about the idea, and volunteered to build it. all right, everyone, make sure you check out "the five" tonight for the always-entertaining facebook friday. we'll see if hi larity ensues. here's trace gallagher for shep. >> trace: fury and fallout after the comments on immigration of president trump using a curse to describe some countries. the president denying he said anything derogatory but insiders say they know what they heard. even the republican house speaker with criticism. >> first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate, unhelpful. >> trace: meantime, heavy hitters in congress trying to work out a deal on the dreamers. immigrants whose parents brought them here as children, without documents. we will look at the progress on their plan. here in southern california, one sheriff says, rescuers are looking for a miracle. hunting for people who may have survived the mudslides that tore

down hills and ripped homes from their foundation. coming up in this hour of "shepard smith reporting." >> trace: trace gal a ger in for shepard smith, the president firing back as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle and world leaders blast his comments on immigration. a source telling fox news during a white house meeting the president question idea the u.s. would take in more immigrants from haiti and countries in africa instead of places like norway. quoting the president, why are we having all of these people from blank countries come here. today the president tweeted the language used by me at the daca doet meeting was tough but this hasn't the language used. what was tough was the outlandish proposal, made big setback for daca. daca is the program that protects the dreamers. hundreds of thousands of immigrants whose parents brought them to the united states without documents. the chief white house correspondent john roberts is

live on the north lawn. john? >> good afternoon. hillary clinton, president trump's republicaning -- opponent during the campaign, now the hate toast weigh in on what the president said, commenting about haiti, saying the anniversary of the devastating aerth quake 8 years ago is-to-a time to affirm america's commitment to help our neighbors. we're subjected to trump racist views of anyone who doesn't look like him. should be pointed out the clintons, hillary and bill, made pretty big promises about earthquake recovery in the wick of that devastating quake in 2010 and a lot of promises went unfulfilled. senators cotton and purdue of georgia are coming forward to say, well, they don't recall hearing the president using the word x-hole in the conversation in the oval office. and they were there, saying, quote, we do not recall the

president saying these comments specifically. but what he did call out was the imbalance in the current immigration system which does not protect american workers and our national interests. of course don't recall him saying that and he didn't say that really could be two very different things. the president was asked about all of this as he was signing a proclamation declaring monday to be martin luther king day in the roosevelt room, ignored the shouted questions. watch how it unfolded. >> the policy for the statement yesterday. >> oh, boy. >> mr. president did you refer to african nation as (bleep). >> are you a racist mr. president? >> mr. report are you going to comment? >> mr. president will you spinld to these serious questions about this statement, sir. >> no! >> i'm talking to the president, not you. are you a race interest mr. president? >> mr. president are you a racist, shouted as the president left the roosevelt room. dick durbin, senator from illinois, who was on the democratic side, was one of the

two people that the president invited up to talk about daca in the oval office, the other one was lindsay graham though he did invite a number of other senators as well, said he definitely remembers hearing the president say those words. listen here. >> that's what he used, it is vile and vulgar comments, calling the nations they come from (bleep). the exact word used by the president. not just once but repeatedly. >> he says he used that word repeatedly, trace. the only person we have heard say that the president used it repeatedly. the president for his part this morning in a tweet said perhaps i should record future meetings just so that we know what my side of the story is. trace? >> trace: we're going to have a lot more on this. meantime, we learned a lot more about the president's health,s he gets his first medical checkup as commander in chief, doctors giving him a checkup at walter reed hospital in bethesda, maryland. the exam is set to last several hours and we're told they're

measuring the president's blood pressure, cholesterol, the basic things, heart rate, weight, and more. the white house says the president's doctor will release a statement after the physical. let's get back to john roberts at the white house with more on this. >> the white house position dr. rodney johnson conducting the examination up there, it's tradition for presidents every year to go up to walter reed for their annual physical. this will be the first one that the president has had. he didn't become president until january 20. typically in the first couple of weeks of january the president goes up there. we're going to get, perhaps, a statement this afternoon which would i'm sure be a cursory statement. while he will have the results of blood pressure and heart rate and things like that, overall physical appearance, he won't have all of the detafls the blood work that will be done. you can bet they're going to do a lot of extensive blood work. we will have a briefing on tuesday, trace, by dr. rodney johnson who will go over the finer details within reason, i guess. of the president's health. don't forget his personal

