asked tom homan whether they would expand that. he said, yes. they're expanding the aperture, and basically he said he wants all of the estimated 11 million immigrants who he said are in the country illegally to leave, and he has said, get out of here. get packing. i asked him, also, whether that meant people who have been here 30 years, who are making a living, who have lived their life here for all that time, and he said, if they are here illegally, they should leave, but to your point, whit, and gio, they have to have the money to do that. it would be almost impossible at this point to deport everybody. >> whit: he's making it clear this is just the beginning. that's for sure. martha, you also sat down with elon musk biographer walter isaacson. a fascinating read, by the way. but you're looking at the bond musk has with president trump. what did he say about this new chapter in musk's life? >> martha: he said, look, and i know you've read the book too.

it's a fascinating book. walter isaacson said, all you have to do is look at elon musk's background. he thinks that elon musk will stay with president trump, be very loyal to president trump for about a year, when he wants to get things done and cut government waste, but the real fascinating part as you know too, whit, is really elon musk's background, and we really take a look at that growing up in his -- growing up in south africa. >> whit: and musk is not one to hold back his own opinions either. that's for sure. martha, thank you so much as always. we appreciate it. and again, tune into "this week" later this morning for more of martha's interview with president trump's border czar, tom homan. plus, senator elissa slotkin weighs in on the immigration actions and more from elon musk biographer walter isaacson giving an inside look at trump's relationship with the world's richest man. janai? >> janai: now to the next big battle for president trump. his nominee for national intelligence facing a senate hearing this week, tulsi

for a single filer. that's up $750. if you're married, filing jointly, the standard deduction has increased by $1,500. to $29,200. here's another way to lower your taxable income. you can still make a contribution to your traditional ira. you have until april 15th to do this. the cap for the 2024 tax year is up to $7,000. that is $500 more than the previous tax season, and for all you freelancers out there, you know i'm talking to you. if you made more than $5,000 last year through a third-party app like paypal, venmo, and there are others, you'll be receiving a 1099-k form. so you can pay taxes on that income. if you have a simple tax return, meaning you're not itemizing, there's a new way to file this year. the irs has expanded its direct file program. it's in 25 states now. it lets you file your federal tax return online directly with the irs for free, and as usual, guys, the sooner you file, the

faster you'll get that refund. >> gio: and the better you are at avoiding scams. >> good point. >> gio: if you get there faster, you beat them to it. thank you, alexis. great advice. time for the weather. somara theodore is here. what are you watching? >> somara: we are watching the radar, and we are happy to see rain in southern california finally it's raining. so showers have already begun. we anticipate the rain to pick up as we head through the overnight hours with this nice onshore flow here pushing scattered downpours through southern california, pacific palisades, los angeles, altadena. some snow in the higher elevation. the heaviest of the rain actually falling as we head through tonight. now this comes on the heels of an extreme drought in southern california. 0.3 inches of rain since june 1st, but, you know, not all things coming down. it can -- i'm sorry. not all things are good at one time. flood watches in places like santa clarita, and altadena, the fact there are burn scars. we have to watch for mud slides and debris flow. that's a look at the forecast across the country. let's see what's going on a little close

but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you. >> whit: we are back >> whit: we are back now on "gma" and counting down to the nfl conference championships. espn football analyst, our guy, coach herm edwards, is back with us. a preview of these explosive matchups. coach, welcome back because there's so much anticipation around these games. i want to start with the commanders at the eagles. everyone talking about your guy, rookie quarterback, jayden daniels, and you posted this picture on instagram. we want to show everybody this week. >> gio: that's a great picture.

>> whit: saying, the nfc championship means a little something different to you this year. your former team facing off against your former qb. so what does jayden need to do to lead washington to the first super bowl in 33 years, coach? >> well, obviously continue to do what he's done this season. when you think about it, he's -- he's the leading pass rusher, 3,500 yards passing, but also he's the leading rusher on his football team, believe it or not. he's a one-man band. he does it all. here's the problem. if you allow him to run the rpos, which he's very good at, he can either run it himself, give it to the running back or throw the football. that is a problem for defenses and they have to get that settled. make him beat you from the pocket. and brown he throws a nice ball. throws a great long ball. the eagles understand what they're up against, but remember this. the eagles have the number one defense in the national football league. >> janai: coach -- >> whit: you had to get that part in at the end there. >> janai: certainly did. you were showing all 32 of your teeth smiling all big in that picture. that was so sweet.

>> that was a winner. we won that game. >> janai: that was impressive. on the other side, you have running back saquon barkley who's been the driving force for the eagles this season, and should we be worried about jalen hurts and his injured left knee? >> well, i think it could be a blessing in disguise really for jalen hurts and the fact that now he has to play from the pocket, and he has to get the ball to a.j. brown, to goddard, goad to smith. he has to be more of a traditional quarterback. stay in the pocket and throw. you can't run the rpos because of his knee. that could benefit these guys tremendously. we know we're going to give it to saquon barkley, but i think jalen hurts now, he's going to win this game, he has to play well from the pocket. >> gio: let's talk about the other game. the bills travel to arrowhead stadium to take on the chiefs. the bills have lost three straight playoff games. to their afc nemesis. can josh allen turn this around? >> he can. he's been a one-man band. like jayden daniels. shakir is a security blanket when they've thrown the football. he's done everything. he's a runner, he's a passer and

his ability to throw the ball down the field is a concern for the kansas city chiefs, especially his ability to buy time in the pocket. very accurate down the field as you can see. they will have a chance, but here's their problem. can they stop number 87, kelce? right? if you can't stop him, it's over. that's exactly -- especially in the playoffs. 20 touchdowns in playoff competition. >> whit: so let's talk a little bit more about the chiefs there. they're going for this three-peat. patrick mahomes, some say maybe hasn't been at his best this season, but as a 49ers fan, sadly i know he shows up in the playoffs, right? so why is he made for these types of matches, coach? >> well, think about it this way. the whole season we have been talking about the chiefs, not being very productive on offense. they play in these one-score games. here's the problem. don't let them play in one-score games because they're 11-0, and they're playing one-possession

games so you better get a lead on these guys because if you continue -- if you fall into the trap of thinking, we're okay, we got a one-score lead, no. they beat you. that's what they do. so you got to get a lead on those guys because that -- there he is, 87. i guessed number 87. >> whit: yeah. the niners couldn't get quite enough of a lead twice. all right. >> janai: he can't stop with the niners. coach, when you're watching today, what will you be looking most forward to? >> just, you know, four great teams playing. when you think about what they all had to go through to get here, and some people don't realize that. i mean, you get to the championship game, you know, that is a fine accomplishment. now there's going to be two teams that lose, and then those other two will go to the super bowl, and i think sometimes we lose sight of that. how difficult it is, you know, it starts off with 32 teams and at the end, it ends up with four and then two. all these teams have had a successful year.

some of them will do like us, and they'll be watching the super bowl rather than playing in it. but that's just part of it. >> whit: that's the reality. >> gio: it is. coach herm edwards, we love you, my man. appreciate you. >> thank you. coming up on "good morning america," the diehard senior superfans cheering on their nfl teams for decades keeping their super bowl dreams alive. stick around. alive. stick around.
