Chief strategist. He called me a great man last night he obviously changed his tune pretty quick. Im knot going to waste my time talking about a book that is complete fantasy. The president met with six republican senators to talk about immigration. We are going to have a wall. Remember that. The dow has another record day on wall street closing above the 25,000 mark for the First Time Ever if you want then girl you got me. Brian never heard this song. Steve jason derulo. Yesterday a blizzard was bearing down on new york city. It has come. It has gone for the most part. Here in an hour or two they are going to open one of the big airports because its been closed the whole time. Here we are in that building right there. Ainsley such a beautiful shot. I walked in this morning and tweeted about it i still pinch myself. Its friday. I love my job. Love you guys. Thank you so much for waking up with us. Its going to be a great weekend. Steve it is. Ainsley yesterday if you looked out the window here in new york you saw so much snow and true along most places on the east coast. You walked outside. No one wanted to but when i walked out, it was so peaceful. There werent a lot of cars on the road. Steve you could only hear the chattering of everybodys teeth. It was cold. Brian you know the squirrels were in the tree. Ainsley people can handle the cold its the wind. Brian i cannot handle the cold. I quit. Steve bring me spring. Brian lets talk about a series of things that we have to get through that all are extremely important. Arguably the most important a finally there is going to be a legal examination to the Clinton Foundation and was there aindeed a pay for play operation in the years in which she was secretary of state and he was a forme former steve apparently the wall street journal and other news outlets have discovered apparently there have been fbi investigation in little rock, arkansas which of course is the home of the president ial library and foundation of bill clinton and, brian, you are absolutely right. What they apparently are looking into is when she was secretary of state, did the clintons promise something to get something in return . And also, did the clintons comply with tax laws . In other words, were things supposedly tax exempt but used for personal purposes. Ainsley this morning when i was hearing that i thought doesnt anyone who dont United States to a campaign, they are doing it because they want something in return for the most part . Foreign governments do that individuals do that but what theyre also investigating here is the Clinton Foundation, which obviously is a nonprofit organization, its like a church. They dont have to pay taxes. So if you gave millions of dollars to this organization, to this foundation, were they using that for political gain, promising individuals, promising foreign governments, we will do this for you while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state under the Obama Administration . Brian sara carter doing this investigation knew about it ahead of time. And now its been formalized. Here she is. Not only with regard to the uranium one scandal but all we have to do is look at what happened with the Clinton Foundation. We know that that actual investigation was never thoroughly shut down. It never officially closed. So, this is very important. And there are a lot of senior fbi agents. A lot of people not just in little rock but in new york and in florida and in other places where they have been investigating the Clinton Foundation who are breathing a breath of fresh air right now and are really taking heart to whats going on in little rock. And im sure theres going to be a lot more information coming out in the next few months. Steve heres the thing. They better hurry. The statute of limitations when it comes to most federal felonies is five years. Hillary clinton left federal office five years ago lets see 2013. We are now at 2018. Its got to be done this year if they are going to do it the all. Ainsley the doj, department of justice are really busy. They are working on that investigation. They have agreed to land over all of the documents associated with the dossier. House Intelligence Committee who was chaired by devon nunes has been requesting this for months. Steve stonewalled. Ainsley thats right. The detected line was wednesday. The doj has said okay well release all the documents now and we are going to release all the introduce that we had with people that were affiliated with this. Brian this is Pretty Amazing because for the most part we are going to get a look at the you were herb echeln of the fbi peter strzok, ms. Page, as well as foble the ohr couple that. Steve bruce ohr. Brian i was going to say bobby ohr. Steve thats because there was so much ice. Brian both these people had all their teeth unlike bobby ohr who had a couple. Ainsley they interviewed them now they are going to release that information. Brian its going to be fascinating to see how this thing went down. Ainsley they are also going to release all those Text Messages between lisa page and peter strzok. Steve of all the people they are going to be talking to, the fbi people and unredacted witness testimony as well, they are looking at all these people regarding the dossier because it looks like a they are at the fbi yet they have a political bias which you cannot have that the fbi is not used to this kind of scrutiny of the people who work up on the seventh floor but, you know, now devon nunes as of next week is going to have all the stuff he has needed to look to see whether or not there was political bias going on in the decision whether or not to essentially for this government to spy on the trumps. Brian keep your eye on this. A federal judge has said fusion gps has to expose their financials and find out who was paying whom. Fusion gps who wants transparency cut a deal to go behind closed doors transcripts does senator grassley think thats relatively laughable. Now fusion gps is suing to get excuse me, appealing to stop the release of their financials to find out if Christopher Steele was getting paid by the russians and getting paid by fusion gps. Ainsley this judge is saying no. They are being subpoenaed, fusion gps to release all their financial documents. They are appealing it because the judge said no. You have to release all of this. Meanwhile, President Trump was tweeting last night. And he was slamming Michael Wolffs new book. And giving steve bannon a new nickname. Steve indeed. Heres the tweet if you missed it this is from the president. He tweeted i authorize zero access to white house, actually turned him down many times, mr. Wolf, for author of phony book. I never spoke to him for book, full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that dont exist. Look at this guys past and watch what happens to him and sloppy steve. Of course, sloppy steve. Ainsley is not you. Steve he is referring to steve bannon. I was watching on twitter this morning, people think of his nicknames that he has dubbed people that is a very effective one. That will stick. Ainsley within minutes it went to the top trending list. Brian you know the problem is he has been on the inside for the longest time. If anyone wants to marginalize and say there is another trump hater writing a book and what do you want he . Theyre surprised steve bannon prior to this book being released which he cooperated with it seems has been in trumps corner and said as late as yesterday he is still going to fight for the trump agenda and thinks donald trump is a great man. The problem is he gave hours of introduces, many of which are taped. A lot of people come out and say they were misquoted they have to know, too. If they did walk across the street to the hey adams and talk to Michael Wolff that he taped those stories, those introduce. Steve absolutely. Ultimatery though the president of the United States probably sold a lot of books for Michael Wolff because his lawyer came out yesterday and said you have got to stop that now mike wall wolfs publisher said as of yesterday, you know what . We are going to put it on sale as of midnight. So you can go out and buy it. Ainsley on tuesday. Thats why this book was going to drop next tuesday. Steve or friday. Ainsley they are going to drop it today because they are planning on it being such a success. Brian the ink will still be wet so watch your fingers, Rush Limbaugh on the leak and damage to trump. Listen. I will tell you everything that i heard all about bannons time in the white house. Im just going to its some of it is real. Some of it you might call gossip. The thing that i think everybody believes and that Everybody Knows is that most of the leaking that was coming out of the Trump White House was steve banno bannon. Over half of it. And thats what don jr. And jared well, don jr. s comments primarily thats what they are referring to. And i have that on almost unassailable authority. Steve and then he went to a commercial. I recognize that music. I think what the president has learned with this book coming out is in washington, d. C. You hire some of the professional people who have been in washington for years, there is absolutely zero loyalty. Somebody who is loyal though to this president is Sarah Huckabee sanders, she is the press secretary. She will be with us at 7 30. Speaking of numbers, did you miss this yesterday in the Dow Jones Industrial average closed above 25,000 for the First Time Ever. Brian they have also added a ton more jobs about 55,000 more jobs than they thought. Unemployment claims are down as low as they have been since 1990; all indications are that this economy is going to continue to grow like this. And even the Washington Post today writes about all the cataclysmic predictions for the trump four years in office because of his because of some of the policies and how he was viewed. Yet the world has responded, the International Markets are doing great and our economy is roaring. So all those doom and gloomers so far are 100 percent wrong. Ainsley this book everywhere i went yesterday everybody saying thats a distraction. Distraction to take away from whats really happening. If you are retiring any time soon, your 401 k looks really really good. Steve 401 k is now like a 601 can. They say the next stop will be 30,000. Nothing stopping. Ainsley dont retire yet. Brian i watched Fox Friends First this morning. Are you retiring, jillian . Jillian i have been considering. This retiring just a little early. Brian just a little early . Okay. Jillian good friday morning to you guys and to you at home as well. Lets get to the extreme weather. The east coast bracing for round 2. Brutal air is moving in and fast. We are talking as low as 40 degrees below zero. The below freezing temperatures coming just hours after the powerful system unleashed havoc leaving major cities paralyzed. Four deaths and left boston drowning in floodwaters. Intense winds and out when conditions forcing the Worlds Largest passenger yet to land at new yorks tiniest airports the air bus 380 was on its way from germany to jfk airport when it was diverted to stuart airport bowers the runways at jfk had been shut down. Crazy. Now to a fox news alert. For the first time in more than two years, north and south korea will sit down for formal talks on tuesday. The rogue regime accepting the souths offer after reopening the border hotline. The rivals will discuss the Winter Olympics and how to improve their strained relationship. This comes as the u. S. Announced it will delay annual military exercises with south korea until after the olympics next month. The popular game show jeopardy now on hold as its popular and long time host alex trebek recovers from brain surgery. I had a slight medical problem. Subdural hematoma, blood clots on the brain caused by a fall i endured about two months ago. Surgery was performed. The prognosis is excellent. And i expect to be back in the studio taping more Jeopardy Program very, very soon. Jillian trebek thanking his fans for support. The shows Production Company sony says there are plenty of finished episodes ready to air. We certainly wish him well. Ainsley wow. Steve is he a legend. Brian straight ahead, President Trump took a huge step ahead on promise of energy dominance. The former president and ceo of gulf oil explains and go over some of the blow back to declaration. Ainsley the cdc wants to make sure you are prepared for nuclear war. Brian yes, we are. Knowing mile love may soon be gone we can work it out we can work it out repeat daily.

