close he was. my big question was if you saw you a bunch of crash on the highway what would you do, jillian. jillian: obviously go pick it up. i would hand it over to the officers though. rob: want a bag, they can come find me. "fox & friends" starts right now. see you later. >> president trump says he looks forward to speaking with the special counsel. >> the president going so far afers to say that he would be willing to talk to mueller ungted oath. >> it will create a constitutional violation of checks and balances and separation of powers for anyone to question the president's actions. >> we can now exclusively report that the department of justice i has now started and recovering. so five months of missing text messages. >> it's huge news. they can get these text messages. there is no way there was a technical glitch. >> those who choose to ghoicket event have put the needs of criminal illegal immigrants over law abiding americans. >> president trump arriving in switzerland moments ago

set to be judged on the world stage. >> he is going to say. this america is open for business again. you should come here and invest. ♪ i want to bang on the drum all day ♪ i don't want to play ♪ i just want to bang on the drum all day. steve: todd rundgren starts the 6:00 hour. midtown manhattan, it's 6:00 a.m. where's your president? he is in switzerland where it's noon. ainsley: that's right. is he there for that conference. this is the first time in 17 years that a sitting president has been there since bill clinton. brian: very interesting. people say why would president trump go there after all it's america first. ainsley: to ski, of course. brian: not. he is going to go down for business. he is going to talk about the america that he is trying to shape. it's america first but not

america alone. is he going to talk about the impact of his tax reform. what is going on with the economy. he also wants to bring home business. that's a great place to do it. ainsley: when america does well, you all do well, too. the world does well. he is one of these mental he is not afraid to face conflict. brian: no. he is not used to conflict. ainsley: most guys would -- most individuals would shy away from this. he is like bring it on. steve: absolutely. he rattled everybody's cage on the world stage a couple days ago when he put tariffs on washing machines and solar panels to impact people who make the same thing in china. ainsley: to encourage buy american. steve: absolutely. the president did tweet out a little while ago he was looking forward. the reporters in the briefing room at the white house were called into the chief of staff's office. they said we're going to have a little off the record talk. can you turn on your recorder though.

in walked the president of the united states. you know what? he did a lot of talking about all sorts of things. we're going to play some of the sound bites. here he is talking about what he hopes to accomplish with the economy. >> the economy is doing very well. >> great. >> i'm going to dabos to get them to bring back a lot of money. invest a lot of money in this country. i made a statement that if they didn't do the regulation, even more important than the tax cuts. the regulations you would have had a much different situation but our people are very happy with their 401(k)s. brian: i was watching dan allen on with axios. he said one more thing i know people have a opinion about how donald trump is going to be received. real anticipation and anxious a lot of people can't wait to talk to him and be with him and find out what he is all about. we have heard reports too from people like senator

lindsey graham. i have never seen anybody in small intimate meetings more powerful and engaging than president trump. this could be a huge opportunity. steve: also there could be a huge photo op. because apparently there are a number of people who have suggested boycotting his comments but then they thought you know, if we boycott, we won't really be making a stand. so instead what they are going to do as soon as he starts to talk apparently a number of people are going to stand up and leave. they are reportedly angry about what he had said, reportedly said in that closed door meeting regarding immigration. he says he didn't say that word. they think it was referring to countries in africa. so it sounds like some of the african delegates may be leaving that. i was told by somebody in the room that day that he wasn't talking about just africa and haiti. he was also talking about europe and asia and pretty much the whole planet. ainsley: we have anthony scaramucci who is also in dash cadavoshe will be on at 8:o

talk about what's happening there. all of these companies in america. we put up a full screen and it might have had 10 companies on there after he announced tax reform. look how many companies are joining these other companies giving bonuses, higher wages. we have to scroll it up because there are so many companies. according to fox news poll people are viewing it in a very positive way. brian: first time in a long time, too. ultimately the corporate tax rate will be reflective of how ceos are they are getting the break of a lifetime and responding and putting politics aside enemy cases. fox news poll is out. has the trump administration made the economy better, worse or the same. >> 40% say better. 22 percent said worse and 34 percent said the same. steve: 40% better. keep in mind, they are

talking about since the beginning of the trump administration. so, in other words, since the obama administration to a year later, 40% of the country says things are going better. ainsley: if you add up the first number and the last up in it's about 75%. three fourths of the country thinks they are just the same or doing great. these are the best numbers we have seen in nearly 20 years. brian: keep in mind, too. great portion of the population who say this is still the obama economy. i saw a poll, not a fox poll most people, 49 to 40% give credit for the surging economy to president obama which is interesting. it's already been a year. steve: one of the other questions that was asked of the people who responded to the fox poll was who was responsible, which political party for the shut down a couple of days ago? 32% say the democrats were responsible. 24% say the republicans. so it looks like more people the democrats. ainsley: no matter how you vote, it's a great number. the economy is doing well. brian: the president was asked about a lot of things yesterday. he does this thing called

answering people's questions directly. hey are you going to speak to robert mueller? many were surprised by his answer, including me. listen. >> are you going to talk to mueller? >> i'm looking forward to it, actually. >> there has been no collusion whatsoever. there is no obstruction whatsoever. and i'm looking forward to it. i guess talking about two or three weeks but i would love to do it. i have to say, subject to my lawyers and all of that. no collusion. i couldn't have cared less about russians having to do with my campaign. the fact is you people won't say this, but i will say it i was a much better candidate than her. steve: so he is looking forward to it and he did mention to his lawyers a couple times. afterwards they went and talked to ty cobb who is his lead attorney. they say he remains committed to cooperating and looking forward to speaking with mr. mueller it. could happen in the next couple of weeks. it's interesting though, one of the news outlets got a list of some of the subjects that they want to talk about. the range of topics.

