than it is on mount everest. ♪ never look back steve: welcome to the number one show in the united states, the 30th day of january, 2019, and the number one topic everybody is talking about, the weather. i was just looking at the wind chill map, northern plains, some spots 60 below zero. right this second it is 60 below zero with the wind chill in minnesota. ainsley: we have been expecting it for some days now. every morning i wake up and walk outside bundled. it's not that cold but it's coming. steve: it's cold in the northern plains. look at minneapolis. brian: one of the reporters totally covered up except their eyes. steve: i saw that too. steve: at the end of the show they will have that covered. brian: just the zipper on your coat is dangerous.

steve: it is. if you are living in the northern plains. good to d.a. to stay inside and watch tv. brian: hug somebody. steve: just have your faucet just dripping a little bit so your pipes don't freeze. ainsley: that's a big story. shutdown a big story. abortion bill as big story. get to all of that and what is happening down on the southern border. steve: that's right. straight to a fox news alert. white house sending migrants back to mexico. a new policy as they await asylum in the united states. policy started on friday. ainsley: that's not stopping three separate caravans from marching closer to our border. brian: numbers are tremendous. griff jenkins is alive on the ground in mexico city. speaking with some of the people. hoping to make their way to the u.s. griff, it is a reunion for you for some of these people because they were in the original caravan still hanging out. >> that's right. and that new policy is having those migrants think twice where they may try to cross. this is exclusive look inside the largest shelter in mexico city. inside a sports arena. you see two tents behind me.

here is a third. and they are just sleeping. i'm going to let steve and our cameraman be respectful but give you a look there are 2673 caravan migrants in this area. we spoke with many of them who actually began this journey when we were in honduras in january 15th. so they have been going for a few weeks. they are getting shelter, obviously. you see the blankets they have been given and mats. they have hot food and heck healthcare here in addition to the 12,000 that registered legally for temporary work visa. when it comes to new policy to remain in mexico, the migrant protection protocols as secretary nielsen calls it we talked to one guy carlos noon gross from honduras it will change where he will try to cross illegally. listen. >> the united states they have a new policy remain in mexico and it's just in tijuana. and that's part of your decision to go somewhere

else? [inaudible] >> why not tijuana? >> lots of people already there. they had a lot of problems. ugly. griff: we have seen some of the migrants who did register legally part of this. making their way towards the u.s. border. , this of course, with possibly a change of where they are going to try to cross is going to be a bigger problem for the border patrol as they prepare for these many migrants on the way to cross into the u.s. probably in the next week or so. these migrants will get up on the u.s. border. guys? steve: all right. griff jenkins live this morning in mexico city where a couple thousand people are sleeping in that tent behind him. three caravans, 12,000 people. and that is why the definition department says we still need those active duty troops on our southern border. currently 2300 serving the united states. ainsley: mexico is saying you can stay here.

we would love for you to stay here but many are deciding to continue up north. brian: looks like a crisis to me for all those people who need a place to go and a country to live. in meanwhile, it starts today it's the sprint to coming up with a deal next three weeks to avoid another shutdown president forced to do an emergency action. can 17 people with nothing in common find a way forward when it comes to building some type of border security? i am somewhat optimistic because republicans already acquiesced in a major way. the democrats said yeah, you have some good points but i'm not going to talk to you until you reopen the government. they reopened the government. now it's time to talk so i think democrats can honestly say they got what they wanted and i think republicans, if they can walk out with border security and a barrier built, they might be able to say they got what they wanted. ainsley: it we put that graphic up again. the conference committee, they convene this afternoon to either work out a deal or

face serious risk of another shutdown. now, they bring their different ideas to the take and then hopefully they can unify house and senate bill come up with some sort of a bill that they will take back to their chambers and present to their respective boyd's. if both chambers are in sync it can be sent to the president for a signature. but, nancy pelosi would have to bring it up in the house. steve: she holds all the cards. the starting points is they want $5.7 billion for a wall and security. but, what is interesting while a number of democrats are against the wall, they are willing to talk about that gray area of border security where some sort of a barrier can be called different things by each side. the republicans would call it a wall the democrats would call it a fence, which is a win for both of them. but, nonetheless, ainsley, to your point, steve scalise the house minority whip says right now a lot of the cards are in the hands of nancy pelosi who said last week

would not negotiate until they open the government. okay. government is open. time to negotiate. right? watch this. >> it's got to be a serious credible offer. her only credible offer -- not credible. only offer she put on the table was a dollar neil. it was a you ludicrous gesture she would support a dollar for border security. let's talk serious. what is your offer, if it's not 5.7 billion which is what the experts said. what is your number and are you willing to back it up. are you willing to secure the border and give our border patrol agents ice agents the tools that they need? brian: reported that about 60 democrats are supportive of some type of barrier. steny hoyer, physical barriers are part of the solution u democrat went further and said i give the president all 5.7 billion. gutierrez of illinois really disagrees with the president on everything said he would be willing to make a deal for daca on that.

