rockefeller center they are going to light the christmas tree. ainsley: if you are a tourist et come on down if you live here get out of way. traffic and lots of streets closed. take the subway today. steve: indeed. thank you for joining us on this very busy wednesday. ainsley: thanks. great to be back. steve: we start with a fox news alert. big win for republicans. ainsley: that's right that lady right there. the senator in mississippi cindy hyde smith beating out mike enis i in mississippi's runoff election. brian: jonathan serrie live in jackson, mississippi to break it all down. this wasn't as close as many thought. >> yeah, brian, steve,and ainsley. it was a comfortable victory although somewhat closer than you might expect in a deeply red state. cindy hide smith waste nothing time saying she is going to go back to washington this morning and get right back to work. take a look at the race board you can see the marginal. hide smith made goffs during gat were made as racially

sensitive. praises president trump's support for bringing her to victivictory. >> being on that maga wagon. make america great again bus. we have persevered and gottennen through things. we were successful today. >> president trump tweeted his congratulations to the senator saying we are all very proud of you and hide smith's opponent added his congratulations as well. >> she has my prayers as she goes to washington to unite our very divided mississippi. and she has my prayers and my willingness to help her to do it. >> this runoff settles the final senate race of the midterm elections and so once the new congress is sworn in, the balance of power in the senate will be 53 republicans to 47 democrats. back to you guys. steve: all right, jonathan serrie live in jackson, mississippi. the republicans, even though

that is a reliable red state, the republicans weren't taking any chances. they sent over 100 operatives in mississippi to turn out the vote. spent $3 million on television advertising to bash mr. espy and, of course, the president of the united states showed up in the state for two rallies the day people did the voting. ainsley: went by president trump for nearly 20%. that state does love the president or did go out to the polls to vote for him. i was very impressed with espy's concession speech. that was very nice. saying they were going to work together. brian: senator smith has two more years later on thad cochran's term because is he not doing well physically. i would love to see her go right to the black community because it looks like the black and white issue was on display. if you were black you voted for espy. if you didn't, you voted for smith. i would love to see her go right into the black community and say let's start heeling this rift in

mississippi. steve: what's going on south of our border in mexico. the mayor of tijuana says they only have enough money to fund the migrant shelter for two more days. and, in fact, on monday, schools near the border were shut down over a safety concerns because of what happened over the weekend where hundreds of people raced toward the burden. ainsley: about 10,000 expecting to be there when all the numbers are totaled. going to work together to keep asylum seekers in mexico as they are waiting for asylum to come through or paperwork to come through. mike pompeo is going to sit down with the mental co-foreign minister on sunday because the president-elect goes into office on saturday. so they will meet together on sunday and then that foreign minister is also going to talk with other people in the administration on monday. brian: if you are like us they have an election. they have to wait some time to stand up a government. dealing with nate nieto and

outgoing government. it looks like the trump administration getting along with the new administration a little bit better. i think it's astounding too that the migrants have a list of demands that griff jenkins was able to acquire. one acceleration process of applying for asylum and end to the manipulative deportations. wait a second, you have demands in order for you to come into the country? that seems to me a little bit the world spinning on its head. steve: remember, it was a couple weeks ago the president said by executive order he would change the rules and say if you wanted to claim asylum, you had to go through a port of entry. an official port like san ysidro down in california. well now the trump administration is going to appeal, remember that ninth circuit judge, he said that is unconstitutional. you don't have to go through a port. you can just touch the land and you can make an asylum claim. apparently the doj says the

temporary restraining order which the judge issued last 30 days says that that undermines the president's authority. and when it comes to asylum, keep in mind, if you simply want to come into the country to make money or to be reunited with your family, that is not an accurate and lawful asylum claim. buck sexton was on with tucker last night and had a lot to say about this. >> it's a scam and people know it's a scam based on the percentage of individuals in the past who have come and tried to claim asylum in this way and the fact that they're being coached to lie. this is a form of fraud. when you say that i'm in imminent fear of my life because people along the way have said this is what you have to say to get into the asylum process you can later be adjudicated you are lying to people in a vast majority of these cases. by the way if just being from honduras that you are from such asylum then the whole country would qualify for asylum. brines brian that's a great point and kirstjen nielsen

