Are not people who love this country. Its possible that Jussi Smollett may stop cooperating with police and police could seek an arrest warrant by taking the case to grand jury. Monster winter storm today nearly 1,000 flights already cancelled. Im top of the world steve i dont know about on top of the world but we are here on top of the studio. Brian imagine dragons and hundreds of people. Steve we know a lot of the country today is having cloudsy weather on this wednesday. Thank you so much for starting it with us. Ainsley janice is going to tell us all about it flights have been cancelled already and we will give you details. Our top story this morning the Washington Post being sued by Nick Sandmann and his family and lawyers the guy from the Covington Catholic school for 250 million. Steve thats right. Our first two stories this morning first about the covington situation and then about Jussi Smollett out in chicago essentially in the rush to judgment the Mainstream Media apparently got a couple of stories really wrong. Remember, the early video showed and the story was that that young man in the maga cap was mocking the native american who marched up to him as we learned later. According to the lawsuit, they are the post targeted him and bullied him because he was the White Catholic High School Student wearing the maga cap on that field trip on january 18th. Brian the lawyer gave everybody time to apologize and retract people like that condemned him and others. Many did. The post didnt. This is what sam is saying against the post and the reason for him going forward. The post ignored basic journalistic standards because it wanted to advance a wellknown and easily documented biased agenda against President Trump. The post bull idea an innocent child absolute disregard for the pain and destruction its attacks would cause to his life and i imagine he is still experiencing today. Ainsley they say the post must be dealt with the same way every bully is dealt with that is hold the bully fully accountable for its wrongdoing. We need to teach the post a lesson that it will never forget and the amount 250 million is because thats the amount that jeff bezos paid for the paper, the richest man in america, for the post when his company, Nash Holdings purchased the newspaper in 2013. Steve this certainly is going to get their attention. The paper has put out a statement and they say reviewing a copy the lawsuit, and we plan to mount a vigorous defense. Now. Brian good job. There is a loft video to back up with the kid did. How many angles do we see five to 10. Steve the lawyers put together about a 15minute video its all together and it tells a story like we have never seen before. Now, you might wonder why are they going after the Washington Post first . Well, you know, jeff bezos is the richest guyed in the world and they have a beef with him, the covington school. Ainsley they said specifically because of the newspaper said quote that he accosted phillips. Swarming him and intimidating. Blocked phillips path refused to allow him to retreat. Taunting and indigenous crowd engaged in improper conduct. Steve there is a list of 50 other media figures and celebrities and Media Outlets and reporters and politicians who may be served with lawsuits. Youve got to figure that they are probably going after the post because its owned by the guy with the most money in the United States. And obviously, this is getting a lot of attention on this wednesday morning. Brian by the way the people who started the hostility black israelites seem to be getting a total pass if you see some of the things they said to start the baiting against these kids because they happen to be kids and white is inexciewivelg. I dont know why we are just allowing this to happen. If you walk on a Street Corner on 42 or 44th you see the guys screaming at you all the time. Steve rush to judgment to get the story out and somebody got it wrong. Thats the case in this story, too. Ainsley you mentioned that story and you mentioned another story we are covering Jussi Smollett story. The empire actor could soon be handed an arrest warrant. Thats the latest twist in the investigation into the alleged hate crime attack on smollett. Steve matt finn is live in chicago with new information about the actors criminal record wait, he has a criminal record, matt . Yes. Actually documents obtained by fox news indicate that smollett was convicted of a 2007 dui in los angeles in which he did plead no condition test to giving false information to police. Here in chicago its becoming increasingly apparent that Chicago Police are trying to get a portion of this current case in front of a brand jury. Whether thats to obtain a subpoena or some type of warrant. Fox news has learned that the two brothers were set to have their testimony locked in before a grand jury but that did not happen. Two sources tell us smolletts legal Team Provided some type of information that paused the grand jury process. And this morning Chicago Police are still waiting for Jussi Smollett to respond to their request for a followup interview since this story took a dramatic turn. Smolletts crisis manager says he did not talk to police on monday and did not talk to them yet again on tuesday. Also on tuesday, cook countys states attorneys kim fox recused herself from this case. Statements say she might personally know some of the witnesses too well. Police say they investigated a tip yesterday that the brothers were seen inside of smolletts building on the night of the alleged attack but they ruled that tip unfounded. Brian, ainsley, steve. Steve mr. Finn, thank you very much. Apparently according to cbs chicago, theyre say that the brothers have told the police that in addition to staging the attack where he paid 3,500 to them and said okay, when you come back, i will give you another 500. Apparently they told out police that jussi was involved in creating that racist letter, too. And ultimately he became disappointed it didnt make a bigger splash. So then thats when they decided you know what . Lets do something else. Lets fake this attack. Ainsley there are reports that say that he made that whole letter. And then sent it to himself where he was working on set. And so they are investigating that. They are going to the Postal Service. The fbi, you know, is looking into that. Brian federal case and local case and think about all the man hours and all the other crimes in chicago they could have been working on. Meanwhile 7 minutes after the hour another fbi guy disgraced major book tour and getting himself in trouble in the process. Reminds me of james comey. You cant agree with what james comey is saying and agree with Andrew Mccabe. You cant agree with james baker and james comey and Andrew Mccabe. Yesterday one of the stops wasview. Another stop was cnn as he continues a tact president while his story doesnt add up. He doesnt seem to be able to remember why he was unable to tell the truth three times to the Inspector General. He doesnt steam remember about an Insurance Plan when he went with peter strzok and ladies and gentlemen. He remembers exactly his interactions with the president. Watch. Do you still believe the president could be a russian asset . I think its possible. I think thats why we started our investigation. Is there anything in the last year that makes you less suspicious of the president . No. [laughter] did i answer too quickly . No. He said that conversation about the 25th amendment did not represent a potential coup. He said it was not very coupe, that conversation. Steve he also didnt put it in his book. Something everybody was talking about was not actually put into the book. Keep in mind, the Inspector General, the guy who looxz over the entire department of justice, he is the guy who said you have got to 2350eur this guy because he broke all the rules. Trey gowdy former chairman of the House Oversight committee took a look at what he implied that the russian that the president could be a russian asset and said this on the martha show last night. If thinking that jim comey is not a good fbi director is tantamount to being an agent of russia. List all the agents of russia, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, Rod Rosenstein who wrote the memo getting rid of comey. Michael horowitz the Inspector General. He gets rid of comey, replaces him with a comey ache light who not only continuals the probe but expands it. So if his goal was to obstruct a russia investigation. Gosh, he did a terrible job. Brian very interesting and very sarcastic. I get it other thing he brought up on march thats show so interesting when i through out i was so concerned about being asset of russia i launched a counterintelligence investigation and i briefed the gang c of 8. We never heard anything about that. Did they express any concern . Nobody looked to stop me. Thats just the thing. He came ton say because devin nunes and others, they are not allowed to talk about what the fbi briefs them with. So they cant even come back and say he never briefed me. Did brief me. I was concerned, i wasnt concerned. He wanted to Say Something that cant be challenged. Ainsley he was accused of being the source for the New York Times he told Meghan Mccain yesterday i was not the source. Thats why he got fired. Brian this was the most telling. He called in to fray the Inspector General. He says the Inspector General might when he came out and said i lied three times. He might have been pressured by Jeff Sessions because president was will. The Inspector General was appointed by barack obama. He has never met the president of the United States. This is the first time we can remember an Inspector Generals integrity being called out by mr. Law and order andy mccabe. Steve he is out there trying to officially sell his book that came out yesterday. Its embarrassing for him to be fired by the fbi. Whats he doing you . Noe that Inspector General thing . Im considering suing them to get my job back. Clear his name. What do you think . Email us, friends foxnews. Com. All right. Ainsley meanwhile we have headlines and jillian is over there in her pretty yellow dress. Jillian and your hair cut looks fantastic. Gentlemen, you always look great. Get you cottrell up on fox news alert we are following for you. Police officer is fighting for his life after getting stabbed in the neck. Started road rage incident that spilled over into a parking lot in mississippi. Offduty officer shooting and killing the other driver after he was attacked with a knife.

