>> mother nature unleashing her fury across the country. >> 20 people confirmed dead most of them in georgia. >> you didn't know whether you was going to live or die. steve: what a crazy day in weather and crazy day in politics. welcome to studio e. it's "fox & friends." yesterday, donald trump made good on a campaign promise. ainsley: that's exactly right. steve: day one pull the plug on tpp obviously one of the reasons many political observers say he won ohio and michigan and pennsylvania. do it on day one. did he it on day one. ainsley: also a hiring freeze on federal government and ban on funding for international groups performing beergses. gearing up for another busy day. breakfast with auto ceos today he's works to keep jobs in america. brian: this as democrats keep wasting 250eu78 delaying his cabinet. poised to make the process even more painful over the next several weeks. steve: white house correspondent kevin corke

joins us live with the details from the north lawn where yesterday it was rainy and windy and today, kevin, it is, what? >> not too bad, actually. i can still -- i can see my breath a little bit but it's winter. obviously a much better day winter wise than yesterday. another busy day on tap as you pointed out. the president said to have a conversation with u.s. automakers, again, part of this idea of keeping jobs in the united states of america. part of an ambitious schedule that includes a meeting with his chief of staff reince priebus. they have had conversations back and forth trying to make sure they are not only on the same page in terms of the agenda but making sure they are communicating their ideas to the american people. let me tell u tell what you elss coming up. expected to sign executive order sometime around 11:00 this morning. speak with india's prime minister modi this afternoon. meeting with the cia director us a just pointed out mike pompeo finally confirmed yesterday and meeting with key

leadership and meeting with senator mitch mcconnell as well. the battle confirmed the president's cabinet continues on capitol hill it has been contentious to say the least. part of exchange on the senate floor between senator chuck schumer and tom cotton about what some have been calling democratic delay tactics. schumer said look where were you 8 years ago referring to president obama's cabinet picks to which cotton allegedly said 8 years ago i was getting my as shot at in afghanistan but so don't talk to me about where i was 8 years ago. i would call that pithy. twolg key nominees expected to testify tom price for hhs that's set to happen this morning, guy its. mike mulvaney hoping to be the president's budget director is expected on capitol hill. another wild day and i will be here all day long but for now back to you. brian: thanks kevin corke. it's not hard to picture this -- when you first have a new president, to see that president in the oval office making decisions.

at first it's hard to say name, you get used to clinton and bush and obama. something about president trump that looks so natural in the white house yesterday. maybe because we saw him in the board room for years or that's exactly what he did. most comfortable when he is busy doing work. that was yesterday. we had three major things that were done. one of which was withdrawing from the tpp, hiring freeze, as well as with mexico city and this abortion thing that keeps flipping back and forth. i thought it was very interesting because the tpp is the beginning of the blurring of lines. bernie sanders loved it john mccain didn't. steve: it's interesting because the teamster's president james hoffa put out a i statement this is the leader of the steamsters put out a statement praising donald trump for pulling the plug on tpp because he has made it very clear this is a good way to save jobs. now, keep in mind, the president of the united states met with a bunch union leaders yesterday. and you are about to hear him

and they are there in the oval office with some of the worst camera work i have ever seen. brian: oh my goodness. what were they thinking? steve: nearly every one of those men and women i have a feeling union leaders voted for hillary. yet, by the end of the meeting with him, they loved him. listen. >> we're going to put a lot of people back to work. we're going to use common sense and we're going to do it the way it's supposed to be done. we're going to stop the ridiculous trade deals that are taking everybody out of our country and taking companies out of our country. >> we had probably just the most incredible meeting of our choirs with the president, vice president and senior staff when the president laid out his plans about how is he going to handle trade. how he is going to invest in our infrastructure and how is he going to level the playing field for construction workers and workers across this country. took the time take everyone into the oval office and show

them the seat of power in the world. of the respect that the united states just showed us and when he shows it to us, he show he is it toe 3 million of our members in the united states. was nothing short of incredible. and we will work with him and his administration. ainsley: there are 12 different nations that are part of the tpp. it's the transpacific partnership. steve: they are out. ainsley: advocate by president obama. i was just asking if we trade with these other nations we don't have to pay tariffs if the we trade? brian: basically put together to counter act china. and now china is loving it collapsed. however, if you look at the deals people that are experts it shows imbalance towards these other smaller nations that would have hurt american workers. and some thought that maybe donald trump would go in there and make it more america friendly. instead he said i would rather have bilateral giving me one-on-one with different nations. ainsley: if they behave we can attack them one-on-one. brian: go one-on-one.

me and you have a dial. if you come in second, you're going to look to do a better deal than me and steve did. all the bay bilaterals end up topping each other. the first one wants to renegotiate. that's why the multi-national deals usually are beneficial first thing first, fulfill a campaign process. ultimately redo it. steve: by getting rid of that deal, obama's deal now president trump now can do his own deal and do his own negotiating. ainsley: press briefing room sean spicer up at the podium sheriff sheriff new sherif overn town. >> we had a new tweet go out about martin luther king. think about how racially charged that is. and someone rushing out and says to the entire press corps that the president of the united states removed a bust from his office. think about what this signal -- hold on, please. >> apologize.

>> no, he actually quote my colleague. where was the apology to the president of the united states? where was the apology to millions of people who read that and thought how racially insensitive that was? >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe. >> right. to witness around and around the globe. the total audience it was. >> total audience but not simply in person. >> right. but, again, i didn't say in person. it's about a constant theme. it's about sitting here every time and being told no. we don't think he can do that he will never accomplish that he can't win that it won't be the biggest. it's not going to be that good. the crowds awrnt is that big. is he not that successful. the narrative and the default narrative is always negative. it's demoralizing. >> always going to be positive. >> no, it's not and sometimes we will make mistakes i promise you that. but it's not always got to be

negative. jim. when we're right, say we're right. when we're wrong, say we're wrong. >> order in which the questions were asked. first question "new york post." compel. steve: second question christian bode casting. sean spicer did a lot of smiling. if i didn't know any better i thought he had had that job for five years he did such a good job. jonathan karl there in the front row he said sean, do you promise to tell the truth when you are a spokesperson and i was thinking hmmm, i don't remember them asking that of josh earnest or any of the democrats. it is interesting though because when he was asked would -- is there anything you would like to -- any second thoughts about saturday? and he said regarding the martin luther king bust, that was just flat out wrong. and then when asked about the metro ridership, he said we got numbers from the inaugural committee. and then when it came to the total number of people who saw it, he stands by it everybody goes well, ronald reagan had

the number one highest tv ratings. sean spicer says when you add tv with online you get a much bigger number. brian: retrospect report inside the trump camp there was a big push for donald trump not to bring this up and sean spicer not to double down but ultimately they decided to do that on saturday. but he had -- after causing a loft controversy there, sunday was strong. monday was off the charts. amazing to see and i don't watch all the networks. i'm just not home at 6 watch "special report." nbc, cbs and abc only one mentioned the union device. that's significant. it blurs the line. ainsley: they don't want that message out. because those folks were hillary clinton supporters and now they are being -- they are meeting at the white house with the president? brian: right. steve: sure. when it comes to the message, the president has a new person, sean spicer, he got solid reviews from the left and the right. when asked about fairness he eviscerated the room on

fairness for six minutes. ainsley: ari fleischer was here yesterday i said that has to be the toughist job because you are bombarded by questions. you have to know your stuff. i said what do you if you don't know the answer you try never to be in that situation. if you are you just say i don't have the answer and i will get back to you. brian: or say i can't hear you over and over again. ainsley: this so ever. everyone leave. steve: sean was more conversant about policy. fell he has a good man in the briefing room. he. brian: reporters from around the country will be able to skype in a certain amount every day. you don't have to be in washington. ainsley: so much better to be in the briefing room and be in your pajamas at home. steve: look who is skypeing now she is in person. he. heather: great to have all of you back together. mother nature one of our top stories today unleashing her fury across the country. a powerful nor'easter now

president donald trump hitting the ground running on his very first day in office. so how did the mainstream media cover it? >> a rough start to his president a weekend of tweeting tantrums and falsehoods from the president and his spokesman. >> a flurry of activity after a rocky weekend, trump and his team spent defends the size of inauguration crowd. >> his press secretary today pressed about his own inaccurate claim. >> did you hear sean spicer saying he can disagree with the facts or bring his own facts or as kellyanne conway conway called them alternate facts. >> major lawsuit accuses the president of violating the constitution. >> four days into the trump administration and just two cabinet nominees have been confirmed. brian: wow, joining us with her reaction is washington examiner examiner kristin schools tis anderson. do you think they are playing it fair so far? >> i think some of those headlines you just talked about there, for instance the number of cabinet appoint years they have confirmed is a fact and something important for voters to know.

