the white house press briefing they made it very clear that they think mahmoud khalil is a threat to our national security. i am told this is not about

freedom of speech, they say they found post and also believe that khalil headed out wires on campus they believe online with hamas. show a photo, this is who we are talking about for a couple of days after his arrest. the state department telling my colleague bill melugin that part of our immigration laws allow the secretary of state to remove any noncitizen if they believe their presence has serious adverse foreign policy consequences. trump's press secretary moments ago doubling down on that. this was the same protest that we are talking about that leavitt says they believe this guy was heading out hamas media office pamphlets and we have that picture, talked a couple of days, jewish students on campus were disgusted and sober their parent to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to send them here. those packets called the octobea moral victory. students i talked to don't know who passed them out so we are working to get more on that. students and staff are walking out of class at columbia today, calling for solidarity, protest

popping up across new york city after i.c.e. agents arrested mahmoud khalil, a former columbia grad student, watch this. >> we want justice! recent mahmoud khalil now! >> release mahmoud khalil now! >> investigators say he is not going anywhere, remain in custody in louisiana after they say he was leading have activities that online with hamas peered a feds told her they were revoking his green card and his visa. watched them unfold for months, lots of damage. came to the united states from syria two years ago, studied at columbia school of international affairs and graduated in december, then married an american citizen who now says she is pregnant, begging for his release. last week he was at that protest, too, but now he is at that louisiana facility as his attorney says he is healthy and in good spirits. the judge ruling, jacqui, as you

mentioned, he won't be deported yet because there is going to be a hearing before that comes and we know there is a process here that will come into play. i want to show you what is happening we have it at washington square park. i think what is went to happen next is these are not going to be protests popping up on the campuses because now the students are getting expelled, kicked out, so they are going to do more of these protests in other areas of new york city. i want to point out, this is near nyu, okay, last time i was out there with these protests happened, these get really chaotic because it is closer to the parks and washington square has a lot of action in it so we are going to have to keep a close eye on it at i will keep you guys posted. >> jacqui: well, when they are not on private university property that means police can get involved in necessary so we will watch that. alexis, thank you. >> john: let's delve more into the legal aspects of this with former prosecutor andrew cherkasky. here is mahmoud khalil in the immigration and nationality act. on deportable aliens. an alien whose presence or

activities in the united states, secretary of state has a reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the united states is deportable. do you believe it is valid or a stretch? >> well, it's undeniably valid, and the secretary of state does have that ability when there is reasonable grounds for even potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences. there is a supreme court case that goes back to 2010 that dealt with a very similar issue, and the supreme court essentially denied the first amendment claims that were being made, saying people who speak in an individual sense may have those first amendment protections, even if they are foreign citizens with a green card, but when they elevate to the point of leadership roles or expert assistance in these demonstrations that tend to support the terrorist organization, those are grounds for which the secretary of state

can deport people so i think the trump administration is on solid footing. it may have to go through several layers of court hearings on this but i think this is going to be upheld. >> john: the new york civil liberties union says khalil was just exercising his right of free speech, that it's against the constitution and against his rights to detain him in this way and think about deporting him. but listen to what a professor at columbia university said in response to that. he said, like mahmoud khalil, i, too, m on a green card. unlike khalil, i don't support u.s.-designated terrorist organizations, take over university buildings, and call for the genoncide of anybody. he was not arrested for speaking out, he was arrested for breakig the conditions of his stay here. you know, i don't think it happens too often, but i ran a quick query earlier today, somewhere between 5,015,000 people are permanent residents or resident aliens, however you want to put it in this country who do get sent

back to their country of origin every year. so it's not like this doesn't happen, though it is when you compare to the number of people who are permanent residents in this country, 12.5 million, a bit of a rare occurrence. >> well, green card holders have many of the same rights as u.s. citizens, but there are certain conditions to their presence here. the first amendment is not without limits. that is where again the supreme court has come down and they have drawn a line in the sand, individual speech, perhaps protected here, but this i think goes well beyond the individual speech. the department of justice is going to have to establish that i think in front of the judge to show that this was more of an organizational effort, that this was something where he is offering expert assistance. then we have to get to i think the idea of who hamas truly is, and undeniable terrorist organization. the irony should not be lost that in court filings defending khalil here they are complaining

