10:05 am
kind and dangerous than as a role model to those who face insurmountable challenges. governor brown butted heads with the trump administration in october when he sang sanctuary state legislation which places limitations on both state and local authorities to place federal laws and really important to know as well that just because the men were pardoned doesn't mean that they won't be parted at some point in both to reopen their cases. gillian. gillian: thanks for that. more coming up with leland vittert merry christmas. leland: breaking down the fight between the california governor in president trump. harrisburg pa-based radio host, rj harris fighting with wh p. online as well around the country and around the world. good to see you, rj. >> great to see you. nice to be with you. leland: love the christmas time. is this an amway a good title
10:06 am
for president trump to be fighting especially with his base? >> well, i think without question one of the largest problems in america is better border situation is still horrible and it's been that way for years. we argued this during the reagan era, gave clemency to people, said we were going to fix it and never have. i think it is interesting that jerry brown is taking a jab at the white house by releasing somebody who was arrested on weapons charges following these weapons charges related to gang activity. you've got to be kidding me. leland: it does seem like a softball for a tweaked at least sometime in the next couple days for president trump. >> without question. a proper softball, we really need to get our immigration situation straightened out. not only the border is because also who is coming in.
10:07 am
we need the right people coming here and that, by the way, is not code for race, color, creed, religion. it really means the folks who can contribute something to the american economy and our way of living. leland: there is a lot of discussion about a piece in "the new york times" talking about how president trump want to do more in immigration, especially 2018. and this quote is getting a lot of pushback from the white house, talking about an oval office meeting. 40,000 come from nigeria, mr. trump, added. one scene in the united states, they would know goal -- never go back to africa. the white house pushing back very hard on the height issue. this is a president who wants to do more. although he needs the congress for money for the wall, there are certain things the democrats will hold hostage on daca. how much can president trump is
10:08 am
democrats in order to get something through against which you want, which is awol. >> well, i have never believed that we are going to be successful sending all illegals back. i think that is not in the realm. leland: so, you would he okay giving the president political cover on your radio show to make a deal available on daca? >> in fact i have. but, if any deal is to become, it has to be with the borders taking care of. i stress, people come from everywhere. remember quite a few few years back with chinese illegals. this is not just south of our border. it is about illegals. that needs to be brought in to chat. if we are going to give up anything, we need to have secure borders in return. leland: secure borders and something the president is talking about is redoing illegal immigration as well.
10:09 am
we think about what is happening in harrisburg in the last 48 hours to try to get the name right here, i'll knock the, something that the president is talking about shutting down, his white house have looked at shutting down. where is the priority here? you know that democrats are going to try and stop the president on immigration issues at every step. >> well, the democrats are backing criminals and jerry brown showed that. this fellow was not. but if you are here legally, the democrats are in you. you've got a president who wants to deal with illegal immigration of which there is sound, and there's not a lot. and there are many who are here
10:10 am
illegally. >> absolutely. people love quote, unquote won the lottery and then they come in behind them. i just think it's a crazy way to admit people to our country. we need to get to a standard where they have a sponsor. they have a job and will contribute to the american economy. in their minds as just another to go for. leland: a lot to come out of harrisburg as they look into this fellow's background, holly came over and if this was a terror attack him and the implication of that. that is something talking about next week on the show and we look forward to having you back to talk about it here. >> love you guys. merry christmas. leland: merry christmas to you as well. gillian. gillian: with tax reform in the rearview mirror, many members based their two-week holiday recess in the new year. house and senate republicans have until january 192, but another bipartisan pending deal

10:14 am
want to give you your answer here, ron, that is the president ending on a high note, in the sense there's been huge challenges that still remain committed cheap now that tax reform under the about, closing out the year and a strong outcome of strong footing with the stock market. unemployment is doing quite well. >> there is some reason to feel like he is to he is to win that back with tax reform. not one democrat voted for a middle-class tax cut. i was at my barber yesterday. >> because it not a middle-class tax cut. >> hold on. i was at my barber yesterday. she thought she was getting a tax increase. she's actually going to get a $1500 tax cut. 85% to 95% of of americans but not one democrat voted for it. if there are reasonable conferences with democrats across the aisle were they going to refuse to get trump any victories to a democrat devotes worry. i think the bipartisanship

gillian: the fbi describes part
10:28 am
