[cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] steve: welcome.

steve: our first ever live studio audience. give it up for these folks. [cheers and applause] ♪ steve: you know, we have been doing this show for over 20 years. this is the first time. we have taken the show out to you over the last couple years we have done the diner shows where we take the program to you. today you are actually coming to us. a couple weeks ago we said who would like to come? all these folks filled out forms. they had no idea they would have to get up at 2:00 in the morning to be here. brian: let's be fair to ainsley 20 years ago she was in fifth grade. ainsley: i was telling brian i was like gosh, if i were in a studio audience 20 years ago here at "fox & friends," i would have been so excited. we love y'all. [cheers and applause] ainsley: but this is a dream come true for all of us. and we know we are sitting here because of you guys. you keep us employed and you watch every day and we can't thank you enough. brian: how many people here just to see regis? [laughter] ainsley: wrong show. steve: you will notice that some of our regular friends

in the audience today. have you seen them on television before and lived in the new york city area. good to have them. also people from all over the country are with us because they wanted to the watch us do the news. we are going to start the news. once again, the big story as it was yesterday, there is a caravan. brian: since when? i didn't know about the caravan. steve: it is currently moving through central america. and yesterday honduran authorities arrested, actually, one of the organizers his name was juan molina. this time they are actually checking credentials and asking for papers. they have realized he had an outstanding warrant for rape. he has been arrested. nonetheless, the rest of them are marching toward our southern border. ainsley: it's day 27 of the shutdown. we have some more news to report to you that has to do with this. we are all holding a letter this morning that nancy pelosi penned to the president. on january 3rd, as the speaker of the house, she asked the "to speak for the state of the union address. that's how it works. well then she sent him a letter yesterday saying, you know what?

because of this shutdown, i'm asking you to either submit your address in writing, not stand at the podium or let's delay it. steve: that's right. brian: how sin senior is that she is concerned about security and concerned something will happen. the only problem is she didn't ask the secretary of homeland security about it she'll didn't ask the secret service about it she asked benny thompson what do you think about security. by the way it's already been done and finished and we have experts in the audience to talk about this. kirsten nielsen said the department of homeland security and secret service are fully prepared to support and secure the state of the union. we thank the service for their mission focus and dedication and for all they do each day to secure the homeland. if it was a sincere concern for the speaker, don't you think the chairman would have known about it? steve: well, and if there is a security problem at the u.s. capitol, why are they running the government? they have passed some bills yesterday. you've got to wonder by the president has not responded yet. it's because he doesn't know whether or not she was

actually canceling it or whether or not it was a political statement. buff how many people in our audience think and this is just a question. how many of you have think she does not want to give him the political stage, you know, all eyes are going to be on him and at some point you know our president. if he is in front of a joint session of congress, and she is sitting right behind him, don't you think at some point is he going to turn around and say the reason our government is not open right now is because that woman behind me is not going to negotiate. am i right? [cheers and applause] ainsley: does make people wonder why she is doing. this is it really a security concern or she doesn't want to give the president that opportunity. steve: to be on tv. ainsley: exactly. to be o on tv and point fixers at her. they are not willing to come to the table and come up with a plan. brian: karl rove is actually on our network. he was asked this question question last night. here's what he said about this mo.

>> this has never happened in american history. the house of representatives, the congress of the united states has never refused an opportunity for the president of the united states, if they wanted to, to deliver the state of the union address in person. nancy pelosi did thought tell the truth today when she claimed this was all because of national security. she did this because she is angry with the president. she want to humiliate the president. she wants immediate and unconditional surrender and this is her way to do it. shame on her for doing. this america deserves better than this kind of politics. steve: one of the other things democrats are worried about is the fact that the presidents having the stable and for so many people suddenly be caught up on the story, the democrats may appear inflexible. and donald trump has made it clear hey, i'm here to negotiate. you don't want concrete, let's make it steel. you don't want to, you know, you don't want a wall, we will make it slats. he has gone on and on. we are going to add $800 million for at the

ports. shhe is already negotiating. if it is revealed she is not doing anything than saying no that could be bad for the voters at home. ainsley: in 1981 carter did submit a written address four days before ronald reagan was going to be sworn. in it was more like a peace out thing. remember the challenger when it blew out. brian: did you say a peace out thing? ainsley: january 28th is my mother's birthday. we were all watching on television. i remember my first state of the union thaaddressthat i remed reagan. he pointed out who though astronauts were and we all remember christie mcauliff and how sad that was. this has never happened because of a shutdown. brian: i would like to add to to it i think the president is saying he might be able to do something about nancy pelosi. there is something about pelosi he feels he can work with her. steve: not working out so far. brian: chuck schumer he will

call him out every day. nancy pelosi evidently in meetings he will point out catholic faith. in the "the washington post" before they had last meeting which was a blow up. he said will you say a prayer first. i would also say, this there seems to be a break among the democratic side. problem solvers showed up yesterday. they were all ears. ainsley: a lot of them freshman. steve: states that trump won. brian: senator coons said there are places we need a wall. i don't think it's immoral. steny hoyer indicated the same thing. to say the wall is immoral. if you are that focused then nancy pelosi can go out and hire fence removers. we have 600 miles of immoral fence. that's totally insincere. maybe something is going to break. maybe there is a belief that they can go in, if there is an agreement that they will build some type of wall, slat, fence, steel barrier for three and a half weeks they open it up and some type of agreement there. steve: ultimately it comes down to, this nancy pelosi versus the president. she has waited years to get

the hammer back. to get the gavel back. she is not going to give him a win. period. ainsley: do you know what i thought about too? january 29th is this speech. that's in a week and a half. that's not next tuesday, the tuesday after that. does that mean nancy pelosi is planning on continuing the shutdown until then. steve: if it is. that's a big question. was it an official it's cancelled or was it a political statement? that's why the president has not responded. mane he will later today. brian: talking about now responding. oftentimes we toss to jillian and she won't respond today will be with a live audience who should be forced to respond. jillian? jillian: normally i trophy respond to brian. good morning. good morning to everyone in our studio audience and to you at home as well. we do have serious news and a fox news alert. president trump will head to the pentagon today after four americans were killed in a suicide bombing in syria. isis taking credit for the blast that killed two u.s. service members and two civilians working with the military. take a look at new surveillance footage showing the frightening moment the terror unfolded.

