who allegedly stole his pickupy. the victim was dragged for quite a while before eventually losing his grip. the puppy is still missing. let's hope he finds it. clayton: "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good morning. >> we have accomplished almost everything we have started out to accomplish. >> he what also a the trump administration done? they have done nothing. >> more than two hours into the show and donald trump hasn't tweeted about us once. i'm started to get worried about him. >> any information being leaked out of this administration needs to have a leak put on it. >> called two dozen staffers into his office and asked him to hand over their phones to prove they weren't the leakers. >> kurt busch wins the daytona 500. >> >> first time he has won the daytona 500,. >> big weekend for president trump as he gets ready to make good on more of his campaign promises. >> the academy award for best

picture -- >> la la land. >> there's a mistake. moon light, you guys won best picture. this is not a joke. i'm afraid they read the wrong thing. moon light, best picture. ♪ it's a mistake. >> i don't know if men at work had that in mind when they song but it's certainly appropriate today. >> they starred at bonnie and clyde in the movie fay dunaway and warren baitedy last night. the oscars as we knew were trying to make it the most politically anti-trump telecast in history. and, yet, this morning what are we going to talk about? how the award for biggest mistake in the history of the oscars goes to the academy awards. brian: guess what? you missed it? because you are watching us and have you to get some sleep. it happened at 12:15 in the morning eastern time.

this show goes on and on their clean up hitter hitting at 12:15 in the morning. if you missed it, watch what took place as they get to announce best picture. there to do it faye dunaway and warren beatty and then it all went wrong. >> for best picture. >> you're impossible. >> go on. >> la la land. >> there's a mistake. moon light, you guys won best picture. >> moon light won. >> this is not a joke. >> this is not a joke. i'm afraid they read the wrong thing. >> this is not a joke. moon light has won best picture. moon light. best picture. this is very unfortunate what happened. personally i blame steve harvey for this. >> warren, what did you do? >> i opened the envelope, and

it said emma stone, la la land. that's why i took such a long look at faye and at you. i wasn't trying to be funny. >> well, you were funny. >> thank you very much. >> this is moon light. the best picture. steve: that is karma. >> it was such a big mistake that even moon light thought this was a terrible joke. apparently pryce water house cooper has been organizing this for over 80 years. and they issued a statement apologizing saying it was their fault. they handed them the wrong card for best actress. you saw when they are looking at it a little bit of confusion. that's why they went back and forth because it said emma stone on it. steve: apparently what they do every year is they have two envelopes that are identical. as it turns out. after the show. they said to emma stone it looks like he had your card. she said i had my card in my hand the whole time.

as it turns out, some stage hand actually gave warren beatty and faye dunaway the identical card. and it said best actress on it. and inside it said la la land emma stone. so it was an accounting error like nothing we have ever seen on television. >> how much time do they plan for the awards writing these jokes, figuring out a way to make it funny and interesting and attacking president trump. that is what no one is talking about this morning. twitter went nuts over. this i missed the ending. i was asleep. i didn't watch any of these awards. i went to sleep. woke up. this is all i have been reading all morning long. brian: talking about it so much i made myself watch all night and in and out and i could not believe how long this was going on. and prime time and the biggest time. they have big announcements early so like 9:00, 10:00 editing, great people and do all the hard work. that's not why people tune in. other thing i understand is both sides of the stage have

identical cards in case there is a stage left and stage right. one side wasn't up to date with the other side. i don't think you can fault warren beatty, do you? steve: no. absolutely not. brian brian you are not supposed to go up there and have the skill of jimmie kim my or johnny carson my gut tells me something is wrong here. this is just an actor told to read the one title of a movie off a card. and maybe he could have not given it to faye dunaway maybe he could say wait a second, this doesn't seem right. steve: had he looked at the outside he would have seen it said best actress. in fact when you zoom in you can see he is hold the card that says best actress. instead what you do at the end, you open the envelope, you open it up and there was emma stone, la la land and that's why he showed it to faye dunaway. and she goes la la land. brian brian how classy was it for the la la land for that produce tore come up and say, listen, we didn't win. you guys won.

this is not a joke. abby: guys what do we do here? how about everyone wins an oscar. everyone should get an award. this actually puts what happened to miss universe to shame. they were joking over that think about since then, this has been the year of come backs and surprises whether it's been sporting events like the super bowl. president trump, the oscar awards. we have seen this time and time again over the past year. it's crazy these endings. steve: so while we are talking about how they blew the ending of the oscars last night, they were still very political. i mean, make no mistake about it hollywood hates donald trump and they didn't let us down in that department. watch this. >> this broadcast is being watched live by millions of americans and around the world in more than 225 countries that now hate us. [laughter] and i think that is an amazing thing. this country is divided right now. i have been getting a lot of advice. people have been telling me

it's time to bring people together. you need to say something to unite us. let's just get something straight off the top. i can't do that. that's not -- there is only one brave heart in this room, and he is not going to unite us either. okay? [laughter] some of you will get to come up here on this stage tonight and give a speech that the president of the united states will tweet about in all caps during his 5:00 a.m. bowel movement tomorrow. i want to say thank you to president trump. i mean remember last year when it seemed like the oscars were racist? merrill, stand up if you would, everybody please join me in giving meryl streep a totally undeserved round of applause, will you? [cheers and applause] the highly year rated merrill street. knives dress by the way is that an ivanka? brian: faye dunaway thing i

know you are overrating cramer vs. cramer phoned it in. meryl streep, she is a great actress. her biggest attracter would have to agree with that donald trump tweeted out overrated. don't you think it could have been worse. abby: president trump didn't even tweet about this last night. steve: he was busy. abby: he was at the governor's ball. in a lot of ways this feels like a mean girls situation where they are all sitting there looking at each other like we're so pretty. we're so important. we're so good at what we do. aren't we great? can we give ourselves on a pat on the back. brian: you're not invited to the ball. brian: cool guys in the hall still. steve: meryl streep would have given the most political anti-trump speech of the night she didn't win because the oscar went to emma stone in the category that, of course, warren beatty then showed to faye dunaway and, of course, now the rest is history.

abby: can i end with the miss universe tweet they started the whole thing when they announced the wrong winner she was crowned and horrible. they tweeted. have your people call our people. we know what to do. brian: that blakes it a lot better and steve harvey has to be thrilled and good ad-lib that jimmy kimmel had. steve: on friday something going on in the west wing. sean spicer the press secretary to donald trump the president of the united states called in a staff meeting and said how come i'm reading all of these what are presumed to be private conversations and private staff meetings with the communications department? why am i reading them in the newspaper? unflattering remarks about the west wing? and so he had everybody in the communications departments apparently leave their phone on a table as they came in and then he said we are going to have the white house lawyer look through your phones and see who you have been talking to. i'm sick and tired of these leaks. brian: do you have a problem with that? because i don't.

i have no problem with because this is national secrets. you are either on my team or not on my team. if i'm sean spicer i'm doing the same thing. listen, i'm having this private meeting with 10 to 12 people and it's in politico the next day or the "new york times." they leaked out the conversation about the leak. abby: he said this is the first time doing this? i'm being nice here. this happens again and you come back in my office it's going to be bad ending. i think he also gave up some of his stuff sean spicer as parity of this in front of the group saying i'm going to do it too to show you how important it is to all of us. steve: he showed a couple of tweets. he had a tweet called confide that encrypts things and as soon as you text it deletes. he apparently deleted it right there. this particular communications department at the white house is comprised of a number of people from different campaigns. differential campaigns that hated donald trump. now they are working for donald trump. so are they out to make donald trump last night there at the

governor's meeting make him look good or make him look bad with these leaks a lot of the things look bad. so they have got to crack down and of course the president wants to crack down on them, too. brian: corey lewandowski had that same point when he was on with chris wallace yesterday. >> any information being leaked out of this administration needs to have a lid put on it and hard to do have career bureaucrats sitting in government agencies that have access to information that have completely different agenda. if the senate would confirm the selections for secretary and under positions we could stop those things. hopefully the senate will take those up and confirm those. brian: not just the senate. people that the trump administration could be appointing and hiring. they have got to pick up the pace. they did the nominees quick. the senate held them down and surprise and disappointing to every american because you can't function with half a staff. the people that need to be appointed without confirmation, i'm talking about 500 plus people.

