many people show up wearing her color. >> i asked her before we came on, julie, you need to put a jacket on. >> i told you two hours ago. [laughter] >> happening on the air. not pretty. the reporter put a black jacket on. abby: "fox & friends" starts right now. >> my belief is we have to stay focus from a military that's so lethal. on the battlefield, it will be the enemy's longest day and worst days. >> what is the best possible thing we can do for somebody who is on government assistance? >> get them off of it. >> what do you consider the greatest threat of the united states of america? >> terrorism. >> fbi director james comey broke the rules, looks as if the democrats on the way out of the door are trying to leave behind as many land mines as they can

-- >> joe, for your faith in fellow americans and for your lifetime of service i'm please today award our nation's highest civilian honor, the presidential medal of freedom. [applause] >> he had no idea the medal was coming. he thought it was a good-bye and how great he was. he knew something was coming but clearly moved by that moment. ainsley: emotional moment. he had a tough last year and a half. lost his son and now saying good-bye to the house. brian: and the friendship between those two is absolutely -- steve: seemed real which is extraordinary in the job. speaking of presidents, we are going to have a new one one week from today but i will tell you, aside from those hearing things we just showed you, we are going to talk about it today, it was a

weird day on capitol hill, during the pompeo hearing they were talking about russian influence. mark warner was and suddenly the lights went out in the hearing room and on c-span they were talking about russia, once again, it's replaced by russia today. brian: that's unexplainable as far as i'm concerned. ainsley: not a coincidence. what's going on? brian: i can't get rit -- what is it called, rt, at my house. ainsley: try coat hanger. brian: all of a sudden it comes down, james comey once again is in the eye of the storm as the justice department inspector decides i'm going to look at the handling of the private server investigation by james comey. >> we are aweek away from the inauguration and many are saying that this is the democrats attempt to debunk the election to say, discredit donald trump,

they're saying the reason is james comey came out and held the conference and condemned hillary clinton and at the very end he did not indict. brian: that got republicans upset. ains apes that got republicans upset and the democrats were prizing them. remember, nancy pelosi. brian: i want my kids to be just like him. he decided to close the investigation. many people said he lost the election for hillary clinton. steve: of course, look, of course, they are talking about the private server so she set up so how can that possibly be james comey's problem? there's more to it than just that. remember we were talking about the deputy director andrew whose wife got half a million dollars, super pack when she was running for state senator down in virginia, they are going to look at that to make sure that was above board. plus the guy peter who was john

podesta's roommate, he's at the department of justice as well and apparently he leaked some information about an ongoing foia, freedom of information act request, regarding hillary's e-mail server. they're looking at that too. the headline is they're looking into comey. >> it looks as if the democrats on the way out of the door are trying to leave behind as many land mines as they can to at least cast doubts on the legitimacy of the trump victory. i'm not sure this is the best way to assure a good transition, one where you transfer not just the authority of office but the legitimacy, but that seems to be what the democrats want to do as they get out of power. brian: in a way it's working because if you look at the media

travel ratings, donald trump got the boost. controversy from the electoral system being the wrong system from fake news really giving the election to him to russia hacks the reason, now the comey investigation and now we spend all of this sparring, now only has the honeymoon lasted eight minutes. now the ratings are down to where they were right before the election, which by the way, he won convincingly. if you look at all of the things together, it's a concerted effort, one after another from the recount on down to take donald trump and make him a legitimate, if, indeed, he does get to the white house which i believe he's going to get to next week. it's unbelievably un-american. ainsley: right, what do you think about that? send us your comments. do people really care about this? this is something that america dealt with months ago. steve: it's time to move on. the democrats have had a million excuses, get over it.

he won fair and square. brian: that affects the election, the emails come out, they reveal the dnc's in cahoot with hillary clinton to make sure bernie sanders doesn't get the election. that is something that was exposed. it wasn't doctored or faked. what about the bully bush tape? how did that affect the election? who leaked that out? who leaked out donald trump's tax returns? how is that fair. that's call the process. things come up, people come out, more evidence comes forward, that's part of it. the russian hacks are the last thing but reveals what was going on with the nominee that was about to get -- ainsley: after the bully bush tapes came out donald trump wasn't blaming bully bush, he wasn't blaming -- brien: nbc. ainsley: hillary clinton is blaming everyone else and she's responsible for the e-mail server. donald trump came out and

apologized to his wife and american people and he wins the election. hillary clinton is blaming everyone else. blaming james comey, she's the one that did this. she had the private server. steve: a win is a win. trump won, let's move on. when you look at the people who he has nominated to make up cabinet, they are great americans, dr. ben carson at hud, crazy questions yesterday, we are going to play some of those for you. also mad dog mattis, he got the waiver from the senate overwhelming so he will most probably be our next defense secretary and mike pompeo, the guy who is donald trump ice pick to run cia, first at his class at westpoint and harvard business, rather harvard law. ainsley: you're saying he's smart. steve: a smart guy. essentially what he said, yeah, russia hacked us, no, we won't bring back enhanced