that his eight month pregnant wife was with him when he was arrested. not giving any difference to the idea that on october 7th, those women who were pregnant and who had small children who were massacred, had a situation that was so much more terrible. those other people that mr. khalil seems to be supporting when he is out on the streets of new york, seemingly organizing and defending that organization. >> john: president trump seeming to suggest that mahmoud khalil may be the first shoe to drop, posting on x the following, quote come if you support terrorism including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interest and you are not welcome here. we expect everyone of america's colleges and universities to comply. thank you. that is not just a shot across to protesters put a shot across the bow to colleges who seem to allow much of this to take place on their campuses. >> mr. trump is taking language

straight from eight usc 1227, which is exactly the section that allows for deportation, even of green card holders, where there is potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences. that is going to be the key for the department of justice and i.c.e., as they root out these folks, to find specific evidence that goes beyond just individual speech and that shows that this is a serious adverse foreign policy confluence, and i think those actively supporting hamas are those that are going to be targeted and rightfully so. >> john: all right, we will see what happens in this case. khalil is being held at a detention facility in wheezy anna periods attorney wants to get him back at least to the tr. thank you so much, appreciate it. >> thank you, john. >> jacqui: not to saudi arabia where they just met with ukrainians. let's see what they are saying there.

>> but also really looking at what it's going to take to finally end the horrific fighting. the other piece that i just want to make very clear is president trump started the stifel medic effort in the oval office talking to both leaders, both president putin and president zelenskyy back-to-back, and now that shuttle diplomacy continues. we have a named delegation in terms of next steps from the russian side. we have a named delegation in terms of next steps from the ukrainian side. i will talk to my russian counterpart in the coming days. secretary rubio will be with g7 foreign ministers, in the next couple of days. we have t nato secretary generae white house on thursday, and we will take the process forward from there. as a result of that and i think

as a result of this positive step forward, the president has decided to lift the pause on aid and on our security assistance to ukraine going forward. and that is effective immediately. >> reporter: let's start... >> jacqui: that is the big news that president trump decided to lift the pause on intelligence sharing and military aid with ukraine as a result of these talks. we got a joint statement presented from the ukrainian side that has a bunch of bullet points that really show parameters and the beginnings of a cease-fire. you heard secretary rubio say the ball is now in russia's court and that the u.s. is going to present all of this to putin, offensively, later this week. >> john: special envoy steve witkoff will travel to russia to meet with putin in the beginning of shuttle diplomacy, going back and forth between the two countries to see if they can come up with a cease-fire.

>> jacqui: intelligence sharing and military aid is a big development, because there was a lot of consternation -- including from some republicans -- that was going a bit too far -- >> john: too much to putin's side. >> jacqui: however the president was clear was going to be temporary and it looks like it was. >> john: yep. >> jacqui: we are also keeping an eye on the dial but our next guest says don't worry about it, he believes president trump has a plan and wall street is reeling from its own problems. charlie gasparino joins us to react coming up next. >> john: plus breaking details out of the dominican republic as authorities expand their search for missing college student. nate foy? >> every available resource to find this missing 20-year-old college student. this boat just back in the water with search teams continuing their work. but, john, the actual search parameter hears on the beach looks a lot different than you might think. we wil lol show it to you next.