abby: they have information and disgruntled by some of them. steve: not just a problem in the west wing. i believe it was last week the state department put out a four-page memo about how these leaks are against the law and, of course, it was immediately leaked. we are not leaking this out. we are going to sit down with the president of the united states late this afternoon in the east room of the white house and you will see the exclusive morning show first interview with the president of the united states donald trump tomorrow right here throughout the program on "fox & friends." abby: what do you guys want to ask him? brian: we don't know. we're just going to wing it. abby: see how it goes. brian: whatever comes up. abby: send us your questions as well i'm sure you already have a stack that's been sent in. steve: we do. hundreds. brian: sliding them under the door. steve: on the train ride to washington we will go through the entire list. if you have a question email us or facebook us or tweet us. in the meantime, 6:12 here in new york city here on this monday morning. senator elizabeth warren has

been vocal of her support of immigrants and refugees. >> it is illegal. >> it is illegal. >> it is unconstitutional. >> it is unconstitutional. >> it will be overturned. >> it will be overturned. brian: that's hold the bull horns. steve: but now some of our nation's heroes are asking when will the senator have their back? those veterans will join us live next. brian: many on the left around the world plotting a women's march against president trump. this time organized by a convicted terrorist. fantastic. ♪ you can't escape my eyes ♪ private eyes ♪ they're watching you ♪ they see your every move ♪ private eyes ♪ ♪

good morning to both of you. good morning to both of you. >> thanks for having us on once again. abby: we had you on yesterday morning. there was such an overwhelming amount of support. people were loving what you were saying yesterday, john. what did you hear back. >> i have got to tell you what, i heard from veterans that i served with in operation desert storm over 25 years ago, and veterans across this country that had responded. and you know, this is a real call to action. one thing they asked about is that, you know, how do we help? i just want to say that, you know, each veteran listens, you know, we took an oath to defend our country against enemies foreign and domestic. and none of us have been released from that oath. we're asking our brothers and sisters, our fellow veterans to join together once again and to rise up to take on a cause and that cause is a fight for each other. organize, take action. call your representatives. speak out against speak out

against this injustice supporting illegal immigrants people that don't belong here. we are are not anti-immigrant group. this is not a political statement. we have a group of politicians literally shutting down the government refusing to work with the president of the united states. veterans can't afford another four years of inaction at the v.a. we just find that absolutely outrageous. abby: this is a wake-up call for senator elizabeth warren. we see you at the airport with your blow horn protesting proteg illegal immigration. you think about the city of boston. have you got city hall where so much is happening with immigration and in the homeless shelter for veterans right behind that city hall. what message do you have for senator warren and why are you focusing so much on her? >> the message we have for

every politician in this country between 15 and 20 million veterans. if we get all our veterans together, people that are serving currently in the armed forces and call our representatives, we have an unbelievable voting block. i got a call from a ma he is in san diego. one of his fellow marines needs a colonoscopy. they told him to wait seven months for it why don't we give veterans the same healthcare we give congress. same healthcare elizabeth warren has and the rest of the senate and congress. let's give it to the veterans. then the argument is over. abby: thank you, guys for being with us. thank you for that service and message. it's all one we need to hear john and dennis. good luck. >> thank you for having us. >> thank you. abby: coming up, democrats now claim they are a party united after electing a new chair to the dnc is that true. some say the race was rigged. the wodehouse brothers are

abby: welcome back to "fox & friends." quick headlines to bring you now. man accused of plowing down dozens at the mardi gras parade had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit. nielsen hit two cars and plowed into that crowd. nearly 30 people hurt and youngest 3 years old. sharing chilling post hours before that tragedy quote when have you insane driving skills. is he now in jail facing several charges. 500 head stones toppled over and another disgusting act of vandalism as a jewish cemetery in the united states. right now philadelphia police are trying to figure out who did this and why. this comes less than a week after vandals overturned more

than 100 head stones at a jewish cemetery in st. louis. you can see right there the vice president mike pence helping to clean that up damage. in the last month, more than 60 jewish centers across the country have now received bomb threats. and tragedy striking hollywood twice over the weekend. the actor bill paxton and friend of our show here passing away suddenly from heart surgery complications. his career spanning nearly four decades. >> i think we're going to hit. >> we got a pretty large bang there associated with a master alarm. >> bill paxton was 61 years old. i have to say i spent time with him in our green room here and he was a lovely man. so polite. we also lost one of the original reality tv stars the judge joseph wapner laid down the law in the people's court in the 1980s. judge wapner was 97 years old and those are your headlines. one movie wapner, wapner, was

that from forrest gump maybe? steve: rain man. steve: all right, heather, thank you. despite their crushing november loss. democrats choosing another establishment candidate to be the dnc head. >> we will all be able to say the united democratic party led the resistance, insured that this president was a one-term president and elected democrats across this country. steve: president obama's former labor secretary tom perez edging narrow win over controversial congressman from minnesota keith ellison. is the party really united as claims. here for debate brad woodhouse. screen as can see left. his brother dallas woodhouse. guys, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> brad, let's start with you, your party after this last election is in the ditch.

is mr. perez the guy to drive you out of the ditch? >> look, i'm really happy with tom perez. i would have been happy with keith ellison. look, i believe to the point here, i believe democrats are united. i don't believe the day after the russians got their preferred candidate sworn in to the white house that it -- when millions of people marched across this country democrats and progressives they weren't looking over their shoulder saying are you a sanders supporter or are you a clinton supporter? democrats party is uniting. we united for a big win in a special election for state senate in delaware this weekend. we will be united going forward. have you got to be united around your policies and what you want to do. and i believe democrats are certainly united about opposing donald trump. steve: okay. dallas, i think you would probably say your brother is in denial. you feel that the democratic party is at the lowest place it has been in decades. >> well, i think the numbers show that when it comes to u.s. governors, it comes to control of state legislatures,

when it comes to state and local races and when it comes to land mass. you know, they are just vast areas of the country where there is very little democrat representation. and by the way, steve, i really think the bernie sanders people ought to check the envelopes this morning. they ought to check and see if they, in fact, got the right candidate elected or. >> give me a break, dallas. >> or get robbed in this. steve: hold on a second, dallas. >> check the envelope. steve: the president of the united states must have been challenge channeling because 23 hours ago he tweeted this out. race for dnc chairman was, of course, totally rigged. bern yption guy like bernie himself never had a chance. clinton demanded perez. now, brad, let me ask you about this. regarding bernie sanders, hing not give to the dnc because, obviously, they were in the tank tore clinton in the last cycle will not give his millions of names of

supporters, and they would really like it. that goes to show you the party is not united with the bernie sanders people. they are a completely divided. >> look, i believe the party is united. one of thing, steve that people didn't pay a lot of attention to this weekend is that tom perez came to the stage after he was elected and he asked for acclimation to make keith ellison the deputy chair of the dnc. there was no such position and he created it for keith ellison. it's very, very seldom you see someone who wins a race that hands a major seat toot person they defeated. i believe the party is united. i believe bernie sanders is going to be part of this bringing the democrats back and making sure that we win in 2018. and i think tom perez is the right person, right person to lead the party. steve: that's what we would expect you to say. final word, dallas. >> steve, the real challenge there is that the democratic party is moving farther left

but their elections for senate in 18 are in states that have gone right. that he was the real chelsea. steve: that is true. brad and dallas thank you very much for joining us live. spirited debate as always on this monday morning. have a good week. >> thank you. steve: you bet. coming up on this monday, did you really think democrats were going to allow president trump to address congress in peace tomorrow night? their new plan to disrupt the historic speech. we will tell you what we know coming up. pluferls, the leader of the next women's march against the president is being organized by a convicted terrorist. that woman. plus, why can't nicole kidman clap? that's right. the moment from last night's oscars that's going viral. what's with her hands? ♪ does that make me crazy? ♪ i got ten new guys starting tomorrow. ten? paul, pauline... is pauline a guy? sorry.

you are talking 10 years. that did not come, i don't believe, from within the house. that came somewhere from within the intelligence community. there is 60,000, 60,000 domestic spies in the nsa. some military, some civilian, most civilian contractors. there is only about 100 who would have had access to that. so it's not an impossible task. i'm going like this because they compartmentalize it. abby: are they going about it the right way though? >> we don't know how they are going about it because they haven't told us. the other leak, the other series of leaks is when someone in the white house tells a friend in the press information that the president doesn't want out there. that's what sean spicer was looking for and there are problems with that. so, if fox comes along, our bosses say hey, doocy, we want your cell phone, fox's cell phone you use for your business. steve: no expectation of privacy. >> they can take it and look at it if the bosses are our government the government is restrained by the fourth amendment.