interrogation and both mattis and pompeo said as well they are going to get tough with russia. watch this. >> i think it's under the biggest attacks since world war ii, sir, and that's from russia, from terrorist groups and with what china is doing in the south china sea. >> it is going to require incredibly robust american response, response that's security-related response, we have to get better at defending against these and then a response that holds actors accountable who commit these kind of actions against the united states of america. >> look at mike pompeo, look at general mattis, look at general kelly, they disagree with the president elected of the united states. the president of the united states has position on things, what if we get along with russia, that doesn't mean he's prorussia. you have three people with 40 to 50 years of experience answering questions honestly. the current president of the united states went to four

secretary of defense, it's not a big deal that everybody doesn't sing in the same hymn sheet. together they will make this president better. that's the question. if they all stick to the same thing they have to be related somehow to the each other or memorized answers which is not the point of this confirmation. ainsley: every time we watch confirmation hearings, there's always one senator who is trying to get the got-you question in there. it might not have anything to do with it -- steve: nothing. ainsley: why are you asking that question. we have seen that several times last week and yesterday was no different. trying to ask a question to mad dog mattis and listen to his response. it's pretty strong. >> do you believe that openly serving homosexuals along with women in combat units is undermining our force? >> senator, my belief is that we have to stay focus on military that's so lethal that on the battlefield it will be the enemy's longest day and their

worst day when they run into that force. steve: the way he answered that question, there was one other extraordinary question and that was from the new senator from the great state of california. camila harris asked mike pompeo, okay, he's going to run the cia, ask him about climate change. maybe she thinks the c in cia stands for climate but it doesn't, it stands for central. brien: what about climate change and your vision of the world, wait a second, climate change is an issue but we can't be the only one fighting for it specially when it cur -- circumvents our defense. he was so good yesterday -- people were in awe of what he was saying. ainsley: he's just tough, tough when he comes to the military and i like that.

steve: a guy that you want for the job. brian: if there's one guy tougher than steve doocy, it might be general mattis. steve: in the meantime heather joins us on this friday. >> happy friday to you all. mysterious white powder forced plane to make emergency landing, three alaskan crew members getting sick. powder blowing through air vent on flight from seattle to san francisco. that's where it was forced to land. the substance turns out to be, it was actually deicing fluid. the flight carrying 200 passengers and six crew members took off a short time later. president obama ending a controversial 20-year-old immigration policy for cubans just one week before he leaves office. effectively immediately the u.s. will suspend the wet-foot, dry-foot policy, that a lose any

cubans to reach our shores to stay in the united states. president obama saying that that policy was, quote, designed for a different era and cubans will now be treated like any other migrants. brand-new wikileaks bomb shell, the founder julian assange agreeing to be extraditing on the united states on one condition, he tweeted this, if president obama grants man i -- manning clemency. chelsea manning was formerly known as bradley manning serving 35-year-old sentence for leaking documents to wikileaks. the obama administration currently has open investigation into assange for releasing classified information. he, of course, has been live living in asylum in london since 2012. heros who put their lives on the

line for the country, ceremony to be held later today. well, this comes over concerns that they hadn't initially received acknowledgment that they had earned. this includes michael mendoza, silver star will be updated to navy cross, platoon was attacked in iraq. military members will receive medal upgrades to silver stars and those are your headlines. steve: thank you, heather. it is the heated exchange people can't stop talking about. our next guest says this is just the latest example the mainstream media to attack mr. trump. you have cnn versus trump right there. brian: another major bomb shell, the woman in the background behind general mad dog mattis, who she is and who got to pat her down before she went in? steve: what?

you wouldn't believe what's in this kiester. a farmer's market. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it.

>> mr. president elect, can you give us a question -- you're attacking, can you give us a question? >> don't be -- i'm not going to give you a question. you are fake news. >> sir, can you -- steve:

brian: many slamming the reporter for asking the questions and others saluting him about asking the question and for the network and others publishing these rumors about donald trump, this is the latest example of some of the mainstream media blurring the line offense journalism, perhaps to attack the president elect. when you saw the exchange, you saw something bigger, in what way? >> sure, well, i think journalists have an obligation to tell the truth and i think that, you know, we have an old news room that we like to repeat as reporters if your mother says she loves you, you should check it out. i think that that's very clearly sums up the ethical obligations that reporters have, we have an obligation to publish the truth and not just what we think is the truth but what can be verified as true and i think when reporters don't do that and when they cross the line, they need to be called out and we need to police one another to make sure that we do that. >> the fact that somehow the

intel source came forward and said that the fbi director did personally brief donald trump friday, does that change anything? >> absolutely not. i think it's very clear that russia's involvement in the election to whatever extent that truly was was an attempt to make americans, you know, unsettled or distrust our electoral system and distrust our government and i think that reporters when thawr not precise about what happens, i think that they're aiding and abetting moscow's information campaign and aiding and abetting the kremlin. >> he compared the birther push that donald trump was behind to this. let me take a look at the tweet as we move prompter forward. there's an old saying, live by the sword, you know what it means. so is donald trump feeling some of the wrath that he brought forward five years ago?

