4:00 am
tmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver. fox business. lou: good evening, my colleagues on this show and i have been wondering how long it would take before the dems and rhinos showed their true colors in daca negotiation with the white house. we can tell you tonight, the wait is ended. it took until today one week, for the dems and rhinos to overreach, and misjudge how much president trump would put up with in the name of bipartisan bargaining. rhino republican, senator jeff flake, also lived up to his name today, he and his colleague bob menendez declared a group made of these 6 senators, had come to
4:01 am
terms on a daca deal. >> we have an agreement, bipartisan group. we don't want to release details. >> i think we have along 6 of us an agreement on all of the core issues. >> is there an issue about getting it through a republican house and senate with the small group? >> we're in midst of vetting it with other colleagues. lou: whatever you would call it rump group seems serviceable. for 6, like-minded senator that decided being like-minded when they began, they are like-mined now. senator mendez, two months ago was facing trial for corruption. white house denying any deal on daca. >> there has not been a deal
4:02 am
reached yet. however, we still think we can get there, we're focused on trying to make sure that happens, the president has been clear about his priorities in the process, and we'll continue to work with members of the house and senate, republicans and democrats to make sure we try to get that deal done. lou: negotiator look foolish focusing on daca, while border with mexico is aflame. a record number of murders in mexico, cartel violence, raging throughout the nation. the u.s. state department has now barned americans that -- warned americans it is dangerous to travel to mexico, and state department issued highest warning for 5 states in mexico, second highest warning for all border states just south of our border. border security and wall are a critical matter of national security, burhinos and left wing of democratic party are
4:03 am
committed to ignoring it along our guests -- among our guests tonight, crisco beck, who said that daca amnesty must end. and trump keeping pressure on north korea even as he continues diplomacy to force kim jong-un to the negotiating table with south korea. trump administration ordering u.s. air force to deploy 3 nuclear capable b-2 stealth bombers to guam. >> and our top story, those 6 senators claiming they have reach aid deareached a deal on a era amnesty to protect young illegal immigrants from deportation. so-called gang of 6 is a really special bunch that you should know more about. senator jeff flake is not running for reelection because
4:04 am
he would not win. senator bob menendez, was facing corruption charges two months ago. on trial. senators lindsey graham, dick durban and michael bennett, they are former members of the sad game of 8 group that was pushing amnesty and luckily. cory gardner a long time supporter of amnesty, they had concensus before they began, they claim a consensus, among a group of like-minded advocates of amest iny an amnesty and opet sad, and yet at same time lil hilarious. trump rejecting the bipartisan compromise with colorful language in an oval office meeting, our correspondent live
4:05 am
in capitol hill. reporter: this is 6 senators saying they support this agreement, but it would take 60 senators to pass something in the senate, there is plenty of work ahead, they have been meeting for 4 months trying to come up with a compromise on children brought to country illegally by their parents, they say, they are working to build support with their colleagues. >> we have no agreement with the president. we didn't go there to say would you agree. this is our deal, would you consider this. he challenged to us come up with an idea. we have come up with an idea. reporter: mark short from white house said there is no deal, and majority whip corn an welcomes. but it not settled by a handful of people, and law makers will likely need more time for a final deal. >> president is willing to grant legal protection in return for adequate security and ending
4:06 am
extended family chain migration, and diversity lottery, there no change. reporter: top democrats are trying to link addressing status of those young people with budget and government funding talks. and government runs out of money in 8 days. speaker ryan acknowledges a continuing resolution will likely be needed. >> we're working with our counterparts on getting a cap agreement, they will need time to be able to write an actual am nomnibus. >> there no point in having another cr unless we have an agreement on daca and funding. reporter: leading some to mace e that pelosi is pushing for a government shut down over an artificial deadline on daca. lou: that sure sounded like that is what she is doing, tying it directly to the finding talks,
4:07 am
that say dangerous thing to do. whether republican or democrat. reporter: no question. the democrats feel like they have a lot of leverage, they feel that democrat votes will be needed too pass a budget agreement, and continuing resolution to keep lights on. so they are trying to ice that leverage to -- trying to use that leverage to force a daca deal, you have this fundamental challenge heed as lawmakers try to work out some fiscal issues, by throwing a very complicated and controversial issue, like immigration into the mix. lou: mike thank you very much. mike emmanuel from capitol hill. left, rhinos are pushing what would be a disastrous deal. senator lindsey graham and dick durban now proposing on cut visa lottery program by 50%, the president wants foolishness of a lootry, visa lo lottery.
