the government, the funding, the democrats see this as their maximum leverage so they can get daca. the president made it very clear. not an emergency. you have until march to do daca. the republicans think the democrats are going to try to stall them out on this. and it's been so far effective. ainsley: um-huh. brian: you are wondering if there is going to be another two week you mentioned patch. are we going to fund the government two more weeks and continue to negotiate to see what we will add to the two year budget which should have been passed a while ago. after this weekend and the controversy after that thursday meeting that led to the friday and the weekend of accusations back and forth. here we are on tuesday. is anyone talking behind the scenes in a bipartisan way to bring something forward back to the president that he might be able to sign? so far, nothing formal has come forward. there is nothing on the docket today except for a meeting with kazakhstan's leader to indicate that the president is going to do

this. ainsley: congresswoman martha mcsale was on fox yesterday. she announced she will run for the senator jeff flake's seat. she deals with border security all the time. she says democrats are not going to get a clean daca bill. listen to this. >> there is no such thing as doing a clean dream act. the democrats need to get over it it's not happening. we in our bill have come up with the president's priority, the american people's priorities, and that should be a starting place for these negotiations. steve: so it does sound as if the republicans do have an ace up their sleeve so to speak. that is with the short-term, probably short-term continuing resolution to fund the government, what they would probably do with it is to include the chip program for children and also hurricane relief. and if that's in there without the daca thing, it would be hard for vulnerable democrats to vote against it. so that could be the leverage to get this thing down the field a little.

ainsley: democrats are saying you are not going to give us daca then we are not going to fund the government. back in 2013 you have chuck schumer who is part of this deal saying we are not going to fund the government. back in 2013, during the debt ceiling negotiation, he said that tying immigration reform to budgetary matters, and trying to shut down the government only breeds governmental chaos. steve: that was then. ainsley: now that it works in his favor he is doing exactly what he was criticizing years ago. brian: dick durbin the number two ranking democrat in the senate is sitting there defending himself and claiming that the president really offended him in that meeting and defending himself against what he said and the push back from senator perdue and others who are saying you didn't say this. as they go back and forth senator blumenauer thought it would be good idea to go on bret baier. >> you want to begin that long road back to proving you are not a racist. you are not big gouted.

support the bipartisan compromise that three republicans and three democrats have put on the floor. everyone gave. if you listen to the farthest right we won't have an immigration 30e8. they are not where america is and where the republican party is. you can't let a small group on the extreme govern. brian: you can't let a extreme on the left govern too. where is his leadership? steve: he was talking directly to the president, he said you are going to have to go with this bad deal, otherwise, you are a racist u bad deal in the estimation of the president. mark levin was on levine television, is the host of levine television was on with sean last night and made an observation about what is going on in the larger picture regarding all these accusations. >> as an american citizen, to watch this is repulsive. to watch the mob media do what they are doing. last week we were told the

president was mentally unstable. for months before that we are told is he colluding with the russians. today we are told he is a racist. what happened to that author, michael wolff? three days ago he was the in thing. now he is gone. now we are on to something new because a known liar, dick durbin, leaves a confidential meeting with the president and other senators. he is relied on because out media because they want to rely on him. just like they want to rely on that thomplet they want to push this president out. they talk about the 25th amendment. they talk about impeachment. brian: everything he chronicled. mark levin is going to be starting a sunday show here in a few weeks i think. great point i definitely happening. if mark levin is right, can you in three days grab what was that, which the republicans say is a bad deal, can you build on that and get something that the president would say is a good enough deal? is there enough time, today, tomorrow, and thursday to

say this is enough to sign something by friday? steve: i don't think there is -- there is not bipartisan support for anything at this point because what the president looked at the deal that came to him from the moderate democrats and republicans last week he said, look, i'm not getting the wall money i need. i don't have the chain migration. i don't have the visa lottery system. the democrats got everything they want. and that's why earlier i depicted it as a bad deal the president would say. ainsley: you don't want to push something through so quickly. you don't want the government to shut down. this is an important issue. over the weekend we were sitting around and talking about politics. steve: in the cold weather. ainsley: someone said they work for a big bank here in new york and there is someone that's an imgrant, they have to send him to another country because he is on the list and far down on the list and takes a long time. this guy is from end i can't. she said he is so qualified and needs to be at the top of the list. they were all saying what's important to them is a merit-based system. if you gave scholarship money to a kid, you are going to want the best kid

to get that scholarship money. they were all saying if we are going to spend our tax dollars to fund someone to come over, we want the best of the best. brian: and the h1n1 visa is something silicon valley wants to begin with. a lot of those people go to school in stanford. now that you got your degree can you go home now. that would be something that could be phase two. phase one they agreed the issue should be chain migration the lottery and the wall. not enough money, not the chain may congratulation they wanted and not the lottery reform they wanted. go back in and work on all those three things. close the door. get your lead staffers in there have enough promise a two week extension towards some type of deal. ainsley: negotiating. steve: ultimately, we are talking about national security. go through each piece by piece. do you need a wall? i know there is division on that question. do you need the visa lottery system. do you need the diversity program and you go down and it just doesn't seem like either side is willing to

budge much at this point. and that's why the moment of maximum leverage right now for the democrats is okay the government is going to close unless we get the daca deal. they are north going to get the daca deal this week. brian: march doesn't look like a real deadline the ruling he made. they said by the time this is revisited that could be as late as june. anyone who says the rubber hits the road when it comes to daca, even in march might not even be accurate. because, everyone was able to file for daca extension already. steve: so stay tuned. ainsley: jillian has headlines for us. jillian: that's right. good morning to you and to you at home as well. we want to bring you update on the story we brought 5 a.m. hour. four law enforcement officers shot overnight in south carolina. deputies responding to a domestic violence call in york county outside charlotte, north carolina. the suspect, christian thomas mccaul started running before cops got there police say he shot a canine officer when they tracked him down and opened fire on three deputies hours later. their conditions all still

a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home, with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen,

sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro.

