end show. we'll see you in the first show of 2019 next sunday with the latest heather: good morning, it is monday december 31st and this is "fox & friends first", happening right now at 4:00 a.m., it is officially day 10 of the partial government shutdown and democrats are refusing to budge on border security. president trump trolling them on twitter overnight asking why the country can't be as secured as their mansion. plus as many as 2 million people expecting to pack the streets of new york city to bring in the new year tonight. the unprecedented security measures being unveiled for the very first time giving nypd extra eyes in the sky. and you know parents they will go to great lengths to make sure

kids are behaved in flight, comments pouring in on this one. "fox & friends first" start right now. ♪ ♪ heather: good morning, happy new year, you're watching "fox & friends first" on monday morning, live shot from times square you there are people gathered all weekend long. they had practices, big ball will drop if you're in the area, that should be something i will say that you should do at least once. precautions taking just a little bit later, stay tune. we begin with border security

standoff. the president and democrats appear unwilling to waiver on the wall as the government shutdown enters tenth day, garrett tenney live in washington where negotiations are at standstill. good morning, garrett. >> heather, good morning to you, based on what we are hearing the shutdown will last late this week, but most likely a week or two beyond that. negotiations between democratic leaders in the white house haven't really been happening in the past week and both sides appear to be digging in but behind the scenes the number of lawmakers in both parties have been mean to go try and work out a deal to end the shutdown, the proposals being discussed include combination of funding for the wall, fix for daca and a number of other immigration provisions that democrats support with the hope being that those additions could be enough to win their support with this deal, senator lindsey graham is one of those lawmakers and after meeting with the president on sunday he said president trump is open to making a deal with

democrats. >> the president is firm in his commitment to make sure we get money for border security and they'll never be a 60 vote deal in the senate that doesn't include money for border security/wall. and i don't see democrats giving us more money unless they get something. the one thing we talked about is making deals. >> president trump is also making his case for a wall on twitter tweeting sunday president and mrs. obama built compound, the u.s. needs thing, slightly larger version. so far democratic leaders are holding firm that the wall is a nonstarter for them in negotiations. >> yes, we did comprehensive immigration reform, yes, we need to enhance border security but we are not willing to pay $2.5 billion or $5 billion in wasting taxpayer dollars on a

ransom note because donald trump decided that he was going to shut down the government and hold the american people hostage. that's unreasonable. >> lawmakers are expecting negotiations will pick up later this week once the new congress begins and once democrats formally elect a new speaker expected to be nancy pelosi, heather. heather: garrett tenney, live for us, thank you, garrett. as garrett was discussing, democrats refusing to budge on border security which is days until they take control of the house, kellyanne conway say it is fight over wall funding is unfair to the border agents who risk their lives every day. >> many, many days since the house passed its $5.6 billion for border security. it's not restricted to just a wall, cpb says they need. i prefer chuck schumer 2006 and 2009 to chuck schumer 2018 and 2019 where he has amnesia, he

said enhance border security is a way to keep out illegal immigration. people who just want to say a wall, wall, want it to be a four-letter word and not respect what customs and border patrol and ice tell us they need which is enhancements at the border. there may wall in some places, maybe technological enhancements, all we are saying wall or no wall is being disingenuous and turning complete blind eye to crisis at the border. heather: today marks 10 days since the partial shutdown, both chambers are in session today but striking a deal seems unlikely. ♪ ♪ heather: fox news alert for you, massive manhunt underway for gunman who killed a 7-year-old girl in front of her mother and three siblings, the girl was shot inside a car as family left houston area wal-mart. the shooter pulling up beside

them and opening fire. >> we are going to use all resources available to bring this killer to justice because we will be looking for you, we will locate you, we will find you. heather: well, the girl's mother shot and wounded. it's unclear why the man began shooting. illegal immigrant charged with murder is released from prison for 31 hours, clerical error reportedly blamed for setting sergio pérez free in north carolina, the 17-year-old from méxico is accused of shooting and killing a man during botched car robbery, he's now back in jail in mecklenburg county where the new sheriff ended the jail's cooperation with ice. well, today secretary of state mike pompeo is heading to brazil where he is meeting with president elect there to discuss the migrant crisis and venezuela. pompeo will attend the new year's day inauguration before heading to colombia.

