their lap. rob: have you got to be kidding me. group of people seen feet away interest this bear in the smoky mountains. those things will eat you. jillian: yeah. have a good day. steve: 6:00 in new york city. 6:00 in baltimore, maryland and straight to a fox news alert. maryland congressman and house oversight chairman elijah cummings has died at the age of 68. brian: consumption passing away overnight due to what they say is ongoing health complications. ainsley: griff jenkins is live in our nation's capital with the breaking story. griff: waking up to sad news on capitol hill where elijah cummings was a fixture. a powerful chairman of the house oversight and reform committee. served as the representative from maryland's seventh congressional district sips 1996. at approximately 2:45 a.m. on thursday, october 179th,

2019 elijah cummings passed away at johns hopkins hospital due to long standing health challenges. cummings had been out of congress the last month due to medical procedures. he was born and raised in baltimore. a city he dearl loved loved. he obtained his bachelor's degree in political science howard university and graduated from the university of maryland school of law. he was expected to return to his office this week. obviously did not. his career began in the maryland house of delegates. cummings was a key figure if impeachment inquiry. of course everyone knows recently feuding with president trump over conditions in baltimore. now, the archdiocese of baltimore reacting just moments ago tweeting. this. saying our heart felt prayers go out to the family of cummings who generally shared his god-given gifts and talents with the people of his beloved city, state and nation for so many years. we give thanks for his dedicated service and pray for the repose of his soul. #faith in baltimore. and those of house covered

cummings over the years have watched his struggle with these health issues in recent years. he used a walk tore brace himself to stand. a motorized wheelchair to get around the capitol. he was always willing to stop to talk to us in the hallways. he leaves behind his wife mya and three children. chairman cummings was 68 years old. i will share with you just a very quick story, guys, of what kind of guy cummings was about two years ago i was trying to cover a hearing for him for you guys to get sound the next day. he had already -- the meetings had broken up. he had talked to the press and moved on. was going down the hallway. i ran up and said congressman, please i missed the gaggle could you talk to me? he did. give me a good soundbite for us. but my cameraman later told me we weren't rolling i said oh no we didn't even get it. it was so important. we went back to his office. 30 minutes later, found him. i said i'm so sorry, we weren't rolling on the camera. he shook his head and said okay. let's do it again. his answer was twice as powerful as the first soundbite he gave me.

that's the kind of guy he was on capitol hill. and reporters like me will miss him dearly. brian: he was very fiery on issues. i remember the big when he came to mark meadow's aid after the clash he had with a member of the squad during one of those hearings. and you saw some bipartisan there when he said, you know, you and i are friends. going across the aisle the long time republican from north carolina. very much in charge and all over these latest hearings. >> that's right, brian. what you speak to with friendship with meadows and years of leadership of the reform committee, certainly a testament to the respect he wielded up here on capitol hill despite despite the partisan division only gotten worse over years. his respect intact. ainsley: he was a key figure in the president's impeachment. steve: stay tuned. griff: the president was investigating. remember this whole feud over the baltimore conditions was not a good chapter in that

relationship. ainsley: right. steve: thank you very much. blunt and passionate speechmaker. we don't know exactly the nature of what his office called longstanding health challenges. we do know in 2017 he had a minimally invasive heart procedure that he was supposed to return to work pretty promptly. but it led to an infection and he was kept in the hospital longer than expected. and he was also -- and this speaks to griff talking about his mobility issues. later he was hospitalized for a knee infection; however, earlier this year, he said his health was fine. nonetheless, it was cleared at about 2:45 this morning at johns hopkins there in baltimore he died at 68. ainsley: he was supposed to be there for voting this week. the congress reconvened on tuesday after the two-week off for the jewish holidays. he was supposed to be there. missed those two votes on tuesday. he said at the end of september he would be back. his doctors gave him a week. said you need a week to

recover and then can you go back. he didn't come back this week. we learned the news this morning. we were getting ready for work and the news broke. his staff released that statement and said he died at 2:45 this morning. so young. he was the son of pentecostal ministers. he says i pray that god takes to us higher ground he said that about our country. dead at 68. brian: something much less important just politics on capitol hill. guess what, another day some more drama for the first time since taking two weeks off, leaders of both parties gathered at the white house to find out what's going to be on the agenda and first and foremost, i guess, was syria. it didn't seem like this meeting lasted long. next thing you know it's deja vu all over again as both sides give their versions of a breakdown, let's say, of communication. steve: i have been looking through the wires in the newspapers this morning. it looks like the associated press has a pretty accurate tik tok of what happened. it was shortly after the house voted to oppose the president's troop withdrawal in syria, substantially.

254 to 60. in the meeting. the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, mentioned the vote. and then chuck schumer started to read a quote from defense secretary mattis. the president cut him off. said mattis was the world's most overrated general not tough enough. nancy pelosi said russia always wanted a foot hold in the middle east. nancy pelosi said all roads with you lead to putin. and that started it. then trump said nobody hates isis more than i do. she said you don't know that steny hoyer said this is not helpful. and then the president, as they got up to leave said we will see you at the polls. ainsley: she says that the president -- people in the room said they heard the president say you are a 3rd grade politician. the politician said he said i heard a third rate politician. nonetheless, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi they come out and have this news conference. she says that the president is, what was the word she used. that he had a meltdown. she has been praying for him. now she is praying for his health because the meltdown.

brian: that's the same reaction. we're going to do impeachment prayerfully. she always is praying for the president's health. their goal is to paint the president not as they had a dispute and disagreement but that he is totally unworthy, mentally unhinged. and they want to paint that picture because maybe they got a look at the debate stage and thought to themselves if we just wait for the polls to happen, i don't think we are going to be too successful. now all of a sudden the war hawks are sitting outside of the white house. these people who didn't say a word when president obama pulled everybody out of iraq. didn't say anything when the president obama didn't enforce the red line. when the president obama said the isis that everybody fears now is a jv team, now all the sudden she wants the president to crack down. steve: well, the president has photographers posted inside and he had this posted to twitter. tweeted as nervous nancy's unhinged meltdown. ainsley: standing there

pointing her finger at him. that has become her official twitter picture. ainsley: she used the picture too. steve: steve we have seen this before. chuck and nancy gone to the white house and devolved into what it was. here she is talking about what happened. listen. >> we witnessed on the part of the president was a meltdown. sad to say. >> he was insulting. particularly to the speaker. she kept her cool completely. but he called her a third rate politician. this was not a dialogue. it was sort of a diatribe, a nasty diatribe not focused on the facts so. >> if you are a democrat you look at them and you say glad they walked out. they were standing up to a bully as the narrative that they're painting. if you are a republican, you are a conservative you support the president, they look at it as another chance for them to come together and they don't. they walk out and they have this feud. brian: guess what in board rooms across the country and big rooms and small people have disagreements don't like each other personally.

