place in these pics. much much the discussion focused on the landscape for the 2018 midterm elections. republicans are hoping to keep their majorities in both the house and the senate are expected to face some particularly tough battles to do so in the house. so leaders have suggested the mid terms will certain live play a role in what their plans are over the next several months. with that in mind, they also plan to focus on their successful passage of the g.o.p.'s tax bill which the president talked about yesterday as he departed the white house for camp david. >> going over with the senators. we have set new records. and i think they will be continued to be set. the tax cuts are really kicking in far beyond what anyone thought. >> today we are told the discussion also shift to a number of policy issues the g.o.p. is hoping to tackle this year. including infrastructure, national security tax policy, next year's budget and daca. the meetings will start with a working breakfast around 8:30 a.m. eastern and pick up again around 11:00 to talk more about policy plans for the year ahead,

including avoiding a government shut down that is set to kick in january 19th if a new budget isn't passed. back to y'all. lisa: a lot going on there. thanks, garrett. pete: there is so much noise. we will get to the noise in the program. you have been hearing about it the mainstream media has been obsessing about it. lisa: there might be a book. i'm hearing about it. pete: underneath it all is an administration laser focused doubling down on the accomplishments they have already made and a show down with democrats who want this daca deal who want amnesty for dreamers but don't want to give anything for it except they don't control any levers of power. how dose the government in power, this president stare them down, get a wall and end to chain migration. get an end to the visa lottery system in exchange for a deal on daca and by the way does the government shut down in the process? washington hates that the folks who voted for president trump probably don't care if the government shuts down. he has to make that

calculus. lisa: president trump has tweeted previously, no wall no, deal on daca. it will be interesting to see what do democrats do because they have gotten at love heat for the fact that senator chuck schumer caved on daca. immigration activists wanted chuck schumer to hold the line to not vote for a spending bill if it didn't include daca. he didn't. they didn't want to be responsible for government shut down. they do the same on january 19th or what do democrats do? does president trump say no deal on daca unless i get the wall? griff: i'm the reporter were usually doing garrett tenney's job. i want to talk about daca. $18 billion over 10 years to build a wall whether we have the government shut down that's important. you cannot ignore this book. this is a tell-all book that came out very early. the president who is clearly, this book is about the gossipping and in fighting and interesting battles going on in the early years r. months in this administration.

it's no, ma'am coming on the heels of the back reform, biggest accomplishment in tax reform. now president at camp david trying to move on these issues. of the president is not going to let this go. lisa: can i ask you a question real quick? okay, so on this book do you thinks is as salacious which we have had even reporters like maggie haverman part of the book disputed. do you think this would get the same attention if it were about president obama honestly? >> honest answer, no. i don't. the take away from this book is that it was the justification that the president's critics and those that truly hate him in the media now there they have it. they have got the smoking gun that proves that he is somehow unfit but haverman and some others are saying that's really not fair. here's the thing though, this book did do what perhaps michael wolff, one of the intended consequences which is he knew president

trump would not let it go. still makes a disparaging remarks from his chief strategist steve bannon against him and his family. this is the tweet i wanted to get to. the new tweet today for our viewers to see. michael wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. he used sloppy steve bannon who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. now sloppy steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everybody, too bad. a little bit of news there. i have not heard anyone that sloppy steve as he is now known cried when he got fired. pete: the left is fawning over it they want this palace intrigue. they want steve bannon and president trump shooting at each other. it's amazing. i can't even believe i'm going to do this but i'm going to cite the "new york times" or the failing "new york times" as evidence. griff: it pains you. pete: it pains me as evidence of the fact that maybe everything in this book isn't quite as true as you might think. this is maggie haverman who is usually making things up

about the president. here is what she had to say about this book. listen. >> he creates a narrative that is notion nally true. conception nally true. the details are often wrong. i can see several places in the book that are wrong. he gets basic details wrong. he has a history of telling people they are off the record and disregarding that. pete: details are really important. details are what quotes or phrases are made of. whether it's treasonous or dumb as a box of rocks or whatever phrases you want to use inside the book. if you are misquoting someone, you are mischaracter eyeing the entire intention of that entire conversation. what can you believe in the book? lisa: a couple of things, too. in the book it alleges that president trump didn't know who former speaker john boehner was back in 2013 they went golfing, so of course he knew who he was. pete: he referred to him on the campaign trail multiple times. lisa: i have seen people bring this up on twitter and it's a great point. which is it president trump dumb as a box of rocks, didn't want to win, didn't

think he was going to win or is this treasonous geico including with russia and has, you know, splatterly swayed the election because of that? which one is it in the media can't decide. whether you have basic facts like the john boehner thing wrong, have you got reporters like the "new york times" which fundamentally hate president trump. i mean, look at every article that has ever been published in the "new york times" saying that, look, this guy has a history of getting things wrong. there are parts in this that i know myself maggie haverman saying is wrong. how can you take the entire book at face value? that's what the media is doing. griff: i will tell you, lisa, you raised the perhaps the most important question that i. lisa: thank you. griff lisz his would you like to sit there until 10:00 a.m. with us? griff: had president obama in his first year accomplished tax reform that hadn't deny done in.

lisa: anwr? griff: would very gotten the diss that he has gotten and lack of coverage. roger stone talked about the agenda a little bit. let me play this out real quick. >> none of this is going to change anything. the trump core constituency will remain strongly behind the president as long as he continues to keep faith with them on the platform that got him elected. we have a record stock market. we have unemployment at historic lows. a boon in the housing market. a solid conservative on the supreme court. donald trump is making america great again and candidly nobody really cares about what steve bannon thinks. pete: i'm a fan of steve bannon. i think he is a smart guy he has done a lot of great things. reality is this is not about steve bannon it's about the country and what the president is doing. the voters who voted for president trump is saying how what is his agenda and how is he aaccomplishing it and tell-all book and giving

access and one person's agenda isn't ever going to trump, to use a phrase, what this president is actually accomplishing. that is the bigger narrative and that's exactly what roger stone is saying. lisa: the intention is not to cover those things and that's where the media's focus is. they don't want to cover tax reform in 30 years. anwr in 40 years. individual mandate. pete: you are right. lisa: we have to turn to other headlines. there is other stuff going on, i guess. we begin with extreme weather. millions across the country bracing for dangerous record breaking cold we feel it here. sub zero expected from north carolina to maine. flooding streets in massesma. cars payroll lived under several feet of icy water. and in new jersey firefighters battling fierce winds fueling a house fire in newark. the violent storm blamed for at least 12 deaths. two planes colliding on the ground overnight passengers panicking as they watch flames erupt from the other

[screams] oh my gosh, look at that those passengers inside a west jet flight that had just landed at toronto's international airport from can coon. the stationary plane struck by aircraft moving back from the gate. passengers evacuated by sliding down emergency slides. thankfully nobody was hurt. and one person is $450 million richer. after a single jackpot winning mega millions ticket was sold in florida. the winning numbers in friday's drawing are 28, 30, 39, 59, 70 and mega ball 10. there is still no word who bought the ticket and were in florida. i wish that was me. griff: i won determine if it was my mom. she played. lisa: we will see. i hope. so still another massive up for grabs. tonight's powerball jackpot is 570 million.

steve: may move to 750 after no one wins. griff: i talked to my 85-year-old mother in florida and she said i'm going to play mega million. pete: keep playing folks, maybe you will win. griff: he was suspended for botched report. now brian ross is returning to abc news with a demotion. details coming up. pete: impeachment attempts are not working so the left is trying a new talking point. the president, he is unstable. >> should americans be concerned about the president's mental fitness. >> none of this normal. none of this acceptable. none of this, frankly, stable. pete: thanks jake tapper. david webb says this destined to fail. he joins us next ♪ and i try ♪ and i try ♪ an i can't get no ♪ i can't get no

psychiatrist would ever issue something on a patient unless they have actually met with a patient. that's ridiculous. this is about a narrative that the democrats need. they failed on impeachment. it was a farce. it didn't fall under anything. has to be a chargeable crime. they now need a narrative because they fear what's coming. they are watching all of these investigations, the resistance movement and everything be both ineffective and unraveling. the unraveling of this whole mess arranged fusion gps. the muriel investigation. fruit of the poison tree. the term that's a legal application of that was it the poison tree with the dossier. who paid for it? was it used as james comey admitted that he gave it to his columbia law professor friend and leaked it which by the way is also a violation of law under federal code because those documents whether he did it on his laptop are still within presidential privilege and permission wasn't given to him. that unravels andrew welcome

going to buy that narrative. who are they driving it to? they are driving it to everdwindling base. we watched the democratic party essentially not be a national party anymore. and some democrats are concerned but they are not in charge. nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, keith ellison. tom perez. pete: antifa keith ellison. >> antifa keith ellison holds up the antifa manual as a way to resist fascism. these guys have nothing else. by the way where is the bill they presented. griff: quick prediction we have got to go yes or no. will this boost or hurt the president the emperor has no clothes it? >> will do nothing. he has a coordinated effort and a strong base that supports him and success from tax policy. griff: david webb, thank you very much. pete: and a twitter account. david webb, thank you. we appreciate it joe biden is fueling the 2020 rumors by slamming president trump in a new interview. is the former v.p. ignoring his own many questionable

