stairiest attraction in niagara falls. the building wasn't -- it's haunted by its former owner. the first one in that picture the girls was hilarious. carley: i'm scared from my seat right here. oh boy. "fox & friends" right now. ♪ ♪ ♪ we're not going to take it ♪ no, we ain't going to take it ♪ we're not going to take it anymore ♪ brian: you can't keep those doors closed if we're coming. come in. ed: start the show with twisted sister. ainsley: it's a perfect song for what happened yesterday. you had all of these republicans, they stormed the impeachment inquiry, the behind the closed doors, when the democrats were questioning laura cooper. brian: all week in the last three weeks sings the impeachment hearings started. closed door hearings come

out. they come out and little drips and drabs of what is happening behind closed doors. all theist leaks seem to always go towards the impeachment narrative what the president did wrong. what john ratcliffe was saying yesterday is. you don't get any of our questions when we cross-examine and everything just stays sealed. and it's got to stop. ed: yeah, in fact, "the washington post" has some breaking news this morning suggesting that democrats fear they're losing the narrative because it's behind closed doors. so they pushed it behind closed doors. the president pushed back by saying there's a lack of transparency. you are doing impeachment in secret, basically, republican leaders like steve scalise saying yesterday this is a soviet style process and they are fed up and not going to take it anymore. watch. >> if you remember, the mueller investigation was their idea 22 months, 2800 subpoenas. there was every kind of investigation you can imagine. and it yielded absolutely nothing. so what do they do? they don't give up. they go on and looking for

something else. this is a witch-hunt. they are meandering around trying to find something. the only way they can do it not through a fair process where both sides get to call witnesses, which has always been the case in impeachment. they don't even let the president have legal counsel and using this as the basis to impeach the president of the united states behind closed doors. people get that not only is it not fairness. we have an election next year. let the people of this country decide. not adam schiff. brian: to add to that, they stayed and then they ordered pizza. and they ordered pizza. adam schiff divided to wait the republicans out. he knew there was a mid afternoon vote. and the republicans left to do the vote around 3:15. laura cooper spoke. evidently there is some things that that were divergent from what bill taylor said the day before who is the acting ambassador. ainsley: when they were in there, one of the guys congressman alex mooney, a republican from west virginia, he took cell

phone, some sort of device i assume, he released the audio into the room. you are not allowed to do that. it's a scif room. a secure room. they have had to sweep the room. that took two hours. they had to scrub the room. ed: republican jim jordan says it's about time that republican lawmakers got in there and are able to tell the american people what's really going on. and he also wants to note identity of the whistleblower, watch. >> here's the fundamental question. one person who started this whole thing the whistleblower. the whistleblower's complaint bullet point number one he says over the past four months more than half a dozen u.s. officials gave meet basis for this complaint. to date, we don't know who any of those people are, and only one member of counseling,adam schiff knows hot whistleblower is and who those more than half a dozen who formed the basis of his complaints. our members finally said enough. we are so frustrated they reached a boiling point. these guys marched in and said we want to know what's going on because we represent three quarters of a million people back home

in our district and they would like to know what's going on. you are trying to take out a president 13 months before an election. brian: i know exactly how we get guest book on our show. we have executive producer and chip in ideas and figure out roughly who is going to make the cut. adam schiff and this whistleblower are booking every single one these guests. who is laura cooper. why is bill taylor the perfect one. the president says i haven't even met them. why are they coming out here? it's as if this whole thing is scripted. that's what get these lawmakers and maybe most of you out there upset in that we don't even know who he or she is that launched the entire thing but we know they have a political agenda and we know they support democratic candidates. ed: that's what "the washington post" reported this morning democrats fear they're losing the narrative. the democrats themselves put this behind closed doors. that's enabling republican tolls say wait, you are cherry picking bad information about the president and so this poster board is saying democrats by

