8:00 am
compares it to works of art from famous museums. the app finds portraits that are supposed to look somewhat like you. some of the results are already going viral. >> who would you be? a wacky picasso. a disjointed jackson pollock. >> thanks for joining us this morning. >> jon: happens right now. >> jon: and we start with the president on the defensive over accusations he is a racist after new concerns over a daca deal. good morning to you on this monday. i'm jon scott. >> melissa: i melissa francis. president trump denying that he made disparaging remarks about haitian and african nations during an oval office meeting with members of congress. that was last week. insisting that he is not a racist. when it comes to efforts to protect the dreamers, he is now blaming of democrats saying that they are the reason there is no agreement tweeting "honestly, i
8:01 am
don't think the democrats want to make a deal. they talk about daca but they don't want to help. we are ready, willing, and able to make a deal, but they don't want to. they don't want security at their border. they don't want. it just keeps going. chief house correspondent john roberts is live with the story. where are we on this? >> i can tell you one thing, we are miles away from where we were about a week ago at this time. remember, last tuesday the president had that meeting here at the white house. at 22 members of congress, almost the entire thing was televised and everybody sounded like we are very close to a daca deal here. that should be very easy to do. but listen to what the president is tweeting now. "daca is probably dead because the democrats don't really wanted. they just want to talk and take desperately needed money away from our military." at mar-a-lago yesterday going out to dinner with house majority leader kevin mccarthy, the president denied as you pointed out at the top that he made racist statements
8:02 am
in his oval office meeting with several members of congress including senator dick durbin and instead pointed the finger at democrats for holding up a deal on daca. listen here. >> i'm not a racist. i am the least racist person you have ever interviewed. i don't think the democrats want to make a deal. they talk about daca, but they don't want to help the daca people. they don't want security at the border. they don't want security. they don't want to stop. and they want to take money away from our military which we cannot do. >> jon: again, the president denied he ever use the word and that oval office meeting and those two senators who are in that meeting, senator purdue of georgia and cotton of arkansas doubling down the statement they released last week in which they said they didn't recall the president using the word s-hole. now sing definitively, he didn't say it. listen here. >> i'm telling you, it's a gross misrepresentation.
8:03 am
how many times you want me to say that? >> i said and they didn't hear what senator durbin has said repeatedly. senator durbin has a history of misrepresenting what happened in meetings. i was sitting right where dick durbin was. >> jon: another troubling element that shows you how far away we were from about a week ago, president trump says he now can't say whether there's going to be a government shutdown. this time last week, officials at the white house were quite confident that they were going to get a continuing resolution to prevent the government shut down on the 19th. that's is coming friday. now it looks like that's in question. the goal has been to get a continuing resolution and then work out all of the details about daca in the budget in between that time that they knew continuing resolution went to place, time expired sometime in february. all of that now is up in the ai air. >> melissa: my goodness. this is why we come to work every day, because it changes every single day. >> jon: is why you never even go out to lunch. >> melissa: can't do it.
8:04 am
ramping up on capitol hill with the deadline fast approaching on passing a spending bill. the president is blaming democrats for failing to reach a deal on the dreamers. >> i don't think the democrats want to make a deal. i think they talk about daca, but they don't want to help the daca people. we used to say that daca children but we have a lot of stinking points. we are ready, willing, unable to make a deal but they don't want to. you joining me now is jody arrington of texas. agriculture committee. thank you for joining us. where is the sinking point right now? what are some of the specific issues that everyone is hung up on? >> i think the president's right. i think the main sticking point is the democrats coming up to have a willing partner and they've got to come to the table serious about putting the
8:05 am