steve: a story we have been following an indictment handed out in the uranium one scandal. mark lambert, a former maryland transit firm executive accused of bribing russians for nuclear contracts. our next guest has inside information information on the scandal. victoria toensing is the attorney for the informant in that fbi probe. good morning victoria, good morning, steve. steve: so your guy, your -- the confidential informant worked for this company, right? >> no, he did not. he worked for his own company. steve: okay. >> this indictment of mark lambert is significant for the questions it raises. let me just give awe background so we can follow it my client started in 2009 reporting on two corrupt entities. one of those the russian companies, and then the

other company was this transit company called transportation logistics international tli for short. then as we all know in 2010, knowing it was these russians companies were corrupt the obama administration said oh yeah they can buy usual one, the company that covered 20% of our uranium. now, fast forward fast forward to 2014, over four years later, then the first indictments came down for goodness sakes. but the indictments covered the head of ten anymore the russian company and only one of the two co-owners of transportation company. who is mark lambert? he is the other co-owner. steve, as a former prosecutor i'm scratching my head. wife wasn't he indicted back in 2015 with the rest of them? steve: what's the answer to that? >> i don't know. nobody is telling me, i guess you are going to have to ask loretta lynch. the obama administration in charge of it let me just

tell you why it's bizarre from a prosecutorial standpoint. let me tell you have why i'm all concerned about it, that is because this is dangerous business. this is not just delivering groceries. uranium one is a highly dangerous dangerous entity. i'm told by experts, that would not be me i'm told by handful of it in the wrong hands would destroy new york city or washington, d.c. take your pick. and so here the government, the obama administration is allowing corrupt people who are working in bribery and kick backs and all kinds of things who want money understandably to have a quantity of material that they could sell for big bucks for goodness sakes it's criminal negligence. steve: because of the involvement, the federal government knew that the company was corrupt yet they allowed them to transport this dicey stuff all across the country. >> and they allowed it for

years after knowing they were corrupt. remember? my client started in 2009 and 2010. they went on and on and on and now it's 2018 and this dude is just getting indicted and there were a lot of russians involved do you want me to name you one? steve: sure. >> sir jay -- not a household name. is he putin general kelly. set chief of staff to putin. he was the head of the russian nuclear company. and he was in on getting bribes. do you think we are going to go after those russians who were getting bribes? steve: sure. of course, the russian company that's where the money, the tens of millions of dollars went then to the clinton foundation and just leads to more questions. let's see what else happens in this case. thank you for joining us in trying to connect some of the dots. it is 6:20 now in new york city. one city just voted to get rid of prayer before counsel meeting to be more inclusive.

approval rating. this could be a swing elections just like 1994, 2002, 2010. but the democrats can't depend on that. there has been a drift from the sort of message that worked for candidate trump in 2016 to questions about the messenger. the truth is you have to be for something to win elections. we have advised 18 wins electioning around the world. not one was won by just being against something. have you to be for something. they have will have to be for a localized agenda for each of the congressional and senate election he is. and they are going to have be for their version of a better america. fixing merck, building infrastructure and jobs. and standing for inclusion, not exclusion. ainsley: jake, is he right. messaging is so important. we saw this with the last election president trump had make america great again a very simple motto but it worked. what is the message for democrats? >> i think democrats do have a message. we need higher wages and better jobs. we deserve better opportunities for american families to make it in the

21st century and lower coast of family for american families. ainsley: dems want more money in their pocketbook and higher raises. didn't we see that with the tax cuts? didn't the president give the president that with tax cuts. $1,000 bonus and seeing 401(k)s going up. >> i think what the president did give tax breaks to the wealthiest people of america ultimately going to come from people struggling to get by. this is coming from working americans. it's a big tax cut for people at the very top. the democratic message going from the next election is no matter how are and no matter where you are from or what you look like or how love you deserve a shot at the american dream. ainsley: david, do you agree with that? because if you look at the stats, if you look at the numbers. everyone is getting a tax relief except for the wealthiest of the wealthy that live in new york and live in these states that have very expensive local taxes? >> well, the election is not held today. it's held a little less than a year from today ouncely. i think jake has an important point. the question is whether l. there be, how will people

feel a year, a little less now. will they feel they are better off? will they feel they are more secure around the world? this is a issue. even though they are localized issues and mid terms tend to be about the incumbent than other elections there will be overall sense with the strategy where are we with iran and north korea the various threats. in terms of the tax cut and the economy though, there is a balloon mortgage effect that will at some point be felt by voters. you know, when they don't see any more ups in the stock market, perhaps. we are all rooting for the stock market. we can't tell what's going to happen a year from now in terms of this economy. ainsley: jake, what would you say to the items that are running. what does their message need to be because we are hearing resist, resist, resist. is that going to resonate with the voters. >> pushing back against people who are struggling, people who are left behind. and i think democrats are going to be standing up for those people. standing um for people who have been left up and left behind. standing um for people who aren't being heard by this

administration. that's an awful lot of people. ainsley: david, a fifth lawmaker has decided not to be there to hear the state of the union address the last week of january. what do you think about that? these are all democrats, of course. >> well, look, you know, some democrats don't want to normalize the behavior of president trump and remember justice scalia how just mentioned in your session didn't come to like 11 "studio bs" because he found them childish exercises. senator cruz boycotted one of the state of the unions that president obama delivered. i actually don't think they should boycott. i think, again, back to my first point, democrats win by being for something. not just against something. president trump, candidate trump has been very good at getting his opponents to overreact. that's really paying by your opponent's agenda not your own agenda. ainsley: jake, what do you think about the boycott. >> not unusual for individual members of congress to boycott a state of the union. republicans did in 1999. mark lesson how just featured on this show in the last hour called for boycott of republicans by

republicans in 2014. that part is not unusual. what is unusual are the series of events that have led up to this state of the union where you had the president of the united states make racist comments in the oval office and deny he did it but bragged to friends about it. and that's on top of saying that haitians have aids and that all nigerians live in huts. this is pretty extraordinary circumstance. it's not unreasonable for some people to decide that they don't want to be a part of it. ainsley: i think i speak for all americans don't we want the fighting to end though you? can't watch the golden globes without this dark cloud. it's so negative. >> ainsley, we can't even get stupid stuff done let alone strategic stuff. it's scary. ainsley: thanks for being with us. the story is unbelievable. 13 children shackled and starving inside a california house. now their neighbors are speaking out. what did they know? caught on camera, car losing control skidding on black ice. what happens next? ♪ all right. ♪ even if you are old and gray ♪ well, it's all right

so emaciated and they also thought all the victims were actually kids but eventually they discovered that seven of them were adults. the sheriff's office said the victims appear to be mal-nourished and very dirty. they were sent to local hospitals for treatment. their conditions were not immediately known. >> they were all in pjs because it was early in the morning. they were very, very pail skin almost like they have never seen the sun. i have seen a couple of the older ones, it was mostly girls. and then kind of small framed. i think kind of tiny almost looked a little malnutritioned. >> i always had suspicion because that house never looked like it had a lot of action in front of it. >> the home's address was listed as a location of the sand castle day school public k through 12 institution that opened in 2011. the "new york times" indicated that the temperature pins filed for bankruptcy that year.

