divide is still very apparent between democrats and republicans. i have great hope that we can heal and above forward. time will tell. jillian: a lot of people proud of the president and liked what he had to say. rob: half the crowd anyway. jillian: half the crowd. we will see what the rest have to say today. have a good morning. ♪ ♪ how do you like me now ♪ how do you like me now ♪ how do you like me now? steve: live from new york city, this is the state of the union post game show for 2019. how do you like him now? well, the ladies, the freshman class of the democratic party seemed to like the president last night. a lot. they gave him a standing ovation. ainsley: hoovation.ains several. steve: how many women were were in the workforce and how many were elected. brian: all wearing white. i guess 100 years since the right to vote 1919 to 2019.

easy to recognize. and they were all pumped up. because when the president was talking about jobs and women, they got jobs because they won a lot of elections, too. ainsley: the president right out of the gate talked about unity and bringing our country together. not about democrats and republicans. it's victory for the united states of america. if you missed any of it here is a montage and we will continue to go through different topics he talked about. watch this. >> the agenda lay out this evening is not a republican agenda or a democrat agenda. it's the agenda of the american people. we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution. victory is not winning for our party. victory is winning for our country. [applause] we have unleashed a revelation in american energy. i'm asking you to defend our very dangerous southern border out of love and

devotion to our fellow citizens. the proper wall never got built. i will get it built. [cheers and applause] the next major priority for me and for all of us should be to lower the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs and to protect patients with pre-existing conditions. [cheers and applause] >> chairman kim and i will meet on february 27th and 28th in vietnam. our military is the most powerful on earth by far. members of congress, the state of our union is strong. [cheers and applause] [chanting u.s.a.] brian: that catchphrase was not said in the beginning. it was said kind of in the

middle in the first third when he said the state of the union is strong because he thinks everybody was expecting that but, over all, the president, i thought, was great. i thought he was, i guess the third longest state of the union in history. but, overall, you can't imagine a more comfortable situation where he knows millions are watching around the country and around the world. and was hard not to applaud on maybe two thirds of that speech if you are an american. steve: here's the thing though. i think he went into that state of the union last night and i think he was a little apprehensive. nancy pelosi uninvited him to this thing a couple of weeks ago. and there he was, she had a tough time applauding for a lot of the things he said. brian: nice of her to read along. she seemed a little awkward. did you notice though, you know, he walked in and it is the custom for her to introduce him and he just started -- he jumped the ball, essentially. but, he made it very clear

what his argument for a re-election is going to be, a strong economy, strong defense and, of course, a secure border. and he said regarding the wall or the fence. he said i will get it done. but he did not call for a wall and he did not throw down an ultimatum to the democrats. they are probably not going to give him $5.7 billion. he is holding off on calling an emergency declaration. conference committee is going to do. they will meet later on today. nonetheless, he made the case why we need a super strong border and, in fact, he cited some things in the news yesterday. ainsley: he got to immigration fairly quickly, close to the want to speech. he talked about unity. he honored the world war ii veterans. he talked about jobs, the economy. i thought that was smart because that's one of his -- the best thing he has done over the last two years. talked about women, african-american jobs. unemployment is down. lower than ever. and then he talked about the investigations and legislation if we want peace

and legislation, we can't have war and investigations. he honored a few people and then he got to immigration and the wall. listen to this. >> this is a moral issue. the lawless state of our southern border is a threat to the safety, security, and financial well-being of all america. wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders, while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards. [applause] working class americans are left to pay the price for mass illegal immigration. tolerance for illegal immigration is not compassionate. it is actually very cruel. now is the time for congress to show the world that america is committed to ending illegal immigration and putting the ruthless

coyotes, cartels, drug dealers, and human traffickers out of business. [cheers and applause] brian: tough say okay do we want human trafficking? no. do we want illegal drugs coming across the border? no. where they differ on how to stop it and you might argue that democrats aren't really being sincere in saying the way they want to stop it or is it more about stopping the president. i thought overall i think if you look at how the president delivered the speech, i didn't really feel at any moment i was actually hearing a speech. i think i was hearing -- i was hearing an agenda, a progression of what's happened over the last two years. steve: a status report. brian: what happened in our past but not a laundry list where you think okay, did he that, he did that, he did this. i felt like there was a story being told there. steve: do you know what? , i read some of the professional speech writers who said it was a very well

crafted speech and steven miller had a lot to do with it and we heard the president had his sharpy out and worked on it at mar-a-lago as well. aside from the speech, which the president handed a copy to nancy pelosi and apparently it was on like poster board or something like that. she kept going through trying to figure out okay, how close with reto the end of this? a couple of times. she was standing up for an applause and she kept standing. ainsley: a lot of meals saying she was readings the game of thrones script and reading about bund. brian: they started booing and she settle down to her caucus. ainsley: did you notice when all the women stood up few times and the president said hold on you might not wanting to sit down because you will like this next statistic all the women in white. she had to follow their lea lead: steve: gary conley democrat from virginia, to your point said the president came

dangerously close to getting booed by democrats when he said there cannot be peace and legislation while there are war and investigations which is what ainsley mentioned a moment ago. there you see all the women wearing the white for suffrage. some referred to it as but nonetheless, it was fun to watch the cut aways. and one of the most delicious cut aways was of bernie sanders. and i'm hoping it's in this little sound bite. the president did talk about venezuela and then he did also talk about how the united states will never be a socialist country. now, that's something everybody has got to applaud for, right? no, not really. >> here in the united states we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country. [boos] america was founded on liberty and independence, and not government coercion,

domination, and control. [applause] we are born free and we will stay free. [cheers and applause] [chanting u.s.a.] glulg tonight, we renew our resolve that america will never be a socialist country. [cheers and applause] brian: not surprising bernie sanders would not be applauding when the president is talking about capitalism and not talking in a positive way about socialism, which we watch falling apart in venezuela and which he touched on and even got everybody to cheer for on our new policy down there. when you talk about the green deal, free pre-k, free college, free medicare for all. you talk about it unsustainable, untenable series of invoices that

america can't possibly pay but is getting great traction on the left. this is what i thought he was talking a little bit about 2020 and what he was going to be saying. steve: it was all about 2020. ainsley: we saw kamala harris in the crowd and kristin gillibrand rolled his eyes talking about the economy and naming all the statistics. we did look to bernie talking about socialism. we looked to nancy pelosi i wanted to see what her expression was going to be when he said all these politicians have walls around their houses yet they don't want to build a wall. she didn't like that. steve: there is kristin gillibrand. ainsley: rolling her eyes and kind of sighing. steve: sent out a tweet later for 5 bucks. you know what? that's against the rules. ainsley: rolling eyes 5.36 million jobs created. we are just getting started. wages are growing, especially for blue collar workers, frrns, hispanic americans, asian americans all reached the lowest unemployment levels and she rolled her eyes.

steve: how can you be against unemployment in the united states? the president also to the point he had talked about immigration and some of the things that were happening on our southern border yesterday. he also was talking about what we have heard out of the states of new york and commonwealth of virginia regarding late term or day of birth abortion and you would think that that would be something to talk about protecting the unborn. you would think everybody in that room would be on the same page. and, yet, when you saw some of the wide shots, very few democrats were standing for that. watch this. here's the president on late term abortion. >> lawmakers in new york cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb moments from birth. and then we had the case of the governor of virginia where he stated he would execute a baby after birth.