if their goal is to get something done for their company, for their business they stick it out. only in washington do they take pride in breaking up meetings and not accomplishing anything and hoping to score political points. ainsley: fun i couldn't say that congressman kevin mccarthy was in the meeting. and he said they walked in and so then we started conducting business as usual. listen. >> they left the meeting. other democrats stayed. and we had the most normal meeting you could ever have. the president starts out and he provides the letter that he sent to the president of turkey and we hand it to every leader. do you know what speaker pelosi did. she doesn't read it and turns it over flat to show in the president's face she is not going to read his letter. then she starts to smile. the president calls her out. nancy, why are you laughing? this is a serious item? the general joint chief tells how he recommended to the president that he remove some of our men because they were in danger. he didn't want them to be harmed. we have got the vice president over in turkey trying to get a cease-fire. and everything they care

about is impeachment. steve: see, that's the key. it's not just nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, who is sitting across the table from him. he looks at her as that's the woman who is running the impeachment inquiry that is completely unfair, he feels, in the house of representatives. she wants to take my job from me and so going in, you had to figure that there were going to be some dynamics, some drama and there was. the president overnight tweeted this: i am the only person who can fight for the safety of our troops and bring them home from the ridiculous and costly endless wars and be scorned. democrats always liked that position until i took it. democrats always liked walls, until i built them. do you see what's happening here? brian: so we will see. they are going to vote to condemn this action in the house and in the senate. there is bipartisan. most people are against what the president did. and what turkey has overstepped. right now the secretary of state, the vice president lead a delegation into turkey to try to ratchet

everything down. but right now it looks like the russians have gained control of that region. the syrians have moved in there to confront turkey turkey has overstepped even what they told president trump they were going to do. so they are about plus 20 miles in across the border. steve: with that tweet the president doubled down he is not going to change a thing at this point. brian: for some reason my ipad is chronicling everything you are saying. like the congressional record. steve: word sirius or syria. there it goes again. ainsley: everything he says. brian: anything syria related out of your copy, jillian. jillian: she is about to record everything i'm about to say. start off with this fox news alert now. the united kingdom agrees to a deal to leave the european union. boris johnson lawmakers to ratify the brexit agreement this weekend. saying we have great new deal that takes back control. now parliament should get brexit done on saturday so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of

living, the nhs, violent crime, and our environment. #get brexit done #take back control. lawmakers will grill eu ambassador gordon sondland on capitol hill today. sondland is expected to testify behind closed doors regarding a discussion he had with top ukrainian officials about the gas company's link to hunter biden. in her testimony earlier this week. fiona hill claimed sondland was involved in a push to pressure ukraine into targeting a trump rival. sunday land insists he did nothing wrong. 25,000 teachers will hit the picket lines and 300,000 students won't be going to school today in chicago. after months of negotiations, the city's teacher's union voting to strike overnight. teachers want better pay, benefits, and an official class size limit. mayor lori lightfoot says her latest offer met those demands. the teacher's union says it wasn't good enough. a look at your headlines. send it back to you. steve: let's see what happens. brian: 12 minutes after the hour. joe biden wants campaign

cash is trying to dry up. some of his rivals have over $20 million in the bank. ainsley: so, what does that say about the future of his campaign? we'll talk about it coming up next. ♪ i can't get no satisfaction ♪

♪ ♪ takin' it off road station ted! goiwagon, eh?ip, huh? you know it's an suv! your family is duckin' and rollin'... while we stowin' and goin' but that's cool, i know for a fact your suv does not suck. and why is that? it aint got that vacuum in the back, whoo! sucking stuff up! what else are we gonna find? we got to go. vacuum in the back, hallelujah! get 0% financing for 60 months plus $2,250 total bonus cash on the 2019 chrysler pacifica.

>> we did not start off by dropping $10 million from a

senate campaign, wherever that money was raised from, into a race. we have been in the process of having about a third of the time that many people have had, and we're doing fine. steve: well, is he? former vice president joe biden defending yesterday afternoon his campaign funds after a new report shows he has a lot less cash on hand than his top rivals. so what does that tell us about the future of biden's candidacy? let's talk to collin reed, former campaign manager for senator scott brown. >> hey, steve. steve: good morning to you. what does this say to you? we just heard in that soundbite talking about rolling over money from other -- some other campaign. what's he talking about with that? >> it seems like elizabeth warren has gotten under his skin. she has replaced him atop the polls and assumed the frontrunner status. campaign donors they want to invest in winners. they don't want to throw good money after bad. any campaign going in the wrong direction it's not surprising that donors might hit the brakes and say wait

a minute why don't you take another look at this campaign before i plow more money into it. steve: speak of money, bernie sanders has plenty of money, much more on hand than joe biden. as you see right there 33 million more and he has 25. baton rouge 23. harris 10 and joe biden at 8.98 million right now. third quarter cash in hand. what does that say to you about -- you know, he says i got in late in the third quarter. do you buy that? >> i think he might be -- assumed he was going to take in more than he is. and campaigns are like any small business, steve. fundamentally you have to spend less than you bring in. if you don't, and you run out of money, the lights go off, the staff doesn't get paid, people get laid off. when i was a campaign manager, i used to have this recurring nightmare i would wake up in mid october and the campaign would be out of money and it would be all my fault it. didn't happen to me. i had a good fundraising team and candidate that worked hard. when the polls start going south the money will follow and all down hill from there. steve: it's got to be a nightmare for the democrats when they take a look at the

amount of cash that president trump has on hand right now. it's 83.2 million. that's quite a war chest. >> that's the beauty of running in uncontested primary. can you sit back and amass your resources while everyone else spends all theirs. president trump is doing some smart things strategically spending money while no one else is. you do have the space to yourself. steve: let me ask you a little bit about this. how much does the hunter biden situation play into the fact that as democratic donors are opening up their wallets and their hearts to candidates they are thinking maybe not joe biden because he has got that problem. >> and as long as this impeachment issue is front and center in the heed lines which it will be for the foreseeable future so too will hunter biden's whoas in the ukraine. other than money headlines you get second most commodity two extrickably linked. when you have trevor noah ripping biden's response on how he handled the ukraine

issue. voters reading issues and saying maybe i better look some place else and find another horse. steve: joe biden still thinks he is the frontrunner. >> i think the polls would say otherwise. steve: there you go, collin reed, former campaign manager for scott brown. thank you for joining us live. what do you think email us at friends@foxnews.com. a warning sign of what china can do to the u.s. on a really big scale. we'll be right back. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ so you don't have to stash antacids here...

support of the hong kong protesters who want this horrible thing called freedom. china is threatening to cut ties with the nba. do you believe this? which could cost the association billions. our next guest says we ewe should takes that a warning how china could use leverage on much larger scale to suppress those when they do outrageous things. ajit pai joining us now. ajit, you saw this as an opportunity with the nba when we watched two weeks of outrage and these powerful players keep their mouths shut against communist china while they opened them up wide and talk a lot about when something is wrong in this country. how could this be a learning moment? >> i think what is disturbing about this episode and -- opening to millions of americans is not just who is saying these things, what the concessions they are making to china, but why they are interested. if the chinese government has such leverage over the nba stars and the league itself. that raises the question. how else could they export

their censor shop their anti-democratic values and ultimately their control when it comes to more important things 5 g networks and wireless networks of the future. these are threats to our security that i think americans are waking up to. it's important for the american government, i think, to see that threat as well. brian: in big towns and in large. this isn't a washington issue. think about this. you are not just screaming from the mountain top to get people over zealous to go with an american company. if they are trying to use leverage of a streaming tv deal and sneakers over the most powerful league in the world for basketball players, what could they have control over our communications? >> and that's part of the reason why yesterday i said look, if this is the leverage that china is willing to use over things like basketball and flag emojis and the like, just imagine if we have 5 g networks that power all of our industries that work for our military? what kind of leverage the chinese government could exert over the operators here in the united states if they want information about how we are doing business, how we live our lives? that is a threat that i

