train. i wouldn't have chosen this. one of the super bowls they were playing outside of my window and i had to get up early. steve: super bowl. if people don't have loud music throughout the entire fest it's not the super bowl. brian: the thing is i have to get up early. ainsley: brian is complaining because he had to go to the super bowl and the loud music kept you up. brian: i'm not speaking to train or the who. ainsley: they are really offended. steve: it was a year ago this week we were at the republican convention in cleveland and we stayed at a beautiful hotel. it was called the aloft. still is called the aloft down in the flats area. on one side of the building there was a party that went until 3:00 every morning. brian: right. ainsley: we heard about it, and you heard about it. steve: i heard it from my room. brian: the problem is they make us valet the car. guess who went -- steve: you had to park your own car. brian: there is no place to park they would take your car when you pulled up. guess who also went to that party. the valet guy guy.

so we got up at 2 a.m. in the morning to go to our event we could not get our car we had to take a cab. ainsley: you went a little later than i did. it takes me long allot longer to get worry. brian and i are waiting on the valet guy to bring the rental car around and we couldn't find him. we found him at the bar at the motel. anyway. steve: do you know what i did? i actually walked. it was only a mile. anyway, thank you very much for joining us on this very busy wednesday. ainsley: president trump is pushing forward in his fight to repeal obamacare. brian: the president setting up a luncheon with republican senators today. everybody is invited, expect 52 to show. steve: griff jenkins is not invited. he though is reporting on the event that happens today at noon 30, right, griff? >> that's right. good morning, steven steve, ainsley and brian. the repeal 86 replacement define as president trump says it's time to let obamacare

fail. >> for seven years i have been hearing repeal and place from congress. i have been hearing it loud and strong. when we finally get a chance to repeal and replace, they don't take advantage of it that's disappointing. let obamacare fail. it will be a lot easier. we are probably in that position where we will just let obamacare fail. we're not going to own it i'm not going to own you. i can tell you the republicans are not going to own it we will let obamacare fail and then the democrats are going to come to us and say how do we fix it? how do we fix it? >> the fix appears to be for right now to resurrect a repeal only house bill from 2015 that president obama vetoed and not wasting any time, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell announced they will proceed to vote on it as early as next week. >> at the request of the president and the vice president, and after consulting with our members, we'll have the vote on the motion to proceed to the obamacare repeal bill early next week.

>> but, guys, here we go again, already four g.o.p. senators oare opposing the repeal effort. susan collins, lisa murkowski, shelley moore can a pit toe and rob portman no. democrat is supporting it the past four is proving more difficult. see what the lunch brings other than a few cases of, perhaps, end guess. steve: have you got to feel for donald trump. because it was on the day after the election. he figures, okay, i have got the white house and i have got republican majorities in the house and the senate. we can get stuff done. turns out the president at that point president-elect probably believed that all those republicans who two years ago voted to repeal and replace, if given the chance, would do it again. that is not the case. of the four republican senators that griff just showed us, three of them voted for repeal and replace. this exact bill in 2015. susan collins did not.

and yet, you have got can a pit toe and murkowski and apparently portman. they voted for it three years ago and now they have changed their mind. ainsley: president ran on repeal and replace. that's what the american people said they wanted and these senators are preventing it from happening brain brian this thing fails. let's go back and repeal the best we can with some of the rules staying in place because you only have 52 votes. that turns out that bill is not going to go forward because they will not have enough votes to proceed. so, when the president says let's just have a clean repeal and senator rand paul says let's have a clean repeal. and mitch mcconnell says we're going to have it next week, no, it's dead on arrival. these four are not going to do it. three of which said they would in the past. now, the danger politically is if you just repeal and wait two years to replace, when you

get around to it, that allows two years of body blows, political body blows and also if you could not get a deal after seven years, what makes you think after two years republicans are going to agree on anything. steve: here's the thing. there is a possibility that these four republicans who are apparently, according to what we have heard saying no to just the motion to proceed, the procedural thing there is a possibility they will change their minds again. and that is one of the reasons why the president has invited them all up to the white house today plus you have got to figure a lot of people who live in their districts are going to pick up the phone today and call those four people and say are you kidding you told us you were going to repeal and replace. what are you now a rino, republican in name only? jim jordan the great state of ohio, the same as rob portman says it's important to get these people to vote on the record. >> it never hurts to do what you said, right? we told the american people we are going to repeal it let's pass the same thing we passed in 2015.

it's a very different animal when you actually call the vote up. i always tell people if you never kick the ball up and play the game, you are never actually going to know who wins. sometimes the convince no wisdom doesn't hold true. they might say they are going to vote against it call it up the house and the senate. are you really going to voted different than you did 15, 16, 17 months ago. are you really going to do something different than you told the american people you were going to do the last six years. this was a central issue where we promised them repeal. let's call them up and see what happens when it's the "roll call" and they are out there on the senate of the house casting the vote. ainsley: these moderate republican senators who are voting against, this they are starting to look more and more like the democratic party. they are siding with the democrats here. and many people are accusing them of preventing the president from having success in this administration. brian: joe manchin said i want republican governors and democrat governors now senators to see if there is a bipartisan way forward. if you look at the bill, the biggest criticisms of this

bill are the fact is that they lee a lot of obamacare in place. and you wonder if that would have been some of the compromise if they had hashed it out nose to nose. rush limbaugh was speculating yesterday on what went wrong, and he believes republicans and democrats on some level are fighting against one man, the president. >> there is no way that this establishment was going to permit an outsider to come in and clean house and show how washington can work and blow their cover for the last how many decades. they were not going to make it easy for trump. it has never been about trump unifying the republican party in order to beat the democrats. that's been the ms. stake. that's not the fight here. the fight is not republican versus democrat. the fight is donald trump and his cadre and you, the trump base, versus the washington establishment. it has always been that. and nothing more. in the mess of a silent coo. these people are trying to take this president out.

and everybody understands that. steve: people need to understand any republican who votes against the motion to proceed and mitch mcconnell is going to hold it next week probably on tuesday is voting to keep the affordable care act, obamacare as it is. because this is the end of the road. the republican former republican governors can get together, but nothing is going to happen. ainsley: yeah. steve: as the president made it very clear yesterday, it's blowing up on its own. let's go ahead and let it because he doesn't want to own it. ainsley: i'm washing my hands of it let's let this thing fail. the democrats are laughing now. brian: democrats should laugh for four seconds. they will turn around and realize they're responsible for the monstrosity sitting behind them called obamacare that caused them to lose literally a thousand elections from the local to the governorships to the house to the senate. congratulations, you keep gte to keep obamacare. i give the president a lot of credit one thing. you know he is seething on the inside. on the outside he is not criticizing his republican colleagues. he is doing it perhaps behind closed doors.

steve: he would still like them to vote there is a still a chance some of these people who changed their mind before may change their mind now. brian: tax reform. ainsley: senator schumer says they need to work with democrats that work on premiums provide long-term stability to the market. republicans argued wasn't that what was obamacare was supposed to do? brian: it didn't. steve: time for mitch mcconnell to go our next guest says. first headline time with jillian. jillian: good morning, midweek, making it through the week so far. let's begin with this right now. we are learning fireworks may have startled a minnesota police officer just before he fatally shot justine day monday. officers referencing the loud noise in this dispatch audio moments after the shooting. > >> heard shots from the east. weird shots from the station those are probably fireworks. jillian: australian bride to be called police for possible

intent to let it all die on the vine while blaming conservatives. it's time for the senate republicans to replace mitch mcconnell. so is it really time to ditch mitch? let's talk to the author of that op-ed author of the insurgent. >> eric: son who joins us from georgia. eric, why is it time to ditch mitch? >> he doesn't seem to be down with the president's agenda. where's the wall? where's tax reform? where is obamacare repeal? these go to the senate and suddenly die. isn't like there are the votes in the senate to get them passed. we can't blame filibuster for this because the way they structured obamacare repeal you only needed 50 votes plus the vice president. they can't even get that with mitch mcconnell who is telling liberals in the senate one thing liberal republicans one thing and conservative republicans one thing else. when they get in the room they have been told completely different things. steve: i just read about that. that is troubling if is he telling people in his own caucus two different stories. last week look at what mitch

