for what you're doing. it was the first day i knew they weren't getting a paycheck. and they said, but we really want a wall. it is what it is. >> you're right. president trump last night was on judge jeanine's show to talk about the funding bat thal is ongoing. what will the democrats do. >> frankly i'm ready, willing and able to get a deal done. i think it's bad politics. i want to give them a chance to see if they can act responsibly. i would rather see the democrats come back from their vacation and act. it's only politicians. that's the game they're playing. i actually think it's bad politics for them. they don't come to their senses, you know what i'll do? i'll do a national emergency. we're all set. it's 100% and i'll have to do that. >> you've said before shutdowns end when one side realizes they're losing. right now both sides are dug in. >> they're pretty dug in but the president looks like he's the

one that's negotiating. he's the one trying to move this forward. they seem, to me, the democrats, they're the ones that don't want it to happen. there's a lot on the table they could like. there's daca, they want to be the defenders of those who came here through no fault of their own. they have an opportunity and they're not taking it. >> there's a group of 340 or sor so democrats on a pour of the post hurricane and stuff. the president calling on them to come back to the table. if the president were to declare a national emergency, it would pull funds that were set aside for puerto rico among other places. >> from the emergency relief fund which another reason to make the deal. >> here's the point. the longer this goes on, the more this develops, when democrats are in puerto rico, the president is in the white

house calling for their resolution, the poll numbers grow for the support for the wall. >> and we didn't know when this began which way the numbers would go but it wasn't just right now. it wu of course over christmas and new years. this new poll shows over time, since january 2018, support for the wall has increased. so in 2018 support for the wall was 34%, today it's 42%. opposition was 53%, now it's 54 fors. 54%. still not north of 50%. but as the debate continues people are starting to realize it's coming. the wall may look political. when you talk to people on the ground, it's basic common sense. >> the experts are on the ground saying yeah, we actually need a wall to help slow down the traffic. i think there's something the president could be doing now right now and that is talking to spanish media.

there is a deal to be made that hispanics have been wanting. they're over in puerto rico, the democrats, the president is in the white house. talk to the spanish media from right there from the white house. tell them i'm the one fighting for daca with a deal. and by the way, the entire immigration issue, comprehensive immigration reform that the democrats have wanted all depends on border security. >> so many skeptics have been concerned about the comprehensive to close the border. >> if you get border security we can have a conversation. >> let me walk out from the washington standpoint. look at the numbers. look at the number of republicans standing firm. 87% among republicans supporting the wall. you know, that's approaching 90%. that is a very strong number and

if you go back and look quickly at the increase in the current poll, you have basically a plus-8 gain of support of all voters but then a negative 9 drop. so the movement, the tide is all moving towards the support for a wall and that is fundamentally undeniably a problem for the democrat position that would suggest eventually president trump will win the battle. >> it's taking time to educate. you spent a lot of time on the border. i was there a couple of days ago. when you see it and understand it, talk to the people, there's no reason to be opposed to it unless you want the borders open. the democrat position. the longer this goes on, the democrat's hand gets weeker and weeker. >> somebody who isn't afraid to say he's okay with a wal snot ns

much stronger name recognition. he'll see how that plays. >> i don't think julian castro would be announcing this early if it went for early success of beto. he campaigned for his in the early part of the senate run. and i don't think anyone expected beto to catch fire but julian castro has put it out there, wait, don't forget about me. >> a lot of folks on the left saying don't forget about me, including joe biden. the new york post headline joe biden expected to announce 2020 run. so reports can be wrong but it all seems to be that joe biden will throw his hat in the ring. >> access has a piece that he's presently telling people if he's walking he's running.

getting buried in the media headlines about the partial government shutdown is the fact that u.s. workers are actually winning. according to the bureau of labor

statistics, the rate of labor wager statistics for prime adults rose in the fourth quarter of 2018 more than any other quarter since 1994. joining us now to discuss the booming economy is the director of the center for the federal budget. ramina, good morning. looks like good news is getting overlooked. >> good morning. this partial government shutdown is really small. you're looking at $325 billion out of a more than $4 trillion budget. 7%, 8% of federal funding. the economy is continuing to roar thanks to the president's agenda and also the sweeping tax cuts which were very significant, the largest tax cut, the biggest tax reform in 30 years and businesses are loving it. small business confidence is way up and that's why we're seeing

so much hiring and so much growth in the economy. >> yeah, you mentioned hiring, ramina. let's look here at the december jobs report. 312,000 jobs added, 3.9% unemployment growth. how does that get lost in the media? >> well, unfortunately it bad news seems to sell better. this is really good news all around. there was an amazing jobs report and i think that we're going to continue to see strength in this economy, especially if the president continue continues hio further deregular because that is what allows businesses to grow and hire workers. but for long-run growth we need to think about how to boost innovation and further productivity enhancements. and some of the dark clouds on the horizon are the rising deficit and debt. don't decembe despair, those arl

problems that we can good. the good news is the minorities are benefits from this great economy which is awesome. women, hispanics, black men and women both are returning to the labor force in droves. and labor force participation is starting to inch up, really good news. >> romina, let me get you to put in context, if you will, as we hear so much about the workers, because of the shutdown, are going without a paycheck. we feel for them. yo one wants anyone to suffer like that. but when you put that in comparison to the growth that we saw in the december jobs report and the economy, give us some sense of really how we should process this. >> yeah. if you're looking at how many federal workers are affected, it's about 800,000 of them. half of those are eligible for unemployment benefits. and in the washington, d.c. region where i'm located, about 800,000 workers are filed for

that. when they receive their back pay, which they have historically received and which both the president and republicans and democrats in congress seem to want to provide for them, they've already passed bills to do so, they will have to return the unemployment benefits. so i feel bad for workers that are working paycheck to paycheck that are suffering during this government shutdown. but i think it's important to look at also what aspects of the economy are affected by this shutdown. >> absolutely. romina, we got to leave it there. thank you for bringing the good news to us. coming up, breaking this morning, big changes coming at the va. how after years of trouble a health care fix for our heros may be on the way. and this democratic congressman wants to put aside an effort to investigate terrorism to investigate president trump, surprise. a former fbi counter terror agent who led the manhunt for the yua unibomber is here to

reports out this morning, democratic congressman elliott ingle plans to shut down a counter terrorist subcommittee and replace it with a panel to investigate trump. >> ingle telling the new yorker we quote thought if you're going to do something relevant in this error where there are so many questionable activities of this administration, that it made sense to have this. >> the former deputy director of the fbi counterterrorism investigation and led the unibomber investigation joins us. you have a subcommittee, he has the reigns of power. one of his first moves is to get away of something that was meant to look into where the root of radical terrorism comes from and replace it with something to investigate trump. >> sure, pete. it tells you a lot of things really. first thing it tell us is that the hard left has a great influence in the party.

it's also telling us that the resistance is very much alive and well. and finally that we've got a long way where the democratic party has really changed. this committee and all of our work in terrorism has always been treated as a very bipartisan issue. it's major issue. terrorism continues to be the greatest threat posed to america today. and it has a history. it goes back many years. just a couple of years before 9/11, back in 1999 there was a bipartisan commission involving former senator gary hart, newt gingrich and was keuld the american security in the 2 isst century bipartisan commission and they identified a whole list of threats that we would face. two years before 9/11. they identified porous borders, dissent grating nation states. they predicted that america would be hit by a massive terror attack that would kill thousands of people.

fast forward to 9/11, the commission. they identified communication between law enforcement agencies on the localing with state and federal level, the communication of the fisa, national security part and the criminal law enforcement part and immigration problems and problems at the border and how all of the 9/11 came together. all of that was done together. and now along comes the democratic control of the house and we decided that this committee is no longer necessary to focus on terrorism because donald trump is the main threat. this is a really bad decision and i think it tells you all you need to know. actions speak louder than words. this is nothing more than political and another attack on and more resistance to the president. >> you worked in counterterrorism, you follow this very closely. has any terror threat been diminished to justify removing this sub economy or repurposing

it for investigating donald trump? >> back in 2000, 2001, i briefed congressional committees and talked to them about the decade we had just been through with the international domestic terrorism problem that we had. many time when the briefings had been done, we had been in a pause, hads a lot of things under control but we had big problems on the way and we could tell. after the briefings, because we needed more money to put people into counterterrorism, the politicians would say you've laid out some stories but we don't see the threat and we're right back to the future. i'm afraid we're right back to where we started and that's the kind of decisions being made today by the people in the house. >> when you get complacent, that's when you're vulnerable. >> or distracted by politics. >> thank you for you time. appreciate it. good stuff. it's the most insulting thing i've ever seen. president trump fires back at the "the new york times" after

