tensions mount between israel and the u.s. as the trump administration defends direct talks with hamas. we will talk to trump hostage on meeting with le thomas leadership. not standing up for women's sports to not standing up for the women's address. are democrats out of step with americans? our sunday panel and how the trump tariffs are shaking up the markets all right now on fox news sunday. ♪ ♪ >> hello from fox news in washington. remember to spring your clocks forward for daylight savings time. we made it. let's look at the headlines. new york governor declaring a state of emergency for areas of long island dealing with wildfires that have forced evacuations. firefighters have contained three of the four major fires but today they will be battling hi winds. pope francis is in stable condition, a quiet night resting as he struggles to recover from double pneumonia.

the 88-year-old pontiff released an audio message earlier in the week thanking the faithful for their prayers. israel has accepted an invitation to send a delegation to meet with hamas and qatar tomorrow to work on the second phase of cease-fire negotiations. in a moment we will talk the trump administration's hostage envoy who has been working intensely to advance those talks. first, we turn to fox news correspondent alex hogan on the ground in israel. hello. >> reporter: hi, shannon. u.s. officials will reportedly join negotiations in doha this week and comes as hamas says they are ready to continue negotiations for a second stage in the cease-fire. israel says it supports the plan brought forward by the u.s. that would call on hamas to hand over half of the 59 hostages now and the other half one a permanent cease-fire is reached. hamas has said that they would instead stick with the agreement signed in january although president trump gave what he called a final warning posting online on thursday quote,

release all the hostages now, not later and immediately return all the dead bodies to the people you murdered or it is over for you. also new tension over what comes after the war. european leaders are now voicing support for the gaza reconstruction plan. this would cost $53 billion and would avoid displacing palestinians. israel and the u.s. argue this trip is uninhabitable. this weekend the backer of hamas iran is responding to president trump's letter demanding nuclear talks. the leaders scoffed at the idea arguing is only a means for washington to place new limits on tehran's military. their aim is to exert dominance and impose what they want. russia this week offered to participate in nuclear talks between the u.s. and i run at the same time moscow continued to carry out attacks in ukraine killing more than 20 people on saturday according to the ukrainian government.

it comes as a white house pause military shipments to ukraine as well as intelligence and satellite image sharing. volodymry zelenskyy's says his team has held repeated calls with the u.s. on various levels. >> the focus is clear, piece as soon as possible. security as reliably as possible. >> reporter: he will travel to saudi arabia for a meeting with the crown prince ahead of the country hosting u.s., ukrainian talks. back here in the middle east, israel has paused the aid shipments into gaza until a cease-fire is reached and that is causing more food shortages for the 2 million who cannot lead. >> alex reporting from israel. thank you. joining us now, special presidential envoy adam, thank you for joining us on fox news sunday. we will start here with a report

out of channel 12 in israel citing an israeli sourcing the u.s. and hamas talks have failed. fact or fiction? where can you give us an update this morning? >> i actually think they were very productive talks. they identified some opportunity to come together because we are always asking, israel, hamas, how will it win and what does it look afterwards? they provided some very interesting views in the discussions. >> that can lead you to a release or an impasse? >> really my goal is to release prisoners. i focused on our alive american and are 4 dead americans. getting them home as soon as possible and how important that was to the president. but we also discussed with the end might look like and i will tell you that hamas did orient towards a long-term truce as they called it. a truce where they could be disarmed and not part of the

political policy and a truce where we would ensure that they are in a place where they can't hurt israel. part of that was rebuilding gaza but the discussions revolved around a few things that i think might actually end up being a some of what you see posts steve will cough. >> how hard is it to sit down with an organization who murder people. the most recent example, the children, four years old, nine months old. do you worry that having direct conversations with them gives this group any kind of legitimacy on the world stage. >> it is hard. i listen to the family stories and i hug the families only bring them home. which is unbelievable and i know exactly what happens so you walk into there and you have to block it out emotionally because as much as someone might smile or give me a coffee as we talk,

