warrant. >> the american public should know the eyes are on them. >> reporter: this comes as there are allegations the trump dossier was used as evidence for obtaining a pfizer warrant use to spy on the trump campaign, something the house intelligence committee chairman devon nunez at the end of last year expressed concerns over the matter in a letter to attorney general rod rosenstein demanding documents they had been withholding until the beginning of january, the report confirmed by fox news, investigative journalists, sean hannity last night, evidence, the answer to that question is yes. >> i have spoken to a number of sources, one senior law enforcement and is a in the doj and the dossier was used as part of the fbi's ability to gain a

heather: donald trump reacting to a halt on the ability to recent daca. and guimond really reversed by higher court. lawmakers have eight days before government spending bill is due on january 19th. heather: thank you so much, great to see you. after a year in office donald trump is closing in on a second monumental legislative victory. nancy graham says because he is doing something previous presidents never could and that is building a bridge to bipartisanship. >> the president did a fabulous job talking about this problem, he did it in a small way, a compassionate way and his job is

not to sell books or carry a tv show. his job is to solve problems that he has to work with democrats. for ten years i have been working on this. obama tried it, couldn't do it, bush tried it, to couldn't do it, donald trump will be the president that can do it, he has credibility on the border security issue that nobody else has. he does have compassion for these kids, we are going to get a good deal under his leadership. the difference between being a radio talkshow host and tv personality and president use as president you have to solve problems. >> reporter: on the heels of the president's televised roundtable senate lawmakers say they could release a bipartisan bill by the end of the week. we will keep an eye on that. fox news alert, urgent travel warning the state department issuing a do not travel advisory. five crime-ridden state in

about the dossier, they are turning the information over to congress as something else. what bothers me about this is the fbi get this material about donald trump from the clinton campaign vendor. they use it as an excuse to spy on trump as opposed to warning trump the russians may have it in for him and when you bring in senator feinstein, 20 years ago people do not remember this but the chinese have plans giving out donations to influence our elections. what did the fbi do? they want feinstein. heather: tell me this. in terms of diane feinstein and what she has done, has she compromised the investigation completely by releasing this testimony? >> it is a dishonest transparency if that is possible.

you had it with the release of this transcript because the transcript is rejected as you pointed out, the document behind the transcript about she was questioned are redacted and the context is missing in the sense that we didn't have certain information when they were questioning because refused to tell them for instance, people should raise the testimony, that for instance who was he working for? he refused to tell them he was working for the clinton campaign and that within a different deposition. if they had known he was working for the clinton campaign. heather: something else, a quote taken from it talked about the human source. the fbi believes the information might be credible because they had other intelligence indicating the same thing and one is a source in the trump organization but we now know that wasn't true. >> the fusion gps, referencing

the role of a monument or memorial? monuments and memorials are interchangeable but the main premise behind them is to question history, memory, legacy, collective consciousness, collective action. if you look at these prototypes, they are really about potential. they are quite stunning and this impacted -- when he saw these walls and talked on television and internet and in person they not only have a relationship to history and culture but something called land art which is a huge land movement in the 1950s. lands art was primarily concerned with context. the context determined the meaning, landscape is very important. the question of time. the question of space. scale, how big is it, how small is it. all these things are

represented. heather: something i am thinking of, we heard the controversy taking down statues and forms of art that are representative, in terms of slavery and that type of thing. this issue, the wall, is very controversial so people who have feelings that aren't positive, how do you answer that? >> one thing we are concerned with is much of the art being produced today in this country is not a controversial nature, it shies away from controversy. i don't think we are afraid of that. it doesn't take a position, it is a composition of being an observer. one of the things about -- heather: the art is supposed to make you think and question whether you agree with it or not. >> how does it impact politics and how does politics impact