This executive order starts the process of opening offshore areas to job creating energy exploration. Steve that was in april of last year President Trump signed an executive order encouraging more drilling rights in federal waters to help the u. S. Achieve energy dominance. Well, now you the administration is announcing its five year Drilling Plan that will allow oil and gas drilling in nearly all u. S. Coastal waters. So what will that mean for our economy and what about the environment . Joining me now is former president and ceo of gulf oil joe pre he joins us from naples. Good morning. Steve you have been waiting for a president to say this. Havent you . Absolutely. You have to look at the history of the importance of energy not only to our economic well being but to our National Security. Most great law wars have been started over the fight of energy whether it was japan bombing us shortly after we embargoed oil in 1941 or the germans moving into the polish or Uranium Energy fields in world war ii. The fact of the matter is its great for our National Security and great for our economy. Steve so its good, joe, for our National Security. Its good for our economy. What about our environment . Because there are a number of even republicans, for instance, rick scott from the state youre sitting in right now down in florida, he poses the plan. He said this, i have already asked to immediately speak to secretary sinky, interior secretary to discuss the plans i have toll remove florida from consideration. My top priority is to ensure that floridas Natural Resources are protected. He doesnt want an oil spill. Everybody thinks about the deep water horizon bank in the 1970s with the spill out in california. They dont want that to happen in their state. Oh, listen, i fully agree with that as a resident of naples, florida. But, a current resident of naples, florida. The fact of the matter is i will point out two things. Most oil spills occur transporting the oil not drilling for it. I mean, obviously deep water horizon was a terrific and tragic exception to that but the fact of the matter is, were going to have drilling in offshore places, i know both china and saudi arabia have approached the u. S. About drilling in our waters. And i would much rather have a u. S. Company. Steve sure. Drill. Because they are subject to u. S. Tort and as long as we have tort lawyers in this country, i think thats better than any regulation. And the fact that bp cost almost 100 billion both in market value, penalties. Steve great point everybody would be very safe if they didnt wind up with one of the leases. Joe, you you would know, you used to run a big oil company. We thank you for joining us from down in naples where its 42 degrees right now. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Steve all right v a good day and good weekend. Think every vote doesnt count . Think again. This bowl was just used to pick virginias newest state representative. Who won in the democrat or the republican . Stay tuned. I have type 2 diabetes. Im trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. Can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk . I asked my doctor. She told me about noninsulin victoza®. Victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. While not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. announcer victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not take victoza® if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. Stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. Serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. So stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. Tell your doctor your medical history. Gallbladder problems have happened in some people. Tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. Taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. Side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. Change the course of your treatment. Ask your doctor about victoza®. Ainsley we have some quick headlines, republicans still control the Virginia State house thanks to the luck of the draw literally much the names of the two candidates who landed in a tie dumped into a ceramic bowl, swirled around and then the name was drawn. Republican david yanceys name was pulled out, meaning he gets to keep the state. Virginia state law calls for tied elections to be decided by a drawing. It hasnt been used since 1971. The democratic candidate shellie simons hasnt conceded. This politician winning in a stroke of luck. Tom sworn in after the mayor elect didnt she up to the ceremony. Dave wagner won novembers election against nelson but never quit his other job to take the office. The cit city council then forced to appoint nelson. Brian . Brian the Missouri Legislature kicked off the 2018 session. During the pledge of a auto allegiance bruce jr. Chose to raise his nois an act of protest. He claims to pledge allegiance to the people and dont acts of defiance like this hurt and divide the community some would say or do they bring it together . Is that why he was elected. Here to weigh in is kevin jackson. Kevin, he says he was making a statement because there is a lot of things that happen to his people that he wanted to speak out about. Yeah. A lot of things happening to his people, brian, are things that he is allowing to happen. I was looking at the statistics and if you were to look at st. Louis in comparison to chicago in terms of size and population. St. Louis would have had about 1700 murders this year had it been chicago. They topped over 200 murders in that city. Its been a city thats been economically depressed for decades now. They have gone from 25 fortune 500 companies in the state of missouri down to 12. And the city is in try age its gone from a population of over 800,000 in the mid 1950s to 318,000 today. And this guy wants to raise his fist in solidarity of, what . In solidarity of democrat rule over a city that has absolutely crated problems beyond belief. Brian well, he also has a bit of a past. It shouldnt be a surprise. We know he was we know he was protesting on black friday. He also is a rapper. Talked about shooting snitches and dismembering murder victims. So this is all you have to do is google him. Yeah, his rap name is oops. And i think that they could say that thats the proper name for him in terms of how he got elected. Look, these guys that are living on this circa 2016 muscle memory of Barack Obamas presidency and thinking that this kaepernick type of thing of holding up the fist is going to mean something, they need to look forward and look at the policies that are going to move black folks forward in all of these cities and they can start by stop focusing on these racial things that are dividing the country and start looking at the policies, quite frankly of what donald trump is doing. St. Louis is poised to do some very, very good things if they get rid of these clowns like this guy that seems to want to continue this, you know, pretend that the economic problems that are plaguing black folks have to do with solidarity. Brian i would have to say im disappointed after year one the president has not put anything forward publicly urban. He said you dont have anything to lose. I would like to know what his plan is to help people in all different situations Going Forward what ben carson is doing. What they might be working on the inner city. Im a little surprised we havent heard much from the president on that. Are you . No, im not, brian. Look, we have got jobs that are finally becoming available in the inner cities because of the low level the unemployment level. Weve got, you know, and i dont like focusing on the stock market but look at what is going on with the economic boon thats occurring under President Trump the fact that all these different corporations are coming back. Barack obama said manufacturing wouldnt come back to america. He lost 17,000 manufacturing jobs in the last year of his presidency and President Trump has gained 171,000. So, of the jobs are coming back. Youve got. Brian black unemployment is going down. Im saying the president could be more forward on that and he could maybe push ben carson to do something. I think he will. Brian more publicly. Yeah. I think he will eventually. He will get there. Brian thanks kevin jackson. Thanks so much. All right, brian. Brian more trouble for Hillary Clinton a brand new fbi investigation coming her direction. Congressman ron desantis knows the details. He will unveil it next. How far does this happen .

My life was saved by a two week old targeted therapy drug. Thats what really drives me to to save lives. Lets give them something to talk about something to talk about lets give them something to talk about something to talk about. Ainsley that is a great song for our next guest especially. Lets bring in the republican congressman ron desantis from the great state of florida. Is he a member of the House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight and governor reform committee. Good morning to you, congressman. Good morning. Ainsley you want to give the folks down in florida something to talk about. Tell us your big announcement. Well, you remember a few weeks ago the president tweeted support for me as a candidate for governor of florida. So today we are going to be filing the paperwork to begin that effort and as somebody who is a military officer, iraq veteran, a proven conservative and then with the support of the president , im in a position to exercise the leadership that can build on the great work that governor rick scott has done to advance economic opportunity, reform education and drain the swamp in tallahassee which needs to be drained just Like Washington and people can go to my website at ron desantis. Com if they want to take a look. Steve i did read down in the florida press, mr. Desantis, that apparently you have got your own leadership team, some prominent americans who have signed up to help you. They include a couple of billionaires, sheldon avildsen is on your team. Rebecca mercer is on your team. Foss err freeze is on your team. Why are they on your team . I think a lot of it is because i have been somebody who has a proven track record of leading in the congress. You mentioned some of the investigations into the foundation, into uranium one. What we are doing to hold people like peter strzok and the fbi accountable. And then some of the legislative initiatives from helping with the tax bill to doing things to hold iran accountable. I think if you work hard and you do good things, i think people tend to notice that. Brian right. And you are willing to take action and go front and center and talk about it meanwhile, the fbi has done something you have been calling for for a while. They are finally looking into the Clinton Foundation. They are doing an investigation to find out if essentially that nonprofit, that Charitable Organization was actually a pay for play a wink and a nod for the clintons to get the president possibly huge speaking fees for influence for the secretary of state and the supposed heir apparent for the president of the United States in Hillary Clinton. What do you think they will find. This has been an issue that has really lingered for years, brian. Finally last year i and a couple others in the congress with revelation that there was a confidential informant who was involved in the russian racketeering underlying the uranium one deal that he wanted to come forward. We brought him forward. We started an investigation. But if you look at what happened around that time, the chairman of uranium one gave 2. 3 million to the Clinton Foundation in 2009, 2010 while this deal was pending. And, yet, there are other people on the cfius board clearly if the secretary of state objected to that deal that would probably be fatal. That was never vetted and investigated. The effort we started in the congress and going to continue the fbi had to take a look at it and i think they are talking to the informant and getting to get all the facts along with the congress. Steve good. Also, there is a report out with the daily beast, they are suggesting that the department of justice is looking in to reopening Hillary Clintons email server case as well. And this goes to the larger issue about as you know, it was just a couple of days ago that devon nunes got the information to all of the redacted fbi interviews and stuff like that. So they can finally figure out whether or not theres a political bias at the fbi. Because that troubles all americans. Well, think about it. You have a former sailor in federal prison because he took a picture of a submarine inside. You are not supposed to do that i mean, its wrong. But hillary had the server set up where there was all kinds of classified information transferring on that all the time. Huma had access. Anthony weiner ended up with this stuff on his computer. Yet, nobody was held accountable. Now we know with the peter strzok Text Messages this is a guy who hated donald trump. He wanted hillary to be president. Is he responsible for changing gross negligence in comeys statement which is criminal to extreme care alsoness. He was also involved in downgrading the fbis assessment that her server was very likely hacked by foreign agents. Brian james comey said. Exactly. So everything that was done that was questionable dove tailed with them trying basically to bend over backwards not to make the case against her. Its a big contrast to how they are doing the Mueller Investigation where they are trying to scorch the earth and do whatever they can find to stick. And i think americans look at that and say should we have equal application of the law or should some people get the easy way and others really get the screws to them . Steve before you go, i have one question for you, ron, regarding a segment we did two segments ago that is how the federal government and the president now opening up lands or rather offshore drilling leases so that people would be able to drill off the east coast, including florida, off california. Rick scott, who is the Current Governor there, doesnt like the idea. What do you think about it . Well i agree with Governor Scott. In florida, our coast line is so important to our economy. Its important to property values. Its important to tourism. And we need to protect our coast line. I am for energy exploration. I was for anwr. And if there is other states that have different calculations and they want to do offshore, thats fine. Im going to be fighting with Governor Scott to protect floridas coast line. You know what . I think this is just a draft proposal. I think that the white house will ultimately be with us. And i think we will be able to work it out so that floridas beaches are protected. We want want to make sure that you are coming down and enjoy your time in florida. Brian he also talks about energy independence. I think we can do that. If you look, look at the permian basins, look at the ball can, look at the anwr and other states that may want to do off shores. They may not be as sensitive as florida is i think we have had a long history of wanting to have protections for our coast line and guys like me are going to fight to continue that. I think we will get that done. Ainsley congressman, thank you first for serving our country and thanks first for serving washington. Could become the next governor of florida. He announced he is going to be running rick scott has served two consecutive terms so he has to step down. We wish you all the best. Thanks, guys. Ainsley jillian has headlines for us this morning.

