he is going to sign it and at the same time issue a national emergency to get more money for the wall. steve: what's going to happen after that? we told you the democrats are going to drag him into court. sure delay will happen. first, after the president declares it's a national emergency humanitarian problem at our southern border, the flow of drugs. immediately after he does that house judiciary chairman jerry nadler is going to introduce into the house a resolution of disapproval that would overturn the president's emergency declaration that's the way the law was written. if it passes it will pass the house by a simple majority. then it goes to the senate. if they get 51 votes in the thasenate, then essentially the president would be out of luck. he would then have to veto it, which would be the first veto of his administration. but, if he cannot get 512349 55n the senate. that makes him look bad because republicans voted

against him. brian: "the washington post" reports that mitch mcconnell got a call from the white house saying the more i'm reading this bill i don't want to sign it mitch mcconnell was beginning to panic what do you mean you are not going to sign it you have got to sign it we have got to fund the government. it's a terrible bill full of poison pills. steve: it is. brian: i want to make sure that i can declare state of emergency because i have got and been working on the past three months ways to get additional funding to the tune of $8 billion. so if i can do that and you are going to back that i the sign. this mitch mcconnell said fine, i will do it. he said we will vote on it they voted first. they got 83 votes. more than enough. the house would vote later. get more than enough. then mitch mcconnell would say the president also plans on declaring a state of emergency. ainsley: legislation falls short. he says i'm going to find other ways to get that money. you are giving me 1.4 billion through this deal. i'm also going to get 600 million from the treasury department. the drug forfeiture fund. 2.5 billion from the defense

department for the drug train addiction program and 3.5 billion from the defense department military construction budget. steve: right. ainsley: all to be used to you build that wall to keep drugs out of the country. steve: i'm sure a lot of the president's base this morning good, that's exactly why we put you there. we wanted you to do that. do you know who doesn't like it? the democrats. >> declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act. >> if it was an emergency every time a president of the united states couldn't get what they'ved from congress we would be in a constant state of emergency. >> we fought the revolutionary war not to have king george or a successor. this is the actions of a king. and no matter which route he takes it, will be challenged from the court. >> if the president can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency, an allusion that he wants to convey just think of what a president with different values can present to the american people. brian: been on the books since 1976. 58 times presidents with

different values have been in the white house and 58 times. and in fact, 31 of the emergency actions are still on the books since 1976. so how bad can they be? and we know we have had a diversity of opinions of people in the white house. president obama did it dozens of times. president trump dba dozen times. president trump has already had three executive orders declaring a state of emergency. ainsley: you heard democrats that aren't for it a lot of republicans that are for this. listen to this. >> i think he will go the the national emergency route. we had three weeks to find a compromise. the hope was we could give the president his budget number and do something aboutpsand daca. that ship never appeared. >> i don't join with my colleagues in believing if the president does this, when he does it he has declared he is going to do it that it will be the end of western order. i don't believe that. steve: really it comes down to this. do you think what is going on on our southern border is

a national emergency? well when you look at the number of people that were apprehended in 2018, it was close to 400,000 that were apprehended. how many weren't apprehended on average that's 1100 per day. so if you think that there is a national emergency with so many people flowing across our southern border whether it's the sex trafficking which the president has talked about or the drugs, you are firmly behind the president in doing. this then you have got to ask yourself is that pentagon money that was appropriated by congress to do different things, like drug interdiction or military construction clearly would both be drugs building is on our southern border. if you can make the argument that that all makes sense you think what is he doing is absolutely a okay. ainsley: that's one of the reasons people went to vote for him for that wall. you ask the republicans support him and the wall. it's common sense.

don't you want to know who is coming into the country. keep tabs who is coming. in they don't have a heart for the people in the southern countries below us that don't have as much as we do. they know the country is amazing. make sure we know who is coming. in we have a major drug problem in our country. kids are dying all the time because they are overdosing on this. fentanyl takes like three little drops and you are dead. steve: three grains the size of a grain of salt can kill a person. ainsley: amazing. brian: the world didn't come to an end when bill clinton did it 17 times or george bush 14 times. it's got to work its way through the court and the fact it's an emergency it will go there fast. ainsley: they expect it to go through court but they expect to win on appeal. steve: generally the courts uphold the president of the united states has broad authority to protect the country. you will hear from the president himself. he will be live in the rose garden we believe exactly four hours from now. you have will see it on fox. meanwhile had andy mccabe

essentially not had his way, the president would not be in the white house today becausheis revealing in this new book and "60 minutes" interview that apparently some top doj officials and fbi officials were trying to recruit -- talked about recruiting cabinet members and the vice president to oust the president of the united states via the 25th amendment. listen to this. >> i was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency. and who might have done so with the aid of the government of russia, our must formidable adversary on the world stage and that was something that troubled me greatly. i was very concerned that i was able to put the russia case on absolutely solid ground in an indelible fashion that were i removed quickly or reassigned or

fired, that the case could not be closed. steve: really? brian: meanwhile andy mccabe has a little problem. he brought focus on what he did and didn't do as deputy director and. they recommended a criminal referral for andy mccabe. you cannot say he is telling the truth and at the same time back james comey. they contradict each other at person times during important time lines no. doubt about it he was taking head counts in order to overthrow the president. the vice president said said no one came up to me would i take over the job should andy mccabe and the fbi do a palace coup. that's what alan dershowitz was saying and fearing. >> any justice department official who even mentioned the 25th amendment in the context of president trump has committed a grievous offense against the constitution. the framers of the 25th amendment had in mind something very specific. and trying to use the 25th

amendment to circumvent the impeachment provisions or to circumvent an election is a despicable act of unconstitutional power grabbing. i tha challenge any of my colleagues get trump at any cost camp come on television and justify the use of the 25th amendment other than for physical or psychiatric incapacity. ainsley: basically just said that if the president resigned or if the president passed away while he was in office the vice president would take his spot. knowing what we know about this vice president, i surely doubt he would ever go against and not be loyal to the current administration. steve: here's the thing. the 25th amendment is very clear about how you would get rid of the president. it does involve the vice president, it involved the cabinet it does not involve the department of justice and the fbi. and that's what they were trying to do. brian: the deputy attorney general, we know going to wear a wire or were you kidding? who kids sarcastically says

i'm going to go in and meet with the president and wear a wire around try to overthrow the government. i was kidding about that. i have news for you andy mccabe or that source in the "new york times" says you weren't kidding. we have got get rosenstein i believe under oath in public to tell us who is lying? you, andy mccabe? or james comey. steve: congress has been trying to get him up on the hill for the last six months he says i will have informal meetings. i don't want to be under oath. now lindsey graham wants to subpoena him unless he shows up and testifies. ainsley: he says he was not joke. there were multiple occasions where he discussed wearing a wire. brian: how does he still have that job? how does he go to work every day trying to overthrow the president? steve: appears mr. mccabe on this clip for "60 minutes," people will be watching and trying to figure out what the heck else happened behind the scenes. brian: 10 minutes after the hour, jillian mele won't tell us what goes on behind the scenes at your show.

