. >> aishah: i'm aishah hosni in for dana today. the deal would see ukraine hand over some natural resources as a payback for u.s. military aid. the pentagon says the u.s. has spent more than $65 billion helping ukraine defend itself from russia. president trump calls this deal a really important step towards ending the three-year long war. >> president trump: we'll be signing a very important agreement for both sides because it is going to get us into that country. we'll be working there and have a lot of people working there and so in that sense it is very good. it's a back stop, you could say. i don't think anybody will play around if we are there with a lot of workers having to do with rare earths and other things, which we need for our country. and we appreciate it very much. i look forward to seeing him. >> aishah: let's get the latest from the white house from lucas tomlinson. >> ukrainian zelenskyy arrives at the white house in two hours. he is the third world leader to visit with president trump at the white house this week

>> bret: aishah hasnie live on the hill. aishah, thanks. up next, we examine the latest inflation report that shows consumer prices rose more than expected last month. first, beyond our borders tonight, at least 20 people were injured in a fire at a clothing factory in rio de janeiro, about 90 firefighters helped get that fire under control and rescue the workers trapped inside. one worker said the fire started on the ground floor while they were asleep. more than 10 million hindus took a dip in the holy waters of northern india. authorities deployed police officers and put air ambulances on standby for that festival. it is considered the world's largest gathering of humanity. and this is a live look at budapest. courtesy of earth cam. one of the big stories there tonight. hungarian prime minister victor meets with germany's far right candidate for chancellor. mainstream german leaders have been working to contain the alternative for germany party. the country is set to vote in an early election this year, later this month. after the chance

good evening, aishah. >> aishah: bret, good evening.are keeping a close eye on the floor right now. this bill is about to come up. it is a second in a three-vote series. and as you mentioned, speaker johnson dealing with some very, very slim majority here. he is dealing with budget hawks demanding massive cuts and then also moderates who are afraid those massive cuts will hurt their districts. right now, if the numbers shake out the way that we are thinking, speaker johnson can only lose 3 of his own and that is because he won't get any help from the democrats tonight. >> help democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless product not one. >> house democrats all over the capitol today protesting a unlock president trump's agenda. the g.o.p. budget resolution opens the door to $300 billion in border and defense spending it. also includes an extension to the 2017 trump tax cuts. and a $4 trillion debt ceiling increase. republicans hope to cut 2 trillion in spending. and democrats say they will do it by slashing medicaid. >> the

aishah, will what -- that vote will happen 5:30 this evening. republicans can only lose three of their own. the filibuster vote. the first procedural vote that sets her up for final confirmation and watching senators like mcconnell and murcowski. they voted against the controversial candidates. it looks like gabbard gets the 51 votes she needs to get to confirmation. that's thanks to vice president jd vance and tom cotton because fox digital learned that vance was really instrumental here making personal phone calls to senators on this committee that were iffy on gabbard. cotton was setting up a makeshift war room reaching out to sinema and byrd to help bring in some of those senators. a big problem for these folks especially democrats with gabbard was her inability to call edward snow den a traitor. in the end looks like cotton and vance teamed up and worked to ease the minds of these republicans. now rfk, jr. will get a vote this week. democrats delay the votes by talking, taking up the 30 hour debate rule to bash these candidates. >> families

>> bret: so, aishah, how soon could some of these cuts be put into law?at's kind of the million dollars question. i should say a lot of our viewers want to know that, too. speaker johnson had mentioned, perhaps, adding some of these doge cuts that we are seeing elon musk make across the board. putting that into a cr. it's a short-term government funding bill. at least one senate republican, susan collins has pushed back on that idea saying that she would rather see this go through the appropriations process so that they can bring in all of these agencies. secretaries have been testifying really find out how this is affecting their federal agencies. bret? >> bret: aishah hasnie live on capitol hill, thanks. coming up a hollywood icon has died. we look back at the career of geenel hackman and the circumstances around his death. fox 26 in houston as the police officer's union slams a local judge for setting bond for a man charged with murder of a harris county deputy. the union calls the decision by the judge indefensible. the judge set bond for $1 million f

