tweeted a photo of the discovery. it's certainly not the experience we strive for. obviously. but, hey, you get a free waffle with your waffle maker. jillian: no one would eat that. rob: probably a little stale. might have to heat it up. jillian: have a good day. [bagpipes] ♪ [bagpipes] ♪ [bagpipes] steve: you are looking at the new jersey state band known as pipes and drums blue and gold playing bells of dunns lane. today is national law enforcement appreciation day

and nobody appreciates law enforcement more than us. ainsley: we are so grateful for all the work that they do. it's wonderful to live in this city. we were talking earlier, some of my friends here. including y'all, about how wonderful it is that our city here embraces law enforcement. it's like nothing i have ever seen before. brian: well, not everybody and we have some video to show it. ainsley: some people are not in favor of law enforcement but overall the people in new york love our law enforcement and love our first responders. steve: and people of america do. what they are suggesting on law enforcement day is, if you can wear blue. also, you could write a card, drop a card at local police station. saying hey, i appreciate what you do to keep our family safe. and if you see a police officer today, say thank you. ainsley: i didn't think about that. i have a blue coat to go outside and red dress to be patriotic. you are right i should have worn a blue dress today to support law enforcement. steve: as you get dressed today think about it. brian: we also have costume

change much like cher throughout the show. the iranian military intended to kill american troops with targeted missile attacks, according to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. steve: apparently early morning defense systems now created helping our service members help them stay safe. ainsley: rick leventhal joins us live from jerusalem as we learn new details about the strikes. hey, rick. >> good morning, ainsley, steve and brian. we are learning more about the missiles and seeing first images of the damages. both sides seem to be standing down there. are still concerns over where we go from here. the pentagon now says at least 16 missiles were launched by the iranians. some appear to be liquid fueled short range guided ballistic missiles. capable of carrying 650-pound warheads. images show several buildings took direct hits but most missiles hit open areas or descrureckets designed to hold equipment and not troops. the prime minister said the iranians warned him before the strikes allowing iraqi

troops to scramble into the bunkers. iraqis tipped off u.s. forces but they were already in a defensive posture and there were zero casualties. >> i believe, based on what i saw and what i know is that they were intended to cause structural damage, destroy vehicles and equipment and aircraft and to kill personnel. >> iran's leadership says the ultimate goal is forcing u.s. troops out of the region there are thousands of american boots on the ground in iraq. their biggest threats are militias. iranian proxies who may act on their own. >> we're receiving some encouraging intelligence that iran is sending mess sandals to those very same militias, not to move against american targets or civilians. we hope that that message continues to echo. we are sending a very clear message as we did with those five airstrikes we will not tolerate violence. >> last night the president spoke with prime minister of

israel, benjamin netanyahu. we are told the two leaders discussed critical, bilateral, regional issues. steve, ainsley, brian. brian: a lot of moving parts, rick. thanks so much. and so far they said the next phase that people thought if this was not successful the iranians would be going for our allies and, of course, you think about israel right away. vice president mike pence will be on our show live at 7:35 eastern time. so make sure you don't miss that. so i thought it was very interesting with the foreign minister said and wanted to speak here at the united nations but didn't. we told him you might as well stay home, it wouldn't be a good idea. steve: no visa. brian: we don't seek escalation of war but defend ourselves against any aggression. we know yesterday they thought this was concluded. and evidently it was also encouraging to know that we got notice and a heads up from the iraqis. we also heard chatter where they were going to hit. and we were also able to get five or six minutes notice to get all of our troops into bunkers. ainsley: shows how amazing our intel and military is overseas and here on u.s. soil. the president yesterday we

told you during the morning show he was going to speak. steve: yep. ainsley: he ended up speaking in the morning but after our show. he addressed the nation from the grand foyer of the white house. i love that he came out before he even said good morning to our country. he said as long as i'm president of the u.s. iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. listen to more that he said. >> iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. the missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration. iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned. iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions. i am going to ask nato to become much more involved in the middle east process. to the people and leaders of iran, we want you to have a future and a great future, one that you deserve.

the united states is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it. steve: so he did say that before he said good morning. iran is never going to get a nuclear weapon, but we knew that because he had said that all along. he did note that barack obama's nuke deal is essentially what put the dough in their pockets to build and buy the weapons that they tried to kill us with. ainsley: not happy with that. steve: right. ultimately what it comes down to a lot what he said there was summarized with that soundbite montage said to get nato more involved. no regime change. when the mullahs would love. he is going to try to impose new sanctions on them and he would like some sort of a new international deal, the world vs. iran. ainsley: i like that he addressed the iranian people. whether or not they ever find that out, i don't know, because they have state-run television over there. steve: saying 80 americans were killed by the attacks which were not true which would suggest they are not going to do anything else.

ainsley: iranian people we want you to be successful. we want -- you deserve a bright future. but he said you can never have peace or stability if iran continues to be violent and hateful and want war. he also had a message for other countries. iran has to abandon nuclear mission and time for the u.k., for germany, france, russia and china to recognize this reality and help us all come to the table to negotiate. brian: he already picked up the phone and talked to nato. i don't love bringing up the previous administration. just i didn't like when president obama brought up president bush. steve: but it's true. brian: how do you know. always a dumb war. as people are missing limbs and no longer can see or missing legs and here it's a dumb war they lost their limbs in. steve: $150 billion to buy those weapons. brian: you have got to bring people together as the president and continue to take shots at president obama three and a half years later doesn't make any sense. steve: because, brian, i think he is trying to point out that barack obama's policy of essentially what the republicans call

appeasement didn't work. ainsley: trying to point out the fact that we are not as dependent on them for oil and energy because back then we were more depend denting on them and they were negotiating with us over and over and over with john kerry trying to figure out how much money to give iran. we finally gave them $150 billion not to mention the cash found on shipping containers. the president is just saying some of that money might have been used. we definitely used that money to help fund their government some of that money might have been used. brian: that's fine. we all know that 40 years of failed policies. you could easily say the iranian deal was not something we are in favor. this is where we are at right now as opposed to getting everybody back into their corners to fight it out. meanwhile, talk about fighting. that's exactly what's happening. among interesting people. not just republicans, but democrats on democrats when it comes to impeachment, they are looking to pressure mitch mcconnell to call witnesses and make this a big trial. mitch mcconnell, i don't know if you have met him, he is not budging. watch. >> there will be no haggling with the house over senate procedure.

we will not cede our authority to try this impeachment. the house' democrats turn is over. brian: they haven't. nancy pelosi is holding onto the articles of impeachment. meaning the usmca or nothing else prescription drug plans is getting done. and the democrats are now showing that they are fed up with the speaker. ainsley: she is so worried. she wants to -- the house to vote on this war powers resolution instead have you got all these democrats that are now going against nancy pelosi saying listen, hand over the articles of impeachment and 3450 move on nancy including dianne feinstein, richard blumenthal, chris coons and joe manchin. steve: they are on the record send it to the senate it's time. via tweet she said i don't see what good a delay does. joe manchin said time to move on. jon tester said ready for the trial. chris coons says time to get it on. it makes them look back. elise stefanik who is a congresswoman from upstate

new york says, you know what? nancy pelosi was saying come on, we have got to vote for this. it's urgent. we have got to do the impeachment. of course now not so urgent. take a look at this. watch. here she is last night with sean. >> pelosi has been exposed and the impeachment dam is breaking. we need to keep the pressure up. because she has no authority over the senate. so it is apply you a accommodatioyou aaccommodation s after urging the american people take this vote on arbitrary schedule. the real reason why she is holding back she doesn't want to expose the coordination that we know happened between adam schiff and the whistleblower. brian: we know. this nothing gets done until it's done. nobody understands exactly what nancy pelosi is up to. and everything is on hold. so i thought originally she thought there was going to be more evidence to come out that was going to bolster the case. i think we saw some of that nobody cared. it's time to move on. the president has already said i don't need to call

witnesses. i agree with you mr. mcconnell. big debate among republicans should they add house members to this president's legal team. ainsley: do you know what everyone cared about yesterday. this. look at the front cover of the. steve: megxit. ainsley: meghan and harry made a shocking announcement on insta gram they are going to step down as members of the royal family. steve: the keep found out she was watching tv. number one topic at the doocy house last night. ainsley: everyone wants to be a princess. steve: she is princess. and what's she doing? i'm moving to canada? really. ainsley: this is so funny. smoking cigarette. hair in rollers. drinking bants blue ribbon. steve: they want to make their own money. ainsley: maybe she will go back to acting. brian: prince andrew was forced out.