Until attorney general Jeff Sessions lives up to the commitment that he made to me in my confirmation, in my preconfirmation meeting with him. The conversation we had that was specifically about this issue of states rights in colorado. Ainsley our next guest says it is a fight worth fighting. The former drug czar and executive Vice President of the Hudson Institute john walters joins us now to weigh in on this. Good morning to you, john, thank you for joining us. Good to be with you. Ainsley so he would all wondering, its not like the republicans to allow legalized marijuana. Why did Jeff Sessions, why is he allowing this . Well, what he can is he changed the decision to not enforce federal law which wasnt changed by changing the law. The Obama Administration put red lines in, no spread to youth. No spread outside of the states. No haven for crime. All those red lines have been crossed. The Obama Administration looked the other way. Jeff sessions going back and enforcing the law. I think there are millions of American Families and employers today saying hallelujah, thank you. Brian but here you have about 8 states who say marijuana legal use, first medical marijuana and then Recreational Marijuana like california january 1st okay you can do that the federal government never legalized marijuana. They have just been watching. Jeff sessions now jumped in and Senator Cory Gardner is not propot but he is saying my state voted this in. Even the democratic governor didnt want it now its there. Now you are asking Law Enforcement to do the impossible, arent you . Well, look, nobody is saying that Law Enforcement is going to stop this overnight. What they are now able to do is able to enforce the law in the most egregious cases. Thats what the federal government does in enforcing federal law. Whats happened in his state, if you look at the reports from there is huge problems with young people ned occasion. Huge problems with employment and sober workforce. Huge problems with the cost of this not being as sold to voters. Voters got a raw deal. And in states where you can look at this without the loud shouting of the left. Without the marijuana industry, the dope industrial dope shouting everybody down, where you see the real cost. Look, we are losing tens of thousands of people every year to Overdose Deaths. President trump and Jeff Sessions are keeping the promise of stopping this carnage. You cant stop it if you continue to make people addicted which is whats happening here. Ainsley all right. Jeff sessions he sent out a memo to the u. S. Attorneys he said in deciding when which marijuana activities to prosecute under these laws with the departments finite resources prosecutors should follow the wellestablished principle that governor all federal prosecutions. What are your thoughts. Well, its just use resources for the biggest threats. This is now becoming a bigger threat. Again, we are losing more people to Overdose Deaths in this country than everybody who died in vietnam over 20 years. Brian john, i agree with you. Some very level headed people who also are antilegalization of marijuana who are in an impossible spot now. People in their states voted for it shouldnt have about there been a more organized waytoapproach it . We are going to see an effort to look seriously at whats being sold and what the consequences are even the fda has said claim marijuana is medicine. We have to prove that we have a situation where we just dont have people sell snake oil they have to demonstrate something. Brian i hear you. On the recreational and medical side we are going to use real debate. Real selfgovernment. Not the president , president obama unilaterally writing law. Brian john walters, thanks so much.

Ainsley dozens of u. S. Companies are gifting employees bonus notice wake of the president s tax reform. Joining us now is one of those generous ceos, mr. Bob funk. He is the head of express Employment Professionals and he is giving out 2,000 bonuses to more than 200 workers. That is so nice of you, mr. Funk. Thank you so much for joining us. Happy new year, ainsley. Ainsley happy new year to you, too. Happy new year to the working employees of america. Ainsley its just wonderful. We have been reporting these stories and we all have worked so hard and at that point where Many Americans are where you are living paycheck to paycheck. 2,000ness a bonus check is going to make a lot of your employees very happy. Why did you decide to do that . We decided to do that because i believe that our best assets of the company are our employees. They deserve the support and the help that they need on the continuum basis as wages rise, as their wages rise and of course we give full child care to our employees and 100 of their healthcare. I believe that our employees are our treasures of tomorrow. So the middle class that get the tax increases and trumps tax cut benefit is extremely important to our company. Ainsley thats just great. I know you are making them so happy because these are nonexecutives. They probably dont make a lot of the money. Tell us about your company what do you and how many people you do employ. Well, we have about 800 franchises across north america. Including canada and south africa. And we employ this year about 540,000 temporaries in the staffing industry. We have about 100,000 employees an our payroll. We would love to find a way to give some of this tax cut back tomp rather employees 500,000 out there working every day. Working hard to support not only our economy but their community as well. Ainsley real quickly, whats the reaction to some of these employees as you are passing out the checks . The reaction was unbelievable. They were totally ecstatic. I had about 100 to 125 of them come by my door the next morning and gave me many stories of how it helped their lives and helped their families, of course, pay the bills for christmas and fix some of the issues in their lives that needed fixing just because of the extra funds. Ainsley that is wonderful. Im sure some of them were crying tears of joy. Thank you so much. They were crying. Ainsley thats so nice of you. Thank you. God bless you for helping your employees and contributing to our country. Thank you. Steve President Trump issuing a new nickname to steve bannon that and Sarah Huckabee sanders next hour. Ah.

Cold air is moving in and fast the below freezing temperatures coming just hours after the powerful system unleashed havoc. Finally there is going to be a legal examination to the Clinton Foundation and was there, indeed, a play for pay operation during the years in which she was secretary of state and he was a former president raking in big dollars . Ainsley President Trump was tweeting last night, and he was slamming Michael Wolffs new book and giving steve bannon a new nickname. Steve look at this guys past and watch what happens to him and sloppy steve. Donald trump is very much his own man. He is his own strategist. He is maybe the greatest single salesman in americas history. The dow has another record day on wall street closing above the 25,000 mark for the First Time Ever. I was born free i was born free i was born free steve there have you kid rock it sounded last year for while like he was going to run for senate. He is not. He is still performing. He is performing in his city i read over the holiday weekend. Ainsley thats a great song. If you were born in the United States of america you were born free thanks to the men and women who fight for our great country. Brian by the way, why is he not . I know you know him a little bit. Why is he not running . Steve he has decided he is going to continue to perform right now some day he would like to serve the nation and have a future in politics. Brian go home thursday, he could do concerts friday, saturday and sunday and come back monday. I should have discussed this with him. Steve look at the cam rand tell him. Brian kid rock, i would love to see you do two jobs. Ainsley you are friends with him do you call him kid . Steve i call him bob richy. I have known him from way back. Ainsley is he like move on. Steve what else do you want to know. Ainsley i want to hear how you segue way this speak of born free what . Steve of america and freedom, yesterday we broke through a smile stone like we have never seen before. It only took 23 days for the Dow Jones Industrial average to add 1,000 points. We finished above 25,000 yesterday and just in the last 20 minutes, the president of the United States wanted to remind everybody of that. He tweeted this ainsley dow goes from 18,589 on november 9th, 2016, to 25,075 today for a new alltime record. Jumped 1,000 points in last five weeks. Record fastest 1,000 point move in history. This is all about the make America Great again agenda jobs, jobs, jobs. 6 trillion in value created. Brian remember paul krugman who won a nobel prize for being good in economics said the Trump Presidency was going to be a disaster. A regime ignorant of Economic Policy and hostile to any effort to make it work. That turned out to be wrong, oops. You have this guy mccormick who is a veteran analyst who previously had worked for Goldman Sachs said disruptive changes in trade capital flows will cause this economy to struggle under donald trump. And the fitch team. Responsible for evaluating government markets concluded that the Trump Administration represents a risk to International Economic conditions. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Not only does the stock market go up. But unemployment is going down. More jobs are added. They expect adding 350. Growth three straight quarters revise dollars 3. 3. Steve Mainstream Media predicted if he was elected president doom and gloom and fast forward a year the dow over 25,000. The fbi reportedly is reopening the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the department of justice is targeting, it sounds like, the Clinton Foundation. Brian all because that guy in the backseat is looking over her shoulder. Ainsley because we have a fines exclusive. Letter revealing the dirty dossier was used to justify the Mueller Investigation. Brian what . Griff jenkins is live in the Nations Capital to break it all down. Thats not what we heard. We heard it was all about george paparazzi. Brian, ainsley and steve, good morning. Let me tell you what we know fox news has learned the department of justice has launched a new investigation into Hillary Clinton. That is the headline. It centers around allegations the Clinton Foundation engaged in a paytoplay scheme while she was secretary of state. Investigators also looking at how much classified information may have been sent over that email server of hers. Something the president of Judicial Watch tom fitton says is long overdue. This is why its interesting to see the Justice Department as reported today is actually we looking at this issue, finally. So the pressure is working. This as the department of justice agrees to also finally release all remaining investigative documents pertaining to the house Intelligence Committees probe in a letter exclusively obtained by fox news. Chairman devon nunez expressed concerns to Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein that the trump dossier was used as justification to investigate the president. Nunez writes in the letter the committee is extremely concerned by indications that top u. S. Government officials, who are investigating a president ial campaign relied on unverified information that was funded by the opposing Political Campaign and was based on russian sources. Among witnesses that are agreed to in this letter, fbi agent peter strzok, fbi lawyer lisa page, fbi general counsel james baker and intel chief bill prestab as well as senior doj official bruce ohr. It is friday. Quite a lot of the developments which you will hear more about going into next week, guys. Steve indeed, thank you very much, griff. The question still remains was the dirty dossier used as one of the reasons they were able to effectively spy on the Trump Campaign by the special folks who do the spying. Brian last week while a lot of you were off it turns out the New York Times had a story this whole investigation was spread from George Papadopoulos getting drunk. Steve not the dossier brian brian not the dossier. There is still push back. A lot of people dont believe that story. We will see where the investigation goes. The fusion gps lost a judges decision in order to protect their financial records which would show where they might be going, were they paying the reconciliations as well as chris steele. And now they are going to appeal that. Steve thats right. Meanwhile, steve bannon, as you know, is one of main sources in Michael Waltz new book which is the number one book in the whole wide world right now. We do know parts of it were wrong. A little sloppy. Apparently a number of people who were quoted in it were told it was off the record and then it wasnt. However, it sounds like steve bannon knew full well he was being recorded. So he is on the record about the stuff he said. Ainsley president agrees with you with the word sloppy. He tweeted this he said i authorize zero access to white house, actually turned him down many times, referring to Michael Wolff, for author of the phony book. I never spoke to him for the book. Full of lies, misrepresentations. And sources that dont exist. Look at this guys past and watch what happens to him and sloppy steve. Speaking about steve bannon. Brian just unbelievable and really causing a division among people that brought steve bannon in when at that last minute from Rebecca Mercer who is from the Mercer Family that gave about 5 million to revitalize the Trump Campaign that was not going strong before bannon, bossy and others got kellyanne got in there. They cant figure out why steve bannon would do this. And by the way there is other people reportedly on the record saying negative things about the president from the inside going over to the hey adams and making their and speaking regularly or reportedly to Michael Wolff about it. Roger stone has been there from day one before donald trump officially declared. He is befuddled. Its a stunning act of betrayal and also a complete misunderstanding of donald trump. In Donald Trumps world, in trump world there is no karl rove. There never has been and there never will be. Donald trump is very much his own man. He is his own strategist. He may be the greatest single salesman in american history. And the president s agenda on which he was elected, i should say his platform, was determined long before steve bannon joined the campaign and was determined by one man, donald trump. Is he a phenomena. He is a force of nature. He cannot be handled or managed. He is not a puppet and he never will be. Ainsley Sarah Huckabee sanders said Michael Wolff requested an interview with the president dozens of times. Said more than 24 times. He was denied. She said we saw him for what he was. There was no reason to waste the president s time. She is going to be on with us in about 20 minutes. Steve she will be. One of the things there is her image right there. One of the things the left has been seizing is the fact that they are portraying this book 100 of Donald Trumps advisors think he is a nincompoop. Brian and that he is crazy. Steve think about the people he actually trusts. He trusts john f. Kelly. He trusts steven miller. He trusts ivanka and jared. Do you think those people think is he a nincompoop . That is unrealistic. Brian did some damage. Every other network go with the fact questioning his mental state all day yesterday. Ainsley yeah. Brian even had a democratic lawmaker wants to put together a committee to invoke the goldwater rule to see if the president s 25th amendment to maybe oust the president. Ainsley its a distraction. Many on the left they wake up every single day with an agenda to destroy the president. Ened if you turn on many of the networks, you are going to see that they hate him as much as the people who love him. Steve what are the networks talking about . Theyre talking about the new book that quotes steve bannon, architect of Donald Trumps genius. Not talking about how the fact that we passed 25,000 on the Dow Jones Industrial average yesterday. Ainsley its a distraction. The book was supposed to come out on tuesday. As all books drop on tuesdays except they have made an exception in this case its now going to come out this morning at 9 00. Steve if you want a copy there, it is. Ainsley jillian has headlines for us. Jillian i like the fact we are using the word nincompoop. I havent heard that in 25 years. Thanks, steve. Talk about extreme weather we have been dealing with. East coast bracing for round 2 brutal air as low as 25 degrees below zero leaving major cities paralyzed. The city i storm is blamed for r deaths. People trapped in icy floodwaters. Look at the images. Out when conditions forcing the Worlds Largest passenger jet to land at one of the typiest airports.

