no word on the cause but probably because it's 100 degrees in saudi arabia and racing cars. jillian: that is still scary though. thanks for watching us on this monday. see you back here tomorrow same place same place. rob: "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ let's go ♪ ♪ let's go. steve: that's right. let's go. it is monday. it is the first monday of the new year of the new decade and we're here and ready for action, baby. ainsley: 2020 is going to be an awesome year. brian: i don't remember the last time i saw steve in pinstripes. this must be a big day. steve: i wore it last week. same suit. were you not looking at me. ainsley: must for for the yankees. brian: he doesn't have a number. steve: i saw general jack keane wearing one and i thought that looks sharp. i will wear mine.
3:01 am
first full week of the new year. we start this hour with a fox news alert. actions will be taken overnight soleimani's replacement. the general there, issuing that chilling warning and we are wondering what it's about. about. ainsley: it comes as the daughter threatens revenge for her daughter's death. brian: president trump levels new warnings to iraq and iran. make sense of that, rick. rick: good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. u.s. allies are calling for calm here in the middle east. we are hearing dramatic threats coming out of iran with one member of parliament saying the white house will be attacked in retaliation for the assassination of that general via u.s. drone strike late last week in bawrgd. that general mourned by massive crowds in tehran sunday. tens of thousands filling the streets for a funeral procession. the general's daughter told the crowd there will be pay back against u.s. trooches troo.
3:02 am
revolutionary guard commanders said america must be completely removed from the region. president trump refusing to back down started another battle in washington tweeting these media post also serve as notification to the u.s. congress that should iran strike any u.s. person or target, the united states will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner. such legal notice is not required but is given nevertheless. some democrats on the hill are accusing the president of acting like a dictator, including his potential 2020 opponent, joe biden. >> no president has the right to take the nation to war without the informed consent and authority coming from the united states congress. but he thinks -- he thinks he can do it by having formally told the world in a tweet tonight that this is what he's going to do. >> also yesterday, a stunning move by the iraqi parliament voting to expel all u.s. troops from the
3:03 am
country. the prime minister still needs to sign off on that, if he does, president trump has threatened massive sanctions against iraq in response. >> steve, ainsley, brian? brian: wow, a lot going on, rick, thanks so much. steve: rick, i have a question for you before you go. since they had a vote and kicked the united states out and the president came back and said you know what? we built a very expensive air base over there. unless they pay us back. how much did it cost us to build that base? any idea? i know it was in the billions. >> the president said billions. i know we have spent billions of dollars in iraq. the actual cost of that particular base, not clear. but, a lot of money has been spent and the president is threatening to try to get some of that money back if they kick the u.s. troops out. brian: thanks, rick. of course, everything that happens in iraq and with us, really, israel has got to take note. there are reports, too. that netanyahu said listener, i have got soleimani in our cross hairs to president obama and
3:04 am
president obama said don't do anything. it was this president who said i have had enough i'm not going to get our bases get rocketed and our people get targeted again. we see the guy, let's get the guy. and they took out the guy. another thing to keep in mind, too. when it comes to the iraqis, this is a very unpopular government that was doing so poorly with the iraqi people they were protesting in the streets really since october. 500 people died in protest against the government, and it was put in place and brokered by soleimani himful is. and for them to vote for us out is really not a surprise because most of those politicians in parliament were put there by those who -- by iranian influence. so it almost makes sense. ainsley: over the weekend new iranian general said actions will be taken. our president said there will be major target 52 sites. important to iran and iranian culture. people were criticizing the president for that saying you are going to destroy some cultural sites, that's
3:05 am
ridiculous. the president said they are allowed to kill our people? they are allowed to torture and maim our people. use rhoads and blow up our people and we're not allowed to blow up our cultural sites. it doesn't work that way. steve: turns out in the "the washington post" today. they say iran has 24 locations on the united nations list of cultural world heritage sites that you are talking about. and according to the 1954 convention, the hague conventions, what that does is it protects cultural property and bans the targeting of cultural sites with military action there there is a provision that allows for a waiver due to military necessary a necessity. we asked mike pompeo are you going to take out cultural sites? he said we are going to stay within the law. they have got lawyers working on all of that stuff. brian: a lot of people say this. well, the president of the
3:06 am
united states, knew everybody is back in session. senate impeachment trial whenever pelosi decides to give up the impeachment articles, is he, in fact, doing this, killing soleimani who has been on a terror list for about 10 years and the quds force longer than that, was he actually doing this to distract from impeachment? elizabeth warren thought about that and said yeah, i think. so. >> next week the president of the united states could be facing an impeachment trial in the senate. we know he's deeply upset about that. and i think people are reasonablably asking why this moment? why does he pick now to take this highly inflammatory, highly dangerous action? that moose us closer to war. steve: it was not just elizabeth warren who, by the way, who has fallen into fourth place in iowa behind buttigieg, bernie and biden but also buttigieg himself
3:07 am
he said yesterday that soleimani was a bad guy, had blood on his hands but the administration has failed to demonstrate why they had to do this operation right now. ainsley: it's so interesting that people are critical of the president's decisions of our intelligence community's decisions. our general's decisions. steve: they want detail. ainsley: they can't have it. everything can't be made public. we heard pompeo over the weekend saying everything that we have, the intelligence community has, he said i ran the cia at one point we can't release everything. we can't release all of our intelligence information. we will release as much as we can you just have to trust us basically. general tata says it makes us more safe. agreed with killing this general. this evil terrorist. he says it goes to show how ridiculous our divide is that they support soleimani over president's decision. it counters everything that i learned as a soldier. brian: keep in mind, if you are going to be critical of the president for not hitting iran after they killed -- took out our drone and not hitting iran after they rocketed the saudi oil
3:08 am
bases and not going after iran mining the gulf. you can't be critical of the president when he does take action. ainsley: they were trying to take out our embassy. brian: how could the president let our embassy get breached and not do anything. and he doing so and these people are going oh my god. steve: do you think he really trusts the democrats who are impeaching him right now? mike pompeo, who heard the criticism from democrats who essentially are saying that the president did this thing over there in iraq to, like the movie, wag the dog, mike pompeo, the secretary of state says this about that, watch. >> do you think, as misguided as it may be, that some of our enemies think that this president is more vulnerable because of the impeachment effort? >> the issue to as you should ak mr. soleimani. steve: not available for
3:09 am
comment. brian: busy over the last six months. time for us to stand up and do something. ainsley: if you are a parent and your child is serving overseas for our country and we just took out the guy that was going to kill our troops, your sons, your daughters, wouldn't you support the killing of this guy? this guy is a terrorist. he has blood on his hands. he was threatening, according to what we do know about this. he was threatening hundreds of sailors and airmen and diplomat's lives, people that are americans. steve: he was operating in plain sight. that's why they were so effective with taking him ouwith a drone. we will talk to kellyanne conway special advisor to the united states at 8:35 this morning. in the meantime regarding impeachment and the democrats saying that he did that to take our eye off of that, later today, josh hawley who is going to be with us in one hour, the junior senator from the great state of missouri said if nancy pelosi does not send those articles of impeachment over to the senate, he's going to introduce legislation to
3:10 am
dismiss the impeachment, period. lindsey graham, at the same time, has an ultimatum to nancy pelosi, she is not going to like it. here he is yesterday with maria on sunday morning futures. >> if she continues to refuse to send the articles as required by the constitution, i would work with senator mcconnell to change the rules of the senate, so we could start the trial without her, if nessments days not weeks. what she is doing is bad for the country. it's bad for the senate. it keeps us from getting on with the business of the american people. it denies the president his day in court. the founders never envisioned you would have a speaker do something like this. brian: senator schumer has hoped in the interim period to put pressure on mcconnell to flip four republicans to say we want a trial. we want witnes witnesses, we wat to drag this thing out. senator collins, murkowski. they vindicated i don't like the idea that mitch mcconnell has said i have
3:11 am
already made up my mind already. she has not neither has murkowski said i want a trial. the only thing that speaker pelosi can do is say i can control this narrative for a little while longer. i sense that even some democrats are getting a little uneasy and having trouble defending her because she was in such a rush to get this through. ainsley: lindsey graham wants to speed this up because he wants this to be over and done with nancy pelosi says she will vote to change the president's military action. steve: what's interesting is if she does not hand them over to the senate, you realize that when the state of the union rolls around on february the 5th, the president of the united states essentially would be in front of all of those senators who would be the jurors in impeachment and he would be presenting his case why he should continue to be president of the united states. he talk about his wins and stuff like that. if they mess that up on the democratic side. the republican could say
3:12 am
actually use the calendar to their benefit. forget about the fact that you have all these senators running for president who would be jurors. the president would actually be in the house of representatives making his case to the senators without nancy pelosi. ainsley: this is what people are going to be talking about at work today. brian: ricky gervais one of the biggest founders of hollywood, producer of the office. he came back again to rip hollywood. you want an example. in front of hollywood saying this about hollywood. >> apple rolled into the tv gang with a morning show. a superb drama. a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing made by a company that runs sweat shops in china. so, you say you won't the companies you work for unbelievable, apple, amazon, disney, if isis started a
3:13 am
streaming service, you would call your agent, wouldn't you. if you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? you are in no position to lecture the public about anything. you know nothing about the real world. so, if you win, right? come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your god. [bleep] steve: all right. so there you have got. brian: why do they invite him back? ainsley: he says he doesn't care. this is the fifth time that he has hosted it and it may be my last time that i ever do this. i don't care anymore. this is all humor. all jokes. he said we are awful going to die at some point and there is no sequel. brian: ainsley, th premise of his jokes are all true. steve: after he made the apple joke did i not see the nbc director pushing the button to get tim cook's reaction to that. made it very clear, hollywood, you are self-important. don't get political. you know what?
3:14 am
apparently not everybody heard him from their seats. when they got up there, they got political. all sorts of ways. >> we're not going to look back on this night in the history books. we will see a country on the brink of war for our kids and their kids. we have to get, beg, and plead for everyone we know to vote in 2020. >> we must all come together as one for the sake of something greater. perhaps our planet. >> make no mistake. the tragedy unfolding in australia is climate change based. we need to react based on science. >> women, 18 to 118, when it is time to vote, please do so in your own self-interest. we are the largest voting bodies in this country. let's make it look more like us. >> very bold move making tonight plant based and it really sends a powerful message. steve: message was they made the dinner at this
3:15 am
traditionally very bushy event plant based. ainsley: wild mushroomry mushrom risoto. menu changed push back from the beverly hilton but then they eventually agreed to it. brian: no other big stories in the country throughout the show. ainsley: the food was terrible. they all left hungry. steve: you have ricky gervais who is a very unp.c. guy reminding hollywood about p.c.ness. what do you think about his comments? do you abide by him and what the actor said? email friends@foxnews.com and also on facebook. brian: big ricky gervais fan joins us now. ainsley: it was a vegan meal. jillian: some can be more filling than you think. we do have serious news too

