Brian which we also are in support of. Ainsley this is shorter workweek next week is when it all starts. 2001 really starts, right . Steve we will talk about how the president has invited democrats and republicans over but we would like to remind you if you took some great pictures from your new years eve party, send them to us at friends foxnews. Com. We will sprinkle them throughout the show to show folks how america kicked off w 2 k plus 19. Brian day 12 of the shutdown and looks as though the president was in the white house basically alone in washington, d. C. As congressional leaders all went home and wondered when this was going to end. And so far the proposals on the board dont give many people encouragement this is going to end quickly. A meeting is scheduled for today. We know this,ing if you are going to smithsonian there are 19 smithsonians shut down. National zoo is close to the public. Little by Little People are going to realize the paychecks arent coming in to a certain degree the pay period that ended december 22nd, you will get paid for that after that there is going to be some trouble. Steve really, has anybody really felt the Government Shutdown . Brian not yet. Steve i went through the airport a couple times since the Government Shutdown i didnt notice it. Ainsley the essentials arent shut down. I have a Family Member who works for the government. If the shutdown continues through christmas you have to stay and work. Some people are being forced to work more. Steve if you are an essential employee and you hope you are. Heres the thing you dont get paid. If you are furloughed you dont get paid unless when they eventually fund the part of the government thats shut down they approve that nonetheless, today, the president has invited republicans and democrats to top four on each side of the house and the tha senate to come to the white house officially for a Department Homeland security board of security meeting. At this point the white house does not know if the democrats are going to show up. Why wouldnt nancy and chuck show up . Either they dont want to deal or they dont want to get essentially surprised by the president who calls inth cameras and does some more on camera negotiation. Ainsley last full day of the 115th congress. Nancy pelosi will be elected speaker of the house tomorrow. Whether or not they will show up yet to be determined. The president was tweeting out he is ready to negotiate. He said Border Security and the wall thing, the shutdown is not where nancy pelosi wanted to start her ten youre as speaker. Lets make a deal. Brian we will see. Because nancy pelosi keeps saying over and over again there is going to be no wall funding. She has two bills and two options. One that would extend the government pay until february 8th and the other until september 30th. Its a nonstarter. Has no wall money at all. This is pirnlt not for the people. Steve see, of those two bills, of the one that funds the government through september is everything but the department of Homeland Security. And the department of Homeland Security thing was just funded for about another month. To allow the Blood Pressure to go down washington, d. C. Its a nonstarter. Ainsley democrats keep saying we keep giving the republicans several different plans. We have given them two plans. But those arent the plans that republicans want. Democrats say they are not taking our plan. Republicans are saying because its not a good deal for the country. Brian doesnt involve the building of the wall. Its a political pledge the president made and thats how he got elected and thats the last thing democrats want to do who are already running for 2020 is give him an advantage. Sarah sanders responded back to this plan to the pelosi plan to reopen the government. The pelosi plan is a nonstarter it does not fund our Homeland Security, or keep American Families safe from human trafficking, drugs and crime. Steve right. So these are the political dynamics at work in washington, d. C. Right now. Nancy pelosi, as you said tomorrow, set to be speaker. She doesnt want to cave. Brian absolutely. Steve and give the president any of the money that he wants. At the same time, the president who has been hold up at the white house, not going down to maralago, i probably would imagine he is emboldened. Okay. We have had this partial Government Shutdown for now 12 days. If they are not going to give me wall money. Bring it on. So, charlie hurt had this to say about the president and politics. In a lot of ways, donald trump couldnt be happier where he is going. He is going in to this with a fight on immigration and Border Security which is a strong suit of his. And even if you get into basic democratic voters choose between border wall versus sanctuary cities, abolishing ice, to oversimplify both sides a little bit, people are going to choose Border Security. Brian what i think is important is you could say that honestly say that the democrats are taking a stand against the president because they dont want a wall built because he pledged on though. They dont want to give him that victory. Can you no longer say the president is playing politics even if you thought that begin with because it was a Midterm Election push to get republicans motivated because whats happening on our border. Our border is in chaos. The caravans are just ganging up at the border. They are not moving. And the violence continues. Look at what they had to do with the border in san diego. They had to send tear gas over the barrier to actually quiet down 150 plus people who were storming the border. Ainsley this happened new years eve about 2 00 in the morning where they probably thought there arent going to be as many agents out there working because some people celebrating. We had so many agents there getting pelted with rocks. They were wearing helmets and face masks. The dhs spokesperson said this mob of 150 migrants were standing up on this hill on the mexican side. And they were pushing the women and the minors up to the fence and pushing them up to force them to climb over and pushing even the children. The minors up into the wire. Steve razor wire was on the american side thats when they intervened. Whats interesting is the pepper gas and tear gas they used this time, they did not aim it at the women and children at the border. They simply aimed it at the people who were throwing the rocks. Now, heres a good argument for the president and his wall. That particular stretch of the wall, apparently, is part of the old wall, and apparently a number of the people were trying to burrow under it because it is it doesnt go down its apparently on the surface, 25 were arrested ultimately and most of them were trying to burrow under. Thats when the melee happened. There was one person at Border Patrol who said that the migrants appeared to be trying to stage a photo op. In front of what they refer to as conveniently invited news media. Brian here is how the news media covered it one way against us as usual. U. S. A. Today u. S. Border agents shoot tear gas at migrants. U. S. A. Today most likely got free and stayed in hotel last night. Border patrol agents fired tear gas into mexico as migrants attempt to cross into the u. S. It sounds so peaceful as they are approaching it u. S. A. Today u. S. Border agents shoot tear gas to stop migrants. Its amazing the way the headlines and articles expand on the story with a proillegal immigrant stance. Ainsley this is standard border policy. This is what think do. This is the same thing that the Obama Administration dba dozen times, too. Brian they should have. Steve meanwhile, here is the chief Border Patrol agent for the san diego area. He refers to the fact that the reason there were tear gas shells fired was because the members on the american side were attacked by the guys with the rocks. The care van showed its propensity for violence once again. They decided to assault Border Patrol agents with a hail of rocks. Our agents responded with the least amount of force they possibly could to protect themselves on the border. Steve here is the good news. Amnesty international has condemned the Border Patrols handling of this and demanded an investigation. Brian thank goodness we have a International Organization condemning our Border Patrol. That makes sense. Andrew cuomo is going to be governor of new york for a third time. This time he is going to have a democratic legislator. He is going to make this the most progressive state in the union. Which means its going to cost so much to live here. Steve no wonder why people dont. Brian people live in new york than any other state, yeah, i believe so. Steve i think its in the top four. Brian joe, would you take a look at that . Ainsley a lot of people live here. Brian a lot of people leaving. Steve yesterday, ellis island where millions of immigrants came into this country legally, he was taking a shot at the current president of the United States and his battle with immigration as well. New york will move forward, not by building a wall, my friends. But by building new bridges. Let new york say that the federal government may shut itself down but it will never extinguish the statue of libertys torch. It will never erase the words of her poem. They will never close our harbor. They will never close our hearts. They will never close this hall of dreamers. Steve in addition to making that speech, he also apparently granted clemency to 29 different people including 22 immigrants who were facing deportation related to drug charges. He also granted clemency to seven others, including four convicted murderers and three others who were convicted of armed robbery. He said all 29 of them had been rehabbed. Ainsley he also remembered his dad. His dad died on Inauguration Day four years ago. He said i can hear his voice and can i imagine his pain and anger if he could see his beloved country today. Brian really . Ainsley he says he is not running for president though. Brian certainly sounded like it. A five minute highlight speech of him and a lot of soaring rhetoric that looked at the countrys issues more than new yorks issues. We will see where it goes. We know a lot of people are scared off because Elizabeth Warren says it looks like she is going to get in. Why even try to run. Steve wonder if she was drinking beer right now. Brian looked so authentic. Can i have a beer, please, on instagram . Steve first time this year we say good morning to jillian miller. Jillian i havent seen you in forever. Welcome back. Ainsley thank you. Jillian happy new year. Ainsley happy new year to you. Suspected cop killer and illegal immigrant will face a judge today.

Before the game the longhorns 1800pound mascot charging the bulldog look at that after breaking out of his pin. His handlers literally grabbing him by the horn. Brian good instincts on the bulldog to get away. Jillian a little pregame activity there. Ainsley as if the Football Game is not competitive enough they have to bring out the bull. Steve thats why the mascot with the make heads are so effective. Brian they dont talk and not a Career Builder but they are safer. 13 minutes after the hour. Steve coming up, mitt romney may have failed to be president. Taking on the current president saying he has not risen to the mantel of the office. David bossie coming up next.

