there. brian: really? steve: yeah. the president of the united states this morning at 11:30. the house passed two wills to reopen the government but the problem is the president has made it very clear if there is no wall dough is not going to go for it. brian: richard shelby is predicting it's going to last for months. so that's pretty scary because you had hundreds of thousands of people whose livelihood depends on not lasting for months. steve: he is in charge of appropriations. brian: we did think it was going to be a 10:30 meeting. it did get changed. he got wrong. nancy pelosi's speech muttering underneath her breath i saw i think i lost a few pages. it was smooth until that. jedediah: lots of people have been wondering if president trump is going to dig his heels in or cave.

turns out vice president mike pence said we have no deal without the wall. hammering that through. take a listen. >> ever since the christmas holiday, the president sent us to capitol hill. i met with senator schumer not once but twice we engaged in good faith negotiations. the president and i cancelled all of our christmas vacation plans. we were here in washington, d.c. democrats broke off negotiations about a week ago. but the president has made it clear. we are here to make a deal but it's a deal that's going to result in achieving real gains on border security and you have no border security without the wall. >> right. >> we have no deal without a wall. steve: okay. so he is pretty clear about that. congress did pass two bills yesterday. one package was a package of six different spending bills that would open most of the government, except the department of home land security, which would be funded in that separate little sliver of a bill. the big question now is, will the president sign one of the two? it goes to mitch, of course,

for his decision. is he not going to put anything up that the president won't sign. it one, reopens most of the government. would the president sign that? it's the other one, the department of homeland security that has no wall funding that the president really has a problem with the big question will he use both as maximum leverage. jedediah: my prediction he is not going to sign anything that doesn't involve border security. he has been talking about this wall for a really long time. the people who vote you had for him are counting for it one of the bills the democrats put forth found $12 billion for more international affairs programs. $700 million for the u.n. so when they want to find money, they get out there and find money. steve: for other countries. jedediah: for other countries. when it comes do our known nation, border security, human trafficking they think that's a joke. brian: usual military, law enforcement, entitlement programs are largely uneffected. nine departments including homeland security. justice, state, and treasury affected.

and you have 800,000 people who are going to feel some type of hit. we will see what it means. right now the major impasse is the barrier which is so maddening is senator dick durbin in 2006 multiple times, senator schumer. you have harry reid when he was majority leader they all said they need a fence. the words debating on the couch fence or wall. now the president says my give is i just want a barrier. but now the democrats are saying i don't even remember wanting a barrier. speaker nancy pelosi says i find it immoral. which is unbelievable. you would think that maybe you have to take down the hundreds of miles of fence we have already. she wasn't shy by using sarcasm yesterday. >> the situation would you accept even a dollar of wall funding for this president in order to reopen -- >> -- a dollar? [laughter] $1? yeah, one dollar.

he said a dollar. so that's not your question. you said a dollar. >> the fact is a seawall an immorality. jedediah: wow. steve: that is a headline right there. because she has just agreed to partially founding the wall to the tune of $1. jedediah: like i said, she thinks it's a big joke. i don't find this funny at all. i think it's interesting that she can joke about humanitarian crisis on the border and they can find money for a bunch of other stuff and deprioritize national security. it's not immoral to know who is coming in and out o country to have ice agents doing their job and border patrol agents to do their job to secure this country. i think it's really offensive whether you have children coming here and suffering through horrific conditions to get over here, some dying. you had a child die. a story wildly reported. you have her laughing about it. no, you have this administration trying to do something to prevent these crises, nancy, it's not

funny. steve: see what the president and nancy pelosi do. will there will be a break through. you will find out about it here on fox. meanwhile the president of the national border patrol council brandon judd is going to join us live in the next hour. brian: brilliant for the president to bring out the men and women who are actually doing the job every day. came out during the press briefing room and i think he took control of the narrative by hitting everybody with facts. and nancy pelosi and schumer weren't there. to interrupt the people doing this work. apolitical, jewels want to get it done. meanwhile, you have to wonder how long it's going to take before impeachment comes up with this new congress? steve: well, on the first day of democrat control, brad sherman, a democrat from california, filed articles of impeachment which he has done this before. he did it back in 2017. he is accusing the president of the united states of obstruction of justice over the way he fired james comey

the former fbi director. meanwhile, we heard from jim jordan, member of the house freedom caucus he hit twitter up pretty fast. jedediah: we knew they couldn't help themselves. sherman files articles of impeachment on the president. dems are more focused on stopping trump than building the wall and helping the country. no surprise to a lot of the people that they came out on this immediately. brian: i think they have to have a strong leader and leader says don't do it right away. we will see what happens with the mueller investigation. you would think sherman might say i might listen to the new speaker. but he didn't care. so, we will see if that gets a vote. meanwhile, one of the freshman that is going to be -- rasheda is one of the freshman who is going to be in washington and i think she is going to be very open and honest when she can work with the president. or she might not be. try to read between the lines. >> momma loves you. bullies don't win.

night. and you just say that was rough language. is that just a preview of coming attractions? jedediah: i think so. you will see that a lot more. not surprising to a lot of people. consensus among many democrats were going to come in and first thing they would do is investigate donald trump ad nauseam. i caution them people who voted you in or expecting policy and not investigations. steve: impeach. jedediah: they have been trying to do that since the guy got elected. we want to hear from you at friends@foxnews.com. we want to hear what you have to say. should democrats focus on impeachment and how will that work out for them. brian: eric swalwell says he will either be impeached for us or at the ballot box. jillian: i am not running for president. we do have a fox news alert to get tovment seven people are killed including children. massive highway inferno. several others taken to the hospital with several

government. senator collins and senator cory gardner, are you going to be the third? >> you know, i'm going to say it's going to be awfully hard for me to support anything that does not include funding for a border wall. the president has been very clear on this. we need border security. we need to build the wall. that's important to the people of my state. listen, the people of missouri have sent a message twice now in the last two years, 2016, 2018, they want our border secure. and that's what we have got to fight for. brian: all right. we will see how long this lasts. the president has dug in and says he feels great supporting it. i understanding the president has backed off. listen, i'm not saying a 2,000 lock mile. i will take fence and barrier. we have to fix other places. if he will take fence and he will take a barrier and is he talking about metal slats. senator schumer caught up by a reporter and asked about his earlier comments in 2008 and 2006 saying he was for a fence and need border security. he was confronted with that here's what he said. >> it's not just fencing.

