Winter mess this christmas. Parts of the region already cord with snow. A santa claus proposees to his mrs. Claus he met 40 years ago. Popping the question while in costume. That man has been playing santa since he was 13 years old. Im hearing sleigh bells im seeing snow ive waited all year, baby brian i cannot believe im listening to a Christmas Song for the first time. I have never heard that song before by kelly clarkson. Griff she is great. Lisa cant miss it, right . Griff i even brought a santa hat. This plays a part in the day, i think. Brian hold it or not wear it or are you going to wear it. Lisa you did just have your hair done. Griff our Makeup Artist is going to be mad. Merry christmas. You have got to get in the spirit. This is it. His got to fluff it up its to the side. Brian you brought your whole family here. Griff i brought two teenage daughters up. Lisa bless your heart, griff. Brian recheck the griff debt ceiling. Lisa you will need a lot in new york. Brian there was a time in Holiday Season you went to best of tapes and went out to the airport. Everyone was running to get home. Then there was trump and major news in the middle of the shut down. We are finding out the shut down is in day three as a portion of the government is not founded mostly Homeland Security really downsd to Border Security. Right, guys . Lisa technically the government would be shut down today and tomorrow anyways because its a government holiday. Brian talking about being furloughed or not being furloughed. Bottom line they did not get their appropriations bill signed. The men or women who have been retired will have to come back after or do a delay of game, wait until january 3rd and wait for the new house to come in . Griff we will find out. Mic mull van mulvaney says we ae stuck between the president s 5 billion request and the democrats offering 1. 3. And he says, you know, they are willing to move off of their 5. Its in the democrats corner. Here is mic mulvaney talking about that yesterday. Brian countered by Jeff Berkeley who sounds like he is not going to budge. We moved off of the 5 we hope they move off the 1. 3. The American People want us totospend money in a smart way. Let me be clear democrats are not going to agree to funding to build a new border wall . None . Thats correct, none. Lisa the thing to keep in mind this is all about politics. This is not about policy. Democrats are previously supported a barrier at the southern border. They voted for billions of dollars in fencing along the southern border. Democrats were also willing to offer President Trump 25 billion for a wall in exchange for daca. This is not a policy issue. This is politics. They want to deny President Trump his Key Campaign Promise heading into 2020. Thats what this is really about. Its all about politics. Brian i would add this. I think the president shows give in this way. I want a solid wall straight through. He goes to the border a number of times. Talks to all these experts and say mr. President we need to see through some of this. It hurts us to have a solid wall. In other areas it will be. Heres what we need in different areas. He goes all right. They said we dont need 2,000 miles. We have some of it there number two the mountains and rivers help in other areas. He goes down and these slots its not really a compromise. Its listening to what the border experts and people like tom homan were telling him and saying this is what is great. He has never said drones are bad. Never said technology doesnt work. He says lets make it a combination. Anybody you talk to outside of washington tells you and you guys have been to the border, too, tells the border is effective. Go to israel the border is effective. Have you set up a barrier, it is effective. Griff just to add to that your point, the Border Patrol officials, and i have been down there a lot this year say we need three things, infrastructure, technology and ma manpower. What you see in the shutdown is democrats denying the Border Patrol. Brian symbolism. Griff need this component to secure the border. Brian i also want to find out what the viewers think. Is that okay . Lisa i think. So. Brian tell us about the shutdown. How long are you willing to wait . Does the president lose leverage if he goes past january 3rd. Did what the house throw out 5 billion and ends up with nancy pelosi giving him nothing. Lisa let us know whose side you are on in this fight. Lisa james mattis signing the order to pull u. S. Soldiers out of syria. Brian its official who thought the president would back off. January mattis made it clear they are coming out. He says he will be out of the white house sooner than he thought. Griff Gillian Turner is live with the latest. Lisa hi, gillian. Gillian my three favorite people on one couch. No offense to anyone else. You are awesome. All right, so a Senior Defense official confirming to fox news yesterday that outgoing defense secretary jim mattis has signed orders to pull allamerican troops out of syria during the coming weeks. Pentagon officials though declining to share any specifics of the plan, citing security reasons. Roughly 2,000 u. S. Troops remain currently in syria. President trump said defense secretary mat tis will be leaving in one week. Essentially forcing him out two months earlier than expected. The president tweeting im pleased to announce that our very talented deputy secretary of defense Patrick Shanahan will assume the title of acting secretary of defense starting january 1. Patrick has a long list of accomplishments while serving as deputy and previously boeing. He will be great. Patrick shanahan was confirmed as acting secretary of defense in july of 2017. He is a long time decades long former boeing executive and son of vietnam veteran Mike Shanahan who served in the army. Critics of President Trumps decision to pull out of syria say isis hasnt yet been defeated and lawmakers are urging the president not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors who most recently pulled all u. S. Troops from iraq in 2011. They say that created space for isis to grow in the middle east. Brian thanks, gillian. 