did a great job breaking it down with hannity last night as well. if you want to come here and work, i would love to have expedited system to have people get background checks. people in the farming community need help and great way to establish yourself here and begin the process of becoming an american citizen. there has got to be part of immigration reform and stuff that's not going to be ideological battle. that's one of them. one of the parts we can get on the same page. i was listening to some of the interviews griff did last night. i just wants a job. i understanding that's not good enough for asylum. might be something we need here. put them in a different line. steve: change the law. ainsley: system is broken. we need immigration reform. the president doesn't want people to be able to go through between ports. he wants to know who is coming in because of criminal issues. that is a factor here. we want our kids and families to be safe. yeah, it's really heart-breaking when you see the families there at the border that are trying to have a better life for their kids. look at those dan bongino

says if you don't want tear gas in your face then don't storm the border. steve: you can see in some of those images, see them throwing rocks and bottles at the border patrol. after that they used pepper spray and tear gas and there has been great media outrage over it. but, when you look at the numbers and the number of times that customs and border patrol during the obama administration used similar things, similar tactics, it is astounding. 26 times in 2012. 27 times in '13. 15 in '14. 8 in '15 and 3 times in 2018. ainsley: more than 80 times. over the weekend they used it to push back what they refer to as assaultive migrants on sunday. all right. so they used this tactic for years, right? and, yet, when you look at media research center did coverage of the caravan over the last couple of days, how

many times did they mention the fact that they used them during the obama administration? zero. on the nightly newses. brian: senator graham was on with sean last night. i understanding what's going on at the border. this is nonlethal action to control what is happening in and out of our country. listen. >> how long does it take to you figure this out. when it comes to obama, when he uses tear gas he is protecting the country. the narrative is that trump is a cruel, heartless [bleep] only works if he uses tear gas on kids. and it undercuts the argument if the obama administration used tear gas to protect our border from being overrun. the question for the country is what do you say to the people who shot the canisters. i stand behind the men and women on the border standing between us and people who want to cross illegally. when you are slamming the tear gas, you are slamming

the people we put on the border to protect us and that's what disgusts me the most. ainsley: criticism of tear gas is criticism of our law enforcement. they are just doing their job. this is a procedure and he said it's nonlethal. this is just the way the system is set up. brian: i also want to add to this on the subplot of the whole border battle is the president saying i want 5 billion to build a wall this reaffirms is both sides tend to realize that storming of the border on sunday hurt the migrants' cause big time. chuck schumer says i'm looking to give 1.6 billion in addition for border security. the president wants 5 billion. i'm wondering if democrats realize okay, i'm two years away from another elections or a year before we really have to dig in on this. maybe they see it's not advantage holding out doing nothing. maybe they could sit and talk and maybe get 3 billion for the wall? >> the house is already approved.

chuck schumer is saying you know what? the president was talking to the "the washington post" yesterday. he said, you know what? maybe i've got a plan b. maybe we will just use troops. maybe we will use razor wire down there. it seems to be effective in california. brian: the house at 5 and senate at 1.6. they know they are in lame duck session. maybe they could play ball. maybe get together in conference community real quick and do it. ainsley: you are thinking 3 billion? brian: can we work something out? we can start beginning to compromise on something instead of just getting in line oh, maybe this advantage can get me another vote on election day in two years? steve: the president was suggesting that he would go to the mat force a partial government shut down by december 7th if he didn't get the wall money. but now he is talking about a plan b. so i think he sees the writing on the wall, no pun intended. he is not going to get any more money from the democrats. so maybe he is going to have

to go to the backup plan. brian: 1.6 can keep you busy for ear year. then did you go back next year and get another 2. ainsley: now you 1.6. i thought you wanted the 3? brian: i would say something in order to get something done rather than sit there and shut down the government and hear all these speeches and get people enraged again. ainsley: a little bit is better. brian: i'm done with this. ainsley: okay. hand it over to jillian who has more headlines. jillian: whatever brian does. brian: i want something. jillian: how about this? investigation is underway after active shooter alert turns out to be a false alarm. one hour of chaos unfolding in walter reed medical center in maryland. locking themselves in rooms to save their lives. someone was planning a future drill and accidently activated the system. the words exercise or drill were not included in text and email alerts. today lawmakers will be brifd on the murder of saudi

accountable for russia's nefarious, this latest incident of russia's latest aggression against ukraine. we know from the obama administration's experience when you talk to russia and don't have any counter measures, it only encourages russia's further aggression. we need to do other things as well. it starts with that public overt rebuke of putin. i think the president could deliver that strongly. steve: yeah. you say nothing threatens putin's regime more than ukraine. a democratic neighbor with a bright economic future and russian speaking population. he doesn't like them right over there next to him. >> putin called the collapse of the soviet union the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. nothing squares him more like a country like ukraine committed to democracy. that's inspiration a beacon of hope to putin's own opponent who don't enjoy civil liberties. steve: you see this as a true test of the president's power internationally.