these guys leave. who is going to be left? they have to adopt people to keep the royal family. if you want to be adopted by the royal family go ahead 1-800-royals. ainsley: don't give the numbers away just tell me. jillian, can you believe it? jillian: i'm very in to this. i can't wait to hear more details. steve: so many people are. jillian: get you caught up on a story we have been following. we telling you about it yesterday. enougnow we have new details. pilots of doomed plane never called for help. the pilots tried to fly the burning plane back to the airport when it crashed in tehran. all 176 people on board were killed. the crash happening hours after iran launched missiles into iraq. ukraine is working to figure out what happened after walking back an initial statement referencing engine failure. damaged black boxes have been recovered. expected to post 6-million-dollar bond today as new details emerge about the day his estranged wife

>> as long as i'm president of the united states iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. the united states will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the iranian regime. these powerful sanctions will remain until iran changes its behavior. brian: president trump addressing the nation to explain his strategies and next moves on iran. speaking out against iran has been a personal mission for our next guest. he was hit in iraq by iranian made efp. since then he has spoken out against the iranian nuclear deal and how its sanctions relief provided soleimani with funding and cover to

carry out terrorism up until last week. sergeant robert bartlett is a army veteran army united against iran. sergeant, i thought but right away. you got hit in 2005 by this guy named soleimani and his forces and the efp that changed your life forever. what are your thoughts when we blew him out of the sky? >> it was about time. he has been spreading terrorism across the world for years. you could see spray painted on the outside of our embassy soleimani is our leader. it was obvious that he needed to go a long time ago. i'm just glad that we finally have policies that took him out. brian: so we have so many people, sadly in this country, maybe 90% of the media saying well, he was a bad guy but is the blow back worth it? have we thought this through? what do you think, sergeant? >> i remember the last bad guy that we didn't do anything about was usama bin laden. brian: how did that go? >> yeah, 3,000 civilians

dead. brian: 600 dead by soleimani. people should know who he is. you were in there. you were a sniper. what role did he play in the insurgency in the iraqi days? >> supplying weapons, especially efps, tactical operations. how to train those who wanted to just kill us coming into the country to kill us. organizing hezbollah and the country itself. i mean, he just reigning terror. take over iraq at some point. brian: he is a military guy who put together a terror all-star team to kill americans. that should have been enough. why are we even focused on was an imminent attack coming? why is it even in the conversation? >> why is it in the conversation that not to protect those that are protecting us. it's as simple as us. kill our enemies. not a hard strategy. those who hate us need to go, especially if they're attacking us. they have been attacking us for 30, 40 years. when are they going to go?

at what point do you say enough is enough? president said enough is enough. brian: sergeant, we are focusing on the 600 roughly that lost their lives thanks to him. what about people like you who are living their lives changed forever because of him? >> i have got to be a voice for those who don't have a voice. i have got to be a voice for those who are fathers who can't talk to their kids, celebrate christmas. especially during this holiday season we have got to think about them. celebrate the new year or have more children. if we are not supporting our military, then and those who fight for us, we're the ones who have more kids who end up fighting for us again, you know. i'm a generational fighter. so my fighter was a vietnam vet. if we are not supporting us, then we won't fight for you. that's how it works. you want to have a military in the future, you better support the war fighter. you better support the police that are protecting us every day and the firefighters. we're the ones putting our lives on the line for you, so you better support us.

brian: if they are going to melt copper to put in ieds which are called efps because they are more lethal to kill our guys and tear them up, they have got to know there is going to be hell to pay. for the first time there was. final thought? >> thank you, president trump. thank you for your new policies. thank you, generals, for finally taking the war to those who have been at war with us for 30, 40 years. i appreciate it. finally protecting us. brian: i appreciate you and your family and everybody that fought with you alongside you and is no longer here. sergeant, thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. thanks for giving a voice to the voiceless. brian: absolutely. you are doing that every day. >> i'm trying. brian: you are and effectively. one congressman is using a new ad to take a shot at new people who america. >> it hurts me ilhan omar cheapening and entitled athletes dishonoring our flag. brian: we can't let the

♪ brian: a royal bombshell prince harry and duchess

meghan break with tradition and quit being senior members of the royal family. the decision sending shock waives within buckingham palace and this morning there are reports the couple didn't even tell the queen. ryan chilcote is live in london. ryan, we are hearing she found out on tv with the rest of the free world. is that what you are hearing? >> that's what the daily mail is reporting, brian. look, you know, harry and meghan have long been the black sheep. they have been the rebels inside the palace. they appear to have hit a nerve this time with that statement that they put out late last night u.k. time on instagram saying and i quote: after many months of reflection and internal discussions we have chosen to make a transition this year and starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. we intend to step back as senior members of the royal family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support her majesty the queen. the duke and duchess of

sussex split their time between u.k. and live in canada. that's where meghan filmed a lot of suits and went on vacation. commonwealth rules might make this a bit more palatable for the royal family. speak of the bbc and the daily mail reporting there was no internal discussion. not only did harry and meghan not consult the queen, they didn't talk to any of the big players, including his brother in the family leaving them blindsided and hurt. buckingham palace put out their own statement saying we understand their desire to take a different approach but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through. among those issues, exactly what are their roles going to be. this isn't entirely unprecedented. harry's mother dianna lost her royal title when she divorced charles in 1996. forgive the pun it is a royal problem. part of the reason for that a lot of brits like prince

harry and to a certain extent meghan and the problem that this gives the royal family is they will be concerned that they are now not as good of a position to build support for their -- for the royal family for the fact that they get money from the taxpayers with a broader general public here in the u.k. with this departure. brian? brian: ryan, we are going to talk about it throughout the show. thank you so much for breaking it down. okay. let's go out to steve and ainsley. ainsley: brian, what do you think about this? brian: what did i think about it? i didn't know you could break up with your family number one and number two i hope they have a 401(k) and can they take it with them. ainsley: getting paid by the government to not have a job to be famous individuals to live in a castle and wear beautiful crowns and jewels and they're walking away from that? steve: they want to go to the united states, it sounds like, probably los angeles. and they really want to go to. ainsley: canada. steve: they spend so much time up in vancouver like the last six months.

ainsley: we are going to be talking about it throughout the show. steve: we are. folks in tv land what do you think of meghan and harry moving to north america? friends@foxnews.com. and also on facebook. what do you think? what do you think about this bradley burn has released a new campaigned a for the senate hoping to unseat democratic senator doug jones in november. >> when the towers fell, i knew my brother would be going to war. dale was a true patriot. i can't bring him back. it hurts me to hear ilhan omar cheapening 9/11, entitled athletes dishonoring our flag. the squad attacking america. i will not let them tear our country apart. that's why i'm running for senate. steve: that's party of the ad. the alabama representative vows not to let the rhetoric of democratic congressman in the so-called squad or former nfl player colin kaepernick divide the country. ainsley: congressman bradley byrne joins us now.

