and not long after the account was suspended. she said she would have her -- lisa: probably not a good offer. clayton: fox & friends right now, see you. >> ready for a five-day workweek? everybody is back. i'm ainsley earhardt. look at all those faces. democrats need to stop wining and fall in line. >> we confirmed seven cabinet appointments the day president obama was sworn in. we didn't like most of them either but he won the election. ainsley: we are going to tell you what to expect. steve: the u.s. just keeps on winning, major auto maker vows to create thousands of jobs right here in the united states.

is it a trump triumph? we will talk about that, pete. peter: yes, hollywood elites hold high profile party last night. >> disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. when the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose. peter: more for the melthdown also known as a hillary rally. morning fox & friends. steve: good morning, folks, live from studio. actually not everybody is here. brian -- ainsley: for most of america, you know, last week everyone -- most people took monday off because of new year's, the week before that it was christmas and all of that. steve: i was in florida over the weekend, you know what, the kids are not back until today from the complete christmas holiday. ainsley: really?

[laughter] ainsley: you walked up the hill and up the hill back home, right? steve: in the snow to get to school. we have a full week is the president elect and his team and essentially what they're trying to do is the senate is going to have confirmation hearings this week for all of those people who would like to be on trump's cabinet, the republicans are racing to get the team in day one, they will probably do it because the democrats simply don't have the votes. peter: no, they passed the nuclear on their watch, by the way, the other party can win as well and when they do they will only require 51 votes. ainsley: this happens every time there's a new president. the other side compliance because they don't like the picks. whoever donald trump chose, that's who is probably going to be confirmed and later down the road if they don't like something that these people are

doing, they will make the switch. for me personally jobs, national security, i pray to god that he's putting the right people in place and that'll come out in time but they have to go through hearings and elizabeth warren is not happy for some of the picks, she tweeted out, cabinet officials must put our country's interest before their own, no confirmation hearing should be held until we are certain that's the case. she's talking about these folks who are up for cabinet positions. they have to complete what's called an ethics review. they have to fill out a form, talking about who have they given money to, what their financial situations are and that way, they're trying to do this to avoid conflict of interest. steve: right. in addition what she and other democrats are trying to do this week is pass a conflict of interest bill that would require donald trump and mike pence to divest themselves of anything, so going forward there's never a conflict of interest. keep in mind the way the rules are written is the president of vice president can never have a

conflict of interest. it's just the way rules are written, folks. you can't have one. peter: this is how the swamp works. it was chuck schumer and elizabeth warren who donald trump calls pocahontas who asked them for update on the process and democratic senators waving around and said, look, they are not done, it's a done. they are never fully done by the hearings, by the time the senate votes on it which will be onish agouration day, there will be. there's a real scandal here. this is all procedural. they are trying to -- ainsley: i thought what he said was on target. listen to what he said on one of the sunday shows yesterday. >> i was in senator schumer's position, i know how it feels when you're coming into a new situation that the other guys won the election, what did we do, we confirmed seven cabinet appointments the day president

obama was sworn in. we didn't like most of them either, but he won the election. so all of these little procedural complaints are related to their frustration in not having not only lost the white house but having lost the senate. i understand that but we need to sort of grow up here and get past that. we need to have the president's national security team in place on day one. steve: it looks like that's going to happen, most probably. we have done research. look at all the stuff that's going on behind the scenes to make sure that on day one president-elect donald trump does have the men and women for the cabinet. peter: they have been doing their homework, they have been working hard, practice hearings, questions being lobbied at them probably harder than they'll get. ainsley: 300 meetings with 87 u.s. senators, 70 hours, answering almost 3,000 questions during practice sessions and 189

volunteers to help question cab neglect -- cabinet picks. peter: they have less government experience which all of us and most of americans see as a good thing because they are taking on the infrastructure. ainsley: that's what we want. peter: all the contacts in business and take more time to go through some of that but it doesn't mean they have a conflict of interest. ainsley: when was it a crime to be wealthy when you work really hard from the bottom -- peter: in washington. steve: we really have to look at the nominees or the whole russia thing last week, david núñez said yesterday russia and all the other stuff is just political noise. they lost it. look, when you think about it, in the last couple of weeks, month and a half, donald trump has had a pretty good run.

peter: yeah. steve: donald trump right out of the get-go, carrier was going to keep a thousand jobs here in the united states, ford announcing they were going to cancel the plans to build the plant in méxico, boeing saying, you're right, air force one costs too much. lockheed martin reduce the price on f-35, last week trump went after gm and toyota, stay tune on that, but overnight we have unbelievable news and that is fiat chrysler is going to go ahead and it sounds like invest a billion dollars in two plants in the united states and keep a whole bunch of jobs right here in america. peter: these were jobs that used to be at a plant in méxico. there was a choice between investing in méxico where they make the pickup truck and move it here and invest here and adds 2,000 jobs. it's amazing. ainsley: this is what america cares about. they are trying to put food on the table. they want jobs, these folks understand the confirmation

process or maybe they just don't understand it but don't care. peter: they don't want political gains. ainsley: the democrats are still trying to talk about. lots of people are keeping their jobs. méxico is not getting the jobs, that's the bottom line. steve: do you think fiat chrysler is doing that because of donald trump? peter: because they say they are. ainsley: what about hollywood? do you think middle america cares about that? steve: they love the golden globes, great big bottles of champagne and last night, keep in mind last night was the first red carpet event since donald trump was elected president of the united states, he was not hollywood's candidate, he certainly was not meryl streep candidates and she let him have it. >> all of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in american society right now. think about it. hollywood, foreigners and the

press. [laughter] >> so hollywood is crawling with outsider and foreigners and if we kick them all out you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts which are not the art. but there was one performance this year that stunned me. it was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, this brings me to the press, we need the principled to call him for every outrage. we are going to need them going forward and they'll need us to safe guard the truth. [applause] ainsley: that's why the giants lost last night because they realized that meryl streep doesn't like football. peter: there they go. trump responded right away saying people keep saying i intent to mock reporter

disability as if meryl streep could read my mind and i did no such thing. a lot of these people supported hillary. hey, a little bit more football and mma is fine with me. there are photos of besties together. steve: meryl streep obviously disappointed that donald trump is the next president of the united states. you know who she's disappointed in the people of america, how could you possibly have voted for donald trump. america, you let her down. are you happy? peter: she's the most vilified. they're privileged too much. steve: anyway -- ainsley: she used her opportunity to talk about her lifetime achievements to talk about the election. steve: as you can see we have a very busy week down in new york city and out in hollywood and washington, d.c., but there's other news, isn't there, heather? heather: that's right. welcome back, great to see you.

