[cheering and applause] greg: you ruined a good purse. thanks to rob o'neill, 17 years. that is it for us! >> julie banderas is next with the "fox report". >> the president hitting back over a tell-all book granting the author a total loser. and -- while hosting congressional leaders at camp david to administer 2018 agenda. good evening everyone i am julie banderas. you're watching the "fox report". the president lashing out at journalist, michael wolff. just hours ago from the presidential retreat in maryland. senior lawmakers and cabinetmakers looked on. the president taking issue with his claim that 100 percent of the people around the president question his intelligence. and the president even going as far to argue his

qualifications. saying that they speak for themselves. >> i hear this guy that does not know me, at all. by the way, did not interview me. he said he interviewed me for three hours in the white house. that did not exist. it is his imagination. i did a quick interview with him long time ago having to do with an article. but i do not know this man. i guess sloppy steve brought him into the white house quite a bit. it was one of those things. that is why sloppy steve is now looking for a job. >> we been following all the negative elements from the white house. that was an entertaining news conference i must say! what is the president saying about this? >> good evening julie. the president was defending his mental fitness. attacking michael wolff in the early part of this morning. it started at 7:30 a.m. on twitter. he tweeted quote - actually throughout my life my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like really smart.cricket hillary clinton also played these cards

very hard. as everyone knows, went down in flames. i went from a very successful businessman to a t.v. star and president of the united states on my first try. i think it qualifies not smart but genius and a very stable genius at that. the presidents attorney sent a letter to michael wolff and publishers asking them to cease and desist any further dissemination of the book. but they responded by moving up the release date of the book. >> what are republicans at camp david retreat saying? about trying to advance their agenda in 2018? it is and should be the focus here. >> yet the intent with this meeting this weekend and want to figure out a legislative strategy. what they want to push and how they want to negotiate and deal with. there was a discussion of that but before even getting into that republicans wanted to talk about 2017 and what they say was a very successful year. ask if you are like those of us here at the podium, you would

like to see america being a right of center country. from a right of center point of view, 2017 was the most nonsequential year that i have been here and in congress. >> the senate majority leader mentioned judicial nominees and the tech so that the president signed last year. 2018, the state want to talk did discuss strategy on purging. congress has the passc expended by the 19th or part of the government shuts down. longer-term visioning, military spending and attention on immigration. that is what the present went through. they talked about daca. the obama era policy that protects those parts united states illegally as children from deportation. the president is bathing out. he says republicans want to extend those protections but they want something in exchange. they want to and chain migration, mike reported security on the southern border and also looking to end the

visa lottery system. >> the president also making some news on north korea. >> right. they trump administration has been leading for months because a pressure campaign. to isolate north korea from the rest of the world economically and diplomatically. now, us ally, south korea, will be talking to north korea next month perhaps about north korean athletes participating in the olympics next month and south korea. to that, the president said, he welcomes it. >> we have a very good relationship with south korea. i would love to see it go far beyond the olympics. absolutely. and at the appropriate time we will get involved. >> analysts say they worry what north korea is trying to do is drive a wedge between south korea and the united states on the issue. the united states and the trump administration says they have been willing to talk to north korea only after the kim jong-un regime changes his behavior from firing missiles and testing nuclear weapons.

>> rich hudson, thank you. just ahead, will be delving into further into the presidents comments today. his bipartisanship in the future and what issues really could bring republicans and democrats together? also the president and his role in the upcoming midterm. as you might imagine, he will not be sitting on the sideline. he said there is one thing he probably will not be doing. we'll talk about that coming up. we tell he also speaking out about two other issues dogging the administration for the attorney general and the russian investigation. >> to standby jeff sessions as your attorney general? >> yes, i do. >> the president also reiterated there was no collusion between his campaign and the russian government. >> has been no crime. and in theory, everyone tells me i'm not under investigation. maybe hillary is, i don't know but i am not.there has been no collusion. there has been no crime. but we have been very open. we could have done this two ways.

