♪ >> steve: it is 7:00 in new york city. today is george washington's birthday. also known as presidents' day. it is bank holiday. banks are chosed. we are wide open because we need the overtime. welcome to "fox & friends" hour two for this as it says right there february 17th, 2025, kayleigh is in thank you for in. >> kayleigh: thank you for having me. >> steve: elon and donley from federal data. more cuts are coming to federal agencies. we will tell what you we know. >> kayleigh: migrant shelters shutting down after trump's border policy. >> lawrence: are your noise canceling headphones giving you problems dr. siegel will tell you later on today. >> steve: what? >> lawrence: actually i have had that problem. i'm interested to see what he has to say. mornings are better with

friends. >> lawre >> steve: let's kick this hour off. president trump asked the supreme court to let him fire the head of the u.s. office of special counsel. >> senior white house correspondent jacqui heinrich is live palm beach. hey, jacqui. >> good morning to you guys. this appeal marks the first time in his second term that president trump has called on the conservative majority supreme court to undo the ruling of a lower court. documents obtained yesterday by the associated press shoat administration wants permission to fire the head of the federal agency that protects whistleblowers a guy named hampton dellinger. former president joe biden appointed dellinger to the office of the special counsel watchdog office that enforces workforce protections for federal employees. and he is arguing that he can only be dismissed for job performance issues according to the law. the president has sought to dismiss dozens of top officials from posts across the federal government.

the lower court though opted to keep dellinger in his position at least until next wednesday, arguing that the legal process should play out because if they lifted this order, a flood of similar requests stemming from lawsuits against the president's executive orders would be, otherwise, triggered. the administration is arguing that the president's power has been cut short by all of this, so they are calling on the supreme court for a fast decision. meantime, while the president's legal team has been hard at work. the president has found some time to rally the troops, stopping by the daytona 500 this weekend in florida. this is just a week after he became the first sitting president to attend the super bowl. >> this is your favorite president. i'm a big fan. i'm a really big fan of you people tha. how do you, this i don't know. i want you to be safe. you are talented and great people and great americans have. a good day, have a lot of fun, and i'll see you later. >> kayleigh: after that event the president did take a number of questions from reporters on

what's mr. playing out overseas cabinet trying to negotiate -- begin negotiations to the end to the russia-ukraine war, guys. >> steve: so, jacqui, is donald trump and his administration, is he trying to get rid of people like you just talked about the head of the special counsel's office, is he trying to just put his own guy in there or is it -- is this also about reducing the federal workforce? what is it about? >> i mean broadly the administration is trying to make sure people in their positions and this is a very general statements, who are in their positions are willing to carry out the orders of the president. and the wishes of the president carry out his agenda. while they also work to trim the fat, so to speak and make sure that the government operates efficiently. i haven't had a chance to look over the full text of the documents, you know, that the a.p. got their hands on, the legal arguments for why the president wants to remove this person from his position, broadly, any president wants to

have their own people in these posts and the president, you know, the former president biden put this guy where he is right now. so, more detailed answer for you if you would like next hour. but you generally that's been the strategy of this administration. >> steve: okay. and, jacqui, last week you were with us on the north lawn and it was snowing and today you are in palm beach. >> kayleigh: sunny. >> steve: good assignment. >> jacqui: i like this a lot better. >> kayleigh: i love the orange jacket you love sunny and beautiful. >> jacqui: thank you, the weather suits it. >> steve: lucky. currently 28 degrees. the wind is blowing 40 miles per hour here. >> kayleigh: yes. it's very cold. one thing morning to say about this herbert dellinger the head of the office special counsel. trump guy put forward on this. and they said when you think back to the fund founding fathers, the first congress didn't say you have to go to

congress to say you get to provided a vice and consent to someone who is an executive officer of the president? i mean it takes a ton of sense. this is once again the lawfare just the left going after each and every decision meticulously. >> lawrence: kayleigh, as you point to, it's clear that's going to be the tool that the democrats use assistance of the medias well is using the courts to litigate. this and i think that the president is going to be found in reason with the actions is he taken taking going to slow down the process. ask the democrats the question what was happening the last four years when the president couldn't essentially do his job. we heard what the special counsel said. it was essentially a white house full of staff members that was running the country. and so if it was good for the prior administration, why isn't it okay right now second thing is a lot of people have been talking about classified

