to hear and to talk about and so here's our lead story once again today. it looks as if the budget border compromise could actually get a vote in the house tonight and then the senate. but the thing is, the president hasn't signed off on it yet because he hasn't read it yet. they were still writing it up until last night. they know a lot of the basic part the language legislative language which can sometimes make or break a deal was still being done last night. ainsley: the president says he wants to add things to the deal. that's why he hasn't written off on it yet. he does have until friday to sign it once it's passed in the house and the senate. he tweeted i want to thank all the republicans for the work have you done dealing with the radical left on border security. not an easy task. but the wall is being built and will be a great achievement and contributor toward life and safety within our country. brian: i rode back with him he looked at it as thin gruel did the president. what does it look like?

i have never had any i have had it described. the border wall security agreement in its framework form 1.375 billion for physical barriers. remember, nancy pelosi said you could have 1.3 but nothing for a wall. that's changed. 55 miles of new fencing is the max. which basically adds up. border patrol may use any current design, which means the bollard fence could stop tunnels. no cap on immigrants detained in the u.s. which is good. path to reduce ice detention beds. many people finds disturbing. the president finds he could find money to get that over what it is right now and improvements to the border patrol holding fittings which works for everyone. ainsley: the president said senator shelby was hard-working. he said this is just a down payment. we were able to secure you some money. steve: right. keep in mind the 5.7 billion-dollar figure not from the president it came from the border patrol and

the experts in the administration. how much would you need to secure our burden. and that was the minimum. they said we want 5.7 billion to complete our top five priorities. instead they got this figure which would give them the opportunity to work towards some. what will the president do? it sounds like he is going to wind up signing it. because it is more money; however, as we said yesterday, he probably has something up his sleeve. if not declaring a national emergency, he could actually take the money. there are a couple of executive orders he could do. there are two or three laws in his favor without congress and roy blunt, the senator from the great state of missouri yesterday told "the washington post" that there are $880 million in a military program to build roads and fences to block drug smuggling. it was approved for use in drug trafficking areas and he says this would fit the bill. so there's close to a

billion dollars. roy blunt says the president could use right now. ainsley: that's one idea. we will get into other ideas throughout the show. rush limbaugh was talking about this. he said the president should take the deal. if he does he needs to make sure the message is you don't always get what you want. this is a compromise. >> anything that happenings to solidifies and cements that effort as being taken and underway. the president can portray as a win can always hold out the card of a declaration of a national emergency to get the rest of it built and so forth. if he signs, this he is going to have to make the case that you never get everything you want all at once. we got them off the zero. we are moving in the right direction. we are continuing to build the wall. everybody is so out of their gourds on this because of their ongoing belief that trump is some ogre, not capable, not an individual thinker. they still don't know who the man is. brian: well, he is not going anywhere. he has at least two more

years. if he continues to run against the batch of people saying such extreme ideas he has a lot more than that. ainsley: nancy pelosi says he doesn't have two more years. there is a good chance. steve: that was elizabeth warren. ainsley: it was elizabeth warren. that's right. brian: nancy pelosi says don't worry i'm not going to impeach you. that was their idea of a compromise. the president has not spent the 2017 money yet. they are not sitting there with cranes idolizing wondering where they're going to get the money. they right now are starting on about 30 to 40 miles worth of barrier. by the time they are done with that they will have another at minimum 1.375. by the time they are done with that if they are in fact done, it's going to be september 30th when you have to go get more money, which is back to a compromise. ainsley: best thing yesterday though, you were talking about different ways to fund this wall. steve: the president has something up his sleeve. ainsley: ted cruz had a great idea yesterday.

putting el chapo away listen to this. it's a tweet. america's justice system prevailed in convicting guzman aka elle chap all 10 counts. seeking $14 billion in drug profits and other assets from el chapo which should go toward funding our wall to #secure the border. it's the el chapo act ensuring lawful collection of hidden assets to provide order. that's el chapo spelled out. steve: good acronym. $14 billion. if they were able to figure out how to do it. ainsley: genius, right? steve: using el chapo's illicitly obtained fortune and not taxpayer dollars act of poetic justice and common sense solution to securing the border. brian: only problem is we don't know where all that money is. it's a matter of getting it and see where we can use it talk about 020 for a second. elizabeth warren, of course,

came off pretty inauthentic when she said i have got to get me a beer and then finding out about her background wasn't actually correct sips the 1980s. she also continues to do questionable things like show up at an american i understand i can't believe event yesterday. continuing to underline who are you and why are you here? and then kamala harris came out and gave a very impressive introductory look at me i want to run for president. however, if you look at some of the things she is saying about giving insurance for everybody, destroying private insurance and giving medicare for all, wonder where that came from. then she admits on a morning radio show that she smoked marijuana because she wanted to in college. >> have you ever smoked? >> i have. >> okay. >> and i did inhale. [laughter] >> was it in college? >> um-huh. >> what were you thinking when you were high? what was on? >> oh my goodness. oh yeah, definitely snoop,

um-huh tupac for sure. for sure. steve: she was listening to snoop and tupac when she was in college. we took a look at the record. and take a look at this. that was the appearance on the so-called world's most dangerous morning show the breakfast club here in new york. she graduated from college at howard in 1986. she finished law school in 1989. she was admitted to the state bar of california in 1990 and then in 1991 tupac's first album came out and in 1993 snoop dogg's first album was released. so there's a problem with the time line. ainsley: seven years after she graduated from undergrad snoop dogg's debut album was released. five years after she graduated from undergrad tupac's album was released. steve: she doesn't remember what she was listening to while she was smoking. brian: i don't know why she is a scholar career on fast

track that tech tore. whoever you are you have to be that person or it's not going to work. didn't donald trump show you anything. he shows you every day who he is. take a look who is leading the 2020 race so are fall. familiar names up top. the first two have not even declared yet. ainsley: they have that in common. joe biden got 29% in morning consult survey. more than 11,000 people were asked. and bernie sanders got 22%. like brian said they are not even in the race yet. steve: they aren't. kamala harris 13, elizabeth warren, beto and amy klobuchar on with bret last night she has 3%. steve: these were early voting states of people being asked the questions. the second choice, if you didn't vote for the person you just told us was your first choice, the number one was is joe biden. the number two is bernie sanders. should not surprise you.

because when you look at name recognition the top two names on the democratic side are joe and bernie. so whatever the question was, joe and bernie who both have not declared whether or not they are in although. ainsley: they are seriously considering it. steve: they are the top two choices of democrats across the board. brian: i cannot see a scenario where joe biden does not get in. ainsley: i'm sure democrats are pushing him especially when you look at these numbers. getting 3%. is he up -- and. so big states like iowa and south carolina and. so ones that really can determine the race he was up to like 33%. brian: do you know who is not? barack obama is not pushing his former running mate? i wonder why. ainsley: he probably would as soon as he gets in. steve: during the last time 2016 he wanted joe biden to run instead of hillary clinton. and he pushed him. but joe's son had died. he said it's not time. big question is now. regarding everybody else in the back of the pack with those numbers, it's early early. we are still a year and a half out. anything can happen. brian: joe boyden's book he

said barack obama wasn't encouraging him when he asked him at the end. jillian: you guys are always encouraging. brian: we fully support you. ainsley: glass half full. jillian: start you off with a fox news alert and serious news we want to get to. an nypd detective killed by friendly fire during a robbery investigation. >> shots fired, shots fired.