with to be very close and it would have taken years. but sort of like when you've done nothing wrong, let's be open and get it over with. because honestly, it is very bad for the country. it is making our country look foolish. >> meanwhile, republican senators calling for action against the author of the trump dossier. the chairman, charles grassley along with lindsey graham urging the justice department to open a criminal investigation against christopher steele. they believe he lied to the fbi about his contact with reporters. caroline shively has the latest from washington. what law do the senators believe christopher steele might have actually broken? >> they think lying to federal investigators. it is actually named the martha stewart statute. and it is about lying to a federal agent about an ongoing

investigation. he was on the payroll of fusion gps we talk to them about the dossier. trying to get them to write stories. graham and grassley think he may have lied about the interaction with journalists. the project was later partially funded by the democratic national committee and the clinton campaign. the veracity of the contents of the dossier is still disputed. a criminal referral makes no transit members of congress cannot levy criminal charges but can flag them to be doj for more review. many republicans still want to know if the dossier sparks the entire fbi investigation into possible collision between the trump campaign and russia. >> this all goes to, how did this investigation into this collusion begin with law enforcement? what was christopher steeles role? who was he working with and in the justice department and the fbi people. >> is the first known terminal referral from congress as part of the russian investigation. >> this referral, angered

democrats. tell us why. >> they call it a distraction and say they were left out of the entire thing. senator richard blumenthal, also on the judiciary committee said this. quote this action was taken without any bipartisan cooperation or even consultation. the vaguely stated secret allegations seem designed more to distract attention from the priority issues for the investigation and discredit the fbi and other law enforcement. the doj does not have to take as a referral but the judiciary committee is oversight over the entire justice department. coming from grassley and graham it will likely be a priority. >> thank you caroline. protesters on both sides of the political and cultural divide are hitting the streets yet again and iran. now weeks of demonstrations. thousands of pro-government supporters turning out for 1/4 day. basically putting the regime on edge.

in our country, there was a rally as well as on the white house. this went on behalf of the antigovernment protesters in attendance, the former house speaker newt gingrich. >> this is a dictatorship that does not represent the people of iran. it survives only by being willing to kill -- it has again and again been faced with the people of iran trying to break free. >> kitty logan has more on the unrest and how that reigning government is pointing fingers at the us. >> government-backed rallies took place in several iranian towns and cities again today. with thousands in the streets. the process appeared in the north of the country but spread elsewhere. and people waved iranian flags chanting slogans. iranian state t.v. to the direct response of days and demonstrations that began on

december 28. the iranian government has cracked down on the protests and in response to the crackdown, usa today called a meeting at the un. the iranian government reacted angrily to the us decision to call the meeting. criticizing it as a mistake. but the us ambassador to the un, nikki haley, visiting has put iran on notice. she says antigovernment protests in iran on human rights issue. at least 21 people have been killed and others arrested. the protests will press about the economy such as employment and rise on food prices. it was duly directed toward leadership in the demonstrations spreads about any places. having fitting in recent days. the iranian government with interference and a series of pro-government protest to counter. and of course the president has clearly backed the antigovernment protesters. it seems been outcome of the movement may have been

installed by the meaning government crackdown. >> kitty logan, thank you. right now is allaying out a strategy for bipartisan immigration reform while pushing for border security. the president says there is no deal on daca without funding for the wall. to the tune of at least $18 billion. can the gop and democrats find common ground? we'll talk about it live in an interview coming up. plus, the us ramping up the feed with the white house on immigration. the new law that just went into effect and how the effect and how the

i'm mark and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried, um, cold turkey. i tried the patches. i was tired and i was fed up. i wanted to try something different. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. compared to the nicotine patch, chantix helped significantly more people quit smoking. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking,

aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i'm finally free of smoking. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. >> the president of republicans talking immigration reform at the camp david retreat. the president reiterated he is hoping to strike a deal with democrats to protect hundreds of thousands of dreamers from deportation. but he says it is not happening. without funding for the border wall. which is by the way to the tune of at least $18 billion.