Brian incoming senator mitt romney hasnt taken office yet last night around 8 00 took shots at the president. In a the Washington Post oped his conduct over the last two years particularly his actions this month is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantel of the office. Trumps words and actions have caused dismay around the world. Here to react is Trump Former Campaign manager david bossie. Good morning. Brian mitt romney taking shots at the president is not new but utley it has has been. In january thanked him for his endorsement. January 1 he take as shot why. This is for relevancy. This is a guy who comes to washington and instead of trying to help this president , instead of trying to help the Republican Party i want to attack this president and undo and be the center of attention. He wants to talk about character. Lets talk about jealousy. Lets talk about how shallow this person is im sick and tired of mitt romney wanting Donald Trumps help on one hand grob bling trying to be the secretary of state in the transition. Lets note forget that pathetic attempt by mitt romney. Im sick and tired of people trying to come to washington and be part of the solution and they are part of the problem. Donald trump got elected to be a change agent. And he has been successful in changing this broken status quo and guys like mitt romney and outgoing his former partner paul ryan didnt agree with this president and if you look at the success this president has had over the last two years. Its insurmountable if you look at past president s. And i got to just say im so disappointed in mitt romney. Im not surprised but im disappointed. Brian here it is. You say, too. That jeff flake and john mccain they ended up being republican enemies of the president. You say mitt romney can be a much greater enemy than both of them, why . This is a guy who is used to the national stage. He has run for president and if he wasnt so incompetent he would have won that campaign to be candid beating barack obama in 2012. He should have. Mitt romney failed in that campaign and he failed the American People who have made him the nominee. He ran a terrible general election campaign. But, let me just say this. Because he has his own political machine, his own media operation and he is used to the national stage, he comes to washington as somebody who looks like, to me, you know, the Flake Mccain Corker all in one guy. He is going to be the guy standing in the breach. I will tell you i want mitt romney to be part of the solution not part of the problem. Brian david bossie thanks so much. He does have a lot of skills. International business could be a very big asset on trade. We will see what it means. Unfortunately he is an open border guy. Thats the problem. Brian david bossie, thanks so much. Thanks. Brian this american and exmarine is being detained in russia on spying charges. His family says they are deeply concerned for his safety.

I will read anything or just tell you whats on my mind. And, gender neutral birth certificates are now available in new york city. Instead of choosing male or female. People can choose their gender to be x. Parents can also choose x for their newborn babies. In california, oregon, washington, also allow the gender neutral options on birth certificates. Its going to be tough ordering 1800flowers to commemorate the birthday of x but we will see how it goes. Steve 6 25 in new york city. We are hearing more about the american detained in russia accused of being a spy. Paul wheelie, that man right there, an exmarine was arrested in moscow on friday for participating in what russia says was a spying mission. His family says he was only visiting the area for a wedding. Ainsley now that family is demanding answers. Joining us now is david wheeland. He is his brother. Tell us more about why your brother was over there because it seems very odd, very strange for america to continuously go to russia. You say he is not a spy. Tell us what you know. Paul is a person who likes to travel the world. And he is a kind and a generous person. And when a friend of his, a former marine asked him to help with a wedding ceremony that he was going to be having in moscow, paul agreed to help because paul had already been to russia a number of times. Knew where the sights were and how to get around the town. Was able to help this friend and his family to have a better experience paul flew into moscow on the 21st of december to be part of that wedding party. Steve russia is accusing your brother of being a spy. What kind of line of work was he in and did that work take him to russia . Is that why he had been there some times . His work did take him to russia. Is he in what is called corporate security. Im a librarian. Thats not familiar territory to me. My understanding from the stories he told me is that he would visit physical plants for his Company Plants either operated by the company or subsidiaries. And just check the physical security. Broken windows. Ability of people to get access to the building. That sort of thing. He traveled to many countries around the world in addition to his personal travel company says he wasnt there for business. He was theyre to the wedding u. Ainsley you learned your brother was missing by watching the media. Yes, as a librarian, we go looking for information. We hadnt heard from paul on friday night. He is extremely close to his family. My parents are elderly and he dotes on our family dog. So, we expected to have heard through them that he had, you know, been successful in russia and, you know, was having a good time, sending pictures or whatever and hadnt heard from him. Over the weekend we realized that he must be missing. He was just out of communication. It was monday morning when did i a Google Search and found that the Russian Ministry had announced that it had arrested him as a potential spy. Steve our u. S. State department has put out a statement and says this we are aware of the detention of a u. S. Citizen. Under the convention require them to provide con sue larr access and expect them to provide it w. We will see if that happens. What are the circumstances of him leaving the marines . I learned yesterday that he left under i think its the bad conduct discharge. That was news to me. But i think all of us have things in our past that maybe detract from our betterselves and thats, perhaps, why i didnt know about it. Steve apparently according to our pentagon producers apparently he had been Court Martialled back in 2008, something regarding larceny. As you just said you know nothing about it. Are you sure and im sure everybody is asking you. David, are you sure your brother is not a spy . Pauls background is in law enforcement. Is he in corporate security. Is he one of the people i would say knows very well about risks when traveling or being in Foreign Countries or income any kind of situation. I just cant imagine him getting sideways of the law in russia or doing anything anywhere close to breaking an espionage act. Ainsley why do you think they detained him . I dont really have an answer for that. Ainsley we are praying for him. We wish your family the best. I cant imagine what your parents are going through. Thank you for joining us. Thanks, ainsley. Thanks, steve. Steve you bet. Thank you. Ainsley it coming up, talking about high crimes. Thieves use pickup truck to smash into a pot shop. Steve new years ball isnt the only thing dropping in 2019.

There we are celebrating as well on Christmas Eve having some of cathys lasagna. And sally and are are golfing there on new years. Ainsley was it hard to come home sunny florida . Steve it was. One of the gifts i got for christmas, golf lessons because i need them. Ainsley new socks. You wear these fun polka dot striped socks. Today they are solid gray. I love them. Steve whats this, ainsley. Ainsley that was at my friend loris house in connecticut. Her son and motherinlaw huge fox news fan. Hayden in her arms. We had a casual fun, lots of our friends all of the kids. It was a great time. We were, i did face time on new years eve special at 8 30. With carley and griff. Brian i didnt know we would be christmas eligible. I have christmas not new years eve pictures. A few sketch artists there. I will be able to get some in the next hour when people start waking up in my neighborhood. Steve charles, how did you spend new years eve . At a restaurant with the family. My son was in he left yesterday. Went to london. Going to School College there low key but wonderful to have the family. We spent the last couple days doing a film retrospective in my house. I was sharing the movies that moved me as a child with my kids. Colley high. Cornbread early and me and yesterday we watched that hog any. I wanted them to understand what motivated me and touched me as a kid. Ainsley your son is going to school in london. Its his third year there. Brian we wanted to do that at my house tune in to 55 odd couple marathon. I love the odd couple. Brian how great is that. Lets talk about where the economy left off and where its heading. First off the good news. The president says its not a coincidence, gas prices going down. No, its not. This is the fracking miracle in america. Its just we are the Number One Oil producer in the world right now. And we are only going to get better. It means lower prices and there is an equation out there that says for every penny gasoline prices come down 1 billion purchasing power to u. S. Households. If it keeps coming down it offsets other things that could occur. Steve i read overtheholiday. I cant remember the fest or exact venue of it because as you can see we were partying heavily, but, i saw a story that apparently there is such a supply of things like natural gas. In some cases they have to give it away. Give it away, burn it off. Sometimes they turn it back and use it in the fracking process. Thats why we must bring our liquid natural gas up to snuff. The world is spending so much money. 14, 15 per unit in asia. 10, 12 in europe. There is so much opportunity out there for us to take this Natural Resource and be a global supplier. Ainsley if you look at some of the newspapers this morning, there are these pictures of the brazilian president , being he is becoming the new president with his wife and it got my attention this morning. The president was congratulating him. Saying the u. S. A. Is with you. Whats your response to this . Why is that oimportant. I will tell you why its important for a couple of reasons. Why President Trump is taking hits and opeds in the Washington Post by people who couldnt achieve what he achieved. Steve mitt romney. Around the world we are seeing a global movement, a push back against the elites that we have never seen before, i dont think, in the history in the world in the most latest example of that is brazil. This is a shocking victory. We are talking about a guy who had no money. He was almost fatally stabbed on the campaign trail. His party almost was nonexistent. They never won. This is the first time his party of ever won an election down there. What did he run on . Anticrime, anticorruption. He also talked about pushing out socialism. He talked about fake news. He loves donald trump. He idolizes donald trump. I think, you know, you couple this with what we saw in europe and italy the brexit. What we are seeing in other places there is uprising against global elites who are talked down to us for so long and never delivered. Brian no one ever linked him to any corruption number one. Number two is he against socialism as you mentioned. He is cracking down on the border. Sees whats happening in central and south america. He says we cannot have millions of people streaming into our country when we are on our backs with social programs. He also is pushing back against china. And their investment. Which turns out to be extortion because once they invest and build your infrastructure, they want to affect your policy. In brazil they are pushing back on that. They should push back. The new colonialization. The president of malaysia went to china, 95yearold guy went to china and said no thank you to 25 billion. He said you guys are colonizing the world. I dont want your money. Other countries have taken the money. Cons exceptly they are taking over parts of africa, parts of asia and south america. They are taking them over. Its predatory lending. If your country has a net g. D. P. Of 600 million and i lend you 2 billion, i know you can never pay that back. Eventually i will own your country. Brian thats whats happening in pakistan. Thats whats happening there. Weak economies around the world are pressuring our markets early this morning. Steve that means the number is going to be down. Great news other the last four or five trading sessions we have been able to climb off the canvas. We need to see this market be tested like this and show some resolve. Im so pumped. Brian charles, jillian is behind you unless have you anything else to say i would like you to toss to her, is that okay . Charles i do have Something Else to say cant be more important than what jillian has to say. Jillian thank you for that permission, charles. Jillian we are following this scary story out of florida. A toddler was rushed to the hospital after falling into a rhino exhibit at the zoo. Officials say the 2yearold fell through a barrier no melbourne, florida. The rhino tapped the tout before her mother pulled her out. A shoe left behind in the enclosure. A childs father says she is doing well. Thieves take their high crimes to the next level. Watch, as they crash a pickup truck in reverse through the wall of a detroit pot dispensary. Raiding the store causing 20,000 worth of damage. They also stole a few thousand dollars worth of marijuana edibles and a computer in just three minutes. Elizabeth warren is heading to iowa this weekend as she eyes a potential 2020 white house run. The democratic senator will visit four cities in the early caucus state since launching her 2020 Exploratory Committee on monday. Her announcement will allow her to raise campaign money. Maybe kanye wests new years resolution was to get back into politics. Rapper posting a series of tweets on new years day. Trump all day. One of my favorite of many things about what the trump hat represents to me is that people cant tell me what to do because im black. So i guess in 2019 we will expect to hear more from kanye west. Steve we have already. Ainsley if hains when he said im getting out of politics. Brian he did the rogan podcast already thats huge news. Steve the cap is back on. Brian i didnt know he took it off. Steve did he for a minute. He was in the georgetown store he jumped up in the apple store he jumped up, he had a different colored hat on and people went wheres the red. Such detail. I could be wrong though. 19 minutes before the top of the hour. Janice dean the weather machine joins us for the first time in 2019. Janice happy new year my friends. Look who is here to join me.

