5:02 am
suspending his participation in the nuclear weapons treaty with the u.s., which they were breaking the agreement anyway. >> ainsley: they will probably resume testing their nukes if we do, they say. putin's work at 4:00 a.m. eastern time this morning. peter doocy is live for us in poland with the very latest. peter? speak of the very latest is that the polish leader president biden is meeting with right now, about a ten minute walk away from the spot, once more u.s. troops here in poland in a more permanent way. the fear among the polish government is that russia could take over ukraine and then come and try to take over poland next, and that is a fear that grows as u.s. officials we are talking to contend with the very real possibility that the chinese could soon start helping russia in their war effort. >> we had the secretary say today, or yesterday, talking about a possible deterrent that the chinese in the future could
5:03 am
start helping russia with legal aid. how concerned should we be without? >> i think we do have concerns that china is considering providing military assistance to russia. he obviously sought russia and china announcing a no holds partnership about a year ago and obviously have concerns about china continuing to bolster russia as they continue to prosecute this war. >> the u.s. price tag for helping ukraine battle russia so far? $113 billion. that number could grow exponentially if russia winds up getting that chinese help and if putin starts carrying out nuclear tests now that he is suspending the u.s.-russia new start nuclear treaty. >> interpreter: our relations have degraded. the responsibility for that is fully on the united states. they can't be silly people. they want to deliver us a strategic defeat while crawling into our strategic nuclear objectives. regarding this, i have to say
5:04 am
that russia suspends its participation in the new start treaty. >> a few minutes ago, the secretary of state, tony blinken, says that russia pulling out of new start is a new problem for the west. >> the announcement is deeply unfortunate and irresponsible. we will be watching carefully to see what russia actually does. we will of course make sure that in any of that we are postured appropriately for the security of our own country and that of our allies. >> a big question today. if putin and xi team up in ukraine, will president biden do? how will the u.s. respond? maybe there is some kind of a public warning and these remarks we are expecting in a few hours. we know they will be watching very closely in both beijing and moscow. back to you. >> steve: they will indeed. let's back up to the beginning of your report. you said the president of
5:05 am
poland -- does he want american troops there to fend off putin? or does he want nato troops? >> yes, he wants american troops. that's what they're good to be talking president biden about. basically, because president biden is hesitating to put troops, does not want to put u.s. troops in ukraine to directly fight russians, they already have some u.s. forces here in poland. they been doing a lot of training of ukrainian forces but he wants more of a permanent footprint just out of fear that, if ukraine falls, poland could be next. >> ainsley: thank you so much, peter. we're looking at video of our president with the president of poland, president duda. they are meeting this morning and our president's schedule to talk at 11:30 but he's running behind, so are not sure. >> brian: in terms of the actual war itself, vladimir putin stocking up troops again. they've been through about six weeks of training. he had a big draft and told everyone to report. a lot decided to leave the
5:06 am
country. it's estimated 250,000 people have left the country rather than stay and be a part of vladimir putin's war. other people saw the future in russia and said, "graham, we are going to leave and take whatever dollars we have with us." so that's going to be an issue. the other thing to keep in mind is that ukrainians are planning for a surge on their own. they are waiting for their people to get trained on the patriot missile's, they are training the u.s. and in western europe, and also waiting on more tanks. the leper 2s, the abrams tanks. for some reason we have to make them from scratch? i don't understand that. i thought we had some extras. it's been told to me and us that the marines have stopped using tanks. i'm not sure what the issue was, but it's a lot, and you see the death and destruction, every power station has been hit in the ukraine. 600 plus clinics and hospitals have been hit. thousands of children have been taken from their families,
5:07 am
forced into russia, and put up for adoption by these monsters in russia, and that's what the president is going to say. "i need allies to step up. i'm going to give f-16s. i'm going to give them the atacms and i need people to fulfill their obligation here." after the election comes in, he's going to start losing some support if there aren't big gains of the ukrainians. >> ainsley: peter said they've seen the population increased tremendously in poland because so many children and families and moms with their babies went over to poland and ended up living with the polish people. we've given them $113 billion in aid, including ml and javelins, and timer systems, antitank missiles, air surveillance radar, not to mention the tanks. >> steve: sure. for a lot of americans, if this becomes a thing where the president says, "i'm going to set a whole bunch of americans to poland," it's one thing when you write a check. it's been a big check,
5:08 am