we start overseas with a fox news alert, isis clearly behind the deadly truck attack in jerusalem over the weekend. that claim coming from netanyahu, he's saying that all signs point to the terror group. well that disgusting rampage caught on surveillance camera, we want to warn you, the video disturbing, the palestinian suspect mowing down a group of israeli soldiers killing four, three of them were women and leaving 15 other people hurt. the driver was shot and killed at the scene. while millions of americans were watching football and the golden globes, the fbi quietly releasing 300 new pages of hillary clinton's e-mail records, the latest release deals with the handling of computer hardware that was collected from clinton's team. the documents include exchanges between the fbi and state department as to whether some obtained personal or classified information. and congress gears up to battle

obamacare he's confident that signature will survive even under different name. >> if in fact, republicans make modifications, some which i have been making previously but they didn't want to cooperate because they didn't want to make the system work and relabel it as trumpcare, i'm fine with that. >> okay. the president challenging republicans to come up with a cheaper system that ensures more people and they are on it, on the hill. a lot of plans. steve: right. heather, thank you. peter: democrats up and arms over president-elect trump's plan for his own reset with russia. our own governor mike huckabee next. ainsley: college swimmers take their sport out of the pool. wow. he is -- is he wearing any clothes? it's freezing.

hillary clinton tried a reset and failed a reseat and why are they so angry somebody else tries it as well? peter: governor mike huckabee joins us this morning. governor, good morning. >> good morning. peter: president-elect trump is looking for a new relationship with russia but the left is freaking out about it, why? >> well, because they didn't win the election and their policies have failed. it failed with russia, it failed in the middle east miserably failed in the middle east. the fact that donald trump says, look, i can deal with these guys because i'm going to go into it with a totally different perspective and appointing rex tillerson, somebody who knows them, that doesn't mean we are going to surrender to russia and russia will deal with a much tougher administration, one that says what it means and means what it says. i think that's exactly how he play it. this administration, the obama

administration has freaked out over the whole election. they want a reset on everything. the reason is they still believe everyone gets a trophy, that you know, you can't lose an election. well, they lost and they are going to learn to get over it bus january 20th, donald trump is going to be president whether they like it or not. steve: it's all about how russia tried to influence our election although there's no proof, everybody says it didn't change any votes, that's for darn sure, they didn't get in the voting machine or anything like that but narrative to try to discredit even though he had a pretty good run in keeping businesses in the united states of america. >> even before he takes office there's already a dramatic turn, look at the stock market, look at how businesses are beginning to see their future, they're anticipating being able to spend cash they sat on because overregulation, overtaxation and

overlitigation causes job migration to other countries. we are going the see the job migration and we already are coming back to the united states because we've set the table for a business banquet. there's a wonderful story, yet another new york restaurant closing because of overregulation. they can't beat the business environment. they can beat their competitors but the number one competitor in business today is not the competition, the number one competitor is government and i think donald trump is going to make dramatic changes and change the rules, that's got to happen in this country. ainsley: to a lot of republicans it sounds promising, he just hopes donald trump is not disappointed. president bush try today reset and listen to this. this is pretty interesting because the democrats are saying they can't believe donald trump is doing this but hillary clinton back in 2009 she also

called for a reset. listen to what she said. i think we have the quote, can i read that? this is it. we are going to hit the reset button and start fresh because clearly the obama administration believes that there are a number of important areas to discuss with the russians, there are also opportunities and we are being extremely vigorous in our outreach, we are turning new pages and resetting buttons an doing all kinds of effort to try to create more partners and fewer adversaries, they were on board when president obama had the idea to reset. >> well, they did but, you know, this is not going to be a time people toast mash -- marshme marshmellows. >> sir, thank you very much for joining us leave. >> thank you.

ainsley: we showed the video of the reset button, remember. how will president obama be remembered. >> i'm absolutely convinced that race relations on the whole are better now -- >> better now? ainsley: is that really true? we are going to debate it i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms.

breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways breo contains a type of medicine to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com.

peter: great wild card weekend is in the books, aaron rogers dominate, they now play the cowboys, fantastic match-up, odell beckham, jr. was so frustrated he punched holes in

the wall. the man right there, antonio brown was unbelievable. pittsburgh dealing with issues after win. assistant coach and player porter arrested and charged with punching a bouncer at a bar. no word on the status for the next game. most trouble off the field there. steve, over to you. steve: thank you very much, peter. as his term nears the end president obama still claiming race relations in america better than ever. >> i am absolutely convinced that race relations on the whole are actually better now than they were. >> they are now? >> yes, but we have greater awareness of where we are falling short than we are used to. we have to recognize -- we've got some big problems on the race just like we have still big problems on crime, just like we have big problems on just about everything. steve: by the way he asked the

question, the follow-up sounded like george did not agree with him. have race relations really improved under president obama? she's on donald trump's inaugural committee, she joins us from chicago, i believe, today and brian benjamin. >> good morning, god bless you and god bless america and i'm in washington, d.c. steve: of course, you are, you're getting ready for the big show. you say relations are much better, why? >> just on the election oh loan speaks to the fact that race are better in the country. in 2007 many thought he couldn't win but clearly the american people showed us we have moved in a long way. if you look at dylann roof, the way they responded, they

responded with kindness and opened their hearts to him and white premises condemned him. i know -- a lot of us like to look at the issues and assume they speak to race, if you look at how the majority responds to some of the issues we are a much more tolerant country than we were eight years ago. steve: do you agree with brian? >> absolutely not. what i would also say look at what is going on with the police, african americans, latinos, when you look at the issues going on, there's a lot of disharmony even on social media, facebook, twitter, instagram, you get situations and arguments between the rakes about the president obama did this, he didn't do this right for me and then you've got the -- many other racists saying he didn't take care of me, and so it's a situation where the

president didn't keep his word to african americans, he didn't keep his word to white americans, he really didn't keep his word across the board. i think we all agree on that. steve: all right. one other topic we wanted you to both weigh in is al sharpton following disobedience for jeff sessions nomination, do you think that's a good idea? >> in the case of jeff sessions, there are a lot of concerns. steve: like what? 20-year-old joke? >> that's a serious issue. >> he needs to come and explain that. the bottom line is that jeff sessions says it's not 20-year-old pick. clearly someone who does not have a clean record someone who has forced civil rights for all

americans, accepting the ku kluz klan is not the attorney general i'm looking for. steve: regarding sharpton's season of civil disobedience, do you think people should go out and sit in traffic and get arrested, stuff like that over this? >> no i don't think that should happen. steve: break the law? >> no, what should happen is the american people should be clear that they're concerned about this and going to dc and marching and going to his office and protesting is all fair game but i don't think we should be having more than that. >> jeff sessions has done so many great things in civil rights. he prosecuted kkk members, we know that he was over at town in alabama which was 75% black where he brought, made sure that grants for manufacturing projects were taken care of as well as waste management issues and the guy 20 years i'm understanding that made the statement ended up being on some

kind of federal charges anyway. >> did he apologize for that? >> he denies ever saying it. >> okay, right. >> why would there ever be an apology? >> of course. >> because somebody makes a statement that you did something, does not mean -- >> why did the republican judiciary deny him? i'm sorry. why did republicans deny him then? >> i would say let me tell you something, i can't tell you why republicans denied him. what i can tell you is this, jeff sessions denies it, the guy who ended up making those statements about him ended up with criminal charges so you make your determination there. steve: i've got a prediction, i have a feeling he's going to win anyway. >> he will. that doesn't mean he should be there. >> absolutely. what you have to do is respect the leadership. >> looking forward to that day. steve: you'll see it right here on fox.