good morning to you, congressman. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning. why do you want to run for senate? >> we have a democrat in the united states senate representing alabama in and of itself that doesn't make sense. but he actually votes the wrong way. look, this country is at a crossroads. we are either going to go in the direction that the president wants to take us or the direction of aoc, omar, colin kaepernick and the squad. i want to help the president take the country in the right direction. we had a great week last week. and a real victory going forward. so we need senators who are going to stand with the president, not work against him. steve: mr. byrne, have you been criticized, some people say that ad is a little over the line. what do you say to them? >> i'm so proud of that ad. look, there is a cultural divide in this country. now, the vast majority of us are on the president's side. but these people like omar and colin kaepernick criticizing the president because he took out the most dangerous man in the middle east? give me a break. the rest of us have had enough.

and we want to stand up with this president and push forward with the country. not criticize him when he takes something that makes the whole world safer. steve: mr. byrne i think you are referring to colin kaepernick's tweet after the united states took out general soleimani. kaepernick tweeted this: there is nothing new about american terrorist attacks against black and brown people for the expassengers of american imperialism. and then you responded in a tweet but go ahead and tell us what your feeling is. this guy soleimani probably killed more black and brown people in the middle east. criticizing the presidents who took the right decision to protect us and protect people around the world. it's time for us to stand up with the president and push back against people like kaepernick and omar. ainsley: you mentioned in your ad when the twin towers fell i knew my brother would be going to war. dale was a true patriot. i can't bring him back. then you go on to say it hurts you to see some of these others who aren't in

favor of taking out this terrorist. tell us about your brother. >> yeah, dale was in the alabama national guard and served both in gulf war 1 and gulf war 2. he, like many, many, other men and women in uniform, like the sergeant had you on earlier, they have really made a real sacrifice for our country. when these people like omar and kaepernick get up and criticize what we're doing over there, they dishonor those men and women who wore our uniform. i used my brother dale in the ad because it's personal to me. you could call on hundreds of thousands of women who have served over there. they have all sacrificed. their families have sacrificed. these people like omar and kaepernick get up and criticize what we are doing? come on they dishonor those people and we should stand up and be honoring them every day of our lives. steve: he is a representative in the great state of alabama. bradley byrne, running for senate. doug jones seat down there. sir, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: what's coming up? ainsley: off duty cop stops armed robber in his track.

steve: today is national law enforcement appreciation day. we are celebrating those who put their lives on the line every day. we have many officers joining us here in our world headquarters and just a few to talk a little bit about what it means to serve and some of the challenges face today. joining us right now we have closest to me retired somerset deputy chief richard celeste and police chief parker. branch commander with the new jersey state police department colonel jeff motley. former new york city police department lieutenant army vet darrin porcher and on the end nassau county police commissioner patrick ryder. if anybody is thinking about coming to the fox news world channel headquarters today, today would be a bad day to double park in front of the building, just saying. [laughter] dr. celeste, let's start with you, on national law enforcement appreciation

day, what do we -- how do we get to this point where suddenly we need a day to say thank you? shouldn't we have been doing that all along? >> well, first of all, why would like to on behalf of everybody, we would like to thank "fox & friends" for promoting this event today. so thank you very much. steve: you bet. thank you. >> you are right. today is a symbolic day of something that should be going on each and every day. everybody likes to be appreciated for their life's vocation and these officers men and women in the field have a significant amount of challenges as we move into the years ahead. steve: like what? >> there's a lot of -- well, i call it law enforcement is really society's first responders when somebody needs help, they call the police. steve: absolutely. >> even though it says law enforcement appreciation day, law enforcement is but a small part of what these officers do they provide a lot of other services.

steve: absolutely. chief parker, this is the kind of a job where a lot of men and women in this room have wanted to be a police officer or be in law enforcement since they were a little kid. you come from a law enforcement family. >> that's true. i have had the -- i have been so fortunate to come from a law enforcement family to have fathers, brothers, husbands, my best friends and now my brothers and sisters in law enforcement. it is truly an honor to serve, but with serving comes protect and serve. we do a lot of things. service is part of it. but, protecting the community and protecting those who can't protect themselves, that's part of what we do as well. steve: sure, jeff, this has always been a tough job. but over the last couple of years, it's just gotten tougher. >> yeah. it's a difficult job. but it's such a rewarding job as well. i don't think any of the members on the board here with me or the police officers and troopers standing behind us necessarily need a law enforcement recognition day.

that's not why we do it. we do it to be part of the greatest team. one of the two greatest teams that i think. the u.s. military and law enforcement and first responders check tialy. and being part of those teams and recognizing the value of being something bigger than yourself is certainly very rewarding to all of us. steve: sure. dr. porcher you have been on the program a million times. we call you in because you are from new york city and nearby. but you often talk about, you know, the disrespect that so many police officers across the country, particularly here in the new york city area we highlighted a couple of months ago with people throwing the water and the milk and the buckets it's a tough job. >> absolutely true. unfortunately we have a mayor that has a public sentiment that's adamantly opposed to police in a place like new york city. but when we look at a day like police law enforcement appreciation day, this is entice that symbiotic relationship between police and community. we can join as one. 90% of police work involves

service-related acts such as car accidents, finding lost children, things to that effect. police are part of the community. and this merely brings forward or intriewfses that aspect of bringing police and community together as a result. steve: absolutely. i'm glad you brought that up. commissioner ryder, it is so important to your job that you can trust the community because they trust you ultimately. >> absolutely. most of the cops that are here with us today are all community police officers. we are all community police officers when we wear that uniform. we might wear a different color uniform. wear a different patch. we are one brotherhood. all the men and women that are behind you, they make those relationships with the community. because of those relationships we build that trust. when we build that trust in the community we have a better relationship. steve: how complicated has your job, commissioner ryder gotten with the proliferation of things like cell phones. something is going on. could be a minor traffic fender bender or something like that. somebody has a phone up. the camera is on. they are walking over, trying to catch you doing

something. >> the world of technology actually is our friend. the video helps law enforcement but when lawyers decide to cut out the good part of what the cop does and only show you what they think is the bad part and manipulate that video, that's when it becomes a problem. steve: dr. celeste on this law enforcement appreciation day, for the folks watching out in our tv community, what can they do to say thanks? >> just a general support and, again, not only on a day like today but each and every day. just supporting the officers in their community and challenges they face. there is nothing wrong with saying hey, we appreciate your efforts. steve: chief parker, anybody ever come up to you and say thank you? >> absolutely. that happens to our police officers. i won't say on a dale live but on a regular basis. we do see that support we appreciate that support. and today i, again, echo the sentiments that we appreciate that fox news takes the time to appreciate us, our president stands up and says he supports police.

even though he probably loses votes doing it. and i'm fortunate enough that i have a mayor and council that supports our police department. that's a winning team. we are really fortunate. today is a day to be thank. steve: it is. colonel, when i asked her if people ever thank you for service and keeping us safe you are nodding your head. you hear that don't you. >> absolutely. we do every single day. the great work is certainly recognized as -- although it's popular not to always publish the good work that is done every single day. we know, we do it for that greater cause. so, yes, we do feel appreciated. darren darren one o>> one of tht comforting thing as a officer people come up and say hello you feel like you are a part of the community instead of being separated. that's what officers appreciate. days like today we move that base forward. steve: commissioner, i will give you the last word. >> say thank you. thank the men and women who serve.