a fence works. you ask the experts. a big concrete wall is expensive and doesn't work. brian: so he said i will take a fence. is that a jumping off point? >> you know, i mean, look, this is what this is all about. this is all about pure politics. the people of this country sent a message in 2016, 2018, they want results, brian. they want the border secure. they want folks to actually get something done in washington. and now you have the democrats saying we won't even come to the take. you can see it in senator schumer's response. the ever shifting goal post. the president said let's make a deal. let's meet together. we have got to get border security. let's make a deal. you have the democrats saying no. we don't want to. the people of this country elected us to work. it is time the democrats got to work. stop with the partisanship. stop focusing on 2020. you listen, brian, it's like, you know, irving around here is focused on 2020 and the democrats running for president. they need to do their jobs right now. brian: all right. the youngest guy there. you are the youngest person at 38 years old. you already have day one in

every enemy we have had since 9/11. he has fought taliban and al qaeda. last year in mosul he was charged with clearing isis from the iraqi city. the president has claimed success in defeating isis. can you draw a direct line from that success to my brother who led one of the most successful platoons in miss siewl to clear ice sis in iraq. they are one of the most indesvictim mat enemies that we have. people like eddie we send there to fight them. did he that successfully, and he comes back months later a couple guys make up stories about what happened he is stripped of all of his rights and stripped of all of his due process and thrown in jail. today i'm very happy and honored that you have us on the show to tell us about this man being unfairly and unjustly tweet treated. we are bleeding with whoever we can talk to for help. steve: sean, yo, you say your

brother when he was runnings platoon just pushing them too hard they couldn't take it and according to an op-ed you wrote you said that if they could get rid of him mutt the squeeze on them and get them to retire their careers would be saved. >> yes. you have to understand in the navy seals reputation is everything. the confidence in the man next to you is as big as currency as can you get. two guys on last deployment buckled under his leadership. my brother called them out for being cowards in combat. you have to realize not being able to take the fight to the enemy in a battle when you are fighting isis is dangerous. it puts men's' lives at risk. my brother reprimanded them. when they got back, they were so afraid and embarrassed 'what would hatch to their careers and reputations that months later, and i can't stress this enough, they didn't report it at the time. they didn't report it when they got back. months after they got back, they spun up stories to try to get my brother under investigation so they could

skate by. steve: sean, i have got to ask you about the specific charges though. >> sure. steve: your brother is accused of premeditated murder. the way you tell the story is this isis fighter had already been shot and your brother was trying to revive him and now people are saying that he killed a guy who was about to die? >> yes. again, i can't stress this enough. every headline that you hear in this story is it's a con coxz from these two people. every slander is worse. it's ridiculous at the outset that an isis fighter who is part of a team who was using a compound that was shelled. all of them died but one. he had a sucking chest wound and severed artery. my brother and a couple her navy seals were working to revive him so they could later interrogate him. he dies of existing wounds. my brother is accused of helping an already dying

fighter die and is he in prison. steve: charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault. related offenses. the navy put out a statement sean that reads no additional information is available at this time regarding the scheduling of gallagher's court martial or other pre-trial hearings. so you are saying he didn't do any of that stuff, all these stories were win ginsd upy people on his team. in that game of thrones style battle with isis? >> yes. and the thing is, too. the thing that makes us so frustrated and infuriated as the a family, there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that clears my brother that exxonner rates him from all of these charges. there are two iraqi generals who say they were there at the incident and this never happened there are multiple of his teammates who literally say they saw this isis fighter breathe his last breath from injuries sustained from shelling in a compound. we know these guys making these accusations and that they are made up.

at every stage of this process, my family has been perplexed at why prosecutors have abused their authority are in going to after a decorated warrior. my brother has spent eight christmases away from our family fighting for freedom. spent ninth in jail ripped of his rights as an american citizen. we are pleading today for help from the people and from the president of the united states to come to our aid. steve: look at that asking for the president to help out. sean gallagher, making the case for his brother eddy. thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: we will keep you posted what happens with the arraignment later today. meanwhile a new sketch by police as manhunt intensifies for little girl's killer. how two sports stars are stepping up to help her family. plus, the media gushing over nancy pelosi when she gets the gavel back. >> nancy pelosi made a triumphant return to power. today belongs to her as a triumphant pelosi and her party take over the house.

sarah palin or anyone accomplishes a big political task. >> i think rather than attempt to make nancy pelosi seem young, cool, and relevant again so they have to hype up this love fest, they do the same thing with hillary clinton. it didn't work. they are never going to have this love for republican women but i guess that just means that republican women, they don't need the hype. they are cool on their own. we know that nancy, elizabeth warren, hillary clinton they could certainly use it. so more power to them. brian: seemed like the media was -- people are writing she is now the equal of the president of the united states. steve: that's what she said. meanwhile, tomi, new york magazine had a headline, american exceptionalism is a dangerous myth. went on to say in the column the exceptionist narrative is most dangerous for the way it implies that assertions of american power on the world stapling should be presumed well intentioned until proven otherwise. relatedly the myth of

american exceptionalism functions as rationale for the townhouse subordinate international law to its own enlightened judgment. they write. what say you? full stop. >> the left is never going to understand american exceptionalism because they don't believe in american exceptionalism. i don't believe about you guys i believe we live in the greatest nation for the rest of the world. beaming light for the list everyday world. for those who feel otherwise there are 195 other countries so i suggest they go pick one. brian: other thing that's important to point out as you know, environmentalists have targeted the straw, not the sippy cup. the straw. steve: the plastic straw. brian brian you are right, steve, i stand corrected. now there is a big movement to go after meat. in fact, the headline reads something like this from buzzfeed the environmental cost of eating meeting turning people into veganism, here is what you need to know about eating beef in 2019.