>> no, that's completely ridiculous. it's a reporter's job to publish claims that are verified and can be completely a 100% corroborated as true. i think in the climate that we have today where only 4% of americans have a favorable view of the media and an overwhelming number of them think that we are align and we have bias when we are reporting, i think we are fighting uphill battle and proving ourselves to be trust worthy and he's under mining the cause and the fight and i think that that's frustrating to watch as a reporter myself. brian: he made so much news about border wall, supreme court justice, it was swamped by the combative nature of the press specially with the reporter in particular and the other thing was he fights back and i don't think many people were prepared for that after clinton, bush and obama. thank you so much. >> thank you. brian: ten minutes before the bottom of the hour straight ahead. you want your kid to be a doctor

some day? not so fast. nine out of ten doctors -- don't go to medical school and no more pink, no more blue, the colors are being banned at a certain university that cost $58,000 a year.

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. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters,

muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can be more active. ask your doctor about lyrica.

>> we have some troubles with some schools and this is the school edition of schools. more than half of the college is female but apparently the word women makes them feel excluded. the women student body, feminist group at the university of california want to get rid of the word in their title, why? they want everyone to feel included. and you can't take doughnuts in bible study, the university in

missouri canceling class after the association complained that employees use treats to lure students to christian meetings. the school says they suspended it because it did not comply with district policy. finally banning pink and blue. a campaign, you're not going to believe this, aiming to stop all kinds of discrimination including banning sign that is designate areas in pink for women and blue for men. that also means no more girls night out because it leaves guys out and if anyone see that is on campus they are suppose today file a comp plain. good job. ainsley: i am offended. take off your blue tie, brian. talk about a doctor dilemma, a recent survey found nine out of ten physicians would not recommend practicing medicine as a profession. so problems with the current healthcare system adding to doctors' concerns, dr. nina joins us now. good morning.

>> good morning. ainsley: what is your opinion. if a child cape up to you and said i want to be a doctor, what would you say don't go into health care? >> absolutely, go into it, there's some great rewards and, yes, of course, there are stresses but what job doesn't have stresses? ainsley: i have a lot of doctors that are saying this because every time i go to the doctor's office they want to talk about obamacare and how it's affecting, it's not what it used to be, would you really change your core, you have house on the hamptons and house in the upper east side and you seem like you have a great life, i know many go because they want to help people and not because the money, when you're really having a conversation with your physician friends, are they all saying -- >> they are not.

there are things that we need to address. health care is changing for the better. we are seeing changes -- we are now seeing a trend where we are preventing people from getting sick and this does require changes and this is what we are learn to go deal with. i absolutely will say go for it. ainsley: what are the problem areas if you could fix anything about medicine? >> that we are no longer small businesses, we are being bought up by hospitals. i've been a hospital employee for most of the career, there's wonderful benefits. we don't have the overhead that we have to worry about and that way we can focus on patient care, we don't have to worry about billing. when i close the door and you and me are in the examination room, i pit out all the bureaucracy, we barricaded that, that's one of the one you can ever have. >> life or death. >> right. while i'm taking care a one patient at a time, for that patient, that's the most important -- the biggest thing

in their life at the moment. i'm a third generation physician, my mom was a physician, my grandfather was a physician. this was a calling for me. ainsley: wow, what about health care, repeal and reform. congress is talking about that now, what's your opinion? >> we need to see what the president elect has to say about this. we know that there are changes that need to be made and we always want to get better. if there's an issue we need to address it. i'm excited to see what the president elect will be doing. ainsley: all right, thank you so much. >> thank you very much. ainsley: any woman who has had a baby, you are the one we are calling for in the hospital. >> thank you. ainsley: every time republicans take down this anticop painting, democrats put it back up. this morning something has changed. we are going to tell you what it is. that's next. a new celebrity breaking away from hollywood elite backing donald trump. carly is here with what nicole kidman just said that would have

...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 to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine 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. >> president obama awarded joe biden the presidential medal of freedom with distinction which 3 of his got over the last 30 years, then biden gave him a double-figure gun with a wink. steve: the whole proceedings were on fox news channel yesterday, brought a tear to many eyes.