3:17 am
of all of this hate. >> i'm here to support the jewish people. >> as a human being, i think it's our obligation to come out and speak out when you see something wrong going on. i think this is wrong. >> state's top lawmakers joining the event with governor andrew cuomo promising $45 million to protect houses of worship. now to the nfl wild card weekend, the vikings shocked saints in a thrilling overtime win. >> cousin throws, pass is caught for the win. kyle rudolph and the vikings are moving on. >> minnesota beats new orleans 26-20. and then this game the injury riddled lose to the seahawks 17-9. everyone talking about this hit on quarterback car sen went. ending up leaving in the first quarter after what some call, he wasn't trying to hurt the qb but, i mean we talk. i think it was a dirty play.

brian: president trump threatening iraq for sanctions bill for billions. he is going to give it to them, dollars after his parliament voted in favor of expelling u.s. troops from the country. it's a nonbinding thing. senator marco rubio slamming the vote and tweeting alternative quote maybe it's time for fully independent kurdistan and what is currently northern iraq. this is a once in a generation idea. there is a moment in time that we should act. let's welcome back to the show muslim scholar ahmed who just came back from iraq, right? >> that's right. i was there three weeks ago. brian: you like this idea, why? >> it is a moment in history. i do belief this will be president trump's legacy defining his place in
3:24 am
history. the kurds 48 million people in the world. they share our values, religious pluralism. kurdistan and iraq is the only place where the christian population is growing in the middle east. and also, they have female representation in their parliament. they have our values. they have died for our interests. and they stand with us and defend our flag the way that we do. brian: if baghdad says you are out, this was a nonbinding resolution and forced to do it and some iranians put in place in the parliament and should not have been a surprise. they abstain from that vote and shown nothing but loyalty to us. >> to clarify the kurds abstained from that vote in the iraqi parliament because they have an american alliance. they see not only the united states but the republicans, president bush particularly because defeating saddam hussein meant that the kurds could actually stop facing genocide at their hands. their sploilts very deep to the united states. brian: we had a no-fly zone in that area. every time saddam made a move they would do it and
3:25 am
shot back at them. >> exactly. >> baghdad says you have to leave fine we go to where? >> marco rubio identified. long ago moved to irrelevant bill. that is where many of our military are already stationed. that is where we have kurdish reason five military bases being built. ground is broken. largest american consulate being built in irbil now. clearly the united states has plans already to invest in there we are not going to abandon our embassy we can, if we need, to remain in the region so far kurdistan is still officially iraq. but i believe the united states and president trump can realize a sovereign kurdistan in northern iraq. that will be iran's nightmare scenario. a divided iraq will weaken iran it. will leave iraq, federal iraq to the mercy of iran's
3:26 am
machinations. kurdistan could be a pro-u.s., pro-israel sunni ally. that's what we need. brian: even knowing reprisals could be coming almost expected. was getting rid of soleimani necessary. >> it was absolutely the best and boldest and bravest decision. soleimani was orchestrating terrorism globally not only regionally. for decades. and he was not there as a peace bearer even though that is what the claims are he was there not to see that that embassy attack would take hostage again. americans the way it did almost 40 years ago in the carter administration. and also, i believe, to seize power. political power in the iraqi parliament and totally subjugate iraq to iran. that was his ambition. brian: the thing is too, real quick. protests against iran's presence before we took out soleimani and they have been rocketing our bases for months. >> that's right. so there were protests in iran against the iranian government and in iraq while i was there. the protesters ordinary
3:27 am
iraqis stormed the iranian consulate. they are so disgusted with iranian interference with iraq. brian: demanding a changing government. they are getting it. the vote yesterday was just a place holder. thank you so much for putting perspective. you go there and come back and tell us what's happening. appreciate it? >> my pleasure. brian: fbi raiding the home of a couple tied to doomsday cult. search for children. their mom thought she was a god. former prosecutor takes us inside this investigation next. alexandria ocasio-cortez and joe biden are both democrats. she isn't happy about it. i will explain. ♪ don't do me like that ♪ don't do me like that ♪ if you live with diabetes, why fingerstick when you can scan?

3:32 am
in 2018 now for something totally different. steve: the fbi has raided the home of writer and her two missing children. ainsley: chad daybell and see his new wife lori. steve: his new wife. >> his ex-wife died three weeks before they got married. disappearance of her two children. 7-year-old joshua valu vallow ae ryan. >> the first ever coordinator for child exploitation prevention and train addiction francey hakes joins us today from atlanta. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: puzzling case because now the fbi apparently is looking at it because the kids are missing and he
3:33 am
married this other woman weeks after his first wife now mysteriously died, right? >> yeah, steve and ainsley. this is a really strange case. i fear for these children tylee and joshua. there is an awful lot of murder and mysterious death here. this cult is obvious of a concern. but i think what worries me more is the fact that vallow married daybell shortly after the last time anyone saw these two children. and the timing reminds me very much of case like casey anthony and susan smith where it appeared, anyway, that they were concerned about having new potential suiters ormates or husbands who didn't want the children they already had and they felt free to discard those children in horrific ways. i hope the children are okay but i fear for them. ainsley: what do you know about his wife that got married her ex-husband was shot dead by her brother?
3:34 am
>> yeah. ainsley. the story just gets weirder and weirder the more you dig. i understand the authorities have exhumed that woman's body to see whether or not it was foul play. she was a relatively young woman and apparently the cause of death was that she decide in her sleep which is not normal unless she had a really serious medical condition that i haven't heard anything about. so authorities will get to the bottom of that what i don't understand is why the local authorities questioned the mother vallow and apparently let her go without them telling her where her minor children are the state has the right to know where someone's minor children are if they suspect abuse or neglect. instead they let her go and she and her new husband have fled and we don't know where those children are. steve: right, the state in this case i believe it's up in idaho although we don't know exactly where they are. if the fbi did execute a search warrant and they went and they looked over the premises. clearly you have to present to a judge some sort of a
3:35 am
story about something bad that might have happened so maybe they know more than we do. >> i hope they do. what they would have had to tell a judge is something that rose to the level of probable cause to believe a federal crime took place. steve: right. ainsley: i think we lost francey. there was a call that was her ex-husband recounted and said that lori described herself as god assigned to carry out the work of 144,000 at christ second coming in july of 2020 and that if father charles, her ex-husband got in the way of her mission, she would murder him. steve: so the question is where are the kids and the feds are on the case. we will keep you posted. francey headaches, sorry hakes,t that transmission. ainsley: she had some interesting thoughts. steve: firefighters now on the ground of continent of australia as devastating fires rage there anna