you will tell us what's going on in the news. jillian: amazon pulling the plug on plans to build a new york city headquarters. democrat governor andrew cuomo now slamming his own party over this move. he claims it will cost $30 billion in revenue and 25,000 jobs adding, quote: the small group of politicians put their own narrow political interests above their community. democratic socialist congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez praising new yorkers for defeating, quote: amazon's corporate greed. not the last you will hear of that william barr is officially confirmed as the u.s. attorney general. barr sworn in by chief justice john roberts at the oval office with his wife and senator lindsey graham by his side. his three daughters and grandchildren also at the ceremony hours after the senate confirmed him in a 54-45 vote. barr previously served as ag under president george h.w. bush. today a federal judge will hear arguments about adding a citizenship questions on the 2020 census.

♪ brian: president trump forced to declare a national emergency to build his wall and get other border security. the move is expected to draw challenges. how would this compare to challenges by former presidents is the law on his side or not? let's ask law professor jonathan turley. jonathan, they will use your case against president obama for what? >> well, that's right. they are using the case where i represented the house of representatives against obamacare. and we won. this is not the same case. what president obama did was order the treasury, certainly to opened up into insurance companies that's a different type of funding. going to use money by congress doesn't have tight conditions on them.

that's congress' decision to make. they can appropriate money and not put many conditions on. it's going to be a different fight. so there is two issues here for the court. the authority, the authority to declare the emergency and the source of the funds. on the source of authority, they will lose in a spectacular fashion because they gave this authority to the president. brian: in 1976. >> that's right. he and other presidents have virtually unfettered authority to declare an emergency. on the funds, this is not our case from the obamacare fight. they have a much more difficult time in challenging all of these funds. remember, the president can start construction with the money congress just gave him. and even if they knocked out one or two of these sources he still has plenty to go pretty far down that road. brian: bring me to the legal road. who files the suit. i found it curious the speaker wouldn't say if he files a national emergency i would look to stop it didn't commit to that if you want to stop the president, how

do you file it? >> well, can i tell you i hope the house of representatives is not foolish enough to file as an entire house the way they did when i represented them because they could lose that important victory that we secured not that long ago. they don't have to do that. they can go down to the texas border. find some rancher that will be subject to seizure of their land. those people have standing. they can sue it will go probably to the d.c. district court. it could happen in some other jurisdictions. and the court will have to decide if it's going to enjoin this construction. i don't think it will because they have a green light to start construction. now, the court might enjoin some sources of funding. but, that's not going to change much. that building is going to start along that line. if the court. brian: with the 1 pin 3 it will start building. county president begin with the 8 that he found in

different departments while this makes its way through the court? >> he can until the court enjoins him. but the important thing is when -- if congress goes in front of the court and says we want you to stop this, the court is going to say whoa, whoa, whoa. you first of all gave this authority to the president without many conditions. you gave this money without many limitations. more importantly when you passed this act. you gave yourself the right to rescind it. to reject it. so you are coming to me to do something that you could do but you don't have the votes. and that's not normally what we do here in the judiciary branch. brian: fascinating. so the president is going to sign this bill and declare a state of emergency all before noon. exciting day. 58 times national state of emergency has been declared by the president since 197631 of those emergencies are still on the books. jonathan turley, fascinating time. thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. >> as the president gets ready to declare a national emergency to build a wall.

ainsley, thank you. democrats are gearing up for 2020 pushing further to the left with some socialist policies. but according to a brand new fox news poll out this week, the majority of americans prefer capitalism instead. take a look at the big wall. nearly 60% of voters. 57% to be exact say they have a positive view of capitalism. more than twice the number who feel the same about socialism. so what do younger generations not understand about capitalism or why do they like socialism we have a conversation in the studio. an attorney who fled communist albania and jason nicoles lecturer of african-american studies at the university of maryland. good morning to both of you guys. >> good morning. >> good morning, steve. steve: jason, let's start with you. what is it about socialism that you think has captured the imagination of a lot of young people? >> well, first of all, i think we have to start out and understand that socialism and capitalism can coexist. this idea that there has to

be this clear dichotomy between the two is kind of a false dichotomy. i believe that socialism, you know, people seem to hate socialism like had you in your poll until you tell them that you are going to get rid of their medicare or their social security which were socialist programs. i think, you know, the idea that we can't have an expansion of the welfare state and also have some elements of private ownership i think is a false dichotomy. steve: all right. peter, your family fled al bane i can't. your father tortured to death by a socialist regime. i have a feeling you don't feel the same way. >> actually, i don't. i'm surprised the numbers we got americans approving capitalism. i think it could be worse if you take into account what the media is doing to socialism, promoting every day. and beating up capitalism. what the social media doing with capitalism, i'm surprised we got that number. if people knew how evil socialism is, the approval

of capitalism. steve: what do you mean east evil, peter? >> it is complete evil. it replaces god with government. it is against prosperity it is against liberty. it is conformity and if you don't conform with socialism, brutal force is going to be used against anyone who disagrees with it. i have seen that movie and i don't like the ending of it. my family suffered and endured under socialism and the story that i'm sharing with you can be shared by millions of americans, legal immigrants who came to the united states. steve: the university of maryland where you are a lecturer, are you one of the people who tries to show your class the benefits of socialism and say hey, this is something we should be working for? >> well, what i do tell them is about the roots of capitalism and how they can be exploitive. the roots of capitalism in this parts of the world and western hemisphere are slave trade and slavery. i feel terrible for the people who have gone through dictatorships and misuse of