they appreciate that any time you give them that little stop in the street and say officer, thank you for your service. we do it for our military. we should do it more for our military. do it also for the men and women who protect us here in new york city and the state of new york. steve: very nice. as people get dressed today, wear some blue just to say thank you to the men and women who do put on the uniform. thank you all very much. round of applause for these guys. how good was that? [applause] very nicely done. all right. we are going to do this every hour this morning to salute law enforcement here in the united states. meanwhile, straight ahead. americans joining the effort to stop the deadly and devastating brush fires in australia. anna kooiman will talk to one of them coming up. and apparently even democrats are getting impatient with nancy pelosi's impeachment stalling tactics. judge napolitano thinks that is going to end soon. as you can see he is getting up the steps. he is coming in next. ♪ ♪ [♪]

dismiss. steve: technically he has not been impeached until they go over. >> there i think he has been impeached. ainsley: technicality. >> the impeachment contemplates that something would happen in the senate. unless she sends those articles there. there is nothing the senate can do. on the other hand, the house rules let her sit on those articles until january 2021. the present term of congress is over. steve: it looks so political. >> yes. i think patience is wearing thin even from some democrats. senator dianne feinstein comes to mind. i think somebody is going to start saying to miss pelosi, let's move on. brian: where is the leverage? what leverage does pelosi have. steve: none. >> that's a great question, brian. we have never seen this before. it's an instance that's never happened in american history. what she wants, i think, is for john bolton to testify live, unrehearsed. steve: she should have called him then. >> in the well of the senate.

you are right, steve. they didn't call him. she wants a commitment that will happen. she knows if he does testify, that will trigger the open public testimony of others who will either corroborate or try to impeach, so to speak what he said. steve: i think lindsey graham said yesterday on capitol hill he thinks the trial could start next week. we will see. judge. >> most important thing she has to do aside from sending the articles over, who are the prosecutors? you can't have a trial without prosecutors. steve: all right. >> all the best, guys. steve: thank you very much. ainsley: coming up vice president mike pence is going to join us live from washington. steve: all right.

enforcement appreciation day and as you know, nobody appreciates law enforcement more than fox. ainsley: so grateful for all of them. brian: especially now in 2020 when more and more are saying it's just not worth the blow back. the lack of respect we get from a lot of communities, it's not worth putting the uniform on. we want everyone to know it is. you are appreciated and most of america does appreciate what you do in a daily basis. you don't do this job to get rich. you do it because you care about the country, your county and your community. ainsley: if you are in law enforcement we all love you thank you for keeping us safe we love you. steve: wear blue they say. 7:01 in new york city and washington, d.c. where democrats are fed up apparently nancy pelosi continues to hoard those articles of impeachment. not sending them to the senate. brian: she is holding one article there she is demanding more details and witnesses. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell insists there will be no haggling. ainsley: griff jenkins is live in our nation's capital with more. hey, griff. >> good morning, steve,

brian and ainsley. here's what the ranking member of the senate judiciary committee dianne feinstein told politico, quote: the longer it goes on the less urgent it becomes so if it's serious and urgent, send them over. if it isn't, don't send them over. take a look at the list of democratic senators red for nor pelosi to allow the trial to start. joe manchin, jon tester, chris coons, joe manchin, richard blumenthal doug jones and angus king. calls for former national security advisor john bolton to testify is standing with pelosi. listen. >> i support the decision of the spiker t speaker to hold the articles until we get clarity somewhere weather there will be a fair and impartial and comprehensive trial in the senate. >> house minority leader kevin mccarthy says this is back firing on the speaker big time. >> she is going to fail at this. she has already failed. and now it's not just

republicans, it's democrat senators. what's even worse is dianne feinstein. this is her home senator but it's her hometown center from san francisco. griff: are we any closer to a trial start? technically, no. but senate minority leader chuck schumer who is still standing with pelosi is going to start feeling this pressure if it gyps to build and we could see some movement and don't expect that to come from mitch mcconnell. he says he has the votes to dismiss the articles when they arrive. brian, ainsley and. steve: steve he does. brian: mitch mcconnell doesn't budge much. i think you know that thanks for joining us. we will see you soon. bring in jason chaffetz. he demands it. is he a g.o.p. senator. chairman of the house oversight which i committee and co-host of the outnumbered at 12:00. stop by the radio if you haven't had enough of me already. mitch mcconnell does he hold his ground? is he vulnerable at all to this hold-out tactic. >> i don't think he is

mitch mcconnell knows the rules of the senate. i would follow his lead on this. i do not believe that they have actually passed the articles of impeachment. they passed it, they have to give it to the senate. steve: they have to give it to the senate. >> literally pass that baton to the united states senate. their own resolution that the democrats wrote by themselves, passed by themselves, said that those articles will be exhibited in the united states senate. they are not even abiding by what they wrote and what they voted on but they have in the passed them yet. ainsley: used the word hoarding. we have seen that show hoarders. time to clean out and purge and pass it on. she has fellow democrats saying nancy, have you got it move on, including dianne feinstein, richard blumenthal, chris coons and joe manchin. is she going to listen to them? >> the whole case was supposedly predicated on the urgency in which they needed to do it. steve: right. >> then they actually vote on it and decide not to pass it. i probably differ from most. i do not believe that the senate should just override

and pull those out and extract them from the house of representatives. i think that's a dangerous precedent. i think there is a reason why a speaker would hold that. and that is an awesome power that that person has. but if she has such a weak case, which i think is the case that she is making by not passing it, that they should actually be held in the house of representatives. steve: later on in the house it looks like she is actually going to vote on a war powers resolution. they did get their briefing yesterday. although we did hear some say -- republicans say could use more details. in the meantime, in the last 20 minutes, john bolton tweeted this: the 1973 war powers resolution is unconstitutional. it reflects a fundamental misunderstanding how the constitutional located foreign affairs authority between the president and congress. the resolution should be repealed. is john bolton, who left the administration, right? >> the president has the sole power to conduct the business of the united states military. if there is a clear and

present danger, the president can pull the trigger. he can pull armies and do what he needs to do. i do believe a president does have to go to the united states congress if there is an extended period. brian: expanded period. >> i look what barack obama did in libya. we bombed libya and went to war with libya 8 months there was no clear and present danger. i argued with others probably not vehemently enough that they should have gone to the united states congress. but if there is a clear and present danger like soleimani and they do have to do that you don't call up adam schiff and nancy pelosi and say i do have your permission? that's not the way this thing works. steve: no kidding. brian: inform them but you don't ask the green light. >> you have an obligation to inform them but you don't need it in order to pull the trigger. again, if you are going to do it for an extended period of time then i do think you do it. it has been abused, in my opinion, on both sides of the aisle. i disagree somewhat with some of the others that have made a more strident case. brian: senator mike lee. >> i kind of disagree with him and rand paul on this.