Janice congratulations shop family. Lets go shopping. Brian we wanted to make sure she wasnt putting us on and she was not. Ainsley thank you. Brian good journalistic instincts. 17 minutes before the top of the hour. President trump wishing happy new year to everyone including some of his haters. Some of those haters are leaving washington. What about the trump haters coming in . Steve jane curtin under fire for new years resolution about killing republicans. Does the left really think this is okay . My new years resolution is to make sure that the Republican Party dies. Hey. Saved you a seat. This rounds on me. Hey, can you spot me . Come on in find your place, today, with silver sneakers. Included with Many Medicare advantage plans. Call the number on the screen now or visit getsilversneakers. Com steve well, the president kicked off a new year with a message for his critics, he tweeted happy new year to everyone, in all caps. Including the haters and the fake news media. 2019 will be a fantastic year for those not suffering from trump derangement syndrome. Just calm down and enjoy the ride. Great things are happening for our country. With a new Congress Taking session, what can we expect in the year ahead. John mclaughlin Trump Campaign polster and president and partner of mclaughlin and associates. Good morning to you. Good morning. Great to be with you. Steve we have a new congress coming. In the president had a couple of senators who were not helpful to him he had senator jeff flake and bob corker. They are both gone and we have a couple of new people, rick scott and also we have got josh hawley from the great state of missouri coming. In right. Those are really good changes for the president because the one thing about the Republican Party its the party of donald trump. Millions of voters agree with the president. He crushed it when he ran when we were doing his primary campaign he crushed it. He was winning primary after primary. People responded responded to his message about trade and immigration. Now he has ha list in over two years over 200 accomplishments. When you think about the changes where jeff flake was trying to hold this up right until the end of the shutdown he was trying to protect Robert Mueller who after two years we have a National Poll in december after two years only 32 think there is anything to that investigation. And when you look at josh hawley, he replaced Clair Mccaskill she never gave us a vote on tax. Didnt support us on the supreme court. The kavanaugh effect really helped. We had deny super pac work in florida to help rick scott and in missouri to help josh hawley. They will make a big difference for the president. This morning, i think its this morning or this afternoon the president is going to be meeting with republicans and democrats. Although we dont know whether or not any democrats are going to show up to talk about Border Security. Right. Steve ultimately the wall fund something going to come up. Right. Steve is this a winner for the president . He made it clear i ran on building the wall. I cant walk away without some wall dough. Its not just about the wall. Its about ilLegal Immigration system and borders. The democrats are really running to the radical left where they want open borders. Think about it we took a survey in september we found that 65 to like 25 , they prefer the legal system to open borders. What they are doing with this suretydown is they are aiding and abetting people coming here for jobs. Thats what they say they are coming here for. And what they are doing is jumping the line on people who are here legally every year we take in a Million People legally. They wait and hope for it now these people are just coming up to the border and getting. In its wrong and the president knows it. Steve lets see what happens in that meeting. John, happy new year. Happy new year. Great to see you back. Steve thank you. Good to be back. Former saturday night live star jane curtin under fire after she said this my new years resolution is to make sure that the Republican Party dies. Steve comedian Michael Loftis has some observation about those comments. Is he going to join us live next. Texas congressman elect dan crenshaw and Newt Gingrich. Its a busy wednesday. My new years resolution is to make sure that the Republican Party dies. Ainsley remember her from snl that was comedian and snl alum that was her message for the Republican Party on the new year. Steve the question is does the tolerant left in hollywood think thats okay or was it simply a joke . Brian did some find it inspiring lets ask comedian michael loftus. Is he on a tour of his own and been willing to analyze comedy. Do you think can you stop yourself from laughing from that hysterical line to comment on what it means for comedy . That was absolutely terrifying. Really terrifying to makes sure the Republican Party dies. She meant it that wasnt a joke. That wasnt a joke. That makes you glad that there is a 3day waiting period on guns. Jane curtin has lost it she is completely not funny. This is what the left has been thinking for a long, long time. It would be so much easier if there was no opposition they have no message and cant win a debate. It would be easier if all the republicans were dead and gone. Its terrifying. Steve in other words, she is just being honest. Thats what she wants. I think trump has them so frustrated the mask is off. It would be so much easier for the left if all the republicans could just get out of the way they could take over and we would be venezuela by the morning. Jane curtin has made a living playing cold mean calculating women. Turns out she wasnt playing a part. She is a cold, mean, calculating women. Ainsley what do you think about actors giving political opinion . Do you think they should do that . Well, they can. If you want to give your opinion go for it im not going to hang out at any parties with these guys . Seriously, they want me dead. If im at Holiday Party and jane curtin hands me an owe dorf i will say pass and get to my car. Brian 2018 coming out party someone who admitted they voted for President Trump. That took a lot of courage. How do you plan on building on that . I didnt know how bad the problem was and how angry the left really was. Im getting ready to go on a 15city nationwide tour. The deplorable show. Com its going to be myself, terrence williams, the deplorable choir steve that grew and brian hainor. 15 cities. Particulars go presale on the 10th. Its going to be huge.