physician said before the president was elected, that he would be the healthiest president ever if elected. so we'll see if the physical reflects his personal physician's thoughts about the president. trace? >> trace: yeah, he had the blood pressure of a 21-year-old at that time. if those results come in during the show we'll get back to you. thank you. republican speaker of the house paul ryan responding to president trump's comments on immigration. let's get to the chief congressional correspondent mike emmanuel live on capitol hill. >> house speaker paul ryan noted his own family's humble beginnings in the country. . story of so many pursuing the american dream. >> first thing that came to my mind is very unfortunate, unhelpful. but you know what i thought of right away, i thought about my own family. my family, like a whole lot of people, came from ireland, what they called coffin ships then. came here, worked the railroads.

the irish were really looked down upon during those days. >> john mccain said a short time ago, quote, people have come to this country from everywhere and people from everywhere make america great. our immigration policies should reflect that truth. our elected officials, including our president, should respect it. maryland democrat senator ben cardin called it contrary to our values. >> trace: where does this take us next, what i the latest on immigration talks? >> trace, even though president trump rejected a bipartisan man, sounds like the senators haven't given up. they said they have an agreement in principle, and now they're selling it to both republicans and democrats. >> i have a singular mission, that mission is to pass the dream act, to protect these young people. i spoke to my colleagues, and i will continue to. but my goal is not to get a

headline, my goal is not to find publicity or make a splash, my goal is to get that done. >> the favored talks are involving leader members of the house and the senate. durbin is part of that group as well. it's important to note they'll need buy-in from house members to get something to the president's desk. tra trace. >> trace: trying to keep the government up and running. what is the late toast get a bill passed to fund the government. >> the government is due on run out every money one week from tonight. congressional leaders haven't reached an agreement on the spending levels for a two-year deal. democratic leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi push for de moes particular spending and some republicans push for a boost in defense spending. democrats tried to link immigration to the fiscal matters but speaker ryan says there won't be a government shutdown. >> they want to see a path for daca, they want to see that it's not just going to get kicked down the road that, it's going to get resolved ichblt with a to get it resolved, too. way thnlt caps agreement

resolved, because frankly my big concern is our military. >> the concern going into a critical week next week is some of the controversy over the president's comments could very well economy kate efforts to get critical things done, like the government fuchbtding extension, budget agreement, and also whatever they're going to try and do on immigration and daca. trace? >> trace: indeed, mike emmanuel, live in d.c., thank you. a lot more to get to with the president's comments. the controversy, and what happens now. fox news sunday anchor chris wallace joins me with that, coming up next. smile dad. i take medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol. but they might not be enough to protect my heart. adding bayer aspirin can further reduce the risk of another heart attack. because my second chance matters. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen.

people keep asking me if i miss the mayhem?stuff, does waiting around trying to protect your house from a lighting strike give me the same rush as being golfball-sized hail? of course not. but if you can stick to your new year's resolution, then i can stick to mine and be the best road flare i can... what? you couldn't even last two weeks? in that case, consider mayhem officially back. so get allstate. and be better protected in 2018 from mayhem. like me. i'm trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar,

but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. gallbladder problems have happened in some people. tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation.

side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. change the course of your treatment. ask your doctor about victoza®. >> trace: more on the fallout from the president's oval office meeting on immigration and look at what it could mean for possible reforms. fox news sunday anchor chris wallace. great to see you. the way it lays out right now, you have the president saying he didn't say that. and then you have some republicans saying we don't recall hearing those exact words. but we've pretty much confirmed that he did, in fact, say this. in your estimation, chris, what is the impact of this? >> well, i there's two impacts. first is just the atmospheric, i'm not sure it'll make a huge difference. people who have not liked this report going to still not like him. maybe not like him a little bit more. those who do like him are probably going to ignore it the

way they have some of the things the president has said in the past. the more significant, and concrete impact, is as mike emanuel was talking about, the chances of making a deal on immigration which democrats say has to be made before they agree to funneled the government when it runs out of money at midnight next friday. just a week and a few hours from now. there were a lot of democrats on the left wing of the party, who didn't want to make any deal with this president, very upset with him on a variety of issues. didn't want to make a compromise. any deal to protect the dreamers is going to have to include some border security. i think this is only added some fuel to their resis tajs and going to make it tougher to get a deal. >> trace: particularly dick durbin. it seemed on tuesday, chris, that dick durbin was leaning toward working, getting the tonight make a deal, going back to congress and selling to it them. now if you look at the sound from this morning, these two appear to be at odds.