ainsley: he said that was the worst briefing ever. >> it might have been a bad briefing and maybe he didn't get complete answers. based on the video i saw, he was asking a question that long term should be discussed out but did the president have the authority, the power, and did he make the right decision by all accounts, at least from my perspective, he did. ainsley: it sounds like that decision needed to be made immediately because, think about this. he landed, soleimani landed in iraq. why was there in the first place? as soon as he got off the plane and hit the ground, maybe that was a signal that he is about to go do something and we stopped him. >> huge victory for intelligence services. a president who is willing to make a decision. and a military that has the execution opportunities available. if you take off from syria and land in baghdad, that's a very short flight. brian: gina haspel cia director with all these years of experience told the president directly the risk of not taking him out is greater than the risk of taking him out. take him out. what do you want him to do? >> well, look, have you

nikki haley at the u.n. years ago talking specifically about this individual. it was a bold move. and i think we should all rally behind the president just like we did when barack obama took out usama bin laden. this was equal. steve: actually mitch mcconnell has said over the last couple of days i didn't get a hedz up when they took out bin laden. i didn't get a heads up. >> the president should keep it quiet but he informed the congress after that. steve: listen, after it happened with soleimani, you know a number of democrats said, you know, he really acted outside of his lane. that was thursday into friday. later that friday, a couple of days ago, peter doocy, who used to live upstairs at my house. >> yeah. steve: saw joe biden who is the frontrunner on the democratic side in dubuque, iowa. and essentially turned it around. so many complaints about this president doing it. peter asked joe biden this: >> if you were ever handed a piece of intelligence that

said you can stop an imminent attack on americans, but you have to use an airstrike to take out a terror leader, would you pull the trigger? >> well, we did. the guy's name was usama bin laden. >> didn't you tell president obama not to go after bin laden. >> no, i didn't. i didn't. steve: okay. so there is joe last week saying no, i didn't. but when you look at things he said, he said a lot. watch this. here he is back in 2012 saying i told the president don't go. >> for about four weeks only six of us knew the possibility where bin laden was. we had to make a decision. the president, he went around the table with all the senior people, including the chiefs of staff. and he said i have to make this decision. what is your opinion? i said mr. president, my suggestion is don't go. we have to do two more things to see if he is there. steve: so he is the leader on the democratic side. "the washington post" yesterday gave him three

pinocchios. >> if it's three out of three, i would give him 10 if there were 10 of them. in his own words he it's well documented that he didn't do this. i think what's most damning about joe biden is what secretary gates the former defense secretary said, he has been wrong on pretty much every foreign policy issue over the last 40 years. steve: it's all about judgment. >> yeah. joe biden has been in this bubble he has been there since the 1970s. i don't think wha country wants a consummate insider. brian: 30 point lead when it comes to other candidates. he makes the wrong one. joe, if we all -- mr. vice president, if we all leave, it's going to be a problem. insurgency unrest here balancing point. he said we are leaving. he told allowy, who won the election allied with the u.s. aside we will let al maliki stay. al maliki cuts a deal with iran and kicks us out of the

country. that's joe biden 2013 new yorker magazine. book released in 2019. these aren't political hacks. >> if you can't be honest and candid about the advice you gave president obama to go after usama bin laden, i mean, case closed as far as i'm concerned. i just -- i don't trust him and i think there is a reason why he has always failed whenever he has run for president in the past. steve: you know how mainstream media works. not getting a lot of critical attention on the other side. >> donald trump is stronger politically than he has ever been right now. he just is making all the right moves. the economy is singing. i just -- i don't care hot democrats put up, as long as donald trump plays his a game he is going to win. brian: bloomberg says is he going to run on the bad trump economy. [laughter] steve: good luck. >> i don't know where he is looking. brian: i'm just telling you. ainsley: billionaire one of the most richest men in our country. steve: we will be looking at outnumbered today at noon he will be in the center square. >> thank you.

brian: we know what you are going to be wearing. >> now i got pressure. i'm going to change my tie. ainsley: jillian over there she has headlines. jillian: sad story to pass along. let's start with this. a ticket mixup leaves a man at the airport where his wife boarded of the doomed plane in iran. according to the ottawa citizen the canadian man was told his ticket was no longer valid so he told his wife he would wait for another flight and meet up with her at their layover in ukraine. he heard about the crash inside the terminal. investigators in iran say the pilot didn't radio for help but they tried to turn back to the airport. the cause of the crash is under investigation. all 176 people on board were killed. facebook announces it will not change its controversial political ad policy. it will continue to run ads even if politicians lie or campaign targets specific groups. instead facebook will give users transparency features for more control over the ads they see.

ainsley: new details emerging in the murder case of jennifer farber dulos the connecticut mother of five. the suspect in the case her husband flotus dulos is expected to pois a $6 million bond today. the family's nanny apparently immediately suspected the husband. detailing how the night before jennifer disappeared she stocked the pantry with a 12 pack of paper towels. after jennifer vanished, just two were left. and her body has yet to be found. here to weigh in is the former united states attorney who prosecuted elizabeth smart's kidnapper brett tollman. bret, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> what do you think happened? >> this is a case that gets more bizarre and more bizarre and tragic. you get a sense that something went awry but not without planning. ainsley: why two paper towels. you think someone used the paper towels to clean up the mess. >> yes. thank goodness for the nanny to paid attention.

without her we wouldn't see that level of confidence. this is a kidnapping, a murder. it involves multiple people. ainsley: a mother of five. those children, i understand, are being recognized now with her mother. with -- raised now with jennifer's mother. yesterday he was charged with felony murder. what does that mean? what is felony murder. >> what it tells us there is not a high confidence by law enforcement and investigators yet as to who ultimately performed the act to kill ms. dulos and we can tell from those charges that they ever confident that she was killed. they are confident that there was an attempt to hide the body. there is competent attempt to get away with this murder. and it involves multiple people. so they have charged each of them with participation. that's basically your felony murder. ainsley: that means if you and i went in and robert a bank and you shot someone i could be charged with felony murder because i was there and allowing this to happen. >> that's correct. ainsley: what about his best friend who is also an attorney. why is he charged?

>> he wasn't originally. and investigators are even surprised themselves that they have now charged his friend who is an attorney. he lied during the investigation multiple times. then come to find out he has some interest in property where they found a shallow grave dug. they found sticks covering it and then they found bags of lime inside the grave. ainsley: which would help decompose the body. >> no bones or d.n.a. or blood. but they are confident that that was part of the plan. ainsley: what about the girlfriend? what do they think her involvement was. >> she has told inconsistent stories. that's a problem when you are investigating and then you start to learn that she may have been in on the planning. that she had made statements to others that they were concerned about. and she -- they have evidence that they are satisfied she was one that helped get rid of the body. so you have this nightmare for a family that's grieving to also learn that multiple people were involved in this

death. ainsley: i know. five kids and now their dad is going to be in prison. and their mother is dead. >> don't forget the motive here may be money. ainsley: did they think they could get away with this? if they are guilty with this, for someone who was so successful and so smart he was so stupid how do you think you are going to get away with this. you are going through an ugly, nasty divorce. >> it's not a crime of passion where you are reacting to something that made you so angry. this involved planning discussion and multiple people conspiring. ainsley: did one of them crack? >> yes. these are not people that have had an intricate knowledge of the criminal justice system. they are in for a rude awakening in terms of you who they are going to be dealt with and what their experience is going to be. one of them and i hope it's soon, will come forward, do the right thing and give peace to this family. ainsley: i hope. so thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: today marks national law enforcement appreciation day. as we honor those who serve tunnel 2 towers is working

steve: tell us about police officer billy the iii. >> he was shot in the line of duty. he was making a drug bust. he had five children, kind of like my brother, who died on 9/11 had five children he left behind. not only that his father in 1978 died in the line of duty himself. so he comes from a family of heroes. he also served our country in the u.s.s. army. we have to take care of these families. we have to take -- we have to make a promise to america that if you go out, america, make a promise to these first responders. you died for us. we are going to take care of your families. go to tunnel 2 towers.org and donate $11 a month and we can help every one of these families. steve: you are amazing for doing that so many people just saw that and said why is he doing that? you are doing it in the memory of your brother but also, at the same time, to help all these families who nobody else will help. >> where would we be without law and order in our country. and do you know what? there has been a target on their back for a long time. we have to say we are

standing with our law enforcement across this country. steve: all right. frank siller, the ceo of tunnel 2 towers.org. frank, thank you. >> thank you, steve. steve: all right. meanwhile, 7:30 in new york city. the u.s. house of representatives will vote later today on limiting president trump's war powers with iran vice president mike pence is going to join brian to talk about that and a bunch of other stuff next on "fox & friends." ♪ we could be heroes ♪ me and you ♪ we could be heroes ♪ i wish i had gone into aspen dental much sooner.