information with elon musk. elon musk has had a top security clearance before donald trump. he did during the biden administration or obama administration because he has defense contracts with the government. so he has had a security clearance. i don't understand why they are making a big deal about this. again, i think they know this is going to be okay. but they are using this to-to-slow down the process. hopefully they feel like during the midterms they may get new sights and they can just slow down the agenda. >> steve: look, the way they built our government there are three separate co-equal branches of government. >> kayleigh: that's the word. >> steve: the administration, the executive branch can do what they want. the courts can do what they want. the congress can do what they want. keep in mind as we talk about all this doge stuff, it was congress that gave the executive branch all the money to do all this stuff that we're talking about. >> kayleigh: yes. >> steve: ultimately, i think that and we should point out today that federal judge tanya chutkan today at 11:00 is trying

to stop the trump administration and doge from looking at any of the federal data. she is not ruled on it so far. it will being it to see what she says she will be pretty much the final say unless it goes to the supreme court that could take months or years that really will dictate what doge does. when you look at some. things going on right now as the president 5200 probationary employees are going to be fired from the health and human services. 1300 expected to be laid off at the centers for disease control. and 80 will be cut from the centers for medicaid services it's one of those things as bobby kennedy jr. takes the hemm

at that particular department. >> doge has particularly angered the left. this is what they ever up in arms about. i remember sitting there and it's inauguration day and all the pomp and circumstance and looking at my computer, headline three lawsuits filed against doge. this is inauguration day. and this one was w. chutkan that you point out. this is threatening the very core of doge. saying the whole thing needs to be thrown out the window. all of this. i don't think they end up prevailing on this. they may prevail with chutkan temporarily. when they go to the supreme court, look at this appointment clause, congressional approval. here's what he thinks they will say. >> the law is on your side. plus, when you are serving in the public interest and the public is in favor of it. that's something that i think the supreme court recognizes. democrats here are picking the wrong battle. what person in their right mind

wants to continue billions of taxpayer dollars squandered on waste and fraud? they are so reflexively against anything that trump does. their lawsuits make them look like they favor financial abuse. what doge and musk has uncovered so far is really shocking americans our federal bureaucracy is the definition of bloated. isn't it about time that a president had the courage to put the government on an ozempic diet congress is making they have oversight all of these agencies. >> steve: which is true. >> lawrence: they are not cutting. you haven't been watching. you have not been watching your government agencies, except for your districts. that's where the push to the shove is going to come.

a lot of these congressional republicans, as well. get all of these kickbacks and they put all this is going to impact my district in this way american people is frustrated with all of this. i think as the president says defense is going to be next there is going to be a lot of districts that are going to be impacted from an employment standpoint. i think we got to do the right thing. if it's hurting american people. if it's not for america first get rid of it. >> ainsley: irs agents. let's cut there. >> steve: sounds like the irs is preparing to lay off thousands this week. you know, we had heard a couple years ago that joe biden wanted to hire 80,000 more irs agents owe never got that many. 10 or 20,000. they will will pare it back. collections, privacies, and customer service. and right now, the irs is

terrible at all of them. think about it. elon musk has built three of the most up to the second companies in the world, a bunch of them. if there's anybody on the planet who can look at a system and say okay, you could stream like it like this just do it this way. the machines, the computer technology used by the irs and by federal law enforcement is. >> lawrence: old. >> steve: a lot of those computers still have tubes in them it makes sense they would do it. there's a lot of pain. there is a lot of pain for the people caught up in it. if you're a probationary employee and bright hopes of working for the federal government. if have you been there less than two years a good chance you have already been laid off or about to be laid off. >> lawrence: what american is going to be protesting this week about the irs employees going out of business? >> i don't understand the strategy. it's like the president is setting the democrats up.

he is giving them he is proposing things they should not disagree with american people don't disagree with it. protests this week with the democrats some legislature in front of the irs building and american people are sitting at home like why? >> kayleigh: i hope we get chuck schumer screaming with the avocado and ear beer. it's highly effective for republicans. some of these federal employees are good workers, absolutely. >> steve: absolutely. >> kayleigh: there's another class where when you read this reporting like nbc, their backgrounding speaking to reporters on conditions of anonymity. we are going to be here as long as we want. i heard one say trump is here four years i could be here 30 if i wanted. i'm sorry, that's the wrong attitude. that's not the kind of person i want using my taxpayer dollars working on my behalf. >> steve: lawrence, i got an answer for you. the reason there are protests. the reason chuck schumer is holding up two things from mexico, is because so many

