3:01 am
belief in the glory of god and the power of prayer. ♪ baby ♪ why don't you just meet me in the middle ♪ i'm losing my mind. brian: can they cut a deal? sing about it in the end. steve: sounds like they are really close. coming down to two issues, the border wall, barrier and the number of detention beds. the president wants more wall and less beds. we are going to talk to somebody who is actually on the negotiating team in our b block in about 10 minutes. in the meantime we have to talk about how alexandria ocasio-cortez, who, as you know, is lighting up every television screen these days. she has come out with a new way to overhaul and make the world better. it is her green new deal. if you missed the announcement yesterday, listen to this. we have lots to say about
3:02 am
it. >> today is also the day that we choose to assert ourselves as a global leader in transitioning to 100 percent renewable energy and charting that path. we should do it because we are a country founded on ideals of a culture that is innovative, that cares for our brothers and sisters across this country. we should do it because we are an example to the world. this is such a major watershed moment and i am so incredibly excited that we are going to transition this country into the future and we are not going to be dragged behind by our past. ainsley: see what the future looks like. steve: sounds great. sounds terrific. ainsley: no more airplanes. you have to take a train now. brian: now all those miles on jetblue what am i going to do with them? ainsley: throw them away. steve: more cars and get rid of combustion engines and things like this.
3:03 am
brian: my prelude engine already died. steve: doggone it. it was combustion engine they had to get rid of it in 10 years anyway. here are some of her plans. ainsley: 100 percent clean and renewable energy. fossil fuels wiping out millions of jobs. brian: 100 percent right away. oil and gas just stop drilling. you heard me pull out all of that stuff. enough with the fossil -- i have been saying this for the longest time so tired of the oil and gas. get rid of nuclear power too because it burns too clean. natural gas that also burns clean. we have got to get rid of that because we are the world's dominance in that. ensure prosperity and economic security for all. that's easy. and then clean air, water, and access to nature for all. steve: also, upgrade all existing buildings in the united states to make them more green and more energy efficient. brian: one by one. steve: get rid of airplanes, essentially because.
3:04 am
ainsley: build trains over oceans. steve: that's fast as long as there is rail. brian: should we stop fixes laguardia because we have been rebuilding it for five and a half years. steve: they are building a new terminal. they're not really fixing. ainsley: change the way you heat your home and cook your food. replacing air travel with planes. your honor nice all jowbs. guarantee income for all even those who don't want to work. quit your job why would we wake u early and go to work when the condition country is going to pay for us. brian: time to slaughter all the cows. ainsley: no more meat because of what they do for the environment. brian: exactly. steve: this is her plan to overhaul virtually every aspect of life as we know it over the next 10 years. it would be great if that could happen, is it realistic? listen to this guy. one of the senior editors at the federalist david harr sannie. >> we would dismantle
3:05 am
society to get this done. this would cost 25 ba zillion dollars to go into every single house and change the water cooling system, the heating. give up your car. retrofit everything. it is just immature. something like someone in high school would write. it's not real. it can't be legislation. it's not serious. i'm not sure why presidential candidates need to feel the need to support. brian: almost every one on the democratic side presidential candidates. what about all those legislators behind the 28-year-old from new york city who later on would want top abolish ice and that day was leading the world. leading the party when it comes to green energy. revamping the entire economy and america as we know it by the way, quickly, at least give the people on the right some notice they have some time to get off the island, i don't know if we can get a train from california to hawaii. ainsley: if you are going to vote for one of these candidates, just know they
3:06 am
are backing this deal. they back the green new deal. have you senator cory booker, senator elizabeth warren, you have senator gill brand. senator kamala harris, senator bernie sanders and i can't read that. >> governor inslee. steve: it would be sponsored by senator markey of the great state of massachusetts. but, nonetheless, this would mean that every democrat in washington, d.c. would have to go on the record in favor of abolishing air travel, outlawing states, forcing all homeowners to retrofit their houses. put every miner, oil rigger and gas station attendant. ainsley: rebuild every building in the united states. steve: that's a quote from kimberley strassel in the "wall street journal." when it comes to nancy pelosi, the speaker regarding this green new deal whatever they call it she said this yesterday to politico.
3:07 am
ainsley: she said it will be one of several or maybe many suggestion we receive. she is not really packing it the green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they are for it, right? brian: senator mazdaio hirono was in a quandary, i'm sure she is environmentalist. ainsley: she is the one from hawaii. brian: problem is she happens to represent an island surrounded by water which islands usually are will will will an island. i was raised on an island, long: i don't think they can swim from california to hawaii. senator mazday hirono, here she is. >> one of the things was to try to eliminate air travel and build high speed rail all across the country. and is some of the stuff feasible. >> that would be pretty hard for hawaii. ainsley: maybe some changes would need to be made. steve: all these ideas, many of them don't exist yet.
3:08 am
i mean, it's physics we haven't figured out how to do things like this when it comes to sustainable energy. it would be great if the wind and sun were able to power everything. given the battery technology we are just not there yet. ainsley: when she gave the details to npr and gave the frequently asked questions. she said no more fossil fuels. we will eliminate the airplanes, we are banning nuclear energy. the legislative materials say something different. brian: quickly took a lot of it down after she broke this story on npr. steve: while david harsani said it would cost 25 ba zillion dollars. she was asked about it yesterday. the fact she'd says should not worry the federal reserve can extend credit and new public banks can be credited to extend credit. ainsley: they asked her how you will pay for it she said shared prosperity. those who work will pay for those who choose not to work
3:09 am
and then stanford had a study, $13.4 trillion they say it will cost. steve: when you say shared prosperity, to some people that reminds them of socialism where the society owns everything everybody works for the society because everything in that government is owned by everybody. the president of the united states at the state of the union said the united states would never be a socialist country. half of the hall stood up and applauded but the other half sat on their hands. brian: we know whdon't know why. steve: we do know why. had this to say about socialism and shared things. >> we heard paul ryan and when he was speaker say harks r., hey, now that we have won this big tax give away to the richest americans, we have to dismantle the social programs.
3:10 am
what they refer to as entitlements. i call them programs earned and very smart programs for our seniors. and i support those. and the president wants to tear those apart. >> you don't see that as socialism, right? in terms of the word, obviously? it's a word of significance. >> well, it is a society coming together to increase the standard of living of our seniors and that is pretty much the definition and the president's attacking it. brian: fantastic. that is an interesting definition of socialism. i think venezuela is a definition of socialism as they scurry to find anything on their shelves and bankruptcy as we try to put aid in there it's also important to see who is lining up behind this and who is not. nancy pelosi is pretty much distancing herself from this and said it's a green dream which aoc said i think it is a dream. it is a dream. i just don't understand how all those other legislators who spent their careers in washington coming up with
3:11 am
practical programs that maybe have a chance at passage would sit there and allow this 28-year-old with a lot of charisma and a lot of poise and talent with a deal like, this how could they put their careers on the line in backing this? how can people put their candidacy on the line in backing this? they are not running on this. they are running on a 28-year-old's vision who won by 14,000 votes in a small area of new york city on the future of the country. ainsley: how many times were we interviewing people how did doo democrats define themselves? they were all over the map and coming up with different slogans and changing their slogans and have ao color. wins and she the democratic darling. and they see this as a way they can win. steve: changes have happened through time but incrementally the whole idea with this green dream or whatever it is called to quote the speaker, it would not be incremental it would
3:12 am
all happen over the next 10 years. what do you think about it? it is ambitious. it might put some of you out of work. then again if you are unwilling to work you would get paid. sounds great. brian: heard of progress being no fine. undoing the wright brothers folly and then going back to trains. steve: it all comes down to figuring new ways to do it, brian. brian: old ways, old ways to do things. steve: like the old ways. brian: i'm so angry. do you know how many miles i have on delta, jillian? it's all going to go to waste. jillian: i'm dying to know this. brian: what am i going to use them for? no planes. jillian: i'm still waiting to hear how many miles you have. brian: 76,000. ainsley: that's right? brian: that will give me a free trip anywhere. ainsley: after all those fox nation trips that's all have you? jillian: tributes continual to poor in across the nation following the death of the longest serving congressman in history.