socialism and as i said, i don't think that we should have either capitalism or socialism in a vacuum. i think we need social democracy which is an expansion of the welfare state. when you look at capitalism it's very exploitative. steve: the way you said it earlier there are social programs right now in the united states down on their luck or retired and need social security and things like that. that is an example of socialism in our democracy, right? that's what you are saying? >> yes. yes, that is what i'm saying. i think we can also expand it further in terms of more protections for american workers. i believe in medicare for all. i believe every human being needs healthcare and that's a human right. i think we can expand it even further. steve: jason, thank you very much. peter, i will give you the final word. >> socialism is all with commands and control. when you look at capitalism. capitalism has lifted more

people out of poverty than any other system in the world. if you give capitalism the free markets and allow the free markets to determine the people's future. allow people to be free, allowing individuality to prosper. prosperity and liberty, they go hand in hand. socialism kills that there is no prosperity or freedom or liberty under socialism. steve: we are going to leave it there right now. we report, you decide. peter and jason, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thanks, peter. >> thank you for having us. steve: what do you think about that? email us at friends@foxnews.com. 6:30 in new york city. a man attacked by a mountain lion while hiking speaking out for the very first time. listen to. this there was a point i was concerned i wasn't going to make it out. i knew pretty good blows to the back of the head it didn't release i was going to have to do something a little more drastic. steve: he did. the incredible survival story of that man coming up next. forget building walls. beto o'rourke wants to tear down the walls that are there right now.

is he going to go into the same rose garden and he is going to sign the bill and declare a national emergency. ned ryun, republican strategist. he was a speech writer for george w. bush and founder and ceo of american majority. do you like the way the president is doing this? i think he is com compelled to do something. this bill far more odious than people want to acknowledge. the wall funds are restricted to the rio grande sector, 55 miles. local government has the control that guess who controls that sector democrats? i'm telling people, if it's any of those miles are actually built, it will be years from now, i think they are just going sob doing resist and restrict and try to prevent that from being built. i think is he compelled to go this route. i'm not crazy about the national emergency route. i have been arguing for the department of defense's section 284 authorization. you don't have to declare national emergency. steve: reprogram that money.

border and you have a republican congressman dan crenshaw who is asking the question. any a chance to sit down with beto o'rourke i would ask him this question. if you could snap your fingers and make el paso border wall disappear would you? chris hayes asked him a similar question. listen to this. it's hard to make a rational case for emergency declaration or troops on the border or any amount of additional border walls or border fencing or steel slats. the border has never been as safe and secure as it is now. if you could, would you take the wall down now here? >> yes. >> like you have a wall? >> absolutely. ainsley: he will absolutely support tearing down the wall. >> i have to tell you what i find refreshing these days how honest the democrats with r. being about very radical views. i have been arguing the democratic party has been masquerading as a central left party for years when they true in fact are a socialist party. they want open borders. i find this refreshing. this is what they want.

they want an open border approach for him to say that our borders have never been more secure. you guys just showed that graphic 400,000 people a year coming through our southern border. this is not the right approach a sovereign nation takes. we have to actually have borders. brian: goes to show you how this is pure politics. he says the walls right now are forcing illegals towards the most dangerous places to cross. wait a second. so you are saying the wall is forcing people to go a different direction so that direction. >> they don't you want the wall they want people to keep pouring in because they think they are building out their political base: donald trump has to make more immigration reform. ainsley: open the borders, come on, in we will pay for everything for you. free healthcare and free free college. >> non-citizens coming in end up on a form of social welfare if you have been in the country more than 10 years it goes to 70%.

america's muslims in her remarks she has branded every muslim in the america as anti-semite. this is absolutely unacceptable and unislamic. she has shown a degree of inslans, arrogance anti-semitic expreparations and beliefs for years going back to tweets in 2012. the jewish committee in minnesota approached her to try and see where these ideas were coming from and help her understand. it's a disgrace and to single out aipac by the way i'm not paid by aipac. i have no relationship with them. she failed to mention that muslim nations, saudi arabia, qatar spend februaries of millions of dollars more on lobbying than aipac does. there is an incredible bias that is disturbing and to me speaks of islamist anti-semitism. ainsley: should she be penalized? some are calling for her to step down. >> eject her from the house of foreign affairs

committee. they have no justification for keeping her there anything she is proposing is now going to be interpreted through the lens of anti-semitism. we also are very concerned, i am, that she is affiliated with the boycott divestment sanction movement which is legitimizing and normalizing anti-semitism. it's a movement that calls for the eradication for the state of israel which is unacceptable. it's disguised as a human rights movement but it's actually anti-semitism and that's the new anti-semitism. it's infecting islam. there is an op-ed in the "the washington post" about it by a colleague anti-semitism is carried thought through islam whether muslims like it or not. that is an think they particular call to islamic believes. she elm bodies that and american muslims must reject it. ainsley: my intention is never to jewish americans as a whole. at the same time i reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics,

whether it be the aipac or the nra or the fos sill fuel industry is that satisfactory to you. >> that rings hollow. there is no reason for anti-semitic speech. it's not only hate speech it's genocidal speech. only vilification or prejudice of a people that leads directly to genocide. it's unacceptable. secondly, about lobbying welcome to liberal democracy. this is america. we get to lobby our government in any number of interests with any means that the citizens want. so she doesn't accept that she doesn't want to participate in the vibrant democracy that america is. ainsley: if this is really -- if she has this much hate in her heart for the jewish people, where does that come from? what is her background? why would she believe that? >> so, certainly it, does not come from islam, which teaches us to treasure and revere the tore remarks moses, just as it does jesus and the bible. it's not coming from islam.

this is day novo this is a 20th century construction that has adopted the northern arab world and rife amongst muslims who don't have critical thinking and who see maybe the success of israel or maybe the intelligence of the jewish community with resentment and with animus. and i don't accept that it's a means to advocate for the palestinian people either. the palestinian people need advocates. they have advocates just as the jewish people do, too. and many more besieged muslim populations in the world than the palestinians, the and others facing literal genocides at the moment. so, it is absolute hypocrisy. the other thing that i think prevents americans from understanding this and particularly the democratic party, there are enormous fears that saying these

things is somehow islamophobic. to all the viewers and listening, criticizing the endorsement of anti-semitic, anti-israel, anti-zionist speech by a muslim is not islamophobia. that is a false construct that just prefers islamism and denies us to look at the truth. ainsley: thank you so much for being with us. have you heard about flipping houses there is a new flipping trend. listen to this. rating clearance i'lls and reselling the items for full price it worked so well next guest just quit their jobs. they will tell us their secrets, next.