brian: thanks for tuning in it's special time. our privilege to bring in the vice president of the united states live right now from his west wing office. vice president michael pence, thank you for joining us this morning. >> hi, brian. brian: mr. vice president, first off, do you believe that the iranians have done

what they were going to do in terms of retribution for taking out their general? >> well, as president trump made clear, we are ready for anything. but in the wake of the divisive action really the president initiated following the attack on our military base on december 27th, we went in and did airstrikes on five militia facilities in northern iraq and then, of course, the president's decision to take the leading terrorist in the world off the battlefield, the strike that took off qassem soleimani we have made it very, very clear not only does america have the capability in the region militarily, but we have a commander-in-chief who is willing to use military force thanks to his decisive leadership and the extraordinary professionalism of our military personnel, in the wake of the iranian attack, no american casualties. no coalition casualties and as i speak to you this

morning from the white house, we continue to receive word that iran is standing down. but at the president's direction, we are going to remain vigilant but i think thanks to the president's leadership and extraordinary work in the region the world is safer today and american personnel in the region and america are safer, too. brian: mr. vice president, if the iranian leadership who sent those, we believe, 15 rockets into two separate bases, one of which missed the erbil landed in between the consulate and the actual base, if any of those rockets killed americans, would we have responded directly? >> brian, i can assure you having been there every step of the way that when those iranian backed militias shelled base claimed an american life on december 27th, injured four american service personnel, president trump made it

clear internally and to the world that there would be strong military response. even a disproportionate response if american lives were lost. we would be in a very different place today if those missiles had hit their intended target. but thanks to force protection that the president dictated. thanks to the incredible dedication to our team on the ground as well as intelligence community that gave us a potential warning of potential threats no american casualties. all the credit goes to our team, our military on the ground because no doubt in my mind that when the iranians fired those missiles, they were intending to kill americans. they struck bases. my wife and i visited just this last thanksgiving, but thanks to our preparedness, thanks to this measures that were taken, thankfully, no american lives were lost. brian: mr. vice president, as you know, their foreign minister came out and said

iran took and concluded proportional measures that should make people at your level feel reassured that maybe rockets aren't coming tonight or right now however they have so many affiliate militia that they say acts on their own. if an iranian supported militia attacks and hurts or kills an american. is that like the iranian government doing it and will we respond proportionally to them? >> well. >, you don't need tospeculated s iranian based militia that claimed an american citizen and in the first time in 10 years under this commander-in-chief president trump ordered american airstrikes against five different militia bases. we have made it very clear that we are prepared to respond militarily if militias move against us. the encouraging news is, number one, qassem soleimani was the principle contact

and leader on iran's behalf with those militias. and number two, we are hearing some intelligence to suggest that iran is sending a message to the militias not to move forward. that being said, we're ready, as the president said yesterday, we are ready for anything and any -- any terrorist -- any individual who will bring violence against or cost american lives will pay a dear price. brian: gotcha. meanwhile, among the people disappointed in the 75-minute briefing yesterday, it didn't surprise many that democrats were upset by it and you get the sense going to be upset by it anyway. when senator mike lee, who calls himself a supporter of the president and likes a lot of your foreign policy said this, it really raised a lot of eyebrows. listen. >> it is not acceptable for officials within the executive branch of government -- i don't care whether they are with the

cia, with the department of defense, or otherwise to come in and tell us that we can't debate and discuss the appropriateness of military intervention against iran. it's unamerican. it's unconstitutional. and it's wrong. i find this insulting and demeaning. not personally but to the office that each of the 100 senators in this building happens to hold. brian: he did it later on on prime time when he cooled down a little bit. he is very upset. you didn't give him any substance. you didn't say specific here is the threat. here is the plan and that's why we killed him. why do you say to people like mike lee who still are questioning why in a secure environment you are unable to give the specific information or mike pompeo and the secretary of defense were? >> well, first, the president and i have immense respect for senator mike lee. he is a great conservative and a great leader. buff we have had differences on u.s. policy in the region. i know mike and senator rand

paul oppose the self-defense actions that we have taken in yemen and wil we will continue to discuss those. honest differences of opinion with them. but, let me me assure your viewers. i was there every step of the way. and while to protect sources and methods we're simply not able to share with every member of the house and senate the intelligence supported the president's decision to take out qassem soleimani. can i assure your viewers that there was a threat of an imminent attack. it was after those airstrikes the president ordered on those five militia bases that we began to receive word that soleimani was traveling the region to make preparations for a larger attack on american forces and american personnel. it was realtime information that was developed. the leadership in congress and the house and senate has seen this intelligence. and, frankly, the most

compelling intelligence to support the fact that there was an imminent attack being planned by qassem soleimani is too sensitive to share broadly it. would compromise what we call sources and methods. but i want your viewers to understand that that information was brought to the president, and i couldn't be more proud to serve alongside the president when faced with intelligence that qassem soleimani was preparing to launch attacks against american military and civilian personnel. president donald trump acted. he took him out. then we took measures necessary to protect our forces in the region even after iranian missile strike no, casualties. and iran is standing down. brian: mr. vice president did you make a mistake not informing allies that this operation was in action not telling the u.k. who have troops there. not telling other nato members. was that a mistake? >> well, i don't believe so.

because of the sensitive nature of this and let me also say having been in continuous communication with the president and through our national security team, the movements that soleimani was making around the region were developing. they were changing. and what president trump made clear to the team was we are going to take action to protect american forces and american personnel in the region. everything else was second to that our military executed it flawlessly, america and the world are safer today as a result. brian: i watched the president's speech like many did yesterday. one of the things he said he wants nato to help. get involved and help us out. walk away from that deal that iran has walked away from. nicholas byrnes, former ambassador to nato said this during a republican and democrat administration. help is not likely.

the president's failure to consult allies or take their interest into consideration will make it extremely difficult to get their support, very few of the allies trust him and will not follow blindly the most anti- -- he is the most anti-nato president in seven decades. do you agree, disagree? what's your response to him? >> well, well first off, i would tell you that as the president said we are going to call on nato to do more in the region. we are very confident particularly in the wake of the missile attack from iran under the sovereign territory of iraq against two american military installations that support will be forthcoming. our operation in iraq is in part a nato operation as it is in afghanistan. and as many of your viewers already know, this president has done more to strengthen nato. brian: right. >> than any president in my lifetime. our nato allies are now contributing more to our common defense than ever before.

brian: no commitment yet, right? >> in the history of our alliance. the president is going to make it clear to our nato allies that they need to step up more in the region and beyond that. brian: right. >> let me say that we are going to continue the maximum pressure campaign against iran isolating them economically, diplomatically, the president has authorized additional sanctions. he proved in the last two weeks that we are willing to use military force when necessary to protect our forces and personnel and our allies. brian: gotcha. >> in the region that pressure campaign will continue. that's why the president is going to call on our allies in the days ahead to join the united states to withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal and demand that iran abandon its long history of sowing terrorist violence. abandon its nuclear ambition and joint family of nations and i can assure you president trump will continue to stand firm to bring our allies to

recognize that reality and stand firm on iran. brian: 40 years they haven't recognized the reality. we can keep our fingers crossed. meanwhile, the senate is waiting for the two articles of impeachment to befuddlement of many including senator dianne feinstein and blumenthal and others. chris coons and joe manchin, all democrats, she has not handed them over and they are losing patience. are you guys hamstrung until the house makes a decision? where's the leverage? >> well, look, just really have remarkable. i don't know how many times we heard the word urgent from the democrat leadership in the house as they rammed through their sham investigation where the white house wasn't allowed to have counsel present, wasn't allowed to call witnesses. then they passed a partisan impeachment vote out of the house of representatives and speaker nancy pelosi has been sitting on it for a month. so where's the urgency? now you even have senator dianne feinstein saying if