. i think it's the most insulting thing i've ever been asked. i think it's the most insulting article i've ever had written. and if you read the article you'd see that they found absolutely nothing. it's called the failing "the new york times" for a reason. i've been tougher on russia than probably any other president period but certainly the last three or four modern day presidents nobody has been as tough as i have from any standpoint. >> that was president trump last night on judge jeanine's show talking about this article in the "the new york times" alleging that president trump was secretly working on behalf of russia. let's bring in jason chaffetz, former u.s. congressman from utah, author of the book "the deep state." thanks for being here this morning. you saw the article. you saw the president's reaction. it almost feels like their only option -- at this point so much

as gone on, they have to say we legitimately thought he was a russian agent so we had to investigate him. how absurd was that article? >> it's absolutely over the top. it's a desperation. but you know what? the more we look at it, the more we learn, it's director comey were the head of the fbi, for his own personal political salvation was working to manipulate the system to try to protect himself. rod rosenstein is the one who authored a memo, dav gave it toe president, recommending the firing of the director. so he puts into place this motion to try to protect his hide and to put in place through manipulation a special counsel. he was successful in doing that. but this assertion that the president is anything but 100% pro-america is absolutely ridiculous. >> it is insulting. i don't think -- i mean we can kind of laugh, they're saying that the president was a russian

agent. but that's treason. it's really a very serious charge. you know, you mentioned how james comey was trying to protect himself. it seems like he's also trying to protect his reputation. here's a tweet that he put out that i think is directed at the washington social scene but anyway it says, i ask you to judge me by the enemies i have made. what do you make of that as his response to -- this is an fdr quote by the way -- to all of this? >> pretty much everybody dislikes director comey at this point. it's pretty much unanimous that he's the much unliked person at the fbi. and you can't be on the receiving end of a more than 500-page scathing report from the inspector general about how inept and how much chaos was going on at the highest echelons of the fbi and walk away from it thinking this person was doing a

really good job. democrats and republicans alike have found out who james comey really is and he should have been gone a long time ago. >> let me ask you about another washington post headline. trump has concealed details of his face-to-face co encounters h pewter from senior officials. a lot of folks concerned there was an effort here. what do you make of it? >> i think the president makes a very good point is that nobody has been tougher on the russian government and vladimir putin than donald trump. look, actions are louder than words. we want a president to have close communication with the world leaders even if they are not on -- have our best interest on our side. and the president is doing that. but look what he's done from kicking out diplomats and taking on sanctions and doing the things that president trump has done. if you look at it objectively, he's been harder on russia than

anybody else. >> the insinuation of the washington post piece is that the president is having side conversations with vladimir putin, it may be about secret deals and things that we don't know, that he's selling us out. that is what the "the new york times" is insinuating, what the washington post is saying. the president last night on judge jeanine's show had a chance to respond. this is what he had to say. >> i don't care. i mean i had a conversation like every president does. you sit with the president of various countries. i did it with all countries. we had a great conversation. i'm not keeping anything under wraps. i couldn't care less. >> your response. >> well it starts with the fact that the democrats can't get over the fact that donald trump became the president of the united states. they never saw it coming. they don't understand it. they don't understand a person would put america first. they just don't get it. and so coming into that they always believed that donald trump was an illegitimate

president and how dare he have communications. but look at the success the president has had with russia, with iran, with north korea. the world is a better and safer place because of donald trump. >> you're right. it all comes back to that. thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you all right we're going to turn to headlines now. new pictures showing kidnapping victim jayme closs appears to be doing well. the 13-year-old wisconsin girl was reunited with family 88 days after she was abducted. this is a video of the home where police say he was held captive. she escaped and asked a woman walking her dog for help. jake patterson is charged with kidnapping closs and murdering her parents. due in court tomorrow. the department of veterans affairs is preparing to redistrict billions of dollars into private care. va hospitals treat 7 million veterans a year and have struggled to see patients on

happening and stop the drugs. it's kind of silly, it's kind oy inspired stupidity. but it's ludicrous to say that the wall won't allow us to focus our manpower on the places where we can control and search. >> thank you for saying that. it's stupid analysis. sometimes stupid is as stupid does. if you didn't have to allocate the resource to the portions of the border wide open right now, what more things could you do at the ports of entry to prevent the drugs coming in fnlt you want more people to do analysis about what kinds of methods are being used, the networks, the communications of networks and then you want to screen. intense screening. pull things into secondary. link in the screening area. laws that allows to go back into the country and stop truck trucn after the point of entry. the stupid lie here is that there isn't a crisis.

>> you know don't what we're talking about. griff, i'm reading the "the new york times" and i love this article. it's about the va shifting billions of dollars into private health care. thank goodness. they should be able to choose. top of the fold, "the new york times," vets get to choose now in the way they're writing the rules at the va. that's just one story. >> you wouldn't have liked it yesterday when i was reading it because it had a head line in there about an investigation that president trump was working on behalf of russians. fbi open inquiry into whether trump was secretly working on behalf of russia. they not only found in his firing of comey that he obstructed justice but yet he was working with the russians. the president responding with our judge jeanine last night about that story. >> i think it's the most insulting thing i've ever been asked.

i think it's the most insulting article i have ever had written. and if you read the article you'd see that they found absolutely nothing. it was called the failing "the new york times" for a reason. i've been tougher on russia than anybody ems, probably any other president period but certainly the last three or four presidents, modern day presidents with, nobody has been as tough as i have from me stained point. >standpoint. >> in the article they have to acknowledge openly they found nothing. >> nothing. but you don't get that until like really deep in the article as griff kept pointing out yesterday when we were on the show together. you have to read deeply. but they're trying to create a narrative that maybe he was a traitor, maybe he was a secret agent. wu saw that the washington post continued with the drip drip. they have reports that trump has gone to great length to conceal his conversations with putin, taking away the notes from his interpreter, basically claiming that donald trump is having

these private conversations with putin and he doesn't want any of us to know and the implication is that there's something sinister in that. >> it actually makes a ton of sense if you think about it. if you've been obsessed for two years over trying to prove that trump has been colluding with russia and you haven't found anything, through that process, whether it's peter strzok, lisa page, at some point your best play is we thought he was a russian agent. of course we had to take all of these actions because we believed he was in the tank with putin. that's why we took this illegal action and this extraordinary action and that's what we sent so far and so biased. it doesn't shock me at all. you will see more of these because they're justifying their actions and this is -- it looks silly. we know it's sigly but th sillyy hand they have to play. they know there's nothing. so they want it to look like they were just a good cop on the street looking for the russian

agent. >> jie so jason chaffetz told ue crime that the president committed was getting elected. >> the democrats can't get over the fact that donald trump became the president of the united states. they never saw it coming. they don't understand it. they don't understand a person who would put america first. they don't get it. so coming into that they always believe that donald trump was an illegitimate president and how dare he have communications. but look at the success the president has had with russia, with iran, with north korea. the world is a better and safer place because of donald trump. >> the leaking to the "the new york times" has been the leading edge of their talking points from the beginning. it's how we put all of this together to start with. the fact this is coming out means this is the beginning of the argument, closer to the end of the mueller probe. here we are, we didn't find anything. we were just, you know, mr. smith goes to washington looking for the russian agent doing your job. >> why would the president

conceal it. they said he -- let's say it's true. why did he. >> the notes from the interpreter. >> no other sitting president has had more conversations with foreign leaders leaked to the press. he was trying probably to make sure that didn't happen. maybe the "the new york times," they didn't get the documents from -- the transcripts. >> the washington post, by the way, just for a little bit -- i'm playing optio ombudsman on e show. let me give you a flashback from when president obama and his involvement, listen to this. >> after my election i have more flexibility. >> so you talk about unusual out of chark. >> i know what you're going to say, pete. >> can you imagine, imagine if anything had been remotely close

to that said by the current president? >> it would be game over. i think impeachment would begin had that clip come out of president donald trump. >> oh yeah. >> no question about it in my mind. >> i'm looking a the the initial tea leaves of this congress, they're not going to be able to avoid continuing the resistance by impeach in the house. they don't have it in them to show that kind of restraint. they don't have anything close to that kind of evidence to get this president on and these articles coming out of the "the new york times," the washington post are to me actions of desperation. >> the incoming or now chairman i should say of the house intelligence committee, adam schiff california, he's no the majorithe's in themajority respe new york times" article. i can say that counter intelligence concerns about those associated with the trump campaign, blah blah blah. >> thank you for shortening it. >> it sounds funny. it sounds ridiculous, donald

trump is a russian spy but really that means he's a traitor. and he's a sitting president right now. it's an insult to him and so many of his voters. >> well so much of the media talks russia, russia, russia -- i thought we wer over there but we're not. we won't be over that until 2020. we're in day 23 of the partial government shutdown. as someone who came back from the border and as i said last hour, everyone loves griff jenkins at the border, the agents going out pay right now, those i talked to, believe in what this president is doing, they'll take the temporary pain to try to get a wall because they see the effectiveness of a border wall. and where they don't have a border wall it remains a problem. >> and the president says it's bad politics for the democrats. take a look. >> frankly i'm readily, willing and able to get a deal done. they think it's politics. i think it's bad politics.

