"fox & friends" for a thursday. you know, on monday, it was like 5 degrees in new york city right now outside it is 60. ainsley: feels good. steve: it does feel great. brian: an opportunity for you to make history again like but in 1999. there is going to be a dance-off. i think people might be very tempted to take off their shirt like you did in 1999 when the women's soccer team came here. steve: that's right. brian: that was off the top of your head. ainsley: wait, what. the women's soccer team came

here? steve: famously when the american team won the world cup. randy took off her shirt and wept like that. two days later during a live interview with jon scott out of nowhere i took off my shirt and did the same thing. ainsley: you took off your shirt were you wearing anything. steve: no. much like these young men in philly. brian: this could happen again. ainsley: they are going to be live on our show we will ask them why they take their shirts off. brian: see if steve feels the same thing. brian: it's got to be organic. steve: i want this video. i was was in "sports illustrated." brian: and "people" magazine. brian: then you were in the swimsuit issue later that year which was certainly different. steve: meanwhile talk about our news of the day. very latest on the soap opera shutdown on last we left you. brian: we should play music.

steve: the president of the united states actually sent a letter over to the nancy pelosi and said you know what? i'm going to take you up on your offer. i have talked to the secret service. i have talked to the department of homeland security, there is no security threat, nancy pelosi, so i'm going to come next tuesday. well then she sent another letter, mr. president, the government is not open yet. so you're not invited. so she pulled the plug as she is uniquely qualified to do. ainsley: she is able to do it. steve: it would take a resolution of congress and the senate and that's not going to happen with divided government. ainsley: the president tweeted this out. the shutdown was going on and nancy pelosi asked me to give the state of the union address. i agreed. she then changed her mind because of the shutdown suggesting a later date. this is her prerogative. i will do the address when the shutdown is over. i am not looking for an alternative venue for the state of the union address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the house chamber. i look forward to giving a great state of the union address in the near future. brian: i think to not do it

at another venue i think helps. i don't think that any rally-like setting or the oval office would ever -- would ever compare to it. maybe it will put additional pressure on all sides to come to some type of resolve. meanwhile nancy pelosi wasn't done. later that night she tweets this back. mr. president, i hope i by saying near future you will support the house passed package to #end the shutdown that the senate will vote on tomorrow. please accept the proposal so we can re-open the government. repay our federal workers and then negotiate our differences. the problem is the differences are very simple. they agreed virtually on the money. they agree on border security. but even though experts say that there is areas you need a fence, barrier improved wall and sometimes mountains, streams and no wall needed, she will not allow the wall barrier to be built. steny hoyer understands you need it. there is places you need a fence a wall a barrier.

this is really about nancy pelosi trying to win in 2020 when no one is even going to remember this in 2020. steve: it all comes down to wall money. border protection wall money two things voted on in the senate one disaster relief and reopen the government. that's the democrats' proposal. it's going to fail. then the president's suggestion $5.7 billion for the wall. it's going to fail. now, apparently the house is already drafting a letter that they're going to unveil tomorrow support border security to the tune of $5 billion. exactly what the president wants. but the house letter will say we'll give that you after you reopen the government but there won't be any money for the wall. brian: you are talking about the smart wall that james clyburn is talking about? ainsley: virtual wall? steve: smart wall everybody has a different definition. what the president wants is

something that stands up and blocks people from coming. in. ainsley: right. well when talking about the state of the union address. the president said -- this is just nancy pelosi doesn't want to hear the truth. doesn't want him to stand up and talk. marc thiessen said this sun precedented. >> nancy pelosi doesn't want him to give the state of the union address. she knows from experience, because she has been speaker before how powerful a state of the union address can be. he would stand up there and i would say i have offered compromise and they won't even negotiate with me. madam speaker, turn to her. madam speaker will you sit down with me and negotiate. she doesn't want that to happen. this is a move out of weakness. she knows how powerful this is she wants to take the platform away you from the president so they can continue to obfuscate and obstruct and not compromise. steve: yesterday, democrats passed a bill to reopen the government. the only member of congress who -- democrats that is to say who voted against it alexandria ocasio-cortez because it had money for ice. and she does not want ice to

get any money. brian: she started that whole abolish ice campaign. most responsible for the government shutdown according to a fox poll 51% still say the put. 34% say democrats in congress. and 3% blame the republicans in congress. but, overall in the same fox poll, congressional approval overall is at 18%. disapproval at 67%. the president is holding at 43%. but, when he said three weeks or four weeks ago now, you know, i will take the blame for it, the american people haven't forgotten that. steve: listen, mick mulvaney asked agencies yesterday what would you need if we were to remain closed through march and april? so it could be for the long haul. the most interesting number out of that fox news poll, brian, you were citing was 66% of americans have not felt any hardship, zero from the government shutdown. ainsley: 66%? steve: a super majority is what that would be considered in the congress.

ainsley: the shutdown definitely one of the top stories this week. other top story this week would be the covington catholic high school and all of the controversy surrounding that and that video that went viral. well the diocese affiliated with covington catholic high school has given the all clear now because they had to evacuate that facility. officers got a 911 call saying there was a suspicious package found there at the diocese. steve: yesterday, they had three suspicious packages. there were a couple. okay, let's -- what do we do about this? then there was a third one that came in later in the day, along with a 911 call. and it was the package had not been sent through the regular means. it wasn't a service like fedex. just dropped it off. so that's why they evacuated. and then last night they said you know what? we are all clear. brian: meanwhile rob sanders was talking about issuing subpoenas out yesterday as the prosecutor over in kentucky. we also know there is a lot of lawsuits flying around about what's happened on

