steve: those are cathy doocy's right there. ainsley: oh, no, have you to call or go on their website and order him some. brian: urban stems which means they were grown in the city? ainsley: exactly. have you all done your shopping for me? i am your tv wife. brian: every year want cash. 20 bucks valentine's day day. ainsley: pays the bills. steve: thank you very much on this valentine's day we start with a fox news alert. michael flynn, the national security counselor to the president of the united states becomes essentially one the shortest serving senior presidential advisors in recent history. he steps aside because he told a lie to the vice president. brian: perhaps. 24 days in. he is now stepping out. we do have reports that he did have an opportunity to stay. donald trump didn't tell him to resign. he resigned on his own. christian fisher has the story and can update us. >> good morning. i was just going to say let's

be very clear here. president trump did not fire michael flynn. he resigned. not a totally surprising development but still a stunning one. just 25 days in to this administration, this is the shortest tenure of any national security advisor ever. in his resignation letter, he wrote that, quote: unfortunately because of the fast pace of events, i inadvertently briefed the vice president elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the russian ambassador. i sincerely apologize to the president and vice president. and they have accepted my apology. well, complicating matters even more for the white house, is a report in the "the washington post" that the justice department specifically, the acting attorney general at the time sally yates had warned the white house that flynn was possibly vulnerable to russian blackmail attempts. yet, they did nothing about it until now. so, what next? well, lieutenant general keith kellogg has already been named acting national security advisor. he had been serving as chief

of staff for the national security council. answered is also in the running to fill the position full time. other names in the mix vice admiral michael harwood. director of centcom. under defense secretary james mattis and then there is general david petraeus. the president is has been a fan for some time. vice president and secretary of state. but he, of course, comes with very heavy baggage if tapped to be national security advisor he would still be under prongs until april. this is the first major shakeup of the trump administration and also one of the first major tests as well. ainsley: thank you kristin. brian: i know the president and general flynn have been inseparable. by his side since day one. speak candidly to the president of the united states when he was can cat and president-elect. i think it's a big loss.

over the weekend they were shoulder to shoulder through this controversy. lay of the in the morning i don't think there was any plan for him to step aside. ainsley: you can't lie to the vice president. the vice president went out and defended him and said did he not talk to the russian ambassador to the you u.s. about sanctions. and it turns out that he did. steve: and apparently according to the "new york times," pence was angry that he lied to him and angry that he didn't fully apologize. and steve bannon who also was down in mar-a-lago with mr. flynn and mr. trump over the weekend. steve bannon has been pushing for the resignation since friday. so, mike flinel is out. the big question is whether it be david petraeus, perhaps? but then if you have david petraeus, when donald trump out on the campaign trail makes an issue of hillary clinton's illegal email server e there is a problem with petraeus. ainsley: they were worried that russia could use it to blackmail the united states. if he had told the truth in

the beginning, would the trump administration looked past that or something that russian -- brian: from what we know now charles krauthammer said the same thing this is a coverup without a crime. if he came out and said it's okay to talk to him but came out and said what you said. brought up the sanctions would be looked at there, probably wouldn't have been an issue. but, however, a couple of things, number one on petraeus, keep in mind, donald trump kept saying look at what david petraeus did nothing compared to what hillary clinton did. number two, there is no doubt about it david petraeus would have been a leading contender for hillary clinton's secretary of state. they were also extremely tight and extremely kind things about hillary clinton. so if he goes up and they decide to -- if he is a choice of president trump, i do think there would be a little bit of turbulence for someone to attack donald trump anyway. ainsley: find someone to replace him who will be the perfect candidate. so many men and women in this country who have served our country. i have full confidence they will find someone who is amazing.

steve: meanwhile, it looks like ice, the immigration and customs enforcement agency of the united states of america is looking for some people. people with criminal records. violent criminals. but if you listen to the mainstream media, they are in hysterics about these what have been routine raids during the obama administration. nonetheless, listen to how they reported what's going on last night. >> what took place yesterday with raids in personal homes is part of the cog of the trump deportation machine. >> how inhumane this is to be breaking down people's doors and separating parents from the children. >> this is donald trump really executing his campaign plan. is he trying to be a tough guy. is he going to go after the madz, the moms, the people that are working in the shops instead of going after the hard core criminals. >> the vast majority of immigrants in this country are not criminals are oterrorists or gunn gang members.

>> now is my turn. >> garcia has been in country for 20 years. this is what trump did. steve: you heard two sound bites ago the maids and moms. 75% of them have been convicted of things like this. ainsley: look at the list guys. homicide, aggravated sexual assault. sexual assault of a minor. lewd and lascivious acts with a child. indecent blishts a minor. drug trafficking, assault and battery. driving under the influence and weapons charges. as a mother there are three or four things on this that concern me the most. obviously they are all really bad. but lewd and lascivious acts of a child. sexual assault with a minor. indecent liberties with a minor. get them out of the country. i'm fine with it. who is not? brian: other thing is i would love to see how many profiles were done on the people that the obama administration tossed out 2 million. 2 million people. how many news breaks there

were profiling what was going on there and how many people on univision, anchors able to come up there and tear pictures in half on cnn, on msnbc? that were, as you saw that anchor from univision do last night. steve: sure. it's unclear if the raids are change in policy or a continuation because during the obama administration they deported a lot. nonetheless, the people of the united states kind of like what they have seen so far with donald trump. according to brand new gallup poll 62% say he keeps his promises and about 60% say he is a strong and decisive leader. as well. brian: the negative things that he has that came out on trustworthiness is he under water. he has he got to work on that. as soon as the communications set out of the white house, get a communications planner as well as a press secretary and get everybody else in place. ainsley: these people came from 11 different states. not just border states that

need to worry about this. l.a., chicago, san antonio, texas. new york city, southern california. new york. and there are 11 different states where these illegal criminals were found. steve: right, exactly. while the ice raids 680 arrests in the past week. keep in mind there was one week last year during the obama administration where they swept 2,000 people up. so, you know, nonetheless, you will see this drum beat on the other channels where it's kind of like they are going door to door and finding out who is in whose house. ainsley: some americans are so glad this is what he ran on. steve: this is what he promised. brian: law abiding families. some might be caught up in the net. focus is on the criminals. next thing you know he will leave the dreamers, secure the border. comprehensive immigration, donald trump by president is doing little by little doing what the last three presidents weren't able to do.

oh, our opponent is offensive, when you are worrying about your damn paycheck. you're worrying about your job. you're worrying about where you are going to live, if your kids are ever going to go to school. they don't really give a crap about if the president is an insult dog. we did not offer a message to the people in indiana or ohio or pennsylvania or kentucky. what we did is we said how offensive. grow up. brian: i started early. that was dnc chair candidate ray buckley telling people to grow up. jehmu greene is also running for dnc chair. what does she think of ray buckley's remarks? >> good morning. happy valentine's day. you dressed apropghtly. how does ray buckley's remarks differ and like yours. >> i think ray buckley's passion is representative of everyone on that stage.