don't think the american people are willing to live with. and i certainly am not, either, as the head of the fec. brian: it's a shame. the nba hats power. there is no greek league take its place or italian league that might have some interesting talent. there is no second nba. the people love the league but they are not standing up to china. neither did tiff miss, neither did the marriott who the nerve to use a quote from the dalai lama n one of those ads or mercedes did. neither did apple as they removed flag from emoji choices. powerful companies giving in to china because of the market and the power that they have and the money they can make. >> it's just incredible and just yesterday i read a story about an espn host that hosts a very popular chinese basketball program. apparently the chinese company yanked the broadcast of that company in china simply because he liked the very tweet that the houston rockets general manager put out there. i mean, it's gotten to the

point where censorship is being exported to the united states. americans are being inhibited from what they believe because they are worried about losing business in china. that's a dangerous precedent to set. brian: yeah, absolutely. people should say okay, i don't run tiffanies, i don't run mercedes, i'm not part of apple. keep in mind, too. i think the american people hate this and hate being bull idea by a communist country like this who just markets oppression and is trying to push that around the world. so keep on talking about it and hopefully people at their barbecues and water coolers will understand what what you we means for our security. >> absolutely. brian: thank you so much. >> absolutely. thanks for having me on. brian: first they tried boulders. now they have another solution for crisis. a plywood wall. i'm serious. are you offended? ♪ ♪ because national lets me lose the wait at the counter...

morning. the united kingdom has agreed to a deal to finally leave the eu, the european union. ainsley: that's right. the prime minister boris johnson pushing lawmakers to ratify this brexit agreement over this coming weekend. brian: i don't like the idea of leaders tweeting. we have a great new deal that takes back control. now parliament should get brexit done on saturday so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of living, nhs, violent crime, and our environment, #get brexit done, #take back control. the u.k. is set to leave the eu on october 31st. i do understand they have to file for an extension because it's supposed to be up on the 19th. the european union parliament has to okay this and so does the british parliament. early indications are not strong jeremy corbyn i don't know how much power he has in the parliament he says this is worse than theresa may's deal. northern ireland says we have big questions about this. they have separate border

issues. steve: so it's up against the clock. what's going to happen? stay tuned. in the meantime let's talk a little bit about we have depicted many times how bad the homeless crisis has gotten in some major metropolitan areas in california. particularly los angeles and san francisco. see that wall right there? a guy put together it looks lying particle board or plywood board reinforcement 1 by 3s and he put it up against the ingle side pass which was a walkway through a neighborhood to try to stop the drug deals and the homeless problem. ainsley: the neighborhood put it up. he wants to remain anonymous. he says needles have been discovered in my backyard. my shed and garage have been broken into. the state of california has a big homelessness problem, and we are willing to shoulder our share of that problem. but this is a public safety issue and we should not be expected to compromise. brian: and there is a couple other things going on. first off, give me a second. i'm offended by the idea of

a wall separating people. ainsley: it's working. steve: just temporary. brian: in this day and age why are we going back to medieval times setting up walls. so offensive. ainsley: this is an alleyway, brian, he was finding needles back there. and people were going to the bathroom back there. brian: you should understand sometimes people have to use needles and go to the bathroom. why aren't you understanding, ainsley, where is your compassion? ainsley: you should open up more of these parking lots that allow people to go and sleep and open up some of these facilities where people can use needles. brian: i'm thinking about it. steve: here's the thing, the person who built that wall that you are seeing right there, got permission from the san francisco public works. but after a couple days, the plywood wall was taken down after complaints. they may put up a gate. when you look at the homeless crisis out there, in 2015, 6775 homeless. 2017, 6800. now in 2019 it's at 8,000 plus.

so, just getting wrong direction in san francisco. and somebody was trying to do something and got the okay from the public works. their own wall. but the wall is down. ainsley: rudy said when he was mayor of new york he said he thought it was so inhumane. they are saying it's inhumane to block those areas and put these boulders up. he said it was so inhumane to watch these people sleeping on the streets. these are human beings. they are someone's child. he would tell his officers, pick them up, go take them to a shelter so that they have food and they have clothes and they get the medical treatment that they need. brian: people like dr. drew who started this issue and by the way in san francisco you don't have the market cornered on homelessness, los angeles is right there. may be even greater maybe in places like orange county and san diego. that is why the exit strategy for most californians has hit almost an all-time high. the taxes are too high. the situation is too untenable. and the quality of life is no longer where it was. and keep in mind, too. this is the state that wants to give and is giving

illegal immigrants free healthcare. so it's become a magnet. so why even worry about shelter. you can live on the streets and be taken care of. it's an outrageous series of events. steve: one person tried to take things into their own hands. ainsley: i thought you supported. brian: i changed. steve: we will keep you posted on that. 24 minutes before the the hour. a fox news alert. moments ago vice president mike pence and secretary of state mike pompeo landed in turkey in hopes of brokering a peace deal. brian: comes as the turkish offensive against the kurds in that area into syria ramps up and the russians are now taking control of the area we left. ainsley: trey yingst is live with the latest on the tensions there and renewed hope for peace. trey? >> brian, ainsley, steve. good morning the american delegation led by vice president mike pence and secretary of state mike pompeo has arrived here in ankara for meetings today with turkish president erdogan. the original goal of this president was to try to broker a cease-fire agreement between kurdish forces and the turkish

military as turkey continues their invasion into northern syria. these developments do come just hours after fox news obtained a letter written by president trump to turkish president erdogan on the day the offensive began. in the letter trump writes that erdogan doesn't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people. today erdogan said he threw that letter in the trash. and already dozens of civilians have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced. in washington yesterday, president trump made a number of statements about the unfolding violence that started after he made a decision to pull u.s. troops out of syria. >> we have a situation where turkey is taking land from syria. syria is not happy about it. let them work it out. we shouldn't be over there. >> it doesn't appear the president is letting them work it out alone as his delegation did just arrive in ankara. overnight president trump tweeted he was the only person who could bring u.s. troops home from the middle east. as he sent that tweet,

thousands of more u.s. troops are preparing for deployment to saudi arabia, another country in the middle east. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: yeah, trey, that is odd. we don't know exactly what they are doing there. steve: we don't. but they are trying to figure it out. 22 minutes now before the top of the hour. jillian, good morning. jillian: good morning. we have news that you guys talked about at the top of the hour. just joining us. this is a fox news alert. stung and sad news out of d.c. this morning. elijah cummings has died. cummings office says he passed away at john hopkins hospital overnight due to ongoing health complications. secretary of state mike pompeo tweeting just moments ago saying, quote: saddened by the news that representative cummings, a dedicated public servant, has passed away. our prayers are with his family and friends at this difficult time. cummings has been representing maryland's seventh congressional district sips 1996. 19 -- since 1996. he leaves behind a wife and three children. he was 68 years old.