social media and the lawyer we had on yesterday to go forward with some type of lawsuit if in 48 hours people didn't take down posts or offer an apology. let's listen. >> i've had detectives in and out of of my office all day today. we were starting with some comments, some threats that were made in state because those are people that we don't even have to extradite. and we are moving on then to the ones that are out of state. we have had the detective that works in my office has already been busy issuing grand jury subpoenas and composing search warrants for detectives at other agencies. >> good. >> get the information associated with the i'm of these accounts. steve: the ownership of the account that originated, blasted it out there. and the account is @ 2020 fight. and according to fox news, apparently that account was reportedly using a photo of a brazilian media star. ainsley: a woman. steve: a source with knowledge of the situation

told fox news there is no evidence there is evidence that the account instead originated in the united states originally it was thought maybe it was a teacher because they describe themselves as teacher and advocate in the bio. could have been from california. they don't know. they want to know if somebody was trying to essentially sow discord with our upcoming election. ainsley: now the house intel committee and senator mark warn everywhere the ranking democrat on the senate intel committee, they have asked twitter for details about this account because they wants to get to the bottom of it. brian: a lot of those dummy accounts in 2016 were fueling some issues in our country that were red hot at the time. and black lives matter and, remember, after the trump election and he won then all of a sudden these bots came out and started having fake protest organizing protests against donald trump after the elections. as if they are pulling our strings as a society. and pushing our buttons and getting us emotional and dividing us.

steve: who knows. it could be that. it could be somebody who wants to remain anonymous. with the fbi after it and twitter cooperating, we should know. ainsley: all right. let's hand it over to jillian who has more headlines for us. jillian: good thursday morning to you. let's begin with this. the trump administration is refusing to comply with socialist dictator nicholas maduro 72 hour deadline to remove u.s. diplomats from venezuela. comes after president trump recognized resistance leader juan guaido as the country's true president. tens of thousands of protesters are demanding that temperature regets out as venezuela is experiencing worst economic crisis in its history. this morning police are expected to give an update on a deadly shooting inside a florida bank. zephen xaver. he recently resigned as a correctional officer trainee. he faces five counts of murder. the victims have not been identified.

steve: the media the trump administration for press briefings. president trump comes in second only to president bill clinton and that doesn't include his more than 6,000 tweets. is he on track to be the most transparent president ever. let's talk to presidential historian and author of game of thorns, doug we'd. doudoug wead.when you look at sc and bill clinton does beat president trump bill clinton's number of press events is over 8 years and donald trump's is over two, isn't it. >> that's right. there's no question donald trump far surpassed reagan, for example. he will be the most accessible president in

history. interviews, questions and answers with reporters. there has never been negative quite like this. steve. you worked in administrations in the past where a press event is tightly orchestrated unlike what is going on now. >> we had a typical day in the white house we prepared for six month and even told our staffers now when the lights go out and camera drops to the floor, remember, the videotape it's still running. they are going to catch what you say. that's when they are going to ask your gotcha question. we were ready for them. never been a white house quite like this that's so open and i think that's healthy. steve: why the criticism, doug? >> well, they don't like him. he has a lot to say. this is everything fdr dreamed for. the new deal to put america back to work. think of hbj an lbj gave people food stamps and welfare.

donald trump is giving them a job and nobody is talking about it so of course he wants to talk about it. 2016 campaign hillary went nine months without a press conference. big scandal she didn't want to talk. donald trump wants to talk because he has a lot of good things to talk about. steve: sure. what about the press briefings themselves? the president put out a tweet. the reason save sanders doesn't go to the podium anymore the press covers her rudely and inaccurately. in particular certain members of the press. i told her not to bother the word gets out anyway. most will never cover us fairly and hence the term fake news. it's not accurate he has said. >> i would like to see some of the news stories correctly at least they should go backing when it's false and they at least could correct it for the american public they don't. they run a story three days and it's wrong and

disappears without a correction. in the bush white house they wouldn't have put up with this. they would have shut the whole thing down. when you have got one survey that shows 92% of every story is negative and another survey showed .08%. not even 1% of the stories cover the economy. you know that the media is your adversary and no longer reporting the news. they are advocating. steve: doug wead always a pleasure the historical perspective. thank you very much. >> thanks, steve. steve: what do you think about that email us at friends@foxnews.com and also on facebook. a veteran says he got kicked out of the gym for wearing a pro-trump t-shirt. how the gym's owner is defending that decision. plus alexandria ocasio-cortez wants to tax the rich and abolish ice. lawrence jones went to her district to find out about the people there and what they think of those ideas and he joins us next. ♪

taxpayers. brian? brian: so glad i know where my money is going. she ran on a platform to abolish ice and aims to tax the wealthy more than 70% after they make $10 million. so what do the voters in alexandria ocasio-cortez's district think about her so-called radical or dare i say different proposals? our next guest went to find out. >> she believes that we should tax the rich 70%. do you agree with that? >> i'm all for it. >> absolutely. they make so much money. tax them. >> too low. >> too low? >> yes. >> what would you suggest? >> 90%. >> she also says that ice has become a big problem and we should get rid of ice. do you support that? >> i do. >> i don't know about defunding it. major changes. radical changes. brian: all right. that's not all they had to say. fox news contributor campus reform.org editor and chief lawrence jones here. lawrence. you went out to new york

city to find out how people feel about her new proposals. >> i went straight to her district and the people believe in her. they believe in wealth redistribution. people work very hard in this country. i grew up poor and my mother and father always said you are working hard so can you be in a different tax bracket. now they believe in when you work hard you can take that money and give it to the poor. we are a generous country and this socialism that she is advocating for that we often see on the college campuses at campus reform, she is now pushing her district support people should be afraid. brian: mindset of billionaires is a failure to society because no one should have that much money. >> right. brian: if you detective get that money you stole it or got it illegally and don't deserve it? >> guilty and need to be prosecuted and we need to take it and give it to other people. brian: i don't know what's scarier her policies or so many people believe her. >> people believe her and go longer in the conversation and people said and you will see in this package that it's more important to be morally right than factually right.

