winner on who he won. one of the reasons he won because he knew the name of our show "fox & friends." he gave us an exclusive interview. brian: at the last minute he bailed on all the other shows on cnn and decided to go with us. ainsley: got it smart move. steve: not familiar with that show. back in the new york groove. you know what? we have a busy three hours it starts right now with this. steve: it is the final farewell to george herbert walker bush born 1924 and was about to be buried today. saint martin's episcopal church in houston, texas where the president is lying in repose. ainsley: huge crowds lining up over night to pay their respects to bush 41. thinking about john mcgraph bush 41 thought will anyone go. he worried no one would show up. man did, they show up. william la jeunesse joins us

live from the presidential library in college station where the president will be buried today. hey, william. >> good morning, brian. imagine what an emotional roller coaster it has been for the bush family. anyone who lost anyone close knows you are trying to get through service in one peace. the national cathedral yesterday and then another service today at 10:00 a.m. in houston at saint martin's the eulogy delivered by former secretary of state james baker and the president's grandson george p. bush. following that service the funeral train will come here to college station. now, one of the reasons the president chose texas a&m as his final resting place it is founded as a military college. they still have many of the traditions here. we spoke to some of the 2400 cadets and they said they will be honored to be part of today's ceremony. >> there's a lot of things that you can emulate from president george bush. we hope to really carry on the traditions of showing

the utmost respect to every tradition and everything he stands for. >> so the train is going to pass through eight cities. 70 miles. it will slow down but it will not stop. along the sides there is plexiglass on the funeral car allowing those who line the route to seat casket inside. it will arrive here around 3:25. met by a chorus of cadets as well as the aggie band. the funeral, these funeral trains were common in 18 and 100s, lyn lincoln, graham, eisenhower in 1969. >> people were not passenger. we mainly haul freight. president bush as a veteran of world war ii. he went to war on the train. he came home from war on the train. and i think that emotional connection to the railroad really stuck with him. >> so the train is going to stop about a mile from here. the family will get off the passenger cars followed by

the casket. then will make a short drive here. the navy will have a 21 jet flyover. then, of course, a third jet and that missing man maneuver will head towards the heaven. the family disappear in an area behind me with sycamores and oaks. the burial area where the president will be buried alongside barbara and of course their daughter robin who died of leukemia at age 3. you will hear that final 3 voluntarily shot. his legacy will live on here at the university and the library. guys, bark to you. ainsley: he is finally home. steve: live in college station. i love the idea of the train that looks like the 747. bush 41, 41. the union park. union pacific back in 2005, 2006 decided to do this dedicate you had to him. william mentioned the last time they had a funeral train was with dwight eisenhower when he was buried in 1969. i was there.

i was a sixth grade kid in abilene, kansas. we sought train pull up and saw them take the body off of the train right there in abilene depot. it is a day that texas will never forget. ainsley: he deserves it there were a lot of people there yesterday. phil mickelson, peyton manning, prince charles, not to mention all the political figures. brian: first row was magical. all the presidents. steve: didn't seem like they were all talking to each other. brian: can you give me one second to be idealistic before you shoot me down. can we wait for the commercial? brian: no doubt about it the bush family prides themselves on the emotion. listen, we are a family of bawlers, you wonder how president george w. bush so close to his dad would handle getting through the eulogy. here is a portion of it. >> we're going to miss you, your decency, sincerity and kind soul will stay with us forever.

so through our tears, let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you, a great and noble man. the best father a son or daughter could have. and in our grief, by this smile knowing that dad is hugging robin and holding mom's hand again. [applause] steve: of the four eulogist us his was the only speech that got applause. but there wasn't a dry eye in the house. ainsley: when he mentioned robin. robin was 3 years old when she died of luke, a nightmare for a parent. i can only imagine. she was born in 1953. and now the three of them are back together again. brian: right. so i hearken back to the respect that the president is getting right now in death is gratifying but,

yet, i also remember vividly how he was treated in life especially in his four years in office. brit hume actually covered him then, got to know the family well. and put it all in perspective last night. >> so this occasion, when this man is getting at last, i think, the recognition he deserved for what was a momentous and important presidency in which very important things were accomplished that were kind of overlooked at the time in part because they went well. so i was honored to be there and to see it all and hear it all and experience it all. steve: jon meacham gave george herbert walker bush a chance to hear the speech because, keep in mind, they had been planning this funeral since 2011. and meacham said the former president 41 looked at it and heard it and then goes that's a lot about me, john. it's supposed to be all about him. as you watched yesterday, it

was impossible to stop watching because it was, you know, when we bury our presidents, the american federal government does such a beautiful job. and given the fact that the bush family has planned this for so long, such attention to detail. it was beautiful. ainsley: there were some sweet moments, some touching moments and some funny moments. 43 talked about how his dad was no fred astair he couldn't dance very well he hates vegetables, especially broccoli and he passed that trait on. brian: with president bush's body in houston and he will be burden of proof idea later on today, washington is trying to get back to business as usual and fighting as usual, which is so much a part of what we have been witnessing over the last few years. the senate and house expected to pass a short-term spending bill lasts about a couple weeks to avoid a shutdown. only right and polite. however, the big issue has not been solved yet. that is what is happening at our border, the funding of the border wall which the president ran on and won on

as well as the decision by secretary of defense mattis to leave our troops on the border past christmas and they are bracing for a surge of illegal immigrants in arizona now. ainsley: we saw what happened in tijuana. where tijuana borders with san diego and that was on november 25th. and we saw those folks trying to storm the border. that's when the border patrol agents had to use the tear gas because the migrants were throwing rocks and debris and taunting the agents. enough to they are worried this could happen in arizona. they had a major training session. a large scale readiness exercise just to prepare. steve: that's right. also a couple of days ago apparently one of the members of the migrant community there in tijuana climbed over the border fence. and landed on the american side and she was 8 months pregnant and she was arrested along with some others and then she had the baby here on american soil and the baby now, according to law is an american citizen. she did say that her dream was to come to the united

states and do that, be reunited with her family in columbus, ohio. and she said that giving birth on u.s. soil was the big reward for the long journey all the way from honduras. brian: brings up the debate of birthright citizenship that the president brought up right before elections day. steve: it's the law. ainsley: is he not for it he wants to sign an executive order to end it. brian: over 2016 to today that is building the wall and getting security a major issue in america e what is playing out right now is exactly what the president said. it is chaos on the border. they need help. they need a barrier. and i think he is going to go to the mat to get his 5 billion. ainsley: 1789-year-old gave birth released from custody pending her immigration case. her family walls released because of the catch and release. her child is now an american citizen. send it over to carley who has headlines for us. carley: we begin with a fox news alert. a desperate such underway for five marines after a

