a lot of people traveling in for ufc. there is a law in california if you have paying ho residents staying in rooms you can't quick them out. >> might have access if there is fire snras displaced from the room. there is logistical issues that could come up. hopefully those don't arise. >> carley: maybe it would be easier to move it right now. >> todd: not just logistics it's also optics. do you want to be in a position where that's even an issue when you have all these people that don't have homes. you want it to be a nonissue. i think in the end they should move to vegas. vegas is used to hosting these things. it's kind of what they do charlie. >> i have geraldo that the team lorena is on standby. they are waiting for the go if that needs to happen for now 311 is happening in l.a. >> carley: can i get another crack at it? charly arnolt. >> you did it. >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> lawrence:

ufc.mebody new but we took care of both of them. we beat, actually, two opponents. but to stop the weaponization of law enforcement in our government i will sign an order directing every federal agency to preserve all records pertaining to political persecution under the last administration of which there were many and beginning the process of exposing any and all abuses of power. even though he's pardoned many of these people. can you believe it? he's pardoned them? he did it while i was speaking because that way i couldn't speak about it. i finished my speech and they told me he pardoned his whole family. i said can i go back out and talk about it? somehow that wouldn't be very elegant. our first lady would say please don't do that. we have plenty of time to talk about it and we will. we are doing this on our first day in office. don't forget, we have been in this position where we won the primaries in record time, the fastest win of a primary ever in political history, which is nice. it

larry: dana white, ufc, he's on the border.berg if zuckerberg goes against this new one. >> obviously policy consequences and this election going for them and it's downstream cultural concepts and going to have the trump victory and going to much of america and larry: happy new year, steve danes. senator, you helped engineer the democrat defeat and republican takeover of the senate. what do you expect president trump goes to washington. he's going to meet with the senate republicans. you heard, i think, michael jacobson speaker mike johnson say he needs a one bill strategy because of the need for a republican coalition in the house. what do you make of that, senator danes? >> well, look, we're just about an hour and 15 minutes from meeting with the president. larry, never been a more influential lyddane america than president trump. he's 12 days away from being sworn in and he's the de facto president of the jung as we speak. beyond that, he's the most powerful influential leader in the world. and he's coming up to capitol hill

i saw that patriotism when i went to the ufc fight with will cain just before the holidays in november. was it november, early december. any case, i was surprised at the crowd at how patriotic they were and how excited they were to be this. i think you'll see the same thing here at this bull riding event. carley: i want to know where charlie: i want to know where they got all the dirt from. guy: they rented it. they rented the dirt from new jersey. charlie: where do you get it from new jersey? when i think of all the clean dirt, i don't know that new jersey and new york are the places i'm going to go to rent dirt if i want -- rachel: do you need clean dirt at a bull riding event? come on, it's just dirt. charlie: you walk around here. there's good dirt and there's good -- good dirty dirt and bad dirty dirt and new york specializes in bad dirty dirt. guy: the rented dirt might be cleaner than the streets of manhattan? charlie: are you kidding me? would you eat anything that's grown between the sidewalks here in the city? rachel: no. charlie, you'll get a chance to ask the ceos later on.

california, where i guess everything is more neutral and non-biased and also bringing dana white, trump's ufcnto the team. >> i will say he did send joe kaplan, the republican operative now head of policy at meta onto fox news to basically announce it to donald trump. so he kind of did do what you were saying. i think that this is just a kind of complete and total capitulation to the trump administration but also to the general sort of political winds and the winds of discourse as he described it earlier today. i think he feels that the election is -- is some kind of, you know, vote of no confidence in the legacy media but also just in, you know, anything that could be broadly defined as woke. and he wants to, you know, get out ahead of that and i guess turn facebook or meta products into x like elon musk. >> yeah, the elon musk of it all seems to loom large, and i wonder how much emulating elon musk and his relationship with trump is in the back of mark zuckerberg's mind, but also probably more urgently what this practically does to the spread of information. i think some people think commun

that's not all, today he announced he is giving the ufc president dana white a seat on the board at metae speech. >> after trump first got elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote nonstop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy. we tried in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth but the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and destroyed more trusted than they've created especially in the u.s. what started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas and is gone too far. >> mehta is doing a full 180. now they're embracing trump's commitment to free expression ditching the fact-checking censorship and announcing the changes on fox. >> we've got a real opportunity now we have a new administration and a new president coming in. big defenders of free expression and that makes a difference. one of the thanks we've experienced is that win you have a u.s. president administration that's pushing for censorship it makes it open season for other governments a

. >> jesse: meta is also improving ties with trump by tapping his ally and ufc ceo dana white to join& friends getting an interview with the global affairs officer who praises trump's commitment to free speech. watch. >> we've got a new administration and a new president coming in. we are big defenders of free expression. that makes a difference. when you have a u.s. president administration is pushing for censorship, it just makes it open season for other governments around the world they don't even have the protections of the first amendment to really put pressure on u.s. companies. >> jesse: what do you think is going on here? >> dana: i believe this is mark zuckerberg getting back to his roots and what he actually really believes and not listening to people inside the company who are on the board or whoever it was, trying to push them into a different direction. i think that he does believe in free speech and that they got so wrapped around the axle and they were really slow and timid to do with, and then it got to be entirely too much. and all they were doing was basically taking
