after sailing through the icy waters of the cyclone. ♪ hello and welcome to "fox news @ night," i am shannon bream in washington. we are hearing at this late hour that the president is reportedly making a flurry called a friends to get their reaction to the firestorm. what some are calling the s storm over the s-hole comment is now in the white house reportedly defending his remarks in those calls about haiti, el salvador, and african nation saying he is expressing what many people think but will not say publicly about troubled countries with high emigration to the u.s. saying president trump is not apologetic. he denies that he is a racist. he is blaming the media for distorting what he said. with that, let's bring in a scared penny with more good

morning. >> president trump continues to say that he made disparaging remarks about the oval office yesterday. he has become a major distraction for the administration in the midst of delicate negotiations trying to find a way to avoid a government shutdown. that was clear throughout the day as world leaders reacted to the president bulking at a proposed plan for the u.s. to allow more immigrants from haiti, el salvador and african nations calling them s-hole countries. and after signing a proclamation from martin luther king day. president trump ignored questions from the press about his statements. >> mr. president, are you a racist? >> we hope that he did not say those things. if he did, let's just apologize. >> these are shocking and shameful comments from the president of the united states. i'm sorry, but there is no word that one can use but racist. >> all of this believed any

other country. and it is unfortunate that he makes those statements. >> as we reported last night multiple sources inside and outside the white house confirmed to us that the president data use that disparaging language during his meaning. but today president trump denied it tweeting "the language used by me add to the daca meeting was tough, but this was not the language used." two g.o.p. senators in the meeting also issued a statement saying they do not recall hearing the president say those specific comments either. but bigger than the he said, she said, the white house is in the midst of its efforts to repeal democrats and republicans from daca and leaders in both parties acknowledge the fallout from the president's remarks is not making those negotiations any easier. >> yes, i read those comments later on last night. so the first thing that came to my mind was, very unfortunate. unhelpful. >> you have seen the comments in the press. i've not read one of them that

is inaccurate. >> congressional leaders are still optimistic that they will be able to reach a deal that addresses daca and border security. there is a new bipartisan group of four top lawmakers from the house in the senate that is working to sort through all of the ideas out there to see if they can come up with a deal that will pass muster with congress as well as the white house. >> shannon: that is going to be a tough climb, garrett tenney, thank you so much pride house democrats want censor the president over this whole discussion. democratic congressman and jerry nadler saying that the remarks have prepared us to get a resolution with our colleagues next week. to condemn president trump for his racist statements. republican senator johnny eiseman from georgia was not in the meeting that says this "that is not the kind of statement that the leader of the free world should make any law to be ashamed of himself." he is is the people of haiti and all mankind an apology." andy bigs, great to have you with us congressman. >> good to be with you, shannon.

>> shannon: do you want to weigh in on where we are in this conversation? >> i think that it is very interesting that we are getting mixed messages of what took place in the meeting. i think that that is very interesting. for one thing, then the second thing that the democrats are already preparing a motion resolution of center to go with the impeachment that they already had to go with the russian investigation that they wanted and now it has gone against them. all the way back to the day that he was elected they have been wanting to delegitimize this president. i do not think that this really helps the president or the democrats. the only people who believe anymore are the own base. >> shannon: al green, the one that brought the impeachment article before, racist bigotry is not enough. in congress talk is cheap, it is how we get two accounts. next week i will bring a resolution to impeach real donald trump right i will put my vote where my mouth is. repeal and replace trump. they have done this before about

58 democrats who voted to move forward. many in the party are saying, this is not a good look for us. we do not want to be running on the idea of impeachment. do you think that he will continue to bring this up for a vote and we will keep watching it not proceed, but to get enough votes to get some attention? >> i think so. this is what they are trying to do. and it will backfire on them. what we are seeing is it is where the republicans deliver with president trump and the economy and things that are going that way, it tells you all that you have is the racist card and delegitimizing president trump you are not going win over the independent said one to president trump's way and carried him to victory last year. it does not make sense to me. but that is where they are. >> shannon: you have written a piece, we talk about the substance of getting a deal done. government funding runs out a week from tonight at midnight. and of course the democrats are saying that daca has to be tied to that. you have written a piece since i basically until the wall is funded, started, and finished we should not be talking about any