it's urgent, send it. if it's not, don't. all of this we think just exposes what, you know, what frankly a sham process this has been. it's a great disservice to the american people. the american people can read the transcript. they can see the president did nothing wrong there was no quid pro quo. ukraine received all the military aid and the time has come for the senate to take action that's necessary to take this matter up to acquit the president and to move onto the important business facing the american people, a stronger, more prosperous america. we are going to continue to focus on that here at the white house and demand, demand that the congress do the same. brian: 45 seconds left and then you have to get on with your job. mr. vice president. are you encouraging mitch mcconnell to pass the usmca while he awaits those articles or are you going to

go with what he says i'm going to wait until the impeachment thing is ironed out. quick answer? >> the usmca is a huge win for american farmers. a huge win for american workers while the house of representatives dithers with their. brian: they passed it. >> partisan impeachment. the senate should move on the usmca and keep this booming economy booming. brian: all right. mr. vice president, thanks so much for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank you, brian. brian: you got it. meanwhile, straight ahead on our show, the royal riff prince harry and meghan separating themselves not from each other but from the rest of their family. can you do that? what is going on inside the palace? aren't you glad you are not royalty? ♪ ♪ t great things

we know iranian military did intend to kill american troops with targeted missile attacks. brian: early warning systems helped members stay safe. steve: people are still on edge, rick. >> for sure, good morning, steve, ainsley and brian, both sides are claiming victory after yesterday's early morning attack, iranians say they delivered a slap to america's face, the damages were relatively minor and no casualties so for now there will be no escalation, also this morning hearing from the pentagon that they believe 16 missiles were launched by the iranians, precision-guided ballistic missiles capable of carrying 1600-pound air heads, there was an early warning including the iraqi prime

minister who said iran pave them a heads up before strikes allowing iraq troops to scramble into bunkers. iraq's relationship is ultimate goal is forcing u.s. troops out of the region. >> we should have some expectation that the shiite militia groups directed or nondirected by iran will continue in some way, shape or form to try and undermine our presence there, our challenge will be to act forcefully, to make sure that we keep the level of deterrence raised high. >> just minutes ago, vice president mike pence said that our military will respond if challenged again. >> we are ready for anything and any -- any terrorist, any individual who will bring

violence against or cost american lives will pay a dear price. >> last night the president spoke with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu as this country and other gulf states keep a close eye on iran, guys. steve: they do, indeed, rick, live with the latest, let's bring in sarah sanders, you remember when she was at podium at the white house, she joins us from little rock. ainsley: good morning. >> great to be with you, guys. steve: in the last week the country of iran after they killed american there's a new sheriff in town, right? >> absolutely, i think it's been abundantly clear that they are not working with the same america that they used to. under the obama administration they projected weakness, president trump does everything complete opposite of that and finally projecting strength and letting them know that they will not be pushed around, there's a read line and if they cross it

he will respond, that's frankly the only thing that iran is ever going to understand, the only thing that's going to deter them is strength, we have a very clear choice in front of us, we can either go down the path of appeasement that we saw under the obama administration or we can go down a path of strength where the president has taken us so far that is clearly a much better posture for our country. ainsley: sarah, the president said the u.s. is ready to embrace peace and calling for more economic sanctions and said iran is standing down, why is the house putting resolution to try to limit the president's powers? >> you know, i can't think of anything dumber than allowing congress to take over our foreign policy, they can't seem to manage to get much of anything done, i think the last thing we want to do is push powers into congress' hands and take them away from the president, any democrat that doesn't understand that america is safer now that one of the

most worst terrorists is rotting in hell and the last thing i want to see take power away from president trump and put it into their own hands. >> "the new york times" write today the speech the president gave today was many ways sound of muddled policy, the 3 years in office mr. trump has yet to resolve two conflicting instincts, national security and speeches, when -- one is disengagement. he looked away from the saudi attack, tanker attack, but didn't look the other guy on the embassy attack? >> not at all. no longer focused making sure we maintain relationship with iran and protect american citizens, this is a president who is time

and time again demonstrated that strength ask the only way to deter, i'm proud of the president and actions he's taken and he has a great team around him and they are doing an excellent job and i don't think we can have anybody better in the position. ainsley: what do you think of the speech, i promise as long as i'm president iran will not have nuclear capabilities and then good morning. brian: added that. >> it's classic trump. look, he wants to make sure that the big take away here is that america will not be pushed around as long as he is president and make sure that iran does not have a nuclear weapon, at the same time he's going to have a hospitable and great nature about him but he wanted to make sure the big take away was the first thing that people heard and i think it was a strong and good message and one that all americans can rest easy, we have a president committed to the safety and security of the country and not

focused on appeasing the radicals of iran which is incredible by important. >> you know, a number of people came out after the hit on soleimani and muted response that it's win for the president, that's the last thing the democrats want to see in this 2020 and now we know that nancy pelosi clearly despite the fact, sarah, that she said we have to pass the articles of impeachment because it is urgent to stop this guy, maybe it wasn't so urgent because she's still sitting on them and now there are a number of democrats and we will put pictures up including dianne feinstein, you know what, it's time, we don't get what the delay is, why don't we just go ahead and shoot it on over, have a courier take it over to the senate, let's get this thing over with. >> absolutely, if anybody has any type of muddled policy it's the democrats, they seem completely lost because they don't know how to beat the president, he continues to win on every front and they simply

don't know what to do with that, i think that the idea that all of a sudden it's no longer urgent for us to force this impeachment sham down america's throat the way the house democrats have done shows exactly what it was all along, it was a political partisan process that was nothing more than a means to attack the president, i think the american people saw through it, that's why there's no support for it and that's why you continue to see people saying let's just get this over with so we can get back to the business of the day, i look forward to watching the president give his state of the union after he's been fully vindicated by the senate right there in front of nancy pelosi, i think it's going to be incredible moment and one i think we can all look forward to watching. >> sarah, looks like "the new york times" says foreign policy of iran is muddled, looks like the vice president who joined us 30 minutes ago, you know what's muddled the whole impeachment push, he does not get the delay.

>> i don't know how many times we heard the word urgent from the democrat leadership in the house as they rammed through their sham investigation where the white house wasn't allowed to have counsel present and wasn't allowed to call witnesses, they passed a partisan impeachment vote out of the house of representatives and the speaker nancy pelosi has been sitting on it for a month, so where's is urgency? brian: ended like this but he went on, the urgency is a problem that even democrats having problems with, tell me what happens next, how does this play out? >> well, i think the vice president is exactly right, it's what i was just saying, we saw what a sham this whole thing has been, pelosi is completely beholding to the far left of her party, we saw that play out, they know it was a bad move but she has no control over the party in a -- anymore, you the

squad pushing for insane policies and i think impeachment hopefully is a lesson that they've learned, what we can expect to see the president go to the senate be completely and fully vindicated and stand in front of nancy pelosi and all of the rest of america and the world and claim victory on that and all of the other great successes of this administration when he gives state of the union here in a few weeks. >> we know that nancy pelosi is doing it because she's speaker and she can, she has a vulnerable democrats in swing states, purple districts but a lot of republicans are suggesting they could pay the price next november, this november? >> i certainly hope so and i think the american people are much smarter than democrats give them credit for and i think we will see that play out in november, i think the president is going to come to a landslide victory as well as a lot of house republicans take new seats, hold the majority and even pick up seats in the senate, i think the more the democrats continue on the path