the energy in the dnc elections shows how engaged not just the democratic party infrastructure is and all of that energy and passion we are seeing in the streets three weekends in a row. massive protests against the administration, that's what needs to be funneled in to the party. we need to create a welcoming home for the resistance. brian: you think the resistance is an answer or autopsy like the republicans did is the answer? >> look, we have work to do. and anyone who thinks that 2016 lends of what happened in this race and how the democratic party needs to rebuild, that it's only through a 2016 lens, they are sorely mistaken. there is work that has been building up to make sure that we actually have a strong infrastructure in the states. for 8 years we lost over 1,000 seats around the country. this s ngt just about what happened in 2016. this isn't just about what happened with trump. given the fact that look at

what is happening now with the administration. we don't have the luxury to not be the strongest party of resistance against this administration. brian: what is your positive message? can you resist what's there. so what is your vision? >> well, we certainly have to tell our story better. and with all due respect, brian, i think democrats for too long have thought that the media was our friend. they are not. in 2016, we thought that we had a good relationship in which to share the economic policies and vision that hillary clinton was putting forward, to share her vision on comprehensive immigration reform, on her mental health policy, guess what, the media said we are not going to give you any air time, any opportunity to talk about this. we're going to focus 100 percent on him or 100 percent on a scandal. brian: have you a vision, determination, and a ton of energy the democrats would be wise to pick you. i hope it works out for you jehmu greene. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me.

out if you and your family members have problems. here to tell us more about it is dr. human, mela med. is he a spinal surgeon in california. thank you so much for, with us. >> sure. absolutely. ainsley: tell us about this d.n.a. test. >> d.n.a. test approved opioid test assesses a patient's risk of developing addiction, abuse to narcotic medication he is. and there is activity with psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and test genetic area of the brain the brain reward cascade system which helps to show if the patient can become addicted or have substance abuse issues. ainsley: how do you admin the test? >> very easy a swab in your mouth. a little swab in your mouth. off it goes and two or three weeks later you get the results back. ainsley: you can tell based on the results whether or not someone is going to be prone to an addiction and you test

your patients for narcotics? >> absolutely. the proof opioid test shows basically that what medication works for them. wouldn't you want to know if you have like surgery or pain, like rather than trying different medications this works. this doesn't. you directly go the to medication that works for you. and the optimum dose and minimizing side effects. ainsley: let's say you have a patient and you do the swab and you determine they are predisposed to addiction problems. do you give them medications because if they are prone to addiction, wouldn't they have a higher chance of being addicted? >> absolutely. exactly what you just talked about in the beginning. like this is epidemic problem. we spend hundreds of millions of dollars and the number one culprit for giving out the open yats is the doctors. knowing that knowledge that i have i'm very careful how much i give narcotics. this is just for very, very short-term. i don't try to give it more than that knowing the results i am very careful become very

frugal in terms of how much i prescribe medication. ainsley: you operate on people's backs. you are a spine doctor. >> absolutely. ainsley: before you administer surgery you are going to do that swab to determine whether or not your patients are going to be addicted to their pain medicines, right? >> absolutely. and to see what the side effects are as far as what the optimum dosing is. it is amazing. some of the patients when you give them oh my god now i knew why this didn't work. i always knew why this medication don't work on me. ainsley: why don't all doctors use it? it seems simple. >> all kinds of reasons. i never learned about it in medical school or residency. we just learned protocol to do. you are not educated on that. so somehow i always like to think outside out box. and somehow i came across the proof genetic test and other problem i hate to say this but doctors sometimes want a patient to get addicted because the patient keeps coming back so they can keep writing the medication. that's another huge problem

that hasn't been looked into. ainsley: thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. ainsley: former president obama said this is the reason he refuses to call radical islamic terror what it is. >> think that and claim that they are speaking for islam but i don't want to validate what they do. ainsley: but this morning the real reason he refused to say radical islam. that's next. and on this valentine's day, we have the secrets to improving your relationship like scrapping date night. or scrapbooking as brian likes to do. first we want to wish a happy birthday to rob thomas lead singer of matchbox 20. he is 45 years old today. ainsley: he is only 45 ♪ you don't shut your mouth ♪ she'll freak out ♪ my hygienist told me to try... ...a mouthwash. so i tried crest.

ever. just 24 days. but the problems aren't over yet for flynn or for this the house intelligence committee is still investigating flynn's communications with the russian ambassador to the united states and the top democrat on that committee, congressman adam schiff he released a statement saying that, quote, the trump administration is yet to be forthcoming who was aware of flynn's conversations with the ambassador and whether he was acting on the instructions of the president or any other officials or with their knowledge. complicating matters even more for the white house this morning is a report that the justice department, specifically the acting attorney general at the time. you remember her, sally yates. she had warned the white house that flynn was possibly vulnerable to russian blackmail attempts. yet, they did nothing about it what next? lieutenant ray kellogg has been acting security advisor that happened last night before he had been serving as chief of staff for the national security council. he is also in the running to fill the position full time. other names in the mix?

vice admiral robert harr ward, a former navy seal and commanders of centcom and then, of course, david petraeus. how did this all shake out? a senior administration source says that president trump was willing to hang in there with flynn but that flynn quote, unquote, cratered and took himself out. he resigned. he was not fired. he told our james rosen last night that, quote, i have nothing to be ashamed for and everything to be proud of. brian, ainsley, and steve? steve: all right, kristin, thank you very much. "new york times" got some details. they said that what really caused some problems inside the administration was the fact that he, flynn, had lied to the vice president. the vice president was unhappy with that. and that he did not fully apologize and just the fact that keep in mind she just pointed out that sally yates the now fired then acting head of the department of justice, she had warned the white house.

and, in fact, it was clapper and brennan from the cia and the director of national intelligence at the end of the obama administration who saw the information. they got a readout of what was said on the phone. and they said, hey, you have got to tell them. so they told them she did sale yates in the early days of the administration and they didn't act on it. ainsley: my question is, that was a few weeks ago. if they knew that information why did he wait until now to resign? brian: number one, playing a vital role with donald trump. and the president did not want him to lee sign. they said despite with his public persona on the apprentice of firing people he does not like firing people. steve: he likes loyal people. brian: he likes the way flynn talked to him. what general flynn says i briefed the v.p. with the vice president-elect for incomplete information. for that he apologized. and according to politico the vice president didn't demand that he resign. the vice president says it's up to you, mr. president.