some cases it was all about the media looking at the trump administration almost exclusively through the lens of how this are they dealing with the media oscar movies about making movies. it's the media saying we are going to judge trump primarily not on the policy things that he's doing but, rather, on how well he is dealing with us. which i don't think is the right yardstick and i don't think is how most americans really are going to look at this presidency. brian: nobody thinks it's saturday. bringing up crowd advise worked to the president's advantage. big mistake. monday went well and was news making day. one of which is you flip the political calculus on its head blue collar union workers meeting with the president and thanking him for being on their side. bernie sanders said i back what president trump has done. john mccain condemning it at the same time. then you have other news coming down the pike when he talks about a border tax. this is news worthy.

but for 75 minutes sean spicer was only dealing with what happened on saturday. it didn't make any sense. >> well, i think that you're right. and that we should be focusing more on big policy issues. this is a really interesting time in washington and in american politics where you are scrambling the deck on what the different parties believe, what principles are going to be at the forefront. this is incredibly interesting realigning moment. in this case the reason why there was so much focus on trust issue with sean spoilser is that right now there is a really big broken trust issue between the white house, the trump administration and the media the reason why that's a problem is when you are in the white house, if you come out with a fact like metro ridership that in the end isn't a big deal. if it winds up being wrong the problem is then when people need to hear from their leaders do they know that they can trust them? it goes the other way from the media when little things like does trump have a bust of mlk in his office turns out he

does then people don't trust the media if we have a terrorist attack you need to be able to trust the white house and the media. brian: great point. thank you so much. >> thank you. brian: when we come back the wood house brothers will debate the republican and democratic side and somehow keep their mom out of it don't miss a minute.

risk by not confirming president trump's cabinet? here to debate we have got the brothers. dallas wood house executive director of the north carolina g.o.p. and his brother brad the president of the americans united for change. fellow, good morning to you, happy new year. >> happy new year. >> okay, brad, let's start with you, why are the democrats slow-walking the president's cabinet? >> first of all, i don't believe they are slow-walking. >> of course they are. come on. >> no, look, steve, if you look at a lot of these problems they exist because the trump transition, trump white house didn't have its act together. steve: not a problem with mike pompeo and chuck schumer. >> hold on, steve, steve, look, mike pompeo was approved yesterday. the first full work day of this administration. there is no precedent for the cia director to be approved on the day of the inauguration. the two most important are two of the very important national security posts, secretary of defense, secretary of home land security were approved

and sworn in on inauguration day. the suggestion here that there should be no debate about trump's nominee and that somehow the suggestion that democrats are obstructing his nominees after eight years of republican obstruction of everything, everyone that obama set forward is the highest form -- steve: dallas, chuck schumer made a deal with the incoming administration you get three on your first day. at the 11th hour chuck schumer changed his mind and said you don't get mike pompeo. you get him next week. it looks like they are slow-walking it. why? >> i think it was a horrible few days for the senate majority leader chuck schumer, really a despicable. >> thank you for making him the senate majority leader, dallas. >> excuse me. the senate minority leader. you rib can you say out flight attendants. call him nasty names. >> wait, dallas, dallas, you want to get into a debate

about people calling people -- calling women nasty names? does he really want to get into a debate. >> senator burr. >> dallas, you should stick to the issue here. steve: brad, let your brother talk. >> senator burr from north carolina not a person who says incendiary things said chuck schumer lied me. chuck schumer said they would confirm the cia director and then they didn't do it. that will cause problems in this process. it shows that the republicans cannot trust the senate minority leader, a person at this point who is dedicated to keeping the senate in the minority because he can't keep his word and work with majority. the sides have to work together for national security and chuck schumer did not do that this weekend. and it is bad for the democrats because if something were to happen, they would have had the blame on them. he is not somebody republicans can trust and they shouldn't. >> dallas, you have a president who has said that he wants to bring bac backwater

boarding and torture. >> tell me why chuck schumer didn't keep his word. >> because the president is nominating people who conflict directly with the policies he promoted on the campaign trail. steve: brad, mike pompeo in his confirmation hearing said he would not waterboard so i don't know where you are coming up with that. >> that is right. that is different than what president trump said. that is direct contradiction. steve: so then why would you have a problem with mike pompeo? >> because, because you need to have a president and cia director. a president and cabinet nominee speaking off the same hymn book. if you don't think those questions are he he he he important to answer then why have the process. >> steve the biggest objection democrats have to republican nominees is that they're republican. period. steve: there you go. probably sums it up. brad and dallas, always exciting. who needs coffee when you have

administer it have so much discretion. is he now telling them how to exercise their discretion against the law and in favor of the people. ainsley: let's get to some other ones. mexico city policy. this is where we are going to be in funding for international groups that perform abortions. >> the federal government gives away a lot of the money to groups to most folk who pay money to the federal government that i have never heard of. if there is a foreign group that lobbies a foreign government to pay for abortions in a foreign country, republican presidents have banned it. democratic presidents have permitted it. this one keeps going back and forth. reagan banned it, the two bushes banned it clinton permitted it and obama moo permitted it and trump is banning it. ainsley: what about tpp. >> the president has the right to do that. tpp transpacific partnership was never ratified by the congress. it was just an executive agreement entered into between barack obama and the countries in the pacific rim we're out of it now, it's going to take

a little while to unwind that because trade deals that were constructed pursuant to it are midstream, but no new deals. and we'll begin to wind it down. because, according to donald trump, he is absolutely correct, this drives too much wealth and too many jobs overseas. ainsley: all right. the last one we will talk about is the hiring freeze for the federal government. hiring freeze with exception of military and public safety personnel. >> also freeze on pay increases. is he probably going to get under the skin of a lot of federal employees. guess what, they have a new boss. the new boss means what he says. and new boss believes, guess what, the government works for us. we don't work for the government. if he can get them to work less expensive with fewer people, and consuming fewer assets, he's going to do it. ainsley: just temporary until he can find a long-term solution. >> it shows a couple of things. shows the power of an individual in the white house, the principles. and it shows his utter

fidelity to what he said he was going to do. he's doing it he is not wasting any time. ainsley: thank you, judge. >> last week he predicted he would be signing 200 executive orders his first week in office is he half way there. ainsley: president trump hitting the ground running like you were saying. the journalists are not too happy with how they're being tweeted corey lewandowski and counselor to the president kellyanne conway conway are going to join us in the next hour. out-of-control passenger tossed off a plane for lashing out at a trump supporter. >> that man doesn't believe in climate change. do you believe in gravity? ainsley: do you believe in gravity she asked. target of that woman's range. there he is. ahead. ♪ i want to scream and shout ♪ and let it all out ♪ and scream and shout ♪ and let it out ♪

the woman next to you says so are you here to cheer or protest? and you said what and then she did what? >> i said that i was here to celebrate democracy. and before i even got the chance to sit down in my seat, she just went off zero to 60 in salute nothing. and it was just a myriad of insults and, you know, disparaging remarks that she had to make brian brian you are stuck on window seat. what's the reaction from everybody around you. all eyes were on her, no doubt. everyone was very baffled at this lady's behavior. steve: what are some of the things, scott, that she said to you? >> oh, she just said, you know, shame on me. she used many explicits at me.

she belittled my appearance. she said it was good i didn't have children. they didn't deserve to be raised by someone like me. ainsley: wow. sounds like a nice person. so, scott, you get out your cell phone and you're recording this. did you say anything back to her? >> no. i for the most part just decided to remain silent and, you know, let the situation iron itself out. brian: you don't see staying in touch with her?

we will talk about that with corey lewandowski coming up. steve: all politics. one side trying slow down trump. trump had such a big day yesterday. he's stealing all the headlines. ainsley: in the oval office signing executive orders. donald trump gearing up for another day on tuesday. breakfast with the auto ceos as he is working to keep jobs here in america. steve: this as democrats keep wasting time delaying his cabinet perhaps for political reasons poised to make the process even more painful over the next several weeks. brian: white house correspondent kevin corke forced to deal with the elements. he just has winter to handle. is poised to tell us what's happening in the white house. ainsley: kevin, you can handled cold it's the wind that gets us. >> i'm from colorado. a little cold doesn't bother me at awesome the wind was coming in sideways yesterday. pretty crazy stuff. as far as the conversation goes with u.s. automakers. it's simple. stomp moving plants to mexico. build the cars and keep the jobs here.