campaign. i doubt that a democratic president would treat them any better. this said, mr. trump has to get a lot tougher on china. most of his tariffs are 10%. they depreciated their currency by more than seven. despite what the "wall street journal" says, despite what they say, it's had very little affect on general motors or any other company in the united states. brian: so we might after january 1st, we might up the percentage of tariffs on china. china is like hey, listen, i hope you back off that this is going to be interesting stare down or handshaking taking place next week. i think the global market would love for the u.s. and china to make some real progress. is there a chance that china's slowing stock market and the problems that they are having domestically might make them pliable now? >> i don't believe so. i don't think china is under enough stress. now, we put on a 25% tariff. and then do some of the things that secretary mnuchin has been knicksing. you know, the president was quite correct to criticize

him. he has been leaning against this all along. when he spoke to me, he expressed great skepticism that the trade deficit mattered at all. at all. that was very disappointing that conversation. my feeling is that we need to not only put on the 25% tariff but we need to do. so other things. for example ban dte's exports for 5 g into the united states. it's a national security threat. and start to put on much tougher sanctions on chinese investment here. they can buy just about whatever they want in this country. but we can only invest in what they permit us to invest and only if chinese actors have control. brian: you want hour of the robert lighthizer taking the lead tougher on trade than steven mnuchin who never wanted this fight to begin with we will see hot president is listening to in this battle. peter, thanks so much. >> lighthizer is the man. brian: all right. nice way to end. 11 minutes before the top of the hour.

ainsley: they are still together? brian: yeah. they just got married. ainsley: they just got married. i didn't know that. steve: i didn't either. that's why they call this a news show. ainsley: can we talk about something we do have information about and have some details? the caravan chaos down at the border unfolds. president trump forced to appeal a judge's order blocking his asylum ban. steve: comes as one migrant apparent whether i a criminal past tells fox news he is still coming to the united states illegally. brian: griff jenkins is in tijuana with the latest. griff: luis got into a fight in the u.s., got deported and now he is part of the caravan. one of the 5800 in this encampment behind me. they are frustrated, tired, in many cases sick. they thought it was going to be easier to get into america. luis says he is going to come any way he can. legal or not. listen. >> any way is the same because i don't go -- i

don't go to the other side to do something bad. i go to work. and work is work. here, there, and anywhere. griff: let's talk about the numbers. some 80 of this group self-deported and the mexican officials deported another 100. 200 have arrived arrived here overnight with some 2,000 possibly coming from mexicali. that's why tijuana officials such as delegate romano blames the organizers for giving migrants force hope. they can't afford it costs some $30,000 a day. he like america is worried about the pasts whether or not it involves criminal pasts in guys like luis. listen. >> that's what we're worried about. we need to investigate who is in the country and what they want to do here. if they want to work, they are welcome. if not, they have to go back home. griff: yesterday we got an actual list of demands from

these migrants here saying they want to speed up the asylum process. they want to end depoor depoor nations. they want to human rights -- they want the incoming mexican president to make it easier for them to get into america. guys? steve: that's right. griff, the tent city behind you is temporary. the city of tijuana, which apparently only has enough money to run that for two more days without raising taxes or getting money from the federal government down in mexico, they could ask them to leave, the migrants at any time, right? griff: of course. and it is really an issue. i talked to -- tough word to pronounce. that's what you talk to the people in tijuana. they will talk to you off camera. listen, this is something we worry about because we know it's eventually going to start affecting city services. it's going to effect their possible raising of taxes. press conference with the

mayor yesterday, this was a hot topic and we are going to try to talk, perhaps, with the mayor a little later today because at the end of the day, this false promises that were made by organizers to this caravan that traveled some 3,000 miles here to the end of the line and being stopped from entering the u.s., it is the people of tijuana who are ultimately bearing this brunt at the very moment. steve: all right. griff jenkins live in tijuana. ainsley: we are trying to work with mexico. mike pompeo is going to sit down with the foreign minister for mexico representing mexico on sunday. the election took place, the new president takes office on saturday. so our mike pompeo is going to meet with their foreign minister on sunday. then he is also going to meet with other people in our administration on monday. so hopefully we can come to an agreement. brian: homeland security secretary getting tougher by the day kirstjen nielsen says listen we know we have a problem we border with and without these caravans but these caravans have a special challenge. >> we believe about 10,000 ultimately. there is between 8 and 10,000 now. but you are exactly right.