want to take hearings public. brian: mid november. ed: that suggests the democrats are falling behind. andy biggs republican chair of the frawctio freedom caucus s coming up to talk to us about it. ainsley: when of it needs to be a fair process and that's what these republicans are saying. brian: kind of interesting to see how the democrats and the media, who are the same thing it turns out in many respects, how they covered the g.o.p. lawmakers who wanted to get the doors open and get a message to adam schiff. they wouldn't too tolerant, somewhat a mockery. >> chaos at the capitol. >> chaos in the capitol. >> chaos at the capitol, rogue republicans crash the imreevment inquiry. >> house republicans tried grintd impeachment inquiry to a halt. >> it's a pathetic stunt. all of this is going to be forgotten.

>> our republican colleagues have freaked out. pathetic show on their part. >> like a mob. >> quite honestly looked like a mob scene. >> i guess when you are desperate, you go back to complaining about the process. brian: the other thing that's important to point out the "new york times" reported this morning, the republicans said there's no quid pro quo because the leader of the ukraine never even knew the aid was being held up. the "new york times" reported this morning that the aid freeze had gotten to high level ukrainian officials by the first week in august. and when early reports said in september is when zelensky asked our vice president in poland hey, what's with the $391 million. ed: so they knew about it. brian: they knew about it in september. "new york times" saying according to unnames sources that the ukrainian officials knew earlier. ainsley: really. the president was saying in that interview with sean hannity the other night that he wants republicans to be stronger. when you look at that video of the republicans storming in to the scif room. i think it sends a message to the president that we're behind you.

ed: you are right to frame it that way. of the president was pushing republicans to get tougher on all of this. also interesting the "new york times" has a story quoting democrat jerry connolly of west virginia that this is pay back to the president from the deep state because of the attacks he had on the intelligence community. that's pretty interesting for democrats to be outfront saying this is payback which is what the president was saying political pay back. ainsley: look how peaceful they are. walking down very slowly. if you listen to the media. they are like stormed. it's crazy. they stormed in. he had. brian: i expected to see something like hong kong. right to this video it's going to be outrageous. ainsley: i did too. ed: silence. ainsley: they are frustrated with this process what the democrats are doing. brian: i wasn't frustrated speaking with kimberley strassel at the book review on friday. she has a book out and talking about whole deep state thing and pursuit of impeaching the president. we have some video of what she said last night. >> i honestly think they are fulfilling a campaign

promise, right? what else can it possibly be? because their progressive base demanding this all along. you had a lot of members who ran on this, and they pushed pelosi, and pushed pelosi and said you will have to do it or else the base is going to revolt. they are not going to show up to vote next year unless you go out and do this. the problem is the way in which they are doing it they are guaranteeing they won't get a conviction in the senate. because if you actually cared about doing it the right way you would be convincing people. giving republicans in the senate an even greater reason to vote against it. ainsley: did you all see what happened at 10:00 at at the perry world house on the penn campus the students were protesting because there was an immigration event happening. tom homan was scheduled to speak with some others on stage. and the protesters were so loud -- listen. when tom was on stage, they are saying go home, tom. that he couldn't even speak. had to cancel the event. brian: they weren't saying tom they were using last name homan.

ed: under homan ice continued to be a violent organization responsible for terrorizing immigrant community. varietying homan as a guest speaker contradict's penn's claim of being a sanctuary campus. i also thought university of pennsylvania, a lot of these other colleges was supposed to be a place for free thought. maybe they disagree with tom homan, fine, it's a free country. bring him in and listen to him and debate him and push back. instead they don't want him to speak. brian: this is impairment to ivy league education. you are supposed to be able to listen, surround an issue, come up with your own opinion. what are they learning from this panel? there was also the philadelphia city slither couldn't speak. the ice public advocate adam lorenz was there as soon as they walked on stage. the chanting happened so all three left. tom homan leaned over and started laughing why did i drive here. drives all the way to the university of pennsylvania. scream the whole time. he goes back? what's his point of view? what is it like at the border? what's their point of view?