they want to talk to the president allegedly asking mr. comey to drop the investigation into mike film. they want to talk about the president's reaction to mr. comey's testimony in may of 2017 because we hear according to the news outlet that the president was angry. and finally, the president's outreach to the intel leaders regarding the russia investigation. ainsley: when i heard that the president said yeah, i'll talk to them. i thought that was very smart. because of he is saying i have nothing to hide. his attorneys will be smart not to let him do this because we're dealing with an investigation, many people think, has bias. and many people say it is a trap. and many people say that he speaks -- he just speaks off the cuff. and he could get himself in trouble. steve: could be a hybrid where he answers some questions on paper and then he is allowed to answer in person certain topics. so, in other words, anything about obstruction might be answered on paper whereas he rua collusion in personal.

ainsley: did you notice where he said he could careless. you say i couldn't care less. if you say i could care less it means you could. couldn't. brian: it would be a huge mistake to do it because all these people gave their versions of reality you don't want trump vs. papadopoulos. immigration, three weeks to get something done and put something on the president's desk. form halfly next week. and i think the president has got to put the four things he needs, specifically what he needs. he said some interesting things about what he wants and what he would do for daca kids who are now young adults. he would essentially give them about 9 to 11 years they would become citizens that rocked maybe senator tom cotton's world. we will see. senator joe manchin, one of the people on the democratic party hot president really loves talking to, and here's why. >> we do need a wall. in certain places we need a wall.

i think the president acknowledged that chuck will come around and he will call it border security. someone will call it a wall. whatever it is, we're going to do it. we're going to do what it takes to secure our country. steve: and keep in mind as you think about build that wall which senator manchin says right there the "l.a. times" yesterday confirmed what we had told you earlier in the week and that is apparently chuck schumer offered $25 billion to build that wall but then after everything went south for the democrats, he withdrew that offer. ainsley: that is huge that joe manchin is saying build the wall. this is what compromise looks like. if the president says i will take care of daca, maybe throw in their parents, then you guys give me the wall and that is what negotiation looks like. i have think the american people appreciate that. brian: the president said joe talks a lot but doesn't do a lot. the last time he did vote to put us back on track and end the lockout on monday. so my hope is. steve: 81 to 18. brian: john tester didn't

somebody else need to see in a red state. my hope is he feels empowered now to stand up to his leadership and get something done. that's been the issue. they have been hostage to nancy pelosi and harry reid and now chuck schumer. ainsley: are they protesting outside of his house like they did chuck schumer's? brian: no. not in west virginia. steve: what do you think of joe manchin calling for the wall? email us at friends@foxnews.com. brian: coming up 11 minutes after the hour, could john kerry be eyeing another white house run? what he just said about taking on trump southern believable. and not in a good way. steve: plus, how do americans really feel about that wall we were just talking about? we found out. here is a hint. democrats aren't going to be happy. it's 6:11 new york city. you're watching "fox & friends." ♪ ♪

>> good morning. >> what's going on? >> as you can see, i think the shut dowgood thing the shuts a mini shutdown. when you look at the president's proposals 65% say yes, we want daca to get path to citizenship. we want to curb migration and get rid of the lottery and build a real his stack border. steve: american people are saying the same thing as trump is saying. >> yes. there should be a deal here. democrats and republicans should be able to get together. you know, the extreme right and left of each caucus has made this the most intractable issue for the last 20 years and threatens again america from getting the deal they want certainly along the lines that trump just proposed. steve: it was a big mistake for the democrats to do what they did last week, wasn't it? >> well, i think it would have been a big mistake to

go into tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. they raised a red flag. shutdown of consequence. pulled out of it on monday good thing. laid down a marker and worked for everybody, realistically. steve: so according to your poll, the american people are in line with donald trump's approach to immigration, doing something about daca, building a wall, chain migration and the diversity lottery program. you also, during the time out for the folks at home, you were talking about how you also agree with the fox news poll that shows that the economy is booming and a lot of people are feeling i it. >> well, trump's overall ratings remain around 42. but he is getting 54% approval on the economy and stimulating jobs. if you could figure out how to run the government better, have a better position on some of the other issues, he might approach the kind of credit that he is really getting on the economy which 68, 69% in our last polls see the economy as quite strong which is incredibly remarkable finding.

and at the same time only a third favored the tax reform bill last month. now it's almost a half. so that bill is gaining a lot of traction as more companies declare bonuses. steve: as the companies declare bonuses. also, mark, in a couple of weeks, when the withholding kicks in and suddenly people have a little -- you know, they have 25, 50 more bucks in their pocket every week, they're going to start noticing it? >> well, only 20% think they are getting a tax cut. if the joint center for taxation committee says it's 80%, there is a huge gap there between what people think and what may be coming. steve: what -- overall, as a polster, how do you see americans turning around toward the trump presidency? i know some were reluctant in the beginning. we can't believe this guy is our president. now he is the president. there are a number of people over in davos waiting to talk to him. they want to slap him on the back and say good job with the economy. >> well, look, i think a lot of progress has been made with the economy. but, remember, 70% still

don't like those tweets and his presidency still has a lot of problems. it's a very divided country. i think a strong economy is the bedrock for a good presidency, but he is a long way from achieving that on all fronts yet. so i wouldn't really say that he has tipped his job approval rating. still stay around 42 and our poll slightly higher. steve: interesting stuff. mark penn from the harris poll. mark, thank you very much. >> all right. steve: it's about 6:20 in new york city. come up, democratic mayor's boycotting a meeting with president trump yesterday over sanctuary city crackdown. our next guest showed up and he has a powerful message for the mayors who skipped it. there was a word missing in the tel teleprompter. plus, this carjacker picked the wrong guy to mess with. a vietnam vet. >> so i reach in there and i grab him around his neck. a sorry individual.