pete: welcome back. a couple quick headlines for you. amid years of dangerous leaks admiral mike vorges expected to retire within months. this is according to multiple reports in an internal letter rogers told staff he will be leaving in the spring. president trump is expected to nominated his replacement this month. look out for that democratic congressman earl blumeernaer bow ty. the anti-trump resister from

oregon who did not, of course, attend trump's inauguration says instead of being at the address he will be working at home. the address is slated for january 30th. griff, down to you. griff: pete, thank you. will vice president joe biden back in the spotlight. >> what i worry about is fundamental calculations. this is not a business deal. >> ceos saying we are going to grow. we are going to raise wages. and they are saying we are glad to not have new regulations added on did. your administration go too far. >> same ceos in the much larger and deeper poll that was done also have grave doubt about his judgment. griff: his criticism fueling speculation is he all in on a 2020 presidential run. is biden ignoring his own questionable decisions while in office? here to debate it president of security studies jim hanson and president of

policy group joel reuben. gentlemen, good morning. how are you? >> good morning. >> jim, let's start with you to react to vice president biden. last time i checked he is not in control but he certainly has a lot of advice to armchair offer. what are your thoughts? >> you know, i would like to jump on board the joe biden 2020 bandwagon right now. i wholeheartedly support crazy uncle joe getting in the ring. he has nothing but bad decisions and bad policies in his only thing that could be better for republicans and only thick to guarantee trump's win is for hillary to run again. i'm afraid she might have to get a work release from her federal prison where her email and clinton foundation corruption scandals are catching up for her. we will settle for joe. griff: joel, i want you to respond because you are a formeform -- what would be a

better response what's happening right now clearly an escalated rhetoric from the rogue regime in north korea? >> well, it's great to see strong leader coming back to washington. and vice president biden's popularity is sky high. it's 57%. the americans like him. they like what he has done on veterans. his fight against cancer. and on north korea, to your question, frankly, he is making a clear point that we should be tough on north korea, have aggressive sanctions and diplomacy but not be threatening nuclear war. not be trying to create a dynamic where we make unhinged leader more unhinged as we have seen over the past year where north korea has made more progress in the last year on its program than it did in the previous decade. it's good to have someone back in washington who can really speak for a broad sector of america. griff: real quick, jim, let you respond to that because joel is saying this whole tweet about president trump button and tit tat with kim

jong un is it bringing us as vice president biden says closer to nuclear war? >> last time i checked north koreans called south korea and opened a diplomatic hotline hours after that happened that they hadn't been using. i think primp is bringing him to the table. joe biden was wrong about iraq. he was for the iraq war and then against the surge which helped us win it then he helped president obama cut and run from iraq helped isis and iran moved through. he will helped bring the iran deal in to effect. sent pallets of cash to the iranian government which they are using to buy bullets to shoot the protesters again after he and obama ignored the 2009 green revolution there. he hasn't got any foreign policy success to stand on. so i think running against him would be a god send to the republican party. griff: let me tell you what else you can't ignore jim, and joel i want you to respond this.

saying joe biden too old to run. >> he is about the same age at president trump. if that's the case then neither should really be contemplating running in 2020. in terms of his foreign policy acura men, the fight against isis that we're winning was a fight that was structured and organized by joe biden as vice president. and the iran nuclear agreement, which has prevented iran variably from getting a nuclear weapon was as a result of tough negotiations and sanctions led by the administration. the obama administration that the trump administration is potentially going to unravel and leave us exposed to iranian nuclear program without constraint. i wouldn't exactly say those are failures. griff: all right, joel and reuben and jim hanson. we will figure out whether vice president was correct when he said he could take howard dean. we will leave that for another day. pleasure guys. remember when defense secretary james mattis said

this? >> what keeps you awake at night? >> nothing. i keep other people awake at night. griff: wait until you hear mad dog's newest message for our enemies in the first congressional calls for a criminal investigation into the author of that anti-trump dossier. former congressman jason chaffetz has called that dossier bogus from the beginning. he is here next. ♪ ♪ baby, you better believe ♪ i'm back ♪ back in the new york groove ♪ i'm back ♪ back in the new york groove ♪ e... and those who embrace it. e... the future is for the unafraid. ♪ all because of you ♪ ♪

>> stop the leaks, give us the documents. >> answer our questions. attorney general sessions asking the witness when he was witness in the judiciary committee i asked him i said, look, did you pay christopher steele. did you pay the author of the dossier, the person that senator grassley and senator graham are talking about today? did the fbi pay him at the same time the clinton campaign was paying him and we need a second special counsel even lindsey graham and estate host of members are calling for that special second counsel to examine all of this. those are four key points. if there is movement on those, fine. that's what i hope happens. if there is not, then there should be a new attorney general. pete: was that jim jordan on the panel previously. we will bring in jason chaffetz. fox news contributor and former colleague of jim jordan as well. you heard that sound, congressman. he also joined in an op-ed with mark meadows, basically saying, you know, it's time for a new attorney general.

he's not doing enough. what's your take on this? >> unfortunately and i said this before i do think it's time for the attorney general to go. he has recused himself of some of the most important issues going on at the department of justice. major stim systemic problems within the department of justice. jim jordan is right. i think mark meadows is right. chris stewart out of utah also on the intel committee. have you judiciary members frustrated that the attorney general ♪ answering basic questions. i think he is in over his head. you don't need all these special counsels if you have an attorney general who can actually do his job. and i don't see attorney general sessions is able to do the basic requirements of what he was hired to do. lisa: saying on the department of justice and they now they are looking in to potential pay to play allegations you looked back 2015 over uranium one. from your perspective and what you have seen as the former chairman of the oversight committee, what should they be looking at and what do you hope they

drill down on? >> it was back in june of 2015 with ron desantis who was my subcommittee chairman. we sent a seven-page letter outlining the details and the companies that we had serious transactional issues with. this went to jack lew who was at the time the treasury secretary department of defense. uranium is critical to what we're doing with our nuclear arsenal. in part you could chock it up to the deep state and maybe it's the obama administration. finally i'm glad now if these reports are true that the department of justice is finally starting to look at this and, you know, peel it back. but it's taking years to get to that point. lisa: is it beyond uranium one. >> yeah. lisa: specifically very wernd did uranium one. >> uranium one is one of the factor. we list outer in this letter several of the companies and organizations and questioning the flow of money. at the surface, those who are not familiar with this

we have a very finite resource in uranium. why would our government, why is it in the best interest of the united states to allow anybody, other than the united states access to that uranium? and now we find out that not only was it involved with canada but going to asia and to europe. griff: hang on though. let me ask you though because there are all these calls for sessions to step down to replace him. at the same time you have, as you just said and admitted this long overdue informal investigation into hillary clinton. they are looking at the pay for play with the clinton foundation. looking at the e-mails. what emails ended up where and so there there is movement on that. now we have and my question to you how significant is this that the department of justice is unveiling the trump dossier ultimately possibly giving the public view a look at what may have been the motivation and impetus for the entire mueller investigation to begin with? >> again. i don't understand, particularly under a trump administration, why when the chairman of the intel committee, devon nunes trey

gowdy tom rooney, all these people are wanting this document. they issue a subpoena in august. they shouldn't have to negotiate anything, in my book. but now they are finally getting it and took the speaker of the house to sit down with the senior people at the department of justifiable saying you have to give us this. remember, on the clinton email scandal, that was supposedly a closed case. there is no excuse for not turning over information when it's a closed case. the big issue though is going to be the inspector general. michael horowitz, it doesn't get talked about because he doesn't leak things. he has 450 employees at the department of justice looking under the hood and by the time we get to the end of march, i think he will have a report. that will be the single most definitive. griff: what's under the hood? >> he is independent. he was obama appointee. trey gowdy and myself have spent years working with him. we believe in him. we trust him. and i think he will do a very thorough incredible job. lisa: what a novel concept

not leaking investigation. i didn't know that was possible. >> oh my gosh you are actually doing your job. pete: two prominent senators criminal investigation or prosecution into the author of the dossier. christopher steele. what might they -- what do they have to know in order to make this kind of recommendation? it's a pretty big news. >> so if you have concerns in congress you maybe send a letter. you maybe talk to legislative liaison. ratchet it up and send a subpoena. when you get to the point when you actually make a criminal referral, then you are saying to the department of justice, we have seen the information. we have seen the evidence. we believe there is more than a probable cause to prosecute this crime. and so that is a whole another level. and have you got, you know, attorneys, you know, very seasoned attorney in lindsey graham. you have the chairman of the judiciary committee chuck grassley and they have seen classified information that none of us have seen.