Security council calling an emergency meeting today to discuss how to approach antigovernment protests in iran. 21 people are dead and hundreds arrested after a week of violent demonstrations fueled by unhappiness over the countrys economy. U. N. Ambassador nikki haley calling the protests a matter of human rights. This as the u. S. Cuts off more funds to pakistan until it takes, quote dispiive action against the taliban and other terror networks. The state department suspending Security Assistance but not saying how much thats worth. Thats a look at your headlines. I will send it back to you guys. Steve a busy day. Ainsley thanks, jillian. Steve meanwhile two lawmakers, republicans both are call for attorney Jeff Sessions to consider stepping down now. One of those lawmakers representative jim jordan is going to join us live next. Ainsley plus prototypes of that big beautiful wall as the president says are taking shape. The ceo of one of the Companies Competing for the job is going to join us live for an exclusive interview Freedom Freedom rt. Adding bayer aspirin can further reduce the risk of another heart attack. Because my Second Chance matters. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. Replace the full value of your totaled new car. The guy says, you picked the wrong insurance plan. No, i picked the wrong Insurance Company. With new car replacement™, well replace the full value of your car plus depreciation. Liberty mutual insurance. Steve republican congressman mark meadows and jim jordan are calling on attorney general Jeff Sessions to either step down now or do his job. In a new oped the congressman writing attorney general Jeff Sessions has recused himself from the russia investigation but it would appear he has no control at all of the premier Law Enforcement agency in the world. The fbi. Joining us right now is ohio congressman and vice chairman of the House Freedom caucus jim jordan joins us from statuary hall. Jim, good morning to you. Good morning. Steve you have called on him to step down before but this time there is so much leaking going on somewhere in the department of justice or at the fbi it looks like he has lost control. Well, yeah. This whole story last week in the New York Times, four unnamed sources saying that a 28yearold shooting his mouth off in a bar was the catalyst for the russia investigation. This is just too convenient. I think largely to draw attention away from what we believe was the focus of this investigation and what launched it. And that of course, is the dossier. This is as i said to someone before, this is kind of like pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Pay no attention on the dossier we have had for a year now its really something else. I dont buy it the leaks continue. The document requests just this week to say oh we are now going to start giving you the documents. Thats good step but where has that been for the last six months. Of course, we called on the special counsel seven months ago and to date no one it hasnt been named. All these things start to build up. Not to mention the fundamental fact why wont you answer our questions when you come in front of the committee. One the central questions i asked him is did the fbi pay Christopher Steele . Were the taxpayers paying Christopher Steele. Reimbursing Christopher Steele at the same time the democrat and National Committee and Clinton Campaign were paying him for this dossier . Thats a fundamental question and he would not answer that in the Committee Hearing we had a few weeks ago. Steve you know, congressman, it is extraordinary though to think that youve got donald trump as the president of the United States, his own department of justifiable has been stonewalling congressman who simply are trying to get to the bottom of the same thing he wants to get to the bottom of. A great question, steve, this is no different than the treatment we got from holder and lynch when they ran the Justice Department. We tried to get all kinds of information. Fast and furious. All these other issues they wouldnt provide witnesses and give us information. Steve who is running the show over there . Thats the scary part. That is the scary part. Particularly when you think we called for a special counsel six months ago. July we called for it think about what we have learned since we first called for it all the people, the growing chorus of people who believe we need a special counsel. We learned the Clinton Campaign paid for the dossier. We learned that lisa page and peter strzok had all these Text Messages. We have learned that peter strzok was the agent who changed the exsoninlawner ration letter from gross intelligence criminal standard to extreme carelessness. We learned he was the guy who ran the russian investigation. These Text Messages talk about insurance policy and cant take the risk might make donald trump president. Still no movement on the Second Special counsel. This is something we think is obvious and the attorney general should do. Steve your message if he was watching right now, what would you say to him . I like Jeff Sessions. I just want you to do your job. We expected different we expected a different process and treatment and a different Justice Department when you took over. But, unfortunately we are getting the same kind of slow walking on witness access. Slow walking on document production. So, thats what we want to see happen. Steve you know, people say deep state permanent government. Is that whats at play here . Well, certainly it seems that the folks from the seventh floor, remember the vast vast vast majority of the fbi are hard working people every day. Some of the top people in the Justice Department. Bruce ohr, peter strzok, lisa page. Think about all the questions we have to get answered. Why did jim baker get reassigned two weeks ago. All kinds of unbelievable questions we need eabsz to. Thats what we are calling on Jeff Sessions to provide. Steve lets see what happens today. Congressman, thank you very much. Thank you. Steve straight ahead on this friday. Fox friends exclusive.