Rosen is currently the deputy transportation secretary. He previously served as general counsel for the department. He was a partner at a chicagobased law firm with attorney general william barr. Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein is expected to step down next month. President trump wants california to give back billions from failed bullet train project. Democrat governor nasm calls the threat political retribution for lawsuit over the emergency declaration. Newsom saying in part this is california wants money and we are going to fight for it the white house is exploring every legal option to get back the 2. 5 billion from the project. How about this . A man aitems to make snow shoveling funnel by turning it into art. Robert greenfield recreating one of the worlds most famous paintings the mona lisa in ice ice rink in tore robert toe, canada. The artist sharing the time laps video. This is not exactly a masterpiece but i present the snoa lisa. It also be placed in the egg glube. Thats very punny. Yes, it is. Ainsley you wait when it line forever and run in and see it run in and its teeny tiny. Steve however, not created with a hockey stick. Ainsley no. Brian am i the only one that didnt like the mona lisa . Jillian it was very small. Ainsley we watched it like it was a movie. Brian Bernie Sanders is officially back in the race. It . Is time to complete that revolution and implement the vision that we fought for. Brian so is the president feeling the bern . Kind of . We will show you next.

Helping you buy better. Brian democratic socialist Bernie Sanders has officially entered the 2020 race. President trump was quick to respond. I think he missed his time. What happened to bernie maybe was not so nice. I think he was taken advantage of. He ran great four years ago, and he was not treated with respect by clinton. You have got a lot of people running, but only one person is going to win. I hope you know who that person is. Brian what will be different this time around . Lets ask Senior Advisor to the Bernie Sanders campaign then and now chuck rocha. Have you big news how his announcement was received. It was amazing ground swell of support last night. I have never seen anything like it. I have been doing campaigns for 29 years. We raised over 4 million last night from hundreds of thousands of individual donors. I have talked about the problem of money in politics and fat cats on wall street having way too much control. When you start empowering regular people all across the country and they are giving you 5, 10, 20. Its a big shot in the arm and boost to if i campaign. Bernie sanders has capitalized on that and it shows his message works. Brian you had a much different field. Nobody cared about governor omalley. Nobody cared about Lincoln Chafee and he had incumbent that was just basically looking to walk through in Hillary Clinton. You already got eight opponents already,ible of which have the same policies and they are a lot younger than your guy. What makes your guy different . So, i think i would remind all of your viewers exactly how donald trump won the republican nomination when we had debates junior debates and field debates. Were going to have the same issue on the democratic side so that means that the vote is going to be split 10 ways 15 ways. 20 ways. Guess which candidate has the core base of support that follows him and i just explained to you that we raised 4 million in 24 hours or more. Thats the biggest difference because all the votes are going to be split up in so many different ways. What is the perfect model to run on venezuela or cuba . I think fdr is the best model. They called fdr a socialist for creating social security. Yes, brian, i realize we were in a depression but called lyndon b. Johnson a socialist for creating medicare. We want to empower people and not wall street. I think people and i give donald trump some credit on this. He spoke to people. He thought that people would believe him that he would actually change things. Bernie sanders is that person who is out there with that message. Brian chuck, he is not even a democrat . He has his own reprisal to the president s state of the Union Address. He doesnt even march within those circles. Why is the party even letting him in . You have a great point. You know, he did a state of the union himself to just people who subscribe to his Facebook Page and people made all of this big brouhaha it was after Stacey Abrams who we respect immensely. Bernie sanders is a democratic socialist and he has been caucusing with the democrats in the senate for years. Brian all right. I guess we have to go. A lot to discuss a lot of spending and a lot of give aways and a lot of taxes are going up. But people are responding on the left. Chuck rocha i look forward to seeing you and that hat again soon. Thank you, brian. Brian supporters. People who want the wall are not patriots. They are not people who love this country. Brian all right. Tomi lahren fired up about this. She is thought los angeles, too. She will join us. A big deal. Thats why theres otezla. Otezla is not an injection or a cream. Its a pill that treats differently.

Its a now theres one store that connects your life like never before store. The xfinity store is here. And its simple, easy, awesome. Brian some quick headlines. I got here just in time. The state department making position on foreign fighters clear as an alabama mom turned isis wife pleads to come home. The spokesperson would not address the american womans case specifically but says terrorists should be returned to their home countries to be prosecuted and to prevent them from returning to the battle field. And there she is. She has a kid. And the mother of a man beheaded by isis is demanding that the american isis bride face justice. Diane folly says she needs to be held accountable. Listen. Hoda and the man thousands of others isis fighters who have promoted terrorism need to be held accountable. Brian absolutely. Ainsley, steve . Steve the media are getting fired fbi director andy mccabe a platform to attack the current president. We were all operating under incredible stress. We were all grappling with this idea that we have a president who we think may have committed obstruction of justice. That the president himself might in fact be a threat to the United States national security. You know, i was experiencing in the oval office some of those same things that i had seen happen on the streets, right . I had seen the relationship between the leader of the organization and those around him who carry out the rules. Ainsley while mccabe defends the possible illegal behavior in the fbi and the doj the New York Times is calling out the president for a, quote, secret assault on the machinery of federal law enforcement. Here to react is former president ial writer for george w. Bush ned ryun. Good to see you. Good to be with you guys. Ainsley the New York Times is all in on this. Is it unusual for the president . He is defending himself against these attacks and these investigations. Well, first of all, ainsley i have to point out how many have decided to give aid and comfort to the enemies of this administration and literally just be a pop granda machine for the deep state. But they claim its unusual for trump to be attacking the investigations. I will tell you whats unusual is the fact that we spun up the surveillance state and counterintelligence operation against a sitting president of the United States based off a fake dossier. Other thing thats striking you see Andrew Mccabe with book tour how bifurcated our legal system has become under these guys. Cohen, flynn, stone papadopoulos were all lying to federal investigators. Andrew mccabe lied full mel times he gets to kick start book tour its insane. Steve trying to sue the department of justice unjustly fired from his job for lying and leaking. But then, i know, its been so delicious in listening over the last couple days to mr. Mccabe, ned, just to hear him talk about i would never leak in not authorized by my job. Remember how james comey kept those documents so he could get to his friend the lawyer who became support of his Legal Defense team so they could give them to the New York Times and start the investigation with the special prosecutor. Again, this is incredible, steve, when you think about this whole investigation was spun up on a hoax, a lie, illegal leaks. The fake dossier. Its the foundation. Only in washington, d. C. With the propaganda Mainstream Media would any of this make sense. In the real world, you know, i look at a lot of this stuff i think the clintons and dnc facilitated a Russian Misinformation Campaign when you look at bruce ohrs testimony, Christopher Steeles main source was exrussian Intelligence Officer and fusion gps was working for the family of a Russian Oligarch in the summer of 2016. This is insane and mind mummingly stupid. The thing thats really concerning to meet doj and fbi are supposed to be guardians of the rule of law this and is one of the basic foundations of our republic. I think they have made a mockery of it and equal application of law. And that has some really serious implications for us moving forward. Ainsley they are not supposed to be leaking to reporters and thats exactly why he got fired and that came down from the Inspector General he defended himself yesterday on the view. Meghan mccain a lot of people on social media are saying kudos for Meghan Mccain for not holding back. Watch this exchange. I would like you to say right here on national tv that you are not a source for the New York Times. You were never a source for the New York Times or any other publication considering thats what you are accused of lying about. Basically were you ever a leaker to the New York Times. Absolutely not. No, not in any time ever. Then why did james comey deny the claim that he approved your leak to the press. I dont know why jim comey doesnt remember the conversations we had in the same way i do. Ainsley ned . Is he a known liar. This is why michael horowitz, Inspector General, recommended criminal prosecution against Andrew Mccabe. I will say this last thing. Wait until you see the fisa report that horowitz is going to release, i think in april, about the fisa abuse is based off the fake dossier in which mccabe was also heavily involved. We have a lot to really discuss and get to the bottom of what actually happened the last couple years. Steve lets hope they are trying to get to the bottom of it because we would all like some answers. Ned ryun, thank you very much for joining us live. Ainsley thank you. Thanks, guys. Steve new york senator Kristin Gillibrand tried connecting with voters in iowa. One person just not so interested. In the grassroots. Sorry, im going to get some ranch. [laughter] look. Somebody needed some salad dressing. Campaign moment now going viral. It is good. Tomi lahren went down to the border to get the wall. We are going to ask her live coming up next.