of destruction that they're on, i think only helps republicans in the fall. >> i know that you've enjoyed having a breather and enjoyed holidays without the stress of washington, have you decided if you're going run for office? [laughter] >> no decisions yet. right now my only focus -- my only focus right now is on 20, any election here in arkansas would be in 2022, so we have a lot of time to looking forward to making sure the president and other republicans elected here in a few months. ainsley: okay, good deal, thank you, sarah, good to see you. brian: sarah huckabee sanders early this morning. jillian: good morning to you, let's get you caught up on stories, expected to post $6 million bond as new details emerge about wife's disappearance, long-time nanny immediately told connecticut

in it yet. steve: city council meeting this week as local officials passed resolution declaring virginia beach a second amendment constitutional city. brian: latest community taking measures to protect gun rights in anticipation of strict new gun regulations thanks to the democratic state leadership. joining us right now to discus it nationally radio host dana loesch. understand they hit the pause button where is this heading? >> that's the million dollar question and good morning to, everyone, i think it's 118th, 119th county declaring second amendment sanctuary, i'm sure you have seen footage of all the counties, you have hundreds of

people turning out every single time and that's what i think virginia democrats didn't appreciate when they began this tactic and their overall strategy of disarmament and let's be really clear, this is what democrats envision for the rest of america, just a quick example of some of the things that they've proposed, in virginia democrats, there's one democrat lawmaker who proposed to ban gun ranges, they want to ban gun ranges because it's all about gun sense and gun safety but yet i guess part of the gun sense and gun safety to make it to where law abiding americans can't actually train to carry their arms and practice marksmanship, they also started stripping parents of their rights, another proposal, of determining when and how their children can learn about firearms and actually shoot firearms under adult supervision, so we have a number of things, we have the magazine ban, universal background checks, if you remember when

colorado passed the law, it actually didn't do anything to impact crime, in fact, crime increased, same thing with maryland, they are focusing on things that do nothing to punish criminals which is interesting because you have local authorities that they will not prosecute low-level offenses and they want to go ahead and target law abiding gun owners. steve: let's talk about what they want to do in common wealth of virginia, governor there ralph northham, install one handgun a month rule, bump stocks, requires individuals to report missing firearms within 24 hours, he thinks this is all common sense, watch. >> our 8 pieces of gun legislation do not threaten the second amendment, they are all constitutional, we are not going to go door to door and confiscate individual's weapons,

we are going to pass common sense legislation that will keep guns out of dangerous hands and keep virginia safer. ainsley: dana, he doesn't think it'll threaten second amendment. >> yeah, he should tell that to other members of his party. i have to say it's really difficult for me to accept common sense advice or council from a guy who wore black face so often which friends gave him nickname and defended on air the idea of aborting a baby after birth which just sounds like murder to me, if we are talking about saving lives and being consistent i guess ralph northham doesn't have much on the issue. all being said, this is a bad gamble for them, if they get this opt i -- optic this is goig

to look awful in 2020, this isn't going to stop, gun owners will win. brian: military all over west virginia, they wouldn't be embracing this. ainsley: good point. steve ainsley, what is today? ainsley: national law enforcement appreciation day, we are honoring men and women in uniform, panel of officers, you can see them live with the things that matter most to them, we will talk to them coming up next. brian: they took over our green room and there's no problem with advil, you have power over pain, so the whole world looks different. the unbeatable strength of advil. what pain?

everybody. we have been talking about our appreciation for what you do every day but as you look, chief parker at 2020 one thing that really bothers you and a lot of people don't realize this, we hear about it in the military but we don't realize in law enforcement the number of suicide each and every year. >> yes, steve, it's alarming, stats are in and they have gone up 32% and that's something as law enforcement executive we can't just dismiss, we have to create wellness programs for our officers because when they are out on critical incidents we need to do critical incident debriefing and in new jersey we also have a new program that we are kicking off resiliency program, we really need to take officer wellness serious so that when they go back to serve the community they are prepared, ready and mentally sound. steve: that's right, dr. odom, when they go to the community,

you don't know what you're going to do because men and women of law enforcement, they do a loft stuff every day and most of them they weren't counting on doing when they got up in the morning? >> exactly. we have so many hats, we become counselors and therapists and mediators and we become priests, we wear all different hats when we come out there and does a lot to the officer, so while we are thinking about the things and we appreciate officers who are coming out because this is a noble profession and noble calling, we have to remember officer who is got killed in line of duty and 2019 was 134 and suicides 228 in 2019 so while we are remembering law enforcement officers we need to think about this. steve: absolutely, chief busby, the line of work that everybody has gone into it, is this a hard job that over the last couple of years has gotten a lot harder? >> no question about it, steve. first of all, i would like to say that i'm honored in this room full of heros. and our prayers can't for

directive seals in police. the number overall of dead cops went down in 2019 but the number due to ambush and gunfire has remained consistent, that's a big concern, we can manage around the other side of it, we have with seat belts and vests and protective measures but it's really, really difficult to measure and manage against threats like that. steve: absolutely, joe, you have an organization dedicated to making sure that law enforcement deserves respect. >> this past week we saw what realtor -- real terrorism. someone disrespecting and cursing at a cop, i think no matter what right you're on, top or bottom, at the end we have

each other, we need to go home to our families and show them how important law and order is and voting out people who are against us whether in city hall and washington, we have to look out for one another. steve: on the national law enforcement appreciation day, you know, this is one day if you see a police officer please say thank you, buy them a cup of coffee or something like that, that's one day, it should extend every day of the year. >> sure, absolutely. it's really important that, you know, the community shares how much they appreciate for police officers and there's a silent majority in the country that supports law enforcement, we ask our officers to go out into the community and complicated issues, mental, health issues, substance abuse issues, reduce violence, they see the worst of what society has to offer in a lot of cases and it means a lot when someone puts a lawn sign

out or blue bow on the tree and the officers really appreciate it, thank you for fox news for -- for bringing attention to this. steve: well, thank you for keeping us safe, joe, what should folks do from watching right now from tv land if they see a police officer here on national law enforcement appreciation day? >> remember the families of cop that is were killed in line of duty because something happens, the family member is never coming back, pray for the families and hope for the best for all of us. steve: chief busby. >> as these guys said, the appreciation is really, really important. they need to remember that people aren't in this for the glory or the money and a word of thanks and a word of support is what we need today, the community who is normally silent needs to step up for us. >> say thank you because we are family members also. >> chief parker. >> we appreciate that everything you do for us, today is a day to be thankful for us as well.

play great defense. >> so i'm right, what do you think? >> i have a mix with my super bowl predictions, now before the season started, the reason i'm picking these teams, i pick vikings and i pick the chiefs. brian: wow. >> i'm sticking with my pick, i jumped off board all year long and -- i'm going back to my chiefs-vikings matchup. you like that? brian: i loved that you picked it early. >> that was way back in june. tom brady is a competitor, he wants to play football, right. that's the question where, before the spots got filled up, i thought somewhere like miami would have been a good place because you have to understand this, wherever josh mcdaniels go, offensive coordinator for new england patriots, that would have been a package deals, mcdaniels and tom brady, the only spot that's open is cleveland, think about this, cleveland has a ton of talent on

the roster, young quarterback in baker mayfield, you can keep baker to back upbraidy, makes sense, right, you have odell beckham at receiver. you have garrett, defensive player, one of the best in the game, you have a ton of talent in the team, they just need leadership and a coach. ainsley: what about the giants? >> absolutely, man. he needs to play as long as he can play, don't let anybody tell you when your time is up because what's going to happen if you leave the game before you're reading, it's going haunt you for the rest of your life, keep going, eli. steve: this is not an ordinary sports -- >> it is not. steve: cbd sports drink for athletes.
