coast guard member fainted. >> i really came to say thank you. >> thankfully, is he okay. ♪ brian: doesn't seem right that an australian should have a dominant role in country and it's all country. ainsley: nobody is complaining. steve: already thursday. it's been a very busy week. delighted you would join us on this thursday morning and we have lots to talk about, including one of our lead stories we have been talking about for a very long time. griff jenkins is going to join us showing you us the very latest on the border situation down south. the president is going to go to el paso on monday. the migrants are there. they are being kept in place by the mexican government. regarding the border wall and the congressional committee that's been looking into some sort of a deal, they met yesterday,
3:02 am
and it sounds like they could be near something, but will the president wind up with $5.7 billion? republicans say no. but the democrats say that there will be money for border barriers. not a wall but border barriers. brian: which is fine. the president has said before a wall, a barrier. i need something over there because they have been effective and he talked about the ballard fencing which is steel which we have seen all up close and personal and that in many cases is what the border patrol prefers. i like henry square area a squ a democrat from texas we are not going to be able to get him $5.7 billion. aches ains they are saying no wall, a barrier. republicans are saying we are not going to be able to get 5.7. depends on how talk. to say some senators say we are much closer than we were on monday. others say we didn't learn anything in yesterday's
3:03 am
meeting. mick mulvaney was on with sean hannity last night and he said no matter what the president is going to get that $5.7 billion and they have a plan. >> he said very clearly last night he is going to get it done. he put his hand up to take that oath. he is going to get it done. he is. we would love to work with congress to do it. that's the right way and easiest way to do it. and fastest way to do it. if congress won't participate and go along, we will figure out a way to do it with executive authority and let's be clear about this legal executive authority. this is not a circumstance of the president overstepping his bounds. ainsley: we have heard so many lawmakers and people in the administration say what he just said but he actually went on to give specifics of how they are going to do it. we heard that for the first time last night. he said -- sean said you know what the democrats are going to do start judge shopping. if you want to get a supreme court. they will try to knock it down. mick mulvaney we'll find the money with the lowest threat of litigation and find that pot of money to the next pot
3:04 am
that will continue with more threat and continue like that until we get the money. brian: richard shelby said we are finally dealing in substance. how great would it be go back to the way the government is supposed to work. you go in and want this and want that and meet somewhere in between. fight for the next year's budget and do an election. that's the way it used to be. steve: brian, things have changed in washington. it's not like that anymore. brian: this could be a sign that things are changing for the better. they said open up the government, get the 17 people together. bicameral, bipartisan and work out a deal. if they do and everyone feels they got a little maybe we could move forward. steve: to my point the democrats are saying there is no money for a wall. that's just to rub the president's face in it they may have money for fencing and that becomes a semantics thing. i think, given what we have heard the administration say in the past and democrats as well, democrats have said we need to hear from experts. yesterday they heard frederick's%. people from the border patrol and people from ice.
3:05 am
what did they say? they said we need $5.7 billion so they were supporting what the president has been saying. i bet if he gets anything north of what he was going to get in the first round, so something in the 2s or 3s, he will take it. and a fence or a barrier close enough to a wall given everything else, because he needs to start running for re-election and he would be able to say, look, i closed down the government and i got a better deal. ainsley: 3 billion would be better than using legal executive action. steve: it's going to wind up in court. brian: if it ends up in court nothing gets done and democrats win and that will be it. the shutdown happened for 34 days. just like the schumer shut down happened a year ago no one talked about it during the midterm election. ending up with something 1.3 wall money. ends up fencing and ballard steel barriers. he is fine with that it shows, i listened to the experts and i changed that's because they told me they
3:06 am
wanted. ainsley: brian, steve, what is happening in the safety virginia? brian: embarrassment. steve: good question. we have a graphic right there. the guy screen left is the governor ralph northam. of course, last week he apologized for appearing in a blackface prove but then the next day he said that's not me. then the guy next to him is the attorney general mark herring, also a democrat and it was revealed yesterday by him that apparently he had a problem with a blackface situation back in the day. brian: by the way out attorney general is the one who told the governor to resign because of the blackface situation in the medical journal. steve: then you have the lieutenant governor justin fairfax screen right. he was hit with a sexual allegation in 2004. vanessa tyson came forward and she said look, i told people years ago. she went to the "the washington post" with her story i believe about a year and a half ago. they decided not to go ahead
3:07 am
and go with it on monday night mr. fairfax lashed out at the accuser using inappropriate language that we're not even going to come close to hinting at. ainsley: started with the governor last week with the abortion issue. and then that rolled into the blackface, the racist photo. and then him admitting that he did the blackface michael jackson. then that rolled into the guy the lieutenant governor who this woman is accusing him and then the attorney general, mark herring and he said that he wore blackface. then two hours later this girl comes out and gist her account of what the lieutenant governor, she says he did to her. brian: northam who has been off the hook for three days. somebody else who graduated with him who handled the yearbook editing saying he picked his page. every picture on that page that he picked that page. don't let him say i don't really remember this or i don't know how it got there that's just not going to fly. the question is with three scandals, do you hear any of them and do you go to the fourth person in -- the fourth person in the hierarchy, that would be a
3:08 am
republican. steve: that would be house speaker kirk cox. he is next in line if those three men decide to quit. let's bring in kelsey harkness a senior writer for the heritage foundation and fellow at the independent women's forum. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: let's start with the governor. this morning the h editorial board of "the washington post" is calling for ralph northam, who says that's not him in the picture, they are calling on him to quit anyway. >> right. well, if you follow the democrats' own standards that they have mapped out for us, all three of them should resign. specifically the governor. it's important to remember where this controversy started with those infanticide comments, a very cavalier attitude towards a woman who is in the process of giving birth. democrats want to avoid that conversation. but, if this were happening on the republican side where you had kkk costumes and blackface coming up in
3:09 am
medical school yearbooks, and you had, you know, yet another instance of this, coming from the virginia attorney general, they would be questioning the entire values that the republican party stand for. but, because this is democrats, you know, it's just a few bad apples. and they are not using it. nobody is using it to delegitimize or question the actual values that conservatives stand by. i want to be clear that i think these two instances are linked. the comments about infanticide and racist history. it really reflects lack of dignity and respect for the human being. brian: i agree with you. this whole dressing up in blackface we know anchors have gotten in trouble for it we remember ted dancing dating whoopi goldberg showed up at some event in blackface. whoopi goldberg thought it was hysterical. things have changed. if you want to make sweeping condemnations of others, then you have to wonder if
3:10 am
you are going to hold yourself to the same standard. when you do, it seems like three people have failed miserably. now when it comes to fairfax, the lieutenant governor, you have got to let this whole situation play out. that was the case with brett kavanaugh. remember when democrats said this when he was accused about something that happened in 12th grade. >> not only do women like dr. ford who bravely come forward need to be heard but they need to be believed. i just want to say to the men of this country just shut up and step up. do the right thing. >> let me just say right at the outset, i believe dr. ford. i believe the survivor here. >> i believe her. she is credible. she should be heard. >> i believe her. >> i believe professor ford. i think she is credible. >> double standard? >> absolutely a double standard. there is a double standard in the "the washington post" decision to sit on this allegation. they had this allegation from fairfax a year ago and decided not to move forward
3:11 am
and publish it. and, yet, they had an allegation about brett kavanaugh with actually less corroboration and less evidence than we had in the fairfax case. and they decided to move forward and publish that and make that the leading story for months going through that confirmation process. so i think this is really exposing the media for how biased they really are. and then there is an absolute double standard on behalf of democrats who have been telling us for the past six months something that believe all women. well, why isn't anybody believing this woman now? ainsley: we need to remember we have to have the same standard now as we did during the kavanaugh hearing. you are innocent until proven guilty. thank you so much, kelsey for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: hand it over to jillian who has headlines for us. >> jillian: a police officer and veteran with three tours killed in the line of duty. milwaukee police department mourning the loss of matthew whitner shot while serving a

