just my opinion. >> okay thank you so much. thank you for watching on this monday we'll be back here tomorrow morning at 5 a.m. starting with heather and for now fox and friends starts. have a good day. >> the deputy attorney general offered to wear a wire into the white house. he was not joking and, in fact, he brought it up in the the next meeting we had. >> this is a -- these guys you ask me ought to be the ones in jail. they ought to be ones under investigators. they're callingth president's day protest more than 240 accidents across the nation. >> can you say definitely california will be filing a lawsuit? >> definitely, and eminently. clearly an emergency clear that in the mind of donald trump, he needs to do something to try to fulfill a gap he promised. >> trying to protect the declaration we need this is a threat in our country. >> daytona 500 win it is for coach gibbs in toyota. >> and the home --

of the brave. national anthem before the all star game and all star game forgot to play defense for the entire game. 180 to 176 or something. who would -- do you know? >> yes. it was yes lebron's team won. the only thing going on this weekend. >> it was an interview last night. there was. we're going to get to that as well welcome aboard president's day a federal holiday we'll have trivia sprinkled throughout the program let me query both of you who was our shortest president?

>> shortest -- >> i would say james madison. >> james madison is correct. 5'4". >> did you know that? >> that's what they named a street -- really. we have lots more. [laughter] so anyway happy holiday. good and happy president's day meanwhile lawmakerses are vowing to get to the truth did you watch this last night? andrew mccabe's jaw dropping "60 minutes" interview. >> fired fbi director detailing inside efforts to push our president out of office. >> which is not exactly the way it is supposed to happen. a group -- with the so-called attempted cue and a number of people have said it was a cue and what he described yesterday sounded like a cue. [laughter] good morning guys. it was quite an interview, the the former or fbi director says he was fired for opening an investigation against the president of the united states a decision he said fully supported by a deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and accusing him of

offering to wear a wire to collect evidence against the president. >> the deputy attorney general offered to wear a wire into the white house. he said i never get searched when i go into the white house i can we are a recording device they wouldn't know it was there. >> now questions are being raised as to how serious that offer was mccabe say it was, quote, absolutely serious but doj previously acknowledged conversation last year and described it very differently saying it was more sarcastic but mccabe wasn't done throwing former colleague rosenstein under bus saying that it was his idea to attempt to use the 25th attempt against the president. >> the discussion of the 25th attempt was simply rod raised issue and discussed it with me in the context of thinking about how many other cabinet officials might support such an effort. >> when asked by "60 minutes"

scott how that discussion and 25th amendment came up mccabe said he honestly could not remember. mccabe has a new book hitting book shelve this is week guys. >> indeed all right comes out tomorrow. griff thank you very much. if you were watching the -- the interview on "60 minutes" you probably were saying to yourself as we were just now down sound bite why didn't scott pelley ask this or that? to get feeling scott pelley has not been paying attention to what's been going on in our nation's capitol for the two years. where it has been revealing all of the thingses that happened in the department of justice and fbi would have been great questions. but scott pelley never asked is them. >> and he might have and sat down for two, three hourings and they have to shorten it and 28 minutes or 30 minutes. >> but if he did that then he would say the counterside would be and list things and move on. >> to learn more about if it was a nugget. >> if you only watch a cnn or you might ask those questions an

in between this andy mccabe what role did this dossier play for you and launch this investigation. these are things he listed to the counter intelligence operation because of michael flynn also trump was talking badly about the russia investigation. and then he fired comey it was a sense of panic we had to do something quickly so he says he ordered two investigations into whether or not the president of clients was a russian agent or anything like that. there was no evidence and zero evidence to base that on and nftd when james comey appeared before congress he said, yeah. when i left before i got fired, there was absolutely zero evidence of it. nonetheless, the big thing that grabbed all of the headlines was about the conversation could we get rid of this president with a 25th amendment and something we told you on friday was 25

amendment is very specific you don't do it at the fbi or the doj. rush limbaugh says this was a silent bureaucratic cue. watch. >> we're losing sight of what happened here people unelect ptd simply because they don't like a hair style or where he came from decided american people's decision was invalid and began a systemic process to get him thrown out of office this is a silent cue. these guys you ask me ought to be in jail they ought a to be under investigation. what they have done working with agents from the obama intelligence agencies is simply unprecedented this isn't kind this is one of the greatest political hoaxes that is ever been perpetrate ared on people of this country. >> and this rod rosenstein thing is interesting because i don't know how rod goes to work today. i don't know if he's off from president's day federal holiday but out there on tuesday. because if you look at jim

baker's interview that he did and been released behind closed doors he says rod was not kidding when he was i was beginning to wear a wire and no sense of kidding around when he said that. mccabe says he was going to wear a wire and they even mentioned that somebody actually went out and did a preliminary cue among cab net to turn on cabinet and speculation was on general kelly and believe it or not jeff sessions you would think tillerson could line up there because he called the president an idiot at least two of the people they have that push and rod continue it say i was kidding about that. >> they never search me when i walk into the white house inked get in there easily and do it. but mccabe said i wungts considering. he realizeds that was absurd for him to suggest that. he says, but then -- he tells scott pelley he decide ited to find out if it was suitable for him to wear a wire. so then he said that's a bridge