3:43 am
incredible to think about. after this breaking heat record over the weekend we experienced the cooler temperatures that we have had today and the slight bit of rainfall is welcomed but it's not really enough. and also, even today, back burning strategic efforts from fire crews so that was not good either. it was really hindering that emergency service officials say what we really need here is 8 inches of rain. what we got today was about 1/20th of that. guys, there is no substantial rain fall forecasted in the near future. this is not good. steve: that is not good. it is so hot. anna, thank you very much. great report. really painted the picture. as she said, it could burn that fire for months. unbelievable. brian: do you know what struck me is the koala bears coming out of the woods and needing -- thirsty. see video of the koala bears drinking out of bottles from humans because they sore

ainsley: we have a fox news alert. soleimani's replacement warns actions will be taken as the general, the former general's own daughter threatens revenge in the death of her father. steve: president trump, over the weekend, promising a swift and massive response if iran follows through telling reporters, quote: they are allowed to kill our people and torture and maim our people. they are allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people and we're not allowed to touch their cultural sites? it doesn't work that way the president says. brian: former green beret commander michael waltz sits on the house armed services committee joins us now to react. congressman, i was struck by how many people, all the democrats who just have no faith that the president -- just make the president out to be a cowboy, just taking wild shots without even thinking about the consequences. that's not how it worked. >> you know, my message to them is go talk to the hundreds and hundreds of families of the american
3:53 am
soldiers that this man and that the quds force are responsible for killing, many of whom are actually suing iran and the irgc in federal court trying to seek compensation actually from a number of international banks across europe that laundered the money that essentially built these ieds. so, you know, they are either ignorant of history or looking for cheap political shots against this president or both. steve: congressman, when iran came out and they said we are going to hit 35 u.s. targets and then the president said well, we are going to hit -- i see your 35 and raise you a bunch. we will hit 52 sites and some have a cultural significance. the president's critics said oh you can't do that can he? >> look, what he exactly said was site of significance to iranian culture that could be tehran that could be their capitol. that could be a number of things. the pentagon knows very well where to draw that line and where to advise the
3:54 am
president. i think the bottom line is he is getting inside their calculus and finally we have them afraid of what we are going to do. not the other way around. and they better think long and hard before taking their next action. that's how deterrence works. i would tell the democrats look back at history. look back at the reagan administration where we actually had the uss enterprise launch aircraft and sink iranian ships after they launched missiles. so this notion that we're going to world war iii, that the president is loading up marines for a d-day style land something just ridiculous. the entity in the middle east that least wants war is the iranian regime. they care about survival. they do not want war with the united states. this is about deterring and descalating and about taking that strong action that will make them think twice. ainsley: congressman, it's interesting when you have civilians weighing in on this. derek hunter wrote an op-ed.

name. steve: everybody has 23%. griff is going to cover that a little bit we start with this. brian: this is why everything is changing. big story on the campaign trail and in your living room. a funeral taking place in iran at this hour. qassem soleimani is being, i guess, buried as his successor and daughter vow vengeance against the united states. steve: this comes as iraqi parliament called for u.s. troops to get out of the country but that is going to be a little complicated. ainsley: trey yingst is live there in baghdad right now where the iraqi prime minister and the u.s. ambassador expected to meet. trey, what's the latest? >> brian, ainsley, steve, good morning. tensions are high in the region after three rockets were fired into baghdad's green zone last night. there are talks of some diplomatic meetings today. but nothing that is firmly scheduled yet. many iranians did take for another funeral for iranian general qassem soleimani
4:02 am
that funeral being held across the street tehran. says will fight to get the u.s. out of iraq and vowed to hit american forces in the region this after a parliament vote landed in favor of kicking outs 5,000 u.s. troops assisting iraqi forces in the fight against isis. president trump did say the u.s. wouldn't leave iraq unless the country pays america back for an expensive air base that the americans did build here. but, moving forward, there are going to be a number of diplomatic concerns regarding those requests and, again, there is some shuttle diplomacy going on. tension does remain high in the region. like i said, there are concerns tonight in baghdad that iranian-backed iraqi she a militias could target some of these u.s.-related spaces in and around baghdad. we did see just last week the u.s. embassy being stormed by one of those iranian backed militias. and, again, there are concerns that could continue or something similar tonight
4:03 am
into tomorrow. back to you. steve: trey, thank you very much. iran said over the weekend they had 24 locations. they had a number of locations. 35 targets that they were interested in hitting. also, as we looked at some of the video from the funeral procession of the general, apparently one of the ugl eulogists yesterday offered 80-million-dollar bounty on donald j. trump. at one point he said and it would help if everyone contributed $1. mother member of parliament suggested that they should attack the white house. brian: so a couple things. they did have a vote in iraq yesterday. as to no one's surprise the iraqi parliament passed a resolution calling on the government to expel u.s. troops. it's a nonbinding resolution. that would be a disaster. mainly for iraq if we were to leave. they basically would be handing the country over to iran who fundamentally they were protesting one week ago about iran's presence not only in the country but in the election and their
4:04 am
political process and their policies. steve: you know, brian, the vote was, i forget what it was 300 to zero. there was nobody who said you know what? i think it's they voted present no. one would go on the record and said the united states should stay. ainsley: they wanted to attack all these sites. possibly attack the white house. one of their leaders said they wanted to attack the white house. the president responded if you want to do that then there be major retaliation. the u.s. would target 52 iranian sites at very high levels. sites important to iran and iranian culture. he got a lot of push back because of that crist particulars say you can't destroy cultural sites. the president said so they are allowed to kill our people? they're allowed to torture and maim our people and use roadside bombs and blow up our people and not allowed to touch their cultural sites? it doesn't work that way. brian: everybody is looking at the retribution and retaliation. not going to happen. so many proxies and terror groups around the world.
4:05 am
kenya base was hit by al-shabaab. one of their leaders was killed in the airstrike. you saw the green zone was rocketed last night. you saw that they breached into our embassy before we killed soleimani. but i thought it was interesting. one iran official says revenge will be against military sites. and they are not seeking war. they said we are going to look to do the same thing of equal measure to you and we ask you not to hit back after that. ainsley: can't be equal measure when the people that are running this country are not terrorists that guy had blood on his hands. he was planning to attack america. brian: it was barack obama that put him on the terror list. ainsley: exactly. back in 2005, maybe. steve: so iran is saying what iran trying to do? jack general keane was on "fox & friends" this weekend and said this. >> there is to two objectives that they publicly stated and they reinforce the it every
4:06 am
single year to be able to gain control middle east. drive americans out of the middle east by force and number two they have to destroy the state. this authoritarian rule and no concern for the people in terms of their quality of life experience blowing up in their case literally. so, yes, that's what's going on here. they are trying to create a crisis to put pressure on the united states to back off the sanctions, because, no other tool against them in 40 years has been so successful. brian: so basically democrats talk and go well, the pressure campaign, the maximum pressure campaign is not working. what are you talking about it's not working? did you see the protests in the street there did you know they used to export 200 barrels of oil and now down to 200,000? lindsey graham said look you tell iran you want to have retribution we know exactly where your refineries are. you think you are barely getting by on 200,000 barrels a day. those refineries gone how about zero in.
4:07 am
ainsley: they can't afford that they were prosecutorsing millions of barrels of oil. now they are down to 200,000 a day. so their economy is crashing. they can't afford to lose any more refineries. steve: right. you know, when this happened thursday into friday o of last week, we were talking about the history of this general and how much blood is on his hands. and we have got some sound bites we have put together for you of a number of democrats who talk about yeah, he is a really -- he was a really bad guy. a lot of blood on his hands. but, and the but involves the president. watch. >> practically, his actions now put us on the path to another war. >> he has been erratic and unsuccessful in almost every previous foreign policy endeavor. this one is the most dangerous of all. >> we're not safer today than we were before donald trump acted. >> we seem to have accomplished what soleimani was trying to do but couldn't. so in death he is actually
4:08 am
accomplished his goal. >> is not a good idea unless you are ready for what comes next. >> this is and was an enormous escalation. ainsley: i'm sure if we are taking out a bad guy we are ready. we are the most powerful force in the world we're not going to take out this terrorist, this dangerous guy without having a plan. steve: right. ainsley: you have to trust our military leaders helping the president sitting in his administration. i do understand okay, everyone is wondering you take out their terrorist, you take out one of their top leaders, the number two guy over there, this is going to be dangerous. how is he going to respond? those are questions that i'm sure our generals were talking about with the president. but you have to trust our military. our men and women are so able and capable. steve: ainsley, to your point, the pentagon war games all out. they give the president a packepact. at first he was not for
4:09 am
taking this guy out. something happened and it was like. brian: embassy. ainsley: how much more can they do to us without us doing something in return. steve: contractor, whatever it was. ainsley: they didn't want another benghazi. steve: the president went to the ultimate. that was to take that guy out. former congressman from my state of kansas and now the secretary of state mike pompeo said that the government of the united states would have been cull culpablably negligent if that guy was still alive on this monday morning. >> i think any reasonable person that sought intelligence that the senior american leaders had in their possession would have come to the same conclusion that president trump and our leadership team did about the fact that there would have been more risk to america. more risk through inaction than there was through the action we took. we would have been cull tabbably negligent had we not gone after soleimani. ainsley: general said the same thing. blood of would have been on
4:10 am
our hands who h. we not done anything about it. steve: how eminent were the attack planning and mike pompeo says the decision was the right one. brian: pull out of syria after erdogan. was your secretary of defense informed? secretary of state informed word was there weren't. this was a situation where the president was sitting there talking to his cabinet. getting different options. pre-thinking all of it. watching things unfolding, seeing the embassy breached and said now i have intelligence landing in baghdad after coming from lebanon with more terror and more militia coordination and now we have an imminent attack. this was thought out. this was planned and mike pompeo said also said, ainsley, yesterday, that the cabinet was than news in supporting this move. ainsley: exactly. have you elizabeth warren on the campaign trail saying we are not safer now because this man is out. really? you have general tata saying this was the right move. we are safer. he is a general. i think his opinion, his experience trumps elizabeth warren's opinion. and he says this goes to show how ridiculous our divide is, that they support soleimani over the president's decision.
4:11 am
he said this counters everything that i learned as a soldier. steve: well, it's political because, exactly four weeks from today there is going to be some voting in iowa. and in november there is going to be a big vote. ainsley: think about all the lives that were saved. they said the reason we hit this guy is because he was plotting imminent and sinister attacks. he wanted to kill hundreds of sailors and airmen and diplomats. all those lives were spared. they will have christmas with their family. come home to their family at the holidays because we took out this terrorists who wanted to kill our people. steve: critics of the president who have gotten political. one of them is joe biden. mr. biden getting more support from swing state democrats as the iowa caucuses approach four weeks from today. ainsley: his campaign announcing congress membe member -- endorsed former vice president. >> breaking down biden's latest boost in these battle ground states. hey, griff. griff: 28 days to iowa caucuses and 302 to the
4:12 am
general election and no clear picture of which democratic candidate will be the one to try to take on president trump. joe biden is getting that boost heading into iowa. according to cbs's latest poll numbers. take a look. biden now in a three-way ty for first place with 23% with buttigieg and sanders and war wen essentially in fourth at 16%. welcome news for the former vp who previously trailed in the hawkeye state. >> they have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at me. guess what i'm still standing and my poll numbers are going up. [cheers] >> and biden also picking up those key endorsement. joe biden is battle-tested on the world stage in congress. and in the white house he will defeat donald trump and win in tough districts like mine. now, in a head-to-head against trump among iowa democrats. biden wins handily at 38%. followed by sanders at 29. warren 24 and buttigieg 21.
4:13 am
biden doubled his competitors at 53%. however, heading into new hampshire, the next test, this poll gives sanders a narrow lead ahead of biden 27% to 25%. followed by warren at 18% and buttigieg at 13%. the next debate, by the way is, a week from tomorrow in des moines. january 14th. what's interesting, too guys, you have been talking about the situation, this poll was conducted december 27th to january 3rd. not a clear indicator yet on how voters may feel about it. we will find out in the coming days. steve: right. but all the democrats are saying essentially the same thing. griff, thank you very much. ainsley: until the next poll comes out. brian: national poll over the weekend mike bloomberg third. not on any debate stage because qualifications are necessary. is he spending a lot of money. steve: he has a lot of money. ainsley: and so is tom steyer. i see those commercials. the more money the more commercial time. brian: i don't see steyer getting momentum where at