this country wants protection at the border. i want to give them a chance to see if they can act responsibly. i would rather see the democrats come back from their vacation and act. it's only politicians. that's the game they're playing. i actually think it's bad politics for them. if they don't come to their senses i'll do a national emergency. we're all set. it's 100% and i'll have to do that. >> i think the democrats have played that poorly from the beginning. nancy going to hawaii. do we have a picture of shirtness bob ma de menendez. he's on the beach with sun tan lotion and the president is at the white house saying i'm ready to make a deal if you want to. this is really important. he's made the case about the wall. he's made it. it works. people are starting to believe that and understand it more. and he's saying i'm willing to give away things that i wouldn't want because i'll make a deal and democrats remain obstinate and that's looking bad for them.

>> look. optics matter. this is a bad optic for democrats. think they have the upper hand. it's debatable. but with 30-plus democratic members of congress in puerto rico, even though they're on this for post hurricane recovery, it looks bad. you know why? tomorrow morning in washington members have an opportunity to fund a few things like paying government workers for their back pay, limited areas to ease the pain this has caused all while the support for a wall nationally grows in the polls. >> i think that donald trump should really lean into this. the president needs to lean into it. they're in puerto rico, he's in washington. call spanish media. daca is on the line. this is something the hispanic community has been promised by democrats forever. a permanent solution to daca, not something like what obama did which was just a lot of

uncertainty and could be overturned by the courts and the next president. this is a permanent solution for daca kids, on the line, and the democrats are saying daca you're not worth it. those kids, you're not worth it. the wall and hating trump and being part of the resistance is worth more to us than resolving that. >> i think that's a great point. >> the hispanic community knew this they would be more upset. first of all, by the way, no fox in puerto rico. they're not hearing that story in a lot of different places. if nay ear listening to spanish media, they're not hearing the good economic news. another opportunity for donald trump to talk about that and daca. >> to me the question remains, who will be the good faith democrat, the first to step forward and make a deal. i don't know if that person exists. >> there is one. >> she's so important that you forgot her last name. we're going to turn to

problem. but there's been a lot of discussion on unaccompanied children and the women and the illegals coming to the border but there's also another part of that. second order effect that's impacting texas citizens and some of those are the illegal aliens who have been convicted in texas jails. we have over 4,000 convicted sexual assaults against -- sexual assaults. another 4,000, 62% of those have been against our children. those are texas children, american children, your children that are impacted. if there's anything that we can do to protect those children who are our precious national treasure, it's our duty as law enforcement, as public ser vans to provide those factual information to the leaders in order to make the decisions to support them. >> the stats show that more than

275,000 criminal aliens have been booked into your jail since 2011. what is the solution? >> well, that's a great thing about my job. is that i provide the fact to the decision makers to make those type of solutions and make those decisions. with those, you know, not only about the convicted criminal aliens that we have in our texas jails but we also have the problem with, you know, we're the door to the rest of the nation when it comes to drugs, sex trafficking, you know, last year alone we had over 94 1/2 pounds of fentanyl that our state troopers seized. that equates to 21 million lethal doses. if you think about that, combine state to state to state to equal 21 million people, that's some deadly stuff that's coming through our borders and it's not ending in texas. that stuff is going through texas to other parts of the nation. >> it sure is, john, although there are some that think a wall

won't help stop that. do you believe a wall is part of the answer? >> you know, i think that when it comes to security, you know, from law enforcement and also from a homeland security perspective, it's a multidimensional approach. it's three-prong approach not just one thing. no stability happens with one leg. a stool needs three things. the three things are you need sphurinfrastructure, boots on te ground and all need to happen. >> thanks for taking time today to join us. >> thank you for having me should students be required to take a citizenship test before graduating high school? one state is trying to make it the law but would students pass? rachel hit the streets to find out. watch. >> how many u.s. senators are there?

another caravan, this one expected to be as much as ten times the size of the last one that will gather in honduras on tuesday and we're bringing in now the florida gop senator, marco rubio. senator rubio, good morning. thanks so much. i want to get your reaction this morning. obviously mexican officials taking this very seriously along with the u.s. officials. what do you make of this caravan news? >> yeah. it's a terrible thing. particularly for the migrants that are coming. it's a dangerous trip. a few years ago in florida we had a problem with the rail lines, we had people, kids, others who would try to beat the train, stand in front of the rail and jump off at the last second. they put up a bunch of barrier to keep people from doing it because it was dangerous. that's really one of the things that we're talking about. we want the word to get out that it is harder to get across the border as opposed to the word

that's going out right now, don'trydon't worry, we're goingt you across. so as long as people believe that they're going to be able to cross the border, desperate people are going tounde to undee this journey where women are abused, children sometimes disappear. it's in the a trip that anyone in the world should be making from hon doofrom honduras throua to try to get across the u.s. border. it is a crisis expwh. >> how best do we get the word to these people that this is not the way to do it. this is yet another caravan, even large erp an larger and itt stopping. >> for people not to be able to get in. word spreads. i know this issue very well. a lot i know a lot of people in honduras.

it's word of mouth. your cousin makes it across the border and you see that has something you might be able to do or others might be able to do. when people start coming back saying we tried to get across but couldn't or even if in the news there's a worder or wall or other method to keep people from crossing with it discourages people. it's incredibly dangerous. >> how should mexico handle this. they'll get first to the guatemala-mexican border. >> my hope is they'll stop people from crossing into the border. and under this new administration they want to do that. understand, if they can't make it to the u.s., then they stay inside mexico and that's a cost on mexico to have to house people and so forth. they don't like being a transit point either. in the past they made sure that people got through there as quickly as possible. they facilitated the trip. i hope what will happen now and i believe we have a choons to

partner with them to move the u.s.-southern border, not with an invasion or anything, but move the border to the mexican border with guatemala working with mexico to prevent the trip from beginning. >> we're in day 23 of the shutdown. do you see that the democrats, any cracks that they might come to the traibl? table? and i have one other question for you too. one of the things that president trump put on the table as a means to negotiate with the democrats is daca. anyou and i know a lot of recipients who would like this to happen. will the democrats pay a political price for ignoring this office and going with the resistance? >> i don't like shutdowns. i don't think they're good leverage. i don't think these people should be the ones to pay the price for the unwillingness for the democrat to move on this. that said, i don't think what the president is proposing is unreasonable. it's not 5 billion for a wall.

there are a bunch of other things there. but the democrats, particularly if the house, are dug in completely. they think they're going to do a deal and the president is going to get nothing. i'm always being told you have to camp mize, yo comp pliez ando negotiate. as far as daca and playing a political price, i don't know. i really don't. it is something i would like for us to fix. i'm not sure we should do something that important adds part opazas partof a broader de. ththere's only one reason they'e opposing this. they want to deny the president fulfillment of a campaign promise because they're going to attack him on this in 2020 saying he didn't keep his promise, mexico didn't pay for it, he didn't build the wall. that's what this is about. >> senator, if you open up the "the new york times" yesterday

you would read a story about how the fbi -- here's the headline. fbi opened inquiry into whether trump was secretly working on behalf of russia. this started when james comey was fired. if you remember, rod rosenstein wrote the memo that recommended james comey be fired, then once he was fired, the fbi started to investigate trump to see if he was working on behalf of russia. how much more insane can this get? >> yeah. here's the thing. i never comment on these leaks. sometimes they're true, sometimes they're half true, sometimes fams. false. but every single time, whoever is leaking it has an agenda. there's an active investigation not just on trump, the whole topic of russia and let that play out. but these leaks, these people that used to work for the government, when you leak, you have an agenda. and i tell you right now from the intelligence committee where i'm sitting and we're doing our own work on this, i'm not