That you will thing about seeking asylum, doesnt want people coming to the border. Why would you eliminate that possibility for your case to be adjudicated in country . Its about xenophobe i cant. Xenophobe i cant. Lets bring in tomi lahren host of fox nation. Good morning, tomi. Oh, good morning. Guys. I never get tired of hearing the democrats tell us how hurtful and immoral protecting the border senator is senator Maxine Waters saying if you are want the wall you are not patriots. They are not patriots. They are not people who love this country. They are not people who stand up on whats right. Brian great speech. [laughter] well mad maxine wouldnt know patriotism if it came up and bit her square on the behind. What can be more patriotic than protecting and securing the border nothing . People like Maxine Waters, noips, Kamala Harris do a lot of talking about the wall and immorality of the wall. What they still havent explained is how they know more about Border Security than the Border Patrol agents who protect our country for a living. They still havent explained that to us. Steve of course, dont forget before the big vote in washington they say we have got to hear from all the experts. We have to hear what the experts say about a wall. The experts came out and said we really need a wall. That was then and this is now. This is not hypothetical to you, tomi, you just returned from a wall five part series on foxnation. Com. Right . Absolutely. You know, i had the opportunity to visit both arizona and san diego and its a part of keep america safe month on fox nation. Like you said a five part series. Heres a little taste of what you are going to see on fax nation from my trip to the border. Have you ever climbed a 31foot ladder and looked down in the average human being starts getting a little squeezy at about 18 feet. They just dont want to any higher and it takes energy. Even if they build a 31foot ladder the time it takes to go up and then come back down slows them down. That gives my agents a chance to respond. And that person just exerted a lot of energy. They are slower than they were before which makes them easier to catch. Steve higher equals slower. Well, yeah. That was san diego sector chief rodney scott ohio spent quite a bit of time with he is really the expert on Border Security and border enforcement. We took a tour of the wall prototypes while i was n. San diego. We talked about the need for the wall. A need for the steel slats that President Trump has often referred to. They said time and time again we need a wall and physical barrier. Slows people down and allows them to reallocate their sources elsewhere and put more eyes on everything. And thats why we need it. They say we need it. Wimax seen waters and nancy pelosi thinks they know better than someone like chief rodney scott really baffles me. Brian its totally insincere they voted for it in the past. Democrats voted for it and you saw it your series shows the areas, the barriers and the openings. It eliminates the opinion and you get the facts. I also think when you have a wall or a barrier, old and young people cant get over it and the others will be spotted because theyre at least delayed. Its just logic. Well, of course its logic and it makes all the sense in the world. We hear a lot of democrats talking about just putting technology. Technology is great. As the Border Agents i spoke with told me yeah we can put cameras and things if we cant slow people down just getting them on video isnt that helpful. A physical barrier is what they need and want. This is what we should give them. This isnt Donald Trumps wall this is americas wall. They are building in mcallen texas last week. 22 miles from 2017 thats just being built now. Tomi, thanks so much. Your series on fox nation is great. Thanks so much. I hope everyone will watch it keep america safe month on fox nation. Steve thank you very much. Ainsley that agent she interviewed brought up a good point. You dont think about that. Thats three stories tall that you have to climb pretty scary. Steve be tolike to the top of this studio. Brian i wasnt good at climbing the ropes in gym. I would not be good at climbing the steel slats on the border. Jillian would though. Jillian ainsley and i proved in one those things we did outside we cannot climb. Ainsley you get to the top and your heart is racing. Jillian if you get to the top. Yes, exactly. Get you caught up on some of the news we are following starting with. This president obamas proposed president ial library faces a proposed legal threat. A federal judge is allowing a lawt against the 500milliondollar museum to move forward in chicago. A Parks Advocacy Group wants the court to stop the facility from being built on public land. The center was slated to open in 2021 hasnt yet Broken Ground because of the ongoing litigation. And a Vital Campaign moment, democratic president ial candidate Kirsten Gillibrand gets interrupted by someone who just wants some ranch dressing. And the grassroots care about. Sorry. Im just going to get some ranch. Go ahead. [laughter] who doesnt love some ranch. Iowa cleaning student said she had no interest in talking politics during gillibrands stop in the Hawkeye State adding she goes there each week for bible study. Searching for vandals to spray painted me too on world war ii statue. Represently indicates the famous photograph of a sailor kiss ago nurse on happening two days after the veteran in that photo passed away. The spray paint has since been removed. Paddle boarders are completely shocked by visitors. Take a look at this video. Oh my god. [screams] oh. Oh. Oh my god. Jillian thats scary but also really cool. Three humpback whales making a splash off the coast of hawaii. A lucky group of friends just yards away for a show that they will never forget. Brian i would like to see where the land is however were they out . Steve those whale watching tours they go way out. Ainsley so majestic. Imagine swimming when a giant whale comes up next to you. Brian ever since i read moby dick im afraid. Ainsley or the bible. Brian or the bible. Steve i dont think it was a documentary. Meanwhile, if you look out the window, there was a chance you see extreme weather. Steve individual grow outside of washington, d. C. This morning. By the way federal government already cancelled. Cancelled it last night. Brian more than 1100 flights already cancelled. Janice dean is tracking the storm because we asked her to. Janice i am going to change coats because im not dressed appropriately. Next hour you will see me in a giant puffy coat. Snow . New york city. 17 in buffalo. 28 in chicago. You can see where you have that cold air in place. Then its going to be a transition over parts of the midatlantic and the northeast over the next several hours to a wintry mix. And that means the potential for ice and then all rain as we go into the overnight hours. Freezing rain being reported in columbus. We have light snow in pittsburgh. Light snow in the d. C. Area it is cloudy in philadelphia and new york but the snow is on the way. There is your forecast temperature radar. D. C. Transition into icy mix.

Tell us about the virginia Green New Deal. Well, what they want to do is they want to take this solar power project that as you said is literally half the size of manhattan and they want to dump it on a rural virginia town. And you are sitting in the studio right now in manhattan. I dont need to tell you how large manhattan is. You navigate it every single day. And it obviously these people have some concerns. If this goes through, this is going to be the largest solar power project off the east coast and largest in the world. They have a number of concerns about this. Steve let me read the line from the oped. So its official Big Government liberals have made green into a one word oxymoron, any claim by these green dealers feigning concern about the environment is bogus, their bluff has been called. I see in the oped it says a group of residents in your neck of the woods is worried that electricity price could say actually go up which flies in the face of, wait a minute, its renewable, its just the sun. You would think it would be cheaper. Well, you would. And thats not just it. They also it is what i said about it being an oxymoron. Its not just electricity prices. They also have other environmental concerns. Already they have had thousands of acres of land cleared. Trees cut down. They are concerned about erosion happening. They are concerned about toxic chemicals if this gets going. They are concerned about potential for fires. If this gets to put it in perspective. If this goes into effect this will be within 50 feet of peoples homes. On over 6,000 acres of land. 2,000 of which they cant even put solar panels on because there are streams and wet lands running through it Virginia Department of equality has already said that these streams are endangered they have a lot of different concerns for the environment. Steve sure. Absolutely. And the area is steeped in American History as well and that is another one of your concerns. Right.