the president elect has been called the trump of the tropics in part since he's political outsider with strong social media presence. well, defective brackets are to blame for collapse of a jet way at busy airport, the brackets will be replaced on the bridge and 5 others at baltimore washington international. look at that, paramedics took a sick passenger off a plane, 6 people were injured but they've all been released from the hospital. well, let's take a live look, there it is, life look at time squares where new york city mayor expects 2 million people to ring in the new year tonight, nypd amping up security by launching drones for the very first time and joins us live as final preparations get underway, good morning, ana. >> can't wait for big night and debuting new technology, officials in new york city's

times square testing ball drop, mayor says 2 million people will be packing midtown manhattan, sounds like a big number and with all of those people comes extra tight securities. nypd says 7,000 officers are ready to go. >> it's going to be one of the most well-policed best protected events and one of the safest venues in the entire world. >> counterterrorism officers and bomb-sniffing dogs to stop attacks and intelligence detectives will be stationed at all nearby hotels, cameras will monitor with 200 blocks to act as safety barriers, nypd will have eyes in the sky as heather mentioned debuting brand-new security drones. >> that's going to give us a visual aid and flexibility to move a camera to a certain spot

through a tremendous crowd. >> and the drones have thermal imaging and 3d map to go catch any terrorists, friends, if you're headed to new york city times square for big party, expect to go through metal detectors and security checkpoints, prepare for cold temperatures, police commissioner says there's no credible threats to tonight's celebration. we will be having good time. heather: absolutely, much more on the security coming up. thank you so much, ana. let's talk about nasa now. this is pretty exciting kicking off year with epic trip deep into the solar system. tomorrow the agency will fly its new horizon spacecraft past an object, 4 billion miles awie from the sun, believed 5 billion years old, fly-by will be streamed live, 9 minutes after the top of the hour and police ramping up security in times square, ana was just talking

about and across the country ahead of tonight's new year's celebration. he breaks down to unprecedented security measures now in place nationwide. elizabeth warren making a not so subtle change on social media, the big 2020 hint that he just dropped.

heather: welcome back, you're watching "fox & friends first", look at times square, a whole lot of people down there shortly, people crowded in into the weekend, 2 million people expected no times square to watch the big ball drop and nypd along with departments all across the country are gearing up for tonight's celebrations, so what is law enforcement doing to keep everyone safe? jim hanson, former u.s. army special forces member and counterterrorism expert and he

joins us now live to talk about it. good morning to you, thank you very much for joining us. >> good to be with you. heather: big night in times square, actually lots of celebrations all across the country and, you know, a lot of folks doing their part to keep everyone safe. >> and you have to understand one thing, america is one giant soft target and honestly we wouldn't have it any other way. i mean, as much as some people on the left like to squaller that we live in police state, we live further than police state. freedom, there's a huge challenge when you want to make sure that you have an event, wonderful parties in times square and not allow someone to attack it, while the police can have massive presence, you have to understand they are operating at disadvantage as much as they can do. heather: yeah, absolutely. but something that will give them at least a little more of an advantage this year, we've been reporting that they will be using drones.

>> and what a great idea, i mean, it's a new technology that allows them to have a camera anywhere they want at any point in time and, you know, at some places like to uk they have a very extensive array of close-circuit television that's streamed directly to the police that they can use, we don't do that. most of the close circuit cameras are private in the united states, this gives the police control of what's going on and the ability to if something start to happen to get eyes on it immediately and hopefully deploy some of the 7,000 officers directly to it as quick as they can. heather: so many officers not just here in new york city but really across the country because as you mentioned, i mean, these are soft targets. >> yeah, and one of the things, one of the best ways to stop bad things from happening is first the police will do everything they can, you know, they'll be doing investigations, they'll have informants, they'll be doing under cover work but the eyes of the people, you know, the army of davids that are all over are the best first alert