alicia: thank you, aishah. doge versus democrats, where is this headed?ear politics phil wegmann. thank you so much for being here. where is this headed? it's just like nonstop. >> well, right now republicans are delighted because it seems that every fight that elon musk picks with democrats is an 80-20 fight. you'll hear that a lot from trump world. they see that as a fight where 80% of the public supports them and the 20% is in opposition. so long as elon musk keeps picking fights over things like usaid where republicans feel they can present to the public an argument that they really are cutting waste, fraud and abuse, they're happy for this to continue and happy for democrats to keep setting them up for these kind of lay-ups. alicia: and democrats did hold a rally on thursday at the department of veterans affairs to rail against what they're doing. take a listen. >> we talked about the golden age, he was talking about delivering even more money to elon musk and the tech titans. >> let's make sure that unelected felon musk, because you can't spell felo

. >> dana: aishah hosni is on capitol hill. hi, aishah. >> good morning to you guys. i was inside the chamber when it was going down. it was like the hunger games. so dramatic watching as democrats were trying everything to tank the budget resolution and bringing in a congresswoman who just had a baby four weeks ago to the house floor. another congressman who had knee surgery had a blood clot and he was there voting as well trying to kill this thing. at first speaker johnson sent everybody home. he couldn't flip enough of those republican hold-outs. within ten minutes it was actually pretty crazy. he called everybody back. apparently president trump's personal phone calls to these lawmakers worked. >> there is no quid pro quo. the president assured me he would work towards cuts. he has always been honest about it. the speaker backed him up and we talked about some specific things. that's between us. >> those promises worked for him. did not work for massey. the sole republican to vote no. the hard work begins. there is no policy inside this thing yet. republicans need

aishah. >> you are exactly right.one single member of their own conference especially now that we know that democrats are not likely to help them at all when they go to vote tonight on this budget resolution at 6:00 this evening. as you said, the left right now is attacking president trump's one big beautiful bill by really drilling down and going after the 2017 tax cuts. those will expire at the end of the year. on monday, democrat leader hakeem jeffries sent a letter to his colleagues saying quote far right extremists are trying to push through 4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the wealthy republican donors as well as well-connected corporations. he is calling on democrats to meet him outside the capitol today in just about 30 minutes to rally against this. they will do a protest outside today. we asked house democrats what they would say to americans out there watching this and wondering why they would stand in the way of tax breaks? >> listen, what i tell people is to remember that average americans got bread crumbs.

>> >> aishah hasnie live on capitol hill. thank you.dent trump's first cabinet meeting of his second term and my interview with commerce secretary lutnick. but, first, a little behind the scenes at the commerce department. >> bret: all right. we are at the commerce building with the new secretary of commerce. howard lutnick. this is your new digs. >> 2 million square feet and only seven stories high. >> bret: wow. how about that? this is the hoover building. >> if you walk around the outside it is a mile. one mile to walk around the outside. >> bret: now, do you have everybody back? are they coming back? >> they are told to come back because i believe that if you don't work together with camaraderie and connection, then you are just not as good and not as productive. they are all coming back. >> bret: let's see. this is your office here. >> so come on in. >> all right beautiful office and view. you are real close to the white house over here. >> that's what is really good about it. it's the closest office. you have treasury on the other

aishah hasnie, thank you very much. we'll have more on the story.y the way, the house majority if leader, steve scalise, he's on a little later in the show. joining me now to dig deep on all this is ben domenech, editor at large at the spectator if and fox news contributor, and steve forbes, "forbes" if media chairman and editor-in-chief. good to see you. ben, two hours, we're supposed to get this vote. this morning it looked very bad. apparently, donald trump has been on the phone all day with some of the recalcitrant republicans. what are you hearing? >> what i'm hearing, frankly, is more of the same in terms of the frustrations of a lot of these fiscal hawks who within the house have really tried to work over the years to get anything in terms of the kinds of cuts to government that we've seen them try and fight for in the past. but as you know, this is a situation where a sclerotic congress that has been incapable of dealing with the budget resolutions in any kind of normal order without these kind of big bills that have to punt anything to avoi