3:18 am
steve: lawmakers signaling on capitol hill potential progress on a border deal as the clock clicks down to the february 5th deadline. here with an insider look on those talks is a member of that bipartisan negotiating team tennessee republican congressman chuck fleischmann. chuck, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> sounds like what we have heard it comes down to bed and the barrier. more president for the president for the barrier and the democrats actually want fewer detention beds. is that accurate? >> that is accurate. from the inception, those were the two big issues. i was very disappointed by the original democratic proposal which had a rather drastic reduction in ice beds. that was going to be a nonstarter. so, yes. we need more ice beds. we need more money for the new barrier for the new wall. and that's where the negotiation, i think is. i think that's where it's going and i think that's where the deal is going to be made. steve: you just said barrier/wall. what else it going to be? is it going to be a wall, a
3:19 am
barrier, a fence? what's the heck is it going to be? >> maybe all of the above. i just had the opportunity this week to tour the border in mcallen and el paso and san diego. i saw a wide variety of walls, borders, which for the american people the wall is being built. it's under construction. it's going on. some on the other side are trying to create a fiction or a situation where they are trying to convince the american people that there is no wall there is a wall. we are talking about adding additional wall where it is needed and where it is wanted. steve: that would sound like a win for the president. >> yes. steve: i'm sure he would feel. we have heard, congressman, over the last couple of months some democrats would like to defund ice or give ice zero money. we heard alexandria ocasio-cortez say that yesterday in the proposal, it will have money for ice in it, right?
3:20 am
>> absolutely first of all the men and women at ice and border patrol are doing outstanding job with limited resources. they are working to keep our country safe. any word of defunding ice is political rhetoric. it's empty. the vast majority of democrats support ice and the republicans support ice. ice is going to increase and do well. steve: all right. exit question. the chances of another government shut down are, oddswise. >> anit nil or next to nil. in this situation there is no a appear tithe on either side for nor partial government shut down. when 24% of the government got shut down. it was a problem it should have never happened. if the republican bill happened in december we shouldn't have had it but it got jammed up in the senate. our situation is going to be
3:21 am
we want to keep the border safe, we want to build the wall, and we want to keep the government open. steve: all right. let's see what happens. congressman chuck fleischmann of tennessee thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: we will be right back with more in just a minute. what about this? changing your plans. yeah. run with us. search "john deere 1 series" for more. yeah. run with us. jerry♪eastbound and down.ound loaded up and truckin'♪ ♪we gonna do what they say can't be done♪ ♪we've got a long way to go ♪and a short time to get there.♪ ♪i'm eastbound, just watch ole bandit run♪