♪ brian: former trump national security advisor michael flynn helped robert mueller's investigation so substantially that the special counsel recommended no jail time for lying to federal investigators. should anybody be concerned in the president's camp or the president himself. where will the mueller probe go from here? are they almost done? let's ask former assistant

u.s. attorney and fox news contributor andy mccarthy. andy, you see the seven pages? do you see the redactions? what do you make of it? >> well, of course we can't see what's under the redactions so we don't know exactly what it is that general flynn told the special counsel or at least have the special counsel interprets it. i think the part that we are able to see, brian, is consistent with what i have been arguing for the last number of months and what some other people have observed which is, number one, we're winding down toward the end of this. you don't let -- as the prosecutor, you don't let the cooperating witnesses get sentenced until you are at the end of the investigation and you can make an appraisal of how cooperative they have been and, secondly, there is a lot in there that indicates that mueller is trying to justify the fbi's investigation. that is to say even if they don't find that there was

citeable criminal conduct by president trump they will say there was adequate reason for the fbi and the obama administration, very controversially, to launch an investigation of the opposing party's campaign. brian: so meanwhile they picked up flynn by listening to kislyak and we are not supposed to know who flynn's name was. he's an american. it turns it out his name ends up in the "the washington post." does that bother you? >> it bothers me in this sense, brian. that felony, that is the dissemination of that national security, that classified information to the "the washington post" is by geometric standard more serious offense than anything that flynn did. in fact, it wasn't until -- i actually, looking at this, i think flynn, the rationale for prosecuting flynn is the misstatements about turkey and the fact that he should have religion registered with the justice department under the fara agent provisions.

and that wasn't treated as a crime until mueller came along. generally, the justice department would tell you to get right with the law. they wouldn't make it a felony. but here we have this dissemination of fisa information which is among the country's most closely held classified information and as far as who is going to get prosecuted for that, all i'm hearing is crickets so far. brian: in terms of collusion, speaking to a russian ambassador is not collusion. speaking to an israeli ambassador is not collusion? that's called doing your job. >> right. yeah. if you are the incoming national security advisor, that's kind of what you are supposed to be doing. i do think it's kind of surprising to see, maybe not surprising but mueller cites the logan act which is this really unconstitutional 2-plus century old provision that no one has ever been prosecuted under. he kind of endorses that as a basis for investigating flynn. steve. brian: we will see what

happens. you do see some indications like others that this thing might be coming to a close. andy mccarthy, thanks so much. all right. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead. parents can track their kids the same way police track criminals. is that a good idea? g.p.s. ankle bracelets? i think. so make that thousands of configurations. it would keep an eye on my fleet.

steve? steve: all right, steve, than -- all right, ainsley,than. a south florida company is debuting g.p.s. ankle monitors giving parents the ability to track their kids 24 hours a day. is this going a little too far? here with the discussion we have got the owner of tampa bay monitoring frank and family therapist tom kersting is screen right. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> steve: frank, let's start with you. hold up the gizmo and tell us who this is intended for. >> well, actually, we have had -- we were contacted by patiencparents and what they asd us for was there a way of monitoring their children. we are talking about runaways and children sneaking out in the middle of the night who might have -- who they suspect has a drug problem is looking to score drugs.

so, and in order to be able to tell where they are to be able to intervene this was the device that we came up with that was the answer. and for several reasons, number one, it is a heavy device, but it has a strap that is almost impossible to cut off which juvenile authorities will tell you the biggest problem that you have with monitoring children is they cut the strap off if it's a simple strap. steve: i understand the parent can turn on. there is a meek phone you can actually hear what is being said in the room. tom, what do you think about this? i mean, clearly frank makes it very abundantly clear this is for parents who are at wits end because their kids are running away, using drugs, they are at the bad end of the spectrum. >> at first blush when people hear about this they think it's extreme and tracking our kids now with ankle bracelets and sound criminal. there are ads zif.

>> it is an app. you can put on your phone. one is g.p.s. tracking if you are apt to do that with your children. i think before anybody goes after frank saying how terrible he is for inventing something like, this the fact what you are saying frank is for kids with criminal behavior, drugs, running away and so forth. those are the exsteamin extreme examples. >> we have to read into it more before we make any decisions on it. steve: frank, if you are out average parent looking in right now and you wonder every once in a while i wonder if my kids are at the mall or school or something like that. this is not for them, right? >> no. no. i compare this to a smoke detector in your house a smoke detector is not going to put out the fire. it's going to allow you to save you and your family's lives by evacuating the house. i encourage all my parents that if your child has a drug problem, if your child has a mental issues. get help. we don't like -- i don't

want to ever foresee keeping something like this on longer than six months. this should be a stop gap to keep them from possibly ending up a statistic dying of a drug overdose or being trafficked. steve: all right. >> which are horrible situations. >> one other quick thing, steve. i think it's harder if i have an app. like the one i mentioned on the phone. you have heard time getting the phone away from your child than the g.p.s. thing away from them. steve: everybody who has iphone find my iphone and track everybody on your account if you want to know where my wife is there she is right there. frank, i understand you have been hearing from parents from all across the country who are interested in this service, which does cost between 8 and $10 a day. you can only serve the people down in the tampa bay area, right? >> that's correct. for obvious reasons. if the child, for example, is playing football or soccer, they sustain an

injury. they need a cat scan. i don't have a jet to fly to montana or to illinois to take a bracelet off, have them take the test and then put the bracelet on another ankle. so, for safety sake, and being able to maintain the device correctly, we don't dethat. steve: all right. well now we know all about it tom and frank, thank you very much. >> thanks, steve. >> you are very welcome. steve: you betcha. 6:29 in new york city. let us know what you think about that. this video we are showing you right here. a cyclist nearly hit by speeding train at railroad crossing, just what? happened again at the same spot. new video coming up. senator kristin gillibrand is rumored to be a 2020 contender. she wants you to forget about men. she says the future is female. ♪ the eye of the tiger ♪ the fighter ♪ dancing through the fire ♪ because i am a champion ♪ and you're going to hear