too far. we're not there yet. >> exactly. one thing going back to scott is pelley asking a follow-up question or just some enterprise questions that was like you know about when you look at the text messages, what was the insurance policy? you know page talked about the insurance policy in andy's office. these are questions that we never saw asked because we still have questions that have not adequately been answered about about what the heck was going on 7th floor of the fbi. >> you have to think that mike wallace never would have let that go he surrounded a story that was one -- >> we do talk about this story every day so you know if he would like to come on our show we have a lot of questions. >> in other news in response to the president declaring an emergency, an emergency declaration you have a lot of people l that are against this and so they have moved on.org organizeed protest all around the country you can go on their website to put in your zip code to it find out where closest protest is. >> we're done at nine maybe we can go. >> i get off at 12 this is all

in response to the president's national emergency, declaration on friday where he said we're going to reprogram 8 billion dollars to build that wall that i promise you. steven miller who was one of the presidents best speech writers and senior advisor said this about the president, and how he wants to protect our nation. >> he's going to protect a national emergency declaration guaranteed this is a deep intellectual problem that is plaguing this city that we've had thousands of americans die year after year after year because of threats crossing our southern border we have families and communities or that are left unprotected and undefended we have international terrorist organization this is a threat in our country not overseas not in belle ruse not in afghanistan or syria or iraq but right are here and if the president can't defend this country, then he can not fulfill his constitutional oath of office. >> so there will be president's day protest across the country if you're interested move on touring -- but a rally list. >> steven miller had had a

strong argument and chris wallace with tough question answer think can't be addressed to sign an emergency my sense is when you have 120,000 unaccompanied minors came here in 2013, and barack obama says this was a crisis, we have even more than that, why isn't a crisis now? the question is why hasn't this been addressed in the past? and is the last three presidents should have been declaring this that's the big question. why is this president the first one to say this is a problem. spoke to someone over the weekend spoke about border saying it is worst that they could have thought as he's serving right now -- because he was asked to one of the thousand plus to go to the border. >> the president tough talk southern board is working and "new york times" even verified that because you've got -- you know, you look at the story and it is with trump talks about people who showed new caravan they decided i don't to wait in

mexico -- they've given up more than a thousand have accepted an offer to return home by the mexican government. and another 1,000 decided to stay in mexico accepting work permits. >> one thing i would say is we start on 22 miles of wall this week that was the money was given back in 2017 and overall this number was given out of texas. 200,000 illegals are arrested over the last 7 years for a half million crimes. all of these things we have crime in our country i get it but anything that comes across a border illegally is preventable that's what the president is trying to say let's stop preventible crime. not a crisis. not an emergency so many people in the country say the president, though -- disagrees. >> five states preparing to file suit against the president. he expected it. now it is legal game on. >> all right. let's hand it over to jillian. following a story out of virginia so let's start with this. a man hunt is intensifying for a man suspected of shooting a virginia police officer. officials considered john's

armed and dangerous after he allegedly shot and injured an officer during a traffic stop. the driver of the car surrendered as grey jumped into the drivers seat and drove away. the car later found abandoned. the wounded officer is expected to be okay. >> two dozen illegal grants under arrest accused of knocking down a border fence. agents near san diego tracking them down after a discovering tire tracks near the broken barrier they also found an abandoned truck. custom officials say aging border fences were dismantled and driven through twice this month. president trump heads to miami today to give a speech on the crisis in venezuela and danger of socialism. the south american country has recently erupted with political unrest are. meanwhile, during a trip to neighboring columbia florida senator marco rubio pressured disputed president nicholas maduro to stop locking borders and let much needed u.s. aid into the country. nascar star denny races into the

history had books winning the kate it that 500 for the second time. >> this time denny wins second day on the 500, and a win it is for coach gibbs in toyota. his victory coming after a fiery crash with with half a field look at that with ten laps to go. and dedicating his win if you heard former racing executive gibbs who died from a neurological disease last month. >> that was nice. >> joe a long time resident and coach. thank you very much jillian. >> thanks. 13 minutes after the hour joe biden slamming america yeah united states of america all the way from europe. >> the america i see values basic human decent city. not snatching children from their parent, that makes us an embarrassing -- >> go to munich and say that. michael former liewngt colonel says biden should be embarrassed

he explains why next. >> after jesse smollett story changes every day and we have a new twist in that investigation coming up.p. bp wind farms. in the off-chance the wind ever stops blowing here... the lights can keep on shining. thanks to our natural gas. a smart partner to renewable energy. it's always ready when needed. or... not. at bp, we see possibilities everywhere. to help the world keep advancing.

>> sticking to european audience in munich joe biden criticizedmen policies especially those on refugees.

he called that an embarrassment. >> the merck i see values basic human decenty not snatching children from their parents or turning our become on refugees at our border. america knows that's not right. the american people understand pleas because it makes us embarrassing -- embarrassing. here to react florida congressman and greene bray commander joining us from as you can see there jacksonville. congressman, it is an embarrassment our refugee policy according to the former vice president. >> well, you know i'll tell yous what's embarrassing steeves this was the height of irony coming from former biden and brawdges presided over large pest refugee crisis out syria since world wai over 10 million people a quarter of their syrian population

displace or internally or having to leave so what happened there. i mean l, the obama administration turned a blind eye withdrew from iraq. caused al qaeda and iraq to transition to isis at one point they have a caliphate the size of maine with economy size of austria and assad regime gassing people and russia by the way was in that same, very same conference that -- that biden attended in 2009 to hit the reset button with russia. then you have russia deliberately bombing hospitals bombing refugee camp and weaponnizing refugees into europe knowing that isis will infiltrate them with all that we saw so it is incredible for him to be so that caused such refugee crisis in the first place. >> it wasn't just refugees he said our trade policies are self-defeating but i don't remember obama administration going after our trading partner hads when we were getting short end of the stick like this president is.