$113 billion. but when you start sending american men and women over there, suddenly it becomes real in a different way. >> brian: that's not even on the table. american men and women being sent over there is not even on the table. >> steve: that's what president duda is asking for. how close is pull into ukraine? >> brian: right -- >> steve: if things go haywire -- >> brian: but we have troops there out. >> steve: that's just one of the worries from people who are saying this has become very expensive, and essentially we want to stand with ukraine but it's become very expensive and there is no end game. >> ainsley: for how long do we do that? >> steve: exactly. do we say will give you this much money and you're on your own? or ultimately do we say, you know what? you should be talking about a peace talks, a peace deal. >> brian: write committee 25% of your country and keep it. it's not even close to a peace deal. >> steve: it's all about the strategic interest for the
5:09 am
united states. when men and women and money go over there and a profound way, it's like -- i don't know that it's worth it. >> ainsley: what does russia do if we do pull back and we don't help? they take more. and they can move into poland, then we are all involved and it does become world war iii. >> steve: it's all speculative at this point. >> brian: it's not speculative that they want to expand. they took portions of georgia, 30 ukraine, they have plans to take belarus. here's kurt volker on the significance of pulling out of the nuclear deal. >> putin and the nuclear treaty, they weren't implanting it anyway. they weren't allowing inspections. i don't think he'll do it. i think he knows it would draw a devastating response against him and his military forces if he did, and i think his military is afraid to do it because they know that response will hit them, and they also know they don't have the protective equipment and using those nuclear weapons on the battlefield is going to hurt russian soldiers, as well, and it'll make the land uninhabitable. the whole point is to take land,
5:10 am
why make it uninhabitable? they are throwing if you think they can at this, and all we are doing is giving ukrainians just enough, which is great, and they need it, but we should do everything possible to end this war as quickly as possible so that fewer people die and we are not facing the temptation of a longer war and possibly a putin that survives and attacks other countries. >> steve: he's not alone. people would like to see this wrapped up as soon as possible. in addition to suspending the new start nuclear weapons treaty -- which, by the way, is the only treaty we've got with russia at this point -- mr. putin also said that russia must be ready to resume nuclear weapons testing if the united states does the same thing. so it's more of that quid pro quo stuff for mr. putin. >> brian: trump stared him down and said, "even breaking this treaty, i'm going to rip it up and we can start again." the other thing barack obama did, which was folly, he said to reset the relationship, take the missile defense system in eastern europe and just take it out. vladimir putin said that's a
5:11 am
great idea, side is weakness. next thing you know, he takes ukraine. that's the way he works. he sees any time of acquiescence in talking peace as weakness. he only understands the threat of power. >> steve: it'll be interesting to see what joe biden does say and we'll bring you those comments. ct we are watching the images. you got people in ohio after the train derailment that are saying, why is he there and he didn't come here? you have people on our southern border saying he needs to spend more money on our southern border, our northern border, and we are getting word -- there is an internal email going around, casey stegall working for fox received it, and it says the leadership within border patrol is asking agents to volunteer to redeploy to the northern border sector. i know you talked about this yesterday. they are asking for people to volunteer as early as march. we are asking our border patrol agents to leave their families for months at a time and to go and protect our borders. but they need it in some of the sectors. >> steve: because joe biden's business plan is not working,
5:12 am
because -- and they need more, in that particular swanton sector. see that little tiny area right thereby that body of water? encounters are up almost 900%. so they need people who are down on our southern border working in 70-80 degrees and go up to new york where it's 5-10 degrees, just because you've got a really big problem. earlier, richard judd spoke a little bit about what's happening at our northern border, and it is a clarion call. we have to do something about it, period. >> there have been several arrests since christmas, and it makes the whole town nervous. we are a small town with very few on the police force, they are taking the border patrol and sending them to the southern border. so it makes the whole north country nervous. i believe they know the northern border is not as occupied by the border patrol as they are in the south, and they are trying to
5:13 am
get across in the north. i think it's changed drastically in the last few years. >> brian: they asked air marshals to stop going in planes and go to the southern border. in other going at the air marshals to put the liner in their jackets and go up to the northern border? telling everybody have no more air marshals? fentanyl seizures are up in one year from 796 pounds, which seems so unthinkable, to 1200 pounds. in terms of overall northern encounters, they are up 303%. so we have decided to let both our borders open. i don't know how they do it, but the cartels have taken mexicans and other people that have gone to mexico and flown the move to canada to have them go that way. so it's not like we are dealing with russians coming through alaska through canada. we still are dealing with the southern border problem, but the people that want to come here going to try the northern bo border.