>> have a great day, god bless you all. steve: god bless you both. have a great week. there you go. on this monday, it made international headlines when a gang of thieves robbed kim kardashian at gunpoint. now a major break. what about the awards? we have some winners and we have some losers coming up and trump just tweeted about meryl streep, we will tell you about that. first happy birthday to dutches of cambridge, kate middleton is 35. ever try something so good,

[laughter] steve: that's funny. stop. this morning when we were talking in the 4:00 o'clock hour on what would be on the program, i would expect donald trump's first tweet about 6:35. i was off by five minutes.

donald trump has just tweeted regarding the golden globes. ainsley: that's right talking about meryl streep, she's not a big fan. meryl streep, one of the most overrated actresses in hollywood doesn't know me. attack at the golden globe she's a dot, dot, dot, which means -- steve: there's another tweet coming. ainsley: we are waiting on him. he's holding -- he wants you to be in suspense. peter: when we get that, we will bring it to you. steve: what's next on fox, dot, dot, that's michael tamara, he traded in tuxedo for a v-neck t-shirt. tell us about the wincers and losers. >> who knew they gave out awards last night? you never would have known it. they did celebrate the best in television last night and for those who didn't catch it, this is what went down.

>> and the golden globe goes to? >> la la land. >> hit hollywood musical la la land winning all seven nominated awards. ryan gosseling and emma stone. >> that was just and being surrounded by people like emma and ryan and my crew. >> first time host jimmy fallon opened the ceremony with the la la theme musical along with several a-list friends but things got awkward to teleprompter malfunction. i can do impressions. what can we do here?

then i said my entire speech to meryl streep. i was looking right at her. i was looking am i doing good. >> nominee meryl streep took the stage to accept her lifetime achievement award and political in her speech. >> disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. >> tribute to kelly fisher and carrii reynolds. >> academy awards will be announced on tuesday january 24th, nominations will be. steve: la la land the early favorite. michael tamara thank you very much for spending all that time with the stars. >> tough job but someone has to do it, steve. steve: as we introduce michael we said that donald trump had been up tweeting this morning.

we have part two of the tweet. peter: we only had to wait a couple of minutes. ainsley: we don't know, it could be four or five. peter: material strep overrated actresses in hollywood doesn't know me but attacked me at the golden globes and she's a dot, dot, hillary flunky who big, simply showed him many dot, dot, so i presume we are waiting -- ainsley: part three. steve: it's coming, could be a part four. ainsley: in the meantime we will hand it over to heather with headlines. heather: shooter will be in court for the first time today, esteban santiago now fazing the death penalty. massacre taking place, we want to warn you, this is disturbing to watch.

befi was active.gia, i was energetic. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. he also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better.

whatever they want and you get a liberal judge, like here in new york and sometimes they'll give them 10 months, 15 months when it can be sentenced up to 20 years. it's about time that the minimum is five years. you know, harry reid should be ashamed of himself. i'm hoping that chuck schumer steps up and gets on board with the president elect and congress and passes this bill. ainsley: they're criminals because they are in the country illegally and committing crimes and staying behind bars ten months an not enough time and not being deported back to their country, will it pass? >> i think so. now that we control, the republicans controls, i believe it'll pass. there's got to be some compromise, you know, chuck schumer can't fight -- ainsley: real quickly, what does donald trump need to do to fix the immigration problem here? >> well, the task force that he spoke about in arizona, a

fantastic idea. the model that we had here in new york for many, in years and still exists today unfortunately it's a sanctuary city here, but if you follow that model and create the task force like he spoke about, you not only make america great again but america safe again because letting these criminals out, we have enough people born here that are criminals. what happens is the criminals come from all over the world into our country illegally and commit crimes. we don't need them here. we need to get rid of them and that's what this bill addresses. illegal reentry into the united states, you know if you come back you're going to get five years minimum in prison. ainsley: thank you so much for being with us this morning. kellyanne conway is here, we are going to have her at the top of the hour.

[laughter] so hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if we kick them all out you will have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts which are not the arts.

this brings me to the press. we need the principled press to hold power to account. to call them on the carpet for every outrage. [applause] because we will need them going forward. and they will need us to safeguard the truth. steve: so, press out there, hold his feet to the fire. plus, your boss has been the twoing this morning. let's look at three panels. first up, donald trump wrote this. >> he wrote this morning, meryl streep one of the most overrated actresses in hollywood doesn't know me but attacked last night at the golden globes. she is a, went on to say, hillary flungky who lost big for the 100th time. i never mocked the disabled reporter. showed him groveling that totally changed 16-year-old story in order to make me look bad. very dishonest media. ainsley: kelly what is your reaction. >> i'm glad meryl streep has

such a passion for the disabled because i didn't hear her weigh in or even use her platform, ainsley to give the shoutout to the mentally challenged boy tortured life on facebook for half an hour, by four young african-american adults who were screaming racial and anti-trump expletives around forcing him to put his head in toilet water. i want to hear from her today, if she wants to come to continue platform on behalf of the disabled. donald trump is absolutely right. he debunked this so many times. she sounds like 2014. the election is over. she lost. he is absolutely right about something, all everybody in that audience very few exceptions was a single myopic mind how they want the election to go, how they expected the election to go. they lost. i wish she would have said i didn't like the election results. he is our president and we'll support him. this is hollywood. i think we're there as self-pity, a lot more

platform like meryl streep is also, i think inciting people's worst instincts, when she won't get up there and say, i didn't like it, but let's try to support him and see where we can find some common ground which he has done from moment one. the moment he won he said i will be president of all people. ainsley: what is the flip side, what do you tell your daughters about hillary clinton lied. >> it is not nice to lie. 62% of americans found she was not honest or trustworthy. those watching still talking about the campaign. meryl streep and hollywood are talking about that. we're trying to get our cabinet appointees confirmed. we deserve that respect and president-elect deserves that type of swift action because senator mcconnell, majority leader mcconnell is right, on day one, inauguration day, 2009, eight years ago the senate confirmed seven, later that week five more and 13 additional appointees by voice vote.

