bottom of it. ainsley: the covington high school story. steve: we told you after they met with the police covington catholic high school decided to close their doors yesterday to everybody. they apparently deleted their website facebook page disconnected their phone number put out the message to please keep covington catholic high school in your prayers because of the social media outrage after this image went viral. initially, it was look at that kid in that maga cap. is he smirking. and is he mocking that native american. we know that narrative is not true. it's been turned on its head and that young man in the red hat is actually going to be on another morning show later on today and he said look i was not disrespectful to that person. ainsley: they released a clip. actually hearing from both of them. first play the sound by the of nick sandman and savanna guthrie asked him do you feel you owe anybody an apology? this was his response. >> as far as standing there,

i had every right to do so. my position inside i was not disrespectful. i was respect him. i would like to talk to him. i mean, in hindsight i wish we could have walked away and avoided the whole thing. brian: that wouldn't have diffused it even if he had walked away it didn't seem like it anyway. turn and walk and not show up your your protest and sat there and stared. that's not aggressive. nathan phillips found out something about his background. he wasn't in vietnam. is he not a vietnam war veteran but did he write this in the enquirer in a response to the -- in response to this whole incident. he, meaning the kid you just heard from stole my narrative. from the time i hit that first beat of the drum until i hit the last beat, i was in prayer. now all of a sudden he's the prayer guy and the pacific one. ainsley: he was never deployed to vietnam.

"the washington post" had to make a correction on that. he did serve in the marines from 1972 to 1977. steve: during the vietnam era. meanwhile, you know, for a lot of people, they are are looking at how this all started it looks like a social media family numb. fen phenomenon. the image went out. they thought it was from a california school teacher but then they realized this is from a blogger in brazil. twitter can't tell exactly where it's from. nonetheless, they took down that particular website on twitter. but at the same time, there are a number of people who are tweeted things about those kids, calling for their death and their family's death and everything else that are still up. we're going to have very shortly with us an attorney who is representing some of the children for free to go after the people who have not yet taken down or apologized about the story they tried to spread like wildfire that is wrong. ainsley: also have two students that released that

video that were sitting down behind the table that were on yesterday we had them on. yesterday on "the view" they were talking about this. whoopi goldberg asked the panel why do you think the panel was rushing to judgment? this is what joy behar says. >> why is that? why do we keep making the same mistake? >> because we are desperate to get trump out of office. [laughter] [applause] >> that's why. brian: sodium pen that in her coffee cup that's what people are saying. steve: did they tell the truth? brian: meanwhile ben shapiro always tells the truth in the big picture this is the objective. >> now living in a time where the secular left has decided to take on everyone of judeo-christian value with weather it's sarah pence teaching at christian school or knights of columbus or kids acting out catholic faith by going to a march for life rally. this is about a deep seeded conflict between folks who cannot stand religion in every day life and people who are religious.

steve: we heard something like that from one of the mothers who is actually a chaperone. she joined us yesterday. she said something similar she felt that the young men were targeted because of their maga hats and because of their religion as well. brian: other major story that stev doesn't seem to be coming to an end after historic 33 day partial government shutdown that effects agriculture and justice and other departments. two votes. both are expected to pass. mitch mcconnell's offering much like the president's speech 5.7 billion for the border barrier. three years daca recipients protection and three year protections for temporary protective status. and there are other things there with more border agents. 75 new judgmen75 judges. the democrats are saying we are going to put something up there that essentially says let's talk, reopen the government up until february 8th. both aren't supposed to get

60 votes. ainsley: two bills. one for the daca protection and one to keep the government running and fund the government through february 8th. both need 60 votes in order to pass. steve: they do. so, you know, how many days have we been, so many? where is the counter offer from the democrats? there simply is not one. there is going to be okay we will reopen the government temporarily until we figure something out. but the president doesn't trust the democrats and the democrats don't trust the president. ainsley: every idea the democrats put on the table does not include any money for the wall. steve: there is no negotiation about how to go forward. steny hoyer was on yesterday with newscast an neil cavuto its extraordinary sound bite what he said because, keep in mind, nancy pelosi has made it very clear they are not going to get more than a dollar for that barrier wall. but steny hoyer yesterday said it's not immoral and barriers work. >> i think physical barriers

are a part of the solution. >> you don't share nancy pelosi's view though a wall is immoral? >> look, i think it depends on what a wall is used for whether it's moral or immoral. if it's protecting people it's moral. if it's imprisoning people it may be immoral. that's not the issue. the issue is we want border security. brian: there is another congresswoman alyssa who is also getting -- saying things different from nancy pelosi. nancy pelosi says it's immoral. it's a nonstarter. i'm not going to build it she said we all have a fire under us to get something done. we will try to figure out this dynamic between all of us and the leadership is still trying to figure out how to manage this ennet jet particular and outspoken class. president's approval rating nothing has changed. according to the harvard-harris poll he has 45% approval rating throughout this historic shutdown which he says blame on me.

steve: big question is what is going to happen next tuesday? is the president going to give his state of the union at the house of representatives? nancy pelosi has not officially pulled the rug out from underneath him. they did, the white house the advance team did ask on sunday for a walk through on monday. it did not happen. apparently the white house is preparing two different versions of the state of the union. one to be delivered at the capitol with nancy pelosi sitting right there and the other somewhere else in the united states. we also hear that apparently it sounds like behind the scenes white house team is working with some u.s. senators to come up with a bigger bargain of sorts. just in case what happens tomorrow at 2:30 doesn't work. ainsley: last week when nancy pelosi asked the president to delay the speech or just put it in writing. we were all talking about, that's a week and a half away. that's next tuesday. i was thinking surely the government is not going to stay open that late. now there is a good chance that it could. brian: remember, almost a year ago a year ago to the day there was an offer out there.