what does a 19-year-old know about what's goes on at the border? one of the things they chanted on we are all welcome on stolen land. going back to columbus and the jamestown settlements and saying we don't belong here? why don't they go home. ed: tom homan a fox news contributor. i want to correct you he said he drove there. i heard on "fox & friends first" he was taking the train. i don't know what mode of transportation. ainsley: i heard he was flying private. ed: he got there and he was on fox this morning and he is fired up. watch. >> they should have done the research on me. i won't be bullied. i got on the train and came to the campus and walked in the building and-to-give a presentation with two other presenters. the podium to open up the event the protest started. tom homan spent his career enforcing laws in this country. 34 years under six presidents. nothing changed. it's really sad because the institution 6 higher learning half the audience wasn't there to learn. the sad part half the audience i was watching

reaction on their faces they are as disgusted as i was. they are there to ask pointed questions. ed: he took the train as he said. brian: ed, were you listening? ainsley: he drove to the train station and once he landed close to the university he took a little flight. brian: i thought i was with professionals. [laughter] ed: train. brian: i will say this. joel just reminded us we brought our show there in pennsylvania, i think to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. we were being protested while we were trying to do "fox & friends." i mean like tom homan should have reviewed our old tapes and realize what he was up against. i thought it was interesting half the audience was disappointed they have a debate. ainsley: he is so good at debating. people took off work, got babysitters and what not to hear him. ed: just to take a train. carley: he said he was laughing too because someone was holding abolish ice sign

and they spelled abolish wrong. carley: we have to get right to a fox news alert. police raiding two homes in northern ireland after 39 bodies were found in the back of a semi-truck. investigators believe three dozen migranting froze to death in the refrigerated trailer in a human smuggling operation. surveillance camera capturing the truck driving in england minutes before the bodies were found. the truck entered britain from belgium on ferry. the driver is under arrest. two people under arrest after a california sheriff's deputy is killed in an ambush attack. deputy ryan ishmael gunned down responding to a theft at a marijuana farm. >> we lost one of our heroes. he was personable. easy to talk to. kind, and always positive. carley: first responders saluting deputy ishmael as his body passes by. the four year veteran of the force leaves behind wife and three children.

[applause] brian: so the corporate tax

rate that allowed us to compete with the rest of the world, joe biden blasting president trump's economy accusing him of squandering the growth he inherited from the obama administration? that's a unique take. here to react is white house director of the office of trade and manufacturing policy peter navarro, peter, your witness. you heard what the man said. >> joe biden in scranton he lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs on his watch. president trump created 500,000 manufacturing jobs. 6 million jobs overall. we are at 3.5% unemployment rate. the lowest since a man walked on the moon. $66,000 now for average median household income up 8% during the biden years and bush flat lined. this economy is humming. it's because of tax cuts, deregulation, cheap energy, and trade reform. that was the president's promise. he has delivered on that. joe in scranton, people of pennsylvania, it was hard times under joe.

brian: corporate tax rate reduction. does that mean for the rich? >> no. absolutely not. what's really important about lowering corporate taxes is we had to match the low corporate taxes around the world. about to put $9 billion more. steel industry, new corps, u.s. deal. the money is coming here. it's because of tax cuts, deregulation, cheap energy and trade reform. brian, this is a beautiful trump economy that we inherited a mess from obama and biden. brian: usmca passed was signed and agreed upon about a year ago yesterday. it still has not passed the house and senate. we can't even get a vote. here's the president. >> we have to get. smca done if they don't want to put it up for the vote. the do nothing democrats, they will pass it, but it has to be put up by nancy pelosi. it's already to go. it's approved by mexico. it's approved by canada.