american people first in this negotiation. that's the only way to negotiate this. >> melissa: i'm trying to drill down on the difference between the words and actions because are so many accusations on words flying around and it's very to parse through. are they literally and not showing up to sit down and talk? are they asking for something that is so outrageous, you can't possibly do it? where we really? >> i think it's a little bit of both. nobody's interested in amnesty. people want to know that their safety and security and the american people want to know that their safety and security is first and foremost in these discussions. it's not that we aren't willing to give certainty and some legal status dr. recipients, but that we need to make sure that once and for all, we shut the border down from this and flow of illegal immigration and that we enforce the law. it said that we have to talk about passing laws to enforce the laws that are already on the
8:06 am
books, but we've got to prevent a situation where you have a rogue activist president like obama that will put us in a situation where we are back here working out a mess that was created again by a president and quite frankly courts that have no respect for rule of law. we've got to get that part right first and then i know i'm willing and i know most of my colleagues on the republican side are willing to give certainty, not amnesty, but legal status to these folks. we were brought here by no fault of their own. >> melissa: i hear what you're saying. you want some sort of border security. it seems like we made progress last week when the president bent over backwards during that meeting to change his language to wall system. i watched it live, he said it seven or eight times. going to have a wall end to end, some places where you don't need it. we are talking about more border security and it feels like
8:07 am
something that everyone on both sides has claimed they would agree to. democrats also want more border security and voted for it in the past. they don't like this idea of calling it a wall and making it like the great wall of china he seemed to concede that that wasn't what that what that is all about. it is all progress gone? >> i don't think it is. we need to learn tools and resources to secure the border. we also passed case law and other bills out of the house like no sanctuary for criminal aliens. we recently watched on the news is you had a guy that was supported five times hijacking a bus. so we have to have measures in place to ensure the enforcement of the law and the interior of the u.s., not just border security. this should be a basic fundamental issue that we can cover before we get to the daca
8:08 am
folks and start talking about what we expect there like that they have a job that we don't have criminals, that they get in the back of the line so we respect people who have gone through the legal channels and then we stop things like chain migration and things that are not helpful. and have devalued the citizenship in this country. >> melissa: how far you on those issues? you're not talking about democrats kind and throughout this idea they want to round people up and send them home and that's not what i heard you saying just now and that's not what we've heard the president saying it's about. establishing some way to stay but that is an automatic citizenship out of the gate, that there is a process, there are ways to qualify. are you any closer on that? when you really drill down to what we are talking about, that also doesn't sound like it that far apart. >> it isn't. i'm telling you my conversation with colleagues again, we don't
8:09 am
want to deport daca. i'm not interested in deporting the daca recipients but we are not interested in granting amnesty to them or their parent parents. we want to respect the rule of law and those who waited in line and are still in line for their citizenship. we want to give them some certainty. we don't want them looking over their shoulder constantly in fear of being deported. but we want to make sure again that we have the commitment from democrats because we don't have the votes in the senate to secure the border and stop the illegal immigration once and for all. that's what we are asking upfront to deal with but definitely as we have is a country with these folks who have come here on account of their parents. >> melissa: it must be very frustrating to you because it seems like you guys get very close when you talk about the details and then all of a sudden, the words kind of blow up a crazy town and we've gotten off the rails again. good luck to you. i hope you can sort it out. thanks for coming on . >> thanks, melissa.
8:10 am
>> jon: isn't that the definition of washington? president trump taking another jab at one of his favorite punching bags, the media is a republican senator compares his treatment of the press to one of the most notorious dictators in history. so what's behind the president's latest feud with the media to make our panel on that next. plus, the california mudslides going from bad to worse and a growing death toll. that story still to come. >> it's a little frustrating. it's martial law here. they were looters being caught in there so many gawkers and people that just have no business being in here. people would stare. psoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they see me. see me.