>> well, you knows that's absolutely right and the the sense that -- for these trade policies we have been in a trade war. for the last several decades, and particularly with china. china has been in a trade war with us been taking advantage of us. this president knows it. and it is taking it head-on whether it is of our intellectual property or thet of our technology, or whether it is taking an advantage of american worker and businesses through unfair trade practices. so i think for the united states to actually stand up for itself is an embarrassing at all but you know it i can just make a point of impact you're an a american first you're not a democrat or republican but our opponents are taking notes. >> politics used to end at the waters edge not anymore. that's right. >> congressman joining us from jacksonville. thank you so much. thanks so much. meanwhile what a story this is jussie smollett story about being attacked keeps changing every day with have new twist in

and this is something that actor has spoken about in detail publicly most recently on abc. >> i see the attacker and he said this country punches me right in the face. who says [bleep] [bleep] this country -- tie around your neck and pours bleach on you and this is just a friendly fight? >> he gave that interview shortly two brothers from nigeria arrested two men said to be familiar with smollett with one of them working on set of "empire" that's the show that smollett stars in but those men now have since been released and police didn't file any charges. >> they're tired, they're glad

that prevail for them they put the work in, and i'm glad to say they're on their way. >> now smollett lawyer released a statement saying that smollett himself has been further victimized by claiming that he played somehow a role in this alleged attack. but they say anyone saying that is lying. steve. >> all right jeff paul reporting live from chicago. thank you very much. all right brian ainsley. >> chicago police shift and calling out to media for their initial response. >> bethany is a contradict tore to new york post she joins us now to explain. good morning to you bethany. >> good morning. >> you said this couldn't pass the smell test what are some of the red flags? >> what weren't red flags? so he was walking through the streets of chicago during a polar vortex coldest snap in chicago's history, an someone apparently recognized had him from "empire." show that is not universally popular he's not brad pitt and knew he was gay because that's

because they recognize him, and they started screaming including maga country in chicago that is not maga country. >> where you think happen to carry around bleach. >> yeah. and happen to be black nigerian. >> 2 a.m. hoping run into someoe they would recognize from "empire." >> what else we know they were paid about 4,000 dollars each this was speakinglation it look like they have the receipt when they bought the rope it shows jussie smollett paid for the rope. >> it was badly planned from start to finish. and this was sort of what happens when an actor writes his own plot it is fulled with nothing but holes. >> you know, some of the reports say they did a practice run days before. now i do want to say that smollett is not considered a suspect. and they have not confirmed that reporter said anything about the the -- grand jury. but they're saying he's not a

victim so sls so many holes in this story hopefully it will all come to light. what do you think about media rushes to judgment with senator cory booker on january 29th last week and few week ago saying this was a vicious attack on actor yous jussie smollett and then he was asked after all of this has come to lite what he thinks about it. now saying he doesn't want to rush to judgment his quote was there was information that's still coming out. plan to this. >> withhold until all of the information actually comes out from all a of the rest of sours. we know in america that bigot and bias attacks are on the rise in a serious way. we know in the country since 9/11 that majority of terrorist attacks on our soil have been right wing terrorist attack majority of them white supremacist attack. >> what's your response? >> it is are really frightening to me that our leaders are so gullible that they would fall for a story this outrageous, and

that they wanted it to be true. it wasn't ever plausible it never sounded like it was true from the start and fact that they employed no critical thinking skills to consider the fact that maybe this isn't the entire story and instead is ran with it because they wanted it to be true. i think it is a sad commentary that we want there to have been a hate a crime in order to employ it. >> looking at three years in prison if he made it up and doesn't want to talk to cops anymore and lawyered up. goes to show you -- where this story is heading -- >> yeah. yeah, and he also didn't offer them his full phone records. so this story right from the start and i think that the chicago pd knew that. it is -- they didn't place out sort of and an alert that they were looking for these guys. they knew something was up right from the start. >> kamala harris jumped to conclusion president said it was a horrible attack and took him at his word looks leak we shouldn't have. >> it was clearly not something

that -- that made sense at the time. and what's really frightening is that they -- they continue to sort of pursue it because they wanted him to be right. they wanted to be able it use this as a way to bludgeon their opponent. >> all right bethany appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thanks. andrew mccabe says rod rosenstein wasn't joking when he offeredded to wear a wire. >> he said, i never get searched when i go into the white house i can wear a recording device they wouldn't know it was there. he was absolutely serious. dan says that interview was incredible for all of the wrong reasons and he joins us live, next. >> plus get ready to set sail with dorothy and sofia golden girls crews coming to report near you.

from office something that mccabe that is about mental incapacitation that was discussion about wearing wire in the white house if this was serious, this was a cue attempt there's no doubt about it. >> for folk who is didn't get to see it last night let's show clips from it and we'll get your reaction. >> discussion of the 25th amendment was simply rod raise ared the issue and discuss ised it with me in the context of thinking about how many other cabinet officials might support such an effort. it was really something that he kind of threw out in a -- in a very frenzied chaotic conversation about where we were, and what we needed to do next. what deputy attorney general offered to wear a wire into the white house. he said i never get searched when i go into the white house i can easily we are a recording device they wouldn't know it was

there. now he was not joking. he was absolutely serious. >> dan. >> this is really unbelievable. i mean, think about what we're talking about here. ainsly he never described last night during the entire interview andy mccabe any predicate facts to be investigating the president at all. >> no evidence. think about this. no, steve, it has been described multiple ways now. this infamous crime, they've been described i wrote them down described last night as facts. arctic laable meaning you can articulate them remember jim comey described them to bret baier as a mosaic fact remember was it john brennan who described them as what did he say in oh the corpus of the intelligence. so it was a corpus, it is a mosaic and there are nobody arctic lated them or produced anything.

