gunshot to the shoulder. but two officers are in critical condition with gunshots to the neck. in this first month of 2019, which isn't even over yet, four officers have been shot and killed. not to mention those injured like these houston officers in what texas governor greg abbott describes as a horrific attack. now, in a few hours, we expect to learn more about the shooting and the officers' condition when the police chief talks to the media. we do know, guys, one of these officers have been shot previously, back to you. steve: that's right. he was lead agent on the case. todd, thank you very much. as todd said, there was a tip from a neighbor. and apparently undercover cops had bought some black tar heroin from these two people who were killed by cops and that's what led to the actual knock on the door and as soon as the door went in, what happened? the bad guys started shooting. ainsley: i wish they wouldn't say a tip from neighbors. i feel like they could find out who that neighbor is and

they could be in danger. steve: suspects are both dead. brian: a way of saying hey, listen, the neighborhood had to stand up and help the cops, ainsfully a way. saying, listen, this neighborhood told us about it. we took the call. then we called nash narcotics. narcotics. first guy in didn't know what he was getting and he got shot. police union president was on last night. >> i want to speak on behalf of the 5200 brave men and women of the houston police department and other 800,000 police officers working these streets every single day putting their lives on the line we are sick and tired of having targets on our back. we are sick and tired of having dirt bags trying to take our lives when all we are trying to do is protect this community and protect our families. enough is enough. and if you are the ones out there spreading the rhetoric that police officers are the enemy, well just know we have all got your number now. we will be keeping track of all of y'all we will hold

you accountable every time you stir the pot on our police officers. we have had enough, folks. we are out there doing our jobs every day putting the lives on the line for our family. enough is enough. steve: enough is enough. ainsley: good for him. he speaks for the majority of our country. we are all so tired of this. they were trying to get drugs off the street to help families and make sure kids don't get addicted and this is what happened. steve: that is the union president. the governor of the great state of texas who brian talked to on friday said of this incident i ask all texans to join cecilia, and his wife and me for praying for the officers injured and for the continued safety of all law enforcement officers who protect our community. brian: yeah. so, we will bring you the latest as two officers struggle for their lives and other two are expected to recover. meanwhile, three minutes after the top of the hour. let's talk about what we are going to be dealing with over the next couple weeks. negotiations on both sides to come together wall funding, border security in a way both sides will be satisfied with that would

reveal some compromise. president says to "wall street journal" yesterday less than a 50/50 chance of actually something getting done. others, senator schumer made a brush back pitch, mr. president stay out of this. we will get it done without you. what you where to hear is why the president is somewhat down about the prospects of pulling it off. ainsley: editorial boards and democrats saying we need to negotiate. he wants a wall. we want daca recipients protected. let's come to the middle and negotiate. kamala harris, senator now running for president in 2020 she announced her campaign a few days ache in oakland. she was on another channel and she said no matter, what no matter what, no money for the wall. listen. >> let me be very clear, i'm not going to vote for a wall under any circumstances and i do support border security. if we want to talk about that let's do that and let's talk about really accomplishes border security, which is let's upgrade the technology. let's look at the fact that the folks who are working on border security on the

ground know that they need upgraded infrastructure around things like drones and they need cameras. so, yes, i'm all for increased border security where we need it. i'm not for a wall. steve: and she said it would be inhumane to protect daca kids but not their parents. she also yesterday embraced alexandria ocasio-cortez's greenishive which is hop host of many free programs. what is going on behind closed doors. big committee going to meet toll. from the house you have six democrats and four republicans. according to west virginia's shelley moore capito, the talks are active and right now they are trying to figure out how to get a deal and she predicts that the final agreement will have money for a physical border, a barrier. but the question is, how much?

we have heard the president, republicans say look, we need some structure. mark meadows made the case last night where he said look, you don't want a structure, essentially then if you have the smart technology you just have a ring doorbell down at our southern border. watch. >> it's like having your front door open. you have a lock on it, you have to have a front door. >> wait until they come. >> in have a camera on your front door anybody can come in and we are going to monitor that? no. we have got to be serious about it. i can say that the president is willing to act. ainsley: good example. when you have democrats who say we want drones and technology. they are saying we want to stop people from crossing over illegally and we want to do it with technology. we don't want the wall. which tells us they are saying it without saying it that they just don't want the president to have a win here and they don't want the president to have a wall. they want to stop it. steve: walls works. how many times have we heard people say that there is a

reason they are around prisons. brian: take democrats to stand up to the leadership and that's what it's going to be. the leadership is not going to budge. but, i just know one thing the american people don't want a shutdown. they have got to come to some type of agreement next three weeks. no appetite for what we went through because it hurts innocent people and they have a hard time catching up because there is some, many of which living paycheck to paycheck. four states are on the border. one of which we don't talk about much, that's new new mexico, for the most part it's a blue state. editorial board. albuquerque journal, editorial board is pretty much saying i see the point the president has, the nation needs dug in leaders to step up and find immigration compromise. albuquerque general goes on to say democrats have countered with a proposal. proposal didn't include one inch of a wall steel fencing or other barriers. that's a mistake. mexico is taking in hundreds of people in facilities and