3:25 am
extreme in the nation it would allow termination up to birth for any reason. medical professionals against their will and now heads to the state senate. brian? brian: here we go. new details on the decorated navy seal accused of murdering an isis fighter in iraq. we have a myrtle judge finally dropped two charges against edward gallagher. he still faces charges of premeditated murder and aggravated assault. if convicted he could spend the rest of his life in prison. now his brother and op-ed is calling on president trump to fix what he calls a broken system. sean gallagher joins us now to go to bat for his brother. sean, happy about the two? what do we need to do to get rid of the other two charges. >> we need the intervention of the president of the united states sadly. the reason being that the two charges that have just been dropped are endemic. they are the sign of an overreach and over zealous
3:26 am
prosecution that this entire thing never should have started in the first place. just to give you an example much the two charges that were just dropped. they charged eddie for reenlisting in the navy on the battlefield. if you want to know what a real navy seal is like. if you want to know what a real warrior is like. look at someone like eddie who literally just faced down death and just had a battle with isis. in the midst of that defeating the enemy same battle he risked his life. he swears before man and god that he will do it again. that he will stand his post and defend the country. there are lawyers back home in the navy want to charge him for a war crime for that. that's honor. that's bravery when we look at that and have been saying that from the beginning. there are four charges that have been dropped over five to six month period where they have jailed eddie. at every stage we said there is a little rationality but this entire system is broken. and so that's why we are calling on the president of the united states to fix it. brian: right. this is military, right? this is military to
3:27 am
military. >> yes. brian: this happened in military court. >> yeah. brian: noble sitting in the southern district of new york. you have to wonder what's happening here. you would think in the military they would understand what your brother and others are up against. they say he was sworn in dying isis fighter. eyewitnesses testified that said this never happened and there is even photographic evidence that says this never happened. there is video and photographic evidence that says it didn't happen. plus, it's the battlefield. isn't the goal to kill isis? precisely this is precisely what we have been saying. photo and video evidence that exxonner rates or calls into questions. testimony says this never happened and isis fight literally died from a battle he was having with navy seals and then eddie gets home and a year later they charge him with this and also slander his name. so, the op-ed that i wrote to the president was telling him that the same forces that are trying to sabotage him and go after him, he knows what this is like.
3:28 am
he know what is it is like to be on this side to say all of these unsubstantiated accusations, claims that have no merit but are stated as fact against you. that's sadly the same thing happening against eddie. he had city a decorated war hero. he has been in jail for five months now. that's why we are just like, man, instead of being able to fight back i and his wife are the only one able to speak. they gagged him and his teammates. we are like this system is broken. brian: talk about how they arrested him in front of his kids, his 3rd grader. two sons a 3rd grader and another is a senior in high school. they break into his house. they take him and they put him in solitary confinement. is that the way you treat a decorated navy seal? >> it's preposterous, brian, i stawrlted my op-ed alluding to roger stone. people were upset about the raid. it happened to eddie decorated war hero to a much more extreme.
3:29 am
he is home. they hand cuff and detain him be a then go to his house. only people at home are 3rd grade and 12th grade marched out in the street with guns pointed in their face in their underwear just to raid his house to get his phones and tablets on an investigation that never should have started. and so, yeah. this treatment, it's abysmal. and the thing that we're also trying to relay here is that this is ripping the military community apart. brian: of course. >> this is morale issue. they are looking at this and saying if it can happen to eddie with his service record it can happen to me. brian: no question. keep speaking out about it. sean, you keep fighting for eddie and the president doesn't usuallilet these things go on. so hopefully he weighs in and steps up and will do a lot of good for a lot of people. sean, thanks so much and give our best to eddie. >> it's my pleasure. thank you very much. brian: straight ahead. do you remember this giant cross that washed up on the florida beach. the mystery may have just been solved. we will share it plus scandals are rocking
3:30 am
democrats in virginia. do you think so? nancy pelosi says not a big problem. >> what's going on, does that filter down and damage the national democratic brand in any way? >> no, it does not. brian: is she out of touch with the american people? we will take a closer look ♪ (burke) parking splat. and we covered it. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪

3:34 am
these now. steve: thanks to social media the first one went viral and now everybody is doing it is right behind it. ainsley: his son is so proud of his dad and dad is so proud of his son who is following in his footsteps. steve: absolutely. is he in law enforcement and that really has to do with our next talking point. we have heard over the last couple of months there have been a number of democrats who would like to eliminate ice because they say it serves no legitimate purpose. well, as we look at what ice has been trying to do in sanctuary cities like the one we are living in right here, there is a story about a guy who had been on the law enforcement radar for a while. he was a member of ms-13. he was in the country illegally and on a subway platform earlier this week he shot a rival gang member in the face. brian: how do we know that. ainsley: several times. brian: we have video of being murdered in the district of alexandria ocasio-cortez. now, if -- the only hope we have of kicking this guy out before he can kill -- shoot
3:35 am
somebody is ice. and that's what they do. to try to hunt them down. so you would think that maybe the people might be upset at ice for maybe not getting there quick enough. no, not her. alexandria ocasio-cortez, after i imagine seeing this horror, is upset that ice even exists. she cried about it you just watched the negotiations as you saw this horrible scene going down. ainsley: you know this man is dying. brian: they are trying to carve out ice by not funding them. here she is yesterday. >> we're here to say that an agency like ice, which repeatedly and systematically violates human rights does not deserve a dime. i will not give one dollar to black box detention facilities that think that people in and some people in this country are deserving of constitutional protections and that others are not. we are a nation and a land of laws.
3:36 am
ainsley: she contradicts herself and says we are a land of laws. that's law enforcement. ice is law enforcement. steve: she also referred to the detention centers as black box detention centers. we just had congressman fleischmann from tennessee on. he says in this make or break deal regarding the government shutdown they do fund ice. they are not going to starve it. going forward it will get funded. he also said that a majority of democrats are for the funding of ice. brian: they are trying to starve it out by not funding it adequately. that's part of the negotiation. they are essentially telling them hey, if you want some of this wall fence take a little bit more money for ice. the democrats' focus is on starving out ice and denying the president a barrier that's going to be the point of negotiation. why ice is a problem for democrats. to you suspend logic. because they are enforcing -- they are going for criminals that are here illegally. we should be saluting them
3:37 am
and giving them raises. steve: the congressman we had on said it comes down to the border wall itself and call it president wants more of it and president wants fewethey want fewerbeds so fewee detained. ainsley: nancy pelosi was asked about it by one of our reporters and one of our producers, chad pergram in d.c. listen to their exchange and what she says about the democrats reputation and how in virginia how it effects the rest of the party. >> what's going on, does that filter down and damage the national democratic brand in any way? >> no, it does not. >> it's sad because there are some very talented leaders there, but they have to have the confidence of the electorate and they have the have the confidence of the legislature that they have to work with. i will leave that up to
3:38 am
them. i have enough to do here without getting involved in the affairs of virginia. brian: why can't shoe say i have spent my entire career as a democrat and i'm embarrassed what is happening in virginia. she would be playing partisan politics and talking about the embarrassment which would be justified. instead, a governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general have embarrassed the party, embarrassed their state why does she have to say i didn't hear about it or i don't think it matter that much or change the subject. steve: she is saying it's not going to damage their brand the problem is going up to 2020 the democrats want to position themselves as the party to fix racial injustice in this country. then, when you have these three characters at the want to food change the national
3:39 am
message is one. but what's going on in virginia again? how does that square? brian: if you are nancy pelosi you can say exactly what you said and say we want to be what you said, racial fairness in this country. and embarrassed what's happening in virginia bus it doesn't reflect what the democrats are that's what you do in the human race but not in politics. ainsley: think about the double standard how the democrats treated brett kavanaugh and how they are treating this lieutenant governor. brian: absolutely. steve: the governor himself says that's not me in the picture. is he going to step down if that's not him in the picture? that's another run of the problems even though he did say i appeared in michael jackson. brian: he chose what goes on his page. whether it's him or not almost doesn't matter he chose the kkk guy and a man in blackface which he claims is not him on a page with him on it on a medical page that he edits. so, i don't think could be exnonexonerated called the lieutenant governor to offer his support yesterday which
3:40 am
is a wonderful gesture. ainsley: hand it over to jillian who has more headlines. ainsley: billionaire jeff bezos accusing the "national enquirer" publicist of blackmail. "the washington post" owner claims america media incorporated threatened to publish photos of bezos and his girlfriend unless he agreed to back off an investigation into the company. bezos writing, quote: of course i don't want to personal photos published but i won't participate in their well-known practice of blackmail, political favors, political attacks and corruption. fox news has reached out to the "national enquirer" for comment. an accuse you had drunk driver crashes and burst into flames. the terrifying moment caught on police dash cam. look at this. >> whoa. you can see the car hit an embankment roll over and fly across the road in flames. police in illinois say the driver wasn't wearing his
3:41 am
seat belt but they are not seriously hurt. that's incredible. actor robert deniro has a public meltdown after divorce court. the video obtained by the daily mail capturing the entire thing. >> i don't care if they chase you. [inaudible] what's the matter with you. where are you? >> deniro reportedly yelling at his driver to pick him up outside of court in new york. the actor and his wife calling it quits after 20 years of marriage. send it back to you. ainsley: get in the car and get away from the media the driver isn't there. steve: that's the beauty of uber, you have the g psz and find you wherever you are. brian: who says no one buys newspapers anymore. thank goodness. ainsley: like a scene from good fellows. brian: that's what his ex-wife is doing making him go public with everything u. steve: janice dean with public. janice: i want to say hi to my friends from south africa. >> >> correct. what are your names wolf and
3:42 am
mark. >> hi, steve from florida thank you for coming to "fox & friends" on a friday. take a look at maps. it is a cool, i mean frigid across the northern plains and you were midwest where we have another artic cold front that has settled. in we have wind chill advisories, wind chill warnings. dangerous wind chills for these areas, minus 20, minus 30. not as cold as last week but dangerous. temperatures are going to start to moderate as we head night weekend. that front is going to bring the potential for showers across the eastern third of the country. a little bit of snow across the great lakes and even some snow showers for central texas. there is our next storm system moving into the west. best part of new york city so far. >> wonderful. janice: being on wonderful? >> that's it. that's it. janice: very good answer. all right, steve, ainsley and brian, back to you. >> thank you very much. >> elizabeth warren trying to apologize for latest native scandal but one member of the cherokee nation isn't buying it. he is going to join us live in the next hour. steve: plus, the democrats say aoc's green new deal will save the planet.
3:43 am
3:46 am
ainsley: the left's green new deal calling for world war ii level mobilization involving replacing every building in america. banning nuclear energy. brian: sounds good. ainsley: ending air travel. brian: finally. ainsley: even ensuring economic security for those who are unwilling to work. brian: finally those unwilling to work have rights. the plan doesn't have a price tag on it. some estimates claim it will cost $7 trillion. that's way too low. ainsley: way low. brian: cost five times that.
3:47 am
ainsley: someone said a gazillion, right? author of incorrect glide climate change and climate depot.com marc morano. you told our producers this deal is a big ball of crazy. why do you say that? >> this is essentially the environmental left and the left wish list over the last 40 years all thrown into one package and they don't want to debate it on the merits of the economics we're told we need to do all of this from banning meat to airline getting rid of the combustion internal combustion engine all to save from us a climate emergency and yet we are not told how to expect better weather if we actually pass this thing it would have no impact on the climate even if you believe al gore and the united nations and all the silliness that sometimes they claim. this plan is plagiarism pure and simple. they borrowed it from the 1960's and 1970s. in my book i different