take care of all those complication, the later the abortion the greater risk to the mom. ainsley: inhumane, dangerous, unsafe, result in the death of many mothers. what happens to a mom's body, to a woman's body when she delivers or has an abortion that late? >> you know, the most common complication that i saw as an obstetrician is number one the uterus was perforated during the procedure. when that uterus gets bigger it's much easier to perforate. the other complication is just hemorrhaging. so what i would typically see is an woman in the emergency room in shock hemorrhaging from this procedure and we would have to rush them to the emergency room and literally we would be fishing out pieces of the baby that they left behind or pieces of the placenta, so that uterus cannot clamp down afterwards. ainsley: you write about how it's safer just for you to deliver the baby. there are so many moms that want these babies that can't have children of their own. you write in the op-ed you

ainsley: we wanted to ask you about that. do you think it's a manufactured crisis? what's your reaction to that? and he wants to pull those troops off the border, too. >> so, listen, gavin is selectively ignorant to the issues of our own state. but here are the facts. we have over 2 million, probably far more illegals living in the shadows in the state of california. and the migration policy institute estimates that in the united states there are about 820,000 convicted criminals who are unauthorized immigrants. nearly 85% of which are convicted of either a felony or a serious misdemeanor. so, gavin calls it a manufactured crisis? but i would liked to hear him say that to the family members' widow and 6 month old son of police corporal ronald singh murdered by illegal immigrant shortly after christmas. those aren't the people that gavel like like gavel likes to talk to or about gerald brown agreed with the

administration. 400 national guard troops on our southern border. even though there is not a crisis the governor would say. now he is pulling them back, watch this. >> this is pure politics. and so we're just knot going to participate in it. that's why we are announcing of the roughly 360 folks out on the border, we will keep 100 folks behind. primarily at ports of entry. the rest of our national guard will go to more appropriate venues, substantively, the issues related to preparing for the next fire season, address the issue of fire prevention. steve: how do you think, tomi, the people of california feel knowing that they they are 400 troops lighter at the southern border? >> well, i think if californians wake up they would have never elected the guy. here's the deal. he talks about what's appropriate for the national guard to do. he is the governor of a border state. what is more appropriate than protecting and securing the border for californians, for americans because remind you, this is not just a problem.

although we are greatly impacted. illegal immigration and illegal border crossings, they effect the entirety of the united states. for gavin to say it's not appropriate is so tone deaf. it's dangerous. this is why we can't put leaders like him in power especially in a border state it makes me, you know, infuriated especially living in california knowing what he is doing to this great state. brian: too late. but the good news is and i'm being sarcastic you are going to get free healthcare for illegal immigrants, illegal aliens. there will be even more flooding across the border. >> absolutely we are a magnet and when governor gavin newsom gets up there and makes those speeches and gives illegal immigration a gold star of course it's going to be a magnet. steve: tomi, thank you for joining us. check her out on foxnation.com. thank you. the governor did say one thing yesterday that was true. although not probably good news to alexandria ocasio-cortez and that is that $77 billion bullet train they were going to run between l.a. and san

money? here to break it all down for you and charles payne host of making money with charles payne fox business network. people look forward to tax refund. >> i know. steve: getting back the money that they overpaid to the federal government. >> exactly. here's the thing. for the most part the irs is telling everyone that they just simply did not make the proper adjustments on the withholdings at the beginning of the year. so they have been making all of this money. steve: irs mistake. >> not necessarily their mistake. your employer or you. irs put a lot of memos out. made it pretty easier to go on website and figure it out. beginning of last year. of course most people didn't do that while people were obviously seeing fatter paychecks they were still counting on that refund they always got. which is interesting because you kind of hinted at it that we would allow the irs to have like a $2,000 loan, our money, right? hold on to it because we overpaid. so people should probably consider making these adjustments anyway unless you want to give the irs 2 or 3 grand of your money.

maybe they can make the interest on it and you won't? brian: here's the problem. certain things gone forever. and that is in these blue states in illinois and new york as well as los angeles, new jersey as well as california, you can no longer write off state and local taxes. >> there is limits, right? steve: 10,000. brian: so that's gone? >> that's gone. that's gone. and a lot of these states are complaining. and, listen. brian: that's why governor cuomo met with the president yesterday. >> they created these obligations and made these promises. they need to find out. so taxes that they can probably address rather than going back to the governor and asking someone in mississippi to subsidize a millionaire in new york city subsidize their mortgage it's ridiculous. steve: new york state should run more like texas or florida. >> absolutely.

ainsley: after tax we form we all expected. we didn't know how it would shake you. probably april doing more and more stories like this. let's talk about bill gates. he does want to tax the rich. he is saying alexandria ocasio-cortez her idea of taxing 70% is too high. listen to this. >> the irs shows the statistics for the top 400 people, the highest income amend the rate they pay. anyway, you should look at that it's about a 20% rate. so it has nothing to do with the 39.6 marginal ordinary income rate. so it's a misfocus if you focus on that you are missing the picture. i believe u.s. tax rates can be more progressive. now, you finally have some politicians who are so extreme that i'd say no, that's, you know, that's even beyond. ainsley: what are your thoughts. >> essentially what he is saying is going after income is really not wise anyway. one point we had 91% tax rate in the 1950s. do you know what the effective federal tax rate

was for the 1% back then or those folks 16%. steve: because of the loopholes. >> 16%. you added in state, local, federal. they only paid 40%. you can throw these big numbers out there and what bill gates was saying these folks if they are that wealthy they will find ways around it. if you want to tax other things have at it. dumb way to go about it only going to backfire. is he absolutely right. by the way he went on to say in that same interview that our deficit, you know, the idea that our deficit can keep growing because it's now 22 trillion is crazy talk. i thought that was amazing as well. steve: absolutely crazy. whenever you see charles in the hall, generally he has a smile but he has got a bigger smile these days and maybe it's reflected in a brand new gallup poll 69% of americans expect their finances to improve in the next year. that is a 16-year high. charles, what are the facts behind that number? why are people happier? >> jobs, jobs, jobs. higher wages, higher wages, higher wages.

we were talking about this whole tax snafu the real story and i'm going to put the chart on if you don't mind i love people twitter handle cb payne. put the chart up. people have to see how much wages have gone up since the tax plan went into place. brian: blue collar up faster than white collar. >> faster than white collar for the first time in over a decade. by the way in the same gallup poll 50% say finances improved last year. ainsley: how much more money are they making on average? thousands? >> well, it depends. the key is the percentage. over 3% year over year we had not seen that since 2009. it was coming down. now we have had it four consecutive months and, of course, the most important thing for me are the people who really never see a raise hadn't seen one for a long time. those are the supervisors. and. >> successful and their bosses are giving the money back? >> people get paid more.