5:14 am
ct meanwhile, as an american citizen, when you come back your bags are checked for drugs. >> brian: how would you know? >> ainsley: and you have to show a passport. so when people are coming over and bringing fentanyl into our country and they don't have passports. they're not citizens. >> steve: it doesn't seem quite fair. >> ainsley: and he spent two hours and customs. >> brian: hypothetically, should anyone ever travel there. >> steve: that's what's going on at our northern border. now ashley joins us to tell us more about the turkey quake, and the numbers are jaw-dropping. >> ashley: it's really bad, especially on the heels of the one a couple weeks ago. rescue crews are digging through rubble in search of survivors after a new 6.4 magnitude earthquake rocks southern turkey and syria overnight. at least six people are dead and 300 are hurt. this national disaster hitting just two weeks after the 7.8 quake that killed at least 45,000 people. the revival per service that's been going on 24/7 since february 8th.

people. the sign that the free world has not forgotten them, that the free world and its biggest leader, the president of the united states, stand by them. i know that perfectly well, mr. president. i know how big courage it requires. thank you very much for that. i can imagine it was not easy, especially for all those who are responsible for the your security, sir. please pass my gratitude to them for me. they are standing somewhere in the background, but still, that was hard work they were doing. so thank you, mr. president, for that decision. we are delighted to host you in poland. this is also a crucially important sign to us, a sign of security. tomorrow we will meet with our allies around the east, because this visit is crucially important. it's a symbolic visit here to our region. we are seeing it not only as a visit paid here in poland, but a visit to our region combined with a visit to kyiv. it sends a powerful message of
5:22 am
responsibility, which the united states of america carries constantly, the responsibly for the security of europe and the world. the united states, which has demonstrated on multiple occasions its responsibility for european matters during the first world war, during the second world war, during the cold war, every single time. they restored the democratic rules, every time. the united states brought back freedom. people were able to restore their freedom. sometimes after tens of years, as it was the case is in poland in 1989. thanks to the movement of solidarity, of course, here in poland, the determination of the people, thanks to the influence exerted by st. john paul ii who million i've so much. but we know perfectly well this was due to very decisive american policy conducted by the u.s. authorities, by president ronald reagan, and at
5:23 am
last, the empire collapsed. the berlin wall collapsed. as a result, we regained our freedom. so, all of us, we are looking at what you did yesterday and we believe that america is able to maintain the global order, to glide down that guard the global order, and show all the aggressors who want to destroy other peoples lives, who want to take control of other countries, who want to enslave other nations, it shows that there is no acceptance of the democratic community represented by the united states of america to such behavior, to such acts. thank you for that, from the bottom of my heart. as i said, it sends an important signal to us, to us, the polish people, that your presence, mr. president, is very important. we are delighted that you will give your speech here in poland. we are delighted that this message will be sent from here, sarah, a message to address the whole world, because i'm sure
5:24 am
the whole world is going to follow. thank you for your decision. we are very glad for it. i'm the one hand, it proves how it is important for the united states, how are partf europe is important for the united states from the allied perspective, but also it is, to a certain extent, a confirmation that we are doing the right thing. the actions which we have been taking recently is by supporting ukraine, by sending weapons to ukraine, the helping ukrainians, by supporting them. it is proof that it is the right path, a proof that we are supported in this respect by the united states. we also are trying to give support to our neighbors, and we are trying to be not only the ones who have got security guaranteed by the united states and nato, but we are trying to be the ones who are providing the security to other states, the baltic states, where we are
5:25 am