>> good morning, guys. it's complex and unusual. you know, daca has never been reviewed by the supreme court, but dapa, deferred action for parent arrivals, that is immigrants who came here and had children and the children are american citizens. that has been found unconstitutional. so, when the president goes along with what the court ordered rather than appealing it, the court says well, you are not really against daca at all. and, therefore, i'm going to put everything on hold until congress decides what to do. now, if a president asked me what i thought about this, i say if they give you a lemon make lemonade. under pressure to do something on daca. instead of 45 days have you six month. take the time and work this out. should a judge be making a decision for the country? well that's what judges do. the real entity that should make this decision is the congress. we know those negotiations have reluctantly broke down. now they have time to

reconstitute. brian: legal experts looked at what the san francisco judge has written. it looks like editorial. doesn't hold up to legal muster. challenge to overturn it. >> i am surprised and disappointed that the justice department is not challenging it to overturn it. that let's it stay in place, brian. as for it being an editorial, yeah. i mean, he cites things that donald trump said during the campaign. he cites some of the more and insend area off the cuff comments for which the president is now known and judges sometimes do that when they want to go in a certain direction. here is what the president said. here is what the president did. they are contradictory. >> knowledge california, what do you know about this judge? >> i don't. ainsley: democrat though obviously, right? >> having been there myself. i'm not one to want to criticize them as saying they are politicians in black robes there are some judges who are politicians in black robes: 9th circuit

the most liberal in the country has been cooking since donald trump has become president. here is the real frustration. he said this the other day. why are these cases all in california in a circuit i know is going to rule against me? because his enemies are smart and they know where to file these cases. the first case filed and first case ruled on pretty much becomes the rule of the day. steve: venue shopping. >> appeal this get this up to the supreme court. every time immigration cases have finally made their way through the 9th circuit to the supreme court the supreme court has ruled on the president's side. brian: why do you think it is, judge? do you think he want the six months. >> i think he wants the six months to negotiate. i would negotiate with the other side's back wall with appeal pending. that's me. he obviously knows more how negotiation is going than i do. when you don't appeal, you send the wrong signal to the courts. it's like oh, one day you are folk daca. the next day you are against

it. steve: interesting stuff. brian: good to he so you, judge. >> good to see you. all the best. brian: 12 minutes before the top of the hour. how out of touch are democrats about tax cuts? watch this. >> so you are creating a huge tax cut and you might not get wage growth. >> right. >> capital one financial which just confirmed to cnbc will raise the minimum wage. brian: there is more from where that came from. we will talk about the dichotomy between fact and fiction. >> do you remember the self-described deplorable professor who called out pc culture on college campuses? he is suing the school for defamation. is he going to join us live next. ♪ now am i wrong ♪ for trying to be together with cigna reminding you to go, know, and take control of your health.

microaggression that they see. and so this turns the whole campus into a surveillance space in effect. and that really disturbed me. brian: finally after a while you are renting on twitter you decide to come out and tell everyone you are behind it you interview with the student newspaper say on october 24th, 2016, it's me. and i'm against the pc culture on campus. >> that's right. brian: what happens right after that. >> right after that within a day, an official committee called the diversity equity and inclusion working group denounced me very severely this was official committee as if nyu officially denounced me. then soon i'm called in, the same day called into the dean's office upshot is clear we want you to absent yourself from campus for at least a semester. brian: so you do. you come back. >> i come back universal shunning from my colleagues. then by the end of the same

those things that happened after the tax cut went through. we didn't know about. we got a great montage. we are going to show you regarding that in a minute. meantime, thanks for joining us on this tuesday. brian: let me tell you what's straight ahead. in fact, we are going to be talking about this right now. president trump firing back at democratic senator dick durbin, i don't know if you heard about this. ainsley: commander-in-chief blasting dick durbin for what he said on meeting on daca. steve: all this as the government shut down looms on friday. griff jenkins is breaking it down in the shadow of the capitol. griff? >> good morning, guys. what a difference a week makes. remember watching the president negotiating with the democrats last week. now he says the democrats don't want to make a deal. dick durbin and the president caught in a war of words over what the president did or did not say. now we have a new nickname the president tweeting senator dickey durbin totally misquoting what was said at the daca meeting.

durbin blew daca and is hurting our military. the s-hole controversy in the first place is defending his allegations. >> i stand behind every word that i said in terms of that meeting. i'm focused on one thing, not that meeting but on making sure that those who are being protected by daca and eligible for the dream act have a future in america. >> if there was any hope left that a bipartisan deal was possible, the administration and republicans have made it very clear that the idea of a clean daca deal is not on the table. so, you know, meanwhile, i should point out that a growing list of democrats led by maxine waters has announced that they are boycotting the president's state of the union speech in two weeks. bottom line, if there is no deal by friday, guys, and democrats refuse to support a funding bill, then we could be headed for a government shut down. the g.o.p. house could do it alone but not in the senate. they will need five democrats. how challenge something this? in the words of our senior

capitol hill producer chad pergram not even ant amps from spinal tap go that high. ainsley: thank you, griff. brian: today senate goes back to work they needed three or four days off. fisa laws not going to touch anything. even if the deal is in place they got two days to draft legislation and pass anything to go along with the spending plan? the only thing possible is a shut down or a cr. steve: so it sounds like what they are going to do because they don't have anything on the table. they will say okay we will do another short-term patch but the republicans at this point have not announced how long it would go and whether or not it would include hurricane relief and also the chip program. now, if they put those two elements in that then, that's going to be maximum pressure on the democrats. wait, you are not going to vote for the children or hurricane relief? really? they think they will be able to get a short-term patch. to kick that can down the