take a look. >> so she said that it's more important to be morally right than factually right. do you agree with that statement? [laughter] >> um, overall, yes. that's a slippery slope. it's a little difficult to justify that in every situation. >> it's important to be morally right if we can get our facts straight they are great but we make mistakes. brian: i don't even know what that last guy said. >> don't worry about the facts be morally right. a lot of conservatives, republicans laughed at ocasio-cortez. i don't think this is a laughing matter. she is winning when it comes to drawing more people. in we should be concerned. especially for the younger generation which i cover all the time. she may not win the next two presidential elections but there is a swing to socialism and she is getting a lot of support. we should take her seriously. brian: i asked you before you sat down here when you go out on the street and have to talk to a a lot of people. >> um-huh.

brian: that was the prevailing sentiment. >> not one person disagreed with her. not one. she is representing her district. i will take her very seriously. they support this woman because they believe she is fighting for them. brian: she is connected nationally. she is connected locally. >> that's exactly right. remember the last representative was there for 20 years they didn't see him in heir district joe crowley his name was. incumbent, a leader in the house. they don't like that they don't see their representatives. now that she shows up. she is one of them. they feel this connection with her and back her 100 percent which means we have got to expose every single thing that she stands for and the rate radical ideoloy that will effect poor people and the rich. brian: challenge it? >> challenge it and challenge on college campuses as well. you can no longer ignore socialism they are gaining steam now. brian: lawrence jones, thank you so much. she has not opened a local office yet. not gotten around yet. only in washington.

♪ [chanting] steve: over the last 72 hours you have seen this video a lot. it originated on twitter, social media. a group of catholic high school boys wearing maga

hats accused of mocking a native measure man who is beating that drum. before new video surfaced showing the native american actually approached the young men in the maga hats. that changes everything. ainsley: our next guest says it's a classic example of social media run amuck. here to explain a senior fellow at the hoover institution and author of the book the square and the tower, neil ferguson. thank you, neil for being with us. >> good to be with you. steve: good morning. ainsley: how can we stop this from happening again it? >> will happen again our public sphere is represented by facebook, twitter. youtube where this video originated and increasingly the mainstream media simply gets its news from those sources, no matter how fake the news is. and the instagram version via twitter then went to the "the washington post" and "new york times" without anybody doing any serious fact-checking. the problem is that there are giant companies now

dominating the public sphere, facebook and google in particular more or less uncontrolled by any of the regulation that, for example, a cable news channel or a newspaper is subject to. they are exempt from any liability for the content that appears on their platform. steve: that's right? >> that's right. under legislation. steve: is that right? >> it can't be right. in effect these are the biggest publishers of content of news in the world. and yet they are completely exempt from any liability for the content that appears. even if that content leads to the kind of harms that have been threatened to the covington catholic school and the people. brian: multiple dangers, one is an outside source decides to play into america's tension. >> right. brian: racial tension, political tension. they understand us and they know how to pull our strings. the other thing is what if those companies had an agenda. >> right there. are two major problems. i think actually the external intervention problem is the one that gets the more attention. maybe that's wrong. because we now know

perfectly well how much the russians inject as content, fake content into the conversation in 2016. that still goes on by the way. it's not -- nothing really has been done to alter this. yeah, the company, facebook for example says we have cleaned up our act. we have shut down all these fake accounts. it looks like this was a fake account on twitter that started disseminating the news about the covington catholic boys. so if this problem goes on. we don't know whether it was a foreign actor behind that fake account. let's imagine there are no foreign actors. we could still be doing this to ourselves because there are extremes on the left and the right that know very well how to exploit these media. how to use social media. and i'm afraid there is a big question mark over what these company's policies are are they, for example, committed to the notion of free speech, first amendment rights for all americans? i think not. the evidence is pretty clear. the tendency is when the companies start to police so-called hate speech, it's conservatives and right

leaning commentators that they go after much more than people on the left. steve: neil, you are talking about the damage that can be done and we don't know who is behind this account yet as you noted. we do know somebody who was damaged by it a young man by the name of grant hillman he goes to covington catholic high school wasn't even at the event. but people saw him, saw his name. next thing you know he is getting death threats. he was on our program yesterday and said this. >> i was doxed three separate occasions before we posted that video. and the threats, they have been horrible. i have never heard such cruel things wished upon another human being. ranges from getting locked inside a building and burned alive to sexually assaulted by the clergy members. it's just awful. steve: and the video he is talking about there is the video those two young men put out before to explain from their school's point of

view. if you were running the show at a social media company, what would you do? >> i think there are three things that we, the voters, should be asking for. we have a choice, i think. number one is the antitrust option. we could argue that these companies are too big and need to be broken up. steve: monopolies. i'm skeptical about that and hard to pull off with the climate in the federal court. ask for more federal regulation. please, big brother, could you look after us in the european approach. i think the right way for us to go is say, look, these companies need to be held accountable for the content that appears on their platforms. they need to be held accountable the way that dribbler publishers are. remove the seconds 2 immunity from liability that dates back to the mid 1990s internet companies with little startups. biggest corporations in the world. they have a free pass. they publish hate speech. we need to make sure at the same time that their terms and conditions don't become a new form of censorship organized and run out of silicon valley.