environmental scares, scarcity even global cooling. sovereignty. massive government intervention. brian: marc environmentalist to the left of al gore and obviously she is and say this is not practical. i have spent my career as a lawmaker, legislator. why would you stand behind a deal like this when it looks like something that was put out by a tenth grader? >> actually tenth is being very, very generous. brian: let's go seventh. >> i gold as low as 3rd grade. this is a big bowl of crazy wish list of everything you could imagine. and i think the whole release of this, they have bungled the release. they put in there unwilling worker. pull it from the website. dispute on what they meant from nuclear power. they haven't even gotten this straightened out. this is the litmus test from the 2020 did i democratic contenders. in a way they have given anyone who cares about free markets, liberty and science a grand opening to expose anyone who signs on to this plan.

ainsley: you say it's the democrats wish list even my democrat friends would probably say they like their cars. they don't want to work so that everyone else doesn't have to if they are not willing. to say they don't want to redo their apartment buildings because buildings would have to change the way they get their energy. they like their meat. they like their airplanes. whose wish list is this? >> this is the far environmental left has been pushing these exact same things. i interviewed the former czech president in my book and he says the greatest threat to individual liberty since the fall of the eastern block. he was the president of czech republic is the -- what he calls ambitious environmentalism. they have been trying this over and over. mainstream democrats -- nancy pelosi is being called climate denier by climate activists because she called this the big green dream. she is dismissing it. she is not putting aoc on the climate change committee. so now nancy pelosi is seeing as a climate denier by the activists. this is a real big shift. brian: has anyone mentioned this to russia, china or
3:50 am
india. even if it was the cure-all it's not going to touch the planet because nobody else is buying into it let alone us. marc morano, thanks so much for trying to unwind the crazy. ainsley: after two years, house democrats are expanding the russia investigation. what happened to waiting until robert mueller finished his report? we will ask democratic congressman jim hymes in the next hour. >> start your engines, biggest car show is rolling into the windy city. roger caudill is in the windy city. ainsley: enjoy it while you can windy season. brian: how does he get the keys? ♪ free ride ♪ come on and take a free ride ♪ before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn, marie could only imagine enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. now no fruit is forbidden. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn?