mr. president 25 billion for the wall for a 10 year path for daca at least if they went to school had a job and didn't commit any crimes. steven miller and some on the right absolutely tom cotton blew that up. i wonder if they go back to that if it was offered? steve: that was a year ago. wonder what they are working on right now. we will keep you posted 6:10 in new york city. ainsley: jill i can't be has headlines for us. good morning. jillian: good morning and a fox news alert. nine military members rushed to the hospital after a crash involving military vehicles. two service members are in critical condition. the crash happened in southern new mexico, north of el paso, texas. authorities say two military striker vehicles were involved. it's unclear exactly what caused that crash. a man is under arrest after a missing woman is found alive in boston. police using a ping from olivia ambrose's cell phone to track her down at an apartment in the city. suspect victor pena is accused of kidnapping the 23-year-old woman.

[bleep] steve: that is rapper cardi b. not holding back on her thoughts on the government shutdown. then came a huge fight on twitter between cardi b. screen left and on the right our next guest tomi lahren. tomi joins us now from the west coast. tomi, what happened? >> well, to put it pretty simply, i saw that video that she had posted and, you know, i imply that maybe cardi b. isn't the person we should be taking our political advice from and it took her a few days but she responded and instead of arguing about the merits of her political argument, she said that she was going to dog walk me. and, you know, viewers should look up urban dictionary what dog walking means. the point is simply to severely beat somebody up. we go from a political disagreement to i want to hurt you. steve: cardi b. tweeted the dog walking stuff after you tweeted looks like cardi b. is the latest greenous political mind to endorse the democrats.

ha, keep it up guys, maga 2020: she mentioned the dog-walking thing and out of nowhere alexandria ocasio-cortez came out and she agreed with cardi b. and she wrote why do people think that they can mess with bronx women without getting roasted. they act as though our borough hasn't been perfecting the clap back game since the sugar hill gang. y'all just found it on twitter. were you surprised to see that? >> i'm not surprised at anything alexandria ocasio-cortez does. but, again, i'm also impressed the way the left does the mental gym that the particulars to justify it. alexandria ocasio-cortez on all daily basis says that trump supporters and president trump himself incite violence and then she goes and applauds and encourages a tweet by a rap his or her threatens physical violence against me. so, again, this is a double standard at play and not just rappers. it's not trust trolls on twitter. these are elected representatives who are endorsing and saying the same thing. so, you know, it's really

puzzling and troubling. steve: you are saying that because she essentially came back and defended cardi b., who had said the stuff about the dog-walking regarding you, that is something that there is a double standard for and you would like aoc to do what then? >> well, again, i don't really want her to do anything. steve: she will do something. >> cardi b. can have a political opinion. alexandria ocasio-cortez can have a political opinion. we know we are not going to stop her from doing that i would just like to point out the left's hypocrisy. can you imagine if i would threaten to dog walk cordy b. or anyone else for that matter as a conservative, as a trump supporter, i would never get away with that but they are able to do it and the left applauds it now, again, if you look through my final thoughts i did the other day on fox nation where you just look at my twitter, you can see that there are leftist with verified accounts not only laughing at the fact of me being dog-walked they are tweeting out peoples of me in a leash with a collar with cardi b. walking me.

and beyond that they are actually saying yeah, she would hurt you. she would beat you up. i wish we could start a go fund me page so we could watch our teeth get knocked out. these are not just internet trolls they are verified blue check marks on twitter double standard all day long. steve: meanwhile, tell us about your new fox nation special called no interruption. >> sure. as we all know and as you guys have covered extensively on "fox & friends." we have american heroes being thrown under the bulls by the very country and military that they fought for. and i sit down with the gallagher family, andrea and sean gallagher, the wife and the brother of eddy gallagher who has been accused of war crimes as well as julie goldstein who her husband matt goldstein has been accused of crimes. i get a interview so they can tell the story and that's going to interview tomorrow on fox nation. steve: tune in in and find out all about it all right. tomi, thank you very much for telling your side of the story. >> thank you, guys. steve: we did reach out to cardi b.

not enough. this is the warm-up act. we have to find some creative solution. historically both sides have had a problem getting to what i call the missing middle of solution. if you look back on the two major accomplishments of the last two administrations, healthcare and the tax cuts, they got no support from the other side. we are in the middle of gridlock. we will need creative solutions to get out of the gridlock and challenge is the people don't trust the president certainly on the democratic side to hold his position because he has had at least three or four can i tick through and some republican senators hitch mcconnell's second kick at the mule here there is a last of trust. we have to rise above that lack of trust and get going here this is an intolerable situation. it's hurting the president politically more than your poll quote a couple minutes ago indicates. he is getting really hurt here particularly among independent voters. brian: i agree, the situation between favorable and unfavorable has widened. the last poll 45%. another poll has it at 40%. richard, also to be fair, barack obama got no republican votes for

obamacare. so having said that do you think it's time for the democrats to stop saying temper tantrum and hostage-taking and putting something forward? >> thanks for having me, brian. a couple things here. number one, have you seen the democrats, they have already tried to put something forward. they will c.r. that was passed in the september the continuing resolution would have kept the government open and vote you had by almost 100% of the united states senate and the president stopped it because he has moved his position on the border wall. at first he wanted 2.5 billion. then he wanted -- now he is at 5.7 billion. and the president's other problem is that in this new bill he has proposed is he going to lose republican votes. republicans all across the spectrum have a problem with daca as well as temporary protected status. what makes this even more interesting for this president while that's all happening, at our airports, our tsa agents are literally sticking out one day after another because they are not being paid. the president is in a conundrum and i don't think his messaging folks at the white house haven't helped him out any.