i am asking congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late term abortion of children who can feel pain in a mother's womb. [cheers and applause] brian: i didn't see any democratic women in white budge on that. just stare gloomily straight ahead. ainsley: they cheered when andrew cuomo in when democrats in new york signed the legislation lit up the world trade center in pink. they cheered third term abortion. brian: amazing talking about this and this is racking to the virginia governor. remember, before the latest virginia governor controversy there was another one and that was the statements on radio and follow-up clarification, which in my estimation made things worse. ainsley: that you can kill a baby after a baby is born. brian: what i thought was really special and great speech writing and craftsmanship is the way you look back and notify the anniversary of the world war ii invasion and anniversary of landing on the moon and importance of childhood cancer and fighting it think about it, you don't have a

advocate representing new congress to push for an attack on this. i believe he wants $500 million to start attacking it and he gave you a great example. here's a series on the tributes that consisted, that took place last night in his hour and 21-minute speech. >> on d-day june 6th, 1944, 15,000 young american men jumped from the sky and 60,000 more stormed in from the sea. here with us tonight are three of those incredible heroes. just three weeks ago debra's parents gerald and sahara were burglarized and shot to death in their reno, nevada home by illegal alien. >> last year grace was diagnosed with brain cancer. she rallied her community and raised more than

$40,000. buzbuzz aldrin. [cheers and applause] alice, please. [applause] >> he narrowly survived the nazi concentration camps. today is judah's 81st birthday. [ ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ happy birthday dear judah. steve: that was great. ainsley: he stood up and said thank you. steve: 10-year-old cancer survivor grace eline who the president was alluding to will be with us about six minutes from right now. meanwhile live with us tom homan, thomas homan former acting director of ice. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: the president made it clear of the wall will get

built but did he not give congress an ultimatum. >> there is an ultimatum out there. we will find out by the 15th what is he going to do. either give him the money for the wall or he declares a national emergency. that's what i would like to see. one thing he said last night which he didn't say in the oval office. he gave an example why the wall is effected. when he stalked about san diego and el paso, i was hoping he would do that during oval office meeting. democrats say the wall is ineffective. what he did last night talking about two examples, he clearly showed the american people where that wall has been built it, resulted in decreased immigration, decreased crime. steve: san diego. i believe they took a shot of kamala harris at that time, the senator from the state -- rather california. ainsley: a lot of people didn't know the statistics, he said el paso is one of the safest cities in texas or in the country now after building the wall use ited to be very dangerous. >> the wall, if you think about it, if you use san diego as an example and the caravan surged the border

and ran to the border. two things stopped that caravan from being in san diego today the existing border barrier and the men and women in green. that's exactly what this president has asked for. more border patrol agents and a barrier. it makes perfect sense. last night he made that case strong. i didn't hear anything last night i didn't. everything i was hoping to hear i heard. i thought he hit it hard. brian: talked about the caravan and drugs on southern border. democrats don't mo and they think the president is exaggerating. here he is expanding on that. >> we have a moral duty to create an immigration system that protects the lives and jobs of our citizens. year after year countless americans are murdered by criminal illegal aliens. tolerance for illegal immigration is not compassionate. it is actually very cruel. brian: he talks about the dangers when people from honduras, from el salvador

or any of those tribal countries are coming here. they are taking their lives in their own hands and statistics are overwhelming. when they get here they have been through a lot and sometimes brutal things. ainsley: one in three sexually assaulted on the way up he reminded us, women at least. >> he is great leader. one of the things that makes him a great leader he has gone down to the border and talked to the men and women that work that front line. nancy and chuck have never been down there. maybe a decade from now, president trump will be recognized as one of the greatest presidents of our generation, if not the greatest, because is he a great leader. he has done more to protect this country. he has done more in the last two years than most presidents have done in eight. you can't deny that. that's a stone cold fact. we have great president. i don't think that olive branch last night is going to work. i think they will resist, resist, resist. look how much he has gotten done even though they have resist frfd day one. they have never accepted this president. ainsley: i will never abolish our heros from ice. he introduced an ice officer

who has saved 300 women or girls from human trafficking and he talked a little bit about that and how much peoplhow manypeople he has lock. here is stacey abrams who lost out election for governor of georgia but she was chosen to give the rebuttal. here she is about immigration. >> compassionate treatment at the border is not the same as open borders. president reagan understood this. president obama understood. this americans understand. this and democrats stand ready to effectively secure our ports and borders. but we must all embrace that from agriculture to healthcare to entrepreneurship, america is made stronger by the presence of immigrants, not walls. brian: the president went out of his way to say he wants immigration. it's illegal immigration. and yet they still try to continue to blend and confuse people with that statement. >> look, i said a thousand

times. we are a nation of law us. and i can't blame any of these people that want to come to the greatest country on earth. you can't want to be part of the greatest country on earth and not respect our laws. not about law enforcement but saving lives. i have seen many people died making this journey. we saw two children die making this journey. democrats need to listen and think about the victims of illegal immigration. you said it yourself. one in three women are sexually assaulted on the way to the country. children are molest you had. and we are bank rolling the very criminal organization that smuggled drugs and killed our border patrol agents. it's got to stop. brian: i thought the speech was excellent and steve and ainsley weighed in and you heard from tom. 76% of the people watching the speech on cbs thought it was really good. 72% favored it. overall on immigration and overall each on cnn 59% approved of the speech. it was a strong night

because it wasn't note. it was multiple notes. it was tribute. it was agenda and a look back at what's been done. so i think it's really hard to have a negative view over what's taken place there. >> i really do not think it was a political speech him telling the american people the facts. the facts of what he has accomplished and the facts of border security and what it is a danger to this country. i think most american people heard him last night. i thought he did a perfect job and more people last night understand why it is so important why we secure our border. steve: a lot of people watched and weigh in today. what did you think of the speech? give us an email friends@foxnews.com or also on facebook on this wednesday morning. ainsley: okay. we just heard the president in that speech praising the 10-year-old cancer survivor. she is going to join us live to share her inspiring story. tell what her experience was at the state of the union. brian: she was composed. a huge show ahead. marsha blackburn is going to be here shortly.

because i looked up to her and to be right next to her that was pretty amazing. ainsley: grace, have you quite a story the president talked about when you were 4 years old there you are waving to the crowd. you are famous now. the president was talking about when you were 4 years old you were raising money for saint jude to help other children and then you were diagnosed with cancer. tell us about your story. >> so, basically what happened was i was just drinking a lot of water and then like my mom told my doctor, but he said that it was like nothing. and then so, at least a year later so that happened in first grade and then in second grade my growth started to slow down. and that's when my -- that's when the pediatrician got suspicious because that doesn't usually happen. so then he send us to an endocrine who thought i had diabetes. she sent us for an mri and

she didn't think that she would find a mass in my brain so then immediately after that i began chemotherapy, so i had four rounds of chemo and then i had 24 rounds of proton radiation. steve: yeah. and then the president last night told the end of your story where there at saint jude's you put up a great big poster on a very special day and what, grace, did the poster say? >> it said last day of chemo. steve: and how important was that to you and your family? >> that was very important because i feel like chemo was definitely the hard part after like all the days where everybody was sad and where i didn't feel good. so to hang that up to show that i was done with it, that made me feel really good. ainsley: that was a very, very special day. probably one of the best days of your life. but last night was pretty special, too.

what was it like when you heard the president of the united states of america say your name and introduce you to that crowd? >> it was really cool because he is the president and like for him to just talk about me, that's like pretty cool. steve: sure. >> yeah. steve: it is pretty cool. grace, had you ever seen a state of the union before on tv or anything? >> i have seen like parts of it like throughout the years i have seen a bunch of my family watch it i have only seen a few parts of it. steve: how important is it to kids like you that the president announced his initiative last night to get the congress to fund the search for the cure for childhood cancer to the tune of $500 million? >> i think it's pretty amazing that he would do that because, like it makes me feel really good that people would just take their time and try and help more people. i think that that's pretty amazing.