providing them medical care. democrats have labeled substandard. how can anyone with a conscious let that continue. that's a fact. steve: blue state. they have acknowledge that the drug problems and they say it's not just what the president is saying. they are saying we see it here in new mexico every day. no doubt they write that a border wall is a deterrent and it's time for d.c. leaders to compromise. said that democrats refuse to include one inch of wall and according to the albuquerque journal that is a mistake. ainsley: they go on to say this is an opportunity not to be wasted by the continued refusal to compromise that we have seen. steve: all right. so, anyway, the committee gets together for the first time tomorrow afternoon at 1:30, something has got to give. ainsley: meanwhile, while you are at your house this morning getting ready for breakfast and getting the kids ready for school, you have got thousands of migrants walking up trying to get into the united states. steve: at least 12,000 was

the estimate yesterday heading to the north. we did hear from griff jenkins that apparently a number of them are taking mexico up on the offer for work and to stay in mexico rather than making the arduous trip all the way. still, it's thousands heading this way. heading north. brian: when you can't get democrats to agree there is a crisis. i think that's a crisis. so, you have people out there saying the president is making it up. you just have to go down there and talk to the people. even if they have different methods and procedures to seal the border, nobody says this is not a crisis. just when it actually started maybe you want to debate that the president is not letting it go. he wants to address it that's what he ran on. it's only getting worse. steve: unfortunately, a lot of the migrants are getting bad information in their countries of origin. they are being told you know, you can go north and ask for asylum. you have family in ohio? they will let you. in that's not true. family reunification is not a reason. you need a job in texas? they are going to let you

in. they will not let you in. those are not standards by which you can claim asylum. brian: problem is, too. there is also a message going out there that the president is about to crack down so we have got to get in quick can. steve: we are cracking down. brian: before we seal to have. ainsley: exactly right. they are worried there will be a wall so they better get in now and before they change the law. steve: griff jenkins is heading down to the caravan. they will be reporting live from there tomorrow. ainsley: chris christie saw him in the green room this morning he wrote a tell-all book. it's great. we have all read it. here it is. he is going to be on our show coming up. steve: meanwhile, jillian is coming up with the news. >> ainsley: roger stone is expected in court in a few hours. long-time advisor to president trump will be arraigned in washington on seven charges. the sphown accusing him of lying to congress, obstruction, and witness tampering in the russia probe. stone says he is innocent and there was no collusion. >> there is no russian collusion.

i had no collaboration with weeks. i'm not charged with conspiracy. they want to see you lens me because i will stand up for donald trump. that's what this is really about. ainsley: stone is out of jail on bond. china is urging the u.s. to back off of tech giants way. beijing calling criminal chinese against the company company quote politically motivated. stealing trade secrets, fraud and violating u.s. sanctions on iran. also charged top executives. what you way denies ned. steve: all right, jillian, thank you very much. meanwhile, do you have an iphone. a lot of people do. now there is news from apple somebody could actually be listening to your calls before you realize you are making a video chat with them. ainsley: awesome. 2020 democrats want 020 taxes and more regulation.

steve: he is getting started with a brand new book today called let me finish. the power of in your face politics. chris christie the former governor of the state of new jersey joins us live. chris: sounds just like me. steve: the book is terrific. >> thank you. steve: we will talk all about it in the next segment. if you have a question for the governor email us at friends@foxnews.com. because you are much like nancy pelosi, a master legislator, let's try to figure out where we go from here regarding this three-week, you know, respite from the government shutdown. chuck schumer essentially says the president needs to stay out of the negotiation. listen to the sound bite. >> in the past, when the

president has stayed out of it, when the president has given congress room, we have been repeatedly able to forge bipartisan agreements. when the president injects max mallist partisan demands into the process negotiations tend to fall apart. the president should allow the conference committee to proceed with good faith negotiations. steve: okay. how good faith are they governor? >> they haven't been good faith so are if a. the idea that the president shouldn't be involved is a recipe for failure. because, in the end they need his signature. i used to say when i was governor in trenton, there were three numbers that matters, 41, 21 and 1. majority in the lower house you were house and governor's signature. i always loved to be in the one. that was the easiest one to control because it's your decision. they have to involve the president. the president is ready to be involved. i'm confident the president is ready to be involved. what he is not ready to do is to capitulate. i think, you know, that's

what they're looking for and looking to try to roll him. i think he learned a lot from the last 35 days. i think he needs to be much more ready to get in there what you have to deal with when you are dealing with a legislature of the oar party. brian: people said he lost, he caved. it's reality. if someone is not going to negotiate and engage and they can run out the clock and you took responsibility for the shutdown, you are going to lose temporarily, he also said behind closed doors he blames paul ryan because paul ryan gave him a budget in the fall that only had 1.6 billion for the wall. does he know what he ran on? he said the word was screwed. >> one of the things that the president sees now is that this process is one where you don't always as a president or governor have all the leverage that you want. people complain all the time that he is stu stubborn and not willing to change his mind. did he change his mind when he saw the suffering going