simultaneously told hold them to first amendment obligations so we have free speech and not hate speech on the internet. brian: 2016 after the election you had your book out look out silicon valley feels as though they had a role in donald trump being elected and they feel responsible and they will look to rebalance the scales. we are watching this play out. what you just said. is it happening like you feared? >> yeah. absolutely. i think it's very troubling that increasingly the idea of hate speech gets stretched and stretched and becomes more and more inclusive but it's skewed to the left and disadvantage of people on the right. and i listen with some empathy to what that young man just said on the clip from covington catholic. my wife repeatedly attacked and threatened on social media. yet, when social media companies run around asking who are the hate speech people we should no platform and removing it goes to the southern poverty law center and people like that who then name my wife as

anti-muslim extremist. she said something brilliant last week we don't live in democracy anymore we live in emocracy where emotions trump fact. ainsley: imagine in the whole video was released. >> so obviously the other way from the way it was initially presented in the news media. brian: went back history square in the tower networks from the free masons to facebook. thank you. >> thank you very much indeed. great to be on the show. ainsley: always nice to have you: behind is jillian. jillian: fbi and marine corps joining the desperate search for missing 3-year-old boy. casey hathaway was seen playing in grandmother's backyard in north carolina. hundreds of volunteers are frantically searching for casey as police use helicopters, planes and drones to look for clues. police are concerned about freezing temperatures along with nearby sinkholes and

trying to pars what he was doing on the weekend which i think is gentlely and delicately releasing information about the president. here's a basic rule that trial lawyers follow. if there is bad information about your client, it's better if it comes out of your mouth than out of the government's mouth. that's why i think rudy was saying the things he was saying. then we had this bombshell last night cohen is not going to testify. the democrats are flustered. the republicans don't know what to make of it. cohen says the president threatened me. what is a threat with it threats, one is something that we all know is a threat. if you show up i'm going to break your legs. that's obviously a threat. the other is something that the witness perceives as a threat that doesn't really threaten the rest of us. so if the president says your father-in-law's a mobster and probably should be investigated by the doj is that a threat? i don't think that that is a threat. in michael cohen mind that's enough to keep him from

testifying. what are the democrats going to do? they are going to subpoena him. how much time do they have six weeks? on march 6th he goes to jail. the court is not going to delay that nor are they going to let him out of jail to go and testify to congress. steve: one of the reasons he is going to jail is he has told some lies? >> to congress. steve: maybe is he not saying is because of those threats even though he has said things in the public venue since it's all been revealed which he were to say it in front of congress could be proven later proven to be lying and he gets more jail time. >> he would have to be indicted and tried again. if he is still a witness for bob mueller, if he is. there are two types of witnesses. witnesses that muller is going to put on the stand and witnesses that are giving mueller information that mueller needs to corroborate. michael cohen would be in the latter category. you can't put somebody on the stand who has been convicted of lying under oath. mueller does not want him testifying about anything. even as he went, what we testify about? brian: i can't answer that i can't answer that i can't answer that testify about

the president's personal habits and business style of operating the trump organization? when the president was a real estate developer in new york city that is irrelevant to congress' investigation. brian salacious and gives networks something to talk about. >> yes. something will come out of his mouth under oath before the congress aimed at driving the white house crazy and then we will forget about it once is he in jail. steve: you are talking about michael cohen? >> yes. steve: good. thank you very much, judge. >> you are welcome. steve: you can catch him on liberty file on fox nation. go to foxnation.com and figure out all about it we all subscribe and it's great. brian: it's a great app. steve: meanwhile. ainsley: all right. stick around, we have michelle malkin who is going to join us live in the next hour. brian: one lawmaker wants to create a dress code at school for parents. he's up next. he will explain why. ainsley: please, get dressed. ♪ ♪

the shutdown is over. i am not looking for alternative venue for the state of the union address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the house chamber. i look forward to giving a great state of the union address in the future. brian: where are reat right now. nancy pelosi came back 11:00 and tweeted this. mr. president i hope bay staying near future you will support the package to #end the shutdown that the senate will vote on tomorrow. please accept the proposal so we can re-open the government, repay our federal workers and then negotiate our differences. the problem is she will not negotiate when it comes to the border barrier slash wall. it's not on the table. >> it's on the table with senator warner and senator coons and 30 blue dog democrats. it's on the table even with steny hoyer. it's just not on the table with the speaker of the house. that's why we are at where we are at. steve: democrats are apparently drafting a letter in the house to pass onto the white house after the two bills are voted on today

you know, it's far greater than just hating trump or trying to turn a red hat into some sort of symbol of patriarch symbol. so many people in the media jumped on this in order to exploit this incident to forward their own confirmation bias. it's not just about liberal bias. it is about looking for fake evidence to amass some sort of case that the half of america doesn't agree with the liberal media on ideology is somehow a threat undermining our democracy. and it makes me so sad to hear the accounts of these kids and their families who are under siege by so many people, especially those blue verified checkmarked people on twitter who continue to spew hatred and so many vile threats without

any kinds of consequences. but as i said, i have documented this is just the latest example. and i really do consider the covington catholic hoax to be a cultural rorschach test. what do you see? if you see in the faces of these young boys some sort of threat of violence, when we see real violence by antifa and the left over the last several years, assassination threats against our president, and ordinary people, not just republicans, not just conservative pundits but ordinary people who have withstood so much violence and hatred simply for possessing views that are different than the liberal orthodoxy? is that what you see in the faces of these young kids when you know what happened. when you actually know what happened thanks to so many grass root citizen journalists, then you have got a problem. you have got a problem here. it's a cultural pathology. critical correctness is a pathological condition.