4:23 am
josh, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: i remember about three weeks ago the democrats made it very clear: this was urgent. well, three weeks later, doesn't seem so urgent. >> you know, nancy pelosi is attempting to obstruct a senate trial. that's all there is to it. the constitution says that the senate is the one that will have the trial it. says the trial will follow the impeachment. now she is trying to prevents a trial. she is trying to obstruct it and upend the constitution. here's what needs to happen. we need to change the senate rules to allow the senate to dismiss this case if she refuses to send the articles over. steve: isn't that what happens in a normal courtroom? >> exactly. in a normal courtroom in a real world, if the prosecutor does not try his or her case, if they don't actually bring it forward to the court, then the defendant can say all right, well then we are dismissing the case. the court can say we are dismissingth case. and in this instance the
4:24 am
senate is the court and it's time for us to take action if you are not going to prosecute your characterization we are throwing it out. steve: right. lindsey graham has another suggestion, much on the idea of yours. and that is if she is not going to send it over. we are going to change the rules and we will start the trial without her. how would that work? >> well, that's another option that we could certainly do. and it's the same basic idea which is we have got to change the senate rules to allow the senate to proceed. listen, nancy pelosi is trying to run the senate. she is trying to be the leader of the senate and control what we do. she is trying to prevent a trial. and the bottom line is, that's not what the constitution says. so, in order to protect the constitution, in order to protect the american people and to give the president due process, the senate has to act. we have got to the say send us these articles or we are moving on without you. steve: right. chuck schumer has said he needs four republican senators to come over to his side so that they would wind up being able to call witnesses.
4:25 am
how many republican senators might he have lined up? >> i don't know the answer to that here is the bottom line. the senate is ready to proceed. every republican is ready to proceed to a trial right now clinton good enough for the democrats. they don't want it. use it to start the trial now. we should be doing this right now. we should be in a trial as we speak. we are not for one reason. because nancy pelosi is disrespecting the constitution. she is trying to obstruct a senate trial. she is trying to upend the constitution process. we can't allow this to happen. prosecutorly, 100 percent partisan impeachment has led to this circus. this charade and now she wants it to extend forever, apparently. steve: well, we don't know what her end game is, but, senator, it would be crazy if on february 5th, when the president of the united states is there in the house of representatives with the senators all 100 of his
4:26 am
jurors in the impeachment trial, essentially he could make his defense right there. even though she hasn't even brought the articles over to their side. >> yeah. he certainly could. here is what scares me, steve. we could be sitting here in october of this year and nancy pelosi could still be sitting on the articles. or when the president gets reelected as i believe he will, we could see her still holding onto the articles to try and obstruct a second term. i mean, if the senate doesn't act, then there is no end in sight. steve: going back to the question where is the urgency that they were talking about so much earlier. senator josh hawley from missouri. thank you for joining us early on this monday morning. >> thank you. steve: all right. 7:26 here in new york city. many in the media are wasting no time propping up soleimani's following the news of his death on thursday. >> soleimani, an iconic military leader. >> a revered figure. >> difficult to convey how revered he is. the troops love him. steve: there is that revered word a couple times.