democrats are not so happy about that. for more this with to garrett tenney in washington. >> this is the first detailed blueprint we have of the trump administration for the wall along the us border. calls for major expansion of border security. the wall street journal viewed a copy of the document which are shared with a number senators on friday and request the first phase of the plan would cost $18 billion take 10 years to complete and include more than 700 miles of new and replacement areas along the border. the document also reportedly lays out the changes to immigration policy that the president has demanded to include in any deal to address daca and audrey mr. men country. >> we want the wall. it will happen or we will not have daca. we want to give up chain migration. very important. and we want to get rid of the lottery system. in addition we want money for funding. we need additional border

security. we need i.c.e. we want to measure in terms of what we want. we want daca to happen. >> democrats are slamming the ministrations plan for a border wall. including senator dick durbin that said the president may be pushing congress toward a government shutdown with the latest proposal. adding it is outrageous that the white house would undercut months of bipartisan efforts by again trying to put the entire wishlist of hardline anti-immigrant bills plus an additional $18 billion in wall funding on the backs of young people. several items that were notably not included in the administrations plans. what kind of barriers or walls will be used. where along the border this will be built and how the white house plans to make mexico pay for it. >> thank you garrett tenney. the acting director of i.c.e. is laying down the gauntlet over a so-called sanctuary state law taking effect in california. the legislation is an open defiance of the white house.

barring police officers from enforcing federal immigration policies. jonathan hunt has more. >> if you think i.c.e. is going away, we are not! is a center-right or federal law enforcement. >> the acting i.c.e. directors not making any attempt to hide his anger at california's new laws and the governor. for not supporting much of the work of federal immigration authorities.and as a result, he says i.c.e. is going to put a lot more boots on the ground. >> california better hold on tight. they're about to see a lot more special agents. a lumbar deportation in the state of california. if the politicians in california do not want to protect their communities, then i.c.e. will. >> california has never officially declared itself a sanctuary state. legislation is called the california values acts. critics of course say it amounts to the same thing. put simply, the new law strictly limits the extent to which local law enforcement agencies can cooperate with federal immigration agents.

in a newspaper opinion piece, california's democratic senate leader, said quote - drafting local police into this crackdown undermines public safety and is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars. adding that the law quote - will prevent the trump administration from hijacking our state and local police to enforce federal immigration laws. the acting i.c.e. director wants politicians like deli on -- deleon -- they cannot make these decisions and be held on accountable for people dying. we need to hold these politicians accountable for their actions. >> does the president share your view, sir? >> absolutely. >> it is not clear if that trumpet measures are california will back down. which appears likely to only become more intense.

everyone in between. democrats republicans and independents. >> the president and republican leaders striking a bipartisan tone as they lay the groundwork this weekend for the 2018 agenda. i will bring haley for a congressional reporter for the weekly standard.thank you for talking to us. i have a lot of different issues to discuss let's talk about daca here because center chuck grassley, john cornyn have both proposed to extend daca for a few years as the dreamers can apply for citizenship. these are republican senators. need we remind the viewers. and i guess they're trying to meet in the middle with democrats but will of the republicans aside with them? >> that is a good question. i think it is even more of an interest republicans to try and find consensus within the party. right now, within the republican party, the daca negotiations staying within the party. even though they are searching for the bipartisan deal. and that is because this can vary so much. talk democrats say that

immigration demands could lead to a government shutdown. we did democrats stand in protecting the borders first of all? and will they negotiate with key issues like ending key migration, the visa lottery and toughening border security? >> thing that has been seen that have been open to negotiating in terms of border security. additional measures with wills and democrats have done that in order to keep the government open and running. in this one, trump is pushing for specifics on the border wall. which democrats have sorta said, this is a longer knuckle to cross. he will give you more money for enforcement but maybe not a border wall. so i think that is the question that is the white house is pushing. >> i think the president is a, no daca deal without the wall. democrats using $18 billion, what? immigration reform is not obviously getting off on the right foot. what other agendas will talk the to do list in 2018?

>> paul ryan and the house is talking about entitlement reform. cuts to spending. whereas, led by the republicans including the president mcconnell, you know he has shown some interest but i'm not sure what the degree of interest is for ryan with infrastructure and within the republican party. especially because it is such a bipartisan issue. different funding mechanisms might not be conservative enough for them. raising this fuel tax is something that will pay for this boost in infrastructure. >> speaking 2018, that leads to my next question. the midterm elections. a lot is riding on this year. especially for republicans because the majority over republicans versus democrats in the senate has narrowed. 49 ã51 i believe. when asked if he will be involved in this years election