chuck schumer said they will get in the way of any supreme court nominee, before you know their name or what they will say in the hearing? this is not a functioning democracy make. steve: senate republicans are doing their best to make sure donald trump has his team on day one. >> yes. steve: to your point, barack obama had his team on day one. that is the way it work. >> the way government has to function. go back to 2001, where president george w. bush had just endured a bruising election result where went all the way to supreme court. took five extra weeks to get a president, yet able to get nine of his cabinet appointees including the secretary of state defense, commerce, treasury, ag, education. this is the way the government must function. i think the democrats will overplay their hand here. they will be blamed just as they were blamed in last couple election cycles on government-run health care, overplaying on ridiculous regulations, overplaying on

taxes. they will be blamed. we won't be blamed. we're putting people up there. our cabinet designees have answered in their, they have had about 70 hours of mock sessions. they have answered over 2hundred questions and met with 87 united states senator, including 3democrats. ainsley: what questions do they ask? >> anything from the substance of the job they will be doing in their respective agencies and departments. steve: tell me about vladmir putin, and why you're such good friends, mr. tillerson. >> that may have been raised. it is routinely raised in media. that is where a lot of staffers get their questions. they probably took copious notes from the golden globes. they were asked questions on political media access. we know politics on fuss full display on the confirmation hearings. people will try to get their 15 minutes of fame. >> politics on display. chuck schumer and

elizabeth warren you can talking about the government ethics office and they haven't filled out paperwork. senator mcconnell called it procedural issue. happened in the past that it wasn't all done. they are wealthy individuals without much government background. this is a scandal here? >> this is not a scandal. wildly successful businessmen and business women like linda mcmahon and wilbur ross, steve minute knew chin, these people created tens of thousands of jobs, taken companies with a infusion of cash and leadership and creativity brought them around benefited economy and individual workers. takes time to get the paperwork. filled out my clearance information, you have to remember everywhere you have traveled, who was there, with whom you have met. so that is just timing and process issue. nobody should use it as excuse,

pete, to hold up functioning of government. other thing i point out, democrats demanded financial information and tax returns from these cabinet nominees and agencies designees is not in the normal course. they want to see what america to see what they have. political peeping toms into tax records of people. ainsley: you don't have to give out that information. >> we're looking a the that. steve: hey, your new boss didn't file -- >> which america knew because it was asked six weeks and sundays on every talk show, they voted for him anyway. steve: yesterday president obama on the george stephanopoulos show, that donald trump has just enough craziness to do the job. when you look at the job donald trump is doing, it looks like in the early, he isn't even president yet, but looks like, his influence has caused chrysler fiat to spend a billion dollars in this country and

retool two big plants to make trucks for jeep here. >> that used to be made in mexico. >> that is called the trump effect. we've seen it with deferral different and varied industry leaders, you can look at eye, hope you have them on set and on camera, many women who benefit from the policies who will be employed. a lot of carrier families had much better christmas and holidays, lady and gentlemen, because of trump working with private industry in that regard. on matter of president saying he has enough craziness i'm not sure what that means. but president-elect trump certainly had abundance of connection with the american people. donald trump proved he understood america. he went into places uncomfortable with republican candidates. he went to black churches. he talked to unions. spoke to hispanics and asian-americans and single moms, even though the polling said they're not your voters. he took messages there.

president obama must be aware that president-elect trump took over 200 obama counties are now president trump counties. he won over 2hundred counties. won 31 of 50 states. i don't know about the specific comment. he has a great mandate. those winning the popular vote, please let us know what is prize for winning popular point. i have not yet found it. >> talking point prize. steve: he won it fair and square way out. >> president obama using that word just enough creativity and just enough imperviousness to naysayers and critics. donald trump had the courage to run in the first place, moxie to see it through. as a member of trump team you have to focus and be completely impervious to everyone around you saying you can't win pennsylvania. you will bring the house and senate down with you. you will be laughingstock and never work in this town again. you have to be a bit graceful and forgiving of those who said

that, including those in your own party. he has all the skillsets in great abundance and unprecedented business acumen and brillance after successful job creator. >> speaking of that, the folks are saying toughest confirmation could be rex tillerson. ainsley: or jeff sessions. >> or jeff sessions. any concerns about the tillerson confirmation. >> i don't have concerns about his qualification. >> votes. >> looks like democrats will go full on with obstruction, and trying to embarass some of these nominees. people should be reminded what is the purpose of these confirmation hearings. is it to play gotcha? is it swift sound bite for the crawl? steve: it is politics. >> politics. we need them confirmed. rex tillerson is absolutely brilliant i had occasion to work with him. he will do well as will jeff

confirming that emails from hillary clinton were accessed by foreign governments. steve: that is how they got in. why it hit the fan is john podesta's password was password and julian assange said, a 14-year-old could have hacked into it. the russians did, maybe? don't know. >> democrats are blaming donald trump for this saying that he won because russia was able to hack in, yet his password is password. who is to blame there? >> exactly. trump is pushing back, there is something to the fact that clearly dnc and democrats were reckless and careless and private serve verse and passwords of password and clicking on phishing emails. doesn't mean russia is not nefarious and trying to change things. democrats are vulnerable and gave information away to foreign government. >> james comey chose not to indict. loretta lynch agreed with that the pages are being released slowly and quietly. steve: straight ahead on this

steve, over to you. steve: thank you very much. president-elect donald trump signaling he is readying for a good relationship with russia. been a while since we've had one, tweeting this weekend, having a good relationship with russia is good thing, not a bad thing, only stupid people or fools would think it is bad. we have enough problems around the world without yet another one. when i am president russia will respect us far more than they do now. both countries will perhaps, work together to solve many great and pressing problems an issues of the world. but yet, the left is outraged, why? because let's try to figure that out. fair and balanced debate. we have retired navy seal carl higbie right over there and former cia operative, brian wright. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. steve: essentially donald trump wants to continue to do the same thing that hillary clinton and barack obama tried years ago, to have good relations. >> only successfully. steve: they tried the russian receipt during the obama

administration. brian, it doesn't work. what is the matter with trump trying the same thing? >> a lot happened in the past six years, and past year in particular we've seen the intelligence community say very clearly that the russians have done a number of bad things to our democracy not only emails but covert influence program to try to hammer our election and democracy. steve: try to. >> right. >> no evidence that is worked. >> completely agreed. what is the matter with having a good relationship? not like we're hopping into a hot tub with them, but you have to have help fighting isis. >> we're fighting a cold war in syria, seven or eight forces none of which is in a vacuum. we can't solve a problem until russia and america are fighting for the same goal in the same region. leave assad there, take him out, we need to be on the same page. we can't fight on that. >> i agree with syria.

we need to reprioritize what we're doing in this country. you can't ignore the fact that russia is doing terrible things around the world. >> they are. >> we need to go in clear headed, and in international affairs you don't have anything like a friendship, only interests. work with the russians where it makes sense. but we must stand up to them in places like united states where they hack and hit or electoral process. >> russia doesn't respect us or fear us. after the last eight years our respect in the world stage gone down dramatically. russia needs to respect us. world leaders don't know what trump is going to do. steve: information released last week from the intel committees was the fact we've known for years russia has been doing this just in the last week or so that the obama administration on the way out the door, before we before we'll let them have it. >> i hear the point. steve: the point is the obama administration had the chance to shut this down and did nothing.

