sleeves rolled up, nancy pelosi is in hawaii, chuck schumer scattered somewhere and he wants to deal and there's no one to deal. >> he knows that if he went to mar-a-lago he would be skewered by the press. and nancy pelosi is in hawaii. this tweet, he says i'm in the white house waiting for the democrat to come on over and make a deal on border security. from what i hear they're spending so much time on presidential harassment that they have little time left for stopping crime and our military. >> keep watching the show. we might as well fast forward that number to 13. it is not until january 3rd that congress comes into session. we'll have a shutdown until the 13th at the very least. that's when the democrats think they get their leverage. the reports are that the president plans to stay at the white house with no public events. tweeting will do the talking for

their positions. you understand that. but someone else posited the idea why not call a meeting in the roosevelt room, when they don't show up, put up a couple of cardboard cutouts up of chuck and nancy saying i want to debate. they don't. there's news that reinforces that but no one to negotiate. >> it's not just the government shutdown. it's that several important things have happened. the most important being police officer singh being murdered and it being the embodiment of this issue at the border. and in my , i look at nancy pelosi in hawaii and i think with every tan line, with every mai tai, she's telling the american people exactly what she thinks. she's telling you that he doesn't think border security matters, that she doesn't care about the sanctuary city

policies in her state that caused this. here's pam bondi, attorney general from florida and this is what she has to say about securing the border. she disagrees with that opinion. >> this should be such a bipartisan issue. because i've seen first hand the drugs that have come into my state, into florida from mexico. i've seen the assault rifles. we've seen the gangs. i've been to mexico dealing, helping the good attorneys general from mexico, training them on how to protect their country and work well with our country. so securing our borders is paramount for our homeland safety. and of course helping great immigrants come to this country but in a legal way. >> i think it boiled down to a message that i saw a lot of republicans pushing every day. nancy pelosi wants to drag it out as pete said to january 3rd so she can look

like the hero. democrats comes to powerballer. she hopes se see cures th she se to be speaker. but if she secures the deal now, it hurts her with the base. the message the republicans are pushing is she's more serious about securing votes to be speaker than securing the border. and that's the message we're going to hit. >> and the question is it a miscalculation. is her being in hawaii also -- i think it looks bad. will it actually show how out of touch she is with her own members. could it put her speakership in jejeopardy. could somebody like tim ryan come in. >> tim ryan has five votes. it's going to be her. she is go to hawaii all she wants. the problem is the american people feel disconnected from that vigil. but a lot of people seem more

disconnected than they should from a sphorry we've covered, the murder of officer singh. murdered by an illegal gang member twice convicted of duis. this is california. a sanctuary state. a lot of representatives. and we noticed here at "fox & friends" that not a lot of california members have been commenting at all. especially democrats. we reached out here at this program to congressional democrats in california. >> 31 of them. >> we reached out to 4 is of 41. ten were unavailable. those are the ten right there. eric swalwell will always answer immediate requests but on this one he won't. these are the other ones who didn't respond. >> there is one congressman who did tweet about this and that is congressman mccarthy. >> yeah, a republican. but the democrats have nothing say.

they're going silent. >> it doesn't fit their narrative. if they come on and talk about a legal immigrant police officer being murdered allegedly by an illegal immigrant, it doesn't fit the nais narrative that thes a problem at the border that maybe a wall will help. but number two, sanctuary policies, that is what led to, we're told by one of the sheriffs on the ground in california, that's what led to corporal singh being killed. there were two prior arrests of this illegal immigrant and they weren't able to give i.c.e. a heads up. >> there are a couple of democrat congressmen who tweeted about it but none of them wanted to come on the show. >> in this case there's such a direct policy link that they don't want too talk about it but it's easy to talk about guns and other things. let's do this but it had nothing to to with what happened in that

particular case. if we can rewind the prompter back a bit. on facebook we talk about censorship. reportedly they've suspended the account of a deputy sheriff in this county who called for corporal singh's -- he called his killer an illegal immigrant. >> this is officer singh. he was killed by an illegal alien five hours after he took this photo with his beautiful wife, baby and k9. this is why we need to build the wall. rest in peace, hero. facebook wrote back this goes against owrp communit our commus on hate speech so no one else can see it. what was in the original source, they're quoting law enforcement as saying an illegal alien killed officer singh.

huge show today. >> randy obviously is a sheriff out in newman, california. where officer singh lived and tragically died christmas night pulling over what turned out to be an illegal immigrant on an dui stop. should have been a routine stop christmas nights hours after he posed for the photo that we've been showing with his widow and 5-month-old son. this is a story that's captivated a lot of people because it's put front and center the issue the president has been talking about since the campaign. cracking down on illegal immigration. a lot of democrats want to dismiss it saying it's not an issue and you see a tragedy like this and it grabs you like the lapel. >> the president is willing to make a deal, doesn't have one yet but he's tweeting. you talk about a tragedy. there was the tragic death of two migrant children on the border which no one wants. everyone is willing to talk about. obviously they were in bad shape when they went into custody but

you still do everything you can. the president took that head on talking about the deaths of those children and why a wall could have prevented this. any deaths of children or others at the border are strictly the fault of the democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter the country illegally. they can't. if we had a wall, they wouldn't try. the two children in question were very sick before they were given over to border patrol. the father of the young girl said it was not the border patrol's fault. he hadn't given her water in days. border patrol needs the wall and it will end. they are working so hard and getting so little credit. i mean the president feels he's got to emphasize that those in the so-called mainstream media never talk about, which is border patrol agents didn't kill these migrant children. >> of course not. >> neither did the democrats by the way fnlt they created policies that incentivize

illegal immigration. the policies are dumb. >> the point is. >> their policies. different than people. >> the point is we want to have compassionate policies. sit compassionate to have policies that incentivize people to bring children as a free pass to get in because it's easier. in fact in you're a smuggler, they're actually giving the immigrants that are coming over a lower price to bring them over if they bring a child with them because they're more likely to get over the border and help others get to stay in the country as well. so children are definitely being used as pawns in this and they're dying. and by the way, it's not just dying. 30% of girls are sexually assaulted, 20% of boys. this is a dangerous journey. >> where the president is right in that tweet is about 95% of it where he's pointing out there's an incentive to come across the border because people think they can get here illegally, they'll

be helped if they have children, maybe more likely to get through on various grounds. and to back up president trump, you had then president obama years ago when the central american migration started with caravan as few years back said you have to stop bringing your children. this is not the way to do it. president obama said it then. >> but his policies actually encouraged them to come over. >> this president doesn't need to take the extra step of saying the kids who died, it's the democrats' fault. how do you get the democrat to the table to negotiate when you accuse them of being to blame. >> there and an op-ed in the new york post, the title is "building the wall will prevent more tragedies at the border." here's what michael goodwin argues. he says walls after all are not just barriers. they're deter rants that would dissuade them from attempting to