Ainsley a wounded veteran and teenage neighbor are teeming up to tackle their neighborhood snow and it is going viral. Brian there is a lot of snow there. Joining us there is iraq war veteran and Good Samaritan himself Sergeant Justin anderson and his neighbor noah triggs. Good morning, guys. Good morning, how are you doing . Brian sergeant, tell me why it was so important for you to hop in your track chair and help move some snow for your neighbors . You know, honestly, it was an opportunity brought by the Independence Fund, obviously, with them donating the chair to me. And i just figured, you know, my community has really supported me through some of my different struggles and why not give back. In some way, shape, or form. And i figured this was the best way to do so. Ainsley really sweet of you. Noah, how did you get involved . I saw him plowing the street and so i was like, you know, i might as well hop on my snow blower and help him out. Steve you know, justin, the sergeant was just talking about his struggles. He was wounded in iraq in 2003. His left leg was amputated in 2014. He had brain cancer in 2013. The Independence Fund did provide you with this amazing track chair. Sergeant the at what point did you realize i could put a blade on the front of a track chair and essentially turn my track chair into a snow moving machine . You know, i have always been very ingeneral knewive i guess is the best word to use. What would make life easier for me . I had mounted up my own blade to the chair. As a result of that action track chair, who made the chair that was donated to me actually came out with their snowplow system of their own. Steve thats great. The Independence Fund was gracious enough to do some upgrades to my chair and that new snow blade setup was one of them. Brian noah, whats it like having someone so inspirational in your neighborhood . He has been through your heart stop i understand, sergeant, after you got shot. Later you have your knee removed. Go through brain cancer. Whats it like having someone like him in your community . Its amazing. Always good to have positive reinforcement in the community. So its nice having him. Brian sergeant, what has it meant to you, this community . You know, honestly, i have a lot of admiration for noah. It really shows how a community can come together and how, you know, a Younger Generation and now i try not to use this too much but an older generation like myself can really, you know, come together and age doesnt matter. Its just a sense of that camaraderie of the military community and us being able to do this together. Ainsley sergeant, you are a good representation of the military. Noah, you are just precious. You are, i guess, a teenage boy. You are a wonderful person and you will grow up to be a spectacular individual because you have a great neighbor as an influence in your life. Thank you both for being with us. God bless you. Thank you for having us. Steve you bet. The track chair did change his life, obviously. If people would like to know more about the Independence Fund that provided it, their website, i believe is right there Independence Fund. Org. Guys, thank you very much. Have great day out there in omaha. You have a great day. Steve you betcha. Thank you, sir. Meanwhile straight ahead, the Bernie Sanders campaign feeling the return of the bern.

Com brian democratic socialist Bernie Sanders has officially entered the 2020 race and President Trump was quick to respond. I wish bernie well. What happened to Bernie Sanders four years ago was quite sad. We want to empower people. Bernie sanders is that person who is out there with that message. The Washington Post being sued by Nick Sandmann, the guy from Covington High School for 250 million. Chicago police are still waiting for Jussi Smolletts response becoming inceasely apparent trying to obtain a subpoena or warrant. Who want the wall are not patriots. What could be more patriots than protecting and securing the border . Mad maxine wouldnt know patriotism if it came up and bit her square on the behind. 7yearold boy is called little hitler for raising money for the border wall. Are you going to stop selling. Im not going to stop the stand until the wall is built. Rob 200 million americans feeling the effect of a monster storm. Nearlnear flights cancelled. Brian the white house is a little bit whiter this morning because of the snow. Steve and its going to be easy getting around washington, d. C. Today because the federal government called off business yesterday. They said there is a big storm coming so its going to be slippery and hazardous and the federal government said everybody should watch fox friends on wednesday morning. Ainsley how many of your two kids that live there have to work today . Steve both of them peter is covering the 2020 and my daughter is working from home she is telecommuting. Brian this feels like our home so we feel like we are working from home, too. Steve thats right. Brian Bernie Sanders says welcome me back into this race. Only difference i plan on winning it only thing different many other people and to his credit taking up his believe that everything should be paid for. Free preschool we heard Elizabeth Warren talking about that raising taxes. Single payer healthcare. Medicare for all. We hear Kamala Harris say get rid of private insurance. Lets just have single pair. Everybody is taking a little bit of Bernie Sanders. Cory booker wants to give you money for being born. This is the Bernie Sanders formula for success. Ainsley we were all reacting to it yesterday. The president reacted as well. Listen to this. Personally i think he missed his time. I wish bernie well. It will be interesting to see how he does. I think what happened to bernie maybe was not so nice. He was taken advantage of. He ran great four years ago and he was not treated with respect by clinton. And that was too bad. I thought what happened to Bernie Sanders four years ago was quite sad as it pertains to our country. So we will see how he does. Steve four years ago the system was rigged against bernie and for hillary. We all know that now. And so now what the democrats are trying to do is because Bernie Sanders was so effective and you look at the dialogue on the progressive side. Its a lot of what he has been talking about over the last four years. They are trying to outbernie bernie. When you look at alexandria ocasiocortezs Green New Deal. Which has been embraced by a lot of the progressives. You know, and Bernie Sanders likes many of the same things as well. Barney frank, very powerful former politician from the commonwealth of massachusetts says the problem is gril would be terrible for the democrats. I think the Green New Deal would be a loser. I do not think that people are going to be advocating that whole package. Theres an argument that you dont destabilize a society by doing too much change at once. And i dont think and partly weave people who are skeptical of government. People like me who do want to expand the government in some areas need to understand that we have to show how that works. You have to do it in pieces as you show it has worked. Brian couple things to Bernie Sanders credit he made 4 million in one day according to rocha. Fundraising Kamala Harris, everyone is lauding foreher her start. This goes way past her. Im very curious to see what Bernie Sanders is going to be like when he starts having real pontsd who hit him and say have you accomplished nothing legislatively in your entire career. You are not really a democrat. You are using our apparatus. You seem to be contradicting a lot of leadership and i think when he has people hitting him and its not donald trump, i think he is going to realize its a brand new year. Ainsley everything is proposing is going to bankrupt the government. How are we going to pay for all of this . Strife steve that is it. There is Division Form not guilty Democratic Party. Moderate democrats like Amy Klobuchar and Sherrod Brown who say, look, all these other democrats are for healthcare for all. We cant do that its god to be incremental just like barney frank. Ainsley i would love to wave a magic wand and give everyone four years of. I support two years of Community College unfortunately we cant afford to do four years. Brian Elizabeth Warren wealth tax and give free preschool. I would like to admit something on television i never went to preschool. Ainsley you didnt . You started at 5. Brian i was willing to start at kindergarten part time. You know your colors you can go home now. Ainsley isnt it all states you . Dont have to send your kids to preschool thats a parents decision. A lot of parents in new york do 2. Ainsley there are 2yearold programs. Brian they interviewed 3yearolds. Interviewed my son to get into preschool when four when he was three. Ainsley we need to do as parents. Let them play and have fun. Brian can we go back and do preschool now . Is it too late . Steve another free something. As you can hear, we have a personal history where we dont quite understand it meanwhile, this is something we dont we d do have somethingo understand. That Covington High School was on a school trip for the march for life. They were standing right there and Nathan Phillips that native american activist walked right up. The rush to judgment was these young men in the maga hats were mocking him and they were excoriated. The students were. Well, now, since the video has come out that is pretty much exonerated them. Now mr. Nick sandmanns family has sued the first target the Washington Post. They want a quarter will a billion dollars for what they did. Ainsley they are seeking justice. They say why that amount of money 250 million . Thats the amount that jeff bezos the worlds richest man paid in cash for the post when he purchased the newspaper in 2013. They are trying to teach the post a lesson. And must be dealt with the same way every bully is dealt with that is to hold the bully accountable for wrongdoing. Brian at love celebrities jumped right on and started ridicules these kids. I wonder if they walked it back and apologized could they be next . Ainsley they were sent letters. Brian here is what sandman wrote as part of his suit against the post. The post ignored basic journalistic standards it wanted to advance well known and easily documented bias against President Trump. The post bull idea an innocent child with an absolute disregard for his pain and destruction attacks would cause to his life. Listen, like it or not, when this kid applies to college. Every time someone brings up covington and kentucky, everyone is going to know exactly what everybody is talking about for the foreseeable future. Ainsley 250 million. Probably settle. Get half of that money . But he might have trouble getting a job down the road. He has to pay his attorney and going to affect him for the rest of his life. Steve this is the nature internet there are stories out there that are true and stories that are not true. Obviously what theyre trying to do is trying to correct the record. Elle linwood his Attorney Says there are over 50 celebrities, Media Outlets reporters and politicians who may be served with lawsuits as well. The Washington Post gave this statement to fox news regarding the lawsuit. We are planning to mount a vigorous defense. Nonetheless what they are trying to do is clear that kids name and the names of all the covington students so people will know what actually happened. Ainsley watch this. There is a little boy in texas Benton Stephens selling hot chocolate for 2 and marshmallows and using that money to help build a wall. Watch. Hot chocolate stand helping trump build the wall. He has had a lot of supporters online and some against you. Are you going to stop selling, doing the stand deal. Im not going to stop the stand until the wall is built. Steve there you are. His parents apparently members of the rnc and dinner table talk has influenced young benton. Over two days he raised 1,400 to help build a wall on our southern border. Ainsley look at Nancy Pelosis picture on there. Those marshmallows are extra 50 cents for those. Cup of ho chocolate 4 bucks. Some adults are happy to see him. According to his family some are mad. One referred to him as little hitler. Ainsley thats harsh. Brian between that and maga attacks and fake maga attacks amazing whats going on. Steve at the inauguration some women in pink accosted him and complained about his maga cap. Parents said they wanted it to be a learning experience. Figure out what politics are all about in this country. Brian and taking action. He wants to help. Ainsley he has raised up to 5,000 now. Isnt there a go fund me page. Brian there is. Ainsley trying to raise money to go to the wall. Does he send it to washington . Steve good question. I think they got up to 20 million. What do you think about that story where they called him a little hitler because he was trying to raise money for wall. Email us at friends foxnews. Com. Ainsley jillian has headlines for us.