kind of legal status for anybody who is here illegally. are you going to be able to hold that line? it sounds like the president is pushing for it. something will have to get done in one form or fashion. >> i will hold the line for sure, that's what i promised my voters and that's when my voters want and they expect. i received messages today about that op-ed supporting that position. and quite frankly, we've danced to this stance before 1986 we had an amnesty. what happened, we were promised all kinds of border security and internal enforcement. it did not have impaired it happened again when we wanted to build a wall. we built a wall, provided funding. and then the funding dried up. these are some real problems that we have seen before. so i am so mistrustful that i think that we keep our promise first and then not give up our leverage until we have built the wall. >> shannon: here's what the president said about the deal that he was presented with. he said the so-called bipartisan daca deal presented yesterday to myself and a group of republican

senators and congressmen was a big step backward. while was not funded, chain and lottery were made worse and usa would be forced to take large numbers of people from high crime countries. at the white house insider who told me that they do not consider the proposal serious at all. it sounds like if anything, it upset the president and may be, who knows provoke some of the rough language. but it does not seem like he provide linac believed that the leaders came in with a legitimate deal. >> i agree with that. when i read the aspects of the proposal that were released it was like a token for the fence. they get everything that they want to. is like that old gang of eight bill that we heard so much about derogatorily, by the way. and i think that this and to the durbin report. i hope that it is instructed to the president and maybe some of these people that are negotiating from the other side are not really they are in good faith. i think that they are there trying to make their political point. and they do not want daca, they want the dream act.

that is what they want. they are calling it daca. but they want a path to citizenship and a path to amnesty. that is part of the problem. >> shannon: let me ask you about the immediate concern which is government funding that runs out friday night. not too long from when the show goes off the air next friday. what is going to happen? the democrats are saying we let you go in december without insisting on daca or any protection for those individuals. we are not going to do it this time. while the government shutdown over daca? >> i do not believe that the government is going to shut down over daca. i think that you will see hopefully military funding, defense funding for the rest of the year and we will take care of some of the additional funding that needs to go there. but i do not think that you will see a government shutdown over daca. >> shannon: we will be here next friday night. feel free to join us but hopefully you have a solution on both sides of the aisle for this before we get to that point. andy bigs, great having with us. >> good to be with you. >> shannon: condemnation pouring in from overseas as well. nations dependent on u.s.

foreign aid like botswana. since 2004 they have received more than $750 million in aid relief because it is the third highest incidence of the disease in the world. he was sponsored donald trump's comments about the pots won in government, the summer of earl miller to quote "express its displeasure at the alleged utterances." despite of the crisis they have a lot to be proud of. ranked in the freest economy and considered the continents least corrupt. wanted our ambassador to qualify whether botswana is a s-hole. not everybody in africa disagrees with the president. 30-year-old says this. president donald trump is absolutely right. when you have heads of state who mess with the constitution to protect you weight their power. when you have rebel factions that killed children, disembowel women and who mutilate innocent civilians. before he was asked whether he was a racist by one of the press

pool as garrett tenney reported. the president signed a measure creating a new national historic park for martin luther king jr. in georgia. >> today that we celebrate martin luther king for standing up for the self-evident truths americans hold so dear that no matter what the color of her skin or the place of our birth e are all created equal by god. >> shannon: we will bring in radio host who is the editorial director for "the daily caller," and juan williams. great to have you with us. a lot of people look at that exact line from the president today saying you have dignity, you are a child of god no matter where you are born or who you are, juan williams, does that clean up the mess? >> not even close. the problem is that it is not like something just build on our desk and we say, hey, we have to clean this up. this is a day lose. you see it in terms of the fact that there is international condemnation, united nations condemnation.

something larger here at work and it speaks to the political problem in the short term is just too damaged to the president and standings paid but also damage as you have been pointing out throughout the night, shannon, in terms of his ability to get a deal that would avoid a government shutdown next friday. >> shannon: a lot of people think that this is a left cover to say we do not need due and negotiated with this guy, because he is not rational and a racist. >> yes, and i think the people of that. there are a lot of people that are rushing to accuse him of racism because they can weaponize it. it is valuable to them. look, remember where this week began. he had a bipartisan meeting with lawmakers, says bring me anything and i will sign it. it turns out that is not the case. they bring him something, he looks at it and is frustrated by it. he expresses that, then american lawmakers who are in the meeting leaked the conversation. where they are trying to have a negotiation. this is where we are standing in the world part of the president has and he should be held responsible, but the lawmakers who are leaking it out of the