democrat or republican. [cheers and applause] >> something has to be done about a system where a few crazed leftist decides they don't want to hear somebody speak and therefore people from the outside, who pay taxes to universities like this one, can't get. in that has to stop. >> why is an event like this so important for first amendment rights? >> i think it's always important for people who are not necessarily the prevailing political view to be able to come on campus and talk to students who are not used to hearing these viewpoints, particularly if they find them discomforting and uncomfortable? todd: the university's response do you think it's overreaction to what happened here a few months ago? [shouting] >> no question overreaction. they are the ones that have to do the security assessment. i'm not going to second guess security assessment. i will second guess their assessment that they need to close it off to the general public. >> i don't care who comes here. let the guy talk and give his opinion. >> free speech is more important than people's feels. there shouldn't be acts of violence because people disagree with one another. >> what do you think of the

university offering counseling to those who may not be able to hansd handle mr. shapiro's speech? >> i think if you can't handle it, then it's kind of sad. most people here, i would think, can handle leftist speaker. todd: packed house here at the ben shapiro event. line stretching around the block. let's go check out the counter event going on at the exact same time. >> this is better alternative than going and give ben shapiro exactly what he wants than people to come and scream at him and protest him so he can go on posting youtube video like ben shapiro destroys like uconn liberals. todd: from what we understand the university is offering counseling for those who don't agree or handle ben shapiro's opinions. what do you think of that. >> i can answer that question. anyone who feels they need mental health services from the university of connecticut is entitled to that no matter the reason. todd: what do you think it says that a university has to limit participation in an

event that 20 years ago would have been open from all sides to have a discussion? >> that's crazy there should be a full discussion between all sides and be able to actually hear all points of view, especially at college campus. >> it's a great thing universities have people like me and yes, like the personal who is speaking opposite on me on this campus to give variation of ideas. that's a wonderful thing. thank you so much. i really appreciate it thank you for coming out. todd: now the crowd at shapiro's event 500 people. many more turned away. it was fascinating way. steve: what did they cap the attendance at the democratic rally at. >> i didn't get the number it looked like they were pretty good. you heard the comments there about counseling. steve: who was that guy who came in. >> he just came in and totally man splained that young lady who was given eloquent counter to ben shapiro. that's what he wants, he wants a dialogue where views are expressed and everybody learns from the view. that guy came in and shut that poor woman down and i thought it was horrible. it was total man splaining

he said we need counseling for everything. ainsley: did anyone show up to get counseling. >> i don't know the answer to that. there are people who really do need counseling. counseling is a serious matter. people have serious issues who need the best counseling possible but not for this. brian: ben shapiro is not career. he is not the reason. if you show up for counseling because of ben shapiro, i think you are way over due. steve: yes you probably are. ainsley: it was peaceful. there were any fists thrown, no fighting. >> what was good, first amendment on display. ainsley: that's right. steve: uconn hats off to you fair and balanced. todd: fair and balanced. steve: thanks for getting up so early on a late night. brian: we get our counseling during the break. that's what we are going to now. could john kerry be eyeing another white house run. keep your fingers crossed. what he just said about taking on trump to me is out of bounds. ainsley: plus democratic mayors boycotting meeting with the president over his new sanctuary city

your headlines, guys. scary scene though. steve: no kidding. brian: we booked the story yesterday on "fox & friends." the department of justice now threatening to subpoena nearly two dozen cities if they don't hand over information on their sanctuary policies. ainsley: some democratic mayors, they didn't like that, so they divided to boycott a meeting on infrastructure with the president at the white house. >> and the mayors who choose to boycott this event have put the needs of criminal illegal immigrants over law abiding americans. steve: so was this just another political stunt from the democrats in another attempt to resist the president? right now, here is a mayor who is at the meeting. he is from mckenny, texas. mayor george fuller. mayor, good morning to you. it was on fractur infrastructurd opioids. >> we had an opportunity to

talk with the president. talk with staff from governmental affairs on infrastructure, opioids was a bit of a discussion but really was an opportunity for us to air our grievances and just talk about, you know, future plans of with the trillion dollars coming for infrastructure in this country and how far our cities could benefit. so it was a meeting well worth having. ainsley: mayor, there were a lot of democratic mayor's that did show up. mayor de blasio the mayor of new york city decided to skip the meeting. here is a sound bite from him and then we will get your reaction. >> i came down here ready to have a serious meeting. what i got was a publicity stunt from the trump administration. if there had not been this obviously premeditated attack on the cities i would have gone to the meeting. ainsley: putting the illegals ahead of law-abiding citizen. what are your thoughts. >> boy, that's a tough one. i do believe we are a country of laws. and so we certainly need to abide by them. we have ways in this country

to change those laws when we don't agree with them. so, you know, my city is a city -- we're fortunately not having to deal with those items. we are a city with a law enforcement department that works closely and has continued to work closely with local, federal, state officials. so, you know, i think they missed an opportunity is what i think. choosing not to be heard and to have a meaningful dialogue that benefits our community. and i think that was what was missed by those who didn't attend. brian: no kidding. two reasons to go, one, it's the right thing to do, you are invited to the white house. number two you are an elected official you go. whether it's president obama, president clinton, president bush or president trump. number two is what other opportunity do you have to be heard by the president and his staff? what is your job? your job is to give a voice to the people of mckinney, texas and this guy's job is to give a voice to the people of no, and let them

know about infrastructure coming down the pike and money about to be freed up. time to speak up. not play politics. usually mayors don't play politics like. this yeah. i feel mayors nonpartisan position. for me to let my political views or an opinion on any single subject would be a disservice to the community. i mean, i'm here to represent our community. brian: exactly. >> to find out how our community can benefit and to take a stand against something and lose the opportunity that we had, i don't see it as something that i would have done. certainly they must have reasons that i'm just not familiar with. steve: right. you wouldn't do it. but, imagine the people who live in the cities where the mayors did boycott and the reason they boycotted according to the president is they were putting the needs of criminal illegal aliens over the law abiding americans. >> again, just missing an opportunity to represent your community and to be

it, actually. there has been no collusion whatsoever. there's no obstruction whatsoever, and i'm looking forward to it. steve: so, should the president do that and what would it look like? let's talk to the judge. what do you think? >> well, the bottom line is, you don't talk to a guy that owns the grand jury. bob mueller owns two grand jury, one in virginia and one in washington, d.c. look, the president is convinced he has done nothing wrong. but the president couldn't possibly know what bob mueller knows about the case. the thousands of documents he has seen and the hundreds of witnesses that he and his team have investigated. this is what wee call a perjury trap. it's not actually perjury because the president would not be under oath. steve: he said he would do it under oath. >> under oath means in front of a grand jury which is even more dangerous for him. ainsley: does he really have a choice? because last night on sean hannity's show alan dershowitz, professor, he said if they ask him to come and speak to him, he doesn't