it's approved by everybody that has to be approved. we have to give it a vote. it's been sitting for a long time. a lot of money wasted. a lot of jobs wasted. it's going to have a tremendous impact. brian: robert lighthizer leading the talk has respect on both sides of the aisle. the word is, you put it for a vote, it will pass. what are the chances? >> if you put it for a vote, it will pass. problem, brian, we are running out of calendar days in the house of representatives. they have squandered this country's future on a circus, rather than on good policy. and so, it's going to be on nancy pelosi' legacy and grave stone that she did not put that to a vote. and if that happens, america will not be benefited. brian: it's not republicans that benefit. it's called the american people benefit. the people that work hard every day. the dairy farmers you mentioned. auto manufacturers, things start evening out for americans. >> yeah. this is politics in the swamp. this is for the good of the people. usmca is right up here. brian, this deal is so

important. it's twice the volume of what we do with china. five times the exports. it's constructed to make sure that north america and the u.s. is a manufacturing policy -- power house for the 21st century. brian: where are we more concern with canada mexico or china? we all know that question. this would help level the playing field like it hasn't been since 1980. >> jobs and factories home. that's what usmca. >> this great man in new york, being away from the swamp for a day. i don't know what they are thinking on capitol hill no. infrastructure. no usmca. no drug price no. nothing up there just circus. brian: two things hopeful on usmca he is hopeful. >> 3,000 generic drug approvals. >> it saved us $26 billion for the people of america. that's trump progress. brian: should be able to get better. more "fox & friends" in just

state turns against him and in the story democratic congressman jerry connolly says with all the denigration disparagement and diminishment i think you are seeing some payback here, not by design but by opportunity. he said. testifying about against and they're doing so. brian, this seems to be something the president has been talking about. that people at the cia, other intelligence agencies should not be political and yet you have a democrat on the record saying this is payback. >> this isn't new, sadly. 30 years ago there is a guy at the cia who said i know what's best for the american people for foreign policy and national security and i'm going to act on it. that man was james. he was cia officer but also a traitor for the russians. this kind of thinking is pervasive in d.c. basically look i understand the american people think they control this country but in fact we do. so we have seen this in the most egregious sense of

people like alder james when we hear an actual representative saying yes, that in fact is happening. good for them. good for the deep state. you know, nancy pelosi had said a couple weeks ago that all roads from trump's world lead to russia. this is hysterical thinking combined with this bureaucratic swamp like thinking that they know best. really, look at the implications of that. think about the implication for a second. the american republic isn't real. our democracy is a facade. everybody who is watching this program their vote doesn't matter. that's the implication that's horrifying. ed: that is a scary thought indeed. is there something bigger even than that go back to 2017. look at what democratic senator chuck schumer warped the president about when the president was going after the cia and other agencies. watch this. >> you take on the intelligence community. they have six ways from sunday at getting back at you. so, even for a practical supposedly hard-nosed

businessman he is being really dumb to do this. ed: the president was still president-elect. early january 2017, and the democratic leader was saying that the intel community, deep state as the president might call it, can get you back six ways to sunday. is that what is happening now? >> i think there is something to that i which i chuck schumer is acknowledging it. that's frightening. are we paying attention to how bad this is? i mean, my god, think about this. in the next two or more years when a democrat gets into the white house, whatever year that might be, do you not think that the conservatives or the republican spies might strike back? what kind of game are we playing? this is incredibly dangerous. president trump and democrats have to understand together that this is a serious prop. gina haspel of the cia has to get on top of it. we cannot play games with the intelligence community and that's precisely what's happening now. if we don't we are in big, big trouble. we become like a pakistan or egypt where we have these

secret individuals behind the scenes unelected and unknowable. that's not what we are. we shouldn't be. ed: dangerous games. some strong words today from bryan dean wright a democrat and former cia officer. we appreciate you coming. >> in pleasure. ed: another major city just ruled it is ending cooperation with ice. why douse this keep happening? plus, the washington nationals take a two game to zero lead in the world series. not all the action was on the diamond. jillian was there and got a behind the scenes look. we will check in with her coming up. good morning. ♪ ♪ but with less carbon footprint. can we have both? at bp, we're working every day to make energy that's cleaner and better. and we see possibilities everywhere. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. even a- (ernie) lost rubber duckie?