4:08 am
to end, and also -- their compromise would give president's $1.5 billion for the border wall. dems and rhinos, are insulting president trump as he extended a hand to them to work out a deal, that would work in my opinion, the dems and those briano rubyo republicans are hardly worth the president's time. our first guest, said it is shocking that am moste i amnestg talked about after american people in 2016 made it clear, we elected a president whose top issue campaign trail was about the wall and no amnesty, joining us tonight, chris coback. representing citizens of cities,
4:09 am
states and cases involving illegal immigration, chris, good to see you, very idea that this would be response from six senators, you know them all. i mean this is farceical, insulting, an absurd response. >> it is outrageous. i agree with all you said. look, the president said back in campaign he was against any amnesty. i think regular watchers your show know that amnesty is a bad policy, they are very damage could. you look at daca policy, average age is 24, these are illegal aliens in their 20s and 30s, we would legalize almost a million of thi them to compete t our kids, our age group have a 9% unemployment rate.
4:10 am
so, our kids, our americans in that age group are struggling. to legallize this contingent of daca aliens to compete again our own is bad policy. i would only consider that, you never heard me say i think amnesty would be okay. if that is all it was, no additional bells and whistles, but there are a lot of law enforcement things to county balance it i think in addition to what president mentioned at tuesday meeting you have to have mandatory deverify nationwide. maybe we could stomach that bad policy then. lou: president to his great credit brought in bob goodlot, chairman of judiciary committee, author of the bill that you referenced.
4:11 am
and senator tomca tom cotton. i cannot tell you how disturbing it is the 6 senators would try to run a game so insulting to president of united states whether his name is obama, bush or trump, that is an insult to the office. this is disgusting they would even play that kind of game. >> starting position should be what president laid out. it -- for these six to say, well, we'll take a souped up daca amest in w amnesty with adl amnesty tacked and give you a tiny morsal of what you asked for. lou: and diane feinstein saying
4:12 am
suddenly, we have a great deal, we will take a clean daca deal. everything that we have asked for, plus, we'll give you comprehensive immigration reform, which is same group demanded for last 12 years. that is extraordinary. >> it really was. and i just, it shows you, i think senator feinstein had maybe been encouraged by republicans in room saying we want to do daca. but my point is we don't have to do daca, this is bad for country, we would only consider it under a circumstances where there was a very good deal for the american people, those six senators that have been describing that deal does not come close as being anything good for america. lou: this president has put forth america first, how those 6 senators could imagine they could sell such snaw nonsense te
4:13 am
president is beyond me, chris kobach, thank you. >> thank you, lou. >> we're coming right back, much more ahead. stay with us. >> walmart boosting minimum wage, and handing out bonuses. who made that possible? president trump. >> walmart is latest company to make such an announcement, direct result of tax cut act, they join over 130 other companies across the nation who have already given such relief. lou: we take up the soaring economy under this president with ed rollins. >> two days after rivers of mud reek havoc on southern california, rescuers are still searching for survivors, we will have a full update on the have a full update on the devastating toll of the ooooooh snap!! every truck guy has their own way of conveying powerful. yeeaaahhh boy. kind of looks like a monster coming to eat ya. holy smokes. that is awesome.

4:17 am
lou: trump trump announced it the open door for states, medicaid enrollment, is soared to 75 million people. almost one out of every five americans is on medicaid, spending 30% of all state
4:18 am
budget, number of working age, able body adult have quadrupled since the beginning of the program. crushing taxpayers. each year shelling out approximately $135 billion to cover the costs incurred. california senator diane feinstein offering up one of the weakest, rationallation reason for endangering a congressional investigation, saying she leaked transcript of fusion gps founder glen testimony without approval of chairman grassley, for a simple the reason. she was not feeling well.