conversation, if they want to confront the president they should do this one on one. but then we litigated in public and have to answer to other countries, that is unbelievable. everybody had a responsibility to act in a different matter. >> shannon: he had the successful meeting that was televised, bipartisan, talking about immigration. any of in the media reaction was like, well, this is a guy who is in control of things but not like the michael wolfe book at all. he has recalled, and he had some other good events. he had this dedication as we said to the special park marking of martin luther king jr. and today also commemorating the holiday that we celebrate in remark. we have heard from two members of king's family. we have our viewers knowing very well saying this is before the blank whole comment. i believe that donald trump is working hard to make america great again. and continues to demonstrate that he wants to do that for all americans on the question of racism not fitting the profile

to me. now we hear from martin luther king the third after the comments saying in the new york daily news. when you make a statement like you did yesterday, the question is do you understand why we have a martin luther king holiday? >> well, it is hard to take the sting out of it. but you just tried to -- you know, when i heard vince say play the race card and that his opponents delight in this but i do think that the president brought a lot of this on himself with the comments. so when you make comments in the oval office, guess what, it is going to leak. the idea is that when the white house was presented with the opportunity to say, the president did not say this yesterday, they did not say that. in fact, it looked like he was saying, listen, this is the way that people talk. he thought that it will play well with his base. i do not know how it is playing. >> shannon: i don't know if he thought that particular comment which he denies saying that exact word. he admits that there was coarse language in there.

>> people are also making a delineation that he is talking about the countries from which these people come from. and we will keep people in the united states that have protective status or had it until recently that come from countries who have such miserable conditions. that is an in elegant way of referencing that. >> the problem that i had was as i understand it he was talking about the lottery. and he really is an opponent of the lottery. he would like to do away with it. >> shannon: he has made that clear. >> in the discussion about the lottery you have the democrats coming in and saying, let's cut it in half but have special protections from people from especially or particularly distressed countries such as these. and the response was why do we need people coming from the s-hole countries? the people part of it is so offensive. >> those people specifically are the people who had protective status in the united states. they were looking to extend the slots from these diversity visa lottery's already in the united states. so these would not be people emigrating from these countries, they are already here. he does not want to see the

slots go to that people. >> shannon: we can continue the conversation for a while. it is good to see both of you on the friday night. >> happy friday, shannon. >> shannon: just last week the justice department and the fbi barely beat a deadline set by the house intelligence committee to hand over documents and witness lists related to the russian investigation. in it so dirty dossier. we have breaking news concerning the contents of those documents. courtesy of her own ed henry who has been doing digging for us. >> good to see a paid fox has learned that in two closed door meetings devin nunes told republican colleagues there is evidence that shows clear abuse. of surveillance programs by fbi and justice department officials. that is according to three sources familiar with the conversations. this is raising more questions about whether that anti-trump dossier was used by the obama administration to authorize surveillance of advisors to president trump. the california republican made these comments as you try to round up votes in favor of

renewing a key section of the foreign surveillance act known as 702 that eventually passed in the house on thursday. that part of the law gives power to the calls of foreigners who may be plotting terror. and there has not been an abuse of that section of the law. other sections have been misused by government officials with surveillance of americans. clear reference to allegations at the end of obama's administration in that top officials at the james comey lead fbi and loretta lynch led justice department authorized surveillance of trump officials. the comments came after he and other members of congress were given access last week to sensitive documents in a secure room of the justice department. raising questions about whether those documents show that the dossier paid in part by the dnc and the clinton camp was used to grant permission to trump officials. nunes is now pushing to get these documents in the hands of all 435 members of the house.

but the top democrat on the intel committee adam schiff will try to block that. he has said that nunes is acting as a proxy for the white house and this is an effort to shift the focus to the dossier and away from allegations of russian collusion in the 2016 campaign. meanwhile, tonight the group judicial watch has won another lawsuit. a federal judge ruling that by january 18th, the fbi has to give up the james comey memos. the ones that he wrote about one of his meetings with the president before he was fired. he has admitted that he gave those memos to a professor and a friend so that he could leak them to the media. allies of the president said that that was improper resulted in special counsel robert mueller being named in the first place. this is not the last that we have heard. >> shannon: great and interesting new insight. thank you very much. despite the tough week politically for the president, the economy is showing more increased strength. the dow jones industrial average is nearing 26,000. strategist say that there are numerous reasons for the

optimism. one of which is strong consumer spending. making up for two-thirds of the economic power. this past december was the strongest holiday season and seven years. retailer said that they had high hopes, but the results were even better than their wildest expectations. consider that in light of this. the irs and the treasury department releasing their new withholding tables for the new tax law. they estimate that 90% of workers are likely to see more take-home pay as soon as next month. russian president bellowed we are praising kim jong un, we will tell you what he said about the rogue leader. and talking tough with iran, will he walk up away from the obama era nuclear deal. jack keane joins us after the break. and soon we can see more of the taxes from an fbi agent kicked off the russian investigation. we will look at what that means for the mueller investigation. ♪ i tried hard to quit smoking. but when we brought our daughter home,