that doesn't mean they didn't do what they do. my belief then is dialog is very important. i follow the president of the united states. everyone said he couldn't go to north korea. he sits with north korea and have real discussions. dialog does not mean giving things. dialog doesn't mean giving millions or billions of dollars like the prior administration did. dialog means sitting and hearing what someone wants and then identifying does it fit with what we want or not. how can you get somewhere in the middle and not have a war and that dialog is important to the president because as he constantly says he doesn't want war. war is a last resort. he wants a peaceful world and what i'm trying to do is say and how can i get are hostages out soon as possible? i feel every single day and how do you create the circumstances to stop this work we. >> lots of widespread reporting that israel did not like having

direct talks with hamas and that they in fact found out once it was underway or had happened, you got a call from ron, the head of strategic affairs, it was described as a heated phone call and only you can tell us what actually happened on the call. why did the u.s. move ahead with these direct talks knowing israel had objectives. where did you see the relationship is now post the phone call? >> i would say that the israelis were kept informed. i did have a discussion with ron. he raised some concerns and quite frankly it's totally fair for israel to have concerns if we are having direct conversations with hamas. for all he knows maybe he would say they seem like nice guys. there was concern and i think i was able to put him at ease. that i wasn't going to go off the rails and that it would be parameters that we would work on together. i thought that step was natural and no question in my mind that our greatest ally.

>> one of israel's opposition points to the direct talks was it's concerned that the u.s. might lose interest in securing a broad hostage cease-fire deal once all american hostages are released. can you speak to that concern? is that something you discussed? >> let me tell you something. not that. i discuss that with the president and the president has been very clear that all hostages and i will say when you think about my job, my job is to get all hostages home because the job was given to me by the president and i take my orders of from the president of the united states. when you think about the american that was there and the bodies that are there, that was a pretense to bring everybody home. there wasn't a one-off where than the united states, we care way too much about the region. if you see the survivors that went and saw the president in the oval office, that was a group of americans but a group of full israelis so we have made

that commitment and israel is a strong ally. if someone wants to take hostages in israel we feel it too. >> the president put up a stark warning on social media with regard to hamas and getting them out. turn them over or it's immediately over for you. if you don't turn over the hostages you are dead. release the hostages now or there will be hell to pay later. what is the deadline and what is the hill to pay? >> he didn't set a deadline but let me look. i remember a week ago i was in baghdad and there's a little mark right where a car with an iraqi in it, right where it was hit by 2 missiles and there is a spot, we all got out to look at it and i remember the day he did it. i happen to be in the west wing but it was surprising. no one else would do it because they were afraid and this is what i will say.

it may seem like he makes empty threats until he carries out the threat. then it's not so empty and then your dead. i think in these situations and he's done the same thing with iran. they are walking a line on iran because it's not so hard for us to partner with israel and take out that nuclear capability which we probably should do. >> several examples, the president's actions come to mind. adam, thank you for your time. no the prayers of folks around the world there with you and this work. thank you. >> thank you. >> time for our sunday group, editor and chief of jewish insider. former special assistant and director of message planning megan hayes. townhall.com political editor and host of the show on fox news radio and the ronald reagan institute director. welcome to all of you. i want to start here back in the u.s. with all this playing out in the middle east. these are some of the scenes we saw at a number of college campuses this week.

a security guard hospitalized, thousands of dollars of damage. students harassed by people refusing to let them attend their classes. a number of federal agencies under the trump administration now say that they are canceling $400 million of federal grants, that is just at columbia university saying this, due to the continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of jewish students additional cancelations are expected to follow. josh, are you surprised by any of this behavior that it continues or that universities haven't done a better job? >> not surprised. we've seen anti-semitism on college campuses rise over the last two years and it was only from selection that spurred a lot of these administrators to do something about it. apparently wasn't enough at columbia university. you saw an israeli studies class be disrupted by pro-hamas activists. you see these buildings being taken over and administrators indulging in some of the most radical extremist actors on campus and that is what is going

on here. the administration is now threatening or taking steps to withhold grants and a significant amount of money to these universities that will really hurt the campus ability to fund research and do productive things because they weren't able to crack down on extremists and bad actors. >> columbia has a row sponsor, we take our legal obligation seriously and we understand how serious this announcement is and are committed to anti-semitism and ensuring the safety of our students and staff. good enough? >> no. this is way overdue. of course with an explanation point that we will go ahead as a government, as a federal government and throw the book at these universities. they are violating the law. based in a violation of the civil rights act. it is against the law to engage in anti-semitism. this is something that the bind administration did not enforce and it's way overdue whether it's on the basis of removing visas from foreign students or