his agenda to the american people. although we are in the midst of a shutdown. i think it's necessary that we as americans are able to understand what's going on in government. carley: now, i want to ask you another question about this topic, kirstjen nielsen responded. you know, nancy pelosi said this was all about keeping the president safe and keeping everybody safe because of the partial government shutdown. she responded and said we have been preparing for this for months now. so, do you think that this was pause she is worried about security or because of something else? i'm going to ask you? >> truthfully speaking i just think that anything trump would do she would negate it. so, like everyone, when we raised our hands, i think we should definitely let the president give the state of the union message to the people. carley: and i saw your hand pop up as well. i'm going to go over to you, do you have any opinions on this? >> yes, i believe this is

absolutely -- she is afraid the president is going to let everybody know exactly what's going on. he has bent over backwards to resol the issue and think won't budge. she'll doesn't want miracle to see it. carley: i'm excited to have everybody here today. we will talk to everybody throughout the whole entire three hours. we will get everybody's opinion on all of these topics so, we have a lot more coming up. [applause] steve: carley, thank you very much. show of hands, because it is a political thing going on in the shutdown, who thinks nancy pelosi is winning the argument over the shutdown? hands up. who thinks nancy pelosi is winning? okay. i don't think i have to ask the other side. who thinks the president is winning this? all right. ainsley: so you want him to continue this, as long as it takes? brian: yes. the polls show a different story but we will discuss it throughout the show. steve: maxine waters seconding a warning to wall street as she takes over the

warning for wall street. what did you make of her agenda? >> she wants revenge. she has come flat out with it and said i want revenge. says i am going to do to you, as in the banks, what did you to us. she is going to turn this committee, which she now chairs, into a court which is going to try and punish bankers. you will see a lot of hearings where bankers, leading bankers will have to stand up, raise their right hand and take the oath. that's very bad pr for the banking industry and maxine waters is doing that deliberately. she will harass the president. she will go after deutsch bank which financed some of the trump organization business. she goal after the deutsch bank and harass the president. she will call for new taxes on wall street. i think she is going to turn that committee into a sounding board to establish the democrats' financial policies going into 2020. but, i don't think she has any real power to affect the economy because any new rules or suggestions that she has can be reversed by

the republican senate and/or vetoed by the president. brian: a lookout of the people responsible for 2008 are retired, gone, or fishing somewhere. where did she dust this speech off from? >> well, she doesn't like the banks. she blames the banks for the crash 10 years ago. i think that's regurgitating old ground, frankly. that's what she is going to do. you will see an endless set of hearings where the banking industry, wall street, rich people are pillarried in front of this committee. don't forget aoc is on that committee as well. steve: stuart. somebody in the audience has a question. that guy right there with the gray sweater. brian: what's your name? >> tom.

she really affect the market? we have people who are retiring. i'm a retired firefighter. we have guys retiring this year. we have guys coming into the job. 401, 457s. iras. steve: can she impact the market? >> no. i don't believe she can that's a good question; this is the time of year where people decide retirement money is going. you have a 401(k). make the decision to put in stocks or bonds or cash. marks seen waters will not be able to affect the stock market. she may affect the bank stock price of a specific bank. maybe wells fargo, perhaps. but the banking industry, the market as a whole, know. brian: i would love to see her investigate you had. a lot of people curious why she is so rich and why she doesn't live in her district. steve: round of applause. brian: watch him on fbn 920 noon. ainsley: we have the great

[laughter] >> she does. [applause] >> i remember where the same thing happened to the president of the united states. it is like he doesn't know policy. his voters knew him. he was able to connect with

them and he bypassed the political establishment and just connected with simple language to the american people. so, i think there is a similarity in that although she doesn't have the substance to back what she is saying. ainsley: a lot of people don't agree with her politics. socialist, very, very extreme. she is the darling. she is cute and fun to watch and i like to listen to her. steve: she danced in college. ainsley: so funny, reminds me of of my baby brother when he comes home. mom and dad are here are the remotes. he knows how to use the remotes and social media. they go to the youngest one to teach the older people how to do social media. >> these are politicians that are going to end up having their communication satisfy run. this the reason it works for alexandria ocasio-cortez is because she actually runs her twitter account. she does a little too much tweeting sometimes. at the end of the day she connects with people. that's the beautiful thing about what she does. i would actually stop focusing on aoc because really she doesn't believe in the stuff that she says. she was anti-nancy pelosi

[laughter] >> kind of hard to get that college experience. look at campus reform, we cover it all the time. what i always tell donors that ask me this question is to go to our website and type up the college that you are actually thinking about, and you can see a list of stories that we have written about these colleges. we cover -- we have over 115 correspondents on college campuses. these are young people writing about what's happening on their universities on a daily

basis. the thing that troubles me is that even some of the christian colleges have started to get a little fickle as well. hillsdale is a good one. liberty. and you will get both sides of the political spectrum there. brian: my son was shocked after president trump won all of a sudden he got these even off campus emails if you need somebody to talk, to we have therapists 24 hours a day. steve: therapy dogs. brian: other neighbor's son went to at any point can you go in a room and hug a puppy if you feel things are getting overwhelming. >> i'm telling you trump did a number on these people. courses on the college campuses on how to impeach donald trump. brian: we have a bad day we will pet puppies. ainsley: you are the parents. you pay for it and some say you can't each look at your kids' grades. steve: who else has a question for lawrence jones about college and liberal bias? the lady in the red. what's your name and where are you from? >> mary ann from hazar haslet

brian: right now hundreds of migrants are on the move to the u.s. border as we speak. ainsley: and a brand new caravan is on its way up. steve: we have dispatched griff jenkins live to guatemala city where the migrants are marching. griff, so they have left honduras and now you are in guatemala heading toward mexico, right? griff: that's right, guys. we are in guatemala city and just outside of the shelter where the largest concentration of this group which has been loosely organized a bit chaotic are on the march. approximately 500. they left about 20 minutes ago. we are being very careful. we want to show you, too, just a little bit of a look at these -- you have families, you can see the back, women with children in strollers marching along an incredibly busy street. guatemala city is a large city similar to that of washington or new york city and the conditions here this is why the authorities, whether they be u.s. authorities or honduran

authorities or mexican authorities, this is why groups like this should not do this. we are going to show you from the back. families marching along unbelievable traffic. now, this comes as we were in that shelter earlier yesterday and spoke to one of the migrants about his journey. his name is marsio kavario this is what he had to say. >> two years ago. griff: are you discouraged from trying to go because the border is harder to get across? >> i know it's harder now than before, but i have got to try. i have to. griff: marcio was arrested for soliciting prosecution. he will have a hard time getting asylum. obviously. now these folks are headed 150 miles north of here to the guatemala-mexico border. that is the same path that the last caravan took. and it is the same path that we expect will be, perhaps,

