kelly. >> so, megan, a presidential memorandum, not an executive order. technically. >> that's what we're expecting. it's only a technical difference, but it can matter in terms of the amount of authority given here. so some of the fine print is actually going to be important to look at. is this simply a plan. is this a proposal to work on a report to maybe do tariffs. or is this something more formal. we're doing tariffs on x date. and then countries have to decide what they're willing to give up in order to try to avoid them. so maybe a scramble we have to sort of look at those sorts of details. >> that's a very interesting one, megan. thank you for now. we appreciate it. megan cassella. reminder, even as we wait for more specifics, actual and threatened tariffs have already been a major theme this earnings season, mentioned by more than 200 companies on their calls, according to wolfe research. some examples. ford ceo jim farley saying 25% tariffs on mexico and canada, which are currently kind of in limbo or delayed, would burrow a hole in the us indus

but he free to six americans being held in venezuela and here they are, and he said this on the megan kelly show yesterday quoting, is our job to convince the venezuelan government to show them the facts, this is what the biden team did not do, they did not send anyone to the presence -- to the presence. -- to the prisons. the biden administration did not try and boom, trump is an office for a few days and they are coming home. >> less than two weeks president trump had hostages coming home, hostages people did not even know were in venezuela. his envoy went down there and he asked, i want the six hostages and he said, i don't have them, and then the basset or -- and the ambassadors that i need them, you will get them to me and the regime brought them to him and a very emotional moment. he got to say i am an american diplomat and i'm here to bring you home from president trump's orders. it was incredible. >> trace: meantime back in california the epa administrator went with l.a. mayor to the fires, at the palisades to check all of this out, i think as you look at these pictures, they will d

. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome journalist of the megan kelly show. megan kelly. >> k. see pack. appreciate it, guys. you guys have been out there all day and this is amazing. i have to tell you, you know, especially now that i do my own show in my own studio, i do not get out enough. it's wonderful to get out there and see the people. it can be a little petty in an event like this they come over and they say the nicest things. you can almost be in danger of getting a little too drunk on your own wine. i think you meant jd vance. jd. he is 48. forty-nine. [laughter] you can start to get a little drunk on your own wine. however, the good thing is god is there to bounce things out for you. god or my mom and bring you down a peg. i went with so many great people they were loving. just the rebirth of our nation. this one guy came over to me and he was so excited to see me. i cannot believe that it is you. can i please have a picture with you. i would be happy to. i'm sending it to my mom, she is never going to believe this. he walks away and we hear him say i cannot believe

. >> megan kelly that's right. one big number for you guys today. the u.s. spent $84 billion on interest costs alone on the public debt last month. that's more than 20% increase from the same month a year ago. and it was one of the biggest drivers of higher government spending. so for the fiscal year to date so far, we now have data for the first four months, total government spending revenues and the size of the federal deficit. they're all at record highs. so in other words, we're taking in more money, but we're also spending it faster than ever. so the deficit just continues to grow. now, besides the interest payments, a few other categories here of higher spending, spending at the department of homeland security, that was up about 43% year to date, mostly due to more disaster aid being spent by fema in the wake of wildfires and hurricanes. defense and military spending also up slightly about 9% so far this year compared to last, and three of the biggest line items in the government's budget medicare, medicaid and social security. those are all still edgi

megan costello with more. >> kelly, quite a long confab with reporters in the oval office.uld say right now a few more topics to hit here. the president was just talking about tick tock, as you mentioned. he said the tick tock deadline could be extended. he says he hopes to make a deal on tick tock, and that he will make it worthwhile for china to approve a tiktok sale. he's also alluding to chip tariffs, it sounds like here saying that taiwan took our chip business away and we want that business back. he has threatened tariffs on chips. we don't have any further details on that at this time. he also said he is not concerned about countries shifting their business to china. and then one last point, given that the indian prime minister, narendra modi, is planning to be at the white house later today, trump also said that elon musk met with prime minister modi earlier today, and trump said he assumes that musk wants to do business in india. so no further details on that, but more to look forward to as we await the full tape playback from this oval office. hey guys. >> megan,

megan, with some potential implications for tiktok. welcome. >> absolutely, kelly. so a whole bunch of topics that we're going to hit right now. the president is in the oval office right now talking to reporters. we have not yet seen the full tape playback, but we're seeing the headlines hit from the wire. so first, on the tariffs front, i heard you guys hit these at the top. trump is saying according to the wires that we haven't agreed yet on tariffs with mexico and that we will have a big negotiation with mexico. my interpretation of those comments, since we know earlier that they agreed to this one month delay, is that he is signaling that over the next 30 days there will be more talks. they haven't yet decided where to go from there. for now, i would assume that that one month delay still holds. he also says that he had a good talk with canadian prime minister justin trudeau. and we are watching because we know at 3 p.m. today they're expected to speak again. no deal yet with canada. so a lot to watch coming out of that very consequential phone call later this a