>> as we speak large organized caravans are on the march to the united states. we have just heard that mexican cities, in order to remove the illegal immigrants from their communities, are getting trucks and buses to bring them up to our country in areas where there is little border protection. i have ordered another 3,750 troops to our southern border to prepare for this tremendous onslaught. steve: there was the president last night. you heard him demanding tougher border security at the state of the union address. ainsley: his call for action comes as thousands of migrants are waiting just to cross over into the united

states. brian: griff jenkins must have been listening because they talked about the caravan last night and he is live on the ground in mexico at our border, the mexico cab border. something has got to give. right, griff? >> yeah, guys. good morning. you know, brian, it's not just president trump talking about the caravans. here the migrants have settled in piedras negras you see the military and army and federal state and local police still maintain ago security presence. if you look at today's newspaper here in piedras negras, you see that headline: that's not the planet that's the initials of the governor of the state of. miguel, he says he will not allow any more caravans to come. this is interesting because there are two more caravans on the way. one on the 7th starting in honduras on thursday and 16th next week. meanwhile i also had a moment to talk to the mayor here. claudio beres. he says at some point everybody has got to come together and get a solution.

listen. >> at would make it better if democrats and republicans, the u.s. government, the mexican government, the honduran government, everybody work together to put on the table something that will resolve. this that will help me much better. griff: meanwhile we watched officials inside going through with the migrants trying to register them for this one-year temporary visa. we got a surprise visit from tom sherber. he wants to find out contactually what the composite make-up of and who is in this caravan. >> every time they have like that you have a criminal element taking advantage of it in the group and trying to cross the river and then do their thing. and we are getting ready for that on the other side. griff: meanwhile migrants we covered last october and november in tijuana were tuning in to the state of the union.

no idea exactly what they thought about it one thing for sure the caravan focuses are very aware of it we know there is more coming and they are certainly reacting to the news. it's so far been a pull factor if you will or magnet for more to come. brian: wait, they were watching the state of the union? >> that's right. everyone is tuned in. once these migrants wake up we will find out whether thethey were watching as well. they have cell phones inside the shelters and charging stations for their phones. i believe there is wifi in this actual building. they are in tune with what's going on because, guys, whether how the caravans are handled determines whether or not more people will come. right now it is very favorable for them and so they're on the way. steve: exactly. that's why they were watching. all right. griff, thank you very much. somebody else who was watching rachel campos-duffy. her husband, wisconsin republican congressman sean duffy was in attendance last night and, in fact, i saw him shake hands with the president and get an embrace from the president.

so, give us a feeling, sean, for what it was like on the floor because we saw the republicans loved much of the speech and the democrats, it seemed like, had a lot of reasons not to stand up. >> i had a little bit of a brew ha there with the president as he came down the came down the aisle. i thought it was unique in kind of the american themes that the president laid out that, republicans were standing up and applauding and democrats sat down for so much of the speech which indicates, obviously, they are not supportive of what the president is saying whether you are talking about abortion or immigration or border security and so from my vantage point, i thought it was shocking and as a legislator, how do you bring your congress together to actually work on bipartisan issues when some very fundamental concepts democrats don't agree with supportive of socialism? you have got to be kidding me. they couldn't stand up for the freedom fighters in venezuela trying to fight socialism. sat down for that i thought

those were disheartening moments when you want your congress to come together but you saw how divided it was. ainsley: i know you are all catholic and eight beautiful children been on our show before. the president was talking about abortion, saying all children are made in the image of god. rachel, i want to get your reaction to this sound bite. listen to this. >> sure. >> lawmakers in new york cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb moments from birth. then, we had the case of the governor of virginia where he stated he would execute a baby after birth. i am asking congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother's womb. [cheers and applause]

ainsley: rachel, you can hear the reaction from republicans. they loved it democrats, not one of them, it looked like was cheering or even clapped. >> i was in the gallery, sean gave me his guest ticket i was up above and behind the democrats not one of them can i tell you as an eyewitness in the room not one of them stood up. have you held a newborn baby, ainsley, as have i, as have steve, listen, there is nothing more helpless than and vulnerable than a newborn baby. he was not saying anything even about abortion. he said late term abortion an infanticide and they couldn't stand up for it. it was shocking. i literally, my jaw was open but that wasn't the only -- i mean, they wouldn't stand up with all the women in white wouldn't stand up when they talked about ice rescuing women from sexual slavery. they wouldn't stand up for minority record low minority

unemployment. who cares who made it happen. it happened. and they couldn't cheer for it. it was -- i literally -- it was a little bit disappointing -- a lot disappointing for me. i left feeling exactly how sean mentioned. how can you bring the country together when you can't agree on some basic human issues like that. >> if i can join in i think there is no more noble cause than to fight for the defense lfs we have in our society which are newborn babies or babies in the womb. again, we believe in life at conception. we are talking about late term abortion that democrats are now supportive of. and, again, i agree, it was a disheartening moment. but it shows how far and extreme the democrats have gotten where they are proponents of infanticide? also disheartening too because a lot of pastors in the democrat party a lot of pastors who are people of faith who then say we're going to support these kind of issues? unbelievable. brian: sean, i just don't think they understand they

brian: president trump laying out his agenda to a divided congress last night. the president calling on members to choose greatness instead of gridlock during his second state of the union address. would his message resonate with voters the general public. lee carter is here to put the president's speech to the dial test and see what they thought in realtime. welcome, lee, great to see you again. >> great to be here. brian: almost ready for election season. the first stop you want me to make is when he addressed women in the workplace so let's listen. >> we have more women in the workforce than ever before.

brian: there you go. the grade? >> off the chart. republicans gave a plus, independents an a and democrats b minus. women were up on their feet applauding this. it was unbelievable what he did in that moment. he got everybody together and herb excited it was energizing and memorable. brian: they were saying i got the job because i'm in congress now. >> that's their response but he hit on every key point. brian: i think they chanted u.s.a. after that. brian: the president wanted the theme to be coming together. immigration it's not possible right now. he brought up the difference between legal and illegal immigration. let's watch. >> now is the time for congress to show the world that america is committed to ending illegal immigration and putting the ruthless coyotes, cartels, drug dealers, and human traffickers out of business. brian: and the grades? >> the grades can you see

republicans off the charts they gave it an a. independents a c and democrats an f. the problem here you can see they are on board until immigration policy until he goes to coyotes. issue with independence didn't make them go off the charts. immigration really strong speech for the president. brian: stacy abrams gave the retort. she didn't listen to the speech ahead of time. it's not really a rebuttal it's what he thinks. watch. >> a few weeks ago i joined volunteers to distribute meals to furloughed federal workers. they waited in line for a box of food and a sliver of hope since they hadn't received paychecks in weeks. making livelihoods of our fellow co-workers a pawn for political gain is a disgrace. the shutdown was a stunt engineered by the president of the united states. one that defied every tenet of fairness and abandoned not just our people but our values. brian: so, she was going after the president the

shutdown which was ended a week ago. the grades? >> so, democrats not surprisingly gave this an a, independents a c, republicans an f. now, what's most important for everybody to understand here as much as she is blaming the president. not everybody blames just the president. they say the democrats didn't handle this well. brian: i felt like i went back to politics for that moment and looking at a stump speech by. great night impactful flight we will discuss over the next two hours. great job. >> great to be here. brian: back with more "fox & friends" in just a moment. thanks to you, we will. aw, stop. this is why voya helps reach today's goals... all while helping you to and through retirement. um, you guys are just going for a week, right? yeah! that's right. can you help with these? oh... um, we're more of the plan, invest and protect kind of help... sorry, little paws, so. but have fun! send a postcard! voya. helping you to and through retirement.