on by workers lost two paychecks and workers going on a airport. >> he said i want the wall. i'm not going to do that to these folks. give them three weeks to good faith. somebody who knows how to change their mind to adjust to the circumstances. ainsley: when parents were separated froseparated from chie put them back together. daca recipients can stay in the country. now they are mad because they are not letting the parents stay. >> they will always move the goal post. mainstream media treats him like a cartoon character. they really do part what people need to understand this is a guy who listens. is he strong and tough but he listens. he made some changes. now i think this three weeks is going to be very interesting. if they try to exclude him. they are setting everybody up for failure and leaving him with no alternative but to take executive action himself. steve: which he has threatened. brian: yesterday matt whitcher the acting attorney general said in first press

conference that he believes mueller is coming towards close to being completed of his investigation. from what you know about investigations. and robert mueller what do you think. >> listen, matt would know better than anybody. since matt is supervising it. i can just tell you that the thing about this mueller investigation is there have been no leaking. and you just don't know what they are up. to say and i used to say when i was u.s. attorney. the best thing about being u.s. attorney only i knew what i knew. bob mueller is certainly following that mantra. matt probably knows more than anybody in the country. take matt's word for it but bob mueller doesn't feel, to me, like he is almost done. i don't think he is ending on roger stone but might be. steve: we haven't seen mueller tip his hand. you have seen his indictments. so far you look at roger stone on friday five counts of lying to congress. obstruction, maybe witness tampering. there is no collusion u and that was the whole premise.

>> of course. as i said, on this show. way back when i was governor and they first appointed mueller that the problem with special counsel is that they feel like if they are not bringing charges, they are not doing anything. regular prosecutor knows if i don't do this case i do the next case and can walk away from a case. special counsel, if they don't do something on, this they are eliminated and that's one of the problems. brian: you said, too. when it comes to collusion, you said couldn't get -- taking a dig at trump. couldn't get a ground game going in pennsylvania how are they going to get something colluding with the russians? >> one of the beauties of the campaign and short comings it was by the seat of the paints. you didn't have until kellyanne conway got there. you are telling me didn't have field op.s in pennsylvania running some sort of collusion scheme out of trump tower.

i don't buy it and i never have bought it. steve: in your book you talk about how you are on the verge of pennsylvania. jared kushner calls you up how many people do we need there? this is politics 101 and that guy is running the show. >> we don't have them yet? late august? we got 60 days until the election. we have got to get going here. ainsley: what about 2020? all these democrats are putting their names in the hat now. they are very, very far left socialists. >> yep. ainsley: furious with howard schultz. >> god bless howard schultz run howard run. you look at this group. let's face it here's the thing. you can't look at that group and pick out hot winner is going to be. you just can't. and i remember being -- our group in 2016. brian: you had 16? >> we had 17 people. at this time three years ago, you know, people were saying jeb bush was the frontrunner. nobody can really tell what's going to happen when these guy -- i always say

all the time presidential campaigns when the lights go on they are so bright you either shine or you melt. we will see a whole bunch of these people who think they are going to be president melt really quickly. steve: i remember the morning of the new hampshire primary you joined us at our first ever diner location, the airport diner in manchester. it was you, donald trump and jeb bush all together that was pretty much the starting gate. things didn't work out for you. the president wound up winning new hampshire. in your book though, you make it pretty clear that you were just not the choice the number two choice to be vice president. but the one person between you and that job was probably jared kushner. >> that's the way it sounds and that's certainly what i was told at the time. the president and i have a 17-year friendship. that's what a lot of people don't understand. i didn't endorse donald trump three weeks after i dropped out of the race because, well, i liked him.

i endorsed him because we had a long-term friendship and i knew that if i helped him that i could help him be a good candidate, a better candidate and hopefully president. ainsley: you helped him. zero governors had endorsed him and zero senators you write about in your book. and even some people on your staff were not supportive of you endorsing him. he is your friend for 17 years. would you go up against him in 2020. >> no. no, no, no. ainsley: you did say never say never in an interview. >> i did say never say never to running for president some day. no, i'm not challenging the president in 2020. i'm a frefnsd the president and supporter of the president. i fully expect the president is going to be our nominee. with howard schultz in the race. he have an absolutely smashing victory whoever the democrat is. so, no, i answered a question in california a week ago where they said will you run for president again i said ever is a long time you never say never i'm only 56 years old. some people misinterpret that 2020 is the president's

game to play. brian: would you run if steve runs? >> i would run against steve. brian: what about your friendship? >> like the semi-final. jersey kings is and then you move from there. steve: speaking of the jersey thing and you talk a little bit about that because the feeling was because you were running the transition, you know, you and two other guys from jersey somehow it got into the president's head probably from his son-in-law it was a jersey thing. >> 140 people and three guys from jersey. three guys from jersey. none of them were getting paid. unusual for a jersey guy. we took no pay. steve: regarding jared kushner though the reason he did not want you in the administration. you got fired by steve bannon for the transition after you had done all that work for six or seven months. brian: how you kept your cool, i don't understand. >> i love the president that's how i kept my cool. steve: you do tell the story 'the reason jared kushner didn't want you and you came to blows in a room with donald trump is he was still

