jackamo hooked me one american flag. rocking it today. they do a nice job. put our your things in and they will send you a suit. ainsley: they have been on the show before. steve: they brought us the skinny suits that we have been wearing ever since. look at the "new york times" this corner up here, big story that apparently the president of the united states last june wanted to fire robert mueller because the president felt that he had a bunch of conflicts of interest. could not adequately be the special counsel. pete: that's right. so the actual -- but the president, in davos, which we'll bring some of that sound today, he doesn't think the story was all that true, maybe calling it fake. take a listen to the president. >> mr. president, did you seek to fire mueller. >> fake news, folks. fake news. >> what's your message today. >> typical "new york times" fake story. >> did you want to fire robert mueller.

pete: first paragraph, all of this reporting based on four people who are told of the matter. also screams of a leak from the special counsel. weave did know a little bit about this. we heard back in june that there were talks of the president wasn't happy with bob mueller. what would he do? some new details that may or may not actually be true. ainsley: president says that's fake news. that happened last june. it's something we have to tell you have about because it a headline on the "new york times." what do you think about that? do you even care? something you probably do care about is immigration. and congress is working on a plan. the white house says they are going to release it next week, just ahead of a few days ahead of the -- another possible government shutdown when they have to fund the government because they have kicked the can down the road. white house immigration includes some things that you probably do care about including allowing as many as 1.8 million young immigrants to become citizens. and that's daca. these are the dreamers. they have to meet certain work and education requirements. and congress is going to spell that out. it would take about 10 to 12 years for those folks to earn their citizenship.

steve: then, in addition, the number two item on that list is what the president has been campaigning on. $25 billion for border security. that's the wall and more. it would eliminate the visa lottery program that brings something like 50,000 people in the country every year. and would curb chain migration. in other words, if you wind up with a green card in this country you can't bring everybody you have ever met who is in your family tree it could be one or two people. spouse and your kids. can't bring grand parents and the whole family. pete: announcement came out 6:00 yesterday and you got immediate reaction from all sides of the spectrum. the white house put out a template for a deal. neither side is going to get exactly what they want. whether it's pathway to citizenship is a bus word. we thought it was 800,000 daca recipients. now we are looking at 1.8 million. the wall funding put it in a trust fund. means you can't strip the funding away in the future. the wall is going to get built.

steve: what's interesting about the numbers when you think 1.8 million. okay, we thought it was 800,000. maybe they made it really big so they can whittle that down. same thing for the wall. we heard the wall is going to take $18 billion. why is it 25? more negotiation. ainsley: democrats really wanted this daca plan the president is saying we will throw in actually more immigrants and allow people to become citizens that's still not good enough for the democrats. senator elizabeth warren tweeted this out by ending daca donald trump subjected 800,000 dreamers to deportation. now he wants to hold them hostage to steve miller's anti-immigrant wish list. it's insulting. we already have a bipartisan solution to the trump-created crisis. it's called the dream act. #dream act now. pete: securing your border is insulting. dream act you know what that's code for, we get all we want but trump gets nothing. steve: here's the thing. the dreamers were given status by the president of the united states, the last president. didn't go through congress. had it gone through congress

then and passed. ainsley: good point. steve: we wouldn't be where we are right now. the democrats are saying look, they have status that was, you know, he had a pen and he had a phone and that's where it came up from. meanwhile have you joe crowley a democrat from new york state. the democratic caucus leader he said this isn't an immigration proposal. it's a ransom note. it's interesting on the cover of i have trump ordered mueller fired but then the white house lawyer said i will quit over it down here have you got a story about people who came to the country legally, it talks about a fellow from, i believe, vietnam, who did it legally and he is steamed that there could be people who came into the country illegally and then they wind up getting a pathway to citizenship because then that will encourage more people 20 come here illegally. ainsley: heard from so many people who have done this the right way they are furious about this.

most americans try to be fair and try to understand both sides of the story. democrats want one thing. republicans want something else. this is called negotiating. but what it looks like to me when you hear nancy pelosi or hear these democrats, they are whining about the crumbs, these bonuses are crumbs. they are saying well, these bonus checks are getting taxed. well, guess what? that's because you all like the taxes. and you have implemented all these taxes. but it's extra money for americans that are hurting that need to pay bills that are in debt. so they are whining about that. they are whining about this. it's called negotiation. it's called art of the deal. democrats get something. republicans get something else. and everyone should be happy. pete: that's true. it's going to be sticky though when you here pathway to citizenship and hear amnesty and a lot of the president's supportser are going to be frustrated if that becomes part of the deal. there is give and take in this process. steve: some of the president's supporters say okay i got the wall but i had to do this. it's a little of this, a little of that meanwhile it's all about business on

capitol hill. the president of the united states about two hours from right now will be addressing the world economic forum. he is going to do a 15-minute speech. he we have been -- we have gotten from the white house some of the broad themes. for instance, apparently the president is going to talk about how america is open for business. america's engagement with the world will continue and the president will issue calls to the international community to help the united states with things like isis. and the nuclear threat that is growing from north korea. ainsley: any time the president talks as the davos we will bring it to you live. he is scheduled to speak at 8:00. if he speaks before that we will bring that to you do. pete: we may hear from globalists who may not want to hear what he says about borders and taxes and trade in addition to free trade. ainsley: that's what mainstream media wants you to believe. everywhere he goes the leaders are touting right behind him. they are excited to see him there. pete: when america leads they are attracted to that leadership.

ainsley: the president says when america does well the rest of the world does well. steve: during a speech in less than two hours some people said we are going to protest and get um and walk outs. will that happen? stay tuned. that did not happen last night in switzerland when the president hosted a supper with a whole bunch of international ceos, they liked the fact that america is open for business. and they really like the ceo in chief who is also our president. listen to this. >> since you have been effective with the tax reform, we decided to develop the next generation gas turbines in the united states. today 50,000 people in the united states. we just opened a veteran plant in the state of georgia. >> and we have a marked cap around $250 billion commitment to the u.s. >> we are just deciding to invest $3 billion in chem k58s in textiles. >> we invest about $14 billion every year into the united states. >> just announced last year

program through 2020, $10 billion. >> it's just a real tribute to the momentum that you have created in the global economy. ainsley: i love the transition glasses. that's the ceo of se seimens. looks like a cool singer. pete: investing $3 billion in texas. i love the phrase global momentum. not because of global policies but because of american economic vitality it draws people in. steve: how do you do that for the business community in the president has said all along you have got to do something about regulations. he has been cutting them left and right there. was a big corporate tax cut that's really imacketted the united states. and ripple effect. pete: say what you want about tariffs, the reality is we are not going to take things laying down anymore. he has signaled that as well. ainsley: latest company to announce bonuses home depot. hand it over to jillian. jillian: i love like when you walk in home depot the smell of all the lumber and

and now it's fantastic to see a president that has seen the mistakes of the past and is correcting those issues by putting border security at the forefront. steve: um-huh. what do you think about the $25 billion for the trust fund for the border security? presumably that will be used to build a wall or we don't know how much of the wall. and other stuff, too? >> you know, i think any deterrent is better than no deterrent. the one thing that we know that they're listening to us and taking into consideration is the retention of the agents and the experience that we have right now working. everything sounds great. but, the one thing that needs to be the focus on, of course, is retaining the agents that we already have here. steve: absolutely. it's also going to end under this proposal, end the visa lottery system. i think currently something like 50,000 people come into the united states from countries that don't have a lot of immigration into the

u.s. what do you think about that? >> i mean it, goes back to my original statement. the big issue and the fantastic thing about this president is that he has seen the mistakes of the past and he is doing everything that he can to correct them. moving forward, is he trying not to make those same mistakes. obviously putting border security at the front. steve: right. art, how frustrating has he it been for the men and women on the front line at border patrol? for instance, during the last administration we had heard some stories about how, you know, there was not a lot of enforcement of that border. people got across, we will arrest you. we'll give you a ticket. go ahead, come back to court in three months and you never saw them again. >> you know, it was very frustrating. slowly things are changing. i think this president is doing a fantastic job to affect that change. unfortunately in some areas we still have. so obama holdovers that are sited in there and they

don't want to allow some of this change to happen. i think with this new administration and president trump at the forefront, there are changes that are being made that were very necessary and we are very grateful for that. steve: there you go. the president has told mitch mcconnell if he could get that bill through he would sign it let's see what happens. art, thank you for joining us today from tucson. >> thank you. steve: you bet. what do you think about that? email us friends@foxnews.com. you remember this guy. he is an illegal and admitted cop killer who says he wants to kill more. you know what? he is not done. his latest court outburst coming up. plus democrats like bernie sanders love to pay into the single payer healthcare system. what's so good about waiting 22 weeks to see a doctor? let's talk to dr. nicole saphier. she is making a house call. ♪