these so-called professionals in the liberal media accountable. god bless them. ainsley: what if the video hadn't surfaced? what if we had just seen that snippet and never saw the full video things would be completely different. the diocese is still getting packages and people are still what is it called doxxing these kids? >> yes, that's right. what if? and again that's why we have to thank the people out there who put their necks on the line to show the whole truth to spent the two hours watching the full video context of it. so there were grassroots people on social media, blogs that have been mocked over the last 15 years because they are not credentialed journalists and definitely a shoutout to people at gateway pundit. people like that. on this very early. and why is that? it's because they do not hold contempt for young southern boys who are wearing magdalen maga hats. time to have self-reflection

signed that letter, including our next guest, co-chairman of the house problem solvers and he is also a blue dog coalition member, congressman josh scott heimer who is my congressman because i live in his district in northern new jersey good morning to you good morning how are you? >> they are at loggerheads right now. what's your idea? you were at the white house last week. how did that go? >> very productive. you know, and the big message we both communicated both sides we have to actually listen to one another and secondly we have to talk. i think we both left seeing a way forward. conversations have continued. obviously here we are in day 34 of the shutdown which is beyond frustrating, i think, to everyone. it's hurting our economy. it's hurting our security and a lot of jobs on the line. but, i think the big take away is we have -- there is a way to actually if we get both sides to the table, get the government open there is a way to figure this out. steve: right. well, i think the president has been very clear, hasn't he, josh, he wants money for

a wall. nancy pelosi doesn't want to give him one nickel. how do you solve that? because that's where we are at. >> i think there are a lot of members in the democratic caucus and a lot of members of the problem sollers caucus that feel if we got to the table after the government opens, i think that's what have you heard a lot from our side you are right that you can't actually negotiate from a situation like this. you actually need to work the real way. steve: josh, the democrats are demanding we are not going to have the conversation until the government reopens. and that's for the president he is dug. in go ahead. >> i'm saying a lot of republican senators have said the same thing. you actually have to open the government. this is not the way we governor. to your other question, i think there is actually on terms of border security. there is a lot of us who believe we need tough borders and consider all options and need to actually fix immigration we reform. we need to sit at the table to have that conversation. many have been having this conversation for years. we had a bipartisan solution last year. you have got to open the government. doing it in the way the government is supposed to

function. you can't put our security and economy at risk. that's all we are saying here. steve: all right. everybody agrees we don't want to seat economy go in the dumper without a doubt. in the meantime have you mick mulvaney talking to cabinet heads yesterday saying what if this things drags on to march or april. the president is dug in. >> and you also heard the council of economic advisors white house say if this carries on we have zero percent growth this quarter. steve: which would be terrible. let's say the government reopens and then they have the dialogue. would you, josh, give any money for a wall or a fence? >> well, i believe in border security. i believe in what the experts are going to tell me the answer and i'm certainly not going to negotiate as great as you are and i know i'm your congressman. i'm not going to negotiate this on television. but i think -- steve: the president wants money for the wall or the, you know, a border fence of some sort. that's what it all comes down to that. >> well, i think it's a little more complicated.

steve: not for him. he is dug in. >> what we have all said, many of us, and a lot of us who come together about this and have a voting record on this, we want tough borders to stop terrorists, criminals, drug, you know, drug dealers. gang members, keep them out of our country. i'm also for listening to what the experts tell us is needed where. and that the combination of solutions. and i also wanting to make sure we don't waste a nickel of taxpayer dollars. those are my requirements for whatever border security is going to be in the end. i'm open to all options. however, i also think you have got to sit down and talk about how you fix immigration. have you got to do these things together. and, we have got to get out of this situation. eneand i agree we are all very, very frustrated. steve: regarding the experts you would defer to. we heard from president obama's border patrol guy, he said walls work. we have had all sorts of border patrol agents say that so, it will be interesting to see where we go from here. good luck with this bicameral summit. >> we have got to talk. that's the points. i appreciate you having me, steve.

steve: absolutely. but have you got to bend a little bit when you negotiate. >> of course. that's why it's a negotiation. of course. no one gets everything they want. that's the first lesson on negotiations. steve: josh scottheimer, thanks. >> thanks, steve. steve: saints fans still crying foul over noncall. leaguowners take the league to court. 76ers game those boys live nut studio next. ♪ ♪

they become a viral sensation. we had to have them. ainsley: everyone at the games will look for these two to have the danceoff. brian: i wouldn't be surprised this doesn't turn into a sitcom or dramatic series where they solve crimes and travel the globe. steve: netflix is looking for something. brian: i don't want to by away my ideas on this show. don't be surprised. make them an offer. steve: i would be surprised. ainsley: they could solve the shutdown. that would be the series because it's a soap opera. steve: it's a soap opera. yesterday at this time we didn't know what would happen. the president still had not told nancy pelosi what he wanted to do. he sent a letter. nancy pelosi talked to the department of homeland security and secret service. there is no security problem so i will come and dot state. union in front of congress on tuesday. she wrote back, mr. president, the government is closed. so you can come do it once it is open. that was her pressure.

at 11:12 last night, he tweeted out, you know what? because it is your hall, you run the show there. ainsley: this is what he tweeted us. the shutdown was going on. nancy pelosi asked me to gift state of the union address. i agreed, she changed her mind because of shutdown suggesting a later date. this is her prerogative. i will do the address when the shutdown is over. i'm not looking for alternative venue for the state of the address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the house chamber. i look forward to giving a great state of the union address in the near future. brian: she went back. she didn't stop. around 11:00, i hope by saying near future you support the house package to end the shut down. senate will vote on it tomorrow. open the government. repay the federal workers. negotiate the differences. the problem she is not negotiating the differences. the reason the president walked out last time they met, she didn't put the wall on table. no one is saying it has to be