push them over the finish line. hhs and budget director set to testify today and, again, we're going to see if the democrats will finally play ball and to help the president finally fill out his cabinet. they are not going to help but they will try to get the job done anyway. meanwhile, we talked about the contentious nature of the ongoing battles for confirmation. let me share part of a conversation that we heard, about this exchange over the senate floor between chuck schumer and tom cotton. now, it's believed that schumer said, listen, where were you 8 years ago. sort of referring to cotton saying where were you during president obama's cabinet battles to which cotton is said to have replied 8 years ago i was getting my well, you know, shot at in afghanistan. so don't talk to me about where i was eight years ago. we give him bonus points for clarity and for being pithy. i want to show you a tweet from the president of the united states he says right there we'll be meeting at 9:00 with top automobile executives concerning jobs in america.

i wants new jobs ti want new plt here for cars sold here. part of the day will include a meeting with his chief of staff reince priebus signing an executive order at 11:00. speaking with indian prime minister modi at 1:00. meet with cia director mike pompeo one of the very few cabinet members -- technically he is not gheant member. at that level. finally been confirmed. then meeting with key senate leadership and then with mitch mcconnell. part of what promises to be a fairly busy day. i want to let you know as we continue to sort of watch the meetings, the back and forth between the president and some of these major business leaders, it's the kind of conversation that he said he would have on behalf of the american people and that's another promise kept. guys? steve: it is, indeed. kevin corke north lawn of the white house. how about props to tom cotton. ainsley: i love that. steve: getting in schumer's face saying -- ainsley: where was? i i was fighting for you and our country. steve: what were you doing?

politics. brian: y league grad wen -- he. ainsley: corey lewandowski joins us this morning to tell us what's happening there in washington. yesterday, corey, well, throughout the last few days, i should say, the democrats have been dragging their feet and so some are wondering is donald trump, when it comes to these confirmations, the cabinet confirmations, people are wondering when is donald trump going to unleash his twitter account on them. as you know anything he puts on twitter it gets the attention of a lot of people, 50 million to be exact and then things start to happen. >> that's very true. it's fair to say in this notion of hyper partisan politics right now, the democrats want to do everything they can to slow down the confirmation process which i don't fundamentally understand. because what these potential secretaries are going to be is out creating jobs an helping america move forward. reducing our deficit. isn't that bipartisan issue? this is chuck schumer at his worst, unfortunately, what we finally saw was, you know, president went to the cia.

he said let's pompeo done. the next day first day of business in washington on monday following that mr. pompeo was confirmed as the next director of central intelligence. let's get everybody done so we can move the country forward. brian: we do have some good news it looks like ryan zinke and governor perry are going to get their nominations voted on today which they are going to get through. rex tillerson got through committee, which means it's just a formality to go to the senate. so is he only a day or two away. things are getting done but just knot quick. this is a problem with washington. what donald trump gets done in wii one day it takes congress a week to do. this is a fund mental difference. this is why washington doesn't understand how quickly the president wants to move. he doesn't have time to slow down and wait for congress to act on things. he wants to get it done today. you see him meeting with auto executives. saw him meeting with labor industry members that never happens this quickly. of the president is on the ground. is he fulfilling his campaign promises. more importantly is he trying to bring jobs back to our country. it's the top priority of this

administration. steve: you know, corey, i was talking to a couple of people, one person voted for trump. the other didn't. they were watching everything that happened yesterday and they were saying, you know, this guy is actually -- you know, he made some campaign promises and on day one he pulled the plug on tpp which is great. then you saw the union leaders which you just met not one of them probably voted for donald trump. they all voted for hillary clinton and they are by the end of the meeting with him they are going this guy is fantastic. >> it's so typical. every time the president has the opportunity to bring those people in and talk to them on a small group environment, they all walk away. look, we saw it with jim brown. we saw it with kanye and al gore. you have to understand the president is a dealmaker. he is the type of person who wants to bring people together for the good of the country. so if you are in the labor industry and you've had the opportunity to meet with the president and his priority is creating jobs, of course you want to help him do that, the auto industry. the pharmaceutical industry. whatever it may be. when he brings you in and says we are going to create jobs for our people here, that's good for everybody. it's a win. ainsley: so press secretary

sean spicer was there in the press briefing room, the brady briefing room yesterday. he was sending a message there is a new sheriff in town. it's going to be different for the next four years. >> well, it has to be. you have to understand. you know, this administration, once again, leading up to the entire campaign has had an adversarial relationship with the media because they have been very dishonest. we saw it the first eight hours of the administration where they said the bust of martin luther king jr. was removed from the oval office. we know it didn't happen. maybe it was oversight but also went to 3,000 different outlets before they actually reporterred it was a mistake. what sean was talking about and what this administration is going to be able to do is go directly to the american people. very important. brian: corey, there is two things that happened. while donald trump has incredible first day from charles krauthammer to other experts, bill bennett they just said this is as productive as ever seen. on saturday coming out and talking about crowd size. mentioning aside to congressional leaders there were 3 million illegals that vote i had. the media, who does not want to give him credit, like it or not, it's a fact, runs to

those things. so, having said the reality as it is, not the way you want it to be, do you think donald trump will change his approach to not give the media what they want, which is a distraction from what he is doing? >> i think this president is really focused on creating jobs and reducing our deficit, repealing and replacing obamacare. those are the issues that are the priority of this administration. and so, look, i hope that's what they are going to talk about moving forward. i think that's what some of the conversations are going to be with the senate leadership today. he is meeting with senator mcconnell later today. it's really born that his congressional and legislative agenda is being accomplished on capitol hill. that's the priority here, which is all about job creation. steve: you know, what was interesting when sean spicer was out there he said, you know, and jonathan karl essentially said so can you promise us that you are going to tell the truth up there, which i don't remember him asking anybody during the obama administration the same thing. he said essentially, you know, i'm going to tell the truth, but keep in mind this is something that works both ways. you know, in all -- and then

he eviscerated the room on being fair because they have not been fair historically to donald trump. at every corner. sean spicer detailed it at every single corner they have said he can't do this, he won't do that, he's a bad guy blah, blah, blah. sean let him have it. >> look, again, it's a different way to have a relationship. now, do you think the white house wants to have a good relationship with the media? of course they do. but it's very important that the media is honest. what we have seen from exit polling and from research conducted after the election that most of the people believed that the media was biased against donald trump. however, fortunately, of the media research center reported that 97% of the people who voted didn't let the media's bias actually affect the outcome of their vote. look, the media has to do a the media's job is not to make the news it's to report the news. unfortunately what we are seeing time and time again of these reporters who are going out and they want to be the news story. that's differential. that's not how it should be. steve: you're right about that. all right. corey, thank you very much for joining us live this morning. good luck to you. >> such a pleasure.

ainsley: let's hand it over to heather who has more headlines for us. >> one of the big stories we are following today is the weather. if you live along the east coast it is something else. mother nature unleashing her fury across a significant part of the country. a powerful nor'easter roaring up the east coast packing hurricane speed winds and pounding rains. we have brand new video. take a look at this. it is from scituate massachusetts just south of boston obviously along the coast. things are pretty messy there. then in philadelphia, take a look at this. the storm killing a man there after winds ripping a side off the side of a car dealership and that pinned him against a car. this is the same weather system that's responsible for that 48-hour tornado rampage in the south that has killed at least 20 people. so we are praying for folks and their safety today. janice will have more on this throughout the morning. 8,000 gallons of fuel exploding into a towering fireball after a tanker crashes. the heart-stopping moments unfolding along a highway in

columbus, ohio. look at this. >> get back! get back! get back! look at that all across the overpass. the fire engulfing a tractor-trailer. it killed the driver inside that truck. the horrific aftermath just terrifying. afterwards, you just see the skeleton of a truck. police still investigating what caused that crash. president trump's campaign promise to build a massive wall on the southern border already in the works. >> the president has noted that this was a serious priority of his throughout the campaign. he has already started to work with congress on the appropriations avenue of that and so he is doing everything he can to direct agencies and congress to commence with that work as soon as possible. heather: mr. trump says mexico will reimburse the u.s. for the cost of that wall. busy start to this administration. steve: do you think? heather: plenty going on. brian: president trump rolling out his plan to keep businesses made in america.

>> we think we can cut regulations by 75%. maybe more. but by 75%. brian: is he going to make them want to stay. can he get that done? stuart varney is here. and he promised to eventually answer that question. steve: would you rather be at home with a nagging wife or in the slammer? guess which one that guy from kansas chose.

that? >> okay. bear n mind between 2005 and 2015, the rate of new business formation was cut in hazel. largely because of new regulations that came on, making us a cannot do, a can't do society. president trump wants to roll that back and yesterday was a declaration of intent. this is what i am going to do. by the way, he started already. one of the executive orders that he signed yesterday is not just a hiring freeze at the federal government. it's also a freeze on new regulations. he started. brian: he said when he was traveling the country campaigning he asked small business owners what could i do to make your life better? tax cuts or regulations? and he said it was 100 percent help me with regulations. get rid of the regulations and let me work. >> it's environmental, health, and safety regulations that are promulgated in recent years.

