trips life, too. steve: talking about our country in first story. 6:00 here in new york city. we are starting with this. a sohio of strength. look at these images. wow, u.s. military launched over 50 fighter jets, the f-35 as in utah as tension escalates with iran. ainsley: country's revolutionary guard now says it will set ablaze places that are supported by the u.s. pete: it was 52 fighter jets specifically. what could that number represent? steve: hold on, didn't president trump mention 52 targets? pete: maybe. might be, you know. steve: 52 airplanes. ainsley: been planned for a while. pete: rick leventhal joins us from jerusalem about a deadly stampede at qassem soleimani funeral. rick? >> exactly. pete, ainsley and steve good morning. general killed. a massive turnout for the funeral and some sort of stampede happened and

iranian state tv is reporting at least 32 people are dead. trampled in that stampede at the funeral. the numbers of dead have been fluxiating throughout the hour. we will continue to keep an eye on developments there. crowds have been huge both today and yesterday at the funeral and the procession for general soleimani with estimates of a million or more people filling the streets there the mourning accompanied by angry rhetoric, including threats to set u.s. facilities on fire, chants of death to israel. and a vote by iran's parliament to officially designate the u.s. military a terrorist force after the targeted killing of the former leader of iran's revolutionary guard blamed by the u.s. for killing and maiming hundreds of u.s. troops and thousands of others. of course, president trump has promised a swift and overwhelming response if iran tries to retaliate and the hurt could be delivered in part by one of the u.s. military's newest weapons. you mentioned them lightning fighter jets, 52 of them.

making a dramatic elephant walk takeoff from the hill air force base in utah, rocketing into the sky one after another. fully armed and ready for battle. i have seen these jets up close, guys. they are very, very impressive. they are a squadron of f-35s from utah been he deployed to the middle east. there is now a fresh warning from the u.s. for ships in middle east waterways to be on the lookout for the possibility of attack from iranians on u.s. merchant ships in mideast water ways, guys. steve: rick leventhal live at our middle east news bureau with the latest. thank you very much. breaking news this morning. apparently the united states has told the foreign minister of iran, who wanted to go to the u.n. general assembly and security council meeting on thursday, you don't get a visa because of what is going on. apparently d.c. can deny

visas for security terrorism, and foreign policy reasons. and apparently it's one of those. because the fear was he would go to the united nations and then denounce the united states for what they did -- what we did with the airstrike that took out their top general. ainsley: what do you know about their squadron 388 squadron or fighter jets? pete: these are fully operational now. they're brand new part of our arsenal. the ability to reach further and more stealth capacity and pay load is larger than the past as well. just because they're taking off from utah doesn't mean they don't have global reach. and you are right. you pointed out that this exercise has been planned for months. but, maybe at the last minute they could have refined the exact number to 52. and if you are the iranian regime and you realize the capabilities of the united states of america. your rhetoric has consequences. ainsley: apparently aircraft war fighting capabilities after four years in the works. 388 squadron, already sent

one squadron over to the middle east. they have since returned and second squadron from that air force base is now deployed in the middle east. steve: the number certainly not only coincidental but symbolic with 52. ever since the airstrike took out their top general, if you have been watching television, you have been listening to people on the political left for the most part, they have been predicting dire consequences. world war iii. ainsley: adam schiff now wants congressional hearings. steve: i'm surprised it took him this long to come up with that. pete: shocking. steve: ben shapiro took a oot look at what is happening right now the calls and rhetoric, he says look, don't worry about this. this has been happening for a long time. iran has been chanting death to americans for 40 years. >> wait, wait. you mean they are holding rallies in tehran where they don't like the united states and death to america? this is brand new. i have never heard anything

like this before except every single year i have been alive and years before that since 1979. death to america is a thing. it's been a thing for quite a while and massive rallies where they burn american flags and talk about america as the great satan. that's nothing new. if you just discovered that the iranians don't like america, meaning the iranian government doesn't like america and they can get thousands of people out in the streets of tens of millions of people, shocker, it turns out they have been doing this for quite a while. pete: they sure have. the entire pressroom mills of the current iranian regime is islamic revolution and exportation of terrorism to advance their cause. these protests, do you know what they're? they are propaganda. they are hoping that american news outlets will splash across their pages how beloved this general was. if you actually look at the report. plenty of students and officials have been forced to attend these. there is a culture there if you don't support the ruling ayatollahs someone is looking out for you. just last november, thousands of iranians took

to the streets. did you see it? no because iran pulled the plug on the internet for five days unfortunately killed over 1500 iranian protesters, jailed over 7,000. if you are a dissident of this regime and you don't like what they're doing, there is no photograph for you on the cover. ainsley: don't forget they yelled death to america like ben was just saying. but they also say they want to wipe israel off the planet. this guy was a terrorist. we had someone on yesterday, pete, who said his militia, he ordered his militia to go out and a reporter came on who interviewed a family who was a product of his terrorism. he killed the wife. the son they took a drill and drilled hole noos his leg and he is 4 years old. pete: of course anything is justified in advancing their cause. the force that soleimani leads quudz force do you know what it stands for? jerusalem force. they believe in taking all of israel and wiping it off the map. steve: and while ever since last thursday into friday when this news broke that we had taken out their top general, that has gotten so much publicity around the