if you lose dick durbin, you lose one of your big salesmen taking this back to his democratic members. correct? >> well, there are two groups in the senate. one, is actually senate and house. the top vote counters, the whips, for republicans and democrats in the senate and the house. that group was just formed after that extraordinary meeting in the cabinet room on tuesday. they're nowhere. this other group, which is the one that met with the president, or at least members of it, lindsay graham and dick durbin, yesterday in the oval office, where these statements were made, they've been working on this bipartisan group, three republican senators, three democratic senators, for months now. they mooid made what they thought was a good faith effort to xree miz. it would protect the dreamers and give the president all the money he says he wants for the first installment of the wall, 1.5 billion dollars and a billion more for border security, plus a real limit on what is called chain migration, and an end to the visa lottery

program. it wasn't everything that the president wanted, wasn't everything the democrats wanted, that's what a compromise is. that's what the president threw out yesterday. so there are a lot of democrats who say, this was a pretty good deal and we felt like we gave a lot. if this is completely unacceptable to the white house is there a deal to be made. >> trace: as for political insiders, chris, you've been covering washington for a long time. if you go back to the meeting that happened yesterday, we know there's this long history of presidents and politicians using profanities in private meetings. should this have left the room in your estimation? >> well, you know, there are some people who were saying that, and in fact there are some republicans who sea say this was a breach of faith by, one assumes, dick durbin, he was the only democrat in the room. to put this out. on the other hand, you know, this wasn't an off the record meeting.

this was a meeting with a leader of the opposition party. you can say, well, should durbin have put it out. should the president have said it? should he, having said it, thought that dick durbin would keep his confidence. why would he think durbin is going protect him? >> trace: and what about the fallout from, you know, the dip low math, people overseas, working in these countries that -- the diplomats, people working in these countries. we're hearing about possible resignations. what are you hearing and what's your thought on how this affects the people in these zones to begin with? >> well, look, it obviously is upsetting to u.s. diplomats, a lot of foreign governments. there are a lot of things that president trump has said that have been upsetting to them. he is the president. they have to deal with it. in fact they have. we used to refer to ronald reagan as the teflon president in the sense that nothing stuck to him. when you think of the things

that candidate donald trump said, a lot of us thought would sink him, the things that president trump has said that we thought would sink him, he has a remarkable ability to power through this. my guess is in terms of that, in terms of the reaction around the world, that people, again, don't like him or have doubts about him, are going to continue to. i don't know it's going to have any dramatic effect. the one place where it may have a dramatic effect is on the ability to get a deal. immigration deal could affect the ability to funneled the government and avoid a shutdown next friday. >> trace: i know you aren't a media critic but i want your insight on the word itself. we chose not to use it on fox news, a lot of media outlets are using it, cable channels have had it on the lower third, on the bottom of the screen, have that word up there for hours upon hours upon hours. "washington post" and "new york times," their website has it 16, 17 times. would you use it if they said, chris, fox news sunday coming up, would you use it, is it not

appropriate, what's your take on that? >> well, i mean this is just my personal reaction, i think, you know, we have special problems, fox news sunday is not a cable show, it's a broadcast show that, creates other fcc regulations. we have different standards. i think i'd use it once to people should know what it was the president said. i don't think i would use it over and over as some of our cable competitors did. and i think almost as a weapon against the president. i don't think that's right. and in the end, i don't know it makes any difference. anybody who cares knows what it is the president said. >> trace: does this take steam away from other parts of the agenda? we're talking about iran a lot this week, north korea, other things. working on immigration here. does in take a little steam away from things that we should be focusing on, is it just distracting? >> sure. i mean, you can argue that's on us, as the media, that, you