-- the first things the lawyers do is go to court and challenge that change and rules and regulations. say you can't do that. you can't do that. that's not according to the environmental protection laws. that's going to be a challenge for the president. brian: rick santorum wrote about it. he said the problem with th thet the vote of the blue collar. antiunion anti-worker. what changed yesterday. >> he turned politics upside down. he brought in the union people and union people said hey, we're getting some respect. we're in the oval office. we're in the white house. we're being listened to. they liked it and i believe that about half of union households in america voted for trump on november the 8th. that's politics turned upside down because union households, union people generally vote democrat. this time half of them went with trump. brian: right.

you just wonder if there is somewhat of a danger of getting too tight with unions because when you bulk up their officers, maybe that the union workers don't get what they need. >> look, i think mr. trump is looking to all sectors for support in revitalizing american business, that includes the unions. brian: it's workers first. all right. stuart, thanks so much. watch 9 to noon all three hours because there is a quiz at the end. usually done online. >> i will be there, i promise. brian: stuart varney, see you later. almost unimaginable. gold star families sacrifice so much, pushed, spit on, things thrown at. called names outside inaugural ball by anti-trump protesters. i was there they join us live with a message from america. you haven't seen the last of the clintons. new reports about their political revenge coming up. ♪ down in a flame of glory ♪ take me down ♪

nearly 60% drop from his first term. and that's news by the numbers. now, this ainsley. ainsley: thank you, steve. ryan man i don'mannion. best friend and husband of amy loany, lieutenant brendan loony was killed in afghanistan. well, ryan and amy went to washington for the inauguration and as they were driving up to the veterans inaugural ball where brian was, they noticed this group of angry protesters. they filmed it on their cell phones. but the video does not show what happened next. they were actually assaulted. they were pushed. they were spit on. and they were called names. and they join me now. we welcome ryan mannion and amy loony. together they lead the travis mannion foundation. good morning, ladies. thanks for being with us. >> good morning, ainsley. ainsley: ryan, i will start with you. what happened? >> we were excited to be attending the veterans inaugural ball honoring close to 40 medal of honor

recipients that night. amy and i were representing the mannion foundation. unfortunately as we got there, we found ourselves separated from the rest of the group that was walking to the gala that night and were caught in between entrance to the event and about 75 protesters that got very angry with us. and really converged on us and did the horrible things that you just talked about. ainsley: amy, i'm sure your reaction was just disbelief. but what hurt you the most about this? >> you know, i think that it was for ryan and i, you know, we were there to support our military community, which is a community that has given, you know, so much to us through our loss and through the work we do at the travis mannion foundation and empowering our veterans and families that have fall ton develop character in future generations. so to witness this act and to

see, you know, i hate to even refer to it as protesting because it was an accelerated version of that to say the least was really hard when we try to own still unity versus creating more division. ainsley: ryan, tell me your brother. >> my brother was my best friend. we were 15 months apart. and he and brendan are the inspiration behind everything we do at the travis mannion foundation. i think we have incredible opportunity here to start a dialogue about how we can celebrate our differences as opposed to using violence and inciting hate. ainsley: i want to talk about the foundation but, first, amy, i want you to honor your husband. what was he like? >> words can't even express, you know, the amazing man that brendan is. and, you know, service before self was something that was so important to him. so, you know, him being able to give back to his country, putting himself on the line was something that he prided himself the most in.

ainsley: i know amy you were telling our producers earlier. so protesters were yelling get a job. get a job. guess what you do have a job you started the travis manion foundation. what's the. >> our mission is re2350eu7bing america's national character. through the programming and work we do we are creating unity, we are bringing communities together. we're not dividing and tearing them apart. and through working with our veteran community and our families of the fallen and showing them as assets within their own community, instilling their leadership, their service, character, integrity. things that are very important for our younger generations to know so that they are able to instill this for generations to come. it's incredibly important work. so for me as many vulgar things that were said that evening, saying get a job was quite the opposite of everything that we're doing at the travis manion foundation. we are working to change this

narrative and to change this dialogue and to show how the military community is really being assets within their own community. ainsley: we thank you for that ryan, what's your message to the protesters? >> my message to the protesters is and, again, i hate to use the word protesters because there was a very big difference between what took place on friday night and what amy and i experienced. and what we saw on saturday. but my message is how can we use our differences to unite our country? we live in the greatest country in the world. we have the incredible assets of our nation's veterans who can -- we can use as examples, examples for how you demonstrate leadership and courage, all the things that amy talked about. at the end of the day, let's bring it back to character. let's bring it back to making schuyler that each and every one of us use the words that my brother said and live lives of character. he. ainsley: amy, ryan, thank you

advisor to president trump. good morning to kellyanne. >> good morning. steve: is day two going to be as busy as day one? he met with business leaders. he met with union leaders. i signed a bunch of stuff. he fulfilled some campaign promises. what's left. >> he let with by camera and bipartisan leaders in the senate last night. it doesn't end. there is plenty left. i say this is a president of immediate action. we saw it just on day one. three executive orders. two unbelievable meetings. the first one with ceos of major companies, major crob creators across our country. especially those in manufacturing. really trying to find out how to increase the manufacturing explosion. keep those factories and american workers here instead of going abroad. then he met with labor union leaders and labor errors themselves. what struck me most is when they were asked to tell the president how many had visited the oval office in the past, really just a paltry hands were raised. that was astonishing to me.

we are told labor heads and rank and file are democrats. that did not happen this last election. many of them went over for president trump and some districts and some counties supported him dramatically in some case. quite dramatically. it's really great to see him today. hour right behind us the president will be having breakfast with the leaders of automobile manufacturers of the auto industry talking to them, again, about how to keep them here and jobs here. and how we can help. how they can help. he'll also be talking to the prime minister of india. he will be having some other meetings this afternoon. and i think he is going to continue to meet with these different leaders to try to repeal and replace obamacare. you see last night two republican senators introduced legislation. we'll take a look at that. obviously we need congressman and dr. price confirmed for us to really get a handle on repealing and replacing obamacare. all of these plans include health savings accounts.

include patient centered more free market solutions. brian: very interesting senator cassidy joining us later is he a co-sponsor along with senator collins give people choice and states choice. president trump has looked at all of it but hasn't made a decision yet. yesterday, 50's looking at what was happening in the news it's pretty substantial when bernie sanders is praising president trump to say thanks for rejecting the tpp union. ainsley: and union leaders. brian: yeah, pretty big news as ainsley mentioned that the union leaders are saying, you know, it's great to meet with president trump and get this type of recognition. but, in the end, they were talking about saturday's crowd size and talking about what he might have mentioned to other leaders about 3 million illegals voting. if that is -- if those are the rules of the game, kellyanne, will you change your tactics to win the rules that the journalists are playing? >> the best thing that we could do moving forward is to try to have a respectful relationship and open relationship with a free and

honest press. steve: um-huh. >> there is some descriptive and narrative that have to apply. i thought our press secretary sean spicer delivered tour deforce deliverance. he was fantastic. left of center pleased to serve with him and proud of him. he was engaged. he talked about the fact that he was given misinformation early on but that we'll try to tell the truth every time -- we will always be truthful. i also think that he tried to break news for the president and push back on falsehoods and falsely at the negative coverage. he will continue to be the most beautiful communicator and connector than i have ever witnessed by communicating with people through social media platforms. facebook, twitter and instagram by having me and folks out here with his message what's going on in the day. it struck me last night at the end of day one everything in trump world always feels like we did it in dog years like you have to multiply it by seven. it's unbelievable.