the government of mexico offered everyone asylum. they also offered work permits. that's why this caravan is very different than ones we have seen in the past. not only is it violent but to the extent that it claims that its members would like to seek asylum. they they have been offered asylum but they turned it down in mexico. steve: big question is what happens next? because tijuana is strapped. they are running out of money. the people in the migrant tent city and tarp city there, they are getting frustrated. the federal government here in the united states cracking down. ainsley: people thought in the lame duck session that more money would go to the wall and that could happen. they are negotiating that right now. the president says he has a plan b. down on the border they put the razor wire on top of the walls. they shut down the ports of entry. if they are hearing reports of people trying to storm our border. they are trying to do whatever they can. brian: like looks like chuck

schumer 1.6. president wants 5. maybe there is a deal to be made there. maybe so. other major story is the mueller probe is in high gear. we thought they did go dark for the most part leading up to the election. election is over and man, are they in high gear. there is a sense, according to axios, there is a series of indictments that could be coming down real quick. they evidently worked their way through the vacation the mueller people. one of the big stories yesterday was the report out of the guardian that paul manafort met three separate times with julian assange at the ecuadorian embassy in london. there's a problem with that there is no verification of it. and the manafort camp pushed back big time and julian assange through his lawyer said a million dollars to the editor of the guardian or anybody else that can prove we met. i have never met paul manafort. ainsley: manafort said the same thing. in his statement he said this story is totally false and deliberately libel columbus libelous.he is threatel

action. steve: refer the wikileaks thing supposedly he met with manafort at the embassy one of the months when those thousands of dnc email were revealed. also the "new york times" talk a little bit about how paul manafort's lawyer actually spoke with the trump team about the mueller probe. it's not illegal but kevin downing talked to the president's lawyers -- is he mr. manafort's lawyer after mr. manafort agreed to cooperate with mr. mueller. nau the speculation manafort wants a pardon from the president. brian: the problem is some of those charges are state charges which the president couldn't pardon him from. but they are talking and it's -- as steve said, it's somewhat unusual. but i could see how it could benefit both sides to know does it have anything to do with the fact that paul manafort's deal has blown up as the mueller people have said we don't think he is

telling us the truth. so therefore the deal is rescinded. is he now, believe it or not, in solitary confinement as he awaits sentencing. ainsley: all right. so that's the julian assange. that's the paul manafort side of this. then there is also jerome corsi. he was on with tucker carlson. he said he was investigate you had by robert mueller's team and they accused him of lying under oath. then they charged him with a crime because he couldn't give them what they wanted. listen. >> the special prosecutors blow you up. they do this what i call perjury trap. completely rigged and it's politically driven by clinton operatives who have an agenda. if you can't give them what they are looking for to fill their narrative, they blow you up and charge with you a crime. brian: what jerome corsi said was i turned over my twitter account and emails and text messages. i sat down with the probe forever. they came back to me and said how come you didn't tell me about this email okay i forgot about it. i will tell you about this email.

i would amend my statement. he amends the statement. he thought he was clear. and now it looks as though he was aprochingsd with a plea bargain that he is going to be charged with he went with tucker last night. the most damning communication seems to be this from roger stone to corsey. word is julian assange plans more two more dumps. this was in august of 2016. one shortly after i'm back october 2nd. the impact planned to be very damaging. the question is are new communication with julian assange? is julian assange in communication with russia? is jerome corsi in communication with the president? that seems to be what mueller is trying to circle and that seems to be where roger stone comes in because roger stone is talking to jerome corsey. the question is do they talk to the president? and if they weren't talking to the president, is this political gossip as roger stone says or. steve: right. brian: does robert mueller think he has something? steve: mr. corsi says he has no communication with julian assange flatly.

robert mueller not getting exactly what he is looking for. >> this is pretty rare when it comes to criminal cases overall. it's not rare when it comes to robert mueller. you know, he already has had problems with witnesses who have been involved in plea agreements. one stage or the other. usually these are witnesses who are desperate for deals and really would not risk ticking off a prosecutor. so, clearly mueller is not getting what he wants. the question is he getting enough to get him where he wants to go? steve: and then there is that lead piercing noise. brian: which martha insists on using. i don't know why. steve: there is some suggestion that ecuador may be preparing to turn mr. assange over to the united states. mueller will perhaps get his hands on him if that's true. ainsley: jillian has new headlines for us.