lobbying for political groups in the ukraine and did not tell the federal government. you might say big deal. it is a big deal. in 1938 when the statute was enacted and there were americans helping the nazis in germany the federal government enacted a statute saying you are doing political work for a foreign political entity. we have the right to know about it. so, is the failure to register a crime? yes and no. if it's an honest mistake, you can register retroactively. steve: which i think they did. >> yes, but if you have deceived the government and hiding information from the government, that's the crime. that's what the feds in manhattan are looking at with respect to this podesta group and its connections to manafort. brian: they folded up shop immediately. greg craig was former white house counsel. >> and counsel for bill clinton in the impeachment trial. very prominent lawyer and

very prominent law firm. steve: this is one of those things be careful what you wish for. the democrats have been pushing this now suddenly wait, one of their guys got ensnared? >> the point the brian made this is the first time that the democrats or any democrat is arguably within the a ambit of something that bob mueller does. ainsley: what happens next? >> they will have to determine whether it was honest mistake or criminal. ainsley: if you are doing business with anyone, most of us know if you are doing business with someone else you have got to report that to the federal government especially in another country. >> if you were disbursing money for that entity and paying you huge amounts of money and you didn't want anyone to know about it this is the theory of the prosecutors, you might try to avoid reporting. several reporting statutes. the one that they use the foreign activities reporting act of 1938 is the one that requires the most information. brian: let's talk a little bit about michael flynn.

he made headlines yesterday by saying don jr. feels he will be indicted. >> i did say that and i basically was repeating what had already been out there. i since have heard from him and he said he never said it. brian: really? >> it was inaccurate statement. i take him at his word. but, the flynn revelations, which took place over 19 days, so probably 25 or 30 hours of debriefing, we don't know where it went. it was very frustrating as andy mccarthy just told you reading that submission because so much of the submission had been redacted. if the feds are being accurate and they swore to its accuracy, these are still ongoing criminal investigations. who are the targets? are they people around the president? are they people not around the president? there is an old law school examination. the fbi is looking for cancelled checks in the basement of your clothing closet and they find a severed head. what are they supposed to do?

look the other way? they have to investigate how the head got there. this is what sometimes takes them off on a tangent that has nothing to do with what they oorgely were looking for. ainsley: quite an analogy. judge: pleasure, guys, thanksgiving is over. steve: meanwhile a surge of migrants trying to get into the united states from california all of the way to south texas. border patrol chief manuel padilla says his agency is stretched to the limit. is he going to join us next hour. brian: christmas is 19 days away. are you still working on gift list? we have remote controlled gadgets, watches, more exclusively for "fox & friends" viewers next. ♪ run, run, rudolph ♪ e. and if i can get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected... you can get comfortable doing the same with yours.

h.w. bush is lying in repose. brian: the event is wrapping up now to prepare for the texas funeral. that will be later this morning. steve: that's right. he will arrive in college station via train. william la jeunesse joins us now from the bush presidential library there where the president will be buried later today. william. >> good morning, guys. it is still dark here there are a thousand points in the sky and tonight there will be one more. this is texas a&m university. the presidential library is behind me but also the president's -- the bush school of public service, that is his living legacy and the university for the rest of the year, the sports people will wear this logo of president bush right there. 41 on their helmets, on their sports jerseys as well. including the upcoming gator bowl. a.m. originated as a military college it is one reason the president chose it in 1990 while still in office as his presidential library and final resting

[applause]

ainsley: there they taps the casket of his father. he did a beautiful job eulogizing his father. that has to be extremely difficult to fight back the tears. steve: it is. i have done it. brian has done it it's really hard. the hardest speech you will ever get. brian: i get the sense he wrote it. i am sure we get the back speech on it. they have been planning this since 2011 in detail. so everybody knew the oldest child let alone the former president of the united states and his son will be giving it still, it doesn't prepare you for the moment. a couple of things. not easy closing out a show with a whole world is watching. john wheelchai meacham was grea. profound writer. senator simpson was great. mull rooney was good. former prime minister of canada.

and he also eulogized barbara bush. i thought going to live on forever. what i thought was so good over the last few days people weren't talking about persian gulf wars or the economy or winning or losing elections. talking about the quality of the character of the person. i think that's what goes through. even if you are not in politics. people talking about what kind of life do you want to lead? how do you want to be remembered? making a lot of people get into these conversations? do you want to be known as the richest? the best. want to have the most friends and respect? if all of those things are yes, yes, and yes. how do you do that? man you did what he did. ainsley: the family wanted a ceremony of unity. they had all of the four other presidents sitting together. chelsea clinton was talking to mike pence see the trumps and obamas and clintons and carters were sitting on the other side. steve: much have been said about how the trumps and obamas. there wasn't a lot of

interaction. trumps and obamas did but no interaction with the clintons. ainsley: melania came over and hillary just shook her head. steve: i recognize you. all showed up and it was a great honor of the 41st president. brian: weren't we told not to talk in church? you can't talk about what have you been doing? what's it like not running the country anymore? ainsley: normally in a formal church you don't clap either. this is cathedral they did clap after 43 eulogized his dad. steve: it was terrific. meanwhile there is a bit of news. house republicans have been trying to get the white house to declassify certain documents. a tantamount of information has come out. they want the president to declassify an email chain between the fbi and the department of justice because they say it will, according to john solomon at the hill, he says it's damning evidence of potential abuses of fisa and

has been kept from members of congress for the last two years. ainsley: they say the intel community was concerned about the reliability of that dirty dossier and they were aware before getting the fisa warrant. brian: here is john solomon last night on sean hannity. >> there are two or three very important revelations. one is that james comey is involved in discussions. two, there is mention in these emails that the intelligence community, possibly the nsa or another agency had concerns about the quality of the intelligence in the steele dossier. and, three, that there were pretty significant worries, concerns that christopher steele had already begun talking to the news media. this is before they filed the fisa warrant, before they fire him if all those things are true and conference about the steele dossier. steve: sounds like really a smoking gun. now the ball is in the

president's court. the president has been talked out of declassifying other stuff by members of congress and by the department of justice. will he go ahead and reveal this stuff that's in his power? sty tuned. brian: will these questions come up to james comey behind closed doors. if you go after me and you want to declare war on the presidency, i have something in my arsenal. ainsley: unfolding. carley shimkus has headlines for us. a car are a a fox news alert. a desperate search underway for five marines after warplanes clyde off the coast of japan. two crew members have been rescued so far. one of them is in fair condition. the second marine is being evaluated at a hospital. the fighter jet and refueling plane crashed during a routine training exercise like this one you see right here we will bring you more information as it comes. in fox business alert. stock market on edge. it's about to reopen after the national day of mourning