no one -- ever described the crime. >> to scott pelley leaned in as if he's never heard this before and what are reasonses well he tried to get -- told james comey to drop the case on mike flynn no he said go easy he's a good guy and combmy said he's a good guy and nbc interviewer he brought up reasons to fire combmy because was rash thing and because he said trump was talking badly about russia investigation, and he said on this north korea situation, he said one time he said that vat mere putin he can't reshores and he took that collection of evidence said we have to overthrow the president. >> you see i've known you long enough seven years that i knew that was what you were going to say i'm not kidding that's why i said predicate crime those were all post investigations. comments made as as a result of trump being investigated. brian, if i investigate you for a bank robe you didn't commit and then you go to make comments about this non bank robbery to

your neighbors i can't then justify my investigation into the bank robbery because of your comment about a robbery you didn't commit. there's no predicate crime and never described one time trump did anything to collude with russians. guys this is of politics. it's -- remember fiction the golden glowing suitcase we all hear it be but we see global and never see what's in the suitcase trump collusions evidence is of politics. >> you know what he could have said well we have this -- dossier, that we have handed to us -- in a research outfit, on behalf of the democrats he could have said we have that. and that had a whole road map of where to go but he didn't say that because that would have been simple. >> congressman adam shift opened up an investigation as you know this is what he said about collusion. >> you can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion pretty compelling evidence, now there's a difference between

seeing evidence of collusion and being able to prove a criminal conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt. >> plain sight. [laughter] >> where does somebody outside this network going to put adam shift on record to get a yes or no. are you ever going produce this evidence? adam shift is tearing the country apart this is the member of congress he has to know. this is not a dumb guy. it is not. it would be easy insult he's not stiewpgd this is a smart guy he knows there's no evidence. and e steve you just brought it up. only quote air quotes dreaded air quotes we have here of collusion evidence is the dossier which is fake. it is a debunk document and andy mccabe double down to your point steve is one of the few guys on record actually already admitting the entire spying debacle on trump team in phee is a would not have existed. >> but real quick and adam shift he did a good job yesterday because he said if he comes up

with a case and doesn't concludes there was nothing there. would you drop the investigation? and he basically said no and he was like why? the 30 million dollars spent probably get to 50 million by the time they're done all of the grand jury all of those assets and adam will do a better job than robert mueller if his thing is not the -- not what they want it to be they're going to shift a whole argument. >> ryan because they're not investigating a kriewm in search of a person. they're investigating a person, donald trump in search of a crime. that's the exact on sit of what should happen in lawsuit, a constitutional republic. >> johning us from palm city on president's day mr. jim thank you have a wonderful week. >> thanks. hi jillian. >> good monday morning to you let's start with this four of the five officers wounded in the iowa aurora, illinois plangts shooting are out of the hospital. other is expected to survive.

that's how people were producing meth in those two counties and they e ceased upon that demand problem in two counties and realized they could produce are it cheaper and ship it into our establish network and logistic network to make a higher profit selling it cheaper in those counties. >> how do they get in? >> across -- >> across the border and legal points of entry. it is placed in legitimate loads that are coming across, meth is generally from mexico diluted in some type of hydrocarbon diesel fuel. you can place it in the tank of a truck that is bringing tomatoes over across the border. drop off the legitimate load of tomatoes, and then make a pit stop to have that meth and diesel fuel pumped out and then shipped to a point north near the source city usually akron, ohio for us where it is

chicago -- new questions this morning about that alleged attack against "empire" star jussie smollett. police want to talk to him again after releasing two people of interest who were brothers. >> tmz is reporting this case could go to a grand jury. >> yeah he's not wanting to talk all of a sudden live in chicago with the latest on the investigation. jeff this gets weirder every second. >> it certainly seem like it and police right now aren't confirming any of those details surrounding that possible grand jury. but as you all mentioned they want to speak with smollett again about some key developments that's how they described it in this case now as you remember this started three weeks ago on january 29th that is when smollett claimed that two mafnged men punched him shouting antigay racial slurs at him claiming they even shouted this is maga country they believe they poured bleach and looped a rope around his neck and police consideredded him a

victim and two weeks later two brothers who are -- from nigeria were arrest ad smollett spoke with abcgma about the attack in detail. and then the next day, though, after that interview from smollett, those two brothers were released without any charges being filed now the attorney for those brothers who were once considered suspects says that she's thankful or efforts by police who are trying to get to the bottom of this case. >> you're tired. they're glad that prevail for them they put the work in and i'm glad to say they're on their way. >> a lot of police work. a lot of good police work. a lot of hard work on our end. but at the end of the day. as i said before, innocence prevails. >> now smollett lawyer released a statement saying that smollett himself is now being further victimized by people who are claiming that smollett play

somehow a role in this alleged attack. they say anyone is saying that had is lie no word if smollett if he will or when he will speak with police again. become to you all. >> police reeferred out thank you very much for the live report. so the story is out of chicago are, on some of the the news stations they say that these two brothers were paid 3500 bucks to stage it and they were going get another 500 dollars when he came back when they came back from nigeria and cops picked them up apparently they were cooperative. they held him for a couple of days. they said, yeah we brought the rope, at this -- what was it called the craft beaver hardware store is talked about the stuff and they've got their phones. >> they said they even had a practice run few days before. >> so january 25th. and then they execute a little bit later. so other thing is chicago police reached out to smollett and the cops reached tout him and to arrange follow-up interviews and