system, so it's a cliché but if you see something, say something, don't profile by identity, profile by activity, if you see someone doing something suspicious, it doesn't matter who that person is, it matters what they are doing, that's what you want to be looking for. heather: if you're wrong, sobeit. take the chance. >> exactly. heather: obviously one of the huge concerns, terrorists, for example, isis and there's been a lot of discussion recently right now in terms of syria where isis now controls i think it's less than 1% of the territory there and president trump announces troop withdrawal, lindsey graham came out yesterday after meeting with the president and said, kind of backtracked, he was totally against this, well, now i understand a little bit more, what are your thoughts on that? >> i think the president explain today him that there's a plan, we are not just going to pull the troops out and leave a vacuum. there's been a plan all along, we helped provide ideas this

spring but to do more tribal engagement. sunni tribes need to have the ability to protect themselves, they need to have some special forces troops there, working with them, training them provide their own security and president trump made deal with turkey to make sure that there's no gap there in the thing and the folks in the region have a reason to worry about this so they will be helpful as well, the saudis and uae and others. heather: jim, thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate it. happy new year to you. >> same to you, have a good night, heather. heather: time now 17 minutes after the top of the hour and is president trump rethinking his plan to withdraw troops from syria as we were just discussing? >> he told me some things i didn't know that made me feel a lot better about where we are headed in syria. heather: what the president just revealed to one of the plan's biggest critics up next.

and new year new you, it's time to make new year's resolutions, eat healthy, exercising, have you done that? well dr. jennifer is here with the secret strategy to make them stick, good morning. >> good morning. i am a family man.

i am a techie dad. i believe the best technology should feel effortless. like magic. at comcast, it's my job to develop, apps and tools that simplify your experience. my name is mike, i'm in product development at comcast. we're working to make things simple, easy and awesome. heather: welcome back, obamacare will remain law as it's being appealed. that's the word from the same federal judge in texas that will be affordable care act as unconstitutional earlier this month. the new decision means obamacare will likely stay in place for at least another year as it goes through the appeals process. the judge claims the law became invalid after congress voted to eliminate the individual mandate penalty in 2017.

well, future of food stamps, it is in doubt over partial government shutdown and that's enough funding through january, that's what's available but the usda has to grant anything beyond that if shutdown runs into february. earlier this month trump administration unveiled new plan requiring able-bodied people on food stamps to get jobs. we will follow that for you. it is 2019 tomorrow and if you are ready to ring the new year with new goals and some resolutions, we are going to help you stick to them, joining me now tips on how to stay committed in 2019 family physician dr. jennifer. thank you very much for joining us. >> happy new year almost, new year's eve. heather: lots of folks myself included make new year's resolutions, let's bring up for people what the top 5 are. exercise more, number one, going along with losing weight, eating healthy, put yourself first.

quit smoking and see your doctor. >> these are some of the top 5 new year's resolutions anyone has and i threw in a couple of my favorites that i want people to have as well. of course, exercise more and lose weight, it's something we all want to do and i say that's a good thing. we know obesity is an epidemic, this is the time to make new changes, this is wonderful time for that. small changes i think can make a big difference. heather: okay. >> sometimes we go to new year, i will go to the jim every day and not eat anything unhealthy, it's not that we can't do that, small changes can make a big difference, start by walking more, start by getting treadmill when you're watching favorite show, cutting out a little bit of fattening foods just to start with the lose-weight exercise. heather: sometimes you try to do all or nothing you get disappointed quickly. i will run marathon tomorrow and when you can't do it, okay, forget it. [laughter] heather: give up on it.

>> it's important to surround ourselves with people who support our in addition, you -- mission, you know, but i also put down the idea of putting yourselves first because i think a lot of times we put ourselves last and that is making sure that we are taking time for mindfulness, yoga, going to church, whatever is important for you, i think it's really important for stress ways. heather: very difficult for parents to do that. >> yes, or anyone taking care of other people, i have many patient who is are caretakers, own parents or others and it can be very difficult. >> absolutely. a couple of my others smoking, i think the biggest thing is to make them stick. heather: we have tips of how to make them stick. >> how do make them stick, this is really important to write down your goals. i'm a writer and i still have legal pads all over my desk with notes scribbled all over them. writing them, note pad on the phone or writing them down, kind

