two-point conversion. helped his team win. dana pary ino. here's shep. >> it's noon on the west coast. 3:00 in d.c. where president trump is laying down the law on immigration telling lawmakers if they want to protect dreamers, he wants to build the wall and hire thousands more border agents. that's just to get started. for democrats, the wall itself is a nonstarter. now the fight. the presidents will claiming the republican senator bob corker of tennessee begged for an endorsement. senator corker said that's not how it went down. the senator is blasting back calling the white house an adult day care center and warning that president trump could be putting on a path to world war iii. and fires in california wine
12:01 pm
country. the flames blocking some escape routing. >> this fire is explosive. we're looking at a 20,000 acre fire. >> shepard: now people are hurt. 1,500 buildings destroyed and evacuations number 20,000. the firefighters putting their lives on the line. let's get to it. good monday afternoon. president trump sending lawmakers his priorities for a plan to protect the so-called dreamers. the hundreds of thousands of immigrants whose parents brought them to the united states without documents. as i mentioned, the list includes president trump's long promised wall along the southern border, also new rules to make it easier to deport children entering the united states and 10,000 more immigration officers. it doesn't end there. the white house was -- has not said whether the president considering each item

12:02 pm
nonnegotiable. president trump said he would end president obama's program that protected the dreamers and gave congress six months to come up with a plan. democrats are calling the list impossible. chuck schumer and the house minority leader nancy pelosi say the president is going back on an agreement that they made with him when they all had dinner last month. together the two write, "we told the president at our meeting that we were open to reasonable border security measures alongside the dream act. this list goes so far beyond what is reasonable. the list includes the wall, which was explicitly ruled out. if the president was serious about protecting the dreamers, his staff has not made a good faith effort to do so." so where will the negotiations go? can the president get it done without the democrats? rich edson live at the white house with more. what else does the president say
12:03 pm
that he wants here? >> the president describes these as a list of priorities. it represents and overhaul of u.s. immigration policy. in addition to thousands of federal agents to go after immigration, it also calls for 300 federal prosecutors to handle immigration cases and increase penalties for those that enter illegally and a new green card system and requires employers to use e-verify. also on top of this, shep, the administration is calling to deny block grants and federal grants to sanctuary cities. the president in a letter to congressional leaders said the immigration reform must create more jobs, higher wages and greater security for americans now and for future generations. the reforms outlined the enclosure are necessary to ensure prosperity, opportunity and safety for every member of our national family.
12:04 pm
administration officials argue the provisions address the root causes of illegal immigration and should be included in anything that addresses daca, shep. >> shepard: and the democrats are against it. can the republicans do it without democrats? >> he will need democrats. when you look at what this is, it's unclear whether it's a list of demands or whether it's a starting point for negotiations. democrats have roundly rejected what they've seen from the white house. joaquin castro from the hispanic caucus writes in a statement "congress should rejected this warped anti-immigration policy wish list. the white house wants to use democrats as bargaining chips the achieve the deportation and detention goals. the trump administration proposals lack basic humanity." there were some democrats with the president initially signalling he was willing to
Check
12:05 pm
work with democrats to extend daca. add this on to the list of things that the president wants congress to do. they have already failed to overhaul the immigration system this decade and now you can add this to tax reform and the other issues. >> shepard: thanks, rich. now the very public feud between president trump and bob corker who supported the president during the election. last week the tennessee senator said secretary of state rex tillerson and other top administration officials helped separate our country from chaos. yesterday president trump took to twitter to tear into the senator who recently announced he will not run for re-election. president trump tweeted, "senator bob corker begged me to endorse him for re-election in tennessee. i said no. he dropped out. he said he couldn't win without my endorsement. he also wanted to be secretary