you had one guy here for eight years. you have president trump here for eight hours. it just already feels like the trump effect. ainsley: what did president trump say about what chuck schumer is doing and democrats are doing to delay the cabinet selection he is? >> we would prefer some the democrats stop playing politics with our cabinet nominees. we have not been given the same deference in just the same shear numbers that president obama and even president bush had at this point in their early presidencies. president obama had seven on day one. it would have been last friday. we had two. now we have three. so they are slow-walking some of these very qualified brilliant men and women. i agree with pump when he says this is probably the highest iqed cabinet in modern history. slow-walking them. in part just to have the lethargy of government to which they are accustomed. we need a fully functioning government. please, go ahead and approve, confirm our nominees for treasury, for commerce, for

education. steve: america is waiting. a couple of days ago you were on some of the sunday shows and you were talking about sean spicer's statement the day before. you said he was presenting some alternative facts. you just kind of touched on that. the information regarding the crowd size that was democrat that given to the administration by the inaugural committee. and it was wrong. and that got corrected, correct? >> that's right. it was alternative information. people try to make it a thing because they don't want to look at the rest of those interviews. 35 minutes worth of three or four sunday show interviews, ladies and gentlemen, where i took on the media for reporting -- for not reporting facts that matter to women. they want to report on the women's march. they want to count this and count that let's talk about the quantifiable things about the millions of women who find every day life unaffordable. who find healthcare out of reach and inaccessible. even those who have it can't use it. steve: they left that part out onchts they left all of that out. i also reminded them that

their approval rating is very low and they have earned it. i mean, i'm a very open press person. and i think for people to ignore the fullness of those interviews just to try to, you know, shame or blame one of us is not going to work. and we just plow forward every single day. we are here for the american people. we are not here for the establishment, for elites. we are here to deliver on the promises and the plans that this man has put forward. do you know how significant it is for pump to have withdrawn from tpp and the signal that sends steve it's huge. >> he will negotiate bilateral trade deals. they will put the american worker front and center every single time. brian: is it true when donald trump saw the size of the protest an the women out there and being so close to the white house, is it true that he wanted to bring 15 to the white house to find out what exactly the issues they wanted addressed and security stopped it? >> well, as witnessed yesterday, we are always open to have a dialogue with those

who may disagree with some of our positions, some of president trump's positions. is he a master at that. masterful at being very open and honest with those who disagree with him. he said it on elections night. we had labor union leaders he classic constituency ended now with president trump. so i have actually had some outreach with from some of them because they saw me on the sunday shows why don't you stop trading the diatribe for dialogue. reach out to those women and hear their concerns. i would like to say many of the pro-lifers i know were completely unwelcome and shut out from this quote march by women. of course it will be the annual march for life this friday. i will be attending. we will have representation from the administration. this is a pro-life president. their voices are heard yesterday he also lawsuit inned mexico city policy so that we as a nation are not sending money to countries

that perform abortions and sterilization. the taxpayers should not be funding that. ainsley: do you think the mainstream media will be reporting on pro-life march like they did the other march. >> i will be counting that. i would be open to that expecting robust march. these come out like the post men, they come out every year. this year they're coming, i think, to celebrate the election of a pro-life president. and all that that means for the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. brian: i hear that tom brady and donald trump are friends and have been for like 15 years, at least, as long as he has been a pro. and now he goes to another super bowl, is he getting blow back about that friendship and it's only going to heat up. what's the president's reaction to some of the blow back tom brady and others are receiving like tiger woods. >> president trump is just so grateful that friends like tom brady are loyal and can ignore the shrapnel, the verbal

shrapnel. i assume the owner of the team is a good friend of the president's who came to the inauguration. just a fabulous man. and leader in this country. but, look, we appreciate that those friendships are -- just ignore the nay sayers and the critics. we are very accustomed to this. look at what you were saying. people are saying don't invite kellyanne on tv anymore. i have news for them. steve: she is going to be on tv. >> you will see me all the time. ainsley: you are stands in front of the white house. have you been there for a few days now. any fun stories you can share with us that have happened inside? brian: you have seen lincoln? >> it's a matter trying to keep up with the president. steve: good luck. >> throws of us who have worked for him in the campaign or the corporation, frankly on or abouted in the transition, already know he is high energy and high impact. but it has not abated for a moment. ainsley: you haven't had time to let it sink in. steve: trade in high heels for tennis shoes you will need them. >> i will have to do that.

he is just so open. i think i will give you one quick story whether it's the press pool or the labor union workers or the certainly foreign leaders who are coming and manufacturing ce ohs yesterday, he meets with them in the roosevelt room but then he takes them in the oval office. ainsley: we will get cut off. >> take care, bye-bye.

heather: oh my goodness. wow. well, four of the six candidates campaigning against brown are minorities. it turns out hillary clinton has been doing a lot more than walking in the woods. according to politico she and former president bill clinton have been studying what led to her loss and then plotting their next political move. party leaders and friends expect the couple to jump bang into political campaigning and fundraising within the year but they say neither is likely to run for office. although we keep hearing about maybe running for mayor of new york. and those are your headlines. see you soon. steve: thank you, heather. ainsley: president trump still has an important pick to make. steve: this morning we now know when to expect a much anticipated announcement with a name. brian: person who knows more about this is kristin fisher. she told us she did anyway. is it true can you help us with this story. >> i'm not lying i have a bit more information i can share with you because we got some words yesterday from the white house press secretary sean

spicer and the exact words that he used were in the next week or. so that's when president trump hopes to put forward his pick to replace the late justice antonin scalia. one conservative judge rumored to be at the top of the list is judge william pryor who met with mr. trump about two weeks ago in new york. he has called row v. wade an abomination. he believes that the constitution should be interpreted on original public meaning and so does another top contender kneel gore such. he currently sits on the tenth circuit of appeals in colorado. is he perhaps known for upholding religious liberty rights in legal battles over obamacare. >> he believes that the meaning of the constitution was fixed at the time it was ratified. and was changed only at the times it was amended. it's not to be changed by the public's view of it or as justice ginsburg has argued a living document to meet the political needs of the time. >> now, remember, before becoming president mr. trump

pledged to nominate someone at the supreme court went first two weeks of his administration. what appears is that president trump is on track to keep that promise. brian, ainsley, and steve? steve: all right, she did know more. [laughter] >> told ya. brian: thanks, kristin. meanwhile, straight ahead, press secretary sean spicer says not in this white house. >> going to have a healthy dialogue not just with you but the american people. the default narrative is always negative and it's demoralizing. brian: so how do you play that out with voters? lee carter has the brand new dials just ahead. she's getting closer and closer and closer. steve: come on lee. come on. ♪ how does that feel ♪ it's not something you do now and then. or when it's convenient. it's using state-of-the-art simulators to better prepare for any situation. it's giving offshore teams onshore support. and it's empowering anyone to stop a job if something doesn't seem right.

steve: well, president trump's first few days in office are under his belt and at times things have gotten testy. here to break it down on day two is president and partner lee carter. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: yesterday, sean spicer held court in the brady briefing room for over an hour. watch the dials. do people like him? well, just watch this. >> you have a right to go out there and go out there and correct the record. i think that over and over again there is this attempt to go after this president a say well that can't be true. and that's not right. and the numbers went there. there is a rush to judgment every time. it's a two-way street. we want to have a healthy and open dialogue with the press corps and with the american people about what he's doing to help this country and to unite it. but at a time when is he trying to unite us and he keeps talking about uniting this nation, bringing people together. and then a tweet goes out in a pool report to a few thousand people saying that he removed the bust of martin luther king? how do you think that goes over?

steve the red line off the chart. >> that's right republicans gave this an a and independents a b and democrats not all that surprisingly an f. here's the deal, the republicans really like the fact that is he fighting back, that he is setting the record straight and he is not just taking things at status quo. the democrats, on the other hand, we saw at the inaugural address they are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and willing to listen. there has been damage done by the march and by spicer's comments on saturday. people aren't willing to trust him right now. i think the fact that he got out there, set the record straight, had a different tone is going to go a long way. i love the fact and so do the voters that they are coming back strong, that they are not hiding and not, you know, not taking everything back. they're going to be -- steve: spicer made it very clear, reporters i'm going to be honest with you but you have got to be honest with the people. >> that's right. steve: meanwhile, here is donald trump talking about cutting taxes, watch the lines. >> we are going to be cutting taxes massively for both the

middle class and for companies. and that's massively. we're trying to get it down to anywhere from 15 to 20% and it's now 35% but it's probably more 38% than it is 35, wouldn't you say? that's a big thing. steve: okay. the independents once again tracking with the republicans. >> that's right. republicans a, independence a b, democrats a d minus. but no matter where you dial it, they say donald trump is a man of action. one respondent said that. they were, in fact, a democrat and they are impressed that he is keeping his promises on day one and hitting the ground running. steve: regarding the democrats, how can you be against tax cuts? hello. >> i get it. steve: maybe they think that washington is spending the money wisely. >> could be. steve: not. all right. lee carter, always a pleasure. >> great to be here. thanks so much. steve: all right. coming up top of the hour laura ingraham live on president trump's very busy day ahead and his first day. and would you rather be at

the union leaders. steve: and they're loving it. ainsley: that sound byte, that was the most incredible meeting of my career. brian: sean, president of the north american building trade unions after meeting with president trump. ainsley: we're going to talk about all of that. but first, let's get some headlines with our friend heather. >> we're watching the weather. that's one of the stories we're following today. mother nature. take a look at this. unleashing her fourier across the country. roaring under the influence east coast with rain and winds in massachusetts. and then this storm killing a man there after the storm ripped a sign off a car dealership and pins him against a car. the same storm responsible for a 48-hour rampage in the south that killed 28 people. a phone call between the national security adviser mike flynn and a russian diplomat. the agencies scouring over the december 29th conversation.