commenting on this one, just in general, a lot of the leaks that you read in the press sometimes they're half true, sometimes they're 5% true. whoever these people are, they should be found and they should be prosecuted for this. this is doing no one any favors >> do you think the president is a russian agent? >> do you believe he's a russian agent? no. i believe that russia interfered in our elections. i believe they continue to be actively involved -- they're doing it in ukraine right now. they do it all over the world. but the senate intelligence committee we're doing our own work, our own report. it should be out this year. it will speak for itself. it will lay out all of the details. mueller has something totally different. let that play out. we deserve to know what happened. i'm not going to opine on any of it. it isn't fair to nick. >anybody.>> it seems that russis continues to have an influence on american politics because

we're not getting the mueller report to put a definitive line on what happened or didn't happen or even the report you're working on. as long as we continue this to infill freight and not have an end to russia, the russians are influencing. >> there's no doubt that this debate that we're having is part of their plan. they're trying to exacerbate the tensiontensions that already ext here. i don't know anything about the mueller time line. i the tell you in the intelligence committee we're reach in the fourth quarter. most of our report is looking at what russia did and what we can do to prevent it. if something is miss in that report people will say you forget to look at this or that. i can tell you this, i think people will be surprised -- this is informational warfare at how good they are. they're not the only ones doing

its. i encourage you to look at what's happening in ukraine right now, what they're doing there and in other parts of europe and around the world is extensive. for them informational warfare is part of their doctrine. >> i want to get your comments and thoughts on a report today that back in september when a group of militants attacked baghdad with mortar fire. they were backed by iran. there's a report today that the white house was seeking options to strike iran. john bolton specifically asking the pentagon for options to strike iran. do you know anything about that? >> i know that some of them, it's possible that one of the commanders may decide -- they would love to kill americans. they've long wanted to kill americans and it's possible that any given moment one of the commanders, one of the shia militias may surprise to attack.

welcome back. president trump delivering on yet another campaign promise to give veterans more choice in their health care. according to a new report in the "the new york times," the department of veterans affairs is prepared to redirect billions of dollars into private care setting the stage for the biggest transformation of the va medical system yet. here with insight, dan caldwell, a retired marine and iraq war vet. thanks for being here this morning. the article says effectively, as the rules are being written veterans are going to have more options and choice to go to the private sector. is that right? >> that is correct. just to be clear, these rules aren't final yet. you could have the d.c. swamp, the d.c. bureaucracy undermine them. but the things appear to be going in a direction where they'll give veterans significantly more choice at the va. that's the key thing. they'll have the choice between going to the va oar going to the private sector if the va can't

serve them. you could have a lot of veterans choose to stay in the va but a lot will choose to go to the private sector. >> critics are say you're going to have a lot of vets leaving the system and the system won't be able to sustain that. how do you make sure that the vets get the choice and the va is able to maintain the specialties it has. >> that's flawed thinking. it's not about saving the system or sustaining bureaucracy. it'sant serving the veteran, what's best for the veteran. and ultimately if more veterans choose to go to the private sector, that's where the funding should go. the veterans should be able to vote with their feet. it's a simple concept. and every government run health care program, medicare or tricare has some element of choice in it against va. >> tricare is a good example, it's a popular program because they have access to a system or they can go outside. in many ways this is similar, what they're trying to do at the va to what's dow done in tricar,

correct? >> that's right. the report says that tricare is serving as a model. probably won't be an exact rep occasioreplication. i think secretary wilkie and a lot of people around him will look at what is wrong and what went right when they implemented tricare tw or three decades ago. >> are vets going to like the option to choose? how popular is it? >> veterans want choice and president trump campaigned on choice. you heard him talking about choice at every campaign stop right alongside the wall. i think that's a big reason why the veterans voted for president trump overwhelmingly. so veterans want it, support it overwhelmingly, 90% in polling that we've done. and ultimately they'll be happy when they get more choice in the health care system which president trump wants to do. >> things like this are leaked to the "the new york times" because they want to make it

look bad but the irony is it makes him look good. it doesn't matter where you get the care, it just matters that you get the best care anywhere where. thanks for you time. appreciate it. democrats refusing to agree to the president's $5 billion border wall but some on the left are okay with paying 8,000 times more than that for a green new deal. you recognize her. plus, actor chris pratt is on a diet inspired by the bible. it's called the daniel fast. so what is it exactly? we're going to learn what you can and can't eat coming up next. ♪ ♪

want to give them a chance to see if they can act responsibly. i would rather see the democrats come back from their vacation and act but it is only politics. that is the game they're playing. i actually think it's bad politics for them. but if they don't come to their senses do you know what i will do? a national emergency, it is all set. 100 percent. >> i think the president does not want to declare an emergency but when this started nancy pelosi was in hawaii now they are in puerto rico.the one person in d.c. waiting for them to come to the table and negotiate is president donald trump. i think in some ways, he may actually be starting to win this pr battle. it is said that it comes down to this but you know what? the president is really putting some solid things forward. daca. more money for other border security measures that the democrats do agree with.

negotiate, tell me what you want? >> what looks more serious, the president of the white house prepared to make a deal or shirtless bob menendez on the beach? that alongside nancy pelosi in hawaii, we will find out. we will get on that. but the optics to matter. the president has shown a willingness to be flexible as he referred to. he's also done this republics now almost 3 years since he came down the escalator.he's educated people. i think that's why the trip to the border was important. they want the walls, they work with her there, when they're not there they don't work. putting his hand on the wall, is tranquil because there's a wall there. >> totally made the case in his on the winning end of this. i don't know how it ends but it's a pretty strong one. >> is not just the optics. there is also polling showing support is growing across all americans not just republicans.

there is a story want to talk about that happened on wednesday in long island. the reality of these instances that keep happening. tragically a christmas, corporal ronil singh was killed. a teenager was killed by two members of ms-13 on long island on wednesday. two of the people that stabbed him were here illegally. they came in december 2016 as unaccompanied minors and according to police, you see and hear, one of them you cannot see his face, i believe was picked up by dhs in 2017 but released by a federal district judge and so, it is the loophole, the tragedy, the violence, these things keep happening. it is the reality driving this i would argue. >> and an attack if you have

the right policy it is 100 percent preventable. because they should not be in the country to begin with and they use loopholes, to be minors and come across the border even though they are members of ms-13. in this boy in long island -- >> the president of ms-13 animals and nancy pelosi defended ms-13 as trump derangement syndrome. these kids from ms-13 are not going to schools where these people attend. this is affecting middle income, low income, working-class and poor americans i have these kids come into the schools. it's a serious problem with gang violence. here is a stabbing that could have prevented again, by border security loopholes that we see and i guess they were unaccompanied minors. >> they came in as unaccompanied minors. it could have been prevented. we should set a stabbing victim is okay.

fortunately. but here is the point. democrats openly calling for abolishing i.c.e. . one of the kids was picked up by dhs and released. not only are they advocating against -- they advocating against getting rid of i.c.e. the kid would not have been stabbed. >> when he was picked up, the time he talked about it was known he was a gang member? >> i don't know about that but we know that the time he was picked up, whatever he did, they knew that he was here illegally. and in so many of the school district to country, they are somewhat like safe cities themselves because they are prohibited on reporting on immigration status. >> of course, three democrats officially running for president. one announced yesterday. he was i think secretary of hu

. he knows part of his platform of course not building the wall. here's part of what he had to say. >> we say no to building a wall and yes to building communities. [cheering] we say yes to keeping families together. there is a crisis today. it is a crisis of leadership. donald trump has failed to uphold the values about immigration. >> he and others are for medicare for all. ironically i opened up the new york times and the top article is, get this, is only one government run healthcare system in america. it is the va. va to propose shifting billions into private care because the veterans stuck in a bureaucratic process want out of it to get private care. why in the world is it viable for them to pose medicare for all, government run healthcare for all americans? it's a joke of a policy position.