Check
12:06 pm
of state. i said no thanks. he's largely responsible for the horrendous iran deal. he said i would expect corker to be a negative voice and stand in the way of our agenda. he didn't have the guts to run." senator corker said none of that is true. in response to the president, senator corker wrote on twitter "it's a shame the white house has become an adult day care center. someone obviously missed their shift this morning." president trump doubled down and tweeted, "bob corker gave us the iran deal. that's about it. we need health care, tax cuts and reform. we need people that can get the job done." for the record, senator corker didn't support president obama's nuclear deal with iran but he didn't prevent it from coming to vote. senator corker denied he begged the president for an endorsement. he said the president urged him to run again and promised to endorse him. in an interview with "the new
12:07 pm
york times" yesterday, senator corker accused the president of treating his office like a reality show and said his reckless actions could put the united states on the path to world war iii. this is bigger than a twitter squabble. senator corker said the president hurt u.s. efforts in negotiations with other countries and without saying the words suggested that the president of his own political party is not fit for office and the majority of his caucus knows what they're dealing with. corker is the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. if he wants to, he can hold hearings to expose the president in whatever way he sees fit. he can become an enemy of the white house. the question is will he and to what end. mike emanuel is live on capitol hill with more. what about it? >> shep, that's what makes a lot of these republicans uncomfortable that they'll be asked to take a side in this squabble. some will call it a distraction. others worry about the impact on the legislative priorities going
12:08 pm
forward if this feud continues. mitch mcconnell defended bob corker calling him a value member of the senate republican caucus. mcconnell said that corker is on the budget committee and will be a particularly important player as they move the budget to the floor next week. corker is a major player on critical issues like north korea, iran and other hot spots around the world. a key member of the president's team down played this dispute. >> i enjoy working with senator corker. it will be fun to work with him now that he's announced he's not running for re-election. that unleashes him to do and say whatever he wants to say. but i don't think we're that close to chaos anyway. >> an attack through the media in this case, "the new york times," could be designed to get under the president's skin, shep. >> shepard: what are other republicans saying about this feud? >> they're noting it's been a frustrating time. a lot of republicans including
12:09 pm
president and folks here ran on getting big things done like getting rid of obamacare and they're predicting over time these two will figure out a way to make it happen. >> i think in the end, they'll come together. senator corker recognizes as the president does the middle class of this country needs to see tax cuts. we need to see repeal and replace and deliver on our promises. >> considering a tax on john mccain, lisa murkowski and jeff flake have not produced results, expect second guessing about the wisdom in going after corker. >> shepard: mike emanuel, thank you. republican lawmakers could not change obamacare. so it looks like the president is planning a move by himself. an executive order that could affect the insurance prices we pay and the coverage we get. details on this report coming up from the fox news deck on this monday afternoon. growing up, we were german.

12:12 pm
>> shepard: republicans in congress could not repeal and replace obamacare, so now the white house is reportedly putting the finishing touches on an executive order, one that would let some people band together and buy insurance across state lines. the "wall street journal" with which this network shares common ownership, first wrote about this story. the journal reports that the order would target americans that buy their own coverage or get it by working at a small
12:13 pm
company. it could give more choices to people who are healthy. the analysts tell the "wall street journal," it could drive up prices for people that are sick. let's bring in a.b. stoddard from real clear politics and is on sirius xm 124. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> shepard: a new crack at healthcare on some level. >> well, i think it's well-intentioned. obviously these marketplaces without a repair job, there was supposed to be repeal and replace and make some fixes. without a repair job, this law is still -- this program is in real trouble. insurance companies have left it. others are in the exchanges are threatening to leave. not to mention they don't have good choices. they're really high and threatening to get higher. if you look at what are some of the next steps after these