reach the u.s. this exposed the hollow core of the dems existence that they support border security while opposing a wall. trump sees mora morality as putg americans first and pelosi sees morality as offering a better welcome wagon for those coming here illegally. >> well said. >> build a wall, that's moral. nancy pelosi says no borders are immoral. expensive and ineffective. well the murder of a california police officer is actually reigniting this conversation in a way that the democrats didn't predict when this shutdown started. here is sheriff adam christianson. she said the copp's death could have been prevented. take a look. >> law enforcement was prohibited because of sanctuary laws and that led to the

encounter with officer singh. i'm suggesting that the outcome could have been different if law enforcement wasn't restricted, prohibited or had their hands tied because of political interference. >> and now if former state senator, the guy who wrote the sanctuary legislation, he responded to what the sheriff said. >> it was a radio intre intervi. he said the type of tone that the sheriff has taken instills fear and panic in all immigrants communities. so he's not taking responsibility for the sanctuary city laws, that a law enforcement official is saying helped need basically to corporal singh's death. come on. take responsibility. >> it's frustrating that he thinks he can speak for illegal communities. illegals here in the country. but even if he does that, why

would he think it would be in the interest of -- if people who are here illegally but working to have criminals in their community. it's wroj all the way around. it's not fair to the police officers, it's not fair to the citizens of this country. it's actually a bad deal for illegals who are getting conflated with a lot of the gan. >> what about the fear and the panic and the life-altering reality. most especially a number one if you're putting america first, citizens who came here lawfully and are here lawfully. the laws are here for them first. >> they don't care about us. they don't care that their policies and their laws are killing people. and maybe if it happens to them it will stop the killing. i've done what i've been doing -- i can't bring my son back. what i've hoped all along is

that my son's death would save other lives. but it doesn't. it only -- they don't care. so it's time for them to experience the same thing. >> he is a lifelong democrat by the way, pete. >> he's pointing out democrats build walls around their houses. they don't invite syrian refugees into their homes. but they want to bring illegals into your communities, make your state a sanctuary state. you can't have a wall around your country. we like our comfy world but your world, you live with the fear of drugs and sex trafficking and crimes and gangs and you put cops in a place where they arrest someone, they should be referred, they never are. it's an impossible double standard. >> we want to stick with the facts not just going back and forth on the rhetoric that politicians talk about. let's go to law enforcement open get their perspective. that's what we're going to do later in the program, 9:30. the police chief out there has been very emotional.

you've seen him at the news conferences talking about losing one of his own. he's going to talk about the toll on the family and how they're doing and also talk about the sanctuary policies. another story that's been barn storming the internet and caught our eye. there was a vape store. an employee there caught on camera screaming at a customer because he was wearing make america great again hat and shirt. watch this video. >> i just want to purchase something. >> [bleep] you. [bleep]. [bleep]. i don't give a [bleep] get out. he's a racist stupid [bleep]. >> it's your job, your freedom. >> help your customer! [bleep]. [bleep]. >> talk about being triggere tr. a mangos into a vape store, a 7

lech7-eleven, a restaurant, you trigger the guy behind the counter and they won't serve you, won't sell you something and they decide to unleash a tirade. >> called him a racist. the customer said i'm not a racist. i want lower taxes. this was unhinged and crazy. >> this guy goes into the store, gets denied service and comes back in with a phone saying why did you deny me service. this guy goes off. >> this was in tucker, georgia. >> and this store has put out a statement about this employee saying, we do not tolerate this kind of behavior from our employees. when we identified the employee at fault, we fired the employee immediately. we've also spoken to the customer and apologized. we value our clients. we treat them with respect and dignity regardless of their political base. >> at least get some credit for

stepping up, taking responsibility saying this is not how you treat your customers. because you support donald trump you should not be denied service. it's ridiculous, absurd. and to face that kind of tirade. >> by the way, he gave the guy a chance to recover. just sell me the vape product or whatever it was and i'll just go away. >> strawberry vape for my wife. >> yeah. so yeah it was crazy. we had to play it. >> there's a reason why people worry whether they should wear a maga hat around. >> i tell me kids don't wear it at the airport. >> if you're prepared to defend yourself, you should wear it. we have to live in a world that you don't get shamed to have a political statement. that's fair as a mother. but as regular citizens shouldn't cower from that. meanwhile, he killed officer daniel faulkner more than 30 years ago but now he could get a

second chance at freedom really. officer faulkner's wife marine is hermaureenis here to react. just a head. a majority of veterans and service members giving high mark to president trump. retired marine joe jones is here to tell us why coming up. >>the team? gooo team.... know what's better than overnight shipping? free one hour pickup

a new poll by the associated press shows 56% of current and former service members approve of the job president trump is doing as president. who better to weigh in on this than retired marine corp bomb technician joey jones. break down the number for us. a strong approval rating amongst vets for this president. why? >> yeah. i think first and foremost we have to recognize this poll happened before the syria decision and before james mattis left the pentagon. that's important to note. i think it's important that belook at the fact that veterans and active service members are lumped together in this poll. 4,000. but it doesn't discern how much of each. and today the issues that affect the veteran community and the active duty community, i think those groups are different these

days. but overall the republican president, especially one that makes promises and keeps one is going to do well. we look at south america, the middle east, even parts of asia. we look at places where we're deployed and we see how the rest of the world lives and when we come back we have a renewed respect for what this country is and more importantly what it takes to keep it this way. the republican presidents usually make better decisions on foreign policy as far as the service member is concerned and we're going to respect that and keep that in mind when we go to the polls >> that's another portion of the poll that we're put on the screen. 59% say he's a strong leader, 48% saying he has the right temperament. the president always criticized for temp arement and leadership. but the veterans see through that and see something different. >> you look at this issue between president trump and james mattis. before i see the differences i

see similarities. they're both populous in their own way, a subgroup of americans that believe in everything they say and do because of the way they conduct business and the way they stay true to their word when it comes to policy decisions and things like that. it's going to be interesting to see and my opinion that president trump is going to have to earn this approval rating back with james mattis gone from the pet gone. pentagon. president trump has gone a long way with va accountability and veterans choice. but those two things sound better than they are effective. i know president trump knows that. veterans choice is a band aid fix to, an expensive fix. and the va accountability act removes the bad but doesn't offer a solution. i hope president trump takes the next two years to continue to fix it. >> there's no doubt that the administration of veteran's choice is an ongoing thing and nowhere where it should be but a lot of steps that would not have happened if there was a democrat in the oval office.