aishah, appreciate it. >> reporter: you got it. has announced he is entering the race for governor of florida. governor desantis has not endorsed him. >> my view is, is donald trump just got into office. i want these congressmen focused on enacting his agenda. the reality is, is, you know, we've achieved victories in florida. we need to start achieving those victories up there. so i think people look at it and say, you know, you've got a guy like byron, he just hasn't been a part of any of the victories that we've had here over the left over these past years. he's just not been a part of it. stuart: well, look who's here now, congressman byron donalds himself. desantis says you were not part of the victories. ing would you like to respond to that? >> no, not really -- [laughter] listen, stu, i'm just thankful, first, to have the support of president trump and have his complete and total endorsement to run to the next governor of florida. i would say in terms of what i've been able to accomplish in my time in elected politics, when

aishah hasnie joins us from capitol hill. who are we talking about?ressman dean phillips. he was the canary and vocal mine when it came to the presidential primary season, president biden's age, calling out his party for not having a primary, nobody listen to him and we saw what happened. now we are wondering if they will listen to him now because he's calling out the party once again and telling them to stop fighting elon musk. he says this. i think we are missing is the boat as democrats, sometimes it is better to join them and play a role in how the strategy works rather than so pathetically, he says, try to combat something that clearly is a steamroller. he sees that it is popular among americans and he is worried about his party. democrats may be too far gone and their doge warfare, chris murphy calling for a full-scale opposition to musk so they are holding press conferences, rallies, slamming it on musk and kennedy hearings, bringing back doge and nomination hearings, republicans have the opposite problem, they can't keep up with dogisa they ar

aishah hosni is following it all. what have we missed in the last couple hours?hit the nail on the head. we don't know if speaker johnson has enough republican votes to get it going later don't. he doesn't have any votes from democrats. in fact, right now the left is attacking president trump's big, beautiful bill by going after his 2017 tax cuts which do expire later on this year. now on monday democrat leader jeffries wrote a letter to his democratic conference and basically saying the far right extr extremists are trying to push through tax breaks for wealthy republican donors and well-connected corporations. he is calling on them to go outside the capitol today at noon and protest this. we asked some democrats here why -- what they would say to americans wondering why they would stay in the way of tax breaks? >> listen, what i tell people first of all is to remember that average americans got bread crumbs. a couple weeks groceries in tax cuts. the most wealthy got the lion's share of that tax scam. so they get yachts and we get bread crumbs. don't settle for

aishah hasnie joining the live. we affect drama from the democrats.t to do we hear today in the room? >> reporter: they are going through opening statements but these democrats are going to bring the drama that includes texas congressman jazmine crockett. she's in the hearing room and multiple outlets demanded this hearing is a bleep show, you fill-in the blank and doga as she puts it is the devil. the top democrat on this committee is saying they are going to battle with republicans because of the taxpayer in democracy. so congressman crockett has a history of exchanging insults with marjorie taylor greene, this is what mtd told us when we asked how she's going to maintain order today. we don't have any sound but keep listening in. we will keep listening in and and bring you the latest headlines from this hearing but we are told this is going to be something to watch as democrats try to battle republicans over doge. david: let's turn to the inflation report. it came in harder than expected, dumping 4.5% in january. much more than 5. 3%, annual inflat

i want to bring in cofounder aishah tarique. $4 trillion in checking amounts, almost 10 trillion in savingsand money marmarkets and $18 trillion in h and going for them to be importance for investment thesis. 19 years ago at this stage mainly because we're seeing customers spend money like 3.7 to 4.2 in the last quarter but at the same time, we are seeing prices remain sticky. we have the threat of tariffs as well and going to be higher and the cash balance acts like a cushion for the consumer and the point where wages are starting to come down as well. charles: so, in other words will we keep spending as wages slow and growth of wages slow, will the rate of spending continue and do you expect that to slow as well? >> we think it'll slow and going for them with savings and savings rate comes down and going for the savings and they will and i think everything considers again and we will going to slide it down for spending and particularly if prices remain high. charles: in november, you like the stock and still in it and recent pullback here and inside and retail investors are record amount