road a little bit. ainsley: there will be a short-term patch. they are going to use the cr. there is no way they are going to let this government shut down. representative congresswoman martha mcsally was on fox yesterday. she had a message for the democrats. listen. >> there is no such thing as doing a clean dream act. the democrats need to get over it it's not happening. we in our bill have come up with the president's priorities, the american people's priorities. that should be a starting place for these negotiations. brian: but i agree with you, ainsley. it's likely you are right. but there is a chance -- there is going to be a shut down. ainsley: very rare. brian: 32 democratic senators voted against the cr before christmas. you wonder how many more are going to be told hey, we have the president in a box because of the controversy over the weekend and i think it would be a miscalculation but maybe that could be the stream of thought like we have a chance to do this because, steve, your scenario is also correct if you put those two things out

there angry victims. however, what if you say to yourself -- if you were chuck schumer and they stormed into your office demanding daca? what if you were nancy pelosi and making a speech and get interrupted by the so-called daca kids. are you really going to say i did nothing again? steve: that's what happened last time because they were -- you know, the democrats have taken a lot of heat from their core base why didn't you come up with a daca deal then? but then at the same time, it's like the stars are not aligned at this point. this part of the week to do it. and so, you know, remember the olden days which people on capitol hill do one bill at a time and not have to glom a bunch of other stuff on to it? now it looks like to get the -- you know, the dads would like if you are going to fund the government, have you got to do the daca deal. there is not enough time right now. ainsley: there is give and take. we asked for your comments earlier in the show. john wrote and said the dem's idea of a deal or

compromise you give us what we want and we will call it a deal. steve: yep. james emailed and said dems need to stop playing games and do what's right for the american people who put them in office. brian: what about this one from jim. all the dems want is to stall until they get what they want and then blame the g.o.p. when it goes bad. business as usual. so, all the emails seem to be going the same direction. steve: pretty much they would like something done. now, we touched on this top of the program. you know, in the run-up to the passage of the tax bill. the mainstream media pretty much painted it as if this thing passes, it's going to be a boon for just rich people and big corporations and armageddon. it's going to be the end of the world. the washington free beacon put together a montage where you hear some of the hyperbole before the tax bill passed and then it is ended, each time, with a little bit of clarity on what actually happened. watch this.

>> it feels like you're relying on this tax cut of the corporations, of the wealthy, to trickle down recommendation southwest and american airlines both asnownsing they will give $1,000 bonuses from the tax overhaul. >> so you are creating a huge tax cut and you might not get wage growth. >> right. the capital one financial which just confirmed to cnbc they will raise the minimum wage for all capital one $15 an hour. >> anybody who thinks that this corporate tax cut is going to trickle down to lift wages has a staggering ignorance of how public companies function. >> wells fargo said it would raise its minimum wage to $15 per hour. >> i will ask you plainly, are you living in a fantasy world? >> at&t announced it will invest a billion dollars in the u.s. in 2018, also for 200,000 workers it will provide them a $1,000 bonus. >> that is how do i say this nicely? absolute nonsense. there are no examples

anywhere of companies distributing their tax savings to their workers. >> sinclaire broadcasting and kansas city southern are among others committing to bonuses. >> generally speaking when companies get tax cuts they keep them for themselves and distribute them to the shareholders. >> bt and t $1,200 from 75% of workforce. ainsley: that's awesome. steve: no trickle down no. bonuses. ainsley: no examples anywhere. this is nonsense. it's a fantasy world. if you believe that wages are going to go up, it is staggering ignorance. steve: oops? brian: people are hiring. they feel as though they can hire. guess what? when they hire there is now competition for the worker. if you want competition for the worker, that's the best way to get a salary increase and get better benefits. steve: brian, to your points earlier when we were talking about the light bill here, there are a number of utilities, public utilities and privately held utilities that are going to reduce their rates to the folks because they got a cut in their taxes from uncle sam.

ainsley: my dad will be so glad. growing up you had to turn the light out every time you left. my dad made it a hab bit for us. i do it every time now. steve: so did mine. brian: go on dimmers. i couldn't do it myself. we dim a little bit. steve: well there you go. brian: i actually didn't know how to do the outlets. we had someone come in. ainsley: your brother. he has done it for me before. brian: he he could do it at 4 years old. ainsley: the electrician. steve: that's a little what's going on in the news. jillian joins us with a fox news alert. jillian: we are following multiple breaking news stories. let's get you caught up starting with this fox news alert. four law enforcement officers shot overnight in south carolina. deputies responding to domestic violence call in york county just outside of charlotte, north carolina. the suspect, christian thomas mccaul started running before cops got there police say he shot a canine officer when they tracked him down and opened fire on three deputies hours later.

well, i'm not really sure it adds up to armageddon. more and more people are getting fed up with high taxes in blue states and moving out. so for democrats this might be armageddon for them. states like illinois, new jersey, new york, and even connecticut topping the list of outbound moves according to new report because taxes are so high. this is what it means for the brian, why are already seeing some moves prior to this tax bill passing, right; before getting the tax bill you are sighing people move out of new york, new jersey, connecticut. why? they don't like the high taxes and high regulation. you can a see why nancy pelosi is so concerned because they are already moving out now wait until the tax deduction hits. they lose a deduction for state and local taxes. they are going to say i don't want to be art pa of this anymore. go to a place easy to start a business and hire a work and get a job. those are not high tax states. brian: you are 100 percent right in my state in particular new york.