world. everybody goes he was a bad guy but -- and it's always a really big but donald trump was wrong to do that according to democrats. nikki haley had this observation about that assessment. watch. >> you don't see anyone standing up for iran. you are not hearing any of the gulf members. you are not hearing china. you are not hearing russia. the only ones that are mourning the loss of soleimani are our democrat leadership. and our democrat presidential candidates. no one else in the world because they knew that this man had evil veins. they knew what he was capable of and they saw the destruction and the lives lost based from his hand. we need to be completely behind the president. what he did, because every one of those country dries are watching our news media right now seeing what everyone is saying. and this is a moment of strength for the united states. it's a moment of strength for president trump. ainsley: keep in mind she was the governor of south carolina appointed by

president trump to become our u.s. ambassador. she knows these world leaders. shy has been in the room with these world leaders. she know what was we are up against. and she gets to see information that most of us don't. she said iran is shaking in their boots and they did not see this coming. pete: yeah. shame on the democrats for what they are doing typically pawn the motives of this president who said from the beginning he doesn't want to get entangled in middle eastern wars. america first doesn't mean starting wars with regimes. strong actions are a way to prevent war which he has said from the beginning. steve: there is a democrat that i saw on the fox news channel yesterday. a top democrat who actually said the president did exactly the right thing. that was joe lieberman who had al gore been elected president after inventing the internet he would have been vice president. pete: good credentials. ainsley: his credentials to the democrats. i warn you fellow democrats. americans aren't going to want to vote for a president who you are in favor of protecting soleimani measures are not going to

vote for you. they want security for their kids and family. steve: speaking of security. we are going to talk to the national security advisor. ron o'brien. 7:35. we have lots of questions. meanwhile yesterday if you saw this program you saw us recap the golden globes where ricki gervais who was called in to host for the fifth and final time, he did something that shocked a lot -- hi tim apple. including tim apple. [laughter] steve: taking shots at the hollywood elite. now, after that performance, hollywood is steamed. watch this. >> apple rolled into the tv game with a morning show, a superb drama. [. [cheers and applause] >> yeah. a suburb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing made by a company that runs sweat shops in china. you say you are woke the companies you work for unbelievable. apple, amazon, disney.

[laughter] if you win, right, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your god and [bleep] [laughter] pete: it was unbelievable. i was watching it live because i was watching football before it. i had to rewind it to actually believe it. he also said you have less education. steve: vanity fair writer said making fun of hypocritical celebrities is a right wing talking point. said his jokes were tired. the "l.a. times" said the last thing anyone needed was for the smirking master of ceremonies to reprimand them for having hope or taunt the room for trying to use their influence to change things for the better. ainsley: here are some of the other headlines ricky gervais makes fowl mouth

offensive return as golden globe's host. "the washington post" at the golden globes gervais' sharpest barb poked hollywood's piatty, nobody cared. ricky gervais probably noticed his comedy routine was essentially parroting right wing talking points. steve: how the f consider teasing huge corporations and the richest most privileged people in the world be considered right wing? pete: because if you are not part of the group think of the left, if you cut against political correctness, then you have to be a right winger, right? this has become the orthodoxy of the left. if you are a frey free thinker even like a liberal like a joe rogan or dave seinfeld or dave chapelle.

comedians that want to speak cultural truth uncomfortable for the air diet elite class you have to be a right winger? ainsley: they think if you don't go this far to the left, then you are right winger. and a lot of right wingers would be happy to be called. that is that a bad word? pete: i'm fine to be a white ringer. if you are a leftist it's a swear word. steve: comedy and writ and watce late night show all pretty much left wingers. for ricky gervais to get up there the biggest lecturn in the world on sunday night and make funnel of the left, the left didn't like it. what do you think friends@foxnews.com. also on facebook. ainsley: it was pretty funny if you haven't watched it. i suggest you do. pete: there was even more in there. steve: obviously you are not a writer for vanity fair. ainsley: i watched it on youtube yesterday. it was really funny. did you watch it, jillian? jillian: i watched it, yeah.

look at the averages, they are all within 20 points of each other. there is a real question of you who this is going to break out. i think this is baseball. tie goes to the runner and person with most cash that's bernie sanders. $35.5 million. the man had a heart attack three months ago and is he polling better than joe biden this is his race and opportunity to take iowa. spelled out even from this confusing poll result. steve: tony, the guy with the most cash is michael bloomberg. is he sitting thought new hampshire and iowa as well. ainsley: another b. steve: that's right another b. when you look at iowa what's interesting is elizabeth warren had been surging. now the one who is surge something bernie sanders and have you got to figure that he is taking a lot of her support and she does not like that. >> how could see? shy talked to some people in iowa political observers like craig robinson and others. it's the caucus system.

if you know your caucus is going to go a certain way you might as well be with the winner. elizabeth warren voters are bernie sanders voters. it's a question whether you like your socialism screaming or get off my lawn style. a question of two options. those voters written deed moving that wait a minute she is really the big loser in this. she mentions her 52 trillion-dollar healthcare plan and everything falls apart from there she lies about almost everything. she has come across beyond unlikeable in the last few months. and i don't know if there is anything she can do to get that back on track. and you take a look at new hampshire, she lives next door and she is not in first place this is bad times for the war written campaign. pete: very interesting. what's biden's path if he doesn't win early states and tons of cash later on super tuesday. very interesting to see. tony katz, leave it right there. thank you very much for your insight. ainsley: thank you, tony. >> you got it, guys. pete: nancy pelosi says house will vote on a resolution to limit trump's military power this week.