healthcare and how it has been implemented in countries like canada. listen. >> one of the examples of a single pair system that is working well that is popular is the canadian system providing quality care to all of their people in a far more cost effective way than we do. ainsley: new report from frazier institute long wait for surgery and medical treatment cost canadians 1.7 billion in lost wages and time. at least last year. so, what are democrats missing here? radiologist dr. nicole saphier has the answer for us they want to make sure that america is going to take care of them on their old age are we on the right path. >> to be honest the answer is no right now. canada the survey that came out admittedly the way they do get results introduces bias. you cannot deny the fact that the wait times canadians are seeing are

appalling. on average they are about 21 weeks just to see a specialist. that's not if you have a complex disease needing spine surgery, orthopedic surgery or in rural canada. they are waiting up to 42 weeks. some over a year to see a specialist. ainsley: that survey just dealt with the cost it doesn't mention how many people actually die while they are waiting to get in for treatment. >> that is absolutely true. what we're missing is when you are waiting to see the specialist, you're potentially debilitated. you are not working. you are missing out. not only are you missing out on that re knew but your employer is as well. now you have a potentially reversible disease which maybe now is permanent because have you waited so long. in the united states, a similar survey from 2017 showed the maximum wait time that we saw was less than six weeks. and what concerns me is that's actually up 30% since the implementation of the affordable care act. ainsley: we're going down that path right now canada is on. >> correct. but we are going in the wrong direction. something that's even more astonishing for the first time in over a decade, our

medical school applications have decreased. that means fewer people are applying to medical school. so, our wait times are up. ainsley: why is that? >> people aren't going into medical school. ainsley: not making as much money? >> that could be part of it. reimbursements are absolutely down. it's not just reimbursements are down. work hours are up. the administrative and bureaucratic burden put on physicians and healthcare providers is astonishing. ainsley: so if the president is watching, congress is watching, what do they need to do to make sure we don't go down the wrong path? >> for every one hour the doctor spends seeing patients they do two hours of paperwork. that needs to go. we need to stop and remove some of these barriers between a physician and patient. we have cesar saying i'm going to tackle drug prices. we also need to improve the way medicare and medicaid are delivered. we need patient accountability and patient education. we also need to make sure that the hsas are adequately funded and so people are aware of what they are paying for. if they are using their

money in their hsa accounts, they are not overutilizing the system. now they are a little bit more aware. we need access to primary care and preventative medicine. ainsley: what do we need to do as a patient? how can would he be held accountable? not drink and smoke as much. >> better choices. we need to take responsibility for our own health. the world, the government. our physicians is are not necessarily going to take care of me. the far majority of diseases are preventable. number one and number two cause of death in the united states are cardiovascular disease and cancer. and the far majority of those can be prevented by good choices. ainsley: most people not going to the doctor because they can't afford it or too scared. >> a little bit of both. you need access to primary care doctors. you should be seeing a doctor when you are healthy to make sure you are on the right path before it gets worse. ainsley: be pro-vackive. >> that's right. >> dr. nicole saphier good to see and happy birthday. we are glad you were born. >> thank you.

year. the president is going to lay it on thick. steve: stuart, put it into perspective. have you four quarters of 3% growth that sowpsdz pretty good to people future in perspective compared to the obama years. >> you had 8 years of 2% growth under the -- in the obama years. now you have started out the first year in the trump years with 3% growth and as i said, i think you're going to get closer to 4% by the end of this calendar year 2018. and that is spectacular. when you think of all the new jobs coming on stream. when you think of all the extra money going to the treasury out of taxes from a growing economy. when you think of prosperity. and prosperity is more than just numbers. prosperity is a feeling. a feeling of scope and positive thinking for the future. you are going somewhere. you are expanding. you are growing. you are part of it capitalism works. there is that feeling which we haven't had for 10 years. i think it's coming back. pete: absolutely. part of the speech will be

difference between global and globalization. recognition that sure we live in a global world for trade. president giving us a global a vantage puts us ahead in globalized world. >> this is an example of where the president is not preaching to the choir. the choir is global people. that's who they are. they are income inequality whiners, climate warriors and the president is none of the above. is he preaching to them. we want growth we'll give you prosperity. look at yo us. ainsley: you mentioned whiners and bonuses. here are the democrats. >> there is a cartoon i just love mouse trap, the little piece of cheese on there. and there is a mouse about to called the middle class. around it are fat cats. they all look like elephants but anyway. around there. and that's the thing. get this little thing and we

get this big bananza. you get the crumb we get the bonanza. >> there is nancy pelosi talking about the bonuses are crumbs and the mouse and the cheese. remember she did the scapegoat. what is up with this? >> look, nancy pelosi is very wealthy. she and her hearse own vineyards. ainsley: a thousand dollars for her. >> i think their wealth is in the neighborhood of $40 million. so, yeah. i mean, to her, a thousand dollars is a crumb. but you tell that to the people that work at home depot or at wal-mart, they're getting thousand dollar bonuses. there are 241 big companies which have issued bonuses. payable now. and there is a lot more still to come. 3 million americans are getting bonuses and/or wage increases and that's an understatement. there is going to be far more than that. that is not a crumb if you are on the receiving end of a thousand bucks. get real. pete: think about there is also this idea imagine in a

democrat had passed tax reform and these bonuses were coming up. and republicans were dismissing it. it's just a thousand dollars. the demagoguery that would come from the left you don't understand, people, how much money a thousand dollars means. it's so disingenuous. >> i just can't imagine if the situation were reversed. i just can't imagine it. steve: let's talk a little bit about this. something near and dear to your heart. you immigrated to the united states legally. you went through the system. it took you very long time. the president and the white house on yesterday put out a framework for the immigration debate going forward in congress. officially going to be revealed on monday. what it says is $25 billion for the wall. pathway to citizenship for the 1.8 million young people in this country, brought to the country illegally. eliminates the visa lottery. curbs chain migration. stuart, it's interesting, on capitol hill they say this is dead on arrival because the democrats say 25 billion that is too high a price.

we might give you 10 billion and all that other stuff, absolutely not. >> let the negotiating begin. because that's what's starting now. looks to me like the basics of a deal which would bring moderates on both sides of the aisle in to that deal. border security, wall, chain migration, lottery gone. 1.8 million dreamers on a path to citizenship. that's a big deal. that's a big compromise. ainsley: do you think that's why the president stuarted with such a big number or congress has 1.8 million illegal immigrants because originally said 800,000? >> it's all negotiating. you see the deal taking shape. border security, yes, change the immigration system, yes. let some of the dreamers, some of the i will illegals stay. that's the next suflts deal. pete: any concern it was 800 dreamers now it's 1.8 million dreamers and a pathway to citizenship which a lot of people say is amnesty. >> no. got to be give and take here. america is a very big and generous country. i felt that generosity. extend it 1.8 million

let's include daca recipients in that as well. how does that make citizens of new york feel about the asset they have been given. >> troubling for a number of reasons. the state taxpayer subsidy or the state and public institution has actually gone up over the years. the taxpayers would have to pay more. pete: it's not actually free. >> nothing is free. the base tuition. the cost of general admission at a student school has gone up over the past couple years. people have a problem with the fact if someone comes here illegally they get a benefit. if you are from new jersey and stayin staying with grandman queens and you want to attend the state school still don't qualify for. this someone here illegally now would under this particular proposal. >> correct. going back through history in new york state. governor cuomo has not been the biggest proponent of this. seems only now when it can be tied to the democratic party and opposing trump suddenly cuomo has had this moment of zen where he is now for it. pete: may also be tied to the price of presidential ambitions. >> i certainly think. so. pete: professor, thanks a

steve: controversy surrounding fbi love birds have left many of us wondering are text messages ever really deleted? can you ever get rid of them

ever joining us to discuss is kurt the cyberguy. kurt? >> i think you already know the answer to this no matter what, you post something, you text something, you email something, you can't take it back. it's somewhere. it's a mess. you never really can undelete or you can't really delete because someone else could undelete it. steve: we heard that apparently they were missing. somebody didn't upload them right to the cloud that sounds so mysterious, we don't know what the cloud. >> what we do know now we have for example an iphone or you have a samsung that many of those messages aren't just sitting on our device. they also go and sit on a server somewhere else. either with a wireless carrier or even, for example, with apple it's sitting in their icloud because i use messages. steve: time in the most important factor. why is that? >> if you want to delete or you want to undelete a message. time is everything. because the longer it sits there the more it guys away.