12:14 pm
failures to repeal the law, there is -- there's a good faith effort here to try to reduce prices. that's a great goal. this executive order seems to be intended to do that. what it's going to do as you point out is tip the balance again away from people that have pre-existing conditions so those remaining in these exchanges -- this is what obamacare was meant to prevent -- will be in a pool of sicker people paying higher prices with fewer and fewer choices. almost to the point for some people where their care an illnesses will become unaffordable. so while this will appeal to some people, it comes with a price. if voters next year, shep, look the republicans and say you did this, you did that but you didn't really overhaul this law and make better changes and now i'm still in it, things are much more expensive and i have fewer choices, that is going to be a political liability on their shoulders. >> shepard: on the feud with bob
12:15 pm
corker, we know what bob corker has said and how president trump responded. in this big picture, what is bob corker doing here? >> bob corker is hoping, as he said when he made comments about six weeks ago, saying that the president needs to exhibit more stable and competent leadership. as he did a few days ago saying general mattis, secretary tillerson and general kelly were keeping the country from chaos is trying one more time to signal through the media, which is another way to talk to trip -- >> shepard: so he's talking to trump? >> yes. he admitted that in his interview. the problem is, president trump doesn't like to be told that he's being reigned in or he should do something a different way and god forbid he's being babysat. this is the way this talk makes the president feel. so you know, someone like bob corker, what he's done is opened
12:16 pm
sort of a permanent discussion every time the president does something erratic or impulsive about whether or not he's fit to hold this office. it's the first senator to come out and broach this subject. it puts questions on other republicans about whether this is an emergency situation. that's going to be hard for them. >> shepard: he's not to first to say these things. he's the first to say them on the record as he pointed out in his interviews and journalists have heard these things will attest. what this brings next is very much an open question, because we can look historically. sometimes when you do things like this, you become low marco or you become the staunch conservative whose father suddenly was involved in a murder. there's -- this is perilous territory. >> right. i don't think bob corker cares at this point, shep. interestingly enough, people don't know this unless they've
12:17 pm
paid close attention. bob corker put in the time to make a relationship with jared kushner, the son-in-law, to help him on his job of solving middle east peace. he's the chairman of the foreign relations committee. he spent time with ivanka trump. he was not a trump supporter initially but really helped come at a significant time in the campaign and in the summer of 16 and endorsed trump and lent him some credibility. he put in time in this relationship once he was president hoping it could work and he could guide and advise. he's, as you can tell, given up. i don't think he cares how many nicknames he gets floated around. he's not re-running but he's raising this question about his colleagues, whether or not they can really stay silent anymore on the president being an impulsive person that doesn't have a strategy for a grave situation like north korea. like i said, that will put pressure not only on people in the west wing around the president, but on his republican

>> federal investigators taking another look now through the home of las vegas gunman. a week after the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history. they say they're rechecking that house as they try to uncover why he murdered 58 and wounded hundreds more. with that in mind, the las vegas review journal newspaper reports investigators spent hours questioning the killer's brother over the weekend. we don't yet know if he told them anything of help. and we're also hearing from the officers that first stormed the shooter's hotel room. they told "60 minutes" the inside looked like a gun store. >> shell casings all over the floor. i could smell the gunpowder that went off in the room. we were tripping over guns, long guns. there were so many. >> that many? >> yes. >> shepard: an arsenal.