have a choice. >> he has a choice to decline to speak to bob mueller. his prosecutors and his investigators. if he is subpoenaed by the grand jury, he has no choice. there he will have to decide whether or not to invoke the fifth amendment. if he invox the fifth amendment, word gets out that would be politically catastrophic. legally that will protect him. if he answers and answers the way we know he likes to answer or he doesn't always. ainsley: off the cuff. >> most respectfully an economy of words, is he going to give them an opportunity to trip him up. they tripped up george papadopoulos. they tripped up mike flynn. they are expert at doing that you can't talk somebody out of charging with you a crime if they are determined to do it. brian: so, judge. what about all his years? he does have a lot of experience in depositions, right? he has a lot of lawsuits when he deals with business levels at&t this level. so is that going to help him? >> that is a great question, brian. but in that environment, he has seen the documents about which he is testifying. here he has not. he doesn't know what they

know about him. he doesn't know what others have said under oath about him. it is very easy for them to trip him up and get him to say something that is contradictory to what he already said. ainsley: he is smart to say i will do it, i have nothing to hide. actually my attorneys won't let me do it? >> his attorneys have been saying they want him to do it because he wants to do it. i just hope that they don't because it's a very, very dangerous environment. let me put it this way, in all the years that i have been able involved in this end of the legal profession. i never heard of someone talking prosecutors out of charging him. when did you go to talk to them, you make it worse. steve: judge, the department of justice came out last night and they said hey, house of representatives, you can't release that fisa memo that they are trying so hard to do because national security, blah, blah, blah. >> i am furious over. this i haven't seen it, of course. but it's been described by members of the house intelligence committee as

career ending, kbg like. lawless behavior. steve: no wonder they don't want it out. >> by the nsa, our domestic spying apparatus and intelligence division of the fbi. this committee sat on this while congress expanded fisa. so, 22 members of congress knew these secrets of lawless behavior by nsa and the rest of congress did not know about it the 22 sat on it while the rest of congress debated and expanded fisa. ainsley: so who is going to win? >> the rest of congress should have known what the house intelligence committee knows. if the house intelligence committee doesn't vote to release it, i encourage any member of the house intelligence committee to go to the floor of the house and read it into the record. because the speech and debate clause of the constitution protects members of congress from the consequence, the legal consequences of what they say. steve: how they going to get the copy though? isn't it still in the scif in the secret room. >> they can characterize it i'm not suggesting somebody

steal a document. but somebody can certainly from their memory tell everybody what's in there why does the government treat us like we are children? why don't we know who has abused the power we have given them. steve: right. >> who knows of the abuse and who knowingly looked the other way? brian: jim jordan thinks it's been over 200 republicans who have showed up to view that document. no democrats that he knows of have shown up to view that document. steve: i think one. >> i don't know what the democrats are up to. they should be as interested in transparency as of us. brian: all right, judge. those fbi lovers traded thousands of anti-trump texts but lots of them are now missing are we any closer to finding them? there is big news on that this morning via sean hannity. ainsley: despite thinking what you might think millennials are getting houses in order. one in six have over 6 figures. brian: they don't spend anything.

going right in the bank rather than blowing it. ainsley: is that what is happening, chris? >> not all millennials are sitting at home and doing that but you have some. but you have a lot that are focused and intentional and they are listening to the message. they are understanding that they have to take control of their own financial future. so it's encouraging. 16% have 100,000 saved. hopefully it's not sitting in a bank account. hopefully it's being invested. steve: one the things they are not doing is not saving enough generally, right? >> that's correct. that's not just millennials, that's everyone in america. 70% of people are living paycheck to paycheck. that's scary. we are all one thing away from having an emergency. having that habit of saving really helps you build up a cushion between you and life happening. ainsley: so what are the stressors and how do they tackle these? >> well, the first one is obviously not saving enough. that's where i think you start to step back and really understand you have to cut back your lifestyle. have you got to start to take control of things and

really understand where your money is going. so walking through, having a budget, telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went will put you more in control. so you can build up an emergency fund of 3 to 6 months of expenses. steve: also, have you got to have a career path. everybody has a plan. if you have a job, figure out where it's going to lead, right? >> yeah. a lot of people are feeling stuck in their careers. this is baby boomers, genx. find a mentor somebody inside the company you are working or outlines of that i had a great mentor outside of high school that was able to give me practical guidance that i was able to put into place. so when we feel in control of our future, we actually feel better. work the game plan, take online course, go back to school. do something that moves you forward. ainsley: what do you recommend for saving for retirement. >> oh the good old 401(k)s and 403 b's. if you are working in a job and have access to that i definitely want you to take control of that also, if you

are working in a gig economy. make sure you are doing solo 401(k)s or sep's. steve: thanks, chris. >> thank you very much. ainsley: newt gingrich and anthonydn scaramucci here live next. for any sort of discomfort in yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it.