over a period of time the messages that wireless carriers keep that, for example, apple keeps on its servers or qui keep on our devices as we delete them or time goes on, the carriers don't have the space to keep them. steve: if it's a year ago. >> it's gone. it's gone. it doesn't mean that it is unrecoverable because the word delete only is telling your device make a little bit of room for something in the future. is it t. doesn't actually remove it. steve: right. here is one of things because your phone always says if you turn on location services we can tell you the restaurant closest to you. also when a locater services is on it, can essentially track you and can figure out when and where. >> the scary part of where our texts are done is now they can find out where you are driving. when you made this text. steve: turn that off. >> the other problem it's so difficult to tape they're kind of privacy intrusion or remove it in regard to, this just be aware when you

text,and you think you deleted it you probably haven't. steve: that's very helpful, for instance in terrorism cases because they say this guy tried to blow something up. let's track his phone. okay, he went here. he went here. >> san bernardino, as you remember the fbi hired outside agency to do the forensics and get that opened up. steve: they said he might have gone to a lake. >> if you really do want to delete everything, you want to delete your text messages and have you no matter what phone, the best course is this horrendous course is to do a full factory reset on your phone. what that does is tells the cloud oh, this doesn't even exist anymore. so let's not keep any of these messages and the device itself deletes out and wipes over the information that was on the phone. steve: but it also gets rid of all your pictures. >> it gets rid of your life. you don't necessarily want to do this unless you are really trying to cover your tracks. steve: have you just given a guide to fbi agents on how to cover their tracks. >> i have and for anybody else. fact of the matter is, it's important.

we understanding how these devices work and when we think we delete something on our phones, it's not really deleted. steve: once again, going back to your first point, time is of the essence. if you delete something today, it's probably still going to be in their server for a while. >> for wireless carriers you are looking at at least a few days that they keep them on hand. steve: okay. >> for other devices like the icloud it may sit there for months and months and months. steve: all right. very good. kurt, what's your website if people like more information. >> cyberguy.com. steve: fantastic. >> good to see you. steve: still to come on "fox & friends," did president trump really want to fire special counsel robert mueller? what he just told reporters you are going to want to hear. it's not in the papers. and reaction from white house communications advisor mercedes schlapp coming up. plus, congressman jim jordan and larry elder, two more fun filled hours straight ahead live from new york city. so simple, so good.

stock market in america's g.d.p. i don't think he will have the latest figures by the time he takes the stage in an hour. second theme will be engagement with the world. of the president will talk about importance of global trade, free and open markets reiterate as he has some times. trade needs to be free, fair and resip call. the third theme the world working together on shared threats like north korea, isis and iran. the president yesterday selling the united states haasa great place to do business. wrapping up his day with a dinner with small ceos have footprint in the united states. encouraging those ceos to expand that footprint and invest money. there is also talk as the president takes the stage world economic forum there may be several people, maybe a small group of people who will quietly walk out. some of those people are from african nations. as kind of preemptive strike the president met with the president of. head of the african union.

the go had bilateral meeting. the relationship between the united states and rwanda is strong. listen here. >> rwanda with the job they have done absolutely terrific. and we have trade with row rwanda and just general, i would say, great relationships. >> it's a great honor to meet with the president of the united states. we had good discussion. rwanda has benefited tremendously from the support of the united states in many areas. >> people were considering walking out because of the president's s-hole comments about some african-american and other nations don't know if his good words for the president will hell to ameliorate a potential walk out today we will find out very soon. one of the things the president is dealing with this morning the report you had at the top here he tried to fire robert mueller back last summer but was told by his white house counsel done mcgahn that he would quit if the president asked him to do that and talked to

president into thinking it was a bad idea. the president said this is absolutely not true. the reporting that we had at the time, because i talked to several officials about this was that the president was in a discussion with the white house counsel and a few other people, and it was kind of a well what if i do this type of scenario. the president, i'm told, walls told at that meeting. that would be a really horrible idea it would blow up in your face. the hammer would come down on you. don't even think about it ever since then the president has been consistent in saying any time he is asked no i'm not thinking of firing special counsel. steve: and of course as i think we hear maria bartiromo in the background there next to john in davos. the president felt like there was a conflict of interest with mr. mueller because of a have a right things. ultimately, john, doesn't the president of the united states have the authority to fire anybody in the administration it wants to? >> first of all, it's not maria bartiromo, it's my colleague from nbc who is next to me here.

steve: oh, sorry. >> the president heads the authority to ask the person who is overseeing the investigation, the justice department to fire mueller. that would be rod rosenstein since jeff sessions has recused himself from the russia investigation. and rosenstein is on record as saying that he would only fire robert mueller if it was real cause to do it. so far, as far as i know, rosenstein hasn't seen any cause to fire mueller. the president can't directly fire him. he would need to direct the acting attorney general in this case rosenstein to do it and rosenstein has said probably not going to happen. ainsley: thank you, john. we are going to be live at davos at 8:00. that's when the president will be speaking. we will bring that you life. also bring any time he talks in the next hour or so we'll bring that to you live. pete: the president came out and slammed it as fake news. it's a huge difference between talking and take action. so it's not clear what the new -- if you look at the fake news bomb, you know, so-called mainstream media right now they are calling it a huge political

bombshell on the "new york times." ainsley: he says it's fake news. let's move on to talk about something that you all care about. that's the wall. and that's keeping america safe. the white house has a plan now for immigration and they say they are going to roll it out next week. the first week of february, a few days before we could see another government shutdown. steve: there are four pillars, first one would be pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers. of course, we have only heard of 800,000 who actually went through the program. they extrapolate the number. they figure there is close to a million others who would be impacted. ainsley: republicans saying we are going to give you more dreamers. you give us this much money for the wall. steve: who knows what that number is exactly. 25 billion for the wall and border security. it would eliminate that visa lottery program. and it would curb chain migration. there are some up on capitol hill on the democratic side who say, look, this is dead on arrival. the 25 billion you are crazy. maybe we would give you 10 billion. but a larger problem is also

in this plan is more ice agents for more border. stronger enforcement and big cuts in legal immigration through the elimination of family migration. pete: big problem visas oversay stays talk about end to catch and release program as well. that's what the white house will point to is we are getting the wall funding in a trust fund so it can't be touched. ainsley: that's right. pete: pit fall for conservatives it was 800,000 now it's 1. 8 million illegals given pathway to citizenship. that's problematic for people much stronger on immigration. steve: this is the opening bid. ainsley: just like when you sell a house. you will try to sell it for the most you can. buying a house you are going to low ball it so you meet in the middle. maybe they are saying 1.8 so they can negotiate and maybe they are saying 25 billion for the wall. pete: opening bid is 1.8. the dems are only going to

want to go up from that. some have suspected that the number is actually 3.5 to 4 million that could be -- ainsley: maybe this is daca kids and all their parents and maybe that's republicans saying we are going to give that you. you give us the 25 million. that includes the wall, that also includes hiring more border agents. securing the border in canada as well. pete: so one good indication that might show that you president trump was strong in this initial proposal is how someone like senator elizabeth warren reacts to this proposal. this is what she said on twitter to the framework that was released by the white house yesterday at 6:00. she said by ending daca, real donald trump subjected 800,000 so-called dreamers to deportation. now he wants to hold them hold them hostage to steven miller's anti-immigrant wish list. it's insulting. we already have a bipartisan solution to the trump created crisis it's called the dream act. #dream act now. steve, i didn't know this was a trump created crisis. steve: exactly. keep in mind the dream act was not law it's was by

executive fee at. we had with us the vice president of the border patrol council arturaa joins us from tucson. he likes this proposal. >> the big issue and the fantastic thing about this president is that he has seen the mistakes of the past and is he doing everything that he can to correct them. moving forward, he is trying not to make those same mistakes. obviously putting border security at the front. ainsley: and he is willing to negotiate. that's what everybody is missing here. the democrats are whining because they just don't want daca and don't want anything else. it's give and take and negotiate. steve: the white house has sweetened the pot. because by expanding 800,000 to 1.8 million, it's like hey, that's a pretty good deal for us. right? pete: if elizabeth warren doesn't like it and steven miller and tom cotton and jim jordan in the program it if he like this it's a pretty good opening bid. ainsley: have to make sure

they are contributing to society, education, a job. take 10 to 12 years. pete: pete let us know what you think friends@foxnews.com. we will play some of those comments later on in the program. ainsley: all right it is friday, jillian. we all get excited about friday. jillian: it's friday. peta has an eagles jersey. jillian: some reasons to be excited today. good morning, guys. get you caught up on news right now starting with. this the execution of an alabama inmate who doesn't remember shooting and killing a cop is the delayed for further review. the supreme court hauling the lethal injection hours before 67-year-old vernon madison was scheduled to die. sentenced to death for murdering police officer julius schulte in 1985. his lawyers claim strokes and dementia made him unable to remember the shooting or at least understand his punishment. on the campaign trail president trump promised to keep guantanamo bay open and now is he keeping his word. >> we're going to load it up with some bad dudes, believe

abuse memo. four pages. supposed to be very damning regarding the fbi and the doj. when are we going to see it? >> i hope next week. i talked to chairman nunes at the beginning of this week. i think that's the plan. remember, what happens is they notice the hearing, they have the hearing and the meeting. the majority of the committee votes to release it, it's released to the white house. they have five days, the white house has five days to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. my guess is that the white house will take about five seconds to say release this to the public so they can see. one thing i think is critically important though is when this memo goes public it, needs to be referenced, cited, footnoted so that the american people see where we got the information that's in the memo and they understand the sources are there. steve: our other big story today, congressman, is the president in the white house has put out a framework for $25 billion for the wall. 1.8 million dreamers. a pathway to citizenship. what do you think? >> i have some concerns, frankly. it's all about to me where

the focus is. if the focus is where the american people want it to be, what they elected to us do which is border security wall, end chain migration, get rid of the visa lottery, everify. get rid of crazy sanctuary city policies around the country, if the focus is there and then we deal with daca, then that something the american people will accept and something consistent with the man date in the 2016 election. if it's the other way around, which is what mr. durbin wants and what senator graham wants which is a focus on daca first and then a little pretend security and a little pretend border wall and pretend chain migration. that's a different animal and i won't be for that and neither will lots of conservatives more importantly lots of americans. so, it's all about where the priority is, where the focus is and it's got to be on border security. steve: let's see what happens. it officially rolls out on monday. congressman, thank you very much for joining us today from columbus, ohio. >> you bet. thank you. steve: you bet. all right. coming up on this friday, the economy is booming in the united states, but apparently some democrats don't want to hear it larry elder here with a reality check on making america rich

ainsley: our next guest is calling out democrats for dismissing the good news about the economy under president trump. larry elder tweeted a quote from congressman cleaver in 2011 when he as the chair of the black caucus i have got to tell you we are always hesitant to criticize the president with 14% black unemployment, if we had a white president, weed be marching around the white house. then he said it's now 6.8%, trump gets zero credited. pete: larry elder joins us.