4:03 am
brian: can we take a look at our future? steve: how would you do it? ainsley: here's what's in the deal. we will go through step-by-step. number one, 100 percent clean renewable energy. that means banning nuclear energy. eliminating fossil fuels. wiping out millions of jobs. brian: getting rid of cars, finally and getting rid of airplanes. steve: traditional cars with the internal combustion engine. just have to come up with something new and then it has to run on something that is not coal-fired. also upgrade all existing buildings for every efficiency. in other words, every building in the united states would have to be brought up to this energy efficient code, whatever that would be a new boiler, a new water heater, new everything in your house. every house, every building. ainsley: within the next 10 years. have you got to pay for that have you got to change the way you cook and heat your home. it has to be up to these certain standards. brian: the future of transportation will be high speed rail. the one that's taken 10

years. ainsley: no airplanes. brian: build in california still hasn't been built yet. bad new for anyone in hawaii or block island because we are going to have no way of getting to you. ainsley: she will build trains that go over the ocean. brian: fantastic. steve: that's the plan. i don't know how much that would cost but probably a lot. also ensure prosperity and economic security for all. that would also include giving money or some sort of government assistance to those unwilling to work. ainsley: that's the headline. we are burying the lead here. this is for people -- not just people who can't work. people unwilling to work. so if everyone just quits their job who is going to pay for it? if they want to tax you 90% and you live on 10% of your salary, that might be equivalent to what the government is going to give you for not working at all. why go to work? brian: that's a great question because half of this is green and half of this is central planning. half of this is oh, by the way free medicare for all and by the way you don't have to work if you don't want.
4:05 am
to say it seems like thorough complete government control. even the russians would have more freedom than this. they are also going to have clean air, water and access to nature because right now we can't -- not all of us are allowed to walk in the woods. ainsley: no more eating meat. brian: everyone quickly slaughter a cow because it's the cow's gas doing the most damage to the environment. omaha steaks is in a panic. steve: one thing to get rid of the car and airplane but to get rid of the steak. brian: that's where the rubber hits the road for you. ainsley: only thing in the deal that brian agrees with the man who doesn't eat steak. brian: stuck with sizzlean not really steak or bacon. >> how is she going to do any of this stuff? this is where things get awesome. wait a second wait until she gets to i love it so much. she is just like you know what we are going to do to do we fix everything how are we going to do it? we just are. grand plan.

guys, stop asking questions, she is a fresh phrase, very fresh and very face. back to this in just a second. i'm sorry, this is the best -- they are not sending their best. they are not sending the best. we have to shut the democratic party down until we can figure out what the hell is going on. brian: that is quoting trump. ainsley: asked how you are going to paid for it shared prosperity. you are prosperous and you are going to give to those who aren't. steve: republicans love. this because -- between this and the left's embrace of socialism the executive editor at climate depot had this observation about her big plan. >> this is just a big bowl of crazy wish list of everything you can imagine and i think the whole release of this they bungled the release. they put in there unwilling workers. they had to full from the website. whole dispute on what they meant by nuclear power. they haven't even gotten this straightened out. what they do have
4:07 am
straightened out. this is the litmus test for the 2020 democratic contenders. in a way they have given anyone who cares about free markets liberty and science a grand opening to expose anyone who signs on to this plan. brian: you wouldn't think a presidential candidate would sign on to a plan just unveiled that was taken down as soon as she announced it on npr they put it up and took it down quickly. it turns out just about everybody. cory booker is in, elizabeth warren, kirsten gill grand kamala harris bernie sanders and governor jay ins lee. i understand lee. i don't know if he is in -- we have to do things that are feasible and possible. you almost want to laugh but i worry because she is charismatic and she has great presence and extremely popular with the next generation who who have all been told in school -- she
4:08 am
has told the world is going to end in 12 years. they have been told that in school, too. you hope there aren't more people that are going it believe this is possible. we end up in some compromise. steve: one of those people on that list could be the next president of the united states. brian: yep. steve: in 2020. what she is trying to do is she is trying to get a vote in the house and then in the senate and what that means for democrats caught in the middle is every democrat will have to go on record are you for getting rid of the combustion engine and air travel as we know it. are you for high speed rail across the ocean? is this what you are for? insert name there, running for president, or is this just a pipe dream? ainsley: well, nancy pelosi was asked about it. this is what she had to say. >> it will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. the green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right? brian: that's her new tactic, right?
4:09 am
ainsley: activists are saying she is a climate denier. she is not really 100 percent on board. brian: when she doesn't agree with something she acts like she hasn't heard it. doesn't understand it. i don't have any details what's happening in virginia. i don't know what's going on with the green thing i'm busy walking around. steve: her problem is she is not watching enough about fox news. we talk about these things every morning. if she is not getting it click it right over here. ainsley: she wants airplanes to be obsolete. steve: that kind of motor. brian: what about the thunder birds who is going to do the flyover. steve: sustainable. ainsley: what you are are a lawmaker in hawaii? how do you get to washington to pass bills? senator meaz hirono a democrat from hawaii said. this. >> one of the things was to try to eliminate air travel and build high speed rail all across the country. is some of the stuff feasible. >> that would be pretty hard for hawaii.