for george h.w. bush. it's been a roller coaster week of gains and losses and uncertainty over the u.s. china trade. they are confident in the 90 day tax. and trump is optimistic saying very strong signals being sent by china. a potential land mark supreme court case could affect a robert mueller russia probe. double jeopardy loophole allowing state and federal government to prosecute someone for the same crime. could effect paul manafort. potential state charges even if pardoned by the president. and remember this scene from christmas vacation? ♪ well, it happened in real life. police in england spotting this van, can you believe this? with a giant christmas tree

on top. police posting the photo to warn drivers about the dangers of holiday driving. don't holiday drive, folks. ainsley: top of the tree is dragging on the ground. steve: can't see the hood for the tree. ainsley: even the roots on the end like they ripped it out of the ground. brian: just reminds me of something else that happened. the guy tied my my tree up to my car. did this ever happen to you i have no more cash anymore. i live in a cashless society. i'm not able to tip anybody unless they carry around a square. ainsley: carley brought up a good point about this guy. this guy has a mansion. a big house. he doesn't have a nice car. he spent all of his money on his house. steve: carley says the roots are still intact so it's as if he didn't cut it down. you are suggesting it's a stolen tree? carley: he just ripped it out of the car. ainsley: that's the

christmas vacation one the roots are dangling. brian: can i talk about myself again real quick. steve: might as well. brian: every year i forgot my stand because i want the guy to put the stand on and every year i go i can't forget it this year. now i have three christmas stands because i feel so guilty because i know i don't do a good job jamming it into the prongs. steve: that's the beauty of the artificial christmas tree it's already installed. ainsley: you drive down the road with the christmas tree on your car with the stand attached? that's even worse than the root? brian: i don't even tip them. ainsley: what? steve: you can put the stand on at home, most do. ainsley: just three little screws. steve: you have the whole family. ainsley: by the way, don't forget to water your tree. my tree was already out of water two days ago i need to do it when i get home. water your tree. brian: a surge of migrants trying to get into the united states from california from south texas. and border patrol is

stretched to the limit. how can we contain the caravan? we will ask the one guy who knows the border patrol chief you are going to meet. steve: secret emails just made public little embarrassing ♪ oh, oh, oh ♪ i like chillaxin'. the united explorer card makes things easy. traveling lighter. taking a shortcut. woooo! taking a breather. rewarded! learn more at the explorer card dot com.

brian: while migrant caravans are trying to cross the border into california. get this. there is a surge in migrants in south texas and arizona. ainsley: rio grande valley is ground zero for apprehension. stretching border patrol's resources and putting a strain on the agency as it continues with mission. apprehending 860 people per day compared to up to 145 arrests daily in san diego. steve: manuel padilla jr. is the director and he knows firsthand what the border patrol agents are up against. good morning to you. >> good morning, thank you for having me. steve: you be betcha. there is a story out this morning apparently border patrol is preparing for, perhaps, a surge with some of these migrants who may try to do what happened a couple weekends ago where they try to race across the border. tell us a little bit about that.

>> yes. i can tell you that we have an extremely difficult situation on the border something i have not seen in 32 years of service with the u.s. border patrol. what that situation is we have two very distinct problem sets. one is the traditional border security mission that includes ms-13, criminal aliens, narcotics trafficking and potential terrorist threat that comes consistently. that is a traditional border security mission. and then on top of that, now we have this humanitarian/asylum seeker mission. and that's really stretching the resources very, very thin as you mentioned. the difficulty in this is that humanitarian mission there is nothing that we can do at the field level. this requires congressional action close immigration loopholes and also for the border security mission.

of course, we need the infrastructure, the wall system to give the agents the tools that they need. ainsley: is it frustrating when you are spending your life's work down there and you want laws to change and congress isn't listening? >> well, yeah. it's not only frustrating but it's border security. border security is national security. so it's difficult to see that the agents are doing everything that they can. we are doing everything that we can with our partners. it just requires congressional action to fill or to, you know, take care of these two patrol car sets. brian: are the troops helping in mccallum. the role of the military is expanding, it seems. >> absolutely. i say often that border security is a team sport. troops coming down here down through south texas. we built up a lot of infrastructure, a lot of what we call impedence. laid some barriers to ensure that the caravan came this way we were ready to handle

it, yes. steve: sir, thank you very much for your service and telling us what's going on down south. ainsley: thank you. >> thank you so much. steve: you bet. ainsley: the number of application force police is plummeting one officer is here to explain why next. but in my mind i'm still 35. that's why i take osteo bi-flex to keep me moving the way i was made to. it nourishes and strengthens my joints for the long-term. osteo bi-flex because i'm made to move.

>> policing has gotten increasely complicated particularly in the last 10 years. a narrative nationally that isn't always pretty. and it's sometimes more than certain young people are willing to put up with. the expectations of this generation are different than our generation and the generations that preceded. it's a different time. brian: is it because a lot of officers feel as though the county, the state don't have their back in times of trouble yet they are putting their life on the line regularly? >> that's incredibly important point that you make there. and i think you are exactly right the police officers don't do it by and large for money they do it because it's helpful for other people. unfortunately it's not always appreciated. a narrative a foot in this country that isn't always true or fair. all those things play into what i believe. brian: we see it every day. look at these numbers in terms of officers.

