3:02 am
freedom caucus sucked it up, passed it. it's your serve, senate. and it looks like everyone is in their respective corners with their back-to-back with each other. doesn't look like they are going to get anything done. ainsley: some senators want to delay it again. we have seen that the past four times. steve: some have said let's pass a 15 minute continuing resolution. ainsley: 15 minute? steve: i'm making that part up. garrett tenney is standing live in our nation's capitol where all eyes are on the u.s. senate and what will mitch do next? >> good morning, y'all. republicans are in a tough spot here in the senate. they need 60 votes to break a filibuster. already three g.o.p. senators say they plan to vote against it that means republican leaders will need to get some help from at least 13 democrats. and that is why yesterday house speaker paul ryan said at this point whether or not there's a government shut down is entirely up to the dems. >> senator schumer, do not
3:03 am
shut down the federal government. do not jeopardize funding for our military and for our national security. do not jeopardize funding for the children's health insurance program. it is risky. it is reckless. and it is wrong. >> the house's short-term spending bill or continuing resolution as it's called included several items meant to win over moderate democrats and conservatives. a six-year extension of the children's health insurance program as well as a delay for several taxes associated with the affordable care act. but democratic leaders are upset about what was not included in the bill. a fix for daca. congress has until march to address the dreamers and negotiations to do that are ongoing. top democrats are still insisting that it be included in this spending bill and vowing to block it if it doesn't get included. well, yesterday, president trump warned that our nation's military would be among the hardest hematocrit if democrats don't help avoid a shut down. tweeting a government shut
3:04 am
down will be devastating to our military. something the dems care very little about. now, it's important to remember that even if lawmakers are able to reach a deal, this is only a short-term spending bill. meaning we'll be right back here in just a few weeks facing another government shut down as congress tries to pass a long-term funding bill for the fifth time in the last year. steve: that's the way things work now. ainsley: we are all used to it, garrett. thanks so much. steve: unfortunately. brian: in the interim, if they did their work, if they got the short-term founding bill and just had that month where they're doing work on it, we could understanding. they don't start working on it until two or three days before at which time search grabbing their sides and it becomes a desperate situation which is exactly where we're right now. desperate for the defense department who can't budget. desperate for the chip program that should have been funded months ago. they are both holding key projects hostage. steve: here is what it comes down to, when you look at the bill that passed the house last night it's a good
3:05 am
bill. chip funding for six years. ainsley: for the kids. steve: children's health insurance program for six years. because the democrats have said they have circumstantial made this their alamo there no daca we can't go for this. luckily the republicans are fighting back and mitch mcconnell later on today is going to call in everybody and he is going to make democrats in red states take really hard votes. people living in montana, missouri, indiana, west virginia, ohio, wisconsin, or north dakota, you are going to be looking at this. why did my u.s. senator vote against this? the chip program helps 9 million american children. whereas the democrats are holding it up for a daca deal which would impact at this point 800,000 people who are technically in the country illegally. ainsley: president says some people are getting bonuses. your 401s are up. hour money in your pocket. more jobs coming to america. he said we are winning.