part of our policy mission. we are deployed, and did not via our soldiers are stationed there, as well. and our tanks are regarding the security of latvia. sibley said, they're trying to demonstrate allied solidarity. i am even more grateful, mr. president. thank you for paying this visit here in poland, because i believe that the polish people also see it as an appreciation of the contribution that we have made in the construction of the security. and we are delighted to be able to host you here today, mr. president. this is also a powerful signal to the global and american investors. your presence, sir, your speech, it proves that poland is safe and secure, a country where you can safely, from the other side of the globe. these distances don't seem to be that much. some people might think this is
5:26 am
a dangerous place, but poland is safe and secure thanks to the presence of the u.s. armed forces, thanks to the presence of nato troops, and also, thanks to our efforts to reinforce poland's security, poland's defense capabilities. we are implementing them, and we are happy, mr. president, that your presence here is a visible sign of this presence. recently, we were speaking to our allies in europe. i did it during my meetings which i had in london and also at the munich security conference. i was saying that this, these development and this unique role which is being played through you, sarah, by the united states, it shows in a very clear way that it transatlantic bond is of key importance to europe. we are here together with the polish prime minister attending this meeting. the polish prime minister, who is the head of the government, and by this faction his hands
5:27 am
have the responsibility for the parliamentary majority of the day. in 2025, poland will take over their presence in the european union. so you'll pass a special resolution in may this year, and this marks the anniversary of our presence in the european union. we would like our presidency to be conducted under the motto of tightening the transatlantic bond, a stronger bond between the european union and the united states, more cooperation between the european union and the united states. and in economic matters, and security related matters. all of which is so important to us. this difficult time which we are experiencing in europe right now, and this extraordinary role played by the united states is an absolute demonstration of the fact that this is of key importance to the security into the future and of element of our continent. so we in poland have made a lot of experiences over the last centuries in our history,
5:28 am
especially over the last 100 years in our history. have no doubt about that. so, mr. president, once again, we are delighted, and a warm welcome to you, sir. >> president biden: thank you very much for that welcome. and any excuse to come back to poland, i take advantage of. the welcome has always been extremely generous, and i appreciate it. so thank you for inviting me back to warsaw at this critical moment. you know, you mentioned john paul. i think i told you the story, when i was a young senator, i wrote a report and had a very senior staff member on the foreign relations comm committee -- and that was a committee where the next youngest person on that committee was 32 years older than me. i came back from europe and i wrote a report saying that poland would be free within a matter of the year, and my chief of staff then said, "please
5:29 am
don't write that, you're going to look foolish." and i got a phone call from john paul asking whether i would meet with him. as a practicing catholic, i joked with him that he was more conservative than my views were, and i went to see him, and the conversation was all about poland. he never once mentioned anything about catholicism. it's a true story. we were walking from one end, if you've been to the papal library, it's about as wide and as long as this room, with a simple desk at one end and nothing much else in it. he said, "would you like a photograph?" and i said, "your holiness, i would like one." and we were walking from the desk to the other hand, he put his hand out and he said, "senator, remember today i spoke to you as a proud pole, not as your pope.
5:30 am
as a pole." [laughs] 's i realize the power of polan. all kidding aside, that happens to be a true story, but i was here last year and we visited the base where polish and american troops were, standing side by side, showing our strength and determination. the truth of the matter is, the united states need poland and nato as much as nato needs united states. because there is no way in which, for our ability to operate anywhere else in the world, our responsibilities extend beyond europe. we have to have security in europe. it's that basic, that simple, that consequential. it's the single most consequential alliance, i would argue, maybe the most consequential alliance in history. not just modern history, but in history. so i made it clear that the comments of the united states and our allies as part of the commitment is real.