and the government says they need a fourth amendment. i don't know what sean expires did or what he knew before they collected the law. brian: did he violate the law in doing that. >> he might have depended on what legal basis he had 230r doing it. steve: they had the white house council right there with them. in addition to your white house phone if you had your own personal phone had you to put it on the table, too. >> that clearly they don't have the authority to. unless they had a warrant and again we don't know. abby: what's the answer. >> i don't blame donald trump he is rightfully angry about this stuff going on. so here is he saying the press is bad because they rely on anonymous sources and they don't tell me who is saying bad stuff about me and the leaks have to stop. and then his own people in the white house are leaking information, which fundamentally undermines the way he wants to run the government. so he has every right to try and find out who these people are. abby: what else can he do though, judge, you are saying what sean spicer did you are not sure if they're within the

realm of the law. >> they probably signed an agreement before they began working they would not leak anything to the press. the violation of that agreement is some sort of -- it gives the government some sort of action against them. they may very well, when they sign the agreement have given up their right to privacy, which is why they had to surrender their phones. very dramatic to collect the phones like this. steve: important to have a team he can trust. >> is he absolutely entitled to have a team he can trust. sean spicer is entitled to have a team he can trust. abby: judge, this will continue. brian: i trust the judge because i have given him five or six secrets and they have not leaked out. >> if fly people can keep a secret, two of them are dead. brian: big show ahead, stuart varney, and the man who just accepted the toughest job in the country fixing the v.a., secretary david shulkin with us live next hour. steve: in other news democrats claim repealing and replacing obamacare will force millions

lose their coverage if it is replaced. but what would happen if we kept the current law in place? let's talk a little bit about that. with dr. nicole is a fire. abby: good to have you with us this morning, doctor. >> good morning, guys. abby: let's talk about this side of the argument. i have talked to small business owners in this country throughout the campaign. i can't tell you how heart breaking it has been to hear how many have lost their business because of obamacare. there is a voice in this conversation. what happens if we keep the law in place? >> you know, i have said several times before the impetus the motivation behind the affordable care act is good. we want to try to cover as many americans as possible. this model has proven unsustainable. if we were to go on with business as usual, we will find by the end of 2018 we won't have hardly any assurances in the marketplace which is going to have even less options for our patients and premiums and deductibles are going to continue to go up. steve: thup.

steve: right. >> we have more insured patients than it has in the last 40 years. behind the door burden some by the administration effects of the obamacare. steve: donald trump himself said i tell americans not even touch it for two years it will crater and people will realize it was just a piece of garbage. going forward the republicans say they are going to repeal and replace it and that's political peril if they wind up with something not on par or less than or better than would be great. buff we don't know what's going to be in it because they haven't announced it. >> the system is failing. we are on a one-way track right now to a complete collapse of our healthcare system. it is going to fail whether it's tomorrow or in two years it's going to fail. we need to start coming up with some things. right now healthcare providers we are completely swamped with documentation, compliance, limited time to see our patients. we're working more. we are getting paid less. quality of care is actually going down. this was a weak attempt to

have socialized medicine and for our country that is so large and so culturally and economically diverse it's not going to work so we need something else. abby: they have a challenge on their hands and get it right. dr. is a fire good to have you here this morning breaking the other side down that we don't hear enough. steve: i have a feeling we will hear more about it tomorrow night when the president talks to the joint session of congress. hollywood was so concerned about bashing president trump that they forgot how to give out awards they gave out the wrong one to the wrong people. the oscar blunder everyone is talking about come up. abby: plus, president trump took office. wall street has seen the most explosive rally but the media withgnoring it. this story everyone is buried in. ♪ slowly make you lose your mind ♪ life in the fast lane ♪ everything all the time ♪ life in the fast lane ♪

awkward moment. watch this. if you were asleep last night. take a look. >> for best picture. >> you're impossible. go on. >> la la land. >> there's a mistake. moon light, you are guys won best picture. >> moon light won. >> this is not a joke. this is not a joke. i'm afraid they read the wrong thing. this is not a joke. moon light has won best picture. moon light. best picture. >> this is very unfortunate what happened. personally, i blame steve harvey for this. >> warren, what did you do? >> i opened the envelope, and it said emma stone, la la land. that's why i took such a long look at faye and at you. i wasn't trying to be funny. [laughter] >> well, you were funny.

>> thank you very much. >> wow, this is. >> this is moonlight, the best picture. steve: now he has got the right envelope. brian: he was handed the wrong card. he read it obviously, he looked at it. saw something that was wrong and you do what you always do give it to your co-host. abby, take it away. abby: water house cooper has been doing this for 80 years and they came out and said this is our faults. brian: maybe this is accounting humor. came out within the last hour we sincerely apologize to moon light, la la land, war wynn beatty and faye dunaway and oscar winners when the announcement was made for best picture. they had mistakenly given the wrong category envelope and when discovered immediately recollected. we're currently investigating how this could have happened and deeply regret this has occurred that guy that came on at the end was the -- he had already given acceptance

speech. steve: he is from la la land. brian: i thought that was good of him to say listen, not a joke. we didn't win. they won. steve: screen right there is a guy behind jimmy kimmel with a head set he went around and told everybody. what happened was there were ultimately these stories on the twit earth verse how we saw leo decaprio holding the card. he put it down. he put it up. that has since been discredited. >> leo was getting the blame for a while. steve: now as it turns out we are learning that price waterhouse actually has a duplicate set and somehow the best actress card which was used earlier there was a duplicate that wound up in the hands of warren beatty and also faye dunaway and that's why this happened and had a backup plan. abby: such an awkward moment. you feel bad for both movies that were on the stage and off the stage. moon light said they thought this was a really cruel joke

at first because it was so bad. brian: miss universe they took the crown out of they grabbed it from each other. abby: tweeted out call us we know how to handle it. brian: moon light says i have to get the oscar grab it from the other movie that they beat out. i'm sure la la land will sing about it in a sequel or dance about it. it doesn't matter. some of the other things that happened last night. some of the unthinkable thing o.j. the movie got best documentary at which time during the acceptance speech they ripped law enforcement this is against minority victims of police brutal. i'm saying over and over again they ripped our immigration system. of course, the president was constantly being poked and prodded throughout the night. but this swamped it all. abby: continue with the headline today. these shows remind me of people we're not invited to these sort of events they pat themselves on the back don't we look so beautiful. aren't we so talented? aren't we so wonderful? kant we appreciate ourselves

for a moment. brian: most popular kids in school didn't want to hang out with you now in tuxedos and dresses and still don't want to hang out with you. steve: i will actually confess i watched the first two minutes justin timberlake sang a song, everyone was singing along and that was great and then i couldn't stay. abby: how long did it go? steve: almost 4 hours 12:20. the stock market opening just a couple of hours right from right now following another high close record on friday. dow closing the 11th straight record close. longest winning streak in 25 years. abby: tell that to the mainstream media largely ignoring of the explosive rally or a new poll reveals that 60% of americans are feeling optimistic about our new president. brian: i think 30% of -- excuse me 40% feel we are headed in the right direction with us is stuart and varney. fbn. stuart, optimistic numbers first time in a long time they are more positive than negative. >> how you cannot report this?

how on earth county establishment media just miss out one of the great stories of our lifetime. steve: stuart. >> i know. steve: you know the answer. >> you have seen the most explosive growth in wealth creation in america since the election. in a generation. we have added $3 trillion. 2.939 trillion to be precise to our national wealth. there is optimism on all fronts. and the economy is beginning to show growth. but, looking, this is the sunday "new york times" business section. okay? nowhere, absolutely nowhere in this entire section or on the front page of the "new york times." not mentioned. steve: you know, stuart, if the mainstream media were to run with that story about how people are feeling optimistic that we're at record highs in the stock market, people would then go well maybe this trump thing is working out. which they don't want. >> the media will not report news that is favorable to president trump. now, that's being dishonest. if you are a professional in the media business, you report

the news, period. tell people what's happening. you don't miss a whole chunk out because you don't like it. brian: you know what's interesting, stuart. a lot of times people say fake news i'm reading it and it doesn't seem real. what you don't print is also irresponsible because it actually looks as though you don't tell a story you know is important that's equally as bad. >> dishonesty biomission. that's what it is. abby: he does it say -- how do these numbers stay though you say a lot of this is about people feeling optimistic and hopeful. enough to they are waiting for some real results to follow through, right? >> that is true. the market stays where it is if we get results from president trump and congress about reforming obamacare and getting a tax cut in place and growing the economy. brian: treasury secretary said expect this tax rate adjustment to be released and passed in august. excuse me, is that not soon enough? >> that is a very optimistic schedule. brian: optimistic?