consultation. steve: i don't think they like that. house intel chair adam schiff tweeted out a dangerous and provocative decision to target a top iranian official for killing, threats to bomb cultural sites and use disproportionate force. these are the acts of a president with no functional national security process. congress must engage with hearings and constraints. shocking that he would say that. but will this ultimately undermine our troops? that's the big question. here to weigh in is fox news contributor and retired u.s. marine corps bomb tech joey jones. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: what do you make of those powerful democrats talking about how the president before he pulled the trigger didn't call him up and say hey, look what i'm doing? >> yeah. it's amazing. they all end up using the same words every time something happens. consultation is a buzz word this week. funny to see. listen, i want the american people to be more involved, especially having been in a war for two decades. i want accountability for our leaders. but, unfortunately politicians can't hold each

other accountable if all they are trying to do is throw each other under the bus. and that seems to be exactly what democrats are trying to do with president trump here. at the end of the day, as americans are marching steadily towards the front line with iran, our sons and daughters and war fighters, nancy pelosi is sending threat letters and trying to pitch a home run for the 2020 election. if she had a track record of doing what was objectively in the. [ they would talk about that put it up on the big screen. here is the thing, joey. the president and his spokespeople have talked about how there was an imminent threat and according to reuters, that

general that we took out last week, soleimani, had just had a strategy session ordering militia leaders in iraq to increase their attacks on americans in the region using new sophisticated weapons. so, and we heard from joint chiefs chair saying yesterday saying the attack was imminent. do you, as one of the people, you know, at the top of the spear, do you have a problem with the president acting on an imminent attack? >> no, no, not at all. it saves lives. we used to call the bush doctrine preemptive strike. we have enough intelligence to know something bad is going to happen so let's prevent it. otherwise why do we have operatives risking their lives every single day. mike pompeo was on "fox & friends" come on and say that imminent attack was the justification you could hear the alarms going off in d.c. democrats ready to take a turn from the democratic

media conglomerate pounce. as a war fighter if i'm on the grounds today is to go get some. take out an enemy and be happy doing it. my job is to know when and where not why. somewhere boots on the ground that's not on my mind. the political fite is back home. but as someone who has fought in a couple of wars and now 10 years older and a little bit more i do want to know in there is justification. maybe not the day after it happens. maybe give the president the opportunity to be commander-in-chief and then let congress do its job once the dust settles. steve: dust has settled a bit and congress is going to get their hearings -- rather their briefings from the intel community today and tomorrow. let's see what happens. joey, thank you very much. have a great day down there in dallas. >> absolutely. thank you. steve: 28 minutes before the top of the hour. look at these images. devastating wildfires burning out of control in australia. now warnings of a mega blaze. anna kooiman is live with the race to save wildlife coming up next. 10 republican senators are

but the house decided not to call him and get it adjudicated through the courts. >> whats that changed is it will be nearly impossible for a republicans not to allow him to testify. this is the guy who was at the heart beat of the president's decision. pete: why? >> we don't know what he is going to say. pete: why is it nearly impossible? house democrats refuse to do any number of things because they control the process. wife would republicans be compelled in this case? >> i think it will be a political blow back. it will be as if they are afraid they are afraid what he was going to say. he could say i was with president trump alone and the president said to me fill in the blank. whatever that is could force the president to take the stand and deny it. or he could say i was with the president, i told him i disagreed with this but he had the absolute right to do it and there was no harm, no foul. we don't know what he is going to say. no prosecutor is going to put a witness on the stand without knowing ahead of time what the witness is going to say. somebody has to interview

him. ainsley: what finance it's dismissed josh hawley and others get their way. >> that's not what the president wants. the president wants vindication on the merits. a dismissal here would mean that the prosecutors aren't ready the prosecutors haven't even been named yet. mrs. pelosi chooses the prosecutors. steve: judge, as it turns out yesterday mitch mcconnell said lisa murkowski on his side get the mold get the read back and then they decide. ultimately it becomes a majority vote count. the republicans will win. >> prosecutors say call john bolton, the republicans are going to overrule the chief justice because they frayed of what john bolton would say tremendous blow back. pete: they have a majority. they can call him if they wanted to. >> this is a search for the truth. if john bolton has

information. pete: democrats in the house searching for the truth. >> trial search for the truth. the impeachment is totally political. steve: all right, judge. let's see what happens. disagreement here on the couch. >> a pleasure, guys. pete: more than six months since president trump gave our veterans access to private healthcare outside of v.a. so how is it working out so far? we will ask v.a. secretary robert wilkie live on this program coming up next. steve: he is here. good morning. ♪ only in america ♪ where we dream as big as we want to ♪ we all get a chance ♪ see what your customers need,

date of the authorized now more than 2 million visits to the private sector for veterans across the country. the second thing and it's the one that's the least reported aspect of choice is that we have now opened you are isn't care to our veterans. so they are now on th -- urgente to our veterans. they have flu, cold, sprained ankles, that relieves the stress on tens of thousands of veterans. pete: they are now able to go to urgent chair instead of going x number of miles to go to a v.a. hospital. >> absolutely. i use your state of minnesota. someone from central and northern minnesota under the old way would be forced to drive 2 or 300 miles round trip to minneapolis and pass the mayo clinic on the way. pete: sure. >> that's nonsense. pete: you mentioned 2 million authorized which is a huge number. i hear from a lot of folks out there who still say certain hospital administrators, other people in the bureaucracy still want to be gate keepers

saying well you don't qualify or need more information. how do you get around that? >> well, it's process. in an organization as large as ours, with 400,000 employees, there is always going to be someone who doesn't get the word or someone who doesn't get on board. the inertia of choice is changing v.a., regardless of what any one individual across our 170 hospitals might say. pete: how are you -- how are vets being introduced to the idea of more choice after so many years of the same system? >> right. well, we have contacted all 9.5 million. we have used veteran service organizations to get the word out. you can go over to times square and their massive billboards up saying choose v.a. and gives you the number to make sure that you know that this service is out there. pete: the president has talked about choice 2.0. choice 3.0. new iterations. right now the v.a. is still approving the option. the gold standard is the veteran makes that choice. >> absolutely.