3:06 am
because of that the democrats want to shut down the government and change the narrative. listen to. this again, i really believe the democrats want a shut down to get off the subject of the tax cuts because they work so well. nobody thought, including the democrats, they could work this well. they have been so good that the think the democrats would like to see a shut down in order to get off that subject. that is not a good subject for them, the tax cuts, because of the way they have worked. brian: so far senator schumer says it's all about the daca kids. evidence has a problem. he lost at least one democrat. he lost joe manchin but he gained senator jeff flake and senator lindsey graham. the question is, if it's going to be close are we going to have to turn vice president pence's plane around because is he on trout israel. you need 60 votes but you do not have john mccain. is he struggling back in arizona with brain cancer. so you really have 50 votes. you need 10 democrats. steve: that's why mitch mcconnell wants everybody on the record. that's why he is going to
3:07 am
have a series of votes where he has those people who are u.s. senators from the red states and they are democrats go out on the line and say, yep, i cannot vote for chip, which is politically really hard. rush limbaugh says it's good that the republicans are finally fighting back when it comes to this government shut down. >> republicans don't want the poor to be taken care of because republicans are mean-spirited and extremists and usually the republicans don't fight back but now there is a new sheriff in town, his name is donald trump and he is not putting up with it. this is inspiring other republicans to join him on the battlefield. as they turn the tables on the democrats. so you want to put the military on the shelf for a while? all you care about is 800,000 foreigners? you don't care about the united states military? you don't care about american kids? all you care about is 800,000 foreigners, the dreamers, the daca kids? democrats are not used to this. brian: now you have a situation where they do have
3:08 am
to march 6th to work on the daca situation. actually longer after that judge's ruling thought san francisco. you probably technically have until june no one going anywhere because they said president trump couldn't undo what president obama did and give them instangt justification to stay here. so, i'm just wondering if at this point there is a face-saving measure that republicans could put out that democrats auto could say they got something. yesterday the drama of dick durbin sitting with daca kids crying in the chamber, that's an image that democrats wanting to use for them. ainsley: do you remember back in december the republicans said the president said we will give you daca if you give us the wall. democrats heard that then they see an opportunity when the spending bill comes up in january after that cr last december. now we're readdressing it again. they see an opportunity to say ah-ha in the immigration bill is he going to say we get daca. we don't want that we don't want the wall. let's use it now. we will give you a spending bill if you give us daca.
3:09 am
republicans are saying no, we are not going to do that. steve: you just hit paydirt. it's a spending bill to fund the government. it is not the comprehensive immigration. ainsley: republicans and democrats do. this back in 2013. steve: it's been going on for years, absolutely. ainsley: nancy pelosi called it legislative arsonists. chuck schumer called republicans insane. just the way the government workers. it needs to stop because it's not fair to the rest of america. steve: it is the way government works right now. who got blamed that time? republicans did. going forwards though, you know, the republican made it very clear we know exactly what he wants. he wants the wall. he wants to get rid of visa lottery system and also chain migration. simple way to come together right now they can't. brian: the president yesterday goes to pennsylvania and he wants to get the word out he is working for the working man and working woman. that was theme.
3:10 am
listen. >> the tax cuts are the most significant tax cut, most significant reform in personal history. tremendous tax relief for working families for small businesses, for big businesses that produce jobs. for just about everybody. the signs of america's come back can be seen at companies like this one, which just had its most successful year in its 35-year history. america doesn't belong to the washington power brokers. it belongs to you. with our destiny in your hands, america will once again be a nation that thinks big, dreams bigger, and always reaches for the stars. you're the ones who will restore our prosperity. and you are the ones who are making america great again.

[laughter] ainsley: you always do a great job. steve: 6:13 in new york city. should 5-year-olds pay rent? one mom is charging her kid. she says it's a lesson about living in the real world. but is 5 too early? we're going to talk about that. brian: i think 6. plus, what message will it send to our military if the government shuts down.

our military. we don't want that to happen. i'm here to support our military. steve: president trump says the looming government shut down at midnight tonight would show that democrats care very little about the men and women wearing a uniform serving our nation. ainsley: here to react to that is "fox & friends weekend" co-host peter hegseth. what are your thoughts. >> my thoughts are the troops have not been a priority of the left. they are not a priority in the left. they won't be in this negotiation. they are happy to have it as a chip because they know republicans and especially this president want to properly fund the military. remember sequestration, the budget cuts? those are still in place. they are still crushing our military. they were supposed to be so bad that we would find a way to eventually avoid them. we haven't. if we shut the government down, listen, it may be the right tactic, you will see less training. you will see less readiness and already have the smallest army and least ready army we have had in decades. it is going to hit and it is going to hurt. if it's a priority to get other things done like our budget under control, then who knows it could be worth it.