peered a commitment that the ukrainians are ready to stop fiy are ready to stop the shooting so that they can get to the table and bring about peace for their country and for the world. >> i just can't echo enough president trump's a president of peace, that's what he is demanding and willing to take tough measures on all sides to drive that home, and in terms of the security assistance, it is the current presidential drawdown authority. i will refer to the defense department on what munition was where in the process but it is the current p d.a. that will proceed to the ukrainians. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks for your patience. >> john: marco rubio, secretary of state come and michael waltz, national secured advisor in saudi arabia talking about the meetings with the ukraine delegation and the fact they are hopeful this will lead to some sort of peace agreement and finally a cease-fire. >> jacqui: the fact ukraine

accepted the u.s. proposal for an immediate interim 30 day cease-fire contingent upon russia also accepting, could be extended if both parties agree and secretary of state sang the ball is now in russia's court, so now it is on russia to prove that they in fact do want peace which the president has said he received those positive signals so now it is time for them to pony up on that. >> john: nathan sales, former ambassador, counterterrorism coordinator under the trump administration first term. zelenskyy wants to be a partner for peace, steve witkoff will engage in shuttle diplomacy come heading for moscow to talk with putin, probably kyiv after that. what do you think the chances of this actually coming to fruition are? >> it's hard to say and depends on what vladimir putin wants. the ball really isn't his court. does putin want peace? if he does, he has a funny way of showing it because look at what he has done, not just what he has said but done over the past couple of weeks.

he has dramatically escalated missile attacks on ukraine, including on zelenskyy's hometown. he is public reset i don't think i need to make any concessions in order to get piece peered. >> john: but zelenskyy has been attacking moscow on the same time, and plenty of wars with a height of the escalation happened just before the cease-fire was declared. get the last licks in, if you will. >> the hope is because ukrainians reciprocated and responded to russian attacks by showing they can hit russia, too, that gives something that can be traded away. with the ukrainians said let's take all our long-range options off the table and didn't have any, why would the russians say yes to that? it is only because the ukrainians are able to punch back that the russians have an interest in saying, okay, we're going to stand down, too. >> jacqui: what is russia's situation right now? they brought in north korean soldiers to fight their war for them. there were reports captured north korean thought they were there to shoot south koreans. obviously russia needs some manpower at the president has

said, you know, for another reason, one that only i know, they also don't have a choice. what do you think he is talking about there? >> a really good question. watch this space and see what comes out. there is no question the russians, their economy is on life-support, their military has been revealed to be mediocre at best. what kind of army needs to depend on starving soldiers from north korea in order to carry out an offensive? russia is much weaker than it looks. i think the president's instinct are right that if you push russia just a little harder, they are actually going to come to the table in a meaningful way. we will see. the ball is in putin's court. does he want peace? actions will speak louder than words. >> john: a clip of what marco rubio said while we were on a break, the path to peace in a situation like this. >> ukraine is ready to stop shooting and start talking and now it will be up for them to say yes or no. i hope they will say yes it if

they do we will make great progress. if they say no then we will unfortunately know what the impediment is to peace here but the president has been abundantly clear he wants the shooting to stop, the warfare to stop, the dying and suffering to stop, and he believes -- and rightfully so -- that the only way to end this war is to negotiate them into it, and we think it is always easier to negotiate an end to the war when they're not shooting at eah other. the ukrainians today have expressed their willingness and readiness to do so immediately. we hope the russians answer to that will ultimately be yes. >> john: when you were embroiled in a war like this, there are a number of ways that you can get out of it. you compound your enemy into submission, destroy their country, but if we try to do that with russia they fire their nukes at us and that would be the end of everything, right? or you can kind of wear them down and make it not worth their while like in afghanistan and russia pulled out -- >> with american support. >> john: or you can say everybody spent enough blood and

treasure on this, we are at a disagreement, but maybe we can come to some sort of negotiated end to this and that seems to be the avenue they are pursuing. >> exactly right. wars end at the negotiating table, and the key will be ensuring that the settlement, the terms of the deal are ones that are acceptable to the united states and our european allies and ukraine. what that means fundamentally is we cannot simply hit pause and create the conditions that will allow putin to restart the war sometime in the future. i get it, he is not going to invade because he understands president trump, he is not going to push his luck with president trump. president trump amat be in office four years from now and we have to worry about putin doing what he did after the obama administration and biden administration, using any pause to rearm and reengage. whatever terms of the deal are being discussed now, we have to make sure they are peace through strength and we are not going to see a renewal of hostilities at some point in the future. >> jacqui: you would assume everyone on the u.s. site has