the answer is yes. you know, and it's also the job creation. when we get the job numbers in. you have got to look at the compilation. those kind of jobs trigger seven additional jobs in the economy. so powerful. those are coming back. so the quality of the jobs that is really helping out not just the overall but quality high paying jobs. we could find out that chart on c. payne. >> payne. steve: jillian joins us with the news. >> following a number of stories, is that righting with this the. the man accused of shooting and killing a border patrol agent in 2010 is convicted of first degree murder. eric leo will be sentenced sentd in ape. he is one of seven people charged in the killing of agent brian terry in a shootout in arizona. terry's death exposed operation fast and furious. a failed obama era program

the green new deal. brian: so we are going to get a vote turning point u.s.a. founder charlie kirk is here live. millennial founder nathan reuben. good morning, guys. we it help these candidates, especially, as well as democrats to get on the record on this. >> absolutely. i think it will be good for the primary process and for the base of the democratic party to see who does support this green new deal and who is taking climate change seriously whether we like it or not, we need to start making modifications and rebuilding our infrastructure to prepare for what's to come this deal in particular do you think they should vote on the framework for this deal no air travel building trains. >> there is no other bill. this is what we have right now. fdr said at the height of the great depression try something, if it fails admit it frankly but by god try something. >> that's a horrible argument. banninbanning cars, high speed

rails. >> let me finish because. [talking at the same time] >> let me finish. brian: go ahead, charlie. >> it reduces air travel significantly. even the senator at hawaii quite laughed at the green new deal and air travel. i can't figure out who likes this deal more mitch mcconnell or aoc he looked giddy to get people on the record this shows how radical the democratic heart has become. booming economic growth. wages going up. record low youth unemployment record low black unemployment and record lola teen know unemployment. this is the left's platform regressive policies to make us less competitively internationally and destroy our energy peter internationally. laughable and at the same time scary. >> i would counter that by saying that the fastest growing industries in our economy are in the field of renewable energy and this only invests more in that. we need to get more people working in the wind and solar. brian: do you know how many jobs will be lost if we get rid of the fossil fuel

industry? do you know how many -- including by the way natural gas goes. and we will not have nuclear power. nothing burns cleaner than those two. >> look, at the end of the day, we are already seeing the effects of climate change whether it was hurricane harvey in houston. hurricane maria in puerto rico killing thousands. wildfires burning down half of california. brian: do you think there were no storms before fossil fuel. >> no but the storms getting worse. 100 year storms every year and the fact we are ignoring it and not doing anything is a disservice to our children and grandchildren. >> i actually love the climate as much as you do. interestingly enough carbon emissions are 20 year low under the trump presidency. believe it or not we are less dependent on middle eastern oil than before. we are exporting more oil than importing oil. the narrative is that somehow republicans and trump don't love the climate or the environment. we believe in market based solutions. onto your point you say that the renumber energy sector is doing better in the market, outside of government coercion, outlines of government policy. this is a regressive deal, not a progressive deal and i hope they vote on it we will

see how it does. brian: nathan, here it goes it looks like amy klobuchar and nancy pelosi are two people haven't bought into it yet. she is trying to get a little bit towards the middle and bloomberg and howard schultz however he ends up wants to push this aside. is there a venue in the middle or is any successful democratic candidate. >> any successful democratic is going to have to be serious what he they're talking about in relation to climate we have listened to millionaires and billionaires too long we need to get back to grassroots solutions. brian: okay. >> i can't wait for them to vote on it a gift for president trump and us conservatives and there is going to be more democrats. brian: nothing to run from. a vote to be had. nathan reuben thanks so much. charlie kirk. brian: senator bob menendez slamming trump for zero tolerance immigration policy. >> if a person has a driving under the influence violation he is now making that saying that that that's a criminal. brian: yes, i believe it is a criminal offense to drive

steve: sometimes it can be hard to keep up in fast paced world. the next guest says rather than to sit back and wait for things to settle down before making a move. we need to jump right in and quickly adjust to constant changes. ainsley: that's the topic of his new book it's called leader shift. 11 essential changes that every leader must embrace. he joins us now. bestselling author and leadership expert john c. maxwell. it's such a pleasure. good to see you, john. >> it's so nice. it's great to be with you.

ainsley: on your 83rd book. >> who is counting? ainsley: why did you write this. >> i was getting ready to speak to a company and they gave me the theme which was fast-forward. and they said john what does that mean to you? >> i said fast is faster than it's ever been before. and forward is shorter than it's ever been before. severing so fast paced if you could see more than other people could see, you had the advantage. you had the vision. today more has been transitioned to before. if i could see before others see, i guess me and my team a tremendous advantage. steve: god to be nimble. >> you have to nimble, agile and quick. leaders shifted. being able to see the whole picture and see the picture quickly and make the transitions the shifts, the transitions to seize the day and the moment. ainsley: you give examples of how you have shifted in your life and we will go through a few of them. you talk about 11 but we will talk about a few during this interview.

you said goals to growth. so shift from your goals to your growth. what do you mean by that? >> well, when i started out i was goal-oriented and everybody has goals. i think goals are great. nothing is bad about goals. but i can remember for a goal i kept asking myself the question how long will it take? how long will it take me to get there? it was kind of like a countdown. in the process of growing towards that goal i realized the growth within me was more before than the goal goal before me. instead of how long will it take, how long will it take the question of how far can i go? steve: we all like to please people. you say pleasing people to challenging people. what's the difference? >> this was a major leader shift. probably if the book this was my hardest leadership, steve. i like to make people happy. and i grew up. steve: everybody does. >> i grew up in a wonderful home i thought leadership was just making people happy

way to be on the team i was a great leader. i began i couldn't make everybody happy. what i realized my responsibility as a leader as it to help people not just to make them happy. ainsley: what about ladder climbing to lad are building. >> ladder climbing is all about me. start there i did everybody does. when we begin to understanding leadership role. we begin to leave the ladder climbing and start ladder holding and helping other people climb the ladder. ladder hold something basically helping people go higher than they would have gone if you wouldn't have held that ladder. steve: it's that simple. check it out. he is one of the foremost authorities on leadership in the world john maxwell. the look is called leader shift. thank you, sir. >> thank you. steve: all right. meanwhile, democrats say voter i.d. law also actually stop people from voting. got a new study proving that they could be wrong. ainsley: plus, congressman duncan hunter and mark meadows and white house

ainsley: when i was growing up y'all probably did this too after church we would drive around neighborhoods and look at houses. steve: fancy houses we do the same thing. ainsley: dad would give us a number all compete who had the best house because we would count number one, number two, number three. he always told us don't buy a house that's low because of the flood. the water will go down and flood the front of your house u so we were always looking for houses up on the hill. steve: like this one. ainsley: now i want a flat house a flat front yard. brian: we used to sing how many bottles of beer on the wall. ainsley: when you were five. steve: your dad had a bar. makes sense. brian: stayed in the family we all smelled like alcohol. steve: did you not. ainsley: wrong. steve: thank you for joining us on this busy wednesday. guess what? lawmakers could actually vote on a tentative deal to avoid that second partial government shutdown as early as tonight and then the house would be followed by the senate. they could vote tomorrow. ainsley: that's right, steve. right now the president is

considering additional ways to find funds that are needed to build the wall. brian: right. politico is reporting late last night things started to unravel a little bit. how serious was that? kevin corke is live at the white house with the latest. >> this is the real issue. not just for congressional lawmakers. this san issue for this white house because to be blunt, no one wants another shutdown. let's be honest about that. it was really devastating for a number of american people. but there is also this sense here, guys that this president will do whatever it takes to secure the homeland and that includes border security, including a barrier of some sort can you call it a wall or a barrier whatever. the real issue last night it looks like sort of tentative agreement it maybe unraveling even as we speak. that said, i can tell you this. we heard the president say this in the cabinet room yesterday, he is getting a wall one way or the other. >> i can't say i'm happy. i can't say i'm thrilled. but the wall is getting built regardless, doesn't