>> tonight, we renew our resolve that america will never be a socialist country. steve: here now is the host of making money on fox business charles payne. charles, were you shocked at the number of democrats who will not applaud when the president said we will never be a socialist country. >> if i would have asked me a question a year ago i would have said yes. chuck schumer did spring to his feet. steve: eventually. >> yeah, eventually. there are people there who understanding maybe their own party is being hijacked and they want to maybe curve that you are right. there are a lot of the parts of the speech democrats

didn't get up to including yes we will never be socialist country. all the things socialists are promising you are already happening. brian: senator schumer is going to say the strong but middle class is not feeling the prosperity. is that true. >> i can't say what people are feeling but can i tell you what the numbers say. four of the last five months nonsupervisory workers wages have gone up faster than their supervisors'. wages overall are going on a spree that have not seen in well over a decade. unemployment ratio between blacks and whites is the narrowest it has ever been. there is a movement under the core of all of this that's phenomenal. steve: charles payne, thank you very much. >> you got it. ainsley: more "fox & friends" moments away. ry family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa"

[chanting u.s.a.] steve: that was one of the two times when those assembled did u.s.a. they did it there and then they did it as well after he saluted all the women who were dressed in white who were part of the new incoming freshman class. the state of the union is also a status report how things are going to far. he also tipped his hand at what his 2020 re-election plan would be. he is going to talk a lot about late term abortion. he is going to talk about north korea. he did break news. he said at the end of this month he is going to be meeting with kim jong un in vietnam and he also talked about the wall and immigration and how it is a

moral imperative. he said i will get it built as we heard a second ago. this is a moral issue and while the democrats are not going to give him $5.7 billion, he didn't issue an ultimatum. essentially he said i'm going to give the committee a chance. let's see what happens. if then who knows what happens. nonetheless, this is one of the reasons he ran and won on the presidency. and this is one of the big issues talked about last night. >> this is a moral issue the lawless state of our southern border is the threat to the safety, security, and financial wel well-being of all of america. wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards. [applause] tolerance for illegal immigration is not

compassionate. it is actually very cruel. we will always support the brave men and women of law enforcement and i pledge to you tonight that i will never abolish our heroes from ice. thank you. [applause] now is the time for congress to show the world that america is committed to ending illegal immigration and putting the ruthless coyotes, cartels, drug dealers, and human traffickers out of business. brian: what i also thought was interesting for those who want to know what's going to get done by the 15th in terms of immigration. you didn't hear about daca and tps. steve: that's not part of the latest deal. brian: when he offered to get us out of shoutdown it was in there he broke some news as you mentioned with

north korea. i just thought he might be looking for some news there because the numbers are overwhelming. i think it's in the 70s people who look as daca as a section republicans and democrats 70% plus could be on a pathway to legalization. maybe within 10 years just not their parents. i thought that would have been something. but, at the end of it, he wanted everyone to know we have two weeks either until another government shutdown or i find money on my own or we have emergency action. ainsley: i thought what was interesting too he talked about unity in the beginning of his speech and went through what he thought was immoral and what he thinks sim moral democrats thinks is moral and visa versa. if you look at the abortion issue democrats think it's okay to kill a baby at the very last second. he thinks it's immoral. democrats think it's immoral to build a wall. the president is for the wall because he says what's immoral is these women coming up to the united states that are getting raped one out of every three is getting raped. he talked about the kids. he introduce you had some different families who have been affected by illegal immigration. he talks about hernandez a

legal immigrant an ice officer. he works in sex trafficking he has saved 300 women and girls rescued them from sex trafficking. steve: the president was very effective in weaving real americans. ainsley: it didn't seem like a speech. steve: we had somebody who was called out of retirement tom homan served this president as acting ice director and he watched the president's 82-minute speech last night and he had this observation about what he saw. >> i think when all is said and done a decade from now, president trump is one of the greatest presidents of our generation, if not the greatest. because is he a great leader. he has done more to protect this country. he has done more in the last two years than most presidents have done in eight. you can't deny that. that's a stone-coiled fact. the democrats need to listen and think about the victims of illegal immigration. we are bank rolling the very criminal organization that smuggled drugs and kill our border patrol agents u it's got to stop.

brian: only thing i would add to what we're saying here not all democrats are in to late term abortion and be forced to rubber meets the road like terry mcauliff over the weekend. not all democrats think the fence is eu78 moral. ainsley: why didn't we hear them cheer last night. brian: that gives me hope. ainsley: you are right. brian: could be something done by the 15th. get this done on the 15th and go into something that's on their agenda. steve: ultimately though you can see from nancy pelosi body language she does not want to give the president a win. let's talk a little bit more about what folks saw last night. weekend "fox & friends" host pete hegseth joins us, we have center square morgan ortegas and screen right former state department official and former foreign policy advisor to president obama's campaign david tafuri it did look like nancy pelosi did not like a lot of what the president had to say last night. >> yeah, she was definitely biting her tongue there.

there were nice moments where she had to clap including also the other women who are now in congress. i thought that was really nice. i thought this was a very good speech. i thought the best moments were when the president brought in the guests. when he highlight you had the world war ii heroes at the beginning and end of the speech. that was a nice moment and appropriate for him to do it. it's hard to see how that really fits in with his agenda foreign policy. this is president anti-interventionist. a president pulling troops out of syria. steve: he doubled down on that last night. >> that's the most controversial thing is he doing. remember his secretary of defense resigned over that other notice pentagon are against that decision. this was his platform to explain why he is pulling the troops out of syria. he didn't do that the most interesting thing he did on foreign policy in my view was his talk about afghanistan why he wants to draw down troops in afghanistan and that he is trying to negotiate now with the taliban. he said that's never been done before. it actually has been done before. the question is can would he be successful when the taliban's vision for afghanistan is so different than our vision.

ainsley: pete, you have fought for our country. we have been at war almost 19 years now. it's time for families to have their boys and girls back home time for us to lee. let us play this sound bite and get your opinion. >> we have spent more than $7 trillion in fighting wars in the middle east. as a candidate for president i loudly pledged a new approach. great nations do not fight endless wars. ainsley: pete, endless wars? >> even the greatest country the world has ever seen does not have limitless resources. if you are the commander-in-chief you have to decide whether your investment there has had a return worth that investment. and ultimately you honor the sacrifice of everyone that's been there. you want the best for the people in afghanistan, iraq and syria. steve: he ran on. this he ran on it result 3459ly when you have looming threats of china and russia and north korea and iran and big picture issues that will require resources and

attention, being mired down there with more troops than is necessary is not the focus. he ran on it he is right to focus on it. brian: morgan, this isn't tax cuts. this is responding to what the conditions are on the ground. responding to conditions on the ground, he got utterly rebuked by his own party yesterday in the senate and house because they know where we have been as mitch mcconnell said to martha mccallum we have troops in germany and japan that's not an endless war. that's a presence. >> i think maybe what the president and his team could do going forward is sort of describe to the american people why he feels like we need to move away from afghanistan and syria. it's not just about endless wars. it's because when the president came, in he created a national security strategy. and in that national security strategy, he is transitioning us to focus on great power conflicts with russia and with china. and so, in doing that that's a very different mission than the counter-terrorism mission that we have been n afghanistan and syria. you have to build more ships. you have to build more

weapons. i thought two highlights he talked about why we got out of the inf treaty. that's not getting a lot of play today. russia has consistently violated that treaty. brian: russia is now in both places a presence in afghanistan. they had peace talks in moscow. unbelievably and then they have a presence in syria. we are not running away from major conflict. >> russians have a presence in both places because during the obama administration we allowed them access and they became a resurgent world power because president obama under estimated then and that's why you have seen suspect tough policies from this administration. one thing i would add, don't forget venezuela. also something. brian: huge. >> one of the most important foreign policy successes of the past two years. brian: extremely bold. >> whenever mnuchin was sworn in, he put sanctions against the vice president of venezuela and this administration for the past two years has done a systematic rebuke of the sanctions in venezuela. very important. steve: guys, one more sound bite of import last night

and here is the president talking about the fight against isis when he started, they were big. now, not so much. >> when i took office, isis controlled more than 20,000 square miles in iraq and syria. today we have liberated virtually all of the territory from the grip of these blood-thirsty monsters. as we work with our allies to destroy the remnants of isis. it is time to give our brave warriors in syria a warm welcome home. steve: all right. david, you worked during the obama years, state department. what about the fact that when he took the hymn, isis was gigantic and how now it is a shadow of what it used to be. >> i go to iraq frequently i was there a few months ago again. the president has it slightly wrong here.