>> yes it is optimistic there is a lot to be done, repeal and repair obamacare that's not going to be done like that. then have you got to get a tax front proposal in front of congress and agreed to and signed. that's optimistic schedule. none the less, the market keeps on going um. by the way, after 11 straight record moving up, 11 straight, you have not seen that in 30 years, it's going to go up a little bit more at the opening bell this morning. nozzle off on a monday morning. abby: healthcare worth waiting to get it right. do it quickly and get it wrong and people's lives are hurt that's worse. steve: this is something we will bring up with the president. we will interview him later today. if you have a question for the president of the united states emails us at foxandfriends.com. we have the exclusive morning show interview. first one with this new president coming up tomorrow throughout the day here on "fox & friends." >> give me a tax cut, mr. president. steve: stuart, thank you very much. >> thank you very much, steve and all. 9 minutes after the hour and

she apparently is now broke. she revealed to the paper she is on food stamps and could soon be jobless. only gets for adult entertainment. exposed as total fraud when local tv crew asked her about her race. do you remember this? >> are you african-american? >> i don't -- i don't understand the question. heather: i don't understand the question. well she still insists she isn't white and those are your headlines. abby: still in the headlines. i can't believe it. brian: like the jesse watters color you popped it. abby: we have something preppy going on mine is too brian a salute to "watters' world." steve: thank you, heather. he is politically incorrect politician who calls it like it is. he is being called the governor version of president trump. main governor paula page is going to join us live next.

steve: well, the president of the united states and the first lady last flight hosted their very first ball of the presidency. and it was the governor's ball and governor paul lepage was in attendance. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: how was it. >> it was great. in fact, right next to the president as he was speaking with the first lady of maine. she is right there. just see her. she -- it was just wonderful. we were -- just amazed. he is so a gracious host. and his wife, just a lovely couple. it was a whole lot of fun. he gave a few words. and terry mcauliff, the governor of virginia gave a few words. it was really, really nice. brian: i heard the governor of virginia was very nice and differential. we hope for a lot of the same things. we wish the president luck. those are sentiments that -- of course we did not see that

we have not even heard about a democrat saying positive things in a long time. >> i know. you know, and it's very clear that if the states succeed the country will succeed. i think everybody recognizes that. abby: yeah. governor, we are all waiting to see what happens with this new executive order on immigration. how is this going to impact the governor because ultimately this is going to fall a lot of it on the states. >> well, i will tell you. i support it very, very strongly. i will tell you why we support it as s. we have recently had a terrorist in our state. and so it's about safety, in my mind. and so we just need to make sure. we all want immigration to continue but we want to make sure that it's done safely. and that's all the issue. i welcome it. i think it's good for the country. abby: what do you want to come out of that order? any specifics? >> you know, i just want people to be vetted properly. steve: yeah, we all do. super vetting. >> that's all we want. we just want to be vetted.

stf. steve: it's security. governor, let's ask you a little bit -- now, tomorrow night the president is going to have his address to the joint session of congress. according to the "new york times," apparently today to all the agencies, they are being requested to make sharp budget cuts across the board, except at the department of defense. so it sounds like we are going to spend a lot more on our military. they are not going to touch social security or medicare. because the president has made it very clear he does not want to do that. what do you think about that as a recipe for success? >> well, i am a little concerned that they are not going to touch medicare. i think what they should be doing with medicare is return the $800 billion that they stole to put into obamacare. and i really do believe that it was stealing from the american people. the american people have been paying in to this program and obamacare went in and took $800 billion out to make his program work. and i just don't think that's appropriate. they should at least return that money.

brian: governor, you probably want to look straight ahead right at us. i know you are looking at the monitor there. now, i understand to your credit, you have a billion dollars in the bank in profit. i mean, that's a heck of a rainy day fund. how did you do that? >> just tough management. tough management. you know, we run it like a business. and we have accountability. and you know, i don't spend a whole lot. i only spend what i need to. abby: were you able to speak to president trump last night at all? did he say anything to you? >> yes. yes. he told me -- we shared a few words on the way in. brian: real quick on obamacare. where do you stand? get rid of it? >> get rid of it. repeal and replace. and, you know, i think block grants to the states, one size does not fit all. every state has their unique dynamics. the state of maine is one the oldest.

the oldest state in the country. and so we need to have our own program that we can design to fit our own stage. brian: best luck with your meeting today: see you soon. >> thank you so much. abby: we'll be right back. with e*trade's powerful trading tools, right at your fingertips, you have access to in-depth analysis, level 2 data, and a team of experienced traders ready to help you if you need it. ♪ ♪ it's like having the power of a trading floor, wherever you are. it's your trade. ♪ ♪ e*trade. ♪ ♪ start trading today at etrade.com

>> i believe that he should be wrestling with boys. because he has the testosterone now there is a significant difference in strength and body weight that actually could be quite dangerous if he is wrestling as a girl. brian: and he -- okay. he -- she wanted to wrestle boys. >> yes, exactly. so i guess he/she realized that right? >> yes, yes. and for me the human tragedy here is i treat people who are transgendered in my office all the time in new york city. i have a private practice. it's one of the most difficult human experiences anybody can go through. this was an opportunity for people to show compassion towards a child. a child who is willing to come out on social media, document his struggles over the last two years. talk about what's going to happen to his body as he takes the testosterone and had a goal and dream to win the state championship. brian: what does show compassion?

>> what does show compassion is that the laws need to change. so he was booed. which is really sad thing to me because it was opportunity to show children and ourselves that we need to have compassion for people who are going through these types of things. it's also important for the public to know this is a very rare case. there is not a huge population of our culture that are transgendered, so, thank god he is fighting through this because it's going to change laws. brian: darby, i don't know actually if you have compassion. do you just go with what the wrestler wants? >> it should defer back to some sort of base and if we look at the laws, if we look at international sports or olympic sport laws, if you are taking a performance enhancer, you are not allowed to compete at that level. and the testosterone should be considered that way. and then we can remove ourselves from the emotional piece where it's a decision about his desire to change identity.

>> the league that was looking at this, which is the overall body, is the -- i believe it's called the university interscholastic league. they are not meeting again until june. what happens is they didn't want to hear the case or he didn't hear the case early to say hey what do we did about the situation his testosterone levels weren't so high that he couldn't compete. brian: maybe that's it. testosterone levels could do it. place in transition. we should handle this or learn from this. nobody want to get hurt. i also feel bad for the wrestlers who say i want to wrestle this decision and now i'm wrestling a kid twice a strong. there is no even answer. thank you so much great to see you. >> thank you so much. brian: meanwhile straight ahead. he just accepted the toughest job in the country. if i canning the valentine'sif s administration.

secondly, we're going to focus on giving veterans more choice because veterans deserve et very best services anywhere. third, we are going to be a very transparent organization. we're going to make sure that we can earn back the trust of our veterans. brian: a lot of people thought wow, what a great idea. put incentives in so we get that capitalist feeling see more patients and have more success stories we will have more money. they lied about the numbers. how ca how are you going to work incentive session in where cantor wasn't anywhere. >> this is about making sure that people understand why the department of veterans affairs is there in the first place. it really is a mission-driven organization to serve those who have served us. and we have to make sure that, number one is that everybody understands those values. brian: right. >> if you don't have those values, you shouldn't be working in the v.a. brian: secretary, real quick, how do you expect to make people accountable when there is a union involved? >> well, the union actually

needs to be a partner with us they have expressed a desire and need to change. but, if the union decides that they're not able to change, we hope to work with them but they don't have the ability to stop us from making the changes that we need to. receive steve sure. i'm sure you're family familiar. you have been in the long enough. there have been unflattering leaks from various spots inside the administration, perhaps the intel community or perhaps the west wing itself. and now there is a story out there that apparently sean spicer was trying to crack down on leaks in his own shop. how big a priority is it with this administration since you are at the cabinet level to make sure that if somebody is going to talk to a reporter it's through the regular channels? >> well, i think all americans understand that in order for us to do the business of the government we have to be able to have trust in the information that we talk about

and that we share with our staff because we're dealing often with sensitive information. i'm going to leave how the white house deals with cflted to the white house. i know in the department of veteran affairs we take our information confidentially and very seriously. abby: you sat down with our own pete hegseth for a one-on-one. we got so many questions. steve: thousands. abby: he used some of those questions. give people a sense of how passionate so many people are about the v.a. and what needs to be done. what was the response from that interview? >> i have to tell you what you have experienced and what pete experienced in getting those questions is what i experienced. americans are passionate about making sure that we fix this system to care for veterans. that's why we saw in congress 100 to zero vote in my confirmation because this is an issue that all americans agree upon. brian: finally, mr. secretary, why are you going to be the person who straighten this out when everyone else had almost the same exact things weren't able to produce?