mcconnell did to try to get lisa murkowski the senator from alaska on board with plan b. he pretty much backed up the brinks truck. but she wouldn't bite. >> right. well, you know, he is no harry reid when it comes to buying off senators which i guess to some degree is commendable. you do have liberal republicans in the senate who have been lying to their voters for years saying they wanted to re peel obamacare. the problem is mitch mcconnell doesn't wan expose these peoples liars because he thinks he needs them to cling to power. unfortunately they will bring down the whole republican caucus. steve: mitch mcconnell said there were people in congress who want donald trump to fail. do you think that's true? >> oh, absolutely. rush is right as always. these guys don't want the border wall. though they say they do. they won't even fund it they don't want tax reform. though they say they do. they can't even pass a committee in the house. they don't want apparently a lot of the president's nominees because they have been stuck in the senate for months. they don't actually want to

row peel obamacare despite campaigning on it. steve: you know, we are looking to this motion to proceed next week which is a procedural thing. if mitch mcconnell could get the requisite number, they would have a vote. do you think there is any possibility, for instance, these four who have -- republicans who have said nah, we don't think we are going to vote for that do you think there is any way anybody can get them to change their mind between now and vote time? >> probably only the president can do it at this point. it doesn't look like mitch mcconnell is going to do it. break down of trust between the republicans and the leader. steve: let's see. is he going to have lurch with them today. if anybody can do it, it could be donald trump. then we heard that about mitch mcconnell. >> right. steve: erick erickson joins us today from georgia. thank you very much. >> thanks so much. steve: what do you think about that email us at i friends@foxnews.com. one terrorist tries to using your tax dollars. how did that work out? we will tell you. college sweet hearts and

wrote that op-ed is bill mcgurn main street columnist for the "wall street journal." good to see you. >> good to see, ainsley. ainsley: why did you write this op-ed. >> in looking at this case it seems just told no. these parents are up against the whole machinery of the state, british national healthcare and so forth. saying that they don't have a right to make this decision. i don't have a problem with removing the child from the ventilator and letting nature take its course but i think that's the parents' decision. and the presumption. we can all think of cases where the parents might be overridden, right? but the presumption should be for the parents. and the irony is that the court documents themselves it would be hard to find more devoted parents than these two. and, yet, we have the court appointing a guardian to argue

against the parents in court. it's quite sinister. ainsley: is this what a single pair system looks like? >> single pair is single authority and very jealous of that authority. seems unseemly number of experts are personally invested in insisting that this child stay in this hospital and die there. not even allow them to take the child home. ainsley: raised $1.7 million. so they have the money now to take the child and put the child in a private hospital. but the public hospital is not even allowing that to happen? >> it's interesting. because the court decision says this was not about money. you can get if they hadn't raised the money they would be raising the cost. cost is a factor. in this case they removed it from the table. what these parents are up against is just extraordinary. it's their love that disqualifies them from speaking for their child according to the courts. ainsley: judge says you have

to show evidence that your child could survive if the child gets treated in the u.s. or italy. is that going to happen? >> i don't think so. i think what you see now already the doctor has examined the child. he has talked to. so british doctors. what you see now leaking out they are basically going to say, i think, we see nothing to change our minds and so forth. it's just an extraordinary situation that these poor people find -- again, i don't have a problem with what the hospital wants. i just have a problem with the hospital forcing it over to loving parents. ainsley: in america we can make these decisions. >> darn right. ainsley: these parents their lives will never be the same. for the hospital to tell them the fate of their child. >> right. ainsley: and make that decision for them it's even going to be worse. >> the lawyer for the child arguing in court has connections to the euthanasia society is just extraordinary. ainsley: thank you so much. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: first he took a shot at the president and snoop dogg sparking outrage once again. this time posting video

police are ou our our first line of defense. it's necessary we coalesce behind law enforcement and support them in situations like this. it's terrible. we had an officer that was assaulted. and a civilian that stepped in to assist him which i commend that individual for. brian: there was video put out, too. of him mocking the assassination of president trump. obviously he is trying to tap back into an audience. my theory is that maybe he got blow back from his customers people supported him most inner cities for saying what he said and now trying to establish his street cred. >> that could be possibility. however, in the grand scheme of things we as individuals, especially someone like snoop dogg should use this as a teachable moment so people can coalesce behind law enforcement to ensure that we have a safe and tranquil society. and apparently he failed at that. brian: here's the thing. the same people that are being told don't study in school, it's not cool. don't go to school, don't look

like you are engaged many times are the people that are supporting him. >> well, true. he does have a disenfranchised population that backs him. but once again, this can be a watershed moment for the hip hop community to have a super star such as snoop dogg represent law enforcement in a positive way. and i think in the long run it works better for all of us. and i think he has failed at that. brian: he has. i have met him about four or five times. could not be a nicer guy. is he one of these guys that broke out. is a success story. he started his own football league is he a great football coach and does a lot of positive things but unfortunately those two decisions i think undoes a lot of it. dr. darren porcher thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. brian: we still have a huge show. corey lewandowski weighs in where the president goes from here on healthcare plan. herman cain speaking out on conservatives and chris cobach talks about push to reform our

right now let's dial in the former campaign manager for donald trump corey lewandowski down in our nation's capital. corey, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: there is going to be a lunch at the white house at noon 30. is he going to make sur he is go make sure that he did can get as many as possible to vote on the repeal bill next week. what are you hearing about this? >> i know the president is a great dealmaker and we were very, very close on this piece of legislation. there are a couple tweaks that need to happen to bring senator mike lee from utah on board. look, it's been publicly reported that there are probably two republican u.s. senators who aren't going to support the bill. rand paul from kentucky and sue collins from maine. you don't necessarily need them if you get everybody else and you put mike pence in the chair and he breaks the tie. i think this bill is going to get done. the president is probably going to close the deal today. if that's the case, this bill moves forward. brian: wow, what is your source on that? is that a gut feeling or

source feeling? >> my source is i know the president i know is he a great dealmaker. is he going to do whatever it takes to get this done. mike lee is someone who wants to support the president on this piece of legislation. i know that other members of the republican senate caucus want to support the president on this. look, this is something that the american people have been fighting for. and the u.s. senate has talked about for seven years. it's now time for action. the president is going to get this bill done. he has campaigned on it it's time to move forward. ainsley: corey, what in the recalled would. why these four republican senators, they voted three out of four voted in 2015 to repeal. now they are saying no. we're not going to vote on that very same bill that we voted on two years ago. we're going to vote against it. what -- i mean, the american people -- first they were frustrated now they are getting mad. what is happening? are they closet democrats these republicans? are they on a mission to make sure that the president doesn't succeed? >> no. do you know what i think it is? i think whether it's jerry more ran or mike lee or rand

paul or susan collins, you know what they have all said? they want to see specific things in the bill that aren't there yet but it's getting very close. you have to remember this is a bill going to deal with the opiate problem which is huge in the state of new hampshire and huge in a number of states. we have rob portman, the senator from ohio who is now going to support the piece of legislation because we are going to put money into that bill to make sure that people in his state who have a drug problem are taken care of. i think, at the end of the day, these u.s. senators are going to come on board, they are going to support the president's agenda because the right thing to do for the american people. steve: corey, what you are saying is the two nos at this point are rand paul and susan collins. that list we have been putting up susan collins murkowski, capito and portman those are four nos, we think. you are saying those three of the four could be yeses. brian: jerry mor morn. >> i think they want to get to a yes and want to help the president's jand. they also have to fight for

the people in their state who have this terrible addiction to opiates. we have seen this in my state of new hampshire and the state of ohio and the state of west virginia making sure we are taking care of people is a big part of this legislation. i any the president wants to do that. he has talked about it a lot. it's a serious problem. if we can put resources into the bill to take care of those people so their states are taken care of and people with terrible drug problems are taken care of, i'm sure the president wants to do this to get this bill done. brian: he only has so much control. i think senator moran and senator lee did not inform the president they were doing this or their leadership. he was at a dinner with seven of them and it turns out the whole thing fell apart when i will they were finishing their dinner in the white house. there seems to be unwe wouldiness on the other side democrats had 60 votes, 60 senators they all got behind president obama. they paid a brutal price. the number is about 1,000 election losses since they past passed obamacare. do you think republicans say wow, i don't love this legislation and i don't want to suffer the same fate?