know, we can cover whatever we want and we're, you know, focusing on this. you spent the first, what, 15, 18 minutes of the show on this. we're going spend a lot of time on it on fox news sunday. here's where i think it really does damage. the damaging book last week, the "fire and fury" book that raised questions about the president's fitness. i thought that was going to disappear, tell-all books have a short half-life. the president had that really remarkable meeting on tuesday where he invited the press corps into the cabinet room and spoke for, what, 55 minutes in control of the meeting, command of the facts. and that already began to kind of put this behind him. now, with this statement yesterday, the whole question of the president's fitness and temperament becomes an issue again. so often happened with this president, he, it seems to me, gets in the way of his record. i mean there are a lot of things he can point to, in the economic

sphere, in the war against isis, the appointment of judges, a lot of successes he has had. but so often whether it's a tweet or statement like, this it's a self-inflicted wound that distracts from people seeing what he has accomplished. >> trace: yeah, even some of his biggest fans say he's not doing himself any favors a lot of times. chris wallace, great to see you. chris will have more on fox news sunday with homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen and javier bacera, part of the lawsuit that led a federal judge to trerl block the president's plan to end the dreamers program. that is this sunday on your local fox station. check your tv listing for time in your area. good of you to join us, chris. president trump won't be heading to london next month because of a bad deal. some folks across the pond say they think there's another reason. we'll thoed london for a live report on that coming up next. h report on that coming up next.

>> trace: president trump cancelling his trip on london and blaming a bad real estate deal. he will not attend the opening of the new embassy, quote, i'm not a big fan of the obama administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in london for peanuts only to build a new one in an off location for $1.2 billion, bad deal. want mead to cut rib son, no. though it was president george w. bush's administration that decided to rel lolow kate the embassy. the final have sale was finalized under president obama. more on other parts of the president's tweet in a moment. last near when prime minister

theresa may invited him for a state visit thousands took to the street for protests, they say they were planning demonstrations next month as well. benjamin hall in london. the response to the president's visit kind of mixed. or cancelling the visit, right? >> yeah, trace, of course it is. wherever president trump goes he gets mixed responses. over here you have the government on one side saying the special relationship between the uk and u.s. is stronger, they're allies and they have a great relationship with the prime minister. you have the detractors such as london mayor kahn, always gloating, he's been a long-time critic of president trump today he tweeted this. he said at last many londoners made it clear that donald trump is not welcome here. whil he is pursuing such a divisive agenda, seems he finally got the message. others speculated the president changed his mind because of planned protests like the ones

we saw last year. on one facebook page more than 8,000 people had registered to attend a rally against limb. the foreign secretary here, boris johnson, with the rest of the government hit back hard about that tweeting this. the u.s.g.s. is the biggest single investor in the uk yet they seem determined to put i789 at risk. we will not allow u.s.-uk relations to be indangered by a puffed up pompous popinjay in city hall. you remember when president took office theresa may extended an invite for a state visit. that invitation still stands. the royal household looks forward to him coming and hope that date will be set soon. trace? >> trace: not often in the country do you hear pompous popinjay. the ambassador has been praising him there. >> right, president trump called

the deal peanuts, the sale of the old embassy pea newts. we don't know the ins and outs, it was sold around $1 billion, that covers the cost of the new emma ba si. the new ambassador today, who was appointed by president trump, wrote an op ed and laid out why the decision i can was taken. he said the new embassy is bigger, it's better, and capable of meeting the complex challenges of the 21st century. it is the most secure, high-tech embassy the u.s. has built and did not cost the taxpayers a cent. i spoke the contacts at the embassy they say they're upset they moved out of high ten tral london but it couldn't stand up to the high security that is required. we don't know the ins and outs of the property deal but the embassy had to move. here in the uk, divided response to president trump's decision. they look forward to having him come for a state visit in the future.