and resell on amazon for about $8. steve: perfect. >> a light bulb went off on our heads and we were like there has to be more. steve: absolutely. i remember, kristin, back 20 years ago when ebay first came out people would try to sell things one at a time. you look for a bunch of things that you might be able to make a couple of dollars on each one. where do you find the stuff? >> yeah. that's correct. justin and i have two young children and so we needed something that, you know, easy to access because, you know, we can't, you know, with two young children, it's hard to get anything done. so, if we can find bulk items easier for our lifestyle. ainsley: how do you find the deals? do you all look through the newspaper or go shop to shop or store to store? steve: the sale rack. >> literally go store to

store. more oftentimes there are some tools out there that you can use online. but, usually those are heavily trafficked by other people that are doing stuff like what we do. we tend to look for stuff that's out of the norm. maybe different stores that usually aren't seen as potential profitable places for other amazon sellers. we try to just think outside the box and go in there and hit the clearance aisles and look at anything that might be there. and that's how it is. steve: okay. brian: capitalism. steve: folks like more information follow you guys on instagram you are at flipping profits justin and kristin herbert, thank you very much. ainsley: thanks y'all. >> thank you. brian: there is the ingenuity. steve: what a good idea. ainsley: colin kaepernick has been out of the nfl for three years now. his supporters say he wants to play. he was just given a chance. why did he say no? brian: a big show ahead.

about for a while. three hours from now president trump out in the rose garden will declare a national emergency over border security then is going to sign make spending bill. brian: congress passing a measure overnight in the hopes of stopping another government shutdown. it was successful. it doesn't end there. ainsley: kevin corke joins us live from the house where the president will address the nation. kevin? >> good morning, folks, you are right. this will be a very interesting opportunity for the president not just to talk about his mindset behind calling and declaring a national emergency. it's also very important to talk about how he intends to get money to fund national security, borders, and, of -- br security and building a wall on our southern border. we talked a great deal how the president would move money from different pots to try to achieve his ultimate goal. that is coming up with $25 billion to fund borders. as we take a look inside the numbers. you get a sense from what is he really going to try to do. he is going to claim

$8 billion for the border wall. 1.375 billion for the border security compromise which we talked about yet. that is part of the bill. there is also $3.5 billion that he intends to claim out of the dod's military construction budget to again create that border barrier. another $2.5 billion of the dod's drug interdiction program and for good measure, $600 million out of the treasury's drug forfeiture fund. again, trying to collect as much as he can from different pots in the government to, again, secure the border. now, the white house as you can imagine has been talking about this idea ha that we have to do something if congressional lawmakers won't. sarah sanders had a statement yesterday. i want to read part of it. she said. this president trump will sign the government funding bill. and as he has stated before, he will also take other executive action including a national emergency. there it is. to ensure we stop the national security and humanitarian crisis at the border. you may have heard nancy

pelosi say plainly yesterday, you do this now, be careful. a democrat president might decide to do something similar in the future. that's not stopping the president because he says this is a real crisis. and has to be tackled right now. of course, that's coming up at 10:00 a.m. we have live coverage. for now, back to you. steve: thanks for explaining the numbers, kevin. the president is going to make it really easy. i think his base understands. this he is going to probably say look, i have been trying for -- i have been working for two years with congress to try to do something. and i haven't been able to get as much as i have wanted to. i listened to the lawyers. i personally feel i can get this $8 billion out of money that is already been appropriated from congress for various reasons for drugs and military. and use it right there. you sent me to washington to do something about the southern border. this is it. well will the democrats take him to court? only if jerry nadler who is going to immediately file a resolution of disapproval only if that fails in the

house and then the senate. it will probably pass the house. but then it could actually pass in the senate because there are some republicans who do not like the fact that the president is going to declare a national emergency. ainsley: as soon as the president said national emergency, almost instantly he was met with fierce criticism by the democrats. listen. declaring a national emergency where there is no national emergency is not good for the president to do. >> declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act. >> i think all of us will come to regret this. this is not the right way for the president to try and end run congress. >> if it were an emergency every time a president the united states couldn't get what they wanted from congress we would be in a constant state of emergency. >> we fought the revolutionary war not to have king george or a successor. this is the actions of a king. and no matter which route he takes it, will be challenged in the courts. brian: it's called 1976 rule that's been used multiple

times in order for a president to use -- take action state of emergency. always challenge in this court. immediately declaring all of the daca kids declared adults could stay here. the problem is 1.375 billion for border fencing and border barrier, ballard fencing. so many limitations to it. confer locally if we want top build a wall neither butterfly park. near the historical park wild refuge. not only is he not getting enough money he is getting money so restricted they would have wall challenges through the 55 miles. ainsley: look at that brian. as we look at the presidents there. you see how many times that bill clinton used a state of emergency. 17 times george w. bush 13 times. but what the president has done here is he basically said. this nancy pelosi for 35 days she would not negotiate with me. i stopped your plane because you wouldn't negotiate with me. you still didn't negotiate with me. guy back because you told me to to negotiate fairly.

i saw what you gave me. i read it i'm outraged by it. i almost ripped it up. called mitch mcconnell and said i'm not voting for it. tell everybody. mcconnell talks him off the ledge and said you just make sure everybody knows that i'm putting the state of emergency out there. mitch mcconnell goes okay. i will back that, mr. president. so you would think he would. steve: if you were the president and looked at the bill the congress handed him. it's a stink bomb it does not have nearly the amount of money that he wanted and so restrictive. that's why he is going to do the state of emergency. apparently he was leaning against the bill. his attorneys saying let's just program money. state of emergency way too complicated an hour ago brian talked to jonathan turley. what does he say about the state of the emergency? that the president is going to declare in three hours? he said this. if congress goes in front of the court and says we want you to stop. this the court is going to say woe, woe, woe, you gave

this to the authority to the president without any conditions and money without limitations. more importantly, when you passed this act, you gave yourself the right to rescind it, to reject it. so you are coming to me to do something that you could do but you don't have the votes. brian: jonathan says that the house should not bring up this lawsuit. it should be people on the border or somebody else to bring it forward and say this directly affects me. and then the court fight begins. meanwhile the president can continue to build while they fight it out unless there is an injunction. ainsley: did warn the white house. almost certainly it will be blocked by the courts at least temporarily the president hopes to win on appeal. >> other thing to remember it's not just the border. the democrats freak out everything this president does. but he is the president and he feels that he is out to protect the country and that's why in three hours is he going to say i'm declaring a state of emergency and i'm going to take those $8 billion to start building a wall.