>> look, brian, as you know, it's very important, the president has campaigned on, this and don't forget the house and the senate for seven years, when they were in the minority and didn't have a majority. brian: i hear you. >> with the president there they passed bill after bill after bill knowing it wouldn't move forward. this is their opportunity. have you a president now campaigned on this. he has put his political stake into this. he wants to get this done. his leadership team wants to get this done. they are going to find a way. brian: corey, some people like charles krauthammer last night said man, barack obama had 36 national addresses before obamacare was passed. this president should have con something like that. what do you feel about this. >> i think the president and his team are working hard to get this done. here is what he said. if they can't get this bill done, you will see what will happen when obamacare collapses. premiums will continue to go through the roof. he won't own this, this with obamacare's signature legs in the state of arizona, many, many states premiums are up over 100 percent. people are losing their

healthcare. lock, let's incross the amount of money that people can put into hsas, make some minor modifications so we can get this bill done. this is important for the american people. ainsley: let's talk about the president, one of his latest tweets about fake news. so we saw at the g-20 summit angela merkel invited the leaders of 20 different countries to have a dinner. we remember the video of melania sitting next to vladimir putin and talking with the interpreter in between them. the mainstream media is trying to say now that that was a separate meeting that the president, our president had a separate meeting with vladimir putin that lasted an hour. and they are saying it took place at that dinner. our president is tweeting saying fake news story. a secret dinner with putin is sick. all g-20 leaders and were invited. press new. fake news is becoming more dishonest. even a dinner arranged for top 20 in germany is made to look sinister. what's your reaction? >> 40 people at that dinner. obviously the g-20 leaders and their spouses. our best representative, who

is stunningly beautiful and incredibly intelligent sat next to vladimir putin at the request of the german chancellor. she had a conversation with vladimir putin. it was her dinner partner for a few hours. big deal. and do you know what the president did? our president? he got up and he walked over and he saw his beautiful wife, the first lady of the united states and he had a conversation with her. how was this anything other than the president of the united states going over and seeing the first lady who, by the way, speaks five languages, is incredibly beautiful and incredibly intelligent and is a great representative of our country. steve: here's the thing, corey, as you know, this is the mainstream media's opportunity to connect russia, russia, russia. with the president to make it look like there was some subterfuge or something else going on at that particular dinner. >> there is nothing there. the president wasn't even seated near her and there were 40 people. the president, if he drives in the car for 35 seconds, you know, there is a giant press pool behind him.

all of a sudden it's a secret meeting? there is nothing secret about this. there were literally hundreds and hundreds of cameras when the president spoke to vladimir putin. we saw the replay a thousand times probably of the handshake. and then he is seated at the dinner with 39 other people. putin son the other side next to the first lady of the united states. all of a sudden a secret meeting? nothing secret when there are 40 people at the dinner. ainsley: what do you think she thought i'm sitting next to vladimir putin the media is going to have hay day. it wasn't her decision. you said angela merkel put them next to each other. >> the president and the first lady were guests of the g-20. guests of germany. so i'm sure they had nothing to do with the seating chart. what i do know is, this is the first lady is incredibly intelligent. she speaks five, six, seven languages. if she had a conversation with vladimir putin as a person who represents the united states, that is a benefit. let's find ways, again, let's find ways we can work together. if that means we can work with

russia to defeat isis then fine, let's do that the president said it a hundred times i don't understand why i have enemies all around the world, let's make friends for a change. brian: president is going to ohio and have a rally. do you think if had his druthers he would pivot to tax reform right know being that so much of this is out of his hands? >> tax reform is a very, very important component of the president's agenda. i think what you will see, hopefully, is three big components. you will see the repatriotation of money coming back oversees a huge post to the economy. you will see the increase in deductions from middle class and working families so they can have more deductions. you will see the simplifying of the tax burden, the tax code. look, if that happens, i love when the president is on the road, personally. i don't know if the staff loves it but i do. i think he is the very best when he is on the road talking directly to the american people. ohio has been a great state for the president. i love when he goes to the american people. steve: great television.

i'm sure we will have it here on fox. corey, thank you for joining us live. brian: corey thinks healthcare lives. steve: absolutely. that makes sense. it sounds like the vote is going to be on monday to proceed it sounds like if it does pass in the senate, then the president will go out to ohio and it will be a victory lap. ainsley: brian just wants us to say you are right. brian has said this in the past. right, jillian? brian is like all right i'm right again. brian: you think it's all about me. jillian: it is all about brian. don't you know that? jillian: good morning to you guys. later today, president trump's verdict fraud commission will hold its first public meeting. the bipartisan panel led by vice president mike pence is under fire after most states, at least partially refused to hand over voting data. the panel is hoping to pinpoint any potential flaws that may have led to voter fraud during the 2016 election. kris kobach the vice chair of the presidential chair on election inkeg gri a integrity n

crisis why not allowing his deputies to carry narcan which is a prescription drug typically administered to people who have overdosed. why is that? joining us right now is butler county sheriff richard jones. he joins us from cincinnati. sheriff, good morning to you. >> hey, how are you doing this morning? steve: doing okay. explain why -- i understand in ohio governor kasich has allowed every county, every life squad to figure out on their own basis whether or not their first responders should carry narcan which they administer to people who have od. why don't you want your deputies to have any? >> that's pretty simple. we're dispatched about the same time the life squad and fire people are. i feel it's dangerous when my law enforcement people get there. we're down on our knees. we're administering the spray into the nose. these people don't want us there. they are trying to hide their drugs before we get there. then when they come to, they

come out of their high, they are very angry, they wonder what we're doing in their house. what we're doing here. get out of their house. a lot of time they get into the life squad. we have to have a police officer ride with them. it's dangerous for the officer. so we don't administer narcan and nor will i, period. steve: so you just say it's a personal safety issue for your first responders and the sheriff's department. you are okay though with, for instance, the paramedics who are going to show up in the ambulance. it's fine with you that they administer it? >> that's their call. basically here in the heart land, we're all tired. we're fed up. in a recent area or close area to proximity to where we are at there was a person in a fuel truck or and he passed out and he was using needles shooting heroin. it happens every day all over the country. it happens here. we had one of our fire trucks on the way to an overdose. they crashed. they can't get on time to a call of somebody that's actually injured because of the people that are using this heroin and shooting up.

and sometimes they have to shoot them up with the narcan 8, 10, 20 times. it's totally out of control. it's bankrupting the heartland. and we're stuck. our government is so focused on the last election, they don't really -- the people in our community, we don't really care who won the last election. that's over. help us in the heartland with this drug addiction. it's very important to us. steve: well, they are talking about adding more money for opioids with the very latest and it sounds like the last affordable care act repeal and replacement issue. sheriff, before you go, what do people need to know about the opioid crisis that you see every day and the average person who is living where they are living just doesn't have any idea what's going on? >> here's what we got. in my jail alone, i have had three babies born in the last 18 months. the last one was born in the toilet. and this is just my jail. the jails and prisons all over the country, children services all over the country are exploding.