3:13 am
barr would take over for matthew whitaker who has been filling the role since the president fired jeff sessions last year. that's a look at your headlines. brian: i don't know why mark whitcher would go down to have his meeting in front of that committee on friday. is he only going to have the job another week. why put himself under that time of scrutiny. steve: that's d.c. for you. jillian, thank you very much. brian: 13 minutes after the hour. president trump warning against socialism during the state of the union. i will stop now. >> we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country. brian: right. will the u.s. attorney into a socialist state in the next guest says the answer lies with millennials and urge to cash out on capitalism. that's story coming your way. steve: he is one of the most infamous drug lords as the feds look to put el chapo behind bars one d.e.a. agent who hunted the king pin says the person who should be locked up it sean penn. details coming up ♪ and another one's gone

that? drawing loud cheers and even a standing ovation from republicans. as young adults move a more favorable view of socialism than capitalism does that scare you? let's ask former adjunct professor dr. peter kach taught entrepreneurship for more than 20 years. do you believe this generation is scared of capitalism and embracing socialism? >> no, i don't. actually it's sort of like politics. they call a conservative a liberal. a capitalist becomes a socialist who has to pay taxes. once the millennials start paying taxes in cities they have high tax rates very quickly they tend to favor capitalism. brian: yet people under 35 then to think that the irish have too much like you see aoc billionaires are free loaders. rich people cheated their way to the top. that's the mind set. do you find that in college kids.
3:19 am
>> absolutely not. when you teach college kids envy is the world. capitalism is a machine way of life. first pilgrims that came here were entrepreneurs, they were risk-takers. all throughout our close to 300 years capitalism has been our machine. brian: peter if you have somebody if you vote for me free preschool, medicine for all. tax billionaires 90% of what they earn. that's the mind set of the people you are speaking about. >> that's correct. that's because they are not given the information. let's give you a couple quick statistics. today about 50% of americans give to charity. more than probably any other country in the world. we give over $400 billion last year to charity. take a guy like chuck finny. he started duty free shops around the world accumulated a wealth of $8 billion. brian, he gave away all $8 billion while he is still alive at 87 and has
3:20 am
$2 million left. is he a socialist capitalist. i believe these millennials will become social capitalists. brian: it's not all about me. not greed is good. get money, spread it around as a choice not a demand through taxing. entrepreneurs. what did the reagan tax cuts do for entrepreneurship in the country. >> something amazing did i the study myself. 1982 forbes 400. 68 to 70% got it through real estate, real estate or energy oil. go 20 years later, brian, 50% of the forbes 400 the wealthiest families in america started less than $25,000. they were not born into this they earned it. brian: that's what people have to understanding go out there and compete because we can't afford to support every single person. that's not the way it works. it hasn't worked in any single country. dr. peter kach. thank you so much. you have another officer killed in the line of duty. seventh one gunned down this

3:27 am
years. >> honestly that's when the narrative began that we noticed most recently there was a noted lack of respect. a guy that gets arrested in boston is having beers with the president in the white house. that's a problem tha problematic situation it all starts with the top and our elected leaders. really, at this point, it's very difficult for us in law enforcement leadership to continue to encourage our people to continue to wear what you have described as a target and many people feel the same way. steve: how do we fix it. >> you change the narrative. people have to learn there is a lawful order from a police officer you have to comply. you can't shoot your way out of a situation. steve: are they simply not afraid of the consequences? >> i think when you look at the general media, i think they are empowered like the chief said, you know, a suspect would never get beer with a president. steve: the so-called beer summit? >> beer summit. we have to change the