employees are members of their union. >> lawrence: 100 percent. >> steve: union saying come on we don't want to lose 30% of our membership, because that's 30% of their cash. that goes on to explain what is going on. side effects of what donald trump has done on day one. one of the first things he did he turned off the cbp one app. and remember, if you are in another country, you could just go on your phone and you could apply for asylum then you would be granted on a certain date to be named by your phone an appointment at that court. a lot of people made appointments into san diego. but they turned it off at noon on january 20th. as soon as the president took office and now there is an ngo. bill melugin tweeted this out yesterday a nongovernment office organization that is to say that essentially has said you know what? , ever since they turned it off, we don't have any new migrants

jewish family service of san diego. migrants no longer able to use the cbp 1 app. migrant shelter services has not received new asylum seeking families individual released from the short-term federal custody into our care. due to the changes in federal funding and policy, migrant shelter service also be paused until there is better understanding the future community -- this should have been shut counsel to begin with i just think about this story. i think about the millions of dollars that was coming to new york. i'm like my home state of texas didn't get any of this money. didn't get any of this money. and honestly we shouldn't have to get this money because these folks should have never been able to come into the country this way. because of the president's actions just within three weeks. that has all come to a close president trump wants it to be factor tore quicker, faster

pace. >> kayleigh: he wants zero illegal entrants. the actual number of border encounters around 3,000. first seven days of trump it was just around 1,000 a little bit of will, a little bit of effort and seven days meant that you brought down the number of illegal border entrants by two thirds now you have the san diego shelter shutting. is he achieving a lot so is tom homan, kristi noem, stephen miller, they should be proud. they are saving american lives with these actions. >> steve: looking at some of the ice actions over the last couple of weeks. what is interesting about this organization jewish family service, they have been in bills it sounds like for six years. there is a story on fox news digital right now about it. they say they never got any -- it sounds like in reading the story they say they never got any federal money; however, fox digital went into the fema grant list, and discovered that this organization got $22 million in

fema money in 2024. >> lawrence: unbelievable. >> steve: last week i got a text message or something, a messenger message from somebody who works with at fema, fema a lot of money the way this past administration dealt things. how are they going to pay for all the migrants? they took the emergency money. and every time there was a disaster around the world. they would go back to congress and say there was an earthquake. there was a hurricane. we need more money for fema. and it's like okay, we got to help those people. so much of the fema money has gone to the migrant shelters and we found out about that last week here in new york $80 million was clawed back by the trump administration because it's like, wait a minute, fema money should go to disasters. >> lawrence: also we got homeless people all over the

country. veterans on the street that can't afford things. can't afford housing. and we are putting it to -- this is type the -- >> kayleigh: you served your country and money is going to illegal immigrants? >> steve: there is money for american homeless shelters unfortunately being contorted and diverted over to the roosevelt hotel which is right over there. >> kayleigh: we will divert to carley shimkus for headlines. >> news overseas to get. to say british prime minister kier starmer says is he ready to send british troops to ukraine if any type kind of peace deal is made to end the war can russia. starmer telling the daily telegraph any role to help guarantee security is helping to guarantee the security of our continent and the security of this country. starmer also adding that sciewrlg a peace deal is essential to stopping putin from further aggression. pope francis spending a third, quote: peaceful night in the hospital according to local

stone and actor alec baldwin, actor jack nicholson making a very rare public appearance at 87 years old. later actor tom hanks joined in on the celebration with this interesting maga portrayal. >> i know exactly who that is the church lady. >> yes, yes that. that is correct.that is the chu. >> you speaking of church can i say something? if more folks went to church we wouldn't be in this mess we are in now. >> you know i agree with you, doug, i would like to shake your hand. >> no, no. >> show ending with a memorable performance by beatles singer paul mccartney who performed an abby road medley, guys, snl 50 is getting a lot of attention even as we enter this week it happened over the weekend, of course. >> i don't censor comedy but that wasn't funny. >> kayleigh: must have gotten the script from don lem not

being able to point out a country on the map? that's ridiculous. >> steve: i watched the first hour. it was great. it was very funny. steve martin was very funny. the funny thing about that particular skit and tom hanks came in at the end of a game show they called black jeopardy. the funniest part was they had eddie murphy return. they had a lot of returning alums of snl come by he came in and did a dead on impersonation of tracy morgan who was standing right next to him. that was hilarious. >> kayleigh: that was wonder years steve martin and eddie murphy the new snl i don't watch it lawrence the implication is that the trump voter didn't want to shake the black's hand. >> steve: they are racist. >> lawrence: someone covered more rallies at this network especially when i was working for sean hannity there absolute of love there one of the under reported stories is the black voters in poor neighborhoods,