by 11:00 last night mike flynn as john roberts relayed to us our chief white house correspondent said he cratered. i means a way of giving in. steve: causing political problems for the administration. barely a month in. so he took himself out. ainsley: he was national security advisor. society let's talk about national security. homeland security they are listing crimes. of all the illegals that they have rounded up since donald trump has been the president. if you watch, you know, 75% of those that have been rounded up, at least in the last week, they have all been convicted criminals. steve: we have got a list of the things they have been convicted of. they are bad things. ainsley: here is the list. they have been convicted of homicide. aggravated sexual assault. sexual assault of a minor. lewd and lascivious acts with a minor. drug trafficking, assault and battery. driving under the influence and weapons charges. brian: this is exactly what donald trump said he wanted to do. and he tweeted out. this is what i said i was going to do.

others have said listen, this is routine. this is what the obama administration has done for eight years and sound bites as late as 2014 of president obama saying we need to find out who is here and if you are not here and committed a crime you are going to get out of here. there is really no difference. two sides to this. number one say it's business as usual or number two say it's donald trump fulfilling his campaign promise. and i think either way the trump administration is fine because he is helping the people that put him in office and, number two, is he looking back and saying i'm not doing anything that unusual. the problem is for critics is it's not going to stop. and i actually don't think that donald trump will be upset by this negative -- people are negative about this because he feels as though the bulk of the country is behind him. ainsley: i think the problem is messaging. watch mainstream media pulling moms away from their kids. look at that list. 75% of the people captured are major criminals. i mean, do you want these --

do you want individuals. steve: killers. ainsley: killers can have sexual acts with minors in this country? no. brian: here is how it has been played out on other channels. >> what took place yesterday with raids in personal homes is part of the cog of the trump deportation machine. >> how inhumane this is to be breaking down people's doors and separating parents from their children. >> this is donald trump executing his campaign plan. is he trying to be a tough guy. is he going to go after the maids, the moms, the people working in the shops. instead of going after the hard core criminals. >> the vast majority of immigrants in this country are not criminals, are not terrorists not gang members. now it's my term. garcia has been in this country for 25 years. this is what donald trump did. steve: so you know is he playing to the emotions of, listen to her story. look, he has been very clear.

he would have the ice agents enforce the law of the land. president obama did the same stuff for many, many years. in fact, if you roll -- if we hop in the way back machine here is president obama talking about this very subject and he sure sounds a lot like president trump. here is mr. obama in 2015. >> what we should be doing is setting up a smart legal immigration system that doesn't separate families but does focus on making sure that people who are dangerous, you know, people who are you know gang bangers or criminals that we're deporting them as quickly as possible. brian: so much outrage after those comments. wait a second. there wasn't any. can you see a more blatant example of a double standard? >> here's the difference between president obama and president trump, according to an agent with ice who is now

retired. >> i think there is one very small difference. the executive order that president trump issued on immigration has returned to the line level officers and agents the discretion to make arrests for people who are in the country in violation of immigration law. regardless of their criminal history. so in doing these targeted operations, which clearly were targeting felons, dangerous criminals, if they encounter someone who is in the country in violation of law, instead of looking like the other way as they were required to under the policies of the obama administration, they have the discretion to arrest someone. steve: so it is unclear at this point whether the targeted raids are a change in policy or if this is, in fact, part of the president's executive order that he signed a while back. brian: although the president did tweet out something i told you i was going to do this and i'm doing it right now. also he told the dreamers.

people young age gone through our entire system worried if they are going to be deported. he said you don't have to worry about that right now. steve: stay tuned. ainsley: 75% convicted criminals. 25% that you don't want the separation of families but according to that ice agent it's up to the ice agents at this point if they find people here illegally committed a crime. steve: there are many, many stories. you know a thousand people for the most part have been arrested in the last 10 or so days. let's see how it shakes out going forward. brian: let's see if heather nauert has any stories. heather: i do. a major one out of california. there is a storm on its way. we begin with a fox news alert regarding that a potential life or death emergency in oroville where the dam in california and storms moving in threatening the repairs taking place to the crumbling mainly spillway. forecasters now predicting it could be an entire week of rain. crews racing against the clock to try to fix the massive holes after hundreds of

thousands of gallons of water from lake oroville chewed through the concrete. nearly 200,000 people had to leave everything mind hearing that the spillway could fail at any moment. imagine that. janice dean covering the latest on those storms. rahm emanuel back at his old stomping ground the white house. president obama's former chief of staff meeting with new attorney general jeff sessions to talk about how to put an end to the ongoing gun violence in the windy city. president trump vowing to send in the feds if colleague doesn't bring down murder rate. at least 400 people have been shot in chicago since the start of 2017 alone. and president trump says the nation's financial system is in great hands thanks to his pick for treasury secretary. >> i share your economic vision and goals and committed to work weatherbug to enact policies, to grow the economy, and make better economic opportunities for all americans.

steve: fox news alert. the search is now on for new national security advisor after a white house shakeup yesterday. general michael flynn has resigned over calls he made to the ambassador to russia. here with reaction is republican illinois congressman adam kinzinger. he joins us from the d.c. bureau. how are you? >> good. ohio how are you. steve: good. it sounds like michael flynn stepped down after the firestorm because he did before president trump took office. he made some phone calls to the russian ambassador, talked about sanctions and then asked about it later. sounds like flynn said i don't remember talking about that. and the vice president, he gave him a story that was not truthful and that's pretty much why he said you know what? i better get out of here

because this is a distraction. >> look. in this case the coverup was worse than the crime. it's arguably or questionable a crime. probably not because, look, jesse jackson, carter during other administrations left to go negotiate with other governments against the government so that was a logan acviolation. it was a bad decision to call russia and talk about this in the middle of, you know, the past administration determining what sanctions are going to look like. but what happened in the big problem was when he lied to the vice president and he became a distraction to president trump. i think, you know, as an honorable military man which general flynn is, he called the president and said look, i'm a distraction to you. there is nothing more important than you being successful in your administration and did the honorable thing. steve: you got to figure because donald trump wanted to get things going from the get-go. he probably said okay, mike, before we starter, why don't you call these guys you are going to be dealing with and see what you can get out of them and one thing led to another and, boom. >> yeah. it's possible. and, again, it wouldn't be completely out of the ordinary

for an incoming administration to have these discussions. again, the problem is if general flynn had just come out and said yeah, look, the ambassador brought it up to me or i brought it up in terms of what our issues we are going to deal with in the future when we talk about syria, ukraine, crimea, things like that, i don't think we would be talking about it today it's when you lie to the vice president or say it didn't happen, put him on national tv you will find yourself being a major distraction. steve: you mentioned being a distraction from syria. since the president's immigration was put on hold 75% are from those seven countries that president trump wanted the extreme vetting for. it sounds like if you are from syria and some of these other countries you were trying to get to the united states as quick as you can before, you know, either it is settled in court or before another executive order comes down. >> yeah. i think that's accurate. i think they probably see a window here. they probably think and know that the president is going to come out with an executive order that actually would fit in whatever the ninth