ainsley: turned around. steve: what is trending on your smartphone? we talk to reporter carly shimkus, let's start with something taking the inter-web is by be change all week long liberals have been promoting boycott of l.l. bean after news broke that linda been donated to approach from pack. on this couch yesterday addressed those critics. take a listen. >> bullying me, bullying the company that i own. if the boycott succeeds, we are not the only ones. that is all they are. a small kernel of high bullying on the west coast trying to

control what we do, what we buy, what we sell, the wrong way to go. steve: a little spike in business since they declared war but something changed. ainsley: she had a bigger spike yesterday, seemed like a fighter, not backing down and minutes after the interview donald trump said thank you to linda been for your great support and courage. people will support you even more now. listen to these tweets of people who are still going to boycott the company. allison said i am about to find and throw out the l.l. bean backpack i had in elementary school. richard said l.l. bean will get no support from me, trump's endorsement is the kiss of death. >> in the last two election cycles, the ceo who is her

cousin is one of the biggest donators from the state of maine to barack obama. >> donald trump's tweet, numbers go through the roof. >> we will keep an eye on that. i have a feeling you are right. when the lights were not going out on capitol hill, a lot of people, this person is talking over their shoulder. >> i am looking at ainsley. which brings me to this. general james matus's confirmation hearing, did you notice heard during the hearing? i am talking about that. that is very pretty. we picked the g rated tweets, who was the hot blonde asking

the question everybody wants to know, was anyone paying attention to general mad dog james matus or watching the blog sitting behind him? the answer is column and column be. she is the communications director. >> you could have been looking at me. you are a good-looking guy the do. >> the liberal left is supposed to love the left. >> nicole kidman did an interview yesterday that said a lot of things people find surprising regarding the election. she said she is now elected, whoever is president because that is what the country is based on. >> like tom hanks. >> she is now taking heat online. data tweeted to do it is time for nicole kidman to move to

russia. sometimes celebrities shouldn't be political commentators. >> if you support the political right you get boycotted or have to move to russia. >> the president should not be a controversial thing. >> her husband puts on a mean show. >> thank you very much. meanwhile while you are standing there talking i'm looking over your shoulder at heather in our. >> just like the hearing yesterday a couple quick headlines, there is a good samaritan who shot and killed a suspect who ambushed a police officer, then saving his life was the police officer pulling over a woman who had been in an accident with a gunman appearing out of nowhere and opening fire, hitting that officer but a driver passing by stepped in

gunning down that suspect, saying thanks to the hero who stopped to help, in arizona. if you can't beat them, join him. the flag above the controversial painting depicting police officers as pigs on capitol hill. the center of the controversy for days now. and -- a new study warns marijuana is bad for you. andrew cuomo says people caught with pot on them shouldn't be in jail. the governor wants to decriminalize it citing a shift in public opinion on the issue as more states legalize the drug affecting those caught with a small amount, convicted dealers and face harsh punishment,

brian: the american presidency has evolved over time but how has it changed from what the founding fathers had in mind? that is what gerri asked in a new series the politically incorrect guide to the presidents part one.

good morning to you. i love the fact that george and thomas jefferson, make america great, mega presidents. you look at the first 26 presidents, why the first 26 and not all of them? >> the second part was done by a colleague. he wrote the second part first and said can you write the first part? >> donald trump puts his hand on the oath of office, he will be our 45th president of the united states. i understand that you say usually despite what we see from barack obama the president can't wait to get out of dodge. >> it could be -- two adamss who left before the next guy took office couldn't wait to get out. >> who is running the country?

lot of big media names. and the barometer of what is real and fake. and he announced the initiative. and going to fox news and organizations to partner with them and find out a better way to identify information and access multiple stories from one source at the same time looking at that and local news and visit newsrooms and journalists, the idea is if they put our thinking caps together we will come up with a solution to identify what is fake and what is real. they do have this, they want to educate people on how to discern between what is fake and what is real. >> how big a problem was, they

writing. they were very nice to her. she lost because she campaigned in the wrong states. no enthusiasm. inspector general of the department of justice. ainsley: exactly right, saying he will investigate the fbi and james comey for the way he handled -- brian: that inspector is investigative the lead investigative agency in our country. steve: i have to diagram that. brian: maybe best in the world. what donald trump was referring to, efforting to be the nominee, looked as though actually he already had the nomination but hillary clinton, when they looked at her, they wondered if she is going to survive this investigation, then she will be the nominee. if she didn't survive the nominee, then bernie sanders would have stepped up and somebody else would have stepped in. question is, should she have been stopped in july after the information on her server. donald trump is saying she should have been stopped this july, if anything. that is what the information revealed.

ainsley: democrats are upset with james comey that she lost the election because he reopened the investigation three days before the election. republicans say it was her own fault. steve: that is dumb thing for her to do. i'm sure she kicks herself every day, what was i thinking? brian: i don't know, does she? steve: if i had not done that i would be president of the united states and there could be something to that, in the fact that the administration is bringing this up in the 11th hour, charles krauthamer sees politics. >> it looks as if the democrats on their way out the door are trying to leave behind as many landmines as they can to, at least cast doubts on the legitimacy of the trump victory. i'm not sure this is the best way to assure a good transition, one that you transferred not just the authority of office but the legitimacy, you but that