the lines were so long before the new year ended to prepay your taxes under the old tax rules it didn't matter to people. they wouldn't have been doing that. >> if you are in a state where you have to prepay your taxes to get around problems, they will say forget it i don't want to be part of that. that's why you are seeing the mountain west, the southwest, southeast, stating where taxes are lower, representations are lower. people are flocking there. brian: here are some of the states. illinois the taxes are 11%. in new jersey it's at 12.2%. in new york, 12.7%. and connecticut 12.6. top outbound states to receive are kind of interesting as well because the place where they are going to are the florida, are the nevada, alabama, south carolina, and north carolina. and dare i say what i have seen personally in tennessee. they are going there, too. >> you are going to go to places where you can live the kind of life you want to live in new york, connecticut and new jersey. the government is telling you how to use your money and what you do in your personal life and womplet

were being held by their parents. investigators initially believed that girl was just 10 years old because she was so emaciated. they also thought all the victims were kids. but eventually discovered that seven of them were adults. the sheriff's office said the victims appeared to be malnourished and very dirty. they were sent to local hospitals for treatment but their conditions can were not immediate the extraly known. thimmediately known.>> they wers because it was early in the morning. they are very pail skinned. i have seen a couple of the older ones, and it was mostly girls. and kind of small-framed, i think kind of tiniy, almost looked a little mal malnutritioned. >> i always had a little suspicion because that house never looked like there was action in front of it. >> the home address was listed as a location of the sand castle day school a public k through 12 institution opened in 2011.

unacceptable to see the racism and the hatred coming out of the white house the way in which this president is fueling the flames of divisiveness across our country. >> jillian: well she joins willis, blumenauer and maxine waters. in light of that quoting i would like to take maxine waters' seat at the state of the union address. if they don't want to go this military veteran would gladly go. i will tell the president how much he means to myself, family, military and all of his supporters. army vernal suing a v.a. hospital for leaving a school pell insidscalpel after . shows knife in his body. doctors in connecticut found it years later after he complained of long term abdominal pain. he then needed more surgery to have the blade removed. the department of veterans affairs has not yet commented. well, can you run but you can't hide. michigan state police helping local cops on the ground catch a car thief from above. watch.

i actually was just telling stuart varney. this time we broke code. my dogs like me more every day. every day the intensity increases not many people can say that about me. it usually goes the other day. ainsley: what's prettier the dogs or brian's yard. brian: my wife deserves full credit. i gave her a trimmer and lawn mower and said make it nice. >> it's a mansion, brian. ainsley: huge day on wall street, tell us why. >> this is explosive day sit back and watch history. at 9:30 eastern time this morning. the dow jones industrial average will hit 26,000. it was only seven trading sessions ago that we hit 25,000. this is really an explosive event which doesn't get much coverage. now, in the background, have you got a possible government shut down, have you got, as you were saying yesterday, brian, have you got the possible withdraw from nafta, investors don't

care. that's making no impact on wall street at all. brian: nor the controversy over the weekend. >> no. investors smell profit. more and more profit from american corporations and that's the bedrock for stock prices. steve: stuart, you said a moment ago, this stock market ramp up, not getting much coverage. why is that? >> because it's the trump rally. anything positive for president trump, whether it's the economy or anything does not get coverage. steve: but this is historic. >> it is historic. it is inexplicable that i'm not seeing this on the front page of major newspapers or on the top of every newscast by media outlets but we are not. they are ignoring it. brian: significant how quick we got from 26,000 from 25,000. did that matter? steve: seven days. >> that's explosive. that's why the media should be covering it have you never seen anything like this before. in october be we hit 2,000. november, 24,000. january the 4th, 25,000. today, january the 16th,

26,000. how about that? now, hold on a second. people come up to me and say i'm worried, i'm worried. what should i do? it can't keep going up like this. if you are worried, you can, a, sell everything, sleep well at night works to safety and pay the profits tax next april, 2019. or you can sell half your stuff, so that you lock in your initial investment and let the rest of it ride. can you put stock loss orders in so if you have got apple say and $175 a share, tell your broker i'm selling it. if it gets to 160. so you limit your loss. can you do all of that. steve: had those people who bought bit coin last month put their money in the stock market they would be smiling than crying. >> bit coin is down today $11,000 per coin. ainsley: why are you looking at me? i bought the minimal amount. it's going to go up. i have faith. >> it's a big day. brian: i'm going to be on with you today through the

about this idea that chelsea manning could be running for the u.s. senate, could be a u.s. senator? >> i think it's absurd but unfortunately not out of the yes. i mean, i guess it shows the resistance' true colors if someone like this can gain any level of support. i mean, maybe they could find bowe bergdahl doesn't seem to be doing anything now and perhaps get putin to send eddy snowden back and run the trifecta of traitors. this is obscene thing but no prohibition against it apparently can you run for senate as a felon. ainsley: do you think that the voters in maryland do they know enough about her if they go to the polls and doesn't do due diligence and a lot of people on the ballot they might recognize her name because her name has been in the media and they might check the box? i mean the largest leak of classified documents in u.s. history. >> i would like to think the people of maryland are smarter than that and running against an incumbent against a big war chest. i don't think it's a great

problem. let's take a quick thought about what manning actually was convicted of. this was the espionage act dumping 750,000 classified and sensitive documents onto the internet. supposedly, because there were war crimes that were going to be exposed. and, yet, zero war crimes were actually exposed. so this is someone who showed their oath meant nothing to them and their judgment is nonexistent. brian: but the way i understand it, it also revealed informants we had on the ground in iraq and afghanistan a lot of them are dead today. how this person was even eligible to come out prior to 35 years is unbelievable. the only thing that chelsea manning has shown ungratefulness even to president obama that she was exonerated from these charges. >> yeah. i mean, obama showed some misguided sense of pity not any reason to believe that this wasn't the crime that was committed. and as you mentioned, manning has shown no remorse. sod idea that you would seat someone like this in the

senate if by some bizarre twist of fate she got elected, there is no prohibition against chelsea manning once again having access to our classified documents because members of congress don't have to go through the same security screening procedures as anybody else. it's a disgrace. steve: well, let's see what happens. jim, thank you very much for joining us from our nation's capital. ainsley: thank you. brian: i don't think ben carbon has much to worry about. people pay big bucks for financial advice. for you it's free as far as we know. rachel cruz is next to answer your money questions live. ainsley: new book reveals what the late justice antonin scalia thought about trump. the author who knew scalia for decades is going to join us live ♪ i was born free ♪ i was born free ♪ born free ♪

steve: good idea. president trump firing back at democrat dick durbin. brian: blasting durbin misrepresenting what he said during an oval office meeting on daca. ainsley: as government shutdown looms with still no daca deal in site. griff jenkins, just a few more days. friday is the deadline, right, griff? reporter: that's right. if we're facing a government shutdown every week because this is the fourth time since september but gone is the goodwill from the bipartisan meeting. president says democrats don't want to make a deal. senator dick durbin and the president clashed over what the president did or did not say in a meeting. now we have a new nick maim. the president tweeting, senator dickey durbin totally misrepresented what was said at daca meeting. deals can not get made when there is no trust. durbin blew daca and hurting our military. durbin responsible for revealing