>> of course they goal after everything that brings us joy in life and they take joy in taking joy. i live in california. many other states are doing it as well with the banning of plastic straws. now we have to use those flimsy thing. now they are coming for meat. someone born and raised in south dakota, i can tell you not going to be happy about it furthermore as you read into the article and read the rationale behind this, they believe that cow flat lens is a cause of climate change and they want to limit that if we would all stop eating meat they can limit the cow flat lens. that is how far the left has gone they want to regulate cow farts. jedediah: ban american exceptionalism. great plan from the american democrats. brian: theory is if you don't eat cows we won't have cow us therefore there won't be. steve: it's a methane thing. tomi, thank you very much.

♪ brian: the nfl playoffs are kicking off this weekend wild card weekend ratings are rising in the nfl. they are up 5%. snapping a two-year slide. jedediah: the increase comes as the national anthem protests largely faded from view as fewer players took a knee. could there be a correlation here? steve: let's talk to former super bowl champ and author of the book why i stand available everywhere. burgess owens. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning, guys how are you doing. >> doing okay. steve: why have have two years of nfl ratings going down. why are they now going up? >> well, it is going up because americans do what we do best. we move on. we move on and build our lives and build our future and live the american dream. what we have to remember and this is, i think, the biggest take away from the last two years, we are in the fight for the heart and soul of our nation. we fight for our americans, the judy deo christian

values and fighting against an evil force of socialism and marxism that destroy everything they come close. to say the nfl has been changed forever. people don't realize. this there used to be a place we come together, no matter what our political persuasion was and unity because the god, country and family. the marxists and socialists have made this so we have young people coming out of these environments, they are anti-american, they are antiwhite, they are anti-capitalists and is that true message that now is going around the world and throughout our communities that this is a place that's not for black americans. that's what accomplished the last three years. brian: the nfl stopped hearing the national anthem and still push back since collin kaepernick. rihanna decided not to do the halftime show and sharpton african-american rapper not june mooner five during halftime. not out of the woods yesterday. you alluded to socialism and marxism hurting the black community in what way?

>> we have been on attack for 100 years. it's an ideology that is actually as evil as it comes. it destroys our belief in god. as you look at the american black community commitment to marriage and commitment to education, to entrepreneurship. when i was growing up that has turned totally upside down because we have these black elitists, particularly, the one you just mentioned care less about our communities. they care about their profits and profitability and their prestige. and that's what elitists do. that's what socialists do. they tell us about the american -- that the black community if there would we wouldn't be in the mess we are today. jedediah: in your book "why i stand" from freedom to the killing fields of socialism. what is your inspiration for this? what do you hope people get out of your book? >> i have watched as i have grown up the impact of these socialists. our greatest enemy is not white supremacists. it's black elitists.

those who live the american dream, who get a job for $100,000 a year as politicians and come as multimillionaires. they portray and they -- they betray their own base the people who believe in them, they gin them up to get their ideology in place. i hope people get this book and read it all about education. education. thomas jefferson we need to educate ourselves or else we will fight guys for the heart and soul of our country. we fight that by knowing hot enemy is it's socialists marxist that destroy our country. steve: the book called "why i stand" burgess owens it's available at amazon and barnes & noble.com. thank you for joining us today. brian: straight ahead, president trump set to meet with lawmakers at the white house today as a partial government shutdown enters day 14. what can we expect? sarah sanders with us live.

closely at the end of her speech. steve: on the hot mike you can see at the very conclusion she called up all the children and grandchildren. her grandchildren are right there and she gravels in and swore in the brand new freshman class and all the other members. it was a good speech though. jedediah: it was perhaps one of the most interesting parts of the speech for me. she wasn't quotin was quoting rd reagan. >> what president reagan said in his last speech as president of the united states he said if we ever close the door to new americans our leadership role in the world will soon be lost. our common cause is to find and forge a way forward for our country. let us stand for the people to promote liberty and justice for all and always, always keep our nation safe from threats old and new from terrorism and cyber warfare overseas and here at home. that is the oath we take.

[applause] >> to protect and defend. brian: i don't think ronald reagan was or anybody was ever talking about stopping immigrants from coming. in the whole issue is illegal immigrants. jedediah: right. brian: it's not immigration. we love immigration. we are a nation of immigrants. i was watching jed, pete hegseth's feature on ellis island. that's where we used to do it. used to come in. a series of questions. make sure you weren't going to -- who you were, where you were, what your intentions were. did you plan on having a job? were you going to be borrowed or help to american society. and they knew how to categorize you. jedediah: president reagan a little history lesson for nancy gave in on amnesty because he thought he would get border security out of it. steve: never happen again. jedediah: one-time deal and had that tweet from michael reagan a few weeks back his son president trump, my father gave in on amnesty with the hope of border security and we are still waiting for it if anything, the lesson would be opposite that when you came to democrats and you say, you know what? i will give you an inch and take a while and never get

that border security. steve: big question is at this meeting the president has convened at 11:30 this morning, with nancy and chuck, provided they do come and show up, will they be able to get off the mark? right now, at the conclusion of the day on congress yesterday they passed two funding bills. one funds most of the stuff closed through the balance of the fiscal year through september. the other a narrow part of the government that funds department of homeland security. the republicans have a problem with that because there is not any money for the wall. the big question is now that nancy pelosi has been elected speaker of the house will she have some negotiating leverage over her freshman class and other very progressive members of her caucus to go ahead and make a deal with republicans or will she be inflexible and simply say i'm not going to give a dime for that darn wall? brian: look at senator richard shelby yesterday. he predicted yesterday that the shutsdown could last for months and months.