Someone has to im throwing myself out there. The show is great. We are going to entertain people. And not wish death upon them. Steve happy new year. Ainsley you want everyone to live. Thats my new years resolution. Everyone has a great life. Steve were stepping aside. Back in two minutes with much more. Ito take care of anyct messy situations. And put irritation in its place. And if i can get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected. You can get comfortable doing the same with yours. Preparation h. Get comfortable with it. My mom washes the dishes. Before she puts them in the dishwasher. So what does the dishwasher do . Cascade platinum does the work for you, prewashing and removing stuckon foods, the first time. Wow, thats clean cascade platinum. New year but no resolution to a partial Government Shutdown. Still, President Trump says calm down and enjoy the ride. One thing about the Republican Party now, its the party of donald trump now you have a list in over two years 200 accomplishments. The caravan kicks off 2019 by storming the southern border once again. They decided to assault Border Patrol agents with a hail of rocks. Brian mitt romney hasnt even took office yet but took shots at the president. This is a attempt by mitt romney for relevancy. Instead of trying to help the Republican Party he wants to attack this president. The race for the white house in 2020 takes shape. Im talking about running for the president of the United States. Hold on a sec. Im going to get me a beer. In the sugar bowl, texas beats georgia. Before the game, the longhorns 1800pound mascot bivo charging georgias bulldog. Look at that under the moon the emotion that i get from you you got the kind of loving. Steve live from new york city in washington, d. C. And points all around the globe, its fox friends for a wednesday that feels like a monday. It is january 2, 2019. Ainsley its going to be a great year. Its going to be a wonderful year. Im claiming right t. Right now. Steve going to be a great year if all goes as many celebrated the new years eve. We would like to see how you rung in 2019. And we have got some of your pictures. Ainsley you were in florida, right . Steve i was down in florida. Brian this is bernadette. This in from her and her trip celebrating new years eve in tampa, florida, which is beautiful this time of year. Ainsley close to you, steve. Steve same state. Ainsley check out sherri celebrating new years eve and 55th wedding anniversary with her family. Congratulations. Steve take a look at andrews dog olive all decked out as he rang in 2019. Ainsley how cute is that . Steve very, very cute. Keep your pictures coming. Friends foxnews. Com. We will be showing them all morning long and we post on on social media. Ainsley you put something on your dogs head and quick take the picture. Steve because the dog goes like this. Brian dogs dont want to be embarrassed either. Talk more on what embarrassing dogs a little bit later. What ticks americans off, democrats and republicans, to see the chaos at the border on new years eve. Thats exactly what was happening. They say about 150 plus wouldbe Illegal Immigrants, if they had their way, were trying to storm across the border when Border Guards were, again, forced to act and shoot tear gas in their direction while avoiding rocks. Steve well, the reason exactly, the reason they did launch the tear gas and the pepper spray was because a number of the migrants part of the caravan by the way were throwing rocks, and then they were pushing women and children toward the front of the group. Apparently they were forcing, according to some news reporting, forcing children to climb over the razor wire and lowering people down on the razor wire along the u. S. Side of the fence. Thats you when the Border Patrol intervened to make sure nobody got hurt. The pepper gas and tear gas was aimed at the rock throwers. Not the people who were trying to burrow under that part of the old dilapidated fence. Ainsley one of the witnesses that was down there was standing in front of on the u. S. Side of the fence. On the mexican side there was a big mound. You can kind of see it there he said that thats where everyone was standing. And that they were throwing, hurling rocks over the fence onto the american side. And hitting our officers or our patrol our Border Patrol agents in the face with rocks. They were wearing shields thank goodness and had their helmets on, too. Brian democrats and republicans few issues unify us. This should be avoided. This should be condemned whats happening on our southern border and our Border Guards should be backed up. That includes a barrier. That includes, in some cases, a wall. That includes some virtual fencing. Bottom line is, while washington doddles and get back to back instead of face to face there is chaos on our border. Katie waldman dhs spokesperson, knows as much as anybody at Homeland Security put out this statement the agencies voflgd should be a34r5uded for the handling of this situation with no reported injuries to the attackers. Unfortunately Congress Continues to ignore the professional advice from men and women of the Border Patrol who have told them that walls work. Congress needs to fully fund the border wall. Steve that is exactly what the president has called for. But, as you know, we are now up to day 12, i believe. Of the partial Government Shutdown. And its all because the democrats will not give the president 5 billion. He would like 25 billion to build the wall. Now, he has called in Top Republicans and democrats to the white house later today, according to the white house, it is unknown whether or not any democrats are actually going to show up. This is supposed to be a briefing on Border Security. And all they would have to do is play the video we just showed you and say, look, we have got a problem with the wall. That wall in that spot is dilapidated. People are able to crawl under it also they are able to climb over it we have got to do something about it nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer have made it very clear they dont want to give the president a single nickel. President , on the other hand, has made it very clear he will keep the government shut down unless he gets some money. Ainsley he is ready to negotiate. He tweeted this out. He said Border Security and the wall thing and shutdown is not where nancy pelosi wanted to start her tenure as speaker. Lets make a deal. Nancy is going to be elected as the speaker tomorrow. Today is the last day of the 115th congress. Brian some wanted to bolster up definition. Sometimes they wants to bolster social programs. They give and take. Parity of the reason the president wanted so much for the president to build the military he needed to give in to democrats for social programs. Number one program is infrastructure. So now that we are in the new year and nancy pelosi and a couple days will become the official speaker, do they sit down the same way, even though its you have to suspend logic to think that its not a democratic and republican issue. If Border Patrol means if Border Security means a lot to republicans. And not democrats, and democrats want infrastructure. Do we do the deal in that way . You offer this program for that program. Steve but, infrastructure is not on the table. The democrats have made it very clear they are going to put out two bills tomorrow. One would fund most of the government through september. The other bill would Fund Department of Homeland Security at current levels. Ainsley 1. 3 billion for global security. Steve through february. There is no grand deal here. And, were not even sure that the democrats are going to show up. And i have heard that one of the bills has scores of pet projects for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle which is traditional washington. I heard from somebody at the white house yesterday they think that there is a proposal from some democrats to actually put foreign funding, to foreign governments into this bill, while, at the same time, no money to protect. Brian that could be central and south america. The guatemala, ecuador, el salvador where these people are coming from. Some with bad intentions, some with not intentions. Some are desperate and some are being promised a rose garden when one doesnt exist. The question is, too. If you are coming to washington to see the smithsonian, 19 smithsonian museums are coming. If you are going to washington zoo no reason to hippos and tigers you cant get into there. I was in st. Augustine a few days ago and wanted to go to that ancient settlement in america shut down no. One was allowed. In a lot of the people plan their vacations around that already people being inconvenienced and wonder if that will ramp up the pain and improve the process for negotiation. Ainsley it is an inconvenience, yes. Most of the people are good people there are bad apples in the group. Even though it is inconvenience. He is saying that your safety and security as an american, you deserve to be able to go to sleep at night and not have to worry about being killed by illegal immigrant and we have seen that harassment we have seen there are so many moms and dads that we have interviewed that say, yes, its very rare that this is going to happen. It can happen. It happened to my child. They are saying i want to prevent other families from going through the loss. You have this Police Officer in california suspected, this driver of driving intoxicated so he pulls him over. And the guy pulls out a gun and shoots him. Theres the Police Officer. Steve ronil singh shot at routine traffic stop. Ainsley has a baby. Steve the person who is accused of murdering him is gastavo, 33, being held without bail. He will be arraigned later today. The suspect is a known criminal alien and is he a gang member and after the shooting he led officers on days long manhunt. 8 people are in jail regarding. This is he charged with murder. Seven others are charged with actually trying to help him while he was on the run. Brian all right. Sheriff Adam Christianson did an oped and put in the hill. Here is an excerpt from it. End political vitriol. Solve immigration to honor officer singh. Law enforcement over some ill conceived perception that we target this undocumented population. They have also created sanctuary for criminals. They are protecting from accountability and consequence. These predators who victimize and exploit others all while silencing crime victims. This isnt a platform at the rnc or dnc. This is a person who is out there fighting crime ilLegal Immigration and see what is sanctuary cities is not helping, it is hurting. Steve sanctuary state. Its california. Ainsley they put their life on the lines. They dont make a lot of money. When this happens, the family left behind is stuck with financial burden. This wonderful organization, tunnel 2 towers you know this organization developed after 9 11. His brother ran through the tunnel to help folks in the towers. They are raising money, this organization, to pay off her mortgage now. Steve thats right. Brian singh joined the force in 2011. He has a 5monthold son and survived as you see by his wife. They are going to need some help. Steve so far apparently tunnel 2 towers has raised 204,000 to pay off his mortgage. If you would like to help there is the address right there tunnel 2 towers. Org.

There is no end in sight. Aaron cohen served in israels special ops counterterrorism unit and now manufactures terrorreadiness products for law enforcement. As you can see he joining us now from l. A. Apparently the guy yelled allahu akbar as he was put into the back of a police van after the stabbing. And long live the caliphate. Well, the first thing that comes to m mind is that he was unapologetic. He went to a specific place to do a specific thing for a specific reason. This wasnt a hate crime. This wasnt a dare that he was that someone bet him to do. This is somebody who deeply is in belief of the caliphate as its related to isis. And its very reminiscent of the westminster attack that happened last march in 2017 when a gentleman by the name khalid mass siewl driving into 40 or 50 pedestrians and stabbing a Police Officer to death. Its more of the same thing over and over again. The commitment with these lone wolves thats creating a pattern here which is the lone wolf epidemic is very closely knit across europe and to me thats concerning. Steve police could not confirm whether or not he had been previously known to them. Not known if he was a lone wolf, im sure we will find that out shortly. Aaron, you just mentioned, its a problem across europe. It happens with some regulator. Whats going on over there . Well, steve its a good question. Its the epitome of a failed immigration policy. I dont know how else to put this other than the fact if you let a million nonconforming immigrants into your country, and grant them citizenship and there so diametrically opposed to the way you live, to the values that you believe in and have absolutely zero background capability to be able to vet these immigrants and what they were up to in these prior countries such as syria and iraq, iran, and im talking about some of the nastier pockets in the world involving terrorism against the United States. You let them n n. A failed attempt to bring them over these borders. What you have is pockets of sympathizers growing and spreading their tentacles like no mads across europe. Thats what were looking at. Failed immigration policy. Steve sounds like he had been in the country 19 years so we dont know his circumstances exactly. Aaron cohen joining us today from l. A. Aaron, happy new year. Thank you very much for joining us. Happy new year to you guys. Steve 7 20 in new york city.