pete: still on that path. >> we are. veterans at the center of their heck, not the prerogatives of bureaucracy. the other thing that i would say is that we'll finally in choice, too, create a system that should have been in place years ago where we help the families of vietnam veterans who are taking care of those warriors at home. they have been left out for many reasons and president trump finally rights that wrong. pete: interesting. i have got to ask about a news item that came up a couple months ago the v.a. inspector general reported that there were va employees canceling orders for diagnostic tests, x-rays, black logs and break downs in management. with the new accountability rules the v.a. has how has that been addressed. >> the goodening under this president we have released 8,000 employees not serving veterans. the second part of that ig report is that they didn't say that no -- veterans were not harmed. it took place over two years ago. mission takes care of a lot

of that. because mission sets the standard to get our veterans out of the private sector. pete: mission act is what triggered all of the choice. keep fighting for more choice. >> absolutely. pete: sometimes v.a. gets in the way of guys fighting for that. >> good to see you. pete: big show still ahead, congressman kevin mccarthy, dan crenshaw, lara logan and larry elder all here live ♪ ♪ ♪ stop dancing around the pain that keeps you up again, and again.

officially designate the u.s. military a terrorist force for taking out the leader of iran's revolutionary guard. a man blamed by the u.s. for killing and maiming hundreds of u.s. troops and thousands of others. president trump has promised a swift and overwhelming response if iran tries to retaliate and he has got the tools to do it, including the f-35 a-2 fighter jet. 52 of them as you mentioned, rocketing in the sky one after another, a so-called elephant walk takeoff from the hill air force base in utah fully armed and ready for battle. a squadron of f-35s from utah is now deployed in the region and fox news has confirmed that the air force is also six 52 bombers in the indian ocean. and concerns over the possible retaliatory effects from iran have also spread to the waterways in the mideast a warn fro to the u.s.

even just a few years the iranians have been escalating dramatically and systematically as well. it started with seized oil tankers. attacks on saudi oil facilities. remember, they embarrassed our u.s. navy by actually capturing a number of sailors and posting that all over the internet. all right. then we went on to shooting down our drones and attacking our bases and actually confronting and attacking our embassy. so, you know, we have to be careful with our terminology here. iranians are not talking about responding. they are talking about continuing to escalate. we are the ones who had to respond to that. we had to disrupt that escalation that was taking place and fully justified in doing so. think be not principled when they look at this problem they want to be against whatever donald trump is doing. use overheated terminology like world war iii when they know that's completely

dishonest. there isn't a false choice between doing nothing continuing getting punched in the face and world war iii ground war. there is a lot in between and they know that but they are being dishonest and trying to, you know, spin everybody into a tizzy just to get the point across. pete: being dishonest about president trump, count me as shocked. now, congressman, i have to ask, you just mentioned terminology, words really do matter in situations like this senator bernie sanders used a particular word talking about the strike of soleimani. >> this guy was -- as wa bad as he was an official of the iranian government. if russia does that russia has been implicated with putin with a assassinating dissidents. once you in the business of assassination you unleash very, very terrible forces. pete: now president trump is like putin and committing assassinations? he is very intentional about

saying that. >> bernie called him a lot of things first time called him putin. legally speaking, bernie is way off base here. it's not considered assassination if it's a general military target in this case a military target that is also in charge of a designated terrorist organization who is actively committing attacks against us. so, this is not. pete: why does he say that, congressman? >> oh, well, because. when you are trying to disagree and land political points against the president with whatever -- you use whatever language you believe has the largest emotional effect on the people. assassination is one of those words. ainsley: iraqi parliament voted for our forces to leave iraq. we are being told that the administration says they are not going to do it. drafting potential iraq sanctions just in case the country does force our troops out. they want to have those in waiting in case something happens.

the defense secretary mark esper said he said there has been no decision to leave iraq, period. what do you think? should we stay or should we go. >> i think there is a lot to lose if we one of the games we havgains we havemade in the . iran would have a strong upper hand if the u.s. suddenly pulled out. ultimately if iraqi people want us out. we have to abide by that but that decision is not clear yet. yes, the parliament -- keep a couple things in mind. iraqi people have been protesting the iranian influence in the government for the last three months. vigorously protesting that the prime minister has stepped down. okay. this is an executive order, annual executive agreement between iraq and the u.s. and the particle. vote was significant as a way to quell public opinion but it doesn't mean there is a final decision made yet.

we are still waiting to see. steve: indeed. we would like to change topics and talk about the p.c. culture. we don't your viewing on sunday night included the the golden globes. ricky gervais got push back because he was taking shots at the hollywood elites including apple and amazon and places like that. here he is, you know, taking on hollywood while at the same time they look on in horror wondering who invited this skunk to the garden party. watch. apple rolled into the morning show with a pub bush drama.