angry that you put his dad away for 24 months. you detail in the book what his dad allegedly did and it was not good stuff. >> listen, it's not allegedly, steve, he admitted it he pled guilty. this is not a case where someone says it was run amuck jury and i wasn't really guilty he pled guilty to 18 counts. so, you know, i was doing my job. that's exactly what. i have to tell you how much i admired the president that day. it was just me, the president and corey lewandowski in that room. and jared was making his case about why i was untrustworthy about what i had done to his father. do you know what the president said he? said he was doing his job. how far could you criticize chris for doing his job? he was the prosecutor. he had this evidence. you would have done the same thing if you were in his position. brian: he went on to say, too. if your dad did some really bad things and it was his brother that brought the case to you. you didn't know about this whole things. they had videotapes. you pick up the cell phone. i could have prosecuted this

case. >> yes, you could have. brian: because i watched paper chase in 1978. this is not your fault. and it's amazing that he never let it go and in the end i think it's hard not to conclude he hurt the president's first two years. >> getting rid of the transition not only jared it was steve bannon. he was the one who pulled the trigger. worse than firing me was they threw out the work of 140 people for six months if you look back on some of the reporting back then, people were reporting that our transition was way ahead of hillary clinton's and much better. steve: they could have avoided a lot of the problems in the first six months if they would have followed your plan. steve: we have more with the governor. let me finish. we will let him finish ains instance and answer your questions. >> absolutely. great news for a- uh uh - i'm the one who delivers the news around here. ♪

pretty much the perfect word, the perfect title for a guy that was really made his name as a youtube open forum governor where he took -- you took all questions? >> yep. brian: you let people go at you. the harder the question the more aggressive the better you did. >> i enjoyed it and new jersey is that kind of place. ainsley: when was the first press conference when it all started. steve: town hall. ainsley: when you said you better get off the beach. >> i called one of the reporters thin skinned guy in america. became crazy. we were the first governor to use youtube in a really aggressive way. hard to remember when we didn't have it. but, back in 2010. not a lot of people were using it. >> your book is great. i love the story. you are with the president, soon to be president donald trump. steven miller had crafted a great concession speech. but said, you know what? we don't have a victory speech and then you sat down and tried to figure it out.

>> we all sat together and vice president elect and steven miller and jared and ivanka. steve: what does d. that say no victory speech. >>s you what the mindset is. when i got to the trump tower the exit polls were out really bad. you can't help but be affected by that and i think everybody was. that's why you got to actually counts the vote. ainsley: governor, we have questions from viewers. asked them to send them. in jason writes if you were president and had the shutdown looming, would you call state of emergency for the wall? >> i think the president made the right decision not to do it and to try to work it the other way. because, you know, we don't know how the courts will rule on the state of emergency ultimately and also the president is trying to keep a good relationship with congress. he doesn't want to take that power away from congress. and i think the president made the right decision. what people don't understand about this president is he does know how to negotiate. he knows how to build relationships. and he is trying to do that but if people on the other side don't want to build a relationship with you. it's impossible to do it. brian: there is a couple of things.

the next question you covered, media coveraged him like a car toonget real quick about you as an individual. first you thought you were going to be vice president. the only other job i'm interested in is attorney general. so then pretty much you get knocked out and get fired you didn't like the fact that the president never admitted you got fired. then they come out and said we need to see you. something you might be interested rnc chairman. >> yeah. brian: you are not going to be rnc chairman. reince priebus starts rattling off all these other things, no, no, and no. >> what people need to understand and what comes through in this book is that i love the president and he is my friend. when i saw that stuff going on there at the end. i asked to see the president and i said listen, i came to say goodbye there are some people around here who don't want me around you. i don't want to make this hard for you. don't worry about making me happy. don't worry about it i'm a big boy and i will be here to help you any time you need help like i was with the opioid commission or anything else he needs me to do because i believe is good

for the country. will do you know how i kept my cool? i kept my cool because i love the president and that's the most important thing. brian: this is the inside story he couldn't possibly know from your perspective. >> i think people when you read it, you understand that i have great admiration and respect for the president's leadership ability. and what a good campaigner he was. if you didn't run against him yourself. you can't understand it. ainsley: very detailed. lots of conversations you had with the president including what you felt about michael flynn. you talk about growing up in high school, playing baseball and then your senior year another kid from private school who is a little bit better comes in and takes your spot and how that affected you. it's a great book. congratulations. >> thank you. always great to be with you guys. brian: i have you for an hour on radio. >> looking forward to it. steve: just get off the beach. >> get the hell off the beach. come on, steve. steve: threw are, yell at me again. >> that's exactly right. you are a jersey constituent. steve: i am, indeed. governor, thank you. talk about an awkward moment

steve: just a couple of hours from now that man right there former trump advisor roger stone seen on friday in fort lauderdale set to be arraigned in federal court in d.c. the special counsel accusing him of obstruction and lying to congress. next guest who personally spoke to stone says stone is ready to fight. ainsley: here with more fox news additional analyst and host of liberty file on fox nation judge andrew napolitano. you told our producers you said they sent in 29 agents.