Congratulations, kayleigh, not a surprise you are joining. Thank you, brian. Brian politico highlights this whole organization Brad Parscale heads you are off to a great start. 30 full time. 100 very shortly. And you have raised a lot of money. Absolutely. Brad parscale has made a start of the art operation world class team. We are light years ahead of where any campaign in modern history has been in terms of fundraising in terms of structure. This is going to run like a welloiled machine. Steve. Brian what role do you think you will have . What is different this time. I will be overseeing all our communications with the press in coordination with our calm comms director. The false kyrons we see. We will be on offense not defense. We will be out there. Exposing the press. Attack these democrats and guarantee you its offensive, its proactive. Not reactive and we are ready to go toe to toe. Brian decide the shutdown many people blamed on the president. Numbers are beginning to climb up his approval as he heads into this cycle. Many people say its a little early. Not too early for the democrats. They already have nine commitments and others were exploratory committee. Has that thanged your time line at all. No, we are ready for this. Of course these cycles get earlier and earlier each time. Its not caught us by surprise we set this operation up long ago. We are ready for this. You mention you had the president s skyrocketing poll numbers. I will tell you i have talked to Brad Parscale about his data. I can confirm that the president s state of the Union Address completely set him soorlg in the polls among swing voters. Very interestingly brad shared with me those who watched the president unfiltered for the state of the union without the Fake News Media lens he scrowcketted in the polls. Its incredible. Double digit among swing voters. Brian up to 44 which is typical. He has to find a way to get other people besides his base. What message can he get can he use that would get moderates and independents in his corner and also to go ahead and tackle women. Usually lose by 4 points in the midterms lost by 15 points. I can tell you in the state of the union when he was talking immigration. When he was talking healthcare. Lowering the cost of prescription drugs on all of those counts, paid family leave, 80 to 90 support registered among swing voters. This president , this is where the democrats ought to be very scared. He has an unfiltered lens in these rallies to talk directly to the American People. He has unfilter you had lens in these president ial debates to talk directly to the American People. He wins when it is him unfiltered at his best. The democrats should be very fearful moving forward. Brian its going to be very interesting. He will have a stark contrast instead of what i promise you had its what i did and what i will do. Its going to be an interesting time. The one thing is for certain not going to be going by the seat of the pants very organized. Absolutely. Brian 10 minutes before the bottom of the hour.

Brian matt finn in chicago uncovering details about the actors criminal past. Right, matt . Yeah, thats right. Documents obtained by fox news indicate that Jussi Smollett was convicted of dui in 2007 in los angeles in which he gave Police False Information and this morning here in chicago it is becoming increasingly apparent that police have trying to get a portion of this current case in front of a grand jury whether thats to obtain a subpoena or a warrant. Since this story took a dramatic turn. Jussi smollett has not responded to Chicago Polices important request for a followup interview. Smolletts crisis manager tells us he did not talk to Police Monday and he did not talk to them again yesterday. Chicago police acknowledging this case could go to prosecutors or grand jury for an arrest warrant and fox news has learned that the brothers were set to have their testimony against smollett locked in before a grand jury. Smolletts Team Provided some type of information that halted the grand jury process. Cook county state attorney kim cox suddenly recused herself from smolletts case yesterday. A statement says she might know some of the witnesses personally and smollett could be in trouble with the fbi agency is investigating a death threat letter sent to smollett. Jussi was involved in w. That letter. Chicago police are no longer insisting in Jussi Smollett is the victim in this case. Started to refer to him as the person who reported the incident. Brian, steve . Brian wow. Steve lots to that story. Matt, thank you very much. Ainsley you have another story about the police . Ainsley yes, thats exactly right. A new jersey Police Officer is going viral for an act of kindness. The officer went into a diner and ordered just a salad and a water about nine bucks.

Ainsley having a little girl. Yeah. Ainsley working to pay the bills for your little girl you love so much already. Tell us about that day. How did this happen . It was a regular day. Steady not too busy, not too slow. He came in and he wanted to sit by himself. He is real quiet. I was talking to the tables around him. Being my first baby i was excited. And then when he went to pay the checks the hostess said he left you 100. I said no he didnt. She said yes he did. When she showed me i was shocked. That doesnt happen. Ainsley that depose a long way. Yeah. Ainsley thats what you make in about a shift. Yeah. Ainsley what was your reaction you started to cry. I stuarted to cry. When i got home it hit me all over again. Ainsley why the tears . It was very genuine. It meant a lot to me because im getting ready to gout off work and it was unexpected. Ainsley how did it go viral . My dad shared it on facebook. It went public. Saturday morning he shared it and it started getting you know, a couple hundred shares and then about halfway through my shift i checked it and he had like 600 and something shares and it went completely viral within 24 hours. It was crazy. Ainsley thats great. What are you going to use the money for . Just diapers. You know. Basic baby stuff. Ainsley you are going to need a lot of those. Definitely. Ainsley the Police Officer wants to be anonymous. Do you know anything about him . Just that he had just had a little baby and he is so in love with being a father to his first child thats why he did it. Ainsley you never got a chance to thank him because he left the restaurant too soon what do you want to say to him. Thank you. It was so generous. Ainsley what did your dad say. He was thrilled. So when you get something good. He really wanted to share and it thank him. And you know with him leaving already, i couldnt thank him. So, it was definitely really awesome that he made the post. Hopefully get it out to him and reached out to his chief. He definitely is at least heard it a couple of times. Ainsley we wish you all the best. Thank you. Ainsley what are you going to name her . Cailee. Ainsley so sweet. Got bled you. Thank you. Ainsley you will be a great mom. The Sanders Campaign feeling the return of the bern raising more than 4 million in a few hours. Bernie also feels good about his platform. Medicare for all. Raising the minimum wage to 15 an hour. All of those ideas and more are now part of the political mainstream. Ainsley do millennials still like those ideas . Our panel of millennials is here next to discuss it coming up next. Get ready get ready get ready cause here i come want a performance car that actually fits your life . Introducing the new 2019 ford edge st. Capability meets power. In the first suv from the Ford Performance team. The new 2019 ford edge st Bernie Sanders has announced he is running for president. [cheers and applause] although at age 77 years old. He isnt as much running as slowly wandering for president. Senator Bernie Sanders announced today that he will run for president in 2020. If successful, he would be the oldest person thats it. [laughter] steve there you have late night hosts joking about Bernie Sanders run for president. The senator announced he has raised more than 4 million in the first 12 hours of his campaign. Thats extraordinary. So what do millennials think about bernie and the direction of the Democratic Party . Lets talk to a panel of millennials across the political spectrum. Screen left right here we have Nathan Reuben the founder of millennial politics. Maliyah fisher is the founder of we are defiant. Joseph pin i dont know is outreach chair for young republicans and chair for the conservative Color Coalition and alison lee pillager choi is officer of leading heart conservatives. Good to have all of you. Lets start with you. Is he a democratic socialist. Isnt it a problem being a socialist in the United States running for president . I think its an interesting question and to be honest socialism is losing edge particularly among millennials. With that said a country of 300 million. 