steve: 7:30 here in new york city. shocking new images from inside jeffrey epstein's prison cell revealed last night by "60 minutes." aishah hasnie joins us live with the closer look new evidence and how the disgraced financier spent his final hours or what we believe. >> good morning, steve. yeah, new photos are probably not going to put those murder theories to rest. take a look for yourself. new images from inside jeffrey epstein's cell were obtained by "60 minutes." the photos show multiple nooses, a lot of orange bedding right there. multiple prescription pill bottles. electrical cords and handwritten note. in that note epstein complains about prison conditions and his prison guards. he says they, quote: kept me in a locked shower stall for one hour and sent me burnt food, giant bugs crawling over my hands, no fun. but there is one thing that's missing from these photos. no epstein. no photos of his body inside
4:32 am
the cell. that's a problem for dr. michael baden. he was hired by epstein's brother investigate the death. he first questioned this whole suicide ruling right here on "fox & friends." >> i think thought evidence points toward homicide rather than suicide. >> why? >> because there are multiple three fractures in the hollywood bone, the thyroid cartilage very unusual for suicide and more indicative of strangulation. homicidal strangulation. >> okay, so now, after after seeing all of those new pictures, he is doubling down on his claims to "60 minutes" that all of the evidence points to murder. >> the forensic evidence released so far, autopsy point much more to murder and strangulation than the suicide. >> and one more quick thing. we won't show you the pictures of epstein's body because they are too graphic.
4:33 am
dr. baden points to the fact that there seems to be no blood on the noose found in the cell, the noose made out of that orange bedding even though there is a wound around epstein's neck that seems pretty bad. looks like there should be some blood, steve, brian, ainsley? steve: thanks aishah that so much. why we have used the bed sheets when there were all those cords there instead. >> lots of questions. steve: ainsley? ainsley: despite the fact that soleimani had so many americans' blood on his hands. media questioning trump's decision to take him out instead hailing the iranian leadership. >> by killing soleimani the u.s. has stripped iran of inspirational military leader. >> he is arguably or was arguably the second most powerful man in the country. >> soleimani is difficult to convey how revered he is in iran. >> killing soleimani does nothing but feed donald trump's ego. >> brian: our next guest says
4:34 am
he saw soleimani's evil firsthand. worse than can you possibly imagine. bring in imagining editor of faith wire.com dan an andros. you know what it is like to look him in the eye. >> reporting on isis one year after eye sis went on notorious rampage across iraq. as we were going across the country and seeing the damage that they did. we went after and encountered story after story in idp camps. hundreds of thousand sans of people displaced from their homes and living in these camps. we heard horrific stories about what isis has done. well-documented. one of the stories that stood out to me when we met a family at idp camp outside of irbil. this dad came up to us and said hey i would love to talk to you guys. he told us his story. he was not only oppressed by sis sis and run out of their home. he was telling us about she
4:35 am
a militias. same mishis under the militia mf soleimani. met a boy told us how intimidation and ran some all these things they used to do and still do to keep people in control and fuel sectarian tensions and divisions. they would torture families. this man's wife was murdered and his son, who was 4 at the time, had -- they took a drill and drilled holes in his leg to get this guy to do whatever they wanted him to do at the time. and there is the boy right there. he just -- this is years later from that incident when we saw him. and he was, you know, just a shell of a human being. he was staring at the ceiling. and didn't really talk much at all. the dad said he had nightmares every single night. ainsley: of course. >> this was what it looked like. i couldn't get this interview out of my head. the dad had burns all over his body. they did something to him where they burned him. you know, not exactly sure what happened there. but, in this same camp, mind you, were lots of kids, out
4:36 am
there playing. they still at least some semblance to be able to play and be kids and sort of be out there. this one -- ainsley: when you hear about -- when you hear our folks in the media and america, you hear civilians that are judging the president for making this call, what do you think? >> yeah. well, i immediately went-that's what kind of triggered me to write the story i wrote on faith wire which is calling him revered. all the things you saw in the sound clip there and, you know, it's revered, you know, maybe to a few of his followers but, you know, feared is probably the more likely thing. this is guy that was in charge of keeping protesters in line. we read about those stories where the protesters are getting killed. that's the handiwork of soleimani here. you know, can you debate the politics about what is going to happen here. the escalations. what you can't debate is that this guy was a special brand of evil that the world is a better place that he is gone. brian: arrogant. general petraeus said never would have stepped foot in
4:37 am
the country when bewere there. quds force blowing guys up and organizing the entire insurgency. dan, thanks so much for sharing your story. >> thanks for having me. ainsley: so horrible, drilling through a little 4-year-old's leg. >> we know about the american blood on his legs but imagine he what can do to children is evil. ainsley: i know. thanks, dan. brian: thanks, dan. senator lindsey graham issues impeachment ultimatum. >> if we don't get the articles this week, then we need to take matters in our own hands. ainsley: what options are on the table? we will ask former house speaker newt gingrich ♪ ♪ feeling sluggish or weighed down

4:43 am
are saying why hasn't she sent them over from us? we just had josh hawley on the great senator from missouri. he said today is he going to introduce legislation to dismiss the. we have lindsey graham said yesterday if they are not going to send it over, let's start it without her. what do you make of going on. have you seen impeachment in your lifetime. >> well, look, it's hard for me to explain what speaker pelosi thinks she is doing. the more she plays games the more she devalues the impeachment process and turns it from historic event to just politics. so, the number of people i talk to other the weekend who are not political who said to me i am so sick of this. i just wish they would quit doing it. these are not automatic republicans or automatic trump people. are just as americans watching pelosi in this dance every day she drags
4:44 am
this out, thinks it looks more political and less serious. makes the democrats look like a party that are engaged in not doing what the country wants but playing partisan games. i don't understand her strategy. ainsley: shia why is she doing this? hold hoping to hold off until the election and democrats win the senate? what's her reason? >> i can't quite fathom it. because, they know from the polling numbers that the longer this goes on the stronger president trump is getting. and they know that they are looking more and more like a party that's purely political in the worse sense of the word. i was just last night informed by the congressional campaign committee we have over 800 candidates now, including over 180 women who are running for congress. so, every day that the democrats remain more political and, of course, they have now added to that looking like they are pro-reignian, you know, they
4:45 am
encourage more people to run for office. they encourage more people to donate. you look at the amount of money that nancy pelosi has raised for donald trump he ought to send her a beautiful thank you note. saying no one has done more to finance my campaign than you have nancy. please spend the next six months convincing people your party is brain dead. brian: the problem is adam schiff said yesterday it's not going to be an indefinite delay. he said the desire is to get a commitment from the senate that they are going to have a fair trial. mitch mcconnell is not buying that they are not going to be pushed around by the house. i mean, they have their own pride. they have their own method. that's not going to work. >> look, i have to confess i was speaker of the house. brian: i know. >> i had the house's general attitude towards the senate. but, the idea that pelosi thinks that she can somehow bluff mitch mcconnell, i mean, verges on requiring a psychiatrist.
4:46 am
mcconnell's entire career has been on bluff -- wrote a great memoir called the long game. if she would sit down and read his memoir and see how mitch thinks. he must be sitting over there this morning having coffee and laughing. brian: he is. >> at this whole speck kel, she has no leverage on him. none. it makes her look weak and foolish. brian: unless you can flip four senators but mousavi on. steve: let's talk about two senators, mr. speaker, schumer and menendez sent a letter to the president of the united states and in part it says we write to request and urge you to immediately declassify the full january 4, 2020 war powers notification you submitted to congress following the u.s. military operation. it is critical the national security matters of such importance be shared with the american people in a timely manner and entirely classified notification is simply not appropriate in a democratic society. so, once again, they want the president to declassify
4:47 am
his reason for taking out that general last thursday. >> i think secretary of state pompeo said this very well yesterday over and over again because he did almost every show. >> i don't know if that material to what degree it reveals our sources and to what degree it reveals our methods. but i can tell you look, the iranian dictatorship has been at war with us since 1979. their seizure of the embassy, which was illegal, was a deliberate act by the dictatorship. they -- last year, their congress, went into session chanting death to america. literally all their politicians in the congress chanting death to america. ainsley: and wipe israel off the map. >> when they chant death to america maybe what they mean is death to america. the fact that you have a bunch of democrats whose first instinct their immediate instinct is
4:48 am
whatever trump has done is wrong, even though and there is a great article in the "wall street journal" this morning by former democratic senator and vice presidential candidate jerome who says why can't democrats just admit this was a bad person. he killed at least 700 americans. badly wounded thousands. he was actively engaged in trying to drive america out of the middle east. he should have been killed. it was an act of war. because he has been waging war on us. and i think what trump is so different from obama is that when you wage war on trump, he is going to wage war back and he is bigger than you are and has got a bigger military than you do. brian: when the retaliation starts and likely to do it with all the proxies they have, are they going to say i told you so? america needs to understand we are schooled enough over the last 20 years to understand what the war on terror is like and what iran has been doing for 40 years. newt gingrich, thanks so much. >> great to be with you. brian: all right. straight ahead. millions of acres scorched