and mark zansdy weighed in too of moody analytics. if he does that even though it's a scaled down shutdown they will do some real damage to the economy. you are looking at affecting about 800,000, about 420,000 of the workers affected are classified as essential. about 380,000 federal workers have been furloughed. the mail will be delivered. the military will be funded. law enforcement, entitlement programs are pretty much unaffected. steve: a lot of people don't feel it. so ultimately the question becomes will the democrats go ahead and within nancy's case cave to something they feel is immoral. that's what she said yesterday. chuck schumer said a wall would be mid evil or is it simply the democrats want to do one thing. and that is to chip away at donald trump until he is dead. jedediah: a lot of these democrats, remember, they supported funding for border security. this is a political fight. they know these appropriation bills are not going to get through the senate. the question is what are they focused on. senator josh hawley said the

democrats are focused on 2020 and not actually on the job at hand. take a listen. >> this is all about pure politics. i mean, the people of this country sent a message in 2016, 2018, they want results, brian. they want the border secure. they want folks to actually get something done in washington. it is time the democrats got to work stop with the partisanship, stop focusing on 2020. everybody around here is focused on 2020, the democrats running for president. they need to do their jobs right now. brian: by the way in recent months, according to brandon judd. illegal crossings have risen to 2,000 per day. please explain to me how that is not a crisis. he is going to be with us at about 7:15. jedediah: just a quick stat for the audience, $5 billion that he is asking for the wall is approximately .12% of the 4.1 trillion-dollar budget. we are talking about a very small amount of money. democrats would find this money in five seconds if it involved entitlements or involved something that they cared about. more funding for the u.n. which by the way is in their

appropriation bills or more funding for outside locations this is not a priority for them and that's what they're making clear to the american people. steve: what will the president do? he will listen to the democrats who come to the white house today. will he say okay, i will vote for that one. i'm going to veto that one or will he veto both of them? we don't know at this point. but, nonetheless, what we have heard from lindsey graham, who is the senator from the great state of south carolina, he says if the president gives in on this wall funding, it is the end of his presidency effectively at that point. brian: regardless of what you think of people coming through illegally. how about this? are we all against hair win? 90% of wholesale heroin seized by law enforcement in the united states comes through mexico. 300 americans in 2017 per week die because of heroin addiction/overdose. meanwhile, at seven minutes after the hour. that wasn't all that was buzzing on capitol hill yesterday. jedediah: that's right. democrats took power

yesterday. brian: and they had something they will wanted to do. steve: a lot. listen. spend all my time trying to get subpoenas and try to investigate. i'm not going to do that. [inaudible] >> americans elected an authoritarian anti-immigrant racist strawman to the nation's highest office. much like hitler took over the nazi party, trump has taken over the republican party. >> when your son looks at you and says momma loves you, bullies don't win. i said baby they don't. we will go in there and we are going to [bleep] [cheers] >> democrats are coming in with little to no civility. they are coming in talking about impeachment from which they have been talking about since the day trump got elected. they are talking about stopping a border wall that would protect our national security and be a stoppage to human and drug trafficking that sounds like a really positive start for

them. steve: right. in addition to those sound bites that you heard yesterday, according to the hill.com, 22 new members of congress at one point in their careers either were in the military or worked for the cia. down in florida, you know brian mast lost both of his legs serving our nation. yesterday, he tweeted an image of him and two incoming congressman on the left you see indiana republican jim baird. he is 73 years old. he lost his left arm in vietnam and screen right is dan crenshaw who has been on this show, 34 years old. a navy seal. he lost an eye in afghanistan. jedediah: and the tweet says five eyes, five arms, four legs, all-american. welcome to congress. congressman jim baird and congressman dan crenshaw. such an inspiring message when you see these people who have served our country and what they have done for

us. brian: i think it's great democrat and republican when you serve in the military i love that you are out there becoming lawmakers afterwards. steve: right. in addition to so many vets, a record number of women now serving in the u.s. congress. all right. so the 116th congress is off. brian: speaking of women. jillian meally is here. have you an update for us. jillian: that's right. good morning. this is something you talked about earlier this morning. let's get you at home updated. decorated navy seal facing court-martial this morning for the murder of an isis fighter in iraq. edward gallagher facing multiple charges including premeditated murder. his brother, sean gallagher joined us earlier saying all of the charges are part of a smear campaign. >> compound was shelled by iraqi special forces and coalition forces. they have killed a swath of isis fighters. one survived. it was this guy. a 17-year-old isis fighter who they found with a huge machine gun and, yeah, and then they brought him to a compound to save him to treat him and interrogate him and he dies.

when he comes back months later a couple guys make up stories about what happened. jillian: chief gallagher denies all charges. if convicted he could spend the rest of his life in prison. one of mass murder charles manson's followers now recommended for pick and roll. handing down a proposal for robert for the first time after spending nearly half a century behind bars. panel previously rejecting parole 18 other times. he was convicted for murdering musicians gary henman in 18969. the 71-year-old was not involved in the man son family killings of actress sharon tate and six others that same year. president trump holding the v.a. accountable for delaying gi bill payments to thousands of our veterans. the president signing the second of two bills which will create a team to audit housing payments made to veterans. the first bill barred schools from penalizing veterans over delayed payments. the va came under fire after new gi bill system underwent

get the word out to the american public how he can secure the border. steve: one thing very clear when listening to the rhetoric from washington, d.c., brandon, a number of democrats, all democrats in congress to my belief have said seawall immoral and line up behind nancy pelosi's comments like that or chuck schumer it's mid evil. it does not work. but the white house and the men and women of the border patrol feel that what is going on on our southern border is a crisis and that needs to be addressed. >> when we have a bigger crisis now than what we did in 2014. so, when you look at that and you say okay, what is it that we can do to actually keep people from physically entering the country illegally. and you have to say walls and fences actually work. and so that's the message that we are trying to get out to people. we are the ones who actually control the border and see what is and what is not effective. we are telling congress if