3:47 am
will come together that will work together on policies that help them. they want a tax reform bill that is actually put together by democrats and republicans. they want a daca fix that is negotiated by democrats and republicans. policies happen. we are not seeing that happen right now. that is what the american people want. two parties work together. brian: respond not only to adrienne but to you what jamie dimon said. the democrats don't have a frequent candidate that is going to lift the economy. forget about all these other things. >> he was spot on. that's exactly why adrienne should answer to why didn't the democrats come to the table when it came to tax reform? >> we were shut out, lawrence. >> no you guys wasn't. we were begging you guys to come to the table. you will have to answer to the american people come february when they see more money in their paycheck and you guys emotional arguments really aren't going to work at that point. people don't care about the emotional arguments anymore. they care about paying for
3:48 am
their kids education. >> yeah, they do. >> living paycheck to paycheck and that tax proposal is doing a lot for the american people. brian: does it concern you at all, adrienne, that there isn't a moderate candidate among the mix who has principles that the party can get behind or do you believe the party has moved so far left that that is the message we want to hear we just don't know it yet? >> no, it doesn't concern me at awesome again, we have a candidate that are possibly running in 2020 who are going to promote very progressive policies and also a lot of moderate policies that will help working class families that we're not seeing right now. again, i want to focus on the fact that we are first and foremost as democrats focused on 2018. we have a lot of momentum going into the mid terms. picking up a lot of seats. >> what are you going to do to actually benefit the american people? that's the problem right now. it seems that you guys have a strategy to talk about all these other issues you guys are fighting for daca. but that doesn't really affect american people. you guys aren't fighting for
3:49 am
jobs. you guys aren't fighting for a quality education with school choice. what is that message that's going to actually benefit people on a daily basis? brian: can you answer lawrence' question? what is that message? >> sure. first of all, republicans have full control of the house and the senate right now and the white house. >> the message is republicans. have you got to do better than that what are you guys going to do? >> okay. what i'm trying to sit here and say, lawrence, is that republicans do have full control so, therefore, we are at their mercy to an extent. democrats want to work with republicans on an array of issues. we want to pass an infrastructure bill that gets people back to work. we want to actually pass targeted permanent tax cuts. >> ladies and gentlemen, there you have it is the republicans. it's not what we are going to do for you guys. it's that the republicans are in control we can't do anything. we won't come to the table. brian: i have to leave it there. i will say this marist put out the generic poll that democrats had double figure

3:55 am
8 microphones built in it. you would want to still tweak your privacy on it. ainsley: how do you do that? >> very, very simple. there are four things you can do. number one, you want to go and open up the alexa app. oh, she probably heard me. i'm sure she did. open up the alexa app. and go into what's called the drop-in settings. this is so -- see, she is talking to us already. ainsley: i'm writing this down. >> go to the drop-in settings and this is like an intercom it makes the echo device connect to other echo devices and you can have it set so that anyone in your contact world could get to you whether they live around the world or whatever. they suddenly are intercomming into your bedroom. wait a minute. you want to tweak that down to either just be the household or whatever you want or turn it off all together. number two, turn off voice purchasing or enable the pin code especially if you have little ones around. because. steve: child bought batman

4:02 am
close. what's interesting is the administration has already said that they would not weaponize the shut down as they did during out obama years. brian: shut down the world war ii memorial. steve: big signs closed because of government shut down. they wouldn't do that. brian: i remember they tried to shut down mt. vernon and mt. vernon says excuse me, we're privately funded can you get your barriers out of here. steve: oopsy daisy. what happens going to happen after the house passed that short-term funding bill? a look at the capitol where time is running out to avoid a government shut down at midnight. brian: the house did their job. they passed a stop gap spending bill overnight to keep the lights on through midnight setting up a senate show down. that's happening today. ainsley: garrett tenney is live in washington where all eyes are on the senate now to do something. garrett? >> good morning, y'all. buckle up for a long weekend. because just about with 17 hours to go until a government shut down, lawmakers don't appear to be any closer to reaching a deal. and republicans are facing an uphill battle to get this done. they need 60 votes in the senate to break a