that's a whole another level. very rare actually. pete: not known as partisan bomb throwers. griff: that's the ultimate power of thieves committees. it's very rare to do that and should be a signal that they have seen a lot of information that's yet to come out. griff: interesting. we will see where it goes. griff: thank you very much. lisa: thank you. pete: u.s. putting iran's regime on notice during a u.n. security council meeting over the country's crackdown on protests. several people people are dead after a week of violent demonstrations fueled in part by unhappiness over the country's economy. with the price of basic necessities like food skyrocketing, the price of predom also quite high in the los angeles republic of iran nikki haley says the regime must stop trying to silent protest. >> the iranian people should be heard. it's a fundamental human right. peter: iranian ambassador to

why didn't he run? he done everything right. he was never in any trouble no. suspensions no, jail, no criminal, nothing trying to be a regular kid and go to school. pete: kate stein' finally's famy feels the same way. illegal deported multiple times and has multiple charges. does it feel like justice to you when you see a verdict of time served. >> no. there's no justice. this san francisco and california they are just trying to pay back trump. they probably stacked the prosecution with inept lawyers and probably had a judge -- that's how they do it. they sit there and they make you think they are on your side and they want him to get off. they don't give you a good case. in our case, the guy is on death row but we have to get

rid of two prosecutors and a judge just to get a fair trial because everyone was trying to give me to stop talking about immigration and trying to score after me instead of criminal. illegal alien with three judge charges. and liberals complaining about gun guns dollarss and stuff like that. and protecting illegal with three gun charges. this guy killed somebody on the pier, come on, this is san francisco on the pier. you can't walk on the pier and get shot to death by an illegal and then they let him get off on his case being time served. pete: why is that? why do they they have that slant tourism favoritism toward illegals than a justice testimony that benefits our own citizens. >> they don't like america. can you tell they don't like america. they want to dismantle america. they don't like me because i speak up. you should see my phone and emails. everyone is asking me to be quiet. you are being used by the white man. trump is -- anything but, you know, you are fighting

for your son. i'm pissed off. my son is dead. i haven't got over it he will be dead 10 years in march. and i can't each get people to understand why i'm fighting. so, you have to ignore them. you have to fight for what you believe in. and screw those the nay sayer. the anti-american. pete: powerful words. jamil shaw jr. thank you for speaking truth and for your son's legacy which lives on through you. lisa: thank you, sir. >> thank you. keep up the good work. pete: you got it president trump speaking to minority voters during the election. he said this. >> what do you have to lose by trying something new like trump? pete: well, new numbers show he may have a lot to gain. charles payne breaks it all down for us next. lisa: stay tuned. ♪ g

♪ pete: welcome back. back in 2016, candidate donald trump made a plea to african-american voters. >> look how much african-american communities have suffered under democratic control. to those i say the following: what do you have to lose by trying something new like trump? [cheers] what do you have to lose? lisa: so far so good as unemployment rate black americans lowest since 1972. here breaking down the numbers is host charles payne. >> good morning. lisa: president trump got a lot of criticism when he was on the campaign trail and he had made those comments. we are seeing with the unemployment numbers dropping particularly in the

african-american community, why are we seeing those numbers change? >> well, what we are seeing is the manifestation or the realization that the same tide lifts all ships. the numbers come down for all racial drem demographics but come down sharper the unemployment number for black vehicles in the last year and folks for the lastyear. it's not lining people are leaving the job force. year over year more people entered the labor force. participation rate is up. unemployment number is down sharply. so i think it's the overall economy which is absolutely unpar as witnessed by the stock market. the under pinnings of our economy has come to light big time and benefiting everyone. pete: charles, we are told time and time again there are jobs that americans went do that illegals will do. get our arms around illegal imforeign relation and jobs that weren't available before are available. >> i don't think we have gotten to that point yet. what had you was, you know, if you guys remember there

was a big controversy about businesses being people. i say they are not people but they are organisms. they want to grow and strive and get larger. they didn't do that for eight years. they went into a bunk erpg, a fox hole. we have unleashed the american d.n.a. individuals hey i have an opportunity now or businesses say now i will invest in this country. that cannot be understated. griff: here is my question if you are a black american that didn't vote for president trump or you got job security or a loan or things have gotten better for you, what's your message to them, how sustainable is it? will it last. >> i think it will last. there are other issues. right now economically you feel much better. president trump is delivering for all americans. if you are black specifically you want to see this. you also want to see something on housing. you want to see issues on crime and other issues as well. law and order issues. griff: charles payne, thank you very much: coming up, the president's critics want him banned from twitter. this morning twitter has a response that will make them

#sad. pete: plus dnc deputy chair keith ellison praising antifa in this twitter picture. did he do republicans a big old favor? i think so ♪ i saw the sign ♪ but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness.

while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

pete: i love it the president you saw in the last photo why isn't he wearing a coat? when you are the president of the united states and it's cold outside you don't wear a coat because you are tough. you wouldn't need a coat. lisa: i wouldn't judge him if he needed a coat though because it's been so cold. pete: it's been cold. lisa: speaking of the big agenda that griff was talking about. there is an aggressive agenda that president trump is trying to move through congress in 2018. you have got infrastructure as you mentioned. have you got daca. we also have a spending bill that's coming up on january 19th to keep the government open. but, here, to talk about it all is garrett tenney. garrett, what are we missing? what do we need to know? >> having a good time like talking policy at camp david. that is one of the main purposes of this retreat is to figure out which legislative issues republicans will focus on this year. to do that president trump is huddling with top republicans in congress it this weekend and those meetings kicked off yesterday evening. can you see pics of

discussion here including the president listening to senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. we are told yesterday's topics focused largely on the landscape for the 2018 election. republicans are hoping to keep their majorities in both the house and the senate but ready to face tough battalions to do so on the house side. so leaders have suggested the midterm election also certainly play a role in what their plans are over the next several months. that strategy will also include touting the successes of the administration, including the recently passed tax bill and the booming economy which the president talked about as he departed the white house for camp david. i'm going over with the senators. we are going to camp david. we have a lot of things to work on. a lot of things to accomplish. the stock market is up very, very big today. >> and today the meetings will start with the working breakfast around 8:30 a.m. eastern and pick up again around 11:00 to talk more about policy plans for the year ahead. today's discussion also focus on a number of policy issues the g.o.p. is hoping to tackle this year.

infrastructure, national security, tax policy, next year's budget and daca. and with daca, that almost certainly means they will also be discussing the ongoing negotiation with democrats to pass a spending bill by january 19th to avoid a government shut down. back to y'all. lisa: thanks, garrett. we have the headline right here if you open your failing "new york times" as i do every morning unfortunately, you will see a headline that says. this white house immigration bhandz imperiled bipartisan talk. the print edition i have in front of me say white house demands chill negotiations over migrant policy. they are putting their thumb on the scale and saying it's the white house's problem if this isn't bipartisan because they want a wall and the end of chain migration and end of sanctuary cities calling them hard line immigration measures that jeopardize bipartisan talk. what if you are dug in as defending illegals as your red line and you won't give anything in return ling like the democrats wouldn't you be imperilling bipartisan

talks? lisa: here is the thing, too. president trump ran on immigration. this was at the centerpiece of his campaign. corner stone of his campaign was building a wall. increasing. pete: american people want the wall. it's clear. lisa: this the is leverage president trump has. if you want to get those immigration policies done, those immigration promises that he made to voters done, this is the time -- the time is now. this is with daca. issue is going to come up. giving congress until march to address the daca issue. the time is now. president trump wants to see something like the reyes act which he endorsed put forth by senators cotton and purdue addressing illegal immigration and skilled workforce. if he wants to get that done the time is now. griff: we will see. here is the thing put in context. resisted the president's agenda all year long and he still got tax reform done. it was a huge accomplishment. now we are going forward on issues like immigration, like infrastructure that invite bipartisan that can't

get done with 51 votes, need 60 votes. so we will see if headlines like this and actions by democrats overplay their hand. because of the president has put forth an actual plan. he says. pete: willing to make. will give you daca. pete: here is the thing we cannot ignore on this important frigid saturday morning there's a book. pete: there is a book? lisa: democrats are also in the minority. if they want to get daca done, they also have to give something up to get it done. griff: president working on that. tweeting about the book. this is the overnight tweet you need to see from the president he says about "fire and fury" michael wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. he used slop have steve bannon who cried when he lost his job. now sloppy steve bannon has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. too bad. pete: i don't often i don't

really ever quote the "new york times" if i can avoid it especially maggie haverman who has been in the tank for hillary clinton, i don't know, since she has been writing for the "new york times." she wrote something or said something about this book about how off the mark and untrue this book is. take a listen. >> creates a narrative that is notion alli true. the details are often wrong. can i see several places in the book that are wrong. he gets basic details wrong. he has a history of telling people they are off the record and disregarding that. pete: so when you have got the "new york times" on cnn, it's like double fake news alert. but in this particular case, she is speaking the truth that no one wants to hear which is this is a gossip hearsay book that is meant to take down this administration palace intrigue that everyone wants to talk about as opposed to the accomplishments of this administration when, in actuality, it's terrible reporting based on a lot of things that are just not true. lisa: cbs john dickerson said a while ago the media is ruining their own reputation. i think that's true.