we have got people that are shooting these drugs. if you don't know or have somebody that's cooking these drugs, i don't know of anybody that doesn't know or have somebody in their family that's addicted. and it's totally out of control. people are dying every day. and narcan is not the answer. the answer is the root cause and we need to stop this. and we need help. and our government is not helping us at all. period. steve: nobody would know better than you. sheriff, thank you very much for joining us today and good luck with the fight. >> hey, thanks. steve: you bet. so what do you think about that? lead us know friends@foxnews.com. still ahead a chick-fil-a worker comes to the rescue and saves his co-workers' levee. the incredible scene yep, caught on camera. there it is right there. democrats are excited after the obamacare repeal failure for it looks like but should they be celebrating when americans are suffering? herman cain. look who is here. he is coming up next. ♪ going to rock the boat

>> for seven years i have been hearing repeal and replace from congress. i have been hearing it loud and strong. when we finally get a chance to repeal and replace, they don't take advantage of it, so that's disappointing. let obamacare fail. it will be a lot easier. and i think we're probably in that position where we will just let obamacare fail. we're not going to own it i'm not going to own it i can tell you the republicans are not going to own it we'll let obamacare fail and then the democrats are going to come to us and they are going to say how do we fix it? how do we fix it? i'm sitting in the oval office right next door pen in hand, waiting to sign something. and i will be waiting. and eventually we're going to get something done, and it's going to be very good. >> steve: he's got the pen.

he is ready to sign something. the big question is on monday will enough republicans vote to proceed and we hear the vote is then and if they get 51, next thing you know they are going to vote on the repeal. brian: first got to get okay to see if they can vote on repeal. joining us now is herman cain 2012 presidential candidate. herman, what do you think the president was thinking when he made those statements. very measured yesterday did not fire off and attack any republicans. you know in his heart he feels as though he is let down by these guys. mislead, too. >> he has been mislead and let down. remember, he gave this reconciliation approach a chance. he said all along, maybe we should just let it fail it did. so now we go to plan b. he says let it fail and then we are going to go from there. i know we have four holdouts who said they are not going to vote the same way they voted a couple of years ago. well, the american people aren't as stupid as they used to be.

because i know a senator in louisiana, mary landrieu who went back on her word against what she told her constituency and she got defeated because shows like, this brown's radio show. my radio show reminding people that they have lied to their constituents. so, if these four senators, and we know who they are. steve: we just put their pictures up. >> if they go back on what they did before and kill this i think they will have to pay a heavy are price. steve: season collins did not row peel and replace. for the folks who voted for shelley moore capito just a couple years ago, you know, she ran on it we're going to repeal and replace the first chance we get. now they have a chance, what are people supposed to believe? >> well, they are to believe what they actually do. and if they follow through, with not voting to support it when they voted for it before, i think they are going to pay a price. because the american people, their memories aren't as short

as they used to be. i was telling you earlier about a new initiative i have. pay attention citizens that you can find at herman cain.com. that will allow us to let people know when their senator or their representative is going back on their word. remember, when the house version passed? 20 republicans didn't vote for it. they are on my rino list. now we have got four senators. if they vote against it, they will also be on my rino list. steve: in the commercial break, herman, you said the key is for people watching today and listening to the radio shows like yours and brian is to call the u.s. capitol today and call those people particularly if you are in their district or their state. >> because they will go back on their word if they don't think that their constituency is paying attention. so, steve is absolutely right, folks. if you live in one of those states, call the capitol switch board, ask for their office. you may talk to a person. you may leave a message. but let them know that you are

paying attention. steve: they are counting the calls. >> they are counting the culls, trust me. i had a representative tell me one time if they get 100 calls, they pay attention. that's what they're waiting to see. ainsley: mr. kaine, i was reading an article today in investors business daily a lot of these democrats are celebrating the failure of republicans right now. but one way or another obamacare is going to fail. they list reasons why. center for medicare and medicaid services says insurance companies are applying to take part next year. that's down 38 percent with. 40 counts in atlanta ohio having zero in the exchanges. 2.4 million enrollees in 40% of the nation's counties had just have one insurance company. so no choice for them. and 18% increase in policeman ps for the silver plan in 8 different states. you can argue republicans can be mad. americans could be frustrated with these folks voting against it. but are they smart because then, according to these statistics obamacare is going to fail on its own.

>> it's going to fail on its own. let me add one more statistic to your list when is exactly right. senator david perdue shared this with me. nearly 8 million people, 8 million declined obamacare in 2014. brian: took the fine. >> the penalty. 50% of those people make $50,000 or less. that's why it's failing. the insurance companies that wee betting that the mandate would give them windfall customers. it didn't work. the american people said even though legally you can tell me i have got to buy this and it's got to have this in it? they said no we're not going to do it. when the deductible is so high that they effectively did not have insurance. i had a lady call my show one day and said i'm going to take my chances, save my money and pay my healthcare out of pocket. brian: going up every year. in the beginning it seems negligible and no big deal but it gets worse. >> democrats spiking the football they are spiking mostly people who have no

health insurance. people work for companies 80% are covered. then people on medicaid. then you get down to the people who are in the individual market. brian: 8%. >> they aren't going to be able to afford it the people hurt the most are the ones that have no insurance. brian: this is failed, struggling on a respirator. if you want to do tax reform and get it through, being that everyone has their own opinions and objectives, what's the correct way to start it off? do you get democrats involved early? does ways and means release it? do they work it through the normal committee process? >> work through the normal process but i wouldn't count on democrats getting on board. they are determined to resist, resist, resist. slow down this president. they aren't interested in this president having a success. so i wouldn't count on that. i would put it out there so the american people can see what it is. here is going to be the key. the key is going to be the simpler they can make it, where the american people understand it, the better chance it will pass.

steve: are you suggesting something like 999. >> that's an alternative but i'm not suggesting that. [laughter] >> keep it simple. see, donald trump won because he went to the american people. he will get tax reform and simplification passed if it's simple enough for the american people to understand and they are talking about it. brian: what's at stake? the committee. if this tax reform goes through first time in 25 years, whatever it is, the economy gets going, and that's what people would be thinking about in 2018. if it fails, it's going to be ugly for republicans in the midterm. >> i don't think the tax simplyification and tax cuts is going to i will fall. i don't. i believe the american people are engaged enough with their own being finances. they know they are paying too much in taxes and too complicated. i believe he is going to get that across the finish line. memo of congress that would go against that, whatever it is, they would be stupid. [laughter] because some of us are going to go rino hunting in 2018.

brian: thank you very much. herman cain, good to see you. ainsley: thank you, herman. brian: jillian, tell us something important. jillian: you guys have a case of the giggles over there by the way. allen dershowitz a staunch democrat says the "new york times" refused to run his op-ed because of his views omp president trump. the harvard law professor says he didn't have the, quote, right point of view on how the president likely didn't obstruct justice by firing former fbi director james comey. dershowitz says, quote: i really do think the "new york times" does not want its readers to hear an alternative point of view on the issue of whether or not the trump administration is committing crimes. a chick-fil-a worker jumps in to action to save a life. is he using the heimlich maneuver after the man started choking at colorado restaurant. it only took a few seconds before he started breathing again. is he being hailed a hero. his boss bought him a chicken

next time. they meet for the very first time today. here to give us a preview of that meeting and some of the turbulence they have already received is the vice chair of that committee kris kobach who might be one of the premier experts who had a chief concern about voter fraud in this country. that's why you are arguably in the perfect spot. chris, first off, big push back from many states about making their ballots public to see who should be and shouldn't be vetting. why? >> the push back wasn't about ballots. it was actually about the voter rolls. already publicly available. the commission asked can we have the publicly available voter rolls that any person who walks in off the street can have. the reason you need that is so you can start somewhere when you are looking at things like, perhaps, deceased people on the voter rolls, noncitizens on the voter rolls. things like that. fortunately, there was one case where they were trying to stop our meeting today from even occurring and the judge correctly ruled against the aclu and other organizations that were trying to stop us.