he hasn't figured out a way to talk to 800,000 government workers not being paid as well as the american people. brian: we could have had a similar segment 10 days ago. it becomes clear no effort to reopen and talk about anything but the border wall barrier. >> that's not true. democrats have said over and over again what we won't do is hold the government hostage. we have the debate on immigration. brian: what nancy pelosi keeps saying, david, no money for a wall. she does not -- is not pressed on barriers, steel slats, but the president's moved on that. if she says i will put the wall on the table, reopen the government until february 8th. wouldn't that move the ball forward, david? >> well, i think she is reluctant to give away something that's political base symbolism vs. national security solution. look at what john kelly said about the wall. look what lindsey graham said about the wall a year and a half ago. what the democrats have to do though to your point, brian, they have to do more

than say no. they have to get the government open. rise above it both sides have. to say give the white house some political off ramp and the democrats will need the same. they should be proposing tripling national security, upping port of entry security, new technologies, drones. brian: i have news for you it's all in the proposal. and i also say barriers work in certain places. absolutely. it doesn't work everywhere. that's clear. talk about anything else is ridiculous. we have 600 miles of fence we you wanted to improve it and make it better and now all of a sudden it's immoral to have it and we have had it since 1992. >> a couple of points there point number one is this, is that the number one reason why we have illegal immigration in this country has nothing to do with our southern border and everything to do with people entering points of entry and visa overstays. maybe if the white house addressed overstays and modernized immigration system that could be off ramp for democrats. all we have seen from this president is a proposal just for the wall.

brian: have you got to be honest. >> i am being honest. >> 2750 new bored agent. will hundred million drug detection border security. >> and $5.7 billion for the wall. brian. >> if the wall was so important, that should have been in the first two years of the administration. probably infrastructure bill. and, in fact, we can get to some kind of smart barriers which will give each party some ability to deal with this. the idea of putting up a wall to reward donald trump. brian: it's not to reward donald trump. you need it in certain places. we all know that we need it everywhere. we assume that richard and david, thanks so much. coming up straight ahead. >> thank you, brian. brian: thank you. our friend bret baier opens up about his family's car accident and the people that saved their lives in montana. his message for families everywhere next. >> family is everything. it's always good to remind yourself of that. before something does it for you. count your blessings.

some student parents are considg legal action. one attorney says he dual it for free. brian: i understand people emotionally taking sides where does the legality of this come in? because these are private citizens and in many cases minors were kids. the law is saying anything false about them is libel. and you don't have a defense of actual malice all you have to prove is negligence. a lot of these journalists that have been saying false statements about these kids. false statements about the kids that were at the lincoln memorial. false statements about kids in various photographs rated to the school. slurring and libeling the entire school and alumni for the school and prove they were negligent in doing so. by this standpoint in this point in time it is clear that anyone who continues to lie and libel about these kids has done so illegally and can be sued for it. ainsley: robert, why do you want to do this? why do you want to help the families? >> the nature of libel lawsuits generally very hard to bring. they cost between a quarter of a million and a million

quickly and i'm sorry about that. i wish i had seen the whole video. who comes to mind though? what defendants are you really most disappointed in that has not retracted or has not apologized? >> people like maggie harasserston at the "new york times." she is a news reporter what is perceived leading newspaper in the country. she falsely made statements about these kids. basically invited their expulsion from school and ruining of their reputations. she did so based on inadequate review of the information. despite knowing from her own newspaper how false those original statements are she has yet to retract, yet to correct and yet to apologize. she will be one of the people sued if she doesn't do it in the next 48 hours. brian: have you heard from any families. >> yes. i represent families of three different groups. families of kids who were at the lincoln memorial who have been libeled. i represent families of kids who have been in some of the photos like the new york daily news libled them and made false statements about what the nature of those photos were from the school. i represent alumni who feel

that their entire school and everything associated with them has been libeled and they, too, want to seek legal remedy for these people who refuse to correct, retract or make any apology for their false statements. steve: there are some people, the defendants in this that's why you are considering a class action lawsuit. robert barnes just started the meter. 48 hours to correct it or next week they might get sued. >> that's right. steve: thank you for joining us from las vegas. >> thank you very much. ainsley: thank you. steve: i wonder how many people will do something now. the number is shocking. planned parenthood performing their most abortions last year since 2011. our next guest says this proves the claim of being a healthcare provider is simply a shameful lie. ainsley: plus, what would john kerry do if he met president trump face to face? >> if had you president trump sitting right opposite of you, what would your message be? >> resign. lafayett.[laughter]

ainsley: protecting the right to life is getting harder and harder as governor cuomo signs a bill updating new york's abortion law which legalized abortion up to birth and iowa strikes down the fetal heart beat abortion law. this as planned parenthood releasing its annual report and the numbers are shocking. the organization performed 332,000 abortions in 2017 in that fiscal year. that's 11,000 more abortions than the year before. that's also the highest number in any year since 2011 and 2012. our next guest says this new report disapproves the organization's own narrative. catherine glenn foster the