12:32 pm
this morning president trump tweeted, our country has been unsuccessfully dealing with north korea for 25 years giving billions of dollars around getting nothing. policy didn't work. and over the weekend, he tweeted that only one thing will work when dealing with north korea. he didn't specifically say what that one thing is. north korea sometimes test weapons on major holidays that country today marks the anniversary of the ruling party's creation. it is unclear thus far whether the dictator there has anything planned. gordon change is here, author of "nuclear show down, north korea takes the world." you say our actions may disarm him. what are you talking about? >> president trump has a september 21 executive order. the executive order says anybody that does business with north korea does not do business with
12:33 pm
the united states. this is a ratcheting up of pressure that started in the obama administration about a year ago. we also saw it on june 29th of this year when president severed a chinese bank for money laundering. so there's been a series of actions that means that north korea won't get money for nukes or gift politics. that is kim jong-un buying the support of people around him with mercedes, rolexes and luxury items. >> shepard: how do these presidential tweets help things? >> they don't help. the one thing i'm concerned with, the president has a good strategy of isolating north korea. we don't talk about that. he should be saying every day to countries around the world, cut off your flow of funds to north korea. instead, we're talking about insults, threats, tweets. kim jong-un, the ruler of north korea, they trade these comments about each other's mental
12:34 pm
condition. yes, it's interesting but the president is feeding that when he should be actually talking about his policies. >> shepard: the state department has said and analysts say from the government that they believe he is rationale on some level. that he does not have mental impairments, if you will. i mean, that is what they say, right? >> trump or kim jong-un? >> shepard: i'm talking about kim jong-un. that is what they're saying. i don't know how that changes the calculation with how you deal with this. >> he's very rationale. it's -- >> shepard: he is rationale? kim jong-un? >> kim jong-un. he's operating on a series of incentives that are different than what we think he should be operating under. when you're the north korean leader, you have to balance the efforts in the regime. here hostile to outside forces. that's been the mantra of the leadership. now they have nukes, they have
12:35 pm
missiles and they can upset the status quo in much more consequential ways than they could before. >> shepard: when kim jong-un hears only one thing will work and it's clear that one thing is not diplomacy because the president said it hasn't worked for 25 years, how is that taken? how if at all does it change the equation? >> there's one way for anyone, including kim jong-un to take that. that is basically trump is saying only war is going to work. that is contradictory. the president has this really good policy, as i mentioned about strangling the regime. it can work over time. but you know, trump is not saying it will. what he's talking about is the use of force. there's too much war talk. too much war talk in washington and pyongyang and that is creating a dynamic that could take us beyond where we need to be. >> shepard: the better talk is, other nations you must isolate. if you don't, we won't deal with you, which is the policy. >> a lot of countries have cut off their economic ties with
12:36 pm
north korea. for instance, chile, they're selling wine to the north koreans. we shouldn't be buying chilean wine. what we should say to them, you can't sell anything to the u.s. if you want to sell something to north korea. that what trump should be tweeting about if he's going to tweet about anything. >> shepard: good to talk to you, gordon chang. thanks. >> thanks. >> shepard: it's not just facebook. russian operatives bought advertisements through google to interfere with the 2016 election in the united states. the russians spent tens of thousands trying to spread false information on youtube, g-mail and other google sites, this comes after facebook revealed a russian company linked to the kremlin bought more than 3,000 political ads. trace gallagher live with more. what else are we learning act these advertising buys on google? >> shep, it appears the google ad buys are different from the russian company that bought the
12:37 pm
ads on facebook. it's a sign the russian effort to spread misinformation was deeper than we knew. some of the ads touted donald trump and bernie sanders and others had an anti immigration message. google down played the problem of russian meddling. because congress pressed the tech companies, google launched an investigation and they found the problem to be more severe. it's unclear what percentage of google's audience the russian advertising reached. facebook said the russian ads reached maybe 5% of its audience, shep. >> shepard: trace, there's a new e-mail concerning the trump tower meeting last year between donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer. what's with that? >> you recall the russian lawyer met with donald trump jr. in june of 2016, jared kushner, and then campaign manager paul
12:38 pm
manafort were also on hand. a music promoter set up the meeting and told trump jr. the russian lawyer had incriminating information on hillary clinton and her connection to the russians. the russian lawyer says the meeting was only to discuss the magniski act. well, this new e-mail released to fox news seems to back up the story because she asked the music promoter if she could bring along a lobbyist to the meeting that had already been working with congress on the magniski act. he said and i'm quoting "he has invaluable position of the foreign relations committee that will be important to our discussion." you can bet the trump campaign will use that e-mail to argue their was no collusion between the campaign and the russian government. shep? >> shepard: trace gallagher, thank you. a fox extreme weather alert now.