everybody thinks come up here and make your uninformed high minded political statements. you are here because you are actors and we. here's it's thing. get serious for a second. if we are going to end the culture war. we have to start sharing certain things in our culture. that has traditionally been things like hollywood and and comedy. we need to get back to that. that's become divisive. and it's the fault fault of hollywood elites they go up on stage and make divisive comments and make fun of 50% of the population and then call it a right wing talking point when they themselves are criticized that's no way to heal. pete: ricky gervais is not a -- a lot of medians. steve: i will make the jokes nobody else will. pete: that are actually funny that america laughs at. he has been called a right winger as if that's a bad word.

how do you get out of that box? >> the hollywood elite will never let him out of that box. those videos went absolutely viral. and i think it was 100,000 likes within minutes on what i saw on the youtube video. so there is a hunger for this kind of you know, readjustment to reality for holiday. and hollywood. they need to hear the truth. ainsley: don't tell us how to vote and how to think. you live in a totally different world. no one is jealous of all the money that they have. most people aren't because they support capitalism. these guys work hard and memorize their lines and very talented. pete: they memorize their lines. don't get up there and tell us thousand live our lives. steve: congressman, you know better than anybody the first time we talked to you was after "saturday night live" took a shot at you and invited you on and that all worked out okay. >> it did.

and even though that was a little microbattle, right? that skit the reason i got made fun of was a skit geared at republicans. "saturday night live" has democrats and republicans. that particular night they were going after republicans. if you look at the late night show they target conservatives. can we share a culture together or not? we obviously don't share our politics and that's fine. we are not supposed to. but if we can't share our culture, too. our nation is going to get ripped apart. hollywood has been a culprit of this. in fact, they have been a driving force of this phish yofizzfizz sur within our culture. ricky done much more important service to our country than make our laugh. he is illuminating their hypocrisy in a way that. how many of those actors went up and made some annoying political speech

after that? maybe they did. pete: a few of them did. it may have been muted a little bit. my downstream from culture. culture is already where we are divided and politics is the last quarter. i hope it's recoverable. weaponize being a weapon. which is hard to come back from. steve: thank you for joining us today from texas. pete: thank you. appreciate it. good to be with you all. ainsley: hand it over to jillian who has headlines for us. jillian: good morning. we begin with this story we are following. an american soldier killed in the terror attack in kenya is now identified army specialist henry mayfield jr.'s remains will return home this week. he and two contractors were killed when al-shabaab attacked the aferred. his family is devastated. >> this was a senseless act of violence that has changed our lives forever. >> he was a great man. we love him and miss him. >> mayfield was 23 years

get to a truth that all sides could actually embrace as opposed to right now where it's mired in ambiguity? >> yeah. the biggest key right now is how much pressure is applied to the guards that were charged. they were indicted. the only one so far. it may seem like they are the scapegoats and in some ways they are. but they are the only ones that can piece together what occurred in those moments. why the body was moved. against protocol. why there were so many monumental failures. and as a prosecutor, i would be really concerned about some of the facts that are in this case that i either want to flush out with, you know, witnesses that were there or apply the pressure that i can to try to get them to talk to us and tell us if there is anything more that's happening here. because we want to know when you have the highest profile criminal defendant and you have the largest budget of any agency in the department of justice and you can't keep him safe?

while he is incarcerated. steve: highest profile prisoner in america at the time and everything went wrong. "60 minutes" piece on sunday they talked to jeffrey epstein's family would like more information but because they are prosecuting the guards at this point, the department of justice says no, we are not going to give you any of that stuff. one of the very damning pieces of evidence is the fact that while they say that he hung himself with one of those sheets in some of that video we just showed the folks, there is very clearly a sleep apnea machine with all sorts of wires. cords. why would he hang himself with a sheet which was a little more complicated than just taking that electrical wire and wrapping it around his throat and doing it that way? >> it seems like a lot of effort. you look at where he is supposedly. steve: there is the american right there. >> or pushed off of the bunk bed and there were pills and bottles on top that didn't

seem to be disrupted. furniture that wasn't disrupted. the broken bones, three places. so, look, i also many very discouraged that the doj is not sharing more with the family. the crimes victim's rights act requires the doj give them a lot of the information. i don't think they have to hide behind this is an ongoing investigation to share -- i mean, the victims of the crime at hand are the family members of jeffrey epstein. whether you like him or not. his family are the victims of his suicide or homicide if it occurred. i would like to see them share that information and they certainly can under the crime victims rights act. pete: the longer you hang on to it the longer the flourish. >> thank you. steve: 28 manipulation before the top of the hour. watch this. whoa. frightening crash the cars

the intel that we h the information we had which we believe was very strong shows that soleimani and those he was plotting with were looking to kill american diplomats and soldiers in significant numbers in the coming days. that's why the president authorized the successful operation thats with undertaken by the u.s. military. pete: absolutely. go ahead. ainsley: ambassador cials the president was tweeting he said iran will never have a nuclear weapon. how does the death of this terrorist general change our path and keeping iran from getting a nuclear bomb? >> soleimani was involved in the early days of the iranian program. he was not supposed to be traveling outside of iran under u.s. sanctions because of his role in the nuclear program we think it will have a effect. peace through strength. deterrent to future iranian action that has been prescribed by the u.n. and international community. pete: mr. ambassador, we know that this president ran on scrapping iran deal.