>> absolutely. and veterans see that. >> a key number here, 52% approve of president trump's handling of border security, a big national conversation we're having right now, a showdown on nine days in to a shutdown. does that number surprise you and what does it say about how this will play out? >> no, not at all. i think veterans among all americans understand the need for diversity in this country. and hard work comes from a lot of places. i come from a town that's 75% hispanic in the city limits. but first and foremost is to see secure this country. the idea that living in the shadows is no way to live at all. republicans have said for decades now, secure the border and we'll provide a path to citizenship. and for democrats not to take republicans up on that offer shows just how partisan of an issue this is. the fact we're not getting

$5 billion to. fund the wall shows you it's all politics and not policy and that's unfortunate. >> we have to leigh i leaf leav. is there one issue that democrats could seize on in 2020 that would be effective with vets? >> i think looking at the va not as a model for government funded health care but a place, a voucher program, open it up to the open market could be a big win for the veterans. >> you're totally right but knowing that space really well, it ain't happening. thank you for your insight. appreciate it and your service to our country. well, he killed officer daniel faulkner more than 30 years ago. but now mumia abu-jamal might get a second chance? officer faulkner's wife maureen here to react in an exclusive interview live coming up next. once i started looking for it was a no-brainer.

♪ there's no place like home ♪

argh! i'm trying... ♪ yippiekiyay. ♪ mom. ♪ a convicted cop killer serving life without parole may actually get a second chance at free doll. you heard that right. this week a philadelphia judge ruling mumia abu-jamal can appeal his case again. this is case going back to the

'80s. he was convicted of murdering philadelphia police officer daniel faulkner 37 years ago. jamal is currently serving a life sentence. that was downgraded from death row in 201 is. joining me now for her very first interview since her husband's killer was granted these new appeal rights is maureen faulkner. good morning. good to have you in. thank you for joining us. maureen, can you tell me what your reaction is to what the judge said? >> well, i'm absolutely outraged. my family, the faulkner family and i, i live out in california and they live in philadelphia and we have been back and forth to court in the past year about seven times in this case waiting to hear a final judgment on what leon tucker was going to make. and of course he makes it two days after christmas. it always seems like this case is around the holidays.

he has no mer merit on this judgment. i mean it's just -- it was da castle in 1989 with the district attorney's office. he had nothing to say about mumia abu m-jamal. i don't know how leon tucker made the decision. >> here's what the judge is saying. the claim of bias, presumption and refusal of justice castill to recuse himself is worthy of conversation as true justice must be completely just without a hint of partiality. where is the judge coming up with this to suggest there might be presumptio prejudice when thf the case are clear? >> i don't know where he's coming up with it. this is going to open the door for so many murderers to be able to do this and appeal this, a

situation like this. i'm hoping that larry will appeal it andly know in the next several days >> so we will obviously be staying on top of that. first of all, i don't want to forget what happened to your husband. i don't want you to have to relive it but i want our viewers ouviewersto understand. your husband is on the job and pulls over jamal's brother for what should have been a routine traffic stop. >> that's correct. and my husband asked the brother to get out of the car, he got out of the car and punched danny in the face. danny swung him around and started to frisk him when mumia abu-jamal was sitting in a taxicab across the street, ran over, shot my husband in the back, my husband turned and shot him in the chest, fell to the ground and lost his gun. that's when abu-jamal leaned over and emptied his gun into my

husband. my husband, the bullets hit jacket and then he leaned down and shot him between the eyes. he executed my husband and i'm never going to let this go. i'm never going to let this go. i will continue to speak out. not just for myself but for all survivors that go through this. >> absolutely. >> this is a progressive moment that is going on in this country. i don't know what's happening. >> where you're saying judges like this are trying to say maybe we should relook at it. maybe there was bias or prejudice. >> all over the country. >> when your husband was shot in cold blood. >> yes, all over the country they're reducing sentencing on murderers. they're allowing them out of prison and it's wrong. so wrong. >> i got to ask you one other thing which has been going through my mind as i was preparing if for interview. as you described the routine traffic shot, same thing happened christmas night with

officer singh, very similar in newman, california, an illegal immigrant comes in and kills him on a routine stop. and there are some democrats who are not speaking out about it. >> i know. it's so -- people think it's so not politically correct to talk about illegal immigrants. well, guess what. you let them into our country, they're not documented, pen there ithenthere is going to be. there's going to be murders. there's going to be sex trafficking, robberies and everything else. i truly believe that. if you want to come into the united states, i have no problem. just do it in a legal way and a proper way and pay taxes. >> very well said. maureen, we certainly salute you, your courage and bravery in speaking out. i understand how you laid it out a minute ago you don't want anyone to forget what happened. and we'll stay on top of this as we see this potential appeal coming up. is there a final thought you have?

>> women well, my final thoughti want one word to judge leon tucker. i hope you can sleep at night with the decision you made because you know it was not the right one. >> maureen faulkner, appreciate you coming in. i know it's got to be difficult over the holidays. you mentioned this decision comes in right around christmas but we hope you have a happy new year and this comes out the way you want it to in 2019. good luck to you. >> thank you. >> thank you for coming in. are they waging a religious test against catholics? this is something we're talking about this morning. two democratic senators are challenging a judicial nominee from the president because the nominee belongs to a catholic organization. mike huckabee is direct and blunt about this one. he says it's bigotry plain and simple. he's live next. democrats adding something new to their wish list for 2019. tech help. they have a little trouble with the computers.

>> you are a deprived man. >> not the first person to say that, governor. shutdown day nine. where are we on the standoff between the president and the democrats over the wall? >> well i don't think the democrats want to come to the table. they're not interested in opening the government back up because for them this is all about posturing. it's about politics, about nancy pelosi maintaining the position to be the speaker. and the sad thing is we could have resolved not only the border issue but daca and a lot of things if they had simply done what they said on many occasions they wanted. but when they actually were offered it, they decided they didn't want it after all because it did not satisfy their political interest, even though it satisfied a resolve of a real crisis that we have going. i hope the president stands his ground. i think the person people at some point are going to open their eyes, even the crazy ones, and they're going to realize that the democrats aren't interested in solving this

problem. they're interested in prolonging the problem. anything they can do to try to make the president look bad they will. but increasingly there are enough americans with double digit iq who can understand what the democrats are doing. >> is the president doing enough? he's tweeting. should he be doing more to get the message out. he's there, they're in hawaii and bermuda, all of these other places. should he be doing more? >> if my advice to the president were going to get to would be do a nationally televised address in prime time. lay out the situation. just lay it out. and remind people that we have legal immigrant police officers being murdered in cold blood because we don't close the border. remind them of what your last guest just talked about and that this is not about racism, this is not about trying to keep people out of the country. we welcome immigrants because immigrants made america a truly magnificent place on earth. but this is about doing the same