4:54 am
number of other animals, you know, koalas make the headlines but everything is getting injured. birds, reptiles, you are name it. and the people on the front line are doing a great job but their facilities are being evacuated. we are trying to help where we can for these people on the front line of danger. ainsley: robert, what are. so injuries that you have seen? >> yeah, well, it's really sad to see with all these different species of course the injuries you would expect smoke inhalation and burns but more than that as these animals are trying to flee these areas, they are coming in contact with -- they are crossing roads, getting hit by cars, coming into contact with the domestic animals. there is a lot of different injuries we are getting. as mom was saying really just overrun at the moment. our fruit bats intake has gone up by 760%. even though we have hit 90,000 animals over the years, it's really
4:55 am
exponential. ainsley: terry, what can we do? so many people watching animals lovers. >> people have been fantastic. especially from america. i know you are from south carolina. that's our sister state here in queens land and people are really stepping up to donate and make a difference. and the funds are going directly to medical supplies that we are sending south and adding facilities and helping these animals that need it so much. so wildlife warriors.org, you can make a tax deductible donation from america and these animals will get help today. ainsley: that's great. i will definitely do that thank you for saying that and saying that about south carolina. robert, why is it important to carry on your dad's legacy? why is it important to do this? we all watched him so many years. special person and kept him in family through animal planet. you were 2 years old when your dad died. tell us why it's important for you to carry on that legacy? >> yeah, well, i think as

you said he was such an amazing person. he had such a huge effect and really inspired so many people and for us as a family, it's such an honor for me and my sister and my mom to really follow in his footsteps and make sure that his message lives on. i think in this day and age our wildlife all over the world are having a really tough time and it's important for everyone to step up and do their part. but, you know, we are really excited to honor him and times like this would be -- a lot of distress is what is going on. ainsley: well, god bless. we are out of time. i'm so sorry. god bless you both we will go an donate on that website. more "fox & friends" coming up. any comments doug? yeah. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual.

5:01 am
vowing vengence against the united states, but at the same time, they say we're going to hit the united states in some way, but we don't want war. ainsley: so this comes as the iraqi parliament calls for all u.s. troop, all 5,000 of them, to get " out of the country. >> brian: trey is in baghdad to see if the troops are forced out, this was a non-binding resolution though, right? >> reporter: it's exactly right. it is a non-binding resolution, and part of this has to do with the fact that not everyone in the iraqi parliament showed up to vote and additionally you had the prime minister who was actually really just a show prime minister for now, and he has already resigned and is really just sitting in his role in a ceremonial way to say that he does not support american troops being on the ground in iraq any more. so this is a political issue for president trump to deal with, but also, a potential military one, because there are more than 5,000 troops in iraq currently
5:02 am
helping iraqi security forces in the might against isis, all of this taking place as the funeral procession did get underway today for qassem soleimani, that iranian general killed in a strike early friday morning outside baghdad's international airport. we saw the location, where the american drone strike took place today. it was such a large blast. you can still see the blast marks on a large concrete wall. it turned this concrete wall to swiss cheese. there are holes in this wall, as a result of this strike on the other side of the road. this is how large the blast was, that took out soleimani, ordered directly by president trump. as i mentioned tensions are extremely high here today. just last night three rockets were fired into baghdad, the green zone just off to my left, and there are some sort of demonstrations going on right now because i can smell the tear gas in the air just behind me, in baghdad where many of those demonstrations have taken place. there's been two sorts of demonstrations over the past year some against the iraqi government for their support of the iranian regime and some
5:03 am
against america's role in iraq, and that is what we've seen over the past week, when you saw the u.s. embassy come under siege early last week the president responding, taking out soleimani and again, today, everyone questioning what is going to be next for the region. as these iranian-backed iraqi malitias are still operating and firing rockets towards the u.s. forces in the area, president trump has vowed to respond if any americans are there. >> brian: what was it like in the green zone? have things changed the feeling in the green zone, changed since the takeout of the general? >> reporter: they have. as we were driving by today you could see a number of gates normally opened, closed because that was one of the main concerns of americans in the green zone questioning why the iraqi security forces opened the gates in the first place to allow those militants to actually come through and attack the embassy so it does appear they have been taking direction at least from the p.m. who did speak with the trump adminitration last week after
5:04 am
that embassy siege. >> steve: live in baghdad with the very latest and the precautions are also being taken here in the united states. i was flying yesterday, thank you, trey, and the security at the airport was really significant. ainsley: you noticed a difference. so when you talk to people who have experience with this terrorist, their stories are just so frightening. we interviewed dan andrews with faithwire.com, you could read his article and he said when he was in iraq he was there for journalistic reasons and he interviewed a family that was one of the camps that isis ran out of their home and he interviewed the dad. the mom had been killed and the dad, he had burns all over his body from what this malitia group did, under the command of general soleimani and he said the little boy, his son, was four years old, and they drilled , drilled holes into his legs to torture him in front of
5:05 am
his father. >> brian: this is what this guy is capable of. ainsley: there is the boy now but he was four years old because the young man lying on the bed. >> steve: ainsley no doubt this guy that the united states took out was a bad guy who killed hundreds of americans in his career, as a general, in the iranian, there you go right there, in the iranian government , and how many thousands were mamed as well. newt gingrich looked at the politics involved, and all these democrats say you're right. he was a terrible guy, blood on his hands that we look at him, right there, so why can't they just admit he was a bad person? here is what the former speaker said 20 minutes ago here on the show. >> when they chant "death to america" maybe what they mean is death to america. now the fact that you have a bunch of democrats whose first instinct, their immediate instinct is whatever trump has done is wrong, why can't democrats just admit, this was a bad person, he killed at least 700 americans, badly wounded
5:06 am
thousands, and he was actively engaged in trying to drive america out of the middle east. trump is so different from obama is that when you wage war on trump, he's going to wage war back. >> brian: top iranian official s say yeah there will be revenge but they're not seeking it, they are seeking it against military sites and then they say if we're going to do something comparable and we asked the u.s. not to hit back, after that because we don't want war. nice try. ainsley: we'll hit you but don't hit us back. >> brian: kellyanne conway will be live at 8:35 eastern time. >> steve: did you just say the iranians are going to hit our military but our military can't hit back. >> brian: that's what they want because they don't want war >> steve: meanwhile later on today josh holly, the junior senator from the great state of missouri is going to push a new measure in the u.s. senate to essentially because nancy pelosi had said three weeks ago, 19 days ago, as she passed articles
5:07 am
of impeachment out of the house, this is an urgent matter, that the senate needs to consider, and yet here we are three weeks later. she has not even handed the measures over, why is that? here is what he's going to do later today in the senate. >> nancy pelosi is trying to run the senate. she is trying to be the leader of the senate and control what we do. she's trying to prevent a trial and the bottom line is that's not what the constitution says so in order to protect the constitution, in order to protect the american people, and to give the president due process, the senate has to act in a normal courtroom in a real-world, if the prosecutor does not try his or her case, if they don't actually bring it forward to the court. the court can say that we're dismissing the case and in this instance the senate is the court and it's time for us to take action to say if you're not going to prosecute your case we're throwing it out. ainsley: lindsey graham also has a second plan and he wants to change the rules in the senate
5:08 am
if nancy pelosi is not going to hand over the articles of impeachment he's ready to start the trial now. >> brian: my sense is nancy pelosi was waiting because she thought there was more evidence coming out to and points to a washington post story about documents. people have made up their minds already and what senator schumer wants to do is pressure at least four republicans to the point where their political future is in jeopardy and they switch sides and demand that mitch mcconnell have a trial, and then it's thrown out so did you know who doesn't want that to happen? senator elizabeth warren, senator sanders and senator amy klobuchar because that means they will sit in washington instead of campaigning for the nomination. >> steve: so it'll be interesting to see exactly how soon she does send it over. ainsley: catching up today on what's happening in the middle east, and d.c., over in hollywood. this is what you're going to be really interested in as well. the golden globes it's the fifth year that ricky gervase hosted this event. he says it's the last time
5:09 am
hosting because he doesn't care any more. brian: his gloves have never been on. he insults hollywood and they keep inviting him back. ainsley: so see his message for hollywood is yall be quiet because n' all are hypocrites. >> it's a superb drama, yeah. [applause] >> a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing made by a company that runs sweat shops in china. >> [laughter] >> so you say you won't but the companies you work for, unbelievable, apple, amazon, disney, if isis started a stream ing verse you'd call your agent wouldn't you? so if you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? you're in no position to lecture the public about anything. you know nothing about the real-world, so if you win, come up, accept your award, thank your agent and your god.
5:10 am
>> [applause] >> brian: we had to bleep that part. i think you know what he said so your self-important, just take the award and get off the stage and don't get political and do you know what? a lot of people did not listen. >> steve: he also brought up the fact that felicity huffman brought up the fact that she was in jail and nobody laughed. ainsley: so you mentioned nobody listened? they did get political. watch. >> we're not going to look back on this night, in the history books, we will see a country on the brink of war, for our kids and their kids, and we have to get beg and leader for everyone we know to vote in 2020. >> we must all come together as one for the sake of something greater. >> make no mistake, the tragedy unfolding in australia is climate change-based. we need to act based on science.
5:11 am
>> women, 18 to 118, when it is time to vote please do so in your own self-interest. we are the largest voting body in this country. let's make it look more like us. >> it's a very bold move making tonight and it really sends a powerful message. >> steve: so it was a bold move to not have meat it was plant-based. a bold move would have been for them not to serve alcohol. >> they aren't going to did that. they did serve the water in glass jars. they served beet scoop and scallops made out of mushrooms, brussel sprouts and carrots. >> brian: isn't vodka made out of potatoes? that shows they do care about the planet. >> steve: we asked what you thought about it. susan said watching the clip from the golden globes was hilarious, super glad he had the courage to put the hollywood
5:12 am
special people in their place although in one ear out the other she says. ainsley: other person says hollywood was told you don't understand reality so keep your politics to yourself but they didn't. case in point. >> brian: sherry says this. all those celebrities so concerned about climate change and war, not one word about the homeless problem in california. right. that's probably they had to walk threw that homeless issue to get to the very place but they don't want to address it because you got a democratic charge. >> steve: nonetheless the host said don't get political and a bunch of people did. >> brian: it goes to show you nothing matters. ainsley: i watched the whole thing on youtube. >> steve: i understand you want ratings but why would you hire someone that is just going to test roy you for three hours? ainsley: he was saying don't take this so seriously. these are jokes and he says we are all going to die soon, and there's no sequal. >> brian: i don't know that
5:13 am
that's so funny. there is no afterlife is what he's saying but more, let's go to gillian. >> i think if you're told not to do something you're going to do it. i think, everyone. ainsley: what did people tell you not to do that you're doing? >> i don't know generally speaking it's a blanket statement. >> as a country we do the opposite. >> if you tell me not to read the headlines i'll read them. >> let's go to the headlines and we do begin with the fox news alert, the american ambassador to afghanistan is stepping down, tweeting saying my earnest home is for leaders and citizens across this country to find strength and unity to put aside their differences and work together to negotiate a political settlement with the taliban. afghans and this beautiful country deserve nothing less. he served as the ambassador to the country since 2017. another fox news alert three americans killed after terrorists attack a military base in kenya. members are killing one service member and two military