so, adam schiff says the wall in itself is not a bad idea. i like the israeli model of a solid wall so effective. border patrol said we love the steel slats. democrats have said the fence we did approve. there is a lot of area here they can get something done. steve: comes down to what each sides end up calling it. a fence, a wall, a barrier. they can picture words and have a win. each side needs to win otherwise on february 15th, we are back to, you know, where we started from. ainsley: we will keep following that story. let's talk about reproductive health and the rights of women. you heard governor cuomo and what happened in new york women can carry a child all the way to the day of birth and then decide to not have that baby. down in virginia they are talking about something similar. listen to this. >> how late in the third trimester could a physician perform an abortion if he indicated it would impair

the mental health of the woman? >> so, i mean, through the third trimester. third trimester goes all the way up to 40 weeks. >> but to the end of the third trimester. >> yep. we don't have the limit in the bill. >> where it's obvious the woman is about to give birth. physical signs she is about to give birth. would that still be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was so certified? >certified? she is dilating? >> mr. chairman, that would be, you know, a decision that the doctor, the physician and the woman would make. >> i'm understanding, i'm asking if your bill allows that. >> my bill would allow that yes. steve: that is virginia delegate cathy tran i believe of fairfax. she is a democrat. she is proposing this bill that would allow abortions up until the moment of birth. the repeal act as it's called would eliminate all

existing restrictions on abortion in virginia and as have you heard right there, right up to the moment of birth. you could abort the baby. and it is a baby. it's a baby that they would have toe terminate right there. ainsley: i was reading articles about it this morning and having pictures of babies just being born. if you have ever had a baby, my gosh, it's the best experience of your life. when they hand that you child it changes your life in a major way. this is beyond -- this is so hard for me to wrap my head around. listen, i know women have complications. i lost a friend. she was diagnosed with cancer and she got pregnant and ended up losing the baby and ended up losing her life. i know there are certain circumstances. it's the best day of your life when you hold that child. and there are so many women out there that want children. i have so many people in my life that weren't able to have kids. girls in my bible study and people down south that i'm friends with that want babies so badly. there are some women out there that would love to

take these children. it's just hardtop pick because the day they put hayden in my arms is the best day. other than my salvation the day i got saved. it was the b.s. day of my life. steve: it's the law in the new york state and could be the law in the commonwealth of virginia. brian: all right now. 11 minutes after the top of the hour. what do you think of that? looks like virginia is debating do exactly what new yorkers are doing. here is jillian mele with other breaking news. jillian: get you caught up on some of the other stories we are following. we begin with this. record-breaking cold. sweeping the midwest city seeing life-threatening temperatures with wind chills as cold as 65 below. in chicago, incredible video off the river freezing over. the windy city setting fires on train tracks to fix rails separated by extreme cold. the governors of wisconsin, illinois and michigan have declared a state of emergency. venezuela's opposition leader face protest today among tuitions.

outlist. i'm talking to the activists who have severely just made our officers the enemy. they have put targets on our backs. the statistics show it we have seen 50% increase from 2013 to 2016 in officers being killed by gunfire. what was that seminole moment that changed it all 2014 when we had hands up don't shoot in ferguson. which, by the way was a completely false narrative. and they continue to beat the drum on that. and you know what? it was a please farce. don't take my word for it go ahead and look at the report that eric holder and the obama administration released from their justice department that said it was a complete myth, in the meantime we have been cast as the bad guys. we are sick and tired of it and enough is enough. steve: joe, we kind of know how are talking about. we have seen those sound bites on television. what is their agenda? ultimately what's the goal? the agenda reduce police and further drive a wedge in the

communities we love. we are throughout serving and putting our lives on the line every single day because we love our communities. they want to reduce our legitimacy, they want to drive a wedge and we are not going to let it happen. i'm asking every single police union, leader across the country speak up when people start these harmful narratives. make sure would hold them accountable. it's funny because everybody wants to increase accountability on police officers which is a good thing and we welcome it yet, when i say accountability to talking heads in the media or activists suddenly it's a four letter word and nobody wants to use it you know what? we are going to hold you accountable and call you out when you are lying on our officers and call you out when you are trying to drive a wedge between us and our community. we are not going to let it happen anymore. ainsley: you are unapologetic. you are speaking your mind and a lot of people are patting you on the back. i'm sure you got that yesterday thank you, someone needed to do this. what's been the response? >> the response has just been overwhelming and really

all i was trying to do at the hospital the other day is vocalize what every single police officer at that hospital was feeling, every single police officers on this department was feeling and every single police officer in this country has been feeling. we have been painted with targets on our backs. we are going out there because we love our communitier single day and we want it to stop. we are sick and we are tired and enough is enough. and if some of these folks got offended by what i said because i asked for accountability. you know, it's amazing how many people got offended. if the shoe fits, go ahead and wear it. brian: real quick, what do you say to people who say in the past law enforcement has been disproportionately unfair to minorities? >> you know, we have heard that narrative for quite a long time. but the statistics show and i will reference "the washington post" who keeps tracks of statistics as far as officer-involved shootings. we have had 50 million citizen contacts in this country last year and it's probably closer to