it became the first day that former president obama interference in the presidential election. sean spicer says the conversation was nothing more than setting up a call between president trump and russian president vladimir putin. he was tight-lipped during the election but now super bound quarterback tom brady breaks his silence about his friendship with president trump. >> i have called him, yes, in the past. you know, sometimes he calls me. sometimes i call him. he's been very supportive of me for a long time, so it's just a friendship. and i have a lot of friends, so i call a lot of people. >> there you go. according to white house senior adviser kellyanne conway, it's the friendship that the president values. >> president trump is just so grateful that friends like tom brady are loyal and can, you know, ignore the shrapnel, the verbal psychological necessarily. >> well, the patriots mvp says he's known the president for 16 years.

and those are your headlines. steve: all right. heather, thank you very much. brian: it used to be a plus if you knew the president. steve: plus they have something else in common. they are both married to super models. brian: that's very true. steve: just saying. brian: so they have something to talk about. ainsley: football and pretty ladies. steve: today the day, and she joins us from our nation's capitol. hey, laura. >> hey, guys, good to see you. steve: is your head spinning from all the things trump did on day one? >> i should be wearing red, white, and blue. no, i'm so he pleased to see that on the first full day in the oval office, donald trump begins to fulfill the promises he made on the campaign trail, which has been come to be a surprise, sadly, for a lot of people watching politicians over the years. but whether it's the issue that all of us have talked about. i mean, i've talked about for years and years the transpacific partnership,

which was a sell out of american sovereignty. steve: gone. >> that's gone. that was music to my ears. so donald trump does that, he moves forward with pulling the funding of abortion services overseas, the so-called mexico city policy, which, again, as a pro-life crowd is going to show up in massive numbers on friday here. again, it's so welcome after so many years of living under barack obama and the culture of death. so this is all very positive, and i think yesterday i don't see how it could have gone much better for the trump administration. ainsley: lori, you mentioned the tpp, and we were talking about it all morning. you're saying most of the leaders he meet the with yesterday probably voted for hillary clinton. you have john mccain who said it was a serious mistake. but then you have bernie sanders who's agreeing with donald trump. listen to what the union workers said about the meeting. >> we just had probably the most incredible meeting of our

careers with the president, the vice president, and the senior staff when the president laid out his plans about how he's going to handle trade, how he's going to invest in infrastructure, and how he's going to level the playing field for construction workers across this country. and then took the time to take everyone into the oval office and show them the seat of power in the world. the respect that the president of the united states just showed us and when he shows it to us, he shows it to three million of our members in the united states. nothing short of incredible. and we will work with him and the administration. >> small glimpse over the years of people who didn't support trump once they see him roll out these beneficial plans. >> this is very, very smart. and this does not surprise me one bit. steve especially kellyanne conway, they understand that

the message of economic populism is not limited by party structure. it is going to be sold and, in fact, i think marketed to a wide range of americans who will see its benefits. the globalists and the republican party, they're not going to be happy because they're used to the old regime. they are the old dinosaurs of the gop, and i'm not saying this as a personal insult, but that's the old way of thinking. the new way of thinking is we're going to do smart trade, it's going to be more bilateral than the hydraof the 4,000 page transpacific partnership. we're going to look out for america patents, america's intellectual property. let me tell you a quick narrative, guys. a friend of mine marty davis runs cambria countertops in minnesota. okay? this is an unbelievable company. they employ thousands of people in the united states. he calls the other day and says you know china is ripping

off our ip on how to design this and producing these small batch countertops that are going to try to compete with ours. undercan you go to our profit margin, forcing us to make changes in the way we obviously hire and so forth. and he says this happens routinely across the united states and yet there's no one to stand up for american corporations. i think what you see -- and you saw yesterday is donald trump going to be standing up for american workers and american manufacturing. that is music to the ears of democrats and republicans. and that has to stop. we have to look out for our own people. brian: and when it comes to china specifically, for rex tillerson saying they're going to take away access to the islands they build and donald trump saying they're not going to build anymore islands, china is getting a huge brush back pitch. sean spicer gave a 75-minute

press conference where he took questions from everybody in a different order than ever before, and i think one of the message was i'll take your questions, but i want fairness. do you think that he got message out? >> i think it was a terrific day for the administration. i think sean did a wonderful job. he spent a lot of time with the press. i thought they were cater it it was going on so long. who's passing out the hors d'oeuvres here? but nevertheless, he was substantive, he was to the point, he had a little humor at the beginning, which is always good. and i always tell people the more you smile, even through the difficult times, he has a great smile. and just have fun with this. i mean, it's going to be difficult. really hard job. these guys are working crazy hours but have fun with it. and the pres -- the press is, you know, going to be a check on the administration. sometimes they'll be unfair. i would -- it's like spitballs off a battleship. they're going forward, but i

would be forthright and get the point out. steve: well, in addition to being a good spokesperson, he was very coercive with the policy. >> knows it. steve: and he did get a question regarding his statement two days earlier where he gave some numbers, and he essentially said, look, we get the numbers from the inaugural committee, and they were wrong. the stuff about the mlk bust was just flat out wrong from time ago. kellyanne goes out the next day and says sean gave some alternative facts, meaning alternative sources of the information. she just explained that to us a little while ago. meanwhile there's a new york university professor says interviewers should stop interviewing kellyanne conway because she makes stuff up and a whole bunch of journalists are hopping on board. >> also an n yu professor is

the font of all what is true and why? that's hilarious. when is saturday night live going to make fun of academia? that's rich territory. again, they're now in full melt down mode on the left. they had a great march, a lot of people turned out, that's fine. good for them. but there are real things that are going to be accomplished for the american people. now, they can whine and moan about, you know, kellyanne. they can do that. they're going to do that. as long as trump stays focused, doesn't get sidetracked, this minutia that nobody cares about, he will make the lives of american people better day by day. and that's starting to happen. i mean, the news about kroger creating jobs. the news about carrier and all of these other companies, these are going to start having real-world affects on communities. the ripple affect around new business creation. that's going to be positive, it's just starting kicking

in. ainsley: you mentioned him getting sidetracked. did he get sidetracked of how many people are at the inauguration? >> i think so. i would have came out and said i think it's great we had such great numbers for the protests today, i could have done without the signs, but nevertheless we look forward for making the best for all americans. hindsight is 20/20. it's new in there. it's not corporate america. this is governance. it's different, and i think they're discovering that. i think it's going to -- i think we're going to have a lot of news coming up this week. brian: i want to see if donald trump is going to double down in the senate and tell him to start working weekends until these are passed. make them put in the extra hours. >> hey, we never work weekends; right? you guys i don't ever work weekends. you guys are always working over there at fox and friends. steve: never mind the fact that we were here for four hours on saturday morning. but we got paid extra.

just saying. >> oh, sure. you'll call bill if you're not. steve: laura, thank you very much. go run life debt and go be on the radio. >> take care. ainsley: shock and disbelief when the governor of minnesota collapses in the middle of a speech. we have an update of what happened coming up. steve: it was scary. and a husband needing an excuse to get away from his wife. he turned to crime. why? the crazy story out of kansas coming up. sharon: and what have you done to get away from your spouse? let us know. ♪ when it comes to heartburn... trust the brand doctors trust. nexium 24hr is the #1 choice of doctors and pharmacists for their own frequent heartburn. for all day and all night protection... banish the burn... with nexium 24hr.