camera but on the record to a group of reporters at the white house. listen to what he said about his trip. >> the economy is doing very well. >> great. >> i'm going to davos to get them to bring back a lot of money. they are going to invest a lot of money in this country. i made the statement that if we didn't do the regulation-cutting, which i think is actually maybe more important than even the tax cuts, but the regulations, i think you would have had a much different situation but our people are very happy actually with their 401(k)s. >> and a new fox news poll showing that president trump finally getting credit for the burgeoning economy. 40% have responded, registered voters say they think this administration's policies have made the economy better versus 22% of people who say that they have made the economy worse. the big buzz here at davos though is the president's america first agenda. you know, this is a gathering of globalists. they want to share the wealth sort of thing. and they want trade practices that benefit

everyone around the world. the president has said that he wants to make sure that we have got trade practices that benefit the united states first. earlier this week he signed what's called that 201 action, slapping 30% tariffs on solar panels as well as washing machines. that has had an impact here. yesterday wilbur ross at a press conference suggested that trade wars happen all the time, only this time u.s. troops are now at the ramparts. that prompted angela merkel allege globalist herself to issue a warning yesterday. listen here. >> this generation that was born after the second world war will have to prove that we have truly learned a listen. lesson. we think that shutting ourselves off from the rest of the world, isolating us will not lead us into a good future. protectionism is not the proper answer. >> despite what merkel said there the secretary wilbur ross saying this morning there is a growing recognition that the world

trade system needs to be fixed or at least adjusted a little bit. to level the playing field more. that's one of the things that the president is going to be talking about here in davos tomorrow. he has that big address to the world economic forum. tonight, he is meeting with a small group of european business leaders. he is actually hosting a dinner for them. these are people whose companies already have a substantial footprint in the united states and the president will be encouraging them to spend a little more money in the u.s. steve: for sure. >> feel free to come visit us any time in the davos bureau. brian: i guess you will only be there a little while. who is with him? i understand his chief of staff john kelly not with him. who are his confidantes that made the trip? >> well, of course, you know the press secretary is with him. and he has got a lot of members of his cabinet are with him as well. steve mnuchin is here. weu8 burwilburross is here. they have been here a couple of days. the team is here and trying to sell the united states to the world economic forum. it's really interesting

though when you think that president trump when he was a businessman never got invited to this thing. they didn't want him as part of the group. but now that he is president, they have got to pay tension to him. steve: real quick, john, we heard there is a possibility when he gives the speech there could be a walkout because some people are steamed about some comments he may or may not have made. >> you know, that's always the case with this president, that, you know, is he a polarizing figure and he invites some people to express their dissatisfaction with him. you know, you can certainly have some people walk out of his address tomorrow. i would expect that the world leaders, the business leaders wouldn't, but, you know, there is a loft people on the periphery as well who wants to be part of the social agenda of davos, it's quite possible that some of them could walk out tomorrow. ainsley: i don't think the president cares. he is not there to serve angela merkel. is he there to serve the american people. steve: john roberts there in davos, switzerland. anthony scaramucci is going to be joining us live from davos, switzerland. as we continue the split

collusion whatsoever. there is no obstruction whatsoever. and i'm looking forward to it. i don't know, i guess you are talking about two or three weeks but i would love to do it. again, i have to say, subject to my lawyers and all of that but i would love to do it. no collusion. i couldn't have cared less about russians having to to do with my campaign. the fact is you people won't say this but i will say it. i was a much better candidate than hers. brian: the question is does the president mean it? does he actually really want to talk to robert mueller? my sense is, yeah. he likes challenge. he likes to be in the arena. my sense is though that legal experts say there's more downside than upside, including judge napolitano. listen. >> the bottom line is you don't talk to a guy who owns the grand jury. and bob mueller own twos grand juries. one in virginia and one in washington, d.c. look, the president is convinced he has done nothing wrong. but the president couldn't possibly know what bob mueller knows about the case. the thousands of documents

he has seen and the hundreds of witnesses that he and his team have investigated. this is what we call a perjury trap. it's not actually perjury because the president would not be under oath. steve: so there is a possibility, according to the experts, mr. mueller might speak with the president in the next week or two. meanwhile, sean hannity last night reported the department of justice, you know those five or six months worth of missing texts between those love birds at the fbi. the fbi on friday extraordinarily said we can't find them. well, apparently, the department of justice is now able to locate some of them and they may not have been missing at all. was it part of the deep state? listen to mark levin, the commentator. >> the fbi sought to interfere in our election. i'm not talking about the men and women who work at the fbi. i'm talking about the top echelon. they sought to interfere with our election and they sought to interfere in our elections in worse ways than the russians did. how is it that barack obama is never questioned about

that this midterm election could tilt the balance of power to the democrats. in fact, it's almost conventional thought. our next guest says don't be so sure republicans have more than a puncher's chance. james freeman the assistant editor of the "wall street journal" editorial page and fox news contributor. james, what is the backup to your theory that republicans are not dead in the water yet in the house as tradition would say? >> the backup is they just passed a great tax cut which is already working. the president said yesterday no one expected this. we kind of thought you would see long-term gains. more investment in the united states. have you got more than 100 companies saying you're going to see the bonuses immediately. people are going to start seeing more take home pay next month when withholding changes. so this is really a political gift along with an economic gift because for republicans, people right now, most -- many people in polls don't think they are getting a tax cut. once they realize they are, republicans get stronger.

brian: president even indicated yesterday he is surprised. surprised about the number of companies come forward and say i'm giving you bonuses clearly not in his camp. tim cook not a make america great again guy. did he it verizon yesterday, here's the president approval and his job numbers right now. 45%, according to the fox poll that just came, in approve of his overall job pretty high for him. 53% disapprove. approval on the economy 51% approve and 41% disapprove. >> fascinating almost like a switch was turned after slow first quarter when obama handed off the oval office to mr. trump, the economy immediately moved from 1.2%, second quarter above 3% growth and it's continued ever since. but i think the point of that poll is economics is often what drives elections. and i believe that's the best economic reading for the president in your poll all year. and you are seeing it, it's

not just the fox poll, you are seeing it in harvard harris. he now is winning on the economy. and that is generally the driver of election results. brian: james, a couple things that are wild cards. the president is going to attack trade. two tariffs out there that might curtail things. might give people a sense of nationalism. the other thing that could happen is the russia investigation. we don't know where that's going. >> i don't think the russia investigation is going anywhere. i think you are right. the biggest threat to republicans' political prospects is the trump trade and immigration agenda. the president should be proud of the stock market gains since he was elected. the deregulation, the tax cuts, they're working. the big threat is screwing up the global economy and our economy with going too much regulation of trade and immigration. brian: clinton lost 52 seats, reagan lost 26. we will see what happens.