the coverage of this book really underscores that point. the problem is there is no concern for facts anymore. the fact don't matter. as long as something proves a narrative that the media want to believe whether it's sexism, racism, whether it's russian collusion, now president trump is mentally unfit. whatever the issue is, as long as it proves a narrative that is a negative for president trump, the media goes along with it we have seen that with brian -- with abc brian ross' report that was so categorically untrue. had you cnn not too long ago after that messing up a major date which would mean something entirely different for the report. it didn't matter to them though. they ran with the story because they wanted to believe the narrative. the facts didn't matter. and i think we are seeing that with the coverage of this book again. pete: now they are all psychologists diagnose the mental health of the president. take a listen. >> i think dr. lee and other psychiatrists who have been up to meet with members of congress have been predicting increasingly delusional and paranoid

behavior on the part of the president. think the president is dangerous and unable to successfully mete the powers and duties of office. >> we interviewed trump half a dozen times maybe a dozen over the course of the year he would often tell the same stories over and over again. he has issues of mental fitness and questions of intellectual capacity. >> you know trump's father died after having alzheimer's for six years. >> going to talk about that because is he reportedly unraveling over. this he is yelling at staffers. he can't stop watching all the bad press about him. he repeats these terrible things people say. >> over and over again. lisa: i didn't know joy behar was a pathologist. i guess she has a degree i didn't know about. griff: if you look at this book, i haven't read it i was reporting on it yesterday, the gist of the book seemed to be that this revelation that president trump and his team didn't actually want to win it. and a lot of interviews to that effect clearly whether he did or didn't, he certainly wanted it at the end and now he has done all

the things he has done the past year and talking about that agenda. what's fascinating is the media's taking what they want from it. which is aha, the emperor has no clothes ie he is now unstable. fascinating to see because president trump has met criticism with blunt force time and time again. pete: last hour such a great point either is he mentally unfit or totally incommittee tent or the mastermind of the greatest collusion of all time and absolute genius. the media can't decide which one they want and they go with the convenient narrative of the moment to take him down. his list i have seen people bring up issue on twitter. it makes sense. we have seen competing narrative. they contradict with each other. whawhatever the narrative is of the day to undermine the trump administration to somehow pin president trump as incompetent as incapable of leading and meanwhile they don't cover any of the things that would prove that to be untrue whether it's tax reform law that got done, drilling in anwr that

proponents have been trying to do for 40 years. repealing the individual mandate. nowhere are we hearing 'that instead they are running about this narrative about a sensational book that even liberal reporters are saying elements of it are untrue it doesn't matter. they are still running it as truth. right. griff: right. pete: they can't handle what this president has done reset the agenda and resets the agenda every day from his twitter account usually. griff: right. pete: many on the left have taken it to a lot centers around his threat about north korea and he has a nuclear button and it's bigger and works and kim jong un's doesn't. there has been petitions to twitter to block the president's twitter account as a reaction to that so, there has been calls online. twitter responded to this idea that you would block the president of the united states' twitter account very reasonably. they said. this blocking a world leader from twitter or removal their controversial tweets would hide important information people should be able to see and debate it would also not silence that leader but it would certainly hamper necessary

discussion around their words and actions. once again from the left, if they don't like speech, rather than engage it or debate it they want to shut it down. kudos to twitter to not do that. griff: did not mention president trump by name. doesn't mention. pete: mahmoud ahmadinejad or iran if they are worried about violent statements. lisa: critics say president trump is this authoritarian dictator but yet shut down his ability, his access to free speech and his first amendment right to be able to tweet out what he wants and to communicate with twitter users and to voters. so, again, these contradictory narratives that we are seeing from critics on the left and some from the media. griff: not just critics. pete: the left you mean the media? lisa: be partisan a little bit. griff: he has said time and time again that he wanted to speak over that media, that has been so nasty to him and speak directly to his base. but the thing whether he

intended to or not is he has found a way to create headlines within that biased media operation in and of itself. and that is the protest, i think, they are like look, we have got to shut it down because is he creating the headlines. pete: disrupted their news cycle. he makes the news. let us know friends@foxnews.com. did twitter make the right call? lisa: yeah, what do you think? pete: let us know. nancy pelosi she called the republican tax bill, you remember, this armageddon. but are $3,000 bonuses really the end of the world for those who received them? one ceo who is handing out cash to his employees thanks to the president joins us next. griff: plus fixer-upper stars chip and joanna gaines announcing fifth child. why are they being bullied ♪ i just want to feel this moment ♪ mom's got this cold

year without talented employees within the organization. so, we salse share with our employees. give you an example 85ers 'of our employees received an abonus in addition to their salary. dollar for dollar up to 7% match on the 401(k). in addition a 3% additional kicker in the 401(k) last year which we will be doing this year as well. this was a natural extension of sharing the results your employees. griff: how many. >> 685 of our 700 employees. pete: got a $3,000 bonus. >> got a $3,000 bonus. $3,000 bone. lisa: also increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour. businesses were not going to break down breaks to employees. my question to you is this going to last in terms of employer passing savings down to employees with the reduction of the tax rate, et cetera? >> coming at it from a business standpoint. we don't live in a one.

we compete every day. the competition for customers, the competition for employees is real. we want to attract the best people. we have a very talented workforce. so i absolutely believe that the competition for labor, the competition for skilled people that have the kind of people on the business result is going to be higher and higher. as a result of this it, you know, as an organization we are not going to ignore that the tax went from 35 to 22. pete: nay sayers will say okay now a tax bill will help you line your pockets and make your executives more wealthy but you are probably not going to raise wages and high more people you will just get richer. what is it inside the culture of a company that says no, i want to invest in people so that i can grow my business? >> if you look at before this tax bill, the federal tax rate and the state tax rate on average, u.s. companies paid 39%. compared to about 22% on average the rest of the world. we compete on the world stage. we have had to build into the cost of our product the

fact that we are paying that higher tax rate. it's not just employees, customers, consumers going to benefit from this as well. as i said we don't live in a bubble. we are going to want to right more business and attract more customers and employees. lives his real quick does deregulation play into that as well? i don't think we have a lot of time but. >> to a certain extent. i look at it as the playing field is now being leveled. before we were handicapped as a u.s. company we were handicapped competing with other companies. griff: we have to leave it there, bill cunningham thank you so much. kudos to your 700 employees. pete: it and t insurance group. it's happening again, shockingly, and the espn host attacking president trump and not mincing words. >> trump always does this in his thing. >> that's because he is a [bleep] that's because he a [bleep] stupid person. pete: i don't know it about you but i like when espn does sports. >> her punishment has crying foul. that's not all. dnc chair keith ellison

[screams] >> oh [bleep] me. griff: those passengers inside a west jet flight that had just landed toronto airport in from cancun. stationary plane struck by empty aircraft moving back from the gate. passengers evacuated by sliding down emergency

slides. fortunately nobody was hurt. president trump's administration working to deliver on yet another promise. secretary of state rex tillerson tellings associated press they are trying to fix the iran nuclear deal urging congress the u.s. law concerning certification. goal to come up with changes that president trump will find reason enough to keep america in the pact. the president must decide next week whether to certify tehran's compliance with the deal which would continue granting economy relief from years old u.s. sanctions pete? pete: that will be a big move. the dnc deputy chair signaling outrage for signaling support for the violent antifa movement. keith ellison tweeting this selfie, he did it himself, with appear antifa handbook saying this: i just found the book that strikes fear in the heart of president trump. so, did ellison do republicans a favor by proudly touting the violent far left group? here to debate democratic

strategist michael star hopkins and fox news political analyst john nell caldwell. michael. i will start with you. there is not much left to interpretation when you take a selfie of the book antifa. that is as much as an endorsement as you could garner yet we have seen what antifa has done. they have talked about violence, justifying violence in pursuit of what they believe in. how is this good for the democratic party? >> yeah, i will be honest and say it's not. i like keith ellison. i think he has been a good congressman but i think this was a stupid move. this is exactly why whether you are a republican or a democrat, why people hate politics right now. the tone and at the present nor has gotten so bad. everybody wants to be a twitter troll and joke and make funnel of everyone. i think it's just bad for the democratic process as a hole. pete: acknowledgment to that discourse today bowing to the worse impulses of your base which have turned violent is a bad thing. >> well, surprising, michael and i agree early saturday

morning. [laughter] >> absolutely. interestingly enough with 37% of the american people viewing the democratic party unfavorablely only way in a quarter -- lowest in the quarter of a century only way to lower that percentage is to queen sweep endorse antifa. this is problematic for anyone to do such a thing. a group declared by many of our government agencies as a domestic terrorist group and the person like keith ellison who should know better but who has endorsed radical opinions before, for example, he named one leader who on the left he said that the leader on the left in particular said that hitler was actually a good guy. oso this isn't surprising for him that the democratic party should be coming out debucking what keith had said and we haven't it. this has actually taken him down further. this is really problematic for the left.