thing nancy pelosi does every night in her home. she locks her door. i guarantee you. it's not wide open. people don't climb her wall that she has at her house and walk in and make themselves a sandwich. they just don't. and i guarantee you she's surrounded by armed guards wherever she goes. and the president needs to lay out the hypocrisy here. >> there are democrats like hakeem jeffries who don't want to make a deal with the president. watch. >> we are not going to allow the american people to be held hostage to a $5 billion or somewhere south of that ransom note nobody to build a wall that's not going to make anyone safe. >> ransom note, ridiculous border wall. >> the same democrats who supported $50 billion earlier for border security and the same democrats who didn't say a word when barack obama loaded pallets

of american gren dollars and dumped it off into the murderous terrorist regime of iran. i don't understand how any american can hear the democrats and believe they have any kred ubilitcredibility on this issue. >> we're seeing mazie hirono and kamala harris are waging war saying certain judgeships are not qualified because they're members of the knights of columbus. what do you make of this? >> well it's bigotry. it's blatant bigotry on the part of the senators. the knights of columbus are a terrific organization that do an enormous amount of charity. they've given a billion and a half in charitable organizations. i've marched side by side with them in the march for life every year in my home state of arkansas. they're great guys.

to somehow smear them and besmirch their activities, i'd like to ask them senators how come they support an organization like planned parenthood that was founded by a racist who believed and said that we should get rid of people of color because they were an inferior race. i would like to have them explain how they can defend their support of an organization whose roots are in that blatant level of racism. >> how much of this do you think has to do with the fact that this organization is openly pro-life? >> actively. >> it should be. it's a catholic organization. it's kind of like saying is the pope catholic? duds h?does he play? i can't believe this. of course they're pro-life. what kind of catholic organization -- what kind of christian organization -- what kind of evangelical would i believe if i didn't believe that every life has worth and value,

that every life is precious and there's no such thing as a child who is expendable or disposable. people are not disposable and expendable. they're priceless. and for us to believe that we can chop them up into pieces because it's an inconvenience to someone, i find that appalling. it's really to me uncivilized for us to ever believe that god could bless a culture and a civilization that thinks that the dismembering of unborn children is not only okay but that it's somehow the holy grail of politics. god held 7 us whe help us when . >> we're there. >> when john f. kennedy talked about how he wasn't going to take orders from the pope when he was elected as president in 1960, that attacks against the religion were gone. that was many many year's ago. a lighter story that caught our eye, politico headline saying on democrats' wish list as they take back the house, tech help for a clueless congress.

joins us now. you now live in texas. tell us what made you want to move. >> well, certainly the handwriting was on the wall. taxes keep going up in california. the regulations keep getting worse and the business climate keeps getting more and more difficult. you see a lot of people with capital leaving california, moving to places like texas where they can make more money and frankly have more time with their families because there's a lot less red tape. >> according to the census, here are a few of the states growing in their population, 14% texas, florida, nevada, washington, california we'll explain why in california. break that down, those growth numbers, not universally low tax states per se but why are they growing? >> first of all of the highest growth rate states, most of them are states that feature no income tax at all. no individual income tax. the other thing that's interesting is that when you have states with high taxes,

they generally have a fairly large state workforce. and a lot of those guys, a lot of those women are regulators. they're people that run the red tape. that's what the taxes pay for. and so it isn't just the high taxes. it's the regulations. now the other thing that's happened in the last 11 months you see increase in growth in the states with low taxes. and i think a lot of this is because of the big tax cuts signed into law about a year ago by president trump. now, a big part of that tax cut was a limitation on the state local tax deduction that individual filers have. it limits it to 10,000 dollars per household. now what this has done is it has reduced the federal subsidy for high tax states like california and new york. and so as a result you're seeing, in the states that tax less, you're seeing private sector job growth is now 71%

faster than in the high tax states. since that new tax law was signed into effect a year ago. >> you're now in texas. i have a lot of friends in texas and they're seeing the move frf californians to texas but they also are concerned that while they like -- the people from california like the low taxes in texas they're also bringing with them a lot of progressive ideas and they're changing the state. do you get a sense about that being a dynamic or something that's talked about in texas? >> well it certainly is talked about. but i have to kind of comfort and give some solace to my new texas friends. there's been a few interesting polls that have been done. one of california expads. and it was done by the texas tribune and ut austin. and it showed by 57% to 27% that the californians moving to texas are conservative versus liberal. that may not be the case in austin which is more of a tech center. but it certainly is more so

around the state. another one by -- there was an exit poll of the recent senate rate with o'rourke and senator ted cruz and it showed that people who moved to texas were much more likely to vote for senator cruz's reelection than people who were native to texas. >> and ted cruz ended up beating robert francis? that election. chuck thank you so much. appreciate it. thank you. coming up, facebook suspending an account after one post called that suspected killer in california an illegal alien, which is true. is there anything wrong with that? the social media giant's response coming up this morning. plus, welcome to college. you're up. one university is now paying students to take a so-called gap year before starting school. we'll talk about whether that's a good idea or not. saying this undermines the work ethic and he joins us next. ♪ ♪

welcome back. welcome to college. and now take a year off. duke university is now paying admitted students to take a gap year before starting school. and it's becoming a growing trend. >> we sure want to know about it

because i have a son going to college in the fall. you can see him there in the left at the university of miami with me. rachel has a daughter who is currently a freshman in college. >> let's ask the pit bull of personal development. so what are you thoughts? first of all, i never heard about a gap year until the obama oldest daughter took a gap year. i thought it was something rich kids did. but now duke university got some sort of philanthropic donation to make it available to middle class and poor college students. what do you make of this? >> well, in the past it has been something only for rich kids. i find it really kind of amazing. to me it's one more participation trophy in that we're paying kids for nothing. and it's -- their wording i find particularly interesting. they said it's compensation for the intense four years these kids went through in high school.

first of all, i understand that high school can be tough on some kids. but the reward is college. the reward is not college and then we pay you up to 15,000 dollars and in their words to reflect, to mature to grow and to develop. come on, you're 18. >> i hear your point but might they argue that if part of that, the kid travels abroad or goes and does a service project, gives back to a community, that could be good for the child's development. >> it could be. but still it's getting paid for something you didn't exactly earn. and i think that's where it undermines our core value of a work ethic in our culture. our culture is built on the fact that when you work you get paid. it's the way i was raised, the way you all were raised. you don't get paid for just staying home or going on a sabbatical to do some wonderful philanthropic thing. that's not how it works. we get paid to work. >> you say that the gap year is

really the gap month, the three months between graduation and when school starts, right? >> yeah, it's called summer. when the rest of us reflect and grow and develop. >> and then get back to work. >> but let me ask you this. is there a danger in the gap years. it's probably not for everybody. is it possible you could get 15,000 dollars to go on this wonderful experience and then you go, i don't want to go to school anymore. you lose the drive while you're doing that. >> wouldn't surprise me if they lost the drive because we're teaching them that there's a way to get paid without putting in the effort. and i rea really see that as the biggest problem. you're paid for doing something you enjoy instead of what your job is. believe me, college is your job. from the time you're going thers your job. at some point going to school ask a job for your kid. that's what we need to keech tem thm anthem. and in my opinion the reward for