decide is there really a case here? and those decisions are made in private. so, can secret testimony be introduced against the president? of course not. but the committee, the intelligence committee can decide? secret what to present in public and then in there it can be challenged. so this is a long process. and we shouldn't be influenced by hollywood and by our image of a jury trial because the house gets to righwrite its own rules. the piece i wrote this morning. whether they are objectively fair or not. there is no appeal. they allow for private. steve: looks like a fishing expedition. there have been very selective leaks. the leaks only come out it makes the president look bad. >> right. because the people doing the investigating has decided there is a case against the president. steve: is that fair? >> it's the system. it may feel unfair in our

gut but consistent with the constitution and consistent with the house rules. it's like prosecutors investigating somebody. they really think that person is guilty. they don't announce it. they are looking for evidence to support that idea or if there is any evidence contrary to it. but, prosecutors sometimes themselves leak because they want to sort of poison the well against the person they are investigating. >> so, judge, are you saying that for nixon and clinton they did this same exact thing? >> no, they didn't do the same exact thing. brian: do we have footage of andrew johnson? >> in the nixon case was my former boss peter rodino i was his page a hundred years ago. chairman of the house judiciary committee. judiciary did everything. in the clinton case the chair was henry hide of house judiciary. judiciary did everything. for some reason this is beginning not with judiciary but with intelligence. pat chip lone the white house lawyer says you can't

state house before coming to congress in 1996. he served for several years as the ranking member on the house oversight and reform committee but became the chairman after democrats became the majority party this year. now, president trump and cummings often traded jabs at each other. the president drew national headlines after he criticized cummings hometown of baltimore this past summer. cummings responded and the two traded several jabs at each other. now, we are still waiting from official reaction from the president as well as the white house. it is early. we have heard from secretary of state though mike pompeo on twitter. this is what he had to say within the last hour. quote: saddened by the news that representative cummings, a dedicated public servant, has passed away. our prayers are with his family and friends at this difficult time. we are also hearing from democratic senator of virginia mark warner. he said, quote: tremendously saddened to learn of the passing of a elijah cummings. this is a loss for baltimore, congress, and the country. now we do expect to see president trump on camera here within the next cup perform hours. is he going to be heading out to texas for several

events. he off stopped to talk to reporters on his way to marine one. we will be looking to see if he has any reaction to this death. but it really will have a major impact here in washington. guys, back to you. steve: absolutely, mark. thank you very much. there's a quote about mr. cummings. he said many young men in my neighborhood were going to reform school he told the east texas review. though i didn't completely know what reform school was i knew that perry mason won a lot of cases. i thought these young men probably needed lawyers and that was one of his determinations in becoming a lawyer. ainsley: i hate that such a young man. 68 years old. apparently had a lot of health issues. he spent months in the hospital last year. the first timing for his heart. the second time he had an infection in his knee. and then he had some more complications a few weeks ago at the end of september. the doctors said you are going to be good to go in a week. can you go back and vote. he wasn't there for two of the votes on tuesday when the house came back together after taking two weeks off for the jewish holidays.

steve: very sad news. congressman elijah cummings dead at the age of 68. brian: the president initially got along with him. they talked about doing something on healthcare together. they had the famous war of words, war of social media. but he is -- i think he is extremely well-respected on both sides of the aisle. i think you will see that as the day comes out and people reflect on his career and person he was. meanwhile something much less important but impactful because it effects politics in washington and effects our overseas policy, as well as if anything is going to get done in the next month in the congressional session. yesterday the first time since taking a two-week break this fall, it was time for leadership to get back together and see what they're capable of getting together on. this session. so with the leadership together it didn't take long for president trump and the speaker of the house to get into a clash and both sides run to their respective corners and complain about the other. steve: there, yeah you can see nancy pelosi in the

room. ainsley: pointing her finger at the president. steve: at the president. and what it all comes down. and then president trump tweeted this with the attachment to the picture nervous nancy's unhinged meltdown what it was all about was nancy said that russia always wanted a foot hold in the middle east and nancy said all roads with you lead to putin and that started it. back and forth. ainsley: they had some words back and forth and nancy and chuck walk out with steny hoyer in the background you can see them there having this news conference. she ended up saying that the president had a meltdown. and she was praying for his health now. because of the meltdown. brian: listen. steny hoyer seems to make the most sense in this and most level-headed. another thing that stands out any time you see nancy pelosi and steny hoyer at a press conference they hate each other. steny hoyer stood up in congressional. what a bad person the president is many and senator schumer comes ton to say he gets tough with the wrong people. what i think is unbelievable

in nancy pelosi's comments as steve just said was that she says all roads lead to putin. there is one president that is responsible for allowing vladimir putin back in the middle east. it's barack obama. his lack of action in syria that allowed the insurgency, iran to come back. opened the door for russia to come in. they knocked on the door in baghdad and said we are here now. make sure you don't bomb us and we will make sure we don't bomb you. so, vladimir putin wasn't invited into the middle east by this president. steve: after they left that particular cabinet room, chuck and nancy went outside and said this about their meeting with the president. >> we witnessed on the part of the president was a meltdown. sad to say. >> he was insulting, particularly to the speaker. she kept her cool completely. but he called her a third-rate politician. this was not a dialogue. it was sort of a diatribe, a nasty diatribe. not focused on the facts.

steve: steny hoyer screen left right there when they were still in that room said this is not useful as they left and then the president said goodbye. we'll see you at the polls. ainsley: listen. why can't they just sit down and talk? apparently the meeting continued. when they left democrats and republicans were able to discuss and get along. it looks like, you know, republicans, conservatives are going to say it's politics. a political stunt. this is what the democrats do. not moving along our issues. issues that their constituents really care about. but if you are a democrat you are going to say good for them for standing up to the bully. steve: what happened regarding the president who takes action. watch. >> he has been a man not only of words but actions. taking on isis, confronting so many of the problems that barack obama created. when barack obama, by the way, was one who called them jv team. and there you have got nancy pelosi trying to criticize the president when she, herself, let barack obama's policies not only on isis,

letting them really come -- become of age, but also what they did in iran. president trump is standing up to iran. standing up to china. standing up to north korea. standing up to russia. brian: the president did something very controversial. nancy pelosi is not the only politician upset that he pulled troops out of syria. do you know what lindsey graham did they talked all sunday. they had arguments. they have a job to do. ainsley: they are republicanning. brian: they are republicans but they also have a job to do. there was a time in which you disagreed, you talked about it, maybe wrote a column about it but you don't storm out and not net gig done. the president tweeted out something nancy pelosi needs help fast. there is either something wrong with her upstairs or she just plain doesn't like our country. she had a total meltdown in the white house. it's very sad to watch. pray for her. she is very sick. everyone is praying but no one is talking. steve: meanwhile, take a look. breaking news this morning. the united kingdom and the

eu have agreed to a new divorce deal in a key brexit break through. boris johnson, prime minister of the u.k. said this: we have a great new deal that takes back control. now parliament should get brexit done on saturday. so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of living. the national health service. violent crime, and our environment. stuart varney joins us right now live. of course he is the host of varney and company on fox business. what does this all mean, stuart? >> it has great meaning for the brits, for europe, and also, most importantly, for the united states. let's go through. this they have got this draft brexit deal that gets the brits out of the european union. a top european official says it's a fair and balanced agreement. how about that? steve: i like that. >> interesting phrase, i would say. ainsley: where do they get that. >> yeah, where do they get that. it goes to the european parliament on saturday. this deal is likely to be approved. then it goes to the british parliament where approval is not so certain because there

are some parties which don't agree. steve: so the eu is okay with them getting out but it's the actual parliament. >> on those terms. it's the british parliament which is the last sticking point. and i don't know how that vote will go. but, let's bring this one home here. the importance of this brexit deal, if it goes through, is that we, america, will now have the opportunity to create this extraordinary good trade deal with the brits. it could be a kind of revival of the special relationship between britain and america. boris and mr. trump. that kind of relationship is now possible if the brits see a way clear to get out of the european union. that's a big deal for us. brian: right. it's not going to be that easy. there is a little problem we clean our chickens with chlorine that seems to bother them. i'm not kidding. a rival of boris johnson says this deal is worse than theresa may's deal. we will see what happens in parliament. the problem is the never brexiters people don't want vote just standing in the way of it.

