i would reiterate what mollie said, it is time for congress to take back legislative authority to actually have the courage to legislate. they only by the reforms will become permanent and we will actually see real reform in breaking apart legislative state and restoring republic actually being successful deporting all 12 million illegals under biden is for congress to actually man up, step up to the plate, do the right thing and make the reforms done. until then short reforms. just be want the democrats come in and it is off to the races. by the way, they did unearth a video of trump driving. people say trump doesn't drive. this was 2014, he was driving -- they were listening to taylor swift, swift, ironically. shake it off! melania trump >> todd: a fox news alert. new 25% steel and aluminum tariffs go into effect overnight

sending shockwaves around the globe and putting pressure on other countries to come to the negotiating table. >> carley: person of interest named in disappearance of a missing college student in dominican republic. 92 video shows her last. >> todd: and steve witkoff expected to meet with vladamir putin with a ceasefire deal on the table for russia to sign as the trump team pushes peace initiatives abroad. you are watching "fox and friends first" on wednesday morning, i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. go straight to lucas tomlinson with more on the tariffs imposed while we were sleeping. >> lucas: if is official, tariff on steel and aluminum products go into effect today. 25% tariff that will create more jobs at home. european union announced

retaliatory and president trump says this is just beginning and good increase. >> president trump: they don't want to pay 25% or whatever. it could go higher. more likely they will build. biggest wins not the tariff, that's a big win, a lot of money. biggest win if they move to our country and produce. that is bigger win than the tariffs >> >> lucas: howard will you tell us lutnick will meet with -- ford apologized after suspending electricity after trump threatened additional tariffs on canadian aluminum and steel. here is lutnick ahead of the meeting. >> i thought this was the right decision, they understand how serious we are. we have both agreed let cooler heads prevail. we need to sit down and move this forward. >> when you negotiating with

someone and they are not paying attention, the presidents, best deal maker to sit in the chair, will say, here is my response. all of a sudden, shockingly they respond. >> lucas: today president trump will meetireland's president. the irish government has been a fierce critic of israel and led court case against prime minister netanyahu leading the israeli government to close embassy in dublin. maybe keep that body language expert around for this meeting in the oval office. >> carley: could be beneficial. lucas tomlinson, thank you so w much >> todd: bring in fox news contributor liz peek. foreign leaders talk tough and wave their fist in the air and say we're coming after america. they cave to trump in the end, like mere hours after they stuck their chest out and gotten brave.

isn't that proof that the trump tariff will work to achieve his foreign policy goals? >> it is proof we have an unbalanced trade deficit, have been in that situation for a very long time. that is one thing trump is hoping to rectify. we're paying, we're getting 90 billion a year in tariffs and pays hundreds of billions to other countries. he wants to level the playing field. that is a big part of it and he'll continue for that reason. he wants revenues, he wants to lower taxes and spur manufacturing coming home. here is the thing that nobody is talking about. in the past, this would have been an impossible quest, manufacturing gone down for 22 months in a row up until trump was elected and it began to inch higher. why have we lost so many manufacturing jobs? partly because labor rates are

so high compared to mexico and china. there is reason american corporations sent jobs overseas, it is not just tariffs, which are certainly not helping. what is happening with ai and tremendous explosion in technology, we'll be making more here in the united states at lower costs. i think that is tremendous pivotal element in this argument no one is talking about and they should be. when you are manufacturing cars or widgets or washing machines, boy, does ai help bring down the number of employees, not great for workers, even so we will be adding jobs, just not as many per unit of output as we used to. >> carley: 25% tariff went into effect on steel and aluminum not just with canada, with all trading partners. people hear that, they say prices are going up, what will impact of that be? >> it could be, as trump acknowledged, there will be

minor inflationary aspect. he's doing short-term pain for long-term gain. one of the most powerful things he said recently, we're working in this country quarter to quarter. if you have talked to a chinese businessman, they look 100 years ahead. wall street says this is terrible, we have to have a long-term view. we are taking a long-term view and they are going nuts. there may be a bump up in inflation, i think over the next year, we'll see trade deals, for example, we should have a trade deal with the uk. there is no reason why they should be tariffing our products and we should be tariffing theirs. that seems like a layup. hope over the next year, we'll negotiate down tariffs in return for better treatment for u.s. companies. >> carley: usmca announced deal, it will be renegotiated.