working class neighborhoods and white voters in the trump coalition how they felt left behind. that's what trump went after this last election. so this whole notion that they are distanced from minority communities, this election just disproved all of that. >> kayleigh: that's well-said. that's a really underreported story line and beautiful one when you really look at it. >> steve: 50 year anniversary which was in that building right there last night, it started with paul simon and sabrina carpenter. and paul simon started by saying i sang this song it was homeward bound. i sang this song in 1975 with george harrison. and then sabrina carpenter goes 1975, i was not born yet. >> kayleigh: nor was i. >> steve: and neither were my parents. >> kayleigh: we were not born yet. >> lawrence: we were not. >> kayleigh: democrats crying quid pro quo.

>> they have literally taken the n.i.e. mayor of new york city who was facing and is facing serious charges of bribery, which was going to be expanded and turned them into their own political pawn. >> this is outrageous violation of the rules of prosecutors. >> it is an outright extortion. >> democrats alleging that criminal charges against new york city mayor eric adams were dropped in exchange for his cooperation on immigration. even after adams denied those claims on the show. >> my attorney, alex expire row. imagine him going inside vote since 2022 is if you drop the charges. that's quid pro quo. that's a crime. it took her three weeks in front

of her a criminal conviction? >> mayor adams and i met months ago, 8, 9 weeks ago we met and we had the same discussion. we talked about getting a presence in rikers island. >> kayleigh: joining us now to discuss is counselor to the president alina habba. it's a pleasure to speak with you. looking at this with eric adams. i just had to laugh when i hear amy klobuchar call him a political pawn. are you a political pawn for complying with federal immigration law? >> only political pawns that exist in the state of new york are the das and ags literally interfering in what the president has ordered. let's not forget something, kayleigh, you bring up a great point, this man was prosecuted because he was anti-sanctuary city policies. he wanted new york to be safe. he said i'm going to protect the people of new york. that's the job i was given. and all of a sudden wow, he is

prosecuted under charges and gone after. i can't imagine anybody else that happened to. that's the crime. that is the crime. so, now, he comes in and he says i'm going to cooperate and do exactly what i have been saying i wanted to do for months before they prosecuted me and persecuted me and i'm going to help clean up the city of new york, which is disaster, as we know. >> alina, i think that's a fantastic point that you make. the biden doj they had a history of going after political enemies from pro-life protesters ohio spoke with and interviewed to, as you very well know, because you represented him, your client, donald j. donald trump who is now the president of the united states. and you get to eric adams and tom homan made an important point. he said we met in december and we talked about opening this place on rikers. but, yet, there's this bombshell meeting they say this all took place last week. they met in december and spoke about this. >> it's absolutely true. and, you know, amy in particular. she -- i was listening to her at

the fbi confirmation hearing for kash patel. she has some real anger issues. i don't know where that's coming from because all we are trying to do isn't all president trump is ordering is safety protection, border security, fentanyl crisis to go down, economy to go up that's what we are working on here, getting american people jobs. so to get angry about that is just comical to me. mayor adams how dare he cooperate with president trump. comical to me. maybe he should be singing songs protesting instead of working with the american people like some of the other democrat partners over there is he not. he is going to work. pulling the america first agenda and working to getting new york to a better place. i commend him. to say then say there is collusion, this, that. the only collusion is when they were prosecuting him and donald trump. we know that all too well. >> kayleigh: bring in dana bash with one of the worst questions i think i have heard asked.

listen to this. >> if he doesn't do the things that you want him to do, would you be okay with doj reowning its investigation into him? should they do that? >> that's out -- that's out of my lane. i'm a border caesar. czar. i care about removing public safety threats from the country. >> kayleigh: i thought trump appointed tom homan to fix the border did. i miss something? is he now at doj? [laughter] >> i think she must have thought tom was pam which i wouldn't put above danna. at the end of the day, kayleigh, her question is absurd for another reason. if he doesn't do what you want him to do, will you prosecute him? let's say it was pam bondi, let's say that's the question she asks me. that question in itself tells you the way they think. if you do not do what we want you to do we will come after you. no, that's what you did to mayor adams. he didn't want to do what the biden administration wanted and they came after him. it's the way they think.