president of americans united for life and she joins us now. thanks for being with us. >> thanks so much for having me. ainsley: you are welcome. let's start with these numbers. what's your reaction to this, 11,000 more abortions? >> you know, it's tragic. american taxpayer dollars should be spent on helping people to live and live well not on enabling babies to die. and, yet, that's just the opposite of what we are seeing from this new planned parenthood annual report. where, in fact, 14% of the women and the girls who walk through the doors of a planned parenthood system end up getting an abortion. but, you know, we have brand new data at our website americans united for life aul.org. sheds new light on the subject. it's our annual defending life our flag ship publication. it shows that we are seeing unprecedented momentum in the movement to support life momomentum state laws passed

more and more state laws than ever before. we are seeing momentum in the number of people who support life and will take a stand for life. and most critically, we are seeing momentum in the number of lives saved. and that drop in the abortion rate to the lowest that it's been since 1972 the year before roe v. wade legalized abortion all throughout america for all nine months for any reason. ainsley: why do we continue to fund this organization? republicans have the house and the senate. the president said he didn't want to support planned parenthood or didn't want to give them tax dollars. why do we keep funneling money to them? >> that's a really good question. planned parenthood has annual report demonstrates that they build their business on a dying business model look at the percentage of measures who oppose roe, who support life who stand for life and choose life even in unplanned pregnancies and difficult

situations, why do they do that? studies have shown that in large part it's due to the laws, the policies that enable women to really get that full informed consent. real informed consent that so often is lacking in the abortion context. allow women real choice. i have been there. you know, i know how these women and girls feel. i have heard from so many thousands of women who have been there, too. and we want real choice. and so the real question with its annual report is, you know, why is planned parenthood trying to take an ever larger slice of that shrinking pie of the number of abortions in america? ainsley: all right,. >> katherine: written thanks for being with us. sounding the laundry room about ms-13 removing ice agents from their county would be a deadly mistake. one union leader is here live. plus two, students from the catholic school in that

pretty fair. if you think about what's been happening. i sort of look at it this way, guys. compromise or cold shoulder. those are the stakes facing lawmakers as once again they try to figure out a way to figure this more than a month long impasse in the nation's capital all with the fate of hundreds of thousands american families' paychecks in the balance. >> the opportunity to end all of this is staring us in the face. all that needs to happen is for our democratic friends to agree that it's time to put the country ahead of politics. take yes for an answer and vote to put the standoff behind us. >> the leader's attempts i heard on the floor here the leader's attempt to blame democrats for the shutdown are futile. they are so far from reality that no one can take him seriously when he says it the american people know that president trump is responsible for the shutdown and now they have learned that leader mcconnell is a

co-conspirator. >> tough language from chuck schumer there. the senator from the empire state of new york. the president seems pretty pleased by the least right now cohesion of republicans. he tweeted. this never seen senate majority leader and republicans so united on an issue as they are on the humanitarian crisis and security on our southern border. if we create a wall or barrier, which prevents criminals and drugs from flowing into our country, crime will go down by record numbers. argue to argue with that. more meetings today for the president once again as he tries to figure out a way to end the impasse. if democrats say if you don't open the government we are not going to negotiate. that's the problem. they also said even if you reopen up the government we won't give you money for your wall. that's where we stand now, 33 days in. longest shutdown in american history. the american people caught in the middle, guys. brian: right. some moderates caught in the middle too. thanks kevin corke.

minnesota congressman he says he is telling democratic colleagues to approve president trump's wall request and get back to work. he says the shutdown is unnecessary lisa a democrat also says it's time to put a fire under leadership to negotiate. they are not negotiating. steve: congressman peterson from minnesota saying just give him the wall money. he is a democrat. he also said in the interview with the paperback in minnesota. he said, you know, when i tell that to my democratic colleagues they look at me with crossed eyes. there is no counter offer from the democrats. what's going to happen. well, if those two bills fail, apparently and there is some news reporting this morning that behind the scenes the white house has dispatched jared kushner to capitol hill. and apparently he is dealing with some u.s. senators on both sides of the aisle. they are talking about green cards for daca recipients. they are talking about some sort of a path to citizenship, perhaps.

perhaps over 10 years. perhaps the president would get more wall money right now because given the uncertain status of those two bills, that the senators are going to vote on, we don't know where it's going. nonetheless, they are working behind the scenes. ainsley: emergency funding, too. the president has talked about use those funds to build the wall. steve: he has talked about that. i have heard from people at the white house there is another plan that would not declare an emergency but would still fund the cop destruction of about that same amount of wall he want wants. brian: just depends how many want to stand up to their leadership. republicans are listening and what to put in a proposal. for democrats must be frustrating all have you is leadership say we're not going to fund a wall rather than oops. i think the president gave us that protection for daca. why don't we go and get more. i think he gave us temporary protection for tps. why don't we get more. this is starting point. these are the issues you wanted take this opportunity where the president wants to