Thats how much michigan just raised its hourly minimum wage rate. Workers will now make at least 9. 45 an hour. 20 states have minimum wage hikes this year. Next. 5 million. Thats how much reigning nfl mvp missed out in bonus this year. The quarterback failing to earn performance incentives in several categories including passing yards and touchdown so he loses 5 million. And finally, 122 years old, thats how old this woman, the record holder for oldest living person said she was. But it turns out that might not be accurate. Researchers think stole her mothers identity to avoid paying taxes and that she was really only 99 when she died back in 1997. Some of the news, ainsley, brian. Ainsley thank you so much, steve. New yorks Governor Andrew Cuomo granting 29 new years clemenss those off the hook include 22 immigrants who, because of convictions, mostly related to drug crimes could have been deported. Brian the governor taking a shot at President Trump over Border Security saying in a statement while President Trump shuts down the federal government over his on sessions with keeping immigrants out. New york stands strong in our support for immigrant communities. These action also help keep immigrant families together. What theyre missing is the illegal part. Ainsley maureen malones son matthew killed by illegal i will grant in 2011 and she joins us now to react. Thank you so much for being with us. Good morning. Ainsley first of all, good morning, tell us for folks at home that dont know your story, what happened with your son . So my son matt knew janies was 22 years old. Just graduated from college. He was coming home on his motorcycle in a residential area where he was hit by a truck driven by illegal alien. Matthew survived the collision. But the illegal alien fled. Ran matthew over and dragged him a quarter of a mile to his death. Brian wow, andrew equipment mow sits down there thank you, new york for my third term. Look at the statue of liberty. We are a nation of immigrants. What he is missing the is the illegal immigrant part of this. How does that make you feel . Its very upsetting. He pardons criminals. Arrested for new crimes that they committed. Ilights noticed in your intro he stead these actions would help keep immigrant families together. Building a wall and securing our border will help keep American Families together by preventing illegal aliens from killing thousands of innocent americans each year. Ainsley what is your message to Governor Cuomo this morning when you know that he pardons these Illegal Immigrants . You know, he is pandering to the illegal aliens. He is spouting rhetoric. He is instilling fear in legal immigrants in the community. Is he misleading his constituents and just pandering for votes for his 2020 president ial run. His job is to keep americans safe. That should be his priority along with Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi, Elizabeth Warren. Their job is to keep americans safe. They need to secure our border and protect americans. Keep American Families together. Brian maureen, its such an insult when people say antior proimmigrant. No one is antiimmigrant. There is a process to getting here. Most clearthinking americans understand. This this should not be political. It wasnt until recently why now . I dont know why it is now. We allow over 1 million legal immigrants to enter our country every single year. We are a nation that welcomes legal immigrants. It is the Illegal Immigrants that we have an issue with. They are coming across our border. They are not vetted. We dont know what diseases they are bringing. Not fair to those doing the process legally and paying the fees and waiting for their turn to come here. Ainsley its interesting. Because i heard you say keep American Families together. Governor cuomo says these actions will help keep immigrant families together. Thank you, maureen for being here. Were sorry for your loss. Thank you very much. Brian all right, maureen. 28 minutes after the hour. Ainsley still ahead terrifying moments at the zoo a 2yearold little girl falls into the rhino exhibit.

Brian this is karen celebrating with new years eve with best friends overlooking the pittsburgh skyline. Steve what a nice spot to be. Check out our friend and next guest dan bongino ringing in the new year with his wife and children. As you can see, they are taking a selfie down in florida. Ainsley now we see what his wife looks like. We always hear, dan, that she is sleeping in the room next door when you are on with us. Brian wake her up, and see if she wants to come out. I married up. I was a little hesitant to give your producers that photo. Because i know im going to get emails now like gosh, she is such a beautiful woman why marry bongino. I definitely married up. She is a 10 out of 10. Brian dan, you also as a secret service service, author, you wrote the attempted sabotage of donald j. Trump. Before we talk about that, i was stunned about 8 00 last night out comes a the Washington Post oped from mitt romney, a senatortobe, about to take over. Maybe play a major role in some different issues. Is he taking direct shots at the president. Why . Because he is a sellout. Is he a fraud. He is a phony. He is a fake. This is the kind of guy who is absolutely disseminated the Republican Party. You know, brian, when there is a museum left to the remnant of the swamp g. O. P. And were all walking through this museum in 20 or 30 years when there used to be the gop. Exhibit 1 will be mitt romney followed closely by jeff flake. You know, jeff flake had to pass the baton of g. O. P. Sellouts. The race isnt even over yet. Romney doesnt even swear in, i believe, until thursday. They couldnt even wait to pass the baton. Whats even more disgraceful about this romney oped, and, listen, i spoke positively about mitt romney for a very long time. He we ran in the same election cycle. This is a disgusting move. This is the same guy who went up to bedminster, donald trump gave him a chance even after romney shah lacked him, unnecessarily so. Trump gave him a chance. He gave him another chance having dinner with him in manhattan, the president , that is. And interviewed him for jobs. And do you know what . He endorsed romney, the president. You want to talk about character, you big phony fraud fake. You know what . You should have never taken that endorsement if this is how you felt. This guy is a disgrace. Is he an embarrassment. Im embarrassed for him, the people of utah and anyone who supported this fraud. What a fake. Steve i will tell you what, daniel. A portion of the oped in the the Washington Post roads this his conduct, talking about the president s, over the last two years, particularly his actions this month is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantel of the office. Trumps words and actions have caused dismay around the world. He was very forthcoming though in the beginning of it, donald trump was not my choice during the election cycle. Then when he became the nominee i hoped he would change but he has not. At least he was honest in the beginning. Honest about what though, steve, this is my problem with this. Donald trump has been Crystal Clear from the start. I know he has a difference of opinion. I respect that i know a lot of smart people do as well. He has been Crystal Clear about his policy about what he felt about our interventions overseas. He had a disagreement with a very well respected man in jim mattis. Mattis respectfully resigns and trump lets him go. Whats the character problem here in the character problem is this phony fraud hoaxer, mitt romney pretending to be a conservative who, again, accepted proudly and bragged about it on twitter the endorsement of donald trump after he screwed trump over multiple times. Trump does the right thing. Steps up, endorses the republican. And what does he do . He then turns around and doesnt even swear in yet and writes this oped filleting donald trump for character issues . What, for sticking to his Campaign Promises. Maybe if romney had been a real conservative and not a phony, maybe we wouldnt have had to deal with two terms of barack obama but we couldnt because he lost. Ainsley americans are scratching their heads this morning like you said, they meet together, they have dinner together. They are shaking hands. They seem to be friends. Semi friends or at least able to get along. And do you know what . These democrats are so good at being loyal to one another. Republicans, the party its so interesting that the party doesnt the party, shouldnt that if you are a republican, shouldnt you support the party no matter who is in office or do you support what mitt romney is doing if you dont agree with the president then write an oped . Heres the problem we have, ainsley. What are our other options . Democrats want to destroy the country immediately. The swamp rat republicans are the manage recliners. We will manage the decline of the country while we keep our bow ties on and eat our flawflaw gras launches. Its all about gray, never about black and white. The problem is we had a vote for someone like romney. The real fight is in the primaries when we have got to get rid of guys like this. You asked me whats going on . Heres whats going on. There is still a big class of donors and interests out there that cannot let go of the fact that donald trump does not care about the old ways of doing business. You may not like it. You may think he is a little rough around the edges. Final. Have your opinion. He is not interested in the old ways of doing it i mean, what else do you need to hear . He has already done things that the swamp has told him not to do because he made those Campaign Promises. Romney is the guy representing those muddied interests. Im telling you right now, he is setting someone up to either run himself in 2020 or to back some swamp rat to run against trump. Hes going to be the guy to marches the effort. Brian even if he feels that way i dont get the tactics. I dont either. Brian some preserve not to see Stormy Daniels and horse face and tweets that make no sense. Why is to advantage to eviscerate the president where he becomes the president from utah. It doesnt make sense. Its not. Its just a really dumb decision. Is he a sellout. He sold us out. Steve ladies and gentlemen, you just saw a preview of coming attractions. This revved up. Dan bongino is going to be hosting the five later today. Dont miss it. Ainsley you are in florida. You are taking a flight right after this . Listen, i work i never stop. This is my home studio. Im jumping on a flight in a half an hour im hopping up to you guys. Brian maybe you can borrow Jesse Watters plane . I dont think he would lend it to me if he did. [laughter] steve happy new year. Happy new year.

