president's tweet, here's what donald trump said, spoke with president erdogan to advise where we stand on all matters including the last two weeks of success in fighting remnants of isis, also spoke about economic development between the us and turkey. great potential, to substantially expand. i'm trying to make sense of this, you're trying to make sense of this. in middle america, why do i care about this? >> here is what we care about in syria. the problem of syria and the rest of the middle east in stable efforts, how many stable middle east -- we are not back there, fighting wars in iraq and other places so the question is how to do that. we in turkey don't have identical interests in how to deal with syria but i believe in the president's second tweet shows that there is a basin cooperation between the united states and turkey if we can find

a way. the contentious issue with the kurdish population. the kurdish population in the middle east, a lot of people think about iraq when they think of curtis dan. from the us perspective what we don't want is another humanitarian catastrophe, the turks have a military operation tens of thousands of refugees on the road. what the turks want is they don't want kurdish terrorists for curse security. >> i will go out of order here. this is the one you are referencing, quote, long-overdue pullout from syria with little remaining isis caliphate hard from many directions. will attack again from existing nearby base. will devastate turkey economically if they had kurds. a 20 mile safe zone. we have a response and turkey's

presidential spokesman saying donald trump, terrorists can't be your partners and allies, turkey expect the us to honor our strategic partnership and doesn't want to be shadowed by terrorist propaganda. there is no difference and you can see they go on, we will continue to fight against the mall. what do you make of turkey's response to the president? >> if you put those tweets together, the us policy, a permanent footprint in syria. part of the kurdish population, a militia fighting against isis and supporting them for that. they were present a possible security concern in turkey. we keep saying our ally in syria, not really our ally. the issue to me is we don't want another massive humanitarian catastrophe. how do we address turkish concerns about security and our

concerns -- the us is going to be present in the region, turks have to respect that and we have to meet both those interests, humanitarian concern and turkey security. rob: like everything in the middle east, very complicated. we will see how complicated this becomes. jillian: donald from doubling down against the bombshell report from the new york times. his fire response to the so-called fake news onslaught. rob: a major win for the american worker. $800 million investment, bringing hundreds of jobs to the usa. ♪ it's absolute confidence

released into the united states. under asylum laws with new polls, lack of immigration law judges, they know once they hit here they will be released, their court date will be for 2 or 3 years, we never hear from them again. that is why i am saying we need to do all including the wall. jillian: let's look at some numbers, there's been increased support for the border wall, look at a difference of a year, 42% support it now as opposed to the 34% who supported it in 2018. why do you think more people are in favor of it now? >> because of television shows like yours and what you just said and the american people are looking at common sense and the common sense says a physical barrier is part of the multilayer approach of physical infrastructure, technology, personnel. it works. looking back at 2006 when bipartisan secure border fence act was approved, the same

things were being said then. why they need and this is a crisis as set now, the american people are understanding that. rob: donald trump says nancy and crying chuck can end the shutdown and 15 minutes was at this point it has become there is an the democrats fault. how do you see this ending? someone has to budge, right? >> someone has to budget and i hope just like those statistics, people supporting the wall. and listening to the experts. what i would say to people, stop listening to politicians that never spent two seconds at the border. and 127 border patrol agents. listen to those people, listen to the sheriff in yuma county, arizona, in 2005 when they build a wall 90% reduction of illegal

immigration and overall crime drastically reduced in this area. the wall works, experts say it works and we have historical data that shows that. jillian: illegal traffic is dropped 90% where walls are located in el paso and san diego. a lot of people, frustrating when you hear men and women, border patrol agents, and people are not listening to them. >> everyone who utters the words the wall is ineffective are lying to the american people and i use that language on purpose because that is accurate, they are absolutely misleading and lying to the american people. the walls work and we can prove it. heather: thank you for your time, appreciate it. rob: 38 after the hour. one of the few things democrats are willing to work with the

what is not to like? as you listen to their concerns about being regulated or taxed and when you go back to sacramento you pass some laws that pass the same businesses that paid for your steak dinner in hawaii. >> democrats defend the puerto rico situation, republicans are going to say the worst thing they have ever seen. how does this play? >> it reinforces voter skepticism, and how politics was done. special-interest wouldn't be doing this if government wasn't so powerful. that is the whole point. they lobbied members of congress and california legislature, so

much money and power is that steak, we need to get to those lawmakers, to enrich their own bottom line. >> but switch gears to our former state, california. sanctuary state promises the world to illegal immigrants, education, food, water, tens of thousands of teachers are striking because they don't get enough money in their classroom size is too big. legal citizens could soon be taxed on drinking water. taking all that, where is the money going? >> great question. let's talk about the unified school district, the nation's second largest school district, 35,000 teachers on strike and you mentioned the paid benefits, the classroom size. here's what is going on.

the school board in los angeles was recently taken over two or three years ago by a pro-reform majority. they are pro-reform and whether teachers strike, breaking the school board because teachers union is tired of the charter schools having more freedom to innovate and have better classroom instruction and what is "happening now" is you have largely working-class immigrants, children of working-class immigrants with 1 million parents, the teachers union is coming against those parents and saying we don't want your children to be better educated. we want to have more control over those charter schools. that is what it is. the water situation is insane too. looking at the water tax in california because government has gotten so big that they can't spend government money on

the basics like clean, reliable drinking water so instead of prioritizing the money they have, a budget that is 44% and 6 years, $144 billion they have to raise another few billion dollars with a new tax on tracking water. rob: i can't imagine living out there. it is unbelievable how individuals trying to go about making a living and pay for taxes consistently get nailed like this. appreciate your time, thanks so much. 54 minutes after the hour, the jets and that picture. do i need to say more? eyes are already on the super bowl. the new head coach, going viral and jillian. jillian: i'm not vegan. rob: trying to roam in. jillian: has an opinion. jillian: what they're telling me to do. ♪