compromise to end the shutdown and get. so things you want and then you could turn around and look for election. ainsley: we will talk to sarah huckabee sanders about that. also responding to the white house correspondents association slamming the president for not having as many press briefings or not many lately. brian: he said they are useless because i don't like the way they treat you. they don't wait for your answers and all one-sided. steve: we will talk to her coming up in 90 minutes. meantime our lead story for the last couple of days is what happened between those protesters on the lincoln memorial over the weekend. and the students from covington catholic high school in kentucky? that image right there, after it was widely circulated that kid in the maga hat and other kids behind him were mocking him. now we know the story and that's not accurate. nick sandmann, the young man in the red cap at the center of this storm is appearing this morning and says

essentially that he was not disrespectful to mr. phillips, who is pounding the drum right in his face. he respects him. and he says this about what happened. >> as far as standing there i had every right to do so. my position inside i was not disrespectful to mr. phillips. i respect him. i would like to talk to him. i mean, in hindsight, i wish we could have walked away and avoided the whole thing. ainsley: the governor of kentucky matt bevin is breaking his silence. he was on with tucker carlson. listen to what he said. >> there has been incredible amount of bigotry shown by the media. the people who took this and ran with this who did not verify anything, the people who made assumptions about these kids because of their color, because of their gender, because of their faith, because of where they lived. because of the hat that they were wearing. people didn't bother to do the basic checking of facts.

i find it offensive that people have insulted these students as they did. steve: just imagine. you there were so many death threats over the weekend. that is why covington catholic high school took down their web page. they disconnected their phone. they took down their facebook page and they cancelled school yesterday. they had police looking at outside the school yesterday. apparently they are going to open today. a lot of it has to do with the nature of social media because it spread like wildfire. that young man and those young men mocking the native americans. that was not true. you know, mark meadows, congressman from north carolina, i'm looking. he has a tweet out there. he says very clear there is a double standard for conservatives. wear a maga hat and your side of the story doesn't matter. dangerous and wrong. i'm wondering about the brazilian person they are tracking back. it seems like somebody might be working the refs because

they know what insights an american audience. they know the media and public will jump to conclusions and now five days later we still have this as our number one or 1 a story. ainsley: talking about the person who posted the original video. that snippet and people rushed to judgment. steve: that's right. twitter has identified that particular account holder. thought it was a teacher in california. turns out it's not. think it might be a blogger in brazil. we did have on us with a little while a fellow named robert barnes an attorney talking about a class action lawsuit to defend those young men and families and alumni as well. he started the clock 15 minutes ago. saying unless the people who put up the tweets that were inaccurate and defamed those kids, libeled those kids, probably going to sue them. giving them 48 hours to take them down and apologize. ainsley: we will have sam schroder the student on that field trip and grant from

like five years ago there was a pep rally where one of the members of the school body had -- appeared to have black face on. people have even asked you to explain that. how do you explain that? >> i just explain it as showing our school spirit. we have many themes, nerd, business, blue out, black out as seen in the video. ever since i have gone to co cath because of the video. i know the kids meant nothing by it. it was showing school spirit. steve: one of the so-called blackout days. i have got to ask you, grant, are you worried about your reputation? here you are in high school. you would like to go to college once you graduate from covington catholic school. are you worried that the bad attention that your school has gotten although it's largely been exonerated over the last 24 hours.

are you worried that the bad reputation may actually keep you from going to the college you want to or it's just going to haunt you forever on the internet? >> i can't say i am as much now as i was. but when the video was circulating around and earn was making their opinions based on that. i was not looking in a good light in my reputation probably wasn't the best at the time. but ever since the truth has been circulating, i think it has much been accounted for. right now i'm not as much worried as i was. steve: sam, we had an attorney on with us, a fellow by the name of robert barnes. he was out in las vegas. apparently he is representing a number of families who are going to apparently ban together for a class action lawsuit if some of these celebrities and other prominent journalists don't retract and correct some of the things they have put out. have you heard of families

that are signing on to that and do you think it's a good idea? >> i have heard of a lot of families that said they would like to pursue legal action. i'm not sure how far they are in the process. but i think it would definitely be a good thing. steve: sam, finally, school is open today. i know you are going to go back. is the general reaction that you are a little freaked out what could happen? >> i think that initially it was. i think that closing the school down yesterday was a good move to play it safe. but, i think today, everybody, i think they are ready to go back. get back together as a community. and i think everybody feels safe. there is multiple police there i don't think anything is going to go wrong. steve: sam and grant, both of you real quick exit question. apparently the president of the united states has invited students to the white house after the partial government shutdown. one at a time, are you going to go if that all works out? >> for sure. >> if i get the opportunity,

your private school, that's going to be a problem, too. because we can't have any of that as well. so i think that's the next phase. they are saying no, even if your private areas, christianity is no longer acceptable. steve: well then and matt, you look at hawaii senator mayse hirono apparently she and kamala harris accused brian buescher, trump's nominee for open u.s. federal court position of embracing extremism because he belongs to the catholic church's knights of columbus and then ben sasse came out and he defended that. and then senator hirono, i think, labeled him alt right. here is what senator sasse said on january 16th on the senate floor. >> i want senators to unanimously reaffirm our oath of office to a constitution that rejects religious bigotry. >> this isn't a republican belief. this isn't a democratic belief. this is an american belief.