330 million people, if there are only about 50,000 registered democratic socialists. So, while the term is losing its edge, the increase in registration and affiliation with that actual part of the party isnt skyrocketing but people like what Bernie Sanders has to say. Steve keep in mind, is he not even a democrat. Hes an independent who caucuses with the democrats. You like the fact he was very popular four years ago and a lot of his ideas people are outrunning bernie. A lot of millennials are going to be incredibly excited about bernie this cycle. Steve why is that because he stands for free everything . No. Because we are facing insurmountable challenges as a generation. We will be worse off than our parents. We are facing crushing debt. We are facing stagnant wages. We are facing a society that cant even afford too pay for family medical leave. Child care and these are issues that bernie actually has Broad Solutions to address. Steve but his solutions are expensive. Where does the money come from . I think that the money comes from taxing wealthy americans who can afford to pay more to help everyone in our society. And generations to come. Steve whats that number . That number is. Steve a really rich person should pay how much . I think if we went up to a 70 tax. Steve ugh. We would see a lot more ability for our generation to sustain jobs and our families down the line. Steve okay. Joseph, back when taxes in the United States the highest march jingle bell rates were like 70, 80, 90 there were a million loopholes and nobody actually paid that are the bernie ideas sustainable or is it a great idea on the campaign trail . I think the reality is that socialism has literally never worked in the history of the world. Have the tax rate go up to 100 percent still not pay for the pittance of the ideas being proposed. I think the reality is Bernie Sanders is going to have a lot of difficulty. Last year last cycle he got to be the candidate who was not Hillary Clinton. Now, everyone is not Hillary Clinton. And i think that the candidate who is liberal politics going to find himself in a field where everyone is saying get today and work out tomorrow. Steve look at the field of democrats right now. You have got for instance have you Amy Klobuchar and Sherrod Brown they say you know healthcare for all would be a great idea we cant do it all at once it would have to be incremental and Howard Schultz, the billionaire from starbucks. He says Green New Deal not realistic, immoral. Healthcare for all doesnt make sense. So while a lot of people are thinking okay, thats a great idea. There are people in his own party adopted party if the democrats let him. Even Kamala Harris who champions getting rid of private Insurance Companies went say she is a democratic socialist. She understands there is a fine line. And i cant fully blame the millennials for who think they support socialism. They came to adulthood during the time of the financial crisis and i really do blame the failed education system. Lack of specific education that is having them believe this is a better way forward. Steve real quickly. Take a look at a poll the view of millennials on socialism. About a third of millennials do like it. Unfavorable it looks like about 46 say they dont like it. And then the other answers right there as well lightning round one at a time. At this point a little under 10 so far have declared they are interested in running on the democratic side. Who is the biggest challenge to the president. I think right now its a little early to say. Steve have to pick one. There are three people i would say top tier candidate. Bernie sanders, he raised 4 billion overnight from 140,000 individual voters. Kamala harris another top tier and Elizabeth Warren they are all occupying that progressive wing. Steve maliyah. I think i agree with nathan across the board. Very exciting our our candidates have by 30 points. Steve okay, joseph . One candidate keep the candidates up at night is probably Amy Klobuchar. Resonates with the largest voice of americans. Realistically end up picking Bernie Sanders only thing for certain President Trump might not just win he will probably win the popular vote. Steve you like Amy Klobuchar because she is a moderate. During the primary generally you have to be more extreme. The reality is, to me im a republican so i think they are all probably failed ideas but i think the hard truth is that Amy Klobuchar probably speaks more in step with the vast voice of americans. Steve finally alison. For a long time Howard Schultz i think would be keeping donald trump up at night. Steve a chicken in every pot and latte in every kitchen. Steve joseph, alison, thank you very much. It is now 19 minutes 21 minutes before the top of the hour. Sorry about that. Its digital, jillian. Jillian very difficult to tell the times sometimes.

Jillian, thank you. Look 59 images, a memorial to fallen Border Agents face the national Border Patrol museum near el paso vandalized after this protest over the weekend. Actually a lot of Border Patrol agents from murderers. Thats who they are. They have medica murdered famil. They have murdered youth. [inaudible] at the border like water. Need to push back. Push back in every way we can. Steve Border Patrol agent hector garza Vice President of the Border Patrol council he joins us with reaction this morning from austin. When you watch those images of those people inside the museum. What goes through your head . Its just very disappointing and disgusting that these people would vandalize the museum that honors Border Patrol agents and honors those agents that have made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting their nation. I wish these people would hold the drug cartels accountable for putting all these people at risk and all these aliens that die while they are coming across the border. But, again, these are the results when people vilify the work of the Border Patrol and work. Ainsley how did they get inside and have a protest inside the museum and deface some of the pictures and some of the items in the museum . Well, this museum has been in the Community Since 1985. Its a Public Museum parttime are welcome. Schools out there go out to the museum so the students can learn the history of the u. S. Border patrol. And they made access. They had access to the museum and instead of honoring our agents they vandalized the museum and its very, very unfortunate. Brian we got the photos and video. Someone going to pursue thi this . We hope people are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Border patrol agents part of the border community. Born and raised in border communities. Why are they disrespecting their own Community Members . Steve hector, clearly the museum was a target. People went in and had this protest. To you as a Border Patrol representative feel like a target as well . Well, we have been targeted by members of congress. We have been targeted by the Fake News Media and that is very unfortunate. That needs to stop. Our Border Patrol agents do an amazing job day in and day out rescuing people left behind by human smugglers. Rescuing people that are victims of sex trafficking and human trafficking. This is definitely a show of disrespect for law and order. Brian is it time to take down the wall, the fence because its immoral . Is it president making up a crisis . We see its a humanitarian crisis on the border. We see people being victimized by the cartels and human smugglers. It needs to stop. We need to make sure our members of congress get serious about this. Recognize there is an emergency on the border. Ainsley has the wall in el paso made you safer and are new support of a wall. Of course. We have been advocating for physical barriers along the border strategic locations. Unfortunately some people on the left and in the Fake News Media they try to create this false fairive thanarrative. Border patrol agend walls to keep borders safe and Border Patrol agents as well. Beto orourke would take the fence down is he running than platform. Steve he is from el paso. Heck tore thank you very much. Brian unbelievable. Thanks, hector.