>> medicare for all is a slogan i think people don't realize what it really means. if any means your teacher or firefighter or you have private insurance plans through your employer, they going to take it away. and they are going to give you a crappy -- >> or they will drop you because why will they pay for it when the government will pay for it? >> exactly i think people don't realize medicare for all means know you will have no choice. it's a bad message because when people figure out what that fancy slogan, nice slogan what it really means and behind it, it means you do not get a choice. >> it also means a two-tier system. it will be a crappy system and then elites get to pay extra money for better care. >> and joe by the city from walking, i'm running. rumors are swirling that joe is getting in the announced could come as soon as tuesday. his brother, frank, telling

that he is definitely in. it's going to be interesting. i asked for someone that does research for us. i said, how many are actually running? or have designs on running? 31. >> who do you think is the biggest threat to the republicans among that field? >> joe biden. >> well, you have to check certain boxes. how progressive are you, how left-wing are you? are you a man or woman, are you minority and how much you hate trump? whoever can check those most effectively will most likely be the nominee. i wouldn't want to run against this economy and the commonsense solutions he's proposed. what do you think? >> i think robert francis will be the biggest appeared to me he runs me a lot of obama also had a lot of accomplishments behind him but had sort of that energy, that optimism, he knew how to speak in the progressive

language in a very operational way. sometimes listen, sometimes policy is not about the result. we wish that it was but sometimes it is just who makes you feel good or who do you want to have a beer with as they used to say. i think beto is a big threat. >> last week's poll there was one has sinners on top, there it is and then joe biden. and then you have robert francis and warren who had a big speech just appeared. >> and then jeb bush. >> will get to that. we're going to start with a fox news alert. another officer in critical condition after a suspect open fire in birmingham alabama. police say the officers were shot when they approached two suspects trying to break into a car outside of a club. one suspect was injured in the shootout and taken to the hospital. the other in custody. brian kemp will be sworn in

after giving things to men and women in blue. that officer along with his biggest fan, there they are! his mom joining us. that is coming up. you don't want to miss this. become mini vans. as we upgrade and downsize, an allstate agent will do the same for our protection. now that you know the truth, are you in good hands? >> i think it is the most

insulting article i have ever had written. and if you read the article you see that they found absolutely nothing. it is called the failing new york times for a reason. >> was the president slamming the new york times claiming that he was probed by the fbi for being a russian agent. in a new op-ed newt gingrich taking issue with the investigations and quote - president trump is not betraying the constitution there is no evidence he ever betrayed the country for the russians. it was the bureaucrats.

let's ask our fox news contributor and former u.s. assistant attorney, andrew mccarthy. thank you for being here. see the former speakers analysis. where's the justification for opening an fbi probe in the sitting president being a russian agent? where does that come from? >> pete, i really think the investigation was about trump from the beginning. from the time that they started poking around during the 2016 campaign. i really don't know, i guess maybe i been looking at this too closely for the last couple of years. but i am kind of surprised people have whipped up the new new york times report because they suggest to me that the only thing that happened in may 17, is may 2017 after director james comey was fired, that the fbi and the justice department very rashly, in my view, thought they finally had a crime on trump. meeting obstruction. so they said overtly with it

being doing covertly for over a year which is investigating donald trump. that is what this was all about. remember pete, they believe the steele dossier. they went to the fisa court, if they did not believe the dossier they would not have done that. and that was about trump, carter page, paul manafort and all of these other guys, they are a side issue. the dossier is about an allegation that donald trump was in correct conspiracy with russia. and to do russia's bidding once in the white house. i think that is cockamamie. but they believed it. >> so there in the middle of it now they finally have a justification in her mind and they can reverse engineer the entire thing but how do they do that? because rod rosenstein wrote the memo that the president you know, some believe used as

justification to fire jim call me. -- james comey. and then they say that is an offense? >> i think is a very flawed analysis. up until that point, what they did was designed the investigation so that they can say they were investigating the trump campaign where people connected to the trump campaign. knowing if they did that, they will potentially find what they were hoping for. which was a case on trump. when he fired comey and days later, comey leaked the memo said that trump interfered with the investigation of flynn, i think they jumped to the conclusion that now we have him! we actually have an obstruction case. and i think in their hot headedness, after the director was fired, they simply went over with something they had been doing all along.

so they formally opened an investigation but that is just a paper fact. they been doing this for a year. >> briefly, how deliberate is this? or is it that they gotten so deep and don't have a way out? >> pete, look -- do remember the old burt lancaster and kirk douglas movie seven days in may? i want to call this nine days in may. what happens between the ninth in the 17th is, comey gets fired. the story gets leaked in the new york times. rosenstein starts to talk about potentially wiring up against trump and the 25th amendment. then he appoints robert mueller.so they thought they finally had a case to prosecute. >> absolute. you've been putting this together from the beginning. we appreciate it. >> thank you, pete. >> democrats do not believe the president when he says he wants a wall. but do you know who does agree? the people on the ground. we'll talk to the border patrol

really, you don't see that a lot anymore it's good to see that kids are actually being taught not to fear the police anymore. and there is so much negativity that it's good to see positive once in a while. >> and mom, you say that in your house, police officers have superhero status. tells exactly how you teach him and the rest of your children? >> cops on our side, the are the good guys. they take care of us. so they see captain america and batman so i'm just kind of classified them all as superheroes in our house. >> absolute. >> you adopted him and his brothers, is that right? >> that is correct. >> i see him there. can we ask him, how do you feel about police officers? >> do you like police officers?

[laughter] >> yeah! a little t.v. shy. let me ask you quickly, on a serious note. i have covered a lot of police stories as a reporter and it seems that the attitudes police officers has grown more negative.how is it that using at least one youngster being taught to respect law enforcement? >> it means a lot! because anytime you go out in public you see kids, usually they look at you and they want to know why the police here? but he just came up and he didn't care. he just seen his hero or seen a cop and that is what he likes! >> that's right. and mckenna, you had no idea this was going to go so viral! >> i had no idea. we live in a small town. my friends and family i said would appreciate this so i would share and it just took off. >> i will tell you, we were

playing it all day yesterday on "fox and friends" as well. it went viral here too. it was our favorite story. he is absolutely adorable! and i understand you're also in the process of possibly adopting his sister as well. >> yes, we are sure trying. there are a couple of hiccups but we are praying it helps out. >> we will pray for that as well. >> mckenna, quickly and lastly, maybe advice for other folks. when you teach your children to respect law-enforcement what you tell them? >> i just say he is our friend or he helps keep us safe and you know we see them on t.v. and i say those are the good guys. just positive around the police. >> officer, thank you for your work, your service and mckenna and bo, thank you for being with us. >> he taught america a very important lesson. thank you for that. >> thank you. >> what a special story! >> it was. >> democrats do not believe and

the military has been fantastic, border patrol has been incredible and i.c.e. is you know, these are bay people that do a great job. there is another big one for me. we need a wall, very simple. whether you call a steer barrier or wall, we need a strong structure. >> that was a present last night on this note.he returned to mcallen texas to visit and meet with border patrol agents. one of the men he met and spoke with is our next guest. raul ortiz, border patrol chief of the rio grande valley. thank you for being here. i had a chance to speak with you as well at the border and you know, there's a debate in washington about, is this a crisis, is it not a crisis? you are there on the ground, boots on the ground, what are you seeing in the rio grande valley? >> first thank you for having me appreciate you coming down. certainly is nice to see people getting an experience of it's happening in south texas.

i would say that i got here in october 2013. we've been busy ever since. with apprehensions and having the president come down last week certainly, -- where asking for a wall, technology and roads. all of this will help fulfill our mission . pete: it is great to see you again. i talked about your rgb center. and more than hundred and 62,000 apprehensions. i'm about to get on a plane because we have another caravan gathering on tuesday in honduras making its way toward your border. how significant and how important is it? is it a crisis that the

democrats come to the table and get something done? >> most differently. we've artie apprehended 62,000 people this fiscal year.we are going to have over 200,000. 42,000 pounds of marijuana has been seized at ports of entry. there is a significant amount of traffic coming in as well as we have people that we have not been able to account for this fiscal year. those that got away that we were not able to get to because we are dealing with humanitarian issue as well as border security issue. >> one of the things that thing is been really positive about all of this attention on the border is the education the american people have been getting. i really commend border patrol for coming out, letting us know what the problems are, encouraging politicians to come and see it for themselves, getting that on television, letting us know, 52 percent latino force with a sort of dispel some of the racism charges. what was securing the border i

think it may be why, i think the numbers are starting to move the direction of more border security including a wall. are you seeing any changes? are you getting any feedback that shows the american people are starting to get educated and understand what's going on? >> yes, most definitely. here in south texas we really receive an awful amount of community support. law enforcement partners, community members are all very supportive of our mission. ports of entry, this traffic that comes. we are asking for more agents, boots on the ground, all of these are very significant in order to improve conditions that are happening in south texas. i do think it's helpful that people come here, in 2014 we had a crisis and i would like to encourage our politicians and folks in washington d.c. to come down and see firsthand for yourself exactly was happening. not just one piece of it but

border security and humanitarian. >> he talk about the three components that you have asked for, infrastructure, manpower and technology. but if you look at the polls nationally, 34 percent supported a wall last year and 63 opposed it. it's dramatically changed. almost a 10 percent shift favorable. only 54 percent are opposing this. it seems to me that in your 55 miles of wall, where you have one, you've had results. but you are asking this administration, this congress, for an additional hundred or so. how important is that? >> i made a statement to our president. really to america that we need to finish the job. westarted in 2006. we had infrastructure and some technology . we need to complement that on our website. i think all of south texas and all of america needs to know that we will continue to be the tip of the spear until we