of makes them real, breaking them down in bite-size obtainable goals, maybe don't run a 5k tomorrow, maybe start by saying, okay, when it gets 500 extra steps in a way which is very important. it's important to kind what we are doing well. let's think about what we have done and the goals that you have obtained and the things, the small kings that we've made that are making a difference. heather: begin with the positive and then go into you can work on. >> be good to yourself. that's what i say. heather: great advice for sure, good luck with everyone to your new year's resolutions and thank you so much. >> happy new year. heather: hopefully we will see a lot of you in the new year. time now 25 minutes after the top of the hour, many democrats silent on the california officer killed by and illegal immigrant but many of those same democrats continue to call for investigations into border

patrol, so is this another example of lawmakers playing politics, we will debate it. and lightening strikes in the cockpit, the terrifying moment that left a pilot pretty shaken understandably today is the day you're going to get motivated... get stronger... get closer. start listening today to the world's largest selection of audiobooks on audible. and now, get more. for just $14.95 a month, you'll get a credit a month good for any audiobook, plus two audible originals exclusive titles you can't find anywhere else. if you don't like a book, you can exchange it any time, no questions asked. automatically roll your credits over to the next month if you don't use them. with the free audible app, you can listen anytime, and anywhere. plus for the first time ever, you'll get access to exclusive fitness programs

heather: welcome back, you're watching "fox & friends first" half past the top of the hour. we are taking you the france now where they are bracing for new year's eve approach after violent weekend of antigovernment demonstrations. well, yellow vest protestors setting fires and causing chaos in cities across the country, popular tourist spots like eiffel tower seeing surrounded by thick black smoke.

well, senator lindsey graham appearing more on board with the president's plan to take u.s. troops out of syria after productive lunch at the white house. >> we talked about syria and he told me some things i didn't know that made me feel a lot better about where we are headed in syria. heather: graham says the president reassured him that isis would be destroyed and allies would be protected. graham was initially critical of the president's decision to pull all american troops out of syria. with that new optimism behind the president's plan all eyes are on turkey to keep isis at bay in the region. trey reports from jerusalem. >> as u.s. troops prepare to leave syria, the american withdrawal is already being felt across the region. russian-backed syrian forces entered the north eastern city

friday at the invitation of kurdish fighters, while previous think two groups have fought bloody battles in syria, the kurds fear a massive turkey operation once u.s. troops leave the country. on saturday u.s. coalition fighter jets were still flying over but the future of the city remains up in the air, the city is a critical area just 20 miles from the turkish border and turkish president erdoga promised major operation against the kurds, critics of president trump says it's betrayal of kurdish fighters that helped defeat isis. since 2016 local fighters backed by the united states have controlled after reclaiming it from isis. residents are now in a difficult position. they face either an invasion by the turks or see the syrian army take control of the city both of which could lead to more violence in northern syria. successful takeover by syrian

government forces would be victory of bashar al-assad. last week both the countries of uae announced that they would be moving embassies back to syrian capital of demascus. fox news. heather: north korea reportedly still developing missiles despite vowing to stop launches. now the japan news reports that the rogue nation conducted a missile-linked radio wave environment this month. the u.s., japan and south korea constantly monitor radio waves and picked up a signal from war head equipment, this comes as kim jong un asked the south korean president for more peace talks in new year. he's invite today meet with president trump, we will see if that happens in january. well, possible plot to assassinate conservative president of colombia, officials in the south american nation are investigating after three

venezuelans were recently arrested with rifles, high-powered scope and ammo. president ivan duque has been outspoken of venezuelan government. police finding a rocket launcher, explosives and 3 dozen guns after pulling a man riding motorcycle while armed with a rifle. the suspect is under arrest, still unclear why he had so many weapons but i'm sure we will find out. well, california's democrats in the meantime still silent after the murder of officer by and illegal immigrant but calling instead for ice to be investigated. republicans blasting the left for not backing border security. >> democrats talk a good game but the actions don't match the rhetoric. think about this, voted against kate's law, voted against the criminal alien act, they support sanctuary cities, i would lay a

lot of this blame on the other side of the aisle. heather: so are democrats just playing politics, here to debate former deputy assistant secretary under -- secretary of state under president obama, joe and rnc spokesperson kayleigh mcenany. >> thanks, heather. heather: there's 10 who say they are unavailable to comment and then there's another group that has not commented at all, 31 of them who haven't responded let's just say, so kayleighi will begin with you, what do you think of nonresponse? >> well, every single one of them needs to be held accountable and asked questions why they supported the lawless policies that led to the death of officer zing, it's a tragedy what happened especially because it was preventible and you heard there the county sheriff say