2,000 miles or no one is saying it has to be solid steel. i mean solid concrete fence. that led many people like the 30 democrats, one which steve just talked to, isn't there a way for to us get past our leadership and start talking with each other? there was a lot of hope on the republican side because they, behind closed doors are seeing democrats are not budging. they seem to be getting frustrated with their leadership. steve: we just had josh gottheimer on, one of the blue dog democrats, open for a strong border. does that mean wall money? he said he wouldn't negotiate on television. nonetheless he kept saying look, we're all for a strong border, but you got to open the government first. listen to this. >> i think there is actually on terms of border security, a lot of us believe we need tough borders. we need to consider all options. we need actually to fix immigration reform. we need to sit at the table to have the conversation. you have to open the government.

doing this way the government is supposed to function you can't put your security and economy at risk. ainsley: brian also interviewed governor jim justice, of west virginia. he used to be a democrat. he is now a republican because he says his former parter is too far to the left. listen to this great interview. >> nancy pelosi is so far out in left field you can even see her. they need to the come to the table. the reason i switched parties is real simple. the democrats were moving in a direction where you could get nothing done, there was no hope whatsoever. he is asking for something that will help all of us, to protect our borders, to keep the bad stuff out. what is the other side doing? the other side is hitting back saying no, because we don't like you. we're not going to do it because we don't like you. brian: so that is what one democrat, former democrat was saying. you have another democrat like senator warner, big critic of president but not here. he says this. we need protection, i'm all for it. if we agree to a number, let's

do it. he tells that to neil cavuto last night. you mentioned this in the zick hour. looks like jared kushner is working on some type of compromise package that would give 700,000 dream arrest green card, a path towards not citizenship, but residency. so even more than the president put out. he will see if he can get some democratic support. evidently he has respect on the other side. steve: what we heard, apparently jared kushner is dealing with u.s. senators from both sides of the aisle and he, his, marching orders from the white house, go big. perhaps some sort of a grand bargain, which would do something about the status of dreamers over, traps, talking about right now, 10 years, but in return for that, right now they're negotiating whether or not the president would get not $5.6 billion, but would get north of $20 billion. it would be all the wall money

that he asked for in return for the dreamers status protection and a path forward. is that something that is going to happen? don't know. we just know today that we'll have two votes in the senate. it doesn't look as if either one of those bills is going to pass. but we have also heard there could be a plan b. that is after, this was the president was going to be making a speech on tuesday night. that was the plan. he would say look, we've been negotiating for 40 days. nancy pelosi won't do anything. but i found the money to build the wall. 5.$6 billion worth. that does not require an emergency declaration. he has some other mechanism via the federal government to do that. will that happen? i don't know. brian: watching some democrats they can't believe to a degree the president is keeping his republicans together on this part of the reason the president is showing that he is negotiating. even though he put out proposals on saturday, since then he said i'm negotiating by my seven. if republicans will get upset the a president they're getting

upset at the wrong person. you have one sideshowing flexibility to get a deal done. the other side getting great joy continuing the standoff of the. ainsley: i was surprised he decided not to do the state of the union address and listen to nancy pelosi. i thought he would pick another venue but he didn't. we'll get that addressee eventually, hopefully soon. brian: i'm glad he is not. it will end up being a rally. half the country wouldn't be watching. ainsley: democrats won't show up. steve: he will do the state of the union sometime at the house of representatives. he still could do a rally on tuesday night. just won't call it state of the union. ainsley: that is huge story this week for us. also the covington catholic high school story. you saw what happened in washington. nathan phillips, who is the native-american speaking out in an interview this morning. watch this. >> that mass of young men surrounded me and folks that were with me. it was a moment to, when i was

in prayer, it wasn't that i felt like i could stop anything or do anything, but, i felt like i spiritually moved into that center, center of that whirlwind. steve: that appears to be different than what we have seen. we just showed a snippet of, viral moment that went viral over the weekend. but this is the part where he is actually watching, walking toward the young men. for him to say the young men surrounded him, perhaps that is true after he walked over to them. brian: three things. black hebrew israelites, started with the verbal barrage. then you had the native-american protest which overlapped somehow, with the, pro-life demonstration that was taking place. the worlds came together. nobody can agree what they see in the video. what do you mean he is

surrounded? he walked towards pounding his drum. see it in the video with the wide shot. steve: when you stopped, there are a number of people around him. that is what he is talking about. clearly he walked up to them. ainsley: we talked to michelle malkin earlier, she describe as culture war going on in our country this is what she says. >> cultural rorschach test. what do you see? if you see in the faces of these young boys some sort of threat of violence, when we see real violence by antifa and the left over the last several years, assassination threats against our president. we've got a problem here. it is a cultural pathology. steve: all right, meantime we understand that prosecutors an members of congress are trying to figure out who exactly put out that original tweet that went viral, brought us to where we are. they can't figure out who it

belongs to. brian: we're still talking about late into thursday? we're still differing on what everybody sees in the same video? ainsley: the story keeps unfolding and developing. steve: every day -- >> diocese has given all-clear. they had to evacuate the diocese that is over that catholic school. more threats. steve: unbelievable. ainsley: send it over to jillian with headlines for us. jillian: we're following this story, the trump administration is refusing to comply with socialist dictator nicolas maduro 72-hour deadline to remove u.s. diplomats from venezuela t comes after president trump recognized resistance leader juan guaido as the country's interim president. marco rubio tweeting quote, the administration of president trump deserves lots of credit for this. this is regional partnership, not a unilateral u.s. dominated effort. and the trump administration has been careful not to act without

federal workers, that is laudable priority for sure, but let's actually pay them so they can't be use as pawns. if we're not paying them, then i don't know what else to say except the democrats actually want them as leverage. that is really not right. let's pay them right now. let's pass these kind of bills. steve: this story has not gotten a lot of mainstream media coverage. we're glad we could bring you on what is going on behind the scenes, actually in the house of representatives. also earlier this week you put out a tweet i believe, about media's attack on christians. what are you talking about? >> this started with the march for life. aside from fox news, march for life doesn't get a whole lot of coverage, even though there are hundreds of thousands of people coming out in a positive, optimistic way. i was there. this was really a great march. it was a great group of people. didn't really get a lot of coverage. but what did get coverage the covington high school students that you were reporting on earlier. that story has been thoroughly