>> shannon: russian president vladimir putin believes north korean leader kim jong un has outwitted president trump in the standoff against north korea's weapons program. he told russians pop bank top media figures that he has a mature figure who wants to ease

tensions. he is absolutely competent and already a mature politician. president trump wants more nuclear missiles on flexibility in how they can be used. that is according to a lead to documents obtained by "the huffington post." sure to arrange lawmakers who have already held hearings of whether he is fit to control the current nuclear arsenal. speaking of nuclear ambitions, waving sanctions on iran, keeping president obama's nuclear deal in place for now. congress says that it wants to improve the existing deal. is that possible? should it be scrapped? how better to ask dan jack keane, four-star general. and the fox news strategic analyst. great to have you with us. before we get to the serious stuff, i have to ask you about the vladimir putin comment. >> he has a master at psychological warfare. i think that he got inside of their george w bush's head. i think that he manipulated president obama. and he has been manipulating trump. he knows that he has an ego and

all the rest of it. kim jong un is not manipulating donald trump nor his national security team at all. they are so clear about where he is coming from and what he is doing in the sense that the three previous presidents before him or not. >> shannon: okay, so, we hear today that the president is not going to wave sanctions, but he says, this is it. i'm not kidding around, if we do not have major changes, this is not going to happen the next time. he has made that stand. and now we hear from house minority leader nancy pelosi. she says attempts to unilaterally destroy the agreements will destroy america's leverage, credibility, and ability to hold iran accountable for its dangerous destabilizing activities in the region in many human rights violations against its citizens. she does not like with the is threatening. >> it is astounding that she makes a statement like that, because we are almost three years into the deal, shannon. and what has happened? the iranians are running the civil war in syria.

they are totally in charge. they brought the russians into the war. they started the civil war in yemen with the hootie's. they into lebanon 160,000 rockets and missiles now. they are so aggressive in the region since the deal. in the deal was supposed to legitimize them with the other big powers of the world given the credibility of the deal, and therefore changing the maligned behavior. as a result of the $100 billion windfall there behavior has increased. so what -- former speaker nancy pelosi is saying makes no sense whatsoever. iran is on the march in the middle east and they are building ballistic missiles. because they want to put nuclear weapons on us. >> shannon: we have a top leader from germany talking to some people in the u.k. and france, holding the deal together.

what is happening if the president decides to pull out? do you think that he will? >> i talked to a high government official today, who is clearly in the know. and he said, if the president is trying to get congress to make some changes to the deal. and here is what they are really focused on. number one, the so-called sunset clause, which permits iran to have a nuclear threshold capability short of a weapon in ten years and in 15 years and actual nuclear weapon. the deal permits that. stop that from happening, hold them in place right now i make that hold in place permanent. second, permit a very tough inspection of regime that's now currently denies us from the sophisticated military basis which nuclear research is going on. it makes no sense whatsoever, but that is why the obama administration gave into. if we just get those two things to fix the deal, then i think that president trump will go along with her. now we have something that makes some sense. if we do not get that, he will

probably walk away. >> shannon: we talked about the leak report from the pentagon looking at the nuclear capabilities and what we would like to add to the arsenal with the flexibility. it talked about a couple of new things that would armed subs with different nuclear actions as far as missiles. we had a reaction from a former obama administration official who works with president obama. john wolf saul, here's what he said about the report. >> i think that the document goes off the rails by calling for the development of not one, but two new types of nuclear weapons that would be deployed to both on submarines and on surface ships. >> shannon: quick reaction? >> first of all we have permitted their nuclear weapons to atrophy except for what we have on the submarines. this is bombers and particularly an account of the ballistic missile. the chinese and the russians have been upgrading us for years. we have been unwilling to put the money on that. as we have been unwilling to put the money on a lot of things in