this is in fact effective. you know, who are these experts that you are quoting that is saying fences don't work. they are absolutely wrong. it's proven, we know it. steve: brandon, i can't think of any time in the history of the department of home land security where front linemen and women like you went to the white house and showed up to make public statements about how you needed a particular part of the legislation to be voted upon. >> well, again, when you look at this, i wish that people could understand that i have no dog in this fight other than i want border security. i have had the opportunity to speak with the president on multiple occasions. and i wish that they understood that all he wants is for this country to be safe and secure. he is working for the american people. this has nothing to do with politics. it has everything to do with his desire to secure this country. when he comes to the front

line men and women. this is the first president that's ever done that most presidents they talk to the theoretical knowledge. those that sit behind desks. this president has come to the front linemen and women and they have told him this is exactly what we need and this is what works. steve: this not theoretical with you for the government shutdown. you are not getting paid, are you. >> i'm not. in fact i worked christmas morning. i didn't see my family when they woke up christmas morning. come saturday of next week i will not receive a paycheck and even though i'm not going to receive a paycheck i 100 percent support this shutdown because it's that important. the american public have spoken they want border security. the only way we can get border security is if we put the proper measures in place and the wall is support of that. steve: let's see what happens. it's that meeting at 11:30 this morning. brandon judd. thank you very much. sir. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, straight ahead, the media says nancy pelosi is going to make president trump's life a living nightmare. >> most powerful woman in

show and hash it out with them it's nonstop one way on those shows. it's just ridiculous. speaker pelosi that was the best line i have heard about her ever, okay, was from her daughter where she said she can -- my mom can cut your head off and you don't even realize it that's how ruthless she is. you had to bet on her being the speaker brian brian will this be the worst year. >> i do admire her for one thing when the chips were down and you needed her on thontarf situation she came across the aisle. steve: she and chuck schumer coming over to the white house talking about reopening the government the presidency has already made clear probably going to veto that if there is no wall funding. she said a wall is immoral. so if she gave any money she would be caving. >> i think it's bad for both sides to be honest. one side being it's immoral and cave and now they look immoral and other side

saying we are not budging and $5 billion number and looking at the entire totality of the government and watching the volatility in the stock market. jewels send a message to my buddies inside the white house, the stock market is tied to psychology investor psychology and ceo and deployment of capital psychology in the country. when you doing this sort of nonsense inside of washington and the president would probably say as a private citizen here at the trump organization looking at this nonsense hey what are you doing? cut did out. cut a deal. let's create a compromise keep the economy going. it's like we are up 28-0 in the fourth quarter of the national championship and now it's 28-21 for no reason. we have unbelievable situation in the country president trade deals. operated on a policy of deregulation and in many ways like the op-ed i wrote at the beginning part of the week he has been quite bipartisan. look at the prison reform deal and deal he did to improve the technical training for the federal

workers. got passed 98-1 in the senate president has a lot of bipartisan things on the table and great successes. hey, guys, let's drop the ego and cut a deal here for the sake of the country. >> the question is how do you compromise in the president promised people a wall. it was his chief campaign promises for years. it's one the reenkts he won arguably because he placed immigration first and foremost. you have democrats coming to the table. they are saying absolutely no wall. nancy pelosi thinks it's funny talking about oh we will give him a dollar. >> they are making a big joke of it not taking human trafficking and drug trafficking seriously. how do you bring these two sides together on that. >> somebody like rand paul said there is discretionary spending in parts of the government or perhaps even in the military that can help the president find his money for the wall. so, i think the president when i think about his political career, as sure as it is is he like a human swiss army knife. he will pull something out of the toolbox there to get himself a wall. let's compromise now, get

the government back open and let's stabilize these markets. there is no reason to be going through this right now. it's very, very bad for investors. let me tell you what happens. ceos and look around say the government is a complete disaster. let me slow down my capital investment spending and all of a sudden you start to seat jobs. it's not a necessary thing to do to the country right now over $5 billion. steve: comes out one hour from now. >> jobs data right now is quite good. and i think the biggest thing you could say about 2018 is wages at the bottom part of the country actually went up. the president should be explaining to speaker pelosi at 11:30 this morning closing the border helping american citizens. taking all that slack out of labor market. that's great for america. you need border security. brian: build the fence or boulevard the wall that would help, too. >> it would. i'm hoping they get a compromise today. and apple because i don't

apple but i don't like the market activity that's true. steve: thank you very much. brian: i don't remember permission to give him a nickname. steve: you can call him mooch. brian: kevin mccarthy handing nancy pelosi the gavel. will they be able to work together in the house? we will ask him that directly. hopefully he will answer. steve: you just saw that mooch punched me. you know the movie shawshank redemption part of it just happened in real life. brian: the prison break? ♪ i work hard to protect this tookus. to take care of any messy situations. and put irritation in its place. and if i can get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected... you can get comfortable doing the same with yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it.

[laughter] >> a dollar? $1? yeah, $1. >> usual he said a dollar. he said a dollar. so that's not your question. you said a dollar. the president wants to cut a deal. >> a wall is immorality. steve: ready to partially fund the border wall to the tune of a buck. brian: kevin mccarthy he joins us now the house minority leader. mr. leader, congratulations on the ascension. i know you would rather be in the majority. but, nancy pelosi doesn't seem like she is budging. how does this end? >> well, we are going to have to find compromise. one thing you have to see with the vote yesterday for speaker, you realize why nancy has not been serious about any offer. all the members voted against her and number of members that had to abstain to lower the threshold so she could become speaker. we had another meeting at the white house today. i hope they come back with a serious offer this time.

but, as you see from that press, this is really her shutdown because she wants to shut the government down for that point. jedediah: talk to me a little bit about the compromise. spoke to anthony scaramucci they have to compromise u i don't see it when you have the president making jokes about a dollar for the border wall. ha ha ha when they are not taking drug trafficking and human trafficking seriously and putting appropriation bills up that they don't know can't get past the senate let alone the president. where do you find compromise with two sides. >> it's difficult at times. think about what the democrats are voted on numerous times before. they have voted for wall and fencing on a number of occasions even at a higher number. look at what's happening in california when they put a wall up in san diego. 95% improvement el paso or huma. we know it works. part of an overall plan for border security. brought this up in our meeting in the white house to nancy before.