3:35 am
entry into this country and that's using a lawful port of entry. griff: that's the big question, guys, these migrants are contained and relaxed because they are getting their temporary visa asylum cards. takes five days to process. the 2,000 in there to date only 139 have gotten those cards. when they do the question is will they remain in mexico or move freely throughout mexico as they will be allowed and try to cross somewhere into the united states. history has shown the latter more than the fact that they would remain in mexico. meanwhile, there is news of a new caravan starting today in sa where this one started. another one is on the way. we will find out what happens, guys. brian: you just put up something what is that an advertisement to join the caravan? steve: it's a flier. >> that's right. i get on social media, everyone is always asking me who is organizing this? and the fact is it's really

griff: that's exactly right. they talked yesterday with the guy coordinating all of the security have you seen all week long he is the state's secretary. we are trying to make sure that these people are checked for criminal background history. if they are found to have one they will be immediately deported. as of yesterday they have not deported anybody. not just the threat of crossing into u.s., which has s. certainly a concern to all americans. they are also worried about the citizens here in piedras negativnegras they fear they may have a criminal past and health risk. we have two confirmed case of tuberculosis. one confirmed case of hiv and a lot of respiratory infections. brian: they are not coming here legally right there. griff, thanks. ainsley: it seems the mexico government if they are saying you can stay here and we will help you find work for the next year or so until you can get asylum into america. many of them might actually stay there. they say they are fleeing a

witch-hunt. steve: judge andrew napolitano joins us now. >> the president has summarized this very nicely. it's unfortunate that he is now the victim of a probably vengeful democratic majority in the house of representatives. steve: but, judge, elections have consequences. >> yeah. we know that we were talking during the break. don't you need some suspicion, some colone kernel to stop some evidence. do you if it's a criminal investigation. you don't if it's the congress. unfortunately for the president and unfortunately for all presidents. the congress can investigate whatever it wants and literally engage in a witch-hunt whether there is evidence there or not and president trump is going to be. and he got ahead of the game by anticipating this very eloquently in his state of the union. he is about to be in their crosshairs. i don't know where it's going to go. he has a lot of defenses. most important of which is executive privilege who i said what to whom in the privacy when i get advice from people around me. but congressman schiff i

3:55 am
criminal event. if one of adam schiff's peeps reveal what they learn they can do it with impunity. they can steal and do whatever they want. they can run a shadow investigation to bob mueller's. what did they do yesterday? they sent to mueller the transcripts of everybody who has testified before in the -- when the republicans ran the congress so mueller could see if anybody lied. ainsley: did mueller ask for it? >> i don't know. he asked for roger stone's a month ago and he got them. yesterday they shipped everything over there. steve: what do you make of the fact michael cohen -- he didn't handle much for him. he had been scheduled to come to capitol hill. now it sounds as if he will be in the hot seat behind closed doors the day that the president is meeting with kim jong un. >> they obviously want to steal the thunder from the president. remember, they can conceal and reveal legally whatever they want. i don't know what's going on with michael cohen. the window of his freedom and congress knows that got

4:02 am
from honduras. steve: that's right. because over the border that's where the migrants are. are border patrol agents there in texas are now currently only allowing between 12 and 15 applications to be processed each day. ainsley: joining us live from a shelter in mexico where the migrants are waiting for asylum in the u.s. griff? griff: that's right, guys. they can wait for up to a year if they get the temporary visa in mexico while claims play out in the united states. they are asleep in the building now. you see the security presence isn't quite as it was in the past few couple of days. they are still here. military police, the mexican army as well as the federal police all keeping watch on migrants who have had it pretty comfortable. they had cable tv installed yesterday because they wanted to watch a really important soccer game between madrid and barcelona who tied 1-1. what's really going on is the story this morning is what's happening on the u.s.
4:03 am
side. and that is a real hardening of the border. they call it border integrity and it is absolutely to the teeth here in eagle pass. the pentagon, of course, sending 250 troops from arizona to eagle pass. and we talked with matthew hudak who is the border patrol chief for the del rio sector. here is what he had to say. >> at this point the system is at a total capacity at all points in the process. the status quo is not sustainable. the situation demands action at a variety of fronts. griff: my apologies that is standing with hudak shot port director there paul of cdp. whether coming legally through the port of entry or matthew hudak who on the border patrol has to patrol the points between the port
4:04 am
of entry. overwhelming situation u no greater signal that this has become a problem that is a magnet really pulling and drawing more and more caravans because one starts today in san pedro which where this started on january 15th. why things seem a bit calm here it's certainly not slowing down by any stretch of the imagination. brian: thanks a lot, griff. appreciate it we have to start some intense diplomatic work with honduras, with el salvador and guatemala to fix the problem and then just get the southern border of mexico reinforced. let's offer them some fencing since we are not using it. ainsley: if we're giving these other countries money we need to make sure the money is used wisely to fix their government. steve: ultimately the president when he goes to el paso on monday, talking about look, these people start these caravans in central america. they just walk up, ask for an application and then they because the laws are the
4:05 am
laws, and he would like to see them changed. they get to come into the united states. anyway, it sounds as if congressional negotiators are working on a deal. of the president wants $5.7 billion republicans are already saying not going to get that they are being realistic about it democrats say he is not going to get a wall. but, they say in the new budget they are proposing could have a deal by tomorrow. they will increase fencing. they call it fencing. republicans call it barriers or a wall. nonetheless, they there could be a structure standing up above the ground. ainsley: maybe the president should listen to brian build a wall on the southern border of mexico and have mexico pay for it. brian: that would be great. i do think the ballard structures will be there and i do think this. they are talking. they are not screaming at each other. yothe less you feel reports come from their meetings something is getting done as opposed to holding press conferences condemning the other side. we have all had it up to our
4:06 am
ears condemning the other side. steve: remember the slogan virginia is for lovers now virginia is for losers. features these three top democrats here at the top you have the governor northam, he is involved in the blackface controversy because last week he apologized for being in the picture. and then the next day he said you know what that's not me. ainsley: started with the abortion issue. brian: did admit to wearing blackface and do the moon walk which his wife stopped him from doing. steve: there is no image of that lieutenant governor fairfax sexual assault he said it was consensual. the democrat attorney general came out yesterday and said when i was at the university of virginia i appeared in blackface although the "new york times" in their headlines referred to him appearing in dark makeup. they have since marked it back. that was inappropriate. should have been blackface instead. republican by the name of
4:07 am
kurt cox he is next in line to be the governor. he wound up getting that job because it was so close they drew his name out of a fish bowl. brian: wow. by the way ed gillespie accused of being a racist by northam because he ran an ad with ms-13 in it ed gillespie was the runner up. the republican representative. steve: that was a super pac. brian: attorney general mark herring said. this first he told northam to resign because of the black it's face picture and saying it's a ku klux klan guy in his yearbook. and then a couple days later oops, i might have done it too. 1980, undergrad some friend suggested we attend a party dressed like rappers we listen to. because of our ignorance and glib attitudes and did not understand the situation for experience of others we dressed up and put on wigs and brown makeup. is that a good enough apology in the standards we have all set. ainsley: lawrence jones who is a fox news contributor. he was on and talking about how democrats treated judge kavanaugh and now how
4:08 am
democrats are treating this ordeal in the state of virginia. he says to the democrats they made their beds, now they have to lie in it. listen. >> the democrats started this whole mob mentality of calling people out and not allowing due process to happen. and so now you have to deal with the people that are in your party. and this is what i always told people from the very beginning. there is no party that owns racism. there is going to be people in every single party that is going to do things that we don't like. we should all call them out. the problem is with democrats, if they -- they have tried to say it's just a republican. it's only the republicans that are racist. they use it during every single election. now it's coming to bite their tail off. steve: keep in mind, the reason we have found out some of these things, particularly about mr. fairfax is because apparently the governor northam was because of his stand regarding birthday abortions. babies born on their
4:09 am
birthday he explained in that now infamous radio interview there would be a conversation between the mother and the doctor about whether or not to terminate the pregnancy which had already been terminated because the baby was born. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian who has headlines for you. jillian: we continue to follow sad news. a police officer and marine veteran with three tours is killed in the line of duty. matthew whitner shot while serving a warrant in milwaukee. fellow officers, firefighters, and the community lining the streets to salute the fallen hero. the milwaukee bucks holding a moment of silence before last night's game. one person is under arrest. officer ritner is the third milwaukee officer killed in the last eight month. the decorated officer leaves behind wife and son. seventh officer killed in the line of duty this year. a true miracle in turkey overnight. a 5-year-old girl is pulled from rubble 18 hours after an apartment building collapsed. look at this video. officials carrying the child to safety on a stretcher.