if it's the grants but these sorts of things are steps that outsiders are taking. it should be happening from within the universities, they haven't done it. inmates running the asylum. the problem is not just the students but the faculty too. i had a conversation with the president of a university played with these issues. this president told me that 20 to 30% of the faculty use their classrooms as a form to spew hatred. the balanced our silence, the faculty's silence. they can't teach students are engage in dialog and discussion of ideas rather it's the hatred that seems to be something these teachers and faculty are pushing. we won't solve the problem until we do that. >> now that we are finding out at least one person's visa has been revoked because of their involvement. it sounds like signaling from secretary rubio there is more to come. >> absolutely. part of being an american is being able to protest

peacefully. not at the expense of all of the other students on campus. like you are saying about faculty, they have a widespread problem of posting things on official websites. that is a problem and not free speech. you worked for the university, you are there to educate people. i don't actually disagree with the government withholding funding here. people have a right to protest and they can do that peacefully. these are not peaceful actors here. >> revoking some of the students visas, the antidiscrimination committee says this should concern all americans. this is a first amendment and freedom of speech issue and the administration will -- [inaudible] >> if you are a guest in this country with a student visa and you come here and you break the law and you harassed the jewish and you show support for a terrorist organization you should not be in this country. secretary rubio said it during his confirmation hearing. if they were applying to get in

and we knew that they loved hamas we wouldn't let them in so if they come here and manifest their support for hamas at the expense of jewish students in this giant rolling civil rights violation, the absolute least the government can do is take the worst actors who break the law and throw them out of the country and that is a base test of seriousness as a society and a civilization and i'm glad we are finally seeing some of it and quickly that statement from columbia with all due respect to the university, nonsense. we take this all very seriously. no they don't. that has been abundantly clear for a year and a half and maybe they will start to take it actually seriously because there are consequences coming their way. >> one thing the panel all agree down. something they may not agree on his tariffs issues. back-and-forth about what's in and what's out and kevin with the national economic council said the reason they've lifted is because they've made progress

on this issue of fentanyl. china hasn't and that's why they will continue to give them the heaviest burden. who knows what happens april 2nd. >> president trump loves tariffs and makes no secret of that and emphasizes that in his joint session but i think kevin hassett is making a point that americans can understand, even larry. it's increasingly explained as a proxy for security issues. fentanyl is one. with china is fentanyl but a broader concern that president trump led on his first it administration which is china is the predominant military threat to the united states. on the night that president trump gave his joint session to congress, china announced a 7.5% increase in military spending. president trump only mention china with respect to tariffs so as we look at what president trump is doing with the tariffs, yes economic peace, this pushing of canada and mexico, a lot of conservatives,

concern about why are we doing this for our allies? let's focus on our adversaries. i see this as the most forward thing president trump is doing to pressure president xi on the security front. >> i want to get your comment before we go because we have people like senator kennedy saying he's worried about the tariffs because what people can't sleep about is how to pay bills and they worry this will have a negative impact. >> there are higher prices, part of the reason why he won the election because of high prices for four years under joe biden with inflation so you are seeing a lot of uncertainty both over on capitol hill. will the republicans prevent this 4 trillion-dollar tax increase at the end of the year? and this on-again off-again pause for a month chaos when it comes to tariffs. people are jittery about that and many voters are saying can we go back to the 2019 trump economy. that's what laws are hoping to see was some stability here. >> he says that is where we are going and we have a plan. we will see later in this hour but democrats making headlines

for all the wrong reasons falling president trump's joint address to congress. congressman, one of the fuse standing and applauding a time so what is his advice to the rest of his party? he joins us live. later chairman lindsey graham is here to talk funding the government with the friday deadline looming how close are we to a government shutdown? ♪ ♪ (vo) a law partner rediscovers her grandmother's artistry and establishes a charitable trust to keep the craft alive for generations to come. from preserving a cultural tradition to leaving a legacy, a raymond james financial advisor gets to know you, your passions, and the way you enrich your community. that's life well planned.