Maxine wouldnt know patriotism if it came up and bit her square on the behind. They have sued the Washington Post. They want a quarter of a billion dollars what they did. Ainsley new jersey Police Officer left a pregnant waitress in tears when he realized he gave her 100 in tips. You hear bad things from cops but when you get something good its a blessing. This 7yearold boy is called little hitler for raising money for the border you will. Are you going to stop selling . Im not stopping until the wall is built. A monster winter storm. Snowing in d. C. They have completely shut the city down, it is just a mess when it starts to snow. Steve that is what it looks like when we look out the window. We look at you. Welcome aboard, folks. Hour three of fox friends. Lots to talk about, right . Steve i love the story in the first two hours about the vet with the track chair outfitted it with a blade to pay back his community where they were able to move the snow out. I also love the story with the waitress. The guy ran up 8dollar bill, left 100dollar tip. Brian i love seeing elmo in person. Children dancing was really cute, right . Steve what will happen in the final hour . Stay tuned because it starts right now. Ainsley thats right. Also in the news 2020 democratic hopefuls slamming President Trumps National Emergency on the southern border. Brian the attacks are mounting as the president promises to prevail over all the lawsuits against his declaration. Steve washington, d. C. Is officially shut down. Somehow kevin corke was able to make it to work this morning. Reporter piece of cake. Steve it was a piece of cake. Reporter i live mile 1 2 from the white house. I guess i could walk. I have an suv i rarely drive it. A today like today i was able to mix it up in the snow. President tweeting just moments ago. Let me take you to his favorite social media plaid form, he said this case sy bernie has just entered the race. Wish him well. Sanders joining crowded and soon to be more crowded Democrat Field taking on the president in 2020 ready to battle the incumbent on his policies to the border wall. We dont need a multibilliondollar wall. That aint going to stop them. A lot of people are indigenous to the land. And that border that is why the wall is so disturbing. This thing about seeking asylum. He doesnt want people coming to the border, why would you eliminate that possibility, for your case to be adjudicated in country . It is about xenophobia. Reporter seen xenophobia or fashion security depending on your perspective. President s pole numbers are surging 7 points in january to 44 . According to the latest gallup survey. Keep this in mind, in other surveys he is north of 50 . Things on the plus side for the president right now. Brian that is incredible, kevin, the stark difference between what president wants and what they perceive. They dont think it is an emergency, they think it is totally a fallacy. Ainsley at least now they do. Not a few years ago. Thanks so much, kevin. Brian he doesnt start it every day. Steve there you go. Talk a little bit about this there in washington, d. C. The Washington Post received yesterday that the famous attorney from atlanta, lynwood, who is representing nick samond from Washington Post, suing 250,348. They claim that he bullied nick because he was the White Catholic student wearing a maga hat on a field trip. The story was that he and others were mocking the nativeamerican. As more video came out, abundantly clear that initial story all wrong. Ainsley suing for 250 million. That is how much jeff bezos the richest person, says in the lawsuit paid for the post in cash in 2013. The president tweeting about it, covington students suing wapo, Washington Post. Go get them, nick, fake news. Steve Washington Post put out a statement. Reviewing the copy of the lawsuit and we plan to mount a vigorous defense. The post proved itself to be a loud and aggressive with a bully pulpit n this country our society is dedicated to protection of children regardless of color of their skin, religious beliefs or the cap they wear. The post did not care about protecting nicholas. They raced with reckless disregard to the facts and truth. In this day and time there is premium for being first and loudest mia bully. They want 250 million because of the rush to judgment. Brian antitrump movement continues. Andy mccabe has a book out. Would you think a guy with mr. Law and order would wait for an investigation to finish went out with his view of the a investigation of the president United States and reasons behind it. Anything he does wrong he doesnt really remember. When peter strzok name come up, lisa page come up, their Text Messages are empirical evidence that they hate the president , he said they are good people made bad decisions but dont think the biases leaked into any of their investigation. Here is a little of his book tour as he continues to attack the president , who got him elected and what he might be subservient to. Still believe the president could be a russian asset . I think it is possible. I think that is why we started our investigation. Is there anything in the last two years that makes you less suspicious of the president . No. [laughter]. Did i answer too quickly . No. Steve keep in mind, he is out promoting this book, but he got fired from the department of justice because of he had leaked some information to the washington, to the wall street journal that is, to say, yesterday, ainsley brought this up earlier, Meghan Mccain had him in the hot chair. Actually had him grilled a little bit. Ainsley she didnt hold back. Watch this. I would like you to say right here on national tv that you were not a source for the New York Times, you were never a source for the New York Times or any other publication considering that is what youre accused of lying about . Basically were you ever a leaker to the New York Times . Absolutely not. Not in anytime ever. Why did james comey denied the claim that he approved your liking to the press . I dont know why jim comey doesnt remember the conversations we had in the same way i do. Brian so understanding with james comey not understanding things the way he does, but not understanding of the president having a different perception of their interactions. He is also not understanding that the Inspector General, no one really said had a bias, hired by president obama, to investigate what took place about to come up with a further investigation, this michael horowitz, he says, well, the Inspector General who said you lied three times, recommended you get fired, criminal referral, where you could end up, in criminal court, he doesnt understand, well he might have been pressured by the attorney general because the president wanted him to be. No one i know has ever said the Inspector General sanctity and honnessty was in question. That is what his answer is. Ainsley interesting how he goes on media blitz trying to sell books and liberal media brian loves him. Ainsley loves the story, because he doesnt like the president. He was trying to out of the president using the 25th amendment allegedly. Meghan mccain says that to him, probably only one, a few people have questioned him to his face all social media, kudos to you, Meghan Mccain for asking him the tough questions. Steve one thing about the fact he revealed chats between him and Rod Rosenstein and others regarding using 25th amendment to get rid of the president of the United States, you know, you would think that the administration would love that because it continues the narrative that is out there that there is a deep state out there, highest reaches of government that are working against the president. Then when you see andy mccabe on television, yeah i had this conversation, trying to figure out how to do it, the president and his team say, see, that is exactly what weve been talking about the last two years. There is a deep state and he is proving it. Brian has not had a good answer to the question why his wife got 680,000 from the Hillary Clinton campaign. They never met. State senate race is pretty substantial. Why 140 million goes to the clinton foundation, from russia, but Hillary Clinton didnt raise up any eyebrows without any of her possibly being compromised by that country. We also dont know about an investigation that happened july 5th where Hillary Clinton was questioned but not under oath with nobody taping it at all. She doesnt, no one ever asks these questions to him. The dossier was the foundation of all of it, barely comes up in any of this examination. Steve he is on a book tour if he likes to stop by the couch. We have a space here. Ainsley jillian with headlines. Jillian lets get you caught up on latest of story weve been following. Empire Actor Jussie Smollett could be soon handed an arrest warrant. Latest tweet into an investigation of a alleged hate crime against him. The actor has not responded to a request by Chicago Police for followup interview. His lawyer says this is not a hoax. Well have a live report from chicago in a few minces as fbi looks at a piece of hate mail sent to smollett before the attack. A lot to unravel. Acting president of venezuela is confident that u. S. Aid will reach the people who need it. In an exclusive interview juan guaido tells fox business he plans to deliver stockpiles of medicine and supplies into the country. Disputed president maduro so far has blocked the aid. Rosen is currently transportation secretary. He previously served as general counsel for the department. He was a partner at the Chicago Based Law Firm with attorney general william barr. Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein is expected to step down next month. Viral campaign moment. Democratic president ial can did Kirsten Gillibrand gets interrupted by someone who wants ranch dressing. I am just going to get the ranch. [laughter] jillian the Iowa College Student said she had no interest in talking politics during gillibrands stop in the. She goes to the restaurant for bible study. When you need the ranch dressing you need it. Steve you have to make it perfect. Ainsley gillibrand thought she was saying something. Im just trying to get the ranch. Steve where is the siracha . Just asking. Many liberal states are increasing access to very lateterm abortions but mississippi Governor Phil Bryant, wants his state to be the safest place in america for the unborn child. He joins us live next. Brian someone called this little kid little hitler. He wanted to sell hot chock late and raise money for the wall. Your comments on that decision next. Means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight and never stop. Does this sound dismal . It isnt. Its the most wonderful life on earth. Steve the state of mississippi passing a a pair ever heartbeat bills last week banning abortion at the time a babys heartbeat is detected. This is the not first antiabortion bill the state passed. Back in 2018 it also passed a law that banned most abortions after 15 weeks. That was later ruled unconstitutional though the state is appealing that. Will this new law, which is even more strict stand up to a Court Challenge which undoubtedly would happen . Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant joins us from jackson, mississippi. Governor, good morning to you. Good morning, steve, glad to be with you. Steve good to be with you. What would this heartbeat bill do . It will do what medical science has proven from the beginning, a heartbeat is the beginning of life. When the child lives through detection of that the heartbeat six to nine weeks, you cant destroy that life, cant take that life in the womb. It would hold the doctor responsible through the licensure procedure if the doctor disobeyed that. If the doctor in writing did not notify the patient that the child had a heartbeat. Other than the life of the mother, the abortion at that point would be prohibited in mississippi. Steve phil, what do you make of these other states, famously now the commonwealth of virginia, they were proposing essentially a day of birth abortion, for that to be legal . Youve got very lateterm abortion in number of states including new york state where im sitting and new jersey where i live. What are these lawmakers trying to do . I think what theyre trying to do is what many of the democrats want to do, they want to grow the culture of death, if you will. They want to be able to say take the life of a child at anytime, moments before the birth of that child, even as we heard some elected officials talk about after that child was born, making it comfortable, then taking their life. This is shocked the senses of this nation. It has shown a light on exactly what the endgame would be to be able to have infanticide if you will, across this nation upon just the demand of someone that wants to take the life of a child. We think, in a strange way they are going to help our movement by shocking people into realizing just how horrific this movement has become, taking the life of a child moments before it is born. Viability, having a heartbeat. It is truly shocking and were going to try to stop it here in mississippi and other states around the nation. Look at ohio, governor dewine says he will sign the bill that governor kasich vetoed. Florida, tennessee, kentucky, the movement is spreading. Were proud to begin it here in the state of mississippi. Steve not just mississippi, governor. Look at the national polls, a majority of americans are squarely against very lateterm abortion. Women should have a right to an abortion but it shoulding should be earlier than later. If particularly if you ask millenials, majority of americans say absolutely not. Lateterm abortion is something theyre against. Ed officials should be against. Science is on our side. Son know grabs that have been developed show the development of that fetus far beyond anything we can imagine at very early ages this is human being, they have rights bestowed upon them. Rights of people not even citizens of this United States, we want to give them every right afforded to citizen of the United States, but that child within the womb well take all their rights to live away. Steve in mississippi youre about to pass the heartbeat bill out of both houses. You will sign i. Thank you for dropping by from mississippi. Thank you, steve. Always enjoy it. Steve 8 20 here in new york city, the field of democrats running in 2020 looks diverse but one former naacp leader says theyre selling the same old policies. He will explain that next. Plus this top housing and urban development staffer is living in public housing. She found out what the hard way what life is like inside when youre stuck in an elevator.