17 vehicles to raid stone's residence. you said the navy seals went after bin laden and only sent in 12 seals. >> this is jack boots in the morning. this is an american nightmare that they would arrest somebody like this. not a public threat. it's not a crime of violence. he has no criminal record. his passport expired. he doesn't own any weapons and they went after him with this kind of fire power. why did they do that? probably to intimidate him and to send a message to the public at large this must be a bad guy or we wouldn't use that kind of force to arrest him. ordinarily in a case speak to prosecutors. the prosecutors will say we will indict him on thursday. we need him at the fbi headquarters in miami on friday morning and he shows shows up. steve: what do you make by the fact he is on all the channels. unlike all the other people been indicted. >> the fact that he has no

bailed. freed on his own signature a promise if he didn't return the bail would be $250,000. tells you what the judge thinks of the case. and there -- roger stone is roger stone. he loves being the center of attention and he wants to get his message out there. but, prediction at the arraignment today the government will do what they did in the manafort case and it's the same judge in washington, d.c. ask for a gag order and probably grant it. this person who makes his living by going on television and radio and expressing an opinion will not be able to do so if he is talking about himself. brian: how much trouble is he in. >> i think he is in a lot of trouble. i actually agree with governor christie. i thought the indictment would be a little stronger. it's kind of thin. look, he is accused of five lies before the house intelligence committee. they won't give him a transcript of what he said before the committee because that's qualified. how could you prosecute somebody when you have and you can't share with him?

>> judge napolitano. thank you very much. see what happens. ainsley: governor andrew cuomo calling out the church. why rush limbaugh says this is another sign of the declining moral foundation of our society. my experience with usaa

ainsley: go by your coats, gloves heaters. make sure you are prepared. brian: zip in your liner. steve: very cold as cold as it has been in 30 years. we have a date a week from today. the president is going it stand in front of nancy pelosi at the state of the union and going to talk about how the state of the union is kind of musted up. they are at loggerheads. trying to figure out some sort of compromise. congressional conference committee where we have republicans and democrats. senators and congressman. they are all sitting around and trying to figure out okay. how do we get what side wants? how do they give us what we want? kamala harris has made it very clear that the president wants a wall, at least some wall or fencing or something but she is a no vote. boy is she. listen. here she is at a town hall last night.

>> let me be very clear i'm not going to vote for a wall under any circumstances i do support border security. if we want to talk about that let's do that and let's talk about what really accomplishes border security. which is let's group grade the technology. let's look at the facts of the folks working on border security on the ground know they need upgraded infrastructure around things like drones and they need cameras. so, yes, i'm all for increased border security where we need it. i am not for all way. brian: as illegal immigrants flood into her safety and the homeless population continues to rise faster than any other in the country. steve: he she is okay on that. brian: she seems to be. she is running on it senator schumer so inappropriate on friday talking about the president better have learned his lesson. everything you learn in life is how do act when you win, how to act when you louise. and then monday he doubled down. he talked about how the president, if he is going to do any good with these negotiations he would keep his mouth shut and stay out of it we get along until he butts in which fundamentally

is never going to work. ultimately this whole plan is put together for the president to okay. ainsley: unbelievable. the highest office in the land and he should stay out of the negotiations? he ran on that, chuck schumer. chris christie was on the couch with us a few minutes ago and this is what he had to say. >> that the president shouldn't be involved is a recipe for failure. because in the end, they need his signature. they have to involve the president. and the president is ready to be involved. i'm confident the president is ready to be involved. what he is not ready to do is to capitulate. and i think, you know, that's what they are looking for and they are looking to try to roll him. this three weeks is going to be very interesting. if they try to exclude him. they are setting everybody up for failure and leaving with no alternative but to take executive action himself. steve: so tomorrow at 1:30 up on capitol hill. that's when the first time this conference committee gets together. and there are already some u.s. senators from the republican side who are suggesting that there are democrats. they are having talks. there aren't enough democrats who do support

some sort of barrier structure. the big question is not how big the money is going to be. it's how much of the wall will democrats allow to be put into this compromise bill? ainsley: kamala harris said here he is trying to separate families. maybe i will let the daca recipients and kids brought here at early age stay. and then she said the parents should stay, too. it keeps getting more and more farther to the left. steve: that's california. it's a sanctuary state. brian: president came out with some really good compromise options two weeks ago and nancy pelosi didn't entertain any of it i'm wondering are those compromise issues of three years for tpps and three years for daca. the seven new border agents. are they still on the table. the president says start from zero. he indicated in the "wall street journal" yesterday, daca, that's for another time. steve: i think everything is on the table. you were talking about how

on friday afternoon announced that he would reopen the government. i'm with you. chuck schumer took the low road. i think nancy pelosi took the high road. yesterday she put out that had a conversation. it was courteous and civil and look forward to working on things like infrastructure. ainsley: in that letter she sent to him at the end of january i want to you postpone your speech and we'll work together to find a date that works best for both of us. so they came up with february 5th. and they both agreed. steve: that's a step in the right direction. we talked about all of these extreme left democrats that are running and very popular, the socialist idea seems to be very popular in the united states right now and has been growing over the last few years. then have you howard schultz, the former ceo of starbucks who says i might actually run for president. he had a book signing yesterday at barnes & noble in new york. he was heckled. listen to this. >> don't help elect trump