and we knew the iraniansians were cheating on it before and certainly cheating on it now. they used the death of the terrorist soleimani as an excuse, justification to pretend they weren't cheating on it. and now they are saying they are blowing through the parameters of the deal. what specifically has changed as far as the white house's approach toward iran to enforce what the president tweeted they will never get a nuclear bomb if they are going to sprint now to try to get one. >> i can tell you we have been in touch with our friends and allies in europe and the region, there is absolutely zero appetite for iran to have a nuclear weapon. that won't happen. our u.n. resolutions against iran having a nuclear weapon. nonproliferation treaty prohibit them from getting a nuclear weapon. we think there is going to be a broad. pete: the u.n. is never going to enforce it. the u.n. doesn't drop bomb is the u.s. prepared in any means necessary to stop that. >> i think the president made it very clear that iran will not have a nuclear

weapon and i think we have got a lot of friends and allies in the region and europe committed to that. that will come. steve: speaking of the united nations, mr. ambassador, on thursday there is going to be a u.n. security council meeting. zarif from iran wanted to go but apparently last night the u.s. state department denied his visa. why is that? >> i don't think secretary pompeo thought that this was the right time for mr. zarif to come to the united states. whenever he comes to new york, he spreads propaganda. i actually find it somewhat ironic that mr. zarif wants to take advantage of the diplomatic niceties to come to new york and u.n. when his revolution was born in the taking of 52 american diplomats hostage in iran and holding them for 444 days. that undermined every principle of diplomacy iranians. that's how they started their revolution is taking diplomats hostage. i think he will be fine

missing that meeting. can he certainly call into the meeting or participate by video teleconference and his voice will be heard if he wants to be heard. ainsley: before the revolution women didn't have to cover their faces. they were highly educated. ben rhodes who was -- he was deputy national security advisor under president obama. he said that voting for president trump is dangerous to our national security. this is what he tweeted. he said we have a president in the midst of a full meltdown during a major crisis of his own making. a vote for this man is dangerous for our national security. what are your thoughts. >> ben rhodes is a communications guy in the obama administration. that was his job to do political communications for the president. you know, and in my last job i spent two years bringing back hostages. most of whom were taking in the prior administration and as those of you in the media who probably didn't know i made it my policy not to criticize the prior administration. i'm not going to criticize the obama administration. but i'm going to say that we have a fundamental disagreement with ben rhodes and people who think like

ben rhodes. the president believes that weakness is provocative and i think we have seen that throughout history. we believe in peace through strength like ronald reagan did. something that's been a corner stone of president trump's foreign policy and national security policy. we believe that a strong america deters our aggressors. we believe a weak america and america that's willing to appease our aggressors and invites more violence against our citizens. we are committed to a peace through strength foreign policy. that's a disagreement that we have with ben rhodes and people that take a different view. he is certainly one of them. steve: ambassador, before you leave and you mentioned a moment ago that some of that imminent intel involved iranian interests striking out at american diplomats in that region. i think that is something we had not heard before. what else can you tell us about that? >> well, i can tell you that there were plans being made and soleimani was in the midst of that plotting. that's why he was traveling in the region in damascus and beirut and baghdad to

conspire with people to contained diplomat soldiers, airmen marine, coast guardsmen. we were -- the president was very concerned about that activity. soleimani and iranian regime knew exactly what they were doing. what they did was underestimated the president and his restraint. they downed several drones. they attacked a ramco. indirect fire incidents on our facilities in the last several months. the president has been very restrained. they took that restraint and that goodwill as the president tried to open negotiations with the iranians. remember he offered to speak with them unconditionally. they took that as a sign of weakness. i think they understand this president means business. they made a bad mistake in how they read his restraint, which was admirable. pete: yep. soleimani was not on a friendship tour around the middle east that's for sure. mr. ambassador, thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. ainsley: jillian has more

time foheadlines for us. jillian: 60,000 people gone missing in mexico amid the mexican drug war. the disappearances date back to 2006 when the military started cracking down on drug cartels. the number was previously believed to be about 40,000. more than 5,000 people went missing just last year. the u.s. state department recently issued a travel advisory in mexico due to crime and kidnapping. the final lawsuit filed by the parents of kate steinle has been dismissed. they sued the federal government for hiring the park ranger whose stolen gun was used to kill steinfully 2015. jose zarate fired the shot that killed steinle on the pier. the five time will national was acquitted. htwo people seriously hurt in a wild chain reaction crash. wild pickup truck hits a car

steve: oklahomoh yeah. there is an election. 2020 democrat cory booker going it bat for stacey abrams. you will remember she lost the race for governor in 2018 for governor.

and said this. watch. >> it was not a free and fair election. it was not fair to the thousands that were put on hold with their registrations. pete: cory booker took to twitter yesterday writing quote if it wasn't for mass voter suppression, stacey abrams would be governor of georgia right now. we need a modern-day voting rights act. ainsley: why does the left struggle so much with accepting defeat? here to react is radio talk show host larry elder. larry, weigh in on this. >> isn't it amazing how democrats absolutely despise donald trump conspiracy theories but they are perfectly happy to embrace their own. this is another one. this has been fact checked by politifact and they said there is no evidence whatsoever that voter suppression caused stacey abrams to lose this race. she lost it by 54,000 votes. the percentage of eligible voters actually was higher than it normally is in mid year elections. the percentage of black voters was higher than the percentage of those who voted in 2016 election. there is no evidence.