4:17 am
could happen even after a baby was born, the fact that we're even debating it is so appalling it's pure evil and we should certainly be able to come together across the aisle to protect babies. steve: congresswoman you had harsh words for the democrats yesterday at a press conference with your leadership. you said democrats would turn maternity wards into killing fields. explain that. >> yeah. you know, i think it is as a mother of five babies, you realize how precious every human life is. i was really struck by governor northam's cold clinical description of killing a baby essentially after the baby is born. and i think that when you look at the language in these bills in new york and virginia in particular and look at the incentives in those bills and look at the regulations that are lifted, the extent to which abortion would be unregulated outside of hospitals, that benefits planned parenthood. those bills may not say planned parenthood but they
4:18 am
are very much targeted to benefiting planned parenthood. so on top of the evil of killing babies after they are born, you are doing it for profit for planned parenthood. so it is just an appalling situation and i certainly hope that the mothers on both sides of the aisle, the women on both sides of the aisle, that all of us as americans will come together to say this should never happen. steve: until last week i didn't realize that the state i live n new jersey right now they have got one of these bills, one of these late-term abortion bills. i have looked at the polling. a majority of americans are not in favor of these things. >> well, i mean, and, you know, i think for all of us, steve, it goes beyond polling and politics. the question is whether or not we are going to stand by and allow evil to exist in our society. it is pure evil and i think those of us who are elected have an absolute obligation to stand up and defend the unborn, defend life, and the idea that we have to debate whether or not we are going to kill babies after they are born is just -- there is

that's socialism. one could make the case that space force is socialism. there is not -- and i also think there is an issue with the definition. democratic socialism, no one is talking about state ownership of private enterprise. it's talking about a certain way of arranging our social safety net and things like that. brian: but the governor will got will be in control of that here is your money, go to preschool. here is your money go, to college. here is your money, go get your health done. jason, you might embrace this and it might be the dumbest thing in the world. gallup does a poll asked 18 to 29-year-olds 51% looked at socialism positively. looked at the same group capitalism only 45% view capitalism positively. maybe these candidates, jason, are doing it right? >> no, i absolutely think they are. i think, first of all, as was already pointed out, the idea that we're talking about full-on socialism where the community takes control of the means of production is not really

what people are talking about. what we want is an expansion of the welfare state and we have elements of socialism that already work in our society. brian: true. >> if somebody doesn't like socialism then tell your grandpa he doesn't get his social security check. brian: which you pay into. >> which you pay into. i really believe that people, you know, young people particularly millennials are not really scared of the s-word anymore. >> can i jump in here just very quickly. brian: don't you think they should be scared of it because america is a land that says give me the opportunity to be successful, don't give me a check just because i was born like cory booker wants to give me? >> look, i think there is a significant distinction between want ago stronger safety net and wanting some level of economic fairness whether it is fair trade or affordable healthcare. those are two things, for example, president trump actually highlighted in the state of the union. brian: true. >> i think there is a
4:30 am
significant difference. i don't think those kind of things like medicare and social security should be something to fear. but i do think that when you are creating an environment where competition is not rewarded and where people are taking all of your money and taking away choice, nobody wants that. you know, including the people that identify as democrats in my opinion. brian: if you don't address it you are not going to win. what candidate so far makes you the most comfortable real quick, roger? >> i'm going to wait for the field to fill out more. i don't have anyone that currently grabs me particularly strongly. brian: bloomberg is pushing back on the socialism tendency so is howard schultz. do you have a sense of what's happening there, jason? >> well, i tell you the ones that i'm not looking for and that's people like schultz and bloomberg who have all kinds of troubles. i think all of them are pretty much the other candidates many of the same thing. we will see how it shapes up. brian: we will see how they handle socialism. guys thank you. appreciate it 30 minutes