ed: griff all over this story. good morning to you. griff: i will claim victory that i'm much tougher. i digress. you have to be tough to survive what happened in washington yesterday. first we start with some news about the whistleblower. let's consider what we already knew. we knew the whistleblower was a red-shirt democrat. we knew he or she had a prior work history is w. a senior democrat. now sources familiar with the icig investigation tell fox news a third additional element, of possible bias has been identified. its nature remains unclear. the whistleblower has been complaint was not politically motivated. but the ranking g.o.p. members of the three investigating committees want to hear from him or her writing this to adam schiff. quote: we asked that you arrange for the committees to receive public testimony from the employee and all individuals he or she relied upon in formulating the complaint meanwhile it was chaos ensuing. pentagon official laura cooper g.o.p. members scif

book. thanks, griff. ainsley: let's bring in congressman andy biggs from the great state of arizona, republican, member of house judiciary committee and chairman and house freedom caucus. good morning to you. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning. tell us what happened yesterday. why did y'all decide to crash the impeachment hearings? >> what we felt was so important is to elevate the conversation for the american people to understand that everything that's happening here is process driven. there is no substance to their allegations. so the process is corrupt. it's behind closed doors. it's a soviet-style. they have already predetermined they are going to seek impeachment and work on articles of impeachment. and but they are not letting us in. as members of congress, they are not letting the american people see what's happening. they are not letting transcripts be are a available. so it's basically salute closed doors with a predetermined outcome. we felt we just had to get in there so we could see it. and we went in very orderly, very calmly, and basically sat there and as soon as we

got there, mr. schiff and the witness left. ed: a moment ago you claimed there is no substance to the allegations. i thought this started with a whistleblower and we can debate back and forth political motivations of the whistleblower or not. the whistleblower suggested u.s. aid was held up to ukraine because the president wanted an investigation of corruption. there have been a whole bunch of witnesses and, yes, there is conflicting testimony. there are witnesses now suggesting that u.s. aid was held up for that reason. how can you say there is no substance to the allegations? >> i can say that pretty easily. don't forget the whistleblower said there was extortion and there was quid pro quo and the reality is, and i'm surprised that you know more about this than apparently i do. we don't have access to the transcripts. so, what you are getting is what is leaked by the democrats. that's what i'm getting is what is leaked by the democrats. so we need to be able to see what's going in there. i will tell you why there is no substance to it. when you start saying that aid was held up, then president zelensky didn't know that and the foreign minister of the ukraine they

both said we didn't know it either. we don't know what the whistleblower knew, except that it was all hearsay. that's the one thing that everybody agrees to that everything they had was either secon second or third hearsay. brian: word had gotten to high level officials by the third week in august. that according to documents obtained by the "new york times." which i have not seen. the problem was not bureaucratic we're told that would change the narrative but we have not seen that play out. have you heard that? >> no. and that's part of the problem. this is select tia leaks. that's what this is. that's why i say this is a soviet style. because they are leaking this out, whatever they want to leak out. and we don't get to see it. and but what we have seen is public statements by the president of the ukraine, by the foreign minister saying there was no quid pro quo. we didn't know this. we were unaware of this. ainsley: we had judge napolitano on earlier. he said these are the rules. he said boehner was the one, republican boehner was the