>> jon: i guess you could call it a war of word. in the president's latest fight against what she likes to call the fake news going up to "wall street journal" over a
8:14 am
single word in a statement he made to the paper in an interview about the north korea crisis. the president claims he said "i do have a great relationship with kim jong un. but here's the audio of the interview the paper release. >> as you know, i have a great relationship with my minister abby of japan. and i probably have a very good relationship with kim jong un. of north korea. >> jon: so the president said he said i'd have a good relationship. joining us now, editorial director of "the daily caller" " judy miller is a pulitzer prize winner investigator. ignoring the old advice that you should never pick a fight with someone who buys their ink by the barrel, the president has chosen to fight "the wall street journal" on
8:15 am
this. >> it is kind of hard to tell what he said in his defense whether he said i over i'd. >> it is, and people hear what they want to hear as we do know. but the fact that the matter is, there were four reporters in the room with tape recorders all of whom heard the statement that he had a good relationship, and the full transcript of the interview which "the wall street journal" released suggests that the president said he has a good relationship because the reporter was mystified. he said wait a minute, have even met him? and on the president refused to say whether or not he had met kim jong un or not. but this is just a vintage trump. why don't we get used to it at this point? wouldn't you rather talk about whether or not you said i or i'd then stormy daniels or the fact that your base may not be
8:16 am
unhappy about your decision to stick for a while longer with the iran deal. the president sets the agenda. he creates these deflections and distractions and we fall for it almost all the time. >> jon: but also, it has the effect of stepping on the accomplishments that he has made. the tax deal, the ink was barely dry on that tax deal, and all of a sudden, the president to eat something out that gets everybody talking about something else. >> when the tweets are free and the president does them a lot, no nail is too small for him to hit. "the wall street journal," big newspaper. i think for the most part, the president has agreed has reported on him rather fairly. if you're going to assess this conversation, who better to qualify it then the man whose mother came from the first place. in the end, even in the first version of this, him saying i probably have a good relationship or i probably have a good relationship, both of those are speculative about the nature of his relationship with kim jong un. >> jon: 's of the tie goes to the runner and in this case, the
8:17 am
runners the president. here's another event we can look forward to this week as tweeted by the president. the fake news awards, those going to the most corrupt and biased of the mainstream media will be presented to the losers on wednesday, january 17th. rather than this coming monday, this we went out a while ago. the interesting and importance of these ports far greater than anyone could've ever anticipated. that was january 7th. we have the fake news awards coming up this week. there has been, have been mistakes made in coverage of this president. >> there have been in a lot of reporters don't like donald trump. we know that. it's absolutely clear from the coverage from the editorials, but the fact of the matter is those of us in the news media who try and be fair to the president are still wondering why he hasn't as you pointed out
8:18 am
spoken more about his own accomplishments. if you look at the record so far, and i'm not a particular fan of mr. trump's, but black unemployment, here we are, martin luther king day is at an all-time low. unemployment is at an all-time low. if the stock market that an all-time high, companies are bit giving bonuses, there so much that he could talk about. instead, he's attacking the media. i continue to be mystified about how he thinks this expands his support in the polls would suggest it does quite the opposite. >> jon: the same day that the president is handing out the fake news awards, fins, outgoing arizona senator jeff flake is going to be giving a speech. he conveniently released a transcript to the associated press and in that speech again, the outgoing arizona senator who has feuded with this president compares president trump to stalin. what do you think that comparison? >> i think it's ridiculous.
8:19 am
joseph stalin murdered millions of people read and i think you can sort of make the case of the president of the states is emotionally unstable while simultaneously comparing him to a genocidal dictator. i don't think it's an even comparison by any means hen it's just more about the person who is saying that the person that he's trying to attack here. the president sends me tweets. that's the problem that jeff flake hasn't to compare him to stalin is ridiculous. >> i don't think he's doing that. i think he is comparing the president's use of the term enemy of the people to something that stalin said and that he said was so over-the-top that even he wouldn't permit it to be used. i don't think he's comparing the president to stalin. >> he's definitely comparing the two and i hear the point, i think all of these pushback that the president gives to the american press is a good thing in the end result because of what it forces consumers to do is be more media literate, to examine what they're reading and assess what's true. don't just believe it reflexively. assess whether or not it's true. and i think that's having a good
8:20 am
effect despite the fact that many reporters are very upset by the president of the united states. >> jon: just last week when the argument was just beginning to boil over the president's reported characterization of some countries that provide immigrants to this country, a couple of reporters tweeted out that ambassadors were resigning to protest with the president has said. it turned out that wasn't the case. the one resignation had been turned in back in december supposedly, the ambassador of haiti resigned and we don't have an ambassador to haiti at this moment. >> nobody ever said we are perfect. i would never say that about myself or many of the people that call themselves journalists. once again, you have to understand that an attack on the press and a free and independent press is an attack on a pillar of our democracy. we are not perfect, we go out there every day and try to do a job and i think the president could spend his time much more
8:21 am
productively. >> my last thought here is there's no comparison between president trump and the prior administration versus treatment of the press. sees the phone records of the associated press and constantly turn down transparency request by reporters. there is no comparison to the way these two presidents have behaved when it comes to the press. this president just says things out loud. when there is a difference in the way the press regards those two presidents. we can agree on that. judy miller him a thank you both. >> thank you, john. >> melissa: southern california still reeling from deadly mudslides as more bodies are recovered. by the hope of finding any more survivors now is fading. meanwhile, temperatures plummeting again in the northeast causing significant icing in the hudson river. now the coast guard is issuing warnings. rick leventhal has a live repor report. >> we are on bridge of the

>> jon: residence in santa barbara county still reeling from the devastating fires in the area. playing with those still missing are found. officials now say 20 people are dead and at least four people are still missing. authorities announcing their mission is shifting from search and rescue to search and recovery, diminishing the likelihood of finding any more survivors. >> melissa: temperatures in the northeast plummeting again over the weekend, causing rivers to jam with ice.