jillian: overnight cindy hide smithyde smith wins run off election. she defeated mike espy by a wide marginal. the win gives republicans a 53-47 majority in the senate. we have a live report from jackson, mississippi later this hour. president trump may cancel his meeting with russian president vladimir putin over rising tensions with ukraine. the president telling "the washington post," quote: i don't like that aggression. former cia station chief daniel hoffman who served in moscow says the president should keep the meeting. >> i would encourage the president to meet with putin and hold him publicly accountable for russia's nefarious, this latest instance of russia's nefarious aggression against ukraine. we know from the obama administration's experience when you talk to russia and don't have any counter measures, it only encourages russia's further aggression. jillian: this week, russian forces seized three ukrainian navy ships claiming they illegally

entered russian waters. first mars and now the moon. nasa expected to reveal plans for return trip to the moon. the last time american astronauts made the journey was back in 1972. the space agency says the new mission involves partnering with american companies. we will get more information at a news conference tomorrow. nasa just successfully landed the insight o'e inrover . steve: that was animation. brian: meg ryan and john mellencamp not married yet but they are engaged. ainsley: did he dropped cougar. brian: someone says he is john cougar mellencamp. ainsley: best wishes. you are not supposed to say congratulations to a married couple? steve: i didn't know that. ainsley: i'm not superstitious. i don't know why i'm saying

this. brian: straight ahead. republican leaders sitting down with president trump to work out a deal to get the border wall built. how did it go? liz cheney was in the room. she will join us next. ainsley: outrage in one community where a veteran wakes up and finds his trump 2020 flag destroyed. lf-washed. add downy to keep your collars from stretching. unlike detergent alone, downy conditions to smooth and strengthen fibers. so, next time don't half-wash it. downy and it's done. over the last 24 hours, you finished preparing him for college. in 24 hours, you'll send him off thinking you've done everything for his well being. but meningitis b progresses quickly and can be fatal, sometimes within 24 hours. while meningitis b is uncommon,

ainsley: democrats are gearing up for shut down show down over president trump's border wall refusing to budge over $5 billion price tag. steve: some republicans met with the president yesterday for a deal before funding runs out next week. liz cheney was in that meeting and she is here to tell us what she can. good morning, congresswoman. >> good morning, guys. great to be with you. steve: we know that the house has passed a bill. $5 billion. then you have got that other chamber, the senate and have you chuck schumer saying you know, we think 1.6 billion is enough money and that's not enough for the president, is it? >> no, it's not enough for the country. the president has been very clear. we have got to have $5 billion for border security. obviously the wall is a part of that and, you know, the democrats have got a very tough situation there. because you see what's happening at the border. >> you see the extent to which have you got this caravan of people that, you

know, the democrats would like people to believe that they are legitimate asylum seekers. legitimate asylum seekers don't attack border guards. they don't throw rocks and bricks and rush the border. you have a situation where every day on the news now we are seeing how crucially important it is that we make sure that we believe up security on our border. and the president is not willing to give on this. he has been very 23eur78 and fid get the $5 billion. ainsley: president is firm on 5 billion. tells "the washington post" is he considering a plan b for the wall. did he talk about that in the meeting? did he say what his plan b would be? >> no. the plan is we have got to get $5 billion for the wall. we are in a situation now where we have actually provided funding for our military. we have provided funding for labor and hhs and same appropriations bill. that's been completed and signed. and the president has been clear that he is willing to shut down the government if we don't get this 5 billion. and, you know, the democrats

as i said, they are in a tough spot. they want to abolish ice. they want to have open borders. the american people are watching the kind of crime that that would result n terms of the people flooding across our border. and the president is exactly right. the house republicans are with him. we have got to make sure that we secure the border. steve: exit question. 30 seconds. so the president did say yesterday he is willing to shut down the government over this? >> he did. and he said that publicly as well. buff it's crucially important one of the most sacred obligations we all have in elected officials and that he has to protect this nation to secure the border. is he going to make sure that gets done. steve: all right. ainsley: congresswoman, thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you, guys. great to be with you. ainsley: you are welcome. one city wants to give addicts a safe place to do their drugs. is that a good idea? steve: brenda sniption could snd be walking away with a major payday. that story is coming up ♪ i want to reach out and grab you

institute. we have jenna ellis and democratic political analyst jason nichols. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning, steve. steve: jason, let's start with you. you think this is a good idea, why? >> i do. think we all across the board know that drugs are a public health problem and not a criminal one. this will be a way to stop overdose related deaths. these supervised injection sites will also clean up our environment and make it so that there aren't needles in public bathrooms and in public parks and on the streets. you know, i'm from the baltimore area and can i remember going to the park and seeing needles on the ground which were very unsafe. this also will help some of the other issues in terms of the spike of hiv and hepatitis from needle sharing. this actually gives us a lot of advantages and will make things better for our society. steve: jenna, your point of view? >> yeah, this isn't