circuit's decision is. so that's an important thing to remember. look, these are very war torn areas. it's natural they are going to try to come lehr. the president has a right as any administration does to determine whether we're vetting correctly and whether we are keeping the country safe in the ninth circuit basically said we know more about national defense thanyou . we're going to make a decision and that's where we sit today. steve: let's see what happens. adam kinzinger joins us from washington, d.c. thank you very much. >> thank you. take care. steve: if you don't pay your taxes you could get in big trouble unless you work for the irs. we've got insane story coming up. and she took over grammy headlines with her make america great again dress. this morning singer joy villa and the man who designed that dress join ainsley live ♪ you got the look ♪ she's got the look ♪ ♪(music plays)

like meryl streep and madonna are so brave. what we are hearing in this studio and our viewers is you are the one who is brave to wear something like that in hollywood on the red carpet. why did you do it? >> you know, there was a lot of controversy around the president and a lot of hate, honestly. and i wanted to change the narrative. i wanted in some small way to just show support and unity. and it's not about who you voted for or what you believe, it's more about love and unifying. you know, as the united states of america for the world, they look at us. and if we are divided, it doesn't paint a good picture. so i wanted this dress to be a beacon of hope for love, for support, and for making a decision to go against the grain and to show support for something that is not talked about in the media, unfortunately. so it was a statement of love above all. that's why i wanted to do it. andre, he and i both decided we're going to do love.

>> yes. ainsley: andre, how did this come to be? how did it happen? >> just like after the controversy and the woman's march, someone said that they're going to bomb the white house. and i was like oh my god, joy, i called immediate joy, joy oh my god our country is divided. we have to move this country forward and as far as your static album we're going to make a static and promote love. joy always highly believe every time we collaborate it's all about love. from the previous dresses up to today. this is like the time that we should move this country forward and promote love. that's why she was wearing the message so glamorously angelic with white cape. ainsley: any backlash? >> of course there was backlash and i knew going in that there would be. i'm telling you there has been so much support.

i'm overwhelmed by support and love people are telling me, you know, thank you for making the choice to make a stand for what you believe in. i look up to you. i couldn't have said my views before. now i feel like i'm able to speak my mind. and that's the whole point. we want a dialogue. now, democracy is about, you know, different viewpoints and that's totally okay. but when it starts to become a bullying platform that i'm not going to be your friend or you can't be a good person because of who you voted for. it's wrong. that i do not believe in. so we said let's change the narrative. >> i approve that message. ainsley: i want to play a message from a latino supporter thank you you from the audience. let's watch this. >> we really did need this as americans. you know, when we have people getting beat unconscious in the street because of who they voted for, doesn't feel like america anymore. you made it seem like america

again. ainsley: wow, what's your reaction to that, joy? >> i'm touched. i am absolutely touched. she sent that to me on twitter a mere hours after i was on the red carpet. the response from people like her make me feel like, wow, i really did do something to unify us. and that was the whole thing. andre and i both said in some small way if we can just change the tide of hate to love and open a conversation that says it doesn't matter what you believe or how voted for, i'm still going to love you, and then we can have a conversation of respect respect and mutual respect. that's all i thought we were going to do. her response showed me it actually was very much needed in this country. it's about healing. ainsley: andre, you are from the philippines and it looked like you are getting emocial when you watch that video. what's your reaction? >> well, it's really like -- i

mean, out of support for love. i want to say to everybody, happy valentine's day. we always promoting love. this is like the day to promote love and support our president, please, everyone. it's all about love, right, joy? ainsley: real quickly, how has your life changed in the last 24 hours? >> wow. >> oh my goodness. >> my album is number one on itunes. >> congratulations. >> huge support from fans. number one on amazon. number one. and that's because of fans and supporters. ainsley: that's great. andre. >> true love is real. >> are you going to dress the first lady now? >> i want to thank everybody for ought will outpour of love. from the personal messages. you guys are so great. all the graciousness and gratefulness. everyone -- we're really truly

and that's why we called you in. why exactly did he decide to quit? was it that he may have been in violation of the logan act in talking to the russian ambassador or was it that he misrepresented or lied to the vice president about what he remembered? why is he gone? >> steve, i would refer to you general flynn's resignation letter where he addresses that very issue. it seems to be the latter. which is he was having any number of calls and that in the end he felt he had mislead or misrepresented all the facts to the president and to the vice president. for that ewas enor pursily and deeply sorry. that really was the linchpin here is that he either forgot. couldn't fully recall, or really mislead the president and others when he was characterizing a conversation he had with the russian ambassador. i think that the situation became increasingly unsustainable and he decided to resign. brian: what changed though from when he said he had the president's full confidence. what changed in terms of the

facts that made him resign at 11:00 whereas three hours earlier you said he had the president's full confidence it? >> wasn't three hours earlier. it was many hours earlier. the fact is the president is a very loyal person. he has a seem here that serves him very admirablably. in this case information had been forthcoming for a while. but the situation had gotten to fevered pitch yesterday. later in the day such that it became unsustainable. yesterday the national security advisor was part of the visit by the bilateral visit by the canadian prime minister justin trudeau. he was in the presidential daily briefing. he had been part of leader calls with presidents from around the globe. in the end it really was the misleading or the forgetfulness about characterizing that conversation that i think was the linchpin here. i just want to say to everyone that general flynn has a three decade plus record of service

as an intelligence officer, as a military official. that should not be overlooked. in this particular case, there was an incident or so that just became unsustainable for him to carry on in that role. and that was a decision he made and the president accepted his resignation and is moving on with an acting national security advisor keith kellogg who worked with the team very well and for a very long time and then he will also be entertaining perhaps former navy seal and vice admiral mr. harward and general petraeus who is known to everyone. ainsley: did the president try to talk him out of the resignation. >> i won't characterize private conversations. i know these things are never easy and can all tell that donald trump is known for loyalty and people are known for loyalty to him. and in this case it just became a situation that needed to be rectified and i think it's general flynn who made that decision and tendered his resignation.

steve: there are stories out that sally yates the then acting attorney general had alerted the white house that mr. flynn might be open to blackmail because of what the conversation was, whatever that was. what's extraordinary to me and we have known that, and why he acted last night, you know. he did what he did, but what's extraordinary to me is just the fact that there are a number of major u.s. papers that apparently got the leak from the intel community that said, hey, look, we have got the transcript of what mr. flynn said on the phone to the russian ambassador. and looks kind of shady. just the fact that there are these leaks inside the permanent government that's troubling. >> you may be the only outlet talking about that this morning so thank you for shining a lot there. a -- a light there. i will let the public make their decisions. leaks are always disturbing. the president of the united states has made that very clear.