they are not even entertaining this deal which is totally unfair the people of britain spoke out. much like the people of america spoke out. >> yeah, look. i don't know whether this deal will go through the british parliament. it will be one of the most important votes in recent british history. i don't know which way it will go. brian: northern ireland has a problem with it, right? >> this deal, from what i have read, means that there will be no return to a hard border. customs post and fences between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. they are not going to return to that. that's in this deal. ainsley: what are some other points that are in the deal? >> well, there is a small party representing a constituency in northern ireland which says no, we don't like this deal. so they will vote against it. jeremy corbyn, the labor party leader, socialist, he will probably vote against it. can they enough conservatives and liberal democrats who will say okay, it's a deal. we'll do it. but, again, you have got to bring this home. the importance here is if it goes through, and i think eventually it will go through, britain and america

will create a very important trade relationship. a new trade deal. president trump says it will be a huge trade deal. and boris johnson will surely agree with that. brian: remember what president obama said don't vote for brexit brit knights because i'm putting you to the back of the queue. this president says i love the bilateral deal i'm putting you front and center. >> i do think if we get a trade deal with the brits, president trump will suddenly become much more popular in britain than he is now. i was over there a couple months ago. a lot of people came up to me and said, you know, we could use a guy like trump over here get something done. you heard that a lot. ainsley: maybe they will retire that little baby trump balloon they always put up. brian: i'm not sure. >> i would like to see that. brian: how does a baby retire. >> look, you have the chance of a new special relationship and that's a big deal. steve: all right. it will be interesting. brian: as is our relationship with your show very special. >> so i'm told.

brian: 9 to noon on fbn. ainsley: used to live over there but proud to be an american. >> i'm an american citizen despite the accent, okay? steve: thank you, stuart. ainsley: i guess we will keep you. 7:12 in new york city. jillian joins us with more news. ainsley: good morning. news happening today. lawyers for jodi arias are heading to court to appeal her murder conviction. they argue she was stripped of a fair trial in arizona citing prosecutor misconduct and claiming a judge failed to control news coverage of the case. areas is serving a life sentence for killing her ex-boyfriend travis alexander in 2008. also today president trump is heading to dallas, texas for a keep america great rally. the american airlines center preparing for 20,000 supporters. some already lining up outside. while in texas, the president is also expected to hold a fundraising lunch and attend a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new manufacturing plant. and then there is this story. a patriotic high school football team saves the day when the bands couldn't make it.

the united states government in roading out corruption in ukraine that's what we should be focusing on. brian: he never answered the question. former vp joe biden only candidate asked about his son's business dealings. according to new online poll 52% of voters say the candidates should be talking about it. that's fellow democrats. why aren't they talking about it. harris poll and former clinton 2008 presidential campaign chief strategist mark penn did his own similar poll on this. first, on that. if i'm trying to get this nomination, to me, this is a ripe issue am i wrong? >> you are right. the voters are talking about it. that's why i think the biden camp has tried. hunter biden went out. you saw the vice president's response. they tried to respond to this issue. they haven't laid out all the facts here the way you normally want to do when you are really going to put something to rest. brian: let's take a look at

more in their pocket. prison reform. can i go on, healthcare, child tax credit. where do we want to start in the list is this long? i can literally sit here all day with you and say this is why israel, i mean. so many decisions he has made that evangelicals people scratching why to us it's an easy why. you will see a lot of voter registration, organization and act investigation. ainsley: i have heard christians say we like his policies but don't necessarily like the way he acts on twitter the name-calling and things like that. what do you say to critics. >> i know some people are i don't like that. some people like the authenticity, number one is he a new yorker, a strong businessman. i know him personally so i know behind what would be seen as the persona. and understand the man. i get to see him with his family. with his wife. with his grandchildren. his children. and i see that the -- he is a strong man. no doubt about that. but i also see the

compassion, the humanity, the care, the strength and different way than maybe other people see it. ainsley: he was watching tv one night late in the middle of the night. turned the channel and saw you on there. and then he called and that's how you developed a relationship with the family. right? >> you know, ainsley. we started something greater because people wanted to know how did this -- this is an 18-year relationship. he is watching christian television. and calls me out of the blue. now, i'm joking like sure, sure. if on the apprentice you are fired. receptionist called and said mr. trump would like to speak with you. his first words were you have got the it factor. >> we call that the appointing, sir. and just great from there. i mean, got to not only be close with him but his family. his staff. eventually i have a big ministry, big market up here in new york. it's all in the book, never told stories about the man. ainsley: great pictures and stories of meeting with the president.

his family i know have you gotten very close to them and helping just lead our country in a direction toward god. the book is called something greater. and you are very detailed about your childhood. your relationship with your mom was not good. and now it is great. it's healed. and she knows the lord. you talk about marriage. you talk about being a grandmother now. why were you so open and transparent in this book? >> i don't think that we can really be helpful. i think you are not ministry material if you don't show the areas that you have led in life. this is not the script i would have written out psalm 139:16 says all of our days werdaysdayswere ordained beforef them came into being. i trust a sovereign god. i don't say i like the broken parts. people have called it a page-turner. they say there is extreme, vulnerable pain. i think we have to be very real. very raw, very authentic. how can i help you, how can i show what you god can do? your life. >> what was the hardest thing you went through? >> oh, boy, ainsley. this is laden. i thought it would have made

my childhood, my father's suicide. the death of him. sexual and physical abuse. in 2002 i thought can life get any better only to go through 39 different life events and crisis. unwanted divorce that was very devastating to find out that my daughter, who i had helped raise my stepdaughter randy's daughter had cancer. died of cancer. one of the most difficult things. found out that my son was addicted to drugs at the time. now he is one of the most profound preachers. i mean, we went through years of investigation because we had come against pornography so hard. looking back now, i can see people are like you tell all this stuff. but it prepared me for such a time as. this it prepared me to stand in the position and understand what's really happening both from a spiritual perspective and then a natural way like how the system fights you when you stand for righteousness. how unfair our supposedly fair democracy can be. so i am very open about

everything i went through, take ownership for areas that i'm wrong. but, also, just open my life and say, listen, i can help you find your purpose, your supreme reason for being. develop it, discern it, 89% of people are not happy in life is what they do. ainsley: i know. >> not a way to live. ainsley: pick up her book "something greater" jonathan kaine who is with journey. pick up book "something greater" we wish you all the best, paula, god bless you. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. there weren't any questions about immigration during the debate. there was time to ask this. >> we would like you to tell us about a friendship that you have had that would surprise us, what imrackets it's had on you and your beliefs? ainsley ains acting director of citizenship services ken communism nellie is herkencuccit

jillian: welcome back shot of the morning. officers from my home city the philadelphia police department stopping by for a visit and a picture on the curvey couch. but they are not here for sightseeing they are here with a very important mission. let's bring in sergeant robert ryan and the rest of the crew. good to see you guys this morning. you were here recruiting. why did you come to new york for. this it's a lot of people and you know philadelphia is a great city and we like to have some of those citizens move down to philadelphia. jillian: it is a great city, isn't it. >> it is. jillian: i have to ask you guys there is so much going on in the conversation and news these days. there is a lot about police officers, right? i mean, we talk about the back and forth that police officers have with community and i'm curious your opinion why it is so important now more than ever for people to join the department and serve their communities. >> i think it's one of the biggest things we struggle with all the time to get people to join. but if you want to make a difference and you want us