200 million because not all of them are documented when we interact with the public yet we only had 995 people that were shot and killed by law enforcement. only 47 of which which were unarmed and anybody who puts on a gun belt and vest knows that unarmed people can hurt you just as much as somebody with a weapon. and the fact of the matter is, a small minority -- just a small group of those were minorities that were shot by officers that one armed. it's just the statistics don't bear it out. the fact of the matter is we are doing a great job every single day protecting our communities and it's high time we tell the public that. steve: indeed. the public is interested in the injured officers. what's their status right now. >> from where we were the other day to where we are now is nothing short of a miracle. these five officers are so brave and we already have two that have been released from the hospital. another tomorrow. the other two are in critical condition. they are stable. but what we are asking for from the entire country is

please keep those officers and families in your thoughts and prayers and we are confident they will pull through and make it through this. steve: joe, thank you very much. ainsley: thanks, joe. donate to help families of the injured officers. the website is assist out officer.com. brian: meanwhile coming up straight ahead. ainsley: tulsi gabbard's presidential campaign is only a few days old but already running in trouble on the trail. steve: negotiating on the hill bipartisan committee starts new talks on securing the border. could something actually be done this time or, jason chaffetz, we ask him is the government going to close again the day after valentine's day? ♪ ♪ i know that every single time that i suit up,

we have five or six inches of snow on the ground here in the twin cities metro. similar story across most of the midwest. waking up to minus 27 which is the coldest actual air temperature in the twin city 1996. not just the actual air temperature that's the issue. it's the dangerous wind chills of 40 to 65 below zero. coldest wind chill in the metro at minus 57. coldest since the late 1970s. it's certainly something we haven't seen in quite some time. to put this into perspective. it's actually cold enough for the usps to actually not deliver mail. they have cancelled mail service in the state of minnesota. much of wisconsin, iowa and western illinois as this cold snap rolls southward. more than 60 million people in the you were midwest and great lakes are affected with subzero temperatures. and unfortunately as the sunrises, it's not going to get a whole lot better with an expected high here, a

high temperature of minus 17. there is some folks in the south that have never seen minus 17 and we're only going to get to a high. meanwhile the north and south pole warmer than the state of minnesota right now. in fact a temperature a at a couple of the observations in ant ar antarctica minus 12. here is the good news as this whole thing progresses today is the worst of it tomorrow we start to improve and by saturday we may actually see 40 degrees in minneapolis and, of course, that's above zero. now, to give. ainsley: no way. >> look at t-shirt was wet and you could fold it. not so foldable anymore. rock solid in about 90 seconds. steve: unbelievable. cody matz. thank you very much for the live report. please go back inside the building. brian: he doesn't seemed bothered by it. steve: is he a tough guy. is he from minnesota. hello.

steve: right. >> the president has been on the right side of this issue. a lot of democrats actually want to go to this place. we are really down to semantics. what they have to do is make sure. it's already been authorized. in congress you have to authorize things and then you have to appropriate money. we are in the appropriation phase. it's already been authorized. you just have to appropriate it what the democrats and nancy pelosi wants to do is add a striking or limitation amendment that doesn't allow the president to flexibility to use that money to build a physical barrier. as long as they don't get that language in there and they plus up the money to actually get then they can actually do it. ainsley: how long will it take? we are three weeks away from a possible shutdown. >> six months late from doing it already. they can do this as swiftly as possible. they can take their sweet old time. congress usually gravitates to deadlines. but a pivotal point will be ties with a state of the union. and then the funding by the 15th. i mean, hopefully you get it done before that. steve: something else we wanted to ask you about is apparently so help me god is going to be taken from the

oath of a very important so help you god is going to be taken from the oath in one of the house committees. >> yeah. in the house of representatives, you have rules that overlay everybody. but then each committee has their own set of rules. and by default they just keep going from congress to congress. in the oversight committee it was do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god? that would normally roll over. natural resources committee chaired by raúl from arizona is taking out the so help you god part of this. it's a conscious decision. i think it's a negative on those. what you are trying to do is put pressure on those wednesdays to make sure they understand the gravity of it and also if you lie to congress there is consequences. for him to take out. it's the in the toe of our nation. it's right there when did you go on the floor of the house it says that. brian: havhave you ever heard anybody speak up and said they were a little ochingsded by the oath they

have to take. >take. >> never heard anybody have any issue with it. this is somebody's personal prerogative and the democrats deciding that they don't like god and they want it out of the. brian: do you like that. >> it shouldn't. these are the types of things that sneak in there hoping nobody is paying attention. i think the country is paying attention and i'm glad it's getting attention it's fundamental. ainsley: thank you. brian: see you on radio a little bit later. steve: meanwhile al gore praised the texas town when they switched to 100 percent renewable energy wind and solar back in 2012. >> our duty is to provide them with the lowest possible utility costs. >> and money talks. steve: now that town is paying a big price. the inconvenient truth but the cost of green energy coming up next. brian: plus, all bets are on. first super bowl with legalized sports gambling. what you need to know before making your wager. that story coming up, depending on the city you

the two of you are just rabid environmentalists? >> well, not exactly. we are conservative republican. but, you know, our duty to our rate pairs is to provide them with the lowest possible utility cost. >> and money talks. steve: well, al, you are absolutely right. money talks to the tune of nearly $30 million a year which is what the city of georgetown lost when they realized they could not rely on wind for power. that's more than $1,200 per household over four years. chuck devore is vice president of public policy foundation joins us now from austin. the idea was oh we got a lot of sun here, we have a little wind. we will be completely sustainable. but then, suddenly energy got cheap in this country and now the people of georgetown, texas are on the hook and they have to pay a lot more than everybody else in texas. >> that's right. steve, let's look at two things.