the mud up to his knees. but you can see the mud line on the wall is much higher. this is the damage inside a nearby chapel, the fire captain there says crews are still looking for survivors in the area. but as you might imagine, days after, hope is fading. let's get live to adam housley in montecito. adam? >> yeah, trace, that hope is fading but they haven't given up, they say there may be a chance to find some one alive. urban search and rescue is here in the area we're standing. look at this massive tree, the home there, we talked about how high the mud got, about six feet, came crashing through, tore off the back of the home. on the other side, the entire side of the home is gone. to my left over here, look at that boulder. the boulders that came through here, trace, were just massive. that one we're looking at right now is the size of probably two vehicles waggen bugs. -- volkswagen bugs. this home buried under mud. if you look you see the rocks.

if you go down the street, the hand crews in the area right now, trying to cut pathways for urban search and rescue to get in to the last few homes where they hope to find some one alive. the sheriff says they're not giving to give up home. >> we're going to continue in that mode looking at those structures a second time to determine if there's any possibility some one could still be alive. you know, in digs aster circumstances, there have been -- in disas center circumstances this have been march rick louse stories of people lasting many days. >> everyone hoping for that miraculous story. you have covered this stuff as well, trace. when you hear the team yell of the "quiet, quiet, quiet" you hope to hear a tap. so far nothing. >> trace: what about the victims themselves, adam, are we learning more about them? >> we are. i mean, it's pretty heartbreaking, elderly couple whose daughter was on the air the first day or two pleading

for anybody to hopefully find them they were found dead. brother and sister, 10-year-old and 3-year-old. 6-year-old boy whose mother somehow survived is in the hospital injured, but whose dad and sister are still missing, part of the five. the ages go from 3 to 89, trace. and as you might imagine, people in this neighborhood as they drive by, evacuated out, you can see them stop and take pictures. they knew each other. this is a small community. 10,000 people live here in the area. >> trace: what's next, adam, is there a timeline, have you heard when people come back, what are they telling you? >> yeah, it's going to be some time. some of them it's months and months to clean up. we have seen them caravan cars out in the areas that were not affected. probably two weeks for the majority of montecito. you talk about a lot of infrastructure. power crews in here, you have water, sewer, there's still boiling water effect, that's

going to be in effect for at least another week. this is some of the water lines. this water isn't coming from a creek, it's coming from a broken main. you have a lot of damage here, a lot of things need to be fixed in the basic infrastructure sense before they let people in. that's not counting the crew mechanics that have to have free access. >> trace: fingers crossed for them, adam, in santa barbara county. fox extreme weather center, chief meteorologist rick has the forecast. >> trace, last winter much of southern california had an incredible amount of rain. caused a super bloom this last year, a lot of vegetation grew, then we have had a lot of dry conditions again. vegetation dried. we have had fires where you have the fires, we end up with a chance when you get the next built of rain, that's what happened. next five days, take a look at this, dry conditions, back into this dry pattern for now across much of california. take a look at the next seven days, at the end of this picture here, might start getting a

little more moisture around southern california. you know how it is there, you like to get the moisture, when you get too much it's a bad thing. right now the next seven days look dry for any kind of efforts going on there for recovery, maybe a little bit more precipitation seven dales from now. trrg snow and rain hitting other parts of the country. >> that same storm that hit southern california has moved across the country, along with it pulled the cold air back down, northern plains, eventually toward the east again. you get the idea the cold air solidly in place across the northern plains. going to continue to stay in the same situation for the next couple of days. along with that, look at this, really warm terms for now across the east. that is all about to change. cold air is on its way behind the storm. this is what the storm looks like now. bringing snow all the way across parts of the south. earlier today across mississippi. a little bit of flakes in northern ashe, across the ohio river valley. all rain across the coast.

because of the snow last week, now the warm temperatures, then rain on top of that, locking at a flooding threat across parts of the east. winter storm warnings across northern parts much mississippi, up across areas of interior new england. coastal areas for now, it is all rain and melting snow with potentially a little bit of ice jams across? of the rivers here, this is melting quickly, then flash flooding across some of the more hilly areas. this is all out of here by tomorrow. and then the cold air comes back across much of the eastern half of the country for a number of days. trace? >> trace: oh, good, rick live in the fox weather center, thank you. the reason we have these mudslides, is because of the fires. the largest fire in california history is now completely contained. that according to officials with the u.s. forest service. they flew over the los padres fire, and they said the thomas fire is 100% surrounded.