it was actually a very telling question in itself never mind to the wrong person. >> kayleigh: counselor to the president, alina habba, thank you. >> thanks, kayleigh. >> kayleigh: european leaders are holding an emergency meeting about president trump. that's today. we'll tell you what this is all we'll tell you what this is all about. emergen-c supports your immune system with so much more than vitamin c. be ready to fight back with emergen-c and for on-the-go immune support try emergen-c crystals. no water needed. at harbor freight, we design and test our own tools and sell them directly to you. no middleman. just quality tools you can trust at prices you'll love. whatever you do, do it for less at harbor freight. ♪

>> steve: let's talk weather, 10 people including 9 in the commonwealth of kentucky are dead after powerful storms and flooding tore through the ohio and tennessee valleys over the weekend. kentucky's governor beshear says at least 1,000 water rescues were made throughout the weekend in his state. meanwhile, in neighboring tennessee, the floodwaters were enough to overpower a levy levee

flooding an entire town. you could tell by her hair it's a little windy. huge storm. take a look at it first wind gusts in excess of 70 miles per hour last night in new jersey and we could potentially see 40 to 50 miles per hour. so that's going to cause delays and maybe some power outages. cold weather alerts as far as south as texas. we are talking about wind chills in the negative 58 range for new hampshire. negative 50 for minnesota and north dakota. here is our storm system we are watching very closely tuesday through wednesday. moving across the mississippi mi river valley. where does it go next? we have to really take a look at all the computer models, i-95 corridor on alert for heavy snow. maybe the heaviest snow you have seen so far this season. so this is the big deal that we're going to be watching this week. again, over areas like tennessee

and kentucky. where we had that flooding. so it's going to be a one-two punch for some of these areas. we will continue to keep you up to date. come on over here my friend. what's your name from boston? >> from boston. >> you're wearing shorts, why? >> came out to get an iced coffee and diet coke for my wife. >> janice: hi to anybody at home. >> to my folks in walton, massachusetts. >> janice: your wife? >> she is up showering and everybody at lamore, california, too. >> janice: stay warm my friend. you want to say hi to lawrence. >> hey lawrence and steve who else is on the couch. >> janice: good morning, everybody, keep up the great work and have a good day. >> janice: i love it. lawrence,. >> i appreciate it. >> lawrence: i lets the wife shower. goes out, gets coffee. got her a diet coke. that's what we are talking about. >> lawrence: a little bit of breaking news. the u.k. prime minister starmer will reportedly meet with the u.s. president donald trump next week in washington, d.c.

after saying he is open to sending british troops to ukraine. this comes as the french president macron gathers major european leaders for an emergency summit in paris today to discuss security. the president trump on the global stage. former trump deputy national security adviser k.t. mcfarland joins us now. k.t., morning to you. >> great to be with you. >> lawrence: let's talk about the freakout on the world stage. the president is trying to start a negotiation to end the war. he talked about this on the campaign trail. and, yet, they are freaking out and i guess the question is why? >> i i don't think they ever believed president trump would ever do this. president trump said his legacy is as a peacemaker. what's he trying to do? bring an rapid end to the u.k. war europeans and biden administration we can't have solution to that ukraine war because we can't trust putin.

therefore, let's not negotiate. therefore, america, we expect to you shoulder the burden of any defense ukraine is going to do. for the british prime minister and the french president to be saying look, america, you have got to do more when they are not willing to do more is just the height of hypocrisy. >> lawrence: to that point this is what the u.k. prime minister is saying. he said it's clear europe must take a greater role in nato as we work with the united states to secure ukraine's future and face down the threat we face from russia. so, he is saying that he is willing to send troops to the -- to ukraine. president trump has already said that's not an option for the american military though, right? >> >> no. come on. first of all, the prime minister of great britain is the one who is cutting their defense budget. so put your money where your mouth is if you really expect that you are going to play a major role in defense of europe you ought to be contributing to the nato budget. you ought to be increasing your defense spending.

the suggestion that the british are going to put troops on the border of ukraine or troops in ukraine is, what troops? really? you don't have a military anymore. and the thing that you are going to do somehow without nato you are going to act on your own to send a military that you don't have that much of to a war you can't possibly win? i think it's hot air they are blowing. >> lawrence: it's silly. and i don't think the british people would appreciate that as well. let's talk about the negotiation. there seems to be this division in the media that they're trying to create between the president and zelenskyy say going he is going to be a part of the negotiation or not the president, donald trump responded to that, let's watch. >> well, we are working to get it done, i mean, you know, it's too bad it started it. would have been easier to end it before it started. that would have been a big problem for us. and this would have caused me a big problem. you just can't let that happen. i think he wants to end it and