Governor he joined us just this last hour to make the big announcement. Im in a position to exercise the leadership that can build on the great work that governor rick scott has done to advance economic opportunity, reform education and drain the swamp. Steve the swamp in florida which he says there is a big one. President trump recently endorsed desantis which is filing his state election paperwork later on today down in tallahassee. And that man lost an election but became mayor anyway. Tom nelson, the guy right there, sworn in as the mayor of laurel, montana after the mayor elect didnt show up to the ceremony. Dave wagner won novembers election against nelson but never quit his other job to take office. The city council then forced to appoint mr. Nelson. All right. Ainsley, an exclusive. Ainsley thats right. An exclusive interview. You will be interested so keep your tvs on. The border wall remains the top priority for administration. Four companies in the running to build the wall. One of them is called fisher sand and gravel. Tommy fisher is the president and ceo out of arizona. And he joins us now. Flew in to new york with this exclusive interview. Tommy, thank you so much for joining us. What was your reaction when you got a call saying youre one of the top four companies, you could be chosen to build this wall . All the employees at Fisher Industries were very, very excited. And this goes way back almost a year and a half ago when i was first inspired by President Trump. When he made a bold statement that were looking to protect the entire Border Security from one end to the other. And i have always been a person that thought outside the box along with our team and because we are so vertically integrated i wanted to really do something that was unique and so we started working on it almost two years ago when he first in some of his campaign pledges. I believe we have enacted one of the best techniques to build this border wall quickly. Ainsley talk about what you are doing. Show the video of the 8 prototypes down there on the border and i want you to tell us which one your wall and yours is the one on the right, right . Thats correct. We are the only one solid cast and plate concrete built on side with patented form system. Ainsley when we roll the video you can see more than four walls. Why is that . Why are there 8 walls. There was actually Six Companies that were chosen, two types of wall. We felt concrete was the only constituent that would last the test of time when you are out in the environments. So we chose concrete. Were a big steel manufacturers as well but the steel we use for the forms. Four concrete and four alternative walls. We are the only solid concrete. The other concrete walls are precast where they cast offsite and have to hal haul in and set up. We cast in place where our form system. Ainsley thats your wall right there. No. Thats basic alternative wall. Ainsley is yours big and beautiful. It s when we build our wall and as you can see on up there with the excavators and stuff, we basically have 32foot high by 34foot forms. Three of them set together and we do 100foot pours. Our wall is actually 32 feet high. 2 and a half feet thick solid concrete. Ainsley one on the right that you see there if you are watching at home. Tell us about your company. Your dad started this . Yeah. Dad started of shoveling sand by hand almost 70 years ago. I was fortunate that he turned the reigns t over to me in Family Business 23 years ago and i have been running the company 23 years. My sons are groomed to come into the company as well. Really big achievement when our company was picked. With our system we were able to secure bonding support to give unsolicited bid to land security thats on their desk right now where we guarantee we can build 700 miles of wall continuous with no exceptions through the mountains for a complete Border Protection system to start. For roughly about 10. 77 billion. All backed by a bond guaranteed to finish in six years. And also backed by two year warranty. And we believe so much in our construction technique is in this Border Protection system, not only are we building a wall, we are building two high speed access roads for the Border Agents. What happens is we are Building Infrastructure along with the wall. Because there is a builtin base right now with all these Border Agents that i met when we built the prototype that need that access. Sometimes they dont have access to and from. So, again, with President Trumps bold thinking, thats what we want to do is to sell everybody in congress the president , anybody out there, the people that are for it or against, it is Border Patrol needs the ability, the agents, need the ability to do their job, you know, effectively and fixturely. What happens is when those roads are there, these agents now will be able to drive five times as fast to respond to any potential maybe wrong doers or crossers or someone who might get left. There is going to be complete security from one end to the other if were picked and our walls will work. Our sand wall will work the whole length. So our proposal specifically to california, arizona, and new mexico and thats where i live in arizona. We have done tons of project on the border and we know what we are going to encounter there. We got approval for the 60 miles as well in the Rio Grande Valley of texas. Ainsley what do you say to the critics . There are a lot of people who say that building this wall it gives off the impression that our country is racist. Well, i extremely disagree with that. Only because i have met every type of border agent out there from hispanic to africanamerican, feel male, female, caucasian. You name it they all looked and the people i met and they basically said if you can build a wall and when i told them that not only with the wall comes our high speed roads for infrastructure in it they are like you dont understand how much more efficient we can do our job we hear a lot that maybe they want to hire more agents and stuff. The main thing is if you can cover five times the amount of ground with the agents we have look how much better we can be protected. And i believe we asp very diverse company. We build great projects. You know, sort of tough to get caught in a political thing, but were here and we are ready to go. Ainsley all right. No matter who wins, which company the president chooses the you still want the wall. We still do. We really feel comfort than once they do all the testing they will see that our wall has the longest life span and has the most versatile uses because one of the things really proud about is our final design in texas. And when we get to the Rio Grande Valley, we actually believe now that we have a design and a cop concrete wall that will function for three uses, Border Protection, levee protection and floods, same concrete could have protected boston. And elevate roads on top of ours, because our roads are Strong Enough to be backfilled where none of the other ones are. Ainsley have you done at love projects which largest. I580 in nevada. At love pundits thought we couldnt build we did it on time and under budget. Ainsley we did reach out to all the other companies. We didnt hear back from them. Thank you for accepting our invitation. It is the book that everyone is talking about this morning. It is called fire and fury and people say its sad and pathetic because its all about the first family. At least the president has been saying that and thats what Sarah Huckabee sanders is calling it as well. She is going to join us live from the white house next. I have type 2 diabetes. Im trying to manage my a1c, and then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. Can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk . I asked my doctor. He told me about noninsulin victoza®. Victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. And while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. announcer victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not take victoza® if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. Stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. Serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. So stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. Tell your doctor your medical history. Gallbladder problems have happened in some people. Tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. Taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. Side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. Change the course of your treatment. Ask your doctor about victoza®. Then i saw her face now im a believer not a trace. Brian 25 minutes before the top of the hour. That is the white house its dark and looks cold much like most of america which that house represents. Steve just outside the front door and to the left Sarah Huckabee sanders is going to be she is getting miked up right now. We are going to be talking to her about all sorts of things, including this new book by Michael Wolff which is the number one book in the world right now where they, quote, extensively steve bannon and everybody thought he was so loyal to the president and yet he had some very unkind things to stay about the president s family. Ainsley its called fire and fury. And Mainstream Media is loving this because of all the negative press that surrounds the president so they were supposed to release the book on tuesday ever next week now they are moving it forward or moving it up. Brian mike wolf just spoke on another show. You will hear some of that at which time he said whether the president knows it or not we spoke. Steve after he was elected president. Brian after he was elected they spoke a few times. Did i read they spoke five to seven minutes. The president said he was never given access to Michael Wolff who did say a lot of his interviews were because he was set up in a hotel nearby. Steve okay. Lets go over to the big wall. This is what donald trump tweeted yesterday. I authorized zero access to white house. Actually turned him, Michael Wolff down many times for author of phony book. I never spoke to him for the book. Thats what the president said in the tweet and continued full of lie, misrepresentations and sources that dont exist. Look at this guys past and watch what happens to him and sloppy steve and with that tweet, he dubbed steve bannon sloppy steve. Ainsley lets bring in Sarah Huckabee sanders. She is now miked and ready to go. She is there at the lawn at the white house. Steve she is freezing. Ainsley good morning, sarah at the press conference you said you denied Michael Wolff more than 24 requests to get an interview with the president. He is on another network this morning saying did he talk to the president. Whether the president knew it was an interview. It was not off the record. Whats your response . Look, we said they spoke once by the phone for a few minutes but it wasnt about the book. They had a very short conversation. But he never interviewed the president about the book. He repeatedly begged to speak with the president. And was denied access. And he makes it sound like he was sitting outside the oval office every single day which is just not the case. This is a guy who made up a lot of stories to try to sell books and i think more and more people are starting to see that his facts just simply dont add up. Brian word is that mike Michael Wolff was seen often in Steve Bannons office. Would you say thats true . No. I know there were a number of times that he met with steve and i think they have both said in repeated that that happened. We looked at the logs. We know that they met on multiple occasions. He was frequently seen meeting with him. So i think thats a pretty indisputable fact on that front. Steve yesterday, during your press briefing, i heard you describe in some detail about how some parts of the book are just flat out wrong. You detailed john boehner thing and stuff like that. Additionally, we are learning, sarah, that apparently a number of people who were quoted in the book have revealed that they spoke to him. But it was off the record. But he still put it i in book. Any idea to what their reaction is to thinking okay its off the record now its in the book. What am i supposed to do. Not only that not only did they say it was off the record. A number of them have said that the things that are attributed to them they simply just didnt say. I think that this individual, Michael Wolff, has a long history of not being very credible when it comes to sourcing, when it comes to putting books together. In fact, reporters that are routinely incredibly critical of this president have said that the journalistic practice of Michael Wolff, i think gives everybody in journalism a bad name. And i think every day we are seeing more and more examples of why thats the case. Brian one theme we keep hearing about how the president flies off the handle. Doesnt like to read. Is mentally unfitted to be president. And that when you have people on the inside say this where the whether they are quoted accurately or inaccurately it plays to that theme. We even had a democratic lawmaker yesterday talk about the goldwater rule convene 5 council to evaluate the president s mental makeup. Whats the president s reaction to that . Whats yours . I think its absolutely insane to think all of these individuals, reporters and others now all of the sudden have a medical degree and think that they can diagnose somebody, many times that they have never even had a conversation with. Its absolutely outrage just to make these types of accusations and untrue and sad people are going and making these desperate attempts to attack the president. What i think is really mentally unstable is people that dont see the positive impact that this president is having on the country. The economy is booming. We are crushing isis. Day after day things are Getting Better for americans all over this country. And i think its really sad that these people dont see that. And that they are not celebrating and trying to join in the president s efforts to turn our country around. Ainsley sarah, he didnt have political experience. And i guess he is learning lessons, too, about what he can say and what he cant say. You know, there are people that have left the white house. And this morning we had Rush Limbaugh saying in a sound bite from his radio show yesterday that steve bannon was the leaker in the white house. Is there truth to that . Look, i think we all know that he spent a lot of time with reporters. I have think he spent a lot more time with reporters than he ever did with the president. And i think thats very telling. One of the most important things that you can do when you are working in any capacity but especially in politics is to be loyal. And i think we have seen a side that is frankly very, very disappointing. And something that i hope we dont have to deal with again. Brian by the way, senator bill cassidy for the record is a doctor. Met with the president multiple times and he said there is no doubt about it he is mentally fit to be president of the United States. I will go with his suggestion because he has had the face to face and he went to school for that. Absolutely. I agree. Steve all right. Meanwhile, sarah, some other breaking news that we led our program with the department of justice apparently is looking into the Clinton Foundation and this is a fox news alert. They are trying to figure out whether or not did the clintons promise something when she was secretary of state to get money for the Clinton Foundation, something, you know, get something during the barack Obama Administration, also whether or not they broke any tax law us, et cetera. I know youve talked in the past about why isnt anybody looking into this . Well now they are looking into it. Look, i think thats good news. Certainly i think there have been a lot of things that give us cause for concern. I think its a great thing that its being looked at. And well have to wait and see what happens. But there has certainly been a lot of information out there that i think gives all of us cause for concern and i think its important that they are finally taking a look at it and well see what comes from it. Steve yep. Ainsley Jeff Sessions, some people are upset with him about what happened with the legalization of marijuana at the state level. But if you look at what the doj is doing. Doj is launching this investigation into the Clinton Foundation. They are also agreeing to hand over all those documents, i guess, because they have to. They are agreeing to release all those documents that deal with the dirty dossier. Whats the future for Jeff Sessions. We are hearing he could step down. Look, right now he is focused on doing his job. We are focused on doing ours. We dont have any reason to see that there is anything different today than there was yesterday. We feel like we are in a great place and we are moving forward. And the attorney general is going to continue showing up to work this week and next week just like he has every day since we started and keep doing good work and moving the president s agenda forward. Brian Sarah Huckabee sanders freezing for us. We appreciate it. I dont think i can stay much longer. Steve all right. Ainsley we will release you. Thank you so much sarah. Ryan brian very nice to get the latest from the white house. The media mocked the president when he mocked Nuclear Button. Turns out that tough talk might be working. There is evidence of that and that story is next. Steve plus abc News Reporter brian ross who botched that trump russia story is supposed to be back to work following his suspension but he still hasnt shown up why .