724,000. it's now down to 701,000. you feel in new jersey not that big of a problem but around the country it is. >> it's certainly a problem around the country. new jersey the problem with retention exists and linked closely with the hiring process as well. you have to prepare young people as best a way you can to be ready for what they are going to see. sometimes a young person comes from a great home and they haven't seen some of the things that they're going to be exposed to during the early partly of their career. sometimes it's just too much for certain young people. ainsley: so this is a problem and we know this is a problem. especially in big cities how do we fix this? >> i can tell you what we have done in new jersey. we try to outreach to all the communities. a police department works at its best if the composition of the department reflects racially and otherwise the community it serves. so we are trying to do a larger outreach to communities of color and

communities of interest. we are also trying to prestage programs like the police cadets and police explorers. that prepares young people for what they might actually see and gives them proper mind set. gives them the back drop. brian: little bit chief, the economy is going so well so many opportunities that maybe people are looking to that right now. >> i think you are precisely right. again, if a young person can be educated and use their education to the best advantage and make your salary not have to be up all night and weekends and holidays and take a lot of guff from certain segments from society sometimes that is a factor. ainsley: times have changed. would you go back into it if you could do it all over again? i suppose i would. i often ask myself that question. i have three sons, two of which are very interested in the profession. i can tell you i feel for them. it's different today listen, somebody has to do it and do it well.

brian: proud of their dad who a police chief and keeping up the spirit. >> we try. we really do. we are proud of the communities that support us. we really are we feel blessed a lot of days just the people we are able to touch. brian: keep your eye on steve. is he in new jersey. >> i know. i heard that. i like him. ainsley: thanks, chief. >> thank you. brian: coming up straight ahead, have you seen this video a father making his daughter walk five miles home in the cold because she got kicked off the bus for bullying. your comments are pouring in about this one. we will share some of them next. ainsley: senator kristin gillibrand said forget about the men the future is the female. michelle malkin says that's no future at all. and she joins us next. brian: and she is a female ♪ what's wrong with being ♪ what's wrong with being ♪ confident ♪

♪ some kind of wonderful ♪ she's some kind of wonderful ♪ yes, she is ♪ she's some kind of wonderful. steve: are we singing about michelle malkin? ainsley: i think. so she is definitely some kind of wonderful. let's bring in michelle malkin columnist and investigative journalist. hey, michelle. >> hi there, appreciated that intro. brian: pick your own music when you walk up to the plate. did you pick that song? >> i did not. steve: one of our producers did. hey, michelle, you wrote that book called invasion talking about the immigration problem in the united states. there is a story out this morning one of the people who was in the caravan has since been released into the united states. apparently a 19-year-old pregnant woman from honduras by the name of mary hernandez was arrested after she entered imperial beach, california. she apparently climbed over

the border wall from tijuana, as soon as she was down on the ground on american soil she was arrested, and a couple of days later, apparently, she gave birth to an american citizen she said her goal was to join her family in columbus, ohio. and giving birth on u.s. soil was a big reward in the caravan. what do you say to that? >> that is the anchor baby problem. president trump has been right about this. he diagnosed a automatic birthright citizenship as one of the biggest magnets and incentives to come here and break the law he has been asking congress to do something about it. can you build 50-foot, 100-foot walls along the 2,000 miles of the southern border but if you don't turn off these magnets, it's going to result in a continued flow and going to see these caravans over and over and over again it is

time to rethink birthright citizenship. it is anomaly around the world there are only 30 nations that have it advanced industrial nations there are only two the u.s. and canada. for all of the open borders transnationallists always urging us to adopt the culture and practices of the rest of the world, this is one of the areas where they are clinging bitterly to a strange interpretation of the 14th amendment my parents came here legally. he was outraged because in his practice in atlantic city he saw women from around the world. it's not just women from south and central america who abusing this policy. it's people from kenya or russia or korea who wait until they're 8 and a half months pregnant to border a plane to get here. it's not just something that affects the border or a wall will fix.

unfortunately people in both parties don't want to address it. ainsley: let's talk about kristin gillibrand a senator, democrat, new york. she condemned bill clinton for monica lewenski. she wanted to stop judge kavanaugh. she just tweeted this our future is female. intersectional. powered by our belief in one another and we are just getting started. is that the future? i hope not, ainsley. sounds like the tweet of an oberlin college sophomore. i went to observer lynn. this is antimale grievance swallowing dog whistle. people don't understand that the history of this slogan which sounds really cute. wants it on a t-shirt for your daughter and make it seem as it if you are all about female empowerment. it's a dog whistle. the slogan came from the 1970s. and it was a feminist bookstore owner who sold shirts with this phrase and

then put a portion of the revenue towards donating to planned parenthood. and, you know, what this really have about is pandering to the far left extreme if that's how the democrats think they are going to beat president trump keep saying it. brian: why would you cut off 48% of the country. mazie hirono fame from brett kavanaugh hearings and beyond said this the other day what the big problem is. >> the democrats have a really hard time is connecting to people's hearts instead up here. we democrats know so much, that is true. and we have to tell everybody how smart we are. brian: yeah. is that an effective message? >> again, i would really like these women, mazie hirono and kristin gillibrand to keep blabbing. this is sob somebody of

course we have talked about mazie hirono before who has told all men to quote shut up. in the sense of condescension and elitism that comes out of her poors every time she is in front of a microphone is just going to turn off normal, every day people in flyover country. you know, there was a study that came out last week that contrasted the difference between how liberals and conservatives talk especially to minorities. what they found is that liberals have an almost racist sense when they approach people because of their sense of intellectual superiority. here we have mazie hirono saying they can't connect with voters because they are too smart and they are too dumb: this worked well in 2016. keep going. steve: let's see what they do in 2020. michelle malkin. it's a pleasure. out west on this thursday. brian: has anyone seen

steve: senator bernie sanders won't stop talking about climate change. >> donald trump spoke last night but somehow he forgot to mention the words climate change what an outrage.

>> climate change is causing devastating problems in our country and the world. >> the future of the planet is at stake. >> climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism. steve: okay, turns out sanders is so concerned about climate change that he spent nearly $300,000 in nine days flying around on private jets. here with reaction, marc morano. he is the executive director of climate depot.com and the author of the politically incorrect guide to climate change. marc, i thought private jets contributed to climate change. >> yeah, according to green peace, they are 10 times worse than train travel. and the most significant quote that bernie sanders has given, i think it was during the 2016 campaign he doesn't take money from fossil fuel companies because they are destroying the planet. no, he doesn't take money from them but he pays them and actually, if you go back to 2016, it was in excess of $1 million that he paid for his private jetts through the 2016 campaign.