steve: and then senator hirono responded if my colleague the junior senator from nebraska wants to embrace the alt right's position by offering this resolution, that is his business. is she referring to the catholic church and the knights of columbus as alt right? >> yeah, hirono is making a run for being the worst person in the senate and she has a lot of competition for that so kind of admirable. the most extremist things that the knights of columbus do is they hold toy drives for kids around christmas time. this is obviously the label ben sasse alt right insane. critics of the conservatives among the alt right. if you are coming out against the knights of columbus and calling them edges streamist, you just hates catholics, that's all that is what you find extremist about them and bigoted and disgusting is that they are catholic because other than that, all they do is they do charity events. so this is just open bigotry against catholics and against christians from senator hirono and, i mean, it's just something that should be completely

intolerable from a u.s. senator. ainsley: all right, matt, thank you so much. >> thank you. steve: what do you think about that? email us at friends@foxnews.com or facebook us. in the meantime, as you can see right there, white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders is going to join us a half an hour from right now. ainsley: our friend bret baier telling everyone to count their blessings after his family survived horrific car crash. carley shimkus is here with your reaction and well-wishes coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ turn up your swagger game with one a day gummies. one serving... ...once a day... ...with nutrients that support 6 vital functions... ...and one healthy you. that's the power of one a day.

nick sandmann was interviewed. this is what he said was going through his head at the time. >> i wanted the situation to die down. i just wish he would have walked away but i knew as long as i kept my composure, and didn't do anything that he might perceive as aggressive or elevation of the conflict that, it would hopefully die. brian: of course the confrontation started when the hebrew israelites started shouting at the kids assuming certain things about them. you're school shooters, you're x, you're y. i won't repeat it but "the daily beast," one of the hebrew israelites who we have seen scream at us from brooklyn, often in manhattan, just obscene things, they take pride in the fact they say they started this whole thing even though it didn't end with them. sam schroeder was with us, along with grant hill man.

they talked about the confrontation less than an hour ago. >> i know how the school raises our kids. no one from the school would be disrespectful. he would not do that the that at all. >> the threats have been horrible. i never heard such cruel things wished upon another human being. it is awful. steve: the students, same two young men, clearly dressed for school today, they're back in session, appeared in the video they put out 36 hours ago trying to explain their side of the story but they were heartbroken that so many celebrities and prominent members of the news media have come out and disparaged their school and their character, particularly students at the school and the it is wrong but it is out on internet. in many cases it lives forever although a number of prominent twitters users have deleted their tweets and apologized for it. but we had an attorney on, those who have not, the meter is running, they have 48 hours to

students of covington catholic high school at white house. we had two of them on. they said after the government shutdown is resolved they would love to be attend dance in the white house. brian: partial government shut down affecting homeland, interior treasury, department of justice and fbi and among the groups, tsa. die 33 are the ones feeling it the most. as we all sit here and wonder when we get a pause as a government. so today, at least getting a little bit interesting, because tomorrow we'll see two bills pass the senate. you heard the president's speech saturday. mitch mcconnell put it into a plan. it is offered up, not expected to get 60 votes. there is speculation getting three to four democrats to vote for it. the democratic plan is this, stopgap spending bill, would fund the government through february 8th. in the end they want to make sure resolve would not include wall, using terms over and over again, hostage-taking and temper tantrums. >> president tweeting great

unity in the republican party. want to put an end to stoppable crime and drugs, border security and wall. no doubt build a wall, crime will fall. that is the new theme for two years until the wall is finished under construction now of the republican party. use it and pray. build a wall and crime will fall steve: very clear, what you got going here. the republican-sponsored bill which is the president's idea, all the republicans would presumably vote for it, but if you look at the democrat as suggestion, let's fund the government for a couple weeks and trust us. we'll talk about immigration and the border, the president doesn't trust the democrats. the democrats don't trust the republicans. here is one of each on the floor of the senate yesterday talking about the loggerheads we're at right now? >> the opportunity to end all this is staring us right in the face. all that needs to happen is for our democratic friends to agree it is time to put the country

ahead of politics, take yes for an answer, vote to put the standoff behind us. >> the leader's attempts which i just heard on the floor here, the leader's attempts to blame democrats for the shutdown are futile. they're, you know, they're so far from reality no one takessed leader seriously when he says it. the american people know that president trump is responsible for the shutdown and now they have learned that leader mcconnell is a co-conspirator. steve: ouch. brian: he has a plan. senator schumer doesn't. they don't want to do it. steny hoyer said to neil cavuto, of course a barrier works in certain areas. if you want to put pressure on the president, i thought about it. we're going to look at certain areas at the border where they will need barriers, others need technology. we'll do that up until february 8th. or else have another shut down. that would put pressure on president. continuing to say no, wall, no

wall, the president said barrier, you're making the president make sure this doesn't end. keep in mind, there are already cracks on the democratic side. this minnesota congressman, colin peterson is telling democratic colleagues approve president trump's request on funding wall on southern border. others said the exact same thing. steve: look at calendar, you trying to figure out when it will end. if it does not end with the successful passage in the senate tomorrow. no one is saying that will pass, what is the next thing on the calendar? the state of the union. it is still on the books for tuesday. apparently the white house is still counting on nancy pelosi not officially pulling the plug on it which he has not yet? they have requested a walk-through for logistics to see if they can to in, supposed to do it on monday. they did not do it. white house is preparing two different versions. can you imagine if the president on tuesday night whether in the house of representatives or along the southern border, he

would come out and say, look the state of our union not good. to brian's point. i'm trying to negotiate the democrats. they have not come to the table. what will we do? tuesday would be 40 days, don't be surprised if the president comes up with a creative sleight of hand regarding bookkeeping. comes up with the money, then announces the government is open the next day? brian: wouldn't it be great for both sides to get together to understand we'll not remember this by 2020. >> that would be great. steve: 32 days to get together. 33, sorry. brian: next couple days, here is what we're doing going forward. tuesday at state of the union it would be business as usual. america wants something traditional to happen. ainsley: a lot of them don't want him to have the win, don't want the wall, even though they were for it a long time ago, they don't want him to have win. brian: come election day, we don't remember the "schumer shutdown" last time. it wasn't an issue.