>> shannon: president trump's command of the political debate has democrats struggling with how to respond and connect with everyday americans. in a moment we will talk to the democratic congressman but first micah takes a look at how democrats went viral this week and not in the way they had planned. >> reporter: there are a number of examples of why critics suggest it's been a rough week for democrats. it was clear during the president joint address that democrats were determined they would not cheer anything including a young man who's late father, a veteran and police officer had inspired him to serve. president trump announced he would achieve his dream attending west point. they also didn't share the 13-year-old boy with brain cancer who always wanted to be a police officer and the president announced he would be an honorary secret service agent. >> i don't know why we can't fully celebrate. i have a 13-year-old myself and

thank god she's never had cancer but i think that is something we can all celebrate. it was a touching moment. >> reporter: al green was tossed out of the president's address for heckling the president. even some of his liberal colleagues questioned greens behaviors. >> lots of people would feel congressman greene went too far and he was removed for it. in other news there was a minor disruption and he was removed. >> he was censured by the house including ten democrats. >> reporter: they prompted republicans to vow to strip them of their committee assignments. there was also democrats going viral for this choose your fighter video featuring house progressives looking like they are ready to fight. it was widely panned leading to criticism that democrats are

struggling to shape their own narrative. >> shannon: thank you. joining me now, serving on the house oversight committee. welcome to fox news sunday congressman. you had some tough talk for your party postelection. about how they floundered. where they failed to connect with the american people and based on the events of this week do feel like they are listening to what you are telling them? >> shannon, showing all our hits for the week. that was not a good look. we should have stood for the boy with cancer. you stand for the president of the united states out of respect for the american people. i agree with senator federman that it's really about showing our hearts. you stand for the widow of the firefighter. here's what happens. the story should have been on president trump. he's talking about a balanced budget, the house republican budget is adding 2.8 trillion to the deficit. talking about medicaid cuts instead we are talking about our

own behavior and that's a distraction from us getting out our economic message. >> shannon: we can debate the budget but president trump continues to say no cuts to medicaid. it's up to the parties, lawmakers on the hill, your call is to figure that out but i want to get back to this. a writer it says that your party is missing an opportunity. here's a headline. democrats wasting a populous moment. they learned nothing from the election. thanks to their uncritical defense of all things branded woke, democrats are now viewed by working-class voters of all races as litigious, censorious and elitist. is there an internal perception with the self perception? that is how many now view them. >> i think we have to make sure that we are patriots and convey that we love this country. it's the greatest country. we understand that the working-class and middle-class got shafted in america because of corporate offshore and because industry is left and we are the party that will make us a manufacturing superpower again and we will stand up for

medicaid and health insurance. we are the party for raising wages. and we half to lead with the economic message and that is something that the party is realizing, there are people like chris, haley stevens, pat ryan, who are pushing the party in that direction. we have a group called the economic patriots in the house. a group of across the ideological spectrum. >> i did see you stand up and applaud at times. you were kind of the only person on that side of the room in many cases. was there a discussion amongst democrats before or after about how you were going to react and how that reaction was received? >> shannon, there was lots of discussion. a few of us said that we should be respectful because it's about the institutions of american democracy. i want the republicans to stand when we have a democratic president and we will. the parties go back and forth in

this country. what i don't want, can you imagine if we continue down this line that when we have a democratic president, what if the republicans say they don't attend? and then vice versa. the country needs to focus on our common goals and the challenges with china and i just hope we learn from this. the next time we do have an escort committee we stand up respectfully when the president comes in. you can vigourously disagree as i do but still respect some of the institutions of our country and some of our traditions. >> shannon: do you think congressman all green respectfully disagreed or disrespectfully disagreed. were his actions appropriate? why didn't you vote to censure him? >> i agree with the congressman, he shouldn't have disrupted. he was asked to leave, that was appropriate and i felt that was the appropriate consequence that

he had to leave on national television from the chamber. i didn't vote to censure him because he didn't engage in violence or something that was -- he left. he was asked to leave and he left. that was the consequence and he did that and i am ultimately a supporter of free speech so he was asked to leave because he was disorderly but he had speech and that should not be censured in terms of free speech of the country. >> shannon: talking about an issue that your party has had some internal and public conversations about. this week your governor kevin newsome has a new podcast. he said he thinks it's deeply unfair to allow transgender athletes to play at female college and you sports. rachel writes this, why the hill hasn't taken this long for a high-profile democrat to say what most people in the country are thinking? a january poll found 79% of the public believe transgender