various actions that could help union workers, for example. one helping airline pilots. that's something that may not have been on the radar. but yesterday you mentioned he had a flurry of executive actions making sure that the tpp pacific trade deal would be dead and buried. that was something that even labor unions came forward and said we love this idea. you had bernie sanders and others on the left getting behind donald trump on that. and remember, during the campaign he was mocked by the media when he kept saying he had more stamina, he was going to outwork hillary clinton. well, he did that before and yesterday there was a flurry of action that he said has one single focus. >> we're going to put a lot of people back to work. we're going to use common sense, and we're going to do it the way it's supposed to be done. we're going to. so the ridiculous trade deals that are taking everybody out of our country and taking companies out of our country. and it's going to be reverse starting today, which is my

first official day for signing major things. >> now, he may move forward on something else that union leaders will like as well. airline pilots from southwest and a couple of other airlines are upset about a last microphone minute executive action by president obama that helped norwegian air international opening the way for them to fly into the u.s. southwest and a couple of other airlines say this will result in a loss of american jobs for them. and, in fact, one of their leaders chip hancock, an official at the southwest airlines pilots association said quote even before president trump was in office, we supported his pro worker mantra. he's looking out for american workers and some of these pilots will be in washington today right near the white house holding a rally to try to get this on president trump's radar. it might be yet another move that will help american workers. something that labor unions have been getting behind the new president on, guys. steve: the pilot's trying to get something on the president's radar.

thank you very much. ainsley: coming up. is this the future of the democratic party? >> my job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, oh, no, i'm not prejudice. i'm a democrat. ainsley: wow would you believe that that woman wants to be the next chairman of the democratic national committee? brian: so what if democrats are dragging their feet? presenting the cabinet. democrats say they started it with president obama's picks. is that true? the historians are standing by to debunk or agree.

ainsley: some quick headlines for you. thousands of parents and students expected to rally today in choice of a school choice bill. include education savings accounts and debit cards that parents can use for private school tuition. governor said he would sign the bill if it reached his desk. and later we reported that could cut $10.5 billion over ten years. actually it's 10 trillion that they want to cut from the entire budget over the next years. the arts currently get $148 million from the federal government. brian. brian: all right. thanks, ainsley. the first official week in office. and president trump is getting some unprecedented push back. >> it's a cabinet unlike any other we've seen on two basis. we call it the swamp cabinet. billionaires and bankers. brian: here with a look at how the trump administration

appears to past white house's presidential historians. welcome to both of you. >> thank you. brian: i think we all agree there are has been tremendous push back. especially if you see how many lawmakers sat out is the exact inaugural address and the approval ratings. have you seen anything like this, allen? >> probably not. but this is not something that's come out of nowhere. hyper partnership has been the norm in washington for far too long. let's not forget that when barack obama came into office, what did mitch mcconnell, the leader of the senate say? we are going to oppose anything that has barack obama's name on it. how many republicans voted for the affordable care act in either house? zero. that was the first time in the history of the country you had major social legislation passed without any opposition support. brian: that's in the recent history. what about in past history if you look at -- being totally

candid about that one and said elections have consequences, and i won. that kind of set the table too. looking back, does this remind you of another administration where they started? >> it does. it reminds me of the reagan administration because, you know, now we know that o'neal, this democratic speaker of the house had a good relationship with reagan, but itly didn't really start that way. within days of the inauguration, reagan invited neil to the white house and said, look, you're in the big leagues now. and a little swamp comment from senator schumer. but it took a while to build that relationship with o'neal. and eventually reagan did. but politics really stopped at 6:00 p.m. years ago. and now with the 24/7 news cycle, it just continues. it never ends. and that's part of the reason why it's such a clash in the modern era. brian: so all three of us agree, the friction's there and has been there. so can you give us an example

in history, allen, where they saw something similar, and they've managed to get things done anyway? what's the template? >> the great template is always franklin roosevelt. roosevelt had some of the biggest opposition. they compared him to stalin. they compared him to hitler. and yet he was able to get through the most comprehensive agenda of domestic legislation in the history of the country that now has wide bipartisan support and led us through the bloodiest war except for the civil war in our history. brian: but we had a catastrophe then. we were in a economic collapse and a world war wound. >> sometimes it takes pain, doesn't it? brian: right. jane, would you go the fdr example? or another? >> well, i go back to reagan in that within six months, reagan was on the phone with democrats, he invited them to

the oval office, and he had 60 democrats support his federal spending cut bill and 40 democrats approve his tax reduction bill. his tax rate reduction. and that was just a lot of negotiation, a lot of give and take. so we're at the beginning where people are clashing, and it will have to see how the next six months unfolds to see what happens. brian: right and, allen, let's end with a little bit of hope. like it or not, tpp is gone. bernie sanders cheered. john mccain didn't. you have union workers typically vote democrat who are praising the republican president. does that give you some hope? >> look, it certainly does. look, even george w. bush after that incredibly contentious 2000 election actually brought onboard a number of democrats to support the first round of the tax cuts. brian: yep. >> to support no child left behind. and at least early on until the falling of the iraq war, he had tremendous bipartisan support for his campaign of terrorism and his move to

bring democracy around the world. brian: all right. jane and allen, thank you so much. we'll do this again. >> thank you. brian: looking back to get hope today. meanwhile shock and disbelief when the minnesota governor collapses in the middle after i major speech, what happened next? and was liberal billionaire george soros behind the women's march over the weekend? here with the connection she found next. introducing theraflu expressmax

ainsley: back with a fox news alert. you are looking live at los angeles. the oscar nominations are now underway. brian: the best actor nominees revealed just moments ago.

it's ryan gosling for la-la land, which just broke records for winning the most golden globes. he's going up against casey affleck, andrew garfield, and denzel washington. we'll bring you the rest of the nominees as they get announced. steve: that's right. they're doing something different this time. usually, you know, this time of the day on oscar nomination day, we throw out to samuel goldwyn theater in los angeles. what they're doing instead is doing an online presentation. the really good stuff is coming up in about five minutes, and we're going to be joining them live. we've got a whole host of hosts, including what we saw a moment ago jennifer hudson. she'll be with us. brian: it sounds like siri doing the announcing. >> my phone rang. it was my father. steve: okay. here's somebody telling a story. >> it was one of the greatest moments of my life.

ainsley: we'll give you as we learn more information. and now head over to heather. >> the lady that you just referred to sounds a lot like janice dean. i asked her and she said no. good morning i will take it from here. i've got a couple of headlines right now. a scary moment on the house floor in minnesota. the governor as you can see right there stumbles to the podium and then starts slurring his words before he faints. boy, that's the governor there. his aids rushed to his side to catch him as he hit his head on the podium. it's not clear why he fainted, but he did walk out of the building himself and just hours after the terrifying ordeal, the governor says he plans to return to work this morning. we'll keep you posted on any updates. hope he's recovering well. well, former president obama

uses final hours in office to send hundreds of millions of your tax dollars overseas. now, this includes $221 million to the palestinian authority. money republican lawmakers had been blocking, they didn't want to aid the palestinians as they fought membership in national organization. well, another hit against israel. the obama administration also released $4 million for climate change programs and another million for organization. all of the candidates for dnc chair want to do more to help minorities get the party back on track. but one of them sally brown, a white woman has a pretty innocent strategy of how to do it. listen to this. >> my job is to listen and be a voice. and my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt. my job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, oh, no, i'm not prejudice. i'm a democrat. >> shut white people down. pandering much?

well, four of the six candidates against brown are minorities. prison shackles better than the ball and chain? this guy robbing a bank to escape his wife. he he gave the bank material a note to give him cash and waited until police arrived. he said he would rather be locked up than go home to his wife. he now faces 20 years in prison. steve: she must be something. brian: those are some tough times there. brian: what about counseling? doesn't insurance pick that up? marriage counseling. steve: if he has that kind of coverage. well, they're continuing to announce some of the potential oscar winners live from oscar.com. ladies and gentlemen, now the nominees for best actress are. ainsley: isabel hooper, natalie portman, emma stone, and meryl streep. steve: did you say meryl streep?

ainsley: she is one of them. steve: i wonder if she's going to have another speech for donald trump. meanwhile, also best supporting actress, you've got nicole kidman, nigh ohmy harris, octavia spencer. meanwhile best supporting weathercaster of course would be janice dean. ainsley: have you seen any of these movies? >> i've never seen any of these movies. i would love to. and i would like to thank my family and my mom for nominating me today. brian: and, by the way, two hours ago we wished your son a happy birthday, and i said that he wants cash. was i right? >> absolutely. so i said happy 8th birthday to matthew, my oldest son and brian said if you're coming to the birthday on friday, please bring cash and then asked him if he would like cash at his birthday party and he was liked it of course i would. brian: i know kids. >> oh, my god so if parents

are listening, cash donations are accepted. let's take a look at the maps because you know what? we have a northeasterner that is coming across. we have a lot of rain and snow and sleet. the good news is if we were talking about below freezing temperatures, this would be a blizzard. we would be dealing with a foot of snow across new york city. but we are dealing with the potential of icing over new england where we could get an inch to a half of inch of ice over the roads. still dealing with gusty winds along the coast. 20, 30, 40 miles per hour boston. again, that's going to cause big problems in the air. once you have problems at the northeast airports, you're going to have problems across the country because that causes a ripple effect. over the west, we've been watching the west very carefully because we've had storm after storm after storm. the good news is things will calm down across the west, but we do have our next weather system that is moving across the plains.