5:31 am
a year later, i would argue nato is stronger than it's ever been. as i told president zelenskyy when we spoke in kyiv yesterday, i can proudly say that our support for ukraine remains unwavering. and as i told our russian counterpart, i said, you are seeking the finned e nato-izatif finland. if we keep our head and we are focused, i think we are in a better position then we have ever been. and i want to thank you, president, for how poland has supported ukraine. it's been extraordinary, what you have done. truly extra night. last year when i was here watching people come across the border, and the feeling of those
5:32 am
little children, the looks on those faces, their mothers, left behind, husbands and fathers, it was just incredible the way you welcomed. 1.6 million or 1.7 million ukrainians you have welcomed. we have reaffirmed our ironclad commitment to nato's collective security, including guaranteeing that the command headquarters for our forces in europe are going to be in poland, period. we are also launching a new strategic partnership with plans to build nuclear power plants and bolster poland's energy security for generations to come. mr. president, the connection between polish and american people is extremely strong and deep. i was kidding with the president, as a young man i was
5:33 am
born in a cold town of scranton, pennsylvania, in northeastern pennsylvania, in an irish catholic neighborhood. then, when coal died, we went down to claymont, delaware, which was a working class town, but everybody in town was either polish or italian. i grew up feeling self-conscious, that my name didn't end in -ski or -o. all kidding aside, i was telling the president, the pride, the overwhelming demonstrable pride that the polish americans feel about poland and the role you are playing now, it's extreme. if you haven't seen it, you should come and see it. there's a lot of challenges that we have to face, but i am confident we can do it together and develop our partnership even further, as we meet the
5:34 am
challenges we will have to face. i'm absolutely confident in that. so it is a delight to be back, and i am anxious to get our discussion going, although the president and i solved all the problems in the other room. is nothing left to solve. >> [laughs] >> president biden: all kidding aside, this is a critical, critical, critical relationship for the united states, and we thank you for all the cooperation and h help. >> reporter: president biden, any reaction? >> thank you. steal them so they you've got the president receiving a warm welcome from the president of poland. mr. duda spoke for about 10 minutes, and then joe biden, in a wide-ranging response, touching on all sorts of things, as is very joe biden. he thanked him and talked a
5:35 am
little bit about how he had spoken yesterday about president zelenskyy, and the unwavering support, ironclad, the president referred to it as ironclad support the united states has for ukraine. this is just a preview of what the president will be saying a little later on today, this afternoon, in poland. >> ainsley: breaking news, he says we are going to build nuclear power plants in poland paid something that raised eyebrow stress. i gather -- it sounds like the president of poland is so grateful that we are over there and that our president is there and thanked us for the help with ukraine and the polish people, which was a really nice message. and our president spoke and gave two or three stories about the catholic church and the pope and announce the nuclear power plants. >> brian: something we don't hear enough in this country, about our role in the past and the present as a beacon of freedom. he says after world war i we showed everyone what freedom is about, and the same role in
5:36 am
world war ii, then came back to 1989 when they got freedom again and the iron curtain lifted, and the cold war was temporarily over, then talked about how important for him it was to make that trip yesterday and to make sure the russian aggression does not stand. in terms of which you are referring to, ainsley. we know in the past the president has addressed a black audience and said he spent so much time in a black church that he went there more than his church. then we heard that there were so many puerto ricans in delaware that he felt like he was puerto rican. now we find out that there are so many names with the -ski he always wished he did, that he was polish. so we have a lot of situations where the president feels he can relate, even though he has to make stuff up. >> a little later on this afternoon, poland time, the present will be speaking and we will see that life. in the meantime, we'll take a quick timeout. in a minute, guy fieri joins us here on the couch.