coming this with the president had to say. >> they want me to be involved. we will be very involved. in fact not only with the senate also with the house. >> process incumbents, -- >> protecting incumbents and whoever have to protect. we need more republicans. we have to have more republicans. that being said, i think we have some really great bipartisan bills. we need more republicans. so that we can really get the rest of the make america great again agenda past. >> is include some challenges to incumbents also? >> i do not see that happening. i do not see that happening at this moment. i think that sort of scattered. the state of alabama -- >> he just mentioned alabama. coming off the heels of the loss in alabama, i was the president viewed when it comes to his support for candidates? >> is a good question i think a lot of republicans are asking after steve bannon his departure and the rift between them after michael wolff spoke has come out.

i believe after that the president made clear he's deciding what republican establishment, especially when it comes to campaigns and elections. you saw on twitter, mcconnell steen posted, mcconnell looking pleased after trump released his statement about steve bannon. just dragging and basically after all of the quotes came out. when he said that today i believe he is sort of confirming you know, i will be in the 70 republicans in 2018. >> okay so, basically the fallout of the book was one that clearly agitated the president. it was a work of fiction. in it, basically, you have michael bennet at one time who is -- michael bannon. now it turns out this is a wrap. and the president calls him out on twitter. [i think this kind of got

covered up today because of his most recent tweet about mental stability. because i got this on my phone about 11:30 pm last night. michael wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. he is sloppy steve bannon who cried when he got fired. now sloppy steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. too bad! is this a distraction to the presidents agenda another bump in the road? >> we've been asking that question in the last year in congress. i think it does distract republican members of congress but they are doing their best to keep their eyes away from this car crash that is happening. whenever the president tweets. the agenda i believe, is really based in congress. at least that is what they say. i think it makes it harder for them to work with the executive

branch because they do not know what he will say next. >> not have to figure out what to tackle next. and how do they get bipartisan support? because republican leaders have to see what to take on. such as infrastructure. how do they decide which to push when considering the midterm? >> exactly. what they'll consider the most is the midterms and what voters in general are looking for. entitlement reform is very popular among all voters. especially on an election year. in another challenge is that you need 60 votes in the senate. it will be difficult to do something like that. on the other hand have infrastructure and you have to work with the other party to work on that. and i would question the democrats are asking is, is it worth it to work on a bipartisan bill when they see trump is so toxic. in the grand scheme of things, they are asking, mably pass an infrastructure bill but doesn't hurt us in the long term if his

signature is on it? >> haley byrd, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> and on a collision course with environmentalists as well as some governors. opening us coastal waters open to drilling. >> we need to know facts before we allow deep water drilling to continue. >> this prompted president obama to resend plans to open parts of the gulf and the atlantic to drilling. >> averaged a six month moratorium on deepwater drilling. >> the six months became seven years and on thursday, president trump torpedoed the legacy. >> this is a dramatic departure from previous policy. >> overturning 33 is a policy that he opens both coasts to drilling. >> we have the strongest energy policy and become the strongest energy superpower. >> to achieve that, the initiation was open 47 new areas for leasing. each represents thousands of acres. if approved, companies can

explore and potentially drill for oil and gas. >> we are currently 94 percent of the offshore resources off-limits. this is an opportunity to open up more of the areas to supply growing demand. >> they ready have this to opposing the state of california. >> environmentalists promise to fight any drilling proposal. as the western governors who accuse the president of ignoring climate change and the rest to our life. >> we are united in our opposition to this move by the president. >> the threat of losses is one reason major companies are reluctant to change long-term drilling plans. they also. future administration may flip the decision. federal waters extend three to 200 miles off the coast. offering political and economic challenges. but the real answers may lie beneath. testing can show how much oil exists and if it is worth drilling for. every administration must issue a five-year plan for the offshore resources. this one begins in 2019.

until then, public hearings will weed out unrealistic leases, rising gas prices to change economics and politics of what happens next. los angeles, fox news. >> thank you william. widespread flu outbreaks across the nation and a striking number of states dealing with this. while some hospitals are actually turning people away! plus after the "fox report" it is watter's world. >> my nomination for fake news report of the year and we are debuting a new segment. liberty mutual saved us almost eight hundred dollars when we switched our auto and home insurance. with liberty, we could afford a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey.