officers in the community to rip, it's best to join the force and make that difference. jillian: why did you join? >> because i wanted to make a difference. this job is the best job in the world. i love it every day. jillian: we love you guys for doing it. we thank you so much. we support you here each and every day. thank you for being here. have fun while you are in new york. all right, guys? send it back to you. ainsley: the website says join philly pd.com if you want to apply. steve: if you want to join the philly cops thanks guys and gals. brian: no contribution riders. ainsley: amazing. free healthcare. steve: terrific. meanwhile, democratic debate moderators under fire over the final round of questions about ellen degeneres' friendship with former president george w. bush. watch this. >> ellen degeneres was criticized after she and george w. bush football game of. defended friendship we are all different and we have forgotten that's okay we are all different. so in that spirit, we would

like to you tell us about a friendship that you have had that would surprise us, what impacts it's had on you and your beliefs. ainsley: critics accusing them of avoiding more important topics like immigration. brian: here is ken cuccinelli. they don't want to ask the question you want answered. they are going to answer the question is it true that you want to give all illegal immigrants free healthcare to get them on the record which would have been really intriguing. they weren't going to ask a question where do you feel as though you should have played a role in helping to secure the border? >> solve the problem. brian: right. were you pointed the topic didn't come up? >> well, look, the american people in polling have consistently for some time identified immigration as the issue that they are most interested in. steve: right. >> there is a reason for that it's because it effects our security. it effects our safety. you just had the philly cops up there. i'm a great supporter of law enforcement. and law enforcement agencies

all over this country deal with the downside of the failure of our immigration system. it isn't just regular folks who come through there we also have to deal with criminals that we wouldn't have to deal with otherwise. and these are solvable problems. it won't happen like that. but it won't happen if congress won't engage. steve: right. >> a lot of those people in congress have done nothing. they complained, but they have done nothing to solve the problem. and we have laid out solutions from experts for months and years and, yet, they ignore it, they ignore it, they ignore it. steve: why do you think that is? you know, right now, of course, america is shopping for whoever is going to be the next elected president just about a year from right now. but when you look at all what they everywher were talkint given immigration is so big you have got to wonder why not? why didn't they talk about that? >> yeah. really i put this on cnn.

and the "new york times." they were asking the questions, right? and to not address this critical issue is astounding. i will say that in other discussions, policy discussions on the left, the immigration issues cheated in such a way that is really shocking, i think, to most americans, the idea of decriminalizing illegal border crossings that we should protect criminals who are here illegally. that we -- and so on. i mean, the list goes on. you mention healthcare for illegal aliens. that is not something they have shied away from in the past by my observation. and ordinary americans find their positions, you know, in terms of trying to get the support of the extreme left. shocking. and i can't imagine politically that will be helpful. i can tell you as a policy matter where i address this, those would be disasters on top of the crisis we already have.

ainsley: ken, you obviously know the issues. your name is being floated as the next dhs secretary. department of homeland security. the president asks you to do, this what are you going to say? >> look, the president asked me to come into the administration. i was happy to do it. i feel like we have been successful under his leadership. it's really encouraging to work under somebody who really pushes, who wants to put the pedal to the metal to solve a problem. a major problem that he campaigned on. and we are going to continue to do that in whatever position i'm in. i have great relationship here within the department president's leadership is a critical element here that's allowing us to succeed over, say, the last six months. if the courts don't get in our way. we'll continue to succeed. brian: if nominated you will take it. there is some talk that maybe mitch mcconnell doesn't like you. >> well, you know, we are not all perfect. and you can assign that to me. but, you know, my previous

roles i was very political and i was very aggressive. that aggressiveness is presumably part of the reason the president wanted to hire me stew head uscis and participate nate advancing his immigration agenda. the politics has been set aside from my previous work. but i have been pushing the same way, 110% to get this job done and get it done well. and, again, the president has cleared the path with his leadership with what he has done with mexico in the northern triangle countries. as i said, if the courts don't get in the way, we will continue to improve in this area. but long-term change won't come until congress engages and helps us fix some of these loopholes. steve: absolutely right. ken cuccinelli with us today. ainsley: good to see you. steve: 18 minutes before the top of the hour. democrats keep pushing for a $15 an hour minimum wage. target tried that and employees say it's costing them even more. the reality the left doesn't want to hear coming up next

steve: 2020 democratic hopefuls still making the case for minimum wage increase. >> raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would put more money in people's pockets. >> raising the wages of every child care w rk and pre-school teacher. >> that minimum wage job that does not pay enough for him to meet the bills at the end of the month. >> we cannot and must not turn our backs on the pain of the working class of this country. steve: well, one business is following their lead and suggestion is target with plans to raise its starting minimum wage to $15 an hour by next year. but employees say the move has already led to reduced hours and increased automation. so, is this real world

evidence that a wage hike can sometimes backfire? here to way in is apple metro ceo and chairman zane, good morning to you. >> good morning to you. steve: what do you think is going on here. >> i'm not certain. i think the people advocating this haven't got a clue about how it all works. the laws of supply and demand, economics. it's just not sustainable and a stressed industry or any industry labor intensive to raise or double labor unless you can recover it somewhere. steve: sure. we have a graphic. target has increased wages since 2017. 2017 it was 11 bucks an hour. then the next year 12. 13, and now by the end of 2020 it's going to be 15 bucks an hour. how do they do that? >> they cut back hours. they term people. they reduce -- by the way, when you cut back hours, you bring them under 30 hours a week so they are no longer

eligible for healthcare. for a port-time worker to be eligible for the obamacare, obama set these laws, you needed to work a minimum of 30 hours a week. steve: just looking at those numbers, it looks like they have gone up 40% over just what three or four years. >> 40% in three years it's double in five. double in five years. in terms of labor. so, the whole retail industry, with online ordering is under stress anyway. so, if you take an industry or a company that's under stress and you double its wages, not sustainable. how does one operate? steve: good question. target put out a statement. they deny cutting hours to offset the wage hike they say, quote, it's simply not true that we're cutting team members' hours to offset target wage increases. with such a large team, individual team member schedules can variety for a

number of reasons. we sit down with every team member to understand their scheduling needs and availability. >> wonderfully written by their p.r. department. steve: so you don't believe it? >> of course not. of course not. they have 300 some odd thousand employees. if they acknowledge that they are losing wages, losing healthcare, there are people at target, if we want -- i don't want to target target, if you will. but it is throughout. it's a good -- it's a good tip of the spear for the entire retail space. but when you go below 30 hours a week in cutbacks you also lose your healthcare benefits. so it's not only loss of pay, it's loss of incredibly important thing today which is called healthcare. steve: what about in your business? why don't do you that? >> i wish i was at target's rates. we were at $15 eight months ago. we started in new york city. steve: right. >> for the first time. steve: how did that work out. >> we have closed about 15% of our portfolio.