officer singh lost his life. that individual -- where was that individual going after he shot officer singh? on his way to mexico and picked up in our district thanks to our sheriff who was picked him up before he left. that's why we need border security and that's why we are standing with this president. steve: that officer's brother is going to be joining brian in the next hour here on the program. leader mccarthy though, when you mentioned the meeting at the white house a couple days ago, you were in attendance, so were chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. and kirstjen nielsen was beamed in, the secretary of the department of homeland security, they only let her talk about 10 seconds. then cut her off. didn't want to talk about border security. they wanted to talk about reopenings the government and politics. >> it was very embarrassing because we were asked to come down to have a briefing. we went to the situation room a room in there just to talk about the crisis, what is happening on the border right now. they would not even let the

secretary speak. they interrupted her right away. and then finally, when she was able to interject and bring a few facts up, they didn't agree with the facts. they said that's not true. i mean, i have never seen anything like it. they were playing politics and this is where the president was so good. he turned and looked and said, you know what? let's meet on friday after your election because it doesn't seem like you could actually be serious. hopeful today they can be a serious offer. brian: at 11:30. didn't take long for brad sherman. congressman sherman to bring up articles of impeachment. >> you see what their real motive is not only bring up articles of impeachment, look at the brand new elected congresswoman and her language of what she said to her son in a rally that she thought was private last night. their whole focus here is to try to attack this president while we are trying to move america forward. look, i can work with anybody that wants to move america forward. but when they are just going to play these type of games, you will find this to be very strong on the other

side and stand um for what's right with this country and this president. steve: all right. he is the minority leader of the 116th congress. >> i like to refer to as republican leader. steve: set republican leader of the 116th congress. will. jedediah: thanks for being here. brian: getting used to the new titles. 21 minutes before the top of the hour. jillian you are our leader for the moment. jillian: am i. brian: will you take the reigns. >> yes i will gladly. russian lawyer for american accused of spying in russia has applied for bail. paul whelan an exmarine is being detained in moscow on charges. neither russia or the u.s. has made any suggestion of arch exchange. whelan's case follows closely behind maria, a russian activist who pleaded guilty to acting as an illegal foreign agent in the u.s. american flags hung on a massachusetts overpass to honor veterans are found

brian: the trump administration works to end the war in afghanistan, you will vice president mike pence says a withdrawal of troops is under active consideration he tells tucker last night. >> the president is in the process of evaluating options of an 18 year conflict in afghanistan and determining what our best

options are in terms of putting america first, protecting america's interest in the region and making sure we can confront terrorism and less of a military commitment and see those resources and troops coming home. brian: when is one ever the big questions. douglas served as an advisor and team leader for southwest in afghanistan. and just returned to the states in november. and he joins us in studio to react. i know, colonel, you are still. in talk about policy. it's great to see you again. >> thank you. brian: i know you have to sacrifice a lot giving up your wife and family toll do it. feel terrible it's taken 17 years. you are the one -- people like you are the ones who are sacrificing. what's the situation? >> so, what i can telltale is you our presence there working with our afghan security counterparts is essential. i had a great working relationship. each of the times that i have gone as an advisor to

afghanistan, we got a lot of ungoverned there in the afghan security forces are working to provide security and stability in those areas. brian: colonel, are they getting better? are they learning to stand up on their own? >> so have you got to look at this. i mean, they have been in the lead of this fight since 2014. when the predominantly most of the u.s. forces pulled out. at the height of the war we had 140,000 approximately 140,000 u.s. combat troops there, approximately 100,000 of afghan security forces. looking over 300,000 and air force and conducting these operations with the u.s. advisors' support. i would say they are getting better. brian: getting better. not there yet. we know, this too. there is about 15,000 americans over there, right? >> that's correct. brian: the president is talking about taking half out. can't talk about policy. >> correct. >> president is always thinking about you guys. and is he very impatient like many people and maybe yourself with the war. here's what he said the

other day i gave the generals all the money they end wanted they didn't do a great job in afghanistan. we spent in afghanistan more than most countries spent. i go to walter reed hospitals and i see soldiers that are so badly injured and hurt. i don't want that i want to rebuild our country. and i want to spend money on our military. brian: do you understand that sentiments and what's your reaction? >reaction? so i have got to look at this from two different lenses. you have to understand as a professional military officer, civilian oversight, you know then there is the emotional side that's, there is a lot of us, you know, not just as a country but as individuals that have gone forward to afghanistan and have provided security there and have done a lot of work there. you know, that said, you know, while i can't comment on national policy, what i can tell you is that what each of our security forces as american security forces have done in afghanistan has been absolutely beneficial and i believe has done a

great job towards the security in afghanistan. brian: what do you say to people well it's 6,000 miles away. why do we care about fighting over there. >> yeah, i can understand. that is like i mentioned about ungoverned space, there is ungoverned space there. so i would submit that what we do there has a direct correlation to what happens here. and that is our forces there working with afghan security forces that are in the lead are protecting the homeland. brian: and do you believe -- what happens if we leave? >> well, i can't even speculate what would happen if we leave. but what can i say is that, you know, the afghan security forces that i worked with in helmand province have been taken the fight to the taliban have. been winning the tac tactical engagements and i believe they will continue to do so. brian: do you feel appreciated. >> i do. can i say i feel appreciated as our friendship continued but, yeah, i mean -- brian: you should. because we appreciate you

and beyond fox i hope you feel that in this country. he joined the army in 1985. switched to the marines in 1991 and still serving today. and you and your whole family have been sacrificing for this country. great to see you colonel. >> great to see. brian: glad you are back and okay. coming up straight ahead, a new freshman congresswoman was pretty straightforward about her thoughts about the president. >> we're going to go in there and we are going to [bleep] [cheers] brian: white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders joins us with her reaction to that. gas prices are plunging so it's time to hit the road. we have some of the hottest gas guzzlers. there are no electric cars out there. who would have thought ♪ 55 ♪

house again yesterday. now that she is speaker, will she have flexibility. will she budge off her stance that the wall is immoral? brian: maybe i'm hopelessly optimistic. but she had this job before. she knows what it is like to get stuff done and she knows what it is like not to get stuff done. to work as hard as she did, to get the majority, get the position, consolidate power to regain it, why would she do it just to block everything? steve: because donald trump is the president. brian: she can take credit for compromise and accomplishments and make the best case for getting senate next two years. jedediah: she would have to give trump the capacity to take credit and she certainly doesn't want to do that. steve: preview of coming attractions, from the white house sarah sanders the press secretary joins us. >> good morning. steve: people are looking in. now that you're hopeful nancy pelosi reelected speaker she is ready to make a deal?