athletes should not play in women's sports including a whopping 67% of democrats. a post that you made on x sounds like you might disagree with where governor newsome is on this. you've urged your party to get more aligned with america and where they are on the issue so what about this one? >> i'm always a straight shooter. i will tell you where i stand. many of your viewers will disagree but i was perplexed by the governor because he supported, governor newsome supported along with jerry brown in 2013 it's been on the books for ten years and that law says that transgender kids do get to participate in sports. k-12. and we have a california intercollegiate federation that sets the standards to balance the inclusion of transgender kids with fairness and safety. i didn't understand what the governor was saying in for a decade he supported this. is he saying we need to repeal that law?

i believe that that law has worked in california and i don't think there should be a federal ban and we should have the state athletic associations like california intercollegiate federation set the standard so that you balance inclusion with fairness and safety. >> shannon: that is a political evolution lots of folks are having these days. we will follow that with your party more broadly. thank you for your time. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: russia stepped up attacks on ukraine after the u.s. pauses aid and intelligence information to the embattled country. lindsey graham joins us on that and rising tensions between the u.s. and iran this weekend. he is live, max. >> president donald trump: we will unleash the power of education and we will find the cures to cancer, alzheimer's disease and many other diseases.

concerned are you about the long-term impacts of the pause? >> i talked to them a few weeks ago. goal is to end it honorably unjustly. zelenskyy you blew it in the white house and we've been working on this minerals deal for a very long time but we are where we are. i am worried about cutting off intelligence and weapons to ukraine as long as the fighting is going on. if we pull the plug on ukraine it would be worse than afghanistan. i don't think president trump has any desire to do that. until we have a cease-fire i would give ukraine what they need and in terms of intelligence and weapons to defend themselves. in terms of russia i will be introducing sanctions on their banking sector and on their energy sector next week urging them to get to the table. if they don't engage in cease-fire he stalks with the administration we should sanction the hell out of them. >> shannon: we will be tracking that. in the meantime you mention the rare earth minerals deal that has been stalled after the disastrous meeting at the

white house last week. >> disastrous. >> shannon: you were one of the folks who met with president zelenskyy before he went there. senator chris van hollen was as well and was with me on the show last week. here's how he described that deal. >> it was extortion parent simple. it would be like in the middle of world war ii, fdr saying to churchill we are not going to help you against hitler unless you give up half of your minimal resources. >> shannon: what do you make his characterization of the deal? secondly, do you think his democratic colleagues for that he urged zelenskyy to go to the white house and reject the deal? >> no, i don't. but what chris said, i like him personally but it's ridiculous. we're trying to integrate our economies. we are trying to make sure that ukraine has value to the american economy. a win-win situation. they are the richest country in europe in terms of critical minerals which is the oil of the

21st century so doing a deal with ukraine is beneficial to both countries and is not extortion. one it be nice to do a deal with ukraine where we can make $500 billion in the critical minerals space for our own economy and give them money and help them develop their resources so they can grow their economy and defend themselves? that's not extortion but a good business deal and to all these democrats who are worried about this deal, what the hell did you do to deter russia from invading ukraine? or after russia invaded ukraine? pretty much nothing. president trump will and this were justly. we should keep arming ukraine and providing them intelligence if you don't engage in cease-fire we will sanction you and put pressure on both sides to get them to the table to end this war. the minerals deal is a win-win. >> shannon: there is reporting this morning that the president me needs more than just the minerals deal to report to give

back with aid and intelligence sharing with ukraine. this all heads to saudi arabia this week. top officials will be there negotiating. what would you need to see to expect or call it a success? what concrete things coming from the meetings? >> we want to find out what does peace look like in ukraine? they've already suggested they are ready for a cease-fire. they've already suggested they are ready for peace talks. we are sitting down with ukraine this coming week to find a what a good deal looks like to them and urge the russians to sit down with the white house and compare notes and end this war. shuttled diplomacy will work but i want the russians to know that i don't mind talking with you about how to end this war but you will be held accountable for this war. and if they don't come to the table, the russians, we should up sanctions like president trump indicated but you are not helping anybody during these discussions if you do not provide the weapons necessary for ukraine to defend themselves or helping end the