>> i think sometimes timing is everything. i think the country has been very clear it's time to finally address these issues. it's time to make sure that we are giving back to veterans the type of services that they deserve. and we're going to make sure that happens in this administration. brian: you're convinced the president wants to do. >> i am convinced the president is committed to making this change. steve: well, we are all on your side. abby: secretary shulkin thank you for joining us this morning. good luck. have you a lot to do. heather: we have breaking news we are following. an important story where police need your help. urgent right now manhunt for cold blooded killer. police say that hunt is intensifying at this hour. mississippi officers on alex stephens trail since friday now. is he accused of murdering his girlfriend and just two miles down the road from there investigators believe he shot a jogger. that victim is okay. a third person added to the bloody crime spree 6-year-old woman shot to death outside her church.

theater. and cadillac under fire this morning for driving onto the political highway with the commercial that's now sparking g outrage. watch this. >> we are a nation divided. that's what they tell us, right? this catch between us. but what they don't tell you, what doesn't make the news, is this: we carry each other forward. heather: that ad going to on to say carried people but humanity for a century now. what do you think of that ad. heather: nascar's opening race with a senior victory collect it out. >> from las vegas, the 2004 champion of the series kurt busch. heather: kurt busch winning first daytona 500 kyle larson on the final lap. busch celebrating taking the checkered flag. his win was also the first for

brian all right. quick headlines now. terrifying video shows a float slamming into stands packed with people. rio de janeiro leaving 20 people dead. some seriously. three people driving the float under investigation. 500 head citizens toppled over in another disgusting act of vandalism in a jewish cemetery. philadelphia police are now trying to figure out who did it and why they did it this came less than a week after vandals overturned more than 100 head stones in a jewish cemetery in st. louis. steve? steve: thanks, brian. many progressives took their outrage to twitter following the election this weekend of tom perez as the new dnc chair. rose ann damaro of national nurses united wondered on twitter how many americans

would leave the party due to keith ellison's defeat. true progressives said the dream of a progressive democratic party was fun while it lasted and bernie facts said establishment democrats fight the party harder than they fight president trump. joining us now former staff for bernie sanders figaro, she joins us from houston. nice to see you again, taz. >> thank you. > steve: this past november race and in fact the primary was so personal for you. you were all in for bernie sanders. explain your story. >> and i'm so glad you asked that question that's certainly what's on my heart this morning. for six months as a single mom i traveled on this campaign. every other weekend i was at home either with my 8-year-old daughter or visiting my mom with chemo. she was diagnosed with cancer while i was on this campaign and i actually lost her on this campaign and had to bury her and go back on the trail on next week. there was also mothers that

had mothers of six that i met in philadelphia. there was a gentleman in detroit who lost his brother while he was on this campaign and doesn' couldn't even attende funeral. what i want to say to senator bernie sanders and the entire staff that the help as you -- they see us is upset because at this stage of the game they are no longer willing to listen to what we have to say. i'm an independent. i am fiscal. i am not a socialist and i joined this campaign because i am against the establishment. and i am sorely disappointed in how our leaders have ghafd i. behaved themselves and it's time for them to push the dnc revolt in exit. steve: what kind of a revolt are you talking about? >> for example, yesterday senator sanders was asked on meet the press if he was willing to share information and he talked around the subject. steve: sounded like a no to me. >> exactly was a no. i'm here to say it's a no. we are not going to give you the email list or anything else we have. it's time for the dnc to give something back on our end. we can no longer try to play both sides. representative ellison did

that by trying to pander to one side or the other and he lost. last guys finish last. i want to see senator bernie sanders take his supporters and move on. steve: taz, you look at the dnc. bernie sanders had a good message. obviously you were captivated by it i heard president trump talk about. so things bernie got right regarding trade last week during one of his press statements as well. so it's clearing the dnc had to learn the lessons of november, but it doesn't sound like it. and by putting tom perez in there. donald trump himself tweeted this out the race for dnc chairman was, of course, totally rigged. bernie's guy, like bernie himself, never had a chance. clinton demanded perez. you feel it was rigged, too, don't you? >> i know for a fact it was rigged. i tell people all the time i'm not telling you what i heard. i'm telling you what i know. organizing on this campaign and at least five or six different states we would go to states and elected leaders were threatened with their

career in order to organize with us. they wouldn't allow senator sanders in any of the african-american churches except for a handful. i know any time they want to have that conversation people that actually worked on the campaign trail i'm here to have it. steve: i don't get why would they pick tom perez over keith ellison? >> because it's the establishment. i mean, any time you have 400 plus establishment people pick who they want to be the next leader, guess what the answer is going to be? the establishment. and so to give representative ellison a participation trophy for showing up, you know, was a direct slap in the face. they are not interested in what senator sanders or senator warner who was also absent, nowhere to be found, is interested in as far as moving this party forward. steve: sure, on the republican side it certainly was an antiestablishment race and election where donald trump said he was going to drain the swamp. was it the same on the democrat side and the dnc just doesn't get that? >> i don't even know if it's the dnc. the dnc doesn't get it. i think the people continue to try to change what just can't

be changed. what i comensd the republican side for, the same message antiestablishment but they had the guts and courage to take over. and democrats do not. as long as we have leaders who continue to want to play the games because they don't want to lose their career or staffers like myself who are afraid to speak out because they are looking for the next campaign gig, it will continue to stay the same. you either with us or against us. it's time to make the case very clear. i'm asking the american people to make theirs. steve: she is calling for a revolt because the election over the weekend was rigged. tezlyn figaro are a thank you for joining us from houston. >> thank you for having me. steve: what do you think about that? email us. it's been done for decades opening a town hall meeting with a simple prayer. >> open with prayer, please. >> prayer? [shouting] >> pray in jesus name. [shouting] steve: turns out the people who are trying to save obamacare aren't big fans of prayer. yelling at the pastor, pray on your own time.

a national treasure. have you to see this one to believe it. it was worth the trip across the pond. we are running a second new episode tonight. an incredible story about the most realistic civil war model ships i have ever seen. abby: let's take a look at this. >> before he built a ship, he would study it. he had blueprints from the smithsonian institution. and if they didn't exist, he would draw his own set of blueprints. >> down to the finest detail. >> he was a fanatic about it? >> was your mom applauding his efforts? >> not really. >> when your husband spends that much time in the workshop maybe you are not that excited. abby: amazing you inherit this old warship, right? >> there is about 1,000 of them out there that he doesn't know where they are. museums. he was commissioned to do all the ships. the thing about this young men and we find this a lot with inheritances. he only learns about his father through the inheritance through the time and dedication, the commitment to the military.