have not heard back and he says now i feel like i've been revictimized question is why jump to conclusion with so many questions out there. isn't this time after stories that we see twist another direction? so hold your fire until you find out the details especially considering this is -- race and politics such a -- such a turbulent time in america. >> because yous see smollett presented victim of a hate crime now looks like possibility that it was a hoax. nonetheless there was a rush to judgment. >> there was cory booker back on january 29th after it happened he said the vicious attack on actor jussie modern day lynching and then just recently he was asked about it from a reporter asked him about about it and this is what he had to say. >> beginning to withhold until all a of the information actually comes out from on the record forces. we know in america that bigot and bias attacks are on the rise in a serious way and we know

since 9/11 the majority of terrorist attack on the soil have been right wing terrorist attacks and majority of them white supremacist attacks. >> so now he's going to withhold judgment until everything comes out. that could be a while. >> too late. kamala harris quickly number people -- meanwhile, the washington news bustsers got an item on their website about washington post editorial board assistance by the name of nana mumford, and essentially what she is writing about is she really wants the story to be about true. >> she said, she said i wanted it believe smollett. i really did. i know that there's a deep, dark racist history in chicago and if proved true, this would be just one more point on the will have the. i wanted to believe him with every fiber of my being. >> really fantastic i'm sorry to disappoint you if it turns out not to be a hate crime i never

saw someone so disappointed by someone like that bethany joins us about a half an hour ago and haven't we learned anything from what a we've seen in the past? listen. >> it is really frightening to me that our leaders are so gullible that they would fall for a story this outrageous, and that they wanted it to be true. it wasn't ever plausible it never sounded like it was true from the start. and in effect employed no critical thinking skills that this isn't the the entire story and ran with with it because they wanted it to be true. i think that is a sad commentary on state of our society that wept a hate crime in order to employ it. j out in chicago trying to figure it all out was it a hoax or hate crime. stay tuned. >> meanwhile 2020 more and more candidate are con testimony plaiting they're jumping into the the race and up to 9. bernie sanders might as well say he's in and he recorded his

announcement officially -- going back to run for president of the united states in 2020. >> the headline was bernie sanders records video announcing 2020 campaign. >> and then you have got joe biden who did not run last time although it was report ared that the president then, barack obama, his had boss, wanted him to run but he did not invariably mr. obama had to support hillary clinton who was not his first choice and joe biden was a european conference where he said that the united states right now over refugee situation -- huge embarrassment. listen to this. >> the america i see basicses human decenty not smatching children from their parents or turning become on refugees at our border. americas know that's not right. [applause] the american people understand pleas because it makes us an

embarrassing -- american people know overwhelmingly that that's not right. that's not who we are. >> administration that pulled the missile defense out of europe without even telling europeans ahead of time who he is and somebody allowed 600 to 800,000 people die in syria without even reenforceing redline that president blurted out one day. who we are is watching the russians come back into the middle east during his time, and for him to go to munich, germany and rip this country in front of other countries is inexcusable that is not sign of a good leader what do they do so far? but no it is not and at an international conference you don't see them to express your views but not to cheer everyone who hates this country in front of all these other countries. >> that is inexcusable that's not leadership. >> he's doing this to run like

he's going to run for president. >> but is it your country first could you have done that in iowa or done that in delaware? >> unfortunately thingses have changed you have politicians going overseas talking badly about our country and our administration and you also now you have presidents that are speaking -- past presidents. >> so you're right once upon a time politic ended at the waters edge that has -- that ship has long sailed. we have congressman now michael with us former green bray commander he said, there is such irony in joe biden doing this. >> so just the height of irony coming from former vice president biden who with the the obama administration presided over largest refugee crisis coming out of syria since world war ii so really incredible for him to be so that caused refugee crisis. who you're abroad at conferences like that you're an american first you're in the a democrat or republican you have to stand

up as an american our poangts are are taking note. >> fairness john mccain did go there a year ago and rip the president of the united states. but it is unacceptable for him to go up there he should know better and he said i don't hate republicans. i guess that makes me a bad person sarcastically he goes over there and a just played into everyone's -- everyone's worst perception of donald trump is and what he acted towards vice president are pence was absolutely ab hornght to see angela merkel a failed politician being drummed out of office, go into condemn the america again, that is embarrassment to the german people and insult to us. >> trump is a piñata to anyone running for president that is exhibit a. joe biden is running for president. >> never should have accepted in munich. >> it is what it is. >> it doesn't mean it's right. >> absolutely not. >> if he runs for president and bernie sanders run for president those were top two in recent polls those are are -- the two that got the most votes as far as we asked democrats or

instead to hire a special counsel and put this investigation with a special counsel with their friends out of touch of the normal course of things deliberately and with a -- without any event justifying it there was no crime. >> mark he says oh, wait a second president trump said go easy on michael flynn. he said wait a second, you know, you said some nice things about vladimir putin you mocked the investigation and four or five none were convince to launch the 25th attempt. well not only that. but mccabe and the others have all testified before congress that there was no investigation that have been interfered he's acting head of the fbi. he can't claim that he's been tossed out of power when he's actually the acting head. there's no predicate for the action that he took other than the fact that he wanted this investigation to go forward to get rid of the president the