going to school is the fact that you got into college. >> thank you, larry. happy new year. send us your thoughts on the gap year at friends at fox news. com. still ahead, rudy giuliani, anthony scaramucci and tom hall montholman all here live. >> come on nancy, will democrats make a deal for the wall. an update on the government shutdown, day nine. next. ♪ ♪ g about polident is the fact that it's very, very tough on bacteria,

frankly? the president who has stayed back at the white house, did not go to palm beach and avoided the headlines that would've been inevitable in the mainstream media, that president is vacationing. meanwhile, you have nancy pelosi in hawaii and maxine water i believe is in bermuda. the president is at the white house saying i'm ready to make a deal. pete: heat we did this recently seen: i'm in the white house waiting for the dems to come over and make a deal on border security. from what i hear they are spending so much time on presidential harassment that they had little time left for like stopping crime and our military, so no updates at this moment on the back-and-forth per se. are their dollar amounts being discussed? so for the president has made threats like i will shut the entire border down. i want my wall funded.

he's blaming democrats for the crime coming to the country, but we don't know what the stakes are of the next iteration. rachel: we had been talking about shutdowns. they are messaging wars essentially innate and when one side wins and the other side loses and the president is tweeting: nancy blows he is in hawaii and the more the president tweets and reminds people where the democrats are, you know, then i think this may be a miscalculation essentially on the part of nancy pelosi. the only reason she went to hawaii is because she thinks doing nothing until she becomes a speaker is the right call. mike huckabee, we just had him on and he said it's all about politics for the democrats. listen up. >> i don't think the democrats want to come to the table. they aren't interested in opening the government back up its about politics, it's about nancy pelosi maintaining the position to be the speaker and the sad thing is we could have resolved not only the border issue,

but daca and a lot of things if they had simply done what they said and on many occasions they wanted, but when they were offered it they decided they didn't want to doctoral. ed: you mentioned that these become mensch-- messaging wars and i have heard what might be a winning message is low, nancy pelosi doesn't want a deal because she's more adjusted in securing the votes to be speaker in january than in securing the border. pete: to me, watch them were from the outside it feels more like a convenient talking point for the next five days. she is trying to get votes to be speaker. she has the gavel. she will win at which point she think she has a better bargaining chip against the president. we don't know whose calculation will play out better. mike huckabee suggested a national primetime address. i think you should go to the roosevelt room with a cutout of nancy and chuck and debate the two of them, but also focus on the issues of the day when you talk about the killing of a police officer in california

that totally highlights the need for more security. ed: we will talk to the sheriff shortly and the former acting director of ice foxnews fox news contributor live 9:15 a.m. eastern time weighing in on these big subjects. rachel: something else the democrats should think about weighing in and have not in any great number yet is the death of officer ronil singh by an illegal immigrant. almost all of the congressmen and women in california have tweeted about the unfortunate and tragic death of the children who died crossing the border under-- very few have tweeted or made comments on this officer in the policy. ed: in their home state of california. rachel: because of the policies of our state-- their state. pete: we reach out to all of the democratic members of the california delegation. these 10 congressman from california that were just on the screen declined to come on for an interview. ed: said they were unavailable.

pete: these 31-- the 10 said unavailable in the 31 would not even respond to our request and simply come on the program and respond to this terrible tragedy. frankly, an earnest question i would ask is besides the rhetoric, what are the policies you pursue that would prevent something like this from happening in the future? we've had that conversation time and time again after a school shooting and rightfully so when both sides use talking points. in this case, if you believe it's a tragedy which everyone does, what would you do? rachel: i have been here for the last few days and had debates with democrats about the wall and they all say they just don't think it's going to work and yet we have had border patrol officer after border patrol officer on this show, people on the ground doing the job saying please give us a wall we know this will work. pete: overwhelming evidence that it physical barrier and while is always helpful if you want to

prevent the flow of something. ed: the death of officer ronil singh has affected a lot of people around the world. it's not happening in a vacuum. there's a political debate going on about cracking down on illegal immigration and also a human story about an officer killed on christmas night leaving behind a widow and a five-month old son and a touch the hearts of a lot of people including a woman in new york who goes on facebook and said i want to speak out about this and she posted this december 28. this is officer ronil singh, simple photos. he was killed by an illegal alien five hours after he took this photo with his beautiful wife, baby and canine and this is why we need to build the water-- while. rest in peace, hero. they took this down and said he didn't meet their standards at facebook. rachel: because of the word illegal. pete: absurd. they spoke wrote this post goes against our community standards on hate speech, so no one else can see it. she got that notice.

apparently, using the technical term illegal alien is hate speech. ed: eight term check schumer used a few years ago. pete: facebook, thankfully this lady elevated this. cleanup on aisle for. facebook admitted on her page that it looked like we made a mistake and removed something you posted on facebook that didn't go against our community standards. we want to apologize and let you know we were storage or content and removed any blocks on your account related to this incorrect action, but it raises eyebrows. rachel: absolutely. officer ronil singh is not the only hero of 2018, but indeed one in our hearts right now. we also have other heroes we want to talk about in a 2018, former time a vcl who died during a rescue effort for the boys trapped in the cave. ed: that was a story we were all over.

assistant coach at marjorie stoneman douglas in florida also shielded students from gunfire with the horrific tragedy. there is his photo there. i believe he was an assistant football coach pete: he was. he went to the school, he was just-- therein charged towards the gunfire. it's important at the end of the year to reflect on some of these stories that i have long since run about including this one, the next one is sergeant ron shoeless who ran into gunfire at the borderline bar and grill shooting. ed: in california. pete: again, not trained or necessarily their and prepared for, but charged nonetheless. ed: another hero we should reflect on. rachel: james shaw junior disarmed a gunman in a waffle house, amazing story. citizen doing what he could to save others in that restaurant. god knows how many he saved. ed: he is a hero, so we went to reflect on the heroes of 2018.