the president doesn't want to do again. he knows he needs border security to stop that and prevent that from happening. he will not back down from it. brian: officer singh's brother will be with us lighter on in the show if you guys could be watching. i'm sure if you could be watching i'm sure they appreciate that phone call. nancy pelosi keeps saying putting up a wall, putting up a friends is a immoral. is she removing 650 miles of fence there right now? when did putting up a fence become immoral? >> that is a great question. i wonder if she will go on a crusade to take down all the fences and walls across this country? i'm sure i hope not. people have them around their homes, institutions have them, the vatican, anywhere else will not be real happy with the fact nancy pelosi is calling their walls and their security immoral. it has never been immoral to protect people. in fact the it is the absolute first duty that the president

and congress is to protect the american people. we know that it is effective. in fact we know in this country, in the places it has been put in, it is 95% effective stopping illegal immigration coming across this bothered. this not just about stopping people coming across. it is about stopping terrorists coming across. stopping drugs flowing across the border of our country. last year alone there were nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists cpb picked up on our southern border. over 20,000 adults that were arrested that had prior charges. this isn't about political talking points that nancy pelosi is making this a political issue. this is a protection issue. she has to get serious about protecting people of this country. jedediah: it is really important for the president to have border patrol agents around him yesterday getting this message across. we had brandon judd border

patrol council president on say he supports the wall for border security. >> absolutely. the meeting the president had was so important, so impactful, wasn't because this is something people want, people on the very front lines say that they need. that is what we heard from them yesterday. steve: right. >> that was the message we tried to communicate to leadership when they met earlier this week. however they were very uninterested in listening and continued to interrupt the department of homeland security secretary over and over as she tried to present this information that they have put together based on what the people on the front lines, whether i.c.e. or cpb have said they need to protect this country. steve: let's hope more is able, more dialogue today, rather a lot of interruptions. here is a snippet of brandon judd yesterday in the briefing room. >> we're the ones who actually patrol the border. we're the ones who actually see what is and what is not effective and we're telling congress -- i have no dog in this fight other than i want

border security. even though i'm not going to receive a paycheck i 100% this shutdown because it is that important. the american public has spoken. they want border security. and the only way that we can get border security if we put proper measures in place, the wall is part of that. steve: that was brandon judd on our program just a little while ago. sarah, let me ask you this, two bills passed by the house of representatives last night. one would fund most of the government through september. the other one, funding narrow of the department of homeland security. is president ready to veto both of them? >> look the president has been clear those are nonstarters. we have to have border security. the fact that nancy pelosi put more for foreign aid, $54 billion in foreign aid in the funding bill but refused to help protect our own country that is pathetic. that is something that has to change. the president has been very clear about that from the beginning. brian: one thing has to concern

the president, two republicans who seem to reopen the government, senator cory gardner, says we should pass a continuing resolution to pass government open. senate done it last congress. we should do it today. susan collins, similar sentiment. will the president reach out to the two republicans? >> he is is certainly open to talking to them. they have been great partners on a number of fronts but the president wants border security. we can't keep continue kicking the can down the road. there is no reason we shouldn't be able to sit down and address this open the government back up. when we do, make sure we're protecting people in this country. jedediah: you know, sarah, democrats seem to be instead of focusing on securing the border, this focused on impeaching trump. you have a complete lack of civility coming out from certain locations of the democratic party. representative rashid today talib talk about impeaching son. >> when your son looks at you, bullies don't win, baby they doesn't. because we're going in there.

we'll teach them all a [bleep]- [cheering] brian: the crowd roared. what is. jedediah: what is your reaction to that? >> you will not impeach this president when he had two of the most successful years any president had in the modern history. the only they come after this president because they know they can't beat us. can't beat him when it comes to policy debate. won't beat i am when it comes to 2020. they have no solutions for america. people are sick and tired of playing politics. they want them to come to washington to work with the president to get something done. they want the economy to grow. they want to continue to see job creation skyrocket. they want to continue to see the judiciary remade, the defeat of isis. they want our borders closed and protecterred and these individuals to actually come to help the president, not to fight him. that is not what america is looking for. that is not the goodness of our country. i hope some of these new faces that campaigned on being different and being a change,

will actually come here to work with the president, work for solutions work to help the american people, not to help their own political careers. steve: i think we're all hopeful of that. exit question for you, sarah. how long is the president willing to have the government partially be shut down over the wall? >> the president has been clear that he wants border security and until he gets it we'll have to stay in a shutdown. that is not what he wants. steve: could be months, right? >> let's hope not. let's hope democrats will get serious about doing their jobs and work with the president. he is willing to negotiate. he made that clear. he stayed here over the holidays in order to try to do that, even more so. and we're hopeful that today in this meeting at 11:30, maybe democrats will come with a new sense of purpose and a sense of problem solving and not partisan political attacks. jedediah: you're optimistic but we'll see. steve: sarah sanders. happy new year, thank you for joining us. >> happy new year, great to be

family and five-year-old son, happened on december 26th. in terms of your family's story, what brought you to this country? >> so my grandmother and granddad they have been here in america for a while. they sponsored us. ron and i, my parents decided for us to, migrate to america, to have a better leaving opportunity, get the education and, basically for ron to become a police officer. brian: to fight to bring law and order to america, a country that, that you can now call your own. police chief, for you, this is something you never experienced before. how have you been dealing with it, you and the others on the force? >> it has been a difficult time. we've had our ups and downs. we've had some tremendous support from local agencies helping us out. so we've been able to come

closer as a family and spend a little bit of time together, leading up to the services. brian: chief, if you don't mind me saying so, every death is a tragedy. we know it happens on the roads every day. we know sadly, it happens domestic situations but when you hear about illegal imigrans with a criminal record here illegally the word keeps popping into my head is preventable. what about you? >> absolutely it was preventable if you listen to the words that have been spoken and this job is becoming harder and harder for us to do. we're being handcuffed by policies and laws and this was a preventable tragedy that, if we were able to turn this suspected killer over to immigration, we wouldn't be sitting here having this interview right now.