North korea has just agreed to talk with south korea. Whats on the agenda . The story is they are talking for the first time in a long time. Here to weigh in is the president of Security Studies jim hanson. Jim, is this a good thing . Because you have a liberal leader of south korea who came, in wanted to distance himself from the United States and now he is talking to north korea. Are they trying to get between us or are they giving in. I think you can look at the way this went down. You know, kim jong un makes a threat about Nuclear Weapons and a button on his desk and President Trump did exactly what do you when you are dealing with a bully and a tyrant. He faced him down he said thats a nice hermit kingdom that you have up there. It would be a shame if it turned into Nuclear Radioactive rubble. Look what happened. The North Koreans picked up a hotline that hadnt been used in two years and called south korea a couple hours later. I this that i speaks for itself. Brian we also decided no war games during the olympics, jim mattis made that official yesterday. In terms of war plans between mcmaster, dunford and mattis, my understanding is they are working on scenarios as if it could really happen this year. Do you fear or do you think a confrontation is inevitable . I think it is impossible for diplomacy to work unless there is a credible threat of force involved. Otherwise, you know you have nothing to worry about. The u. S. Always has been planning, it was my area of operations, the korean peninsula. We have had plans to take them down forever. What they are doing is updating those and making sure theyre as optimal as possible. General mcmaster said to me directly, he doesnt like when people think if there was a war between the u. S. And north korea there is any doubt about the outcome and that it would be some horrific tragedy. We can win and beat them if they push us to do that. We dont want to, but they need to believe it can happen. Brian so you believe, jim, that this talk, this relentless pursuit and the squeezing and the sanctions have produced this meeting between north and south . Absolutely. And i think at some point no bully like kim jong un wants to contemplate the idea that his entire regime could disappear. I think now President Trump has convinced him thats the option if he does not take the idea of denuclearization seriously. Thats where you are and you can thank the president s tough talk for that. Brian joe biden is very critical of the president s tough talk. Joe biden. When was the last time he was right on any major Foreign Policy issue in the senate or during his time as obamas failed Foreign Policy team. No thanks. I dont think we need to listen to him. Brian jim hanson president of Security Special forces knows reality of what war brings. Thanks, jim. You brought it, brian. Brian the media questioned the president s mental fitness. You see all. This Geraldo Rivera weighs in. He was with the president a couple months ago. Plus abc News Reporter brian ross who botched a trump russia story is supposed to be back to work following his suspension. He has not shown up. The latest from Carley Shimkus.

Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Steve Investigative Reporter at abc brian ross suspended for from the news operation for a botched report last year. Although his suspension ended this week he is still not reportedly at work. Ainsley here now is Carley Shimkus on 24 7 sirius xm. Carley big news with brian ross his suspension was supposed to end yesterday. Did he not show up to work. Of course he was suspended for four weeks after he botched that big report he said that Michael Flynn was willing to testify that President Trump ordered him to make contact with the russians while he was still a candidate. That turned out not to be true. Steve during the transition. Carley yeah. Big, big difference there. Abc declines to comment on whether ross will ever be coming back. Brian i do know that evidently the president of abc news blistered everyone in the department because he said this is exactly what i told you not to do. Carley big deal. For ross part he did say on twitter its his job to hold people responsible for their actions he is holding himself responsible for his. He did take this whole situation very seriously. Brian he could be gone. We dont know. Carley we dont know. Ainsley Mark Zuckerberg did that casual video he wants to fix facebook so he is being mocked. He makes big new years resolution every single year. This one might be the most challenging one yet. He has vowed to fix facebook. Facebook, of course, has had a lot of issues being accused of spreading fake news that affected the 2016 president ial election many other other things. Here is what he had so say. My personal challenge for 2018 is focused on fixing these important issues. We wont prevent all mistakes or abuse we currently make too many errors in forcing our policies and preventing misuse of our tools. Ainsley, like you said, a lot of people not so sure this is going to ha. Pretty big challenge. Mya says zuckerbergs personal challenge for himself is the work he should be doing as facebook ceo anyway. Actions speak louder than words and my 2018 challenge is to stop using fain. Steve commonwealth of virginia tight race. So close they drew the winner out of a bowl and who won . Carley the republican. Cheers, i guess, i dont know. Lets take a look at this.

Overall before we dive into it to the president that infuriates me. No doubt that the president emotionally and intellectually went from his days at celebrity apprentice. And spent an hour with them as i recall. It is a slander and it is absolutely false this man is as lucid and ends intelligent as in charge of he has ever been. I dont sit in the lending library. He is extremely aware of everything thats going on. I think has problem is he is aware of too many things. He has 70 things on his plate. The challenge of the job is more than he ever expected it to be. If you look at the learning curve in the first year of his office and look now how his business acumen and his ability to chart to cheerlead and to be the charismatic central focus has taken the American Economy from a kind of lackluster mediocre wishywashy they did a fine job helping recover from the catastrophic but he has jumpstarted the economy in a way that is so impressive that everyone is cheering and theres not a person watching right now who owns a single share of stock who is not better off today than they were before that. Than they were before that. He is a billionaire. You become president of the United States when he hes clearly doing something right. He might talk to a reporter here and there. The past president s had been in politics for a long time. Why would he do this. Backed up on first bannon than bannon. I think his inexperience is why one of the reasons he allowed steve bannon to become so connected to him ideologically and that golden theory where bannon, navy veteran has an interestinger to him, a simplistic view of the world where hes very good on messaging. Why did the president so embrace him in such an intimate way only to reject him bannon wasnt there . So i think that was perhaps an error in judgment to make bannon such an intimate because bannon then is the one who opens up the bannon book. Bannon is the one who slouch on the couch. Lets him become the fly on the wall. Brian he told people to cooperate with michael wolf. That i think is unfortunate because bannon had a deal that it was going to be a bannon book. Not a trump book right from the getgo. Steve we had Sarah Huckabee sanders on with us about 40 minutes ago and heres what she had to say about bannon and reporters. He spent a lot of time with reporters. I think he spent more time with reporters than he ever did with the president , and i think thats very telling. One of the most important things you can do when working in any capacity, but especially in politics is to be loyal. And i think weve seen a side that is frankly very, very disappointing. And something that i hope we dont have to deal with again. Steve you know, one of the things about this particular book that we came out. This loyalty that we showed was so many said, well, you know, Donald Trumps brain was steve bannon. Youve if known donald trump decades before steve bannon came along. He was never his brain. Donald trumps brain is Donald Trumps brain. Its not george h. W. Bush at all. But i want to Say Something very specifically about steve bannon. Steve bannon suggests that the meeting that don jr. And the others had with the russians in trump tower summer of 2016 was a treasonist act. I submit that what bannon did in saying that don jr. Took those commies upstairs to meet his father, you can take that to the bank and bet on, what bannon did was suggest did meet with the russians indeed very active treason. Bannon stabbed trump in the back by making that suggestion. Theres no Investigative Reporter from the New York Times, you name the trumphating news organization, no one has in any way suggested that President Trump had anything to do with the russians that don jr. In his inexperience can be in a meeting in trump tower. Brian ill add a couple of things to that. He was not in the building, number one. And he was not hired at the time. It was all conjecture on his part, something you would suggest from david corn, somebody on the left who has a presumption about the president that is predominantly negative. But whats the motivation . Is it pure ego . Hes not a wall street guy. Multimillionaire, ivy league grad, hes not dumb. What is he up to . Ive seen it in show business where the agents are helping shepherd the career of a central person in the movies and now youre here. And the agent seems to take on the personality of the principal. The agent feels himself or herself the center of the universe. I truly believe that steve bannon saw himself as the character. He was the puppet master. He was going to really be the Trump Presidency. One was going to be about donald trump, the self made billionaire, one was going to be about steve bannon, the scrappy outsider, the guy who took over breitbart website and going to be a brave new world. I dont think bannon is getting a piece of michael wolfs book or anything like that. I think this was purely ego driven and just a barroom bragger. Once you go down that room, you have to top that brag. You like that one . How about this one . And i think this was much more than bannons ego than anyone else. Attempting to criticize and attack this book, the president has helped propel it. Steve something to get you going this morning. Is the president is meeting with lawmakers on capitol hill tossing out how do we get a new budget deal for maybe two years but at the same time democrats are saying if youre going to get your money, im going to get daca and the president is saying im going to get a wall. The thing about daca, daca has to stand on its own. Daca is the right thing to do in Geraldo Herrera opinion. Steve you sound like a republican because theres no urgency right now. Will soon be liable or vulnerable to deportation. I think that the dreamer situation if i were the president and i urge him as his friend. This is an act of compassion. Do this as a standalone. In other words, dont link it to the wall. Dont link it to the immigration leverage. But something, steve. If you had a little baby in stress, would you say im not going to help the baby in distress because i want you to tear down that i this some things are not negotiable in my view. He talks about his new york values. He grew up here. He knows these kids as well as anybody else. Let him give the daca kids slack and then attack chain migration. You can easily end chain migration. Brian not with one party you cant. Sometimes with leverage when you wield leverage, you look like the jerk. When you wield leverage. Brian no, but its a deal. But when its about humanity. I understand that. These are totally vetted, many of them are in military, in college. Brian lindsey graham, what many of them said is very telling. He has a different view. Watch. Obama couldnt do it. Bush couldnt do it. I think you can do it. Theres deals that he had if you want it bad enough, youll get it. You have to give a little bit. Brian this is the time to give. You want this, that you get. Lindsey graham, hard. He didnt even vote for President Trump said you can do it. Bush and clinton and obama couldnt. I will reserve comment on senate to graham. Think about the book even. The people that hate trump are still going to hate trump. The people that love trump are still going to love trump. This is a sliver of a chance right here with the dreamers where the president can show he can strip away a talking point for all of those fiery antitrumpian commentators on the other cable news networks. He can just take away the talking points. And then you deal with the you want to negotiate, ill negotiate. Lets end chain migration. Heres how you end it. You define the personal family, the core family as grandparents, parents, and children. I will negotiate that. You want to build the wall, take the wall and replace it with the 700 miles youve already built that has fallen down. Steve see, you want something the president ran on the wall, hes going to use this as leverage. Lets fastforward. Ainsley because he would give that gift to the democrats. The democrats arent going to give anything back. Hes not going to get the wall without the leverage he wont get the wall, geraldo. I think that sometimes you take a chance when the worst thing you can do is something compassionate or nice. Brian ill talk more. Lets talk more on the radio. Ill change your opinion. Okay. So why dont we make money . Lets talk about making money. Brian Stuart Varney is going to do that if geraldo doesnt interrupt me again. [laughter] somehow we always leave packing to the last minute.