but, yeah, we have got to have this information just to continue. again, to reassure people that it's all publicly available. on any given day during campaign season there are 100 campaigns in each state. brian: does it makees it easier for you, chris, since it's available. >> say, for example, someone alleges before the commission that 100 people committed voter fraud in this county and this state. the first place you begin to see if that's true to see if those people are actually registered voters and if they did vote in that state. brian: they said oh the president is just spouting off when he said about the popular vote and a lot of people voted for hillary. no i'm not i'm going to put the vice president in charge and the vice president commissioned this commission. as you move forward, now you are getting this tremendous push back. the same people that are so upset about what the russians did about the integrity of our election are now upset that we might be looking into what states are doing in terms of who is voting in our election. what's behind this? >> well, frankly, there is no good reason behind it. because all we're doing, it's a bipartisan commission. we're studying the issue and

putting the facts on the table and letting the american people see those facts. my first question is what do they have to hide? what do i don't want a bipartisan commission how extensive is voter fraud of this type or that type. brian: there is push to get you removed from this commission. they wrote a letter to the vice president of the united states conyers and cummings is his name. are on that letter. why do you think they want to removed and what's your message to them? >> i think they want me removed because i have been fighting voter fraud in my state of kansas for over six years now. and have, you know, been very specific about what we need to do and what other states should also consider doing. i guess they just don't want someone heading the commission as vice chair who knows this issue and knows how to get at the problem. i mean, it's a baffling letter. why wouldn't you want someone with some experience in the area to study the issue? brian: they think it's -- this is masked to be -- it's actually about voter suppression. >> it doesn't make sense.

how in the world can a commission in washington, d.c. or somewhere studying a problem cause someone in some far-flung state like california not to go to the polls that day? i mean, they haven't even shown us the logical link between a and z. it doesn't even make sense. brian: kris kobach thanks so much. i will be curious to see what happens with the commission as the president follows through and gets push back. one of the biggest surprises for me so far in this six months and there has been a lot. >> thank you. brian brine thank you. coming up, the last minute he opposed the repeal and replace plan. now republicans in the senate are under fire to do something to get a bill passed. senator jerry moran here next. but, up next as well a 13-year-old girl was trend for opening a lemonade stand without a license. how dare shea? now the girl fighting back. that girl and her dad join us next with the latest. what's thn mountain coffee and fair trade?

ainsley: richard, i will start with you. tell us what happened on that day that jazmine your daughter went out into the community, the neighborhood and set up her lemonade stand? >> well, she wanted to set up her lemonade stand and she asked for permission. i tell her she could go to the main gate where the main guard shack is. shea could set up and be there for an hour and come back home. she wasn't gone 20, 30 minutes, she came back in the house crying and sobbing and told me that someone drove up and asked her where her business license was for a lemonade stand. and then picked up his phone and proceeded to pretend he was on the phone with the police and told her she needed to get out of her. she doesn't have a license. ainsley: jazmine that man was so mean. why did he upset you? >> he upset me because i think that's never happened to me before. and so it kind of worried me that i thought i was going to get in trouble by the police. ainsley: you had to think you are trying to do a good thing.

you are trying to provide lemonade. we all did that at your age. this is a beautiful american story and this guy tried to ruin it. was he have a bad day? was he a mean person? >> i think he was just trying-i think he probably had a bad day. i think he was also trying to intimidate me. ainsley: dad, why did you get so mad? >> i thought it was unfair. i think that kids should be allowed the opportunity to find ways to earn money. in her case we are talking a summer vacation soon. and i thought it's time for her to start earning her own money as far as spending money goes. i told her she needed to come up with ways to earn money. she came up with one. i they it's something every did should be allowed to do whether mowing lawns or washing cars you had should be able to have a lemonade stand. ainsley: capitalism. you wrote on the facebook page you called him sad and pathetic. jazmine when i read that, i smiled. my dad would do the same thing.

he would defend me. how did that make you feel knowing your dad was protecting you and defending you? >> well, it just made me feel special because, you know, that means they care -- that means that he cares and that,you know, he was willing to, you know, go out of his way to, you know, try to post everything on the website and, you know, rye to make me happy. he made me feel like really special. ainsley: ultimately you are the winner because of your amazing dad. what did the police say, richard? >> when the police showed up -- well, the police showed up at the actual lemonade stand that we had the second time, and they just said, you know, had anybody shown up they would have supported her because they didn't agree with that. and specifically on our community, you are allowed to have lemonade stand because the hoa does allow it as long as you clean up and are not disrupting anyone.

ainsley: i just read what i'm told to read. brian: that's true. yeah, how dare you break up with me? all of you. you know who you are. steve: speaking of breaking up, doesn't it look yesterday that a whole bunch of republicans broke up. a number of republican senators said, look, give us the white house, give us the congress, give us the senate, and we will pass that repeal and replace thing. well, anne they've had the chance, and now we're hearing that there could be four u.s. senators who are "nos" on the u.s. procedural vote monday on whether or not it to proceed. but cory lewandowski was on this program an hour ago, and he said you know what? don't count out donald trump. he thinks it will pass. . >> look, i know the president is a great deal maker, and we were very, very close on this piece of legislation. there are a couple of tweaks that need to happen to bring senator mike lee from outta

board. and, look, it has been publicly reported that there are probably two republican u.s. senators who aren't going to support the bill. rand paul from connecticut and sue collins from maine. now, you don't necessarily they don't if you get everybody else, and you put mike pence in the chair, and he breaks the tie. so i think the bill's going to get done. the president is probably going to close the bill today. >> it's for republicans. it is an epic fail. the fact that they can't get together and who thought the gap between moderates and conservatives would be as great as the ones between democrats and republicans. that's the bottom line, and i think that stunned the president because i think the president's instincts are in the end, get a deal done. do the best you can and negotiate as hard as you can, but we all remember the objective. to buy the building. if you want to buy the building, get the best deal as possible, pressure as much as you can, but, you know, in the end, collaborate. it didn't happen again. so in this meeting today, i'm wondering -- you know it's going to leak out. steve: it's a lunch today at 12:30, the president called in

all the republican -- brian: it's not a high five meeting. this is going to be a productive meeting. ainsley: it's a movement on health care is what we're being told. the president trying to convince all of them. steve: exactly right. brian: or does he say collins, rand paul, and our guest later get up and go, by the way, i'm not voting for a clean repeal two years to replace. the president will have to leave that meeting and say i'm doing tax reform. ainsley: so says i don't want to vote on repeal and then just trust we all come together in the next two years and come up with a replacement. but the president is just saying let's let obamacare fail. i'm washing my hands of this. but wouldn't it be better to -- i understand they don't want to vote on a replacement right now because if it doesn't work, then republicans. steve: they already tried that. ainsley: their jobs are on the line. but the repeal, i just don't understand why all republicans aren't onboard. the democrats, they all come together. they awe unity. the republicans, they're divided.

but why wouldn't they repeal. brian: because you now know for two years, the insurance companies, the doctors, the hospitals, the individuals, medicaid, no one's going to know what is coming down the pike. for two years, the big question mark. all we know is that the health care plan is on obamacare's going, which it might go on its own highway in why don't they all vote to repeal. brian: because we don't have anything. steve: regardless of this bill, they're going to vote on it if mitch mcconnell gets the votes on monday. it's exactly the same bill that 15 or 16 months ago. three of the four u.s. senators that we put up on the bill wall, they voted for it last time. so it's going to be hard for them to say "you know what? i loved it then, but i hate it now." herman cane was on the program a little while ago, and he said what you know, folks? it ain't over until it's over. and if you want this to pass, call your senator today. watch. >> believe what they actually do. and if they follow through

within the voting to support it when they vote it forward before, i think they're going to pay a price because the american people, that memory isn't as short as it used to be. if you live in one of those states, call the capitol switchboard, ask for their office. you may talk to a person, you may leave a message. but let them know that you're paying attention. steve: they're counting the calls. >> they are counting the calls. trust me. and i had a representative one time tell me if they get 100 calls, they pay attention. that's what they're waiting to see. brian: i just don't understand. if mitch mcconnell, i thought had the sway at 70 plus years old. all of those years, how key not have the votes to get a plan together? how could -- now he's getting a lot of criticism for putting together this panel to negotiate the framework of this plan in secret relate to really ticked off the most of the republican caucus. and now when they go for a straight repeal, they see some of the blow back they're going to get because they're going

to have no replace. what about senator -- what is joe manchin who said "i want to meet with republican governors and democrat governors who are now in the senate about do not a way forward from here." steve: i don't think that's going to happen. when cory was on with us an hour ago, he said we're down to two firm "nos." rand paul and susan collins. the others are gettable. and that's one of the things the president's going to try to do over lunch. we heard, for instance, last week mitch mcconnell put all so there was money into that replacement bill for -- who was it? lisa merkowsky for the state of alaska. it was specifically to get her vote. that is why the president and the vice president asked specifically forth to be a vote on monday so everybody will be on the record. and if you're going to walk the plank, that's the day to do it.