>> donald trump gave his second and final state of the union address. president trump spoke with all the elegance of a book report written by a 3rd grader on the bus. this was not a particularly good speech. but what it lacked in qualities it made up in length. >> america is everywhere you want to be ba ba ba ba ba, i'm loving it. >> you all just witnessed
4:35 am
the super bowl of state of the union speeches. i was clear, i was concise, i was articulatee. >> there you have the late night host how they covered the state of the union address. for our coverage of this bring in michael loftus comedian and founder of the michael loftus party. usually see him in l.a. and today is he on the ship. >> it's crazy like the starship enterprise used to my closet in los angeles code words and getting in. brian: you came out a year ago and admitted that you voted for donald trump. >> yep. brian: few other comedians went on the deplorable tour. we want to go back to a time when the late night shows were fair and balanced. they insulted everybody. it doesn't seem like they are doing that. >> it's never coming back. brian: what do you think about the little swath and example that we just showed you. >> it was completely horrible. i give them all a d for lack of effort. and likes they are allowed to hire writers. they are allowed to do.
4:36 am
brian: a lot of the writers. >> everybody did a lousy trump impression. it was all so predictable and boring. and just, wow. at least fallon did a bit. i will give fallon credit. at least he did a little skit. steve: he got dressed up. as a professional comedian yourself, isn't it bad for business if you're only -- doesn't it limit your business if you only appeal to about half the country? wouldn't it be better to be like johnny carson and appeal to everybody? >> absolutely. and it's stunning that of all these late night shows everybody is attacking it from the same angle. i have never seen anything like this. if you go to a comedy club and five comics have a joke about their dog. there is going to be five different jokes and five different angles. steve: still about your dog. >> this is like everyone bashing trump and just bashing completely. so, i don't think it's about comedy. i don't think it's about entertainment they know a huge portion of the country isn't watching and they don't care. i literally think they are trying to win hearts and
4:37 am
minds. brian: jay leno didn't do it that way. fair and balanced insulter. johnny carson was friends with ronald reagan but make fun of them their audience is basically made up of just anti-trumpers. if you look at nancy pelosi. there is no comedy there. there is all these women dressed in white. there is no comedy there. all the socialism issues. the other issues that have been brought up. there are issues that you could write about. >> that's when you know the fix is in. when you have nancy pelosi signatures back there sucking on her tooth like the winning lottery numbers are about to come popping out holding on to these four giant card like she just stole the menus from an outback steak house. no one is going to make fun -- no one is going to touch? ainsley: johnny carson. every time i am home my dad says where are the johnny carsons of comedy. >> they are not allowed to participate. they don't want a funny voice on the right. that's why like the deplorable show that i'm doing is really important. like we have got to support
4:38 am
this endeavor. there is creative people and we don't have that outlet. ainsley: the governor of new mexico, she is protesting president trump by. brian: you are already laughing. steve: this is hilarious. ainsley: watch this video and we'll talk about it? >> i'm michelle lieu grisham 49th in employment and 50th for schools. we have got to bust through some walls to make changes. i will create public and private partnerships to rebuild our infrastructure. and here's what i think of trump's wall. ainsley: the kids are like. steve: that's funny. >> it's hilarious for all the wrong reasons. all she needs is a giant kool-aid pitcher, right? dressed up little arms flailing. that will show them knocking down those walls and you know she had to get insurance. she probably hurt her little shoulder. i feel bad for her. brian: it does make news? >> it does because it's hilarious. i can watch that all day.
4:39 am
leave it on a loop. that is more entertaining than what colbert did. ainsley: i imagine her shooting that her whole staff is dying laughing. steve: you know, michael, her base, the people who like her think that is just right up their alley. they go, yep, that's my governor. >> i don't think they do. [laughter] i think they hang their head in shame that's my governor. that's horrible. steve: i think it's funny. >> i'm laughing with you. i wish they would have put a real wall down there and done the wiley coyote. steve: two fake walls and then boom, bring wall. >> 1, 2, 3. perfect. steve: if you would lining more information about your deplorables tour. >> deplorables show.com. steve: that's easy. brian: if you were stuck in a studio you couldn't do this but now that you are here would you toss to jillian like you are an anchor. >> my goodness i have no idea.
4:40 am
>> jill i'm behind you. >> you ruined the allusion. >> jillian. hook me up with some news, momma. jillian: let's do that. a judge upholtsdz the conviction of the woman who persuaded her boyfriend to kill himself when they were teens. you remember this story? michelle carter and lawyers say they will consider appealing to the u.s. supreme court. carter sentenced to 5 months behind bars after convincing conrad roy to commit suicide through text messages in 2014. massachusetts district attorney is expected to ask a court to send her to jail now that the states high court has ruled. a construction worker left hanging by his fingertips. look at that after scaffolding sundayly collapses. this terrifying video shows a man dangling from a building in texas. after several minutes he safely pulled him several up to the roof. three people hurt in the collapse. including a woman on the street hit by fallen debris. unclear what caused the scaffolding to break. he is a lucky man.
4:41 am
and how about this? a mother literally calls for back up in a fashion emergency. listen to it. >> do you have an emergency? >> i don't have an emergency. i'm outside the door. do you have an officer who knows how to tie a tie? >> she needed help with her son's she drove to her sheriff's office in florida. a 911 dispatcher came to the residue and helped the family out. they always say don't call 911 if it's not an emergency but it did end on a good note. >> that's so funny. steve: this is why they invented casual friday no neckties. ainsley: how many times have you ever tried to do that and have to google. especially the tuxedo tie and google and flip it over. steve: true story in the 1980s i was at a black tie event and guy sitting across the table from me said is that true worst looking tie i have ever seen. he offered to come behind me and tie the necktie. it was t. boone pick kens. i had my wife take a picture
4:42 am