you ego cities particular call billionaire. >> sit down. >> go back to [inaudible] on twitter. go back to -- with the other billionaire elites who think they know how to run the world. that's not what democracy needs. steve: i have been to a lot of barnes & nobles but i have never seen anything like that. the reason he got that reaction. is he a lifelong democrat. but he is talking about running for president as an independent. and you saw yesterday there was a lot of reaction from the political left that if he is going to run as an independent, he is going to draw votes. he is going to split the anti-trump vote. and then donald trump would be reelected. in fact, mayor -- former mayor bloomberg said essentially that and there have been a best of democrats who have come out and said as long as howard schultz, even though he is on book tour and listening tour across the country, as long as he is intention on running for president, we

need to boycott starbucks which, you know, that is one of the threats they are making right now unless he shuts up about running for president, we are not going to go to four bucks anymore. brian: howard 14u89s, i'm sure he thought this out. i thought eventually he might get some backlash one day after considering it on "60 minutes" he has a book that comes out and talks about his life and what he wants to accomplish for the country. he also took on aoc and talked about how ill informed she is. and now this type of reaction? i can see if it's november 2020 you can say my goodness are you going to be ralph nader to ralph nader's al gore? ainsley: wall street would love for him to run and republicans would love for him to run. chris christie said run, please run, schultz. he would divide the democratic party. it's interesting how much changed. i remember when bernie sanders got in the race running against hillary clinton. and how he divided the

democratic voted, too. there were so many younger democrats that voted for him and supported him. and really did, it cost hillary clinton the race. now they don't want that to happen. steve: sure, the reaction to him is so sharp because clinton has a lot of money. and he presents a real threat. meanwhile, talk about this. yesterday we were telling you a little bit about the fact that here in new york state governor cuomo signed the reproductive health act which makes it legal to have an abortion up until birth. we had cardinal dolan on the program yesterday. and he hates this. and he hates the fact that andrew cuomo, a catholic, signed it listen to this. brian: look at the celebration. >> this is hideous. do not brag about making the state of new york the abortion capital of the world. that is not an enlightened progressive posture. an enlightened progressive

posture you take care of the most smallest defenseless human beings. i can't think of one more than the baby in the um would. let's work together to protect that life. brian: celebrate you can abort a baby up until, what, six months? ainsley: up until the date the child is born that would be being nine months pregnant and walking into the hospitals and saying i don't want the child anymore. i can't even believe that this is happening. steve: here in new york, so many people who are democrats have come up to me and said i can't believe it. ainsley: legally i would be able to get rid of the child. brian: here is rush limbaugh on his show yesterday. >> as all kinds of crimes and injustices are suddenly given up, the fight against proclaim normal we have the declining moral foundation of our society it was epitomized by standing ovations in the new york state senate when they

applauded the fact that nonmedical personnel can now do abortions even up to the due date and if a baby in the womb is intended to be aborted and survives the process they can go ahead and kill it after birth because they know that if anybody does stand up and try to stop them, well, do you know what your life will be like? ask donald trump. steve: there have been a number of catholics in new york that have suggested that the governor should be excommunicated from the catholic church. cardinal dolan didn't think that was going to happen. also a number of people have suggested that he not be allowed to sacrament of communion. according to the cardinal he does not observe that. ainsley: let us know what you think. second your emails in, please. brian: jillian mele is in now. jillian: we continue to follow a story out of houston. get you caught up with fox news alert. four officers shot when a drug raid turns into a standoff in houston.

country. i am living proof of the american dream. i think there is a problem that she has identified the way she is going about it is a bit unformed. >> billionaire and proud of it success story. where alc thinks that's a problem with the system. >> what he is getting to and very true in the democratic primary is that democrats democrats will have to act differently. can't just speak differently act differently in contrast to trump and in contrast to the republican party. they can't just say they want outside corporate influence. they actually won't take corporate pac money. what schultz is doing and aoc is doing is actually showing how they act differently they exemplify it whoever can capture. the break through trump is a very big task for people ho to capture. brian: should we make billionaires inel moral is that a good platform.