Because the time to think about tomorrow is today. Ainsley another record for the markets as the dow closes above 25,000 for the First Time Ever. President trump weighed in this morning tweeting this steve dow goes from 18,000 something on november 9th to 25,000 today for an alltime record. Jumped 1,000 points in the last five weeks. Record fastest 1,00 1,000point move in history. This is all about the make America Great again agenda. Jobs, jobs, jobs. 6trillion in value created. Brian Stuart Varney didnt even know this. Whats your reaction to hear this news for the first time . Stuart very funny. Brian youre Varney Company all news. Whats your reaction on this . Stuart the president tweeted 6 trillion. It is almost 7 trillion. By the end of the day, it will be 7 trillion runup the value of all stocks since the election. Let me just Say Something. One thing that drives me nuts about this. Everybody assumes or the left assumes that this runup in the stock market just benefits the rich. Thats what its all about. The rich get richer, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Nonsense. In this country, 43 million americans have an ira. 54million have a 401 k . He have single one of those people have seen a huge runup in their pension fund because of the trump rally. Steve stuart, let me ask you this. How much of the credit should donald trump get . Stuart a lot of it. Steve why . Stuart well, a, he came in with a growth agenda. He was elected on a growth agenda. Steve cut regulations. Stuart cut regulations. That sent a message to capitalists all over the world, especially in america. The reigns are off. Get out there and exercise your animal spirits. Expand, employ, and grow, and they did it. Now we have a tax cut which is very, very good for business and going into this year, we will have a expansion of the economy, an expansion of profits, and the static has started the year with a very nice rally. Ainsley those who like the president , they dont want to hear this message. Stuart oh, let me just show you this one. This is preciselyless. This is the New York Times which has consistently failed to report on the trump rally but now as we hit 25,000, the headline in the times reads after dow 25,000, the party has to end. Oh, yes. Theres a correction coming. Talking about insinuating the negative. That i think is absolutely pathetic. Brian ill give you the other side. The Washington Post theory is the worry is theyre going to go in after the terrorists and the trade deals. Stuart thats in the Washington Post . Brian Washington Post. Stuart theyre just eager to see it come down. Brian would it worry you to see nafta . Stuart would it worry me . I would like to know whats in it. I would like to know the details, please. Thats all i would like to know. And then ill make a judgment whether its good for the economy or not. Ainsley all right. Steve well, right now the stock market is or your. Stuart, thank you very much. Ainsley and its friday. And you have the weekend today. Stuart constituents going up again. Steve in the meantime more trouble for Hillary Clinton, a brandnew fbi investigation apparently. Sarah palin joins us on this latest bombshell. Up next. Brian and what does he think of steve bannon . One of the persons who brought steve bannon into the president. How does he feel . You know whats awesome . Gigspeed internet. You know whats not awesome . When only certain people can get it. Lets fix that. Lets give this guy gig really . And these kids, and these guys, him, ah. Oh hello. That lady, these houses yes, yes and yes. And dont forget about them. Uh huh, sure. Still yes xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. Now you can get it, too. Welcome to the party. Good friday morning were back with some headlines. China now tightening restrictions on north korea after intensified un sanctions. This includes a cap on oil supplies to the north. It comes as the north and south korea prepare to sit down for former talks on tuesday for the first time in more than two years. The rivals will talk about the winter clippers and how to improve their relationship. Well, deported fivetime illegal immigrant convicted. Jose could get up to three years for possession of a firearm. His acquittal on charges caused outrage after he admitted to accidentally firing the gun that killed kate steinle in 2015. Thats a look at your headlines. Ill send it back downstairs to you, brian. Brian thanks, jillian. A new year into the foundation but this one might stick. Ainsley Hillary Clinton is in the hot seat again as the fbi is taking a closer look at pay to play allegations within her foundation while she was serving a secretary of state. Steve Fox News Contributor sarah educator has been following this extensively. She joins us from dc. Good morning to you, sarah. Good morning. Steve okay. Were talking about this is perhaps a new investigation. But the original investigation never really shut down, did it . No. It never shut down, and it wasnt just open in one field office. Apparently there were five field offices across the United States. Actually looking into the Clinton Foundation. Now i think whats significant here is that theyre no longer insulated. This was the thing. Under the Obama Administration, many fbi agents, the bureau itself was insulated to an extent. Now what were seeing is the Little Rock Office reopening that, and i know and this has been absolutely verified had interviewed a very significant witness, and they provided very significant information to the Little Rock Office. Steve interesting. Brian is that that secret informant . We cant talk about that right now, but i can tell you that it has been verified. Brian can you blank twice if im right . Youre making me blink, brian. Ainsley sarah, this is basically to find out if foreign governments or individuals an individual can get to a campaign, only give xamount of dollars. Small amount. But if they were giving big amounts of money to foundation and then using that money to pay them off promises, and you give my foundation a lot of money, we dont pay taxes on it. Ill send my husband over to russia to give a speech or well do something for your company or your country. Is that what theyre looking at . I think thats exactly what theyre looking at, and theyre looking at tax status as well, ainsley, so you brought up a really good point. So you remember at that point in time obama wanted to reset with russia. So its not like the clintons and i think this is coming from a number of sources. Were saying, look, were going to make this happen if you give us money. I think they already knew it was going to happen. And according to the sources i spoke with took advantage of that situation. So thats something theyre going to be looking at as well. Steve the meters running, isnt it . Because doesnt the statute of limitations on most federal felonies end after five years, and she and i was just looking it up. I could be incorrect, but i think she left federal office february 1st, 2015. So of this year, five years is up, isnt it . Well, five years is up but that doesnt mean they wont find something elsewhere they can extend that statute of limitations. So i dont want to jump the gun here by saying something, but i do believe it can be extended. Not on what were thinking but maybe on something quite different. Ainsley that means you know something. Brian lets talk about Hillary Clintons emails. Theyre up again evaluating what devon nunez and company in the house how they handled that investigation also thanks to the fisa act and Judicial Watch, we now know what all of those thousands of emails on aberdeens laptop were in which we knew were classified. Where are they going with Hillary Clintons email investigation . Well, theyre certainly reevaluating it. I wouldnt say at this point its being reopened. I would say theyre reevaluating it to see what they need to do. And aberdeen is in hot water here. She knew she was transmitting those, she was printing them out. And another issue here is that the fbi and people within the bureau believe that foreign agents had infiltrated not only Hillary Clintons server but possibly aberdeens yahoo account as well. And thats the reason for the gross negligence statute; right . Its not so much the intent. Its if you take these emails, these classified documents, anything, outside of the perve of government, anybody can access them, and that gross negligence puts the National Security of the United States at risk. And this is what theyre looking at. Steve a lot to talk about. Sarah, thank you very much for joining us on this friday. Have a good weekend. Ainsley thanks, sarah. Thank you. Ainsley it is a fox news alert. Will the economic boom continue . We are waiting on brandnew jobs numbers. We will have them for you live next. Steve plus, President Trump on twitter new nickname for steve bannon. Does he look like a sloppy steve to you . Thats what the president described him as. David bossie with the reaction. Hes bossy. Hes next what is this . When we love someone, we want to do right by them. But some things we cant control like snoring. snoring introducing theravent antisnore strips. Clinically shown to reduce snoring. Theravent. The answer is right under your nose. Clinically shown to reduce snoring. Patients they ask me all of the time. I tell them the thickness of your enamel determines essentially how white your teeth are going to be. The strength of your teeth needs to be there in order for that whiteness to last. I would definitely recommend pronamel strong and bright to my patients to keep their enamel strong, help to keep stains away, and polish their enamel. Theyre going to get whiter, brighter teeth. This is a really great product for my patients. Brian i know what city that is. Its on the tip of my tongue. Steve yeah, youre. New york city. Brian david bossie the former Trump Campaign manager, Fox News Contributor, author of let trump be trump. And one of the people responsible for the revitalization, i believe, of President Trumps campaign from guys came in, Kellyanne Conway and steve bannon and there was an injection of energy and direction that brought you to brought the president to the presidency. How hard has this been for the last 48 hours for you, david bossie, and how unexpected if at all is it that steve bannon would turn in this way on President Trump . Well, first of all, let me just say that President Trump is responsible for his election. Hes did 99. 9 of the work. The hard work that he put into it, the money, the time, and the energy that he put in, hes responsible. The rest of us. Steve bannon, myself, Kellyanne Conway, and the rest of the team accounted for literally. 01 of his win. Hes responsible for his victory. No one else. So im shocked to be honest with you sitting here, and im disappointed that were sitting here talking about this National Enquirer on steroids, you know, salacious book. This person should never have had access to the white house. He should never have had access to any of these people, and im just disappointed that were sitting here talking about being off of the tremendous agenda that this president has set forth for america. Steve well, the book youre talking about is michael wolfs book, and its officially going to be released in lets see. 25 minutes from right now. Well, im going to run right out and get one. Steve i know it. And we all know right now parts of it are wrong and some people who were speaking off the record turns out it was on the record, and they look pretty bad. But what are you going to do . And the other part is his sloppy reporting, and i think thats what the president was keying in on when he gave him a new nickname in this tweet were going to read. Brian yeah, the president said i authorized zero access to white house, actually. Turned him down many times for the author of the phony book. I never spoke to him for the book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that dont exist. Look at this guys past and watch what happens to him and sloppy steve. Now, he was on another network, david, earlier this morning saying that he did talk to the president. The president said everything was on the record. What do you think . You know bannon. You know sloppy steve. You know him well. What really happened . I feel like we dont know the whole story. Why would they do . Why would he speak out and not be loyal to the commanderinchief and to his boss . Well, lets get to the book, and ill get to that. I am looking at just the excerpt. I have not seen the book. No one that i know has. But i could tell you just from the excerpts, i was there during the campaign segment of what hes writing about not of obviously inside the white house. But theres just factual inaccuracies in this book. So im going to go through this book when i get a chance and look at it. Brian ill throw some out at you. Did melania cry because she didnt want to go to the white house . Thats so outrageous. I was standing there with the trump family on Election Night actually the morning after wednesday morning at 2 00 a. M. When Kellyanne Conway got the famous phone call to call the election for then president elect trump. And melania, like the rest of us, was ecstatic that her husband had just been elected the 45th president of the United States. There was no tears. It was its an outrageous that this person would stoop to such a level to write just trash. And thats what i think it is. Brian the president didnt want to win . Nobody worked harder than donald trump. He traveled over 2 million miles, road around in that jet killing himself six events a day all day every day going to rallies, giving speeches, talking to the American People about the make America Great again agenda, and its outrageous that they say he didnt expect to win. He didnt want to win. He worked his fingers to the bone, and he drove the staff to want to work as hard as he did and no one worked harder than him. Steve well, one of the things, and we havent seen the book yet either. There have been some selected excerpts released and one of the other ones was, you know, one of the things about donald trump according to his long time friends is he repeats the same thing every 20 minutes. But since he has become president , he repeats the same thing every ten minutes, so that has, david, driven some of the left to say he is not mentally fit to be president of the United States. Thats something theyre talking about right now on other channels. The Democratic Party, the leadership of the democrats need a Mental Health evaluation themselves. Look at nancy pelosi, chuck schumer. These folks are living in la la land. This president with his agenda has been making America Great again since his first day in Office Almost one year ago. And if you look at the numbers, you look at isis being killed on battlefields across the middle east, if you look at our economy, if you look at what americas done just since his inauguration, it is phenomenal what a little hope, growth, and opportunity will do for the American People. So im just not in the this president talks about anecdotal stories much like Ronald Reagan did, and they are treating these two president s very similarly. They said these things about Ronald Reagan, and they werent true about him. And theyre not true about donald trump. Brian these arent enemies. Katie walsh, this is steve ban open, mike mcmaster, gary cohn saying things forward. But im going to ask this, david. Would you ever work for somebody that you thought wasnt mentally or emotionally up for the job . Absolutely not. This president is unbelievably qualified. He got elected because he is incredibly smart. He is well educated, he is well read. That its the misnomer of the left and the leftist Mainstream Media in this country that he is not. He is an incredible human being, he is a warm, kind human being. Something that look, im not here to sell my book but in our booklet trump be trump, we talked about those sides of President Trump, and i urge people to go out and read, you know, the real firsthand account about him. Ainsley all right. Folks at home can get both books and make their own comparisons; right . Steve fair and balanced, apparently. Brian boss will be bossy. Ainsley thank you, david. Lets hand it over to jillian who has some headlines for us and you can get her book as well. Good morning, guys. Lets start off with these headlines. Thanks to the luck of the draw, the republicans keep control of the Virginia Statehouse and name the two candidates who landed in a tieback in november were dumped into a bowl, rolled around, and drawn at random. Republican nancys name was pulled out, meaning he gets to keep the seat. Virginia state law called for elections to be decided by a drawing, but they hadnt been used since 1971. Democratic candidate Shelly Simmons has not yet conceited. North american rolls, u. S. Officials are now preparing for nuclear war. The Disease Control holding a briefing later this month to make sure americans know what to do if were attacked. That includes sheltering in place for at least 24 hours and paying attention to state and local governments. This week kim jongun warned he had a Nuclear Button on his desk. President trump says his button is bigger. Terrifying moments are caught upside down on a chair lift some 20 feet above the ground. The girl stuck at californias Mammoth Mountain before rescuers were able to catch her. [cheering] the scared mother said the safety bar was down as the family tried to get on the lift. Somehow the teens leg got caught. She was not hurt. Its never too late to get into politics and 92yearold world war ii veteran just swore into office for the First Time Ever. Solemnly swear that i will support the constitution. Sworn in as the mayor after winning the seat in number. The republican war out two pairs of shoes going doortodoor to hand out 7500 campaign fliers. Hes a former Electronics Engineer and a u. S. Navy veteran. Many congrats to. Steve he did it the oldfashioned way. Ainsley 93 . 93. Ainsley congratulations. Brian lets toss out to somebody much younger. Ainsley much younger. Hey, janice. You know, were keeping warm out here. What is the temperature . 9 degrees. With the wind chill, it feels less than that. Were here with folks from australia. Whats your name . Blare. This was a bucket list for you guys . Yes.