in the next 24 to 48 hours. this is really the front of it. >> now the shelter person told us, the director of the shelter said they are expecting about 2500 total coming. so this is growing as it heads north towards ultimately the united states, guys. steve: all right. griff jenkins live in guatemala city where it is 5:36 in the morning. tom homan joins us. you know him. former acting ice director. over the last two days griff has been talking to people. the reason they are marching north, they need to make money or they have got family there those are two reasons not would qualify you for asylum. >> no. to qualify for asylum you have to be escaping fear and persecution because of your race, ethnicity or political beliefs. coming for a better life doesn't qualify for asylum. i can't blame anybody want to be the greatest country on earth. you can't be a part of the greatest country on earth and not respect its laws. stopped in line with the other millions of people

standing in line. brian: here's the problem. they keep coming. there is three or four in a row now. why do they keep coming when they know it's reasonable doubt going to be hard to come. >> in why would they stop coming you have a democratic congress refuses to build a wall. a democratic house that refuses to address the loopholes that caused this illegal immigration. you bring a child you won't be detained more than 10 days and get released and won't show up in court. even if you show up in court you won't leave. less than 2% have left. why would you stop coming? why would you stop coming? have you liberal judges in the ninth circuit saying you can't detain families long enough to see judge. this is an open border. that's why this is a crisis. it's not a manufactured crisis. this is a crisis. this is an open border agenda and people are coming to this country our sovereignty as a country is under attack. this is a crisis. president trump is 100 percent right on this issue. ainsley: tom, i know you were on capitol hill with all the angel moms and dads the other day knocking on the offices of nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and they wouldn't come out and talk to the angel parents. hats off to you for paying

attention to them and telling their stories. i know some in the audience have questions for you. i'm told trish has a question for you. where are you from, please? >> new hampshire. ainsley: what's your question for tom? >> i was just wondering, do the democrats ever ask you, your opinion on what we need on the border? >> of course they don't. they don't like what i have got to say. look, do you notice the democratic congressman rush to the border when the two children died. a tragedy. nobody wants to see that happen. very tragic and sad. rush to the border to demand an investigation into the 20,000 american patriots that wear that uniform. i welcome an investigation. find out border patrol did everything they can to save these children. have you seen nancy pelosi and chuck schumer go down to the border for the crisis? have they asked the men and women in green uniforms who stand on post every day for this country do you need a wall? they don't want to hear the answers that make sense. that's why nancy pelosi and chuck schumer refuse to get a briefing from the secretary of homeland security on the border. that's why i am grateful we have a president like

president trump to right guy at the right time who is going it speak straight to the american people and tell him what's going on. brian: walls are immoral. >> walls aren't immoral. what's immoral is someone who is the speaker of the house number one responsibility is to protect this country and protect the citizens of this country. the problem is she hates this president more than she loves this country. [cheers and applause] she certainly hates this president more than she takes her responsibility to protect this nation. steve: all right. jacqueline and michael rohas where are you seated? right over here. what's your question? where are you from? i understanding you have personally -- your family has experienced gang violence? >> yeah. we have had family members who have been assaulted by a number of different people. different types of gangs. we don't know exactly where they are from if they were here illegally. you know, we constantly here in the news that ice is acting immorally, unethically and violating laws. my question for you is, have

any ice agents ever been prosecuted for any of these crimes that are being levied against them by the media or by the democrats? >> of course there has been incidents throughout history there may be a few officers that stepped outside the line like any other law enforcement agency. i can tell you i commanded this agency of 20,000 american patriots. these are people -- people out there right now where w. a gun strapped to the hip. putting their lives on the line. they are not getting paid. these are men and women trying to protect this nation. and you talk about gang violence. here is another fact that no one wants to talk about. nancy pelosi made a comment during her rebuttal address that families aren't a threat to this country. let me tell you something, when we came to new york city and long island we did operation matador target ms-13 members. 40% of those gang members we arrested entered this country as a part of a family unit. steve: tom, what do you make

of nancy pelosi yesterday asking the president put on hold the state of the union because of security? the department of homeland security came out and said we're ready. you used to be in that department. what do you sty nancy pelosi? >> she is disgusting. [laughter] [applause] steve: is she trying to make a point? >> she is scared to death that a president is going to speak straight to the american people more than 8 minutes. and explain there is a crisis on the border. this isn't just about enforcing the law. this is about saving lives. if there would have been a wall in that area where those two children crossed, they may be alive today. i have seen if nancy pelosi saw what i saw the 34 years of my career, maybe she would have a different attitude. because i have stood in back of a tractor-trailer surrounded by 19 dead aliens including 5-year-old boy died in his father's arms because he suffocated to death. because when you entice people to come to this country illegally because you push sanctuary cities, you want to abolish ice. you want no enforcement of our border laws and don't fix the loopholes like the

asylum laws that entices people to come to this country. when new york city wants to give them free medical care and instate tuition. more people come to this country and more die. i have seen more people die in this journey. just not about protecting the sovereignty of this country and enforcing laws saving lives a vulnerable population being mislead. brian: well said, tom.

[ singing in spanish ] [cheers and applause] brian: all right. let's talk politics, rising democratic star and possible 2020 contender, beto o'rourke stirring up controversy this week, questioning the constitutional principles our country was founded on. ainsley: unbelievable. in an interview with the "the washington post," he said, quote: i think that's the question of the moment. does this still work can a empire like ours with military presence in over 170 countries around the globe with trading relationships can it still be managed by the principles that were set down 230-plus years ago? steve: what does senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano joins us

now. is that just two antiquated to follow? >> god, i hope not. the whole purpose of the constitution was to establish the government and limit it to provide for a limited government and to guarantee personal liberty. i don't know what was in congressman o'rourke's head. of course, i read the interview several times to try to figure out what was in his head. i think he is not appealing to middle america. he is appealing to a very hard left that basically wants the government to redistribute wealth. steve: those are primary voters. >> judge: yes. the redistribution of wealth, which we do engage in to a certain extent, under beto o'rourke and his colleagues would be without end. brian: i will tell you with the guest who is defending beto o'rourke said last night to tucker. he said it's a common argument in judicial circles to talk about the constitution as a living, breathing document or one that should be taken verbatim. >> you know, my late, wonderful friend justice scalia argued that if the