actually have the resources. >> a good way to put it, finishing the job. you say you have 55 miles of fencing in 2006. you want 100+ more to complete it which makes your job easier. we want to thank you for being on the program and everything you do for our country on the border. thank you very much. >> thank you, chief and think all of your agents for working, some of them without a paycheck. >> thank you, chief. >> thank you. >> former fbi lawyer says hillary clinton had no reason to bring top aides to interview about an investigation. the epic times revealing lisa paige 's closed-door testimony to congress that says quote - it is not necessary to have witnesses attend the interview. some staffers including the chief of staff attended the fbi interview despite being witnesses in the probe. outrageous! >> such a sham. >> and saving a man's life with nothing but a hoodie and a

in america fox & friends. pete: true thank you for watching with us, we love it. griff you got a newspaper this morning right? griff: there's a lot of news in america and that is it's day 23 of the government shutdown, and the fight over the border wall continues, a lot of news, that caravan gathering but that's not the only news that you know. pete: no it's true and sometimes that last statement of the police officer and the boy said you know it's nice to have good news stories. rachel: it is. pete: it is nice to have good news stories. one of them caught our eye this morning at the front page of the new york times and this headline is va to propose shifting billions in private care. now the details of this are still ongoing. i've been a part of this process in trying to reform the va. rachel: you have for a long time pete: yeah and the mission act passed which gave veterans the ability to choose outside care but the fight continues with the swamp because then you've got to write the rules. once congress passes it the bureaucracy writes the rules and this article basically lays out that the tariff is staying true to form and writing rules that will give vets way more choice in the private sector to get

healthcare there if they don't want to get it at the va. of course the income times wants to spin it as if that's a bad thing but everyone who reads this if you're committed to giving vets the best possible care you're seeing president follow through on that campaign promise and lots of vets soon enough will have the ability to go outside the va. griff: i'm sorry go ahead. rachel: he's keeping his promise not just to do this for the va, but he's keeping his promise to forgotten americans because this will actually help more than anything else. it's really hard to get to a hospital when people live in the cities in the swamp it's easy to forget how diverse and wide open spaces there are in rural america. it's really tough. you're older, you have a medical issue and you have to drive very far to get to the va. now you can do it in your own town. pete: it's a great point. in the fourth paragraph the article says it puts into effect the proposed rules many of whose details remain unclear that it would be a win for the once obscure veterans for america.

i used to run that group. it's a little jab there and one of my former colleagues dan coldwell in the middle of the fight to make sure vets do get choice was on our program earlier this is what he had to say. >> they will give veterans significantly more choice at the va, and that's a key thing. they will have the choice between going to the va, or going to the private sector if the va can't serve them in a timely manner. veterans want choice and president trump campaigned on choice. i think that ultimately they will be very happy when they get more choice in the healthcare system which president trump says he wants to do. griff: so if you're one of these vets as you are, pete, thank you for your service, what does it mean for them, how will this work? pete: well it means because right now a lot of people think because the choice about was passed vets already have choice, it hasn't lapped happened yet. it means you will weightless, you won't have to drive as far, certain things that you used to have to go to a va facility for now you can go to a private doctor for so there's still some interaction with the va, nobody

is trying to gut the va, simply putting the veteran at the center. the vet gets to make the choice, not the bureaucracy and the money flows with the veteran. we already do it with active duty and reserves in the immigrant, they have tricare, very popular healthcare system basically you have hospitals and you have a network of places you can also go. that's what the va will look like so the new york times so doing its best to spin it negatively but for everybody who supported this president this is a goodwin. rachel: it's like the article yesterday we were talking about or today. if you read further into past the headlines it's actually great news. pete: turns out it's really popular and would be effective. griff: and the va doesn't always work and the government isn't working in many sectors because of the government shutdown, you talk about promises made, promises kept, president trump trying to keep his promise, perhaps his signature promise to build the wall and he was on our judge janeen show last night talking about why it's time for democrats to come to the table finally.

listen. president trump: frankly, i'm ready, willing and able to get a deal done, but, they think it's politics. i think it's bad politics. this country wants to have protection at the border. i want to give them a chance to see if they can act responsibly. i'd rather see the democrats come back from their vacation and act. it's only politics. that's the game they're playing. i actually think it's bad politics for them. if they don't come to their senses, you know what i'll do? i'll do a national emergency, we're all set. it's 100% and i'll have to do that. rachel: i don't think the president wants to call a national emergency. i think he's being very sincere when he says i want the democrat s to come back from puerto rico, or wherever they're at come back to d.c. and make a deal. i think that he's putting a lot of good things on the table that democrats said they wanted. daca, more funding for not just the wall, i think that's sort of a misperception, that they're trying to put out there on the other side. i think that the president wants as we had the border patrol officer chief here in the last hour, he said we need more

technology, we need more boots on the ground and we need a wall to help slow the flow down of illegals. griff: we do know what the president wants, the president is trying to deliver what the american people wants and if you look at the polls you see that the support for building the wall is increasing. now this type last year, 34% supported it. today, it's 42%. last year, 63% were against, this time, only 54% opposing it that's a shift, universally about 10%. that coupled by the news that keeps coming tragically, whether it is a corporal singh in california killed on christmas day or just on long island a teenager stabbed by ms-13 gang members who came here illegally. rachel: griff you spent a lot of time on the border how much do you think the change in these poll numbers is the fact that i've never seen this many border patrol agents on tv talking about the borders than i have seen over the last six to eight months so how much of that do you think because people are finally getting more educated about the issue. griff: as an observation i would

say it is 100% because of the coverage because the president drove this issue and it is forcing not just fox news but alameda outlets to at least give a really spotlight on the border , because listen, it's true. many people across middle america and north of the border don't necessarily see it in their backyard like texas, arizona, california. pete: or they get garbage reporting. do you see that story the president tweeted about it cnn called a local network down in san diego to see if they could get a local reporter to do a hit for them and the local reporter said well i'm going to basically do a hit about how walls work and so cnn said no thank you, we don't want your reporter. rachel: we're canceling your show. pete: good on this local station for going on the air saying listen we were willing to give a resource to this place but they have a narrative they want to tell and it's not that walls work. and the more you talk to again i talked to the experts down there at the border, you have. i asked them multiple times. who are these experts that the left and the democrats keep cit ing that a wall is not helpful or necessary in border security?

they never have an answer, and they say these guys don't come here. they don't come visit they don't know the reality on the ground. it's like legislating a war from washington d.c. without ever talking to the troops on the frontlines in iraq or afghanistan. you're never going to get it right. rachel: it's willful ignorance. there's so many things i've learned myself, i've learned that our border patrol is a 52% latino force so there goes their theory this is all racist endeavor and two, i've learned so much about the sexual assault s that are happening not just to the migrant children that are coming across the numbers are astounding, how many women and children are sexually assaulted on this journey that in the era of me too by the way where we're all supposed to be a lot more aware and sensitive to that but also how many sex offenders have made it over and are sitting in our jails, those are just the ones we caught and that's in danger to our american children. griff: and those watching this are the immigrants themselves because another caravan is growing some say as many as 15,000 and they're going to come

because they see what's happening here in this country with the border with the change with democrats and the president at laggerheads and we talked earlier on this show with senator marco rubio about the democrats, and trying to do a deal, here is what senator rubio had to say. >> i don't think what the president is proposing is unreasonable. i'd rather just the democrats say look, we're going to do border security. we voted for it all these years. there's only one reason why they are opposing this and that is they want to deny the president a fulfillment of a campaign promise because then they will attack him on this in 2020. this is what this is about. that's all this is about. pete: yeah, e-mail us and let us know what you think. where will this showdown end. friends@foxnews.com and griff will be joining that caravan i think right, can i report that maybe, kind of? griff: listen i want to try and get down there, we'll have to go through a snowstorm and i've got other duties but you know it's an important story because the poll factor is real and they're

going to keep coming until we and this country do something whatever that is. rachel: we're looking forward to hearing your reports from that. pete: thanks, griff. rachel: we'll turn to headlines and we start with another officer in critical condition after a burglary suspect opened fire in birmingham, alabama. police say the officers were shot, as they approached two suspects trying to break into a car outside of a club. one suspect was injured in the shootout and taken to the hospital but the other is in custody. secretary of state mike pompeo said the u.s. will keep pressure on saudi arabia at a news conference in qatar. >> we will continue to have a conversation with the crown prince and the saudis about ensuring that the accountability is full and complete with respect to the unacceptable murder of jamal khashoggi. rachel: secretary pompeo says he will meet with the saudi crown prince during his country trip through the middle east. illinois is refusing to permit a