one who led the rules changing years ago. and he said so they are complying with the rules. they are allowed to do. this you say it's corrupt. he says it's not. these are the rules. >> well, with all due respect to judge napolitano, he is in error. this is in conflict. they are not going by informal or excuse me formal impeachment inquiry. what they are going by is something under the deposition rules. the deposition rules itself and now we are really getting into the weeds here. the deposition rules themselves, they say members. they don't say limiting to members of the committee. so, what we have done in the judiciary, we have had these closed door depositions in the judiciary, but we allow members to come in. we allow all members to come in. they sit there and if they have questions, they can come to members and we will funnel them either through our attorneys or we are allowed to ask them ourselves depending on what we have voted on. and -- but we allow all members in. that's distinct. that's very different than what is happening in this particular hearing. ed: let's drill down on that

congressman. talking about the process and whether it's fair to the president or not. "new york post" op-ed today why the secrecy children's miracle network schiff? they say in this op-ed you have to wonder if schiff, he and/or speaker nancy pelosi are just determined to avoid any more complete debacles such as the testimony of former special counsel bob mueller. if the public can't see for itself that a given witness actually weakens the case for impeaching president trump, then it doesn't matter. democrats can still march out and tell the press the testimony was damning. republicans may say the worse. in a he said-she-said maximize any hit against the president. interesting, congressman, this morning that in addition to the "new york post" op-ed "the washington post" is reporting that schiff and other democrats may be racing to start public testimony by mid november because this behind the scenes lack of transparency is not working for them it really isn't working for them. i'm glad they brought the mueller hearing. that's the point i have been trying to make. as a former guy who has done a few trials in my life, i

can tell you it is imperative that issue, the jurors, the judge, the attorneys see the body language and watch the witness testify. that helps you understand the credibility of the witness and nobody is getting that there. they are going to say it's open and fair because you are going to get to see a transcript sooner or later. but we aren't getting to seat actual witness and the president certainly doesn't have counsel in there to confront the witness no one else is getting to bring witnesses in. it is imperative that they open this up. that's what i keep saying. if you want to see -- they claim they want justice. if you want to see justice and accountability, which is what they claim, then open it up to all of the world can see. let us see the witnesses. brian: we will have stephanie grisham on in a little while. senator lindsey graham hardly a critic when it comes to the president. what would make your job easier and urge them to take a page out of former president clinton's book.

they do not have a strategist since steve bannon left the office. would it make it easier on you if there was more coordination between the legal and the communication, especially after the struggles. chief of staff mulvaney had? >> well, absolutely. we want to make sure we are on the same page. but, i think part of the problem that you see is the democrats are struggling with substance. i mean, and i have kind of iterated some of this. you start with russian collusion and move to object destruction and then you have the whistleblower. the whistleblower blows up because is he undermined by the transcript that comes out. then it was quid pro quo. and that's -- that was blown up by the ukrainian president. and now hunter biden issue. that's what they are talking about now is whether there was some kind of extortion behavior and that's kind of blown up. and i think part of the problem in messaging is the substance of the democrats have is so emorphos and constantly shifting that you don't look like it like in a normal setting and also it's

closed. so if it was open and you could see what the real substance is, then you can message and say oh no this is why it's inaccurate. there is real disconnect going on between everyone involved, including the democrats because they don't have the substance that they -- that they claim they have. ainsley: president asked you to get tougher and he wanted you republicans to fight. i think that sent a clear message to him yesterday. thank you, congressman. >> thank you. brian: mark meadows reporting yesterday laura cooper some of her testimony diverged from what brian taylor said the day before. ed: handled ukraine at the defense department. brian: we don't know because we are not allowed to hear anything and they're not allowed to speak about it. ed: a lot more headlines this morning. good morning, carley. carley: breaking news on really disturbing story. 39 people found dead in the back of a semitruck were all from china. investigators believe the 31 men and 8 women froze to death in the refrigerated trailer in a human smuggling operation. the driver is under arrest and being questioned.