latest figure was just helping other candidates during the midterms in 2018. so he has he a long history of paying fossil fuel companies to fly him around on a private jet. he loves fossil fuels. steve: the sanders campaign came out with a statement. this expense was for transportation for the senators' nine day nine state tour to support democratic candidates up and down the ballot ahead of election day: i can understand that because have you got to be in a bunch of places back to back to back. we are all for private jets but there is some hypocrisy going on here. isn't there? >> there is. he has taken a pledge during the 2016 campaign to be carbon neutral and he gave a lot of criticism because hillary signed on right away. the way he is able to achieve his carbon neutrality he takes a page from al gore. he paid less than $5,000, i believe it was like $4,900 to a company called native energy. and, therefore, they absolved him of all his

carbon dioxide. steve: how does that work in the carbon credit, right? how does that work? i spend $300,000 on jet travel and i'm going to give some company 5,000 bucks to do what? >> they do all kinds of things. sometimes they plant trees in africa. they invest i believe the company he invested in was putting in some kind of sand water filters, you know, investing in some technology in africa to help africans and do anything they can to support renewable energy, solar, wind. it's a way to green wash your money if you will to another company. you get a little certificate. you can tell people you are carbon neutral and then all your sins of emissions have been forgiven. steve: it doesn't sound as if you are letting bernie off the hook regarding this. >> no. in fact, bernie comes from a long line. just last month the u.n. environmental chief had to resign for being up in the air 80% of the time. the u.n. internal audit said he was an embarrassment.

leonardo dicaprio flies 8,000 miles to pick up environmental award. john travolta to gets the hypocrisy of this issue. he said he is not the best spokesman for climate change even though is he a big activist because he flies jets around. he has a whole airline hanger in his home. al gore lives in private jets and flies all around with huge carbon emissions. again, this is the sort of tone deaf, arnold schwarzenegger who went to the u.n. summit in poland and called president trump crazy for not believing in climate change, he commuted daily to the governor's mansion when he was governor at the same time touting his global warming bill. a total disconnect between what they claim to be doing and what the reality is. they want everyone else to give up fossil fuels, they themselves are unwilling to make an ounce of change in their lives. steve: i wonder if they are watching us now on their private jets. marc morano from private depot.com. thank you. >> thank you, steve. steve: straight ahead, congress set to vote on a

st. martin's church where the funeral for president george h.w. bush will be this morning. steve: thousands filed past the casket as bush 41 was in repose. ainsley: william la. >> gues joins us live from the bush bush presidential library in college station. one came from hawaii and went to washington to pay respects that is incredible. reporter: ainsley we've been here four days. a lot of people are using this as a teaching moment, bringing their kids to the library here to understand the man and his place in history. when george bush left yale with a degree of economics everyone thought he would go to wall street. instead in his words he wanted to make his way in life in the oil fields of west texas. made his life in houston, 1958. at the white house, 11,000 people attended the public viewing you were referring to. after those services at 10:00 a.m. in st. mart tip's

oppose copal in houston -- st. martin's episcopal will. this was founded as military college. there are still 2400 cadets here. they honor tradition, duty, integrity service. we spoke to two being honored to be part of the ceremony. >> a lot of things you can emulate from president george bush. we hope to carry on the traditions showing utmost respect to every tradition and everything that we stand for. reporter: so the trip will pass through eight cities, about 70 miles. it will slow, but won't stop. the size of the funeral car are plex sy glass, allowing those along the route to see the casket t arrives 3:25. there will be a chorus from the corps of cadets and fighting

aggie marching brand. funeral trains were pretty common in the 18, 1900's, you think lincoln, eisenhower. bush said to i went to war on a train, i came home on a train. i want my last trip to college station on a train. short motorcade here to the library then there will be a private service. pool cameras are where i am here. the family will disappear behind a tree line for a private ceremony where the president will be buried alongside barbara and their daughter robin who died of age three of lukemia. back to you. steve: thank thank you, william. all the public events are live on the fox news channel. brian: jim mcgrath, long time aide to president bush 41 for 25 years, he tweeted out 11,677 people took time out of their lives to pay respect to the former president in washington. how great is that? >> many more overnight down in houston. as you watch the coverage

yesterday, starting in our nation's capitol, in the actual rotunda, then the casket being brought down the stairs, being transported up pennsylvania and massachusetts avenue to the national cathedral. there at the national cathedral it was who's who. it was great to see both sides in bitterly divided washington, d.c., both sides of the political aisle were there to salute, particularly the front row, the life and times of george herbert walker bush, who was remembered for a long-time commitment for public service, leadership, devotion to friends, family, a bit of a joker from time to time. ainsley: look at that picture. you have the trumps, the obamas, the clintons, the nixons. those four surviving presidents as well as of course 43 who choked back some tears as he was remembering his father. watch this. >> we're going to miss you. your decency, sincerity and kind soul will stay with us forever.

so through our tears, let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you, a great and nobleman. the best father a son or daughter could have. and in our grief by this smile knowing that dad is hugging robin and holding mom's hand again. [applause] ainsley: i said nixon. i meant carter, president carter and his wife were sitting there at the end. brian: i said ideal is i cannily in the first hour, magical moments for the prison sir, maybe for me, not for them. for me to see all the presidents again was great. i can imagine, i know melania, president obama don't have much

friction, president obama was like running for office two months ago as oppose to being a former president and president trump is very critical of president obama. i get it. ainsley: melania said hello to the obamas. michelle's book came out, things were said. looked at hillary clinton and had her hands in her lap. acknowledged her, but didn't shake her hand. bush 43 went into the pew, said hi to all of them, couldn't get to the carters. he walked around. said hey to the bushes and carters. brian: brought everyone together. this is great moment for the trump family. bush family. tension, we know about it. i think they're both good putting it behind them. brian: trump does not hold on to grudges, marco rubio, rand paul, governor huckabee, marco rubio. ainsley: ted cruz. brian: ted cruz, that sort pa of the game. don't take it personal.

i sense at blair house, the white house, last few days, they really healed the rift. steve: we'll see. talk a little bit about politics. the senate and the house, the government is about to run out of money i think tomorrow. but looks as if they're going to pass a two-week spending bill to allow the government to keep running but then they will have to battle over whether or not the president gets more than $1.6 billion to build his wall. 1.6 is the number that the senate passed. the house passed five. essentially the white house would look for it to be a win if they get any money more than 1.6. what we heard from democrats yesterday, that probably ain't happening. ainsley: president says we need the wall. when we don't have the wall, they're having to close down ports of entry. we saw that happen at tijuana, where tijuana meets with san diego. we saw that at the end of november. november 25th, i believe. and where the border patrol agents had to use the tear gas

because you had migrants throwing things at the officer. yesterday at arizona they were bracing for another potential storming of border. they had major training sessions, just to act out all the necessary steps to secure the port of entry there. brian: just a quick thing on the wall which everybody agrees, i think they need if they put politics aside for a second, the pushback on senator schumer and nancy pelosi is from the left, not to give the president anything he wants, even if it helps the country. they go no wall. they can't answer follow-up question, why not? if you can't find five billion when you have all this money for other issues? >> steve: a lot of people in politics don't want the wall. what we got now is just fine. brian: fantastic. steve: there is a bit of a fence between tijuana and san diego. apparently over the last couple weeks there was a member of the caravan, a woman, eight months pregnant, she and others climbed over the wall.