5:20 am
logically, his actions now put us on the path to another war. >> he's been erratic and unsuccessful in almost every previous foreign policy endeavor this one is the most dangerous of all. >> we are not safer today than we were before donald trump acted. >> steve: some democrats slam ming president trump for killing terror mastermind soleimani. ainsley: our next guest is fired up fox news contributor dan bongino is joining us. when you hear elizabeth warren saying we're not safer but that this guy was planning an attack on hundreds of americans who are clearly safer today what do you make of that? >> you know, ainsley the democrats and some in the media the reaction to the killing of his most dangerous men in the world has been an abomination.
5:21 am
it makes you seriously ask the question, what team are you on? how is this not a good thing for this security of the entire world? you have to remember, it's not just american blood, this savage and regional blood as well whether it was libya, afghanistan, yemen, syria, bahrain, iraq, this was a force for in stability and insecurity around the entire world and just to be clear on this, so you don't think anybody here is speaking with forked tongue. i don't remember after barack obama ordered the killing of osama bin laden which was a successful operation for the united states of the world, i don't remember well, was bin laden an imminent threat, did we dangerously escalate the situation? do you know who dangerously escalated the situation? the iranian savage we just killed when he decided it was a good idea to attack our embassy. the answer is they weren't, they
5:22 am
were celebrating obama paying him off with $100 billion in cash that they still continue to claim was iranian money. it wasn't iranian money. >> steve: dan what do you make of the fact that within the last hour senator schumer and menendez of new jersey sent a letter to the white house saying hey you've got to declassify that war powers notification you sent to congress because we want the american people to see the justification for pulling the trigger on this guy and then you've got nancy pelosi who says the house is going to vote this week on an iranian resolution that restricts the president's ability to defend the united states, and attack iran. >> yeah that's interesting. i don't remember him doing that with any of the obama drone strikes. do you remember that, guys, do you remember the democrats pushing for that? of course you didn't because they are phony, fake, fraud, hypocrites, who i'm telling you, you should be asking yourself today very serious question. i'm not kidding. what team are these guys on?
5:23 am
we have seen them steep, defend ms-13, remember nancy pelosi said oh, you can't call ms-13 animals. i think when your motto is rape, torture, kill, it's actually a disgrace to animals to call them animals but that's not where pelosi was going. remember with the kim jong-un the nuclear meetings we had? it appeared as if they were root ing for kim jong-un. i mean, what team are these guys on? listen, do you really think this is going to get you elected that mainstream media wants to hear you defending one of the world's most dangerous people after we took him out? >> brian: let's look ahead and we know what's going to happen. there is the iranians have malitias and relationships with terror groups all around the world including steeper cells in our country. as soon as something happens and sadly something is going to happen. that's just the way they work and what they live for in the middle east. they will say i told you so we never should have done this but you can't quantify the attacks that didn't happen because the supreme coordinator since 1997
5:24 am
has been taken out and destabilized. you can't quantify attacks that didn't happen because they can no longer figure out the president who didn't do anything after the drone was shot down, and the saudi base was blown up, the oil plant was blown up, and now all of a sudden they go wait a second what is this guy capable of so you can't quantify one but you can quantify the other and then you'll see all those democrats high fiving after the attacks saying i told you so. >> well let me double down on your point you're right, you can't prove a counter-factual that's impossible. you can't show what would have happened if something happened that didn't happen. secondly, something already did happen, brian. we have 600 dead american servicemen buried underground whose families lost them who died heroically because it is savage, that already happened. we already had an attack on our embassy that if it wasn't by brave u.s. patriots in our military could have resulted in another benghazi-like situation. this already happened as you
5:25 am
just mentioned we already had regional violence in yemen with their proxy groups starting in stability all over the world that sadly can filter back here. this already happened. so that you're absolutely right. if they start going down this road blaming everything from this point on president trump will just be another disturbing gross episode. ainsley: what do you say to the people that do watch the networks when they are saying this man was they are praising him. and revered they say revered we've had gets on that say actually he was feared by many people there who weren't his followers. what do you say to the person that buys into that democratic message? >> i mean, what are they going to call him next? a scholar? they can't do that, they've already used those adjectives and this is why upwards of 90% of republicans and 30-40% of democrats, 40-50% of the population in general just can't stand the mainstream media and doesn't trust them for the news any more. they do it to themselves.
5:26 am
it's this kind of stuff. it's really unbelievable that the world is now a safer place because of the brave decisions of our military and president trump and we just can't all take a victory lap and say okay, what do we do together going forward? that whole idea of politics ends at the water's edge is sadly dead and gone. it's really disturbing and joe liner man is a great piece about this in the wall street journal this morning, a democrat saying guys we all need to get on the same team here. this is our country we should all be bleeding red, white and blue and interested in the security of our country going forward. this isn't a partisan issue. >> dan bongino, thanks so much. >> steve: straight ahead, on this monday, richard jewel was wrongly accused of planning a bomb at the 1996 olympics and now his story is being told on the big screen by clint eastwood ainsley: after the break his mother and the attorney who help ed clear his name is going to join us live. >> my son is a hero.