happy 8th birthday, matthew. ainsley: i'm glad you were born, matthew. steve: you still have to buy him something. >> i do. i will. steve: all right. thank you very much. meanwhile live from hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, the nominees for best picture are. ainsley: brian. brian: fences and hacksaw ridge. steve: rival. brian: oh, rival. fences, hacksaw ridge. steve: we spelled it wrong. sorry. brian: hell or high water as well as la-la land, manchester by the sea, moonlight. wasn't that already on? moonlight with cher? steve: that was moon struck. ainsley: it was -- i can picture them. brian: only paper moon. steve: paper moon. o'neal won filmed in kansas. ainsley: shepherd and bruce

wilson. >> that was moonlighting. right. not nominated. steve: i think it is official. i have not seen a single one of these good movies. it's just easier for us until they come out on pay per view and watch it on our tv. ainsley: how does he presumption opronounce la-la land? brian: la la-la land. it's like a half musical half talk; right? either sing the whole time or talk the whole time. don't mix. steve: sounds fantastic. brian: and i would like to see this hacksaw ridge simple unbelievable. mel gibson comes back on the screen. ainsley: hemorrhage his seventh child i heard. was it ninth? brian: must have mixed in some twins. ainsley: after six kids i don't know seventh kid, ninth kid. brian: full of matags. steve: anyway we've given you

an update on the nominees of the oscars that people no longer watch. brian: tell us the movie that you saw that might ruin your day if nominated. steve: people are so steam at hollywood right now because they've taken such a political stance. it's, like, why go to that person's movie and support them when i could just be at home watching, you know, people on the street i am not, yeah, or a documentary. ainsley: or duck dynasty. steve: or fox news. straight ahead to fox and friends, the senator repealing and replacing obamacare, and they did it with state's rights in mind. they join ainsley straight ahead.

brian: quick headlines now. a deadly small airplane crash in seuss tucson airport. no word yet on what went wrong. and 8,000 gallons of fuel exploding into a towering fireball after tanker crashes. the heart-stopping moments of folding along a highway in columbus, ohio. the fire engulfing the tractor-trailer killing the driver inside. police still investigating what caused the crash. that also destroyed part of the highway. meanwhile, yesterday i couldn't miss the 75-minute show. sean spicer's debut press secretary. steve: and they did something that they usually don't do. usually they call in the front row and then the row behind. instead they started way in the back with the new york post guy and then cbn and then the third question went to fox business. and then of course the legacy media people didn't like that. they also complained about the length of it. but sean spicer made it very clear to all those people in

that room yesterday, look, i will tell the truth, but it goes two ways because if you make a mistake like you did with the martin luther king bust, we're going to call you out on it. ainsley: right. listen to what he said to these reporters. >> constant theme. it's about sitting here every time and being told "no, well, we don't think he can do that. he can't accomplish that. it's not going to be the biggest. it's not going to be that good. the crowds aren't that big. he's not going to be successful. the default narrative is always negative. and it's demoralizing. sometimes it's not. sometimes we'll make mistakes. i promise you that. but it doesn't have to always be negative, jim. when we're right, say we're right. when we're wrong i don't think, say we're wrong. steve: all he's asking for is give this administration the same fairness. ainsley: and give him a chance. can't we come together as a country? the election is over. let's move on. let's come together as a

country. the thing is as parents we teach our kids to be positive. find the silver lining. brian: but they did make it easy for themselves to complain about the crowd size. made it a story that he was -- that donald trump was saying 3 million illegals voted. it allows the press to go here instead of on the major story. ainsley: focusing on the issues. brian: i think it helps because the issues are on their side. newt gingrich weighed in. >> you the small group of people who are very, very important who talk to each other, nobody else, and they come up and decide, oh, this is a really big issue. i mean, deciding to pull out of tpp was a really big issue. deciding to reinstate an even more aggressive mexico city policy on right to life and stopping abortion. it's a really big issue. having a hiring freeze is a really big issue. but the press core is so focused on their own bellybuttons that it's very hard for them to deal with what the country cares about and to get to the big issues.

steve: that is such a good point. the big question is after mr. spicer who got great reviews from both sides, will the press there at the white house give them the fairness? or will they just continue to have the feeding frenzy? steve: you'll see it here on fox. meanwhile exactly 12 minutes before the top of the hour on this tuesday, it's the first step to repeal and replace so that we can be the two republicans behind the plan senator susan collins and senator cassidy are to talk about it. steve: but first the top of the hour in american newsroom. >> good morning, guys. you know it's back to business again in the white house today. president trump sitting down with another group of business leaders to talk about revving up the economy. we'll bring you live coverage. and another round of cabinet picks when mr. trump to lead hhs. congressman price back in the hot seat.

brian: obamacare is imploding. but if your home state likes that plan, it can keep that plan. ainsley: it's part of the obamacare replacement by senator bill cassidy from louisiana and senator susan collins. and they join us now. good morning to both of you to tell us more about this plan. the two of you work together to come up with this plan; is that right? and what is in the plan?

>> what we would do is this year we would attack enabling legislation, next year allowing states to choose between three options. so what we think most to choose would be what we call the better choice. but as you mentioned, if they wish they can stay on obamacare. when republicans say you can keep your insurance, we mean it. and under the better choice be we would give folks a tax credit, which would be only used for health insurance and health care. if there would be nothing it would be a standard policy. but if they wish they could kind of work with their credit to buy up into their employer's insurance or family policy, it gives the power to the patient, the power to the state. >> our goal is actually to extend the number of people who are insured in this country. after all, under obamacare, we still have nearly 30 million americans without health insurance. i think that fact has been lost in this debate. steve: sure.

senator cassidy, there are certain components of the current obamacare that a lot of people liked. the whole preexisting condition thing, keeping your kid on up to 26. will those be options where people can still keep that? because people like that. >> yeah, we've reversed that. but then we go beyond. so when someone gets a bronze-level plan on obamacare exchanges, they have a 6,000 dollars deductible. under our plan, we get first coverage. so if you need to to the care center, you actually have the ability to pay the bill as opposed to having to work through $6,000 deductible. so we do that. but at the same time, reserve those things you just listed. brian: so senator schumer wants to rain on your parade. he likes you and understand their proposal that the republican replacement plan is a far cry from the full replacement plan they have promised for years. many americans will be kicked off their plans ou out-of-pocket expenses and deductibles for consumers will

skyrocket. your answer? >> well, senator schumer is completely wrong about what our bill would do. and really, his comments summarized what's wrong with washington right now. he went to the floor, went to the press before our bill had even had the ink dry on it. he didn't know what was in it. he misstated the provision protecting people with preexisting conditions, for example. and if new york is happy with a 16.6% increase on average and obamacare, they can choose to keep that. but many states are going to think there is a better approach. and that is our goal. to let states tailor the approach to get the result that is best for their citizens. steve: senator cassidy, have you talked to the administration? do they like your plan?

>> we have not talked to the administration directly. tom price and i had breakfast together weekly for a few years when i was in the house. and if you look at his plan, he also uses those advancable refundable tax credits, which can only be used for health insurance or health care. but we add to it are features like price transparency so that you know how much it cost before you get the test as opposed to finding out six months later. we think the administration will like that. brian: here comes the replace. it's going to be up to the president to referee this. senators, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. ainsley: we have more fox and friends just moments away. brian: i believe her. echnology, so they can detect and repair corrosion before it ever becomes a problem. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better.

th...oh, baked-on alfredo?e. because safety is never being satisfied. ...gotta rinse that. nope. no way. nada. really? dish issues? throw it all in. cascade platinum powers through... your toughest stuck-on food. nice. cascade. with not food, become food? thankfully at panera, 100% of our food is 100% clean. no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors. panera. food as it should be. >> the oscar nominations have been announced and la la land leads the field. i think everybody has to go see it. >> the best, the best the best. the others are rival.

fences, hacksaw ridge, hell or high water, hidden figures, manchester by the sea and -- >> bill: good morning, 9:00 here in new york city. president trump hitting the gas for day two of his first full day in office. this morning his attention is again on jobs and sitting down with leaders from the auto industry. meeting number one as we say good morning. welcome to "america's newsroom." shannon, nice to see you. >> shannon: i'm shannon bream in for martha maccallum. that meeting with top auto executives is getting underway now. later today he will meet with his new c.i.a. director. >> do solemnly swear that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states. against all enemies foreign and domestic.