>> i will agree with you, that we had opportunity to do something year plus ago, we didn't do it. fair enough. moving forward i think it is all recognize in fact i would love to hear president trump say, i don't care if the russians thing i will be their puppet. if they do, i will show precisely what i showed 17 republicans in the primary and one cranky democrat that i bow to no one and america bows to no one. if he said that i would feel much better about the president-elect. >> mainstream media are saying he is friends of vladmir putin and illegitimate, barack obama you just said had the chance to should it down aer. >> ago. >> why is it so bad to be friends with putin. he doesn't share our values. why is it bad we don't have a good relationship with him? we need that relationship to move forward in the world. >> we need cooperative relationships all over the world, absolutely. i don't think you walk into the relationship thinking he will be

a friend or can have a food productive relationship. >> i think a good productive relationship between trump and putin as long as putin knows we're not the puppet. we don't do anythingthings on his terms but america's terms. steve: last eight years it was a cakewalk for putin. he got whatever he wanted. >> they are trying to hit trump and tillerson in russian cabinet. we want people to have ties over there so they understand how the sim works. >> we could have done things differently in the ukraine. when we and european union tried to take ukraine. that was dumb. steve: we didn't do anything. >> foolish we tried process to pull it away from russians. syria, no reason to put our own rebels into the country. that was stupid. putin made up fortunately good points about libya and iraq. we shouldn't have gone into those nations causing instability out in the region. there are things we can agree with mr. putin. that is fine. when somebody attacking american democracy i think our president

just this last year, secretary mcdonald compared wait times at va to those at disneyland. as recently as december your station reported va facilities had one to five star rating system. va jointed countless facilities at bottom of the list with one star ratings. sloan gibson, we're supposed to believe him in "stars and stripes" article that eliminating bonuses reduces hiring. how about eliminating constant scandals involving administrators. pete: if the current system continues through 2019, up to $160 million could be given out in bonuses without tied to performance. sloan gibson said any restriction on bonuses counterproductive and unwarranted. how can it be counterproductive to with hold bonuses that aren't earned? doesn't performance have to matter? why would the leader of va defend bonuses that are not justified? >> secretary mcdonald said we

brian: plus, how dare you, america. you just ruined meryl streep's lifetime achievement award by reducing to elect her friend hillary clinton. the accepted speech that everybody will be talking about today for all the wrong reasons. we'll talk about it for the right reasons on the curvy couch. mornings better with you. better with friends. thanks for being here. ♪ ♪ steve: this is my country and this is the band that's performing at donald trump's inauguration. brian: that's right that's palm meadow bridge high school. from their naples, florida. we talked to the principal and one of the band members, and they will be performing on inauguration day. ainsley: and go to our website because we have linked -- what is it called?

a gofundme page to this band so that you can help them get to washington. because it's expensive. it's more than $100,000. how much did they say? steve: 135,000 to send the band there and unlike other bands that are getting online pressure. hey, maybe from meryl streep. hey, you can't show up at donald trump's inauguration. this band is going because everything it represents. brian: and we talked to one of the band members. and clearly not everyone here would have voted for donald trump but this is not about politics. it's about our country. ainsley: it's about a road trip for high school students. brian: that's actually probably more correct. steve: yeah. brian: it's a bit of history. so anyway, we're going to actually hear from the band coming up live at the end of this program. they're going to play an entire song, so stay tuned for that. but in the meantime, we're going to tucker carlson who tonight 11 hours from right now takes control of the 9:00 p.m. time slot. good morning, tucker. >> it's 11 hours.

steve: are you excited? are you a little nervous? what's going on inside tucker's head? >> well, you know. you having done it much longer than i have. you're in a studio in front of a cameraman, and it feels great. i'm trying to think of anything bigger than that. totally excited. ainsley: you did great in the dress rehearsal. it's 7:00, so we're excited for you. let's talk about what's happening in washington today. confirmationhearings all this week i should say. not today. they're starting tomorrow. so the democrats are really upset. people are mad because they're saying that some of these folks haven't completed their ethics reviews, which means they throughout these forms of who they've given money not past, what their bank holdings are, that kind of thing. democrats are saying we need to see that before we confirm these guys. what's your opinion? brian: that's a diversion. a totally fair point. you ought to know who your cabinet secretaries are, and they ought to have gone through fbi background checks and assess their ethics. these are long-standing

traditions of course. but this is really about jeff sessions. make no mistake at all. it's about the attorney general, which is the most significant appointment the president will make for a bunch of different reasons and of course has been vetted. he's been in senate for a long time, the fbi has vetted him. so there's no question about his bon him. they just don't like his views and especially don't like his views on immigration. and they're not going to attack his views because it's much where the public is. secure the borders. people agree with him. so they're going to attack him as they always do wait for it -- as a racist. that's what they're doing now. by the way, there's no evidence of it, and it's bad for the country, but that's all they've gotten, so that's what you're going to hear. steve: uh-huh and of course the democrats are bringing up what are has depicted as a joke like 30 years ago that he

made as an example he's racist. but here's the thing, tucker. because the democrats changed the rules a number of years ago, all of these guys are going to get through and the democrats have only themselves to blame. >> that's right. of course. the democrats change the rule, so you need a simple majority. tillerson, you're hearing a couple of republicans specifically john mccain and lindsey graham saying wait a second. we need to know his ties to russia. he ran the biggest oil company in the world. what brothers me about this is i think the country could use a debate on immigration and trade and those are the two issues that, you know, people are actually upset about. but, again, we're not getting that. where instead you're going to hear all kinds of implications about the character of these people. let's debate the issues. these are real issues. and i think all of us would benefit from an adult conversation, but we're not going to get it. >> tucker, if i know anything

about you, you love the golden globes. america will soon that know about you. and speeches, this is the first big event like that since donald trump was elected. meryl streep got a lifetime achievement world but used it to bash donald trump unsurprisingly. take a look what she had to say. >> all of us in this room belong to the most vilified segments in american society right now. think about it. hollywood, foreigners, and the press. so hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. and if we kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts. but there was one performance this year that stunned me. it was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter. this brings me to the press.