are still furious and you can understand it too and some are even headed to court after controversial play on the rams. we can't show the video anymore because of rights. a pair of season tick can the holders are so holders over the loss. they want the lying to reverse the results of the game, do it over, at least the last two minutes. the lawyer suing the nfl, frank dominco, jr. what basis do you sue the league for? >> all the cases brought against the league have been money damages, fans upset about some cheating that is going on bit patriots or something that happened in a game that was unfair. and suing for money damages as a result. this is not a suit for money damages. in louisiana we have a procedure which is known as writ of mandamus. in that people involved can rule a court, rule a corporation into court to follow its own rules and bylaws.

that is what we're doing here. we have two season ticketholders on behalf of all the other season ticket hold who are ruling commissioner goodell into court to explain to the court why he is not enforcing of the rules of the game. brian: the commission her has sole authority to take appropriate disciplinary or corrective measures in any club measure. the ram player knows it is a penalty. no one i know saw that play, doesn't think it's a penalty. i get that you would prefer to get both teams back on the field, play the last two minutes? >> we could do many things with this. the commissioner in this situation is caesar. he can do whatever he wants. he can reverse the scoreses in the game. he can declare new orleans the winner. could replay the game in its entirety or could go back in time to the spot of the foul to change the outcome of the game. the statisticians all said if the proper call is made, the saints get the ball first and goal at five or six yard line.

they virtually run out the clock, score a touchdown, kick a field goal and win. there is 97% probability they win the game. that wasn't done. the commissioner has the authority to change that. do i expect him to reverse the result? no. do i expect him to play the game in its entirety over? no. if he wanted to do the right thing, he would come out publicly would explain why he is not following the rules, and why he is not following the rules and make some reparations to saints. he is not saying anything to anyone. brian: i asked judge napolitano personally. he answered this on the show. here is what he said about your legal case. >> i think it is dead in the water. i mean, i was horrified by the call as was almost everybody that saw it but there are certain things courts can't resolve. look the lawsuit basically asks a judge to force roger goodell, the nfl commissioner, to exercise discretion that he already exercised.

they just don't like the way he exercised it. brian: so he said you're dead in the water but he understands where you are coming from. legally he is right, frank? >> no, no. just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it can't be done. certainly these people have standing to bring a lawsuit to compel the commissioner to come to court and explain why he is not enforcing the rules. look, it is obvious the rule was not enforced. the penalty was not called. why isn't the commissioner enforcing that rule? why didn't he enforce it then? why isn't he doing something about it now? now his remedy is up to him. yes, that is discretionary but this is black eye on the nfl. the whole world is looking at this. brian: really on those two refs that, really -- >> more than two. there were three refs. multiple angles. three refs looking at it. brian: it was a blown call but i just don't think we can end up suing people for blown calls but i understand how resourceful you

are and how confident you are as an attorney and how passionate you are about the saints. frank, thanks so much for joining us, explaining your side. we'll see. we reached out to the nfl, they did not answer us either. >> they won't. brian: i know the saints were great and drew brees is maybe the best ever. meanwhile straight ahead the video is stunning. more than 100 migrants climbing over a border fence from mexico into the united states. isn't this why we need a wall? plus, we booked pete hegseth to come here and he has shown up. ♪ are creating the future.

over the border wall in arizona. ainsley: border patrol agents say a smuggler helped them get across using a ladder. brian: griff jenkins has been looking at this video. spent many days traveling with the migrants before they got to the barrier. griff, what do you think. reporter: guys, good morning, a reminder while washington is shut down smuggling operations are not. when you look at the video, others like it, it shows these people are apprehended by the u.s. customs, border patrol. processed and released, almost all of them because the facilities to hold them, particularly family units have no more space to put them because the numbers are so overwhelming. in regards to this video, arizona and customs border patrol, tweeted this. border patrol agents apprehended 100 plus central americans illegally scaled the wall with assistance after smuggler with a ladder. this comes after the shocking

video with 376 my grants. that caravan of 2000 plus i traveled with continue marching towards tijuana. tensions towards mexico's southern border are rising because 10,000 my grants are stuck there, registered for temporary asylum but never received their papers as of yet. officials there, stopping, one el salvador gang member there earlier this week. why that matters, my sources tell me today in the rvg sector since the president visited december 1st in 2018, they arrested more than 100 people believed to be el salvador gang members. 14,000-pounds of dope have been confiscated. a very, very fluid situation on our border, guys. steve: no kidding, griff. they just keep coming. thanks very much for the very latest. >> let's bring in pete hegseth, co-host of "fox & friends weekend." >> good morning. >> what do you think of that?