4:03 am
filibuster. but three g.o.p. senators have already said they plan to vote against the short-term spending bill. that means republican leaders will need to get some help from at least 13 democrats. and that's why yesterday house speaker paul ryan said at this point whether or not there's a government shut down is entirely up to the democrats. >> senator schumer do not shut down the federal government. do not jeopardize funding for our military and for our national security. do not jeopardize funding for the children's health insurance program. it is risky. it is reckless. and it is wrong. >> the house's short-term spending bill or continuing resolution as it's called included a six year extension of the children's health insurance program which was meant to attract democratic votes. it also included a delay for several taxes associated with the affordable care act and that was to win over some conservatives. democratic leaders are upset about what was not included
4:04 am
in the bill. a fix for daca. so far they are standing firm to block any bill that doesn't address the dreamers. today we are told majority leader mitch mcconnell plans to hold a number of tough votes to put the pressure on vulnerable democrats from states that president trump won. and we will see if that works. if not, they are planning to be here throughout the weekend. back to y'all. steve: mitch mcconnell will keep the lights on in the senate even if there is a shut down. garrett, thank you very much. brian: you gout to credit the freedom caucus, too. they did not want to vote for this continuing resolution. you know what they stand for. they realize no democrats, except for handful vote for it they got together and said we are not going to stop it in the house. we are going to push it to the senate. steve: i believe they got concessions on other things. so they were all yeses. kellyanne conway, i believe is on the north lawn of the lawn thiwhite house this mornin. >> good morning. steve: it's gone through the house it looks like the senate democrats are going to road block it. you know, polls show that 70% of americans favor some
4:05 am
sort of a daca fix. but do they favor shutting down the government over that? >> they certainly do not. and it really is regrettable that the democrats are willing to shut down the government, which means not just saying no to president trump, but saying no to our military, saying no to longer term extension of the children's health programs. saying no to federal workers getting their paychecks. look at the paycheck president just yesterday in pennsylvania, bringing ken onto the stage and talking about the raises, the bonuses. millions of americans now are literally receiving. the same people who said no to apple's 20,000 new jobs. said no to the massive tax cut that is repatriating trillions of dollars in wealth, including 38 billion it's estimated from apple alone. said no to the single mom with two children getting a tax break this year that she well-deserves. the same people who said no to that are now saying no to funding our military. no to providing children with healthcare. daca has until march to be fixed. and this president has said
4:06 am
publicly, transparently for the whole world to see that he is willing to do that. he is the great dealmaker and negotiator. but i find it really regrettable that for petty partisan political reasons and also as an audition for 2020, playing to the left wing base you have otherwise responsible members of the senate being willing to shut down the government for this reason. it truly is regrettable. also opioid treatment centers are at risk. sherrod brown in ohio who is up for re-election this year and has one of the most massive opioid abuse and death problems in this nation stood with the president in the oval office just last week as the president signed the act into law. is he going to go home and tell people in ohio because of daca i am not there to fund these opioid treatment centers? it's regrettable. brian: sounds like not going to address it you have until at least march 5th and thanks to court order maybe until june. let me tell what you jonah goldberg said last night on "special report." he said if this government shut down, he goes the democratic messaging runs
4:07 am
against donald trump's interest. chaos is going to get blamed on trump fairly or not. he is i -- republicans are getting momentum. it's starting to look better for 2018. we're not talking about the apple move. we're talking about the shut down. that works to the democrats' advantage. do you agree with that? >> not necessarily, and here is why. 2018 looks very differently than 2010 when president obama, as the party in power, democratic party suffered what he called good old fashioned she lacking. what's different is by 2010, even in 2014, you had democrats trying to justify their votes for obamacare, for the affordable care act which wasn't wearing well. exchanges. premiums were exploding, people were losing their wages, their jobs, certainly their healthcare benefits. quality and access for reduced costs were rising. this is different with the tax cuts. republicans are going to run on the tax cuts and they are going to show what unified government looks like.