and a local georgia professor said there is no evidence whatsoever that there is any kind of validity to that argument. it's in the same category as the fact that a majority of democrats, believe it or not, believe the russians not only interfered but that they literally changed vote tallies even though there is zero evidence of that also the same kind of liberal mantra conspiracy theories that say women make 28 cents on the dollar than any man. any self-respecting employer would fire the men, hire the women and pocket the difference. it's the same conspiracy theory. bipartisan commission set up to look into that. he they had the evidence was wrong nobody lied. the democrat majority believes george w. bush lied us into the war. pete: democrats claim time and time again the republicans are guilty of voter suppression. whether it's voter id laws or cleaning up the roles of people who shouldn't be on there because they haven't

qualified. they always say targeting minority communities. >> there was a recent study by professors from yale and stanford that looked at voter i.d. laws to figure out whether or not they suppressed the minority vote. turned out it had no effect whatsoever. in 2008, black voters for the first time eligible black voters voted at higher rate than white voters. if there is voter suppression, how did that happen? pete: how condescending is it also as if being a minority or black or hispanic you don't know or can't get an id card? the mindset itself. >> that's right. and in the case of georgia, you had a pending application that was questioned, you could still show up at the polls with a photo i.d. and still vote and have it sorted out later on. so there is no evidence whatsoever. they lost. same as hillary is blaming everybody other than the great white pumpkin for her lost. they just can't stand losing. steve: it's politics, isn't it. >> it's politics, yeah. democrat politics. ainsley: why do they want to

spread that message? why not say look, fair and square, i lost by 54,000 votes? >> the answer is they want to retain that traditional 95% near monolithic black vote. they get that by telling black people that you are being shafted because of your race. you are a victim of institutional racism. structural racism. systemic racism. choose your favorite adjective. that's how democrats roll. they want to get black people angry. want black people to believe they are victims. they pull that lever for the democratic party because the democratic party wears the white hat. the republican party wears the black hat. that's the deal. steve: larry elder joining us from l.a. thank you very much. pete: well said. steve: we have one more hour and it's going to be a good one, after this. ♪ib ur car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> maybe she's just very busy. republicans in the senate fight to go get the articles dismissed as democrats call for witnesses for. ainsley: griff jenkins live in nation's capitol saying mitch mcconnell that is the votes to block those demands. >> good morning, let's do it this way, mcconnell needs 51 notes and he's confident that he has them among moderates, susan collins, lisa murkowski and mitt romney. >> democratic colleague should not plow away american unity in some bizarre competition to see who does likes the president more, it should not disdain through truly partisan impeachment process and toying around with it.

>> speaker pelosi holds record for holding articles of impeachment, democrats are feeling emboldened national security adviser john bolton. >> he would be required to vote or you will say i'm running away from the facts, i'm scared of the facts or go for a cover-up. >> schumer weighing on nancy pelosi will send articles, but there's little indication mcconnell would have the necessary math or desire to get that through because it would take 67 votes, meanwhile the house returns this afternoon so it is all eyes on speaker nancy pelosi to find out if we are going to get a delivery any time soon, guys.

steve: griff, thank you very much. ainsley: glad he's asked that. good morning, congressman. >> good morning. ainsley: do you think nancy pelosi will hand articles any time soon? >> she said before we left we had to pass the fastest impeachment, we know it's not serious, we know the case is not strong and they want to change the rules, remember the house, they had to opportunity to ask any witness they wanted, they did not have the clinton and nixon rules, they did not give the minority to ask witnesses and now they want to change the course, it just shows they have nothing on their agenda, she said she would change the agenda in 2020, no, we are right back at impeachment one more time. pete: maybe she spent the whole christmas new year's break praying about it because this was a prayerful process, maybe she received revelation or is she waiting for something else to change, is this a delay tactic in the hopes that this

gets better, does she think she has leverage on mitch mcconnell? >> the senate didn't have leverage on the house, what's happening here, she's realizing how weak her case s she's realizing that there's nothing there, she's realizing her own requirements to move impeachment, overwhelming, bipartisan, with the end of the day the only bipartisan vote was against impeachment, her conference is smaller than a year ago because a member had left her conference by the way she treated the constitution in the last year. so i mean, i think she's realizing what a weak case she's had and looking around for an agenda that america wants and al green said they keep impeaching him, new freshmen gave them the majority on the day they were sworn in said they were going to impeach him, if america wants to continue with impeachment keep

them in majority. steve: i'm confused, congressman, in the report by griff jenkens he was talking about how people are paying attention, john bolton will appear to testify if subpoenaed. that's what he told the house. >> yeah, you know what the democrats in the house that had all the power to pick who they want they never subpoenaed john bolton, they did not want him as a witness. the house is the one that moves impeachment, the senate is the one that judges on it, it's not a place for the senate to have more witnesses just as schumer said back to clinton, remember where we are where we are today because the house did not have a fair process, if the house had the clinton-nixon rules the impeachment would have never moved forward, they had to game the system and trying to change in the senate. steve: i know you do internal polling all of the time, right of center poll that suggested in swing districts, democrats,

independents not so happy about the fact that their representative who is are democrats voted to impeach the president? >> no, they promised one thing, that they would focus, work together and they did something fund innocently different and did impeachment on the president that most scholar, jonathan who did not vote for the president, the only abuse of power would be moved by the democrats, what's going to happen here, the voters which the democrats have the majority, 30 members who currently sit in seats that president trump carried, 13 of them i called him ruby red, he will carry them again, they have to answer and the speaker hold the papers, there was no urgency because there was no case. >> let's go to another topic in the news, decisive killing of terrorist killer in seleimani in