leaks when it has to do with security intelligence situation are that much more concerning hypothetically. but what i would say in this case is if you read these reports and then you realize that in this specific instance, what became unsustainable long term was just the particular characterization o contacts between general flynn and others as he relayed them to the highest officials in our land. also i want to say in speaking with president trump thismornino me about charles krauthammer, your fox news colleague's comments on your network last night and wanted me to reference those as well. because it's not a particular contact or incident by itself. it's really the cumulative effect of that leading to incomplete or misleading, forgetful information frankly and completely misleading information that really was the key here. brian: i will read exactly what he said. what strikes me is how bizarre

the story is coverup without a crime. the idea that all should be agas because the national security advisor spoke with the russian 3w578s about sanctions seems to my to be perfectly reasonable. the idea that it was illegal was preposterous is that what you are referring to. >> yes, it is. thank you for repeating those remarks. i wish others were doing that today just because i think that's important here as context where others are questioning timing and all that it's very important to note that. and to realize that, you know, vice president pence went on national tv as did others in the national tv based on information that was provided that was either incorrect or incomplete. brian: kellyanne conway, so the fact that he talked about sanctions with the russian ambassador did not bother the president; is that correct? >> no, i don't want to say that, i don't know that. and it's not for me to say that it's just the key is how did we get to this point. steve: right. >> and where do we go from this point is where we are focused today from the white

house. steve: kellyanne conway, there is a story in the "new york times" that said the vice president was angry at mr. flynn because he lied to him. do you think that's angry description? >> i don't like to characterize other people's emotions. but i have worked with vice president pence for over a decade. and he is a man who is slow to anger. he is very deliberative individual. obviously brilliant and serves our country very well as our vice president. he has -- his office has publicly said that general flynn and the vice president had spoken a couple times and that general flynn had apologized to the vice president. and then fast forward general flynn ended up resigning and the president accepted that resignation. ainsley: we wish general flynn all the best. >> absolutely. ainsley: he has 30 years serving our country and something like this, you just don't want that to taint his reputation after he has sacrificed so much for our country. >> i agree completely, ainsley. we wish the president and vice president the best as they find a new national security advisor. some people are high fiving

themselves they got -- folks, this is national security and intelligence. that means it effects us all. steve: yeah. >> it's just -- we need to move on as a country and get that right in the next phase very quickly indeed the president will. the president has already discussed options and he has general kellogg in there as his acting national security advisor and will be meeting with his team today to move very swiftly. brian: is it true that general petraeus is coming to the white house today. >> it's true that general petraeus has been mentioned as one possible replace along with mr. harrward and of course national acting keith kellogg. brian: is he coming to the white house today? >> i haven't looked at today's schedule since last night. i got called to come over here. steve: you have been busy. brian: we appreciate it. we understand that vice admiral michelle howard is also a leading candidate to replace flynn. have you heard that? >> she certainly has served with country with great distinction. we'll have to see how the day

progresses and what the president decides to do. ainsley: when will he make a decision, do you think? >> well, he will need to take his time in terms of considering who is best for this role. brian: right. >> as you just know you mentioned a name. i have mengsd three other names. obviously he has many great choices. he will make that decision on his time line as he always does. one thing about president trump is we always know who is in charge, his voice, these decisions ultimately end with him and we respect that. brian: you come out and say the confidence of the president is with flynn. spicer comes out a little while later and says you know essentially we are still deliberating on that still up in the air. what about the difference in messaging there? >> they are both true. in other words, the president is a very loyal person. he has confidence that the national security advisor mike flynn was involved in many different briefings and phone calls and of course the why lateral meeting yesterday with justin trudeau of canada.

as the evening wore on mike flynn understood this was no longer sustainable. he tendered his resignation and the president accepted that resignation. if you are misleading or providing incomplete or inaccurate information to the vice president, then if not others, it's an area where course corrections will need to be taken. general flynn decided to do that last night and obviously the president accepted his resignation. ainsley: in the middle of you making valentine's day cards with your kids. when the news broke. thank you so much, kellyanne conway. happy valentine's day day to you. >> thank you. steve: there you go. brian: crazy day 25 days in. steve: 17 minutes before the top of the hour on this tuesday. who is behind the anti-trump movement sweeping the country? the shocking allegation it's actually former president barack obama. our next guest lays out how he is working behind the scenes to sabotage the new president.

ainsley: good morning, welcome back to "fox & friends." some quick headlines starting with a fox news alert. there is an urgent warning about the flu as deaths have spiked as it spreads to 40 states now. the cdc saying it's already claimed the lives of 20 children, including four in ohio over the past two weeks alone. the flu is now widespread in all states that you can see in that light bluish color. doctors say's it's not too late to get the flu shot. so please be careful. nearly impossible to get fired from the irs. scathing new report finding 99% of agency employees investigated for tax evasion were able to keep their jobs. in fact, just 74 of more than 9,000 employees were investigated were let go over the past five years. those are your headlines, i will see you shortly. brian. brian: protests erupted over refugee order. barack obama said quote he is

heartened by the demonstrations is that it? that was a message to his troop. army ofage gu agitators. paul, you point to organizing for america. what is organizing america doing with these protesters and what's the president link to the organization? >> yeah. all protests against trump are not spontaneous. premanufactured by ofa. ofa is obama. ofa is the organizing for action. it's an nonprofit that's officially tied to obama. brian: the guy is wind surfing. is he really organizing? >> oh, yeah. he is behind all these protests that are breaking out across the country. they want you to believe that this is some broad-based, sudden uprising against trump's policies but it's not. it's just obama and his radical activists.

brian: how many are involved in ofa? >> well, according to their tax records i looked up, they have got an army of over 32,000 hard core alinsky trained. they have a big training summit coming up in march. obama is building a shadow government to sabotage trump at every turn. and he has got an army to do it. brian: you know something was up when jason chaffetz wins his district with 73% of the vote. yet e at a town hall 70% of the people at that town hall were screaming at him over obamacare. >> safe republican district. yeah, that wasn't spontaneous, of course. that's all from right out of the training manual that ofa has put out. i have a copy of it they actually have a whole section in here on how to target these town halls and ambush republicans who go back in and

hold these town hall meetings. get seated and spread out. head in to the venue a bit early to grab seats at the front of the room. but do not all sit together. sit by yourself or in groups of two. and spread out throughout the room. this will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus. brian: have you talked to the administration offline and even sometimes on camera, they are stunned by the amount of uprising. the fact that these protests haven't stopped. you're not because you know where it starts. you know where the foundation is. >> yeah. i mean, the trump white house, the republican lawmakers, they are just completely blind sided. they don't know where this is coming from. the opposition in the media say this is organic. it's not organic. this is where this is all coming from. it's coming from obama. he has basically set up an opposition government. boy, i tell you, there is no precedent for this. this is the first president who is actually staying behind in washington at least for the last 100 years.