matter because we are doing other things beyond what we are talking about here. >> okay. but, that now puts the ball back in the court of congressional lawmakers. here's the tit-for-tat. maybe they give him a little money. he uses a little bit of that he takes other money from different pots all around the government to, again, fund border security. that's a nonstarter for democrats. >> as for moving around the money, he needs congressional permission to do it. he doesn't have the authority to do it without house permission. >> i ought to feel free to use whatever tools he can legally use to enhance his effort to secure the border. so, no, i would not be troubled by that. >> senator mitch mcconnell from the great commonwealth of kentucky. so we heard the president talk about this in the cabinet meeting yesterday. we expect to hear more about this topic not just today happened over on capitol hill but throughout the week as again we begin this idea of taking money from other

pots in the government if need to be secure the border. >> back to you. brian: this is what politico vorting. maybe they announced the deal too early nothing to do with the president. at the thought the pen to paper there were critical issues and ancillary issues that have not been solved and they say that you know, this whole thing could blow up and the president might not have anything to sign. steve: that's what we were talking about the first hour on "fox & friends." they agreed in principle a couple days ago. they made the announcement before trump was taking the stage in el paso. they wanted to take that away from him. congress agreed on something. they agreed in principle. they are not done writing it. as of late last night they hadn't written it and legislative language is what the president is waiting on because he hasn't seen it and everybody, republicans and democrats are trying to get stuff they wants in to this and they were doing it last night. so the president hasn't signed off because he doesn't know what they have

put in the bill. ainsley: president originally wanted 25 billion. then he asked for more than 5 billion. now they are giving him 1.4 billion? the former border patrol chief under president obama called the border security deal a fail, listen. >> from a law enforcement and border patrol perspective. this proposal is a fail. they are not listening to the expert. the experts have been saying again and again and again the tools and resources they need which that multilayer plan is 230 additional miles of physical barrier at strategic locations control, to stem the flow of drugs and bad things. congress today said nope, we're not listening to the experts. we know better. this bill as it is proposed is a fail. brian: tom homan says the same thing it's a fail. he has very little choice not to sign it because it

doesn't matter who gets blamed. if the president if the particular resonates with anyone it's the working american. the border security, the tsa can't afford to go another day or two or week or two without a paycheck. shutdown has got to be off the table. steve: listen, the president is a realist. he knows the democrats are not going to give him one more dollar. we have been telling you this all along. he will probably take this deal and like kevin corke said move some money around. roy blunt of missouri says there is a military program that has $880 million specifically to build roads and fences to block drug smuggling it was custom made for something like this. so, stay tuned. the president as we have been saying probably has, knowing donald trump has a -- some sort of a something, a surprise. will. ainsley: senator shelby says he can build the way he

wants with the steel slats very important. brian: a lot of people are against anything the president does. the funny part of it is they can't defend it want a really good example here is senator menendez says a lot of people come here violate our laws and we don't even kick them out and they cause havoc. senator menendez says no. i will give you an example of how the president is exaggerating. watch. >> if you cross the border undocumented, h he has now made you a criminal. is he creating that problem by turning people away who legitimately seek asylum. if a person has a driving while under the influence violation, he is now making that, saying that that's a criminal. brian: what is wrong with the president? why we do this? ainsley: kill innocent people that is a crime. that's a crime if you are illegal or legal. brian: if he was my attorney i would fire him right now. steve: he is right in the state of new jersey, it is not a criminal offense. driving drunk, duui is not a criminal offense in new jersey and he is from new

jersey. ainsley: what? wait a minute. steve: wisconsin and new jersey. ainsley: you can drive drunk and it's legal? steve: in new jersey it is a traffic offense. brian: it's a federal crime. steve: no, it's not. brian: to drive drunk. ainsley: it's a misdemeanor. steve: it is a traffic office in new jersey the larger point he was talking about ice beds. that was the question. so, you know, is he talking about -- he is trying to criminalize everybody in the country illegally and there have been a spate of those. did you go outside of new jersey and it's a criminal offense. ainsley: let me get this straight he wants illegals with duis? is that what he is saying? brian: that's what he is saying. ridiculous defense is if you drive drunk the president thinks it's criminal. how dare he do that of course if you are here illegally one violation, driving drunk number two, god forbid you hit somebody. ainsley: innocent a mom with a baby. brian: that's exactly the point. steve: the question is accurately, you know, if you are in the country illegally, that's breaking the law. but he is making the point using the new jersey standard which is got a lot

of people saying what is that about? brian: if he had my case excuse me, your honor, can you wish my attorney right now would you get out the door please? ainsley: he is the senator from steve's state. brian: only driving drunk, sphempleleave him alone. steve: speaking of members of congress also the speaker said yesterday holland ilhan omr should resign over what she said regarding cultural stereotypes completely over the line. ainsley: no tolerance for someone to be anti-semitic he is saying. brian: for example, in response to glen greenwald offer seen on tucker said this g.o.p. leader kevin mccarthy threatens punishment for congresswoman omar and tlaib over comments on israel. stunning how much time us u.s. political leaders spend defending foreign nation

each if it means attacking free speech of rights of americans. that's what he said and this is what she said back in the tweet. it's all about the benjamins, baby. meaning israelis. it's all about the money. she went on to say. donald trump heard that. heard her apology and said this. >> anti-semitism has no place in the united states congress. and congressman omar is terrible. what she said is so deep seeded in her heart that her lame apology, that's what it was. it was lame. and she didn't mean a word of it. was just not appropriate. i think she should resign from congress, frankly. but at a minimum she shouldn't be on committees. ainsley: the vice president agreed with that nancy pelosi even condemned her for that. steve: absolutely. so nancy pelosi on the same page with donald trump about it's terrible but she did not strip the congresswoman

of her committee assignments which some have suggested is a double standard given what the republicans did to steve king in the last month. brian: the problem is she is on foreign relations on top of that jillian mele, hey, how are you? jillian: good morning, how are you? excellent. get you started with a fox news alert. nypd detective killed by friendly fire during a robbery investigation. >> shots fired. shots fired. [gunfire] detective shot in the chest as he tried stopping a gunman at t mobile store in new york city. a sergeant was shot in the leg and is in stable condition. surveillance video shows suspect christopher ranson holding a fake gun he was also shot and stable. detective simonson leaves behind a wife and two kids. next month would have marked his 19th year on the force. we have a live report on the shooting in a few minutes. president trump weighing in after the senate intel committee makes a bombshell

conclusion in the russian probably. the president tweeting quote the senate intelligence committee there is no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. chairman ruched burr confirming their findings after the committee conducted 200 witness interviews and reviewed more than 300,000 pages of documents. el chapo is going away for good. the mexican drug lord convicted on 10 drug and murder conspiracy charges that carry a mandatory life sentence. he is expected to join the boston bomber and the unabomber at our nation's only super max prison in colorado. known as the alcatraz of the rockies. elle chapo will be sentenced in june. senator ted cruz has suggested using his $14 billion in asset to build a southern border wall. wouldn't that be interesting? steve: that would make it easy. all they have got to do is find the money. ainsley: thanks, jillian. democrats say voter i.d. laws will stop people from voting. a new study says there no proof. j. christian adams says