war if you deny intelligence to ukraine to defend themselves while the fighting is going on. i'm hoping we will get a view of how the war ends next week and again to find a way to end the war be to another foreign policy challenge. tensions ratcheting up between iran and the u.s. and the president said he sent over a letter to the leader not mentioning president. where do we go next with iran? their nuclear program is of immense concern to people around the world. >> and immense concern to me, the most destabling event on the planet. he would use it to further his religious agenda which is to purify islam and his own image and destroyed the true state. he would use a nuclear weapon if

he had it. he has enough uranium for six bombs. there is no commercial purpose for enriched uranium at 60%. we run peaceful nuclear reactors. here's what a good deal will look like to me. no more enrichment, take all the enriched iranian him out of iran. and allow them to have nuclear power provided by either russia or china or some international group. enrichment is the process that you used to make a bomb. iran should not be allowed to enrich. united arab emirates has a nuclear program and they don't enrich uranium, they get fuel rods from us. that should be the outcome and it should be quick. if you want to negotiate with them you need to have an end game before they have no nuclear capability to make a bomb when it's over and you should put them on the clock. if you don't put them on the clock and this thing drags out they will rearm and retool so i don't mind talking to them but i

want an end game to make sure they have no nuclear material to make a ball one it's over. they are out of the enrichment business and that we can verify everything i just said. >> shannon: before we leave that region talking about syria as well. lots of news filtering and this weekend and a ton crossing the wires is morning as well about mass executions and slaughtering of minority groups including a lot of christians, minorities as well. what can we be doing. what should we be doing? >> the guy in charge now was associated with aldag daddy, wearing a suit does that mean he's no longer one? i don't know but their actions are reminiscent of what happened in iraq and syria when isis took over going after their religious enemies. they are killing christians. i am very worried. i would urge the administration

to have somebody focused on the syria. saudi arabia is talking ahead of hts. if you are going to talk about removing sanctions on syria you better have conditions to make sure they meet them before you remove those sanctions. is this al qaeda or isis like or some new form of islam we can all live with? i don't know but i've never been more worried about the deterioration of the syria than i am now. the world needs to get engaged was syria before it's too late. >> shannon: do enough democrats vote with you in the senate to avoid a shutdown friday? >> yes. i believe we won't shut the government down come friday but the cr is terrible on defense and the border i want to commit to more money for border and defense before i vote for the cr but i think we will keep the government funded. the only thing we need to be shutting down is iran's nuclear program and not our government. >> shannon: senator, always good to see you. thank you for your time. coming up president trump turns

"the new york times" under this headline, under the explosive meeting or trump officials clashed with elon musk again the president made clear he supports the mission of the musk initiative but time to be more refined in the approach. from now on secretaries would be in charge and the musk team would only advise. president says there is no beef between secretary rubio and elon musk or anyone else but clearly there were some tension. >> this is the kind of move you make when looking at some polls that show people may want to get rid of some of the waste and

fraud in the bureaucracy but when it comes to cutting valuable services that people rely on and one of the most shocking nuggets in that "new york times" story was that sean duffy the transportation secretary yelled at elon musk and said you are cutting air-traffic controllers, people who keep our skies safe and that is a real notable moment and one that shows the backlash, maybe not huge but it could get worse if trump doesn't restrain musk at some of his worst impulses. >> shannon: it begs the question, he is very good at taking public rights to twitter and a lot of pressure there so even if the secretary makes an independent decision, any thoughts you have that he might go public with his criticism or pressure on them? >> that's fine but the president will have to pay the consequences and the republicans in congress will ultimately pay the consequences so elon musk and go to twitter all he wants but the fact of the matter is that congress and the american people are not happy with lots of these cuts being made and are losing programs and valuable

programs, the department of education getting cut their clenches for kids and underprivileged schools. a lot of things that are being done that don't make a lot of sense. elon musk can take that to twitter but the fact of the matter is the american people have the final say in will and the midterms. >> bernie sanders out there saying this about the efforts. >> in order to make themselves even wealthier, they want to dismember the federal government and cut programs of low income and working people desperately. they want to cut these programs so that they can give the 1% $1.1 trillion in tax breaks. >> shannon: does the g.o.p. run the risk and those arguments begin to take traction? >> he is a socialist who has done rather well for himself with his three homes but he always wants the government to be nothing but bigger all the time. much, much bigger so i'm sure he's very angry that someone is