ainsley: well, it wouldn't be a newsday if we didn't talk about health care and russia. steve: there you go. ainsley: the mainstream media is having a heyday with this one because remember the g20 summit when we saw melania sitting next to vladimir putin? well, mainstream media is saying that that was a second meeting. a corrective second meeting that our president had with vladimir putin. and he tweeted fake news story. a secret dinner with putin is sick. all g20 leaders were invited by the chancellor of germany. press knew. the fake news is becoming more and more dishonest, even a dinner around the for top 20 leaders in germany is made to look sinister so i haven't what happened is you have ian, he decides that he got a report that they had this second meeting impromptu not reporting on, and there was no american interpreterrer there. there was but she only spoke japanese. vladimir putin's japanese is not as good as it should. no one actually knows what took place at this impromptu

talk. there was just a brief conversation at the end of dinner. the inis sinuation at the white house is false, malicious, and absurd. steve: so just a recap. the mainstream media has an explosion about the second media no one knew about. the president of the united states was walking over to talk to his wife who is seated next to vladimir putin. therthere was no magnet. it was not a secret. that is according to cory lewandowski, who was with us an hour ago. >> the president -- if he drives in the car for 35 seconds, you know, there's a giant press pool behind him, all of a sudden it's a secret meeting, then nothing is secret about this. there were literally hundreds and hundreds of cameras when the president spoke to vladimir putin. we saw the replay probably of the handshake, and then he's seated at dinner with 39 other people. putin's on the other side,

next to the first lady of the united states. there's nothing corrective about 50 people at a dinner. brian: when you overreact to a story like this, which is a nonstory, in fact, i just heard an interesting story where they talked to an additional whatever time it was. 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 10 minutes, doesn't matter. you lose all credibility on something that comes out that is really shocking like the don jr. e-mail chain. that suitable huge story. this is not a huge story. steve: although, ian bremer who explained it all out there says it was a real meeting. keep in mind, supposedly, this meeting took place at the dinner table. ainsley: you know what i love about this profession? sometimes you get an interview like with cory today, and he then he throws in a little nugget in there, and you haven't thought about it. he said angela merkel, who was the hostess of this dinner because obviously this is in germany, that she was in charg charge of putting the people next to each other. steve: are you suggesting she was colluding with russia to put -- ainsley: she put vladimir

putin next to melania. at least that's what cory was alluding to. just something interesting to think about. brian: maybe there was another conversation with the french president on the bathroom line. ainsley: you know when you're hosting a dinner party, and you're choosing who sits next to each other? they're friends, so -- brian: i have backyard parties with friends. just mingle. however you end up, you end up. right, jillian? >> right. i like that. backyard parties. ainsley: he thinks who's going to hold his feet when he does the can he go stand. brian: that's right. >> we'll get back to that in a little bit. we are now learning fireworks may have startled a minnesota police officer just before he fatally shot justine. officers referencing the loud noise in the dispatch video moments after the shooting. >> two shots heard from the east. this are probably aerial

fireworks. ainsley: the australian bride to be called police to report an assault in the ally. officer opened fire from the passenger seat in the squad car while she stood outside in her pajamas. both are on leave and neither wants to talk. charlie gard has a second chance at life, thanks to congress. granting the terminally ill insistent u.s. citizenship for treatment. this comes as a brand-new picture you're seeing. it says it proves he is not blind. the uk high court will decide tuesday whether the baby can receive treatment or if he will be taken off life support, and we will certainly keep you posted. the u.s. postal service in hot water for appearing to allow its employees to do campaign work for hillary clinton. a new report from the office of special counsel. the postal service broke the law by allowing union funded

work. that limits certain political activities by federal employees. the postmaster general says any violation was unintentional. and that's a look at your headlines on this wednesday, guys. all day yesterday, i thought it was wednesday. so now today, it's actually nice to say happy wednesday. brian: all right. good job. steve: and you're in charge of the news? you don't know what day it is? >> i'm all confused, steve. ainsley: it happens to all of us. brian: not really. not to me. ainsley: because brian's perfect. steve: hey, at the last minute, he opposed a repeal and replace bill. and today he's sitting don't even with the president. how is that going to go? senator gerri. ainsley: plus a family of five kicked off a jetblue flight. here's another one. >> come with me. >> i need to get back to new york. i need my kids back home. did anything happen? honestly, did anything physical happen? this is ridiculous. people would stare. psoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage.

i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they see me. see me. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. never give up. see me. see me. clear skin can last. don't hold back... ...ask your dermatologist if cosentyx can help you find clear skin that lasts.

it's my decision to make it's nbeauty last.ix. roc® retinol started visibly reducing my fine lines and wrinkles in one week. and the longer i use it, the better it works. retinol correxion® from roc methods, not miracles.™ brian: president trump not giving up the fight to repeal and replace obamacare. in fact, he's inviting all gop senators to lunch today to work on a brand-new plan. one of those senators is kansas gop senator. he joins us right now on what we're going to expect. and, senator, i have to start

with you and senator mike lee really made news as the president was talking about a strategy in the hopes to pass a replacement for obamacare at the white house. word came that you were out. you two weren't going to vote for this bill, therefore crushing it. who did you communicate with? did you realize that this would embarrass the president? >> we've had a number of conversations with the white house, including the secretary of health and human services tom price. but also, informed the white house led shop and the office in the united states senate of what was going to transpire that evening. so my view is that it was an opportunity to express what i had concluded, which was this bill is inadequate in its repeal of the affordable care act. this bill is inadequate in the replacement of the affordable care act, obamacare. and it would not get my vote in the end, therefore people needed to know that up front so that we can move in a

different direction than where we were going. brian: true. however, you know the limitations because you could only get 52 votes, and you needed 60. and you knew the votes because of the procedures that were in. did you feel as though leadership wasn't listening to you? or did you feel as though you offered things, and it didn't even matter? >> it's very difficult to find a solution. one thing that can happen in these negotiations trying to get 51 votes is it begins to shift to not what is in the bill, but how to win a senator's vote. and that generally involves money. that's not a good way for us to develop health care policy, how to improve the chances that more americans have access to affordable health care is not to get in the position in which senators are being -- what does it take in the sense of what more money can we provide to get your vote? what we need to do is have a policy that is conservative and innovative that takes the points of view of a lot of folks into account.