closed. steve: because of that. >> exactly because of that. and i can tell you all over the city. in fact, for the first time, i do believe, the restaurant space. i don't want to limit it to the restaurant space. we have -- we are retailers. we happen to sell food. but we also are retailers. and the retail space, drive up and down, we are on sixth avenue. drive up and down and see all the for rent signs on the stores. drive up and down madison avenue. yes, rents are increasing. but, when you marry that with the labor, that's being legislated to increase. rent increasing because landlords think they can get it. steve: sure. >> we get minimum wage increases because the government ledges lat legislate. you cannot legislate an economy. that's called socialism which i think is a mask for as hard as it is it is of communism. managed economies are not free, democratic societies. pure and simple. steve: we appreciate you

zane tankel to talk about your industry and how it is affecting you. >> we are 1,000 less people today than we were at this time last year in terms of employees. steve: that's rough. sorry to hear that. >> we are navigating it. you've got to live it. steve: you do, indeed. all right, thank you very much, zane. >> thank you. steve: first they tried boulders now san francisco has another situation for its homeless crisis. a plywood wall. that one right there. not kidding. right back. like yard-sale savers. tee-time savers. and especially med d savers. select a medicare part d plan with walgreens as your preferred pharmacy and get co-pays for as low as zero dollars and 100 rewards points on prescriptions. isn't saving great? save smartly on med d. walgreens. trusted since 1901.

brian: we told you how fed up san francisco locals are now using boulders to block the numbers of homeless crowding their streets. ainsley: now there is another neighbor guy or girl, we don't know, anonymous, taking it a step

further, putting up a plywood wall to block an alley from being used as hot spots for drug dealers and homeless individuals and despite permission from the public works department, it was taken down. brian: richie greenberg san francisco resident. former candidate for mayor. he lost and now it looks like all of san francisco is losing. richy, how outrageous is this? how did it get so bad? >> good morning, ainsley and brian. nice to be here. it got to be here. it's taken a few years. but slowly little by little, as the government here became more and more leftist, more liberal, more socialistist evensocialist evenf supervisors, our mayor. it's a tray strategy now. point now crisis because of the liberal policies. this is san francisco. this is not anything new. this is classic san francisco well the downtrodden are celebrated and coddled. so, you know, little by little we see the widdling

away of law enforcement and the norm now is having the homeless, the drug addicts and mentally ill roaming the streets. ainsley: it's so interesting the thought process of some of these individuals. we have had people that have come on our show that have businesses there. they say people are defecating on the streets right in front of their business. they are sleeping basically on their front porches. people can't get into the business to get whatever services they need because of these homeless people. yet they felt like the city was protecting the homeless people and not the business owners. how did we get to this place. >> 100 percent right. that's right. that's exactly what is happening. now, part of it is because of the large number of nonprofits that are based here in the city that their job is to help the homeless and the mentally ill with their outreach services and they are getting an enormous amount of money. hundreds of millions collectively. i believe and many of us believe here that they are enabling these nonprofits

and government leaders are actually enabling homeless to move here, actually, and so how could it be that year after year, even with throwing hundreds of millions of dollars into the budget that the population of homelessness is going up and that's clearly because others are moving. you had homeless and mentally ill moving from other states, other cities to take advantage of the liberal policies here. brian: and richie, we are out of time. but, now good citizens like you are leaving san francisco because they can't take it anymore. and when you have the mayor of san francisco become the governor, what -- the voters are saying what we want more of this. it looks like california is doomed. thanks for joining us this morning. ainsley: on that note -- brian: it is so frustrating. it's a great state. >> it certainly is. it really is that's exactly right. it's a tragedy. ainsley: most of us have visited san francisco. it's so gorgeous. i hate to see that happening. napa valley and all that

area. >> it really is. ainsley: we have got to go. thank you. brian: i wish you would have won. president obama just made an endorsement. here is a hint. it wasn't joe biden ♪ you can't always get nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day all-night protection. can you imagine 24-hours without heartburn? can match the power of energizer. because energizer ultimate lithium is the longest lasting aa battery in the world.

ainsley: straight to a fox news alert. sad and stunning news out of washington, d.c. early it this morning. maryland congressman, house oversight committee chairman, elijah cummings has died. steve: he died to health complications which we're uncertain at this point. brian: griff jenkins is outside of cummings office in baltimore as tributes begin to poor in for the 68-year-old. reporter: good morning, guys, cold, windy, sad day outside of cummings district office. of course the chairman of the powerful oversight committee. we're getting that news this morning. he served for 23 years here. we're getting a statement now

coming from his wife, dr. maya moore, chairwoman of the maryland democratic party. she says, he work until his last breath because he believed our democracy was the highest and best expression of our collective humanity and our nation's diversity was our promise, not our problem. it had been an honor to walk by his side on this incredible journey. i loved him deeply and will miss him dearly. another person that will miss him dearly is hakin. he is firefighter with baltimore city, is that correct, sir. >> that's correct, baltimore city fire department. reporter: out here with a sign. did you know the congressman? >> yes i did. he represented my district as well for as long as i can remember. reporter: why are you out here today? >> i'm here today i thought it is critical for us to recognize his legacy and work he has done over the years. he was the dr. king for us, for, as long as i can remember.

i believe his message, certainly has given many of us inspiration and hope, for transformation and growth. healing as well in our country after freddy gray as well. reporter: thank you very much. tweets are flying. a lot of condolences for the congressman. he will be dearly missed, guys. steve: thank you, griff. i got a text from somebody that works in mark meadows office. apparently mr. cummings office next door to him. the fellow that usually drives him to baltimore, said as of yesterday he would be fine. this is shocking news that overnight he would pass. brian: two surgeries both resulted in infections. they seemed like surgeries that were not supposed to be life-threatening. we'll have to see when all the questions get answered. ainsley: he was young, 68 years old. did a lot for that community. he will be missed.

steve: will be indeed. talk a little bit about this. there was a meeting at the white house yesterday. the president called in congressional leaders to talk about what we're going to do over there in the middle east. and the end of the meeting turns out the president is started sending out tweet because things didn't go exactly as planned. in fact a couple prominent members including nancy pelosi who is right there, wound up getting up and leaving along with chuck schumer and steny hoyer. ainsley: stood up and pointed her finger at him. nervous nancy's meltdown. she wasn't happy. she put the same picture on her stage. standing with chuck schumer and steny hoyer. this is what they had to say. >> what we witnessed on the part of the president a meltdown. sad to say. >> he was insulting, particularly to the speaker. she kept her cool completely. but he called her a third-rate

politician. this was not a dialogue. is it was a diatribe. nasty diatribe not focused on the facts. brian: believe it or not, you would think arguing about impeachment. they really didn't get to that. they got to syria. the president's pullout. there will be condemnation of the pullout and condemnation of turkey. it will be same thing. the senate mostly bipartisan. presidents make decisions all the time unpopular. tell that to george bush. a lot of republicans were against a lot of things when it came to war. way things worked out. not a lot of democrats bucked president obama on anything. maybe she should have. the fact this leadership, this current cadre, has to leave and storm out and run to microphones all the time is embarrass embarrassing. the world is watching this child-like behavior. steve: nancy pelosi mentioned the house vote.