Steve its not hard to ride its just hard to hold on theres Nothing Holding me back you take me places that tear up my reputation if your moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis or crohns symptoms are holding you back, and your Current Treatment hasnt worked well enough it may be time for a change. Ask your doctor about entyvio®, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohns.

Steve there were some terrifying mommys at the zoterrify moments at the zoo after a toddler fell into a rhino exhibit. Ainsley can you imagine if you were a exhibit. Amanda is live at the orlando hospital where that little girl is recovering. Good morning, amanda, tell us what happened. Good morning. Yes, a very scary way to start the new year for one family when their 2yearold daughter had to be air lifted to the hospital here in orlando. After tripping and falling backwards into a rhino play area at brevard zoo. The zoo director thinks one rhino touched the child with her snout. Two parents jumping in to get her out of there. Can you see in this photo from twitter by one of the zoo guests that you see a small shoe left behind in that enclosure. That shoe is believed to belong to that injured toddler. Now, the zoo director says she was crying and had a small injury to her face. But says those injuries are from the fall and not from the rhino. Now, the viewing area and the enclosure are both on ground level. So this child did not fall from an elevated point. Now, the girls father says she is still here at the hospital recovering. And the mother who jumped in to save her was also injured but has been treated and released for a minor injury to her arm. For now, that rhino encounter is closed indefinitely. Until they can figure out how to prevent Something Like this from ever happening again. Steve and ainsley . Steve indeed. Ainsley you saw them with the measuring tape. They are probably trying to see how many mosts they need to put up in between. Thank you so much. Steve all right, brian. Brian 13 minutes before the top of the hour. Elizabeth warren heading to iowa this weekend. First trip to the caucus state days after taking a step towards a 2020 run for president. I have made big announcement today. Im really excited. We have donations from all 50 states. 5 bucks here and 10 bucks here and did you go girl. Hold on a sec. Im going to get me, um, a beer. Enjoy your beer. I want to start 2019 in this fight. Brian our next guest shows this style while warren will sink the democrats and ultimately fail in a run for the office. Tom rogan joins us now. Tom, what was the point of the beer . Well, i think it was to show, brian, a sense of contemporary reality in terms of, look, im just a normal american. But, the rigid nature in which she had to disappear off camera. You would think that someone doing a casual Instagram Post would have the beer next to them if they were being genuine. This is the problem for Elizabeth Warren that she is both too distant from most of the electorate in terms of her personal demeanor, but, also too unaware of that distance. She senses its something not that important. In that duality she is not predisposed towards winning the presidency. Brian even her announcement of an Exploratory Committee. It was trafficky. She didnt want to answer any questions. Everything was so generic. She didnt go out and just rip President Trump what she does regularly. What do you think that tactic is about . Well, i dont know what the tactic is about. I dont know a lot of what the thought process is behind her political campaigning because it doesnt seem terribly conducive to herbert interests. I do think one of the big systemic challenges that she faces beyond any sort of personality issues in terms of absent charisma is the fact when she does articulate her policy provisions and we have seen this on Foreign Policy and banking regulations for example, there is a reliance on sort of simple oneline sailable things designed to appeal to a particular part of the Democratic Party. But the actual policy formulation lacks a sort of either a simplicity of purpose, or a kind of unifying agenda. Something that for example, the wall is identified with President Trump. Or barack obama. Hope and change. Narratives that have appeal are not ones that find their way to her. Brian tom, real quick answer, is she top tier or not . Is she top 5. No, i dont think she is. The major reason for that is she has destroyed her brand with the identity base of the Democratic Party which is very important because of the native american blood test. Brian right. 23 and me not good. Thanks tom rogan. Good to see you. You too. Brian coming up, a real beef on the College Football field. The texas mascot go goes after the georgia bulldog. He the georgia bulldog walked away. Did he make the ride move . We are learning how to ride a mechanical bull which is very similar to a real bull only without legs enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. Now no fruit is forbidden. Nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for allday, allnight protection. Can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn . Steve he was 2018s professional bull rider of the year. Before he competes in the toughest sport on dirt this weekend is he here on fox square to teach us how to ride a mechanical bull and ride a cowboy hat. Ainsley even when he falls off he lands on his feet professional bull rider keyshawn. Congratulations. Thank you i appreciate it. Ainsley how long have you been doing. This since i was 5. Quite some time. Steve how does a 5yearold start . You see it on tv rides sheep, rides cavs. Brian whats the most important part to train to get ready to be successful on that. Is it your core . Two things legs and your core. Legs are foundation squeeze to keep you on. Core helps you stay balanced. Ainsley what about your hand . You have to grip and hold on. You have to hold on. Thats like if you really get out of position. Steve you are leaving out the screaming part thats where janice dean comes. In. Steve in an hour one of us is going to do this. You are going to give us tips through january anything, right . Yeah, yeah. Janice hold on tight . Yeah, hold on tight. Squeeze your legs. Janice whats my form like . Take your legs and squeeze . Squeeze the bull with your legs so it keeps you in the middle, keep both legs on both sides, if one goes on the other side that means you are bucking off. Steve what about hanging onto the horns . Thats not recommended . Ainsley that will make them real mad. Brian try to get janice dizzy or throw her off . What are you trying to do. I think dizzy would be fine. I dont want to throw her off. She is too pretty to throw off. [awe] steve trick riding standing up. She is better at it than i am. Ainsley very tame bull. Ainsley for now. Steve you will be back in a little while. Get your tickets to the Monster Energy buckoff at the garden january 4th and 6th at pbr. Com. Brian and buck off. Ainsley im glad you clarified because it might have sounded like Something Else. Brian we will do this again next hour. Janice, did you very good. You made it look so easy. Ainsley good job. It looks like its going faster and faster. Steve texas congressman going to be joining us and Newt Gingrich both here live on fox square. Giddy up, janice.

It is about ilLegal Immigration system versus open borders. The caravan kicks off 2019 by storming the southern border once again. Brian incoming senator mid romney hasnt even taken office yet took shot at the president. This guy is a disgrace, fraud, phony. Move forward by not building a wall but building new bridges. He said the actions will kept keep immigrant families together. Building a wall will help keeping American Families together by preventing illegal aliens from killing ringing in new year with politically charged tweet. Simply writing trump all day. Brian how do you like me now . I wonder if the president asks chuck and nancy that if they do show up at the white house later today. Live from new york city, it is the first day after the first of january. So january 2nd but feels like a monday but it is actually a wednesday. Ainsley shorter work week. Everyone is in a good mood. Everyone is gone for a week. You are refreshed. Got some sleep. No alarm clocks. Now were all back. Brian i felt pretty good. I got rid of my tree. Pick it up today or tomorrow, so we stripped it or put it out. Ainsley we were going to do that i was going to do that last night. Ran out of time. Brian turn the page for 2019. We asked you for new years pictures. That message got me at 4 30 in the morning. In effort to wake my family, got that picture. Sent to my brothers in florida. Prior to new years eve, we were, that is not it. That is steve. Steve couple hundred miles south where the kilmeades were standing, doocys toasting the new year. Ainsley i saw that very cute. Looked like you were having a lot of fun. Looked like you were on the beach. We were. Brian new years eve picture not on the beach. Ainsley there is with one of my really good friends, lori, there is her son in the green and his mom is next to her. She is is the best chef. She is italian. She cooked so much food for us. We had a blast. Casual night at loris house in connecticut. We had a great time. Steve love to see more of your pictures, email them, foxandfriends. Com. Well show the balance in the last of the hour. Chuck and nancy, other Top Democrats were invited to the white house. The president invited all the congressional leaders over for a department of Homeland SecurityBorder Security briefing. It is going to, if they show up, it will center around, will you give me the money. That would be the president saying that. They will say absolutely not. Lets talk about Something Else because they made it very clear where each side stands. They are super dug in. Ainsley the president said, go ahead. Brian gogo ahead. Ainsley the president says he wants to negotiate it. Call it whatever you want. Call it a fence. I want to negotiate. This is what he tweeted out, Border Security and wall thing is shutdown is not where nancy pelosi started tenure as speaker. Lets make a deal. Brian not about them. It is about us. Most people in this country need Border Security and we need slats and steel slats. That is the president giving in. I want a steel wall. I see different needs. I get it. We need to see through, we need it lower or need it higher. Ive changed. I amended my view, what i ran on. A steel wall duty not work everywhere in 2,000mile border. But democrats dont see it like that. Suddenly a barrier most of them voted for is ineffective or medieval. It is not mid eval. It is working constantly. Works in your neighborhood and your house and works in other countries. Democrats pretend it wont work here and they wont give in. No one is worse off than the American People in this whole battle. A battle about personal animosity. It is not a battle against us. Ainsley democrats keep saying, nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer, say we have given the president two different plans. He is not agreeing to those plans. We have done our part. President is saying it is not what i asked for. It is not a negotiation. She wants to fund through september, the spending bills. Fund the department of Homeland Security at current levels through february 8th. The current level is 1. 