first of all the reason why you know about georgetown and we are even talking about them is that the republican mayor his political decision to go 100 percent renewable attracted the attention of bernie sanders and al gore and the green movement. he has been on television all over the world. here's a huge problem. they are not 100 percent renumber. they are connected to the houston grid. on any given day getting power from coal, natural gas and even nuclear power. if they had their own grid they would have days they would have blackout because the wind doesn't blow every day. that's problem number one. it's based on a fallacy. they are not 100 percent renumber. reunusual. problem number two he said to rate pairs the people of georgetown it's going to be cheaper. it ended up it was more expensive. about $300 per household per year in additional costs. so you have got two strikes there with the mayor of georgetown and the city. steve: if i'm a resident of

georgetown, texas, chuck, here's what i'm saying how do we get out of this deal? where is the exit ramp from this thing? >> well, they are trying to renegotiate these 2025-year contracts but, of course, that isn't going to come cheap either: i think the main thing is we have to understand that fossil fuels, traditional fuels, natural gas, coal, nuclear power, they are reliable and they are affordable. and when you have elected officials making decisions and posturing politically trying to get credit for those decisions, then it causes them to make bad decisions and the people pay for it. steve: i think that is absolutely right. the people of georgetown would like to have some cheaper juice, no doubt about it. chuck devore, we thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you. steve: great city from austin, texas. what do you think about that? email us at friends@foxnews.com. group of mothers holding a state of the union after president trump's was postponed. >> we feel like the conservative female voice

president trump has 4. beto. cory booker at 1% right now. brian: probably end up with 25 or 30 people in there. i saw joe biden yesterday on radio said he is in no rush to declare. beto o'rourke is still on that so-called listening tour and looks like bernie sanders could make it official as early as this week. yesterday was the day in which the adult entered the room, i believe, on the democratic side. even though likely independent run, we know he is a democrat. he says he is a democrat. between him and mike bloomberg. they shot down the new green deal. they shot down medicare for all. and they also talked about how how unamerican it is to want to tax billionaires as much as aoc does. steve: unfortunately for mr. bloomberg and mr. schultz, there are a lot of democrats who support the green initiative that aoc have commented on. meanwhile to your point,

brian, howard schultz, the man who got us to pay 5 bucks for a cup of coffee brilliant businessman, he was on with theview yesterday. they don't like the fact that if he were to run as an independent, he could siphon off democrats and get donald trump elected. listen to the attacks yesterday from the ladies on "the view." >> you have been a lifelong democrat. >> yes. >> are you sure that your policies are not strong enough? >> main thing, said it yesterday that scares me. >> yes. >> your entry into this race will guarantee trump another four years. >> i don't agree with you. >> i know you don't. >> if he runs against a far left progressive person, who is suggesting 60%, 70% tax increases on the rich and a healthcare system we can't pay for. >> i don't know about that. >> president trump is going to get reelected. brian: is he making 100 percent since. these are the old elections we used to have. subtle differences between parties. not people that are

presenting programs that are unmanageable and sustainable and not practical. that's what bloomberg was saying yesterday. is he a lefty. and that's what schultz is saying yesterday. i feel like if they are going to run stay that way. don't run in the primary different than how you will governor. ainsley: maybe there needs to be three parties. a lot of people do like alexandria ocasio-cortez and those extreme, extreme ideas but most democrats, especially the older democrats are probably more in line with him. steve: you know what? , ainsley, bloomberg has been in three parties, a righty, a lefty, an independent. who knows who he is. he is just rich. brian: self-made success stories and understand america's promise and potential and actually want to spread that opportunity rather than just blow up our whole system. ainsley: you mentioned bloomberg. the governor of the state of new york. you heard what he said this woke governor cuomo was talking about reproductive rights for women. he said he passed the bill.

that? >> my bill would allow that yes. steve: the bill would allow it. ainsley: she even had a hard time answering the question. brian: she didn't want to. steve: what she admitted was you can abort a baby as you are dilating flight at the time of birth. ainsley: she wined when he wince said that. steve: attorney general are ready to sign on board. we asked you what you thought. we got a whole bunch of comments. brian: sarah says this. it's out of control. this is truly murder at this point in the pregnancy. ainsley: keith said it's mortifying that people consider a wall immoral when they want to terminate a child who is able to cry. steve: timmy on facebook says these folks have no heart. it's a disgrace. brian: new york did it, virginia is trying to get it done and other states are in their wake. i also heard this is so ironic. they also said studies that show with the advent of the sonogram and the 3-d images that more and more in the next generation coming up now are less likely to go