>> i don't think anybody is saying make billionaires immoral. what howard schultz is wrong about here he is the very, very small exception not the rule and that a little bit more fairness and justice around the way that our economy works wouldn't be a bad thing and i think would be wildly popular for the vast majority of americans. brian: nathan, give me your top tier? >> i think right now as it stands, senator kamala harris with her rollout over the last couple days is the top tier. she had over 20,000 people in other oakland rollout. that's very impressive. brian: is there another one. >> i don't want to speculate. i like mayor pete out of -- he is a dark horse candidate. brian: very dark. imly. >> cory booker would be my top. former congressman beto o'rourke. brian: do you think they are both. >> in i think they both run. brian: is a raj? >> top tier four person name recognition driven thing that's kamala harris right now beto.

were to make some of the concessions democrats are asking for. do you think democrats should consider compromising on their end? >> yes, they should. >> what do you think. >> yeah, i would agree. >> i think that would be a good start. >> did you know president trump actually has offered that already? >> really?

compromise than anyone else, especially on the left. watch what happened when we asked students knowing what they found out there what they thought of nancy pelosi and what their message was to her on the compromise. >> what would be your message to nancy pelosi shooting down that offer. >> compromise, compromise, compromise. >> it was a wrong move to turn it town. i don't know maybe on her end she should have a more open mind. it is interesting how nancy pelosi simultaneously said i stood my ground and didn't budge but also said president trump didn't offer anything. i couldn't make a deal with him. i couldn't budge. it couldn't be both of those. glad we are able to offer student's opinions on this important issue. ainsley: thank you so much, cabot. all options are on the table when it comes to venezuela. which one should they choose? we will ask dr. sebastian gorka in the next hour. think schools aren't preparing students for the real world? well now there is actual proof of it.

solve it? the premise of opening up the government 35 days, hey, mr. president, we do want to come together with you, but not as long as you keep the government closed. the government is open. what is your excuse for not negotiating? it is not coming from leadership or democratic candidates. steve: rewind the tape. nancy pelosi said i will not give a dollar for it. you have got chuck schumer he has been very clear. very partisan. clearly democrats see political advantage in this to try to deny the president a win but after that five week government shut down, some people are saying, look, we don't want that again. nobody really wins. let's do something together. he wants some wall. we'll give him some wall. we want protections for different people. we'll give them some protections. it is called negotiations, "the art of the deal." ainsley: the president ran on building the wall. many of you ran to the polls

because you were in support of that. chuck schumer has another message for the president. he said this yesterday. >> in the past when the president has stayed out of it, when the president has given congress room, we've been repeatedly able to forge bipartisan agreements. when the president injects maximalist, partisan, demands into the process, negotiations tend to fall apart. the president should allow the conference committee to proceed with good faith negotiations. brian: right. katy hill, democrat from california and she writes, i think honestly there is more common browned than most people realize. there has been a whole battle over the semantics around the wall and shutdown in general. i really believe we'll have something we can get to great deal of agreement on. i think it will be a matter of making sure we all kind of agree this is going to be a compromise. there was no negotiation. only the president was negotiating 35 days.

steve: because democrats would not come to the table without reopening the government first, the president behave them, he threw them things they had asked for, they had voted for in the past. people, 17 republicans, democrats getting together tomorrow afternoon, 1:30 for the first time. the good news is there are a number of republicans who are on the committee who are as dug in as the president on, he has got to get some wall. ainsley, there are a number of democrats on the committee and elsewhere, very prominent, say, not going to happen. ainsley: glad you brought that up. a lot of democrats said they wanted a wall, now they don't because the president want as wall. now they want security cameras and drones. you have kamala harris who is zareing, they wanted daca recipients to be able to stay. the president is not allowing parents to stay, separating parents and children. no matter what he says they have a reason to go against him. kamala harris says under no

circumstance, under no circumstance at all will give him any money for the wall. >> let me be very clear i will not vote for a wall under any circumstance. i do support border security. if we want to talk about that, let's do that. let's talk about what really accomplishes border security, up grade the technology. look at the fact the folks who are working on border security on the ground no they need upgraded infrastructure around things like drones and they need cameras. so, yes, i'm all for increased border security where we need it. i am not for a wall. steve: keep in mind, she is running for president. she is really dug in on that, because she believes her political base wants her to say those things. chris christie in the meantime, he has been, chief executive, he was with us about an hour ago, great new book comes out today, let me finish. he says that the president has something on his side. he is the ultimate guy who can veto it if they don't include any wall.

>> the idea that the president shouldn't be involved is a recipe for failure because in the end they need his signature. they have to involve the president. the president is ready to be involved. i'm confident the president is ready to be involved. what he is not ready to do to capitulate. i think, you know, that is what they're looking for looking to try to roll him. this three weeks will be very interesting. if they try to exclude him, setting everybody up for failure, leaving him no alternative but to teacake seven action. brian: that will be declare a state of emergency, which will bring to court challenges, which will lead to more angst and frustration. ainsley: most people said they are glad he didn't do it, the last is shutdown. if he did later on, on the 15th, democrats didn't give him money were to be the reaction? steve: sure if he declares a national emergency. we have seen tweets from mark meadows, there are a couple ways

president can reprogram money okayed by congress would not require a national emergency. to your point, there is possibility there could be a court challenge, but at the same time, if the money is there, he made the case for national security. that is an emergency, whose side would the courts come down on? brian: 2017 money will finally get spent beginning in february. 5.7 would get him about 235 miles of barrier depending on topography and city. once they bring experts in they will look what is necessary and do what is needed. instead of saying, madam speaker, i will go for this because i want to, it was explainedded by the experts at border, engineers revealed it to me, this is where it belongs. steve: they have identified north of that amount. who knows what they have at their disposal. we're talking about the