now, larry, why no marching around the white house with that number not at 14% but at 6.8%? >> that's a good question. it's because the trump gets no love. i'm sure you heard the joke, trump is on his job entertaining a bunch of reporter. a wind goes by. a hat gets swept into the ocean by the wind, trump goes over the rail, walks on water, bends over, picks up the hat and returns it to the reporter next day headline in "new york times" trump can't swim. won't give him any credit for anything. look, obama walked around for 8 years and talked about how he rescued the economy when, in fact, he gave us the worse economic recovery since 1949. the first president ever to resign over recovery. we did not have a single year over 3 g.d.p. growth. every 1 million jobs time linked to the recovery. obama had done nothing and just practiced his putting. we had had a 3% recovery.

there would have been 7 or 8 million more jobs. a rising tide lifts all boats. what donald trump has done is he has cut down the regulations, lowered taxes, and brought in a business, friendly environment. obama was the most antibusiness president i have ever seen. ain't ain't all right, larry, let's look at some of the numbers. under president obama black unemployment has peeked at even lower than that right now under president trump appears 6.8%. but president obama is taking credit for it listen to this. >> we saw the longest streak of job creation in american history by far. a streak that still continues by the way. thanks, obama. [applause] ainsley: is he right in part at least. >> no, he is not. the reason the american economy improved because the american economy also

improves whenever there is a recession. the deeper the recession, the higher the bounce back. we did not have a high bounce back. this is a president, where black unemployment got worse when he was in office. the so-called wealth gap between the average black household and white household didn't get that wide in 25 years. no matter how you slice it even tavis smiley the left wing commentator on pbs that by every major economic measure the bump, the obama years, black people suffered under the last 8 years by every major economic measure things are worse off for blacks under obama. i didn't say this. tavis smiley did. so write an angry letter to him. pete: is there a chance though that these developments could lead to a fisher, a fraction between the merits between democrats and the african-american community that has existed for quite some time. the democrats cater to that electoral base. could that change at all? >> i think so. because if you look at exit polling in 2008, the number one reason that people voted for obama was that they were

black or white or whatever was the economy. far and away the second reason was the iraq war at about 10%. did he not deliver. and if you look at the election returns in 2015, trump got a higher percentage of the black vote, higher percentage of the youth vote, the hispanic vote than did mitt romney the primary reason because it is still the economy, stupid. ainsley: do you think he will get more votes from the black community when you look at these numbers in three years when we head back to the polls? >> i do. it's not just the economy, it's also vouchers. the inner city parents black and brown want the ability to take their kid out of under performing bad public school and give their kid a better shot. this administration wants to do that. the democrats are opposed to it because they are wedded to the teacher's union. so here you have a president who wants black people, better shot getting middle class better shot getting education. still he gets no love from black people. i don't understand it i think in 2020 a lot of blacks having been better off economically and a lot

of mothers and fathers knowing that their kids are going to have a better shot at an education will take a second look at donald trump and i believe his numbers in the black community are going to go up. pete: that's got to matter. absolutely. larry, elder thanks for your time and tweet leading us to this segment my friend, we appreciate it. >> i tweet. ainsley: thank you have a great weekend. pete: we love it. ainsley: white house unveiling framework for immigration plan. is it the best way to secure our border. we will ask mercedes schlapp coming up next. pete: houdini had nothing on this kid. look at that you were right corner. a 2-year-old escape artist caught in the act. meet the toddler who you cannot contain this toddler if she is getting up from a nap, she is going for it. ainsley: two gates don't each work. ♪

♪ ♪ >> mr. president, did you seek to fire mueller. >> fake news, folks. fake news. typical "new york times" fake story. >> fire robert mueller? steve: there you have the president just about an hour and a half ago in davos, switzerland, responding to the "new york times" front page story that says that last june the president said to his top lawyer don mcgahn i want you to fire the special prosecutor -- the special counsel, mr. mcgahn said, you know what, i'm not going to do that. it would be bad politically. let's bring in mercedes schlapp, white house director of strategic communications. and assistant to the president, mercedes, you knew this was going to be the first question. so the president says the "new york times" story ain't true. >> well, clearly the "new york times" is stirring up these months' old russian conspiracy stories and quite frankly, you know, i have not spoken to the president about it.

the reality is that the president and this white house has been cooperative where the special counsel. and as we continue to see, there is no evidence of collusion. there is no evidence of wrong doing. the white house turned over 20,000 records to the special counsel. again, we want an expedited end to this investigation. we have seen thus far there is no evidence of collusion or wrongdoing. and obviously this comes at a very important moment when the president is about to give his economic speech talking about how america is open for business, how we are going to be investing in our economy here and we want to bring in other parts of, this other companies to come in as well and invest in our workers. steve: sure. >> as the president is addressing the davos crowd in less than 30 minutes. steve: the interesting thing though mercedes about this story is had the president actually done it, that would be a big story. but ultimately, doesn't the president talk to a bunch of his advisors and say should we do this? should we do that? he never did it.

>> well, i mean, i haven't talked to the president about this. i think at the end, the white house has been very cooperative on this special counsel. we know that the president is not considering firing mueller. we know that mueller has been straightforward in this process. and in essence, we want to find an end to this investigation. i mean, i think clearly we see no evidence of collusion. and no evidence of wrongdoing. and so we want to focus on the agenda of the america people and the american first agenda. that's one of the reasons why president trump is over in davos talking about the need for fair and reciprocal trade. talking about the need of global engagement and also explaining to these world leaders that the united states economic agenda is strong and it's something that with the tax cut success that we have had is impacting in a positive way american families across the country. ainsley: we're going to bring his speech live to our viewers in about 25 minutes. let's talk about the

immigration plan that is supposed to be released next week. the white house is talking about what their points are in the new immigration plan and they're talking about letting as many as 1.8 million young immigrants become citizens through daca. 25 billion for the border. and that includes the wall. eliminate the visa lottery program and curb the chain migration. what are your thoughts? >> clearly we have to understand that the bill that graham and senator durbin were presenting was a nonstarter. i mean, that would bring in over legalizing over 4 million illegal immigrants, including the daca recipient. it only provided for $2.5 billion, a one-time funding for securing the border. that's clearly not enough. the president's plan came as a result of talking with both democrats and republicans in both the house and the senate. spending a lot of time talking to those in the department of homeland security personnel on what the needs are for the border. and as the plan that the

president and the framework that the president has come up with, it's very much a moment of compromise it provides the strength that we need in order to secure the border, the funds that we need to do that as well as to ensure that we end chain migration as well as decrease the number of illegal immigrants coming to the united states. so i think that having those components in this framework is incredibly important as part of a daca deal. pete: mercedes obviously the white house yesterday putting out a template of what they would like a deal to look like. now the ball is in the court of congress and the senate. one of the keys in the white house and critical voice on immigration is jim jordan a republican from ohio. steve interviewed him earlier on this program. take a listen to what he has to say about the initial immigration plan. >> i have some concerns, frankly. it's all about to me where the focus is if the focus is consider the american people want it to be, what they elected to us do border security wall, end chain migration, get rid of the visa lottery.