got the election wrong. even though it turns out the oscar cast was very anti-donald trump, there were dozens of antitrump jokes and whatnot, people today are talking about how when he was given the card right there a legend of hollywood simply read "la la land," but it turns out it was the wrong card, was the emma stone best actress. and that's all that's being talked about. ainsley: we bring in our oscar expert. brian: tucker carlson. >> tucker, are you there? >> i'm right here. steve: tucker, is this karma or what? >> well, finally something interesting happens at one of these dumb award shows. and it couldn't happen to better people. and you knew it had to happen because moonlight had to win. that's the law. there's no way around that. it's a foregone conclusion. it's not just a good movie,

it's an important movie, it constructs you morally. and that's the purpose of hollywood is not only to entertain but to instruct. >> many of us missed it live. let's take a look. >> for best picture. >> "la la land." [cheers and applause] >> there's a mistake. moonlight, you guys won best picture. >> moonlight won. this is not a joke. >> this is not a joke. i'm afraid they read the wrong thing. >> this is not a joke. moonlight has won best picture. moonlight. best picture. >> this is very unfortunate what happened. personally, i blame steve harvey for this. >> warren, what did you do? >> i opened the envelope, and it said emma stone "la la land." that's why i took such a long

moonlight had to win gun what the film was about. and that's part of the problem with hollywood. tons of really talented people there, brilliant at making movies. brian: right? >> but the second you feel a political imperative, it destroys your art. the second you feel you need to elevate the country, you become polyme pompish; right? brian: i will say this. you are pointing out last year there were a bunch of protests because everyone that was nominated was right. do you think there's an overcomposition this year? >> well, i don't know. i wasn't doing the voting. but i feel hollywood feels the obligation to bring it up to their moral level, which is lofty. they look on the best of the country and say, boy, you're backwards and evil, but we're going to make you better with our films. and, again, whenever politics

invades on art, it makes it garbage. the point was to educate people, and i think they went off the rails when they tried to do that. steve: but for a business model, as the make sense that a four-hour telecast was so anti-donald trump. and it was donald trump until the last ten minutes when it ran off the rails. clearly they had got a point of view. it was way to the left. but still, you want people to like them and go watch the movies, don't you? >> well, sure. a lot of the stuff is garbage anyway. there's nothing good about a lot of the movies. there's amazing renaissance happening that has been for a number of years in television, as you know, scripted television. there's a lot of great stuff that's deeply artistic and challenging and smart and cool. but the movies, their economic model is being really challenged right now. and they're responding by putting out worse stuff, i think. abby: we want to get your thoughts as well on the dnc race. the big race that happened over the weekend. who was going to rebuild the

democratic party? and ultimately it went to the establishment player tom prez. a lot of people including president trump saying this whole thing was rigged. he had barack obama behind him, the clintonitis, what are your thoughts? do you think it's rigged? >> well, it's rigged in some broader sense. sure. not just the democratic party but the democratic party in general is for the better funded candidate. the better funded side. they pay more attention to donors than they do for voters. and perez was the pick for clinton people. ellison was a pick of a lot of the grassroots. but in the end, the money side won. and what they're hoping that common loathing of donald trump will unite the party. they have a serious rift in the middle of that party. brian: they really do. >> and weirdly, and paradoxically, and you do this on fox and friends, i think bernie sanders and the elephant people as far out and socialist they are are somewhat more reasonable

because they believe in something. brian: well, listen, they were quickly to point out the tea party of john boehner and back and forth, you have to understand bernie sanders no has interest in gettin getting along with this new dnc. says the democratic party is in worse shape. worse shape than ever since the 1920s. and it's going to take a huge uprising to turn things around. and donald trump had the best tweet yesterday. congratulations to these tom perez. i could not be happier for him or for the republican party. he sees this as a big win. that was kind of fun. >> yeah. but i actually think if -- it's going to turn out that the democratic party is going to need to be more obstructionist just because they need to keep hatred of trump, you know, front and center because it's the only thing that holds the party together. the paradox is the ellison people and the bernie people are way more likely to have common cause with trump because they're both

sympathetic to populous economics. like, they might actually have something in common with the infrastructure plan, with some of the health care ideas. but the obama and the clinton people, they're just about winning. they just want power. they don't care what it takes. they don't have principles. i don't think it's good news for anybody. steve: well, the dnc when you look at the game plan going into the november election, it was essentially, hey, vote for memory she's not donald trump. and if they're going to continue that, that's a loser. >> well, it's a loser and also tiresome and boring. okay. he's immoral. i'm a good person. fine. what does it have to do with the country? where are your ideas? they don't have any, and they may get along for the next year or sore without having to present ideas because they can make it all about trump. abby: tucker, they were saying yesterday, we had ed klein that said it could only get worse from here because under the surface, you have bernie sanders really motivating

people at the state level to nominate, you know, chairman of the states that could really have an impact nationwide. i don't see this inside the democratic party settling down any time soon. >> no. because, look, a lot of the grassroots of that party are really hostile to wealth and to capitalism. yet the party is run and funded by a very small number of extremely rich people. so the conflict is inherit. the grassroot in that party really hate the people who run it. that's a huge problem over time. abby: and motivated by the vote over the weekend. >> that's exactly right. brian: do you think president obama is going to be fundamentally behind this? he's going to push this, and that would violate the unsaid rules of the presidents club? >> those rules have been violated. and this is another huge problem for the party. as long as obama and the people around him are running it, i mean, how could new leadership emerge? nothing grows in the shade.

so that party will not come to terms with whatever it needs to be until obama goes away, and that may be many years. steve: tucker, we're going down with the president to do the interview, have you made sure the guest bedrooms are clean? >> i changed the sheets last month. steve: oh, good. so we stay at the carlson complex. no more marriott or hyatt for us. >> with my dogs. steve: we'll be watching you tonight 9:00 p.m. eastern. brian: if he changed. abby: let me know. he already has an ego. it can only get worse. he's such a nice guy. >> i think he's going to take us to lunch in his fancy club in dc. i'll take it from here. i have a couple of headlines to bring you right now. the man accused of plowing down dozens of people at the largest mardi gras parade had a blood cell three times the legal limit. hit two cars and then veered

into the crowd nearly 30 people were hurt. the youngest victim a 3-year-old child. the driver sharing this chilling post just hours before the tragedy writing when you have insane driving skills. that guy is now in jail. federal agencies will find out just how much money have to work with in the next year. that will include flushing, clashing funding for the environmental protection agency and then boosting defense funding. the new va secretary joined us earlier on the show saying he's using the money to make sure our heroes finally get the care they deserve. >> we do need the resources to make sure that we can care for america's veterans because we've seen more and more veterans coming to va for care. we need the ability to structure this system and to make the changes that have plagued it for years. >> well, the pentagon also set out a new plan to take down isis today. it includes now sending more troops to iraq and syria and

giving more authority to commanders. more on the details when we get them. and president trump calling on supporters to fire back at liberals who still refuse to accept the results of the election. well, this morning they're answering that call with spirit of america rallies planned in at least 60 cities across more than 30 states. those behind the movement say it's inclusive and nonpartisan expanding an invitation to anyone who wants to help make america great again. steve: i bet we'll see a lot of those caps. meanwhile as the white house tries to plug insider leaks our next guest calls them borderline treason. retired general anthony is live next. abby: and opening a town hall meeting with a prayer. abby: this happened. it turns out the people trying

to save obamacare, they're not just fans of that. we're going to talk to the chaplin and the congress man that were shouted down. straight ahead. before fibromyalgia, i was a doer. i was active. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. she also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you

know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can be more active. ask your doctor about lyrica. this is the story of green mountain coffee and fair trade, told in the time it takes to brew your cup. let's take a trip to la plata, colombia. this is boris calvo. that's pepe. boris doesn't just grow good coffee, boris grows mind-blowing coffee. and because we pay him a fair price, he improves his farm to grow even better coffee and invest in his community, which makes his neighbor, gustavo, happy. that's blanca. yup, pepe and blanca got together. things happen. all this for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee. packed with goodness. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business...

which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet?