of its core values says part of an uncompromising institutional integrity. putting the agency a local scrutiny. scrutiny. our own ellison barber joins us with the latest developments on the bureau. what can you tell us? >> president trump is not in d.c., but ill talking about the fbi on twitter. fox news has learned that the acting fbi director andrew mccabe is eligible for retirement in march. for weeks there have been rumors about a potential retirement to the handful reporting yesterday that he would retire in the new year and almost immediately fired off a number of treat. the white house defended on "fox news sunday." >> is not helpful for the president to repeatedly attacked top officials of the fbi? >> the american people have a right to the investigation. as you remember that to eat,
10:29 am
tear him a call if it is political friend. he gave $700 contribution to mccabe's wife running for office at the same time their launch an investigation. reporter: mccabe spent two days, 14 hours testifying. the closed-door meetings were not meant that to discredit the special counsel's russia investigation. >> the hearing is quite an attempt at diversion from the real issue, which is the ration at times to subvert the last election and possible collusion with the certain collusion by members of the tribe campaign. >> fox news learned james baker was removed from a prominent position on the general counsel. the council is read on all of
10:30 am
the investigations handled by the fbi. baker is not fired, there reassigned in his reassignment to somehow be tied to a separate leak investigation. the "washington post" said sources tell them this is a normal part of a new director coming into the bureau. "politico" reported on friday that a chris tied to a mother jones journalist on the existence of the trump dossier. the journalist said baker was not his source. gillian: thanks for that. leland: data helper with those washington beacon. the book came out in 2014, but especially now, still highly relevant. not to happy with that. it seems as though the president is getting up this idea that they felt they could act with impunity for lack of a better term both during the obama years. establish your reporting found? >> i think even more sinister. he's not only suggesting
10:31 am
impunity. you suggesting they have the whole system against him and essentially trying to ruin his own presidency by making these charges of collusion and what not, which is turned into special counsel. it is even deeper than what the president is suggesting. leland: what you're suggesting is deeper. let's break that down point to point. clinton is acting with impunity and having at the very least top cover from the fbi and from the justice department. fair or not fair. >> no smoking gun, but evidence to suggest things happen such as andrew mccabe's wife getting this money and terry mcauliffe running for political office. routinely answered i think just in general the scrutiny that donald trump himself has had for her various families. >> there is the tarmac meeting,
10:32 am
some other things, special meetings if you will. is there any fear from the clinton world and we know we ask his sources there there could be another special counsel appointed to look into that? >> i don't think there is direct fear. there is a weirdness about the radical massive president trump. there is worry some, worried that he might use the system against her. the clinton world itself has shrunk dramatically. democrats writ large are not clintonian anymore. you have a party searching for a new leader would largely moved on from the clintons. in some way, very isolated and in the way a matter of the past. leland: a lot of people thought the clintons were done in 2008 when hillary loss to barack obama in the primaries. the question be either some democrats more than happy to sit
10:33 am
back and watch cisco wants in hopes that it really finally pushes the clintons all the way out? >> i don't think anybody is cheering for, but separately most democrats -- there's still a place. leland: they may not wish them ill, they may wish them gone, though. there is something else that broken sword of a parallel here to this "politico" story about a dea investigation into hezbollah, the iranian military group shut down by the obama administration. if there was an fbi democrats would march on the investigation into a russian organized crime syndicate shut down by president trump, democrats would march on the white house, demanding impeachment. is there going to be more -- is there possibly going to be a special counsel or other look into this?
10:34 am
>> one of the big unknowns that the justice department, the fbi is under the special counsel. leland: as is the dea. >> under the special counsel under president trump. one person you're not hearing from as jeff sessions which is a very low profile. we learned months ago between the attorney general and the there was lots and lots of confidence. jeff sessions is really treading lightly, trying to suggest he's looking into having special investigation and the obama administration but without competing anything. so where does he stand in all this and when is he going to be? leland: here is the latest week. how can fbi deputy director andrew mccabe, the man in charge along with leaking james call me of the phony hillary clinton investigation. here's the question.
10:35 am
at what point does the president tell the attorney general had done tweeting about these people. i won't mccabe gone. >> is a little surprising he didn't do that when he fired call me because he was his right hand. customarily when you get rid of the principle the deputies only a matter of time. obviously, there is a little something tricky going on here and you're trying to give them the full pension or is trying to get his full pension to ride it out, but he could be fired at any given time if the right people made the call. >> although the president learned firing james coleman was a political price. >> about 90 days suggesting that maybe he won't. obviously that's pure speculation. leland: danielle, appreciate your help as always.