ainsley: we are in new york city. steve: i hope so. ainsley: if you go east there is the east river. long island city. pepsi sign there. it's really growing one subway stop. a lot of kids live there less expensive. amazon wanted to put headquarters and bring 25,000 jobs. steve: 25,000 jobs for a new headquarters that would pay on average $150,000 per year. now, keep in mind, here in new york. ainsley: that's the average salary? steve: anticorporate activist got what they wanted though because yesterday amazon said look we are getting too much heat from local politicians, stated politicians who have been critical about their tax breaks and the secrecy of negotiations we are going to pull out and devote more energies into our facilities in nashville, which is close to federal express and down in washington, d.c. which is next to "the washington

post" which mr. bezos owns. brian: you might have heard this big contest to get a hub in your city. 200 cities competed for it because of that new york city sweetened the pot. tax breaks once this is built. you will love it here and made sure something amazon wanted to go first round draft pick or fastest growing company in the country you want to do whatever it takes to get here. alexandria ocasio-cortez is among the high profile politicians who staked their reputation on stopping amazon in herr mind use that $3 billion in other things. $3 billion in tax breaks doesn't mean you hold $3 billion. she won. she actually believes that new york benefits by not bringing the fastest most effective, the biggest company in the country to new york city. listen to her. >> i think it's incredible. i mean, it shows that every day americans still have the power to organize and fight

for their communities and they can have more say in this country than the richest man in the world. we were subsidizing those jobs. so, for the city was paying for those jobs. so, frankly, if we were willing to give amazon -- if we are willing to give away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest those $3 billion in our district ourselves if we wanted. to say we could hire out more teachers, we can fix our subways. we can put a lot of people to work for that money if we wanted to. steve: expression have you got to spend money to make money. ainsley: going to make 25 to $30 billion over the next 20 years. so what's $3 billion in tax breaks? brian: do you know what that company would have done? also with the tax. ainsley: every state is fighting for amazon. brian: marc thiessen was apoplectic saw that win by democratic governor and democratic mayor as they brought this business to new york city. here is how he breaks it down.

>> ocasio-cortez is a wrecking ball inside the democratic party. as a conservative i'm sitting here with popcorn and watching it happen. i mean, this is -- this was a deal negotiated by the democratic governor of new york, the democratic mayor of new york, sponsored by democratic legislators and she comes in, the newly elected democratic socialist and wrecks the deal and creates such a hostile environment to the point that amazon said we don't want to work in this environment. we're gone. and they took 25,000 jobs with them. and just to show you how economically illiterate she is, she said the city was paying for those jobs. there's no $3 billion. literally she doesn't understand that there is not $3 billion. and the lesson for america is if you like this, you will love the green new deal. ainsley: amazon said fine i'm out of here then. i'm not going to work in a state where we don't have full support. the governor is furious. the democratic party is split in new york. the governor wanted that that would be a big win for him. steve: amazon would contribute to the infrastructure.

they were going to build schools and 25,000 people in this region were going to get $150,000 a year jobs. now, those jobs are heading elsewhere. brian: newark, new jersey says please bring it here we need it. i understand. amazon is a first round draft picks you pay a lot for first round draft picks. first free agents. you to make this good for amazon. steve: what do you think about it? email us friends@foxnews.com. 7:12 in new york city. andrew mccabe says the russia probe cannot be stopped. >> removed quickly reassigned or fired that the case could not be closed. steve: media observer joe concha says this should outrage everybody. wondering where the outrage is. joe's next.

prone against the president and doj officials had discussions about pushing the president out of office. here with reaction to these revelations is joe concha, media reporter for the hill and radio talk show host on wor radio. joe, good morning to you. >> good morning to you, steve. steve: we are a little surprised there is not more outrage across the board when you look at what the number two guy at the fbi admitted. we were sitting around trying to figure out how to get rid of the president of the united states. had that happened during, let's say the time of barack obama, i think that would have been a big story. >> it would be the story, steve. and i go through the "new york times," i go through "the washington post" today. i look at other major news outlets, the mccabe allegation, and, remember, i don't like being in the if true crowd. because he was fired for three ethics violations at the fbi. he doesn't exactly have the highest credibility. steve: right. >> if true, i would think this would be probably a

co-story top story obviously with the president possibly declaring a national emergency and the budget shutdown that shares 1 and 1 a. instead at "the washington post" they don't even really touch on this in their top 14 stories. instead the story says what it was like for andrew mccabe to work with trump and sessions a negative story obviously. the point is the fact that there was even a discussion, a plot that may have been tried to be hatched around wiring a deputy attorney general invoke ago 25th amendment to oust a sitting president because you want to say he is mentally incapable. this something that aaron sorkin in the west wing would say no that's unbelievable. steve: why isn't it a bigger story elsewhere? >> why isn't it a bigger story else where? i think there is a couple reasons for that, obviously. mostly because the fact that perhaps it's based in conjecture. i would hope that's the case or perhaps a case that people don't see this as a

big deal that they want to push the fact that of course the president was mentally incapacitated why is that because rod rosenstein wrote a memo recommending that james comey should be fired that democrats and republicans alike said he should be fired. that's the reason you want to go down a road to oust a sitting president? i would hope that when mccabe is interviewed, steve, is he pressed on this time and again. why did you think you could possibly even get away with something like this? steve: right. okay. >> and a very negative tone the interviewer should have. i have a feeling that's not going to happen. steve: for the last two years. people on television have been talking about well, russia collusion there was russia collusion. now we have heard from richard burr, the senator from the great state of north carolina that senate intel has seen no evidence of that this turned out to be a story that msnbc reported and, yet, mrc, media research center said that the network newscast spent zero minutes covering this particular story, which is crazy because they also