the department of defense. our adversaries -- our adversaries are prompting this. the russians are nuclear tipping cruise missiles. and they are squeezing through a treaty to be able to do something like that. so we have no choice but also to lower the technology in terms of the kind of carriers for nuclear missiles and do the same as though hold them in check. and it is a dangerous situation, because the more nuclear weapons at the lowest tactical level as opposed to the strategic level of cities, the more likelihood they could be used. it is a dangerous situation. but i think that the united states is not have much choice in the direction that it is moving. >> shannon: to keep up with the others out there. general, great to see you. >> happy friday, shannon. >> shannon: you may not think that heading up the agency is incredibly dangerous, boring to most folks, but a growing list of trump administration that are

scott pruitt is a controversial administrator of the epa. seen it 13 times before he was deleted by president trump. and finds himself at the center of more agency drama. trace gallagher has that story. >> shannon, as a current head of the environmental protection agency and oklahoma general, scott pruitt has built his career by challenging what he calls the epa's activist agenda. he has made no bones about wanting to cut regulations, but he has made some enemies. and critics now say that his level of personal security is unprecedented. they also bemoan the fact that while president trump is threatening to slash a epa funding and jobs, the bill for the round security could run into the millions and that agents protecting permits are being pulled away from investigating other environmental crimes. the reason that scott pruitt is getting more security is because he is getting more threats. according to the epa system

inspector general, scott pruitt is getting four as many times as threats as his predecessors. through social media and letters and packages delivered to his home. scott pruitt himself told bloomberg the quantity and the volume as well as the type of threats are different. it is really disappointing to me as it is not just me, but my family as well. and the free beacon is reporting that one of these death threats came from a man who was drinking and got riled up watching the rado maddow -- rachel maddow show. the unidentified individual reportedly admitted sending threatening tweets to scott pruitt and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell part of the threats were serious enough to get the tulsa police department, fbi, and the joint terrorism task force involved. they are finding the u.s. attorney's office in arkansas which jay declined to prosecute. epa inspector general is looking into the cost of scott pruitt's

detail to comply with oversight regulations. and if you think that it is unusual that the head of the epa is getting threats, the head of the fcc is also getting death threats for opposing net neutrality and fighting for a free and open internet. spent >> shannon: all right, trace gallagher, thank you very much. the house of the chair intelligence committee has seen evidence of abuse of government surveillance programs by the fbi. and president trump accuses an fbi agent of committing treason. that is an expert and later when "night court" convenes, passengers on a norwegian cruise consider legal action after their shape sailed right into the bomb cyclone, the massive winter storm. we will break down the argument. ♪

♪ >> shannon: you heard it here forest of short while ago, chief correspondent ed henry reporting that house intelligence chairman devin nunes told colleagues he is seeing evidence of abuse by the fbi regarding government surveillance programs. was it a reference to that the dirty dossier? was it used by the obama administration to authorize the advisors during the 2016 election? let's unpack it, sitting pals, the author of "license to lie." and america first policy is, and westward, the correspondent at the "washington examiner." great great to have you with us tonight. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: i want to put up a couple of things out there for

things to consider. he said house intelligence chairman devin nunes told republican colleagues in two closed-door meetings tonight he has seen evidence of clear abuse of government surveillance programs by fbi and justice department officials. so now folks are asking whether that is connected to this. byron york's article in the "washington examiner" saying sources on capitol hill and the executive branch have confirmed that representatives with four committees. have had the opportunity to examine fisa documents in a secure room at the justice department. and they know the answer to though was the dossier used for a spine question? we have no way to know if they are length, what do you think? >> we have no way of knowing whether it was obtained fisa warrants, because there has not been a lot said publicly about how it was obtained. and there was a release this week by democrats on the senate judiciary committee of a transcript from the owner of the

firm that ultimately compiled the dossier that became a test of sorts. republicans who looked at the same said the timeline fits with this dossier having been used to jump-start the russian investigation at the fbi. and liberals who looked at this and said, look how credible the fbi sounds and the allegations in the dossier. there's a reason that it was used. cooperated by george papadopoulos at the time. and it was clearly evidence of potentially something going on with russia. so we still do not know how large the dossier factored into the fbi's decision-making. but it is certainly a good question. because remember that the dossier was at the end of the day funded by democrats and the hillary clinton campaign. >> shannon: sydney, as the entire investigation continues, on capitol hill and robert miller, there is somebody that polk should know about. his name is michael horwitz, who is he? >> he is the inspector general of the department of justice. he has been investigating the