>> it was scheduled to be. >> carley: that could lead to stability here. >> absolutely. if we begin to, for example, attack tariffs that canada still puts even with the usmca on american goods that should be positive going forward. >> todd: glad you mentioned markets and the short-term view we take in the united states. ceos are under pressure basically daily. if the stock dips, oh, that ceo, are they doing a good job in that has created unfortunate situation for the market, it is basically day trading and you can't have that. will the markets realize what trump is doing with tariffs or will the sell-off continue because they can't deal with short-term uncertainty? >> the sell-off will not continue long, our economy is in very good shape, corporate earnings are in good shape. ceos came into this year and as of a month into the year, they were the most confident they have been in three years.

why? because they believe in trump's deregulation and know he will work hard and know ares are on the hook to lower corporate taxes and that is in the cards. after four years of biden white house, you had tsunami of new rules and regulation all by auto pen, i think this is a welcome turnaround. i think markets will get used to this. there is good news, we may have a ceasefire in ukraine, that has to be positive for our market and for europe. ha that is a big deal for everybody. we'll see what cpi looks like. energy prices are down, gasoline 9% versus last year, that is pretty powerful and egg prices are coming down. >> carley: president did his part by buying that red tesla outside the white house

yesterday. >> when the market is crashing, i go out and buy. terrible impulse, i hope everybody does this. >> carley: i knew i liked you, liz. folk trump-backed bill to fund government through september heading to senate after passing the house in 217-213 vote, slashing nondefense spending by 13 million and boosting defense spending by 6 million. >> this was a big vote on the house floor. republicans stood together and we had one democrat vote with us to do the right thing, to fund the government. clean cr freezes government, responsible thing to do. >> todd: this is major victory for house speaker mike johnson who will join "fox and friends" later this morning. education department will terminate half their workforce as trump administration looks to send power back to states when it comes to education. education secretary linda

mcmahon speaking with laura ingraham about the move. >> i got to the department of education, the president said i need a leader in the department. when i got there and said we have to identify where bloat and bureaucracy is and we're going to start there. the programs, so many programs are excellent. we need to make sure that money does get to states, we want more money to go to states. >> todd: impacted department staff will be placed on leave as soon as this friday. linda mcmahon says they will work with congress to evenually shut down the department. >> carley: to nantucket, two illegal migrants arrested in a joint operation, including one previously charged with kidnapping, domestic assault and battery. coast guard assisted in the arrest. officials will work with immigration enforcement efforts. one democrat has explanation for

>> carley: newly released surveillance video shows moments before sudiksha konanki went missing. authorities in virginia confirmed 24-year-old joshua ribe, guest staying at the same resort as a person of interest. body language expert susan constantine joins me now to break down the newly released footage. so sad to see that video of her seemingly having friends knowing she will go missing. this video is hard to see, it is not the clearest video. is there anything in it that stands out to you? >> well, first of all, there is a longer video, i'd like to talk about it in the whole capacity. they have been drinking, you can see she's somewhat intoxicated,

in some photos, she was weaving around. the fact he had his left arm underneath her armpit like close to her private area, her breast. that appeared as if he were almost groping her. i understand he's a taller guy, drinking a lot, motor movements are probably not fluid as they normally. she looks like she's having a great time, looks like couples and kids going out and drinking and partying. sometimes that can lead to dangerous activity. >> carley: yesterday louden county sheriff office named joshua ribe, as a person of interest, not a suspect, in her disappearance and released a statement saying mr. ribe is a

person of interest. this is still a missing person case, not a criminal case. sheriff chapman want to make sure the investigation is comprehensive and including all possible techniques, and are working close with the fbi and dominican national police. there are images that you have viewed of this 24-year-old joshua ribe, speaking to law enforcement on the beach. what do you think of those images? >> the images i saw, when talking about body language, that is one piece, we're missing facial expression, voice inflection and tonality and words. all we're looking is body language, right? he's in a submissive, his body language, hands down, not resisting anything the police officers are asking him. he's compliant.

however, the fact he's collapsed his body shows he may be feeling a bit threatened. that would be considered normal under that circumstance. there is another photo, where he's walking and when he's walking away from the beach, he has one hand placed inside his pocket. that was concerning to me, not a normal stride, that someone would have, especially walking down a corridor. their hands swing from one side to the other. what is he concealing in his pocket? >> carley: we don't know what happened here. they are young, on vacation, on spring break, two people, the missing girl and joshua could have been drinking, gone to the beach. he could have fallen asleep on the beach and not know anything and louden county addressed theory she drown. we have heard this and have no evidence presented at this time. what do you think happened here? >> i think i'm really fearful

that we're looking at another joran van der sloot case with missing woman, natalee holloway, repeat of the same i think this. why would two people go out into shark-infested water late at night? does not make logical sense. he falls asleep, that is suspect behavior, that is why he's a person of interest. until they rule that out, he will remain there until they have answers. >> carley: so sad, we're praying for her and her family. obviously beside themselves in the dominican republic looking for answers. susan, thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it very much. >> my pleasure. senior meteorologist janice dean has fox weather forecast. good morning. >> janice: several days worth of severe weather. it starts today across central and southern plains and we ramp

things up getting into latter part of this week and into the weekend. small bullseye for arkalatex area. next big storm system moves into west and atmospheric river setting up for california, including southern california. they need the rain, too much rain over burn scars is going to cause concern for flash flooding and maybe mudslides and rock slides. this area of low pressure will give days of severe weather. put snow and blizzard conditions over parts of rockies to upper midwest and great lakes region. this is saturday and along that cold front, ahead of very warm air for this time of year, we're going to see clash of two air masses and that will last through sunday, affecting the east coast and i-95 corridor. you could see potential for hail, damaging wind and isolated tornados.