the s-hole controversy in the first place is defending his allegations. >> i stand by every word i said in that meeting. i'm focused on one thing, not that meeting. making sure those protected by daca, eligible for the "dream" act have a future in america. reporter: complicating any hope a bipartisan deal is possible, nancy pelosi is made it clear will not support a funding bill without a daca deal. house republicans need to get over the idea after clean daca deal without the president's priorities. this growing list of democrats, five in all, led by maxine waters announced they will boycott the president's state sf the union speech in two weeks. bottom line, no deal by friday, democrats hold out on funding could be time to turn out the lights in the building behind me. republicans might go it alone but not in the senate where they need nine democrats to avoid filibuster, guys. steve: they need to find

motivated democrats to help them out. really deadline is not on daca. the deadline on funding the government. looks as if from what we read, looks like they will probably pass a little patch. get them down the road a couple weeks. they probably will be able to motivate a number of democrats to do it, include disaster relief and social programs. brian: i have a prediction, patch will show maturity on both sides, because it helps the country to find two more weeks to fund the government because they can't fund the government on this i have a sense if they work toward as bipartisan solution they will have reason to get democrats involved and two more weeks to get it done. steve: i agree. come up with some sort of comprehensive immigration reform, rather than doing a continuing resolution, and tacking daca on to it, they will all be focused on that. the president gave them until march to figure out what to do about daca so why not? ainsley: they're not going to

shut down the government. they can't do that. steve: they might. brian: they have done it. ainsley: five years ago, 10 years ago. they have done it once. brian: did it remember when computers didn't work for the launch of obamacare. that ended up, number one story was the shutdown of the government and president made that remark, hey, bad timing. ainsley: election year. democrats shut down the government don't you think that will affect them come the polls? steve: always impacts the republicans more. democrats say we shut it down we were trying to get something done for the "dreamers" and republicans shut it down. one of those things, even though democrats may be at fault republicans would wind up getting the blame. that is why paul ryan said on friday he is optimistic they will be able to do something to avoid shutting government shut down. brian: 32 democrats voted last time before christmas not to fund the government. you wonder if that number will grow now, using president's controversial remarks debating what he said, his stance on race is something i can't tolerate

but would be a very big risk for democrats who feel like they're on a roll heading into the midterms, the chance they will get blamed for the reason -- ainsley: stephen colbert back in 2013, chuck schumer was on with stephen colbert, we'll play the sound bite, but chuck schumer said back in 2013 it was governmental chaos when you use immigration reform to try to shut down the government, when you use that, people's lives and paychecks are at risk. he was on with stephen colbert last night. listen to what he said. >> actions speak louder than words, you want to begin that long road back to proving you're not a racist, you're not bigoted, support the bipartisan compromise that three republicans and three democrats have put on the floor. everyone gave, you will listen to the fartherrest right we will never have immigration policy they're not where america is and they're not even where the republican party is. you can't let a small group on

the extreme govern. brian: senator schumer has known president trump for years when asking him for money. he knows the president is not a racist. for him you have to prove it to me, stephen colbert's couch to say that is almost comical. ainsley: we gave you the bipartisan deal. the bipartisan deal was not what the republicans wanted. it was one billion dollars for the wall. the president is asking a lot more than that they need more than 3 billion in the initial phase of the wall. brian: that is foundation to maybe build, there was senator, senator graham was in there, senator perdue was in there. senator lamar alexander will join in the fray. so they did work together towards this for the last two months. so my hope was, they would say, yeah, this doesn't work yet but we'll push it forward. steve: the president made it very clear at the beginning of the week he wanted. only one of the things was in there, it was only partially in there. mark levin took a look what is going on over the last 48 hours

and what has been going on the last couple weeks and has this on vision. >> as an american citizen to watch this is repulsive. watch the mob media doing what they're doing. last week we were told the president is mentally unstable. for months before that we're told he is colluding with the russians. today we're told he is racist. what happened to the author michael wolff. three days ago he was in thing. he is gone. he is on to something new, known liar dick durbin leave as confidential meeting with the president and other senators. relied on by the media because they want to rely on him. like they wanted to rely on the author. they want to push this president out. they talk about 25th amendment. they talk about impeachment. brian: why i can not wait for the mark levin show to start on monday. steve: it will be great. the media research center came out with a study. they looked at coverage on the big three networks, their evening news and take a look at the screen. the line at the top is the

amount of negative coverage. as you can see it hovered around 90% regarding president trump the entire year. the positive coverage is at line scraping the bottom. it started at 15% and then it went nine, nine, 18, 7, 10, 8. to say the least the president has not gotten good coverage from the big three. ainsley: what happened in april? 82% was negative. look at that. 25 million people that watch these three networks. when they're covering this presidency, 90% negative coverage, 25 million people are watching it every night. brian: believe it or not through all this negative coverage they did a survey of 600,000 people about the how black america views this president. his numbers have actually doubled in approval. it is still low, around 25%. but it is doubled since the election. they're seeing something, maybe

in their pocketbooks or their job opportunities because we know that unemployment for african-americans or black americans are now, is under 7% for the first time ever. steve: when you look at their bar graphs, i think you could could say easily not fair and balanced. should be closer to 50. not 90-10. brian: president doesn't like the coverage he will let you know. taking this presidency personal. ainsley: maybe they will watch and change for 2018. what do you think? brian: i would say that is no. steve: not holding my breath. ainsley: hey, jillian. brian: always positive. jillian: fox news alert. story we're following a few hours now. four law enforcement officers shot overnight in south carolina, deputies responding to a domestic violence call in york county, outside of charlotte, north carolina. the suspect, christian thomas

ignored it, adds any allegations after clinton campaign connection should be fully investigate the. george washington law professor, jonathan turley. >> hi steve. steve: as long as looking into the collusion thing, paul manafort getting in trouble why not look at clintons, right? >> there are a lot of allegations that have not been fully investigated. i don't understand people in favor of investigating russian collusion connections with trump are not in favor of investigating these allegations. $100 million were given to the clinton foundation or the clintons personally. "the washington post" resisted this investigation, said they believe they gave the russians gave the money to ininfluence hillary clinton. the question, did it work? why wouldn't we want to investigate that? steve: on its face, professor it, looked like it work.