she and the others were arrested on the american side. she was detained. and then had a baby. and now the baby, according to law, is an american citizen. we had michelle malkin on about half an hour ago, and she said, this is the law but if you don't like it, you got to change it. >> president trump has been right about this. he diagnosed automatic birthright citizenship as one of the biggest magnets, incentives to come here to break the law. you can build 50-foot, 100-foot walls all along 2,000 miles of the southern border but if you don't turn off these magnets, it is going to result in continued flow. we're going to see these caravans over and over and over again. unfortunately people in both parties don't want to address it. steve: the woman who gave birth on american soil was hoping to make it to the united states to be reunited with her family that

lives in columbus, ohio, she said giving birth on u.s. soil was a big reward for the very long journey. brian: that is how we got governor richardson. his mom took a train into america from mexico. we have a governor of new mexico. there you go. ainsley: that baby is an american citizen. that is the law. the mother was 19 years old, eight months pregnant, complained about abdominal pain, took her to the hospital. the baby was born. brian: talk about babies, carley shimkus from the country of new jersey. carley: i love that. you call me a baby because i'm getting up there in age in my opinion and you think i'm still young. brian: yes we do. carley: desperate search underway for five marines after warplanes collided off the coast of japan. two crewmembers rescued so far. one is in fair condition. the second marine is being evaluated at a hospital, fighter jet and refueling plane crashed during a routine training exercise like this one you see here. we'll bring you more information as it comes in.

detective dragged by a teenage gang member will never recover. those haunting words, coming from a prosecutor during the attempted murder trial of the teen who dragged nypd deck sieve two blocks in a stolen car last year. justin morrell's lawyer claims it wasn't intention. the detective's speech is limited and he has trouble recognizing his wife and 4-year-old daughter. tragic. the trump administration is expected to roll back obama era regulations on coal industry. the epa reportedly will announce plans to raise the limit for carbon emissions. under the new rule, plants could emit up to 1900-pounds of carbon dioxide. the move will make it easier to build new coal plants. tonight is the christmas tree lighting.

hillary clinton july 5th. comey hopped out said we found something on a laptop in new york on weiner's laptop. when you talk about a change up top, look at this, the latest was bill precept yesterday. comey is out. mccaib is out. lisa. mike cot cordon, josh campbell, greg bauer, steinbeck, gaclone. listen, some retired, the others were forced to quit. some were fired. this is unbelievable. >> fired, retired, resigned, left. the good news christopher wray gets to appoint a new fbi. we needed one. that is pretty obvious. what will happen here, mccain, comey contradicted themselves on significant testimony. and it has never been resolved who is lying who committed perjury. come on, no serious investigation is done of this mess. everyone has fled for the hills.

brian: comey is behind closed doors with congress. they have a agreement to release non, non-confidential material of the transcripts. what do you think comes of that? >> i don't think much comes because he knows that the republican congress has a short period of time and so he will just say classified, under investigation and he knows that the transcripts will be public. i think he will do that routine again. brian: how do you compare the louis freeh i need a computer fbi to the mueller-comey fbi? >> look, the mueller fbi and comey fbi they were clearly buds together here. this whole investigation comes from rosenstein and comey, working together to get mueller to investigate president trump and that's why there was corruption in this whole thing from the very beginning. brian: conspicuous by its absence how comey doesn't mention mueller at all in his bio. he doesn't want people to see the association. but we get it. >> they don't want the pictures coming up again, mark penn, thank you so much.

this is her attempt, ainsley to do so. but i think it is also just super far-left women. because your average, everyday, moderate woman or independent woman, who is trying to, you know, work also to keep a roof over your family's head. make sure, along with her husband, her spouse, there is food on the table, they're going to be concerned with identity politics in kirsten gillly brand's tweet. they are concerned how will i afford health care? how can i keep my job? how will i make sure my kids are healthy and taken care of? this is nonsense doesn't speak to everyday concern of the american voter. brian: lastly she took on bill clinton too, 25 years too late. according to clinton advisor, every 20 years ago she took the clinton's endorsement, the money and the seat. hypocrite. interesting strategy for 2020 primaries. best of luck. sarcasm obviously. that is a democrat talking about a democrat who they have to win

decision to recognize jerusalem, apart from something deeply appreciated by the pro-israel community, was a great statement of foreign policy i think it demonstrated that america stands with its allies. that america doesn't flinch from the pressures of other nations. >> when they go to the western wall guys, today, together, it will be the first time ever a u.s. official gone to the western wall with the sitting prime minister of israel. more history being made today. fox news channel will be there. but earlier today i had the opportunity to go with the prime minister up to northern israel. we flew in an id f helicopter to the north of israel, the golan heights, near the lebanon border where right now operation northern shield is going on. an id f military operation to find hezbollah tunnels. in fact one tunnel doug from lebanon to israel, 80 feet deep, 600 feet long, six feet wide, 100 feet into israel.

idf searching for more tunnels, fear, hezbollah backed by iran, seeking destruction of israel, seek into northern israel, take over a town, slaughter innocent civilians, capture them for ransom. on one day anniversary which i'm here to talk to the prime minister about the significance of jerusalem, you also have that sense israel still living under the threat every single day of, to its own existence. interesting day with the prime minister. you go behind the scenes, watch him operate. steve: pete, how did he seem? he was also, i was just looking online, he is in a bit of hot water over there politically and maybe with other things. he is facing four different charges, suspected of accepting gifts. the israeli police claim to have tape showing he negotiated to get better news coverage, things like that he goes on and on. is he in a lot of hot water over there? >> you know the press is talking a lot about it. he was asked about it today as well.

if you talk to his folks, they say because his opponents can't beat him at the ballot box, trying to beat him much like doing the president here through a witch-hunt. they say these are old charges not related to anything of significance. you're right, there is definitely a since of this military operation alongside that has his plate full. there is talk of potentially new elections here. if that were to happen, everyone you talk to almost acknowledges there is no strong opponent that would take on bibi netanyahu. his grip on power remains very strong. with investigations ongoing a lot does remain to be seen. brian: we'll see this on "fox nation," right, pete? >> see it on "fox nation." also tomorrow morning have extended portion for "fox & friends" of the interview with prime minister netanyahu and more from david freed man. we have a long form special project working on jerusalem. we'll ask the prime minister about that as well exclusively for "fox nation." ainsley: thank you, pete. if you don't have "fox nation," go get it.

