And he is going to come out. Michigan state is headed to minneapolis. Uptown funk. Saturday night. Dont believe me just watch. Brian saturday night. Steve this is more of a midtown funk than uptown, dont you think . We are midtown. Brian charging for midtown funk because there is going to be a congestion crisis. Ainsley talking about the budget in new york city. If you live here, you will be paying a lot more money. If you come here as a tourist you will be paying more too. Brian we want to tax you until you stop coming and people stop living here. Steve listen, by the way. If somebody tells you something today that just seems too unbelievable, dont believe it its april 1st. April fools day, everybody. Thank you for joining us live. Ainsley i hope we dont have anything planned. I remember taking that box off and brian was hiding underneath the table and scared me to death. Steve whats going to happen the next three hours, you have to stick around to find out. We leave things off with a fox news alert. Ainsley President Trump could shut down the u. S. Mexico border this week as the administration is cutting off funding to three Central American countries are. It certainly isnt a bluff. You can take the president seriously. We are on track this month to close to 100,000. We have never seen a surge like this. Brian so here we go. Desperate times, desperate measures. Griff jenkins joins us live from washington to break it all down. Hey, griff, if anyone knows the border and the problem, its you. Everyone seems to realize we are in a crisis. Well, you know, its story after story of more and more migrants coming when the president says he is going to close the border, he is not bluffing. Bluffing acting white house chief of staff Mick Mulvaney explains why. Why are we talking about closing the border . Because not for spite and not to try and undo whats happening. But to simply say, look, we need the people from the ports of entry to go out and patrol in the dessert where we dont have any wall. Griff here are the facts. Cdp says 40 of their agents are being diverted from the Border Security mission to care for family units and children. Closing the border could have a heavy economic impact. Warn it would affect 107 billion of cross border trade. These numbers, again, are targeting on pas for over 100,000 apprehensions for the month of march. As of last night, guys, my source at Border Patrol in just the Rio Grande Valley sector alone for the past nine Straight Days they have seen more than 1,000 apprehensions per day. A caravan a day. Most of them coming from an area known as the northern triangle, el salvador, guatemala and honduras. The president says he is cutting 500 million of aid to these countries. The president took a shot at mexico and democrats are not doing enough saying the democrats are allowing a a ridiculous asylum system and loopholes as a main stay of our immigration system. Mexico is likewise doing nothing. Homeland security is being so very nice but not for long. Visa program for 2500 migrants in southern mexico on a limited basis. You will remember it was shut down earlier due to overwhelming numbers across mexicos southern border. Steve it was. Griff, you said tupper perfectly. We have been talking for a while, there a humanitarian crisis at our southern border. And if the president were to close our southern border, it would cause an economic crisis as well. Because there are so there is so much that goes between our two countries. You know, the auto parts, that go to make the american cars that are built in mexico. All the food that is trafficking between the United States and mexico and Central America; you know, there is a real good possibility that if the president did close the border, it would disrupt the supply chains for car makers, it would trigger swift price increases for the grocery stores. Impact layoffs. And impact a lot of the states that the president won in 2016. I think he knows it i think he knows that there would be economic consequences. And this is just a play to get mexico and the triangle countries to do something. Because, its up to them. Ainsley Mick Mulvaney was talking about the problems. He blames the democrats because they wont give him additional money and additional people. They wont change the laws. We had a panel on last week or the week before all women Border Patrol agents and they were saying we need more people. We need more agents. What they are having to do is take agencies from the port of entries and place them in areas like the dessert where there arent any walls. They dont have the extra money to hire more people. Brian the county city manager said this to u. S. A. Today. Its staggering really. We have never seen anything like this before. The numbers dont lie. They are expecting over 100,000 illegals this month. 65,000st last month. Senator Lindsey Graham weighed in yesterday. What are we supposed to do . You have the Mexican Government allowing thousands of people walk all across mexico. Mexico could help more. They should help more. The triangle countries, 70 of the people coming here illegally come from three countries. We need those countries to help more. So, if the president feels like that the only way to control this problem is to move the people from the port of entry to the ungoverned spaces where we need a wall, i will support him. I hope we dont have to do that. To my democratic friends. Lets set down and change these laws that entice people that come here illegally. Steve good luck. Brian the president s tweem tweet over the weekend was 100 percent right. These are asylum laws that can be solved very quickly. They have to come together on this. The turning point was maybe jeh johnson when he said a couple days ago listen there is a crisis at our border. There is no question about it these numbers are really concerning. Steve yeah. Brian that gives democrats cover to say hey, we have no choice. After all the wall decision has been decided. Whether you like it or not its in the courts and its actually being built. Taking money and let them debate it in their committee meetings. The most controversial part for democrats was the wall. It shouldnt be controversial to stem the tide of illegals coming. In doesnt mean they are not great people. It means we have to set up a system makes it orderly to get in and out. Steve the problem is that would give democrats would be handing donald trump a win. Look, not only did he get a wall, he also got a wins a well. You know, i think if i had to guess it, would be easier to gte mexico and the triangle countries, to do something than to get their own our own congress to get together on the same page. Ainsley we have to see. Also in the news, the attorney general william barr said he is going to release the full Mueller Report in two weeks or sooner. The media is hitting him so hard for this. Bria an itt some of these headlines, fox said why barr is delaying in releasing the