4:19 am
>> one regret i have, i should have spoken with senator grassley before, i don't make an excuse but i had a bad cold, maybe that slowed down my mental facilities a little bit. lou: joining us tonight, ed rollins, great to have you here. let's turn to diane feinstein. after looking at this transcript, i am glad she did it to be honest, i think too much of this investigation into the nonsense has been behind closed-doors, american people need to demand that every chairman, turnover whatever the heck they have got. >> i could not agree more, i think that premise of having hearing thats open to public is let voters know what is going on. so much of these have been behind closed-doors, witnesses behind closed-doors, once in a great while some confidential
4:20 am
information you don't want disclosed but not general premise of these hears. diane feinstein will see her cold, and inability to pass on. that is about the weakesti weake i have seen, she has been chairman. lou: honest, she was not a very good chairman. spied on senate intelligence committee chaired by feinstein. >> i did note say she was a good chairman, but i stated shy was a chairman, she doesn't the rules and regulation. lou: i took it farther. let's go to the bull, six senators, three rhinos three left wingers, next thing you
4:21 am
know they have reached concensus on of all things illegal immigration, specifically daca. and stand before cameras talk about menendez and flake about a great accomplishment. >> for them to agree is great, you need 58 more members to go with them, i don't see that, i think, this "gang of 8", gang of sict6, they need to let the chan run the committees. lou: let's talk about comp comprehensive. important to talk about sequence of whatever is in that comp comprehensive. >> security first. lou: president saying, not build the wall first, saying give us the funds for it. >> only problem with all those
4:22 am
things a lot of promises get made, when you deal with money. lou: they are lying. >> it never happens, i have watched this immigration battle before, a lot of money was allocateed and never spent. we need to guarantee this border will be secure. more secure than today. i think that president and his people have done an effective job of reducing the numbers of illegals coming across. lou: it has reversed your now seeing those rebels back to obama era numbers, and as same time, mexico, which is source of most of the meth, marijuana, coke and heroin that enter, this president to his credit, the law and order of presidential candidate, and man who is brought the opiate crisis to attention on campaign trail, i mean. it is the border with mexico is as i said is aflame.
4:23 am
filled with violence, corruption, they are talking about so-called dreamers. >> there is a war going on over that border, peopl more people d on the other side of the border last year than the whole vietnam war. lou: how do you explain their talking about daca? >> daca is the passionate issue that democrats can go out say, the poor and disadvantaged. they are always about increasing. but the reality the young people came in illegally, they need to be dell with as illegals. and they may benefit long-term, but short-term they need be to treated like everyone el. everyone else. lou: ed rollins thank you. >> thank you. lou: after the state department issues a travel warning for mexico because of run away
4:24 am
violence, murder, and cartels, cast your vote on twitter at lou dobbs, follow leo twittely me o. rescue effort continue in southern california, where 17 people were killed. 8 are now missing. following a series of deadly mudslides, a driver in burbank was caught on video driving for his life. trying to out run that rushing river. mud and debris. running down a local street, on wall street, stocks closed at record highs, dow surging 206 to new record. the s&p also new record up 19, nasdaq up 58, all 3 indexes at record highs, volume on big tujunga order to picking up 3.6 billion shares walmart. raising its minimum wage, and givingism employees bonuses

ing. lou: lawmakers delivering a big victory for the president and the american people, by the was legislation crafted largely behind closed doors.
4:30 am
futile efforts to repeal and replace obamacare took 20 days and was futile in the end. on fisa congress held a number of meetings that was derailed by the comey firing and the russian collusion probe. and on daca, just one hearing. but not a single legislator was listening to anybody but their donors. the president held a meeting that lasted 55 minutes and unfolded on camera. the president debating and negotiating lived with lawmakers that american viewers watched live on television. the president center stage driving the discussion and debate. talk about america the way it's supposed to operate. this is president trump at his
4:31 am
best. now speaker ryan, senate majority leader chuck schumer and nancy pelosi can decide whether they want to join the president in his efforts. have ryan and mcconnell lived too long in the swamp? president trump is make it less difficult for them. to them i would say just follow mr. trump, in that way, wide success. john adams said there is danger from all men. the only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to
4:32 am
endanger the publisher i. the house of representatives voted to renew the foreign surveillance program despite privacy concerns from the commander-in-chief. >> the president doesn't want to choose between security and civil liberties. he wants to do both. he wants to do both. lou: this extreme extreme (daniel jacob) for every hour that you're idling in your car, you're sending about half a gallon of gasoline up in the air. that amounts to about 10 pounds of carbon dioxide every week. (malo hutson) growth is good, but when it starts impacting our quality of air and quality of life, that's a problem. so forward-thinking cities like sacramento
4:33 am
are investing in streets that are smarter and greener. the solution was right under our feet. asphalt. or to be more precise, intelligent asphalt. by embedding sensors into the pavement, as well as installing cameras on traffic lights, we will be able to analyze the flow of traffic. then that data runs across our network, and we use it to optimize the timing of lights, so that travel times are shorter. who knew asphalt could help save the environment? ♪

4:38 am
4:39 am
lou: i think in both history and law in your counsel, but there was evidence of a crime in the case of bill clinton. there is no evidence of any crime in this instance. for him to sit down with the special counsel wrinkles. i'm being visceral, not legal. i can't imagine sitting down with a special counsel when you have not done a damn thing wrong nor dose have evidence of a crime.