encourage conspiracy theories massive voter fraud for other voter suppression tactics. >> when we think about voter i.d. which this trump commission is likely to promote what we are talking about is really a political point shaving process. >> that's the next wave of making it more difficult for eligible citizens to register and to vote. brian: great point. just making sure you are who you are is point shaving. for years democrats have warned about the negative impact of voter i.d. laws. we have a new study now a couple of them. strict i.d. laws have concluded have had no negative effect on registration or turnout. no effect at all. overall for any subgroup defined by age, gender race or party affiliation. isn't that a kick in the head? our next guest says this is hardly a surprise. here to explain is former doj attorney j. christian adams. all right, christian. these conclusions they looked at the states and where voter i.d. is required and what did they discover? >> this is a huge survey,

brian. huge. 50,000 sampled. they discovered voter i.d. has absolutely no negative impact on voters. something most of us already knew, a small fringe of dishonest people didn't know. they make money off of this. they raise huge sums of money to pay lawyers to attack states that implement voter i.d. you saw some of them in the roll earlier. this is something most americans agree with and now we know it doesn't do any harm. brian: yeah. they looked at the -- total of 10 states from georgia to wisconsin voters to show i.d. they did a study and turns out it had no negative effect on who turned out. wait a second, it's a republican effort to marginalize minorities. but harvard and the university of bologna feel differently. >> study found it did not effect minorities differently which tells you they have been lying. they have been scaring minorities in the worse possible ways about voter i.d. and election integrity

laws. they use it to increase their own power, to create this hysteria and, frankly, brian, the survey showed if voter i.d. does anything, it increases turnout among minorities. ever so slightly. so, they have not been telling the american people the truth. brian: how does that play out in georgia? >> well, there you go. stacey abrams, one of the queen conspiracy theorists thinks that somehow she lost that race because of a plot. things like voter i.d., citizenship verification. she lost that race because she was a radical in a state like georgia. there is no mystery why she lost and it wasn't voter i.d. brian: all right. j. christian adams they took politics out of it and looked at that data and came to that conclusion. if republicans are smart they will pick up on this. thanks so much, christian, appreciate it? >> thank you, brian. brian: thought you had a rough start to your day nothing compared to this guy. nice. plus voters freaking out about the green new deal now that they know that's when

action. the emergency action that this would do would result in a total grinding to a halt america as an economic and military power. how does that help solve environmental issues? >> it doesn't and i would note that our economy is surging right now. why would you want to do anything with reckless policies to bring it to a halt? they are also say in this deal that the business would somehow work with them. after you raise taxes on these businesses, you think they are going to come and want to work with you? it's just not practical at all. steve: other problem is science. the technology does not exist. i mean, it would be great if we could do a lot of those things. the bad part is you would put a lot of people out of work. the great thing would be if it worked. it does not work. physically it is imonel. >> i think that has something to do why she quickly removed it off her site and said they didn't all the details. look, guys, we joke about this. this is a sitting congresswoman. and a lot of democrats in the mainstream that are running for president are

were lawful. the army has, again, failed one of its most dedicated and faithful warriors which is why i ask you to give your discerning attention to this case. steve: congressman duncan hunter joins us live from d.c. and "fox & friends weekend" co-host pete hegseth as you can see joins us here in the studio. good morning to both of you guys. congressman, let's start with you. back in 2013, the army looked into this and they said, you know, there is not enough to charge him with so we are going to close the case. but then, it seems like after he appeared on television, on the bret baier "special report" program, suddenly people were going wait a minute, this guy should be charged with murder. >> we have been working this for five or six years. i have been thinking about this a long time. you have until jail for 20 years. matt golsteyn under suspicion for pre-med premeditad murder. eddy gallagher in jail in san diego a navy seal is in trouble for killing bad guys the wrong way. what i think we have here is

a case of what the u.s. government would call compassionate combat. meaning the u.s. government the last five years under president bush crystallized under president obama has been wanted us to kill the bad guys but in the right way. meaning they want us to kill guys compassionately and only under the rules of engagement that they say. to say and if you kill the bad guys, that we actually say are bad guys, the wrong way, well, the u.s. government then is going to try you for murder and put you in jail, even if you are a decorated green beret or navy seal. if you are a marine corps force recon, that's where we have fallen here. i think that's the umbrella this falls under. that's why golsteyn is in so much trouble. there is supposed to be a thing now compassionate combat which doesn't exist. either you want us to kilt bad guys or you don't. brian: pete, interviewed him as. pete: absolutely. here is a few more bites of the interview. congressman i know you saw

it as well matt licensed julie golsteyn over this past weekend. >> quiet and had that faith and expectation the commanders would resolve this at some point in time to come back to have $211,000 debt to the government appear on my pay statement so i have got no pay due. pete: wow. >> keep me from my employment, from my family. and, you know, ultimately for my legal counsel. made many appeals to the commands saying this is, you know, this restriction is making it very hard for me to have access to counsel and prepare my defense. and the response has been that my primary duty is post that i never outprocessed. >> it is heart breaking to me as a wife to watch my husband who is honestly the most amazing human being i have ever known to be dragged down. this is not only affecting our family but affecting all of those men who lost their friends jeremy and larry over there their families.

i have heard from their mothers and sisters about how much this hurts them to have to relive this. ainsley: pete, even if he didn't follow protocol and he made a mistake what some of these. steve: killed a bad guy the wrong way. ainsley: he killed a bad guy. he is saying he could get the death penalty now because of that? pete: at best life in prison. at worst death penalty. we know it was a taliban bombmaker who was killed who had killed americans previously. inside the battle of marge gentleman one of the most intense battles in afghanistan. matt golsteyn had a silver star they stripped from him. yet the entire army bureaucracy has descended on him. if not for someone like duncan hunter. i met matt golsteyn for the first time ever in duncan hunter's office in washington, d.c. because, if you don't have a congressman who is willing to step up for you, your story never gets told and you never get a chance to push back. so i mean, the man who gets the credit here is duncan hunter for actually raising this issue.

steve: right. duncan, we have read the information that the president put out about a month and a half ago he was reviewing the case. have you talked to the white house about his case since then? >> no, i have not talked to him. here's the whole point, guys. our job is to close destroy the enemy through fire and close combat. that's it. if you don't like how we do that and if we kill the bad guys the wrong way, that makes the lawyers upset, or the bureaucrats upset or the business people upset, then maybe we should pull out of iraq, pull out of afghanistan and pull out of syria. if you are not going to support the war fighter on the ground, then maybe trump is right. let's do it, let's leave and the lawyers can fly drones so they can all be happy. brian: when buildings start blowing up over here they don't really have a compassionate way to take out skyscrapers, do they? >> exactly. ainsley: that guy was a bombmaker, imagine how many lives were saved because is he no longer alive. pete: i bet duncan feels the same way.