coming in to the united states are scanned to make certain they are not bringing in narcotics, weapons, or people. steve: yes, democratic senator dick durbin one of the anti-wall advocates on congress insisting that a physical border or a barrier or a wall not necessary. technology is. brian: although he did bring that deal with lindsey graham 25 billion for a wall a year ago. this comes as a report from capitol hill says negotiators may be closer to a deal. but that deal may include money only for a barrier not a wall. but i think the president understands that. ainsley: here to react is congressman jim jordan ranking member of the house oversight and reform committee and member of the house judiciary committee. thank you so much for being with us. we wanted -- congressman, we wanted to ask you about this because now democrats, some of the folks that were anti-wall now they are saying it's a regional crisis down there. first they said no crisis and now they are saying regional crisis but not a national emergency. what's your response? >> that's crazy. i mean, just last week we had a drug best enough
4:47 am
fentanyl to kill 57 million americans and they are saying that's a regional concern? not a national emergency? everyone knows this is a national emergency. what are we on now the fifth caravan i think? steve: yeah. >> you had to watch the several months to know this is an emergency. the president knows it. this is why he was elected central issue. he said the other night in a great speech he is committed to getting the wall built. that's what we have got to do. brian: henry cuellar says i think there is a path forward but people need to understand we are not going to be able to give the president $5.7 billion. i'm telling you it's no way. so is there a number in between that the freedom caucus and jim jordan would be okay with. >> yeah. we will look at it but you have to understand what we are dealing with today. 10 years ago all the democrats were exactly for what we are for. what the american people want. most importantly what the president campaigned on and won on. we need a border security wall. look at their positions blumenauer got to abolish
4:48 am
ice. their campaign borderless hem miss year 10 years ago she said we need money for a barrier and money for a wall. stacy abrams do the state of the union address three weeks ago stacey abrams said it's okay if non-citizens vote. they have taken the most radical positions their party has ever taken and still we might get an agreement shows persistence and willingness to negotiate the president has displayed. hopefully we get there we have to wait and see. steve: item in the "the washington post" that says apparently the democrats have said why could increase money for fencing but no wall. clearly, you know, they just tonight want to give the president any sort of something that would even approach a win for him. >> that could be it. i guess that's probably where they are coming from. just a purely political perspective. if they could get past this idea of stopping the president and getting on with what the president talked about the other night helping the country, we could get there and it does include a border security wall like i said. they were for it before. but that seems to be the problem. when you take -- i mean, pelosi herself has said
4:49 am
walls are immoral. i did a tweet the other day and i said if walls are immoral, where is your legislation, madam speaker? where is your legislation to actually take down the wall between tijuana and san diego? so their positions are entirely inconsistent because they are focused on one thing. stopping the president. let's focus on helping the country. we do that, i think we can get an agreement and do what the country knows needs to happen which is a border security wall. brian: what do people tell you is happening behind closed doors. shelby says there is substantive talks. tell us what you think. >> i talked to tom grayson on the conference committee yesterday. he seems to think they are making some progress. i said can you get to an agreement he said you know the answer we all expect he doesn't know. they will keep trying. the president has, i think, displayed amazing amounts of patience and willingness to negotiate. we have to see. steve: ultimately though he said if he has to, he will do it alone. jim jordan thank you for joining us today from statuary hall. >> thank you.

he says facebook business model threat to democracy. brian: still investor in facebook explains it all and offers solutions to stop it in brand new book zuck, education of unlikely activist roger mcnamee, welcome. first off, people are saying wait a second, you were there. why did you leave the facebook monster? what pushed you out? >> so, brian, it's really, really simple. this is too much of a good thing. any business that gets to be really large and really successful has to recognize that it has responsibilities to the people it serves and to the countries in which it lives. and the problem at facebook very simply put is that they now cover everyone in the world. they have more active users than there are members of christianity. and when you are at that scale, you have to be a good citizen. they have political power that is unaccountable. they dominate the public square in every single country in which they operate. and it's become a problem everywhere. outside interference in
4:55 am
elections. all kinds of issues for people going on. and my basic point here is we do need to take this very seriously and think about how we want our country to work and what sort of influences should be there. i think voters should determine outcomes of elections, not technology companies run by one person. ainsley: roger, if you look at the numbers, it's pretty amazing. 3.32 billion monthly active users. >> exactly. ainsley: 1.5 billion daily active users. up 9% from december of 2017. you say they are interfering witinterferingwith elections. they were manipulating all of us. there is a section in your book relating to individuals can do. can you answer what do we need to do to make sure we are not manipulated? >> here is the really important thing to recognize it is going on is the first step. and to recognize that you do not need to give them as much attention as you give them today. i thought about myself. listen, i was as addicted as anybody. i love these products. i was deeply involved. and i still like using facebook.

5:06 am
ainsley: another viewer writes, bob massi, sad to hear he has died. for his family, i'm a faceless stranger. one who remembers mr. massey as one who helped people realize their dreams, keep their homes. a good man. steve: james said, bob massi was almost family. we will definitely miss him. that restaurant he loved so much was ferrari's. one of the things he told me when i was out there having the world's longest lunch with him, he had brought all of his children houses but there was caveat. and that was, buy you a house you have to live in my neighborhood, we want you to be home with us. ainsley: he wasn't just a property man, he was a family man. steve: indeed. ainsley: that is good idea, i will start saving. hayden, you will live next to me. steve: a family man, patriot and wonderful friend. bob massi. rest in peace, bob.

set to launch in october this year. wow, sounds tough. back to you guys. brian: tougher. jillian: tougher. steve: thanks, jillian. the president of the united states is actually in attendance at the washington hilton. you see one of the cochairs, chris coons, sitting right next to the vice president and the second lady. the president is expected to make comments within the half hour. we will take you live to washington to hear what he has to say to the national prayer breakfast. meanwhile let's talk a little bit about this. sounds if the negotiators, 17 congressional negotiators, republicans, democrats, senators, congressman -- they had a meeting. and apparently what they were able to do is they feel like they are closer, but, it is not exactly what the president wanted. he wanted $5.7 billion. republicans say he will not get that. democrats saying he will not get a wall. he might get increase in fencing
5:10 am
which for him would be a win. brian: 17 bipartisan bicameral lawmakers talking behind closed doors. the president wants to make sure there is barrier there. he backed off the fact it will be israeli model. he knows the people at the border, really like the bollard fencing. richard shelby says this. we're dealing in substance now. something we've not done before. steve polazzo, mississippi republican. what can they do that the president will accept. henry cuellar meeting with border patrol officials. recommended 5.7 billion. they are still on president's message. i think there is a path forward. people need to understand we'll not be able to give them all the 5.7 billion. ainsley: depends who you talk to on the committee of 17 lawmakers. some are hoping for a deal tomorrow. patrick leahy saying we didn't learn anything in yesterday's meeting we didn't already know. you have republican richard
5:11 am
shelby saying we're much closer than we were on monday. hopefully they come up with a deal. mick mulvaney says if they don't come up with the deal, the president will do this in the legal executive authority way. he could get money. sean hannity, said they will start judge shopping. here the president just arrived at the national prayer breakfast. we'll listen to him in just a minute. brian: he looks all fired up for this. ainsley: probably in a good mood after state of the union address. ratings look good. steve: wonder what he talks about. he will clearly talk about faith and things like that that you would at the national prayer brake fast. undoubtedly will talk about the immigration problem and the problem at the southern bored he. the big question is, whatever the conference committee, he is shaking hands with democrat chris coons, whether or not he will sign it. if it is not close enough for him, he may not. the other major player in this though is nancy pelosi and
5:12 am
apparently nancy pelosi said she is willing to support any compromise on border security this committee is able to produce. she is urging the white house to do the same. ultimately the president is the decider whether or not he will sign it. for us to hear nancy pelosi saying i'm good what whatever they come out with, that is quite a statement. brian: nita lowey in charge of this, i was told, everything is on the table. i appreciated that mind-set going in. a lot of people there are tired of this. even though people are saying who won the shutdown after 34 days? nobody won the shutdown. everybody lost. and people most vulnerable were the ones still trying to catch up on their bills today. ainsley: no one wants another shutdown. we'll find out on the 15th. steve: we saw a moment ago, mt. is standing with james lankford, senator from oklahoma. he is one of the cochairs.