4:08 am
and the tax cuts are wearing well because people were lied to. they were lied to for months. this won't pass and if it passes it only benefits the wealthy. it will never benefit the working man, working woman. it's special interest, wealthy, well-connected. that's hot tax code already benefited. under donald trump's leadership and really just a straight party line vote which i think is also unfortunate, you saw democrats resist being on the right side of history's massive tax plan. brian: i know. >> i think that folks see who the resisters are. and who the folks are making progress in this town. and they are going to see that again here. look, when president trump talks about immigration, he has a 70 point immigration plan. he has put forth four major principles that are important in striking this deal. when democrats talk immigration, they only talk about daca. they are not talking about border security. they are not talking about funding that wall. they are not talking about ending chain migration, the visa lottery system. they are thumbing their nose at the 10,000 or so new ice
4:09 am
agents that the president has said in his plan we should have to equip these brave men and women at the border with the resources they need to could their job. ainsley: kellyanne, i know we are going to talk about the president's first year coming up. during the first year the headline has been for us why did the trump campaign get spied on during the campaign. we'll talked about the dirty dossier, fusion gps. yesterday there was some shocking news revealed. many people are saying this is actually worse than guard gate. we wanted to ask but it. house intelligence committee gets this memo that allegedly reveals fisa abuse by senior doj and fbi officials related to the trump campaign investigation. what do you know and how big of a story is this? >> all i will say is that those who are seen it are outraged and are saying #is trending release the memo. all those calling for one year plus of transparency and accountability and let's learn everything we can, let's not leave any stone unturned when it comes to russia and collusion and
4:10 am
shenanigans during the campaign last year, i hope that they stick with that today. and moving forward. so that's what i know. look, when i think the trump campaign, i think of many things. but i have to stay in september of 2016, it was such a moment of inflex and distinction between the two candidates who were running when then candidate donald trump signed a letter promising to do four big things if he was elected president for the pro-life movement. and he has delivered. and today on the 45th anniversary of the march for life, donald j. trump will be the first sitting president to address the march for life through live remarks. he will do it by satellite video feed here in the rose garden. the pro-life movement is so excited that he reinstated mexico city policy. one of the first things he did that taxpayers here aren't paying for abortions abroad. he took away the u.n. population fund where we, again, were forcing our taxpayers to fund abortions and sterilizations abroad. he nominated to the supreme court and indeed got confirmed just neil gorsuch
4:11 am
whose mark on american jurisprudence will last for generations and decades. he filled those circuit courts with 12 judges also in the same mold. and just yesterday it was announced that our department of health and human services now has a new division on conscience, right and protections. this will protect medical students, those practitioners who feel they must choose between their jobs and their conscience rights. why are the little sisters of the poor forced to provide abortions and abortio fascia which when all they are trying to do is help the poor. talk about truth in advertising. ing this logical hem the president's executive order he signed on may 4th how people's faith or conscious should not be bull idea or intimidated or silenced. this is just a big day for us. the vice president last night in the eob had a reception for invited guests from the pro-life movement. he and our second lady mrs. karen pence talked about their work over the years for crisis pregnancy
4:12 am
centers. they went to the march over the years when they had small children. the vice president said something we should all reflect upon. that donald trump is the most pro-life president in our nation's history. and the record shows that. and he is just getting started. he has committed to signing into law that pain capable halfway point 20 week bill where nonpartisan scientists say a fetus can feel pain inside its mother's womb. halfway point of pregnancy. we have to make a decision, folks, are we a nation that looks the other way at abortion in the 8th and 9th month. sex selection abortion. pain capable abortion? are we the one that stands up for the very first right in our founding documents the right to life? steve: it is a big day for the march for life and of course big day as well because today marks the conclusion of the first year of the trump administration. kellyanne, thank you very much for joining us over the last year. >> thank you so much. brian: have a great weekend. meanwhile. steve: he is accuse of a briewttled knife attack on a complete stranger and he wasn't even supposed to be here. guess how many times this illegal had been deported

4:18 am
of amazon has got a house in washington, d.c. is he owns "the washington post" and most important amazon is under huge political attack because of its extraordinary power. bezos needs to be close to politicians to either influence them or get in on the debate. ainsley: are those three cities are they just putting out -- rolling out all the stops? >> all 20 of them are rolling out all of the stops. like newark, new jersey, for example. that's on the list of finalists. outgoing governor chris christie offered them a $5 billion package, the state of new jersey. come on in. $5 billion worth of goodies if you just come here. steve: in georgia, apparently the governor is thinking about calling a special session just so they can consider this particular offer. >> of course. everyone wants an amazon second headquarters. 50,000 highly paid jobs. some very highly paid executives. steve: go to a lower taxed state, right? brian: go to a state that it could help. washington doesn't need any help.