10:36 am
but the ink in the book. we'll talk to you soon. leland: you probably remember the occupied wall street. where is it now? have they dissolved and could they accomplish their object is? rick leventhal joins us with the latest. >> it began september 17, 2011 in new york city. just a few blocks from the financial capital of the world. inspired in part by europe spring protest overseas. occupied wall street was a social movement against income inequality, corporate greed and the influence of big business and politics. almost overnight good diverse group of demonstrators grew to almost 10,000. spreading to hundreds of cities across america.
10:37 am
and more than 80 countries worldwide. locations among city leaders and law enforcement and authorities began arresting protesters in clarion encampments and roughly two months after it launched the occupied movement faded. >> occupied wall street. >> i call it a constructive failure. reporter: from the opposite of the canadian magazine in the summer 2011, envisioning it as a leader for the movement. a revolution for the people, by the people. >> obviously they did a lot of good teams. it changes income inequality, but did we give the power to the 99%? did we change america? no. >> the crowds that fueled the initial success eventually helped lead. you had all these people saying
10:38 am
those streets, our streets. yet they were getting in the way of people owning these streets. >> occupied wall street evolved into something else, morphed into something else. >> he went nearly every single day for two months. but as a protester, but a social occupied movement energized generation. >> i think it did energized than a brought something into american politics that's been missing for a long time which is the voices of ordinary people. >> decides black list monitor and the success of bracing his campaign is how it carried on. >> it was a turning point in the political conversation and i
10:39 am
think it will be remembered as such. >> way too spoke was called in to protest as we may never see anything like occupy again. >> the ultimate problem of protest is there's a certain point. occupy was the biggest, the loudest after a certain point that you can't be any bigger. you can be the latter. >> the only way they can truly succeed is to win elections. in new york, rick leventhal, fox news. leland: so, will palestinians take christmas off from clashing with the israeli army over president trump's recent announcement? we will see if the holy land can find peace if only for a day. and british prime minister theresa may's message to the men and women's serving in the uk's armed forces. >> today as we face these threats, your work continues to make the world a safer place. quit smoking.

10:50 am
afternoon. charlie merry christmas. so here's something interesting. i was believing what they put out on december 12th about americans and religion and they tell us that an increasing number of americans increasingly as a cultural holiday, rather than religious holiday. today the number is around 46, today 46 feet as a strictly religious holiday, which is down 8% from four years ago. does that surprise you? what do you make of it? >> it's just not history. i don't know what to say. it's like if you say 9/11, that was the day in which everybody came together and loved each other. no, it wasn't. it was the day in which there was terrible terrorism involved. christmas happens to be a religious holiday of.
10:51 am
this is not something i make you not to the churches make up, but a day that jesus of nazareth was born 2000 years ago. billions of christians around the world believe that not only was he born on that day because that is an historical fact, but that he was the son of god. of course, that part of it is faith here that his religion. we can't say christmas is something else. let me tell you real quickly, about two weeks ago the government agency came to me and asked me if they could use their church home so the local politicians could give out gifts. for whatever reason i don't know because they asked me, we only have one request. would you please take down the christmas tree in your parish hall so we don't offend people, people don't get their wrong idea we're celebrating christmas. i didn't have the right idea in the parish hall.
10:52 am
i brought one down and i said you're welcome to use this church hall to give out christmas gifts and christmas is a religious holiday. russia's history. gillian: i understand what you are saying, but is there room to include americans in the holiday and in the holiday spirit of a religious or perhaps folks who attend mosque and synagogue? don't we want to include everybody in the holiday spirit of christmas? >> absolutely. we should also be historically include americans in the holiday and in the holiday spirit of a religious or perhaps folks who attend mosque and synagogue? don't we want to include everybody in the holiday spirit of christmas? >> absolutely. we should also be historically accurate. hanukkah, let's bring out a menorah and explained that this was a day in which the jewish celebrate the restoration of the temple. wonderful, let do it. but flight those candles and explained to the kids we are giving these free gifts out to in the example i gave you what hanukkah is all about. same thing with christmas. let's not pretend this is just
10:53 am