16 hours ago the president tweeted i just talked to erdogan again the president of turkey i told him basically this is yours. Erdogan was a little panicked dont pull out so quick. They are looking to fill in the vacuum but for us to actually count on turkey, erdogan looking at his recent track record even though they are technically in nato is unbelievable. Turkey is going to tame aim at the kurds not at isis. They are out for survival. The arab collision tha coalitioe kurds beat. Lisa im so conflicted on this issue. I think the senator lindsey grams in the world need to be honest stay there indefinitely. When would the withdrawal be . Alternative. I at it from the sense that pulled out of the iran deal. Ceding to rush. I worry about the kurds. They were the ones who have been on the Ground Fighting isis for us. Turkey said they are going to bury them. And we are essentially leading them to slaughter. Griff he is not the only one conflicted. If you listened to the talk shows yesterday you had people on both sides of this. This is congresswoman liz cheney and rand paul talking about that. Take a listen to this. You have got iran and isis. If we are to withdraw from syria we are handing syria to the iranians. We should not be withdrawing our forces. Im proud of the president. This is exactly what he promised. People believe with him, actually. People believe we have been at war too long and too many places and we need to turn attention to problems we have at home here. Brian i give rand paul credit because is he sincere but is he 100 percent wrong. If we were rebuilding sir i cant tell president is right. If we wering you fighting in a syrian civil war, he is right. We are fighting number one enemy isis, al qaeda, alshabaab, al news are a and islamic extremism. We are neutralizing a threat. Do you know the nypd, the fbi is benefiting from what those 2,000 soldiers able to collect over there to stop attacks here. Nobody was clamoring to get 2,000 people out. Griff all the way back to april there were headlines. Brian if you dont mind, i would like to add this. Conditions on the ground. Conditions on the ground they are t not down yet. First time isis flag is flying over a city in that area the president loses reelection. They dont talk about tax cut or the economy or unemployment. They say isis, al qaeda, 9 11. There is a connection. Lisa all right. Well, im sure we will get to this later on in the show for now. For now we have jillian mele with the headlines. Jillian good morning.

I think they have been doing that 16 years as well. Why not have a little bit fun with it. Brian send us your Christmas Card. Lisa we want your Christmas Cards. Brian there is a lot going on today. Coming up straight ahead, President Trump is battling democrats for a deal on the border wall you may have heard. President reagan made a deal more than 30 years ago and still got no results. Our next guest worked in the Reagan Administration and had some advice. That story next. Griff run, run rudolph the police are on your tail. The red nosed burglar is on your tail. Brian thats not really rudolph. Lisa i dont know. That looks like him. And one of americas best savings rates. To top it off, you can open one from anywhere in 5 minutes. This isnt a typical bank.

It is such a good time to dance it is such a good time to [ laughing ] scoobidoo doobidoo scoobidoo doobidoo [ goose honking ] [ laughing ] a bad day on the road still beats a good one off it. Progressive helps keep you out there. Griff as President Trump continues to fight for Border Security president reagans son is warning him about making a deal with democrats. Michael reagan tweeting hey, potus in 1986 my father made a deal with the democrats amnesty for Border Security. My father is still waiting. You have no choice, its now or never, build the wall now. Well, here with more is george rodriguez, the former special steantsd during the Reagan Administration. Good morning. And Merry Christmas to you. Merry christmas. How are you doing . Griff im good. Im so glad you have joined us. A lot of people want to know having seen that tweet. What would president Ronald Reagan say today, george, about whats happening . I will tell you, he would tell them be very, very careful. This is the last, in my opinion, he would probably say this is going to be your last opportunity just like his son is saying. This situation that we have got, we saw it in 1986, when we were working on the when we were working on the Immigration Reform act. Everybody was talking about we have got to do an amnesty because enforcement was going to be too much. We needed to put in some sugar into the legislation so to speak. Well, it turns out here we are, 2018, and the only thing that we have got is diabetes from all that sugar and we never got the enforcement that we needed. Griff when you looked, what happened . What do you think knees to happen now based on that lesson . We need to go right back to the Immigration Reform act of 1986 and enforce it the everify, for example. Mandatory was never done and, you know, the i9 requirement right now for employment, that doesnt do you any good if you dont know if you are hiring somebody that is using bogus information, bogus social security. The other thing is that you have got a lot of undocumented folks that are taking advantage of federal benefits that they shouldnt be. I mean, you know, this is a magnet that brings these people and keeps them here. Griff george, let me ask you one last question. That is some in the media have been a bit critical of this whole debate saying that president reagan probably wouldnt support a wall. What do you think . I think he would. I mean, you have been down there to the border, griff. You have seen the number the traffic that is coming in from across the border. I mean, its out of control. The border has always been, the border has always been open and has always had problems with illegal immigration. But not like its got it today. And i know that he would say do something. Griff you are right about that. Epic levels for sure. Thank you very much and have a Merry Christmas. Thank you. Griff all right is there trouble in democratic paradise in the new feud brewing between Bernie Sanders and beto orourke. And home alone is a christmas favorite. I love it.