5:32 am
jewell, bobby jewell and the real-life attorney who helped clear richard's name, watson bryant thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having us. ainsley: you're welcome so bobby when you watch the movie about your son's life you see those clips of kathy bates playing you how accurate was the movie? >> 200%. ainsley: why did you want to do this movie? >> there were too many things that people were charging him with that i knew better and i felt like i certainly to god did not want it to happen to anybody else's son. >> steve: richard jewell was the one that discovered the backpack bomb while he was working as a security guard at centennial park and and he was regarded as a hero until apparently somebody was it the fbi who leaked his name to a
5:33 am
news outlet and then suddenly, he was public enemy number one, right? >> that's right. somebody broke the law and leak ed confidential information from the department of justice. >> steve: somebody at the northbound did that? >> that's what we believe, yes. >> ainsley: 88 days, he was accused. what was that time like for you and your family and did you believe he was innocent the whole time? >> yes, ma'am i believed he was innocent from the first time that he came home and i asked him, you know, and he said no, ma'am, i didn't do this, mom. and so for 88 days we lived in hell, with photographers out front, the newspaper out front, my apartment was bugged, one gentleman came in and he also was bugged, and later, we found that out.
5:34 am
it was just shear hell for 88 days. >> watson, the thing about this clint eastwood movie is it brought the richard jewell story back and now people can realize through the lens of time what exactly happened, and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time when that news was leaked by somebody at the department of justice. >> well, i think that him being the bad guy was just too good of a story to let go by. the problem with it all is that it was so sensationalized. he was one of many people that the fbi looked at and they get everybody in the universe and then look at them one by one and the media just sensationalized the living hell out of it and it resulted in the avalanche of negative publicity about him and basically, screwed up their lives forever. ainsley: eric rudolph eventually
5:35 am
the serial bomber confessed to the act and your son bobby was exonerated after 88 days from hell as you describe it. i know that watson, you created a team of attorneys and there was a settlement involved and you're not allowed to talk about that for the confidentiality agreement but thank you both for being with us. >> thanks for having us. >> steve: check out the movie. meanwhile iran ramping up threats after the trump adminitration killed that top terrorist general, and kellyanne conway joins us live from the white house, next. >> ♪ freedom, freedom we made usaa insurance for members like kate.

i just look and feel better. see me. cosentyx works fast to give you clear skin that can last. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine... ...or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. i look and feel better with cosentyx. five years is just crazy. see me. ask your dermatologist if cosentyx could help you move past the pain of psoriasis. our retirement plan with voya gives us confidence. they help us with achievable steps along the way... so we can spend a bit today, knowing we're prepared for tomorrow. wow dad, do you think you overdid it maybe? i don't think so... what do you think, peanut? nope! honey, do you think we overdid it? overdid what? see? we don't think so, son.

technically, grandparents can't overdo it. it's impossible. well planned, well invested, well protected. voya. be confident to and through retirement. >> brian: a fox news alert you're looking at live video from iran state tv showing mourn ers, and iran as the funeral procession for qassem soleimani is happening right now and president trump issuing a warning to iraq by the
5:40 am
way and iran following threats by those two country against our country. >> steve: the president told reporters on air force one about iran. "they're allowed to kill our people and torture our people and allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people and we're not allowed to touch their cultural site. it does not work that way." ainsley: iraq's parliament voting to remove u.s. troops from the country. they say that they will face sanctions and the president says go face sanctions if that does happen so let's bring in kellyanne conway counselor to the president, good morning to you, kellyanne. >> corning. ainsley: so what is your reaction to that or what's the president's reaction? >> well the president knows he was on solid ground, constitutionally, legally strategically, to have taken out one of the world's best-known most blood-thirsty and brutal terrorist and the world is safer because soleimani is now dead. this president waited three years. we've had soleimani in our sight s for just as long as we've been here, obviously previous
5:41 am
administrations did as well, but i'd like to quote none other than former dhs secretary under president obama, jeh johnson who yesterday said the president as commander-in-chief has ample domestic legal authority to have taken this lawful military objective to execute on the lawful military objective and you've got former head of command and former cia director yesterday, saying that you cannot overstate the significance, of taking out soleimani and that when he was over there, with our troop, we didn't see much of soleimani. he's been more brazen and been more visible and he got caught in the act. he got caught in the act. we've got americans, ladies and gentlemen, we've got americans who have buried their sons and daughters, because soleimani has executed. we have thousands of other americans maimed and injured some devastatingly for permanent injuries because of soleimani so i'm a little sick already of hero worship it seems of
5:42 am
soleimani for some people that just can't get over the fact this was an important call by our commander-in-chief. >> steve: kellyanne what do you make of the fact that within the last 90 minutes or so senator schumer and menendez have sent over to the white house a letter telling the president to declassify the war powers authorization letter that he sent to congress, and they say the american people need to know what the justification was for pulling the trigger on that guy. >> that's a partisan action by schumer and menendez and they know better. they've been in the senate for a long time, far too long frankly for each of them. they know that beginning this week there will be congressional briefings, and they're not restricted. i'm informed, to people who are just in the intelligence committee, members of congress can have access to the information. they know that the pentagon will be briefing congress privately in the due course so that's just a partisan move as was their impeachment. you know what's bipartisan?
5:43 am
bipartisan is the credit that the commander-in-chief is getting for taking this action against blood-thirsty murderer soleimani. bipartisan is the opposition to the impeachment and i just can't believe that even now, when i'm old enough to remember that foreign policy is supposed to stop at the partisanship, foreign policy is supposed to be devoid of politics but this is a town now that is so incredibly partisan when it comes to president trump, they are negative, and critical, even when he's taking out a terrorist , who is caught in the act to continue to murder more americans and this president put a stop to that. >> brian: i want you to hear what the democrats said over the weekend especially as news came out about the strike on friday. >> his actions now put us on the path to another war. he's been erratic and unsuccessful in almost every previous foreign policy endeavor this one is the most dangerous
5:44 am
of all. we are not safer today than we were before donald trump acted. >> we seem to have accomplished what soleimani was trying to do but couldn't so in death he's actually accomplished his goal. >> it's not a good idea unless you're ready for what comes next >> this is and was an enormous escalation. >> brian: so that's what they think. what do you think about what they think? >> well who can blame them but i'm not going to be lectured by people who voted affirmatively to fork over $130 billion in cash to iran which helps to fund the force. i don't think it went to economic development and women's freedom and liberation in iran do you? and so i'm not lectured by them and certainly by people who are weak on foreign policy like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. i mean she was ridiculous yesterday in terms of the projecting weakness, she just wants this country to be weak when it comes to foreign policy. >> brian: she says the
5:45 am
president wanted to take impeachment off the table. >> it gives no credibility. if you're elizabeth warren and sinking in the polls and fundraising and somebody was the mayor of a small midwestern town and you're losing to bernie sanders, your co-socialistic, to a vice president who should be forced to eat the chaos and the iranian policy, that we inherited and is out there lecturing how it escalated i'm with former cia director and defense secretary bob gates, he says vice president biden has been on the wrong side of major foreign policy decisions for decades and he's certainly on the wrong side of the iranian ones and secretary pompeo is absolutely correct. we're cleaning up the mess we inherited but part of that is allowing people like soleimani to reign free, and to execute his reign on terror, not just on americans but on others and that's why this president has spoken with boris johnson, with emmanuel macron more recently, secretary pompeo announced he would like more help from our allies in europe but this is
5:46 am
helpful to the entire world and i'm disappointed but not surprised the democrats who see in this moment of soleimani's death some kind of partisan political opportunity for them, but i think it doesn't play well with americans and they see that soleimani are now where they belong and they can no longer kill americans and other people around the world. >> brian: they call them weak after the embassy raid, and now they are calling him wreckless after the soleimani strike. it's like you can't win. >> and prototype president doesn't have a strategy. number one, you'll fork over billions of dollars of cash. that was a position of weakness and appeasement and that is a disgrace and we're cleaning up for that that's the obama/biden policy. number two is we've got sanctions on iran, and also the other strategy is you take out soleimani when you can. that's a strategy. >> kellyanne conway thanks so much. >> thank you have a great day.
5:47 am
>> brian: our strategy right now, our game plan is to toss it over there. thank you. >> thank you. good morning let's get you caught up on your headlines we're following, and digging in with a fox news alert. disturbing violence among the border as an american teen is gunned down in mexico just south of texas. the 13-year-old from oklahoma was returning home from a holiday trip when an armed group opened fire on the family suv. the highway where it happened falls under the state departments do not travel warning issued last month. a stunning new report claims new york mayor bill deblasio intervened in the case of a woman charged with three anti-semitism crimes. tiffany harris is in a psych ward after her third arrest and the new york post reports the mayor's office asked a judge to look into her case because it created bad publicity for the administration. she was released after her second arrest as part of the cities new reform law. worshipers gathering at a texas church for the first sunday service a week after a gunman shot and killed two members.