seems to be what the democrats want to do as they get out of power. brian: after donald trump won, it was disbelief. then there was ridiculous recount. then there was a complaining about the electoral system because she won popular note. then fake news. then blame the russians. then plame james comey again and do formal investigation. ainsley: what is next. brian: continue to do the things to divide the country to make donald trump look illegitimate which i think is un-american. ainsley: will they stop next week? brian: if they did it to george bush it would be wrong. if they did it to barack obama it would be wrong, they would say it is racist but something for donald trump they seem to accept. ainsley: will we see more of this in the next four years? steve: we'll see it next week. there is whole week before this and the inauguration. intel community stuff came out of left field. is there more to that? who knows. all we know president-elect

multimillion-dollar varieties will not end up in the president-elect's pockets. the reason you can't assure us of that is because the president-elect is hiding his family's business interests from you, from me, from the rest of america. and this just highlights the absurdity and the danger of the president-elect's refusal to put his assets in a true blind trust. brian: what an insult. think the president wants hud money for his own pocket. ainsley: he is not taking is a salary. >> two points to be made here. donald trump has small stake in affordable housing project in brooklyn, new york, he has a very small part. elizabeth warren was trying to say look, hud programs may end up benefiting donald trump financially. well mr. carson immediately responded said look, if there is a real good program that benefits millions of americans, millions of people, you expect me to drop it and cancel it

it that until he is president, will they come pick you up, or do you have to fly, if you don't have your own plane do you fly delta down to washington? brian: they definitely have to do this in a secure vehicle. that would be a bar car at amtrak. that is what i'm thinking. ainsley: the bar car? steve: that is how we're getting there. one week from today is the inauguration. ainsley: a day that we will never another get this. the tragedy of the the boss -- boston bombing on the screen. kevin mccarthy talking about the movie "patriots day." >> a lot of people are talking but they're talking about the wrong people. released photos of our guys, listen, trust me. with a unique warming sensation you instantly feel. theraflu. for a powerful comeback.

right guy. but you have to like him because he's sincere and consistent. brian: i'm not worried, but i'm very interested to see how flynn, kelly, and mattis get along. they advice they get and how donald trump takes it. >> well, that's very interesting you say that because look at homeland security saying the wall's not going to do it. brian: alone. >> the wall alone is not going to do it. and donald trump has to come to that realization and also water boarding, none of them are going to violate the wall with pompeo, god bless them. i think what trump has done with these nominees is really pick a great bunch and not all repeaters of trumpism, and i think it's going to serve him and the nation well. i like this cabinet. i take them all right now, nice balance. ben carson, my goodness. what a wonderful choice.

of all, it came in sort of white. so i bought this -- i bought this just for men. i'm making a confession here. this is very important. so i put it on myself, and i didn't read the instructions. so then i went, and i was doing something, and i said okay. i guess it's time to wash it off. and i said, oh, my god i'm supposed to only leave it on for three minutes, and it was, like, 15 minutes later. and i came out, and i went on o'reilly, and i had the black thing in my face, and it looked like a squirrel died on my chin. isabella called me and said dad. my 24-year-old. dad, you can't go on television again. no one's listening to what you're saying. they're only looking at your chin. steve: now people are thinking this is just for men. >> no. but, look, this is for real. come on. what do you. are we going to start going through people's hair now? ainsley: you weren't wearing a shirt.

and you use the same raiser my dad uses. get 12 in a pack and. >> it took me 12 of them to get the beard off. brian: if there's anything you read directions on, it's dye. >> and the funny thing is. steve: that's all funny. what are you talking about? >> erica's coming -- brian: your wife. >> she's very busy, she has a million charities. she comes home and says and then you put this stuff in the car and she goes around. honey, honey, you notice anything, honey? what? what? what? oh, the beard. it's, like, were you looking at me? brian: you're so insecure. >> i'm the most uninsecure. brian: well, you have to mention it. steve: we'll see you next friday in washington. >> thursday. thursday and friday. steve: okay. good.

brian: all right. a strong story on capitol hill for some of donald trump's most popular cabinet picks, including general james mad dog mattis. ainsley: liz is live at trump tower with a look at what's next with just one week until the inauguration. good morning, liz. >> good morning to you guys. this has been an unprecedented move. the senate approved a waiver that would allow retired general james mattis -- and

this is unprecedented because it's an exception. the law normally requires military vets to be out of uniform for a minimum of seven years before they can begin working at the pentagon. mattis just retired in 2013. but lawmakers voted 81-17 approving the waiver hours after mattis testified, before the senate armed forces committee. and he had a little back and forth with new york senator kristen dealing with gays and women. >> do you think gays and homosectional is undermining our force? >> senator, my belief is that we have to stay focused on a military that is so lethal on the battlefield it will be the enemy's longest day and their worst day when they run into that force.