>> from this day forward, it's going to be only america first, america firs first. as president of the united states i will always put america first. >> make america great again. america first. we put america first now. for us it's america first. that's the way it is. brian: that is the president in a series of speeches with one theme, very similar outfits. talking about america first, which is very interesting thing to have that phrase as did you go to the world economic summit with the who's who with people with big bucks. steve: of globalists. what's going to be the message there and is it true what we heard axios say yesterday that there is a lot of intrigue about what the president is going to say and how is he going to hold himself on the world stage. ainsley: let's bring in newt gingrich, fox news contributor and former speaker of the house and

g.o.p. presidential candidate 2012 and author of vengeance. thanks for being with us, mr. speaker. what do you think about this message? we have heard the president in the past say when he goes to conferences and meets with world leaders they have their best interest in mind. it's time america do the same. >> look, i think trump has been exactly right on this whole theme from the very beginning. we went through a cycle where we had people who thought you should submerge the united states in some vague global system, but there no global system. i fully expect the chinese president to put china first. i suspect the saudi king to put saudi arabia first. we watch putin every morning put russia first. merkel puts germany first. i think he is being honest. he is not there for some vague global generalization. does he want alliances? sure. if they are good for america. does he want trade deals? sure. if they are good for america. and he expects the other side to have the same attitude. you know, macron of france who he seems to get along

with very well, he wants the best deal for france but that means that he is going to represent france and trump is going to represent the u.s. i think it will be fascinating. brian: i know. this is a president who came off of a bunch of big wins. now he has a chance to have another big win in davos and come home to the state of the union. he could be on a pretty big roll by mid february. steve: you could be right. newt, let's talk about a figure story, it was our lead story yesterday. that is the two anti-trump love birds at the fbi, when the fbi, the department of justice was handing over to the congress on friday a bunch of the messages, they said and by the way, we are misses five months worth. according to sean hannity now they have been able to start to recover some of them. we don't know how they are doing it, whether it's the nsa or maybe they just went weren't missing to start with. they weren't really lost.

they were somewhere. what does this say to you about what game the fbi might be playing with all of us? >> well, i mean, first of all, i think 98% of the fbi agents are hard-working, very serious about enforcing the law. the people that we have always respected. but for some reason at the very top in the last few years, have you had a bunch of people who, frankly, have been running a corrupt operation. and. steve: why do you say corrupt? >> it's corrupt in the sense that first of all they are not obeying the law. their primary interest is not the law. when you have somebody say let's get together so we can have a secret group to undermine trump, that's a pretty huge break in the american system. you know, and when you discover, for example, that apparently they believed at the very top that the fix was in all along that hillary was never going to be charged, which is why she

was never put under oath, which is why she could never commit perjury, i mean, you are not talking about the attorney general, the president of the united states, the head of the fbi, mr. comey at the time, that's pretty wild. brian: right. >> one meeting they refer to is andy mcnabb, the number two guy at the. ainsley: mccabe. >> mccabe. running as a democrat. at some point you have to say what's the deal here. brian: right right. >> i think it looks amazingly fishy. brian: separate note the robert mueller investigation seems to be coming to a close i hope, i think everybody hopes and probably culminating with an interview with the president. if he was to call you, and he might, say what should i do here, newt, what would you tell him? >> listen to your lawyers. i'm not a lawyer. i think anybody who deals with that kind of investigation, without first rate lawyers and anybody who

doesn't listen to the advice of first rate lawyers is very foolish. i also make this prediction. mueller will not go away quietly. mueller will find somebody to indict for something. i would be shocked if he brought that number of high class democratic lawyers who are very highly paid, got them to divert their career for six months to a year and then said oh, by the way, there was nothing there. now, you do have, of course, some of those tweets you are talking about were, in fact, or, rather, the text messages were, in fact, saying the number two guy in counter intelligence saying i don't know that i want to go to work for mueller because i don't think there is anything there. ainsley: um-huh. there is no there there. >> this is a guy who hated trump but did not believe there was anything legally serious in what muller was looking into. ainsley: what do you think about john kerry. the news this morning is that john kerry was telling an ally of mahmoud abbas that he might one run for president in 2020 urging them to play for time and

not give in to trump. steve: according to the jerusalem post. brian: and to personally attack donald trump. >> that would surprise me. kerry knows as a former secretary of state, former u.s. senator that that kind of advice would be stunning unpatriotic. and i don't think that john kerry would do something like that. i hope he wouldn't. i am perfectly happy for him to run for president. look, the more democrats who decide that they will run for president, the better off we are going to be in 2020. i think trump will beat any of them. it doesn't concern me very much. i think the economic boom we are starting into is going to, in fact, perform very well this fall for republicans. and i think that it's going to perform very well for trump in 2020. pause the contrast between the democrats' inability to create jobs for 8 years and what trump is doing is going to be so great that i think the country will vote for more jobs and higher take home pay and a better

future. it's not complicated. so kerry can run if he wants to. it's a free country. i would be very, very surprised if secretary of state, senator john kerry would have said anything that was that overtly anti-american. brian: because it's way out of bounds. steve: no kidding. all right, newt. thank you very much. >> it's crazy. steve: thank you, sir. have a wonderful day. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian who has headlines for under the circumstances. jillian: good thursday morning to you guys and to you at home. let's start with this headline. russian spy ship is lurking lurg miles away from the u.s. coast. tracking off norfolk, virginia. the ship designed to pick up communication signals and spotted heading north from the caribbean last week. last year it traveled down from connecticut passing several u.s. navy bases. a college professor is pledging to protect and accommodate her illegal immigrant students. according to campus reform, english composition professor brethren that gomez has a clean dream act now section in her syllabus at the university of new

under budget and acknowledged sometimes there are mountains, sometimes there are rivers, sometimes the fence just needs to be fixed. senator joe manchin said let's get passe past it, i'm in. >> we do need a wall. in certain places we need all wavmentd i think the president has acknowledged that chuck will come around and call it border security. some will call it a wall. whatever it is, we're going to do it. we are going to do what it takes to secure our country. ainsley: we heard from some of you. and galen says kudos to mr. manchin i believe he is truly one of the democratic lawmakers who is honest and who actually cares a lot about the american people. good for him for stating the obvious. >> we need the wall. build that wall. steve: woody emailed some democrats may feel that manchin's concession on the wall is crack in armor it's not. it's statesmanship and both sides need a lot more than that. brian: email from todd nice to see that some are reasonable democrats. manchin should lead instead