quite clearly that our hands were tied because of political interference that california's sanctuary laws were responsible for what happened and did not allow law enforcement to report the criminal activity of this horrendous murder to ice, he should any further have been in the country, he was allowed and enabled because of sanctuary laws and we need to say it loudly and every single member of congress in california that's been against border security, needs to answer, needs to change policies and needs to secure our border so no one losses their life again. heather: they should be commenting at least, should not have been here, has been arrested before, he's a member of a gang, known-game -- known-gang ties. >> first of all, the killing of officer is deplorable and should be condemned and should be condemned across the board. that's not the real issue, the real issue is we don't have an

immigration system at all that's functioning. we need comprehensive program, we need to ensure that individuals like this killer that they are prosecuted properly. we can get them without generalizing about an entire immigrant population. the sanctuary cities, to be very blunt often times have allowed individuals to call the police against criminal activity. they enable people to feel comfortable to do that. it's not at all clear that sanctuary cities are the cause of this, we shouldn't mix cause and effect and the individuals should be prosecuted but not because he's immigrant it's because he's a bad individual. >> you look at numbers and ice apprehended 127,000 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions, that includes more than 1,000 homicides and that was last year alone. there are bad contingency, not everyone but certainly some and not a single american not one

should lose their life because the laws were not enforced. there are far too many examples from officers, dominic, kate stanley and you can name their names, democrats need to stop vacationing and come back to negotiate so people are safe and secure in our country and in our borders. >> well, clearly the laws work if these individuals were arrested. i mean, that's not the problem, it's not because democrats are causing comprehensive immigration laws. heather: didn't work because we have a dead american, we have an immigrant who actually came here and did it right the legal way and the only thing he wanted to do was serve this country and pay this country back and the legal immigrant is dead and we have and illegal immigrant who has been arrested twice for dui and, you know, who was able to

get in across the border because we don't have border security. >> but i don't think that we would ask, i don't think the legal immigrant will say that all immigration should be shutdown as a cause. >> no one is saying that. >> that's why we shouldn't be walk get away from comprehensive immigration reform that creates process for asylum seekers that's real and legitimate, and right now we don't have them, trump administration is playing politics and blaming democrats rather than coming to the table and have negotiated outcome for that kind at the program. heather: they're not at the table because they're in hawaii. >> right, exactly. the only person, the only party here that's offered a solution, comprehensive immigration reform is president trump, he said i will give you daca legalization if in return you give me the barrier structure, border wall, a fair compromise, democrats walked away, nancy pelosi is in hawaii, chuck schumer laughed at the deal, this was a fair deal, you want border security, daca

legalization, one person that's willing to give and it's president trump. >> a year ago president trump actually wasn't comfortable making that deal if he had $25 billion on the table, he walked away from now. heather: 25 billion was an appropriation's money and now gone from 5 billion to 2.5 billion and we are still not negotiating. joel and kayleigh mcenany thank you very much. >> happy new year. heather: you too. 20 minutes until the top of the hour, more money, no problem, minimum wage set to spike in more than a dozen states in cities nationwide this week. could your paycheck be in line for that boost? we will talk about it. it's never too late to recognize a hero. >> keep putting medals on and i won't be able to stand up. heather: love it. war veteran now supporting chest full of medals and a big smile on his face, decades in the making.

heather: welcome back, "fox & friends first", fighter jet pilot nearly struck by lighting in cockpit, stop what you're doing, promise you you will want to see this, watch. ouch. well, the pilot from kuwait jumping for goggles and he's okay but the jet is damaged. wow. that's a close encounter for sure. well, police arrest an arm's man wearing mask and technical style clothing who says was on his way to church to fulfill prophecy, carrying a loaded gun and extra ammunition when taken into custody in texas.