page stroke text message problem. to the leak problem from doj and fbi. a lot of that is in turn negotiated with fusion gps. and if you look at my twitter feed, you can see that apparently thousands of additional pages of documents have been produced by the department of justice tonight to the house judiciary committee. so the house members are going to have a lot more to look at and we should be getting a lot more information in the future. but there is a substantial correlation. i have no doubt between the dossier and the fisa applications and to the fisa court itself has issued an opinion that everyone should read things to judicial watch funding it had to they have recognized abuses in the procedure. i think that admiral rogers recorded -- self-reported when he discovered it. there is no doubt that there up in gross abuses of the surveillance practices late in

the obama administration and the unmasking on the use of outbound queries to find out things that they should never have found out about americans. >> shannon: i want to responses from both of you, because we have the text messages uncovered, the president referred to them as committing treason, the lawyer is saying it is beyond reckless for the president of united states to use that thing which, i will get reaction from both of you. >> i think that it is a double edge sword to wade into the territory. on the one hand, him talking about it forces the media to cover it because they have to cover everything that he says. but on the other hand, he might undermine the credibility of the doj inspector general to turn this into a partisan football. he has to be careful how much he weaponize is a b for all of the facts have come out. >> the president is reflecting what the general public perceives and understands when they hear this information. when you have fbi agents conspiring to commit a coup.

and that helped the existing president through putting together evidence to perform an impeachment process or trying to impede his election in the first place. it is a common sense reaction to that. it may not be the statute that applies. i would look at 18 15-12b. obstruction of justice, misleading and deception. but there is a problem there. >> shannon: we know that to devin nunes is saying that he wants to make sure that all 435 members can see what he has seen and once that happens, we know that there will be leaks, because that is how it works. >> they need to see it too prayed in the taxpayers paid >> shannon: i'm sure he will work to that end as well. thank you both very much part have a great weekend. >> thank you. >> shannon: storm of controversy, passengers making waves over cruise that caused a bruising. you decide in "night court." adjust with the doctor ordered, president trump gets physical. we have some results ahead. ♪

says that it really was a total nightmare, she had kids with her and nobody was telling them what was going on, she said this, they did not care for her safety for the disabled, the elderly, the kids on the vote. i want them to apologize and think about how they are going to do better next time. well, they have gotten an apology letter and a $500 voucher for their next cruise, just like take care of its? >> i do not think so, this was not bad weather. this was something that they call bomb genesis or basically you have a 24 drop in atmospheric pressure over 24-hour period. it is a very extreme storm condition. and they knew about it several days before the vote left. so this is something that they knew they would have extreme weather rolling huge waves and people were going to get sick. when you take a cruise, it is not going from point a to point b. it is also the journey. so they reasonably should have known that it was going to be a very rough trip. and people were not going to not only enjoy it -- not enjoy it,

but very difficult to get through. >> shannon: this is what we heard from weather.com, the meteorologist said that forecast detected that a powerful and large pressure system would go many days in advance of january 3rd-4th. given the forecast intensity of that low powerful winds and high were given in the waters of the east coast. so what kind of obligation did the cruise company have? >> obviously this is an unfortunate situation, but also obviously, when you are traveling by ship on the ocean you may encounter bad weather. part of the guest ticket contract, a contract that binds the passenger on norwegian cruise states that you acknowledge that there may be conditions that are outside of the captain's control, outside of the ships management control. for any cruise line, there is continuous legal precedent that states. no implied warranty of states passage. they are not guaranteeing safe passage.

>> shannon: wow, i do not think that people realize that when they get on a cruise ship. >> that is not the case in the event that they know that there is going to be extreme weather. if they know that there is going to be extreme and very unusually extreme weather, which is the case here and it could possibly endanger the passengers if not to make the voyage miserable, they have an obligation to do the right thing which is delay the cruise or tell people about the extreme weather. to this was not something that was not under their control. they knew that it was coming. and notice a difference. if they had no idea, i would agree with her. but they knew that it was, and they went ahead and did the cruise anyway. we learned later that the reason that they did this is because they had to make it back for another 14 day cruise on the return trip. >> shannon: final word to you. >> we do not know that pressure. of course the captain of norwegian cruise is not going to want to put passengers in danger. there is no positive side or way to spend that. but there were conflicting weather reports prior to the

weather changes. that is a fact of life and something that we have known for a very long time. unfortunately this happened. but on the positive side, there were no injuries to any passengers. no injuries to her crew. and to the weather reports that they got to forecast the storm were conflicting in the beginning. >> shannon: they may get some financial damages because there are a lot of folks who are not happy with the response. we will watch and see. thank you very much. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: tweet us to let us know who should win the case. the commander in chief gets its first check up as president. will tell you what the doctor had to say next. had to say next. ♪ for 100 years,