helped us win the election. everybody knows it. everybody knows that our candidate, president trump, ran the best campaign, worked harder , had better ideas, and better solutions for the american people's problems, and look what he's done over the last two years and the fake news divisions just can't help themselves but be part, really in fact, a super pack, for the democrat party. i just can't see any other way to say it. griff: david why are we see see ing leaks like this in the new york times particularly saying that well the president wasn't only possibly on instructing justice we were investigated for being a russian agent. >> yeah, let's see. he fires james comey and the deputy director becomes acting director andy mccabe also fired by the fbi themselves, whose wife was a democrat activist and a candidate who received three- quarters of a million dollars from clinton activist terry mccullough, so look this

is all politics this president has seen an unprecedented amount of just an orchestrated attempt to discredit him, discredit his election, the 60-plus million americans that voted for him, what the democrats and the media have done is quite shameful to be honest and james comey is the leader of that shame in my opinion. griff: you know you mentioned james comey. he seemed to be responding to this as well. here is what he tweeted. he says i ask you to judge me by the enemies i have made quoting fdr. what do you make of that tweet? >> you know the arrogance and quite honestly, the in competence which is why president trump fired him in the first place. look this guy is a leaker, under investigation by the department of justice, inspector general himself and he is somebody who p erjured himself. the potential criminal acts by james comey himself puts these types of statements just in perspective for people like me because he has no credibility

whatsoever. everyone knows he is now nothing more than a democrat activist. he campaigned in the mid-terms. what former fbi official in american history has been out spoke erin a political context and campaigned for candidates on one side or the other? its never happened. james comey has really broken the mold and he is going to go down in history as the worst fbi director in history. griff: that's an interesting point you know the fbi is not commenting on this story, but did you believe the fbi has a long ways to go in terms of repairing its reputation? >> you know, the great men and women that make up the fbi, they don't deserve this. you look at the peter strzok and the lisa pages of the world that have really besmurched and left a black mark on the fbi for no reason. it's a very few rotten apples that have really, you know, stun k up the whole barrel and that is a problem and our fbi is

the single most important police agency in the world to keeping america safe and secure and we need the fbi to be strong, but even peter strzok by the way in that story said there's nothing there, right? to the russian collusion. griff: well that's right and that was buried in the details, you had to go far down in the story to get to that point, david bossie thank you very much for joining us. thanks, griff. griff: nancy pelosi is getting outraged for saying this about the tragic death of americans killed by illegal immigrants. >> these are tragic situations. what the president is proposing will not eliminate those possibilities. griff: the wife of a paramedic murdered by an in legal immigrant disagrees. that angel wife's message to lawmakers obstructing the wall, coming up. - to be a pro at selfies takes practice,

sanctuary city in jupiter where they basically don't have any respect formation laws whatsoever. they don't cooperate with 287 g. they don't mandate e-verify, so it's basically a free for all for anyone that wants to come here illegally and continue to not fall rules. pete: dawn you heard what nancy pelosi had to say. she said well it's just kind of the price of doing business these things will happen. what's your response to the speaker? >> my husband was not the price of doing business. all of the families who have lost loved ones were americans. these were good people that were here doing amazing things. we just had the police officer in california killed in the line of duty shot by an illegal. my husband on his way back to the station to get a little bit of rest after helping someone killed by an illegal. i mean, we had boys, girls

killed by illegal aliens, and they're just not, it's not collateral damage. it's not just the price of doing business. these are real people. this is a real crisis. there's nothing manufactured about it, and i guess what i would say to her is i really hope that this doesn't affect her family, because if it does, she might see things differently rachel: i think you're so right. i really hope that someone in her office is watching this, that other democrat senators who think that this is manufactured and that it's obvious your pain is not manufactured and they should come to the table, they should talk to you guys, all of the angel parents and moms and dads and wives and see what the costs truly are, so thank you for joining us. i know it's not an easy story to tell. pete: thank you dawn and god bless your husband. >> it's not. thank you so much. pete: the real price of lawlessness. well, still ahead, tammy bruce and maria bartiromo both here, coming up live. rachel: and should students be required to take a citizenship

test before graduating high school? one state is trying to make the law, but would students be able to pass it? well i hit the streets yesterday here in new york city to find out. stay tuned. >> how many amendments does the constitution have? >> 13? >> i'm not sure. >> 26? 27? rachel: yes! imagine traveling hassle-free with your golf clubs.

>> ♪ living on a prayer pete: all right, remember this, chicago bears kicker cody parkey missing a game winning field goal last week in the playoffs and the fans were furious so chicago brewery turned the tables. rachel: the brewery offering free nfl tickets to anyone who could make a kick from the same distance that parkey missed from 43-yards, 103 people tried and 103 people failed. [laughter] griff: most of the athletes didn't even come close, a lot of them as you see falling flat on their backs in the snowy weather all i can say about that is poor cody parkey. pete: i know i would have tried. i'd like to think that i can make a 43-yard field goal it's not easy at all. could you make a 43-yard field goal? >> if i hired somebody to do it and then sent them out there, yes. rachel: that's the way i want it

done. [laughter] >> get them inspired. pete: oh, my goodness. get them to do it. maria bartiromo would probably have the same answer. rachel: probably would. pete: we're glad you're here. thank you. pete: another week, another democrat joins the presidential race. >> yeah it's great. pete: let's play a little bit of sound. julian castro announced his bid. listen. >> there is a crisis today. it's a crisis of leadership. >> yes! >> donald trump has failed to uphold the values of our great nation. rachel: so that's julian castro. >> [laughter] rachel: he's a real hispanic from texas unlike the other one. pete: what do you think? >> well look i think that donald trump's economy, everyone wants the job and can get a job and for the democrats and his position, he was the mayor of san antonio and then the head chief for obama for three years and look, this is an opportunity for a lot of people to get known , to be on television, to be working for some other job he

knows he's not going to be the nominee. i think that's clear you'll have at least 20 people, angling for this job. griff: 31. >> 31 is what we figure now. griff: we did our research and we came up with the 31 declared angling. >> unless somebody named somebody new they will have a problem because in the usa today poll on the 26th of december somebody new and different was the top rung, then joe biden, right? and then bernie sanders. hillary was, one thing all of the democrats know is they don't want hillary, so look it's going to be a year, you've got people who are going to, anything can change over this period of time and we'll see what happens. griff: you mentioned biden i want to jump on that because a lot of news we saw his brother -- >> we're the only one that wants to jump. griff: i mean biden has been rumored to be the perceived front runner. he was telling friends "if i'm walking i'm running" so we're hearing reports he may declare

on tuesday. rachel: you don't think so? >> no i think one thing that could happen with the democrats is you could have somebody like joe biden and the reverse of what happened in 2008. you have the new guy in barack obama and the one with experience in the second position right? i think the democrats learned that might not be a great idea, and so i think you could look at somebody whose got some name recognition, who has some experience certainly, maybe i don't expect it to be biden, but it could be if it happens that kind of position and then a cami lla harris or a corey booker or someone of that sort in the second position. so, but this is, look the democrats are in the position the republicans were in a couple of years ago. everyone is going to pile in and then good luck. remember the one democrat though that had good luck during the mid-terms was conor lamb, but he had no competition. there was no primary challenge, so -- rachel: and he also pretended to be a republican. >> and that's what allowed him to pretend so what they are going to be facing, even though,

you know, alexandria ocasio-cortez is not running for president, this is still a constant argument about the civil war, if you will, between the progressives and other people who actually want to represent the whole of the country and how they manage that is going to be very interesting. rachel: okay so tammy yesterday, we're going to switch this over just a little bit for you. so yesterday -- >> i went dizzy. rachel: i know don't get dizzy here but there are a lot of states, a few states that are requiring students in order to graduate to take the same test that immigrants have to take in order to become u.s. citizens. >> sure. rachel: so i hit the streets, take a look at this and we'll come back around. >> great. rachel: who vetoes bills? >> congress? >> no, the president? >> the president? >> the president. rachel: what kind of economic system is the united states? >> capital it's. >> a greek system. rachel: how many u.s. senators are there? >> 50? >> no, 100. >> 100. >> 250?