cherokee nation. ainsley: do you believe she used this information to get ahead. >> absolutely she did. she did it in texas which i think she should be disbarred from practicing law of it. you are supposed to be in good moral standing. now i believe she is claiming to be -- she is minority race because of the nonwhite voters it's very important in a democrat primary. that's the only reason why she is doing it and she got caught in a lie. ainsley: as a member of the cherokee nation how does this make you feel when she is trying to use it using it to get ahead? this is a person who we think is going to announce her candidacy for president. >> this isn't unusual. people do this all the time. it's funny how easy it is nowadays though to tell a person's lying. back when she signed this it wasn't as easy and relatively accessible. it wasn't online like it is now. we didn't have the social media. wheat doont have people being able to do research by a stroke of keys. now they are. and so she got caught in a
4:19 am
lie and she has doubled down. now it is so open. one time she said she doesn't actually remember actually writing it down, that people may have assumed because of stories she told. it's obvious black and white she wrote it with her own hand writing that she was american indian. so now that she is caught. what she just needs to do is step back and say look, i'm not qualified to even run for president. ainsley: congressman, she did apologize. do you forgive her? >> listen, forgiveness is something that everybody chooses. of course, i do. but that doesn't right the wrong. it was still wrong what she did. she has claimed to be a native american for, i guess, 40 years. the fact of the matter is she is caught now. and she did apologize but that doesn't mean that she should -- can move forward with her political career. ainsley: yes or no does she have the character to be president. >> absolutely not. she didn't have the character to be president before this came to light. this just shows another flaw in her character.

4:28 am
in this case if you are young, millennial, you probably alexandria ocasio-cortez in terms of what she accomplished. how could you not. once she gets into policy. in other words she is very good on twitter snarky and knows how to pawned to people. once you put her in an interview or actually have to have her proposing is with something resembling details then suddenly the whole thing falls apart. the problem is no one is going to criticize her whether it be on msnbc or cnn or any of the night talk shows she is the it interview that they don't want to alienate their audiences by criticizing her in any meaningful way and they want to provide their audiences comfort food instead, brian. brian: next thing talk about real quick is in virginia you have a democratic governor in blackface or in controversy. holding on. you have a lieutenant governor who is in the middle of a sexual assault scandal and then have you an attorney general who condemned the governor, all three democrats and he also said hey, by the way, at 19 years old i dressed in
4:29 am
blackface as a rapper. so, how is the media covering this? >> well, it's what they aren't covering or what they're not doing, i should say. think of a parallel universe for a moment where these were all republicans in virginia that were accused of these things or there are actual pictures of them in blackface. i can guarantee you in the aforementioned cnn or cnbc or some of the broadcast networks would be arranging town halls in richmond or charlottesville or roanoke or anywhere in virginia right now to talk to the people or figure out what we have to do to address this problem. of course it would all go back to president trump in some way, shape, or form. i'm not seeing those town halls. yes, there is coverage. the pyes outrage that we normally see seems to be missing here, brian. brian: if you want to label the republican party as a racist party how can you do that when you have a virginia situation. it's going to be a lot tougher. joe concha, thanks so much. >> have a good weekend.

4:35 am
because they don't understand the history of what it's done. how many people it's brought into poverty and death and hopefully this message from the venezuelans can change that listen also to what they had to say about president trump and his administration. i didn't ask anyone about their thoughts on the current administration but they were quick to praise president trump. listen to this. >> the people from venezuela, we are very grateful. with the united states, with this beautiful country because they give you all the support right now in this critical situation. >> to me, the administration is doing something more tha than -- >> we spoke to people that were attending that said they were called students and they have seen this push of socialism come from professors. something we cover all the time at leadership institute campus reform. there was an event in california. university brought in speakers praising maduro saying he was a strong leader. many people said it was insult to their family members currently starving in venezuela to imply that

the people there aren't actually dying for freedom and wanting democracy and to imply that they want to have nicholas maduro. listen to why they described their country and what the conditions are like there hear firsthand how bad the situation is under this socialist regime. >> i left my home country 20 years ago because of this. and it's a gradual process over time, little by little power is taken away from the people. >> i was born in venezuela i had to leave my country and family. >> i left my country 10 years ago not seen my family and my friends. i want the kids right now to be able to have a future in my country. people that they have hope to come back to our country and reconstruct it. incredibly powerful. this is not joke. easy to laugh off the rise of socialism in america and crazy proposals from alexandria ocasio-cortez and people, her friends in the congress and around the country.
4:37 am
this really isn't a joke. i think if we are going to defeat socialism, i think the first thing to do is to take it seriously. and president trump took us in the right direction there at the state of the union talking about how we will always be a country that's free. we are not going to fall for this. but, do i think there is a propensity for many americans to say it could never happen here. there are plenty of people throughout history that never thought their governments could fall and look what happened. brian: president trump has been brilliant so far led by secretary of state and his national security advisor in supplying material and support for guaido and we are bringing all these supply, emergency supplies right to the border. and that's a perilous situation. ainsley: similar messages from people who had to flee cuba, too. thank you so much, cabot. >> absolutely. ainsley: hand it over to jillian who has headlines for us. jillian: good friday morning to you. a suspect accused of shooting a school bus driver in a fit of road rage claims he feared for his life. grainy video shows kenneth