President trump is set to hold a second round of denuking talks with kim jongun in hanoi. The president says he is quote, in no rush for pongyang to ditch its nukes so long as they dont resume missile tests. In the spirit of the summit, vietnamese barber is giving out free haircuts inspired by donald trump and kim jongun. Creating the iconic trumpkim handshake photo. The barber says President Trumps style displays power while kims cut shows youth. There you go. Ainsley thank you, steve. The growing field of democratic hope youfuls might look like a diverse group. Our next guest says from candidates to freshmen in. Brian to a new oped, quote a painful reminder that the modern Democratic Party does not want us to get woke. They want us to stay broke. Reverend cl bryant, senior fellow at freedomworks. In what respect does this group want us to remain broke . Are they so much into spending . That has been the sign that progressive liberals have had on a Certain Community and this country, for the last 60 years. They dont want any types of changes as far as their voting bloc is concerned. Theyre scared to death now, that there is an awakening going on, in the Minority Community. And the identity politics which has been the foundation of racism in this country, since the end of slavery, is the tool that they are using to maintain control. Over that voting bloc. Ainsley why is that. Why is that message, why is it dangerous for the democrats, for the people who go to the polls, think its a good message. What do you say to them . The good news about the message that the progressive liberals are placing in the american field right now, in the population of america is that, identity politics and progressism, socialism will implode upon itself. Before our very eyes, before our american eyes we are seeing how it is imploding. And so i certainly hope that america continues to watch them make fools of themselves. Brian i mean they definitely take the black vote for granted. I dont think anyone doubts that. They also say, well give you free health care, free preschool, give you free college, why wouldnt you vote for that . By the way the successful rich people are cheating, they dont want to pay their fair share. In fact the term is freeloaders. Look at the stats, president of the United States since he took over, some say coincidence, i doubt it, a lot of his policies are dramatic. You have low minority unemployment. More back to work, less food stamps. When he cracks down on illegal immigration he is helping the working class more than anybody else. In the midst of economic prosperity, and you have named point by point the things that this president has done in over, in less than two years, we see 300,000 jobs added just last month. We see the lowest Unemployment Rate in this country. Were in the midst of prosperity. And americans are beginning to be very tired of being victimized by ideas that we are not a great country. And that we are a country of losers. This is the message that progressive liberalism does in fact put forth. Freedom works, our organization, we have a mission in order to educate and build the largest Grassroots Organization in the nation and that is to let people know that American Freedom is something that is given to us as an endowment in our founding documents. And americans, we should take back the opportunity to pursue our lives, our liberty, and our happiness. Socialism, democratic socialism, or any otherwise will definitely rob the American People of that great gift that god has given to us. Ainsley reverend, have you always felt like this . If not, when was the turning point for you . The turning point for me was back in 1989 when i was president of the naacp in garland, texas. I was asked to speak at a prochoice rally by directive came down from dr. Benjamin hooks, the former executive director of the naacp. God rest his soul but i could not do it because of my core value beliefs. I noticed that my star that was rising rapidly in the organization abruptly began to set. And i said to my wife, jane, you know, they dont just want to control the agenda, they want to control me and use my as a tool to control these people. And so with that epiphany, i began a journey toward conservatism and i began a journey toward where we are today. Brian you know what . If your theory is correct, could be why almost every candidate goes out of their way to call the president a racist, xenophobe, sexist, the worst possible descriptions they might be getting panicked the Minority Community might be up for grabs this election cycle. Reverend bryant. Thank you very much. Ainsley thank you, reverend. Thank you. Brian straight ahead, Maxine Waters says President Trumps supporters are not real american. Those people who want the wall theyre not patriots, they are not people who love this country. Brian really . She was just getting warmed up. Ainsley it is the president versus californias railroad.

Ainsley the latest twist into the investigation into the alleged hate crime attack on smollett. Steve we have new information in chicago about the actors criminal past. Matt . Reporter good morning. This morning it is becoming increasingly apparent Chicago Police are trying to get portions of the smollett case in front of a grand jury perhaps to get a warrant, some type of subpoena. Fox news has learned that the brothers testimony was set to be locked in before a grand jury but smolletts legal Team Provided some type of information that paused the grand jury process. Documents obtained by fox news reveal in 2007 Jussie Smollett was convicted of a dui, lying to police in los angeles, sentenced to 36 months probation. This morning smolletts crisis manager, smolletts that not talked to Police Monday or tuesday, not responding to requests for a followup interview. On tuesday, Cook County State Attorney kim fox recused herself from the state. She might personally know some of the witnesses. Police tell fox news they investigated a tip yesterday at the that the brothers were seen inside of the highrise the night of the attack with smollett but ruled the tip unfounded. Brian, ainsley, steve. Steve here to weigh in, radio show host larry elder joins us from l. A. There was a rush to judgment in this case, that turned out not to be the case. Ill say. My reaction, isnt this good news that this didnt happen . I was interested in the reaction of a people tv host, who says i was hoping and praying this day would never come, meaning the day would never come that we found out that Jussie Smollett had pull ad hoax. She would prefer to believe in the streets of chicago, you have trumpsupporting goons wearing maga caps, patrolling streets at night with bleach and nooses looking for black and gay trump bashers to beat up, to whitewash and to lynch. That would be a better reality for her, than to think this actor just lied. That blows my mind. Brian larry you see the big picture here when all these other president ial candidates call the president a racist, sexist, xenophobe, covington backlash, there is desperation to make the president seem like a white supremacist. That is whole point behind it. Why it had legs. The narrative trump is racist, his support remembers racist. Not only supporters are racist but also violent racists. It served the purpose. It served the purpose of racism remain as major problem in america. A mantra of the Democratic Party and the left. That is also nonsense. Back in 1997 time and cnn did a joint poll, asked black teens and white teens, do you think racism is a major problem in america. Both said yes. More white teens said yes than black teens this is the poll, before we had backtoback black attorneys generals, before we had backtoback black secretaries of state, we had obama office. Is racism a minor problem, major problem, no problem in your daily lives. 89 of black teens said minor or no problem in my life. That was 22 years ago. My suspicion racism is a lot less now than back in 1997. It was not a problem for teens back then. Its a lie. This Jussie Smollett thing advance idea that donald trump is racist, that racist is major problem in the america. It was a perfect storm story. Ainsley he was scheduled to be in nine different scenes, have a musical act. He has been cut out of five of the scenes. He has no mans to meet with police, even though police want to requestion him.