shocking them to see them coming over. >> i think it's a beautiful video. there is barrier there meant to deter the people from doing it. our policies are magnet for people wanting to come to the country, the minute they hit soil, claim a asylum or ref fee status into a catch-and-release program is indicative of failed policy on other side of the border. we could be looking at people running across a empty desert. this is way worse than this. gives border patrol time to interdict. apparently they didn't flee. that to me is beautiful picture even though i don't like the fact they're breaking a law, they will face law eventually. steve: you mentioned the catch-and-release angle. they touched american soil. there is so much overcrowding in that particular section, everybody was given a piece of paper. come back for your court date. >> it is absolutely absurd. why trump calls it dumb. no sovereign nation who respects citizens disrespects border way

we do right now. getting our arms around it is why the shutdown is worth it. president is fighting the right fight. brian: one. reasons we're having problems not because of mexico, because of central and south america. more care i don't see taking place. venezuela failed socialist regime under hugo chavez has been replaced by maduro. he is so terrible, oil-rich nation, there is nothing in the supermarkets, nothing in the streets, they have stolen all the money from the people and basically today they're eating their pets. the administration made extraordinary move recognizing another leader, president guaido, that we recognize him, not maduro as the leader this is extraordinary. >> it's a mess in venezuela. you didn't think it could get worse with hugo chavez. it did with maduro. he had a sham election. we didn't recognize his claim to be leader of venezuela. resistance leader is 35-year-old engineer who leads the national assembly. the question is where does the army go, police go, where do all

the other leaders in the country go. this 35-year-old leader u.s. recognized in extraordinary step trying to fight for freedom. he is trying to tell the army, you need to disband and i give you amnesty. ainsley: as a result maduro is furious. he is saying american diplomats have 72 hours to get out. why is this important? >> this is important because freedom matters in the world. freedom is on the march or in retreat. south america saw itself go left for decade in the last century. we are seeing a move back towards some representative opportunities. america will always, should always be a beacon for free people who seek to yearn and live free. the question, are they capable of it? we can't give it to them. we can't do it for them. we'll not deploy a bunch of troops to stand on one side even though we left all options on the table. we still stand for something. they want to us recognize them. steve: one other thing, they are in part our gas station. a lot of gas from venezuela comes this way. >> and russia. steve: oil futures are down.

brian: to your point, those diplomats were told to leave. you know what mike pompeo says, stay. they're not leaving. this will be perilous day to find out if their security can be kept by the 35-year-old leader. the generals might stay with maduro, but that doesn't -- >> where do the rank-and-file go. many which have not been paid for a while, with family tortured and and in prison. >> this successful country was brought down by socialism. if you want to lead preview what socialism does, it leads to these kind of moments. >> tell us about the your didn'ttry. >> on "fox nation," ace of spades is dropping. about the hunt and capture of saddam hussein. you think know, but what is took to find the world's most ruthless dictator is an amazing story. here is just a small clip of "ace of spades." >> saddam hussein and his sons must leave iraq within 48 hours. >> operation iraqi freedom has

begun. >> he was really one of the most vicious tyrants, certainly of the 21st century. >> there were reports in fact he had gone in hiding. >> iraqis were always concerned somehow, some way he would find a way to come back. >> saddam hussein had hundreds of bodyguards. when the war began he tells them all go away except for one. ♪ >> gives me chills, one bodyguard, could they find him, would he talk down to the last minute. rather than getting peep at top, they started from the grassroots and built a maze, a mafia map how to find saddam. they ultimately found him. i won't tell you. they had to find him. steve: so much of the actual story was unveiled live on our program. so if you missed it, forgotten about it, go to foxnation.com. >> it was a fun project. i think folks love it. brian: go to "fox nation," click on you. >> click on my face, or ace of

♪ steve: reports of drone sightings near newark international airport and teterboro a couple nights ago brought air traffic to a standstill tuesday night. this comes one month after reported drone sightings shut down gatwick airport in london, one of the busiest in europe. so what kind of damage could a drone do if hit by a jetliner? a lot. here to explain strategic advisor at white fox defense, former defense and special operations intel analyst and author of, drone warrior brett belocvich. as you can see he is in miami. brett we've seen video, we have video we can put up, apparently the university of dayton did a test, and when you watch it, the side of a wing, if a drone goes through it, that is big problems

for that airplane? >> exactly. shows us how vulnerable we are. as if airline passengers don't have headaches while draft traveling they can add a list of rowing drones that can disrupt travel this incident that occurred at the airport there, it should be a wakeup call to aviation officials worldwide, any kid with 100-dollar drone intentional or not has the ability to disrupt major airport operation and it will not get any better. last year alone there were over 2,000 sightings reported by pilots of drones flying within the airspace. it will get worse and what we need to combat this are effective counterdrone technologies, technologies that exist today, to be implement the at these airports to detect, mitigate, identify the threats before it is too late. steve: absolutely. brett, i have not talked about this, a month 1/2 ago i was flying into laguardia, looking at new york city skyline, right out there, i have no idea,

500 feet, 1000 feet, at my altitude there was a drone right there. so what are these technologies that could stop this or at least manage it? >> right. so when i talk about this thing i think people think this tech is 100 years out. it is not. it exists today, okay? right now we have the ability to put censors around airports that can detect any drone that is flying, even if it is not flying, just a drone being turned on. it can provide a location of the drone, location of the operator. it can tell aviation officials trajectory of it, down to the cereal number of that drone. in the future we can tell who is flying it. from there we also have automated software can identify if this is a threat. not every drone flying around an airport is necessarily a threat. typically what we're seeing are people that are clueless and careless about these issues. then we have tech that can jam and drop these drones out of sky, even take over the controls of it, mitigate that threat immediately and all this happens in real time. steve: right. i like that one the best.

just shoot out a beam from the airport and if you're within a couple miles if you got a drone, it will not take off. >> yeah. exactly. and one more thing. i this has greater implications than just aviation security, okay? right n.o.w. u.s. critical infrastructure, most critical infrastructure does knot have counterdrone solutions as part of their security plan. that is a huge problem, especially on top of that, you when you look at border security, we don't have counterdrone solutions in place there. steve: great point. >> i guarranty you somewhere drug trafficking organizations taking a drone, putting contraband on it and flying across the border. you can put a wall up three for hundred feet in the air it won't matter. we have to use the solutions. we need to implement it now of the tech exists. get it out there and stop wasting time and put the proper regulations in place to mitigate it effectively. steve: congress waiting for the government shut down could take