they want to end it fast. >> do you expect zelenskyy to be involved in these conversations? what will his goal be? >> i do. he will be involved, yes. zelenskyy wants to end it, too. >> lawrence: of course he is going to be involved. k.t., we know that putin was the aggressor here. no one is dismissing that. but none of the world leaders wanted to talk to the guy. and donald trump is saying we got talk with him. yeah, how do you have a peace agreement. talk to the opposition, of the guy you are fighting. doesn't mean that putin is a good guy. doesn't mean he was the aggressor. there was a deal to be done and with vladimir putin, not with all british heads of state and all the other countries who are not contributing to the common defense. >> lawrence: that's why the president is saying we got to have peace. we got to have a conversation to start that negotiation. k.t., thank you for getting up this morning. >> thanks, lawrence. >> lawrence: you got it. are your noise canceling headphones causing problems with

♪ >> steve: questioning a possible connection between noise canceling headphones an an inability to process sound by your brain. audiologists are apparently seeing increase in young people referred with hearing issues only to discover which when they test them their hearing is fine. what's up with that? fox news senior analyst dr. siegel joins us now. dr. siegel, i was wearing noise canceling headphones for two hours yesterday watching juror number 2, the clint eastwood movie on an airplane. i love them because they cancel out all the extra sound you just hear the movie whereas the thinking in europe is canceling out that sound kind of limits your brain. >> retrains your brain auditory processing disorder 1% to 5% of the population where your hearing is okay but you can't ferret out muffled sounds --

seem muffled from a distance. supposedly according to these audiologists, because of these headphones, i talked to dr. tom rolland who is our expert in the inner ear nyu langone one or two in the country. no way, these noise canceling hheadphones are great like you said, steve. they help you. that's been used therapeutically for kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. >> steve: help them to focus. >> positive to helping you focus. in the downside is if you go above 80 decibels, can you cause headaches. can you cause dizziness. can you actually toledo hearing issues. so the key here is use them but don't use them at too high a level. >> steve: are they finding in the united kingdom they are saying that some people wear them all the time and so their brain, essentially is getting a little lazy? >> that's what they are suggesting, but they don't have the research to back them up.

but i actually agree with the final point you are making. i wouldn't wear them all the time. let's wear them when we need them on the plane when people are saying there is steve doocy over there, let's go bother them and you are trying to watch a movie. >> steve: why is he in the exit row? absolutely. now, if i was wearing them right now, i couldn't hear you talk. so i would have to take them off and put them down there. >> marc: use them appropriately. >> steve: there you go. let's talk about this. this is something getting a lot of headlines. i know people like chocolate and also like their coffee. you say there is a good combination now that you have adopted it's not coffee and chocolate. coffee and tea? >> dr. siegel: no, it's tea and dark chocolate. let me explain. i have my cup of coffee in the morning. >> steve: you still have the coffee? >> i love my coffee in the morning. throughout the day i have found that if i have tea by me, i feel full. and i don't want to eat. and tea plus dark chocolate very healthy, a lot of them have ant oxidants in them.

tea has polyfen nils in them. dark chocolate magnesium and calcium and copper good for you. low in sugar and high in antioxidants. decreasing good for blood pressure. decreases risk of cancer. all very positive stuff. ginger tea. here is my prescription for "medical monday." ginger tea is the best in terms of decreasing inflammation. steve doocy's next food book? ginger tea, wow. okay. what are you drinking right there? >> i have cinnamon tea that's what we have in the green room i happen to love it. cinnamon tea. it gives you a tang in your mouth and not thinking where is my omelet, you know? >> steve: tea and a tang. one final important point. the other day i was eating chocolate i said to my wife dr. siegel said this is good for

you. she said that is milk chocolate it is not as good for you as dark chocolate. >> dr. siegel: dark chocolate has more of the iningredients i was talking about. antioxidants. calories are about the same. we all have a thing for milk chocolate but dark chocolate is actually healthier for you. >> steve: dr. siegel joining us on "medical monday." >> dr. siegel: this is make america healthy again this instead of medications, look. >> steve: indeed. >> dr. siegel: good to see you. >> steve: marc, thank you. go downstairs and carley is going to tell us about something going on in europe. >> carley: that's exactly where i'm going to begin, steve. >> jordan peterson keynote speech at the alliance for responsible citizenships second global forum in london joins us afterwards to tell us about the importance of this event. >> we're lost in the west because our identities have become very inward looking and self-centered and you find your true identity in service to others.