4:40 am
gregg: what i would worry about as a layers an obstruction entrapment by mueller during the course of the interview, begin asking him, why did you really ask the fbi director james comey about going easy on flynn, what did you really mean when you sat down with lester holt and began talking about the firing of james comey. was it for a reason other than your constitutional duty of doing so? and it's not obstruction to do what the president did? firing comey. lou: it's horrifying to think about what could happen there. gregg: he could fall into a trap. his top prosecutor weaponnizes
4:41 am
the law and tries to gain convictions in the absence of evidence and the law. that's the guy i don't trust the most of. lou: roll the video and watch as this in the biker bikes to the top of the french alps. then he rides his bike down the mountain. this just isn't right in any way, shape, fashion. this makes we feel somewhat cowardly, and i don't like that kind of video. up next the military deploying bombers near north korea as president trump offers some new words for kim jong-un. fred fleitz joins us to take up tensions with north korea and tensions with north korea and how it may be that we ooooooh snap!!
4:42 am
every truck guy has their own way of conveying powerful. yeeaaahhh boy. kind of looks like a monster coming to eat ya. holy smokes. that is awesome. strong. you got the basic, and you got the beefy. i just think it looks mean. incredible. no way. start your year off strong a new chevy truck. get a total value of over $9,600 on this silverado all star when you finance with gm financial. find new roads at your local chevy dealer.
4:43 am
4:44 am
4:45 am
lou: the deployment of two stealth bombers to guam puts
4:46 am
them near north korea just days after talks were held with south korea and kim jong-un's regime. lou: the president said i probably have a very good relationship with kim jong-un. i have relationships with people. the president declining to comments on whether he talked with the north korean leader. fred fleitz, it's great to see you. let's start with the b-52s. it seems odd in the contexts of the olympics and all of the apparent ostensible advance in the rape between north and south korea and presumably the united states to see the dispatch of the b-2s. >> the president is sending an
4:47 am
important to message to kim jong-un. talk all you want, talk is good, but i'm not letting up the pressure. i have to denuclearize. they are not testing nuclear weapons or firing missiles. the fact that you are talking doesn't known we are going to let up the pressure. lou: another area where pressure has not been applied, that's in reluctance to certify the iranian nuclear deal. the president seems perplexed by iran and we seem to be trying to find you are footing there. >> this is an important point for the trump presidency. the president showed tremendous leadership and moral clarity on the protests. he has to honor the protesters by killing this fraudulent deal.
4:48 am
it can't be fixed. the only the way out is john bolton's plan to kill the deal. the minor changes being discussed on the hill would extend this front. president trump honor the protesters, please kill this deal. lou: there are reports that general mcmasters is working hard with other members in the administration trying to save it. there is obviously some tension within the administration or perhaps just a difference of view. it doesn't have to be anything beyond that, about how to proceed. >> there are two people the president can listen to. mcmaster and tillerson. they have been against the president's iran policy since his first day in office. then there is john bolton who has sales been with the president on this issue and has a plan to get out of the deal.