. >> dana: aishah hosni tracking the action live from capitol hill. hi. >> good morning.inda mcmahon walked in. this is the elephant in the room today during this hearing. essentially asking the senate to give her this job she will eventually have to put herself out of the job. aside from questions about a number of things, senators will ask her about her experience, allegations that she covered up abuse at the wwe, and her commitment to civil rights office. everyone will want to know today does she support president trump's plan to dismantle this department of education? there are meanty of republicans on capitol hill i can tell you who want to see that happen. the white house is reportedly thinking about starting with executive action and then asking congress to seal the deal. oversight committee chairman james comer, who oversees the doge committee in the house and agrees with president trump's plan told me it won't be a problem for house republicans. this might be a big problem for senate republicans. watch. >> if we are going to pass something like that, we've to fig

aishah hasnie joins me, what's the latest on getting the bill done what's the latest especially wallx cuts extended. >> absolutely so do many republicans that feel like they needed to go through with the one big beautiful bill and it looks like that's underway and at the same time everyone is arguing about doge including democrats who are using this to make their arguments. for example minnesota senator tina smith over the weekend not so minnesota nice on x writing this on sunday about elon musk in the e-mail to federal workers basically asking them to prove their worth. she wrote this this is the ultimate [bleep] boss moved from elon musk except he's not the boss he's a you know what. elon replied to her what did you get that last week and smith shot back that she answers to the people minnesota adding that she spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for beginners like elon musk. that appears to be the new talking point for the left in all the negotiations. >> this is all about taking wealth, taking resources from the federal government in programs that are actually helping work

this, tonight senate is set to hold a procedural vote on president trump's dni nominee tulsi gabbard aishahhill with the very latest all right. what can we expect for confirmation for gabbard, yay or nay? >> it is a yay david this is one of the controversial nominees some republicans out there were a little iffy on her but i think it is a yay. the first procedural vote that overcoming filibuster will tell us a lot about her final confirmation vote it is going to happen at 5:30 later tonight and republicans only lose three we're watching folks like mitch mcconnell and lisa who have previously voted against trump most controversial candidates so we will see. but looks like she's going get the votes that's partly in thanks toe vice president jd vance, and intel chair tom cotton, that's because fox digital learned that vance was making personal phone calls to senators on the committee senators who weren't exactly sure about gabbard and cotton also set up a make shift war room, so to speak, reaching out to kyrsten sinema and chairman richard to bring in iffy republicans now a big problem for som

. >> aishah: and security assurances. lawmakers feel, especially republicans, feel like the president is in charge and that something could happen. but they again security assurances for the nato countries is a big deal for those folks on capitol hill. they are watching this closely. they don't want putin to get away with this. >> bill: thanks for coming in today. dana is back on monday. you have a great weekend, okay we'll get i have to harris in a moment and wait for the big meeting at the white house. here is harris. >> harris: we'll pick it up here with a fox news alert. the world is watching what happens today. when our president meets at the white house with the president of ukraine. this is an important hinge point in history. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." president donald trump and the ukrainian president zelenskyy are expected to try to carve a path to end russia's war on ukraine. we've been told in our reporting the men will also sign a historic rare earth minerals deal that could stre

irish a shah hasnie joinings uh-oh to -- aishah hasnie is joining us from capitol hill.t waste? >> reporter: good morning, stuart. what congress is doing or house republicans are doing right now is mirroring what elon musk is doing with the federal work force, and they're actually starting with themselves. so let me go through the three new bills that were announced this week. the first one is is interesting, it's called the drain the swamp -- excuse me, the first one is called put your money where your is act. okay, that's an interesting one. it calls on lawmakers to reduce spending in their congressional offices by $100,000 the over the course of a year. so they're sport thing with their own offices -- starting with their own office as first. the second is called the drain the swamp agency -- the swamp act. and finally, the cuts act claws back all that covid relief money that never went anywhere. republicans want president trump to know they will not allow another president to just come in and executive order and reverse everything he's doing right now. >> well, i told

what are you hearing, aishah?east one democrat now, bill, that raising the red flag for his party and saying hang on one second. you will remember it is dean phillips, former congressman who was really the canary in the coal mine during the presidential primary with president biden's age. no one listened to him and we saw what happened. now he is saying guys, don't fight elon musk. this is a very popular idea to cut waste amongst americans and here is his brutal take this week about what his party is doing. watch. >> i think we're missing the boat as democrats. sometimes it is better to join them and actually play a role in how the strategy works rather than so pathetically, frankly, trying to combat something that clearly is a steam roller and democrats are being stem rolled. democrats may be too far gone. chris murphy calling for full scale opposition to musk. holding press conferences, rallies and bringing up doge in non-nation hearings. non-stop. republicans are having the opposite problem. they can't keep up