4:46 am
it's important to know what they're doing. we have to stay away from. >> we have a lot of active investigations going on, including the investigation by special counsel robert mueller we need to let those investigations run its course. steve: that was then and this is now. joining us now is democratic congressman from the great state of connecticut jim himes a member of the house intel committee and house financial services committee as well. joins us from d.c. jim, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: what changed? before the election, you were ready to wait for mr. mueller's report but now that you won your party is the majority, now you want to dig back into it. why? >> i was listening to those clips. those clips, were in answer to the question that all of us get almost every day which is should the house begin impeachment proceedings? usually people say now wait a second, if you are going to begin impeachment proceedings you are going to do it because have you evidence of high crimes and dismeernsz. i don't think that anybody said that the house
4:47 am
intelligence investigation, which was in my opinion abruptly stopped by the republican majority in the last congress shouldn't continue. remember, we now know that michael cohen is going to jail because he lied to that committee as part of its investigation. steve: right. >> and, of course, roger stone is accused of lying. what we need to do is follow up on, first of all, the fact that folks lied to us and secondly an awful lot of questions people have when the investigation was prematurely concluded. steve: congressman, democrats in the house were criticizing republicans in the house in the last congress for expanding the russia probe. they were trying to get more about the period before mr. mueller was installed in his special job. you know, why was it the democrats were critical then when the republicans were expanding it but what makes this different this time? because you were unhappy with the expansion of the
4:48 am
probe. >> i'm not sure what you mean by that. steve: into looking into the period before mr. mueller was appointed. you know, the dossier, fusion, the whole email thing with hillary clinton's private server, stuff like that. >> oh, yeah. no. that stuff is essential. i don't know what others have said. steve: so you would be looking into that as well? >> well, what we will be looking into is what we were always looking into which was the russian interference into our election of 2016 and whether there was any cooperation by anybody in that interference and, of course, that extends back to the period prior to the election where we know, for example, the russians hacked into the dnc networks. so, yeah, of course if you are looking into russian messing around in our elections you are going to look before the election. steve: well, good. okay. meanwhile north carolina senator richard burr told cbs this yesterday, he said if we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the trump campaign and russia. so there's one of the guys
4:49 am
who knows more about russia collusion than anybody in the congress and he says haven't seen it yet. >> yeah, look, i'm a member of the house so i haven't seen the senate investigation, the report. there are obviously three investigations now the senate, the house and mueller's. i haven't -- i have no knowledge of the one other than the one in the house. look, if that turns out to be the case, the role of the investigation is to tell the american people what happened. if it turns out that there was no collusion -- now, remember, collusion is a complicated word. everybody has a different definition. some people would say wait a minute if the president's son invites a bunch of russians to trump tower and encourages them to give them compromising information, that is something that could point to collusion. again, none of the reports have been finally issued. we will see what happens. look, if it turns out there wasn't some conspiracy to work with the russians to alter the outcome of an election. steve: um-huh. >> could you imagine if the
4:50 am
conclusion is the opposite that a campaign worked with a hostile foreign power to elect a president? steve: that would really be something. >> that would really be something. steve: you are on the intel committee. you haven't seen anything that suggests there was collusion. >> well, again, suggest there was collusion. steve: have you? it's just a yes or a no have you seen anything. >> yeah, well, it's important to be clear what we mean by collusion. we know breaking news today that paul manafort had a gentleman by the name of clemnic to the inauguration. he has ties to the russians. steve: you are going to look into that you would think mr. mueller was looking into that right now. >> of course it was a filing before court from the special counsel that floated that fact today. yes. steve: if there was collusion we want to know about it congressman jim himes democrat from connecticut. sir, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: all right. 10 minutes before the top of the hour. the fight against isis

the deal? brian: what do you think about the deal? >> i think it is idealistic, it is aspirational. it is future think. brian: you aspire for total control? you aspire to support the people that don't work? >> no, you aspire to get rid of pollution, brian. you aspire to get rid of traffic. you aspire to make the world environmentally a place where it is sustainable. for instance, this should be throughout the southwestern portion of the united states and florida, puerto rico, every house should have solar power. all the canyons, all the wind. there are all alternatives. absolutism is what curtails the dream of the progressive. how do they pay for it. steve: the other thing is physics. they don't know how to do this stuff. >> oh, that. steve: it is idealistic but same time -- brian: not my ideal. steve: a lot of political goals

5:09 am
who lasts? >> two quick, two quick points. i think the most horrific thing about virginia now is that the governor is advocated this partial-birth abortion which makes you vomit. it is horrifying how he seeks to so expand reproductive rights they even include possible infanticide. i absolutely oppose governor northam laying forth that brutality. brian: yes. >> now he has to deal a situation, were he watched somebody else, having black face or medical college or yearbook, he would be the first to demand their resignation. i think democrats in virginia are screwed. i think governor must go. the lieutenant governor, if he were judged the way brett kavanaugh was gone, he would be gone already with credible allegation of sexual assault. now with the attorney general, what happens now the speaker of the house in virginia, is a

governor at the democratic national convention in boston in 2004, this century, this allegation that he forced this woman to perform oral sex on him and there was nothing consensual about it. to respond so negatively to the republicans or so postively or reluck tanly to the democrats exposes what we all know, soil serving, hypocritical, care only about satisfying the agenda. party loyalty, that is what is gumming up the ability to move forward on the border issue. i'm sorry. steve: time's up. >> start a whole new topic. steve: no. you had the final word. absolutely zero chance. brian: geraldo see you later on radio. remember, you don't call a car on the way home. have to take a train. ainsley: we might disagree on that issue but we still love