8:26 am
now the u.s. coast guard is on a mission to break through that ice to clear critical shipping. rick leventhal is live traveling up the hudson river. >> let me start by saying it's really cold. we are on the u.s. coast guard cutter heading north up the hudson river. this is a 140-foot icebreaking tub that we are writing towards kingston and albany which is many miles north of us. there was a stretch of 755 miles in that area that is completely iced over and the mission of the coast guard is to clear path for passenger ferries and commercial fishing vessels and cargo ships primarily oil tankers. what you're looking at right now, the ice in the river is pretty bad but ships could get through it prayed what we are heading towards a solid ice and that's what they need to break up trade so that those oil tankers carrying the heating oil keep folks warm during this rigid cold winter. some 90% of the heating oil that's used in the northeast is actually carried by barges and
8:27 am
ships here on the hudson river. that's according to the u.s. coast guard who says is of cold enough for this river to freeze over, they will be out here every day cutting through those eyes. we can hear more from the captain of this vessel, chris valdes. >> every night, the barges can get through that ice. every day, has to go out and bring these tracks and ensure the barges have the commerce flow of the hudson river doesn't stop. >> we have some drone footage that was shot last week of the coast guard out breaking up ice along a stretch of river that we are headed to right now, and you can probably see just how bad things are appear. very unusual for them to have this much ice this early in the winter. last year, didn't really have any problems with ice. it was much warmer this year. obviously a lot colder and a lot worse. they have a system on these ships called the solar system
8:28 am
that forces bubbles up from underneath the ship to reduce the friction on the ice and allows the cutters to make a better path through the ice. they said they're going to do about 15 miles of ice cutting today and at about 45 miles a day every day for the next couple of weeks and then another crew comes in to do with this crew is doing and they're going to keep the shipping lanes open so these cargo ships and fishing vessels can keep getting through and doing the work they need to do. i don't know if you heard that, but we are getting pretty big chunks right now. it's going to be a rougher right as we move further north. >> that is so cool. i've seen them out there doing that bob is a not a close like that. it's amazing to see what it looks like from right there. go back inside, get warm. thank you. dealing with an ice jam after heavy rain and freezing temperatures caused the river to flood, this is just one of several side streets and agusta overrun with ice and water businesses. reporting waters as high as three to 8 feet.
8:29 am
this is parking lot. the body of water. if the parking lot. according to officials, 15 to 20 vehicles were either completely submerged or they were encased in ice. so all of this no matter how cold you are right now, it could be worse. >> jon: maybe rick can take that coast guard cutter through the parking lot and help get rid of this. they do look at that. i used to live in maine, it was very chilly. >> jon: they are hardy folk up there. nobody likes to have a flood like that to deal with. republicans are expressing new concerns about the midterm elections in their party's prospects amid fears of a democratic wave. so what does the political landscape look like the g.o.p.? our panel up next with that. plus, greyhound passengers taking on a terrifying ride, a high-speed police chase has beget disturbing new details
8:30 am
about the suspect in custody. >> mr. vargas, the 33-year-old has been in our country illegally and in fact was supported some time ago back to mexico and by virtue of his actions last night, he sat back and threatening to kill americans. ♪

>> jon: a greyhound bus ride turns into a terrifying ordeal. now one of the passengers is under arrest for allegedly threatening other writers on the bus trip from milwaukee to chicago. the incident sparked the police pursued that ended in northern illinois. officers throwing down spike strips to blow out the bus' tires. authorities layer saying the suspect is an illegal immigrant who was previously deported five times. matt finn live from our chicago bureau with more on that. >> the bus left wisconsin bound to chicago friday night and shortly after his departure, he became very scary. please tell us at least two passengers on board called 911 about this illegal immigrant. they say he was pacing back and forth going to shoot and kill everyone in reaching towards his waistband. then, to make this right even more horrifying for passengers, and police cars caught up to the bus and attempted to pull it over, the bus driver did not stop. police had to put down two separate spike strips. police said the driver was
8:35 am