the effort to defeat isis was well underway when he became president. remember the operation to retake mosul began in october of 2016 before he became president under obama. by january, when he became president, isis was well back on its heels. the president president trump continued the policy of obama in terms of taking it to isis. he did it successfully. he did clear them from most of the territory in iraq and most of the territory in syria. but there was no great change in his approach towards isis. when he overlooked the fact that isis is still there, in iraq, and in syria, they have gone underground and they didn't address how we are going to continue to combat isis if we pull troops out of syria as he mentioned he wants to do. >> i love you there was a huge change. there was unleashing of the war fighter on rules of engagement under this president to actually go and crush isis. not develop the situation so we could minimize. crush them. bomb them, crush them and reduce them to rubble which they are today which brings

in to question and brian, you mentioned germany and japan, we are still there afghanistan, syria and iraq are definitely not germany and japan. brian: right. >> they don't have the same ingredients for a civil society. brian: training, equipping and supplying. >> i get that, the mission of a diplomatic afghanistan. >> we're not doing that we are confronting our enemies. enemy in isis. >> can you do it. brian: keep them from blowing this place up. >> of course. you can do it in a more measured way investment and measured society. brian: take them on directly using the kurds and trained forces as war fighters directly against al qaeda, isis, al-shabaab. >> that's mostly not what we have done for the last 18 years. we have seen american boys and girls normal iraq and make society and it didn't work. the minimal presence in syria is. that's a difference of opinion we are going to have. ainsley: let's talk about north korea because the president announced that he is going to have the summit on february 27th and 28th with kim jong un.

this is unbelievable. he said there has not been a missile launch in 15 months. if i were not president, there would be a major war with north korea. do you agree with that? >> i think that was one of the things that president obama said to the president trump coming in is this is going to be a huge elephant that you are going to have to take on. what was really interesting to me is that what he did not announce and that is that he didn't announce a follow-up meeting with president xi of china. we have that march 1st deadline on the trade dispute. we know behind the scenes that the chinese were pushing for a meeting. so having this meeting at the end of february right before the march deadline as it relates to trade i think is a very interesting maneuver from the foreign policy perspective. he is putting china on notice. so, for me the question is what are we going to get out of this second summit? it's a huge accomplishment that we're not at war with them and haven't tested over the past 15 months. now we need to see some really putting their feet to the fire on where -- do we have a full accounting of the weapons?

are you starting to dismantle? i think you will see secretary pompeo and the president continue to have this economic message to north korea that you can be integrated into the world if you will stop the craziness. brian: perfect symbolism, vietnam, they are commands economy now part of the world community who are tighter with us than they are with china, david, right? >> absolutely right. going back to syria. we had only 2,000 troops in syria. only 2,000 troops are there right now. very low cost for us. back to north korea which i think is very interesting. the president did break news. he is going to do this summit. that's great. but all he said about it is that there is more work to be done. i would have liked to hear how he plans to get kim jong un to actually give up his nuclear ambition. he is right, stopping testing for 15 months is great. that's an accomplishment. and president trump should be proud of that. but the big enchilada is getting kim jong un to move towards giving up his nuclear. >> one of the longest speeches ever. i don't know how much more we can go into.

steve: know what will happen by the end of this month. one more sound bite the president loves the troop and has made that very clear. here he is last night honoring a couple of our world war ii veterans. >> on d-day, june 6th, 1944, 15,000 young american men jumped from the sky and 60,000 more stormed in from the sea. here with us tonight are three of those incredible heroes. private first class joseph reilly, staff sergeant irving locker, and sergeant her man wherman -- steve: you clutched your heart there. >> amazing moment. reminding us who we are as a people. ultimately we are the greatest country on earth have defeated these evils in

the past. felt like a bad family reunion for the most part. no one agrees we come together for a moment and clap and go our separate ways and trash talk each other. i don't know where it goes. i think it was a great speech. his line america will never be a socialist country was setting the table for the terms of 2020. he did a nice job with that. ainsley: what i love about that too they are elderly men. had a hard time standing up and reminds us how great our country is and reminds us what they did 20 years old, 18 years old. pete: can we do that again. ainsley: the greatest generation our grandfather's generation. steve: we have been able to poll the audience right here. cbs did an instant poll, not particularly scientific. but 76% of those who watched approved of the president's address. 72% agreed with his ideas on immigration. that must scare the democrats. and the speech will do more to unite the country

56 percent said that, david. >> i mean, it was masterful use of these guests, especially the world war ii heroes. such a nice moment when he talked about how world war ii person who was in the holocaust, who was part of concentration camp felt like the american soldiers who saved him came down from god. steve: americans are here. >> and moon landing. brian: we are pro-moon. >> last night you never know. when the holocaust survivor saluted the world war ii soldier, for me maybe post 9/11 when george w. bush was giving an inaugural that was for me it was only second to that. one of the most important moments. >> when your black hawk came down it was like an angel from heaven. that's who americans are across the world. steve: there was that man's angel right there. pete, morgan and david. thank you very much. brian: coming back later. don't go away. >> this sign of a fire captain was killed by

remove the illegal immigrants from their communities, are getting trucks and busses to bring them up to our country in areas where there is little border protection. i have ordered another 3,750 troops to our southern border to prepare for this tremendous onslaught. >> there you go. we are just watching in the monitor. excuse me. you heard the president's tough talk on border security and so were the migrants. they were actually watching the state of the union address in tijuana, mexico. ainsley: group there showing a group of migrants huddled in front of the television as they are waiting for asylum in the u.s. brian: steve, go ahead. steve: they wanted to see what the president said about them. he did talk about them. he talked about the caravan which is where griff is

right now on our southern border. griff, i see that more just a moment ago, brian and i and ainsley were watching as an armored car actually pulled up and almost backed over you. griff: that's right. i will just let you see the officials here are keeping that federal, state, and local authorities along with the military guys keeping things under control reach why the officials here are taking this caravan thing very seriously. it's not just president trump talking about it if you look at this morning's headline right here, you see and you don't need to be fluid in spanish to understand what no mas caravanas mars. that's not the planet that's the initials of the president. come on through. come on through. you were talking to him. actually the governor says he will no longer allow not that he doesn't want them. he won't allow them to come

into the state again. talking to the press out here he says he hopes new mexican president obrador generous to these migrants will also have the same viewpoints there should be no more caravans and i talked to the mayor right here in piedras negras and here's what he had to say. >> are you concerned the impact it could have on piedras negras if they come here? >> most definitely. it's a great city. both sides of the border. this is one of the most important import and export border cities is. we handle $22 billion in exports to the u.s. through this border. and it works both ways also the imports coming in from the u.s. griff: so the mayor talking about the impact of these caravans on this border town. and, of course, in tijuana where you were watching those migrants watch the state of the union, we talked to the mayor last november, he said the same thing, that these are bad. meanwhile, two more caravans

are set to start in the coming week in honduras, guys. steve: all right. griff jenkins with a live report from mexico. thank you very much. meanwhile, somebody who has written books about immigration policy in this country, michelle malkin syndicated columnist and author she joins us from colorado. michelle, what do you make of those images griff just brought us where the migrants in tijuana actually were watching the state of the union because they wanted to know what the president had to say about them? >> well, you think it underscores an important point that president trump himself has made in the fails of this debate and the entrance general's of the open borders democrats. and that is it's not just about a wall as long as you have these magnets drawing everybody here and everybody is aware of it around the world it's not going to stop. that's the point that president trump made during the address last night i think it's hugely important that the speech that