i know on multiple occasion in iraq we released guys that we had captive who we know had attacked us before and were probably going to attack us again. ainsley: why did you release them. pete: because of the rules of engagement and catch and release killing bad guys the right way we are releasing these guys and capturing them again or fighting them again. >> that was under president bush. president obama crystallized the compassionate combat thing. and now it's like 15 years later and we haven't left the lawyerville of how to kill people. if you want us to go kill the enemy. brian: got it one thing president trump has done changed the rules of engagement he has to help us out here. the army says this the primary purpose of this hearing is to determine whether there is enough probable cause for major golsteyn. he violated rule 118 of the uniform code of military justice. premeditated murder. since recalled to active duty, major golsteyn has been afforded the respect, his rank, commands and privileges as any soldier

assigned to united states army special operation commands. to protect major golsteyn's rights and integrity of the process it would be inappropriate to comment further on the case prior to the outcome of the article 32 hearing. pete: if he committed premeditated murder as well then duncan and i did as well. >> put us all in jail. pete: that's how we feel about eddy gallagher. brian: eddie gallagher sits in prison prominently dominated by sexual predators. he sits in prison waiting for his day. he can't even walking around. thanks, duncan. >> thanks, guys. pete: he is an amazing voice for war fighters in congress. steve: we will keep folks posted. ainsley: the president says is he reviewing the case and did call o him a military hero. steve: jillian joins us now. jillian: good morning. one of the women accusing virginia lieutenant governor jump fairfax of sexual assault takes part in a panel on the me too movement. >> when we hear someone else's story, the -- there

>> all this began around 6:10 p.m. yesterday. police tell us two 911 calls came in reporting an armed robbery at the t mobile store here in queens. they responded to the call along with fellow patrol officers from the 102 precinct. when they went into the store they immediately saw the man fitting the description and pointing what appeared to be a handgun at them. we now know it was a fake gun. police opened fire and were retreating from the store and hail of bullets. detective simonson was shot in the chest. sergeant gorman was hit in the leg. is he in stable condition this morning. the suspect christopher ransom was also shot the 27-year-old career criminal is now in critical condition at the hospital. detective simonson was just 42 years old. he leaves behind a wife and two kids. now, what makes this story that much more tragic is that direct threative sigh moneson wasn't supposed to be at work yesterday. is he the delegate of his

ainsley? ainsley: could california's latest failed venture be an ominous sign for the green new deal. the states new governor slamming the brakes on plans it for high speed criminal line saying it's would too expensive with an aprice tag of $77 billion. the nest guest says the move is a blow to the green new deal which aims to nearly eliminate air travel in favor of high speed trainings. joining us now is a california assembly man left and moved to texas chuck devore. good morning, chuck, thanks for being on with us. >> good morning. great to be with you. ainsley: this won't even work in california because it's too expensive which is a smaller scale version of this neil. how in the world could that green new deal work for the rest of the country? >> it can only work if they make fuel so expensive whether through mandates or taxes or regulations that there's just nothing else that you can do. so in the case of california, you had about a 500-mile train that was

supposed to run between los angeles and san francisco. and immediately after voters voted on it about 11 years ago, we found that the cost was going to be more than double what they projected and that the times were going to be probably you know more than double the time it took to get from los angeles to san francisco. in other words, it couldn't compete with southwest airlines. and the ticket prices would be more than double as well. so the whole thing is just collapsing on the weight of its foolishness. this project was really never had a chance. ainsley: so two years ago you told our producer that's predicted that the rail in california was going to fail. what's your prediction for this green deal? >> well, i think you are looking at something very similar. so in california's case, of course, they are going to pretend to work on it because they don't want to give that three and a half billion dollars of federal money back. i think they should take it. ainsley: if they don't continue it they have to give money back. >> yes, 3.5 billion.

can you imagine how much wall in mexico we could build with 3.5 billion? on the federal level suspects just insane to think we could spend trillions of dollars it create a crisscrossing network of high speed rail through the entire country that could somehow replace our very fixture commercial aircraft industry. it's just impossible to think that you could actually make that work economically. >> yeah. plus we all heard that once you give people entitlements you can't take them away. it's the same thing here. once you get on an airplane and you can get across the country in a few hours versus even if it's high speed, it's still not going to be as fast as an airplane, it's hard to take that away from people. >> the thing to remember is america is a continental sized nation. we are not france. franfrance is the size of texas. we are certainly not japan. japan is about the size of california. you have got this enormous nation with vast distances, 3,000 miles between california and boston.

a high speed rail isn't going to cut it. now, if you force people out of your cars and out of their aircraft because fuel is $50 a gallon because tax they want to levy because of global climate change maybe the train would be the only alternative. but we have to look that that's exactly what it's going to take. fuel at 50 bucks a gallon. ainsley: good point. all right. thank you so much, chuck, good to see you. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. president trump says he is not happy with the compromise border bill. but will he sign it? the new hints being dropped this morning. plus, esquire magazine coming under fire latest cover profiling the life of a white male teenager during black history month. is the criticism fair or is the left taking identity politics too far? ♪ my life ♪ ♪

you can see the vice president of the united states in warsaw, poland. commitment to work with partners to help build a strong, secure, economically viable middle east. vp will also participate in bilateral discussions focused on collaborative solutions to crises in the middle east and expanding, deepening u.s., poland relationship. that according to the white house press statement. we'll be monitoring his comments. and if he makes news we'll bring it to you. brian: great for poland too. they're playing host to a major conference where russians and iranians continue to show themselves as big powers and president wants to balance that. secretary of state is in hungary. we're like minded in many cases. we don't want to lose the sphere of influence. ainsley: he is a big supporter of the troops. steve: our big story for the last couple weeks, really, what is the president going to do

when the house and the senate finally vote on something regarding the border deal. we're hearing that the president, we haven't heard from him directly, we heard through his people, he apparently will sign the legislation. he could be voted on the house tonight, the senate tomorrow. he has tweeted this out. ainsley: i want to thank all republicans for the work you have done in dealing with the radical left on border security. not an easy task. but the wall is being built. it will be a great scale achievement and contributor towards life and safety for our country. brian: keep in mind for practical purposes the president will not slow down. he is building 45 miles now. he will brit more money to 55. that will bring him up to december. he will not be done with the 1.5 by september. by september, the negotiations begin. the president will finishwall. if you saw the rally in el paso, it said finish the wall.

steve: these are the in principle ideas. about 1.4 billion for physical barriers. 55 miles of new fencing. ed border patrol can use any current design. no cap on migrants detained by i.c.e. there would be a path to reduce i.c.e. detention beds, improvements to border patrol holding facilities. keep in mind we were talking about the 5.7 billion, the border patrol, the i.c.e. people said to the president, that is how much we need, and if we got the money we could address five of our top priorities. not getting the money. border patrol get 1.3 and get some of their priorities achieved. we'll talk to sarah sanders, white house press secretary live at 8:30 we'll ask here whether or not the president intend to sign it. ainsley: no matter what,

president says he will get a big beautiful wall. find a way to pay for it. his chief of staff says he gets a little money here, a little money there. this is a start. senator shelby this is down payment. we did get you some money mr. president, you can build 55 walls, 55 miles of wall the way you want to build it with the steel slats. many people wonder how he will get the money to pay for it. ted cruz has a good idea. brian: "el chapo" has $14 billion out there. we haven't got it. let's get legislation to put it toward the wall. it will not get 60 votes to the senate as we have seen over the last three months. steve: a great idea. brian: it is not practical idea but intriguing one. ainsley: it is excellent idea. taking drug money building the wall to prevent more money. he says all gangster money that is drug money should be used for national security. steve: why not.