say there were 2202 minutes on the russia scandal. zero for the collusion report. this is a big story you would think, right? >> particularly on the nbc side, steve. i will be quick on this. if a story is reported on msnbc by its news division and then the nbc nightly news, which is watched by anywhere from 8 to 10 million people a night, and you don't cover a story that your own network broke earlier that afternoon, that is the bias of omission. and as the most insidious kind of bias that's out there, steve. the kind when you don't even hear about a story that absolutely should be your lead. steve: it is curious what's going on. joe, thank you very much for joining us live. >> all right. have a good weekend. steve: 7:20 now in new york city. a major twist in the case of a green beret charged with killing a taliban bombmaker. his lawyer is now accusing the investigator of stolen valor. could the charges now be dropped against that green beret's case? plus, sources tell fox news

so, has joe, david, missed his chance because so many are off to the left where he tends to be center left? >> well, look, i think in joe biden wants to run for the presidency he better get in soon. is he missing it i don't know if he has missed it already. if he has not he is about to do it. this field is shaping up to be a very far left field. if he waits any longer, he is learnly not going to have any chance. i don't know if he is going to be out of step, almost a jeb bush problem with the rest of the liberal field. brian: you are nodding zac. you also agree with david, it's gone far left. >> it's gone far left, i agree he has to decide soon. i do think, however, if he decides to run, he charismatic and has the experience. the question for me does he have a message that can appeal to young voters. brian: he might not say it's affordable to have free college. he might not say i want to kill private insurance. he might not say i think private free preschool is necessary? >> sea serious politician been around washington for a long times. he has seen these things

can't promise pie in the sky things and hope they will all work out. brian: you sound like something i would say. i want you to seat polls right now. if you look recognizability has so much to do with it a year and a half out of the box. but you have according to the morning consult poll biden is on top by 7 sanders not on yet. kamala harris boy is she in. elizabeth warren has never stopped being in. beto o'rourke went to the border and rolled up his sleeve so i think he might be. in he is also thinking about the senate. cory booker came in last week. klobuchar will have a town hall bloomberg thinking about it and sherrod brown i think is getting in. what do you read from that poll. >> who is going to bring experience to the table? who is going to have a message that will appeal to young voters. who is dynamic and not just charismatic and who understands the need to unite us around the values we have in common. we are deeply divided right now. brian: you miss the magic one. who can beat trump.

trump loved the left wing candidates. >> if the democrats want to win they should go someone not as left wing that's where the base is going. biden you don't want to be a frontrunner at this stage this is a wide open field. brian: will this help or hurt him? i read in the noims today one of my problems if i were to run for president i like republicans whether h bless me , for i have as i understand. [laughter] where i come from i don't know how you get anything done if we don't start talking to each other again. brian bine that sounds like an analyst and candidate sober people would like because they want to be effective. but will it work in a primary? >> i think it can. i think joe biden understands that right now we need to recognize that we

are in a hyper partisan time. focus on what we have in common. brian: i don't think president obama is for it he met with beto o'rourke. he has not said anything publicly. this is a guy he worked for for 8 years. what is going on there? >> look, once people get the idea they want to run for president it never leaves. clearly the case for joe biden. people have told him he has missed his time and he wants it do it this time. he may be just a touch too late. time something everything in politics. brian: he has already lost twice and that could scare a lot of people away. all right, guys. it's going to be an interesting time. all right? we will see. it's the party of aoc these days anyway. coming up straight ahead. colin kaepernick supporters say he just wants to play football. he just wants a chance. why did he just say no and president trump just hours away from declaring a national emergency but should he really sign that bill first? pete hegseth promises to walk on to our set just as i read his name

[laughter] steve: two and a half hours from right now the president of the united states is going to be in the rose garden. he is going to sign that big bill which is not a very big bill for him because it didn't give him as much money as he wanted and is he going to declare a national emergency. the hair is on fire of not only a lot of democrats but republicans as well saying this is a dangerous precedent. if you have the hand the president has got, what else does he have to lose? pete: i heard you earlier in the program call the budget a stink bomb. that's a stink bomb. conservatives agree this is a terrible, terrible budget. yes, there is more money for ice and for the border patrol. but tons of restrictions on where and how the wall can be built. there is de facto amnesty in there in certain places. huge mandates, ignores request for more officers. bad budget. terrible budget.

resistance budget doing everything they can to undermine the president's budget. nancy pelosi's fingerprints are all over that thing. conservatives would hate what he is about to announce at 10:00 if not for the national emergency which says i have got the prerogative. i'm going to keep it inside constitutional limits. i'm going to stay focused on the wall and security of our border. i will find this money a lot of which is confiscated from drugs and from military construction and use it to build the wall. this is a great move by the president to do both of them. ainsley: let me show you what the democrats are saying. ridiculous, closer to a dictatorship. abuse of power. temper tantrum. do you think is he undermining the appropriations process. >> no. i think congress has undermined the appropriations process. ainsley: in what way not giving him what he wanted. pete: he tried and tried and tried. he tried with republicans its in order the will of the people. tried with democrats. >> tried the shutdown. tried making compromises. all the while only gotten more difficult. if you believe as he does and as many people do that we have a national emergency at our border that politicians are fundamentally unserious

about, declare it and fund it the money is there the support will be there as well. brian: i will say a few things, i didn't think it would be a great move to do the state of emergency in the beginning, after the 35-day holdout. after the negotiation with 17 bipartisan bicameral after he sees what's in front of him and only gets hours to read it knowing that the government is about to shut down in a matter of hours. he was going to throw this in the street. this is i tried. now i'm going to use these powers. and the president sincerely believes it is an emergency. this is no -- you don't have to expand your mind or take big leaps and bounds. he believes this is an emergency. pete: you are totally right. it's not a knee-jerk reaction. you are where a lot of people were. i wasn't for a national emergency a while ago either. but once you see the obstruction and the resistance, he tried. this makes sense. and the precedent argument, listen, liberals and democrat if they had power would do the same thing and there is also plenty of precedent. steve: plus there is an emergency on our southern border humanitarian or drugs. the president is going to make that case. meanwhile, you were with us