5:44 am
head-to-head. every showdown's sudden death, and every round is tougher than the last. every chef must face off against the most dreaded opponent of all: the randomizer. the dish-generating monster that keeps getting more unpredictable. >> steve: you are whacking it with the skillet. my wife and i watch a lot of food tv. that is the best show. that is just flat out the best show. >> that took a while to get onto the air, but i built that show for all my brothers and sisters, the amazing chefs we have in this country. actually, in this world. i want to put the competition together to really give them a crowning title, so someone could be the season one, season two, they have something that the championship. it is the hardest -- >> steve: does speed matter? >> speed matters. to get 30 minutes. sometimes a little bit longer. but it is so grueling, because there's no way to prepare for it. you never know what the randomizer is going to give them. so they'll get a different protein, different vegetable, different piece of equipment, a different style, different time. no two competitions will ever be
5:45 am
the same. >> ainsley: is there anyone we went home and told your wife, this person is extremely talented? >> you can't see it right now, but i get goose bumps even talking about it. i watch 32 chefs come in, so i know really well and some i don't know it all, they are new. not new, but new to the competition, and i walk away after those nights of competition just looking at them and go, "what planet do these people come from? they are unbelievable." wait until you see it. this is breaking other records. >> steve: i feel bad for you, he had to go for the super bowl to the nba all-star game them again. how do you do it? >> and down to south beach wine this weekend. you can really see the pain. >> ainsley: and the dunk contest? >> matt was unbelievable. it's one of the greatest sporting events to go to, all-star weekend. and we got a chance to talk with him, and he was getting great advice to my young son, ryder. he's got hops and he's the real
5:46 am
deal. >> he just got signed. >> steve: we love seeing ryder and hunter and u. check out new episodes of " " tournament of champions" on food network. three, two, one, go. >> [laughs] that was awesome! >> brian: could you toss it to adam klotz for whether? >> absolutely. let's check it out with meteorologist adam klotz for a fox weather forecast. >> thanks, guys. the forecast in flavortown is always spicy. the forecast on fox square, a little bit on the chilly side. big winter weather. winter storm relates now stretching all across the pacific northwest into the midwest and eventually into your new england. there's going to be some blizzard-like conditions. tuesday beginning in the northwest and by tomorrow the worst of this is going to be in the northern plains. think the twin cities area, or you could be seeing a couple feet of snow, wins 40-60 miles an hour. this entire system moves to
5:47 am
new england by the time you get into thursday. interior new england, especially if you live along the coast, probably just a rainmaker. will you see snow or rain? is what that looks like. some of these areas seeing a whole lot of snow will come of it across the southern plains and the seven midwest and the southeast and mid-atlantic, this is just going to be a rainmaker. those are your weather headlines. for now, tossing it back inside to you. >> brian: thanks so much, adam. president biden moments ago meeting with polish president duda reaffirming america's community ukraine and saluting poland in the process. just a day after pledging another half billion dollar package to the ukrainians to fight and hopefully win. so what do the ukrainians on the ground think? lets ask one of them, a soldier with the territorial defense forces of ukraine, who joins us now from kyiv. it's great to see you in person. how is the president's visit being resaved on the ground for six hours? >> l, brian, nice to be on your show. let me tell you, it was quite phenomenal.
5:48 am
first of all, it was fantastic to see the president here as a manifestation of the support of the american people for what we are trying to do to defeat the russians. it was really an opportunity for ukrainians to express also their enormous gratitude to the american people for being shoulder to shoulder with us throughout the year. >> brian: vladimir putin spoke, too, about two hours ago. some of what he said, that ukraine started the war along with your allies, and he said that russia's utter existence is in the balance and therefore he'll do whatever it takes to be successful. the rumor is he is mounting 200000-500000 men forced to invade. what you think about this? >> they are planning something, brian. they are planning a major counteroffensive. it has always gone left. the defense secretary of the u.k. estimated the other day the 97% of the russian army is already in ukraine, and they have to double down and do
5:49 am
something because they have achieved nothing in a year. we are holding our own, we are holding them off. they have not taken the speefifteen. we are planning our own counter defensive, but for that, brian, we need to further support of the united states and the nato allies. we still need more weapons and we need them faster. we need more missiles, we need long-range missiles, we need shells, we need ammunition. i've got friends on the front lines, brian, that are really telling me that they are parsing out the ammo and trying to hold these guys back. these guys come in waves. he doesn't care anything about the lives of his own soldiers. they are just piling up bodies as we move them down. there's a lot more of them then there are of us. we can win this but we need help. >> brian: you can win it, but you need atacms, f-16s, a replenishment on ammo. do you think this is the year
5:50 am
you win or is that overstating it? >> we could absolutely win this, this year. president zelenskyy has talked about this. the defense minister has talked about this. if you give us the equipment and in the amounts that we need, in the time that we need it, we will get this done. this is the deal of the century. >> brian: i don't think i have to tell you, the americans are concerned about the money going to the right place. are you concerned? you are a money guide by trade. a concerned this is getting to the right place and there's no corruption involved? >> absolutely no corruption. there's no way. we've got three inspectors general from the united states here looking at the books. you can see on the battlefield, the stuff is getting to where it is supposed to go, because we are using it effectively and responsibly. and the cost is $14 a month for every american taxpayer.