goal we seek to follow a commonly accepted set of journalist standards belief every party named in a story has a right to comment on contest criticism leveled against them. isn't this a basic tenet not just of journalism but of life. you want to hear all sides. you want to be narrow fair. >> absolutely. i would say we live in a cultural and legal system that prides itself on free speech and freedom of the press. and i mean like what they're currently going up against is saying, know we have our ideological grounds that we want to stand on, which is no ice and misunderstanding of ice. and then they basically say we don't even want the dialogue around ice to happen at all. that's kind of the problem with this, of course, as you can see is that, you know, they might have problems with ice, and they might want to have that dialogue. they don't even want our school newspaper, our very public, very com communal school newspaper to have any

opinion on. ainsley: did you see what happened to tom homan he was there to speak and cancelled the event because of all the protesters. >> yeah. for instance, the leadership institute campus reform also reports how tom homan, you know, a former director of ice, he was disbarred or he was not allowed to speak at a penn student speaking event that's a lot of experience and value to students. if you just shut things down just on name, then you are not going to get anywhere. certainly on a campus dialect like this. ed: how much responsibility do democratic lawmakers like congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, how much responsibility do they bear when they are out there saying let's abolish the agency all together? let's not have ice at all? >> these people are guilty of running this conversation that deals with some facts that might be debatable. sure. at the same time, they still -- they are still trying to have the conversation. and you know, it's interesting to watch these people try to dodge around this point. you know. they want ice because, you

know, they want to debate around what it means to have immigration reform and enforce our borders as a nation. at the same time they want to pretend it's this total it's a boogie man and that you can't do anything about it their method of squaring with that realizes itself in situations like this with people saying you can't contact ice at all. ice is totally off the table. ed: all right, christopher. >> yeah. lawmakers have a duty, i think, to maintain that dialogue and that's what makes, for instance on campus. ed: appreciate you come in. thanks, christopher. meanwhile the verdict is in. judge jude just mad judy just mr pick. there isn't even in the race yet. ♪ i got a new attitude. discomfort back there?

and more people on the outside to get them some interest and activity and get america to think okay, maybe we have got an opportunity here. yes, i do think mike bloomberg gets in because there is no harm in getting in. this field is already so incredibly fractured why not throw a couple of your bucks around. will hillary get in? i don't have an answer for that yet. she is waiting for the moment like that old west wing episode when it's -- ed o'neil getting out there and people are cheering his name and he is there to bring the party together. she desperately wants that kind of holier than now moment. ed: i don't see where the party really wants to bring her back. there used to be preponderance of folks on the democratic side who understood the need to elect a centrist candidate, she writes. someone who could build collisions and reach across the aisle. but in this campaign candidates are fighting to out-left each other with pie in the sky proposals for free money, free education, everybody gets $1,000, everybody gets free college tuition. everybody gets, everybody gets. but where does all this

getting come from? this from judge judy. it could have been written by president trump. that's his campaign trump. >> if judge judy got in the race she would be 17% in iowa today based on that message. brian: that's why this editorial is so important. i actually don't think it means they're bad candidates. what they are saying on the stage free healthcare for illegals. let's give prisoners the right to vote. let's expand the size of the supreme court. let's get rid of the electoral college and they all seem to agree on everything except maybe joe biden once in a while wakes up and says what country am i in? that's what it is. it's not who they are. it's what they're. what they stand for. >> this didn't start with these candidates. that's the part that judge judy has to understand. this starts with barack obama and entire education system that told people they were being oppressed or being put upon and they need more and deserve more and should get more and government should do for you as opposed to what government can't do to you. this is a long-time coming and manifesting here in all of this. but, listen, i'm an indiana

guy. you know. i live in the midwest. it's not that we're the ones who are like oh, we don't want this. we don't understand the bubble heads. the people who live in new york, d.c., los angeles, san francisco who think that these policies have value. clearly they don't because if they did, brian, well then people would be coalescing around these candidates, these democrats and we're already talking about hillary clinton and michael bloomberg getting. in whatever happened to michelle obama decides what the heck? brian: she is not left enough. barack obama is not left enough for this field. >> obamacare used to be the most radical left position there was and now obamacare is amy klobuchar talking about being a centrist american pragmatist according to the "l.a. times." it's madness how they move the goal post. ed: he is tony katz. hear him on the radio from indiana. brian: mark penn said 40% chance hillary gets in the race. so it's going up. ainsley: i can't imagine. i cannot imagine the democratic party letting her in. coming up. watch. this the video is insane. a mom pushing her 1-year-old