ainsley: president trump has made the importance of protecting life a key issue. >> we must build a culture that cherishes the dignity and sanctity of innocent human life. >> i am asking congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children. [cheers and applause] >> who can feel pain in a mother's womb. >> millions of innocent, beautiful babies are counting on us to protect them. and we will. ainsley: our next guest says from standing up for the unborn to his choices in judges, president trump is the most pro-life president of his lifetime. the chairman of the faith and freedom coalition ralph reed joins us now. hey, ralph, thank you so much for being with us. >> hey, ainsley, good to be with you. good morning. ainsley: why do you think that? why do you say that? >> well, you know, i think if you look at what

president trump has said and done both as a candidate and as president, he walked into the oval office shortly after taking the oath of office and he restored the mexico city policy that was begun by ronald reagan, that prohibits the use of tax dollars to take innocent human life overseas through family planning programs, u.n. programs he has restored conscious rights for christians and others of faith who under obamacare were forced to violate their conscious and their faith by providing medical services like abortion that they objected to. he has appointed pro-life and strict constructionist judges, including neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. and the other thing is, ainsley, and this is the thing that i really appreciate, is how the president is beginning to use what teddy roosevelt called the bully pulpit of his office. this is the most consequential office in

human history through the words that he speaks and through the power of what he says in determining right and wrong as a matter of moral clarity, he can move the needle in the culture and he can affect what legislatures and congress do. i appreciate that. ainsley: ralph, a lot of people voted for him because of the wall there are a lot of evangelicals who voted for him because of his pro-life stance and because of his ability to appoint conservative judges. you say that the right to life is just equally as important as the wall. why do you say that? >> well, because i think if you look at the evangelical constituency, it was 27% of the electorate in 2016 and 2018. if you add in pro-life catholics, it gets up to 35% of the electorate. donald trump won 81% of their votes. they were half of all the votes he received. donald trump isn't in the white house today without the strength of that vote. and if that vote had not turned out the way it did in 2018, not only would the republicans have lost the house, they would have lost

the senate and it wouldn't have even been close. so, these are voters that, to be clear, are not ultimately partisan in their affiliation. they are driven by a set of issues. they are driven by a set of moral concerns. and at the top of that list is creating a cultura culture of life that protects the dignity and sanctity of every human life from conception to natural death including the unborn. and by the democrats pursuing this extremist late-term abortion and even infanticide agenda, which gallup, ainsley, found last year only 13% of the american people. ainsley: that's right. >> favor abortions in the third trimester i think they are helping president trump. ainsley: most pro-choicers don't agree with that. >> they don't. ainsley: thank you have a great weekend. >> you too, ainsley. ainsley: forget building walls, beto o'rourke wants to pay to tear them down. diamond and silk are here to react to that next. the left claims victory

down. >> how is beto okay can tearing down walls. american tax dollars are are being used to build up walls in other countries? how is that okay? steve: i'm sure we are going to hear the president talk a little bit about the wall at 10:00 this morning. is he going to sign that big bill that has some border money in it for him. then he is going to declare a national emergency on our southern border. diamond and silk is it a national emergency what's going on right now? >> it t. is a national emergency. >> yes. >> when you see drugs pouring in. when you see illegal aliens crossing our borders in droves. that is a crisis. not only that when you see our congress tie the hands of our border patrol agents, not funding everything that they need to secure our border. >> that's right. >> they make it even more of a crisis. so, yes, there is a crisis. the president should declare a national emergency. >> that's right. >> it wouldn't bother me if he would stop immigration all together and get their act together and solve this problem instead of putting a band-aid on the problem and calling it a fix.

sanders gave us yesterday. she said president trump will sign the government funding bill. as he stated before he will take other executive action to include a national emergency to stop the humanitarian crisis at the border. she adds this, the president is once again delivering a promise to build the wall, protect the border, and secure our great country. we'll take you inside the numbers. claiming $8 billion in all. 1.375 billion expected to come from the bill he will sign between now and tuesday. $1.3 billion out of military construction budget. there is a provision in the law says he can do that. $2.25 billion out the dod drug interdiction program. north of $600 million. how about this, 601 million out of the treasury drug forfeitter fund. that sounds great.

of course you're a democrat. tell you what chuck schumer had to say about that. he and nancy pelosi issuing a statement. he is basically saying this is lawless, mr. president. what he is not telling, other presidents had several national emergencies. let me tell you a little bit about what chuck and nancy had to say about it. they said this in a joint statement, declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of power of the presidency, a desperate attempt to distract that the president trump broke the core promise to have mexico pay for the wall. yet another demonstration of president trump's naked con tempt for the rule of law. this is not an emergency. the president's fear-mongering doesn't make it one. 10 a.m., the rose garden. looking forward to bring you live coverage. not just then, but throughout the morning. throughout the day. i will be here for you. steve: president will be on the other side of the building he is

activity along the southern border. 84 miles was already being built when i was down in mcallen. 55 more miles coming with the additional money. in time he would have gotten what every he needed. now to precipitate this crisis. he knows what is ahead. he knows how difficult it will play to the base and how difficult it will be in court. brian: he is brawler. he will do it traditional way. guess who else is a brawler? nancy pelosi did not come to the table for 35 days. put together the committee with all restrictions on 1.375. she is trying to get what she wants. hey, nancy, going on a trip. i will take my plane back. president says, here is your plan. i come with my own plan. you want to fight me in court. go ahead. she has her hands full with this president. >> clearly he does. he will not take no for an

answer. the only thing, brian, i would have suggested he could have stayed out of court. he will get 10 lawsuits filed against him in the ninth circuit alone. steve: you said he will win. >> a deputy u.s. attorney will be defending lawsuits. i think he wins 5-4 in supreme court eventually as he did on the travel ban. it will be a rocky road. i'm not sure it was necessary right now. god bless him. i hope it happens more smoothly then i envision but one way or the other there will be additional walls built. i would declare victory. they got off their moral high ground. the wall is not a moral issue more. they gave me some money. now it's a negotiation. we'll get more over time. he will be okay. it won't be the end of the world. steve: eight days after the president fired james comey who democrats and republicans both wanted fired, the deputy

director of the fbi, andrew mccabe, apparently he reveals on 60 minutes at the highest levels of the department of justice and the fbi they were trying to get rid of the president by the 25th amendment because they were positive he could have been a spy for russia. listen to this, a preview of "60 minutes." >> i was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency and who might have done so with the aid of the government of russia, our most formidable adversary on the world stage. and that was something that troubled me greatly. i was very concerned that i was able to put the russia case on absolutely solid ground in an indelible fashion that were i removed quickly, reassigned or fired, that the case could not be closed. brian: make it fired. that is how he end up.