for abortion because they see how real the child is. steve: in this bill, cathy tran's bill down in virginia it eliminates the sonogram. ainsley: eliminates the sonogram. in virginia you can have an abortion in the third try mess stefer if your doctor and two additional doctors approve it because maybe it would affect the woman's health. certain situations, whatever. but they are able to get abortions the third pry messster down there. steve: it's just very hard. ainsley: eliminate the doctors. anyone can do it. doesn't matter if the doctors approve or not. steve: email friends@foxnews.com. 7:11 in new york city and jillian joins us. jillian: let's start off with this weather that some people are dealing with right now and talking about record breaking cold impacting millions across the midwest. this is new video overnight of the life threatening cold in chicago. in this shot you can see the river freezing over. the governors of wisconsin, illinois, and michigan have declared a state of

gets ready to meet for the first time at 1:30 this afternoon. moments ago, president trump weighing in tweeting: if the committee of republicans and democrats now meeting on border security is not discussing or contemplating a wall or physical barrier, they are wasting their time. joining us now on capitol hill is kevin mccarthy. mr. leader, it's clear that the president, who has got to sign this thing, if there is not a wall or physical barrier, they are wasting their time true in all the meetings prior to this president put up four different options the speaker nancy pelosi and schumer would always say i cannot discuss anything until you open up the government. if you open up the government, we will discuss about border security. and that meant the wall and barrier it's really going to be on the democrats though made this promise today at 1:30 when they walk into the that room if they have the

same language that is wrong. this san opportunity to solve this problem. to listen to what the experts have said where the speaker pelosi would not listen to the experts and let's solve this problem and make sure we are safe and secure along our border. steve: that would be great there is a gray area it comes down to semantics. you might call it a wall. you might call it a border fence. for a democrat who is trying to figure a way to say okay. let's just not have another one of these government shutdowns, it's a metal thing that stands between mexico and the united states and it's 18 feet tall but i'm not going to call it a wall or a fence. >> i'm looking for safety and security over semantics. i don't care what they call it but it has to be a babier. it has to protect. i'm an individual that comes from california. so i know the difference when we were able to put the wall down along san diego, it saved us more than 95%. same thing with huma. same thing, el paso became the safest major city in america. it's able to work and we know it and that's what the experts say.

steve: congressman mccarthy, as you look at the slate of democrats on the other side. who do you think is most likely to be receptive to what the president is suggesting? >> you know, i'm not sure when i look across but i don't know who they are going to take their orders from, if they are in there, they are all part of the appropriations committee. this is an appropriation bill. this is supposed to be a conference the way government works. i will be open-minded right now. let them have all an opportunity to walk. in but they have got find a solution at the end of the day. and all those people in there have voted for the wall before in appropriations. the real question is will they give enough resources to make our border secure. remember what we are talking about one tenth of 1% of our entire budget. steve: absolutely. it's a drop in the proverbial congressional budget it all depends on whether or not they are think going i vote for this i will give donald trump a win and they don't want to do that. >> take politics out of it. steve: mr. leader, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: good luck today. meanwhile, it's been more

we were talking during the commercial break up until 5 years old the mom has such influence of course for the lifetime ages 1 through 5. 70% is already established during those years. it is such an important role. and i was -- i know you told our producers you said they can fight. they can't get along in d.c. and they can bicker but we have to get our families together. we have to play an important role in our kid's lives. and you paid the ultimate sacrifice. your son died fighting for this country. the direction of this country is changing. how do you wrap your head around it. >> ainsley, that is why i do what i do. i can't tolerate. i have this phrase i say all the times. i can't september the changes i can't change it's to change the things i can't accept. i cannot accept these laws being passed in states like new york and now virginia does this. it's just like this domino effect of how radical, how far out can would he be? how much can we funneled mondayy

your office. so you can essentially get to work in the morning without taking a single step outside. now, here it is, this is in minneapolis convention center. and people have been going through it throughout the morning. it opens nice and early at 6:00 a.m. and then here we are. i also want to show you one more thing. this is frozen chicago river. you can see how brutal it is out there. you know, the u.s. postal service has suspended mail delivery today in 8 different states. there are many school districts, thousands of schools around the region that have shutdown. thousands of flights have been cancelled or delayed. it is very, very cold out there, extremely dangerous. however, the national weather service for this region says on saturday it's supposed to be in the 30's, so there is some consolation back there if you at this point in time back to you. steve: crazy when 30's sound wrong. thank you very much for giving us a tour of the

skyway. ainsley: thanks, ray. steve: remember when we were at the convention in minneapolis we took those everywhere. brian: i don't know it was nine miles. steve: i bet it gets a lot of use today. all right. meanwhile, speaking of the extreme weather janice joins us right now with one person because it's not that cold here. where from you. >> liz harris from chandler, arizona. janice: what are you doing here in frigid new york? >> i'm not sure. it's cold. janice: no wonder you moved to arizona. >> i'm originally from this area and i went to arizona because of the weather. janice: i don't blame you girlfriend. take a look at the maps. not as cold as the midwest where our friend ray was but holy moly we are going to flirt with all time record lows. already the seventh coldest in chicago right now. the soldest was minus 27 in 1985. that's why we are saying the coldest weather in decades. current conditions. you have the air temperature international falls of minus 34. feels like minus 54 in