>> also on the hill yesterday was retired neurosurge ben carson why he should be the next department of housing and urban development secretary. and mike pompeo answered some questions about intelligence agencies and said he would not reinstate torture as punishment. now, next week those will continue. nomination for secretary of education and secretary of commerce. of course republicans would like to have these confirmations all said and done before trump i's inauguration, but of course we do know democrats have the potential power to sort of stall this process. we're live outside of trump tower this morning. send things back to you guys. steve: liz is live on 5th avenue where the new york city police have closed 5th avenue because it's not so a, too, far from saint patrick's cathedral where morning big funeral mass for steven macdonald, the hero cop who died three dazz ago.

foot, dry foot policy that allows any cubans who reached our shore to stay. it is designed for what he calls a different era. steve: thank you very much. there's a lot of big stories this morning but what are the ones that are trending? which mean what people care about the most. ainsley: fox news headlines 24/7 to break it all down for us. >> good morning, well, all week long liberals have been pushing the #grab your wallet to protest ll bean. that's because linda bean, one of the company's co-owners donated money to a pro trump pac. well, yesterday on this couch, she addressed those critics. take a listen. >> it's bullying me. it's bullying the companies that i own, and bullying the one that i am partly on. the ll bean company. the company's employees if the boycott succeed in these cases. we're not the only one. i'm not going to back down. i never back down.

if i feel i'm right, and i do feel they're bullies. that's all they are. hard-core bullies on the west coast in california trying to control what we do, what we buy, what we sell in maine. it is definitely the wrong way to go. steve: here's the thing. it wasn't a corporate donation. it was she as an individual decided to write a check to donald trump for something like $25,000. but the lefties, they were so upset, donald trump saw her on our show and then tweeted out. ainsley: yeah, he said grab your wallet and then go buy. >> he said thank you to linda been of ll been for your great support and encourage. people will support you even more now. buy ll bean. but then of course there are other people on social media that still say they're going to boycott the company. allison tweeted i'm about to find and throw out the llbean

backpack i had. and someone tweeted ll bean is the kiss of death. brian: i think we're going to be back on monday talking about how ll bean had this huge boom. >> we'll certainly be tracking that. and nicole kidman is in the news today. she did an interview with the bbc, and she had some interesting things to say about the election and president-elect trump. she said he is now elected, and we as a country need to support whoever is president because that's what the country is based on. steve: okay. the lefties aren't going to like that. >> you're right. they didn't. and a lot took to social media to complain. dan asaid i think it's time for nicole kidman to move to russia. brian: think about how stupid she is. she's saying we live here, we want to stay here. >> yeah, and mike said sometimes celebrities shouldn't be political commentators.

steve: so it's okay for people to have civil discourse if it's positive to democratic causes. but when you support the >> nicole kidman's comment was not controversial whatsoever. she just said support the president-elect. brian: tom hanks said something similar and, by the way, one of those two was married to tom cruise. ainsley: now she's married to keith urban, they're right but you never get over tom cruise i hear. ainsley: exactly. >> are you speaking from personal experience? brian: no, never met. steve: i think you are. [laughter] thank you very much. ainsley: all right. doctors warned us and now it's coming true. the super bug is so powerful. steve: oh, no. ainsley: antibiotics no longer work. what it means for you and your family, brian. steve: that's right. they need a pill, though, to get over tom cruise apparently. and he was there for the transition for the clinton and bush white houses. so how does the trump transition compare?

steve: remember last week when we were talking about son dabbing while his swearing in photo op. ainsley: i remember that. well, first speaker paul ryan thought he was sneezing. but now the hipper speaker is all about the dab, apparently. watch this. >> i actually do know what a dab is. okay? just for the record. it's this, you know?

[laughter] i do. brian: and that was last night just trying to define what he actually knew and with that controversy there. meanwhile, just last week marble joined us said he didn't find his dabbing very funny, and he definitely didn't get away with it. >> the official groundings between he and me, but he's hoping to get a presidential pardon. ainsley: we'll forgive him. steve: a closer eye to see if speaker ryan asked for a pardon as well. meanwhile carl is the former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to george w. bush. he joins us from the beautiful city of austin, texas. good morning. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning. i'm now understanding why brian camped out overnight in order to see the first jack reacher movie. now i understand. brian: you're referencing tom cruise? >> yeah, you never got over that man crush you had on tom cruise. ainsley: that's right. he jumped from the sofa in order to imitate him.

brian: i am over it now. but i was just trying to bring a little color to the segment. steve: oh, sure. now you're over. brian: like i'm going to do now as we talk about something you know intimately well and that is the transition from one administration to the other. you have advice, a four-point plan, some advice to give to trump's -- to the obama's, from the obama's to the trumps. >> no. actually what i did was i talked to four former advisers and said if you could talk to a incoming staffer in the new trump white house, what would you tell them? and that was my column yesterday in the wall street journal. it was a great exercise. i really enjoyed doing it. brian: right? >> i talked to a couple of aids to linden johnson, and they had some of the best advice at all. larry temple, a friend of mine here in austin said don't be intimidated by the president. and speak fearlessly about what you believe and even most importantly if you think the president disagrees. he said johnson used to intimidate his staff saying