thought he could be more amenable to some of the things done. keep in mind too he had dinner with reverend jeffries. i don't know if that got him ready for the speech today. ainsley: evangelicals like the fact he has done so much for the courts. many went to the polls for him because of the supreme court judge appointments. we've seen that play out with the third term abortion issue coming up today. steve: promised throughout the candidacy and presidency to protect christianity. more on that. president very shortly going to take the stage. brian: meanwhile the state of virginia in political turmoil this morning in every sense of the world. embattled lieutenant governor lawyering up with brett kavanaugh's law firm. ainsley: the attorney general now admitted to wearing black face. steve: ellison barber joins us from richmond where, i would imagine, i was listening to some sound bites from people down
5:19 am
there in richmond, they're horrified that the top three lawmakers are embroiled in this kind of a controversy. reporter: senator mark warner called this an awful week for the state of virginia. that seems to sum it up pretty well for most people here. this is an awful week for the state of virginia. it is not over yet. seems hike things could get worse before they get better. the top three democrats in the state of virginia are engulfed in scandals centered around racism and allegations of sexual assault. attorney general mark herring released a statement acknowledging that he once dressed in black face, he said in 1980 as a 19-year-old. he and friends went to a party dressed as popular rappers. it sounds ridiculous writing it, because of our ignorance and glib attitudes and didn't have appreciation and perspective for others we dressed up to put on wigs and brown makeup. after that dr. vanessa tyson detailed her 2004 sexual assault
5:20 am
allegation against lieutenant governor justin fairfax. mr. fairfax tried to brand me as liar to national audience in service to his political ambitions, threatened litigation. given his false assertions. what was consensual kissing quickly turned into a sexual assault. he accuses fairfax of forting her to perform. that is what fairfax says it was. this encounter was consensual, that dr. tyson's story is not the truth. in a statement the lieutenant governor said while this allegation has been both surprising and hurtful, i recognize that no one makes charges of this kind lightly i take it and the situation very seriously. steve, brian, ainsley? steve: ellison barber live in richmond. ainsley: the president slamming socialism during the state of the union. our next guest fled socialist