constitution is the supreme law of the land then it means the same thing today as it meant when the -- when it was ratified and we should look to the original understanding of the constitution. the constitution changes with the times, then it is not the supreme law of the land. the political winds become the supreme law of the land. ainsley: judge, let's ask some of our audience members. how many of you think the constitution is still relevant. raise your hand. steve: who thinks it's time to start from scratch? >> god have mercy if we started from scratch. brian: federalist papers, back off. steve: mitchell, back there in the second row. you used to be are the irs. >> i am still with the irs i'm currently furloughed. my question is so many employees working through the shutdown or just recently been called back as of yesterday. but there's no end to when this is going to go on. they don't know when they are getting paid. they have child care. they need travel expenses just to get back and forth

to work. steve: are you hurting personally. >> personally, no. i have a lot of friends that are and couples that work there. is there any recourse that they have? how long could they let this go on? judge: i don't know how long it could go on. it's worse than we think it is. my colleagues on the bench are telling me fbi agents can't get into courtrooms to testify because their credit cards don't work and can't get gas into their cars and u.s. marshals can't get prisoners into courtroom for their own hearings. prisoners are being held in jail without hearings to which they have an absolute right because the government can't physically get them from the jail to the courthouse. ainsley: can i ask michelle a question? what are your employee friends saying? how are they paying their bills most americans do live paycheck to paycheck. >> people have taken withdraws out on annuities to get them through this. and a lot of people are just borrowing from friends, doing whatever they in hopes this is going to end

quickly. brian: credit cards you pay interest and not going to get that back when a paycheck comes. in this is not insurmountable. steve: michelle, we are all thinking about you. >> if your credit rating is damaged your national security clearance could be damaged. steve: judge, thank you very much. ed hen i didn't in the house --e house next. ♪ so even when she outgrows her costume, we'll never outgrow the memory of our adventure together. unlock savings when you add select hotels to your existing trip. only when you book with expedia.

not. it shows these democratic leaders are under heavy pressure to oppose everything that's got trump's name on it whether it's the wall. steny hoyer said some parts of it were or the state of the union address which isn't off. it's still on. steve: the president has not officially responded to say i'm going to go on the senate side or do it live from the white house because he doesn't know if he was actually disinvited, remember, she did invite him. or if it's just a political theater. ed: you were talking to tom homan saying there was security concerns. homeland security department says no there are not. it's going to be just fine. she never asked us. it's worse than that in a way. she first invite you had the president january 3rd when she took over as speaker. shutdown already started. if there were security problems now there would have been security problems earlier in the shutdown as well. they have competing pressures. have you democratic senator joe manchin went on cnn yesterday and said she is not being nice to the president. if we want to get a deal we should reach across not

where the migrant caravan is continuing to head to the north. currently ranges anywhere from 1500 to 2,000. those are the estimates. and what is interesting is when they went from the country of honduras in guatemala yesterday, guatemala officials actually asked for papers. and some people who did not have papers or who were wanted on warrants were not allowed to proceed. brian: yeah. that's the least of our worries. we just can't stop it right now. many people speculating maybe we should give these countries more money in order to make these countries better so they don't want to come here. we are already giving hundreds of millions of dollars just to get their act together. i don't trust the government with the money we give them anyway with the money. ainsley: we have talked to people in our audience furloughed who aren't getting paychecks and sitting home living paycheck to paycheck. extremely difficult. when you watch, our lawmakers that we elected we went to the polls to elect. we see them not wanting to budge and not wanting to compromise.

it's extremely frustrating u. steve: then you look at nancy pelosi. we know that the state of the union, when the president goes up and addresses a joint session of congress, coming up not this next tuesday but the tuesday after that. that's when it was -- when nancy pelosi invited him to show up. well, yesterday, extraordinarily, first time in history, she said, mr. president, because of the government shutdown, don't come. the rationale was that there was a safety problem. but then you heard from the department of homeland security and the secret service and they said what are you talking about? there is no safety problem. i heard from somebody in the administration this morning for goodness sakes, the president of the united states during the shutdown went to iraq. he can go to the capital. it's not that big of deal. ainsley: that's a great point. they have been planning this for months. despite the shutdown the mission has not changed. brian: so is a 21-year-old terrorist planning to go and attack the white house. you know how vital our intelligence is as well as our law enforcement. meanwhile, the question is, did they make any progress yesterday when susan collins, when rob portman,

when joe manchin, when kyrsten sinema and chris coons went to the white house to try to work something out, it all depends on how much they are going to put toward a border barrier, not even a fence. nancy pelosi says nothing. and these democrats are beginning to say yeah. we will put something out there. something has got to break soon. for steve scalise, house minority whip now, is he watching these negotiations take place. he says it's all out of control. >> the left is becoming unhinged. look,istic in all those meetings in the situation room with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, the top leaders of the house and senate. every single meeting the president was not only calm but he was putting options on the table to reopen the government while securing the border. not one single time, laura, did they ever put an alternative on the table. not once. steve: and it does look, unfortunately, as if this could actually be the tone that the democrats are going to take for the next two years. just whatever the president suggests, stop, just stop. as we have heard.

brian: why would you reelect anybody that just doesn't have an agenda that is just there to stop the president. for example, they have goals, too. is it infrastructure? is their goal to raise taxes? whatever it is, they can't do it as long as the government is shutdown. steve: look, brian, a lot of them got elected to you do, this to resistth president. and now think are doin they are. ainsley: listen to journalists and reporters there, they would make you believe that the rest of the world -- or the rest of our country agrees with nancy pelosi. our audience when we started the show how many think the president shouldn't do the state of the union and listen to nancy pelosi. no one agreed with nancy pelosi. they all want the president to continue doing this even people furloughed said please, president, press on. rush limbaugh had this to say. >> can i tell you, folks, if president trump can hang in there, if he can hang in there and not go wobbly, he can win this.