brian: we just touched on the surface what your investigating has revealed. organizing for america, barack obama vs. donald trump continues. thank you so much. next, we change gears netflix is your partner cheating on you? we will find out. let's do more. add one a day women's complete with key nutrients we may need. plus it supports bone health with calcium and vitamin d. one a day women's in gummies and tablets. trust #1 doctor recommended dulcolax.

steve: just in time for today, valentine's day, a new study says that nearly half of the couples are netflix cheaters, breaking binge watching promises to only watch with their partners but when they fall asleep, suddenly they zip ahead. ainsley: here with more on today's top trends fox headlines 24/7 reporter carlie shimkus. >> you think you know a perso

person, guys and you find out something like this. 40% of people admit to watching extra episodes of their favorite show behind their partner's back. not good. you make that sacred promise to watch a show together, you better uphold your end of the bargain. steve: i can't tell you how many times i have turned on netflix and we are about to watch episode 8 it now says you are ready for episode 13. >> that's how you find out that's terrible. steve: usually it's my daughter sally. brian: i have my own identity. so. steve: you should. brian: i have my own identity. we all have our own identities. so we can't really cheat unless someone penetrates my identity. >> number one reason behind this cheating is because the partner falls asleep. you are so invested in the show you have got to watch. viewer comments. no i would not do that to my wife and she wouldn't do that to me. steve: sure, that's what this say in public. >> jean says i sure do. the minute i start the show my

husband falls asleep and he has the nerve to snore. i'm a victim of this, too. i told my husband that i wanted to watch stranger things with him and then a couple weeks later i found out he watched the whole season without me and i didn't know. ainsley: still watched it with you and already knew what has happening. >> i never saw the show. brian: flu counseling? >> i think we have so set something up? brian: i think we have to. ainsley: she hesitated. she never answered. this is becoming a whole different kind of couch now. ainsley: brian is way ahead on the bachelor. steve: happy valentine's day. >> thanks, happy valentine's day, guys. steve: agents arresting more illegals and here is how the mainstream media v >> he is trying to be a tough guy so he is going to go after the maids, the moms, the people that are working in the shops. instead of going after the hard core criminals. steve: going after the maids and moms?

>> yeah. ainsley: do the kids still do the valentine's day? one valentine card for every kid in the class? >> and i don't know what this new trend that you not only get valentines for every kid in the class but then every child gets candy. like, what is that? brian, did you do that when you were a kid? steve: i remember everybody got the valentine. everybody would take a shoe box about the day before, cover it in something red. ainsley: and you would save the guy in your class that you thought was cute, but you never talked to. >> and you sent a note do you like me? yes, no. i love that time. brian: when i get up in the morning, i'm not thinking valentine's day. i'm thinking -- >> national security.

ainsley: you're clearly thinking news since we spent the last five minutes talking about valentine's day. steve: last night around 5:00 we learned that national flynn is out as security adviser. what's the back story on that? >> i think the long knives are out for flynn almost the moment he was announced. i had heard this through back channels coming from the white house. others had in washington. that's no big secret. but i think this really was the death by 1,000 leaks. we've seen a leak problem, which i think we wrote about this three or four weeks ago. steve: i read that. >> the leaks that were coming out of this administration and the transition before the administration were at a level i don't remember quite seeing for quite some time. when you look back on the obama years, they were actually decent at keeping the leaks to a minimum. they were actually not bad about the leaks until hillary's e-mails got exposed. but the leaks are pretty --

they're kept to a minimum. but within just i think a few days of donald trump getting elected, you saw this faction saying this, this faction saying that, this person's going to get elected coming from trump tower. none of this is helpful. flynn is a patriot and a good man. i don't know what that transcript said, and we're hearing a lot of reports about what wasn't in the transcript, but we don't know what was in the transcript. but clearly he had become a distraction. he was not going to remain as the national security adviser. but now the drumbeat will be what did the president know and when did he know it about the potential for blackmail? about the transcript? and they need a narrative that is clear and unequivocally and obviously truthful about what all happened. because the left smells blood, and they are going to stay on this russia story. steve: absolutely.

laura, the washington post has got a story this morning that talks about how sallyiates, the acting president general to happen fired a couple of weeks ago. she and clapper and james brennon, who were part of the intel community until the 20th day of january, they were all talking before the administration came in. hey, look. look at what he said. so then when she became acting attorney general, she warned the white house. it goes through the leaks thing. because what was on that paper because we wiretap the russian officials. >> yeah. steve: the papers got that paper. whatever happened to secrets in washington? >> well, none of them like trump. none of them. wanted him to be president. sallsally yates, i'm sure she's a nice person, she did not want trump in there. okay? she made her views about trump clear.

she never should have been put in there as the acting. that was a mistake by the trump people. that having been said, you don't leak information from transcripts to calls to the press. you don't get "the new york times" on the phone and start, you know, jaw boning with them about national security matters. that is also a violation of ethical duty, is it not? and clapper doesn't like trump and brennon didn't like trump and trump did roughly the feathers of the intelligence community coming early on. so everybody has to take the temperature down and there has to be order in the west entertaining clear flow of information that goes to the chief executive and telling donald trump what he wants to hear is not how to run the west wing. brian: and do you feel as though that's happened? there's not enough people telling donald trump don't do this and don't do that. >> yes. yes. , yes, i feel very strongly that there are a lot of folks in the west wing who are good people.

they've never worked in government. they've never done this before. they've run great businesses, and they're great people. but when you go to the oval office, yes, it's to the president, but you serve the nation. and you do not serve the chief executive or the nation well if you go in with your tail between your legs, and you're afraid of who's going to bite your head off. you say, no, i'm not going to talk about this issue or that issue, i'm going to tell you what's happening in the real world. this is what's happening, and this is what my strong recommendation of how we proceed here. and there has to be a thought early on about how to handle these issues. just saying pleasing the boss -- i'm probably offending everybody by saying this. but i've been in this cauldron. it is nasty, it is difficult, it is hard to navigate. but you don't do yourself any favors by just telling the boss what he wants to hear. you just don't. ainsley: you're talking about people who don't like president trump and that goes