[cheers and applause] steve: well, at least half the chamber stood up for that. our next guest knows first-hand what could happen if democratic socialists get their way.
5:25 am
her parents are cuban political refugees. brian: joining us now former florida gop candidate marie salazar. do you think the president was simplifying things too much when he said that? or is there legitimate concern in this country people don't understand where we're heading? >> oh, thank you. he should have said more. what do you mean? he should have said more. we have to be very concerned, one of the major parties, political parties in this country is trying to glorify the benefits of socialism. socialism is one of the most perverse and evil systems the human race has ever known besides slavery. what are you telling me? what i hear people like congresswoman ocasio-cortez saying that we got to create democratic socialism, i mean democratic socialism that is pretty word they're trying to put in front of socialism trying to cover up the misery and problems socialism bring to
5:26 am
people. ainsley: 40% of the democrats think it's a good idea. what is your message to them? what does socialism look like? >> they drank the kool-aid. i'm not mincing words. i live in miami where we have millions and millions of venezuelans, cubans, nicaraguans escaped the system. the history is there for to you see. ainsley: what is it like. give us an example. >> i give you an example. socialism takes away destroys the concept you reap what you sew. it destroys the concept you are responsible for your actions. it destroys wealth for those that want to produce it to the benefit of society. gives away the wealth to those that did not earn it or deso i it. socialism destroys the human being and the social and initiative of doing anything. if you give everything to somebody, then that person doesn't want to really do anything. that is what, that is what i'm saying, they drank the kool-aid. when i hear that the new face of
5:27 am
the democratic party is congresswoman ocasio-cortez, i repeat, i'm sure she has great intentions, that she wants best for the country but she has no idea, no idea what she is really advocating for. she drank the kool-aid like bernie sanders senator, said a few years ago venezuela created the socialist paradise. steve: you know. i understand your point of view, maria, speaking of bernie sanders, one of the reasons he was so popular in 2016 running for president right on the heels of hillary clinton was the fact that there were so many americans who don't have anything and they like his message, you know what? you don't have health care. we'll get you health care. you can't go to college. we'll get you into college. we'll give all the things a wealthy nation like ours should be able to provide for you. i don't know if it is so much drinking the kool-aid as much as it is a lot of people who need stuff and that message is very potent for them. >> i agree with you.
5:28 am
and being capitalist and conservative does not mean being cool. we want to help the poor. we want to help people go to school. but we got to give them the opportunity to do it, that is the most capitalism can do for you. level the playing field so you can have the same chances and opportunity as anybody else to make it. and if you're in need, we'll give you temporary aid until you get out of need. the moment you start giving handouts, it was proven during the great society, lyndon johnson, the more you give handouts, make them parasites of society, they do, less they come out of that state that is really bad for the human soul. i'm not saying we're being cruel. i'm not saying that we don't have to help people, i'm not saying that everybody doesn't deserve health care, we have to see who will pay for it, how will the system provide it without taking incentive from those that produce the wealth, to create that wealth.
5:29 am
1% of the country, this country, pays 99% of the taxes. the one percent, richest people, pay 99% of the taxes. i'm not in that group. i'm sure probably millions of people that are watching me are not either. but we don't want to change that system because then otherwise we're going to have a classless society, one society. one class, the poor one. brian: horrible one percents, freeloaders. the problem we have so many social programs we can't afford them. we're $21 trillion in debt. candidates are running. everything is free. free college, free health care. >> that is a lie. venezuela, venezuela is on the news, been on the news the whole month because they really tried medicare for all. they tried to erase income inequality. it has been tried. my parents had to flee or escape from that socialist paradise.
5:30 am
there is history to prove it. ainsley: thank you so much. >> good to see you. sure. brian: straight ahead, elizabeth warren under fire from native heritage an claims. turns out they're true. are there more troubling documents to come? dane at that lash will give her take next. ainsley: president is set to speak at the national prayer breakfast in a few minutes. we'll bring it to you live. in the country.
5:32 am
5:33 am
steve: we're still waiting for the president of the united states. as you can see he is screen left. he is going to be speaking there at the national prayer breakfast. james lankford, the senator from the great state of oklahoma is sitting right next to him, closest to the podium and he will be the man who introduces the president once they do that, we will take you there live. also, our last guest just a moment ago, mentioned that she
5:34 am
thought 1% paid 99% of the taxes. according to the tax, tax foundation.org it is closer 1% pay about 45% of the taxes. brian: which is still unbelievable. that is a huge number. bring in dana loesch, nationally syndicated radio show host. as we await for the president to take the podium. fascinate about elizabeth warren. turns out all the allegations are true. from the '80s, listing as knave tiff american, going to from university of pennsylvania to university of texas but said it didn't help her get anywhere in life. >> didn't help get her anywhere in life, she was identified as first woman of color at harvard law. this isn't the first time she was said she was first something. didn't she say when she was,
5:35 am
new jersey bar association, that she was the first nursing mother or something insane? her entire career has been trying to present herself as this marginalized individual, marginalized by society, marginalized by status quo, as a way to advance herself. the fact that she wrote this in her own hand and identified herself as this repeatedly and in the sound bite you were showing a little earlier, how she said, there could be actually more documentation out there, because that's just what i did is insane. democrats have a real problem with appropriating race right now. ainsley: did you notice when they did ask her are there other documents? was it just the university of texas? were there any other documents? she didn't say yes or no listen to her response. >> this was about 30 years ago and, i am not a tribal citizen. my brothers, our mom and our
5:36 am
dads and brothers sisters, told family stories. >> are there any other more documents that you listed yourself as? >> this is who i grew up believing, with my brothers. this is our family story. it is important to note i am not a tribal citizen and i should have been more mindful of the distinction with tribal citizenship and tribal sovereignty. ainsley: that screams to me, yes there are more documents. she didn't want to answer that. >> of course, exactly what it sounds like, ainsley, there are more documents out there. i love how she is trying to employ rhetoric here. i feel badly that i gave the impression that i was identifying as a citizen of a sovereign nation. steve: right. >> the whole accusation is she is appropriating an entire ethnicity. you can appropriate an ethnicity, intimate you are member of a tribal nation, which is what she did.
5:37 am
now she is trying to parse that out. democrats have a huge problem right now. the socialist wave, anti-semitism they have raging within their party, apparently also appropriating everybody else's race either for fun or for personal advancement. they have to have some soul-searching here. brian: she presented herself as minority association at american law schools directty in 84. in 1984 her name appeared in a cookbook by her cousin, pow-wow chow. she went to university of texas and officially changed her status. wound up in harvard in 1995 but didn't help her get anywhere in life. >> no, it doesn't. neither her reportedly pagerrized recipes in the pow-wow cookbook. how do you plagarize a cookbook? >> don't ask me. brian: what are you saying? ainsley: steve has a cookbook. >> a good one.
5:38 am
steve: people are talking about that, regarding her heritage, but at the same time, people are not really talking about the fact while she is about to run for president as a democrat, she is going to have the announcement on saturday, as recently as i believe 1996 she was a registered republican? >> oh, gosh. you know, there are some bad republicans in the bunch as well. she went over and became a democrat. all i know, i don't care what party she is, this woman who is a, well, she was a democrat front-runner. i don't know how you can still be with that. her announcement on saturday is an exercise in vanity. this woman, let's not forget she refused to meet with actual native americans and people in leadership positions with sovereign nations. she refused to meet with them while all of this was happening. this has been like, 10, 15 years this has gone on. she ran from it, until she can run from it no longer. it was boston media that popped her on it.
5:39 am
at this point i think she proved, this is, how -- rachel dolezal, you're the democrats rachel dolezal, you're too crazy for office. we have enough crazy in d.c. we don't need anymore. steve: looks like she will formally announce on saturday. we'll see how that goes. dana, thank you of the. brian: the wind is at her back. ainsley: jillian has more news. jillian: manhunt for a person who murdered a woman standing in her driveway. she was shot in point-blank range. the suspect got away in a black truck. police don't know if it was a man or woman. barazzo was trying to raise money for anniversary trip with her husband. 20,000-dollar reward for information about her murder. gucci is apologizing for this sweater which resemble

5:42 am
ice storm warnings in the purple and blizzard warnings for parts of the upper midwest. want to say anybody at home? >> hi to our daughter, stacy, in casper, wyoming. janice: say hi to governor huckabee and give me a hug. ainsley: they match. they're twins. i love couples like that. janice: i love you guys. steve: jd, thank you. meanwhile south of the border, thousands of migrants are lining up trying to get into the united states. we learned there is a new caravan starts today. hundreds of miles south of that one. griff live in mexico coming up next. brian: moments from now, president trump speaks at the national prayer breakfast. first james lankford will speak. i should stop talking now. and m damage.

5:47 am
police. really it has been a pretty amazing job, this last few days. they have been here since monday, to see, at least one mexican state trying to stop migrants, contain them, stop crossing into the u.s. trying to get a handle who is in this actual caravan. we spoke with the man in charge of doing, coordinating all of it, the secretary of security for the state, this is louis corona. here is what he had to say. >> it is important to us our state keeps us safe. that is why we have them here. of course respecting all the human rights, respecting all the needs they want, giving them all the support. reporter: yeah, meanwhile on the u.s. side in eagle pass texas, along the del rio sector, border