innovative. it's absurd. we all definitely want to help treat addiction and mental health but supervising and facilitating drug use is absolutely the inappropriate way. while we may want to do all of the wonderful things that jason just stated but statistics in colorado actually show that most crime is drug-related and since 2012 in colorado specifically the crime rate has gone up, felony filings have gone up 46% since 2013 when the drug laws were actually minimized and penalties were minimized and there have been double the rate of filings in general. there is absolutely no reason to believe that if we have a safe injection site where there is not even exexemption where kids couldn't be brought to this site that would actually help treat addiction when there is no reciprocal responsibility on the addicts part to actually take advantage of any of those programs. they can go and shoot up without having any criminal responsibility or liability.

steve: jason, what's your main concern? i know you think by and large it's a good idea. what's your main concern about this program? >> so, well, number one, i just want to say that there have been 75 studies that have shown that the sites are not linked to an increase in crime or drug use. so i think that that's absolutely false. my main concern, to be honest, i have lost friends to overdose and i honestly don't have any concerns. the medical community is 100 percent behind. this people who actually have a background in this. so, i think that this will actually be a good thing for our society and cleaning things up so that people don't get sick and die. we have had -- you know, even president trump has shown his own concern with the overdoses in our country. so i think this is a good step. steve: jenna, you've got to admit the intent of trying to, you know, prevent

overdose deaths, that is admirable. because it's an epidemic in this country. >> oh, of course. the opioid epidemic is absolutely a crisis in america. but creating a safe space where people can legally go and commit a criminal activity outside of the zone of criminal responsibility is not the way to treat addiction or mental health. and the statistics. >> can you get treatment. >> jason just cited. but treatment has always been in the context of drug court, probation, or some other responsibility that attaches to greater penalties for addicts when they are actually willing to get help. >> and it hasn't worked. >> it has helped. in studies and i used to be a prosecutor and defense attorney here in colorado. drug court absolutely works. and that's only because of the threat of higher penalty. and so this type of safe space to allow people to come is not going to prevent this and there is no -- >> -- they have done this in canada. they have done it in australia. it's actually lowered the amount of overdose related deaths. and that's what we are

trying to do is save lives. >> well, in the end and minimizing drugs in colorado has not worked. steve: jenna ellis, you get the final word. jason nicoles you got the first word so thanks for joining us live today. >> thanks steve, thanks, jenna. >> thank you, steve. steve: what do you think about this friends@foxnews.com and we are also on facebook. senator marco rubio is going to be joining us. tammy bruce. we have dr. oz and jerry falwell jr. all here live. plus, this guy brings a whole new meaning to, yep, couch surfing. that's him on the roof of a vehicle holding on to a couch. ♪ if that's moving up ♪ then i'm moving out ♪ ♪ i'm moving earn 4% cash back on dining and 4% on entertainment. now when you go out, you cash in. what's in your wallet?

aspects. my argument is sorry just ran up here. steve: i know. >> in the morning. brian: this is why this whole proposal miss of this story is so powerful because if republicans are going to try to take a message away from the memoirs and correct it in two years they lost the suburbs. and they have the rural community and have they truly lost the suburbs and why? >> that was a mistake. this is the message. i consider it a shot across the bough. what happened is they gave the republicans the house and the senate and the white house. promises were made about obamacare as an example which did not materialize. steve: repeal and replace. >> repeal and replace obamacare. we watched that play out in public. that didn't happen that was a major issue. i contend women in particular are voting now on the issues. they are not voting on whether or not they like donald trump. can i tell you that right now is he a known entity. they understand him. they are voting on being betrayed. they are sending a message that we want something to

change and the g.o.p., that's the lesson that they clern and they have to adapt to it. steve: take a look at some of the headlines after the midterms. the "u.s.a. today" said the suburbs turned on republicans and trump. midterm election results prove it cnbc had the headline suburban revolt led to democrats house majority win. these healthy neighborhoods delivered democrats to house majority. >> yes. technically all of that is true. steve: absolutely. i think have you got a great point as the president said when he was still running, put me in the big chair and then if i have got a republican congress, both houses, we are going to get stuff done. >> we believed what we all believed. remember, at the beginning, he thought they had a plan to repeal and replace obamacare. because we were all told that and as was he. he thought i think it was pruitt, everybody was already going to be ready. was going to implement this thing. i believe he was a surprised as we were that this was something that in fact, they never really intended to do.