of chuck schumer. more level-headed dems should step up. u.s.a. could be amazing for everyone and a bit more peaceful. not the only one to say that chris coons also seems fed up with his leadership. ainsley: gigi writes, finally a dem who knows the will of the people. steve: keep in mind joe manchin is from a state where a gigantic majority not only voted for the president of the united states but promote his policy of stronger border security even though joe manchin a democrat. ainsley: is he from that state where hillary clinton went in and said i'm going to shut down your coal mines and all the minors are like hold on we are voting for the other person. brian: i don't know i'm running for re-election. they know the minute manchin steps away they lose that state immediately. looks like is he going to go. everyone seems upset with chuck schumer. the president said yesterday i will still deal with chuck. i like him. we grew up together. that was interesting tact. steve: let's see.

ainsley: grew up in new york. steve: anthony scaramucci is going to be here. he will talk america first and the booming economy from davos. ainsley: plus, have you heard some members of congress are planning to wear black to the president's state of the union address next week. what is that going to prove? we're going to talk to someone who has a problem with it ♪ there is superstition ♪

♪ ♪ ainsley: well, some members of congress are planning to wear black next week to the president's state of the union address and a show of support for the me too and the time's up movement. but in an op-ed our next guest argues that will help no one. penny nantz writing this, quote: congress can start by releasing the list of congressman and senators who have used taxpayer dollars

to keep their victims quiet. al list is release you had, no one is going to take a campaign of color-coordinated outfits seriously. penny nantz joins us now. she is the president and the ceo of concerned women for america. thank you so much for being with us, penny. >> thanks for having me. good morning, ainsley. ainsley: good morning to you. you say that time's up for buying in to that allusion. this is what you write time is up for buying in to the allusion that a color really helps. you say that's nothing more than a gesture. why do you say that? >> that's right. that's right. you know, any self-respecting congressman or congresswoman has a black suit. so to simply go in your closet and put it on and go to the state of the union is self-congratulatory and aggrandizement but it doesn't really help the victims. you know, we know there was 234 complaints and they were settled quietly, sometimes out of office funds. sometimes through the office of compliance. and we still don't know who

the taxpayer footed the bill for. we can't hold people accountable if we don't know, if there's not transparency. so concerned women for america has called on congress to give us those names. we can decide as the voter and taxpayer whether or not they deserve to stay. the other issue is the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of women around this country waiting for their d.n.a. test to come back, that were rape victims in states there is backlogs around this country. if those congress men and women really want to do something, they need to go back to their states, make sure that those are cleared up, work with doj to make sure there is no more backlog going forward and actually do something for their colleagues for the young woman answering the phone in their offices, wearing a black outfit does absolutely nothing. it's simply a gesture. ainsley: so are they hypocrites? >> i think it is hypocritical. i think it sounds good. it's a sound bite. we live in a world, i get

it, of social media, #diplomacy, #p.r. let's make some real effort here. they have the opportunity. the very women that will be wearing are the very women who gave bill clinton a pass 30 years ago. they can make this right. they need to do the right thing. ainsley: you bring up such as excellent point i love your op-ed. this is a serious issue. why don't we have that list yet? >> we are calling on congress relentlessly. concerned women for america want to know. we are not going to let it go. we are not going to ignore it and pretend it didn't happen. the taxpayer had to pay some portion of $17 million. we don't know. we have seen a few members resign. we have seen a few more say that they're not going to run for re-election. we just had a member of the ethics committee that is supposed to be handling this issue come forward. you know, there is a problem here that culturally and we can make this better. we can do better. at the end of it the country

in destablizing behavior and keep up the fight against isis but the president also here to say, come on, world leaders, let's do business in america. we have tax reform, regulatory reform. it is a whole new ballgame doing business with the united states. let's see what the president said off-camara meeting with reporters last night. >> doing very well. i'm going to davos to get them to bring back a lot of money. we will invest a lot of money in this country. i made the statement we didn't do the regulation-cutting which i think is, maybe more important than even the tax cuts but the regulations. i think you would had a much different situation. but our people are very happy. especially our people are very happy with their 401(k)s. >> new "fox news poll" released that the president is getting some credit for the new economy. greatest number of people, 40%, say they believe the trump administration policies are making the economy better,

versus 22% of people who say they are making it worse. in quick off-camera briefing with reporters, the president weighed in on the mueller russia investigation, saying he is looking forward to speaking with the special counsel and that unlike hillary clinton in her interview in june of 2016, the president may do it under oath. listen to what the president said. >> are you going to talk to mueller? >> i'm looking forward to it actually. there has been no collusion whatsoever. there is no obstruction whatsoever. and i'm looking forward to it. they're talking about two or three weeks. but i would love to do it. i have to say, subject to my lawyers and all of that. there has been no collusion. i couldn't have cared less about russians having to do anything with my campaign. the fact you people won't say it, i will say it. i was a much better candidate than her. >> president saying no collusion between the campaign and russians to influence the

election. the key phrase uttered, subject to my lawyer's decision much since the president said, that his legal team is suggesting that you know, that will be subject to the advice of his attorneys. sources close to the investigation tell me that the white house has delivered thousands, upon thousands of documents to the special council's office, memos, decision-making memos, schedules, things like that, everything dealing with the issues at hand. why would you take the risk of having the president do an interview with robert mueller that could go down a million different rabbit holes. there is pressure, steve, ainsley, brian, to keep the president away from the special counsel. steve: you're right about that. john roberts life in davos, switzerland. ainsley: where anthony scaramucci is there. we'll take to him at 8:30 this morning. steve: we'll talk a little bit about this the tax cut wind fall. sound like two or three weeks the withholding tables will be

changed. folks when they look at their paychecks will see more money in their wallets. 70, to 80% of america, starting then. but then you look at number of companies that have given bonuses, crumbs to their employees of 1000 or 2000, that number has skyrocketed. ainsley: in the beginning when the tax reform bill was passed the next day there were a few companies that said we'll give back money to our employees. now that list continues to grow. and we have, i believe, we have an image showing you, here it is, of so many companies giving back to their employees and look, we have to scroll it up. that is how, that is how long the list is. steve: the crumb scroll. brian: one of companies is verizon. paul ryan very creatively tweeted out to nancy pelosi, can you hear me now? the tax plan is working. it really is. i also saw things in the "wall street journal," i say that because i want to brag, that i'm reading "the wall street journal" they say the housing market's best year since06.