ted cruz tweeted this out. america's justice system is prevailed today in convicting "el chapo" on all 10 counts. u.s. prosecutors are seeking $14 billion in drug profits from "el chapo" which should go towards funding our wall to secure the border. when you think about it, the president has said all along, in the beginning, we're going to get mexico to pay for it. this would be an indirect way to make mexico pay for it. brian: it is another reason to make it easy to vote in a year, because everyone was caught up in beto o'rourke how big his crowd was compared to the president. i was more interested in what he was saying. he is not only for the wall, he says walls hurt and kill people. he is so against the wall, it has negative effect. when you go to the voting booth you won't have a flip of the coin. ainsley: when they seize money from drug lords or gangsters where does that money go?

this is from jim. good idea. limited border security helps move a lot of drugs in the u.s. steve: chris says, who could possibly disagree with that plan? this is common sense solution. using very profits from drugs to stop the problem. i hope ted cruz can get bipartisan support for this. brian: curtis said this, great ideas all people overdosed from the drugs should be put on the wall. argument most of the drugs go through the port entry, we'll be able to do better job at that checking just 15% of vehicles come through. we'll up the number. if you're able to funnel people through ports of entry at a greater rate. we don't know what we don't know. that comes through the areas where there is no barrier. steve: president to build the wall how will he do it? apparently he has two or three other laws on the books to al him to do it.

he could do national emergency, bipartisan objection to that or executive action. there are different tools in his tool belt. stay tuned. once they vote on it, i got a feeling we'll see what the president's next move is pretty fast. ainsley: speaking of voting we talked in the last segment about the green new deal. mitch mcconnell said, he wants the senate to vote on this in his green tie. listen. >> i have noted with great interest the green new deal and we're going to be voting on that in the senate. give everybody an opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the green new deal. brian: killing the insurance sector. they get social ingoing as well. killing oil energy sector. destroying it. getting rid of cars within 10 years. basically all air travel within 10 years. we go to clean-burning trains to go from place to place,

including under the water. steve: it's a great political move on the part of mitch mcconnell because there are some senate democrats who are running for president. so get them on record. are you for not eating meat anymore? are you for taking a train to hawaii. brian: refitting every building in the country. >> are you for that. our beautiful new studio we'll have to rebuild it so it is more energy effective. charlie kirk was on about an hour 1/2 ago with brian. democratic counter point of view. look, this green new deal, not a good deal. >> this is a regressive deal, not a progressive deal. this shows how radical the democratic party has become. with booming economic growth, wages are growth up, record low youth unemployment in 60 years, this is the democrat parties platform to have regressive policies to make us competitive internationally and destroy our

energy superiority internationally. it is somewhat laughable but at the same time i find it kind of scary. steve: it is scary to a lot of people. that was the proposal by -- ainsley: aoc. steve: aoc. one of her proposals about a month earlier was, if you are really rich person, let's tax you once you make your 10 millionth dollar at 70%. bill gates, one of the richest people in the world -- ainsley: he would be affected by it. steve: he would be be a feasted. -- affected by it. here he is. >> u.s. tax rates can be progressive. you have some politicians who are extreme that is even beyond, you start to create tax dodging and disincentives and you know, an incentive to have the income show up in other countries and things. but we can be more progressive.

the estate tax, tax on capital, the way fica social security tax, we can be more progressive without threatening income generation. what you have left to decide how to spread around. brian: right. he is not exactly a firebrand righty. howard schultz even says i try to understand what they're suggesting. i don't understand how you give a job to everyone, how you give free college to everyone, give free energy across the country. you have to build 2 to 3,000 buildings a day. that would be $32 trillion. that is 40 trillion, plus right now we're sitting -- how do you propose that? how do you get behind that? ainsley: she knows that. she is really progressive. like the person who runs for fifth grade president, promise candy to everyone, longer recesses. every kid loves it. everyone wants to hear it. no way to actually do it. brian: she puts it forward, she has all the people behind her. ainsley: we never grow up. steve: what are they getting

that we're missing? brian: we'll find out. steve: why mitch mcconnell saying okay, all of you senators who are running for president, let's have you say, let's get rid of the beef. where is the beef? it's gone. ainsley: start varney always says wall street wants someone like schultz and he understands finance, what could work. brian: the president in his rally last two weeks, late-term abortion, socialism, the green new deal listen, that is your choice. me or that. steve: i think the administration regards the green new deal of donald trump's re-election. the more he talks about it, do you think we can do all of that stuff? people go -- ainsley: not prattally. steve: not scientifically possible at this point. >> jillian has more headlines. jillian: we continue to follow the story out of new york. let's get you caught up with a fox news alert. an nypd detective killed by friendly fire during a robbery investigation. >> shots fired.

shots fired.

i don't, i'm not optimistic. i don't think the president is optimistic that congress will help him do this. you have a lot of democrats who want an open border situation on our southern border. when we look at this, brian, what we have to do is have to encourage the president to take some type of executive action, if congress is not going to work. brian: are you going to be disappointed in the president, who is a friend of yours, you talk all the time, if he signs this? >> well i'm not going to be disappointed in the president. i'm disappointed in congress. the president wants to keep the government open. if he use this is as a vehicle, so be it. let me stress this, brian. no one has seen the deal. they were still negotiating it last night. democrats were trying add things to do this deal last night, nobody has seen the text. not even the conferees have seen it. so at this point if we're voting on 1000 page plus bill today, i want to read it before i vote on it. so i would encourage the president to look at continuing

resolution, would help him to do that. brian: there will be -- do you believe the president has another plan after this is signed, right, to get some more money? >> obviously it has been reported and been talked about in terms of potential executive actions. i would encourage him in that. he has statutes. there are laws currently on the books to allow him to do that. if congress is not going to help him, i would encourage him to use those laws, to actually build the wall, get it done for the american people. brian: mark meadows, expects the president to sign it. you are disappointed as the president was expressed yesterday. he does not want to shut down the government. more to come. mark meadows, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: straight ahead "esquire" magazine is under fire of an in-depth profile of a white teenager from the midwest. michael knows weighs in. press secretary sarah sanders has her hands full today we have she officially starts the day.

have contempt. we saw the covington boys waiting for school bus in washington, d.c., after it turned out that the kids had done nothing wrong, senior culture writer at buzzfeed, regardless of the video, why that face caused a visceral reaction in so many. that face, the face after young white teen boy. they have driven themselves on the left so crazy with the politics of victim-hood, identity politics of race and sex, that they have convinced themselves there is this one evil category of person. the yale daily news, the student newspaper the other day just ran a piece about how all white, brown haired young men are evil. this is the consequence, the toxic consequence of leftist identity politics. i give esquire a lot of credit for running this timely piece.