we wonder who else do you think should be on the list. we have a lot of big guests and we will reflect on some heroes of 2018. who do you think should be on the list? pete: small portion of the list. the list goes on and on your quiver limited amount of time so we chose five, but let us know. we will continue to highlight heroes of this year. rachel: we will turn to headlines now for mac six people are rushed to the hospital overnight after eight bridge collapsed at baltimore's biggest airport. southwest flight landed with a sick passenger on board. as paramedics escorted that person off the plane the walkway connecting aircraft to the terminal gave out. officials say those hurt should be okay. officials say operations are back to normal and the collapse is under investigation. foreign cyber attack disrupting deliveries for several major newspapers. la times is among those impacted and reports the

attacks targeted tribune publishing papers and those that share its los angeles printing facility. the company said the foreign entity disabled the servers, but no customer information was comprised. russian president vladimir putin sent a holiday letter to president trump saying moscow is ready for dialogue saying he wants to discuss a wide range of issues. the world leaders held one some in 2018. we call president trump canceled a meeting with vladimir putin last month over the country's rising escalation with the ukraine. pete: in college football we start with the gators. florida beat by michigan in the peach bowl 41-15. crimson tide, a game that really mattered rolls into its fourth straight national championship game after beating oklahoma 45-and of course alabama will play clemson for the title after date crushed

in charge of internal enforcement. how about case law? >> this was in response to a tragic killing of kate steinle in san francisco. in the illegal alien who was deported five times, seven felony convictions connecting to the united states, shot her in this law would have made it possible to throw in jail people who have an deported and come back to the united states. republican support of that 233-one. we have 106 democrats saying if you break back into a country after your deported-- pete: coming back in again a second time is not illegal is what democrats say. related to the next topic sanctuary cities and funding of it. >> we have many fugitive cities, sanctuary city is a warm positive term. i call them fugitive cities. six century states basically protect people who are fugitives from justice. fugitive states and cities.

in the jurisdiction usually run by democrats you have people who are criminal aliens, i.c.e. wants to get these people and they say you cannot pick them up or even talk to them in some cases and they commit more crimes says -- such as this tragic shooting of officer ronil singh. pete: there is an act related to the removal of gang members they had not supported as well, why? >> this law would say if you are gang member, people at us embassies and consulates around the world can say you cannot come to the united states and 222 republicans voted for this and 174 democrats voted against it. pete: hold on, if you are in again you can't come to the united states. >> democrats say that's not fair. pete: was the rationale? >> who knows. pete: border wall? >> front center of the big debate we are having and i think this sort of policy best summarized by keith ellison from your home state of minnesota. happy to remind you

that. he is the chairman of the democratic national committee, number two guy at the dnc. you is that it may date parade this shareware t-shirt that said spanish that i don't believe in borders and that's basically the view of the democratic party today without hundred 77 democrats in the house voting against the funding for the border wall. only one person in the senate did-- pete: is clear, if you want to abolish i.c.e., give people sanctuary or refugee as you said -- what did you call it? fugitive. you want to let gang members come to the country need a one a border wall, that's not a good foreign-policy. >> not good or effective pete: roy murdoch, thank you for being here. he's one of the most beloved and respected members of congress, and great memories like this when he challenge steve scully's to a scooter racing you may not know him or his whole story. he's also a war hero and pow.

looking 40 to 2019 what are the key elements of how you keep the economy going? >> i mean, three components of that. number one, we have to get more deregulation the economy. number two, i think yes to attract more capital. one issues is we have a lot of share repurchases and things like that for american corporations, but we need more re- preacher-- repatriation back on the us and the third thing which is also super important is the bully pulpit, and on the trade situation which i think we will have a trade deal going with the chinese in the next 90 or 100 days so if he does those three things-- i was here week ago it's at the bottom-- the market was at a bottom. i'm just looking at dividend discounted, cash flows and looking where things are priced now. ed: chinese officials overnight said positive things about a trade deal so we will watch that. john kelly the ongoing white house chief of staff said to be honest

it's not able. beas in the border patrol said well, we need a physical barrier in certain places with technology across the board and more people. the president still says while often times he will say barrier or fencing and now he's tended towards a steel slats, but we left a solid concrete wall early on in the administration when we asked people what they needed and where they needed it, so you could say from a technical standpoint maybe he is not making news and on the other hand on the out-- as the out going chief of staff busy he undermining the president? >> no, i don't think he's doing that. if anything one success john had was as the department of homeland security cabinet, all he is saying is as the president said they are adapting their strategy. there are certain parts of the border that you don't need anything and there are other areas where you needed a lot of fortification, so what we know is that it's working.

you will talk to tom later. the crisis at the border is very small. are not trying to minimize it. every life is a tragedy, of course, but it's very small and the impact in the benefit to the economy and to america's very big so what i'm surprised about is the democrats are asking it-- you are asking about the suburbs and i'm surprised the democrats lax on the wall. maybe they need to eat some of that bacon. i see that bacon as more conservative ideology and less videogames. rachel: it might backfire. i think the very tragic killing of this officer in california, officer ronil singh might turn people's hearts and minds at a very critical time in this debate. >> what they have done with the president on their side is tried to make him come across very bellicose, but in fact what he's doing is offering of common sense , so i think as we move into 2019 and you

look at the president's strategies no matter what they are in the economy, taxes, regulation, the common sense and very commercial benefits to americans in the end. i think there is a dichotomy in his personality where he needs to be part of the global system and he recognizes that, but he wants a priority on the american citizen. pete: one other nugget from that article in "the l.a. the la time interviewed john kelly, there's so much speculation and they asked why did you stay so long and john kelly said military people don't walk away. why was there always this poking and prodding that he's out the door? >> i don't know what, i mean, he blew me out on his first day. [laughter] rachel: you are not exactly his biggest defender. >> not exactly his biggest fan, but i admire his service to the country. at the end of the day 40 years of service to the country as a us marine, i applaud him. i think he probably

wasn't the right guy mad job and is probably frustration related to him and his personality and the way he interacted-- pete: with the john kelly out is there any chance that anthony scaramucci would be an? >> my wife is listening right now and throwing socks at the tv. there won't be an opportunity for me to go back and by the way i'm back running my business and it's been a lot of fun and writing books and pete has a new book coming out. ed: one of your businesses we should disclose as you have a small interest in the new york mets. i made the yankees fan. but start with the winner-- winners. >> personal let's talk about alabama. i was watching the game last night. i never seen anyone that miserable beating up on a team.