for the mainstream media as well as these liberal activists who are advertising for political activist training. we'll train you how to be a political activist. they're teaching locals how to protest in advance of town halls. so here this is what the advertisement looked like. steve: in the local papers. ainsley: how to effective address your congressman at a town hall meeting. brian: don't sit together. spread out. make sure you don't give away how you feel. look like you're by yourself. also these republican districts. he believes this is all about organizing for america. >> great interview. brian: which is barack obama's organization. they believe the president's behind it. >> it's time for conservative activists to start getting into those meetings, don't you think? it's time for conservative activists to expose what they're doing, and i think they are. this is a free country. you can organize and oppose and frankly i celebrate that. what i don't celebrate is the effort to shut down speech. the left is -- today's left. not everybody. but dominant voices in today's

left are interested not in substantive debate, they're interested in demeaning them. they want to stop betsy devos from going into the education department, they're picking the wrong person for that. they want to make the country ungovernable. that's their goal at some points up to law-abiding citizens who believe in a vigorous debate to expose what they're doing and why they're doing it. they believe anarchy works in their favor. they believe anarchy and perhaps even violence will end up showing donald trump to be, you know, whatever they want to make him out to be. brian: you know the argument. what's different from what they're doing and the tea party? >> that campaign is one of the most misleading comparisons. the tea party was not encouraging individuals to be shut down from speech.

i've been to a lot of tea party meetings. in 2009 and 2010 they were a lot of family affairs. these are substantive conversations about tax reform, obamacare, immigration. but mostly it was about obamacare and government spending and tax reform. these were very substantive, and they were very patriotic. this is an all-out effort to stop speech. that's what this is about and there is no comparison. and what you saw at berkeley, that's connected to all of this as well. because they can stoke violence and commit violence and get away with it, which many of them did, they'll do it. that's not the tea party. steve: let's talk a little bit about this. it looks like mainstream media is trying to whip people into a lather over these ice raids trying to make it seem like suddenly donald trump's in charge and they're going to go door-to-door to round people up. he has been very clear,

though, that he's targeting these violent criminal offenders. for instance, if you -- and we've got a list. they're picking up people who have been convicted -- accused of homicide, sexual abuse, all sorts of bad stuff. >> oh, no big deal. steve: but nowhere on that list right there are moms and maids and yet that's what the mainstream media says. listen to this real quick. >> what took place yesterday with raids in personal homes is part of the cog of the trump deportation machine. >> how inhuman this is to be breaking down doors and separating parents from children. >> this is donald trump executing his campaign plan. he's trying to be a tough guy, so he's going to go after the maids, the moms, the people that are working in the shops instead of going after the hard-core criminals. >> the vast majority of immigrants in this country are not criminals, are not terrorists, are not gun

members. lupe garcia has been in this country for 22 years. look what donald trump did. this is what donald trump did. steve: okay. so there he is. >> immigration so be stories. yeah, i've been covering these on my radio show since 2006 or so. this does not surprise me at all. the misinformation about this is being done for a purpose. donald trump is going to be made out to be a heartless horrible without compassion chief executive of the country. this is so predictable and so tedious. what needs to be say is george ramos who is a very passionate citizen. believes there shouldn't be a border. borders are irrelevant. he believes if you're an individual who came into this country illegally, you have a constitutional right to stay here. that is what he believes. and they are on the extreme of

this debate. the law-abiding americans and immigrants who flood my call every day with calls, they are so sick to death of the american media and the american left and the open borders activists demonizing our border patrol, demonizing law enforcement, and demonizing the immigration customs enforcement who are trying to execute faithfully their duties to enforce u.s. law. this is a lawlessness that can't be tolerated. criminals are menacing good people in this country. they do not have a constitutional right to be here. that has to be pointed out time and again. every time they tell a so be story like this. nobody is separating families. when you have decided to commit a crime, you have decided to separate your own family. that's your decision. ainsley: it's fear mongering at its best. i tell you what we should be afraid of is these criminals living in this country. it's ridiculous. >> again, none of these gang members reside in brentwood, in santa monica, in cambridge. they don't live in georgetown.

they don't live out in san francisco. they live in the poor communities, and they'reter arriving those communities. ainsley: all right. thanks, laura. >> happy valentine's day. steve: thank you. steve: who's next? we talk about that. hashtag "stuffy nose." hashtag "no sleep." i got it. hashtag "mouthbreather." yep. we've got a mouthbreather. well, just put on a breathe right strip and ... pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. so you can breathe ... and sleep. shut your mouth and say goodnight mouthbreathers. breathe right. what's the story behind green mountain coffee and fair trade? let's take a flight to colombia. this is boris calvo. boris grows mind-blowing coffee. and because we pay him a fair price, he improves his farm and invest in his community to make even better coffee. all for a smoother tasting cup. green mountain coffee.

brian: all right. a fox news alert now. the search for a new national security adviser taking center stage after michael flynn's resignation last night. ainsley: right now, there are three leading contornadoes replace and rob is here. >> all three are highly experienced military men, whatever the choice is they'll have to take command. former navy seal and deputy commander. he also served under our new defense secretary james mattis and the two are good friends. and then there's the current acting adviser retired colonel chief kellogg, he's been serving his chief of staff for the national security counsel. kellogg has 36 years of experience in the military. served two tours in vietnam earned a number of medals including the silver star. was also second in command for the air force decision from

1997 to 1998. and final general petraeus. secretary of state but still that cloud of scandal hanging over him for giving classified documents to his mistress back in 2012. remember that story. said to visit the white house. but when will mr. trump decide? here's what kellyanne conway just told us. >> he'll need to take his time in terms of considering who is best for this role. obviously he has many great choices, and he'll make that decision on his timeline, as he always does. one thing about president trump is we always know who's in charge, his choice, his voice. ultimately these decisions rest with him, and we all respect that. >> so the is senior administration official tells our john roberts if howard is the pick, he could be in place by the end of the week. steve: that would be quick. >> it needs to be fast. steve: thank you. straight ahead could students cleaning up after class help one district cut costs?

chris coons, democrat from delaware and rob, republican from ohio. good morning, gentlemen. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning. steve: senator portman, let's start with you. what do you think about mr. flynn resigning last night after it became public that apparently when he talked to the russian ambassador before he actually got the job, before the trump administration took hold, they talked apparently about sanctions and stuff like that? >> yeah. the issue as i understand is that that wasn't communicated to the vice president and others. so, look, it's an internal decision. they made and apparently general flynn offered his resignation. my interactions with the guy were positive. he was occurre courteous. brian: do you think president trump has to move swift to replace? >> i think it's good the president moved to replace someone was clear to base the administration. there's questions about general flynn's ties to

russia. his actions during the campaign and national security adviser, but it's my hope the administration will quickly choose a competent national security adviser, particularly given a number of troubling recent developments around the world. we need a strong national security team in place. brian: all right. we're hoping to get that strong cabinet in place for the country. he's only got nine okayed so far. on deck we understand is going to be -- he's going to have ryan, governor peri,wilbur with ross. they're still waiting as well as nick mulvan works ey. is there going to be a cabinet confirmation on these, senator coons? >> well, we're going to vote for linda mcmann later morning. i joined all of my colleagues in voting for the va nominee last night. my vote is to vote for these