foxnation.com. steve: i watch it all the time. ainsley: i do too. i was watching it. steve: newt gingrich, former house speak and author of, trump's nation. he joins us live. there he is in front of our nation's capitol. you know, newt, this has been a very emotional week down in washington remembering the life and times of george herbert walker bush as he is laid to rest later today. what are your observations about him? >> i think first of all he has genuine friends over a lifetime of activity. the bushes are only the second family in american history to have both a father and a son as president. the adams being the other. he, his sons have been governors of two states. if you look at it impact of president bush and his family has been truly historic. he also served the country for a very long time. youngest naval pilot in world war ii.

flew 58 combat missions as youngest pilot in the navy. and was in fact a at one point shot down. went right back up and kept flying. he went on to become a congressman. he went on to be head of the cia, ambassador, wasn't ambassador yet, to china. one of the people who opened up our relationship with china. ended up republican national committee chairman, vice president under reagan, then president. it's a remarkable life of public service and, almost everywhere people ended up liking him. then feeling that, this was a good man, he was a decent man. and that he really wanted to do the best he could for his country. he did so having a very loving and very strong family. ainsley: we're showing video of you, from 1991 with him. also 1992. standing behind him. any stories you want to share with us? >> i felt he was somebody you could talk to very directly.

i thought he was torn in his re-election campaign. he really loved being president. he particularly love being candidate. i remember going down for lunch in the spring, begging him to bring jim baker back. i thought president bush was so important to the country. frankly had he been reelected, spared the clintons, we would be a lot better off. he was so focused on all different things happening in foreign policy where he played such a major role getting the soviet union to collapse without a war and make the transition into the modern period. i think he found it very hard to sort of go back to be a candidate again. that wasn't something he particularly liked doing. brian: i don't know how you feel about it, michael goodwin writes essentially all these great qualities are out there but the press never gave him a fair shake in between. they basically republicans when they're dead. >> there is no question about it. the liberal media despised

ronald reagan until he had passed away. at which point they found many wonderful things. they attacked president george h.w. bush relentlessly. they hated his 1988 winning campaign when they thought dukakis should win. now of course, they're praising him. let's not kid ourselves, 30% of the great affection we're seeing in the washington establishment is in contrast with president trump. people who see this as occasion, oh, those were the good ol' days. the truth is this is different era doing different things. i thought that the trumps and bushes got along very well this week. and that it was a very nice coming together of people who had tension but, at this moment, for the passing of the president, found a way to make the event and the president bigger than their personal attitudes. brian: i read jon meacham's book, newt gingrich tried to convince the president not to raise taxes, it would hurt

re-election chances. you were the canary in the coal mine. >> i think had he said no to the democrats, gone to the country, if you vote democrat in the fall campaign i will sign a tax bill. if you vote republican i will continue to say no to new taxes. i think the democrats would have caved in 24 hours. that is not, middle of the iraq campaign. that is not a fight they wanted to have with the president. his advisors were pro-tax increase guys. they didn't want him to take that kind of a bold position. steve: all right. not only teaches history, he was part of it, newt gingrich, thank you very much for joining us live. brian: trump's america is now out. president trump's steel tariffs paying off for american workers. we're live at a factory where business is booming. that's next. ainsley: we love this moment when "fox & friends" was a clue on "jeopardy" this week. >> with steve, ainsley and brian, fox blank blank? dave? >> what is, and friends?

ainsley: the reigning champ earned $81,000 since monday, since that episode. brian: joining as you retired police officer who might be a viewer, army veteran, "jeopardy" contestant dave leffler. dave, how concerned were you when you picked that category that you would not have answers to the questions because you're purely a fox viewer, aren't you? >> we don't actually watch a lot of television, especially during the day time. but, i was, this show is show famous i was familiar with it. so that wasn't a problem. steve: you're not -- you and your wife really don't watch a lot of television but just people talk about "fox & friends," it just stuck in there, right? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. it was right on the tip of my tongue, that is why i rang in with the signaling device. ainsley: i'm anchor of the show, one of the anchors of the show, would have messed it up, i would have said "fox & friends." the answer was partially our names, just and friends.

steve: fox, blank, blank. ainsley: you had to say, and friends what is like being on the show you have to put it in the form of a question, which would make me nervous? >> i would practice. i seen people on the show falter or stumble. when i watch the show at home, i would sit there, phrase answers in the form of a question. the signaling device is very important. because one of the things one realizes is, when you get there, most of the people around you know most of the answers most of the time. signaling in first is very important. brian: one much our contestants next to you i'm friends with, she knows the show. you still beat her to the question. >> on another show somebody beat me in a category, to mirandize the suspect was the answer. alex trebek even tweaked me a little bit, about getting beat on that one. steve: explain, so many people watch your, that show,

"jeopardy" they think it is kind of complicated but i would like to get on it? could you explain the process. i know you and your wife played along for years. at what point that you would take the test, tell us where the test is, where that led? >> my wife as absolutely behind it. she pushed me to take the test, look up the process. they actually make it, they make it very easy to apply. you go to their website, which i believe is just jeopardy.com. they have different categories. they walk you through the process of registering for the online test. you pick an audition city, if you qualify on the online test. it was philadelphia for us. and then, if you do well enough they give you an in person audition. if that goes well, they send you a taping date. and that is actually what happened for us. we went to los angeles the day before halloween an taped my shows. ainsley: what will you do with the money that you win? >> we've talked about maybe taking and a alaska cruise.

that is something in the back of our minds for a while. my wife has a classic car i have the time, now finally money to restore. those are two things. we'll think about it some more. steve: dave, let me ask you a exit question. do this in the form of a question, like you would be on "jeopardy," what is your favorite morning show? >> what is, "fox & friends" if i watch morning television. ainsley: very good, dave. thank you for giving back to veterans. thank you for serving our country. thanks for coming on today. >> may i quickly mention working warrior foundation the charity i volunteer for? my wife is very involved in. their mission statement is, empowering veterans to succeed while helping businesses to thrive. matching veterans to employers. ainsley: put a link on our website. thank you so much. you're smart and charitable. we appreciate it. >> you're very kind.