officers say albert claimed to be going to unnamed church, he's being held on $100,000 bond. well, millions of americans are ringing in the new year with bigger paychecks, tracee carrasco from sister network fox business here on which states and cities are raising the minimum wage, good morning, tracee. tracee: 19 states in 21 cities will be raising their minimum wage or adjusting it fazing in some increases in the new year to help with the rising cost of living, take a look at some of the states, 8 of the states, arizona, california, colorado, maine, massachusetts, missouri, new york, washington will be fazing in minimum wage increases that will eventually reach 12 to $15 an hour, now the national employment law project estimates that some 17 million workers will benefit from the 2019 wage increases so something to look forward in the new year for many

workers. heather: all right, what about this, saying good-bye to 2018 with new year's eve freebies and deals, free rides? >> the last day of the year, the last day to take advantage of many deals, new panera bread rewards member, one more day to take advantage of free bagel deal. if you have 2018 chick-fil-a calendar, the last day to redeem for a free chicken sandwich, also a number of restaurants like applebee's, cheesecake factory, buffalo wild wings 2018 deals, their promotions, a lot of them have freebies in 2019, the most important free by of all triple a offering free rides tonight for some members, nonmembers, participating locations across the country. they want to make sure people are not driving under the influence. very important one. heather: so you don't necessarily have to be a member for triple a? tracee: definitely make sure your area to see that if you're triple a in the area is participating but they are

offering rides to make sure no one is driving. heather: that's a great idea. tracee: yes, it is. heather: we should try to expand and maybe get uber involved. the time now is about 15 minutes until the top of the hour, have you ever wondered what happens if you drop your phone while running from police? well, hopefully you don't do that too often. how officers are redefining the term social justice and study revealing 92% of media coverage of president trump is negative, perhaps not a surprise but what about the president's successes in 2018 that the media missed, our next guest from the trump campaign advisory board madison sets the record straight. we will be right back hey, batter, batter, batter, batter.

heather: welcome back, there was no shortage of a tax on our president this year, study from the media research center revealing 92% of the television coverage of president trump was in fact, negative. but as 2018 comes to a close, let's reflect on president trump's accomplishments, how about that? the left has not talked too much about these if at all. here to walk us through some of the president's key achievements is attorney madison, who is on the trump campaign advisory board. thank you very much for joining us this morning. >> good to be with you, happy new year, heather. heather: yes, to you too. it's been a good year for a lot of folks on the job front in terms of the jobs and the economy, let's begin there. >> you know, since president trump took office 4 million jobs, over 4 million jobs have been created, more americans are working now than ever before, one of the things enough attention is brought to is the fact that we are seeing better

job opportunities. people are not happy to work in low-paying jobs anymore. wages are rising, we are seeing shift in market from jobs like leisure and retail jobs that don't pay as much to jobs like construction, warehousing, manufacturing, this has been incredible for the american worker and, you know, one of the things that i think is going into 2016 people are looking forward to is increase in job, one of many, many promise that is the president has kept. >> shift from lower-paying jobs to higher-paying jobs as you mentioned. another thing in terms of the economy, tax cuts and deregulation. >> yeah, we've passed the first round of tax cuts and deregulation continues, one new regulation for every 22 regulations slashed when president trump took office, a hundred thousand pages of regulation in the federal register and this has been incredible year, has taken pressure away from businesses,

$8 billion and net save negotiation deregulation front and on top of that, we are looking to potentially second round of tax cuts which would be incredible for middle-class families and then, of course, over $5.5 trillion in net tax savings because of the tax cuts and drawbacks. heather: 85 federal judges who have been appointed since president trump took office. >> many, many people voted for this president because of the federal judiciary. i believe this is where his lasting legacy will lie, we have incredible justice neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh and the most important thing is that the judges and justices are people who believe in the constitution and make sure they look to the text of the constitution on the bench and that's important and extremely important for the country. heather: we can never forget our veterans and in years past they have not received the care that they deserved, but this is

something that this president, he campaigned on and he's doing something about. >> these men and women i'm so thankful for them. i know you are too. they put lives on the line, they were not receiving the care they deserved especially the healthcare front. one of the things president trump is so proud of the fact that we are seeing increased opportunity for telemedicine, we are seeing more and more same-day primary care and mental care facility open, no more long wait times, we are going to hold accountable for those veterans that served us bravely. heather: wait times were unacceptable. they deserve best care available. madison, thank you very much for joining us, happy safe new year tonight. >> happy new year. heather: 8 minutes until the top of the hour, they i don't -- cht 32,000 feet, what's the mom