4:49 am
it's a no-brainer. side with ambassador bolton. that's the way to go. lou: as far as the status quo seems to be what we are looking at. what do you make of it? >> this is a fraudulent deal, it doesn't stop iran's push suit of nuclear weapons. we know iran has spent billions of dollars on terrorism, on the military, on sending troops into syria, sending missiles to the houthi rebels, and the iranian people are suffering, they can't get enough to eat. some are selling their kidneys to raise funds. it's obscene to continue this deal to give the mullahs money
4:50 am
that they use to sponsor terrorism and harm their own people. lou: open-border dems and rinos call for daca amnesty. stay with us. what's going on with these building a website in under an hour is easy with gocentral... ...from godaddy! in fact, 68% of people who have built their... ...website using gocentral, did it in under an hour, and you can too. build a better website - in under an hour. with gocentral from godaddy.

4:53 am
lou: in our online poll we
4:54 am
asked, do you believe the future of daca should be in the hands of president trump and not left-wing judges. 97% of you say yes. the state department issuing strict do not travel advisories for american citizens thinking of going to mexico. putting out that warning because of high crime rates with drug cartels. it's elevated to level four status. wars between rival drug cartels make these areas battlefields where kidnappings and hijackings and murder are part of life in mexico. generally ignored in washington. joining me, gina loudon and mark
4:55 am
simone. gina, everybody is talking about daca, it seems in washington, while mexico is a narco state in the grip of the deadliest violence in its history. >> it is, lou. i can speak personally to this because i just moved to florida from san diego, california where i could literally see the tijuana mountains behind me. i spent a lot of time in mexico. it has gotten more dangerous. the government is very corrupt. people know it. those dangers bleed across the border and cost american lives. that's why this border wall is so importantr important. lou: the president is the only president in american history to say he's going to stop the
4:56 am
cartels. the majority of meth am get means, cocaine and heroin that enter this country. >> what is the point of inspecting all the car go to port if the border is open. he's a builder at heart. if you know him, that's the most of important thing. lou: and he keeps his promises. >> this is a chance to build one of the great landmarks for america that will be there forever. he knows that and he will build that wall. lou: we watched six senators, three left-wing dems and three rino republicans come together and ballyhoo that six of them have come together on daca and amnesty which has been their view throughout. >> they muddied the issue.
4:57 am
there is a difference between immigration and illegal immigration. the way they are trying to confuse the public is by not make any distinction between daca and the dreamers. daca involves 700,000 people. those are people we know who are deferred, they came here as children. dreamers is anyone who dreams of getting free stuff from taxpayers in america. that could involve tens of millions of people, lou. this is not the same thing as daca. we need to make these distinctions. >> dreamers are still in their country standing in line waiting to get here. lou: the idea that this senate, this congress can make a deal with the president, he has
4:58 am
extend a hand to make that possible. he's willing to bargain and negotiate, yet what he gets met with immediately is from senator dianne feinstein, an offer to have a clean daca and we'll take up border security later. precisely what every president has run into since 1986. >> she is a nice woman, maybe 90, 95, but she is trying. she means well. she has got a cold. that is the darnedest thing i have ever heard for leaking documents. >> he has a lot of lyndon johnson in him. he's a deal maker. lou: to me he was at his best sitting with the folks in the cabinet room that he brought in to talk about daca. and he was in the center ring of the circus that unfolded before
4:59 am
cameras talking issues, negotiating. we haven't seen that of our congress or senate which is too bad. >> that's because he has never been afraid of being completely transparent because he has nothing to hide, unlike the swamp that has everything to hide. complete with diane fine tine putting an explanation point on at swawnl's willingness to hide everything by using the excuse that she has a cold as her reason for releasing documents. with congress today and this meeting of these six deciding they will decide everything. >> if she gets bronchitis, nuclear codes will be released.
5:00 am
lou: that's it for us tonight. tomorrow night, steve forbes, pastor robert jeffress. >> workers and their families will receive larger paychecks starting in february, we ar estimating that 90% of workers are going to see increase in take-home pay. cheryl: breaking news this morning, tax reform gets real as paychecks grow and wal-mart join it is tax cut bonus club. lauren: deal or no deal? bipartisan group of senators hammer out daca deal but the white house says, not so fast, all of it sidetracked by vulgar comment from the president. >> stocks getting new record highs yesterday, today we will get earnings from jpmorgan and wells fargo. futures pointing to nicely higher open, dow up in the