started to read a quote from former defense secretary mattis, cut him off, the world's most overrated general, not tough enough. nancy pelosi said reportedly. russia always wanted a foothold in the middle east. all roads from you leads to putin. that is what started it. i hate isis more than you. you don't know. he complained about barack obama's red line over syria. added in my opinion you're a third grade politician. steny hoyer said this is not useful. they left. ainsley: democrats are saying oh, good for her. posting this picture. shows strength, standing up to what they call a bully. then you have conservatives see this, they went into this meeting knowing they were going to get up make a big hoop, walk outside, get in front of the microphone have a press conference. same thing, over and over. nothing ever gets done. kevin mccarthy as soon as they

left, they had a meeting as normal. brian: they have a disagreement. go back in time. nancy pelosi pushed back on george bush for the surge. i believe that worked. when you see barack obama did to the enforce the red line. did not say a word when it came to to the uproar in syria. we're not taking any action. over 500,000 people died, millions left that country. russia came in during barack obama's term, two terms, not during president trump's two terms. so vladmir putin saw an opening because our lack of action prior. where was speaker pelosi's courage then? steve: she felt she had the wind at her back because the house voted 350-60 to oppose the president's troop withdrawal from that country. she felt like she had the majority of the house on her side. and that's what happened. brian: did mitch mcconnell agree with president obama all the time? i don't think so. i think they, a lot of times they argued.

i never remember him storming out of a meeting. did paul ryan agree with president obama? john boehner? they worked it out. they came out with press conferences. this storming out, leaving early, not a luxury, towns, counties, or businesses can afford. ainsley: only happens in washington does this happen. brian: unbelievable. steve: i believe the president of the united states stormed out of the last meeting they had together. ainsley: they're praying for each other. brian: they all pray. ainsley: she said she is playing for his health now. he is praying for her health. brian: i guarranty. nobody is praying for each other. i pray i'm right on that. steve: let's see. ainsley: i do you're just talking about them. brian: can you pray i'm right on that? steve: meanwhile, move on to the next story, 36 hours ago the democrats had the big debate. joe biden for a while was not seeing much on stage. yesterday, he was asked a little bit about elizabeth warren

getting grilled during the proceedings. this is what he had to say from columbus. >> it is kind of about time other people get questioned and you know, i don't think, i haven't seen any polling showing nationally on average anybody else is front-runner. you guys key talking about that. elizabeth warren has done very well. she moved. but now that she has moved, taken more seriously, people are going to ask her about you know, a little candor here. tell us how you're going to do what you say you're going to do. brian: she has a plan for everything. right now she has a lot of money. over $20 million. bernie sanders $33.7 million. warren as $25 million. joe biden can't say that. ainsley: i wonder if bernie sanders got more money, the three congressional women, they call them "the squad," they announced they will endorse him? steve: plus the fact going forward, we saw him live on the

debate stage 36 hours ago and he looked great. there was story that he had the heart attack. he looked great. ainsley: we asked dr. oz is he okay? should his family be worried? he is fine. had the surgery. everything is fine with the right care and medicine. brian: we only ask tv doctors questions. >> he is a medical doctor. brian: he is great. joe biden has under $9 million in the campaign. he has been first or second in almost every poll. he was asked about that. >> we got started later than anybody at all in this campaign number one. number two, we did not start off by dropping $10 million from a senate campaign wherever that money was raised from into a race. number three, we have been in the process of having about a third of the time, many people have had. we're doing fine. brian: number three was very much like number one.

syndicated talk show host dana loesch from texas. when it is a mandatory program, what does that say to you? >> yeah, good morning. it means you don't have the freedom, you don't have the choice. it means, a buyback, first off, i would also if i were him have the problem with the term buyback because that signifies purchasing back something you don't own in the first place. i will add, castro is a hypocrite on this, here's why. he supports red flag laws. how do you think red flags laws are enforced? when you look at the 17 states so far passed red flag laws, state by state, very few states actually offered a vans warning. usually lowest standard of evidence, ex parte process. no advanced warning. when you support red flag laws. this is the process you are supporting. he supports red flag laws. he is supporting this process still. brian: what about julian castro. he says we have to worry about police violence. we know about the tragic events,

took place over the last two weeks, but is that a national epidemic? >> i don't know if i would go so far it's a national epidemic but i do think there there is a problem, particularly in the area in which this tragedy happened in fort worth because this department in this area, they have seen several police shootings. they have seen, where police have been shot. but also, what speaks to this, i'm looking at, i was watching a video of all of this transpiring, i was really wondering about the training this particular officer received. i was shocked to see that a woman who was lawfully carrying in her own home was a victim of an officer shooting. i want to add that these are still by and large, when you look at at the statistics of officer shootings and officers who are shot, there is, i mean there out of proportion there. thankfully this is not an everyday occurrence.

however it is troubling. i worry as a law-abiding gun owner when i watch the video when i saw what transpired. i worry about law enforcement officers out there who undergo tripping, who do everything they're required to do and more. they love their community. they care about the community. no one dislikes incidents like these and bad choices by cops more than good cops who make good choices and serve their community every day. i want to be clear there i thought interim chief made a really good point. i don't want this one officer to judge the 1700 that we have here. we have to talk about training. we have to talk about it is right for people if they suspect a prowler outside of your house, i tell you if i suspect a prowler outside your house, i have a million alarm systems. what i will do when i check that noise? i will exercise my second amendment right to do so. we have castle doctrine.

deal makes sure we take control of our borders, money and trade, and a deal with the eu based on friendly cooperation, take back control. the difference between this deal and the theresa may deal that they couldn't pass through parliament, boris johnson's deal allows the uk to negotiate their own free trade deals. this major deal with the u.s. is a major selling point. this hardest part is yet to come. the deal has to pass through the british parliament. a vote scheduled for this saturday. right now boris johnson does not seem to have the numbers. he has to negotiate with the dup. he has two days. we'll see if it passes. brian: he has to get this done. the whole country ground to a halt. ainsley: thanks, benjamin. steve: bill bennett, former education secretary under president reagan, host of the wise guys on position nation.

third of november. we vote an option. tonight, together we finish our -- i already explained the to head of states. and governments. and of course it is for both our parliament to have the final say. it is not only westminster having to approve the deal. the deal being it is also up to the european parliament to do the same. so thank you, boris, for, i have to say, excellent relations we had throughout the last two weeks. >> thank you. thank you very much. thank you, jean-claude. can i pay particular tribute to you, jean-claude, also to michelle bonier all your team, michelle, the negotiating team in the commission and i do think this deal represent a very good deal both for the eu and for the

uk and it is a reasonable, fair, outcome and reflects the large amount of work that has been undertaken by both sides. and i agree very much, jean-claude, what you said about protecting the peace process in the island of ireland and in northern ireland and of course for us in the uk, it means that we can deliver a real brexit that achieves our objectives. it means that the uk leaves, whole and entire on october the 31st. and it means that northern ireland and every other part of the uk can take part, not just in free trade deals, offering our tariffs, exporting our goods around the world but it also means that we can take, together, as a single, united kingdom, decisions about our future, about our laws, our

borders, our money and how we want to run the u.k. those decisions will be taken in the uk by elected representatives of the people of the uk. and i hope very much now, speaking of elected representatives, that my fellow mps in westminster do now come together to get brexit done, to get this excellent deal over the line and to deliver brexit without anymore delay. so that we can focus on the priorities of the british people, improving our health service. investing in 20,000 more police, lifting up living wage and many, many other things. jean-claude i i want to conclude by agreeing wholeheartedly with your final point. now is the moment for us to get brexit done. then together to work on building our future partnership, which i think can be incredible

positive, both for the uk and for the eu and i just remind you what i always say, that we are a quintessential european country, solid european friends, neighbors, and supporters and we look forward to working with you in building that partnership in the weeks and months to come. thank you all very much.