iraq, has been killing our troops for quite some time yet the democrats quickly jumped to politics accusing the president for not having information or overstepping bounds as commander in chief in war power resolution. adam schiff are pushing to bring a resolution forward to limit the president's power, this is what adam schiff tweeted, a dangers and provocative decision, disproportionate force, these are the acts of a president with no functional national security process, congress must engage with hearings and constraints, so adam schiff said more hearings on the commander in chief's prerogative. >> you know, he's the chairman of the intel committee, maybe had he spent the last year working on that, trying to protect us from what was happening in iran from the bombing of the takers, saudi arabia taking down our drone,

instead of taking the committee and impeachment he would never do comment, today in gang of 8 we would have a briefing, i happened to be with the president in mar-a-lago the night it took place, the man had killed more than 600 americans, this man had continue today rise throughout the region to create problems not only for us but the rest of the world, the world is safer today because this president took action and he stopped something from creating in the future. i don't think it's a place for them to play politics. ainsley: what do you know about what he was planning to do, what can you tell us? he was planning to attack sailers. >> remember what they have done, they had already killed an american, they had already gone over our embassy, what more would they need to do for us to act, that's the real question, what do the democrats want? what do they think proportionate is when 600 american men, servicemen were already killed

by this individual what is proportionate to them? >> what message does it send majority leader, if democrats talking about world war iii and limiting the president's military powers before, in the middle of this call it disagreement, showdown, whatever you want, what message does this send to iran, the democrats going after the president as opposed to calling them out for what they do? >> one thing they should understand, america should speak with one voice, not only was a hear theme iran but north korea and any other bad planers the world that if you attack an american we will respond in the appropriate manner, remember what the president's actions were when they shut down drone that was unmanned, he did not attack or provoke, gave them an opportunity to disarm, what did they, do escalated, they attacked embassy, they killed an american, that's where he had the red line in the sand, it is appropriate for what the

president had done, it is unappropriate for what the democrats are saying today, they should speak with one voice, they should be inside the hearings and they should work together to make america safer instead of focusing on impeachment, remember, this is a president that's trying to remove terrorists from the world and all the democrats are trying to do is remove the president. >> well, it is an election year and it is a political job, nobody knows it better than that than you. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you for having me. pete: let's toss it over to jillian mele that has headlines. jillian: overnight 40 people killed and more than 200 hurt at stampede of funeral of iran's military leader, qassem soleimani. designates the american military as a terror organization, our military not backing down and

safe spaces and my buddy, period, he points out comedy is only arena where there's still some resemblance. there's a list given out by the university of california of prohibited micro aggressions, in other words, comments that you don't realize but really are racist, here is an example of something that you cannot say at a university california campus, you can say there's only one race, the human race. [laughter] >> one of the most beautiful sentiments a -- that's right, it's on their list, so what you saw with ricky gervais was what we talk in no safe spaces, they needed safe space, actors, beverly hilton didn't have one,

when robert de niro gets up and says f trump, using the f word, screaming on the top of his lungs like a craze child, oh, the media say nothing, but if a guy says something, you know, i would have mentioned all all the actors but test mostly white. pete: not diverse enough, it's powerful. let's play a quick clip from your film safe spaces. >> free speech is free on campuses unless you're hearing ideas you don't like. >> resistance to violent hate speech is not another act of hate, it's act of love. >> free speech was never meant to protect love speech. that's not the point. pete: fantastic film that people

need to see, do you think actors actually understood what ricky gervais was saying or for a lot of them it went over their head? >> they live in a bubble and did understand that he was doing something that they are allowed to do and that's have the moral high ground. not liberals but all on the left is -- you is drown in it and so they were put on the spot, i couldn't believe it, if isis started to scream you would contact your agent, it's true that it's painful. [laughter] pete: stop sharing all your information, most of you have gone to school less years than greta thunberg. thank you for no safe spaces, al

kill him if he was talking to us, so this is the kind of people that you're talking about and they need to be protected. steve: another clip, here you're talking to some of the people that the object of the documentary and apparently the cartel said don't talk to laura logan because she's the bad guy, watch this. >> she's obviously distressed and scared and alone. >> a lot of times they tell them we are the bad guys. >> who are telling these people that you're the bad guys? >> the cartel, sometimes people have been stashed in places for weeks before they cross. >> in stashed houses. >> they will not cross until they pay, for the cartel it's just a number. they just see the dollar sign. they will make the money and that's it. they have control of everything, they know what's happening around the river completely. >> the cartel is telling people in that part of the country stay away from those guys, they are the bad guys?

encountered the police force or law enforcement that operates to the standard. >> the two that i interviewed, one was 12 when she was brought from her family and the other 13, they told me and their pimp told me that. >> their families let them go, they take -- pete: you went to places in this film where cameras haven't been where you were told to leave for your safety and the safety of the town, what's another aspects that folks don't understand about this ugly trade? >> well, to me it's just staggering that in new york city, right, because there's a direct pipeline from that particular town in méxico, to brooklyn, if you live in brooklyn and you're walking home from work in the evenings, you should know that you're walking past buildings where girls like that are being raped every single day, girls like that are being held as prisoners.

ainsley: you can also be grabbed and sent down there, has that ever happened? >> i asked the pimp who was surprising frank, you can see it in the series, i couldn't believe it. i said to him, you know, every request i asked he really answered and i said how much do you get for a girl, how old are the girls, he said normally like them about 14, 15 and i said, why, because you get more money for them, than 17 and 18, he said virgins and he said, no, you get much more if they're virgins. where is your biggest marketing, new york city. sex trafficking all over in the united states, something that homeland security investigations created separate trafficking unit just for this town, so many victim that is come through this town right here in new york city. steve: you can see it at fox nation, the border crisis, new