continued to reiterate that the final deal has to have a sovereign, independent ukraine. implicitly those security guarantees are there even if they are not spelled out quite yet, but the president faced a lot of criticism for the pause on intelligence sharing, especially, and also the military support, but it seems like he got out of that some willingness from ukraine to agree to a cease-fire because they wanted the security guarantees spelled out first. >> it's good to see that assistance turned back on. that means ukraine is going to be in a better position to obtain favorable terms, negotiating from a position of strength rather than from a position of weakness. i think what we need to see now is is there the same amount of goodwill and willingness on the russian side to make hard choices? the ukrainians of had to sort of suck it up and agree to things that they are not favorably inclined towards. what about the russians? are the russians going to give up territory that they have stolen? are they going to return children that had been

kidnapped? >> jacqui: they will probably have their own set of demands like zelenskyy stepping down. >> time will tell. >> john: well, goodwill isn't something putin possesses in great quantity so we will see. nathan, thank you for stopping by. >> jacqui: the disappearance of young american college student missing in paradise. teams now expanding their search heading into the waters. we are live on the ground next. >> john: and no rad sounding the alarm over mar-a-lago airspace violations, who is the organization blaming? we will have those details coming up.

>> jacqui: all right, another rough day on wall street. down a little under 400 points there, the dial, it closed almost 900 points in the red yesterday. spooked investors worried about these tariff policies and whether they might be driving the economy into a recession. of the president not wanting to say no to that question.

our next guest, "new york post" peace, you should ignore the stock market and massive government spending from past administrations is really what is happening and made this inevitable. charlie gasparino, fox business senior correspondent. hey charlie. thanks for being here. >> i feel very uncomfortable sayegh nor the stock market. i don't think you should ignore it, but there are certain things going on here that the stock market doesn't appreciate. the stock market essentially overcorrect on the downside on negative news all the time. it doesn't take into account the positive stuff often. i have been saying this for years. a great example is what happened in 2009 right after barack obama kate became president. the dow went down to 6,000. still thought we were in the middle of the financial crisis. what they didn't see was all of the efforts to juice the economy and get it going, get the money printing. that build out the banks and

essentially led to a very big stock market rally or the next -- until very recently as a matter of fact. we have had positives in the dial and s and since. the market is not factoring in the good stuff trump is doing, cutting taxes and deregulation. we need the private economy evef government. think reverse keynesian economics. instead of spending your way into positive job growth, you are cutting and trying to get the private economy to do that because if you allow the government to do that, going to get a lot of debt and then you definitely have fiscal armageddon. this is a transition area period. again, let's face it, the last four years, who did really well? the fat cats. the people i write about all the time. they did great. average americans didn't do well. they don't have huge 401(k)s,

get crushed by inflation, economy inflated, financial assets inflated so they can't afford it so we are getting a little comeuppance for the fat cat crowd. >> jacqui: charlie, you wrote very colorfully in "the new york post" sort of explaining what we are seeing come i want to read our audience in mind permit. think of the current u.s. economy is a junkie weaning himself off heroin which is never easy. it's been addicted to the harrowing of government spending, to trillion dollar deficit the economy growing nearly 3% with low unemployment as sleepy joe biden spent moneye didn't have. the question i want to ask you because you said just now the market is not pricing in tax cuts and deregulation but of course that hasn't happened yet and if you can't predict when it's going to happen, how could the market price that into what's happening right now? and if it really is going to be okay, why doesn't the president just say that? >> first off, the markets are

fickle. they basically overcorrect on the downside a lot, so just keep that in mind why they are not pricing in the tax cuts and the positive stuff from the trump economic agenda but i think you are on firm ground by asking why the president isn't out there touting the positive side of his agenda. i sat through a speech by his treasury secretary scott bessent and the other day, new york economic club, it was all of this stuff about tariffs -- which by the way tariffs, the market obviously hates tariffs, okay, whether they are necessary or not, to equalize trade, but he started explaining this stuff, my eyes were glazing over, if you are going to sell listing you've got to sell it. you don't sell it back touting tariffs right off the bat. explain in the context of all the good stuff and they are not doing that, so the markets are part of that. this is a missed sales job from not selling is the best way to put it, the economic agenda. that might change. hires a better speechwriters for mr. bessent and maybe