four weeks, a lot of risks, there are going to be a lot of temptations to drop the ball and cave. i don't mean cave. there is going to be a lot of temptation to make a deal. and he can win this if he just hangs in there. steve: then he went to a commercial u. brian: he did, obviously. the president can win by still compromising. he is not going to get everything he wants. it's impossible. steve: he has already compromised. brian: he wants between -- obviously over the 1.3 up to 5.8. maybe give up some daca pathway to citizenship. there is something else they could do there i think doing a deal also shows great leadership. right now, of the polls show he is getting most of the blame. 49% blame him. 33% blame the democrats. that's the general population. steve: going in, he said i'm going to own it the american public thinks that. meanwhile the biggest tv show of the year is the

super bowl this year there is some controversy about whether or not the performers, which would include maroon 5, travis scott and big boy whether or not they should actually take a knee during their performances? solidarity with collin kaepernick. apparently change.org put out a petition. ainsley: apparently the ratings went up for the nfl this year. brian: hugely. ainsley: because they were not showing the video, photographers were not showing the players when they were taking knees. brian: we don't know. they stopped televising the national anthem. now, the nfl is going to have a problem. they always televise the national anthem during out super bowl. there is the flyover where there is some type of celebration you take the shot because even though this will be indoors in atlanta, you see the players with their hands over their hearts. how are they going to get around it? my sense maroon 5 travis scott under a lot of pressure performing with the entertainment community. now if they don't take a knee and this thing gains

momentum what are they going to do. if they do it almost becomes the story of the super bowl after. what a tough spot the nfl is in. steve: 85,000 big number which have signed the petition. how many tens of millions actually watch the super bowl. ainsley is going to go over and talk to the folks who have gathered here in studio f. ainsley: hey, everyone, talk all so much for being here. do all of you watch football or watch the super bowl? >> used to watch it. ainsley: where from you. >> andy dwyer in long island. >> it's nonsense. taking a to me. disrespecting the military. the police services. it's ridiculous that they do. this these people are so far out of touch with what's going on. ainsley: sir, do you watch football. >> yes. ainsley: are you going to watch the super bowl? >> i think at the end of the day, we are talking about, you know, still what i believe is america's game. i think if you remember after 9/11, when you had you know, giants came out the first game, i think that, you know, if you could imagine somebody taking a

knee at that moment and what that would have felt like, then i think on some basic level that we can recognize that a knee is more than just a knee. if we look at it from another perspective, any time you have a protest that fractions the coalition of people that might be inclined to support you. you are probably doing something in a manner that is not the most effective. ainsley: tell me your name and where you from. >> joe from new york. ainsley: thanks, joe. rick behind is you a veteran. i love your shirt folds of honor we have dan rooney on the show all the time. >> i'm in the reserves. i have been in for 24 years. and i grew up n 49 it angered me so much that i started with kaepernick. so i stopped watching football about two years ago because i love this country and i couldn't see anything more disrespectful. so, you know, that's why, of course, that's my phone going off. ainsley: we found the culprit. [laughter] ainsley: answer your phone. >> my alarm.

i'm sorry about that. lafayettabout.[laughter] ainsley: show of hands everyone for the wall. tell me why. do we have anyone who wants to answer that, yes, sir. tell me your name and where you are from. >> tom rosen from staten island. >> firefighter. >> marine. ainsley: marine, god bless you. >> i'm for the wall because you need a physical barrier to determine where your country begins and ends. there is no argument there. with the wall, we can do immigration reform because you have to think of it this way. when these people come over here illegally, wanting a better life, more money, what recourse do they have when a person hires them and then stiffs them, give you $100 today at the end of the day you know what? take $20 and be on your way. if they were here registered, legal, they can now go to the law and say i had a contract with this individual for $100, he

stiffed me and gave me 20. he has got a resource. soa recourse.we need immigratiom to give these people some type of right. they are not all bad people. ainsley: right. >> there is a bad element. there is a really bad element. ainsley: most of you civilians came from all over the country. we appreciate that we have experts in the audience too because we want to get their point of view. dr. porcher, you were raising your hand. what did you want to say? >> i think border security is very important. but it's multifaceted. border security. i understand where donald trump stands protecting us in the united states. when you go south of mexico. what do you see at the southern border of mexico? you see a wall. therefore it makes all the sense in the world for us to have that one of the issues that i have caravans coming in succession one after the other, come to the northern

border of mexico. and we have to do something. we had to director of ice here recently. he stated his pledge as to what he felt was necessary. the truth of the matter is this is an ever so evolving situation. we have to do something. if we don't. it's going to continue to flourish. ainsley: raise your hand so the audience knows where you are right here on the very end from new york, right? >> from connecticut. ainsley: i'm sorry. i thought you said new york when i walked in and i met you the first time. i'm holding this letter that nancy pelosi sent to the president. she invited him state of the union address in the beginning of the month when we were in the shutdown. now she is saying you know what? i think you should submit it in writing or delay it because of security concerns. the security says she never even called us. the secret service says we have got this. we can protect the president. what's your message. the president might be watching. what would you say to him? do you want the show to do on? >> i want the show to go on. it is okay to have a difference of opinion it is healthy and creates conversation. as long as the conversation leads to solutions, when the

conversation leads to disrespecting the president of the united states and the office of the presidency, everything breaks down. so, i think the president needs to continue going forward. we elected him to go forward and have the dignity of this office and stop the hate. ainsley: lady behind you shaking your head yes. tell us your name. >> i'm here from new york city as well. and i just feel that we have -- like she said, we have to respect the office of the presidency. and look what's at the best interest of american citizens not what's partisan and not what's in your personal best interest but yet, look at it as a whole. in addition for reform, you mentioned physical security. i'm sorry for the border security, physical security. we also have to look at the diseases that are coming in. as a physician, i look at measles, meningitis, the flu that's coming in over the border. it's not just physical safety and security, but out diseases that are coming in. they don't have immunizations. ainsley: worry about those kids, too. thank you so much for being

that it is effectively a fraud. they are getting people very excited about this. going and we're going to make this. it's going to be inevitable. what they are doing is moving people in for 2020 and 2024 to vote and have an impact almost reensconcing the establishment democrats and that's what they don't realize there have to be real questions that have to be asked. also in this public conversation, the republicans have to step up and explain, you know, not man splain the situation but really go in there and young people want to be free in this country. they want to be able to live their lives. it is the conservative ideal that delivers that this is effectively as we have seen around the world enslavement, economic enslavement that's being argued for and our responsibility caring about everyone in this country to make sure americans know this, especially young people. steve: sounds like a clash between the progressives and the establishment democrats? >> yes. the establishment democrats also don't have anyone's best interest in mind. so this is a civil war

democrats can't even back up the security message that nancy pelosi put out there. >> no, i heard nancy pelosi and i thought you liar. that is absolutely not true. first of all, the house of representatives, the capitol hill police play a pivotal role. they are fully fund you had. there is no excuse there. you heard homeland security secretary say the secret service will be there. they will make sure that place is safe and secure. absolutely the president should address the nation. and, remember, just two weeks ago nancy pelosi went to the floor and said we are going to be transparent. we are going to have town hall. we are going to allow debate. she wants to shut down the debate because she knows the president will win this argument. steve: also, she invite you had the president to the state of the union and it was during the shutdown. >> exactly. steve: have you written a great op-ed available at friends@foxnews.com. you are saying that mitch mcconnell should probably step up to the plate and do something. >> i really wish that the at the end of the 115th congress that the senate had actually gone on the record and voted you had. he this should have voted on