they never expected to get the white house. this is a message for the republicans and also for the president. it is important -- the president was elected for a reason but also to talk to those women that this is now. brian: women in particular. >> women in particular because they are not voting based, i contend, on party loyalty now. it's about communication is expanded to such a degree that we're voting whether you are in the urban area or in the suburbs what's best for the family. it is about the economy. but healthcare impacts the economy. so does, of course, the nature of how we relate to each other. so when it comes to the media, the hostility that we saw with the democrats, but, at the same time, if you are going to send a message to someone about, all right, look, let's get this right. we know what we need to do. they trust that the president will get things done. but they also know that, in fact, there is going to have to be a message that's sent. brian: don't you also think that the president's tone when he tweeted out horse

face stormy daniels and was kind of abrupt there women vote went away aberration if they were ticked off. >> we learned about him as a moderated himself a great deal. if we're talking about tone. watching people being chased outside of restaurants. watching women of the g.o.p. in particular being attacked as either being traitors or not real women or abandoning their gender, these -- or as nazis, that is equally as ugly and, in fact, personally dangerous. when the wives of television hosts have to need a pantry to avoid a mob in front of their home. no matter who they are, that is, of course, appalling to the american people. i think the president, he understands the nature of tone. but he was also elected. we know he is an unusual guy. and we want his job to be able to be done. but we now know that congress has to be a part of

it. so, my point is the g.o.p. has to do better. they have to, in fact, not take certain groups for granted. the communication has to be for women. not on, quote: women's issues. all issues are women's issues, right? it's about recognizing that betrayal now is an issue. and if people are not going to be voting necessarily on a party line, then they're voting on a line for america that we're partisans for the country. the democrats should keep this in mind. what happened with kavanaugh was appalling. and if they think that's going to continue, american women will reject that as well. that's why the republicans kept the senate. right? this is - is-we want action. the president is a man of action. he is the one to follow. and i think that we're going to see that play out in the next two years. brian: tammy bruce, thanks so much. >> my pleasure. steve: coming up, president trump is vowing to crack down on border security. what does congress need to do to make that happen? tammy was just talking about

that. senator marco rubio is live, and he's next. before nexium 24hr mark could only imagine... a peaceful night sleep without frequent heartburn waking him up. now that dream is a reality. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn?

♪ brian: president trump vowing to crack down on border security as dhs estimates we can currently expect 10,000 migrants at our doorstep in a matter of weeks. what does congress need to do? florida g.o.p. senator marco rubio is all over this. worked hard on immigration reform. some type of compromise. senator, what do you think this weekend's surge at our border does for this issue? >> hopefully it makes people pay nor attention to the catastrophe that we have on our hands with regard to all of this. let's begin with a simple predicate. we are a nation that has always welcomed immigrants. we continue to welcome

immigrants. we want to welcome immigrants into the united states. there has to be a process for immigration. a process that controls the number of people, who they are. we know more about them. the place they enter. how many people every year. there has to be a process for. that is like there is for charity or anything. there has to be a process for people to access generosity. what's happening on the border is a deliberate effort to test that system and to sort of create a crisis around it. and i think what you saw this weekend, look, i saw the images. i don't want to see images of kids being hit with tear gas and women and people running from that. no one likes those images. what they didn't take pictures of is the hundreds and hundreds of people not women and not children who were throwing rocks and bolts at law enforcement authorities and by the way they weren't just attacking u.s. border security. they were also attaching mexican authorities on the other side. i'm not saying that's everybody there i'm saying that's enough people there that warranted the response that you saw to get control of the situation. so what we need to do now is physical barriers on the border that allow us to

control the flow of traffic. we also need -- by the way, one of the best things we can do, if possible, and we have to re-examine what we are doing about it now is help countries like honduras and guatemala deal with the reasons why people are leaving in the first place. that's the ultimate border security. in the short-term we have to have physical structures that protect our border and funnel traffic in a way that border security and authorities can track it better and control it better. brian: senator, just to get clarification for people who look at those images and take different things from it not unique. just video there 2012 the president obama administration used tear gas 26 times at the border. 2013, 27 times. 2014, 15 times. now you have a situation where the numbers line up here in 2018. so it's not new. so if democrats and republicans really know this and don't want to play politics with this, what can we expect in this lame duck session? the president wants 5 billion for the wall. schumer says i have 1.6. i'm looking to put for the wall. what's the reality?