he is almost there. that was right after the election. brian: we'll see where it goes. so much has to happen before november. so many people give the house to democrats. this economy continues to soar. state of the union. so much thing to happen. russia thing. one of the big stories you cared most about yesterday, the federal government move to the department of justice i will crack down on sanctuary cities. if you do not start complying with federal law we'll take this money away. it's a threat. democratic mayors took it at that. in response many did not show up to the president's infrastructure meet the mayor moment at the white house yesterday. steve: keep in mind the department of justice sent out these notices, subpoenas to 23 different localities, look you have to prove you're following federal rules. if you do not we'll with hold the burn grants and could claw back money from 2016. a dozen or so mayors did not

show up. over 100 did. bill de blasio the man who runs the sanctuary city we're sitting in, he didn't go. this is what he had to say why he didn't show up at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> that is the day they sided to single out at group of cities. i came down here to have a serious meeting, what i got was a publicity stunt from the trump administration. ainsley: the president has a message for him and all the other mayors that boycotted. listen. >> sanctuary cities are the best friend of gangs and cartels like ms-13. the result in the death rate around sanctuary cities and for innocent americans is unacceptable. my administration is committed to protecting innocent americans and the mayors who choose to boycott this event have put the

needs of criminal illegal immigrants over law-abiding americans. brian: just like i think democrats in many ways were tone deaf they thought that america wanted daca, sure, but not in ex change for shutting down the government. again these mayors say i'm staying home, i would rather stick up for illegals than find out about infrastructure project for people who are actually paying taxes. mayor george fuller joins us earlier from mckinney, texas. he was in the white house yesterday. he decided to go. listen to what he said about the mayors that didn't. >> position of mayors are non-partisan position and for me to let my political views or an opinion on any single subject would be a disservice to the communities. just missing an opportunity to, to represent your community and to be heard on issues important to your community, just not something that i feel would have been prudent for me and

certainly i question those that did. ainsley: i agree with him completely. when the president asks you to come, no matter whether you voted for him or not, you go there. you go to the white house. if you want to get something done and see change you to so negotiate with the president. steve: if you want to have a part of pie you have to be there when they cut it up. mayor of mckinney, texas was there. the mayor of new york city not there. not that we need infrastructure here. brian: everything's fine. steve: great. brian: babe ruth was on my subway yesterday. that is when they built the subway. they have not updated the cars yet. steve: it was a babe ruth era subway car. brian: better said. i don't think he was on it. i would have recognized him. steve: top democratic congressman adam schiff for the russian #release the memo. it is the american people behind the massive social media push. a former fbi agent and

congress talking about how there is a four-page fisa memo every american should be. so #release the memo has been out there, democrats think americans don't want it, it must be the russians, right? >> i guess we can add that to the investigation what the source of this is, i think plenty of people in this country want to see this. steve: absolutely. apparently twitter's internal analysis shows that authentic american accounts and not russian i imposters or automated bots are driving this. regarding the memo, why do you feel that it is something that every american should see, as a former fbi guy? >> yeah, i mean, our job, steve, in our oversight role follow the facts wherever they lead, report the facts with unimpeachable integrity. the job of fbi investigators. i would be hesitant in a situation like this. given media attention, all the questions surrounding this investigation, it is very

important, this is important for any fbi investigation, that the public have confidence in the integrity of that investigation. have read the memo, along with several of my colleagues. in my estimation, having exposure and experience with fisa and title 3 wiretaps there are no law enforcement confidences. we have the right to no need for the confidentiality and the balances tip in the transparency here. steve: interesting when you were at the fbi you worked in political corruption and you would know that. department of justice and hey, house of representatives you can not release it there are bunch of secrets in it. you read it. you have got the expertise. they're not right? >> well you know they're entitled to their view. i can understand why they take that position but there is process of declassification. that is all part of this

process. the most important thing is that we don't jeopardize any national security interests. that that, the memo be scrubbed. but there is a public transparency and a public right to know factor to this decision. so that's kind of where everybody has got to balance. i think the intelligence committee along with the homeland security committee i sit on should work with the department of justice and the fbi. there is a lot of true professionals in that organization as i've said. that is the other side of this, steve, we have to be very cale not to judge an entire institution by a few bad actors. steve: absolutely. congressman, how would you depick the tenor of, how angry are the guys, men and women who are still at the fbi who you know who, essentially are taking a black eye because the fbi is getting dragged through this because of, as you just mentioned, a couple of bad actors? >> it is really unfortunate, steve, and it breaks my heart because it is an organization that i love.

some of the finest women and men i have ever known work for that organization. they do really important work to keep you and i and everybody else in america safe. i think that is what people should think of, when they think of that organization. we can take any institution and judge that institution by a few bad actors. i don't think that is the right thing to do. that being said, those bad actors do need to be exposed. the facts need to be revealed. we can do that. like i said, we have to follow the facts wherever they lead and report those facts with unimpeachable integrity. that is what the american people deserve. being cognizant of the national security interests at play here. steve: you don't need twitter to say it. he just said it, release the memo. congressman brian fitzpatrick of pennsylvania. thank you very much for joining us live. >> thanks,. steve: steve coming on this thursday, anthony scaramucci is here. actually he is in davos, switzerland. he will talk about america first and the booming economy. he will be here in ten minutes.