pete: michael, what does truly the democratic party stand for. we know what they resist. what will they bring to voters and say this is truly what we're for. >> democrats need to be for increasing wages. we need to make sure that people have basic things like food in their fridge, that schools more affordable. accountability within the government. democrats have a lot of work to do to make sure our message is strong. we do have a winning message. we can't get distracted by things like this. pete: food in your fridge that's great. but what inside sort of the more government control, higher taxes, bernie sanders talks about democratic socialism. what does that do to actually put food in the fridge. >> i think having access to hurricane and good jobs. being able to have affordable living wage. those are all democratic ideas which improve the life of every single american. i think, you know, reacting to twitter is something that distraction everyone away from what the real kitchen table issues are. pete: we have seen wages

increase unemployment in the black community as well under this president what is the president delivering on all the things michael has just talked about. >> that's what i was about to say. michael, those used to be democratic principles. they used to believe in that but now they have no message. the fact of the matter is president trump, whether we like his tweets or not his record in the first year has been one of success. i mean, you can go after every single tweet, of course, when you look at up employment down to his lowest point since the 1970s in the african-american community. that's a winning message for president trump and the republican party. in addition to passing tax reform first year which took reagan in his second year. this is a really pretty good record. i don't think at this point democrats had any message to go against that so for democrats at this point they are still trying to find their footing. i think it's going to be even more difficult considering the republicans actually have been delivering on promises made

during the 2016 election. pete: michael gianno, that was entirely civil discussion this morning. >> absolutely. pete: starts with agreeing on the fact that tweeting anything with steve is a bad idea. thank you for your time. >> have a great morning. thank you. pete: happening again, espn host attacking president trump. not talking about sports, instead, talking about politics. >> trump always does this in his thing. >> that's because he is a [bleep] -- that's because is he a [bleep] stupid person. pete: i don't know what that back tropic is, if that's espn and host tough times. going soft on her punishment. we will bring that to you. brand new signs this morning -- is that a real picture? kim jong un could be going for the gold. we're going to explain that him and putin love riding horses. at least kim jong un kept his shirt on ♪ pump it up a little more ♪ get the party going on the dance floor

necessary. >> this isn't going in my book, listen, i talked with president trump's pollster john mcglorify lynn about some of the claims in this book. he said it is categorically false that steve bannon was the only one thought trump could win. he and others working on the campaign were having conference calls with jared kushner about, listen, we are expanding the electoral map. the gap between these candidates is narrowing. we have a really great shot at this. john told me his firm, they stopped polling in ohio a week before election day because they were getting such great numbers. sunday before election day, they were on a conference call talking about we can really win this thing. and he said, quote: trump busted his butt to barn storm more states because it was looking so good. pete: are they willing to so-called journalists willing to lower their standards because it fits their narrative. >> because it fits their narrative. because it sells books. gets us talking like we are on the dowch right now.

are basically political groups rather than labor organizing groups. most people aren't in unions anymore but the people who are there are subject to a set of rules that says that the unions can take their money and use it for what the unions call representational purposes. representational purposes for some reason includes giving away millions of dollars a year to planned parenthood, to giving to the clinton foundation, which has 400 million of it own money. giving it to the democratic governor's association. despite the fact that about 40% of union members vote republican unions get away with it because there is no rule against it. pete: how do they keep getting away with it we saw in this election blue collar workers, voted for president trump. a republican. how long can they get away with giving exclusively to the left while members are supportive of a republican? >> the proud thing is you have got to change the law there is a bill in congress called employee rights act

strip at mandalay bay hotel staff. steven paddock reportedly received normal service before the october ambush. that hotel has faced criticism for not noticing anything unusual. lisa: the nfl wrapping up the season with some of the worst ratings in recent history. viewership down 10% for the regular season compared to just last year. pete: this season was, of course, filled with players protesting the national anthem by taking a knee. but as the season wraps up and playoffs start today, has the league learned its lesson? pete: here to discuss it is legendary coach lou holtz. you need to introduction, coach. it is an honor to have you here. what do you make about what has happened with the nfl ratings this year? >> well, they've gone down 10% this year. they were down 8% last year. as i understand it, the nfl said the reason for that is some of our stars were injured. in addition to that that there is too much exposure. they have gone from thursday night football. the fans are getting

saturated with it i took my wife to mayo clinic yesterday. she is having some health problems. the first thing about solving a problem you have to anticipate and diagnose the problem accurately. for example, if you don't diagnose a problem accurately, can you never really solve it i think the problem is that the fans are tuning them out because when they tune in football, they want to see the free society work. there is nothing about politics. there is nothing with the officials. it's all about who is going to be the most productive. i don't think that they have really anticipated what the actual problem is. and until they get to that situation, you cannot solve a problem until you identify it. pete: coach, can they do that? espn has seen its ratings drop as well hosts can't resist but get political. it seems straightforward that the nfl address this anthem issue and maybe let the players play the game and it might return. do you think they can get ahead of it going into next season or into the playoffs? >> i think they can. but i do think they have to address the problem where people are showing disrespect for the flag.

now, i don't disagree that they have an awful lot of complaints. football is not the place to do that. when you show disrespect for the flag, you kneel down during the national anthem and stand for the national anthem of england, that does upset the people and cause you to say wait a minute, what's going on? lisa: lou, phil, happy birthday because it's your birthday today. >> you are the first one to wish me a happy birthday. i went to bed early last night. i want to go to bed while i'm still young. but also my birthday candles cost more than the cake. thank you for thinking of me. lisa: we will keep your wife in our player prayers, sir u my question for you is if you could sit down with some these players using the football field to protest, what would you tell them? >> i would sit down and say, let's really doing something that we can make a difference. approximately 400,000 words in the english language. the most important word by far is choice. let's get in the inner

cities and teach younger people to make better choices. let's make the changes we can we can't do everything. we can't do all things but we can do something. as i used to say to our football team all the time and i say to this country of we aren't where we want to be, we aren't where we ought to be. weave actor where we should be and aren't where we would be thank god we aren't where we used to be there are some things wrong. but we have also done a lot of the good things. let's be constructive and help younger people. griff: coach, real quick. you started this segment by talking about people want to know about football not politics. that's why the nfl has lost 10% of its ratings its. we got to know since we have got you, who is going to win the national championship in college football? >> well, the college football writers, there were seven of them predicted who would win the game. six of them picked the university of alabama. and i can say why they do that. nick saban is going to be going up against kirby smart who was assistant coach. nick saban faced assistant coach 11 times he has won all 11.

average margin is 14 points. not this time. georgia will win this football game. i firmly believe that in the bottom of my heart. i have think when you look at it, they have got a great running game. they also have a very very good defense. jake from the freshman quarterback has been fantastic. he wasn't each supposed to play. last year a man by the name of jacob ease stan his dad darryl easeston played football for me at notre dame. he set all the records last year. gets injured in the first game. they go up against georgia and put in jake from from and like wally fip saying i don't feel good today let lou gehrig play in my place. pete: over decades ago it was rumored you were going to be head coach of minnesota vikings. do you think my team can finally do it after 50 years of futility? >> what's really amazing there are four teams that have been to the super bowl two teams been to the super bowl four times and lost all four the buffalo bills and the minnesota vikings. i think the vikings have a great chance. this is the first time that

i think the home team has an excellent chance to play in the super bowl. the reason they are the number two seed. open date. philadelphia is number one seat. however philadelphia lost starting quarterback carson wentz. i think minnesota is going to play both games at home. when they win both games which they are very capable of doing i think they can win the super bowl. here is the amazing thing. the quarterback got injured and trade for sam bradford he gets injured and you go with case. and he leads you into victory. griff: coach, did he give you an early birthday present? you are pandering him-to-him and the minnesota vikings. we have to leave it there, coach. happy birthday,. pete: appreciate it, coach. >> thank you for having me. griff: still ahead, president trump firing back at critics this morning for questioning his mental fittedness. dr. sebastian gorka says the media is suffering from trump delusion syndrome. he joins us next. pete: it's a real thing.

we will build the wall. that, i can tell you. >> we will build a great wall along the southern border. pete: well, that was president trump both as a candidate and as president about his commitment to building the wall and we're at a moment right now where that may or may not happen. we will bring in dr. sebastian garr can a, fox news contributor deputy assistant to president trump. doctor, thank yous for being here. one signature from the president in his first year if he said he is going to do it he is probably going to do it. do you have any down or concern that as part of this daca conversation the president will get his border wall? >> good morning, guys. happy epiphany. happy 12th day after christmas. i know it's shocking to have a politician who makes promises during a campaign and then who keeps them but that's donald trump. and one thing i can assure you is that wall will be built. it was the first stanive policy platform of candidate

trump remember when senator sessions was the first man, first senator to endorse the president. that endorsement was central to the whole immigration platform of candidate trump's campaign. and, you have seen his recent tweets. it's happening. the prototypes are being built by the department of homeland security. and he knows that he was elected in part to secure this nation from illegal migration and the wall is essential to that promise. griff: but dr. gorka you see headlines in the "new york times" white house immigration demands imperil bipartisan talks for the first time democrats clearly do have a little bit of leverage in this. they need to possibly to get to 60. if they tie daca and immigration to the spending bill we could be heading for a government shut down come this deadline on january 19th. you were in the white house you know how this works. are they prepared to let the government get shut down and does this really help this process? >> look, all i know is that we have one side in this,

the democrat party that still does not understand what happened on november the 8th last year. cannot internalize it. that is talking about mental competency issues in ways that are absolutely outrageous. they are the ones who need mental health help from medical professionals. on the other side we have the man who wrote the book on the art of the deal. and look what he has done in the last 11 months. whether it's revitalizing nato, seeing astolenning astonig economy. 2 million jobs created. this is a man who will not be stopped. is he like a steam locate molocate mowive and mac truck. they will pay the price. pete: white house demands chill the negotiations over migrant policy. so why is it always the demands of republicans that are going to undermine bipartisan as opposed to the demands to protected illegals as the really big

card that the left is playing? >> yeah. one of the rules of d.c. politics is whatever the left accuse the right of doing is in fact what they are doing themselves. look at all the stories in the last year. whether it's obstructionism from the left that's really happening out of the dnc, whether it's russian collusion accused against the trump campaign, but it's really hillary clinton with a fusion gps, with the uranium one deal. great rule of thumb, whatever the dems say reverse it 180 and you will have the truth. lisa: dr. gorka, i've got to get your thoughts on this. right now there is this narrative, obviously president trump is mentally unfit, which is what the media is pushing. he didn't want to win the election. but, we have that narrative simultaneously with the narrative that president trump weighs colluding with the russians to win the election. >> right. lisa: your thoughts from competing narratives. >> michael wolff the author

of this book "fire and fury" is a political hack. i said it, michael. come get me. he is a liar. this man is a fabulousist. his book is as factual truth grounds in it as harry potter. the fact is i love the fact that president trump is living rent-free in the minds of these people. let him tweet as much as he wants to. the left is deluded. the great things is the american people see through it when that paycheck lands in february you know what? they will be happy they are getting more money thanks to tanks reform. we have the elite live in little my larr coated bubble. when anderson cooper is happy to get 700,000 viewers overnight, you know cnn, the "new york times," "the washington post" they're an irrelevancy to america.