president trump delivered delivered very defining moments that contrast the differences between the parties. and when you have the democrats booing because president trump was exposing and continuing to hammer the fact that these caravans are in endangering the country and posing enormous costs to people at the border, let alone in the interior, this is a message i think that is going to resonate all the way through 2020 and going to pose a huge optics problem for the democrat party. they can laugh and snicker and sneer and smirk and sit in their seats and have their little temper tantrums. the vast jorlt of americans majf americans want something done about immigration. sitting there smirking is not the answer. brian: polls overwhelming the president did a great job in polarized country where they always seem to don't give the president any respect. they did in these polls but the media seems to be already dead set against

anything he says. even after an hour and 21 minutes in which he weaved together i thought a great story. listen. >> i saw this as a psychotically incoherent speech with cookies and dog poop. >> what i think donald trump raised to a new level the demagoguery, the hyperbole, the chosennism. didn't mention climate change in a sentence is a disgrace. >> what he represented tonight was someone with absolutely no attachment with anything he says. >> that's not true. >> thank you resistance for showing your bitter, clingy and really adamantly deranged attitude about our president before he even uttered a single word. and i want to call out specifically van jones. i think that he should leave mental health diagnoses to professionals. after all, van jones should

be reminded that he praised president trump. brian: he did. >> for something that he highlighted during the address last night which is his embrace of criminal justice reform. and a very concrete accomplishment with the first step act. that moment with alice johnson was one of many of the defining moments of unity that the democrats say -- they pay lip service to unity and then they spent the entire time tearing him down when most of normal america outside of the beltway appreciated those moments. and alice johnson was just one of them. steve: it was, indeed. all right. michelle, thank you very much with your analysis in this post game show. ainsley: thanks. brian: so much time on criminal justice reform he had two or three examples of it and van jones kept going to the white house and says i keep expecting that the last minute he will change his mind but he got something done president obama couldn't. ainsley: he had the guy the first recipient of the first step act that was there and said did he bible studies in prison and now he is out and wants to do good.

steve: that was one of the moments and there are many others and jillian joins us with some of them right now. jillian: the president's annual address had social media buzzing last night. one of the most unexpected and heart warming moments was when lawmakers sang happy birthday to one of the president's special guest. watch this. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ happy birthday dear judah [cheers and applause] >> thank you.

steve: the president has

walked in to address the nation is kevin mccarthy he joins us from statuary hall. good morning, mr. leader. >> good morning. steve: you loved the message the president had last night. >> i did. i think it can make every american proud. the way he talked about first starting out with when we can work together. talking about the world war ii vets and then bringing it back where america rescued the individuals from the holocaust, the dac dacao and going forward. steve: nancy pelosi looking it right there where she is leaving through the president's speech. she looked very uncomfortable at times. and then a lot of people were surprised the number of times democrats did not applaud, whether it was unemployment or the unborn or even the fact that the president said we will never be a socialist country. >> yeah. that was very disappointing. you know what they have to do? they have got to put their dislike for this president, they have got to put the country before that because

what the president talked about, i thought he was very fair to all. he respected their win. he honored them in their win. but he also talked about things every american should support. the idea of protecting life. of a child being born you couldn't stand. or the idea when you see those world war ii vets what they risked their lives and so many gave their lives. the idea that socialism in america? you can't stand against socialism? that's real concerning to me. steve: no kidding. the president, while he did talk about the need for the wall and it's a moral issue, he did not give congress an ultimatum. he said if i don't get $5.6 billion i'm going to declare an emergency. why is that? >> well, what the president was saying was you are legislators. you should do your job. he laid out a place where the argument could be why you needed border security. for human trafficking. the ability to stop those and save those young kids that are put into slavery coming across. but what the president said do your job. the one point he did say at the end i have a job, too.

he has a responsibility to protect this nation. legislatively solve it, but, if not, i still have to do my job and make sure this country is protected. steve: exit question. will the house be able to get things done during the next two years or is it all going to be about resistance? you've got 10 seconds. >> i believe we can. when you look at this president, he is willing to work with anyone that wants to put america moving forward. the question will be the next two weeks. can the democrats put away their politics and put america before it? steve: we would all like the answer to that. we will know it in two weeks. kevin mccarthy thank you so much. >> thank you so much. steve: coming up donald trump jr. and mike rowe in the final hour of "fox & friends." ♪

greatness. brian: a lot of dug in whatever the president does is great. a lot of people whatever the president does is bad. then there is last night's speech. most people thought it was really well done. cbs did a poll. 76% of americans tuned into the speech approved what he said. just 24% disapprove. that is unbelievable. ainsley: phenomenal the way he woven the stories. we've seen in the past, some of the presidents picked out people in the crowd, told their stories. there is the poll, 76% approved last night. the way it was woven together. it didn't seem like a speech. sounded more -- brian: slice of life. slice of the country. steve: state of the union. the president said the state of our union is strong. as he recounted last two years and looks to the future. watch this. >> the agenda i will lay out this evening is not a republican agenda or a democrat agenda.

it's the agenda of the american people. we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution. victory is not winning for our party. victory is winning for our country.

always going to be resistance. when you look at some of the things the democrats refused to stand for. the fact that my father got right to try legislation passed. so many things, all-time low, hispanic unemployment. all-time low african-american unemployment. the fact of the state of the union is strong. when you see the democrats not standing for that, i mean those are things we all can agree on. those are things any american should be proud of, and so i think he always knows there are going to be, they will put up some sort of fake resistance for political purposes, but reality is, he is a game time player. he went in there. he was prepared. he was ready. and he delivered. he made me not only proud, incredibly proud as a son but also as an american. we need to see more of that these days. ainsley: don, i thought it was smart of him to start with the unity issues, what we have in common. how victory is not winning for our party, winning is for our

country. had nothing to do with democrats, republicans, he goes into of the economic numbers which no one can disagree with. we're now number unproducer of oil and natural gas. then criminal justice which was bipartisan issue. then he talked about the wall and immigration. listen to. >> this is a moral issue. the lawless state of our southern border is a threat to the safety, security, and financial well being of all america. wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards. [applause] tolerance for illegal immigration is not compassionate, it is actually very cruel. we will always support the brave men and women of law enforcement and i pledge to you tonight,

that i will never abolish our heroes from i.c.e. thank you. [applause] now is the time for congress to show the world that america is committed to ending illegal immigration and putting the ruthless coyotes, cartels, drug dealers, and human traffickers out of business. [cheers and applause] brian: that is front and center. we have a deadline on that, don, jr., the president was effective. half the room, you can tell me what you saw, half the room sat there still, the other half stood and cheered. >> it is politics. most of the people in that room, even democrats had voted for the wall and other border security measures. now that donald trump is in there, now that you have a president that is finally getting things done, not just talking about it, actually

delivering on his campaign promises, actually making things happen, actually moving america forward and gaining our respect again in the world, now they're against it because they don't want to give him a perceived political win to deliver yet another campaign promise. so i don't think anyone in america doesn't believe this is all political. i don't think anyone in america somehow doesn't believe that walls work. just look at the statistics of el paso and juarez. two border towns, one in mexico, one in the united states. the murder rate in juarez through the roof. the only thing separates them from a wall recently installed. el paso used to have similar murder rate. it is common sense. people are on to the idea this is political. when you talk about that, you talk to my father in person, not just the stories in human trafficking, when you hear stories that he heard from the i.c.e. agents that he met on the border, talking about parents giving their young children