5:51 am
i mean, it's 3.2% of the pentagon's budget. it is a rounding error. >> brian: somebody doing whatever it takes to win, not born a soldier but is a soldier now. thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. god bless the people of the united states. >> brian: let's check in with bill hemmer. >> bill: serious stuff. it's a serious place in significant issues. washington, moscow, beijing, all of it coming to a point. karl rove, dan hoffman, robert brian will help us go through it this morning. if the southern border wasn't enough, now is that the northern border. we will take you lives to border patrol there. and will artificial intelligence determine whether or not you keep your job? it's possible. dana and i will see you in 9 minutes half of the hour. a big show coming up. until then, back to ainsley downstairs. we will be watching, we know to be great. thank you, bill. our next guest starred as monaco for nine seasons on the hit tv series "touched by an angel."
5:52 am
>> i have a message from the father. he wants you to know he loves you very much, and he wants you to know that your life can have meaning and significance, because he has a splendid purpose waiting for you. speak to you now in her new book, "be an angel: devotions to inspire and encourage love and light along the way," roma downey inspires leaders to get in touch with their inner angels. she joins us now. good morning to you. congratulations. >> thank you so much. good morning. >> ainsley: look at you, you're still stunning. so beautiful. i grew up watching the show and it was really nice to turn on the tv and hear such a faith message. the show was wildly successful, very popular. all my friends are watching it, and to not hold your devotional intact he was such an honor. tell us about your new book. >> gosh, just hearing the clip of "touched by an angel," i realized i am still sharing the same message, and it is such a privilege to be able to do so.
5:53 am
it really is simple that there is a god, that he loves us, and he wants to be part of our lives. my new book, "be an angel," which launches today, is really about reminding each of us that we belong to each other, and to remind us all to be kind to each other. i think we can say that we believe, we can say that we love each other, but love is a verb, there is an action call to it. at the end of each chapter of "be an angel," i make a suggestion of ways to be an angel, ways to show kindness, ways to step up and make a difference in somebody's life. i think that, at this time we are living in, there is just so much mean-spiritedness out there, especially in social media. but i wanted to add a book and throw my hat in the ring and say, remember when we used to be nice to each other, guys? and in the spirit of goodness and in the spirit of god, let's be like angels and do good for
5:54 am
each other. >> ainsley: it is a great message. here's an excerpt from the book. it says, "what if we lived in such a way that kindness, truth, and love defined us? i believe it's possible for us to be like angels and bringing god's message to earth." tell us more about that. >> yes, well, i really do. i don't think it's that hard. during covid, when we were all locked down, i found myself on my phone a bit more than i typically would be, and i found myself on social media. don't get me wrong, i love a little bit of social media. i really particularly love instagram, where you get to see photos and see how everybody's kids and your friends are all growing up so nicely. but i was also struck by just the unkindness, the way that people are snarking and sniping at each other, particularly when they hide behind anonymous names. i decided intentionally to use my social media as a way of adding something positive to each day, even if it's just an
5:55 am
image of the sunrise, adding a blessing to it, or a piece of scripture, and that became kind of the inspiration for writing this book. it was like, just anecdotes from my own life. i am a woman in my 60s now, and i have learned some things along the way. i am in perfect just like everybody else, but i thought, if there's things i have learned from my losses, from my loves, from my disappointments, that perhaps it would be helpful to you. so there are stories for my life, with the lessons i've learned along the way, encouraging you to think about how it might have impacted your life, and as i say at the end of each chapter, suggestions to be an angel, everything from just randomly buying the person behind you in line for a cup of coffee, to intentionally praying for somebody that you know could use some prayer in their life right now. excited, it comes out today. it takes a long time to get
5:56 am
anything made, as you know, and there's a lot of people involved, great publishers they came up with an absolute gorgeous cover for the book that i love, a woman walking by some water, and then her wing is reflected in the water, reminding us all maybe that we have an inner angel. obviously i'm not suggesting we are angels. we know that we are not. which is that maybe we could be like angels. >> ainsley: we can act more like them. roma, thank you so much. god bless you. "be an angel," everyone pick it up. thank you to you and your husband who do so much for god's work and kingdom. we love you. ♪ ♪