if it did work, why don't we figure out, why don't we connect those dots? who is so afraid to dig into this thing? >> you know, i'm still skeptical there is any criminal case here against the clintons on uranium one. i think that a lot more has to be established for a credible nexus but i think that what this indictment shows is that the different treatment being given these allegations. the public has very little faith in our government, you can't promise necessarily answers but give them a full record. at this point the only way we get past this awful period, this terrible election, fully investigate both sides. that is just what i don't understand, why people are resists one side but not the other. steve: sure. jeff sessions, the attorney general, said several weeks ago, he said, you know, at behest of number of republican congressman and senators you know what? maybe we'll like into it, the uranium one deal, if there are any charges to be brought we'll

deal with that people are wondering is this indictment of mark lambert, is that a by-product of that, or were they digging all along? >> my assumption is they were digging all along. you don't produce an indictment like this in such fast order after a statement by sessions. the assumption that this investigation was ongoing. why it took three years, i don't know. they're alleging that bribes not only occurred but there was a pattern of code words used to hide this money. it is a pretty damning record but i think that the most important question is not just uranium one but to look at all of this money that went to the clintons. hillary clinton said that they were dead broke leaving the government. they ultimately amass ad fortune of over $150 million. steve: yeah. >> that was a reckless decision in terms of the money that they accepted from some of these sources. it warrants investigation. steve: sure. why not, because there are scandals on both sides, you know the public is never going to be

satisfied until we get some answers. >> people of good faith should basically accept, we never had a period like this where there are some questions about our leaders and it requires us to give the public the information they need to make their own decisions and stop trying to manipulate both sides of the investigation. people are going to be embarrassed if both sides are investigated but it is the only way i can see for us getting out of this period. steve: professor, thank you very much for dropping by today. >> thanks. steve: steve 8:20 here in new york city. just across the river is new jersey governor will be sworn in next couple hours. his first order of business, protecting illegal immigrants. what the late justice antonin scalia really thought about candidate donald trump. the author of mino and me, who knew scalia for decades joins us

doctors treating half dozen people for breathing problems after a missile strike. brian: wow, get to the bottom of that. steve: unfiltered and utterly frank. that is how antonin scalia described then candidate donald trump. according to fascinating memoir about the late supreme court justice. ainsley: joining us the author of the book, "nino and me." my unusual friendship with judge antonin scalia. thank you, bryan garner for being with us. bryan wrote the new book. we just showed awe picture. why is it called, "nino and me"? >> it is a story about our friendship. it is book about three things, a book about friendship, literary collaboration, and truly the most interesting man in the world. brian: you met him because you wanted to interview him to do a book on him, right? >> that's right. i had written a lot of books myself, over 20 or so when we met and he was fascinated by my book authorship and so much so

that after two meetings i thought that maybe we could do a book together. steve: and he said ultimately he said no though, right? >> well, no, he said yes. then he said no. kind of a, it was a turbulent start. we had a little misunderstanding. i sent him some blank pages to develop manuscript and he thought that that was going to be the finished book, that i was rejected all of his contributions. so it was, it was actually a very difficult thing to sort out, and there were some very tense conversations involving some accusations leveled against me. but, you know, i have called him a, he is sort of a combination of socrates and dr. samuel johnson in the modern era, and i don't know anybody else whose mind is quite as acute and whose

view of the world is quite as clear as justice scalia's was. it was an amazing experience to be able to work with him and be his friend. steve: with that kind of intellect, why did he like donald trump? >> i think he liked an unvarnished, unvarnished candidate. this was early days, early days in the campaign. so i'm certainly not, you know, commenting on what he would make of the political situation today but early on he was enthusiastic about the idea that we had a candidate whose every utterance was not airbrushed. brian: you also wrote a book about neil gorsuch, you appeared to really like him and think he is a fine justice. maybe could you answer this for me, where do the confidence come from? where does his confidence, his assureness in everything he seems to have thought and his deep thinking?

how do you -- did it ever make sense to you? >> well only way i can put that together, he had a very clear vision and a lot of confidence, you're right. i think it had to do with his upbringing. he was only child with a lot of aunts and uncles, all he said were dedicated to his development, his education. he was doted on as a child and i think his parents inculcated in him a very strong sense of ethics of morality, and he, he lived that. he was a man of great integrity. ainsley: brian, i assume nino his nickname or what you called him. love to hear more about that and something else we might learn in the book that we didn't know as a public? we researched him. we all reported on his unfortunate death last year but what is something we don't know about him? >> well he had an uncle named

nino, antinon was his name. his nickname nino came from his uncle. i called him justice scalia for about the first six months of our collaboration. he had a sense of drama and it was over at his house when i was first having dinner with him in his home that he called me aside and said, rather dramatically, brian, i don't think we're going to be able to continue working together. now this was after we had already almost broken up. and i was devastated. and he said, if you keep on calling me justice scalia. i'm nino. that was a very big change in the relationship. i think what a lot of people, very few people have the sense of the man and that was really the purpose of the book, to memorialize him and write a tribute to the man, but also to share with the world among

people who are interested in this fascinating man, just what was he like day-to-day? what was it like to appear on stage with him? what was it like to write books with him? that was the purpose of writing the borke, really. brian: did he have a sense his days were numbered? it seemed sudden to us. for him, did he feel healthy? >> yes. in fact when we returned to the united states eight days before he died he was in good health. in fact we commented on the fact none of us had had a cold in this long tour of asia, over two-week period. there is a very eerie thing that i recount at the end of the book. we did discuss when his death would occur in two conversations. one, i said you know, i know you're going to live for another 20 years, you need to have literary executor. i recount that conversation in the book but the most remarkable

thing nine days before he died we were at a taaoist temple in and he was fascinated by a soothsayer a fortune teller. let's get our palms read. caroline and i went and got our palms read, and the palm reader actually predicted the date, the year of my death, that he said i would live to be 89 easily. i don't know what the easily means. my wife would live to be 88 easily. brian: real quick. >> i said nino get your palm read. get your palm read. and he said no. he started walking off. come on nino let's find out. if he knows how many children you have because he was also correctly predicting number of children. brian: he didn't do it? >> and he said, absolutely not. i do not want to know when i'm going to die. that happened nine days before. brian: congratulations on the

book, "nino and me." >> thank you. brian: thank you. ainsley: sarah huckabee sanders will joins us next. stay with us on "fox & friends." how would i know? but i do know that first, qualcomm connected the phone to the internet. and now, everyone is posting and scrolling and sharing everything. yessir. qualcomm invents, then the world innovates on top of their breakthroughs. invention comes first. and a whole lot of it starts at qualcomm. ♪ ♪ there are two types of people in the world. those who fear the future... and those who embrace it. the future is for the unafraid. ♪ all because of you ♪ ♪