carefully. i have heard from thousands of delawareans with serious concerns about the qualifications of several of the nominees. so i think it's appropriate that we moved in a deliberate way. i think we'll get through all of these nominees through this week or at the latest the first week that we're back. ainsley: but why the delay? a lot of people are saying it's political. because if you look at the past, 43 -- bush 43 and president obama had seven people confirmed on day one. president trump has been in office for three weeks now and about nine have been confirmed. >> ainsley, i agree with you on that. the slowest pace of cabinet confirmation since george washington. you have to go all the way back to the beginning and, look, we're seeing what's happening. these nominees are being slow walked, the democrats are taking every possible method they can in terms of delay, and i think it's bad for the country, and i think we need to speak on place. chris has voted for the nominees. but whether he did or not, i think it's important for all

of us to move forward on the process. at the end of the day, i think all of these nominees are probably going to get confirmed, and i think people know that. and we do have a lot of problems out there as chris said and some are in the national security realm but still relay some of the issues we have in transportation and areas like energy where we need to have somebody in place. so let's get these done and then get onto the work of tax reform and regulatory reform and some other things we can do to get the economy moving. steve: well, maybe you're not on the same page when it comes to the cabinet timetable. however, you are on the same page when it comes to the stop taxing disability act. senator coons, tell us about that. >> it has a very catchy name i think. this was rooted in real experiences and senator portman and i had both brought by constituents. eric is a wonderful delawarean works on my staff and his family experienced a tragedy. his older brother graduated from college, a promising start to a young career.

he had $75,000 in student loan debt but tragically he developed a brain tumor and died just a year out of college. his parents were devastated and struggled to find out how to pay off his $75,000 in student loans. eric informed them there was a federal program you could get those loans forgiven in this case of the death. and then they got nailed with a $25,000 irs bill. so our bill would get rid of that burden over death or disability. steve: senator portman. >> well, we have an interesting case in ohio. carolyn is the name of the mom, they lives in ohio. and her son was tragically in an accident, totally disabled and yet she still has to pay off the student loans. it's different than with regard to death where she would be taxed on it. in this case, she's actually got to pay off these loans, and it's tens of thousands of

dollars in addition to the cost that they're incurring dealing with their son's disability. our legislation simply gives the secretary of education the discretion in those cases to provide the relief that i think everybody would agree is necessary. so with regard to taxing and also with regard to those loans, this legislation makes a lot of sense. we're hoping we can get it through the finance committee quickly and sign it into law. brian: senator cruz, senator portman, now if you can do tax reform and build up the fence, occurring on that? >> absolutely. steve: before noon, please. we're in a hurry. all right. guys, thank you very much. >> thank you. thank you for having us on. steve: all right. meanwhile straight ahead former president barack obama said this is the reason he refuses to call radical islamic terror radical islamic terror. >> folks think that and claim that they're speaking for islam, but i don't want to validate what they do. steve: but this morning we've got the real reason he refused to say radical islam and that's coming up next.

fancy sleeves. i like how the girls are, like, we're going to eat the brussels sprouts. >> yes. most definitely. so here's the deal. one pan because you and i are not fans of dishes; right? so what you're going to do is take these tongs, which i have somewhere. let's go here. take the chicken cutlet, steve. now dab that in the flower. so once it goes in the flower, you go both sides, this will make your sauce nice and thick. now, leave that bad boy in there. here's the deal. steve: i did chicken last night. >> now one pan. now what i want you to do is add everything we love about picata. go with the capers, baby. do it. now, this morning i made a lot of fans with all of this garlic in the kitchen. okay? a little bit of butter, my friend. steve: you can never have too much butter. >> a little bit. trust me. steve, don't do it. don't add all of that.

that's -- a little bit. now love for you. now you take time. okay? add more time. >> it's taking time. steve: we're running out of time. >> you take a little bit of whole grain mustard, dijon mustard, when it's cooked down, ladies, check this out. steve, just call me next >> .. steve: okay. >> i will come to your house. i gave you a book for christmas. >> i know. my wife loves it. >> this is brussels sprouts, time. now olive oil. our chicken is increased just like this. here's your sauce when it's done. this sauce is what we just made in the pan with the whole grain mustard. the rosemary. the lemon. you did an amazing job with that. now, get in there with the knife and the fork. ladies, try this. last but not least, go online

and check this out. this is on my book. an easy chocolate moose. i thought brian was going to have to cook today. so i had him whip the whipped cream. chocolate moose in front. ladies, try this. a little bit of whipped cream goes on top. >> i'm going for the dessert. steve: she's from canada. she likes moose. [laughter] >> all of that is get in there with a fork. it doesn't matter. capers and chocolate are a great marriage. so what you do is you make the sauce in the pan. you sauté the chicken with the brussels sprouts like i did before. >> because of the rosemary, i've never smelled that before, it smells unbelievable. >> what you have to do at valentine's day is kick it up just one more notch. throw in one extra ingredient that you haven't done in a while. >> all right. does white wine go with this? or red wine? >> have you even had breakfast this morning? >> it's 5:00 any time.

>> this is for you. happy valentine's day. just like that. >> no, you don't need a glass. >> oh, i'm going to be a fun valentines date later on. >> here you go, my dear. what you do is add a little bit of white wine into the dish too. or if you want to mix it up, you just add a little bit of red wine. >> thank you very much. i'm coming to your house next ti. steve: if you would like the recipe, go to fox and friends.com. >> you'll be fantastic at the kindergartener valentine's day party in about an hour from now. good morning to all of you. we begin with a fox news alert, and it is a serious story to bring to you from the west coast right now. a potential life or death emergency at the orville dam in california. storms are now moving into that area and that is threatening vital repairs to the crumbling main spillway. forecasts predicting what could be an entire week of rain, crews racing against the clock to fix those massive holes after hundreds of thousands of gallons from lake orville chewed through the

concrete. nearly 200,000 people had to leave everything behind to evacuate fearing a spill will fail at any moment. so we'll keep you posted on that. well, our former president reducing to call the horrific attacks of isis and al-qaeda exactly what they were. radical islamic extremism. all right. but according to a former state department official, no one was allowed to use that term in our government. why? because mr. obama didn't want to offend some of our middle eastern allies. in a new york times editorial today, richard writes this. quote to defeat radical islamic extremism, we needed our islamic allies, and they believe that that term unfairly vilified a whole religion. that in the new york times today. and a fate of dusky gopher frog is now in the hands of the u.s. supreme court. an appeals court reducing to reconsider a decision that maintained private inland
