here with reaction as texas governor greg abbott. governor, i think texas, interestingly -- you see how our national guard to being treated, are you going to bring them home if they are going to be sleeping on cold concrete in the middle of winter in a parking garage? because they deserve better. >> sean, these are men and women as governor who i have deployed to help secure our border, deployed to help people overcome hurricane harvey. i've deployed them in communities across texas during protest the summer and i deploy them to protect the texas capital itself. these are men and women who should be respected and not denigrated. these are men and women who have served in afghanistan and overseas and yet they are forced to sleep in a parking garage. and that is why sean i have ordered the national guard from texas to be on the first plan plane back home. i was requested today for them to be able to stay longer and i said no. they should be on the first plane back home to texas and those are the governors orders. >> sean: let's talk mo

ainsley: greg abbott so i'm bringing my guys back they are not going to be treated this way. one person said a parking garage is for a car not to house our soldiers. pete: who are they guarding right now? there are discussions about how many to keep for how long? i have heard nancy pelosi want 14,000 troops for six more months has been part of the discussion. to say do what? they just guarded a virtual inauguration with 2 two divisions. ainsley: there was not a problem. we are grateful it to these individual who were there many of the lawmakers went and shook their hands and served them pizza. one guy told politico and then within 24 hours they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of the parking garage. we feel up credibly betrayed. these are individuals that are given up so much to serve our country. i guarantee if you sat down with them they would say we would could it all over again if we had to. steve: absolutely. one of the things -- one of the soldiers said to the "the washington post" and is quoted in this morning's paper, is that apparently covid is

those counties are now going 80% for republicans, for donald trump, for greg abbott, the governor, ted cruz and so forth. the parties have switched appeal. one of the things we see, there's almost a kind of newton ian second law of motion. for each action, there's a certain amount of reaction. the very policies and stances and styles that gave among upscale voters will lose you votes among downscale voters. because where they have differences of opinion, differences of basic cultural attitudes. and the kind of politics we have now and going on since 1988 and the changes since 1988 in the movement towards democrats among upscale, and republicans among downscale is a result of values to a large extent. it's not because voters in the lower income areas want to have tax cuts as an important thing. it is because they feel that the more conservative cultural values are more in line with the ways they have lived or the ways they are trying to live their lives and the way they help people in their communities will live their lives. that is why they have gone that way. walter: do you see a futu

here to talk about it is the state's governor greg abbott. honor to having on the show today, sir. i think across the nation people have been fairly disappointed after they were so hopeful that the vaccine would be ready to go right after christmas, and then it just seemed to stall in many places especially here in new york and new jersey. in texas, you have had a lot more progress, what was your approach? >> well, dana, it is great to visit with you again. what texas was able to do, remembering this and we have only been providing vaccines for about four weeks, in the first week which was the week of christmas, we were slow in rolling them out at the same time. however, we were able to make two key pivots that allow texas to achieve what we have done now. importantly, as of today, we have vaccinated more than 1.1 million texans, and equally important more than 61% of the vaccines allocated to us have been administered to texas. how are we able to do that? two key things. one is we change this strategy before other states and before the united states began recommending that we begi

griff: this vetting move has offended texas governor greg abbott who tweeted this, quote: this is the most offensive thing i have ever heard. no one should ever question the loyalty or professionalism of the texas national guard. i authorized more than 1,000 to go to d.c. i'll never do it again if they are disrespected like this. meanwhile, "the washington post" reporting this morning that the fbi has warned law enforcement agencies of a potential threat from lope wolves and adherence to the far right group queue qa. the show must go on we saw celebration preps in full swing. a field of flags lit on the national mall and parade was rehearsed. that parade, unlike ones in the past, will be virtual like so many other things during the pandemic. finally, that building there behind me, well, we are on . ainsley: unbelievable what will he said. need to be vetted in if you are in the national guard and voted for trump. we it dan bongino on. i was protecting president obama. i didn't agree with him politically when i was in the secret service. i would have taken a bullet for him and i would d

governor greg abbott and attorney ken paxton responded to the ruling telling restaurants they can stay open. rachel. rachel: thank you, jason. california is kicking off the new area by implementing some of the most outrageous laws. here to break down some of them is writer for th "the washington examiner" tiana lowe. one of the rules that you say or one of the laws coming into effect here in the new year is the demilitarization of police uniforms in california. tell us what they want to do and why they are doing it and why it's a bad idea. >> so homicides are up 30% in los angeles. they are up 2% in san francisco, which is the second densest city in the country. they are up 37% in oakland. and naturally that means that california is focused on making sure no one is triggered by what the police uniforms look like right now. this is not something backed in any evidence in terms of sort of descalating situations with the police this is nothing to reduce the number of nonviolent felons in california prisons. and so it's a great way for californians to virtue signal without actually doing a