today. the president at camp david to talk about all of the important things going to get done for the country, but yet taking a moment through twitter, through his medium that he has spoken directly to this country, he's sick of what's going on in washington that inside washington swamp as he calls it calling him mentally unfit is becoming a chorus because of this book written by gossip journalist but the president all morning long absolutely pushing back as we've been talking against these challenges that he is unfit somehow mentally, let us just read one of them on the air real quick, geraldo. that's this one. now that russian collusion after one year of intense study has proven to be a total hoax on the american public, the democrats and their lap dogs the fake news mainstream media are taking up the old ronald reagan play book and screaming mental stability and intelligence actually throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like really

smart. crooked hillary clinton also played these cards very hard and as everyone knows, went down in flames. i went from very successful businessman to top tv star to president of the united states on my first try, he notes. i think that would qualify as the not smart but genius in a very stable genius at that, geraldo your thoughts? geraldo: well, i spoke with the president yesterday and it was in line with the tweets that he sent out this morning. he's extremely frustrated as a very smart person someone i've known for 40 years. someone who graduated with honor s from wharton school of business from the university of pennsylvania, a person who built the multi billion dollar business and who did attain the highest office in the world on his first attempt. he is very very frustrated that this line is getting any traction. it really is getting traction back to your point griff about the russian collusion, as the russia controversy and the

collusion allegations fade with the lack of proof of anything meaningful having happen. there seems to be in the president is frustrated about it a grasping for something to nail him on something to criticize him for, and they've seized on this absolutely absurd mental capacity and the thing that is so very very frustrating to him and i think it should be to the entire country is that michael wolff can make statements in this book like 100% of the people around the president think he lacks the emotional and intellectual capacity. how could 100% of his own family and friends is ridiculous. pete: to your point take a listen to michael wolff. >> according to your reporting, everyone around the president, senior advisors, family members, every single one of them questions his intelligence and fitness for office. >> 100% of the people around him >> he's like a pinball, just

shooting off the side. pete: 100% geraldo. geraldo: is absolutely outrageous. 100% of his family. so here is an author who claims that somebody in the inner circle called ivanka dumb as a brick, so he's attacking the children. he's attacking the family and now he's saying that those very same family members that he is attacking believe the president is unfit for office? it it is so frustrating and so intellectually dishonest. you know, they are now the investigative reporters from the washington post last night are looking at that book page by page. pete: of course. geraldo: in one single page they found three errors. three very important factual errors in a single page and as they go through they will find dozens more. at one point after finding all those errors, you begin to question the basic premise of the book. lisa: and geraldo staying on

that topic you've been a journalist for decades here and we've seen massive missteps as of late with abc, cnn as you just mentioned there's already been numerous parts of this book that have been debunked and proven to be untrue. do you worry about the profession? geraldo: you know, i really do. like brian ross said, he's a terrific reporter one of the true great investigators. the problem comes when you watch these people, particularly some of the other cable news networks you see that there is, they are so far down the road toward condemning this president as wreckless and incompetent that there is no fact, there is no revelation that will sway them from that course. they are committed now to seeing destruction or the ridicule of the 45th president. they are so invested emotionally , morally, professionally, that they just can't turn around even as

there's the first criminal referral in the russia-gate probe and who is it? it's christopher steel the author of the dossier who senses grassley and graham have now referred to the doj for a criminal probe. you know, let's get real here and give this person the president of the united states a break but treat him as fairly as anybody. pete: you're talking about fair reporting. one of those outlets that has a headline that caught our eye is newsweek, used to be a publication so now it's only online. here is the full stream of what the publication had to say. trump impeachment odds have risen thanks to fire & fury. is this not the real underlying desire of the left and their lack of in the media? they want to build a case. it was collusion and new it's mental in competence aren't they looking for any shred they can? geraldo: absolutely pete and you have a situation where you want to get the guy. you want to cripple him.

you want to weaken him. you don't like his policies. you don't like where he stands on immigration or muslim refugees. you pick the topic with which you disagree with the president, so what do you do with the remedy? do you propose an alternate policy, a situation or alternative for the president are you going to be the other side to the president? no what you do is attack his basic character, his emotional and mental fitness. the president was so bright and smart and on point to invoke the way people were slandering ronald reagan toward the end of his presidency as being mentally unfit, having in capacity, talking about the 25th amendment to replace him temporarily when he recovers. lisa: are these working? geraldo: you know, i hope not, lisa, but you know when you keep having this erosion, it's just like saltwater hitting a pier. it doesn't have an immediate effect but over time they're

hoping it rots and it collapses. it's not going to happen. look at the economy and what's happening to the country. look at domestically in an objective appraisal of how we are doing. i think we are doing just fine and i think this president is spot on point but as long as this noise exists, as long as these attacks persist that's what people will focus on. >> griff: you know a lot about water hitting piers. president trump as i started asking, he's using twitter to absolutely push back full on frontal pushback and you know, twitter there's a story out there that we've been talking about a little bit. i don't know if the president talked about this when you spoke with him but twitter there's calls for twitter to ban the president's twitter handle and i need to put up quickly a statement from twitter where they say blocking the world leader from twitter or removing their controversial tweets would hide important information people should be able to see and debate. it would also not file that leader but certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.

calls to ban the president's twitter did he bring this up with you? geraldo: no, he didn't speak about his twitter which i think and have written is sometimes counter productive. i think the president in the big picture griff and i'll get back to twitter specifically, in the big picture, the president is frustrated and he wants to get his message out and he understands that his perhaps over reaction to the publication of the michael wolff book with the cease and assist threats and so forth added more fuel to the fire and attracted more attention as it often does to the controversy than perhaps he should have gone down that road, but in terms of twitter. as i use the word it's a better word than wreckless but as the president can sometimes be on twitter emotional and spontaneous, i believe that that is a very very effective method for him to speak directly to the

people of the united states and to the world at large where he gets it out in an unfiltered way 90% of them are spot on and sometimes he goes a tweet too far, but you know those early morning you wake up and oh, okay well how can that person say this about me? but i really do believe that he has honed social media to one of the most effective direct communications. it's not through our filter, it's the president directly to the people, you know the american people and to the audience and to the foreign leaders with which he has a beef look at the north korean situation. his tweets about rocket man and fire & fury and all the rest of those kinds of statements, what's the bottom line? the bottom line is that north korea rather than being repelled and becoming more aggressive and more wreckless in their foreign policy, shooting off more nukes and having military drills what's happened instead is that north korea hearing from the president of the united states about don't you dare has now

open talks with south korea and now they're cooperating on the olympics and other things so the president's point and this is a point that he did make is look at what he has accomplished in terms of his deeds. not these words. words, you know, when provoked and the president i've known him for 40 years, i understand how he can react and sometimes over react but look at what he's done in terms of the measured steps he has taken in office totally within the bounds of a moderate republican conservative president and totally traditional in what he does. pete: but everyone else can't handle the different take he has and outside the box way in which he conducts himself and that drives them crazy to react to that. geraldo rivera thank you so much for joining us. lisa: thank you for the flowers. geraldo: happy new year. >> griff: still ahead, he's the author of the infamous dirty trump dossier and now congress wants the doj to investigate him are criminal charges next for

christopher steel? we'll ask florida congressman ron desantis. pete: and the nfl ratings take a huge hit after protests dominate the regular season so has the league finally learned its lesson? well the man who killed osama bin laden rob o'neill i saw him in the green room and he's ready to respond. ♪ she was like oh, my god this is my song listen to the radio all night long ♪

i'm a fuzzy, yellow tennis ball dangling from a string to help you park safely in your garage. it's part of my new year's resolution: no more mayhem. making sure your car is pulled in far enough... but not too far. ♪

pete: welcome back. well two gop senators calling on the justice department to open a criminal investigation into christopher steel. you'll remember he's the author of the controversial and poorly sourced trump dossier. >> griff: senators chuck grassley and lindsay graham referring steel to the just us department saying there are potential violations regarding

inconsistencies he made in statements provided to authorities. lisa: and here with reaction is congressman and florida candidate ron desantis. hi, congressman. >> good morning, you guys must be cold up there because it is cold in central florida. lisa: oh, it is very very cold outside. pete: we don't feel bad for you you're in florida you'll be fine soon. lisa: first off, what's your response to this referral by senator grassley and senator graham? >> i think it's significant and we don't know exactly which statements because they have a classified attachment basically provided to rosenstein, they're working to declassify or redact any sensitive stuff so that could be made public but this all goes to how did this investigation into this collusion begin with law enforcement? what was christopher steel's role, who was he working within the justice department or the fbi people like bruce ohr who was a high justice department