3 billion in Border Security. That is why brian not even a wall. Not even for a barrier. For Border Security in general. Ainsley technology, drones. Steve 1. 3 is not wall money. Why Sarah Sanders put this out. The pelosi plan is a nonstarter, it does not fund our Homeland Security or keep American Families safe from human trafficking, drugs and crime. People at the white house, we saw from one of our producers, matt leech, apparently unclear whether or not the democrats will even show up at this meeting. You have to wonder why. If they dont show up, does that mean they dont want a deal . Obviously they dont want to negotiate on the eve of nancy pelosi becoming speaker. She doesnt want to be seen as caving to the republican president , giving him any money for that wall, which as we have heard from a number of democrats over last week, it is not just ineffective, it is not just expensive, it is immoral. Ainsley you make a good point. The president extended a invitation. Steve to negotiate. Ainsley whether or not they will show up. He made it very clear. How many tweets did woe say him, im holed up at the white house trying to open up the government. Nancy pelosi as we heard from news reports was off at a hawaiian vacation. Brian they will go that is your problem, republicans because you voted in the past. To be honest. Republicans didnt do a good job prior passing to 5 point something billion late last week before they left on break. All of suddennen they woke up to the fact that the president wasnt giving in. They should have woke up to the fact a year ago, when president said i wont sign any bill like that. At 8 30, 24 minutes, Newt Gingrich will be here. He has been through a lot of tough negotiations and partisan battles. Maybe give us an idea how this will work out. Ainsley the president has talked to parents because after child, illegal i am my grant is here, drunk driving accidents. If you look at video what happened new years eve 2 00 in the morning, a mob of 250 migrants, standing on mexico side, right by one of the fences. Look at this. This is what was happening. Our Border Agents had to fire off tear gas at the individuals because they were pelting our Border Agents with rocks. Hitting them in the face and head. Thankfully they were wearing face masks. Steve Border Patrol, that migrants were trying to stage a photoop in front of convenientlyinvited media. These images are clear what was going on. As you see volleys of tear gas and pepper spray. They did not aim them at women and children rushing the wall. Instead those were going out at people who were throwing the rocks. Ainsley what steve is talking about, if you read the reports from the department of Homeland Security, the spokesperson said the men were pushing the women and the minors up towards the fence trying to push them over into the razor wire. Brian even the Border Patrol couldnt grab the kids because they were getting pelted with rocks. Border patrol chief, one weighed in, talked about what the agents were being attacked by caravan members. Now there is a bunch of caravans, not just one. Here is what he said about what was needed, what he saw. The caravan showed its propensity for violence once again. They decided to assault Border Patrol agents with a hail of rocks. Our agents responded with the least amount of force they possibly could to protect themselves on the border. Steve was just mentioned, some of those migrants were presumed to be part of the caravan. Meanwhile new York Governor Andrew Cuomo was sworn in as third term as governor yesterday, on ellis island, as you know historically millions of immigrants came into this country legally, all right . President trump is all about Legal Immigration policies and yet, that is what andrew cuomo took a shot at yesterday. New york will move forward, not by building a wall, my friends but by building new bridges. Let new york say, that the federal government may shut itself down but it will never extinguish the statue of libertys torch. It will never erase the words of her poem, they will never close our harbor. They will never close our hearts. They will never close this hall of dreamers. Brian right. At ellis island. Ainsley sounds like running for president. Brian big difference referring to statue of liberty and ellis island, legal immigrants came here to sign in, to see if they could get in. Doing it the legal way. His whole analogy is wrong because nobody is antiimmigrant that i know of. Theyre antiillegal immigrant. The whole question is without sincerity. Andrew cuomo said he is not running for president , i swear. He will make this the most progressive state in the union. Fantastic. Steve pardoned 22 immigrants facing deportation because of drug convictions. Seven others he pardoned, four convicted murders three others convicted of armed robbery. He said they are rehabilitated. They can be free. Ainsley he said quote these actions will help keep immigrant families together. We interviewed an angel mom. She said she wants the wall. She wants the president to get the funding. She said she wants to keep American Families together because she lost her son. Brian they have to do comprehensive. Quicker way to become citizens in this country. Quicker way to expedite the green card process. Quicker way for working visas. It is all needed. They can fix it. Everyone is too dug in, running for election or president to get something done. It is unbelievable what is happening. Steve unified government with republicans in charge in the senate, house and white house. They couldnt do anything. Now we have divided government. Brian the president shouldnt have walked away from 25 billion in the wall and in exchange for daca. You take that deal in a seek. Steve he made it clear he wanted four pillars and other things. Chuck schumer said no. Thats why were here. Brian we have no pillars. Jillian we continue to follow the news we brought you this last hour. Fox news alert, washington governor jay ends lee running for president. He is coming into a expected crowded field. He is trump critic. He served 10 years in congress before being elected governor in 2012. An american accused of spying in russia. We made clear to the russians our expectations that detention is not appropriate. We will demand his speedy return. Jillian whelan was charged in russia for espionage. Im sure my brother is not a spy. I cant imagine him getting sideways of the law in russia or getting anywhere close to breaking espionage act. Jillian he was in russia for a wedding. Athletic referee, jumps into action, a stray balloon floating offer field. People on twitter praising him for very fine moves. The Ohio State Buckeyes were the real winners. Beating washington huskies, 28 23. Bevo charging ugga after breaking out of its pen. That is scary situation. Brian knew to run from a bigger animal. Steve dogs raised in the wild . Brian bulldogses find them across the prairie. ] [brazier] ainsley i love bulldogs, they are like pugs. They snore at note. Brian they have no noses. Ainsley they have noses, brian. Brian big nostrils. No nose. Steve well shift gears. What will congressman elect and former Navy Seal Dan Crenshaw do to get tougher Border Security . Ainsley a woman pulled from a car sinking down in the mud with seconds to save her life. This is our contract with our military. That when you go to serve your country, when you give your kid as kiss goodbye, and you do not come home, we are going to give them a mortgagefree home. There are 7,000 servicemembers killed protecting our country since 9 11. Ainsley today President Trump inviting leaders from both parties for an 11th hour border briefing. This as a violent mob of migrants kick off 2019 by storming the southern border once again. Brian what needs to happen to fix the crisis at the border i ask . Former navy seal texas congressman elect, takes office this week. Dan, youre in a border state. Is a wall medieval or effective . It is crucial part of Border Security. I spent a whole career infiltrating places, when we come up on a wall it matters. We have to plan around it. It is mitigating factor when you want to cross from point a to point b. That typical argument we hear from democrats, doesnt make sense, too expensive, mead medieval, like to hear reasoning behind that. 1 of our entire federal budget. 1 , that is what five billion dollars. It is not about the money for them. We know the president and mike pence, they offered about 2 1 2 billion as well, so theyre trying to meet halfway. Democrats are refusing to budge on this for them it is about semantics, they hate the word wall. They just hate it, right . For some reason dont value this idea of Border Security. Dont value the sanctity of our borders. That is really problematic especially for ard bother state like texas. Were on the front lines out there. Ainsley the president tweeted out, lets make a deal. He invited both sides to come to the white house. He wants to negotiate. Do you think democrats will budge at all . What do you anticipate the future will look like . It is hard to say at this point honestly. Again, i dont know what their reasoning is. I hope they do. We showed willingness to negotiate on this, but again we always have to question, what is the underlying reason here . I think what they want to do is score points against the president. They made a Campaign Promise and score points against him by destroying that Campaign Promise, but at the expense of our security. We saw the my grant caravan last night. You know what stopped them . A wall. Not even a good wall. Once somebody crosses that border, this is about 400,000 people a year being apprehended. 400,000. That is not a low number. So that many people is inundating our Education System is, our health care system, our law and courts. You need a physical barrier in certain areas. Brian you sure you want to do this . This is all politics, not effective. Youre used of getting to a mission and getting it done. It is out of your control. You set out resolutions you put out. We want you to expand that, unfortunately the wall dominated this segment. Ainsley bo to twitter page, to read his resolutions in the new year. God bless you. Thanks for serving our country. Former navy seal. Now congressmanelect. Brian straight ahead the Trump Administration cracking down on food stamps, increasing work requirements. Media claims it is punishing the poor. Ou but our next guest something all americans want. Of the season. The queen sleep number 360 c4 smart bed is only 1299. Ends sunday. Whoooo. Did you know the exact same hotel room. Can have many different prices . Thats why tripadvisor searches over 200 booking sites to find the lowest price on the hotel you want. Your Perfect Hotel room for the perfect price brian im reading quick headlines. Hopefully they will be different stories. Utah has the strictest dui law in the country. No one has been arrested. This week the state officially lowered drinking limit of alcohol content to. 0. 5. Did i read that right . 