erevive, make sure we deal with crazy sanctuary city policies across the country, if the focus is there and then we deal with daca, then that's something the american people will accept and that's something that's consistent with the mandate in the 2016 election. if it's the other way around, which is what mr. durbin wants and what senator graham wants, which is a focus on daca first and then a little pretend security and little pretend border wall and pretend chain migration, that's a different animal and i won't be for that and neither will lots of conservatives, poor importantly lots of americans. it's all about where the priority is, where the focus is and it's got to be on border security. pete: mercedes, reassure folks like jim jordan that the focus is on the border securing the lottery system and chain migration and not increasing -- >> absolutely. clearly what the president is presenting is a focus on securing the border and ending chain migration and ending the visa lottery program. let me make this very clear. when you take the fact that it is $25 billion trust fund that would allow to secure not only the southern border but the northern border, as

well as provide the needed personnel and more importantly close the legal loophole, then this is about ending catch and release. individuals are coming over the border and they're just simply released into our society. this sem powering our to be able to expedite the removal of the illegal immigrants. pete: you would acknowledge that 1.8 million folks with a pathway to citizenship is a hiccup for conservatives? >> you know, this is part of the deal that is -- that needs to happen. if we would have 60 votes in the senate, we know we need democrats to vote with us on this. clearly it needs to be a bipartisan bill. if we would clearly have a 50 votes with republicans support-to-support this it would be easier. congress is not in that position. this is why you need a compromise on immigration but clearly from the standpoint of the white house, it is clear as the president has said time and time again, there needs to be a wall. if there is no wall there, no daca. steve: so that's the proposal on immigration

reform. mercedes, if you could please just work next on getting the leaf blower not to drive by during your appearance, we'll be in good shape. >> there is only some things can i control. thancontrol. ainsley: thank you for talking really loudly during that time. thanks so much, mercedes. steve: like talking from the deck of a aircraft carrier. pete: concentrate. ainsley: we are used to it you at home are too. i remember when the president was first elected this was happening all the time. we were always talking about it with kellyanne conway. now it's been a year we have been listening to that okay, we know what that is. steve: jillian, we promise that the studio will be absolutely quiet. jillian: i don't know. sometimes the conditions i have to read these stories under.

we had stuart varney on the program earlier he called this what he believed the most economic speech of his presidency thus far. saying a lot considering the amount of important speeches he has given focused on a difference between globalization and globalism. it will be -- ainsley: this is the closing speech much the close ares forum. steve: you will see it live here in 15 minutes. in the meantime, pete has got a guest. pete: that's right. former secretary of state john kerry could be considering a second bid for the white house. according to a new report from jerusalem post, kerry told an associate to palestinian leader mahmoud abbas that he might, john kerry might challenge president trump in 2020. and he asked for abbas to, quote, stay strong and not give in to trump.

here to react radio talk show host and author of the new book "what really happened" howie carr. thanks for being here. in addition to what he said was reported in the jerusalem post, it is also said that john kerry said this about president trump. he said, he may not even make it through his first year. so here have you got the former secretary of state at davos saying to the leader of the palestinians don't listen to our president. stay strong and resist him. what do you make of this? >> well, i think it's only to be expected. i'm not surprised at all. i think john kerry still believes with no evidence that he was robbed of the presidency in 2004. that the election was somehow stolen in ohio. and so this is his own personal russian collusion fantasy. and, you know, he is angry, i think, at donald trump. i think there are a lot of politicians in his age group. he is 74 years old. people like mitt romney, john mccain, they can't believe donald trump is

president and they're not. and he is bitter. and i think another fact here, pete, is that -- is that his two legacies, such as they're, secretary of state. one was the paris climate accord and the other one was the iran i can't believe nuclear deal, the paris climate accord is already doa. and it's clear to everyone the iranian nuclear deal is a disaster. so i think he is bitter about that. finally, i think it's not a coincidence that all this happens the week of the davos economic summit. i mean, there was nothing john kerry loved more than jetting around the globe on his state department 747 lecturing everyone on global warming and you know, now, he is yesterday's news. just hanging out at one of his, you know, second wife's first husband's trust funds mansions around the world. pete: the elites are his peeps. we know this about john

kerry. davos is his safe space. you also point out in some of the before the first second. not first time dabbled himself first lieutenant threw his medals in the river. went to paris to try to undermine peace talks there as well. not a big surprise. >> right. he i was actually in uniform at the opening of the paris peace accords when the north vietnam was negotiating with the u.s. i mean, you know, they go after donald trump for the, you know, supposedly violating this obscure logan act that nobody had ever been prosecuted under. what was that? in the 1970s and what is this almost 50 years later? this is an individual negotiating on behalf of the united states. pete: i have got to say howie carr it, would be very interesting to see john kerry run for offers. amusing if he ran in 2020. we appreciate it this morning. >> thank you, pete. pete: coming up, here she goes again. >> this little thing big

steve: how about chuck schumer last week after they closed down the government and then he said, you know what? we have advanced the cause though. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. is he just a gift that keeps on giving. he says that they advanced the cause. they advanced the cause of daca and dreamers. he said that because they lost miserably, they lost a messaging war to really one of the weirdest messaging machines in political history, the current g.o.p. and what does he mean by that? what he means is we have put it on ice to save it for the mid terms. because really we don't actually care about dreamers. don't think for a minute dreamers that chuck schumer actually cares. steve: a lot of dreamers feel exactly that way. daca recipients protesting at schumer's home even though he wasn't there. steve: and they knew he wasn't there. >> all about timing. all about timing. what is the point of going there when you know the guy's not there? i mean, chuck schumer saw these people. chuck schumer saw these people exactly the same way we did on tv.

they might as well been chanting hey hey, ho ho, we are here but you are not home. it was tacky. it was silly. i don't see the point at all. steve: as you look at the past week politically, who won the week? the republicans or the democrats? >> schumer's dog walker. he knows where the people stand. who won? is that what you are saying? oh, i think trump, the g.o.p., they won. you know who really cares about do you want to talk who actually is advancing the cause? it looks like it's president trump who has put amnesty on the table. put a path to citizenship. dreamers looking for a hero, maybe they need to look to 1600 pennsylvania avenue. steve: we will see what the official proposal is on monday. ainsley: thank you, t.j. pete: appreciate it. steve: straight ahead, we have a fox news alert. switzerland in a couple minutes because the president is just moments away from that huge economic speech at the world economic summit. we're going to bring it to you live from davos, switzerland. there is the secretary of

steve: this is a fox news alert. looking live at davos, switzerland, the world economic forum. the keynote speaker for the united states is donald trump. he will deliver a 15-minute speech talking about how america is open for business. we understand from the white house that the president says when the united states grows, so does the rest of the world and u.s. prosperity gross around the world. pete: president is in front of international economic leaders. some call them globalists. some call internationalists. a lot of globalization talk going on. america first in front of that crowd and speculation -- ainsley: many world leaders have been critical of the president. he is saying the numbers speak

for themselves, if you want to be critical of me look how america is doing right now. look at your 401(k). look at all the companies moving to america now because the tax rate is lower. look at all individuals getting bonuses and extra money in their paychecks. steve: that is here in the united states but over there he wants to know what he will do for them. he will talk a little bit about the united states and engagement with the world. he will talk about how he is committed to free and open markets but the terms have got to be fair to the united states an reciprocal. you heard when he was running for president he felt the united states has gotten the shaft on that left and right. he will call on the international community to assist the united states when it comes to isis and threat of nuclear weapons in north korea. pete: there is obviously a tie between the economic and security dynamic which he will

most certainly address. he held meeting before this, meeting with theresa may and bibi netanyahu. strong bilateral rips -- relationships that the nights has and economic institutuions that he run against the on the campaign that they cut against america's interests. what the message today will be very telling. ainsley: he sat down with a ceo of nestle, siemens, hsbc, talking to them about the tax plan and affect their employees and their company. there have been 241 companies announced bonuses that the democrats are calling crumbs. home depot is the latest one. the president of home depot has said depending how long you work for our company you will get a bonus anywhere between 200 and $1000. steve: the president is expected to give a 15 minute speech.

anybody have any idea how long this song is. pete: no idea. steve: geraldo join us right now from cleveland. geraldo as you look at the president, we'll have to interrupt you in a moment because he is about to go ahead and take the stage and start speaking. what do you look for the president to say today? >> well i think that the president is riding a wave right now. steve: the song is over. >> thank good fess. when you heard the ceos yesterday they were unsolicited statements how the president jump-started the economies of the western world. i think the united states is leading the way, the world economy. i think a lot of different issues are tied into, you know, an economy that is tied to economy soaring, if you have a economy soaring, if africa will perk up, there is less incentive for refugees to flee. it will solve a lot of internal problems. a rising tide does lift all

boats. i think the president now is being warmly received because all of those countries and all of those businesses are doing well since president trump has been elected. steve: when you look at his ultimate message is going to be as the united states prospers so do all of you. you know what? when we're buying things and we're hiring people it impacts the entire world. >> the united states is the biggest consumer of everything. so if you have the united states growing, the economy is growing 3% as stuart varney says as opposed to 2% or under 2% under the last quarters of president obama that is a good thing for everybody. not only everybody in the united states but everybody who deals with the united states. if you have this big country that wants to buy stuff, there is a gin there, there is energy that is contagious, this optimism. optimism is the greatest solve