brian: all right. as the trump administration hunts for the source of their leaks, white house secretary sean spicer calling into office and check their cell phones for evidence. it's not just within the white house concerns are coming from the intel community, maybe even the pentagon. our next guest calls the leaks borderline treasonist. retired general anthony joins us right now. the former deputy commanding general of u.s. forces in afghanistan and the author of a great new novel called besieged. general, congratulations on the book. >> thank you, brian. brian: in the book, you match domestic terrorism with terrorists. >> right. brian: and it schools too. so this is sadly everything we've been dealing with. >> well, i've spent a lifetime, brian, trying to figure out how the enemy is going to attack my troops, the country, so as a creative fiction author, i do the same

thing, and i look for the vulnerabilities we have. and in besieged, we have a school attack, we have a young autistic writer that gets kidnapped by iranian forces, and she's able to write a code that creates this terrorist attack, so they have to rescue her and prevent that from happening and then go and try to solve the problem on her own, so it's all about vulnerabilities. brian: and here's an excerpt from the book. you write this. misha knew that she had killed her father and done so on purpose after the men in black thought they kidnapped her. technically she guessed she had. but still, she tricked them exactly where she wanted to be. >> yeah, so misha is the autistic, she's a smart, young lady but can't communicate well and in her mind, they see she's a crafty young lady in the hands of these forces. brian: so, general, figuring out the right way in iraq after mosul because taking the city's tough, it's going to be

tougher the day after and in afghanistan after 15 years of war, the afghans are asking for more. >> yeah. brian: and we just had general mattis there. what's the best way forward in afghanistan? >> well, we have general mcnichol son out there who is in charge of all the u.s. forces. he asked for more troops. i think going to have the president trump who wants the relieve rules of engagement, which we're seeing happen right now, and he also wants to ease them a little bit and then we've got, you know, nickelson asking for more troops. and when we get more troops, the key is to train and build capacity. so you have to build capacity, police capacity, military capacity. brian: besieged is the name of the book, isis is in afghanistan, it's not just about the taliban. >> thank you, brian. brian: coming up straight ahead. breaking news right now. president bush 43 weighs in on the first weeks of president trump's administration. lead speechwriter mark weighs in ahead.

abby: and we're back with quick headlines. the top organizer behind next month's women's march is a convicted terrorist. a palestinian woman bombed an israeli supermarket back in 1969 killing two students. she spent ten years in prison and then lied about her past to become a u.s. citizen in 2004. she was convicted of immigration fraud three years ago but is getting a new trial, claiming ptsd caused her to lie. and immigrants and refugees will get a front row seat to

the president's row in congress. senate democrats inviting them. according to the fed, more than 2,000 people from the seven restricted countries have arrived in the u.s. since the judge lifted's immigration order. steve, over to you. steve: thank you very much, abby. town hall fury has swept through the nation but what happened during a prayer at a town hall for louisiana senator bill cassidy took things to a new level. watch this. >> we're going to begin with a prayer -- [screaming] >> we pray in jesus' name -- [screaming] steve: the protesters be the only shouted down the prayer many also caused a commotion during pledge of allegiance. where has common courtesy gone? well, the men who were there join us live right now from new orleans and washington d.c.

good morning to both of you. >> steve. >> hi, steve. steve: this is not unusual to open a public meeting in louisiana with a prayer, is it? >> no. it's done all the time. steve: so why do you think these folks who were in attendance for the senators town hall were so adamant innocent wanting to hear what you had to say? >> well, i think they had an agenda, steve, and, you know, people ask me all the time if i'm mad, kind of sad for my country. but jesus wasbooed all the time and jesus heard people cry crucify him, crucify him and he said father, forgive them. they do not know what i do. and i was not praying a political agenda or religious agenda. i was praying to a real person who says love your enemy. care for the poor. someone who sacrificed all so that all people must have peace with god and peace with each other. and the jesus that i pray to

was one whose weapons are not knives or hatred. it's a blood sting cross and empty tomb, scars on his back, and a bunch of ragtag followers who when they get it right, lead a revolution of love and want to see the world turned upside down. and when people boo that, i think jesus says i'll give you rest for your soul. steve: senator, we've been watching some town halls have been noisy, and losing respect for the speakers, members of congress. but for these protesters to scream to the pastor of the chaplin pray on your own time, that takes it to a whole new level, doesn't >> every congress is opened by prayer, and that has happened since the beginning, the continental congress. i think it does. the other folks there totally

reject anything, even if they frankly probably agree with it. i pointed out that president trump says his goals for replacing obamacare are that everyone is covered without mandates at a lower cost caring for those of preexisting conditions. and people started yelling at that. so how much common ground can you have? so they were there -- not all of them. there were some who disagreed but nonetheless were respectful. but there were enough that were there just to disrupt that whether it was pastor speaking or landon saying the pledge, they were going to protest. steve: well, senator, you know. you've seen them. clearly some on the political left made it very clear go to these republican town halls and make sure you take pictures so that we can put it online or get it on tv. because if you don't have a picture, it didn't happen. so it's all about optics. they just want to try to make you guys look bad. but by yelling at you and the chaplin, pray on your own time, they kind of look bad. >> they look terrible because

those who is that they want tolerance were incredibly intolerant. and those that say they want dialogue, didn't want dialogue. they only wanted to shout. now, i will repeat once more. there were smother who disagreed but nonetheless wanted to listen. there were americans who wanted to exercise first american rights. but also there were some there to make a scene no matter which way they find them. steve: pastor, before we go, final thought from you? >> oh, i think there's a few people that boo civility, but i think all around the country people want respect. people and leaders who work together, people who look for solutions, and people who come together, and i think it's in that name of jesus that walls can get broken down, and we come -- we can come together and really make a difference as people. steve: all right. chaplin. senator. gentlemen, thank you very much for joining us on this monday. meanwhile it's 8:30 here on the east coast. breaking right now.

years, secondly, i think you have to take the man for his word that he wants to unify the country and whether he'll be able to do so. it's hard to unify the country, though, with the news media being so split up. when i was president, you mattered a lot more because there was, like, three of you. and now there's all kinds of information being bombarded out and people can say things anonymously. i consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. that we need an independent media to hold people like me to account. steve: taken for his word, george w. bush says. he was on the today show this morning earlier promoting his brand-new book. brian: yeah, mark joins us now. former book right here for bush 43 and author, among many talents. what's your reaction to president bush out in center again? >> yeah. that doesn't surprise me at all. president bush is the most gracious person i've ever known.

he didn't criticize barack obama for eight years, is and i'm sure he's not going to criticize president trump in his first month. brian: and president trump has not been gracious to 43. >> no. he basically said he accused him of knowing about the 9/11 attacks and not stopping them and lying about the war in iraq and during the entire campaign not once did george w. bush respond or attack him or criticize him and as president, he hasn't done it either. he's a very great man. abby: you heard the media saying they need president trump more of a chance, also saying you don't matter as much anymore about major media. >> that was pretty good. it's true. there are people getting news from a lot different sources and a lot more sources than they did and the they're in a state of hysteria. no matter what happened, they overreact. he called a gaggle a few people together, sean spicer, and all of a sudden it's end

of democracy. so they need to hold trump to account. we have an important role in our democracy but, you know, get a grip. abby: that's exactly what george w. bush said there. steve: loves to talk about the press. that you know, mark. >> sure. steve: meanwhile matt also asked george w about this, it could be wednesday, or thursday, some had referred to it in the press as a muslim ban. asked about that. here's what he said. >> banning people from seven predominantly muslim countries from entering this country, do we make it easier or harder to fight the war on terrorism? >> well, i think it's very hard to fight the war on terrorism if we're in retreat. and i think we learned that lesson that, you know, the united states decides to pull out before a free society emerges, it's going to be hard to defeat them. the enemy is very good about

exploiting weakness. it's going to be very important. if that's the goal to defeat isis, which i believe it should be that we project strength. >> i just want to make sure you understand. you're against the plan? >> i'm for an immigration policy that upholds the law. steve: okay. what do you think about that? >> again, he didn't answer the question directly because he's not going to take a shot at donald trump. but he did take a shot at barack obama. that the reason we're having this problem today is because we followed the policy of retreat for the last eight years, and we pulled our troops out of iraq. he was going to pull them all out of afghanistan and now has troops in 18 countries, affiliates all over the world. the bush administration's policy was fight them there so we don't have to fight them here at home and i think trump administration is going to go back to that.

brian: president bush surged worked. they had an election afterwards. they pulled the troops out responsibly without a deal and now his legacy is tarred because of it. meanwhile president trump will have a joint session congress address. obviously his first one tomorrow. if mark was behind the pen, what would you put in the prompter. >> well, the state of the union address is the most watched speech the president gives and usually the first one is the most watched of the president's term. so barack obama got 52.4 million people his faster address and never reached that again. the amount of people -- donald trump will probably face the largest audience on his entire presidency on tuesday night. so he has an opportunity to really reach out to millions of americans who still trying to figure out what they think of this guy. not just supporters but people who want to give him a chance and want to hear from him. so what i would do is reach out my hand in a spirit of bipartisan immigration and day

them not to take his hand. should go out and offer bipartisan health care, bipartisan cooperation on infrastructure, bipartisan cooperation on helping working mothers. and let them say "no." let them -- if they want to say resist everything, make them resist bipartisan. abby: do you let the media go? >> i think you let that go. you don't do that in the state of the address. positive. he says he wants to make america great again. show us how america will be great again under his presidency. show us his plan and dare the opposition to join him in that effort and if they don't, it's on them. steve: well, you know he can mention the media when he pauses for a moment when paul ryan is behind him clapping, and he sends out a tweet probably mid-tweet. ainsley: mark, good to have you here this morning. >> good to be with us. >> good morning. in the south, police need your help this morning, and that's where we begin right now.