and not only repeal the affordable care act in a more full way. but to replace it with something that would lower premiums. because my certain if we don't get both right, then republicans have their stamp of approval on a lot in health care. one sixth of the u.s. economy. and americans are still mad that nothing happened to help me. it lends themselves to moving. republican plan didn't work. democrat plan didn't work. let's move toward universal care, which i think is a terrible mistake. brian: they're not happy now, i'll tell you that. and there's going to be a flat repeal. will you vote for repeal? >> i will. brian: do you think there will be enough votes? what do you say to the four at least that won't? >> well, i mean, each senator will need to make up their own minds, honestly. but i made a commitment to kansasans. i voted for repeal before. i believe it puts us in a position where we would have leverage with democrats. all 100 senators following expert testimony and

congressional hearings puts us in a better place to get a follow-up to repeal, which would be a good replacement. brian: senator, you've been the eye of the storm, and thanks so much for getting up with us and explaining what was behind your decision and future decision. >> thank you for the conversation. brian: more fox and friends. we talk oj next when itrust the brandtburn, doctors trust. nexium 24hr is the number one choice of doctors and pharmacists for their own frequent heartburn. and all day, all night protection. when it comes to heartburn, trust nexium 24hr. your insurance on time. tap one little bumper, and up go your rates. what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? news flash: nobody's perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. switch and you could save $782

ainsley: a federal judge reducing to drop ray. accused much helping omar mateen last year that killed 49 people. her trial is set for march. and a prison experiment to rebill take the one of the terrorists is progressive to be a major failure. and now we know how much it's costing you, the taxpayer. over $200,000 of your hard-earned cash was used to

help skip prison in minnesota. he was sentenced in november for trying to join isis. but instead of jail, he was in the deradicallization program, which failed. after just two months when he was caught watching an isis documentary. steve: thanks, ainsley. oj simpson could soon be a free man. he is eligible for parole as early as tomorrow, following that 2008 conviction, which includes charges of robbery and kidnapping. so what's going to happen? let's talk to fox news legal analyst and host of property man bob massie, who covered the trial from inside the vegas courtroom. bog, they covered the new york news today. parole, history, they're talking about tomorrow. what's going to happen? >> well, the hearing's going to take place at 10:00 pacific time. fox news channel radio correspondent interview tom, who is oj's best friend. he's going to be there, oj's daughter, and sister.

tame was the one who oj was in the wedding. and luckily for him, steve, he didn't go to the palace station that day, and he said if oj gets out, he's going to lay low, no reality shows. he wants -- tomorrow, these parole hearing commissioners will hear what they need to hear and make a decision. steve: sure. i know fred goldman, the father of rod goldman said keep him locked up. but bruce said let him out. >> yeah. i mean, i think the general consensus is this is an overcharge type of conviction and sentence that the white elephant in the room is what happened in '94. but honestly, these parole commissioners see they're bound by the facts of the case. of their bound by what happened. obviously, they went into the palace station to get property, which was a stupid thing to do. and i think even the district attorney in las vegas steve

wolfson whose wife who ultimately sentenced oj said he should probably get out, as well as david rodger, who, in fact, prosecuted him and said he probably will get out. steve: sure. now, for folks who were not paying close attention, some people think, well, he's in prison for the murder of his wife. no, he was found innocent of those charges. however, years later, then there was this thing in vegas. robbery, kidnapping, all of that stuff. he was sentenced to 33 years. but, bob, you were in the courtroom. 33 years seems like a big stretch of time. so some have surmised he got that much time because the people in las vegas were trying to convict him for the murder that he was found innocent of. >> unspoken type of thoughts, steve. i agree with what you're saying. we want to believe as trial lawyers, civil, criminal, trial lawyers and prosecutors that they weigh the evidence, and they make that determination. will anybody ever admit to that? no.

judge glass at the time of sentencing actually made a comment that she wanted to make it clear that the sentence she's going to give is a sentence that has nothing to do with the past but rather based on the facts. don't think that he went away too long for this crime? yes, i do. but the bottom line is the fact. he has his chance tomorrow. and these commissioners have to make a decision. and i think most people feel that he's going to walk. if he does, he'll get out in october. and most say move back to florida. steve: and you know what? there's a possibility some are talking he could wind up with a reality show, and everybody would watch that. i know you would. i would. >> we'll see. we'll see. steve: bob, thank you very much. we'll be watching that out in vegas tomorrow. thank you, sir. first up, he admitted lying about his military service. >> on a few occasions, i have misspoken about my service, and i regret that. and i take full responsibility. steve: okay. well, now can it

brian: i actually met both of them. steve: they've been on the show, and they sang this song. brian: they said i was signing books, and they said do you want to come over to montgomery? he's playing in my backyard, and he was. steve: one heck of a backyard. brian: it was big. steve: hey, look who's here. she's on our backyard on the if a right of the couch right now. abby huntsman. congratulations your father it has been announced is going to be the next ambassador to the country of russia. abby: not a easy task at all by means. steve: did we say russia? or russia, russia, russia. >> he still has to get through the senate confirmation. but, look, you guys all know my dad. he's someone that loved this country, and he said from the moment he proposed to my mom, i hope for an exciting ride because that was his goal. he said i want to give back to that nation. and i think i went to four different hides. i mean, we moved around so much. this is just part of our life. brian: now, did you go to school when he was an embarrassed of china, did you go to school there? >> i went to school in

singapore, he was an ambassador there, and i worked in beijing when he was an ambassador. he will be the first confirmed ambassador to both china and russia, which is quite fascinating. but, you know, he's someone that has served under five presidents from both parties. and he has passed that down to us. he said who you're serving, you stand up, and you do it. ainsley: you know, i love your family story because your grandfather, he's a self made, built a cancer hospital that you were highlighting last week. amazing what he's doing in saving lives and changing lives. and then your father is governor of utah and now he has been an ambassador how many times? how many countries? abby: two times. yeah. ainsley: this will be a third. and then you. you're doing fox and friends on the weekend. abby: i was talking to my dad on the phone about it. he said, you know, make sure you highlight all of the people in this country around the world that many times have to leave their family. they're not easy jobs. they never get recognized. i mean, the media today is so focused on gossip and chaos

and many things that aren't even true anymore. we don't actually focus on the people out there doing. brian: people pointed general kelly with homeland security, and they say what a perfect spot. and they say secretary defense mattis, my goodness. and senator schumer's of the world. but i actually believe your father belongs up there. he's in the most consequential spot. maybe outside our borders. because of what's going on with russia. because even today about vladimir putin. your dad with this; correct? abby: yeah, and he has such a deep understanding of policy. you think about serving in china. i mean, there are a lot of similarities there. and i think that's what we should focus on. i do have to point out, it is frustrating when you look at social media and just the lack of respect. but on the other side, you have a lot of people that say how key serve this president? and i went to bed last night thinking what are we turning into? what do we want to live in? do we want to live in a place where there are good people

qualified to serve, raise their hand and say please let me step in. do we want to flave country where people are lind their computers credit sacrificing whatever -- ainsley: don't do that. steve: absolutely. we flave country where perhaps the next ambassador to russia was featured in cooking with friends. abby: he was. i will say, though, i get emotional about it because my family is moving to moscow. my parents, my little sisters. i'm going to have a baby in a few months. they'll be over there. but it's the sacrifice that's worth doing. steve: thankfully skype can bring you face to face. >> if it's working, yeah. brian: don't they put -- abby: he has been through ambassadorial school, so next he'll go through the confirmation. that will be fascinating to watch. steve: absolutely. abby: a lot of questions. ainsley: he has a lot of experience. he'll do fine. abby: thanks, guys. brian: and he'll be there for the world cup. abby: and you might be too, brian; right? brian: that's right. moscow. steve: 24 minutes before the top of the hour.

and, jillian, what's happening now? ainsley: it's that it's the same, abby, but you have your family here. abby: i do. >> later today, president trump's voter fraud commission will hold its first public meeting. the bipartisan panel led by vice president mike pence is under fire after most states, at least partially refused to hand over voting data. the presidential commission on election earlier. take a listen. >> we're studying the issue and putting the facts on the table and letting the american people see those facts. my question is what do they have to hide? why don't they want a bipartisan commission to look at the facts for this type or that type. >> making it clear that all the voting data requested from states is already open to the public. a family of five is demanding answers. it claims it was unfairly kicked off a jetblue flight. >> come with me outside the plane. >> okay. i need to get back to new york. murphy kids back home. did anything happen? honestly, did anything

but he was getting booed by the crowd, and the announcer even referenced his last scandal while he was on the beach during the state government was shut down. brian: they like doing that. the mets weren't winning. they were supposed to win it all. they'll boo everybody. steve: he's from new jersey. of course they're going to boo him. news time to weather time. >> weather with friends. yes, let's take a quick look at it. it is warm across the u.s. today. hot and humid where we have heat advisories in effect and the potential for showers and thunderstorms for the upper midwest and the great lakes where we can see some large hail damage. let's meet some friends. where are you from? >> savannah, georgia. >> what are you doing with this big, ol' sign. >> well, we're really proud of lindsey. >> yay. real quick, where are you guys from? >> marshal town, iowa. >> virginia.