president. let's talk about people who might be running for president on the independent ticket. ainsley: howard schultz who is self-made billionaire. he was ceo of starbucks. remember alexandria ocasio-cortez, socialist, she said, i want to tax guys like that 70%. i want 70% of what they make to go back to the people who don't make a lot of money. i want it to go back into the government. he reacted to that yesterday. listen. >> it is so un-american to think that way. i came from the projects. and took advantage of the promise of the country. i'm living proof of the american dream. i think there is a problem that she has identified but i think the way she is going about it unfortunately she is a bit misinformed. brian: if you give up the premise that america is where dreams come true, you have the possibility, no guarranty but you have the opportunity, if you give that up, fundamentally, america loses the thing that brings everybody here. the opportunity for a fresh

start, the ability to be successful. whatever you think of howard schultz, read his story. no one gave him anything. he outworked everybody the he has been, i don't think if you believe in anything he does or everything he does, you have to be very impressed what he accomplished. for him that would be his greatest selling point. steve: there he is saying that alexandria ocasio-cortez's ideas are misinformed and un-american. brian: now you know why he doesn't belong in the democrat party. >> he says democrats health care for all is not realistic, people can't afford it. yet, here is self-made guy, from new york city. made his fortune on the west coast. he is on this one-month listening tour to decide whether or not he would run for president. he was at barnes and noble last night. just the worry among democrats, prominent democrats, former mayor bloomberg yesterday, they came out said, if he runs he will slick the ticket and donald trump will be reelected

as president in 2020. that is what prompted this heckler at barnes and noble to say this to mr. coffee. >> don't help trump. you evil, egotistical billionaire. go back to getting -- on twitter. go back to davos with the other billionaire elites who think they know how to run the world. that is not what democracy means. [booing] steve: he was escorted out. ainsley: billionaire is a bad word now. you can't make money. brian: whatever happened to putting up your hand, saying my point is, howard schultz, congratulations on success you had. i want to read your book. if you run you will help donald trump get elected. you say you're a democrat. that is a conversation. what is with the screaming, anger, being tossed out. can anyone -- this is democrats yelling at democrats. steve: shows you what formidable

telling you truth? did anything prove that he wasn't? >> i, among my many limitations i am not a human polygraph machine. i do not know, even if he made a factual mistake i don't know whether or not he had intent to deceive. i know we spent a lot of time on this wikileaks, whether or not the trump campaign had knowledge that the information would be disseminated publicly. we spent a lot of time on that. i actually asked him intermediary question. adam schiff couldn't get him to answer it but he answered it for us, on republicans who the intermediary was with julian assange. ainsley: so if he didn't tell the truth, but didn't realize he wasn't, for instance, you were at a party, you were there, you might have talked to someone and he doesn't remember talking to that person, he says, no, i never talked to that person, if it turns out he did, he wasn't intending to lie, he didn't inessentially do it, how does that weigh in the courts? >> well thank goodness every

false statement does not result in perjury or a false statement prosecution. if i were to say i hope you have a good thursday. today is not thursday. maybe i just made a mistake. maybe i didn't recall. it has to be a material misrepresentation with the intent to deceive. it is tough to win these cases, so the fact that mueller has brought some of them, they have resulted in guilty pleas or admissions tells me must feel like he has a pretty good case. brian: who is the intermediary you were able to find out? you said you found out the intermediary between wikileaks and roger stone? >> wasn't it kredico, randy kredico. >> yeah. steve: will be interesting to see if robert mueller goes after everybody who lied in front of congress during your tenure. that would be a crowded courtroom. talk about, congressman, the race for the 2020 presidency. and you see, and you've got a unique point of vie having been in politics for so long, what do

you make of the progressive pull to bring the democratic party so far to the left where it seems like the most popular people right now are offering free everything? >> welcome to our world. i mean we have a political process where the primaries is controlled by the base. that is true on the republican side and it is true on the democrat side. so, they're going to have to sort out what republicans used to have to sort out, do you go for someone you think is electable, john mccain or mitt romney, who wound up not being electable, or you go who the base picks. the base picked donald trump. he wound up winning. will they go to kamala harris or go with joe biden? they have the same issues we have in the past presidential cycles. the candidate i know the best is tulsi gabbard. we may not agree on issues, i don't think she will be pulled in any direction she doesn't want to go. we'll see whether or not democrats have a appetite for authenticity as they go through

the nominating process. brian: some say south carolina is in play. democrats are coming hard down there, not only win the primary when it gets there but get the general. is south carolina in play? >> not the one i live in. unless there are two south carolina has, no. it, this is tim scott, lindsey graham country. this is not kamala harris-aoc territory. steve: democrats would like it to be in play but perhaps -- >> maybe i will live long enough to see that i will have to live a long time. ainsley: my mom is from greenville where you are. she calls that god's country. >> so do i. we would love for you to come back to south carolina, ainsley. ainsley: well, i'm not going to do that right now but i come back about every weekend. but maybe one day. i love that state. i'm so proud of you and all the lawmakers there. you have done a great job and our gamecocks. steve: trey, thank you very much for joining us live.