december dems have been doing everything behind closed doors and in secret. it is about time somebody made a bold stand, i guess a sit-in which is what they did and it was great and the point was well-taken, now i'm hearing the dems agreed in three weeks they will open these up to the public. i don't know why they don't do it starting now. seems like it is working. they know they're wrong. everything there are doing and it is for show. ainsley: what is the president's reaction? in the interview with sean hannity, i want republicans to be stronger, fight for me. this sends a clear message they're behind him. >> absolutely. this shows a full support for the president. he watts working yesterday. he traveled to pennsylvania to give a street. he is still working amongst all this craziness. he was happy and supportive of it as he should be. brian: president said never-trumpers, scum did he regret that? >> no, he shouldn't. people against him, working

policies create on the indian reservations which led to devastation, destruction, and despair. you know, some reservations are have unemployment rates as high as 85%. native americans that are employed, 29% are living below the poverty line. i learned very important lesson growing up in gallup, government handouts are never as powerful as a hand up. i believe tax cuts and economic freedom are what help working families lift them out of poverty, by contrast socialist policies that rely very heavily on higher taxes and government handouts only lead to devastation, destruction and despair. i can't understand why anyone would want to destroy the progress, the economic progress that we've made under president trump's economy especially since we're looking, as you know, ainsley, all-time unemployment lows of that we haven't seen in

50 years? so you know, very much believe that these socialist policies lead to devastation, destruction and despair. ainsley: sound like you're saying it down move our country forward, it actually takes us back? >> absolutely. we need to preserve the, president trump's tax cuts due in large part to the strength of our economy as well as the deregulation of business that we've seen under his administration. i believe these are the policies that are going to help working families continue to prosper, especially in new mexico, where i'm from, why i'm looking at running for the open u.s. senate seat in new mexico. ainsley: are you really? >> yes i am. again we do need to move things forward, not backward. we need to continue the progress of president trump's economy and not regress to the failed policies and empty promises of socialism. ainsley: people are asking how, how are these candidates, democratic far left candidates how will they pay for all of this? if you look at policies under

elizabeth warren, these are policies she either supported or her policies. "medicare for all," $32 trillion over 10 years. the "green new deal," 93 trillion. green manufacturing deal, two trillion. how in the world is she going to get money to cover all of that? >> well you know her proposals total up to $127 trillion and she's, you know, introduced a tax plan that would only cover 3 trillion of the 127 trillion over 10 years. so we know that taxes are going to be raised on all americans across the board. but again, these policies are going to destroy our economy. even worse, ainsley, i believe that this is going to empower the bureaucrats in d.c. and politicians like elizabeth warren to have more power and control over our lives. i think that is a very scary prospect. ainsley: when will you decide if you will run for senate? >> you know, we're having conversations with folks across the state. i run a statewide organization

of 28,000 supporters and they, by the grace of god helped us defeat some of the most radical abortion up to birth, infanticide legislation in the country. this is democrat legislature. i'm having conversations with folks across the state about that prospect. ainsley: let us know. wish you the best. >> thank you. ainsley: washington nationals take a two-game lead in the world series. not all of the action was on the diamond. jillian mele was there. she got a behind-the-scenes look. we'll check in with her. isn't that cool? she went behind the scenes. >> awesome. still needs to be good series. ainsley, are ed and brian getting along? ainsley: can you believe, right? >> intervention i need to take? ainsley: ed feels very comfortable. he is sparring with him on air. no, they're getting along fine. >> see you soon. cease-fire holding in syria. we'll let you know today, is the