birth control because they know they're going to be rapeed on the way up, this terrible journey this is humanitarian crisis is are been one. for the democrats to play that game is truly sad. steve: clearly you look up on the big screen, we have the "cbs news poll" brian alluded to, 76% of viewers that watch your father's speech, approved of the speech and majority of them approved of his take on immigration. stacey abrams was to give the democrat response. she ran for the governor in the great state of georgia. she talked about voter suppression and talked about immigration in the official response. listen to this, don, jr. >> compassionate treatment at the border is not the same as open borders. president reagan understood this. president obama understood this. americans understand this. and democrats stand ready to

effectively secure our ports and borders but we must all embrace that from agriculture to health care, to entrepreneurship ship, america is made stronger by presence of immigrants, not walls. steve: when she talks about ronald reagan, ronald reagan understood there was a problem with illegal immigration in the country. he tried to go the congressional route. got a deal. you ultimately in the long run that was a bad deal for reagan. >> more importantly my father said it. he is all for immigration, but a merit-based system, people come into the country who will contribute, who can create jobs and do all of the things. my mom is an immigrant. my father's mom is an immigrant. we have lived incredible immigrant story and success story in this country. we understand all the merits. that said we can't haphazardly

let everyone come, come into a system they're likely never to pay into. we'll destroy our school systems are already so overburdened. our public school systems are at a breaking point. they want to flood it with other people. our health care system, the same thing. we want to be compassionate. we want to be able to help everyone. but we have to help our own people first. once we solve all of those problems, then we can deal with the rest of the world. the democrats go about this, we don't have our own problems to deal with in this country. we are all for immigration. but we want to bring in people who really are going to contribute, people who are here on a merit-based system. that is just common sense, guys. that is any other country in the world's immigration policies. that is what canada does. that is, it is amazing we're having these arguments today. the democrats are so out of touch. you know, their motives are not pure. anyone watching this sees that. brian: work visas are the

ticket. we should agree on that. the president's quote i want people in largest numbers ever, just legally. include obligation to millions of immigrants here. when legal immigrants come they have to be put in school, no question is asked, against the law where they do so. guess where they put them. they don't put them in the rich areas, into the working class areas, where teachers are overtaxed, and large and for the most part don't speak english and hurts everybody from a to z. >> 100%. people affected most of policies of open borders, are young african-americans, young hispanic-americans in those communities. that's a shame. we shouldn't allow that to happen. that will perpetuate so many cycles of poverty that really affect those constituencies, those demographics. that doesn't affect me as much. i'm blessed to send my kids to private schools. we want to make sure that we take care of all americans. my father has been fighting so

hard, first way to do that, with the incredible economy. there is not a single economic metric where we are not better off today than we were two very short years ago under president obama. that is not even arguable at this point. all of that benefits everyone in this country. all of that allows this to continue. and the democrats, their concept? shut it all down. tax everyone 70%. what could possibly go wrong. they use venezuela as model for socialism. i love my father said america will never be a socialist country. that is the other side's platform right now. it doesn't take much. listen to any of the sound bites. listen to any of the people allies in the mainstream media are putting forward as real contends. listen to the things, watch their body language last night on things that all americans should agree on. they don't even stand or applaud. it is pretty scary. ainsley: watched bernie sanders when your dad talked about being

a socialist country. and venezuela, reminded us what socialism really looks like. listen to the sound bite. then we'll get your reaction. >> we're alarmed by the new calls to dropped socialism in our country. we are born free and we will stay free. [cheers and applause] we renew our resolve that america will never be a socialist country. [cheers and applause] steve: you would think everybody in that hall would have stood up and cheered. not the case. there is bernie's reaction to similar comment. >> by the way, look at rest of democrats. nancy pelosi didn't even stand for this thing. it is no secret that is their future, right? the democratic party with their policies does not exist if the

populist is not dependent on big government. it is that simple, guys. this is not rocket science. they need americans to be dependent on them. they need americans to have to look to government for everything. that is what they're pushing. that is what they want. that is why they can't fathom the notion of capitalism being the greatest system ever established. it is worked for this country. it put people on the moon. buzz aldrin was there. those world war ii vets were there. incredible holocaust survivor. that happy birthday moment was spectacular. i don't get misty eyed too often. that was getting pretty close. this is the greatest country in the world. the things that it has done, the things it has accomplished, the things we yet to accomplish are incredible. those systems would shut all this down. look at anywhere else it is

implemented. brian: don, no one saw this coming. people started defining what the new abortion law in sick other states, flagrant in virginia where the governor is under fire, final term abortion, the president went right at it. listen. >> defend the dignity of every person, i am asking congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children. who can feel pain in the mother's womb. [cheers and applause] steve: just that image of so many people not reacting is stunning. ainsley: especially the women. >> guys, when he is talking about post-term abortion, how

about anywhere else in the world, anywhere else in this country two weeks ago, that would have been considered murder. yet the governor of virginia, talking about, well the baby is born, but if you maybe change your mind right after that -- steve: we'll talk about it. >> that is scary stuff, guys. this is not, i understand the conflict on the abortion issue. but after the baby is born? if we're having that conversation today, and we're not, you know, just saying out right this is ridiculous, there is truly something wrong with our moral compass. when i watch democrats, it is terrible that you can't let someone kill a baby, that is in the process of being born in labor or shortly thereafter, something is very wrong, guys. brian: they will be forced to answer that. real quick, don, how are you and organization handling what is supposed to be avalanche of investigations and inquiries, how is that affecting you guys? >> reality, they tried whatever they can to make our lives

miserable that way. they have been doing it to me two years on other issues. reality is nothing there. we are incredible business. we focus on our existing assets. they're trying to make it very difficult for us to grow. they are trying to do anything they can to smear this president. again they have gone and executed the greatest witch-hunt probably in american history. certainly going after a president. in two years they have come up with exactly nothing. you have seen every sound bite that many of the other networks have been talking about. especially as relates to me. if don, jr. called his father. because they asked me in congress two years ago, you got a call on some random day for 2 1/2 minutes from a blocked number, you say i don't know. i don't remember. i don't know who called me yesterday. oh, my god, it must be this. must be that. guess what? apparently they found out it is not. i literally didn't know. they found out it is not. that narrative died. steve: found out it was not your

father you had spoken to, that changes the story. i didn't see a lot of follow-up. >> there was none. they have been able to milk the sound bite. apparently senate intel subpoenaed the phone company records i talked to two friends who happen to have blocked numbers. another narrative dies. there is no cover, maybe the big thing that we've been hanging our hat on for two years maybe that one is over. that happened time and time again. same thing happened with the wikileaks dump. same thing happened with this. i think it is time that americans get real answers for this, rather than allowing the leftists who are running this operation to keep perpetuating these falsehoods about my father, my family. they're doing this country a major disservice. steve: sounds yesterday, chuck grassley thought it might wrap up shortly. he kind of walked it back so who knows. >> i've been hearing it for two years. steve: don, jr., thank you for joining us on busy wednesday morning. >> thank you. brian: would have a great

pointless destruction. tonight i ask you to choose greatness. [cheers and applause] steve: speaking of great, the great mike rowe returning to -- joins us live. good morning. >> how are you guys? brian: great series on facebook. >> thanks very much. steve: congratulations to your mom. the book sold out immediately. >> honestly having the time of her life. you were hugely helpful for her mother. brian: they like her a lot better than you. >> i don't blame them. steve: were you shocked at reaction for the democrats, who would not stand, talking about socialism, unborn, unemployment, things like that? you would think these are things we all get together on? >> no. not going to happen. what the president just said, i can't quote him verbatim, it was really interesting, seconds,

vending against, this or that, this or that, this or that. arguments aside the fundamental choices are binary in everything. right now he is right. he is right. it is this or that the. it is draws to frame everything as good or bad, right or wrong, blue-collar or white-collar, right? that is where we are as a country. as a result we simply don't know what to stand for, because when we hear something we agree with, if it is coming out of a source we don't like, we're paralyzed. if we hear something we disagree with from a source we like we can't call them out because everything has been framed as this or that. so my thought watching the speech was, he can't do or say anything that is going to make anybody stand who doesn't like him. neither and the other side. the question is, what can we talk about? ainsley: send any hoyer, joe manchin stood you about majority of democrats. they were talking about third-term abortion which shocked me.