we need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage. because we're going to need them going forward, and they'll need us to safeguard the truth. steve: so there is will it she is, tucker, telling the hollywood press. you need to hold mr. trump accountable, unlike what you did with barack obama for the last eight years. >> right. and here you have a rich entitled person describing herself as an outsider, an outcast. >> exactly the opposite. >> she doesn't like trump. that's completely fine. you're allowed to feel that way. but what i was so struck by, she was telling the crowd exactly what they wanted to hear. she was saying things that are totally uncontroversial within the context she was speaking. that's the least courageous thing you could do. i mean, you've seen people jump up and say wow she's speaking saying speak the power. to jump up in a room of

liberals and say liberal things, it would be cool to say something they disagreed with. that would be a moment. it just annoys me not even her political view which whatever. but it annoys me that she gets away with pretending to be some sort of outcast or outsider. she's literally the opposite. meryl streep. one of the most famous people in the world, best paid people in the world. you're not an outside. and when rich people get to describe themselves as victims which the current president of the united states often does, it devalues the term. steve: yeah, the media continues to be at it. not just the golden globes but around what donald trump is accomplishes. another car manufacturer deciding to build here in the united states as opposed to in mexico and that comes as a string of others have decided to do the same because of a friendly business climate. however, now like ap, the associated press has articles like this.

i've got to read a quote from one of their recent articles. it hits us like a bucket of cold water. talking about mexico here. mexican workers. it hits them like cold water. the younger generation would be hurt most by cancellations like this. they were already dreaming to go there to that ford plant moving from mexico to the united states. and at the last minute, there's nothing. so you have stories about the impact on mexico without as much coverage of -- ainsley: they feel sorry for the mexicans that are losing their jobs to americans. it's just -- reminds me like the sanctuary cities. democrats are so worried about protecting the people in sanctuary cities meanwhile what about the americans that have the right to be here like kate who was killed by one of these? it's like the wrong focus here. >> well, of course. i'm glad that they're finally admitting there are losers in trade deals, though. look, we've had nafta for almost 25 years. you haven't seen 25 years of continuous coverage of the effect of manufacturing or any of our trade deals. that's all been ignored and

we've been told sort of endlessly this propaganda, we're all winning from this. everybody is a beneficiary. and that's just a lie. you know, you could argue that maybe nafta was worth it. but you can't pretend that there was no cost to americans because there was of course. and the press has ignored that. so for me for them to say, oh, my gosh all of a sudden we're discovering there's a downside to a trade arrangement and mexico is being hurt, it really is a parody. steve: tucker, just while you were talking at the very conclusion, a banner popped up below your face that shows you, tucker carlson tonight. says you're moving to 9:00 p.m. eastern starting tonight. we should point out that bret baier is going to have a two-hour show from 6:00 to 8:00 and then o'reilly and then you. you're going to do some interviews. and this is new for prime time. you're going to do a half hour of cooking. that's very brave. >> and where do you think i learned my skills, steve, by

the way? steve: fox and friends. >> i trained by the best. steve: look at your face in the bottom and the pocket square. it looks like a crown on the head. >> i can't see it but thank you. ainsley: it does. off to the side. you know what's great, tucker? fox promotes within. you've really earned it. >> well, they certainly do that. and they're the most -- i've worked a lot of places. this is the most supportive by far. no comparison in the best way. steve: and the mission statement of your show for folks who only watch fox news at night is what? who you -- what's your message when you do your show? >> well, i want to ask the questions that you would ask if you had the chance to ask them you know? and not sucking up but ask the sincere questions not gotcha questions or designed to hurt people or trip them up but a sincere question and press until you get the answer. steve: who's on tonight, tucker? >> i can't tell you that. secret all-star lineup. actually, it's going to be

great, and i can say that with total sincerity. i'm scared if i say it out loud, the person will cancel. ainsley: weekend fox and friends, she has done the morning right after our show, she's going to 7:00, you're going to 9:00. what's your advice? >> advice for martha? ainsley: yeah. >> i have no -- martha is the most talented tv person. boy, i'm asking advice from her. there's no way. ainsley: no, i'm not talking about -- clearly she trumps you, tucker. i'm just kidding. i'm really kidding. y'all are both amazing. but i'm talking about the schedule. is it much different? what do you have to do to prepare? >> i think it's great because you have all day. you can exercise and go to lunch, you can see your family, and you can think about it. no, i'm serious. you can think about it all day long. ainsley: what do you do to exercise. >> the treadmill for half hour. nothing hard as you can tell. steve: you know, tucker, the great thing about you, you're only going to do one hour.

you could have a full-time job during the day. >> i know i could be like a fireman. i could start selling tile or something. i may do that. steve: yeah, do 224s. ainsley: janice's husband is a firefighter. she'll teach you. steve: i love your tease for the show. >> i want to tell you what's in it. it's great. steve: that's because they haven't booked a show yet. >> we have until 9:00. ainsley: janice and heather are over there supporting you. >> please send my love. brian: thanks, tucker. steve: tune in tonight 9:00 p.m. eastern. ainsley: it's not over yet. a new round of clinton e-mails were released while you were sleeping. coming up next with the breaking details. steve: and do you remember this mix-up at last year's ms. universe pageant? >> i have to apologize. ms. universe 2015.

steve: will steve harvey blow it again this year? ainsley: i love steve harvey. they're here to talk about it straight ahead. epic miss is there an elk in your bed? with sleep number, there's an adjustment for that. tilt your tormentor and put those snores to sleep. does your bed do that? come into a sleep number store and save $600 on our best selling mattress. it's a no brainer.

...better than a manual, and my hygienist says it does. but... ...they're not all the same. turns out, they're really... ...different. who knew? i had no idea. so, she said look for... ...one that's shaped like a dental tool with a round... ...brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head surrounds each tooth to... ...gently remove more plaque and... ...oral-b crossaction is clinically proven to... ...remove more plaque than sonicare diamondclean.

my mouth feels so clean. i'll only use an oral-b! the #1 brand used by dentists worldwide. oral-b. brush like a pro. . steve: well, while millions of

americans were watching football last night or the golden globes, the fbi quietly released 300 never before seen pages of hillary clinton's e-mail records. this is their fifth sneaky document dump. ainsley: ed henry joins us live from washington d.c. with what exactly is inside this document dump. hello, ed. >> good morning, guys. you have to wonder why they would want to put it out in the middle of all those major events like the nfl playoffs and the golden globes as you mentioned. well, it turns out the hundreds of pages show sharp agreements between the fbi as they launch their criminal investigation of hillary clinton back in 2015, disagreements with state department officials who the fbi in these records could you say of shopping around different intelligence agencies to get a favorable opinion of whether hillary clinton's e-mails should have been classified or not. so the state department trying to do her bidding. one page from these records saying quote this is an e-mail from an fbi official to other officials.