donald trump can talk about the positive stuff because he has a really good plan and by the way this tariffs start my stuff, if you start one spooling our trade relationships, i don't know if i can really argue with trump or peter navarro or bessent. >> jacqui: numbers on the side -- >> no doubt. how do you sell it? should you prioritize tariffs over tax cuts? the markets are reacting to the fact they are not prioritizing tax cuts over tariffs. >> jacqui: one takes congress and the other does not end we know the president superstitious so if you say there is going to be no recession it is probably somewhere in the back of his mind, you don't want to make that bet. even a short recession, two consecutive quarters of negative growth, at the time when federal workers are retiring, we are trying to shrink government, past tax cuts, everything else,

gets a little dicey. >> it gets dicey but you are a kid, you don't remember ronald reagan's first two years. ask john about that. >> jacqui: [laughs] >> we had a tough economy and then seven fat years. >> jacqui: that is a very nice complement. i'm going to pass it along. thanks, charlie come have a good day. john? >> john: asked me about canada's the search intensifies for an american college student missing in paradise as her parel for an extended investigation. nate foy is live input to connaught, authorities look questioned a must seen with the young woman. what did he tell them? >> john come up dominican police said he told different variations of a story were essentially the two went missing early morning with rough water. he left, threw up on the peach, and passed out and she went in. the search perimeter looks

different and i want to show you why. one vote in the water when we went to break and now you see there are two, the dominican navy army just loaded up that second boat, we have seen scuba divers and snorkelers on the beach today with them surveying the water and i want to ask my photographer to pan over. up on the right, show these guys dressed in orange. those are volunteers helping in the search effort. all of this, john, is happening right next to all of these people just enjoying their spring break. so the search effort is juxtaposed with just traditional vacation behavior, which is really kind of strange. you would expect there would be a defined search perimeter, not the case here, but take a look at this new video showing the dominican navy and army. we have helicopters in the air, drones in the air. i mentioned the scuba divers, as well as dogs and snorkelers, all trying to find this missing 20-year-old, and a family friend spoke about the search efforts right next to her parents. watch this.

>> police was really helping us a lot. >> [speaking another language] >> they have helped us searching for the girl in the ocean. they sent helicopters. they have sent drones. they have sent boats to find whether the girl is there. and today morning they helped us to do the scuba diving, as well. >> so john, we are also learning more about the timeline surrounding her disappearance. konanki lasting 4:30 p.m. wednesday morning. the young man she was with did not leave the beach until 8:52:00 a.m. konanki was not reported missing until 4:00 p.m. later that day. today, dominican authorities say they are reinterviewing people as they work to corroborate all information and her parents are requesting a full investigation to include the possibility of foul play considering her body

has not been found. the real hotel where she stayed is right here, john come and we learned today the hotel actually confirmed there was a power outage or a day leading up to her disappearance. they finally resulted thursday morning when she went missing so that could have played a role in what her and her friends were doing and going to the beach rather than staying in the hotel but police have not officially connected that. we will send it back to you. >> john: a power outage, i saw you said surveillance spotted her going to the beach early in the morning. did they have surveillance of the beach itself? >> not of the beach itself, john. so you see a group where konanki is part of that group going to the beach, then later just off the beach you see every other member of that group except for the young man that police interviewed. they all went back at roughly 5:55:00 a.m., and that i mentioned that man went in at 8:52:00 a.m., so there is a pretty difficult time difference where we do not know what

happened. he told police he got out of the water because the waves were too big and threw up and passed out on the beach and now dominican police are reinterviewing everybody to corroborate all information. >> john: a lot of puzzling aspects to this. nate foy, great reporting, thank you so much. >> jacqui: i.c.e. agents in houston arresting nearly 650 illegal immigrants, and wait until you hear how quickly they did it. national border patrol council president paul perez joining us on president trump's immigration crackdown.