brian: we wouldn't. reggie, looking at video, first time i was seeing it i was reading it, glancing down, as we see the video of your brother with his son, what goes through your mind? >> it breaks my heart. ron wanted the baby. ron was very into outdoors. so he wanted the son to start moving around, walking around asap so he could take him outdoors. he was waiting for the son to walk, talk, and it breaks my heart he will never be able to see that. brian: he won't. the president called, i guess, understands the magnitude of the situation as well as anybody. it has been a issue since the day he went down the escalator. i understand he called you yesterday? >> so i did not talk to the president but ron's wife did talk to the president. i don't have details to it but according to her she had a good

conversation with mr. trump. brian: that he called yesterday. so, frank, i don't know how you do it. you were just out in california. every time something like this happens with a police officer, you have military background, you were there on 9/11. we know what your brother went through as firefighter, running through the tunnel to get into the tower, did not survive. what was it like going to california and what is the tunnel to towers foundation looking to do? >> first of all, visiting with the family and chief, it was heartwrenching what the family is going through. they came here legally. we want to step up to greatness of america. come together. go to tunnel to towers.org. we want to pay off their mortgage. we're $50,000 short. we hopefully in one week, today a couple thousand people go to our web site, tunnel to towers.org we could come back

real soon, we've taken care of the family, sacrificed everything. came here to live to the american dream. show the greatness of america. brian: especially the police chief. you're saying how hard the job is. every day rules and regulations public sentiment make it more difficult. then you lose one of your own. you see surviving families. you see frank reaching out. you reached 250,000, correct? >> correct. brian: you need 300,000? >> yes, that is the number. brian: reggie, what would it mean not to have the mortgage bill and mourning, recovery process, not have to worry about the mortgage? what would it mean for your brother's family. >> it means a lot. it means a lot to ron's family. before coming over here, a message from ron's wife, she would like to thank tunnel to tower, frank, your team. it's a huge relieve. unfortunately bills still need to be paid and this means a lot.

it means a lot to lon and his family. and a huge thank you to the team. brian: we're almost there. >> tunnels to towers. brian: that's great. we're almost there. hopefully "fox & friends" put you over the top and other people listening on line, on radio. chief, don't feel like it's dark. we got your back especially here at fox and law enforcement around the country. chief randy richardson, thanks so much. reggie, thanks for sharing your story in honor of your brother. frank, always good to see you. let us know how you're progressing. >> absolutely. brian: you're welcome. more "fox & friends" in just a moment.

fox news alert. look at the number. the december jobs report releases just four minutes ago. 312,000 jobs were added last month. that is more than what economists had predicted. brian: unemployment rate is now 3.9%. that is actually up from november. don't ask me how that math is done. i mean the job report, the job report is great. wonder how the market will digest that? steve: hopefully after the big selloff, that is good. that is a blowout number. "wall street journal" surveyed economists, they were thinking if we were lucky we would add 176,000 jobs. instead we added 312,000. it is solid cap of a year surprisingly frenetic employment. i was just reading in "the new york times," employers added more jobs in the first 11 months of 2008 than they did in all of 2017 is. now with that number added to it, that is quite an accomplishment.

jedediah: so fascinating to me always how people refuse to give president trump credit for anything and when these economic numbers pop up, i wait an sigh who will actually acknowledge that whether you like his character and not, people calling for impeachment, take a minute, look for the reason why people voted for him. this is why. they elected a businessman. they wanted him to go in there, immigration and economy. on both of those issues he is is standing strong. brian: what worries economists most is is the world economy. more about the rest of the world and the strength of the dollar makes it, believe it or not tougher, in fact. the president wanted to get the dollar stronger. he made it extremely strong. imagine if he comes within the 90-day window, reconfiguration, realignment with the chinese trade deal. steve: china's economy was heading south when donald trump was elected. iphone sales over there was to be expected. gigantic selloff yesterday in apple. the question to your point, what

did donald trump do during his first two years? his supporters would say he got rid of a lot of regulations, tax cuts. that is why so many people are hiring more people. jedediah: that is exactly right. which he doesn't get enough credit for. remember, i always point to why he won and followed through on campaign promises. fixing economy, getting unemployment numbers down, border wall, two issues he has not abandoned. you see some of the results. brian: jillian, when did you get hired here? jillian: i got hired april of '17. brian: '17. you added to the employment force. jillian: i was employed before that. brian: you were never jobless. jillian: now that we got that cleared up. let's talk about news we're following starting with this, a decorated navy seal faces court-martial for murder of isis fighter in iraq. special operations chief edward gallagher is facing multiple

charges included premeditated murder. his brother sean gallagher says all of the charges are part of a smear campaign. >> a compound was shelled by iraqi special forces and coalition forces. they killed a swath of isis fighters. one survived, 17-year-old isis fighter who they found with huge machine gun. they brought him to compound to treat him, interrogate him. he died. when he comes back months later, a couple guys make up stories about what happened. jillian: chief gallagher denies all charges. he is expected to plead not guilty today. if convicted he could spend the rest of his life in prison. georgia is suing several opioid manufacturers and distributors over the growing opioid crisis effects on the state's citizens. the state attorney general says they performed deseparate is tiff marketing practices to profit from user addictions. last year 541 million doses of opioids were prescribed in the state alone. a jury will decide whether