wonder what that's about. 23 million. that's how many viewers the game on sunday. according to nielsen ratings, 35.6 million viewers tuned to fox compared to 48.5 million last season. and that's some of your news by the numbers. now, here is ainsley. instance ains thank you, steve. new rules put in place they university of connecticut including counseling when conservative speaker ben shapiro comes to speak. the university making those changes after chaos erupted during the speech of another conservative commentator. so would there be this kind of stepped up scrutiny for someone that was speaking for the left. joining us now is the president of uconn college republicans tim sullivan. they are the group that invited ben shapiro to come on campus. he was approved. but when the last curve were hod
4:26 am
to change some rules. we need to review everything to make sure that we have conservative speakers that everyone is safe. what were your thoughts when that first change happened? >> my biggest concern with this change is that there is going to be a discrepancy between who is this review process is for. mainly because interest is no descruption fodisruption for. i have been to leftist talks before and you don't have conservative speakers causing disruptions. they let the speech occur and have conversations. it's really our group and other conservative groups on campus going to have to go through this event review process. thousand, there are positive aspects of it i think we can plan for security better this way definitely learning process. have you, yesterday, for example, anita hill came to speak. it was open to the
4:27 am
i actually didn't get the email. ainsley: why didn't you get it? did all students get it? >> key have cultural centers on campus. get this email from the chief diversity officer offering counseling to students who may feel threatened by ben shapiro's presence on the campus. i unnecessary. causes irrational fear. why would they feel threatened by him he is just giving a speech. i think it's a tactic on the left to shut out opinions they disagree with. they just shut it out. he said uconn's letter. students upset by my speech preemptively visit
4:28 am
counselors visit the fear of conservatism runs high on college campuses. what's your reaction? >> this is exactly why the college republicans are uconn. one of our main goal is the an organization is to promote conservatism on campus to. give students opportunity to learn about conservatism they don't get in the classroom. most of our professors on uconn mainly social sciences are left leaning politically so many students don't get the opportunity to learn about conservative values, ideas on public policy and social issues. so we try to make up the gap by hosting lectures, debates, et cetera. ainsley: what's so dangerous about ben shapiro and conservatives? >> i don't know. just words. i think it's pretty good ideology. ainsley: the school -- reached out to the school. the school's intention is to facilitate the speech not prevent it we don't regulate speeches based on content. this is hauerly to make sure it is safe, secure, and protects everyone's rights. your thoughts? >> i will agree with the university and say that they have been helpful in providing security for this event.
4:29 am
and making sure that we have a venue and that we can go through and have a safe event. again, i'm just concerned that other organizations will have to jump through the same hoops. ainsley: why is his open to the public in nita hill's. >> more students expected to come in this event. especially those disrupt the event. hold up signs to block cameras. ainsley: thank you for being with us. >> you are welcome. i appreciate it. ainsley: did you hear what nancy pelosi said about the g.o.p. budget deal? >> this is like giving you a -- a bowl of doggy doo. what does michelle malcolm think about that one? she is next. we have seen vladimir putin riding a horse shirtless, right? doing karate and even catching a massive fish. this latest adventure might top them all. stick around ♪ your friends were so knocked out ♪ you had to have the last word last night ♪ you know what everything's

4:34 am
the host of michelle malkin investigators on crtv she joins us from colorado springs. ainsley: how are you. >> good morning, how are you guys? brian: you heard about the clinton scandal do you even remember, michelle. >> yeah. brian: i didn't mean to put you on the spot. it's all a blur. >> yeah. steve: michelle, what do you make of last night the house passed a short-term spending bill and now they are kicking it to the senate where it looks like the democrats, this is going to be their alamo over daca. they want daca in the spending bill. if it's not they are going to shut down the government. >> right. and i think that that is the narrative that needs to get out there. the democrats are going to shut the government down because of 800,000 illegal aliens. have they ever proposed shutting the government down to protest on behalf of american workers? who have been harmed by immigration policies that have replaced them with
4:35 am
cheap foreign labor? have they ever threatened to shut the government down on behalf of families, of victims, of illegal alien crime? i think what's very useful here is that the priorities are now as transparent as ever. and also that the optics of this, the democrats want to shut the government down at a time when the economy is booming, ciewrnl confidence is at all-time high. and people are happy with the first year of the trump administration and how it's affecting them in their pocketbooks? i mean, if these were private sector image consultants, they would be fired on the spot. ainsley: the house did their job and jimmy kimmel is not happy about it. is he slamming the speaker paul ryan and his plan. he wrote this in a tweet. as you know tying chip to spending bill is not a clean chip vote. it's a transparent bid to lure dems away from daca.