And you know what the good news is, guys . Next week, theres a warm up on the way. You want to go meet my friend steve, ainsley, and brian . Yeah. Okay i know the ticket in. Were coming in. Steve thank you very much. Open the door. Ainsley howard dean says all the democrats in his generation just need to get out of the way. But joe biden says huhuh. Not so fast. I can take him physically. Okay . Ainsley so does that mean hes going to make a run in 2020 . Or maybe hes going to fight him . Brian yes, i would like to see that. And you see him all the time on fox but did you know that steve cortez can also cook . The entire cortez family is cooking with friends. Fu dont ask me how i know kind of looks like a monster coming to eat ya. Holy smokes. That is awesome. Strong. You got the basic, and you got the beefy. I just think it looks mean. Incredible.

Im trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. Can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk . I asked my doctor.

While not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. announcer victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not take victoza® if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. Stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. Serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. So stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. Tell your doctor your medical history. Gallbladder problems have happened in some people. Tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. Taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. Side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. Change the course of your treatment. Ask your doctor about victoza®. Brian were back with a fox news alert. Dont ask me how i know because i know. The job numbers are now in. Steve thats right and according to the bureau of u. S. , the economy added 184,000 jobs in december. Thats down from 220,000 in november. Thats less than expected. Ainsley and the Unemployment Rate stayed at 4. 1 in the month of december. Steve all right. Meanwhile, lets talk a little bit about this. Apparently howard dean, the chair of the dnc, he was on, and he was talking about how older members of his party should get the hell out of the way. Brian yes, howard dean was talking about that. So joe biden was asked about that on pbs. Are you going to run for president . Dont you feel a little old especially howard dean is calling you out . Watch. What i worry about is fundamental miscalculations. This is not a business deal. Ceos saying were going to grow. Were going to raise wages, and they are saying were so glad not to have new regulations added on. Did your administration go too far . No. Not at all. We tried to clean the air. We said the same ceos in a much larger and deeper poll that was done also have greater weight of the evidence out about his judgment. Also about his behavior and stability. Howard dean said this morning the old people in the party need to quote get the hell out of the way. Well, tell howard i can take him physically. Okay . Youre going to be running against a man whos going to be 75 years old or 76 years old at the time, whatever his age is. And it may be that i developed some problem, and im not capable of doing that. Its probably the least consequential of any election because who he would be running against in all probability. Brian hell be 78 and theyre talking about President Trump being 74. He clearly looks like hes running. Ainsley i think he will. I think he will. I think the Democratic Party is probably pushing him to run because who else do they have . Brian kamala harris. Steve well, those are the young folks. The ones who are really wellknown, theyre all Bernie Sanders, elizabeth warren. Ainsley they have to find someone whos extremely strong to go up against an incumbent, and weve seen that in every election in the past. I think hes probably their strength. Brian i do think youre right. I also think its Bernie Sanders nomination to lose. Steve he should have run last time. He could have beat donald trump. Brian but who could blame him for not because of what happened with his son . Ainsley yeah. Brian meanwhile, you see him all the time on fox. Did you know that steve cortez could k also cook . The entire cortez family is here to help and witness. Steve but first, lets check in with bill hemmer who cannot cook. He joins us live. Goodlooking family there. Good morning, guys. Joe biden sounds a little bit like i do today. Big twoday meaning at camp david starts today. Kevin mccarthy will be there. But first, hell join us live. Fiery. And then you have iran and north korea and pakistan, theyre all in the news. How can the trump team affect each . Sandra and i will see you ten minutes top of the hour.

But this morning, steve cortez is cooking with his friends and family. Brian thats according to reports. He joins us now with people he claim as his family. Ainsley because you love the bears because youre from chicago. We go on all the time talking about chicago. Tell us the best part of being a dad of four kids. Well, listen, were so blessed to have happy, healthy, and smart and pretty good looking kids. The lord has been good to us, and we have a lot of fun. Of course, we fight like any family does.

This is a recipe my mother gave me. Its so easy, lets have the kids take it away. Ainsley chase is going to start. What are you doing . So to start out, you just take your chicken breast, and youre going to make two incisions in the center and take a slice of cheese. Steve i love this already. Just roll it up, and its ready for the next station. I have butter, garlic, and mustard, and im just going to coat each side of chicken in this and pass it along. Ainsley and what do you do . I have the dry mixture and the ingredients and coat it in the mixture. I have bread crumbs, graded cheese, and salt. And my job is to stick it in the oven at 350 degrees for one hour. [applause] ainsley very good. Steve so you stick it in the oven, it comes out like this, and that is beautiful. Great for big parties because you can roll a ton. Brian how long does it take . To make them or in the oven is one hour. Brian one hour. We love to entertain. Holly is a fantastic hostess. Whether its birthdays, holidays, this is a good way to feed a lot of people not very expensive and relatively easy.