for disorder. if you have optimism, people are to the likely to leave the situation, not likely to disrupt people's lives. this is very, very important time for this president and he is speaking just at the crest of this trump boom. the stock market has been incredible. people own stocks throughout the world. it is not just the americans that buy stocks. i mean everything right now is on track for this boom to continue. and i think with that, all of the objections to the president's america percent policies -- america first policies will be alleviated, mitigated, a lot less tension people expected coming out of davos. you have a president celebrating capitalism, celebrating the american way. celebrating the fact that perhaps there were too many regulations. you could shave them around the

edges still have safe environment and working conditions for people and so forth but you know, the fact of the matter is this system of enterprise is the best there is. ainsley: why was it important for him to go to davos? this is the first time a sitting president has gone in the last 17 years which was bill clinton. we saw video of his cabinet members sitting in the front row. why was this important to the president? >> ainsley, the biggest thing that happened here, the president didn't go to schmooze a la, john kerry, hey, we're rich. isn't this cool. we get into the exclusive club and so forth. he went there to say, listen, you can it both ways you can have your cake and eat it too. the united states can protect our own workers. we can protect our own domestic economy and help you. it is not protectionism, it is fair trade, really fair trade. i think when you have that mantra, you have the president who is like many of the people

at davos, a very, very successful businessman, a man who has created entities and hired people and those people have bought stuff, so forth, so on, this is, you know prosperity can also an contagious. here he comes. he swaggers in. i may have some rough edges. sometimes i say things overstated or a bit impetuous what i intend to do vis-a-vis your country and mine but if you listen to the bottom line, we're making money, you're making money, we're hiring people, you're hiring people, this is good stuff. this president is a rock star there. pete: we're moments away from him taking the podium. we are just literally moments. ainsley: here we go. steve: ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states is expected to make comments for 15 minutes. this is where there could be a

walkout by a few. >> thank thank you, klaus, thanu for being at this forum an business and science diplomacy and people from world affairs gathered for many, many years where we can discuss how to advance prosperity and peace. i'm here to represent the interests of the america people and affirm america's friendship and partnership in building a better world. like all nations represented at this great forum, america hopes for a future which everyone can prosser and every child can grow up free from violence, poverty and fear. over the past year we have made extraordinary strides in the u.s. we're lifting up forgotten communities, creating exciting new opportunities, and helping every american find their path to the american dream. the dream of a great job, a safe home and a better life for their

children. after years stagnation the nights is once again experiencing strong economic growth. the stock market is smashing one record after another, and has added more than $7 trillion in new wealth since my election. consumer confidence, business confidence, and manufacturing confidence are the highest they have been in many decades. since my election we've created 2.4 million jobs and that number is going up very, very substantially. small business optimism is at an all-time high. new unemployment claims are near the lowest we've seen in almost half a century. african-american unemployment reached the lowest rate ever

recorded in the united states and so has unemployment among hispanic-americans. the world is witnessing the resurgence of a strong and prosperous america. i'm here to deliver a simple message. there has never been a better time to hire, to build, to invest and to grow in the united states. america is open for business and we are competitive once again. the american economy is by far the largest in the world and we've just enacted the most significant tax cuts and reform in american history. we've massively cut taxes for the middle class, and small businesses to let working families keep more of their hard-earned money. we lowered our corporate tax rate from 35% all the way down to 21%.

as a result millions of workers have received tax cut bonuses from their employers in amounts as large as $3,000. the tax cut bill is expected to raise the average american's household income by more than $4,000. the world's largest company, apple, announced it plans to bring $245 billion in overseas profits home to america. their total investment into the united states economy will be more than $350 billion over the next five years. now is the perfect time to bring your business, your jobs, and your investments to the united states. this is especially true because we have undertaken the most extensively regulatory reduction ever conceived. regulation is stealth taxation.

the u.s. like many other countries unelected bureaucrats, we have, believe me, we have them all over the place, and they have imposed crushing and anti-business and anti-worker regulations on our citizens with no vote, no legislative debate, and no real accountability. in america those days are over. i pledged to eliminate two unnecessary regulations for everyone new regulation. we have succeeded beyond our highest expectations. instead of two for one, we have cut 22 burdensome regulations for everyone new rule. we are freeing our businesses and workers so they can thrive and flourish as never before. we are creating an environment that attracts capital, invites

investment, and rewards production. america is the place to do business, so come to america where you can innovate, create and build. i believe in america. as president of the united states i will always put america first just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also. but america first does not mean america alone. when the united states grows, so does the world. american prosperity has created countless jobs all around the globe and the drive for excellence, creativity, and innovation in the u.s. has led to important discoveries that help people everywhere live more prosperous and far healthier

lives. as the united states pursues domestic reforms to unleash jobs and growth, we are also working to reform the international trading system so that it promotes broadly-shared prosperity and rewards to those who pray -- play by the rules. we can not have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others. we support free trade but it needs to be fair and it needs to be reciprocal because in the end unfair trade undermines us all. the united states will no longer turn a blind eye to unfair economic practices including massive intellectual property theft, industrial subsidies, and pervasive state-led economic

planning. these and other predatory behaviors are distorting the global markets and harming businesses and workers not just in the u.s. but around the globe. just like we expect the leaders of other countries to protect their interests, as president of the united states, i will always protect the interests of our country, our companies, and our workers. we will enforce our trade laws and restore integrity to our trading system. only by insisting on fair and reciprocal trade can we create a system that works not just for the u.s. but for all nations. as i have said, the united states is prepared to negotiate mutually beneficial, bilateral trade agreements with all countries. this will include the countries within tpp which are very important.

we have agreements with several of them already. we would consider negotiating with the rest either individually or perhaps as a group if it is in the interests of all. my administration is also taking swift action in other ways to restore american confidence and independent. we are lifting self-imposed restrictions on energy production to provide affordable power to our citizens and businesses and to promote energy security for our friend all around the world. no country should be held hostage to a single provider of energy. america is roaring back and now is the time to invest in the future of america. we have dramatically cut taxes it make america competitive. we are eliminating burdensome regulations at a record pace.

we are reforming the bureaucracy to make it lean, responsive and accountable and we are insuring our laws are enforced fairly. we have the best colleges and universities in the world and we have the best workers in the world. energy is a abundant and affordable. there is never been a better time to do business in america. we are also making historic investments in the american military because we can not have prosperity without security. to make the world safer from rogue regimes, terrorism and revisionist powers, we're asking our friend and allies to invest in their own defenses and to meet their financial obligations. our common security requires everyone to contribute their fair share. my administration is proud to have led historic efforts at the

united nations security council and all around the world to unite all civilized nations in our campaign of maximum pressure to denuke the korean peninsula. we continue to call on partners to confront iran's support for terrorists and block iran's path to a nuclear weapon. we're also working with allies and partners to destroy jihad it terrorist organizations such as isis and very successfully so. the nights is leading a veryvery broad coalition to deny terrorists control of their territory and populations, to cut off their funding and to discredit their wicked ideology. i am pleased to the support that the coalition to defeat isis has retaken almost 100% of the territory once held by these killers in iraq and syria.

there is still more fighting and worked to be done. and to consolidate our gains. we are committed to insuring that afghanistan never again become as safe haven for terrorists who want to commit mass murder to our systemmian populations. i want to thank those nations represented here today that have joined in these crucial efforts. you are not just securing your own citizens but saving lives and restoring hope for millions an millions of people. when it comes to terrorism we will do whatever is necessary to protect our nation. we will defend our citizens and our borders. we are also securing our immigration system as a matter of both national and economic security. america is a cutting-edge economy but our immigration system is stuck in the past.

we must replace our current system of extended family chain migration with a merit-based system of admissions that selects new arrivals based on their ability to contribute to our economy, to support themselves financially, and to strengthen our country. in rebuilding america we are also fully committed to developing our workforce. we are lifting people from dependence to independence because we know the single-best anti-poverty program is a very simple and very beautiful paycheck. to be successful it is not enough to invest in our economy. we must invest in our people. when people are forgotten the world becomes fractured. only by hearing and responding to the voices of the forgotten can we create a bright future

that is truly shared by all. the nation's greatness is more than the sum of its production and a nation's greatness is the sum of its citizens, the values, pride, love, devotion and character of the people who call that nation home. from my first international g7 summit to the g20, to the u.n. general assembly, to apec, to the world trade organization and today at the world economic forum my administration has not only been present but has driven our message that we are all stronger when free, sovereign nations cooperate towards shared goals and they cooperate toward shared dreams. representatived in this room are some of the remarkable citizens

from all over the worlds. you are national leaders, business titans, industry giants and many of the brightest mind in many fields. each of you has the power to change hearts transform lives and shape your country's destinies. with this power comes an obligation however, a duty of loyalty to the people, workers, customers, who made you who you are. together let us resolve it use our power, our resources and our voices, not just for ourselves but for our people, to lift their burdens, to raise their hopes and to empower their dreams. to protect their families, their communities, their histories and their futures. that's what we're doing in america, and the results are totally unmistakable. it's why new businesses and investment are flooding in. it's why our unemployment rate