report is unreasonable and unprecedented. Politico said william bar cant hide the Mueller Report. Brian they said up an artificial deadline to deliver the 300 plus pages. Tomorrow now. He said no, i will get it to you in the middle of april. Doubling down is nadler no, im not backing off my date. You back off your date. He is not done yet. Have you got to redact and care about peoples security. There is portions of this just not going to be released as trey gowdy brought up earlier. Im not going to break the law because jerry nadler is frustrated that he didnt get the outcome he seems to want to get and thats proof what he believes the president skyrocketing in russia. Here is don jr. Yesterday, who sat down with on media buzz and said listen this whole coverage has been so skewed and they got major things wrong especially on my trump tower meeting. Watch. I think there were some people that tried to actually be fair. When they were actually fair, you would see the other side just try to obliterate that they lost their following. They get ratiod to heck. It became a Business Model for most media to attack donald trump. And to buy into this narrative. And if you didnt, you upset a lot of the people and risked your career. You risked other things. They did a terrible disservice to this country, to journalism as a profession. I think they have done irreparable damage to the faith that the average american is going to have in terms of mainstream journalism. I think its blight on our republic. On democracy, and on our constitution thats not going to come undone very quickly. Steve i think average american understands there have to be things that are going to be redacted. Grand jury testimony, things that are controversial and classified. They are okay with that. Democrats need some cover. They need to be able to say look, here is this 300, 400 page thing and a bunch of the stuff is blacked out. What secrets are they keeping from us. Ainsley the president feels vindicated though. He tweeted out last week Fake News Media going crazy suffering major breakdown zero credibility and corrupt. Brian bine a lot of you concerned about tax souse move out of the high tax state. Studio is here and we are coming to work every day. Steve lets move. Brian new yorks idea to raise more rev my overstretched because social programs are too big and unwe wouldy. They decided they have ways to make ends meet. Guess what cost all of us money in every way, shape, or form. Steve thats right. Screen left the toll tax. Thats the congestion pritszing, first in the nation between 11 and 12 per car. 25 per truck. A study says its going to cost 133s dollars for each 18wheeler hauling food and goods into manhattan. Ainsley you are going to get paid to sit in traffic. Or you are requesting to pay. Sorry, you are going to pay to sit in traffic. Steve if you can live here you live in a nice house. Brian a mansion tax manhattan homes that sell for 25 million or more. Steve 2 million. Brian they will go elsewhere. You will have less mansion owner, the. Ainsley there is going to be an Internet Sales tax. If you shop at any store in new york you cant take your goods home in plastic bags. They are banned. Steve single use plastic bag is gone. You can bring your own recycled bag. They are going to charge you 3 cents per paper bag but then the locals and the mayor here has already said im going to tack 2 more cents on. Nickel per paper bag. Brian here is how stupid this is when people come into the city, they are not doing it because they want to see a broadway show. They are going to deliver food, delivering goods, theyre helping out to hotels, delis, bodegas, guess what happens . They have very little margin of profit. They have to jack up their food prices on every day blue collar people who want to get a ham sandwich or turkey sandwich with mayo or a wrap. They will charge more for that, because it costs more to deliver that it will be cascading hit on everyone. And nobody gains. You get more money to pay into an abyss. Steve wrong. Do you know who gains . Florida. New yorkers are up here. Why am i paying. Brian and texas. Steve paying so much in taxes. Lets go to florida. Anyway, what do you think about that . Email us friends foxnews. Com. We are also on facebook. Ainsley jillian i shouldnt have bought all those mansions. Ainsley when you commute you have to come into the city above 60th.

Steve President Trump says the Republican Party will soon be known as the party of hurricane. So thi party of healthcare. Taking a look how to make the system better for everybody. Ainsley president for foundation of research of equal opportunity obek roy. Thank you for being with us. Ainsley, how are you . Ainsley im good. Thank you. Tell us about the healthcare system. What is broken first of all . A lot of things are broken. What comes down to at the end of the day is healthcare for america is too expensive for everybody. Thats why so many People Struggle with their bills. It is the federal government that has made it so expensive. Steve sure. My daughter has obamacare she cant afford to use it the premiums are through the roof. She never meets them. She winds out paying out of pocket. Thats now how its supposed to work. Avic, lawmakers may be watching right now what could be done to fix it. First thing to know when the president campaigned for president and became president he promised his Healthcare Program we would have healthcare for everybody. There are plans out there to do that. Bruce westman representative from arkansas put out a plan fair care act that tackles a lot of the problems with the healthcare system. Again, the things that make it so expensive. Tackle high hospital prices, high Prescription Drug costs and high cost of insurance both for obamacare and other people who get insurance through more traditional means. Ainsley what can republicans do to actually become the party of healthcare . You have to tackle hospitals. High cost of prescription give people more control over their own healthcare dollars so theyre not actually subject to all these regulations that drive up the cost of Health Insurance. Both for people on obamacare and not on obamacare. Steve when Bernie Sanders and others say we are for medicare for all, it sounds great, but is that doable . Well, what theyre supporting is not actually medicare. Its a single payer plan that will be very different from the way medicare works today. You know, about half of every class that graduates in 65 and gets on medicare today. They are choosing private insurance. They are not choosing government run insurance. The program called Medicare Advantage is the program where all the growth and medicare is Bernie Sanders plan would take that away from people. The real solution, i think the solution that republicans support, is one that builds on what Medicare Advantage does well, using private insurers to compete against each other so the quality of your coverage is better.