you're about to get drug into an issue on classification of the clinton e-mails. forum shopping i believe this official said. i'll call you and give you some info. and then they asked if you could call and all the rest of the information is redacted. this from april of 2015. now, a second document from this dump is very interesting because it suggestions that contrary to what the clinton campaign was saying again and again. that no foreign hostile actors got into this e-mail server of hillary clinton. wait a second. these records maybe show otherwise. one document saying quote the fbi did find that hostile foreign actors successfully gained access to the personal e-mail accounts of individuals associated with whom clinton was in regular contact. and in doing so, obtained e-mails sent to or received by clinton on her personal account. that is from july 2016. so that is the bottom line point here. these fbi records dumped out late on a sunday night suggest

that foreign actors, hostile to the u.s. government did get into that server into the accounts of others that hillary clinton was e-mailing. that is the opposite of what the campaign was saying throughout, guys. steve: it was. but then again when your password is password, it's kind of easy to hack. podesta. password. all right. ed, thank you very much. >> thank you. ainsley: do you remember this mix up at last year's ms. universe pageant? >> i have to apologize. ms. universe 2015. ainsley: so she did win after all. the question is will steve harvey -- i hate to read this because i love him. is he going to blow it again this year, though? steve: we'll be watching. ainsley: we're going to have ms. universe along with ms. can usa. there they are live in our greenroom, we're going to bring them into the studio in just a minute.

steve: all right. ms. universe and ms. moss moment but first some headlines. the suspect seen in terrifying video stocking and tracking the u.s. consulate member has been arrested. special forces taking the gunman who is an american citizen into custody. the victim is expected to be okay. and the confessed killer who went on a rampage, a shooting one at ft. lauderdale's airport on friday in court for the first time today. esteban santiago faces the death penalty. this is brand-new chilling video obtained by tmz shows the massacre. we want to warn you, it's disturbing from surveillance

cameras. he just pulls it from his waistband and starts shooting people in the head. five people killed in that attack at ft. lauderdale. all right. pete, ainsley, over to you. brian: it's the moment everyone remembers from last year's ms. universe competition. it was probably this one. >> i have to apologize. the first runner up is columbia. ms. universe 2015. ainsley: wow steve harvey will have another chance to get it right because he's going to be hosting again on january 29th and here to tell us all about it is the rank ms. universe. the one who thought she lost, she actually won, and then we also have ms. usa deshauna

barber who has been on the show before. we asked you during the break and we asked you what that moment has been like. and you said you mostly forgot. >> yeah. it has been a year. and i was, like, oh, that happened. i forgot about it already. we've all moved on, and we're all doing pretty well, i think. i know. i know. brian: i'm sure you are. absolutely. well, deshauna, you were ms. usa, you'll be competing in the ms. universe pageant. >> yes. my platform i'll be continuing is post traumatic stress disorder. i'm pushing people to make sure they take care of our soldiers and make sure they have what they need for mental and emotional battles. brian: because you are one. >> yes. correct. brian: what's your background in the military? >> i'm a captain, recent captain, i command a unit out of fort meade.

ainsley: will you do the 20 years? >> i'm hoping. you know, at this point, it's kind of the sky's the limit, so i'm just kind of taking one day at a time. ainsley: that's great. she's the first active military member to ever become ms. usa. congratulations on that. >> thank you. ainsley: i can speak for all of our viewers who are very pleased with that. >> thank you. ainsley: thank you for serving our country. >> thank you. ainsley: so what happened with you after the pageant on january 29th? what are you going to do? >> i've been asked this question so many times. but i'm very blessed that i still have a lot of work lined up even after the competition. that's happening this month. and i'm just going to continue on working. i'll still be working closely with ms. universe and -- there's a lot in store, so i just want people to watch. ainsley: i have to brag on you a little bit. one of my friends is from the philippines, and she just loves you and talked about you a lot. you grew up 11 years old, and you started your modeling career, and you were the breadwinner in your family; right?

>> yeah. that's right. and it's not uncommon for -- in the philippines for the children to help out for their families. ainsley: but to be the breadwinner at 11 years old, it makes us realize how grateful we are here in america. >> yeah. and i think that that taught me, you know, a lot of things and i -- you know, in the philippines, it's a lot of people are like me. a lot of kids are like me. i think a lot of people can relate to that. and i think it has helped with my maturity and for me joining the competition. brian: an incredible example. you're competing in the ms. usa pageant, which is january 29th on fox. >> yes. brian: what are you doing right now to get prepared? >> i'm doing a lot of things, i have a auctioning coach, an interview coach, i have a lot of people on my team who are helping me prepare for this moment. i'm just incredibly excited -- brian: although said you're pretty good on the answers. >> oh, yeah, she's pretty good. she's being modest.

[laughter] it is i think for everyone in pageantry, you have 30 seconds to answer a question that you're not prepared for, it could be a little bit heart racing. ainsley: do you need another walking coach? my daughter loves to -- >> i would love that. i'm sure she could help me. [laughter] ainsley: actually, we need the name of your coach probably. well, that's so great. we wish you all the best. we will be watching on january 29th. brian: good examples. certainly coming for you. active duty service member in the pageant is cool to see. so thank you for your work as well as on post traumatic stress. ainsley: well, maybe you'll be coming back on the 30th after you have won the crown. >> yes. it will take a day to get back so probably the 31st. ladies. >> thank you. ainsley: coming up a brand-new scandal rocking the va after it shows va employees got paid millions in taxpayer dollars for no reason at all. should they be able to keep that money? brian: how about no.

but on other story, celebrity joining forces for a moving tribute to their hero. president obama. >> i never cried before from election result. >> when i was at the un, and i, you know, i heard our president say that climate change is the most important issue facing not only this generation but all future generations, it was inspiring. brian: stroke your goatee. it sounds more thoughtful. don't cry. tom is here to help console those tough celebrities that are distraught. come back for his analysis. americans - 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day men's complete with key nutrients we may need. plus heart-health support with b vitamins. one a day men's in gummies and tablets.

after becoming one of the largest broadband companies in the country. after expanding our fiber network coast to coast. these are the places we call home. we are centurylink. we believe in the power of the digital world. the power to connect. and that's what drives us everyday.