here is the risk, especially friday. we have small risk today, friday, saturday and sunday, biggest impact. here is today's storm system. we could see potential for stronger storms this afternoon in toward thursday, primarily hail and damaging wind is in advance of our next storm coming friday, saturday, and sunday. speaking of temperatures like spring setup, we have temperatures in 80s and high 70s for today and that cold front will interact with unstable air. want to point your attention to california, where they are looking forward to some rainfall. again, too much rain in some areas that have been parched and affected by burns is where flash flooding and potential mudslide potential will set up. severe threat, big deal, foxweather.com, have a way to get watches and warnings. >> todd: thank you. vladamir putin expected to meet with special envoy steve witkoff

difference between last visit at the oval office, that is a total ceasefire. ukraine has agreed to it and hopefully russia will agree to it. i think the ceasefire is very important. if we can get russia to do it, great. if we can't, we keep going on and people will get killed. lots of people. >> todd: dan hofman joins me now. big picture, before we get into the specifics, is this a good deal? >> dan: it's a great deal, a great start to a potential deal with a ceasefire there. it's a diplomatic probe and a very public one, where the united states has gotten ukraine to agree to ceasefire without any preconditions, without any security guarantees that president zelenskyy had wanted and we'll see what russia chooses to do. >> todd: you were former cia chief in moscow, you understand

vladamir putin, how do you expect him to respond to this deal? >> dan: i would note director john ratcliffe reengaged with -- they v not had working level contact in some time. that will help inform united states of russia plans and tensions. vladamir putin wants to annex four provences, where fighting is ongoing. he will want to limit foreign troops deployed to ukraine after a settlement to this war and doesn't want ukraine to join this post-conflict deal. ukraine wants security guarantee. question for russia, do they want a pause in fighting, would they agree to a ceasefire? if past is prologue, they won't, they have broken ceasefires in 2019. this time might be different. putin suffered casualties to

forces and they may need a break. >> todd: just hours after we found out about the ceasefire deal, putin hit kyiv with airstrikes. the war is ongoing. how should donald trump turn the screws to putin to get him to sign this thing. >> dan: right. russia could have stopped the war any time, they were the aggressor and their objective was to topple the government in kyiv and install their own regime. the president is right in saying this is your last best chance or we will increase support to ukraine. the president was clear about that. it will have to be support on the battlefield with more weapons and intelligence sharing to drive home the point to putin, there is no point in continuing the war. we'll see how putin responds. >> todd: witkoff will be in dodoh

today and meet with the qatari prime minister. do you expect anything significant to come out of this meeting? emzoos like we have meetings and more meetings and nothing significant happens. you have hostages release here or there, we are still ongoing with the war and don't have any clear indication it will end tomorrow, let's say. what do you think comes out of this? >> dan: yeah, israel has not achieved their strategic objective, which was destroy hamas. there are still hamas fighters in gaza and looming over any continuation of a ceasefire is this idea of post-conflict reconstruction in gaza and what happens to hamas. i think that is the issue that is entractable for israel and for the united states. you have 2 million palestinians, healthy number of them are jihad

and militants. how do we reconstruct gaza? what sort of peace deal do we get? that is the challenge now. right now, best you can hope for is telephonation of ceasefire and perhaps release of american hostages still alive and bodies of those who are not. >> todd: complicated foreign policy picture, thank you for helping us make sense of it. dan hofman. hear about this, court hearing set for columbia grad facing deportation after leading anti-israel protest. >> carley: we'll ask a student what punishment fits the crime and if they feel safe on campus, next.