is the lowest it's been in so many decades. it's why america's future has negative been brighter. today, i am inviting all of you to become part of this incredible future we are building together. thank you to our hosts, thank you to the leaders and innovators in the audience but most importantly, thank you, to all of the hard-working men and women who do their duty each and every day, making this a better world for everyone. together let us send our love and our gratitude to make them because they really make our countries run. they make our countries great. thank you and god bless you all. thank you very much. [applause] steve: okay, we were waiting for the president to deliver his 15-minute speech. he did just that. this was the forum where we

heard yesterday the and the day before there could be some members in attendance who might actually stand up an exit as opposed alleged comments the president made regarding that closed-door immigration meeting awhile back. to the best of the producer's knowledge they didn't see anybody stand up, they didn't hear a disturbance. looks as if people sat to go ahead and listen. now apparently they're going to answer some questions. so listen to klaus ask the presidents. >> one or two questions. and my first question is, why is the tax reform, why has it been of such a high priority for your administration? >> well, first of all, klaus, i want to congratulate you, this is an incredible group of people. we had a dinner last night with about 15 leaders of industry, but none of whom i knew, but all i read about for years and it was truly an incredible group,

but i think i have 15 new friend. so this has been really freight what you've done putting it together, the economic forum. the tax reform was a dream after the love people over many years but they weren't able to get it done. many people tried and ronald reagan was really the last to mick -- make a meaningful cut and reform. ours is cut and reforming. we emphasized the cut but the reform is probably almost as important. we wanted to do it. it is very tough politically to do it. hard to believe that would be but it is very, very tough. that is why it hasn't been done in close to who years. once we got it going and it was going and the big, i wouldn't say a total surprise but one of the big things that happened and took place is at&t and some others came out very early, said they would pay thousands and thousands of dollars to people

that worked for their companies. you have 300,000, 400,000, 500,000 people working for these companies. all of sudden it became like a waterfall, a big, beautiful, waterfall so many companies are doing it. just today they announced many more. every day they announce more and more. now it's a fight who will give the most. it started at a thousand. now we have them up to 3,000 this is something we didn't anticipate. often times in business things happen that you don't anticipate. usually that is a bad thing but this was a good thing. this came out of nowhere. nobody thought of this as a possibility. it wasn't in the equation. we said wait until february 1st when the checks started coming in. people, klaus, have a clot more money in their paycheck. this is not just a little money. this is a lot of money for people making a living doing whatever they may be doing. we really thought february 1st it was going to

kick in and everybody was going to be -- we haven't even gotten there yet and it kicked in and has incredible impact on the stock market and stock prices. we set 84 records since my election. record stock market prices meaning we hit new highs 84 different times out of a a one year period and that's a great thing n all fairness that was done before we passed the tax cuts and tax reform. so what happened is really something special. as you know, as i just said, apple came in with $350 billion. and i tell you, i spoke with tim cook, i said, tim, i will never consider this whole, great run that we've made complete until you start building plants in the u.s. and i will tell you this moved up very substantially, but when i heard 350 i thought i was talking, i

thought they were talking $350 million. by the way that is a nice sized plant, not the greatest but not bad and they said, no, sir, it is $350 billion. i said that is something. well, we have tremendous amounts of money, including my newfound friend from last night, great companies, they're all investing. one of of the gentlemen said he is putting in $2 billion because of the tax cuts, i said to myself, wow, he is actually the cheap one in the group because they are putting in massive numbers of billions of dollars. i think you have a brand new united states. you have a united states where people from all over the world are looking to come and invest. and there is just nothing like what's happening and i want to finish, i have a group of people that have been so -- i have a whole lot of them. i won't introduce, i would insult at least half of them, but i had a group of people that

worked so hard on this and other things. and we're really doing -- we had a great first year, so successful in so many different ways. there is tremendous spirit when you look at all different charts and polls, you see as an example, african-american unemployment at the historic low. it has never had a period of time like this, same with hispanic. women at a 17-year low it is very heart recall -- heart warming to see. it is tremendous spirit in the united states. i would say it's a spirit like i never witnessed before. i have been here for a while. i have never witnessed the spirit that our country has right now. so i just want to thank you all, and all of those that are pouring billions of dollars into our countries or $10 into our country. we thank you very much. thank you. >> mr. president, i will ask you maybe a personal question but

before doing so -- >> sounds very interesting. i didn't know about this one. >> i would like to acknowledge the strong presence of your cabinet members. >> yes. >> who tremendously contribute to the discussions. >> good. i would like to do that. that is very good. stephen? wilbur, gary, robert. even my general and my various other generals, you know. we're making our military protection a little bit better for us too. so thank you very much. does everybody understand that? i think so. thank you all for being here. >> my, maybe personal question would be, what experience from your past have been most useful in preparing you for the presidency? >> we, being a businessman has been a great experience for me. i loved it.

i loved business. i've been good at building things. i was successful making money. i would buy things that are failures an turn them around. get them for the right price and turn them around and make them successful. i've been good at it. that take as an ability. historically there never has been a businessman or business person elected president. it always has been a general or a politician. throughout history it has always been a general, you had to be general, but mostly it was politicians. you never had a businessman. in all fairness i was saying to klaus last night, had the opposing party to me won, some of whom you backed, some of the people in the room, instead of being up almost 50%, the stock market is up since my election almost 50%, rather than that i believe the stock market from that level, the initial level would have been down close to

50%. that is where we were heading. i really believe that, because they were going to put on massive new regulations. you couldn't breathe. it was choking our country to death. i was able to see that, klaus, as a business person. the other thing is, i always seemed to get for whatever reason a disproportionate amount of press or media. throughout my whole life. somebody will explain some day why but i have always gotten a lot. and as a businessman i was always treated really well by the press. the numbers speak and things happen but i have always had a very good press. it wasn't until i became a politician that i realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious and how fake the press can be as the cameras start going off in the back. but, but, overall, i mean the bottom line, somebody said, well they couldn't have been that bad because here we are, we're president. i think we're doing a really great job. with my team, i have a team of

just tremendous people. i think we're doing a very special job and i really believe it was time, and it was time to do that job because i don't think the united states would have been very well if it went through four or eight more years of regulation and really a very anti-business group of people. we have a very pro-business group. we have regulations cut to a level, in the history of our country, klaus, this was reported recently, in one year, we cut more regulations in my administration than any other administration in four, eight or 16 years in the one case, we have cut more regulations in one year, and we have a ways to go. we're probably 50% done. we're going to have regulation. there is nothing wrong with rules and regulations, you need them but we have cut more than any administration ever in the history of our country and we still have aways to go.

so i think between that and the tremendous tax cuts, we've really done something. and one other thing i said, and i saw it last night with some of the leaders, and business people, i think i had been a cheerleader for our country and everybody representing a company or a country has to be a cheerleader or no matter what you do it is just not going to work and the reason i'm a cheerleader because it is easy because i love our country and i think we're just doing really well. and we look forward to seeing you in america, special place, and where you are is a special place also. thank you all very much. i appreciate it. >> thank you. [applause] thank you very much, mr. president, for being with us. world economic forum community who is assembled here will be certainly, and i quote you from your last piece of your remarks,

we'll be certainly be among the hard-working men and women who do the duty each and every day, making this world a better place for everyone. thank you very much. >> thank you very much, everybody. thank you. [applause] ainsley: that is the president of the united states speaking at davos. he gave a closing speech. the man on his right is klaus schwab, founder and executive chairman of the world economic forum. he is also a german engineer and economist. steve: indeed. he got polite applause from the audience, there were growns when he mentioned fake news and applause as well. the president's ultimate message as you can see on the banner, i will always put america first. the better the united states does, the better all of you around the world do. you know what? america is open for business.

and he talked about you who the stock market was doing great and how businesses were thriving under him. how much regulation he has cut. tax cut already gone to work. and the stock market at the end, he said it was close to 50% up. i don't know if it is that high but i think in the 40s. pete: it is absolutely. he ended right where he started, i'm here to represent the american people. often times at these international forums you hear about global citizens, economic justice, and global community, he mentioned that at the again, comes back to the citizens of my country and representing them the right way, when i do that well, like you should focus on your citizens, everyone can be better off. we don't live in a future world where there aren't borders this is capitalist and businessman. ainsley: the ceos of companies they go to this event. he have one that represents the economic world is usually there. someone representing banks, companies. steve: very glamorous. ainsley: if he wants to go and rub shoulders with these

skidindividual and tell them we're open for business, come to america, wonderful opportunity for him to do that. steve: geraldo rivera is joining us. interrupted by the president. >> i can always be interrupted by the president. steve: he talked about our immigration system and it is stuck in the past and we have to do something about chain migration and et cetera. your observation what the president said? >> he is obviously making economic sense, i want to very briefly say the president everyone should love. i met him in 1976. he took down the run-down decrepit hotel commodore on 42nd. he turned it into a grand hyatt. saved the whole neighborhood by his actions. 20 years later he sold it for a 143 million-dollar profit. that is the trump everybody loves. if this is the economy, stupid, that is the guy really doing it.