by someone who is an alleged violent criminal is a tragic and horrific story. i feel horrible for the newman police department , the family of officer ronil singh, all of us in california feel horrible about all of it and i know you want to get to sb 54, so let's get there. ed: first, you say everyone in california feels the way you do and i appreciate you started out by saying we have to recognize the tragedy before we talk about politics, but what about senator dianne feinstein from california. i been looking at twitter and she has a couple tweets out there about a boy who died in us custody, a migrant boy. that's a tragedy, yes. hats off to her for mentioning that. i have not seen a tweet in days from dianne feinstein or other major democrats in your home saying you say they care about it to say let's have hearings about why this officer was killed. let's have hearings about why this state law

opened the door to a cop being killed. >> united states senator is not the person in charge of the california state assembly or state senate. we have an incoming governor elect gavin newsom. ed: might not be in charge of border patrol leader, but she went hearings on the boy that died in us custody. >> but, she's in charge of committees that can as part of leadership that has oversight so california she doesn't. the state assembly, state senate we can look at sb 54 and fine-tune it took this was a very horrific example on the edge of sb 54. remember common california under section 3g of sb 54 if he had been convicted of a felony dui which takes three priors or injury or death he would've been reported to i.c.e., so there are rules around sb 54. it's not a free pass for by the criminals and the way even the immigrants here without documentation don't want violent criminals here

either. they want to be safe from the gang members who are here. ed: if they want to be safe then why is there the technicality which if you reach the-- three duis than you can reported to i.c.e. you heard the sheriff, don't answer me the answer their share of knows better than you and i. i don't know what his political affiliation is, but the sheriff was on the ground said because of these-- despite these two duis we cannot report him to i.c.e. despite what you just said and number to the sheriff eckley said he-- the officer would still be alive but for this state law. how do you answer that? >> first off, he doesn't know that because officers have been killed by people without proper documentation before sb 54, so that's not because of sb 54 and two directly tied that i believe is a bit unbelievable. the sheriff if i recall correctly was against sb 54 in the beginning, so he had a bias in the first place, but let's

could to the point. none of us want law enforcement to be murdered in the light of duty. none of us want violent gang affiliated criminals in our state to begin with, but here's the key, this alleged murderer was not convicted of anything related to gang crimes. he was not convicted on those. 220,000 people a year are arrested for dui in california, so if we tighten that up and make it a felony after two other then a whole lot of people will face prison. ed: we appreciate you coming in and debating it. as you said better than anyone cop's should not be killed and as the key in this case, anyway. appreciate you coming in. >> thank you. ed: newman police chief randy richardson breaking down in tears talking about the officer here. >> it's not supposed to happen here. i have been to too many of these funerals and i never thought ever that i would have to be doing this. ed: that police chief will join

almost every republican voted for it. had that legislation been in place, this murder may very well not have happened. and that's why there are consequences to your legislative action or inaction. and that's a fair conclusion by the president. now, i think this is going to keep happeningment i think -- happening. i think we also have to understand that the nature of immigration has changed. people leaving guatemala, el salvador, honduras, countries i've all been in and two of whom i've done security work in, they're very desperate people, that's true. that's one side of it. the other side of it is the murder rate in those countries is astronomical. i mean, it's -- they don't even know the number of murders because they can't find the bodies. some good work is being done to try to reduce it, but so you have that. then you've got the legitimate people leaving. they all get confused together. and then you've got the terrorists saying, hey, we can sneak somebody in with them. now, if you're a good ms-13 member or a good terrorist,

he has an insurance policy to get him out of office. i believe mueller is the insurance policy to get hem out of office. i'm not just saying that. strzok was his first investigator. how is it that all the ones that are eliminated are the ones he did when he was working for mueller? rachel: right. >> all of a sudden, they went down his phone, and the ones missing are the ones when he was working for mueller. why? because just maybe it would be very embarrassing if he was saying the same things while working for the holier than thou special counsel, and he was saying i hate trump, i'm going to get trump, we're going to get him anyway we have, we're framing flynn, we're not going to tell him he has a right to counsel, and comey approved that. comey even said i wouldn't have gotten away with that with a more experience administration. we're going to trap him. he's got a statement, we're not going to show him the statement to refresh his recollection. i don't know, that could all be there. the person who determined what to eliminate, unless this is a lie, was his records officer,

mueller's records officer. who says that there was nothing of interest there. it's hard to believe that strzok and page all of a sudden decides we're not going to tweet anymore or we're not going to text anymore about donald trump. they seem to be on to accessively, compulsively texting about him. i don't know what kind of lovers they were if they were texting about that -- i shouldn't have said that. that's terrible.

want to see what's on the other side of that barrier to see what's coming at 'em. so, you know, the president may use the term wall, but he understands clearly what the border patrol wants, and he looked at those prototypes himself. the president clearly understands what the border patrol p wants, and that's what he wants to give them. rachel: that's right, dr. h to oman. senator dianne feinstein has been tweeting about the two unfortunate deaths of immigrant children who had crossed the border, have not yet seen anything come out of her office regarding the officer singh who was killed at the hands of an illegal immigrant. we're seeing other california lawmakers with the same sort of approach to both cases. what do you make of that? do you feel like there needs to be more pressure on them to actually comment on the death of officer singh and specifically on the policies that have led to his death? >> well, first of all, you know, talk about the two children, and it's tragic. i've said it for the last several weeks, it's a failure of

ed: facebook now admitting they made a big mistake after banning reverend franklin graham for 24 hours. that's right, the reverend graham was banned for over 24 hours over a post from 2016. the post supported north carolina's controversial bathroom bill. rachel: and reverend graham is calling out the site saying facebook is censoring free speech, they're making and changing the rules. truth is truth, god made the rules, and his word is truth. the free exchange of ideas is part of our country's dna. pete: facebook has since restored the reverend's page, and we'll get to that, but many are still unhappy with the site's overreach and censorship including franklin graham who joins us now. reverend, thank you very much for being here this morning. your reaction overall to how something like this transpires. >> well, it just came out of nowhere, just came out of left field. all of a sudden we got a notification that we were blocked from something back in 2016. now, facebook acknowledges that

they get billions of posts every day, and they have -- i've heard from 7500-15,000 people who monitor, and they have just a few seconds to catch a bad post. well, why are they going back then to 2016? i think it was really a personal attack toward me. the post was, i was defending our governor and the legislatures of the state on a very controversial bill, house bill number 2. it was a good law. and it was to protect women and children. but with facebook, the problem with facebook is sexual orientation. if you disagree with sexual -- their position on sexual orientation, then you can be classified as hate speech or that you are a racist. and this is a problem. and the bible is truth, and i would hope they would look to the bible and get some instruction from god's word. ed: that would be a pretty simple rule to follow, we'll see whether they actually do it. here's the post, i was trying to

get in here just so we can explain how ridiculous this really is. you wrote: bruce springsteen, a longtime gay rights activist, has canceled his north carolina concert. he says the north carolina law to prevent men from being able to use women's restrooms and locker rooms is going backwards. well, to be honest, we need to go back, you wrote, back to god. now facebook, in their -- let me just say what they say. we twine hate speech as a direct attack on people based on what we call protected characteristics; race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, gender, caste, gender identity, serious disease or disability. is you get the idea. -- so you get the idea. what say you about all of this? [laughter] >> facebook's a private company, and they can certainly do what they want. but the president of the company, mark zuckerberg, when he spoke before congress, i think it was april, he said