what can you come together on? >> yeah. the thing is people view this as oh if you take half that should be enough. you need to be enough to finish it i have a house for sale i can only sell you second floor. having a partial wall is not enough. this is a project that's designed to slow traffic. you want to cut off areas where people can cross so they can only cross in certain places and then you can monitor those places. if the wall is not built all 800 miles, if you don't have the entire system in place, none of it works. not one of those things where can you get half of it half of it is is good as none of it people allowed to come in to make sure they are entering through points of entry that we can monitor from everything from human trafficking and drugs and contra band and vice versa. it's actually safer for everybody. that is the purpose of the wall. that's the reason why we have all those little barricades and stuff at tsa so people have to walk

through a line and you can monitor people when they walk through the line at the airport. it's a very similar concept. i guess you are not very hopeful of getting something done with a lame duck session and what could be a hostile house to what you want to do. you also care a lot about what's happening in china as the president goes and sits down with president xi shortly. you hope the president brings up religious freedom over there they are cracking down big time especially on muslims, correct? >> yes, in the uighur region. they are cracking down on them in a way we haven't seen in a long time. could be up over a million people. hundreds of thousands in basically concentration canks. detention camps jailing people because of their religion. you know what's realline been outrageous about this all over the world, even many of the muslim countries have been silent about it because china has apparently bought their silence. it's an outrage. i want the president to raise that i also want the president to raise the broader issues of our relationship with china. they are cheating and their stealing of american

intellectual property. their unfair trade practices. and i hope we don't make the first offer because xi has made it a career allowing a dead lock situation he sits back and let's the other side offer first so you can negotiate against yourself. brian: thank you so much. appreciate it look forward to seeing what happens g-20. ♪ the greatest wish of all... is one that brings us together. the lincoln wish list event is here. . . only at your lincoln dealer.

>> which were prepared last time. we will be prepared for any additional migrants. the president made quite clear we will not tolerate illegal oy violent entry into our country. he talked about it for a month in advance as caravans making their way up. he raised awareness. he called in the military. called in constantine wire. and we will not allow illegal entry into our country. steve: we saw hundreds of migrants running toward the u.s. border, there apparently was a hole in the wall. there is a hole. i think self dozen, maybe three dozen or four dozen migrants got through. they were later arrested and sounds like they were deported. that makes the case the president was talking all along, need a border wall. so far it sounds like the house

appropriated $5 billion. you need the senate. over on the senate side, chuck schumer said i think 1.6 billion we suggested already is plenty. mitch mcconnell said yesterday he is willing to work with congress and the democrats to get the 5 billion but the president at the same time has made it very clear if he doesn't get the money, there is going to be a problem. ainsley: i will shut doesn't government. he talks about plan b. he told "the washington post" he is considering plan b for the wall. we need democrats vetos have a wall. if we don't get it, will i get it done another way? i might get it done another way. there are other potential ways i can do it. you saw what we did with the military coming in with the barbed wire and fencing, various other things. brian: here is list cheney earlier on our show. >> plan is, we've got to get $5 billion for the wall. the president has been clear, he is willing to shut down the government if we don't get this 5 billion. the democrats, as i said, they're in a tough spot.

they want to abolish i.c.e. they want open borders. the american people are watching the kind of crime that would result in terms of people flooding across our border. ainsley: the president sat, was in closed-door session, in a meeting with a lot of these leaders in the house, these congressman and women. she was in the meeting. she doubled down saying i will shut down the government if need be. brian: marco rubio said 1.6 is not enough. we need the five billion. you can't build part of it. i sense we can build part of it, easier to ask for 3 instead of five. if people see results it could help the political momentum. he is working on comprehensive immigration. other big story, robert mueller and the probe is hitting warp speed. do you think it is coming to a close? really depends what perspective you're coming from. this story broke in the middle of radio show yesterday, i assume, 10:00, "the guardian" in england break as story, paul

worry about it, cross illegally you can still make asylum claim if they ever catch you. again we have all these forces conspiring to make the problem worse. that is why i recently suggested we should use the power congress created back in 1996 to allow president to deputize state and local police if there is mass influx. we should do that now. steve: interesting. there are rumors that department of homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen could be out. they need a replacement. your name has been mentioned as a replacement. what can you tell us about that? >> if there is a vacancy and the president asks me to serve the country i would certainly considered it and be honored to do so right now the key we have to be focused on this, congress, president, state and local authorities who can help, have the opportunity to do so because the crisis is right here, right now. steve: chris kobach in kansas. thank you very much. >> thank you.