on law enforcement. last year the numbers were way too high with fatalities, as well as shootings. just seems to be a fundamental disrespect towards law enforcement. and he has had it. but he says in houston they have a great relationship with their community and that's where he was speaking. ainsley: so many people have had it up to here, too. everywhere you go in new york when we thank our police officers i can't believe the rhetoric now and they don't feel like they are appreciated. they take off their uniforms. they don't feel as loved as they used to and things do need to change. steve: it was a terrible shooting yesterday. two of the officers are still in critical condition. if you would like to contribute, the website is assist the officer.com. brian: meanwhile, jillian mele needs to assistance when it comes to the news. jillian: good morning. this story doesn't sit well with a lot of people no motive that's the final verdict from the fbi more than a year after the las vegas massacre. the feds say the shooter steven paddock wanted

house server. investigative reporter luke rosiak has been working on this the past two years and pulling back the curtain on capitol hill brand new book called "obstruction of justice how the deep state risk national security to protect the democrats." okay. who is this guy and guys? >> this is the true story of foreign meddling and collusion and doesn't have to do with russia. this is a pakistani guy hired by democrats and he hacked congress. right at the same time that whole russia and wikileaks thing is starting. the democrats decide to cover it up. nancy pelosi really just becomes this operator. and this book goes into great detail. it's interesting how pelosi the other day suggested remarkably that donald trump is being blackmailed by vladimir putin. that's quite a thing to say right that a president is being blackmailed with no evidence. this book, i think, really would convince anyone who is reading it that nancy pelosi and democrats very well may be currently being blackmailed by these pakistani guys that have access to all their data. brian: a pack stainy

congressional how did he get to debbie wasserman schultz's staff. >> however he first got into congress he eventually got control of all the emails and files of the fifth of members of congress. brian: one out of every five democratic member of congress? >> absolutely. the worst part for me is this started as a story about this guy. by the end of it was a story about nancy pelosi basically manipulating the levers of power rigging an investigation at the fbi and doj to conceal. this. brian: what were they trying to hide? >> the specter of blackmail is still looms in the air and the other thing is just controlling the russian narrative. it's just amazing how nancy pelosi was actually -- actually this was discovered originally by the house inspector general originally appointed by nancy pelosi. when this investigator brings this to light nancy pelosi turns on her own investigator and one of her operatives frames this woman on ethics charges and drives her out of government. i began investigating this case and really no one knows about it because of this massive campaign of

manipulation. brian: here's the problem. they are the minority u where was the majority. where was john boehner and paul ryan? >> paul ryan, they were running circles arranged these guys. democrats are so good at what they do and republicans can't keep up. nancy pelosi was doing. this can you imagine what she is going to do now that she is in the majority. brian: what do you think he knows that they didn't want out potentially? so they were able to get into their computers of 40 democratic congressman unsuspectingly, debbie wasserman schultz brought them in and he would service their computers. >> he had access to everything that was on the computers. he had ties to foreign governments. it's frightening stuff. i'm out there following the clues and running around d.c. and picking through people's trash cans at 3:00 in the morning pieces through clues. shredded financial documents soaking in the juice at the bottom of a trash can. putting it together like the most disgusting puzzle you ever saw. doing old fashioned government accountability work that everyone else is off russia, russia, russia.

had roots in white nationalism. racism, nativism and i reject that there is white nationalist about the pledge of allegiance. there is no reference to race, to gender toeth nist city. it's all inclusive. that's why school children around the country, thousands of them recite it every day because it includes everybody who lives in this country. steve: when he just summarily decided we are not going to do it anymore you decided at the last public meeting during the public comments you were going to recite the pledge obviously to get under his -- to bother him, i would imagine. i'm shocked at the number of people in the audience who were hooting you down. i was too. they were there for another issue. i just happened to come into it and it incited them for some reason. this is the pledge of

allegiance. i'm the daughter of a world war ii combat veteran. my dad and so many other servicemen and women have gone into harm's way for the ideals expressed in the pledge of allegiance. i have a right to stand up and speak for those ideals on behalf of people who have sacrificed everything for this country. steve: well, is h celeste, after your demonstration last week they have decided effective immediately reinstate it i guess you got what you wanted. >> i did. and i plan on valentine's day to go to the next board meeting and i'm going to stand there and recite the pledge with them. >> i am thrilled. so many people watching right now are on your side. we're delighted you were able to stop by and tell your story. celeste barber out in santa barbara, california, thank you so much. >> thank you, sir.

house and we'll get something accomplished. steve: in a blender something is smooth. there is nothing smooth what is happening in washington. in fact we have kevin mccarthy, house majority leader, semantics, i don't care what you call it. >> it will be on the democrats, that made the promise. today at 1:30 when they walk into the room, if they have the same language that is wrong. this is the opportunity to solve the problem, listen to what exert -- experts said where speaker pelosi would not listen to the experts. i don't care what they call it. it has to be barrier, it has to protect. brian: so many people on the record they're against a solid wall. they're not against fence or slats. it is already there. israeli model. solid wall, very effective. president and benjamin netanyahu very close. he goes to the borders. he hears to other people, other

parties, i will compromise, i will go slats, enhanced fence. look what dan crenshaw just tweeted out. this is dan crenshaw, the congressman from texas, who just talked to border patrol agents. they said this to him, when you try to cross the border there is a 20-mile foot, steel slated barrier, is inhibits your ability to cross. a sensor tells border agent, then they come find you. the wall stops you there, the sensor picks you out, you have to hop in the car to track them down. a lot easier to have both. steve: why the president laid down the market. it has to have a barrier. we'll keep you posted. the meeting today, weather caravan, shutdown with, we covered topics but biggest topic we get from you is this. you know what happened in new york. governor cuomo, signed a legislation that women can have