facebook is a platform for all ideas. well, his obvious his staff hasn't got that memo. i encourage facebook to have a standard that doesn't move. they're constantly working, i think it's every two weeks to get together and they reformat these standards. i think they ought to just come up with a standard based on god's word, and that applies to all people in every country, everywhere in the world. and that they would support free speech. i think it would be good for them. rachel: all right. here's a statement from facebook, reverend. it says a page for franklin graham's facebook page did receive a 24-hour block after we removed a post for violating our hate speech policies. upon reviewing this content, we identified that the post does not violate our hate speech policy, and it has been restored. really quickly, i just want to say, you know, what you say facebook should do, but a lot of christians look up to you. what is the christianen response, should they boycott

facebook? what are you recommending or suggesting? >> well, first of all, i accept facebook's apology, and i appreciate them stepping up and doing that. but i think as christians we don't back down, and we don't change who we are and what we say and what we do. we represent the king of kings and the lord of lords, jesus christ, and jesus said i'm the way, the truth and the light, and no man comes to the father but by me. all truth is in the lord jesus christ, and i would encourage facebook -- and for christians -- to stand on god's word and his truth. pete: but the scary point about this, reverend, just to close briefly it's not like it was a post you put out yesterday or two days ago or three days ago. >> no. pete: someone went back to 2016 and made a decision. >> that's right. and that's worrisome. this isn't going to be good for facebook. i would encourage them to look at their standards and their rules and let it be a flat form for all -- platform for all ideas. i'm certainly against hate

speech, i'm certainly against people using facebook to incite violence against somebody like that, that's terrible. but just having a different opinion other than somebody at facebook and them to be labeled as hate speech -- rachel: right. ed: reverend graham, we are really happy you're finally out of facebook jail.

for his family. can you tell us, i know you're close to them too, how is the family holding up right now? >> they're having a difficult time. his brother described to me that they lost their foundation on both sides of the family, and it's going to be difficult for them to get through this. ed: yeah. >> there's a lot of people -- ed: well, officer singh, you know, as we mentioned, he was your first hire. and i wonder, we've heard about how he was a legal immigrant, and what did he say in the interview process about, you know, as a recent immigrant to the country pursuing the american dream, why did he want to put on the blue uniform? what did he tell you? >> you know, that that's what actually made him stand out the day that i did the interview with him, is his devotion for this profession. and he told me he came here solely to become a police

officer and be a part of this country and to protect what was given to him and allowed to him. and it was those words that i could see in him that he was going to do well in this profession. pete: chief, the newman police department is a smaller department, about a dozen officers, a town of 10-11,000 people. if you would, and i know it's tough, take us back to that shift change that night. you were one of the last people to see officer singh, those moments that you recall. >> well, i wasn't one of the last because we had overlapping -- he worked graveyard, i worked the day shift, partial day shift for an officer so he could stay home early morning with his kids. so i came in early, and it was just -- our grave yard is only one officer, so the relief in the morning. you know, you don't think at the time it's going to be the last time you say good-bye. many things i wish i would have

said had i known, but, you know, we just passed. we said good-bye, merry christmas, and off he went. and that was, you know, hours later i received a phone call. rachel: oh, my goodness. you know, i know the community is coming together behind the officer, behind the law enforcement agency, your division there. and we also heard from members of your department that they believe this was an unnecessary death, that there was a policy in place on the sanctuary city policy that could have prevent -- if it had not been in place, could have prevented his murder. do you feel like the community is starting, that this tragic death might be changing hearts and minds about the sanctuary city policy in california? do you think that this could be one of those, i don't know, critical junctures in the way people are viewing it? >> you know, i don't know. i would hope that people out

there find this tragedy for what it is, it's just a tragedy. i know that stanislaus county sheriff talked about what you're referring to, but i want to remember ronil singh and not really so much about everything else. it was a senseless tragedy. it could have been prevented. but, unfortunately, we're here today having this conversation because it was not prevented. ed: right. and so we asked you about his family personally. what about the family of officers? it was mentioned already that it's a very small, tight-knit group. you lose one, it's a big blow to the heart. >> yes. it's a tremendous blow. we're having our ups and downs. we have good days, we have bad days. not everybody's having them at the same time. we've had incredible support from other law enforcement agencies stepping in when we need it to cover our streets

because we're not able to handle those shifts. it's been a tough, tough few days. pete: chief, you have an amazing, obviously, connection to this community, but this story has rivetted the hearts of so many americans. what would your message be to those americans who want to find another way or a better way to support law enforcement? >> you know, it's often talked about the thin blue line, protecting between good and evil. i think we stand on top of the good, you know, that's what holds us up, the good people of this country, of these communities. and i believe that gets lost a little bit, or it has been lost a little bit. and i'm hoping tragedy maybe will get the support of the good back that we might have been losing over the years with the negative publicity that seems to follow law enforcement these days. pete: absolutely. just briefly, and i don't want

you to get political or anything, but why does that negative publicity follow police officers? why does that happen? >> you know, i don't know. it's a profession that is high profile, obviously, for what we do. many things are criticized about what we do, and we are truly just here, like ron was, to protect and serve, to make communities better. rachel: he was a volunteer before he was even hired on the force, that's how much he wanted to serve that community. ed: and, chief, yesterday we had a guest on the program, frank siller, who has an organization called tunnel to towers. i don't know if the message got to you yet, because i can't even imagine what you've been through since christmas night and the morning after, the aftermath of this tragedy, but frank and his organization reached out to our viewers, and they're raising money in order to pay off officer singh's family's home mortgage so they don't even have to think about that cost as they

deal with all the rest of this. what do you think about that, but also what else can our viewers do? >> you know, that's, that was amazing. i did, i spoke to frank on the phone, and he relatedded that message. -- related that message. his organization, tunnels to towers, is amazing, and what they're going to do for the singh family is amazing. what can viewers do? support local law enforcement. get out, meet your neighbors. let's get communities back. let's stop fighting amongst each other, and let's work together. pete: an amazing message, a great place to leave it. tunnels to towers.org. chief randy richardson of the newman police department, thank you for your time, your service, and we certainly with you this morning remember corporal ron singh. >> thank you very much for having me. ed: more "fox & friends" coming up. has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else?

instance, "the economist." china's ready to buckle, the current issue, china's ready to give in. we're on the cusp of something monumental. rachel: because it's not a short-term game. the president, in making these negotiations with china on trade, this is long term. this is about the next generation. we don't do that as politicians very often. >> they wouldn't do this because they would be afraid they'd be unpopular, the status quo, the elites wouldn't want them to do this. you've got, you know, it's a really unique situation to have someone who says i don't care what the elites say, i don't care how you twist the polls, this is something that should be done because, first of all, everyone has acknowledged the problem, it's how you fight it. ed: you're filling in for maria -- pete: i didn't know she took vacations. rachel: i didn't either! the hardest working -- >> louie go merit's going to be with us, great political panel. ed rollins, of course, former reagan campaign manager.