05. Previous limit was. 08. Instead of choosing male and female in new york city, they can choose gender x. Chan choose x for newborn babies. California, oregon, washington, you can do this. Gender neutral option on birth certificates. Thats great. Meanwhile, now to you two. Ainsley thank you, one man. President trump making moves to overhaul the nations Food Stamp Program by tightening work requirements for recipients. Millions of ablebodied working age adults continue to collect food stamps without working or even looking for work. Our goal is to move the americans from dependence to independence and into a goodpaying job and rewarding career. Steve but some critics in the media say this is punishing the poor, making it harder for poorest americans to buy food. Even saying trumps white male supporters may lose their food stamps. Here to weigh in founder, president of center for urban renewal and education, our friend star parker. Happy new year to you. Happy new year. Steve to go what is the administration doing by cracking down on number of people who get these snap cards . Opening up excitement what is happening in our economy to those on the lower end. What were asking for, ablebodied, no dependents to participate. This is a great economy. I know it is in vogue for everyone to hate the president but he is is doing some Amazing Things for the poor and this is one of those things to say, hey, well give you a little nudge, a little help. Lets open up the economy in your own life so you can prosper. Ainsley what are the changes exactly . Well the changes are since congress didnt have the backbone to put in work requirements into the farm bill, the president is now using the Agriculture Department to say why shouldnt we allow for states to put these, these opportunities in place for those that are receiving food stamps . What is happening right now the states are asking for waivers so those that are not participating or just getting food stamps, not working, the states are opting out of what should be occurring here in america. So what Trump Administration is saying in, lets have them participate states. The economy is good in your states. Stop pretending we dont have a problem with people just not participating. The crisis is not the poor. Let me make this point. The crisis is not the poor. The crisis here are ablebodied, nonworking, mostly males, because theyre disconnected from family and were rewarding this behavior. So the Trump Administration is trying to correct that, so everybody participates. Ainsley so theyre saying if you, if youre able to work, well give you food stamps or snap program for three months. Then you have to go get a job, right . You could say it like that. Yes, you may already be on the Food Stamp Program. You have three months to go out to try to participate in the workforce. Not that work is not available in these various states. Steve star, explain the dynamic . During the obama years the number of people on this kind of assistance was substantially higher than it is now im given to believe. Why have some people, why are so many people no longer on the program . Because economy is doing well. Remember, that what happened with the snap program, if you go back, even to the bush administration, prior to president bush, there were like food stamps. They had the stigma about them, so people wouldnt want to be on even if they qualify. Now like ebt swipe card, its a debit card. Take the shame. Next thing you know you have economic crash. During the time of obama there were many, many more americans. Remember, most of our safety net programs are for you to get back on your feet. Steve short term. Short term. Not generational. What the Trump Administration saying, come on guys, the economy is doing good. Why are you sitting around . Ai has done extensive study theyre calling them are watchers. Theyre not working. Theyre not working the watching porn, watching tv, but theyre not working this. Is what this initiative is attempting to do, so they can get back into their own lives to prosper. Ainsley not hurt them. Make themselves sufficient to make them help society and help themselves. Help themselves. Thank you, star. Happy new year. We will here in washington, d. C. Ainsley yes, you will. Steve speaking of washington, President Trump tweeted moments ago about mitt romney after the incoming snort senator slammed the president in an oped. Ainsley get ready for a west reboot. Kanye west is back into politics. Hugging him at 12 56 . Brian i have to explain. We showed pictures of everybodys new yeast eve and vacation. This is where you spent my new years eve. A year ago that house was burned to the ground. In one year they were able to get the whole house rebuilt. Ive known mike and debbie since 8th grade. Well do that. Well host a new years eve party. Ainsley how did the house burn down . Brian one of the things happened. Caught fire in the garage. Everything was gone. They redid it. Steve knows he can do that too. Steve i cant build a house. Ainsley who is next to you on the end . Steve in new york. Brian that is in new york. He is right behind the guy in the red. That is mike. Ainsley guy in the red, very back . Brian very back. Behind joe. He is in the red. Ainsley girl in front of him looks like mary doocy. Was she at party . Brian debbie is had is wife in front. Ainsley god bless them. Steve asked for your photos. Celebrated new years eve with a onesies theme party. Ainsley everyone participated except one on the right. That is cute. Andy, alex, ended the year saying i do. Best wishes to you. Steve keep sending pictures. We post them online. Newt gingrich joins us from washington, d. C. Area. Where were you on d. C. . In key biscayne with our children and grandchildren. It was terrific. About 80 degrees. We suffered through being on the ocean like that. Ainsley suffered through. That is a great picture. That is your Beautiful Life calista. The ambassador. Brian do you call her that . She was in a nonambassadorial role. Great fun. Steve talk about what is going on. Well talk about the shutdown. Moments ago the president tweeted this out regarding mitt romney. He wrote, here we go with mitt romney, but so fast. Question, is, will he be a flake . I hope not. Would much prefer that mitt focus on Border Security, so many other things where he can be helpful. I won big and he didnt. He should be happy for all republicans and be a team player and win. What he is talking about, there was an oped in the Washington Post where mitt romney said donald trump was not his choice for president. Hoped he would change if he got the nomination. He did not. That he has not risen to the occasion of being president. What say you about what is going on between these Top Republicans . Well, well, mitt romney is freshman senator. Im not sure, only Top Republican because he was once the nominee and lost. 80 or 85 of the Party Supports trump. Im not sure where mitt romney is trying to accomplish. It is kind of sad. As a freshman he could have come in, written as former governor of massachusetts his views on Elizabeth Warren, running for office. He could have written about the shutdown and offered an idea such as combining help for the dreamers with building the wall and securing the border. He could have written about things he knows a great deal about. Why he would pick his very First Venture to be an attack on the republican president , you would have to ask romney. I cant figure out what he thought strategically, why he thought that was helpful to him. Makes him as the president pointed out, makes him like he wants to rush into being minority of the Republican Party. Ainsley what is happening between those two . You have a lot of friends in washington. You probably hear things we dont all necessarily hear . What is happening . Theyre eating dinner and shaking hands . First of all, look, first of all i competed with mitt and lost in 2012. I give him a lot of credit. He ran, he was a very, very competitive guy. I think romney has always wanted to be president. I would think he would like to be president now. Stylistically theyre so different that i suspect every morning romney gets up he gets angry just because trump is so different than he is. From romneys own standpoint i dont understand strategically why you would try to carve out being the antitrump before you even are sworn in as a freshman . I think it is important for romney and he will learn this in the senate, the senate doesnt care who you used to be. The senators are not going to go, we owe you a lot of extra room because you were once the republican nominee. He is a freshman senator. He needs to learn how the senate works. Ideally because he is a very smart guy he will focus on actually solving problems, not just getting involved in a game with trump. He will just plain lose. You cant take trump on inside his own possible. Not possible. Brian newt, another area youre expertise has, somehow healing idealogical rifts. You have to somehow come to a deal here. This is unique impasse. Of the republicans signed something. President pushed back. They reconfigured, rejiggered. Democrats have two ideas. Republicans have a different idea. How does day 12 of this shutdown showdown end . Well, look it, my advice to republicans is really simple. Buy ads in every single Spanish Language media in the country, pointing out the president and republicans are trying to get a deal that includes legality for the dreamers and that the democrats care more about hating trump than they care about helping 700,000 young people who deserve a chance, who came here as very, very young children. The country overwhelmingly wants to help them. I think it would be hard for nancy pelosi to stand up for very long if the republicans would be aggressive in pushing this issue. It is a very sound compromise to say, give us security on the southern border, take care of legalizing the dreamers, it is a winwin proposition. I know Lindsey Graham has been working very hard on it. And i think, somewhere around there you can get to a deal. But if pelosi wants to prove how tough she is keeping the government closed for six, eight, 10 weeks, she has the power to do that. It will be interesting to see whether or not they really live that up. The democrats are not naturally party of closing the government because theyre naturally the party of government unions. Theyre very cross pressured. Steve we heard apparently the president s invitation to the leaders, the meeting will take place in the white house in the situation room. And it sounds as if everybody who goes in has to surrender the cell phone, that is the situation room. And will anything happen . Will the democrats even show up . Well know tomorrow. Newt, thank you very much for joining us live today. Thank you, good to be with you. Brian but horror show on our border bolsters the president s case through no effort of his own. Look what is happening at border, they know the president is not with hyperbole. We need action. Maybe they show it from the situation room. They can dial up satellites and drones and video from yesterday, rather new years eve. Stay tuned. Brian or just watch netflix. Were not sure. Steve they could. Doubt it. Jillian good morning a suspected cop killer and illegal immigrant will face a judge today. Gustavo Perez Arriaga is accused of shooting corporal singh.