>> new questions this morning about the alleged attack of "empire" actor yous see smollett. two brothers pun person of interest there's a picture of them. >> body builders, obviously. released without charges in chicago. there are reports this case could actually go now to a grand jury. >> police have reached out to smollett and legal team asking to talk to him again. the attorneys deny the allegations. let's bring in david webb fox news contributor, host relate check with david webb he's joining us mr. lucky down in miami on this president's day. david morning guys. you know, when just see smollett told the story he made it clear he was a victim of hate crime and now the more -- this story has unraveled it sounds more like it was a hoax. >> well, i mean look, let's be

as we always are fair we haven't gotten final determination on what happened. but from day one of this story, there are a lot of missing parts. there were two many conflicts lack of video evidence where there were cameras. some other things that we can now talk about a little bit more openly from the investigation and my sources for instance, do you stand there at someone trying to put a rope or a close line around your neck. that you would be struggling that means there would be a mark that would have been reported. the fact that he wasn't turn over phone records and redacted them you start adding this together and new things that are developing in this story, like the fact that they found ripped up magdzs at the brothers apartment which police are now investigating to see if they're tied to threatening letters that's the component illegal side there's a political side guys. you have kamala harris cory booker and tim scott the republican who sponsored cosponsored a bill and they go

to use this bill and i'm putting this on harrison booker scott has been slengt on this, for the most part and they go and they use this to push this bill in the senate. so there's a political component. there's the hoax. there's the media coverage there's alan all the orrss that jump up, and yet there are eerily slengt because this is coming apart. >> why do you think he would do this go to extreme measures if he's guilty of making up a story. >> well, the why we won't know until the investigation comes out. you mean, we can go into conjecture but i don't to go there what i'm looking at is how the reaction of the people an country are to this this attempy the left to paint trump sporters the maga and race arist symbol we've heard that come out of congressman's mouth. we've heard that come out of elected officials mouth, and those on the left that want to paint anyone on the right and by the way, with also a trump

supporter or not for that matter as a race cyst it is about pushing a narrative, and there's another component of this which talked about and thought about the suits versus boots. but chicago pd and -- you know, cops out there many of them watching now. they don't like being made fools of. they have a job to do and a hard job every day when they go out the the door, and some of my sources said one of the hardest things is they're trying to do their jobs in chicago. they've got a political stripe that is mayoral agency you have the command and you have prelevel so they're wasting resources after they could have using to i don't know deal with something involve -- a child or grandmother or whoever in the community. >> you can be looking at three years prison if they did this and he's a famous actor, semifamous actor away from otherses so-called less important crime because people involved weren't fails and think about this, you know we're like in many ways like a smoldering fire of racial tension at point.

this is the last thing america needs is to have something come out that could sponsor riot across the country with something like this someone throwing bleach out there this is maga country using n word no small plot in, you know, in scam. this could be, this could have been huge. >> it's a behavior when you look at it. the information we've got the kentucky kids we have instances where the reality doesn't match the narrative. there's a blowback effect o'brien when it comes to the country we as americans are starting to see this. we're starting to see that these -- incident are being used to get hatred in america we reject it and respond to it so i hope americans take to do a real reality check on what race schism is in false charges because this is not who we are. >> regarding this case there's still a lot of questions that we

>> a group of reporters hitting kamala harris's campaign trail this weekend. but instead of pressing her on policy, they helped her pick out her clothes instead. >> oh, yeah. that's it. [laughter] >> wow, so is this what we can expects on the 2020 trail? the media helping dress everybody? let's ask beverly she's the president of district media group, so we know this reporter of cnn was out there had hing her. is there a problem with that? >> i think there is because one of the main aspect of being a political reporter is as you interact with a candidate day-to-day on campaign trail you want to make sure you remain

objective so what you see is you have three reporters there one you mentioned who helped pick out this sequence jacket other two reporters laughing in the background and all three of them tweeted this out showing that they didn't even think that this was a problem. this, obviously, crosses a line and i think in many ways gives more credibility to conservatives and president trump, who think that there is bias in the media. >> beverly is this more of here we go again because remember, the media all over michelle obama, they wanted to know who designed all of her clothes where she was going to shop in the headline hads and front page of -- front cover of so many different magazines and then you have melania trump a fashionista dresses beautifully but so much negative coverage, about her clothes. is it because just -- republican versus in the is that what we expect in 2020? >> i think that we can. you find when it comes to women who are conservative or republican, they often are not praised by the liberal media you can take the look even at nikki haley let's say someone who made

great strides in her political career probably will. you don't see her and marie claire someone with as overcome and think of carly run for president can you imagine this happening with someone from cnn and nbc in you wouldn't have this same type of starngd but i think it is conservative especially conservative women we see this quite often. >> you know what's interesting beverly in the short-term democrats going to be more upset about it but 18 competitors right now about 8 and up to 2025 and they say why is she getting favorite treatment remember hillary clinton complained and even mocked it on s&l that barack obama got easy questions. she got the hard questions. the media was so -- easy with him. so hard on her. so in the beginning this is beginning to be a fight to push back if she gets too much favorable coverage. >> i have first of all i have no problem with them wanting to cover her entering this establishment. you even have casey hunt from msbc miss the points entirely

saying well you have lindsey graham covered when he was state shooting or scott walker on a motorcycle. that is covering an activity that is covering a hobby. what we're talking here participation. so on your point brian it make me wonder with kamala harris are these reports rsers going to be bearing stories that would have put her in a bad light helping her with debate. i think especially for -- for women who are democrats yeah. giving answers to questionsening there's a double standard especially if you're a democrat and a female reporters are going to want to cover you favorably. >> thank you so much. 12 minutes before the top of the hour president trump weighs about in fbi director he fired mccabe new tweets coming up. >> plus the number is stunning nearly one million americans are living with multiple scholar roar sis and our scan nice is one of them sharing her personal story and her hope to find a cure. coming up next.