a abortion up until the day they're supposed to deliver, they can have abortion. they are cheering that in new york. blew many people's minds. it is spreading. now virginia is talking about it. listen to this. >> how late in the third trimester could a physician perform an abortion if he indicated it would impair the mental health of the woman? >> so i mean, through the third trimester, third trimester goes you will to 40 weeks. >> but to the end of the third trimester. i don't think we have limit in the bill. >> where it is obvious a woman about to give birth, physical signs she has about to give birth, would that be a point she could request an abortion if she was so certified? she is dilating. >> mr. chairman, that would be a, you know, a decision that the doctor, the physician, and the woman -- >> i understand that, i'm asking if your bill allows that? >> my bill would allow that,

yes. steve: the woman can be dial lating, on the table, yet under the bill proposed by kathy tran, a democrat from virginia you could abort the baby right then. i know for decades there has been an argument when does life begin exactly. regarding abortion. but if you are having the baby that day? that life started long before you wound up in -- brian: not up for debate. steve: it is. brian: it shouldn't be but that is, meanwhile emails are coming. here's one. this from a viewer. says i can't understand two things. why is murder of pregnant woman, why is it considered double homicide but baby in the womb has no rights? why is putting inmate to death inhumane but murdering a baby is not? i'm embarassed to live in virginia. ainsley: kathy says i'm pro-choice but there is point in

the pregnancy, when the choice becomes a murder. steve: no better than criminals on the street. that is murder. ainsley: i wonder if this lawmaker has children. when they hand you that baby in the emergency room, it is the greatest experience. and to take a child peace life right before they're born, when they have feelings, when they can cry, when they can be in pain, they can feel pain, it is so egregious to even imagine that, so many women want opportunity to have the gift of being a mother? so many women can't. i have friends, girl in my bible study, friends down south wanted kid so badly, they would love to have the opportunity. these moms, blows my mind how a mom could do that. it is heartbreaking, the day they put hayden in the arms, that and day i got saved were the two best days of my life. steve: it is law in new york state.

presentation. thanks, senator casey. great to see you. >> thanks very much. brian: so cold in chicago rail crews have to set fire to train tracks. the latest on one of the coldest spells i can ever remember and i remember a lot. factory-trained technicians. or it isn't. it's backed by an unlimited mileage warranty, or it isn't. for those who never settle, it's either mercedes-benz certified pre-owned, or it isn't. the mercedes-benz certified pre-owned sales event. now through february 28th. only at your authorized mercedes-benz dealer. my dbut now, i take used tometamucil every day.sh it traps and removes the waste that weighs me down, so i feel lighter. try metamucil, and begin to feel what lighter feels like.

steve: fox news alert. it is cold. it is so cold, it is extreme life-threatening cold throughout the northern plains and portions of the great lake states. currently windchill values dropping below 65 degrees below zero. that is the windchill. almost 2,000 flights have already been canceled across the country. look at this incredible video out of chicago as the river there, you can see frozen over in some spots. meanwhile technicians for the rail lines setting fires on the train tracks to warm up the

rails that have been frozen together by the cold. they're doing that all over the town. meanwhile the governors of wisconsin, illinois, michigan have declared a state of emergency. many schools across those states have also been closed. keep it right here on fox. we will keep you up to date on the state of emergency of winter 2019. ainsley. ainsley: thank you. a state of emergency is declared now no washington state as the measles outbreak is spreading there. of the 37 confirmed cases, at least 32 are among people who weren't vaccinated, most of them children. washington is currently one of 17 states does allow parents to opt out of vaccinating their children. our next guest grew up as an anti-vaxer are in the anti-va x-ing community. she changed her mind after going to nursing school. she has given thousands of vaccinations to children. she is encouraging parents to

give vaccinations to their children. danny stringer is with us. thanks for being with us. >> thank you for having me. ainsley: why do you encourage parents to get their kids vaccinated. >> i grew up in anti-vaccination community. i went to nursing school fearful to vaccines. i even told my professor, i want to do my thesis on idea vaccines are not safe. she was really smart. she said, you should go look into that. you're right. i was looking into the science behind vaccines i learned unequivocally vaccines are both sieve and effective. so i didn't do my thesis on that topic obviously. ever since then i've been a strong advocate for parents to protect their children by vaccinating them. >> how dangerous is the measles? is it really contageous? >> yeah. measles is the most contageous disease known to man. that is why so many of us that work with children are highly concerned by the outbreak we're

seeing in washington. in fact 90% of people that come into contact with someone that has the measles, that are not vaccinated will contract the disease. so it is extremely contagious and extremely preventable with mmr vaccine. ainsley: what do you say to parents who are totally against vaccinating kids? >> i, you know, i have a lot of compassion for parents have that been misinformed and misguided by fears but we cannot allow our fear of a vaccine to control our decisions. it is too important. you have to protect your children. you have to learn the science. you have to have open conversations with your health care provider. learn the truth. the truth is actually quite simple. vaccines save lives and fear and endangers them. ainsley: there was a time, i don't know if this is changed, i'm curious to hear your thoughts when so many parents decided not to vaccinate because they thought it might be linked with autism. several celebrities were writing books about it, saying that the vaccines were to blame.