he talked about the economy and jobs. i thought of you because i knew we were going to have you on show. more people working in america than ever in our country's history, then he said wages are growing especially for the blue-collar worker. smart of him to begin the speech with that, positive numbers? >> i would have, yeah. look, this is inconvenient truth for a lot of people who are wrestling with the aforementioned cognitive dissidence. we have 7 million jobs that are open. a bug ching of those, majority, don't require a four-year degree. i got $700,000 i'm trying to give away this month in my foundation. we do this every year. we're over five million now. good for us. it is hard to award work ethic scholarships these days, we're affirmatively challenging the idea that unemployment exists because there are no jobs. there are a lot of jobs. ofthe discussions has broken don is it a good job or bad job?

we're not talking about the existence of opportunity. we're talking about the quality of opportunities that undeniably exist. as a result we frame the debate in a way we can't possibly win. we're having the wrong conversation. brian: the president said we have over 156 million people working in our country. we're a nation of 300 plus million. >> you will do math now. brian: you don't want me doing math, even balancing your checkbook. i said wait a second, there are kids, people too old, too young, a lot of people choosing not to work. some people are choosing that the system gives me stuff for not working so maybe i shouldn't but you also bring up the fact that these jobs that are open are sometimes, they're tough jobs. they need a work ethic. do you think as a country, we don't want to get our hands dirty? >> i think it is part of it but look, again the conversation we're having is, what is a good job? we're going to answer the question we asked. so we asked that question. we have a list of jobs that are

good. well those jobs require years degrees. we're lending money we don't have who kids will never pay them back to train for the jobs that are good. over here, pipe fitting carp pentry, construction trades, that lead many cases to a small business, those are not getting anywhere near the love. as a result you're not hearing stories of kids who are making 120 grand a year, who a year ago, learned how to weld. you're not hearing the stories. steve: you know what? you're absolutely right. here in the new york city area if you're a plumber you could make good money. i was talking to our plumber replacing boiler to our house, he said the last guy he was able to hire, worked for him two days then quit. i have a question for you, regarding what the president is talking about with illegal immigration. how it impacts our unemployment number. how does illegal immigration and migration impact the blue-collar worker in this country? >> i don't know but i know this, if the skills gap is real, and i

think it is, then what do we say about the fact that virtually every construction company in the country right now has many, many open positions? it is kind of feels good to say, ah, well illegal immigrants took the jobs except the positions are open. it doesn't quite line up. something else is going on. immediately the conversation will morph to wages. my buddies on the left, look the problem with existing opportunity -- steve: got to pay them more. >> my buddies on the right is saying fundamental laziness, binary choice, sucker's bet. somewhere in between we're missing undeniable fact that the opportunities are real. brian: for the good stories, go to, "return the favor" on facebook, mike? >> this is something to stand for. everybody could watch the last episode of "returning the favor." no way we're not going to clap for that. we're going to little towns,

finding people slightly better than us, present company excepted we're rewarding them in a way everyone in the community can agree on. we have 30 million views on the first episode. good for us. brian: salute the moon, salute world war ii, there were things that brought us together. >> how can you have a problem with the moon? brian: we're pro--moon. i would like to go back. we haven't been there a long time. i want to go back to the moon. ainsley: president said we're going back to space. brian: absolutely. space force. steve: "return the favor" on facebook and his mother's book. thank you, mike rowe. ainsley: president trump vowing to crack down on illegal immigration during the state of the union. >> we have a moral duty to create an immigration system that protects the lives and jobs of our citizens. ainsley: he is right about it being a moral duty? our panel is here to discuss it next. steve: they have added one since last time. plus what are voters saying about the speech? we're checking in with todd piro.

♪ ainsley: well you heard the president's tough talk on border security at state of the union and so did migrants. look at that they were watching down in tijuana. that video right there show as group of migrants huddled in front of a television set as they await asylum in the united states. brian: i wonder if they have the "fox nation" app as well? griff jenkins in different shelter in mexico where more migrants plan to cross the sound border. griff. reporter: we'll find out if they have the app. they have a phone charging station in the shelter. look at behind me, the show of force they brought out yesterday they brought out today. officials out here, you can see

"fox & friends" co-host pete

hegseth. next to him to fobs news contributor morgan ortegas, former state department official, former policy advisor to president obama, david tifuri. were you surprised, tom, in griff's report, apparently migrants waiting to find out if they can come in the country were watching the big tv show behind you on their devices in tijuana? >> no, they keep track what is going on in this country. they know the lax immigration policies. they know they won't be detained. can make fraudulent claims of asylum. they know what is going on in the country. they take advantage of it. they know what the loopholes are. they take advantage of them. steve: the president did last night, a rallying cry for some on the political left, getting rid of i.c.e. the president talks about that will not happen on his watch. >> we have a moral duty to create an immigration system

that protects the lives and jobs of our citizens. we will always support the brave men and women of law enforcement and i pledge to you tonight, that i will never abolish our heros from i.c.e. steve: and, david, we have heard a number of people from the political left. they go look, we're from a sanctuary state, a sanctuary town, whatever, we don't like i.c.e. so that is what the president was talking about right there. not going to happen on his watch. >> we can't abolish i.c.e., that is ridiculous. that will never happen. the president hit his points on immigration last night. i thought he did a good job of explaining his views. he said something he really surprised me, he wants legal immigration in larger numbers than ever. i had to double-check that. i was surprised he said that. not totally consistent what he has done in terms of trying to eliminate chain migration and terms of eliminating refugees or cutting down on refugees. what we didn't hear how we get a

compromise on the wall. steve: right. >> compromise has to be done, we have to do something for dreamers, daca recipients in exchange for democrats giving him money in the wall. that is the compromise. democrats should compromise. should give in on that. trump could take a deal. he didn't talk about daca. i would like to hear something he would do for the dreamers. steve: you know why, morgan? i bet he wants to do a bigger deal with daca and increase the number with david was talking about. >> potentially but he doesn't have any good faith negotiating partner. daca has been on the table. tps has been on the table. when he talks about building the wall i think at this point he will have to look to the military, route he doesn't want to take a national emergency. this will be incredibly difficult because the democrats have proven they care more about hitting trump than they do about the daca recipients. steve: pete, it is not surprising. how many people in the wide shot, okay that is somebody from the resistance right there?

>> they wore the same color as representative of the resistance. it is nice job. speaking to american people, getting into theatrics on the moment. he gave effectively a speech those thinking about binary choice. mike roe thought it was binary choice on 2020. somebody will look presidential. even though they have been trying to tear him down, entire time. making sovereign sense case sovereignty of love of your country. where i think the sweet spot is for most americans. in that sense a very effective message. >> can't let the daca thing go. no problem with a fix for daca. they cannot have a fix for daca, until they address underlying reasons of immigration.

steve: talking about the people behind you. >> next daca population in 10 years. unless you close loopholes. no clean daca fix? >> almost mocked idea of a caravan. no mass caravan. what people that support this president want. takes emergency declaration. didn't say it last night. i think he will do it. steve: we'll see what happens. tom, pete, morgan. david. thank you very much. president trump praising woman during the state. union address? >> we have more women in the workforce than ever before. don't sit yet. you will like this. steve: how much do you like it? we have dials you won't see anywhere else. what are voters saying for the speech. todd piro, "breakfast with friends." check in with him next.