that package. it's time for mitch mcconnell to amend the house bill and vote on it in the senate. steve: how would that work? >> look, let the people go on the record. it's one thing to say well, i have got concerns about this. i'm telling you as a former member of congress when you actually have to vote yea or ney, let's put people on the record. let's see who actually wants to open the government and who wants to keep it closed. i think that's a very tough vote for a lot of democrats. >> go back to the last congress where the republican house passed 5.-something billion dollars? can you do that. >> the senate can amend it to whatever they want. put the border wall funding in there. force those senators to vote and let's see who wants to open the government and who wants to shut it down. that's tough for people like joe marchenning and others. steve: who thinks that's a good idea? [cheers and applause] ainsley: congressman, some people in the audience have questions for you. richard in the back row has questions for you. who is richard? please raise your hand. what's your full name and where are you from? steve: go ahead and stand up. >> richard from new york.

good morning to you all. steve: good morning. >> this looks like the longest government shutdown. what are the impacts if it goes longer, two or three weeks longer? are we going to be able to fly? are our military going to be paid? my second question is why are members of congress being paid? how do we pass a law so they are not paid during a government shutdown? [applause] >> most of the government is still open. in the past, the shutdown is really the pinch points have been that the veterans weren't getting paid, the v.a. wasn't open. the military wasn't getting paid. but all of that is funded. it's really focused in large part on homeland security and that's where americans will feel that i went through the airport yesterday and i have got to tell you those tsa people that are showing up, doing their jobs and not getting a check, pat them on the back and thanks them because they are doing a great job. brian: you can pat them on the back while you are patting you down. >> they can pat you down and you can pat them on the back. it will be a two-way experience. steve: where is david on the front row. david over here on the end. good morning to you where

are you from. >> i'm from texas. glad to be here. steve: what's your question for jason chaffetz. >> my question is if we open the government back up, how much further kick the can down the road? i know in years past fund the government temporarily and discuss this later. this continues and continues on. how long are we going to let it continue? >> it's really up to the democrats. that's why i think mitch mcconnell ought to bring up a vote. i'm proud of president trump because he is forcing the issue. most of the people that i have seen in the past, they would have oh no, we can't handle this and they would just, you know, they would have just given up that ground and we would still be dealing with it we have to find a resolution to this. the president is going to win this fight though because it's the right fight. it's what the border security experts want. it's for national security. it's protecting our nation. and democrats have a huge problem on their hands. steve: jason chaffetz, ladies and gentlemen.

[applause] brian: look at thee issues. the shutdown continues. the president is trying to say what i'm asking is not unique. other leaders have asked and gotten this. pete: and it has worked. where it has been used it

has worked. i thought about this in my own personal experience. every time we went, iraq, afghanistan, you set up a location. the first thing do you is put in place physical barriers. a wall. concertina wire. if you believe your country is worthy of that security, it's the first thing you should do not the last one. that's why i think the president is on the most important point on this issue and should stick with it. the hypocrisy of course is glaring. nancy pelosi and all the leaders who live behind walls telling people they don't deserve them as well. it's a double standard that's existed for too long and tolerate to do long and time to dig in u i'm of the belief keep it shut down as long as you need it to get the wall built. steve: only problem is some federal workers are hurting because. >> that is part of it, no doubt. steve: that is parity of the negotiation, unfortunately. we have some folks who have questions. this guy in a white shirt held up his finger earlier. what's your name, sir? >> william from

playersville, georgia up in the mountains. the question i have. pete: close to alabama. >> being retired military and veterans around me here all have the same question. talking about the crisis in syria right now with general mattis stepping down and donald trump, president trump pulling the troops out, we're afraid that's going to create a vacuum where isis could rear its ugly head again. what are your thoughts? we obviously don't have the intelligence that they have from the inner circle. brian: like they did yesterday killing 16, including four americans. >> yeah. brian: and claiming responsibility. pete: thank you for your service by the way. we appreciate it for those of us that have served there is a special investment in making sure that that sacrifice is honored. at the same time, i at the same time we have to be clear-eyed what's happened since 9/11 and not allow all of our foreign policy be dictated what happened on 9/11. there are places where we need to be and places where we have been too long with too many people and too much investment. afghanistan, iraq, and syria

are part of that we have got to keep crushing isis and the folks that wish us harm but you can't stay there forever and spend billions and trillions that's the point. brian: clearly they are not dead. pete: they will never be dead. there will always be radicals. brian: take your foot off the neck they will coal up again. pete: got it find the right neck. that's the point. brian: didn't find it yet. ainsley: who does the president consult to get the answers. this intelligence? pete: he has a great national security team john bolton and others. mike pompeo know these issues. steve: the president of the united states when he was running for president said he was going to do this so there is no surprise. brian: knee-jerk reaction. pete: doesn't appear to me to be knee jerk. steve: ladies and gentlemen, pete hegseth. who wants to stick around for the weekend show. pete: do you want to come here for the weekend?

my thing you can't understand from these kits if that's true or not. i'm asking you if that's true and secondly, if not, what other things do you to avoid terrible diseases such as alzheimer's? ainsley: ski a crowd before you answer? how many would want to know if you could test to find out if you are going to have alzheimer's. would anyone want to know that? >> yes. ainsley: you would. >> those are two great questions. genetic test something on the forefront. a lot of people doing it i work at a big cancer center so i see that a lot and also alzheimer's. when it comes to genetic testing they are not as comprehensive as we would like to see. it may come back positive or negative but that doesn't necessarily mean you are going to get something or not going to. i'm very iffy. i don't think people should be doing genetic testing without advisement of a genetic counselor. some of it in your genes and you can't do anything to prevent it living the healthiest cub. exercise. >> mediterranean diet and make sure lifelong learning. challenge your brain, doing

those puzzles, reading books, learning things new that's the best thing can you do to prevent alzheimer's. ainsley: a school teacher friends on social media, katy, what's your question on the diet. >> i want to know your opinion on the ever so popular keto diet. >> trust me i get that question all the time. i'not a massive fan trend diets. a lot of people are having success keto better blood pressure comes to diabetes and reducing seizures in children. however, and that's a big however, it's really hard to maintain for a lot of people. so when you have such a strict diet that's especially high in fats and red meat i worry about the long-term effects on close sterile, heart disease, kidneys and also if you can't maintain it. so if you lose your weight but then you gain it back, people tend to gain back more weight and been linked to increase in mortality. if you are picking a diet. pick something you can stick with and couple it with exercise and do it under a doctor's guidance, of course. ainsley: thanks,