are you still seeing increased number parents deciding not to vaccine or has the number gone down? >> unfortunately some people still believe that. overall it is a very small portion of the population that has just been misguided. it is completely inaccurate. so you know, we're making progress. i think it is really important to realize that we eliminated the measles in 2000. ainsley: right. >> yeah. it was completely eliminated. as of last year we still had 17 outbreaks across the country. 349 people unnecessarily had the measles as a result of it. it is a very small portion of our population but it is so important to vaccinate so we can prevent this unnecessary suffering. ainsley: thank you so much, dani. >> thank you. ainsley: you're welcome. washington state has several new gun laws on the books but many sheriffs are refusing to enforce some of then. one of those sheriffs will join us live. plus you're looking live at lake michigan. it is freezing over this morning

why? >> well, for a couple of reasons. one it is very unclear law that has passed but, under washington state law it violates the washington constitution, i should say, 1639, violates that. and it violates the u.s. constitution. and as a constitutional sheriff, i have taken an oath to uphold both the washington state constitution and the united states constitution and i believe very strongly that this law violates the constitution. there is a method that they could have went through to get an amendment to our constitution, which would, then they would have to get 2/3 of the house. both houses and to get that passed. steve: okay. >> they did not do that. they run it out on initiative. steve: look at the new washington gun laws. it says under 21 years of age you are prohibited from purchase of a assault rifles.

dealers must wait 10 days before delivering sold assault rifles. imposes criminal penalties for unsafe gun storage. more extensive background checks for assault weapon purchases. three of those mention assault weapon or assault rifles. what is an assault rifle or assault weapon? i know that is up for debate. >> 1639 which they're completely way out of whack on this, under 1639 they're claiming any semiautomatic rifle is an assault rifle which includes a 1022 that has a detachable clip. steve: okay. >> it is ridiculous. and the fact that you have to be 21 rather than 18 to purchase one, in my opinion is wrong and it violates the law. for example, let's take, we send our men and women over to iraq organ fan to fight wars at 18,

19, 20 years old. and they come back from battle and under 1639 they can't even buy a hunting rifle that is semiautomatic. and so, i think thawing taking this way too far. i can tell you 48 years as a law enforcement officer, this law, 1639 will not do one iota of making our county citizens safer. bad guys will have guns regardless. steve: sheriff, i'm sure the, i haven't spoken to the lawmakers out in washington state. i'm sure they would say the intent is to try to keep guns out of the hands of bad guys. ultimately trying to keep your people in your state safer but is there an agenda beyond that? >> oh, yes. there is no question in my mind. the far left with their anti-gun

rhetoric, what they would like to see is, where the citizens of washington state would not own a gun at all. steve: why is that? >> well, they believe that will solve all the problems of assaults with a deadly weapon, any of that. but i can tell you that, that there's a problem, not only with buying it under age or what they claim now is under age if you're under 21 years old, but they also, got all kinds of problems with it. storage of the weapon in your home. steve: right. >> if you violate 1639, homeowner, gun owner can be charged with a gross misdemeanor or a felony. and it is just too much government in your home. it is just wrong. steve: i understand your feelings and frustration. so how are you not going to enforce it, sheriff?

>> well, i'm not -- if i get a complaint of a violation of 1639, i indicated to my deputies that they are to forward that directly to me. and i do not plan on arresting good citizens that have bought firearms legally, now would be in violation. i am not going to arrest them or, what i consider a violation of their constitutional rights. and plain and simple. i realize that ultimately the court has to make that decision, whether this initiative is constitutional or not, but in the meantime i have that discretion as an elected sheriff of this state, of this county. so having said that, i don't plan on enforcing it. and i give you an example. the far left says, well the sheriff has to follow that rule of law. that is true. i didn't vote for the marijuana law in this state.

i don't like the marijuana law in this state but i enforce it. but the marijuana law doesn't violate the individual's constitutional rights. 1639 does. it goes into the right to defend yourself. washington, by the way, washington constitution is much clearer. they say the individual right to possess a firearm shall not be impaired. and this law does that. steve: tell you what, it is, you are crystal clear about how you're going to not enforce the law there in your county. sheriff, thank you very much for getting up so early out there in the west coast. >> let me give you one quick point. i will make it quick. steve: all right. >> seattle they have a shooting gallery for people that want to shoot there, they are supervised when they come in there. they have chosen not to arrest anybody that is bringing heroin or anyone into this clinic. that is double standard as well. so, they don't talk much about

that. steve: you're absolutely right. sheriff, great last point. thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you. steve: you bet. all right, it is 12 minutes before the top of the hour. super bowl four days, are you ready? we're going to show you how, coming up next. first let's check in with sandra smith. see a little blood when you brush or floss? you may have gum disease and could be on a journey to much worse. try parodontax toothpaste. it's three times more effective at removing plaque, the main cause of bleeding gums. leave bleeding gums behind with parodontax toothpaste.