>> jacqui: wel welcome back. houston's i.c.e. field office conducting its largest operation to date. the agency announced the arrest of 646 illegal immigrants in a single week. let's bring in paul perez,

national border patrol council president. paul, read for our audience some of these stats. total number taken in 646 come of them 543 were criminal aliens, seven were documented gang members, and the i.c.e. houston agent said in just a week, they executed 71 criminal arrests, 554 administrative arrests including illegally present human smugglers, gang members, child sex offenders, drug traffickers and weapons traffickers. that's a lot. how are the cartels responding to all of that? >> well, they are going to get more aggressive, and that is only one week of doing this. imagine four years. we are going to put a dent in what president president biden did to this country allowing und criminal cartel members, so that is one step, the first step in the first six weeks. its way to get a lot better for us. >> john: what is the situation like on the border this week? you had 8,000, 10,000 people coming across the border every

day, the record was 50,000. you were caught up doing administrative duties, running transportation. what are you doing now? >> our agents are out there and able to patrol the areas we were not able to get there before. something the previous administration didn't allow us to do, they literally rolled out the red carpet and said come on in. catch and release. all of that is over now. our agents actually get to protect the border now. >> john: huge change. >> big time. it's great. >> jacqui: where do you see this going over time? does it get worse or better as far as a cartel response goes, and is there anything the administration is considering doing, leveraging as a weapon? we know obviously they have designated these cartels foreign terrorist organizations which offensively give them some leeway to take legal action against them. >> i think if you look at what president trump has said and what he has done, the strength and power of the presidency with donald trump in their speaks for itself, and i think a lot of

these cartel members are looking at this and they are saying hey, you know what, we don't want to cross that. we don't want to cross president trump. four years they got away with doing whatever they wanted on the border because it was completely unsecured. now they are realizing it looks like they are in for the long haul because they brought the u.s. military so they have to think to themselves these guys aren't going anywhere. >> john: there is talk president trump may reinitiate and expand these travel bands because he said there were so many country in this world where we cannot adequately vet visitors to united states. you have border patrol working at the airports and things like that, good idea? >> until we can get control of everybody we have here and remove them i think it is a great idea. >> john: paul come always great to see you antics for dropping by.ial we will be back right after t this. parents and caretakers, believers and breadwinners.

>> things change, don't they appear ontario premier doug ford up in canada has decided he won't tax the united states residents and electrical users 25%. we had a conversation with our secretary howard lutnick and decided it would be in the best interest of both countries not to do that. we will keep following that giving more information as we get it. meantime, norad scrambling

fighter jets to escort civilian planes out of the restricted airspace over maralago. the organization now sounding the alarm on quote excessive recent violations. live at palm beach international airport. this seems to be happening quite often. >> reporter: that's right, john. it's happened 24 times since the president's inauguration. this past weekend twice, ones on saturday and sunday a small recreational plane didn't realize it was flying into restricted airspace, officials say the president wasn't in danger but it is a lot of time, money and resources when something like this happens. when president trump visits here in palm beach the faa issue something called a temporary flight restriction with a 30 nautical mile radius. pilots must alert the faa if they want to travel within that space. but the inner circle on the map, includes maralago which is the most restricted airspace where most aircraft are banned from

flying. two different small planes this weekend got dangerously close to the winter white house which triggered norad to scramble a pair of air force fighter jets to escort them out of the area. >> it appears that most of the folks aren't talking to air traffic control and aren't on the emergency frequency. therefore it's just a blatant stumbling into that airspace. >> reporter: norad attribute the pilots to this mistake saying they are not checking the flight restrictions before they take off. avoidable. >> not like flying over washington, d.c. thank you. we will be right back after this.

>> final news, the house passed the rule allowing them to pass the bill to fund the government in about one hour from now. >> we will follow that. great to see you again. >> see you tomorrow. jackie heinrich. >> the story with martha