geraldo, does this outrage you? >> it absolutely does, brian. this guy is and a adjudicated liar, with delusions of grandeur. put this in the context of peter strzok, lisa page, the last line of defense, it is clear in the fevered imagination of the fbi, top management, in the wake of the james comey hearing, they were staging a low level coup. they were contemplating the worst about the president of the united states, that the man in the oval office was an agent of the kremlin. that he was a potential traitor. i tell you, it sickens me. this is a far bigger story to me than the wall machinations. this is the top of the fbi looking at the president of the united states, trying to get him, you know, figure a way devious way to show he is incapacitated under the 25th amendment, to replace the

president? it is really sickening, deeply troubling that these buckaroos to attempt to take the power they had to -- ainsley: figuring out how on the president's cabinet, including the vice president, who would be for them, or against him. exactly. >> this is like a book. ainsley, like a book, seven days in may. this is guys sitting around the watercooler plotting to get rid of, to void the election of the 45th president. and you know, mccabe, a liar. comey, who knows what the hell he was into. this mind-set, i go back to the fevered imagination. he is a manchurian candidate, this and that. this goes back on it. looks so ridiculous. steve: think about the mind-set, if all that stuff, what the fbi did with the fisa warrants just

to spy on the president of the united states, then candidate for presidency, donald trump, fast forward he has won. probably thinking oh, man, he might actually find out what we did. we got to do everything we can to get rid of this guy? >> you know, steve, the worst thing is, when you have this kind of exaggerated self-importance, a lot of things are possible. you can do things that in retrospect as we are now looking back expose facto, seem indefensible, they seem cartoonish, this is a low energy coup. it's a coup attempt, but so low energy, who will wear the wire, rosenstein. brian: he has to get fired. >> get him to admit this. this really shows an utter disrespect for the office and a malignant ego in some of these people that i think is extremely troubling. brian: you can't like rod

rosenstein, you can't agree with mccabe, you can't agree with comey, they all three contradict each other at the key points in the saga. they're not even on the same page. i don't know how rod rosenstein who goes to work today. this is another person saying he was serious to wear a wire. he said he was sarcastic or kidding around. steve: just joking. brian: why they don't even change the locks. i don't get it. >> some things you don't joke about, which even if it was joke which i for a second do not believe. there is a feeling of self-importance. where you swell yourself up. only i stand between donald trump and vladmir putin taking over the world and making the united states of russia in america. it is preposterous. steve: joining us from florida, enjoy the weather down there, geraldo. see you next week. >> see ya. ainsley: jillian has headlines for us. jillian: good morning, we'll get caught up what happened moments

somewhere in the basement. $100,000. brian: i have only a crawl space. yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of the school shooting in parkland florida that left 17 people dead. steve: one guest says we need to learn from the mistakes and learn from the chaos of social media, fatherhood. brian: author of the boy crisis, warren farrell. you think one of the things to take from this, there is many, the lack of fathers in this country? >> yeah. what i began to see doing research for the boy crisis, i saw the boy crisis was in 63 of the most developed nations. in those developed nations boys had go things in common. they were often products of divorce or products of being raised in single mom families without dads involved. i found the boy crisis resides where the fathers don't reside. i started looking further, this

resulted in suicides. it resulted in our prisoners who are more than 90% dad deprived boys. it also resulted in mass shootings. almost all the mass shooters were dad deprived boys, synagogue shooter, jacksonville shooter, stephen paddock in las vegas and of course the parkland shooter. i looked at issue of dad deprivation was the single most common issue that created the boy crisis. steve: in these families where there is not a dad you say it impacts the boys in the family but there are girls in a lot of these families too. aren't they as impacted as the boys? >> they are impacted in more than 70 different areas as the boys are but nearly the same degree. the girls have at least a role model of a female. the boys don't have a role model

of a dad. boys used to purpose of being warrior or breadwinner. when you have a combination that doesn't allow a boy to discover his unique self or discover who, you know, how to have a sense of purpose in the world. and we really, but we really have a perfect answer here. if dad deprivation is the problem, the solution is dad involvement. the solution is creating father warriors to replace the old, you know, the old soldier warriors. brian: where you had big brothers and big sisters, now you're looking for, if you have a single parent family looking for a mass movement in terms of volunteers? >> well, for single parent families it is really important for schools to have male teachers, so boys don't go from mom only families to female-only schools. schools have to be focused more on vocational education, recess, opportunities for kids to play.

they have to, they need to know that projects and getting things, for kids to do is very important. and we have to put the boy crisis on the national agenda. president trump in one minute can sign an executive order saying, to create a white house counsel on boys and men, put the boy crisis on the national agenda so that professional associations and groups begin to say, what can we do to solve the 10 major causes of the boy crisis, but particularly the cause of dad involvement. because the dad involvement is the single biggest cause of the boy crisis. steve: there you go. he wrote a book called "the boy crisis" out in paperback soon. dr. warren farrell, thank you for telling us about the boy crisis. >> it has been a pleasure. brian: straight ahead. we told but the sheriff warning his community, lock your doors, load your guns, get a barking dog, barking biting dog. that sheriff is here live to explain why. steve: plus democrats revealing

$348 million, and gets only 1.4 for the wall with a lot of restrictions, but also declaring the national state of emergency, getting finding $8 billion. would you sign the first one and are you for the second one? >> i wouldn't sign the first one. we were talking about how the republicans in the house almost completely split. there are 25 more voted against the bill, something like that. so the party and the base have a different opinion. you have to bet that the base is basically, trump's base is basically with those people who voted against -- brian: in the house, freedom caucus. >> yeah. there is a lot of real problematic things in this. the idea of letting municipalities essentially have a veto on physical construction of the -- steve: he feels, we'll hear him in 90 minutes say, look my back is up against the wall. i tried to work with them. this is the best i can do, folks. the base you're talking about, that's right, we're for this.