official and whose wife worked for fusion gps who commissioned steel to do the dossier and i think the issue could be that on the one hand we know this was paid for by the democratic party it was effectively discredited opposition research but it was actively being shopped to all these media outlets during the campaign and it is anti-trump as almost all media outlets were none of them bid on it. pete: great point. >> yet at the same time it's very possible and i think we're going to get these answers very soon that while the media was rejecting printing this stuff that information from that dossier was actually used to get a surveillance warrant at a fisa court against an american citizen associated with trump's campaign so i think this is significant because it's going to tell us more information about the dossier. >> griff: congressman of course the inference that fisa warrant led to the ultimately the mueller investigation but i want to ask you specifically senator dianne feinstein said there's nothing to this. this is just a distraction to

the larger mueller investigation >> well we've been hearing things like that ever since we learned several months ago how this dossier was created, that it was of political opposition research. we didn't know that before and now we know and that's because of people like devon nunes and others in the house who have been demanding these answers. fusion gps didn't want to admit this, they had to be subpoenaed. you had people with fusion take the fifth so now people realize the dossier is an issue and everybody is trying to minimize it who has been furthering this trump russia narrative. we're going to get the 100% truth on this very shortly and there's nothing i've seen that leads me to believe that it's going to be anything other than something that's very troubling. pete: and if you think about it this goes from an investigation into so-called russia collusion into now what's turned into investigation into collusion on the democratic side to take down president trump. you say we'll know soon. i think a lot of the american people feel like man its been a year i've been hearing about russia russia russia.

how soon and when could all of this wrap up and we identify and get to the bottom? >> so finally, the fbi and doj has met the deadline that congress imposed. that stuff is going to be provided this coming week and i don't know how much it is but obviously people are going to be going through that particularly on the intelligence committee so i think the answer is about the dossier. i think the answer is about the surveillance, i think all of that is going to be in congress' hands very very soon and then the question is if there's accountability that needs to happen, it needs to go and people like jeff sessions have to be engaged in that. if you have an fbi agent whose misusing his authority because he wanted to stop donald trump from being president, we need to know that and that person needs to be held accountable. >> griff: congressman we have to go and threw so much. good luck on that race down there we look forward to hearing how that's going. >> thanks a lot. pete: should people who get unemployment benefits be drug tested first? the trump administration could make it happen.

we'll debate it next. >> and brand new signs this morning kim jong-un could be going for gold. he's on a horse, his shirt is on unlike vladimir putin we'll bring that to you next. ♪

pete: welcome back, to fox & friends thanks for being here. news by the numbers first one democrat that's congressman of oregon the first probably not the last to announce he will boycott president trump's state of the union address on january 30. instead he says he will work from home, that's what we all say we're going to do is stay home. next 30, 200 how many traveler's cell phones were searched by border patrol agents in 2017. that number jumping more than 60 % since the year before this

as homeland security issues limitations on border searches for smartphones and tablets. finally, 93 below is the last observed wind chill on mount washington in new hampshire the air temperature, 37 below with wind gusts of up to 100 miles an hour. kids were climbing mount washington put on an extra pair of gloves. >> griff: lisa over to you. lisa: thanks pete and the trump administration is looking to bank hack a role that congress appealed last year. this as unemployment benefits claims are at a 17-year record low decreasing by thousands during trump's first year in office. so what does this mean for taxpayers and those looking to hire new employees? here to debate it is republican strategist chris fruitholm, and former candidate for dnc chair jim green. hi guys thanks for joining us. >> hi. lisa: so should unemployment benefits are meant to serve as a handout, to help get someone to a place until they're gainfully

employed. is it making sure someone's not on drugs a good place to start? >> well i think that we need to look at what the results of the similar policies of states that have passed these policies across the country have found and the evidence is just not there lisa. lisa: but what's wrong with it on its face though? do you have an issue with making sure that taxpayers aren't supporting individuals who are on drugs or making it somehow contingent on ensuring someone's not on drugs? what's wrong with it on its face >> it's not smart policy. lisa: why not? >> we have the evidence from that. in this world of polarized politics we're living in i get when everything falls on a partisan level but this is an area where we actually have results from many states that have implemented these policies and what we've learned is you don't save money. the population that you're actually testing has a lower drug usage rate than the rest of the country, and so what exactly

is the point here? are we drug testing industries that get subsidies? are we drug testing any company that gets tax credits? i do think there's also a discriminatory aspect of this here. but when it comes down to it, it's just not smart policy. lisa: chris i want to get you on here, is it smart policy into what do you say to jamil? >> what's not smart policy is allowing children to grow up and see opportunities limited in their family's growth obviously looking at drugs. these children should be able to grow up in prosperous environments learning they can do whatever they're able to do and being in environments with prosperity. this is why it doesn't matter if it's ten, five, one state they should be drug tested. welfare i'm all for helping those who need help, all for supporting those in times needed absolutely but we have to do is not crutch and not allow people to be on drugs that are on welfare. any type of drug use is certainly wrong and you surely should not be doing it with

taxpayer's dollars. lisa: another aspect of this reportedly is the department of labor opening it up to more employers or in different industries can test their employees to make sure they're not on drugs so we know that high schoolers for athletes can be tested for drugs even middle schoolers, what do you make of that? are you on board with giving employers the ability to test their employees and make sure that they can do their job correctly? >> absolutely and i think when we look at this issue of whether it is supplemental benefits or unemployment benefits that are being given out simply on a drug test, it comes down to the fact that this population, to hear all of the conversation about making sure that they're not using drugs seems to indicate that there's a larger problem within this community with drug usage and that's just not the case. we know we are facing a huge

drug crisis in this country and to single out one portion of the population that is already struggling in a way that doesn't actually get to it. lisa: i want to get to chris because we're running out of time but it's not just that population chris as i mentioned there are numerous professions that require drug testing. middle school athletes and high school athletes could be tested for drugs, so i mean what do you make of what jamil just said? >> so here is the other thing. you have to go to work and earn money and be drug tested so of you get free money from the taxpayers you should absolutely be drug tested this is ridiculous. lisa: hold on we will run out of time. >> it has nothing to do with discriminating or classes, cultures i don't care if you're black, white, green it does not matter. what's wrong is wrong. drug usage is wrong and should not be using taxpayer's dollars to use it and time for people to start taking responsibility for themselves and being more engaged. this is about building up a country with people that can be

prosperous and you can not be as a child if you're seeing your environment around you with violence, domestic issues, and drug uses. lisa: we'll have to end it there because we're running out of time. thank you both we really appreciate you joining us this morning. have a great day, thank you. >> thank you. lisa: well chip and joanna gaines just announced they are expecting their fifth child this is so cute i love this so why are they being bullied on social media for the news? plus here we go again an espn host attacking president trump and not holding back take a listen. >> trump always does this, so -- [bleep ] -- >> that's because he's a stupid person. lisa: what do you think her punishment was a slap on the wrist. rob o'neill the man who killed osama bin laden here to react, stay tuned. as pete tackles him. >> [laughter] pete: keep him on his toes.

>> i don't think that i have any i don't have concerns, i create them. pete: [laughter] and yet another amazing quote from james mattis. well we've got rob o'neill here the navy seal who killed bin laden, he's a quotable guy that the troops love, talk to us about that. >> griff: he's one of the few people that actually is serving

leading at war and there are quotes on the wall about him. i've seen general mattis and probably stan mccrystal, you're serving with people you know are destined for greatness. pete: and that's what you want. you want confidence and the belief that we're not worried about folks. we keep people up at night. >> griff: that's exactly what it is. general mattis is one of the people you'd get in trouble for not killing enough often eany. >> wasn't that bill worry why didn't you kill more of them? lisa: how much do enemies fear him? i don't think enough. i don't think you can fear him enough. he's a very serious guy. he's one of the people that is like well why aren't you married well if i was going to get married the marine corps would have issued me a wife. pete: [laughter] lisa: didn't you say to show up and have a plan to kill everyone hopefully that's not the case here rob. >> he carries a knife because he might run into some cake or might need to stab someone in the neck. it's kind of i love the guy. >> griff: to move to the story here in the homeland and that is

of course the document orlando nightclub shooter's wife knew her husband was going to shoot up orlando nightclub when he killed 49 people back in 2016. here you go, you see omar mateen what do you make of this, the pulse shooter's wife knew about it and didn't say anything? >> he was showing her the nightclub, this is my target. this is what i'm going to do. she watched him load the magazines for the weapons. she was with him when he was buying the weapons. when he left he told her, she knew everything he was going to do. this is the one day he said to his wife when he left. she knew it was happening. pete: does this surprise you at all? >> not at all. i think if they're to the point of jihad they're submissive to the husband which is how they roll. it doesn't excuse her and she's going to do everything she can from the religion to post traumatic stress disorder she will get charged with it. she knew this was happening, where it was going to happen and when. pete: a dry run if you will. she did the dry run.