you feel to write it? fling because it is my journey and so many people's journey i think the new findings is something that we all knew. we all know somebody who has ms. you know, over the years i mean i came out as having diagnosed being diagnosed with ms over ten years ago and reason i did that, was because when i was diagnosed i felt so alone. i felt like no one has this. i knew nothing about the illness. i saw a wheelchair in my future and for me, i wanted to say you're in the alone. there's more of us out there and now with this new study, the strength is there. the strength and numbers there are more of us and i was shocked when i read this. >> because we're learning now twice as many people in the u.s. living with ms than previously thought. why twice as many? >> numbers just not being reported? >> numbers aren't reported doctors "don't ask, don't tell" need to report ms and we don't have a health care system that keeps track of what everybody is health is. >> don't have to release numbers even if they don't names.

i understand privacy issues but -- >> releases numbers one person at a time because our health care system is fragments so no way to gather all of that had to add it up clearly. >> i know you are, you are -- you're seeing a positive. because tell me why? why is that a positive? >> a positive because when i came out people were still telling me don't tell anyone you have this illness. >> you were brave to do it. >> because i felt it was important. i feel like yes i have this great job on television to give people the weather but maybe this is a plat pom that i can -- you know educate the people and be one of those people that somebody can look at an say she has this. i have this. maybe i'm going to be okay because i felt at the time when i was diagnosed it was such a dark it period of time. people told me don't tell other people, you know outside of your family don't tell your employer. you probably, you know, will be fired or you'll be let go or you won't be able to perform that job. so it was it important for me even though i didn't know my

future it was important for me to share to feel like, others also can feel like there was something there for them. >> how close are we it a cure? >> well it's impossible to say how close we are. but we're so much closer than we ever were 35 years ago, when i started working in the ms field there was nothing. there was nothing, and now we have -- we have 15 treatments for people who are relapsing, and we have a treatment for people who have primarily progressive ms and more in the the pipeline. >> how can we help? >> first thing is if you know someone who has ms let them know that they have an ms society. and that national ms society is here. we will be supportive partners from the beginning of diagnosis throughout a lifetime that's what our goal is to do as we seek a cure . and more numbers we are twice as loud and we need everyone to say we have this but we're not alone together we're stronger. >> twice as many who need a cure we have to get going.

director andrew mccabe. he revealed he ordered two investigations into the president of the united states. he wanted to know if the president fired james comb to derail the russian investigation, even though there was zero evidence. ainsley: he was worried he was getting fired. he said i want to make sure before i get fired i open up the investigations. listen to the interview. >> we talked about why the president had insisted on firing the director and whether or not he was thinking about the russia investigation and did that impact his decision. in the context of that conversation the deputy attorney general offered to wear a wire into the white house. he said i never get searched when i go into the white house. i could easily wear a recording device. they wouldn't know it was. there he was not joking. he was absolutely serious. brian: here we are two years later, the investigation he launched that made sure robert mueller was in place, later get fired days before

getting his pension. the question, not so much what donald trump says, or what andy mccabe said, what james comey said, what does peter strzok say, what about mr. rosenstein. i don't know these guys personally, jim baker told the investigators that he had the impression the deputy attorney general already discussed the 25th amendment with members of the president's cabinet. two of the members of the cabinet were onboard already. rosenstein keeps telling everyone i was kidding. who kids about that. if you have to decide at home who to believe. there is a lot of people think that andy mccabe and rod rosenstein were working together on 25th amendment. rosenstein who still has his job is trying to keep his job. ainsley: a former assistant to president clinton, they figured out a way to figure out a way to fire the president by getting a special counsel together to find a crime. listen what else he says. >> rod rosenstein and andrew

mccabe were ticked off that james comey was fired and that firing triggered then the discussion of firing the president. maybe using the 25th amendment. you know what? they decided instead to hire a special counsel and put this investigation with a special counsel, with their friends out of touch of the normal course of things, deliberately and -- without any event justifying it. there was no crime. steve: that's right. there was at that point there was zero evidence. and when james comey, i believe he already had been fired, went back in front of congress, so did you have any, when you left the fbi was there any evidence that the president had colluded? nope. they did have that fisa thing though where they used the dossier as tent pole recording that they didn't bring that up last night. they did however talk about how there were number of people at the department of justice and the fbi, who despite what the

constitution says regarding the 25th amendment, they were on their own trying to figure a way to boot the next president. >> the discussion of the 25th amendment was simply rod raised the issue and discussed it with me in the context of thinking about how many other cabinet officials might support such an effort. i incident have much to contribute to be perfectly honest in that conversation. so i listened to what he had to say but to be fair it was an unbelievably stressful time. it was really something that he kind of threw out in a, in a very frenzied chaotic conversation about where we were and what we needed to do next. brian: we'll eventually find out what goes on because the chairman of the judiciary committee, lindsey graham from munich i will haul these guys in, put hem under oath.