the president is correct, each country should serve its own interests. an easy thing the president can do is all those graduate students, all those kid that come to stanford and they get these degrees or they learn all this computer stuff, let them stay, give them visas. be very generous in terms of keeping these young innovators in the country. i think that is a very, very good thing to do. in terms of the current debate, if that steve, is what you're asking, what i feel about this compromise that appears now to be moving in the right direction, i say great. for the first time you have the democrats saying that they will go along with a wall, a wall that the president made central to his campaign, southern border wall. and on the other hand you have the republicans saying that the "dreamers" and even expanded class of immigrants can be legalized and given a path to citizenship. so i think there is not only, so in the context of this booming economy, and in the context of

president trump's strength as a business person, you have the, what seems to me significant steps toward a compromise that i swear to god if they wanted to they could make it today, steve. pete: geraldo, we heard from the far left, "dreamers" only. conservatives talking about apnecessity for citizenship for illegals, you think the president is shooting for the middle. there is no bipartisan support for these plans, they have been resisting him. where is the sweet spot on a immigration deal? >> i don't know, major, exactly what the sweet spot is but they're heading into the right direction. for example, luis gutierrez, fiery illinois congressman and chuck schumer senate minority leader, they said it last friday, they can't take it back now, they have been now on the first time on the record in favor of this trust fund, $25 billion to build the

southern border wall. now they're also saying, as i mentioned, the "dreamers" like them, if you take all the noise away, take all the other issues away, this one doesn't like this, this doesn't like that, the tea party will not go along with that and progressive far left, forget about the edges. in the middle you have the an ability to have an army of compromise centrists who want best thing for the country and best thing for the immigrants. when president reagan in 1986, had immigration reform a lot of people feel he got screwed because after legalized, a lot of people in the country in 1986, more came in. so what happens now. now president trump sees the compassion of reagan but the failure of reagan. he says being or, i will do the same thing, be campus compassioo

undocumented immigrants but i get my wall. so you don't continually revisit this situation or problem every decade, pete. steve: a lot of loopholes what ronald reagan trade to do. this administration apparently is trying to plug them all up. thank you, geraldo. have a good weekend. >> thank you. you too.steve he called you majr at one point. pete: i appreciate that. ainsley: you deserve that. steve: president trump sharing his america first agenda with the world. diamond and silk will weigh in on it as will steve hilton. we have a busy 20 hours. put down the remote. you're watching "fox & friends." ♪ the formulated with key nutrients plus vitamin d for bone health support.

your one a day is showing.

>> i'm here to deliver a simple message, there has never been a

better time to hype, to build, to -- hire, to build, to invest and grow in the united states. america is open for business, and we are competitive once again. the american economy is by far the largest in the world. steve: there you go, the president by the way within half hour he will probably leaving davos enroute to zurich and back to washington, d.c. pete: give that speech. get out of the international swamp as quick i as you can. ainsley: let's bring in our stars, and trump supporters diamond and silk. good morning ladies. >> good morning. ainsley: did you listen to the speech, what is your reaction and to what he said? >> we is respected and admire across the world. people love this man. listen he is a negotiator. ultimate deal-maker. >> yes. >> the thing about him he is bringing back economic opportunity and growth. he wants america to prosper and he is letting the world know that. so i thought his speech was phenomenal. >> it was amazing.

and another point that i love is the fact that he is letting people know, and understand that we are the united states, not the divided states. if we stand divided we fall, if people stop resisting prosperity we can move this country farther really fast. pete: go ahead. steve: one of the things they do here at the davos event is they talk about trade deals around the world because they have all these bigshots from around the world. the president said, hey look, we're for trade deals, diamond&silk, but the unfair ones, help us out here. >> absolutely. when we look under the obama administration, obama went around apologizing and selling american people and selling american people down the drain by signing in these trade deals. we want fair. we want to make sure we have economic opportunities here for americans and americans have jobs too. because we have to live too. >> that's right. >> when we see our president

around the world, over there, making these deals, and people want to spend money in america, bring jobs to america, bring billions of dollars back to america, that's a plus plus for us, baby. >> that's right. >> our president is doing a phenomena job. pete: a plus-plus for us. one of the messages in his speech, immigration policy a form of national and economic security. he is referring to our immigration situation here which we all know is broken. our border not secure, a lot of immigration policies out of control. you saw what the white house released. it did include a path to citizenship for 1.8 million daca recipients or those like that. is that the kind of deal you as supporters of the president would be willing to support? >> i want everybody to calm down. >> yes. >> just relax here. when you are negotiating, you both have to come to the table, okay? >> that's right. >> now when it comes to what they're proposing, you have to give a little to get a lot. >> that's right. >> okay? so if we have to give up a

little, i think that number can be adjusted to get the wall funded, to end chain migration and this lottery system. >> that's right. >> hey, that is making a deal. it can't be one-sided. >> yes. >> we have to be able to compromise. listen i believe these are daca adults. i'm not for anybody jumping ahead of anybody in line. however, if this is what it will take for people not to pour into our borders, not to overstay visas, sometimes we have to do what we have to do. i don't want everybody to jump the gun. don't get overexcited. calm down, remember you are dealing with a experienced negotiator, our president got this. >> that's right. ainsley: do you think the democrats will be on board with this? i know republicans, like you're saying republicans all right, we'll keep the daca kids in this country we'll try to make it fair, but do you think the democrats will say we give you $25 billion for the wall and border security? >> if they don't, they will be the destruction of their own demise, period. >> that's right. >> the deal is, please do not

expect for to us give you everything we don't get nothing in return. if we don't secure our border, we'll keep creating the same problem over and over. >> that's right. >> these people don't realize, you can't overstay a visa. you can't cross our borders illegally. this stuff is a crime. this is what's happening. people have so this problem and making people think it is okay. it is not okay. >> that's right. >> even if the democrats come to the table and be willing to deal or it will be no deal. >> that's right. steve: what about the republicans in congress, do you think they will go along with it? because there are a lot of members of the republican right-wing, this is form of amnesty, we can't do that. >> okay. then you have to negotiate. >> that's right. >> okay. so if you come to the table you negotiate. well, okay, we will take this but we won't take that. if you are going to grant them some type of citizenship have them they can't vote a couple of years. we all know that the democrats

is trying to use this as a tool for them to win an election. put some measures in place. bring back e-verifying system. put mesh schuss in place protecting everybody involved but everybody has to come to the table. >> that's right. steve: diamond and silk from the headquarters. by the way, ladies, what do diamond and silk do on the weekend? >> vet. >> yes. >> research. >> yes. steve: always a pleasure, ladies. ainsley: canned have diamond without silk and can't have silk without diamond. they're a team. our friend steve hilton is here to react to president trump's speech. that is coming up next. steve: let's check in with our friend bill hemmer. >> i surrender. i can't follow that. what do i do. happy friday. selling america, that is mission number one for president trump overseas and you just saw that reports that he wanted bob mueller fired. we'll sort through what we're learning about that today. then the white house revealing its opening argument on

emphasized in a speech you saw on the fox news fox news channe. here to react to that very speech, steve hilton, host of the "the next revolution." former visor to prime minister david cameron. steve thanks for joining us. you spent time with global elites and listening to speeches and setting priorities. what do you think of the president's message today and how will it be received? >> good morning to all of you. i spent time in davos. i was nearly arrested in davos for defying a instruction of swiss soldier who said i couldn't walk on this part of the sidewalk and i had to walk on the other side of the sidewalk. i have no love for davos. but more, it is, you know what? davos is the sort of global epicenter of this elitism that people rejected in 2016. abuse people for years and years, they go up the mountain, and sort of endless hot air and they talk and talk and talk.

meanwhile the elitist policies they have been pursuing, particularly open borders, meant the rich get richer, the rich who are in davos and working people are screwed. what is so refreshing about donald trump he is going there, cutting through all of that with really simple facts, which is america first, doesn't mean america isolated. it means america will put its own people an own economy first, that is good for america but also for anyone who wants to do business in america. what you saw the president do there was act exactly what he should be doing which is a salesman for america. saying we cut taxes, we cut regulation, we're a pro-business, pro-enterprise economy, come and invest in america and that will be good for you and good for the american worker. that is what everyone in america exactly should want to hear from their president. steve: as we watch marine one take off, steve, we heard he received a rock star welcome with some of the global ceos.

>> i know, it is so funny, isn't it, they all love to hate donald trump but, and the fact that he got elected on this platform which was opposite to everything that they stand for but they can't help be fast think nated by him, something they achieve they can only dream of. come from nowhere politically. so he a businessally a political rock star of the kind they never encountered before. ainsley: steve, what time is your show this weekend if folks want to watch? >> we have a great show lined up. i'm look forward to take on one of the top never-trumpers in wash teal ton d.c. i break down the argument. steve: all right. >> say donald trump is leading to the end of our democracy, i'm showing how false that is. steve: steve hilton, thank you very. the president is leaving switzerland. you're looking at it live. we'll be right back.