trying to rein in some of the insanity. i think the way we heard president trump talk about this issue and frame it in the sound bite is appealing to people and lots of the polling suggests that doge generally is popular. the devil is in the details and i think trump signaled the way that he wants us to go and i think it's important for musk and his team to recognize they have to be yes swift and yes aggressive but also smart about what they are doing and not make decisions and then have to dial them back and rehire people that they've already fired. i think they can do both and do it well and do it smart but also keep in mind there are donors and public opinion can move one way or the other. >> shannon: public opinion was rough on democrats this week. you heard our interview with the congressmen and they had some tough bits including this video that got a lot of attention with maybe not going viral in the way they want to. choose your fighter. jimmy kimmel, no supporter of conservatives or president trump had this reaction to that video.

>> we are not going to stand back and take it anymore but we are going to fight. [laughter] what is that supposed to do besides embarrass everyone involved with it? >> shannon: if you are losing jimmy kimmel on the left it might be a tricky week. >> he has a sense of humor and democrats show they don't and that was a big take away i think you saw in the joint session. senator /in, a sharp move, she was sober, won a seat in the state president trump won in michigan. she was pushing the democrats and the country truly litigate over whether president trump is inheriting and advancing a legacy, it was litigating conservative principles and whether or not president trump was actually advancing month. that was really sophisticated and reflects how much president trump has moved the democratic party where the democratic senators talking about reagan ask principles. >> shannon: because it's your

party i will give you the final word. >> i think they need to focus more on the policy and stay off the vibes. that won't work for us and i think they need to be careful here. >> shannon: i am not cool enough. thank you very much. most foreign policy headlines remain focused on russia, ukraine and the middle east. growing concerns about china's intentions not only for taiwan but its support for enemies of the u.s. as well. "new york times" best selling author joe is has a brand-new nl out. we talked with him about all the ways china is involved with foreign policy challenges now confronting the white house. >> president trump focused more on china than any other country in the state of the union address. tuesday night he spent a lot more time really laying out a series of policies that deal more with china, obviously russia and ukraine as well but he's trying to prevent a massive takeover of the pacific.

and the global economic sphere. >> president donald trump: china's average tariff is twice what we charge them. the system is not fair to the united states and never was. >> he is very focused on china but i'm not sure he's focused enough on taiwan because he has iran and ukraine really cooking and he's trying to deal with both those issues and gaza. >> the command has was lots of concerns in recent weeks that this is really inching closer to what he things could be an actual move on taiwan but you talk about how china has tentacles in so many other things. they are also really helping with ambitions in iran, the nuclear program, the way they want to progress. they are selling weapons you say to israel's enemies. our ally in that region so they really are involved in many other things that we are focused on. >> when you think about communist china. you need to think obviously about the risk. if they were to move on taiwan

and take this little democratic ally island, they are creating a stepping-stone towards dominance in the pacific and they will freak out every american ally but it's not just the pacific. china is building a 25 year strategic alliance with the iranian regime. the most dangerous terrorist regime on the planet. communist china buying 90% of the black-market oil that iran is selling in defiance of international and american sanctions. they are buying 90% of it. where is that money going? it goes to tehran and hamas. it goes to hezbollah and the houthis and a ghost to fight and kill israelis. and of course lots of palestinians are dying as a result. >> shannon: what do you make of president trump and president aziz relationship? >> with president xi and this is controversial but he respects

both, he is not in bed with them but he knows they have nuclear weapons and they have ambitions to do great harm. trump is trying to work with both men to see if there is anyway to create leverage but also deals that get us off the path to world war iii. russia invaded ukraine, iran a text israel from seven directions and president xi has not moved yet. trumps discussions with the president are critical. >> shannon: we all wish for the best with this administration in finding those solutions. congratulations on the new book. thank you so much. up next. 60 years ago facing a brutal assault known as bloody sunday shocking the nation most watching it unfold on their tv screens. live on the ground in alabama for the day's commemorations. we will take you there, next.