given the fact that the government was closed, she decided to go ahead and essentially say, mr. president, maybe you shouldn't come this time. brian: steny hoyer came out said this isn't final. if we can't get the shutdown solved by end of the week. she wrote this. this is excerpt. sadly given the security concerns unless government reopens this i suggest we work together to determine another suitable day. she goes on. you can write it down, drop it off or do it from the oval office. kind of an insult. this is political games and political theater. keep in mind yesterday both sides came together, at least some representatives. they put together the draft of a letter that would allow the president, if they were to adhere to, to open the government for 3 1/2 weeks and negotiate on the final homeland security portion which would be the fence. the problem was there is nothing in this draft letter that says we will negotiate on building a barrier. they just talk about an investment in the southern border, which is back to square

one. so i'm not sure -- ainsley: when she invited the president to speak in front of congress, that was the 3rd of january, the government was already shut down. many are wondering why she is now using that as an excuse when she invited him a few weeks ago. keep in mind he is not supposed to speak to all of us, give an address, on the 29th. that is week 1/2 away. hopefully democrats and republicans can get something done before that and she gives the address no questions asked. >> because the government is shut down, department of homeland security, secret service are not getting paid. secret service is and department of homeland security is coming out and saying what is she talking about? she didn't call us. we've been working for months to make sure the chambers are safe and secure. jason chaffetz former congressman from the great state of utah, headed up the house oversight committee was on the

couch 20 minutes ago and said this about what is going on. >> the house of representatives, capitol hill police, pay a pivotal role, they're fulling funded. there is no excuse there. you heard the homeland security secretary say, the secret service, they will be there, make sure the place is safe and secure. absolutely the president should address the nation. remember just two weeks ago the nancy pelosi said we'll be transparent, have a town hall, we want debate. she wants to shut down the debate the president will win the argument. steve: she -- he will win the argument. rush limbaugh said he will win the argument as long as he does not cave. she shouldn't have rescinded invitation to the president. as karl rove said. last time it wasn't done, it was jimmy carter. reinvigorated this in 1913. pouring washington, used to go.

want to know the state of the union? here it is. now something people want to look forward to. here is how optimistic. we'll go to washington, d.c. i booked the travel to go. i believe there will be a state of the union. steve: it is interesting, because the famous line of the state of the union, the president always says the state of our union is strong or good but in this time, would he say the state of our union, not so hot right now. that woman behind me won't negotiate with me. ainsley: that is why nancy pelosi doesn't want him to speak. he gets the attention and he can point to her, say she is the reason there is a shutdown. steve: attention today is on the audience. brian to over to talk to folks about the news of the day. brian: everybody is talking about the shutdown, how it affects everyone. a study out said 82% of the country does not feel the effects of the shutdown. does anyone feel the effects of the shutdown personally? >> i came back from miami yesterday. it was real problem to the

airport at miami international. in addition i was in the miami federal court there was a shortage of u.s. marshals in the court. i clearly do see it. brian: yeah. >> the more you engage the federal system the more you see it. the average citizen doesn't necessarily engage the federal system, once you do that you will see it. brian: all right. somebody else, who else flew yesterday? legooch. do you have a nickname the gooch you flew from? >> texas. brian: and? >> no problem. brian: they were working for free in? >> yes we thanked them. brian: they are working for free. have to go to the credit cards make payments. won't get the interest back. >> i think idea they're working for free. they're working right now not being paid, the government will fund them once it opens up again. they will receive the pay retroactively. brian: you have seen the polls,

"q-polls," generic polls, "washington post" poll says the president is losing this argument. the gap is widing. when he was in the oval office 2 1/2 weeks ago it is on me. a lot of supporters i'm worth it. in the general population, people are not as enthusiastic about politics or as involved as you guys are, he seems to be losing the battle. who wants to weigh in how we start persuading people didn't vote for him that this is the right fight? sir, what is your name? >> i'm rick. brian: good to see you. >> i'm wondering with the border patrol agents, all the ones see on the network, is there any way of getting them some airtime? they're the ones requesting the barrier. i don't understand how the word can't get around to everyone else. brian: rick, we were down there. i don't know if you noticed. we had pete hegseth still here, we gave him free chik-fil-a if he stuck around. he is talking to them. tom homan, former i.c.e. director. border patrol president, council

president saying exact same thing. people in texas, lawmakers, will hurd, we got mountains and we got protection. to me combination of both. the president can do a good job saying not just about the wall, the barrier, the slats. what is your name? >> william from georgia. brian: all right, william. >> the other network had reporter that was down there and there was a wall there, saying that he didn't see -- brian: jim acosta. >> wasn't going to say. basically makes the president's point this wall is being effective. you need to push that more, so that the rest of the nation sees that. brian: first off, who haven't we heard from yet you want to weigh in? who haven't we heard from yet? hey, katy. her full name is kathleen. >> that is true. brian: where are you from? >> north carolina. brian: this is birthday present for yourself. >> it is. brian: all by herself. she wanted to hang out with ashley. >> honestly, you mentioned the

polling, i hesitate to really give much credence to the polling because it seems to me that it is kind of skewed. or at least i heard maybe it is not accurate. brian: look, we tend to, i'm guilty of this too, when you see a poll makes no sense, you go, that can't be right. i don't think you can do it part time. we know this, the president feels the fight is worth it. that is why he takes responsibility. some people say, well he took responsibility. he is to blame. my sense is, if he could turn it around, say if you could promise to even talk about building a barrier i will open up for 3 1/2 weeks. the pressure goes on the speaker, pledge a dollar. you in the back, sir. when it comes to the whole issue, where are you from? >> boston, massachusetts. brian: boston, massachusetts. what is your first name? >> joe. brian: all right, joe. you see trending currently, the speaker is so confident she is not talking right now. what would mange that? >> more media, getting on board

explaining both sides of the story. brian: yeah. >> i'm retired law enforcement. some of the things is the message. the message beginning part both sides agree we need a wall. we need to say that not a matter of other say we don't need a wall. they are saying need a wall. argument may be how do we do it but they agree we need a wall. brian: debra, some democrats come out said the wall is not immoral. the wall, it works in many places like joe manchin. even senator warner indicated, there is not on the same page as nancy pelosi. do you think the president could start driving the wedge? >> i certainly hope so. i think president trump should steak nancy and chuck, all the important people on the plane and go down there and take a look. we're representative government and i think that our government needs get it together, frankly. if anyone, nancy, although she

hates wall i think she is building a wall between her and negotiating. i think it's really -- brian: absolutely. [applause] we know the walls are not only thing. if they didn't work they wouldn't be around prisons. if they didn't work wouldn't be in hungary with the immigration situation they have right now. wouldn't be so effective from israel. this should be a combination. this should not be happening. this is solvable problem. this is special privilege. i never seen bill hemmer and san disa smith. i just talk to them. they're getting ready to host their show.