see the way the cycle work. we'll black this out. everybody as a nation we need ginko biloba, because we have short-term memory. news of the day. steve: the problem you have some democrats and republicans in the senate working on plans but when you got chuck schumer saying to all the democrats, you have got to say no, they're going to say no. brian: he is afraid of the speaker. >> they're afraid of trump getting a win to your earlier point. meantime jillian with a headline. jillian: fox news alert. nine military members are rushed to the hospital after a crash involving military vehicles. two servicemembers are in critical condition. the crash happened in southern new mexico, north of el paso, texas. it is unclear what caused the crash. suspected murderer and gang member traveling to the u.s. in a caravan nabbed in mexico.

>> it's a three-step process that we've done here in california, building up to ballot harvesting. the first is automatic registration. that is what they want in california, everyone over18 is automatically registered to vote. we already have every 16 and 17-year-old automatically registered before they turn 18. the second thing is automatic mail ballot. everyone is mailed a ballot whether you ask for one or not. the problem with those two, a couple weeks before election day every mailbox is full of ballots. someone to go down the street and go yoink, steal ballots, fill them out. jerry brown two years ago signed a law to allah ballot harvesting. you don't have to mail in, drop off your ballot. you're allowed to drop off anyone's ballot. we had people in the last election dropping off carloads of ballots. that is ballot harvesting. steve: what could go wrong. >> ripe for abuse and fraud. brian: kamala harris, junior

senator from california. declared her candidacy. $2 million in 24 hours. she will have a town hall on another network. is she really that popular in california? are we getting a sense of her popularity? >> no. listen, i'm not worried about kamala harris winning nomination. put it as bluntly as possible, quickly as possible, she is as likeable as hillary clinton. so for all the reasons why hillary clinton didn't win, ultimately win and no one, didn't want to vote for her, kamala harris is the same thing. steve: mike, hillary clinton was the nominee? >> nominee. i don't think she will be able to get that far. i'm not worried about kamala harris being a former prosecutor, the far left will not sign on with a former prosecutor being their nominee. ainsley: mike, talk about what is happening in sacramento because the police department there is asking the city council to vote on what protesters can bring to a protest. they don't want to bring glass

bottles, bats open flames, brick, lumber, pipes, chains. brian: bear repellent. steve: can't take bear repellent. ainsley: show up with the posters. it puts other people at risk. they just don't want to incite danger. but, yesterday when they were, tuesday night's meeting ended up roughly because protesters were shouting at each other, screaming into the microphones. they had to delay the vote. >> you guys remember the tea party rallies 10 years ago now? i never heard any police departments coming out saying we need to ban baseball bats and brass knuckles and bear spray. we would never dream of bringing something like that. we were still characterized as rioters at the time. antifa can bring weapons to protest, it is no big deal. a conservative can't wear a maga hat without being called a rapist and bigot. a little double standard there i would say. steve: see what they do. whether they decide to ban them or keep them going.

on the kids that you guys showed dancing. i'm not doing it for entertainment. just to stay warm, because it is pretty cold out here. nowhere near the skills these kids have. i will not enter any danceoff. ainsley: a few hours ago we entered into day 33 of the partial government shut down. the senate is set to vote on two bills tomorrow at 2:30. do you think republicans have enough votes for it to pass? >> i certainly hope so. they certainly should. the plan the president laid out comes from a number of meetings the president had with republicans and democrats. the plan includes things that democrats specifically said they wanted to sigh, things we know that they want. it is outrageous that they wouldn't support a plan that does all the things they claim to want. they want to reopen the government and help put 800,000 furloughed workers back into their offices and get their paychex of the they say they want to stop human trafficking. they say they want to stop the humanitarian crisis, opioid

crisis, the drugs coming across the border. they say they want to stop crime coming across our border. the president's plan addresses everything democrats claim they care about, everything democrats want to have happen. yet we haven't seen them come on board and support it. that is question everybody should be asking, democrat members of congest, why aren't you supporting this? brian: here is what senator schumer said today -- >> they don't want to help the president. brian: here is what senator schumer said to answer that question. >> that is not how negotiating works. that is not "the art of the deal." what we have here is just another one-sided, partisan proposal from the president. and contrary to the president's claims, it hardly represents a soften of his position. the president's proposal is just wrapping paper on the same partisan package. brian: so, he says it is just wrapping paper. what they keep saying what they are proposing what they are going to vote on is, okay, open up the government, then we'll

negotiate up until february 8th i think. if the president got word from nancy pelosi that the fence, the barrier was on the table, would he be more amenable to accepting that offer? >> brian, the problem his she flat-out told the president that wasn't the case. he asked her point-blank, if i open the government at that point, they were talking about opening for 30-day cr. he asked her if i open the government in 30 days, will you give me funding for border security, including the wall. she said no. it is that simple. the president has laid out a compromise bill that gives democrats the, access -- senator schumer saying this doesn't address democrat concerns. this isn't how negotiating works. the president had a number of meetings with democrat members congress, asked them directly what they want and these are things included in this proposal. whether it is more technology at the border, whether it is funding for more border patrol agents. whether it is, they voted for