♪ brian: 25 minutes before the top of the hours. time to go inside that building, just outside of the building at white house where press secretary sarah sanders is it will get warm in a little bit. it's a bit challenging to be out there. thanks for joining us, sarah. a lot of people are nervous about a government shut down in two days. talk about fisa when the senate comes back to work. is there any thought or plan to reconfigure and reconvene the bipartisan meeting last thursday that went so wrong?

>> first of all good morning. it is very cold. hopefully we stay short today. but, look, we're still optimistic in terms of the budget deal. i think one thing needs to be clear. we have to keep these go items separate, the budget needs to be a separate item. we want a clean budget bill. we're hopeful that could happen. we're hopeful the democrats will not hold mile-per-hour military hostage. will not hold the funding of our government hostage over a political battle that we should have, but we shouldn't have it connected to the budget. we need to keep the two things separate. we're hopeful to get a budget deal done, a clean budget by end of this week. we certainly hope we can make a deal on daca and on border security and our immigration system. this is something that needs to be done. everyone agrees, both democrats and republicans, the house and senate and the president that we want to see something on daca. we want to see border security. it seems like a no-brainer.

hopefully democrats will come to the table and really be serious about making a deal on both of these things that we want to get done. ainsley: what is the problem? what is the issue that is holding this up? >> sadly i think it is really simple. i think democrats don't want to see this president be successful. i think that he has had a huge year of, in 2017, one of the best first years of any president that we've seen. certainly with massive legislation passed, with the tax cuts, the economy is booming, is ice -- isis in retreat. you have win after win with this president. i don't think they want to hand him another one. the problem is they're penalizing the country. that is a really, really sad thing. hopefully democrats stop doing that, put their country before their party, and focus on things they were elected to come here to do, work with republicans to get good legislation passed and our budget, funding our military is first and foremost has to be

done. even a lot of democrats over the weekend, the attorney general of california, multiple other members, senator whitehouse have said this needs to be a clean deal. it shouldn't be tied to daca. we hope chuck schumer and nancy pelosi will join with some of their democratic colleagues this week and make that happen. steve: last week the white house made it very clear what the president would like to see in any deal. then that bipartisan idea came up, and it wasn't even close! >> people act like we should have, that the president is outrageous for not jumping on to a bad deal. this is a president who has been bashing bad deals for the last two years. last thing he will do is sign on to another one. he is very much committed to making a deal when it comes to doing something permanent with daca, doing something for border security. he wants to end chain migration, end visa lottery system, and really make sure we're taking steps so that we don't have to do this all over again in two

years, that we're actually correcting the problem. brian: when they came over with a bipartisan proposal there was a sense that the, republicans sensed that the president was for it at 10:30. by the time he arrived in the afternoon he wasn't. was there enough there to build on or do you have to start all over again? >> look, i think there is certainly something to build on. i think the meeting at the white house, that the press was invited in to was certainly a great foundation a great starting place. i think you saw a lot of members voice the same opinions of being committed to getting something done and hopefully they will be serious about it. we've laid out what our priorities are and what we have to have happen. look, this is a president who wants to see something done but wants to see it done right. he doesn't want to sign something for the sake of signing something. he wants to sign something that actually makes our country better, makes our country stronger and makes our country safer. that is it what he is committed

to do and that is what we want to work with democrats to make sure happens. ainsley: sarah, give us a preview what is happening today at the white house. i know there is an event with women in the trump administration. >> we have 200 women coming from all across the country joining women within the administration to do three separate panels, talking about some of the big issues facing our country, economy, security, and the opioid crisis. i think it will be an incredible event. this is both a time for us to talk about the things administration has done. also i think more importantly, a time for to us listen to these women from across the country, whether they're small business owners, stay-at-home moms, entrepreneurs, and number of different backgrounds, to hear what their concerns are and things that would help them in their everyday life. that is what we're trying to do is have this open forum. i think it will be really great event. something we're looking forward

to. steve: sounds terrific. sarah, 40 minutes ago we put up a graphic. the media research center studied the big three networks and their evening newscasts and their coverage of the trump administration and the graphic shows that 90% of the time over the last year, the red line is the top for folks looking at home, that's the negative coverage. the positive coverage has been eight, nine, 10%. what do you make of what the big three are doing when it comes to covering your white house? >> look, i have said it before, i will say it again, i think it is disgraceful the way this president is treated. if he was anybody else the media would be going on and on trumpeting his successes. we have the best economy we've had in techdecades. people are back at work. things are going well for america. we have a president that is putting our country first and i think that is something that should be celebrated, not mocked, not laughed at. certainly not attacked every second of every day.

that is something that we see, day in, day out, hopefully the course of this year we'll have a change of heart of some of the media as they get more money in their pockets due to massive tax cuts and tax reform that went into effect as we move into february and start seeing more money in their pocket. maybe they will have a change in their heart too. ainsley: thank you, sarah. major -- forgot the chocolate. >> incredibly disappointed. ainsley, you and brian are right he is looking for an excuse to make another one. glad he is sharinging it with everyone. ainsley: said don't forget the ice cream. steve: i brought one in last week. thank you, sarah. ainsley: get warm. >> thank you. steve: 17 minutes and a half before the top of the hour. fox news alert. 13 children shackled and starving inside of a california home. neighbors are speaking out. what did they know and did they tell anybody about it, brian?