this is truecar. essential for him, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. needles. fine for some. but for you, one pill a day may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. an "unjection™".

steve: all right. we get quick thursday morning headlines for you. your kids toys may actually be spying on them. the feds now say toys that connect to wi-fi could put your child's privacy and safety at risk because they've got microphones and cameras and gps systems in some cases can potentially give hackers personal information, including your kid's schools, ages, and genders. so be warned. and more trouble for chipotle. another store shut down. that location in sterling, virginia. northern virginia. forced to closed its stores after more than a dozen customers got sick. their symptoms consistent with the neurovirus. of course it was two years ago a couple customers got sick after an e. coli outbreak

chipotles nationwide. ainsley: we remember that. thank you so much, steve. well, remember when can it democrat senator richard blumenthal admitted to laying about serving in vietnam? listen. >> on a few occasions, i had misspoken about my service, and i regret that, and i take full responsibility. ainsley: well, now another slap in the face. this one to our military. the senator pushing for half a billion dollars in funding to care for wounded ukrainian soldiers. couldn't that money be put to better use for americans? well, here to weigh in on this is former navy seal and advisory board member for trump 2020 higbie. thank you for being here, carl. >> thanks for having me. ainsley: thank you for being here and talking about this issue. so you want to help other people. we're not opposed to that. it's just bizarre that he wants to give money to help wounded ukrainian soldiers when our own soldiers are being wounded. you're a former navy seal. you know this better than anyone. >> right. and i do applaud people. but at what cost?

and this is the issue. you have our own service members making -- i don't know. $19,000 a year that this is their tax money that he wants to give half a billion to. he comes from a state unfunded liability. this is symptomatic largely of the democratic party, not just senator blumenthal. they want to change that nobody understands the dynamic of half a billion dollars. ainsley: think about that. $500million. we would all love to have a million dollars. >> and who pays for it? the guy making $1,500 a month. that's who's paying for this. ainsley: you're right. let's put up the full screen. he's talking about exactly what our military men and women are making. average monthly salary is $1,567. that is less than $19,000, as you can see, every year. so you're saying when we are giving money to the ukrainian soldiers, we're taking money out of our military pocket. >> right. coming out of their paycheck. and richard blumenthal is one

of the wealthiest centers. his family owns the empire state building. he earns $175,000 saying for whatever they do. and this is the problem. they're so stuck in the resist movement that they're not accomplishing anything, so they're trying to accomplish things that make people feel good on paper, but don't actually work. and the finances of it don't make any sense of the american people. ainsley: what would you rather see that money go toward? >> you could start working on the building the border wall, which i'm a big proponent of. i mean, there are so many things here. our infrastructure. i mean, you drive under the george washington bridge. i drove on the way here. it's rusted out, there's constant things being wrapped up. i mean, there are so many things that half a billion dollars could go to here in america because we need to put our country first, just like president trump is trying to do. rather than sending it to the ukrainians. nothing against them, and i applaud their efforts, but can't do it right now. ainsley: thank you. and thank you for your service. coming up next, you've seen the commercials everywhere. >> i back my pillow with a

ten-year warranty and 60 high day money back guarantee. not only that, i do all of the manufacturing in the home state of minnesota. ainsley: and it's proof products by america can. the founder of my pillow is going to join us next take it fr, every step counts. a bayer aspirin regimen is one of those steps in helping prevent another stroke. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. back in the 90's, when billy wanted to ask madeline out on a date, he would call her corded house telephone and get permission to speak to her. today is a lot different. billy just slides into madeline's dm and she'll respond with "oh hayyy! swing by 4 dinnr! smiley face heart emoji" even though courtship has become less strict,

>> good wednesday morning, everybody. a busy couple hours coming up on america's newsroom. president trump hosting a lunch for gop senators at the white house today. as mitch mcconnell's clean repeal of obamacare appears to be dead on rival. we've got former speaker of the house newt gingrich coming up on congress' need to get something done. former utah congressman jason chaffetz also joins us, and our very own bret baier joins bill and me america's newsroom. ten minutes. we'll see you then.

ainsley: well, he is smart. we have seen his commercials everywhere. >> 15 years ago i invented my pillow. it took me two years to develop because i wanted to have everything you would ever want in a pillow. i back my pillow with a ten-year warranty and a 60 high day money back guarantee. an only that, i do all of my manufacturing in the home state of minnesota. ainsley: it is a multimillion-dollar american success story and proved that products made here in the usa by american workers can actually lead to prosperity. brian: and that's the theme week at the white house. and that's the exact point that the president is making. my pillow.com founding ceo mike lendl not on a customer but in person. and doctor, you actually have a different experts. >> thank you. it's an honor to be here. steve: it's great to have you. so we understand you are going to the white house later today with your my pillow. why? >> yeah. 3:00. well, i got called, actually, earlier in

the week to come to the white house, and i guess we're going to be talking about how it is. it kind of goes back to last summer. the president reached out to me, and we met last august, and i met him, and we talked about everything made in america and bringing the jobs back and the inner cities and everything that was -- i realized right then, he's going to be the best president ever. brian: but you also know money-wise a lot of people want to be successful. they say i want to send it out, increase my bottom line, maybe even hire more people. why does that formula not work for you? >> you know, i like to be hands on, and i like to seek my employees with such a passion. with my pillow, it's a passion that runs the company, and it's so treating help people, and we help each other. and, you know, making stuff overseas, you know, you've got that two-month timeline and all of these people don't realize too. small business owners, you get trapped in that.

all of a sudden you get big you don't have your product. or even if you get your product at a lower price, quality might be different. i like to be right there hands on, relationships are so important. and just keeping the jobs here is just so rewarding, and i've been very -- ainsley: we support you, and we love your commercials because we always love a story, and we support the underdog. a guy who is self made, and we all want to buy your pillows because we watched that commercial. is it more expensive to make these pillows here in america? i applaud you for keeping it here in the states. but is it more expensive? >> you know, i don't know. by the time you pay freight and everything, it would be more expensive. but every -- i make every part of my pillow here too, so it's not just the jones i employ over 1,500. but all of the other jobs. if the company leaves the u.s., the companies that follow suit, you know, there was a snowmobile company a long time ago where i heard about they left the, and then

the nuts and bolts people had to follow and the guys that made the seats, the guys that made the tracks and just the industry if we keep our manufacturing here or bring it back, it just creates so many jobs. it's so amazing. steve: absolutely and when people say something is made in america, that means that at least 70% of the product is made in the united states. 30% can actually be made overseas. but yours is 100%. >> 100%. steve: mike, the great thing about your story, though, in addition to the fact that my pillow is a great success is you are living the american dream because when you were a younger man, you hit the skids, and you pulled yourself up from a very deep hole. >> right. i was a cocaine attic, and i've been very blessed, and i love giving back. my employees, i just embrace them, and we make careers of my pillow, not just jobs. it's amazing. ainsley: mike, there's a picture in the commercial.

it looks like -- is that your son standing behind you? and tell us a little bit about your family and your background. >> yeah. when we started out, everybody got involved. i have two sons and two daughters, and they -- back in 2005 when i had my pillow invented, i went everywhere, and i was turned down everywhere, and it was just my family and i making the pillows at night and selling them during the day at home shows and fairs. and everybody got involved. we had to learn how to do everything. we didn't know how to -- i had to learn how to sew. i didn't know how to sew. steve: you figured it out. ainsley: yeah, you did. brian: good luck today. and tell the president how to do it, and maybe your success story will spread. thanks, mike. ainsley: thank you so much. steve: he's going to be at the meeting with the senators. that should be good. copd makes it hard to breathe. so to breathe better, i go with anoro. ♪go your own way