secure fence act in the past. these are all things democrats supported. the only difference who is sitting in the oval office. democrats have got to stop playing politics. nancy pelosi has to start putting the american people ahead of partisan politics. hopefully we'll see is happen on thursday. if not, it's a shame to the 800,000 federal workers, and a real shame to the angel moms, rest of americans affected by human trafficking and drug overdoses in this country. steve: nancy pelosi, certainly not playing politics when she essentially asked the president to postpone the appearance on capitol hill. as we know, apparently the u.s. capitol not secure. she was worried about that although that has been disproven by everybody. >> i think we're all glad to see nancy finally care about the safety and security of someone including the president. i wish she would take that same level of concern and apply it to the millions of americans that live in this country that have been impacted by the fact that we have completely open border

and step up. she has got to come to the table, actually start doing her job. steve: there are stories, people in working in the white house are preparing two different versions of the state of the union address. one, if the president actually goes to capitol hill and is in congress, or, a second plan b, if he plan b location like our southern border. i know you don't want to tip your hand because nancy pelosi hasn't officially uninvited the president. how much of that story is true? >> look, we always like to have a plan b but the president should be able to address the american people whether he does that from the halls of congress or whether he does that in another location, the president will talk to the american people on january 29th. brian: one way or another? >> as he does nearly every single day. we'll continue moving forward with a state of the union. we'll see what happens. steve: okay. >> sarah, white house correspondents association is

upset because they're saying the briefings in the room behind you, that you're not doing as many. the last one took place on december 18th. the president tweeted yesterday saying that the reason you're not holding press briefings, the press covers you rudely, inaccurately. this is quote from the white house correspondent's association president, while other after exist to obtain information the robust back and forth in the james a brady briefing room, highlights no one healthy republic is above being questioned. what is your response? >> look i take questions from reporters every single day. the idea this white house is not accessible to the press is absolutely laughable. i have done over 100 briefings. answers thousands of questions for members of the press. i stopped last night after i finished interview and took more questions from a gaggle reporters standing outside building behind me. i'm sure i will do that in a few minutes. the president takes questions

nearly every single day from reporters. we're on call 24 hours a day. brian: no more briefings? >> i talked to reporters my way into work. the idea we're not answering questions. brian: you're not doing briefings anymore? >> look, we'll see what happens. as the president said yesterday, he doesn't like the decorum in the white house. we're in the business of getting information to the american people, not making stars out of people that want to become contributors on cnn and that is a lot of times what we see take place in the briefing room. we're more than happy to take questions. we think there should be a certain level of decorum and honesty and responsibility that comes with that. steve: exit question, we hear the covington catholic high school students have been invited to the white house. they may appear after the partial government shutdown. sounds like the president is horrified at a rush to judgment, how these young men and families were smeared online. >> the idea that anybody could take joy in the destruction of young kids is absolutely outrageous to me. that is exactly what we saw

members of the media and other leaders do. these are kids. let's not forget, these are 15, 16-year-old kids that were put in a very tough position and actually handled it very well. the president has shown his support. brian: gotcha. >> through tweets for these kids and certainly would be open to having them here after the government reopens. thanks, sarah. ten minutes before the top of the hour. steve: outrage growing at notre dame university for planning to cover up murals of christopher columbus. our next guest a leader of an italian-american group says that is censorship. they shouldn't do it. ainsley: let's check in with bill hemmer. >> great show. amazing thing when you see the other side of the story, doesn't it, guys. student from kentucky what they're saying. we'll pick up on that. shutdown day 33, state of union is stalled. there is movement. we'll tell you what has or not

♪ brian: these paintings of christopher columbus have been hanging at the university of notre dame main building for 130 years but now the school is going to cover them up. the university president john jenkins saying this, many come to see the murals as at best blind to the consequences of columbus' veriage for the indigenous peoples inhabited new world, at worst demeaning toward them. our next guest says that is the wrong move. we have vice-chair of the john calviy. this is not first time

christopher columbus has been under attack. what is the significance about this. >> which should remember our history. should not be covering it up. brian: what did he do for christianity? >> brought christianity to the americas. we can't cover up our history. at the end of the day we have to have a honest conversation. did bad things happen when columbus arrived here? absolutely. why were the indigenous communities,ism packed? absolutely. at same time can we forget that columbus arrive until america brought hope to millions of people around the world? columbus arriving here helped people fleeing economic persecution and economic hardship. it is not right to forget and cover up one side of the story. brian: why does it mean so much for italian-americans? >> if we could step back 130 years for a moment, think about what america was like back thin.

the ku klux klan was trying to stop italian-americans and catholics and southern europeans from coming to this country. the largest lynching in american history had occurred in 1891. 11 sicilian-americans were lynched in new orleans. there was the movement of the eugenics movement was trying to talk about italians and southern europeans as being, being subhuman. there at the end of the day you look at all those things, this was our attempt, christopher columbus was our attempt as a community to say no, we came here, we are proud to be here. columbus was brought out the best ins us. brian: also what he did. most of the world thought the world was flat at the time. he said, saddle up these ships. i have a sense it is something different. he thought he was in a different part of the world. but it was pretty amazing. john, thank you so much. >> thank you. brian: notre dame going ahead to do it anyway. more "fox & friends" in a moment