steve: michael, you read it, it is, you know exactly what this kid is going through in his life and talks about his mom an everything else. but some have suggested it is tone deaf to be putting him on the cover of "esquire" during black history month. >> well, they don't have yet a middle class teen white boy month. i don't know what month would be suitable to run it. not as though esquire has not run covers of black men. they had two black men on the cover the last year, chadwick boseman, donald glover. they had idris elba and pharell. the left found a conclusion and searching for an argument. the conclusion should be we shouldn't have any sympathy for awful oppressors, young white men. the argument saying february is inappropriate month for that. if they had done it next month they would call it inappropriate

too. the problem for the left is the subject, not the timing. ainsley: the editor-in-chief of the magazine says the task of grappling with the world has to be more complicated for kids than it ever has been. a series of growing up now, white, black, lgbt, female, that will continue to appear in coming issues. they will highlight what it is like to grow up in each of these situations. steve: it's a series. >> of course. it is important in this case, because as the article couldn'ts out, this culture is very confused and a kid such as this, all american kids, are receiving very mixed messages. we're told men and women are exactly the same. there is no difference whatsoever and yet, men can become women, women can become men, yet we have to treat women with one very specific attitude. men very differently. we're told race doesn't matter. we're told we should base everybody on the content of their character. then as it kid found out, we're

told certain people should shut up. people who are white and male should not be allowed to hold opinions based on the color of their skin or their sex, as though their opinion was not determined by the content of the opinion itself. they're working through these questions. i think it is wonderful esquire is shining a lot on it. brian: it is interesting, you're finding something with an angle. his angle he is normal kid. likes to hunt. doesn't like sports. likes videogames. wants to be an engineer and go to college. that is an interesting thing to do as an editor. i can't believe it is controversial. michael knowles, thanks so much. >> good to see you. ainsley: thanks, michael. 29 minutes before the top of the hour. senator trump thanks the senate intel committee after their report finds no collusion with russia. we will discuss it with white house press secretary sarah sanders. >> he was a cool kid in college. >> definitely snoop. type pack. for sure. steve: well her memory may be a

little hazy. we've got the timeline of the senator coming up. ♪ i was on the fence about changing from a manual to an electric toothbrush. but my hygienist said going electric could lead to way cleaner teeth. she said, get the one inspired by dentists, with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's gentle rounded brush head

♪ >> will you sign congress' border deal? >> i have to study it. i'm not happy about it, i'm not happy but am i happy with where we're going? i'm thrilled. because we're supplementing things and moving things around. we're doing things that are fantastic. the bottom line we're building a lot of wall. right now we're building a lot of wall. steve: let's talk to sarah sanders, white house press secretary. she joins us from the north lawn of the white house. ainsley: good morning.

>> good morning. great to be with you guys. steve: great to have you. they're still writing the bill on border compromise. i know the language is a problem. some people are putting things in that could be deal breakers. the president doesn't like it, but he will sign it, right? >> we'll see what the final package looks like, like you said, like the president said yesterday he is not happy about it, but it is okay he will get the job done no matter what. he has alternative options. and he will keep those on the table. we'll see what the final package looks like. the president will make a determination whether or not he is going to sign it. you can rest assured the president promised he will build the wall and he will deliver and like he said he would run for president and win, he has and he would make better trade deals and he has and he said he would rebuild the miller terri and he has. he said he would rebuild the economy and he has done that. he will build the wall and he will get that done too. ainsley: so he will sign it,

sarah? >> the president wants to see what final package looks like. he will headache a decision at that point. they're still tinkering making edits to the legislation. once we see what the final piece looks like the president can make that decision. again this has made some progress. nancy pelosi said she wasn't going to give a dollar for the wall. this has roughly $1.4 billion, that will go towards the wall, that the whole country knows that we need, knows that the president is going to make happen. in total it gives $23 billion in border security which is desperately needed. it expands i.c.e., versus abolishes i.c.e., like we heard some democrats talk about in the past. there are some positives in this bill. but it is certainly not enough. that is why the president is not happy. but at the same time, while we've been negotiating this, the president and his team have been looking at every option possible, to get the full funding they need in order to complete the wall. brian: something else happened yesterday, not getting as much

attention, but the president did thank msnbc -- >> there is first time for everything. brian: right. the senator burr, who chairs the investigative committee, was looking into russia with the ranking member warner who has been out front really for the last two years as if he was leading it, came out and said we found no evidence of president trump colluding with russia in the 2016 election. so this, this committee, which has been lauded from republicans and democrats for putting party aside, came to that conclusion. what's your reaction? >> it is exactly what we've been saying all along. we're glad they finally caught up. it is sad, hurtful for the country, it has taken two years to get there but we're glad to see they see what we have been saying all along. there was absolutely no collusion. i think it is time for everybody to be able to move on and move forward so we can focus on the big things americans actually care about. this certainly isn't one of them.

steve: what about this, it will be interesting to see if they do move on. i doubt it. but a couple of nights ago in el paso somebody, obviously supporter of the president because they were in attendance at the event, apparently tried to take out a bbc reporter, or a camera guy or something like that. you have put out a statement, that is over the line. people, you condemn any sort of attacks on anybody, right? >> absolutely. the idea that the president or anybody on his team or in his administration would encourage violence is absolutely absurd. the president stopped, asked, made sure, everyone was okay, before continuing on with the event. certainly we condemn violence in any form against anyone, and that certainly includes the press. brian: the most people are not focusing on something that could impact the world economy like nothing else, and that is china. how would you characterize where we're at with the china trade

talks and will the president push back the deadline for putting tariffs on that country and on those products? >> we'll see what happens whether or not the president makes a move to change the deadline. we have got a team that is in beijing right now. those conversations are on going. we expect them to go through the end of this week. we've seen progress on this front since the president started negotiating with president xi and we'll see what happens. i think it will ultimately take the president, president trump and president xi sitting down face-to-face figuring that out and getting that final deal. they are the only two who ultimately will be able to nail that down. we're seeing progress. we're glad our team is on the ground continuing the negotiations. brian: mar-a-lago might be the place where they sit down, is that correct? >> certainly could be. i think it would be a great screen you. it's a beautiful property and the president, i think it's a great place for the president to

be able to have a different type of interaction with world leaders. we've seen it play very well in the past with both president xi and abe of japan. so i think it would be a great location for the president to host any type of meeting like that. ainsley: sarah, what type of interaction can we expect with him and kim jong-un when they meet in vietnam soon? >> i think they developed a good relationship over the course of the last several months, the first meeting and summit had in singapore was incredibly successful. they have shown signs of good faith, whether it was sending the hostages home, sending the remains of our soldiers back home which several have now been identified and matched with their families. they have not been testing missiles an firing nuclear weapons off of the those are positive signs and things that show the relationship matters, the relationship this president has developed. as he said before, if it wasn't for him it is a very good chance

we would be at war with north korea. instead we're having peaceful sit-down conversations and this is another great step in that relationship and that process. steve: there have been some good faith efforts. but you heard from the intel people and others there have been bad faith things going on behind the scenes there as well. >> that is another reason the president needs to continue this relationship. the job isn't finished and we'll see what happens but it is important that we're taking steps and we're making progress. as the president said he is not in a hurry to get it done. he wants to make sure we do it right and eventually we see denuclearization of the peninsula. ainsley: thanks, sarah. >> thanks so much, guys. >> you're welcome. steve: thanks for joining us on another slow news day. ainsley: jillian has headlines. jillian: slow news day doesn't exist anymore. of the starting with this a man accused of and shooting and killing a border patrol agent in 2010 is convicted of first

♪ steve: my, oh, my, how times have changed. remember back in the day when bill clinton was running for president and he said, you know, he did smoke marijuana once upon a time but he didn't like it and he did not inhale. kamala harris, senator from the great state of california was on "the breakfast club" here in new york which is described as the world's most dangerous morning show, dangerous because what they talk about. ainsley: she talked about smoking pot and music she listened when she was in college. listen to this. >> have you ever smoked? >> i have. >> okay. >> i inhaled. i did inhale.