>> all of us in this room

really belong to the most vilified segments in american society right now. think about it. hollywood. foreigners, and the press. so hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. and if we kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts are naught. the r. but there was one performance this year that stunned me. it was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter. this brings me to the press. we need the principled press to hold power to account to call them on the carpet for every outrage. because we're going to need them going forward. and they'll need us to safeguard the truth. steve: okay. not surprising. the first red carpet event last night since trump won was

the golden globes and tom, the guy from red eye. what did you make of meryl streep last night? >> wow football and mma. what are they going to go after next? hot dogs, apple pie, and chevrolet? >> who watches football? >> it's unbelievable. hollywood celebrities are really special. that's what i learned last night because they have a perfect mixtures of superiority and victim hood. she said we're the most vilified people and then goes on a rant about how middle americans don't know anything about the world. steve: i think she's disappointed donald trump won. greatly disappointed. she's really disappointed that middle america, who you're just talking about, voted for him. >> that's it. it's the idea that they feel so put upon that people don't appreciate them. and she is -- she's a great celebrity. i watch -- everyone loves meryl streep. i've been watching her since i was a kid. french lieutenant's woman and then she gives this speech and talks about donald trump.

it's such a waste. who -- ainsley: i know it's her lifetime achievement award too. i was thinking it's the ones who have been in hollywood for a long time who feel the need to get up there and tell their opinion. they're so excited, they want to thank their mom and god and their wife, she's done it, she's done it so many times, she's worth so much money, and it's middle america that has supported her career and allowed her to have this big bank account. >> yeah. i think that that's what they don't understand is that, you know, they keep making these videos as if we don't know which side they're on. and, you know, the "they" act it's all about donald trump. but then the thing is they act that they're right from the beginning. they don't even try to convince us. we see video after video of these celebrities and they're not talking about policy, they're not talking about what they believe in. they're not trying to show us how to feel. they're just acting as if one half of the country is bad. steve: that's right. well, speaking of these videos, there was another one made by white house celebrities that

had just attended or were going to attend that last party at the white house for his friend. we'll play another video that you're referring to that makes the same point. take a listen. >> knocking on the oval office window, i would say that was the peak of my entire existence. >> i never cried before from a election result. >> you felt those first three words we, the people. it was one of those first times in my life that i really felt i was part of that we. >> the moment that we got the affordable care act passed because i have relatives that can't afford health insurance. so it was really a great thing to know that something happened to them. they got cared for. >> when he just changed all the rules on the table in regards to cuba. with the most motivation imaginable, which is what we've been doing hasn't worked. which made all the sense in the world. >> when i was at the un, and i, you know, i heard our president say that climate change is the most important

issue facing. not only this generation but all future generations, it was inspiring. >> yes. hollywood's going to miss them. >> they already are. but they don't have to because they're going to see them. they'll be around. he's one of them now. steve: speaking of videos, i saw it yesterday morning i was looking at the twitter sphere and your program put out kind of the antivideo of the celebrity video talking about how important it was to shut down trump. >> was it the antivideo? we thought we would give them advice. we thought since celebrities were always giving us advice, we would give them advice. steve: if you haven't seen it yet, here's 36 seconds of it. >> dear celebrities, dear celebrities. >> dear celebrities. >> dear celebrities. >> stop. >> stop. >> stop making these videos. no one asked you to make them. >> no one. >> and very few people seem to like them. yet you keep making them.

and it's theirs. steve: we're going to be watching tonight. it's in the dead of night, but it's a great show. it's called red eye. >> is it the dead of night? >> for some it is. ainsley: it's early morning for us" tom thanks. ainsley: thanks, oh, wait you have to turn to the side. let's send it over to headline who has some headlines. >> thanks, tom. good morning, everybody, we have some breaking news right now. iran provoking ow u.s. naval one. the u.s. naval destroyer, the uss man fired three warning shots at four iranian ships. those ships were told were closing in at a high rate of speed, this happening, they did not slow down despite radio warnings and also flares being fired off. this comes nearly a year after iran took our sailors hostage, forcing them to their knees. this is a breaking story. it is still unfolding.

steve: pointing the spotlight on mental methamphetamine a bipartisan issue, one that congressman tim murphy has been fighting for until last month when he and his colleagues helped pass a new reform law. but are democrats playing politics by watering it down? let's ask the sponsor of the

healthy families in mental health crisis act congressman murphy of pennsylvania. congressman, thank you very much for joining us. first let's talk a little bit about this man, esteban santiago. i mean, the fbi's got a lot of explaining to do because he -- you know, he talked to the fbi, he said i've got voices in my head, they're telling me that the government wants me to watch these isis videos, you know, and they gave him the gun back after holding it for a couple of weeks and that's the one he used to kill those people down in florida. >> that's right. look at the pieces here. the fbi and other law enforcement on agencies, they look upon and say, well, they don't see the isis risk but that doesn't mean there was no risk. and the mental health community may say, well, we don't see a particular risk because we don't see it meets the eminent danger standards standards. that doesn't mean there's no danger or law enforcement before when he strangled his wife as e.

but that doesn't mean the danger left. steve: so now fast-forward the last couple of months, they passed your bill. congratulations. it was supposed to be bipartisan but the democrats it appears tried to water down one of the requirements on how to have somebody committed. explain what happened. >> well, we ended up with overwhelming for the support when it came to the house 4/22/2 but we couldn't get an agreement to change the standard of commitment the need for treatment versus eminent danger. that standard has been in place for a century or so. in other words, you almost have to be caught in the act of pointing a gun at someone or threatening to kill someone. a need for treatment standard means you have a lot of evidence there that means there's something seriously wrong and this person can benefit from treatment. here's why it's important in this case. a person with delusional behavior or serious mental illness who is not in treatment and who has a history of violence is 15 times more likely to engage in

violence than someone who is not. we also have another department. that was where a judge could say you have to stay in treatment and another part of the hipaa law. so families could be approached upon discharge saying here's the problem. but that got blocked to. steve: well, congressman, forget about the fbi. yeah, we did talk to him. yeah, we kept his gun for four weeks, and then we gave it back, and he was hearing voices. his own family said when he came back from war, he just wasn't all there. >> well, that's the big question. did each part talk to the other? and with the hipaa privacy laws, many times doctors, someone else will not call a family member and say tell us what you know so we can put these pieces together. and worse yet, upon discharge they may not tell a family member here's the problem. make sure he stays in treatment. steve: unfortunately, five people are dead. >> that's right. steve: and there's going to be an investigation but still. could have been prevented, perhaps. had what you wanted gone in effect. congressman murphy from the

great state of pennsylvania. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you, steve. we'll stay at this. steve: you bet. ten minutes until the top of the hour. celebrities won't do it but these guys do. up next meet the marching band proud to perform at president trump's inauguration. but this morning, he's already back with what's coming up at the top of the hour. here's martha mcallen. hey, martha. >> good morning. we've got a big week for the transition of power. nine important hearings and a trump press conference. we do expect a lot of fireworks. we'll tell you what the flash points are likely toll and the intel committee chair said a leak must have come from the obama administration. sean spicer is here with more on that and tucker carlson moves to 9:00 p.m. tonight. we welcome him here first, though, moments away. bill and i will see you at the top of the hour my bladder wake me up from my sweet dreams? thanks to tena, not tonight! only tena overnight underwear ...with its secure barrier system gives you.... ...triple protection from leaks, odor and moisture.