find out who is telling truth. $30 million, still adding later, robert mueller, investigation has done nothing to move the country forward unless you believe there was ultimate collusion and conspiracy. we're about to find out soon. it is hard to come to that conclusion now. i would like to add one more thing, he was caught lying three times by the inspector general, inspector general appointed by barack obama. this is non-biased look into who andy mccabe is. he said, it was such a tense time i might have misremembered. fine. why don't you give michael flynn the same deference. ainsley: do you think rosenstein will speak. brian: or pack up and leave. pack up and leave. steve: rosenstein has been asked to go to congress before the last six months, every turn he doesn't want to be under oath. make it a couple of people. make i talk informally to the people who head the committee. he does not want to go on the record. ainsley: he has to say something now. steve: you would think so because he says he was serious.

dan bongino saw the interlast night and he was aghast. >> if you watch the interview with open eyes and open ears, that did not scare the hell out of but the power of big government, you still insist that the swamp doesn't exist, you didn't watch the same interview i did. the discussions about using the 25th amendment to remove president trump from office, something andrew mccabe and rod rosenstein would not have a role whatsoever, talking about physical or mental incapacitation, doesn't clearly apply, and discussion about wearing a wire in the white house? if this was serious, this was a coup attempt, there is no doubt about it. steve: one of the other things mr. mccabe, the president came in and, right after he had fired james comey, you know, nobody liked him at fbi. scott pelley said how was he regarded there? everybody i knew loved him. they didn't talk about though, one of the reasons the president

gave this as rational for firing mr. comey, the fact during the last presidential, he, james comey inserted himself in the presidential process which many democrats regard as costing hillary clinton the election. there were democrats and republicans who both wanted him fired. and now, you know, revisionist history about he was fantastic leader, there was a lot of controversy regarding mr. comey at that time. ainsley: how much he doesn't like rosenstein because he is saying these things about the wire and revealing that. what was your overall feeling of the interview. steve: a lot of questions missing. brian: i thought you have the best point, i don't think scott pelley is not following story, read a couple books, watches msnbc feels as though he knew the story. where was the question about peter strzok and lisa page and fusion. before you go ask the president what about mess after house you had. ainsley: one question.

>> steve: according to peter strzok, lisa page, they went into your office, andy's office to talk about the insurance policy. what was the insurance policy? where was that question, scott pelley? just saying. >> it was 30 minute interview. i'm sure they sat down together several hours. brian: i think you're right. i watched the overtime. i didn't see that in the overtime. i got the app. steve: we're talking about it. ainsley: you can read his book. steve: coming out tomorrow. jillian has some headlines right now. jillian: that's right. you spent times talking about this morning if you're just joining us there are new questions about the alleged racist and homophobic attack on "empire" actor jesse smollett. chicago police are talking to him again. he is no longer considered a victim in the case. two brothers, one persons interest were released by police without charges. smollett's attorney is denying charges the attack was a hoax. the case could reportedly go to

♪ steve: listen to this. stockton, california officially the first in the united states to roll out a universal basic income, ubi. the city once known as america's foreclosure capital, will pay oaf 100 low income residents 500 bucks a month, no strings attached to try to combat poverty. big question is, is it going to work? mattie duppler, senior fellow at the national taxpayer's union. she is working on this president's day. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: it is not a real universal basic income thing stockton is doing. it is very limited. is it going to work? >> that is exactly right, steve. stockton knows they have seen the other examples around the globe of universal basic income

that hasn't worked at out. it is not universal at all. affects 4% the population. it only goes for people below a certain median income. that is on silt of a ubi program. says everyone. get as payout, thinking being this gets rid of disincentives people getting aid to not find work. in finland and canada they tried these programs and they have found the so be true. paying people not to work you don't create any incentives to get people into the workforce anymore, so that creates some problems. steve: here is the thing, and if it were successful, everybody got 500 bucks, $1000 per month not to work, vanely nobody is going to be able to put the money in to pay the people 500 or $1000 a month? >> that is an interesting to a solution to a problem we had. it is amazing to me, proponents

of a ubi program, this is way to get rid of inequality to help people who can't work. look at examples of places that try this, that have really robust social safety nets. they say it you does nothing to affects the inequalities. finland, canada canceled the programs because they are considered intee effective. steve: one other thing. there is a story about the green new deal. every building, studio, one you're in, will have to be retrofitted. they have to estimate it woulds close to 2,000-dollars per apartment in new york city just to install led light bulbs. >> just to screw in a light bulb, 2,000 bucks an apartment. this is pretty modest estimate. the rest of the green new deal, calls for getting rid of all our energy structure to replace it

with greening infrastructure. we have an example. president obama's stimulus plan created a lot of incentive to green up federal buildings. it was exorbitant cost, not a lot to show it. perfect example in california, the high-speed rail was canceled with 10 years of delay, no rail put into the ground, shows you how efficient regulations are when it goes to building infrastructure. steve: president trump says after last week he wants the money they gave california for high speed back. governor says no. steve: go back to taxpayers, not federal covers. steve: don't hold your breath. mattie duppler, thanks. >> good to see you. steve: owe says president trump is making crisis up at southern border. >> no emergency there. unquestionably, not a national emergency. >> all hands on deck to refuse this president. steve: you know who disagrees

producers note you felt he was sincerely trying to help everybody there to represent you. you had a experience with jim acosta. what was that like? >> oh, besides being with the president, that was my second favorite part of it. acosta would have ignored angel moms, would have packed up and i accosted him, called him out on his lies, ask him when he will have us on? i'm not standing next to him, i didn't want to be props for a 30 seconds shot. he owes angel moms, a lot of us. he owes us a real interview, he could have had on three years ago, three years, nothing, no angel moms. it doesn't have to be me. he made it about himself, when i told himself he talked about himself, how much he loved us and put his hand over his heart,