>> yes driving him around. in the car with him and she knew exactly what he was up to. it's horrible. of course. >> griff: 49 people dead and all he said was how upset do you think people will be after this? upset? 49 lives. pete: i think common sense tells us if your wife or your husband knows what you're going to do and you kill 50 people you're almost as guilty as the guy who pulled the trigger. i think so if you're part, there's no eccuses. lisa: rob i want to get your take on another topic. so we've seen espn's katie nolan went after president trump take a listen to this and then we want your thoughts. >> so trump always does this in his thing. >> [bleep ] >> [laughter] lisa: back it up. back it up. >> that's because he's a [bleep ] stupid person. lisa: what happens when companies like espn they don't do anything. >> bear with me because it didn't stop there max kellerman

also went on to why they should not accept the white house, quick listen. >> they're making a grave error and are on the wrong side of history, and i want to be very clear about this. this has nothing to do with where on the political spectrum you fall left or right. nothing. it's not being about being progressive or conservative or a democrat or republican, or winning or losing elections. that's not what this is about. i say what i say because what has gone on in this administration is abnormal and must not be normalized. you do not normalize this behavior with white house visits , period. pete: am i watching espn or msnbc? lisa: should espn normalize that behavior though? >> they can't help themselves there's so much in my mind right now. yeah it is abnormal because the dow is above 25,000 and guess what it's going to be a record for a few days because on monday it's going to be higher. they pes remaking such a,

doesn't matter whose in the office you respect the white house that's what it is. when you get invited to the white house you respect the office. i served under president clinton , bush, obama and it should be country first. for some reason they're month lit sizing everything. the astros should go to the white house when invited and president trump should take the advantage to extend the olive branch and try to bring people together but you have this ridiculous stuff. the thing with katie nolan, making a name for herself. she's not suspended yet but what she said was a slur. she insulted handicapped people and i was able to read her lips when she said the first time when she corrected herself by saying the f word and something else. the thing i have about her though is not in so much talking bad about president trump or the white house. she bad mouthed tom brady and called him something regardless of that stuff i'm a football fan you win five super bowls brady has he's not an idiot. lisa: this is a double for you going after tom brady. >> i'm a redskins fans but you

start bad mouthing tom brady. >> griff: and we talked earlier and we talked a lot about things here, but the drop in the nfl ratings, do you think that this stuff on espn really cuts in the fact as pete was saying earlier that people just want to watch the game. they do and they don't want to hear what someone on espn says about politics. they're not interested what they have to say. they're successful people there but keep politics out of it and talk about sports and in the nfl you're seeing bad leadership. look what the mlb did during the world series bringing police officers from la and sang the national anthem. everyone stood up because they require it. goodell is not doing a good job. i mean, he was good enough to give himself a monster raise horrible leadership. pete: rob you're all over the map in the nfl, defending tom brady, a redskins fan and also in my home state blowing the horn for the minnesota vikings. you are not a vikings fan. >> i tell you what i'm picking

the vikings this year. pete: this is rob o'neill kicking off the game. lisa: [laughter] pete: come on that's like a bucket list. how cool is that? >> that was so cool doing that and that was neat is that video you're watching that my wife, we were both nervous because my friend was singing the national anthem and not a single player there either team took a knee. the vikings haven't taken a knee at once. i'm all vikings this year. i think they will take it. pete: and they told you, they told you that if they make it you're coming with. >> well i'm saying playoffs. they got a buy this week. but i wouldn't mind going out for the game. >> griff: you have a relationship with the titans. yeah, kyle rudolph he and i had a chance to speak to the teams,

we talk about i don't want to ruin it but just how to kind of suck it up get out there and do it and paying a temporary price forever. pete: if the vikings win i have you to thank. if rob o'neill and lou holts like the vikings this year and they're not kneeling its got to be our year i'm telling you. >> and they have a chance to be the first team in nfl history to play the super bowl at home. pete: i know. >> you know that stadium is shaped like a viking ship? pete: of course drive by it all the time. it looks like a viking ship. >> and there's something about in front of 75,000 people doing the skull chant. it's like a nordic dance. >> griff: that is the best video of the day. pete: rob o'neill thanks. >> thanks for having me. pete: well the stock market booming to start the new year ending the week with an all-time high as rob pointed out, yet again. so why are some of the media hoping the surge comes to an end i wonder why. >> griff: plus was your new year s resolution to go on a diet so which ones really work and which ones are just fads.

irresponsible act." other critics like us weekly accusing the hgtv stars of having a child as a ploy to save their marriage. pete: thanks griff. well the stock market is surging closing out a week with once again an all-time high. the u.s. economy also added 148,000 jobs last month keeping unemployment at 4.1% but the liberal media is trying to spin the positive news in the other direction. the newspaper the president calls the failing new york times even asked when the surge will come to an end. lisa: fortunately to here weigh in on it is economics professor peter marici. hi peter how are you? >> good i'm fine, thank you. lisa: good, all right so question to you. why the surge? why are we seeing surge and is it here to stay? >> well i think it's here to stay. we could always get a correction but it would be temporary. you know the important thing to remember about this surge is it's paying for with higher profits. the price to earnings ratio which is the real price of stock

s for the s & p 500 which is 80% of u.s. publicly traded companies is now lower than it was a year ago. the bottom line here is that american companies are doing better since mr. trump won the election. they're making more money, more people are employed, the economy is growing at 3%, and the new york times is getting its economics from espn. lisa: [laughter] pete: well said so you're saying this market is not overvalued not a bubble. this is grounded in fundamentals and could go even higher? >> that's right. late november, stuart varney asked people we went over 2400 on his show on fox business where we could go and i said if we get the tax cuts we're going to have ups and downs but i think by the end of the first trump term we're going to hit dow 30,000. it's that simple. it's 20% to go from here i think that's very doable. i think the economy is in very very good shape. the real problem here is that

the liberal media is telling people they should be pessamistic and you know markets are driven by psychology. most small investors did not profit from this big surge. they bailed out during the obama years when they heard nothing but the president singing the blues and tim guitner whining and the rest saying we can't grow any more we have to settle for limits it's all about discrimination and carving up the pie. guess what the old magic of american entrepreneurism and capitalism is still well in order and alive and with the government out of the way, it's coming to the foreground and doing just fine. pete: you're saying the folks that listen to the mainstream media like paul krugman and they sold their stocks on election day was a bad move? >> absolutely paul krugman comes from the same kind of place larry summers does, the ivy league. people listen to the ivy leaguers get advice like regulate the heck out of business and so on and so forth. the reality is the ivy league does not believe in american

capitalism. they don't believe in our way of life. look at the way they run those places, what microscapes and aggressions and everything else, is it no surprise that most of their graduates when they show up in business these days are useless? pete: yeah it's true if you don't teach the fundamentals what do you got? >> at maryland we teach the good old fashion stuff. lisa: i'm a tennessee grad. pete: and i went to two ivy league schools. lisa: pete get out of here. we're together on this. pete: thank you, appreciate it great stuff. up next, was your new year's resolution to go on a diet? so which ones really work. mine was not but and which ones do not. we've got an expert to serve up the truth on food in the new year, next. lisa: going to get hit with the truth, pete. ♪ (burke) at farmers, we've seen almost everything so we know how to cover almost anything. even a swing set standoff.

>> griff: welcome back. everybody talked about new year, new you but with so many diets out there, where to begin, how do you know which ones really work and which ones are just fad s? lisa: here to break it down is terry glassman, a registered dietician with nutritious life .com. i'm looking for this because i've been on the road so much and eating really poorly, so i'm excited to hear from you about some of these different dishes we've got. so i want to start with the dash diet what is it? >> so it was number one on the u.s. news and world report, best diets for 2017. it basically reflects the dietary guidelines for americans , so you're going to focus on the foods that most of us have been told to focus on fruits, vegetables, whole gains, low fat yogurt, lien protein and healthy fats so it is reasonable it is sound it was originally created to help reduce blood pressure but the only negative i would say is that many people hear about it and they say okay

so eat food eat healthy food. i'm not really learning so much. they really have to dig in and learn in order to get a lot out of this. lisa: so we've all been eying this. pete: swarming around it this is the mediterranean diet. >> so mediterranean diet one of my favorites and i will say -- pete: grass and nuts? >> they're both really lifestyles and we know that people in the mediterranean are less risk for cancer and heart disease. they live healthy lifestyles and focus on healthy fats, less red meat more fish, healthy fat. protein from also plant-based sources, like nuts and lots of vegetables lick we've got spinache right here and then of course a little bit of wine, which you've already gotten to. >> griff: the good part is now as you move down here you talk about protein. we got a lot of lien protein here, ham which actually isn't that high in fat, grilled chicken and of course the super food, avocado. >> so what that's representative of is the duquesne diet which were both very low on the list

for the u.s. news and world report list so they're not favorites and they're both super low carb, the diet focuses on a lot of fat about 70% of the calories from the fat and it's very very high in protein. lisa: so both very restrictive. >> the fasting it sounds terrible but what is it? >> so that sandwich is representative of that. intermittent fasting is a trend right now really it's a form of an eating pattern the most popular one you don't eat for 16 hours and then you eat all of your calories within eight hours so your body uses fat for fuel. >> griff: we have to leave it right there. >> weight watchers was number one for weight loss on the list and focuses on nutrition. >> griff: that's because you get to eat pizza. pete: thank you very much. lisa: thank you so much we appreciate it. pete: we've got more fox and friends as we eat pizza moments away. what are you doing up th? no more mayhem. it's my new year's resolution. so what are you now? i'm a lightning rod. waiting to protect your home from a lightning strike.