the urgent nationwide manhunt for a cold-blooded killer is now intensifying this hour. police manies on alex's trail since friday now. accused of murdering his girlfriend and then just two miles down the road from there, police believe he shot a jogger. a third person added to the bloody crime spree. a 69-year-old woman who was shot to death outside her church. police urging folks to lock their doors fearing that he could cross state lines. bernie sanders getting revenge on democrats. saying he won't commit to turn over his e-mail list of nearly 3 million supporters to the dnc, a group he has dubbed the establishment house. >> are you going to give your list to the democratic national committee so that you can help them become more grassroots? >> we are going to do everything that we can. to transform the democratic party into a party that stands up for working families.

abby: well, bernie was asked about it again but still dodged that question. and jimmy kimmel under fire this morning for the tourist bus skit that took place during the oscars. tourists were told they were going to see some famous oscar dresses from the past, instead, they were brought into the theater. watch this. >> my name is ulery. >> what? >> what's your name? >> my name is patrick. >> see, that's a name. >> well, the skit had people talking on social media. one said quote i just think it's funny how the oscars is preaching love and tolerance but jimmy kimmel is making fun of people's names. another saying quote this tour bus skit is stupid. hey, look regular people. brian, you loved it. what did you think about it? brian: these people walked in

it was a very real moment besides the scripted show. and saying that's denzel with a. abby: and you're on live tv. brian: i think it was so awesome. we have very few live moments. on live television. >> go ahead, steve. steve: i'm not going to say it. brian: something's coming up. i'll give you a rough idea. steve: don't tell them. abby: you're right. but it's going to be great. steve: okay. tell them. abby: he's been trashed by hollywood and worst picture of the year. so what does hillary's filmmaker think of last night's oscar blunder? we're going to ask him straight ahead. go ahead, brian. brian: you'll give you what supposed to say, but i'm not going to be pushed around. we'll take you on a trip of extreme vetting. it's called ellis island. pete is there, he's going to see if his name is etched into the bench.

brian: the trump administration outraging the left over its extreme vetting and tougher border control. not only over there but over here. abby: yeah, we wanted to know how much harder it was for our ancestors was to get here. steve: when they used to do it legally. pete is about ellis island. >> a long time tradition of america. so we went to ellis island to find out how our ancestors came to america. ♪ >> we're here at ellis island. america's primary immigration gateway for on almost 60 years. from 1892 to 1954. over 12 million immigrants walked through those doors and were processed as they entered america.

we're here to learn about that process and how it compares to the immigration process today. ranger jonathan, how are you? >> right now you've walked into the baggage room. so when immigrants come off the ferry, they come right in here, they've been encouraged to check in their luggage right away. >> after they drop their luggage, where are they going? >> begin the health examination. there would be at least six doctors. >> six doctors. >> right. that would be watching you as you come up and stop at the landing and then make certain turns and different angles. that would provide the doctor with advantage points to really make an assessment of you or -- >> so they're looking for physical health and condition. >> that's right. they would indicate what seemed to be wrong or seemed to have a problem by the chalk marks. >> so chalk marking.

they would come up with chalk. >> literally right on your lapel or maybe hat or some part of your outfit. >> this is effectively where new immigrants meet the bureaucracy and the immigration laws of the united states of america. >> so they're trying to determine whether an individual will be able to work in some fashion, earn money that they are healthy and also determine that they're not likely to become a public charge. those are the main three. >> what does public charge mean? >> public charge means that the government through taxes being paid are somehow going to have to take care of them. >> how many people were turned back on a total basis? >> maybe about 20% that were initially detained for either legal issues or health issues. but out of all of that and all those numbers, only about 2%, 2% are actually excluded or sent back. >> there were several different types of mental tests or exams.

one of them, it's actually literally just a piece of wood that's been sawed into puzzle pieces. >> not clear that i would have been admitted. not clear at all. we're standing at a podium. whether you're an anarchist or whether you're a polygamist or whether you committed a crime. anarchists were a threat, they want to make sure you're not one. >> right. and 1901, president mckinley is fascinated by an anarchist. so by 1903, the question had been added. part of the idea was to perhaps impress upon them the idea of a patriotism to this new country and as the term would develop americanism. >> as millions of immigrants came through, a lot of things changed in the way it was configured. one thing never changed. the presence of huge, beautiful, american flags that greeted every single new immigrant that entered this room. the idea was you may have come

from any corner of the earth, but you're now here in america to be an america. and our expectation that you will work hard, have an allegiance for this country and do everything you can to move your family forward and this country forward. it was the idea that made america a very special place. brian: wow we always had standards. >> yeah. we did. and, in fact, higher standards. work hard. not be dependent on the government. become an america. they would check on are you an anarchist, communist, depending on the threat of the day, but radical islamist, pretty reasonable. steve: yeah, no kidding. brian: great job. i cannot believe i live in new york, and i have not been there. steve: you've never been? brian: i have not been. someone needs to take me. abby: that's the problem. no one wants to take you. he's been trashed worst picture of the year. about is on what does hillary's america filmmaker think about last night's epic oscar blunder? we're going to ask him straight ahead. brian: it must have broken his heart.

abby: well, as the president gets ready to prepare america. what happened in the white house and that investigation between russia and the trump campaign and did sean spicer really order staffers to turn over their phones so that he could check for leaks? plus whose fault is it that repealing and replacing obamacare has not happened yet? plus everything from the oscars. bill and i will have that and much more. we see you at the top of the hour on america's newsroom. steve: did she say oscars? abby: i think she did, and it's no surprise that the academy awards got political this year. >> i want to say thank you to president trump. i mean, remember last year when it seemed like the oscars were racist? >> as a mexican, as a latin

america, as a migrant worker, as a human being, i'm against any form of wall that wants to separate us. >> the aclu has your back, and for the next four years, we will not forget you. steve: we know they don't like filmmakers, his movie hillary's america won four razzies, including worst film of the year. congratulations. >> thank you. we have to work hard for that award. i was very happy as worst actor, and i couldn't be more pleased. steve: wait a minute. you would not want to win an oscar, would you? >> it would be the death nail of my career, quite honestly. i like watching the oscars, but i'm watching from the safe distance of texas. i kind of watch with the attitude of anthropologist who's observing natives when they jump up and down and pray

for rain. i don't ask is it going to rain? i think it's very interesting in what it reflects about them. abby: all right. well, if you did win, and you had to go up on that stage and give a big speech, what would you say? what would your speech be? >> well, if i won an oscar, i would have to apologize for being in that company because it's such a collection of well-dressed hypocrites. and, you know, we think of their original meaning of hypocrite, it's someone who pretends to be something they're not. in other words, an actor. so here you've got all of these guys who are surrounded by big walls talking about taking down the walls, but let's see if they take down the fences they live behind. brian: yeah, they talked about immigration, the iranians, everything that donald trump's trying to do, they tried to disassemble. but congratulations on not winning anything. i hope you never win anything again. steve: won the razzies. abby: well done, sir. great to have you here. >> thank you. brian: back in a moment.

why are you checking your credit score? you don't want to ride the 13l forever, do you? the doctor said it's not contagious. [coughing] credit karma, huh? yeah, it's free. credit karma. give yourself some credit. what twisted ankle?ask what muscle strain? advil makes pain a distant memory nothing works faster stronger or longer what pain? advil. >> we're getting ready to go

down to our nation's capital tomorrow. an exclusive interview with president donald trump. brian just got out his metro pass. >> bill: good joe and good morning everybody. fox news alert. the ultimate blunder in front of millions. likely the biggest mistake in oscar history as the biggest award of the night went to the wrong movie. >> for best picture, ""la la land". >> there's a mistake. "moonlight," you guys won best picture. this is not a joke. this is not a joke. i'm afraid they read the wrong thing. this is not a joke, "moonlight" has won best picture.