you've never been elected, so who gives you -- why do you think you could give me advice? but he said if you hung in there and gave a persuasive argument, he said oftentimes lbj would be repeating your arguments the next day. steve: that's interesting. also a bit of advice, you say essentially some of these aids who are working with the president should be like the cheese cake factory. and that is you should have a lot of choices. when you go in, present them with a lot of choices. >> well, you did read the piece. yeah, the decision -- i talked four baskets. the president, the second one was decision-making, and it's really important for the white house to offer up to the president a wide range of options. and some white house people would attempt. okay. i want this issue settled this way, so i'm going to hide from the president and other potential options. and this was -- this is bad. you ought to have a wide range of options. you ought to argue those things in front of the president. no end run. president is ill served if he

has aids coming in saying this individual ought to do a. this person coming in ought to do b. sometimes that ends up with the last person you talk to is who you follow. everybody has to be in the room. make those arguments. if you haven't particularly expected, make sure the strongest arguments are made in the meeting in order to get the most robust range of options and the fullest amount of information in order to get the decision. ainsley: you have confidence to keep a respective mind and keep an open mind. >> absolutely. and i have to tell you. this -- i almost did not go to the white house because of the stories i heard about the conflict between staff in previous white houses. and one white house, they literally had to seat the people on the opposite sides of the table, the factions were so strong. but as a white house staffer, it's really important to not play games, to return their phone calls, listen carefully to what they had to say, be open to changing your opinion if they're convincing.

and one white house, literally the guy in charge of a particular set of decision-making meetings would invite his friends to the meeting at 12:00 noon, and he would invite the people that he didn't like and that whose opinions he wanted to diminish at 12:30 so that they would arrive late and towards the end of the meeting. i mean, this business is too important to engagement like that. steve: and also remember too, your behavior reflects on the president because he's going to be in the middle of it. he hired you. he nominated you. and what you do reflects on him or her. >> that's absolutely right. and in addition to that, you need to save time for your personal life. because i've seen too many white house staffers who are there early in the morning and there way too late at night. and you can get burned out. if you don't have save time for family, faith, and friends, and a personal life, you're going to get burned out. and when you're burned out, you're of no utility to the president of the united states. steve: sure and would your advice be members to the obama administration do not pry any

of the letters off of the typewriters or the word processors? like the clintons did pried all the ws. >> well, i'm confident the obama staff is not going to stoop to that. president clinton i suspect was horrified when he found out what some people had done, and we couldn't have been a better treated by the clinton people. there were some more people who did some bad things as they walked out the door. >> so stay classy. >> stay classy, san diego. brian: a lot to do with why the clintons and bushes get along so well now. >> thank you. brian: chris will be joining us from 9:00 to noon. not the whole time, i promise because ainsley has to get some quality time too. ainsley: i know. brian: we just don't have a picture for you too. ainsley: geraldo will be there too. steve: i'm going to have to get myself a radio. ainsley: you're on thursdays.

>> it's called kilmeade and friends. we're all on. ainsley: we get paid to be his friends; right? we certainly do. >> thank you very much. >> i'll take it away from here. i've got a serious story i want to bring you, and it's a very heartfelt one. a friend of our show here died earlier this week, and wither so sad about that. we're talking about detective steven macdonald. we are taking a live look at this man who was an inspiration of faith to so many i in the new york area and beyond. his funeral precession is now taking place. he is being transported from long title new york city. and that's where his funeral is being held today at 9:00 a.m. at st. patrick's cathedral. now, macdonald -- this is his story -- he was shot on the job with the nypd in central park back in 1986. he was left paralyzed from the

neck down. he forgave the shooter. his son followed in his footsteps. this tuesday steven had a heart attack and lost his life. this is a live picture of that as they come into the city with the family. steven macdonald was 59 years old. and he will be missed. well, good samaritan shoots and kills a suspect who ambushed a police officer, saving that officer's life. the cop in arizona stopping in an accident when a gunman came out of nowhere and opened fire, hitting the officer. but a driver passing by stepped into gun down that suspect. a second driver used the officer's radio to call in for help. >> hello officer down. officer down. come in, please. he's in real bad shape. please send air support. helicopter, please. >> well, that officer is expected to be okay, thanks to that good samaritan. well, doctors warned us and now the super bug is here. it is so powerful that 26 antibiotics don't even affect it. the cdc confirming a drug resistant infection killed a

woman in nevada back in september. she was hospitalized after she contracted bacterial infection while being treated for a broken femur in india. she later died from septic shock. well, russia taking over the headlines and now the airways? possibly. there was a bizarre glitch on c-span yesterday. take a look at this. it goes from the floor of the house of representatives to a broadcast of russian television. watch. >> cop on the block, the scc and literally obliterated -- ♪ >> okay. russian tv. this program running for ten minutes on c-span. c-span said it's now investigating to figure out how this happened. they say it was an internal routing issue but with lots of russian news in the headlines. some are saying maybe it was something else. brian: something else happened later in the day, didn't he? steve: talking about russia. brian: no, there was another hit. another russian thing that happened in the day.

i'm going to look into that. >> what are you talking about? >> where do you find russian cable? ainsley: you get twitter pages that come up. over elevator music. steve: thank you, heather. ainsley: thanks, heather. steve: meanwhile, coming up, senator elizabeth warren striking with dr. ben carson but does she have other motives? we're going to talk to ed henry. good morning to you, sir. brian: and this nfl coach just made history. what he's doing that's never been done before. ♪ ♪ 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.