4:36 am
the majority including republicans support a path to citizenship and full chip funding. using kids' lives as bargaining chips is disgusting. so stop it. my question for you isn't that hypocrisy because aren't the democrats doing the same thing? they are trying to tie daca to the spending bill? >> yes, they certainly are. we have to turn this on the left and these celebrity shills for the democrat party. i mean, what is chuck schumer now the communications director for jimmy kimmel? i think this is the second time now that he has tweeted democrat talking points and in fact we know that chuck schumer was consulting with the late night comedian staff if not himself personally. and you are absolutely right, who is holding whom hostage to what? i think that there is a larger point here and i have written about it before when jimmy kimmel has weighed in from his platform in hollywood on policy matters.
4:37 am
why is it that celebrities like this get the moral authority card because they happen to have family members who have chronic illnesses? i have a daughter as you guys know who has chronic illnesses, that doesn't confer me with absolute moral authority to dictate what our health policyst should be. it gives me some insight, certainly but the idea that jimmy kimmel is now essentially the political pope of america? it's ridiculous. does he realize that schiff over the years hachip over the n expanded endlessly and grown so far apart from what the purpose of the program was to allow low income families who were to above the threshold for medicaid and, yet, could not afford private insurance? rather than addressing all the reasons that the cost of
4:38 am
private insurance has spiraled out of control because of government regulations that are driving the costs up? they just want to shovel more money into it and expand it. i mean, we are not having that conversation because, of course, jimmy kimmel is god to whom we must bow down to. brian: things are so polarized at night he is only speaking to people of the converted. no one throughout said honey, that's a great point that jimmy kimmel brought up. plus, he should just be transparent that senator schumer has been advising him. that was during the whole debate before about killing obamacare, repealing and replacing it. so, that didn't come out until after. and now he is getting calls from the minority leader. and that's helping push their democratic agenda. >> yeah. that's right. hollywood meets the potomac. steve: we have two sound bites really big this week the first one was nancy pelosi how she was talking about how companies are giving bonuses to their employees in the wake of the
4:39 am
tax cut where she calls those crumbs and then yesterday when she was referring to chip being aligned with the short-term funding bill, she drew this comparison. >> this is like giving you a, um, a bowl of doggy doo, put a cherry on top and call it a chocolate sundae, this is nothing. ainsley: that's exactly what you want to think about at 7:'30 in the morning, right? >> that's right. i always call these people beltway crap weasels. they should have been putting the crap in crap weasel lately. ainsley: that's all you have to say about that. steve: i think that's it. michelle, thanks for joining us live today from colorado. >> you bet. take care, guys. brian: republicans best way to keep the house would be to run against nancy pelosi. it's worked in the past. if you want nancy pelosi to be your speaker we know how you want to vote. ainsley: her analogies are interesting.

steele's relationship with the fbi? if he was a paid source or he was somebody who was working with them, to go talk to the media, i mean, that is just totally outrageous. and i think that's probably one of the reasons why grassley and graham want steele investigated but, yeah, they are returning interference. they are trying to affect the outcome of the election. there is no doubt about that's what they were doing. steve: one word answer, congressman, after this was released, will heads roll at the doj or the fbi? >> i hope so. steve: thank you very much. ron desantis. brian: he he could be the next governor of florida. thanks, congressman. straight ahead. steve: coming up, treating their dogs better than their kids. brand new details into the house of horrors in california where children were starved, beaten, tortured and only allowed to shower once a year. brian: plus a 13-year-old girl climbs a tree to rescue an american flag that was tangled in that tree. she is here to tell us what inspired this patriotic but dangerous gesture ♪ freedom