>> no it's 100. two for each state. pete: no! what do you think good idea? sure that used to be social studies. rachel: right. >> and that kind of went away somehow, right? but of course it's a good idea, and the more young people of course get to know what's going on the more they might become interested in addressing it, but this is not an unusual thing to and if you took social studies and you were good at it you would absolutely be able to answer that test. rachel: old epeople passed with flying colors and younger people , they couldn't even break it. >> well that's where there was a break is when i was in elementary school, and high school also history is a good thing to be taking and so this is i think it's a good idea, but let's get it down there in elementary school. pete: before it was social studies it was civics and it was a whole other thing. >> yeah, but it's clearly, look , i think that it's a great thing that immigrants need to take that test, but there's a reason for it, so that you can

get engaged and what happens in america matters, and it's the very least we should expect of our young people. rachel: i couldn't agree more. thank you. we'll turn now to some headlines new pictures show kidnapped jay me closs appears to be doing well. the 13-year-old wisconsin girl is reunited with family 88 days after she was abducted. this is new video of the home where police say she was held captive. investigators say she escaped and asked a woman walking her dog for help. jay patterson is charged with kidnapping closs and murdering her parents. he's due in court tomorrow and they bring convicted criminals together for a party to register to vote. miami gardens hosted a voter enrollment drive targeting felon s, just months after floridians voted in favor of restoring the vote. ready and excited to vote in the next election. taco bell, griff, we're talking about taco bell, trying to appeal to vegetarians.

the restaurant says it will do a trial run, with the new limited timed food items featuring meat- free versions of tacos, and their favorite famous crunch wrap. you'll see the new items pop-up in restaurants later this year. i thought that was called a ques edilla. pete: no, that's insane. that's not going to work. rachel: [laughter] pete: you like that, rick you want meatless tacos? rick: i'm more afraid of the meat in there. pete: yeah that's a fair point. rachel: rick if want good mexican you come to my house. rick: i know. guys let's talk weather. we had a big storm that kind of crippled especially parts of missouri around the st. louis area. cold air in place. this is where the storm is we still have some snow back across the western side of this, but heaviest of it right now across parts of d.c., you'll be in snow probably for about another six hours or so before this goes on. next action is out across the west. one disturbance went in across

parts of arizona and new mexico now and the next storm moves in tomorrow across southern california and this is pretty potent watching some areas pick-up five to six inches of rain that will cause mudslides and debris flow from the fire burn areas but look at the snow out across the west if you're a skier things are looking amazing really every place across the west you don't normally get that you get like northern rockies or southern rockies but every place out across the west is looking great. rachel: is griff going to get to mexico? rick: stop complaining, skip your d.c. plans today go straight from here to where you need to go. griff: d.c. will be a little snowy. thank you, rick. he's the wealthiest man about to get the most expensive divorce so what does it all mean for jeff bezos? and the future of his company amazon, maria bartiromo has got some thoughts on that coming up next. pete: it's national sunday supper day. we've got a chef here to help celebrate with our favorite family meals we each got to choose i'll let you guess who that is, coming up.

griff: getting buried in the media headlines about the partial government shutdown is a fact that u.s. workers are actually winning. pete: according to the bureau of labor statistics the rate of labor force participates participation for prime age adults ages 25-54 rose more in the fourth quarter of 2018 than in any quarter since 1994. sunday morning futures host maria bartiromo joins us now to weigh in we always love having you. maria: great to see you guys. happy sunday. pete: that's great news not a lot of people are seeing. maria: the good news here is that the economy is doing so well we had 4.2% growth in the second quarter, we had 3.5% growth in the third quarter looking at 2.5% for the fourth quarter we'll see when those numbers come out in the next couple of weeks but this is not a major impact just yet. analysts and economists say that the longer the shutdown goes on

it will mean one-tenth of a percent decline in the gdp per week. that's what kevin hastert at the white house says and that's what all economists are saying as well. now jpmorgan among the banks out there that have lowered their expectations for the first quarter now are looking at growth in the first quarter of 2 % versus an estimate of 2.5% and that is because of the output coming out of the government but the truth is that it has the hit the private sector yet. the longer it goes on it may hit the private sector but we haven't seen private employers really react to this, so one- tenth of a percent per week, very mini minimal luckily this is happening during a very vibrant time of the economy we just had 312,000 jobs created for the last month so it is a time the economy seems to be resilient enough tond ha millile not a major impact just yet. griff: maria we can't bring you on this couch and not ask you about one thing and that is economists and analysts are wondering what would be the impact of jeff bezos' divorce. he obviously is the head of amazon and his wife played a tremendous role there's no pre-n

up. he helped found the company with jeff. any chance that could impact the market? maria: yeah it's such a sad story. look i think the fact that she is about to become the richest woman in the country because she will get half of his fortune, assuming they're going to get a divorce, that means she becomes a major shareholder in amazon, so what she does with amazon stock will impact the company. i mean that's all i can say. i don't think there's a major impact i haven't looked at this close enough and it's obviously a very sad story for all involved but once she has her hands-on that stock alone, she will be able to become one of the largest shareholders in amazon and what she does with that stock will impact. rachel: interesting well what's on the show? maria: we got a great show. we're looking ahead to the confirmation hearings of william barr, the president's nominated for the ag, we'll talk with senator marsha blackburn, member of the senate judiciary committee we'll talk about that as well as what the judiciary committee will do with regard to the fisa abuse and whether or not we are going to see that

pete: today is national sunday supper day. a day to bring families back together in the kitchen. griff: so here to help us prep for our sunday dinner is chef brian lewis, owner of the cottage and oxo in westport, connecticut. thanks for being here. thank you for having me. thank you so much. griff: sorry i misread that. it's national supper day. it's an important day. >> my wife dana and my boy boys got little twin boys five years old, hey, boys, and we just always have a tradition to make sure we're home together on sundays, we all have super busy schedules. rachel: listen i'm here on sundays, but i fly out of the studio, because i get home to wisconsin in time for sunday supper. the only thing my husband knows

how to make is roasted chicken, which is why we had you do roast ed chicken, pay attention, shawn. this is the technique. >> so for me, super simple. great organic chicken, seasoned with your favorite salt, pepper, some onion powder, some garlic powder, 500-degree oven, 20 minutes, then down to 350, 20 more and then turn the oven off. rachel: turn it off and let it go for another 20. >> yeah. griff: that's fast. rachel: right? >> it's just out of the way and not a lot that you have to do, i don't stuff the cavity with anything and then roasted roots my wife dana does an amazing job , we do the chicken. rachel: this smells like sunday supper. griff: that's not bad. that's just a little bit too healthy for me. in my household, being a kid from the south, fried chicken is by far my favorite, and it is quite a mess. it's delicious, what do you got for us? >> so i like to have the fried chicken cold, or room temperature, just because it gets that mess out of the way, like you get it out of the way, so fried chicken a little bit of a cider vinegar and buttermilk

marinade, of course cornbread. rachel: how long do you marinade it for? >> overnight or just a couple hours is totally fine. breaks down the chicken really well and spicing depending on what you like in your breading, spicy or not. griff: so in this when sunday goes all the way into monday, tuesday. >> absolutely, kids lunch right there. griff: well get the chicken out let's go to a real animal. >> this is my sunday supper when my family goes away and i'm treating to myself to a killer rib eye, bone-in, i like to roast it in like some duck fat, or some lard. rachel: do you put it in the oven? >> this one i roasted just on top of the oven and just basted it with lots of butter. you did an amazing job cooking that man. rick: total killer. i'm getting so good. rachel: okay, and rick, your lasagne. he's a lasagne guy. rick: my sunday dinner with fried chicken, but griff already took it, you have to pick something else so the runner up

is lasagne. >> this comes from my irish lasagne upbringing. my mom does an amazing job with this as a kid, and i'm fully inspired to keep it going. rachel: what do you put in it? >> honestly you got to make it the day before, cook it and let it chill and rest. rachel: that is so smart that's right. that's the trick. rick: also the secret to sunday supper is you don't have to do anything. that's the one thing and it's just all good. griff: chef thank you so much for being here preparing our favorites we're going to eat this. we have you continuing your sunday supper traditions there while we pig out! rachel: this is so good! >> ♪ ♪ are creating the future.

of at-home moms i was surprised by it. i was surprised by how under appreciated it was by other people, maybe even by the culture. >> i think that it helps to back up i guess and have like a birds eye view of it, because when we're in it, it's so easy to be trapped into the, i'm not getting a paycheck and even the materialistic culture that we're living in today, but when i back up and just look at it like what's really going to matter at the end of life? like it's the love that we give and the love that we receive, and like being able to be there for our children and even like it's not whether the moms at home or the moms at work. it's like how can we best love our family. rachel: right. >> whether that's being at work or at home. rachel: i always say the things that last right? what are the things that last. pete: very cool. rachel: the things that last, conversation, hour-long deep