encampment and was negotiating between the protesters and administration, trying to get administration to divest from israel and he was, is associated with group that people have characterized as pro-hamas, they have endorsed hamas, endorsed armed resistance and said they want to fight for eradication of western civilization, their words, not mine. this is clearly someone who is on the more radical side of protests. >> carley: yesterday there were several protests across the country demanding he stay in the united states. so some people are turning this guy into a martyr, is that something that concerns you? >> i think that the common sense is on the side of the trump administration here. look, people look at what is

happening at columbia and see radicalization and see institutions are so far apart from the average american and what people expect of the nation and world's finest universities and colleges. instead of education and research, they are seeing sit-ins and protests and anti-semitism and endorsement of terrorism. it should be honor and privilege to come to the united states and study on a visa to get a green card. in order to do that, you should have to demonstrate some level of respect for our values. not endorse terrorism at a very baseline. this case sends strong signal to people looking to come to the u.s. >> carley: trump administration pulled federal funding, how will that impact columbia? >> started receiving notice that projects and grants are being

cut. they are starting to raise issue with the administration. i think this strategy of just blanket targeting columbia with grants, it is crude and affects researchers who are not involved with the protest at all, it is causing them to pressure the administration to take a stronger stance against lawless protest. >> carley: thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. now to brian kilmeade who will look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> brian: what is going on? we have a packed show on wednesday for "fox and friends." i'm just getting started. i start upstairs and work downstairs, more of that on social media. tariffs going into effect, markets go up and down. you know who is not going crazy? president of the united states, he knows what he's doing. how does elise stefanik stephen moore feel about it and jackie deangelis.

for americans. so we have got to get the budget done and move on to trump's agenda. all the savings and things we are seeing from elon musk doge project will not come to fruition if we don't get it done by budget 25 and get to the budget for 26. so, these are all critically important. and i think the senate realizes that i'm sure it's not going to be an easy process. i'm sure there is going to be some back and forth. we do have a few more days before a potential government shutdown. >> todd: we have until friday, the 14th. so we will be watching. >> yes. >> todd: it's less than 48 hours. michigan senator elissa slotkin facing backlash for comments she made about the brains of trump voters. where else but on "the view." listen to this. >> we're about to turn 250 years old. right? , we're still pretty young for a country. these are like our angry teenage years, right? we are going through this push and pull where we are happy, we're sad. we want this, we want that. and what do you do when you have

a teenager who is threatening themselves and others, you just try to get them through this period alive so that their brain can fully form and come back to what the country. >> trump? >> no, i'm talking about our country. >> so we got deplorables. we got garbage and now we have stupid teenagers. the democrats sure have a unique way of trying win over voters, don't they, congresswoman? >> well, yeah. this is colossal arrogance expressed by her which i'm surprised by because she won a very narrow margin tough race in michigan. people are looking for everything that they have always -- they have asked for cuts, presidents, including democrat presidents in the past have made cuts to government. we have had to lower taxes. president reagan lowered taxes. we have had to come up with way to find solutions especially facing the threats that we face. the democrats' colossally bad policies, the green new deal type policies that came in through the so-called inflation reduction act which by the way the democrats described that as the biggest green bill that's

ever been passed even though it was supposed to reduce inflation. it didn't. it increased inflation by a total of $1 trillion in some estimates. so now the american people want results. president trump promised results and on day one and it's hard to believe it's only been six or seven weeks. but so much is getting accomplished. so much is done. look at the border. the measures, that was the number one issue in my district. i have a border district, of course. but, look at the border. the border crossings are down from 160, 80, thousand dollars a month in the month of february for every preceding february to 8,000 just because president trump is in office? that's the kind of results the american people are looking for. and what does that do? that helps americans save money. we're spending billions, hundreds of billions of dollars for illegal immigrants for every amenity they get over our veterans and people truly needy. what are we getting for it. the border is critically important. cutting taxes, unleashing american energy. trump is on the path to doing that.

you know, it's a tough road to change habits. so i think the democrats are really the people that are acting like teenagers, screaming and carrying on. you saw the horrible situation with, you know, representative al green who shook his cane by the way a person with a cane why are they shaking it in the air? they don't really need a cane. he was shaking his cane in the air. holding up signs mocking americans, mocking the republicans. sewing no interest in actually working with us on the agenda that the american people voted for. >> todd: right. >> those are the people truly acting like unruly teenagers. >> todd: i can't imagine the democrats keep thinking call out the american people great idea. it hasn't worked in any election so far. they keep doing it maybe because they believe it. colleagues introducing a bill to prevent china from controlling america's food supply chain. china controls over 90% of the vitamins used in animal food including c and b 6. how vital is a bill like this to not only our food supply but

also national security, about 30 seconds to you, congresswoman? >> absolutely. this is a great bill by ashley henson. tremendous representative from iowa. really important we bring our supply chains back in every way we can i have a bill called the pills act which does a similar thing. brings our supply chains back. vital vitamins and medicines that we make should be made in country with all of the provisions that we have, the labor standards, the fda, all the standard we have to make these things excellent, safe for american citizens. we aren't getting that kind of oversight and security when they're produced in places like china. >> todd: right. it creates a situation where if they want to turn the screws on us, they can. and that puts us in a horrible situation when it comes to negotiating. congresswoman claudia tenney we appreciate it? >> thank you so much. >> todd: carley, don't forget to set your dvr 5:00 a.m. every morning so you don't miss a minute of "fox & friends first." >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now