>> time for a quick look at

sports headlines as ainsley glances at me. a very emotional time for both fans as san diego team leaving at 55 years to go 100 miles to hollywood. and fans are not happy. they are piling up their jerseys and setting them on fire. not even dan fouts is safe. and the los angeles rams newest coach is the youngest in nfl history. he's 18. the team is named sean mcveigh, he's just 30 years old as their head coach as they prepare for a second season in los angeles. mcveigh spent the last six years as an assistant with washington. man, he must be considered a genius. that's a lot of pressure. ainsley: that's awesome. steve: it is. ainsley: good for him. steve: speaking of washington, another fiery change on capitol hill in washington as democrats continue confirmation hearings to slam the incoming trump administration. ainsley: senator elizabeth warren going after ben carson. brian: is that the way ed henry would describe it? he's in washington d.c. hi, ed. >> good morning. you know what's really going on here? she's probably running for president. >> of course.

>> we saw the same deal with cory booker a few days ago. he became the first senator to testify against another sitting senator, jeff sessions, the nominee for attorney general. even though there's videotape of cory booker is as you know about a year ago praising jeff sessions and accepting civil rights award along with sessions. so you see the flip-flops because booker is probably going to run for president as well. and just in the last few moments, by the way, al, democratic senator from minnesota announced that he's going to vote "no" on sessions. but despite booker and other democrats opposing him, he's still very likely to go through, anyway. as is ben carson. elizabeth warren went after him and, look, she wanted to get a headline. she got it. just look at the huffington post, they have a big banner that basically says elizabeth warren asked ben carson if he could promise whether money intended for the poor will not go to donald trump, and he refused. well, that's not exactly what happened. watch.

>> can you just assure us that not one dollar will go to benefit either the president-elect or his family? >> it will not be my intention to do anything to benefit any american. for all americans, everything that we do. >> do i take that to mean that you may manage programs that will significantly benefit the president-elect? >> you can take it to mean that i will manage things in a way that benefits the american people. that is going to be the goal. >> so you can see the context that elizabeth warren wants to pound donald trump about the business interest, fair question, no doubt. but to pin him down and say hud money is going to go to donald trump and benefit him, taxpayer money. and you can see very clearly that ben carson said i'm not going to, you know, push through programs are going to benefit any one american. donald trump or anyone else.

i mean, programs he said that are going to benefit millions of americans. he also added that he's going to bring moral values to his approach there at hud. so that didn't sound like he's going to hand out taxpayer money to donald trump. brian: i've heard a lot of people could you say donald trump for many things. but a lot of people think he came to washington to get rich. he was already rich. >> brian, you should come to washington to get rich. brian: i'm going to come next week. many do. and then we'll see how much money i make. steve: thank you. ainsley: thank you. our next guest nearly lost his life until he ate his way back to health. he's a chef. his name is shane mcmullin. here's his story. next. he's irish. brian: your last name is irish. how irish are you? >> good morning, guys. good to see you this morning. so the fbi director james comey is now the one who's

arthritis to the point that it was doing what to you? >> well, i mean, it's a really debilitating disease and then food help me get my life back on track. ainsley: how much weight did you lose? >> about 65 pounds. ainsley: how did you do it? >> diet. i was able to thank you very much get that butter going. i was able to move around and be more active. ainsley: but you still use butter. >> butter's really good for you. steve: what about bacon. >> bacon in modulation is also not so bad. steve: good because that's what we have. >> well, the great thing about this cookbook is it really speaks to what i believe in is that food is medicine and food is love. and what do we with god's love is we deliver over 1.6 million meals a year to new yorkers and people in the area that in the metropolitan area that are after you went different diseases. steve: you guys have been doing it for a very long time.

brian: i haven't had a retina in a while. steve: how long do you cook? >> this is not as hot as i want it to be, but it takes usually seven minutes or so. steve: okay. >> wheel brown it nicely, you don't want to overcook it. this is a classic pan sauce. brian: so not only do you learn to cook, you learn to be healthy and live longer. >> absolutely. and this book is a fantastic book. steve: celebrity recipe. >> yeah, there's 71 of us that have all contributed to the book. you can buy the book at gods love cookbook.com. and 100% of the proceeds go to supporting the cause. each goes to buy five meals for those in need. brian: more fox and friends in a moment. you wouldn't believe what's in this kiester. a farmer's market. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours.