kentucky gop senator rand paul joins us with a inside look. any hope to the shut down. >> i have the answer. i brought it today. i introduced it yesterday. it is called the shutdown prevention act. what it does in this, if congress does not pass the appropriations bills on time, the government shuts down, but money is spent, 1% across the board for everything. if 90 days, they haven't passed spending bills, it is cut 1%. brian: we need to do that anyway. >> we would keep spending money but spend a little bit less, a little bit less. brian: great theory. it will never pass, right? >> we'll see. the country has to decide, if every democrat votes against my bill, shows the democrats are really not serious about preventing shutdowns. ainsley: how do you see it all shaking out? what is going to happen? >> i was at the white house yesterday. i talked with the president.

the president is a negotiator. people know that you can't negotiate with someone not willing to negotiate. right now nancy pelosi's position is zero, all right? the president's position is 5.7 billion. i think he is staying on that. to tell you the truth, there is my opinion meeting somewhere in the middle but nancy pelosi has to come off at zero. she stays on zero, really this is on nancy pelosi keeping government shut. she is not willing to negotiate or compromise. brian: american people are saying she is still shut down, they're saying zero. we'll see what the polling looks like coming up shortly. meantime she sent the president a note. hey because there is a shutdown, this is a scary place, you know, secret service and department of homeland security, those people aren't getting paid. we have to worry about security even though they said nobody talked to us and we're fine, she tries, is trying to essentially call off the state of the union. >> yeah. i think that is a real affront to the american people. what i would suggest is, senator mcconnell is in charge of the senate.

let's host it in the senate. first time in history that the house would deny the president a forum of speaking f she is going to do that, let's hold it in the senate. steve: let's ask the crowd here, do you think if the good idea, if nancy pelosi won't hold it, move it across the building to the senate? [applause] brian: another example of more dysfunction and embarassment. a lot of empty seats at state of the union. meanwhile, tragic news of 16 deaths in syria, in an area which we occupied. four which were american, two croattores. two contractors, and two soldiers. lindsey graham heard this as chairman of judiciary. he was dealing with the barr hearings. and he realized his greatest fear was coming true as we leave a vacuum, isis is moving in. isis claimed responsibility. listen. >> every american wants our troops to come home but i think all of us want to make sure when they do come home we're safe. so i would hope the president

would look long and hard where he is he had haded in syria. brian: you still feel strongly that we should pull out of an area? >> yeah. i talked to the president yesterday about this in the white house and the president's first concern is over the loss of life. i think his heart goes out to those families. he has been to walter reed. he talked very passionately yesterday about the deaths of our soldiers how he wants to be different from most presidents we'll going to war but we're never going to win, we're never going to come home. to those who say, lindsey graham is frankly wrong, if we leave they will reorganize. they kill each other 1000 years over there. they still celebrate the battle of from 6 ad. what i've been saying they have been killing each other 1000 years. there will always be radical islam over there, we helped to the people to the tune of trillion dollars they need to stand up and fight. we killed 99% of isis. is there a remnant over there?

can they not kill 1%? not do their job? what i would say when islam beginses to police islam when i think it will happen. america can't always be the one that pays for it. brian: it is not about america paying for it. abouting next 9/11 attack. one thing is clear, when we had the policy of bill clinton not letting al qaeda metastasize in afghanistan, they killed thousands of people here in new york city. when we had barack obama policy pulling out of iraq prematurely, we get isis and almost lose the entire region. >> here is the argument, brian, it's a fallacy. we've been in afghanistan for 17 years. people like yourself saying precipitous. we'll leave afghanistan. we've been there 17 years. you will say the same thing 17 more years. too soon to leave. in 1000 years you will say it, these people are going to be killing each other in 1000 years. brian: it is about us. >> they are not killing us. brian: islamic extremists.

what don't you understand about that. steve: big studio audience here. who feels regarding syria, time to bring men and women home. see hands of time to bring men and women home? who thinks we should stay there. i would say feel time to come home, still, a strong plurality of people. >> it is good debate to have but the thing is, constitution was very clear. when we go to war we're supposed to vote on it. brian: this is different type of war. ainsley: there will be some people that do remain, some of our soldiers remain there try to protect our country. >> the interesting thing for all gnashing of teeth the president is actually moving most of the forces 50 miles away. there is a big base in iraq. but the president says one thing over and over again. this is very important, even for brian to understand, is, that the iraq war was a huge mistake. it destablized middle east and made iran stronger. iran's best ally now sir rack. the government of iraq, we put

in place is now best friends with iran and iran is stronger. everybody worries about iran but mainly because we went in, we destablized the middle east. interventions backfire. got rid of gadhafi in israel. brian: you have to have a 2018 philosophy. ainsley: thank you, senator. judge jeanine pirro is here live.

planet they're from, all right? there are democrats said we need a wall, a steel slat barrier. make no mistake, the president has bent on this. he went from 35 billion to five billion. now we have money for humanitarian causes, detention beds, technology. we have all that stuff. by the way they all wanted it when obama was in. give me a break. this is about stopping the president. this is not about governing. this is not about taking care of us. it is about, having a hissy fit because they don't like the people elected donald trump. steve: judge, we'll get on up, go over to the people. who has got a question for judge jeanine? this fellow right here. what is your name, sir? >> joseph. >> hi, joseph. steve: where are you from? >> new york. yonkers to be specific. >> yea.

>> we realize comes to the speaker this is not about the business of america. this is about the business of trying to win an election in 2020. reality she decided she can't be bothered to stand up and sit down when we have people literally in the coast guard standing up for america without a paycheck. so my question to you is, do you think that perhaps this might be a tipping point where they have perhaps overplayed their hand? now the american people see they're playing political games. steve: good question. >> it's a great question band it's a tipping point. everybody in america goes to work every day. you may not feel well. you may, whatever your situation is, but you go to work. you have to take care of your family. they were elected to represent us and take care of us and they're not doing it. they put a stake in the ground and they're saying don't cross it, any of you. steve: no paychecks you said a moment ago. >> that's what we have to do. take away their paychecks.