clearly confused and might affect the police were there to assist him versus pulling him over. here's one of the one of passengers aboard and the responding deputy had to say. >> he was acting crazy. almost felt like a terrorist situation because you're on a bus and the guy is saying he has a good. >> we dodged a bullet in my view. >> when police finally got the bus stop, the illegal immigrant was ordered off it by gunpoint and arrested. fortunately, he did not have a weapon and no one was hurt. little we know about this illegal immigrant as he does not have legal status in the united states was deported to mexico once for traffic offenses. he is being held in wisconsin jail right now without bond and he was thin and for a judge and wednesday where we will learn a little bit about his background. >> jon: had to be a terrifying ride for the rest of those passengers. matt finn keeping us updated from chicago. >> melissa: as we get closer to the 2018 midterms, new concerns among republicans that
8:36 am
democrats would win big this year with a lot of house republicans retiring. you heard lot about that lately. then-president trump filling the g.o.p. a little bit off message at times. the spring in our panel. radio talk show host and fox news contributor richard fowler. former special assistant to the president and press secretary to vice president pence. thanks to both of you for joining us. i heard someone say over the weekend that this could be the first election ever where people don't vote on the economy and don't vote on their wallet, and i thought i kind of doubt it. doesn't the economy rule at the end of the day? >> generally speaking. there have been a few elections that have been more national security focus in the past but generally speaking, people vote their wallets and that's why i think republicans are in a good position heading into 2018. it's going to be historical challenge, we know that. when you look at the economy, historic highs in the stock market, historic lows and unemployment. hispanic unemployment, millions
8:37 am
of jobs being created in millions of americans getting bonuses and raises because of the tax cut plan, that's a good position for the republicans to be in. >> melissa: when different controversies crop up, the president said this. the whole back and forth. it seems like perhaps it doesn't change people's mind about how they feel about him, but it does rub off on those around him in on the rest of his party as people decide i want to reinforce this what we want to put a check on this? what you think of that? >> you're exactly right, that people are trying to put a check on what they don't like. the good news for republicans as they are in the stock market high. the question now is will the president and his policies be felt by everyday americans and beyond feeling that, as the campaign on that. that's going to be the hard part for this president because over and over again, he is constantly embroiled in these small miniature conflicts about what he said, but he didn't say that to get away from the public and
8:38 am
message, takes it from party unity and it makes it a lot easier for democrats to make a case that this guy is unstable and republicans are getting anything done in washington. >> melissa: on the flip side of that because that is accurate but he was also battling steve bannon from the right and he was also battling people within his own party, and he has eliminated one of those threats. so as not like you're going to have steve bannon out there having something happen like what happened in alabama. >> i think that's right but you have to remember, these elections are going to come down to two names or multiple names on the ballot. right now, there's a lot of speculation in terms of generic ballots and general feelings. when it comes to candidate a who supports tax cuts and wants tougher security versus candidate b who wants higher taxes and slower growth in a weaker defense, those are very powerful positions to begin in the other thing that's really important to remember is that republicans have about a two to one cash advantage right now in terms of their fund-raising
8:39 am
efforts. they're going to have the means to be able to get their message out. democrats are still trying to pay off debt from previous elections. >> let me make one point here is a very valuable point to make. one is it's also going to matter what happens on the ground. all politics are local. if you look at the virginia governor's race in the virginia democrats the house of delegates that you saw there as they found candidates that can run in these particular districts and run very well. if democrats can do that again in 2018, sort of seeing the signs that they will do that, is going to be trouble for republicans when you have a lot of retirement and the name i.d. goes away. that is the trump by the grace of this guy who lived here for a long time, knows the neighbor in the community and wins every time. we do see saying it comes down to who is actually on the ballot. a good insight, you're right about that. thanks to both of you. >> jon: widespread panic over the weekend caused by the false missile alarm sent to residents and tourists in hawaii to bring
8:40 am
concerns about u.s. readiness for real threat. we will discuss it with our next guest, former commander of the 7th fleet. >> this is a mistake, but don't let that stop us with preparation and warning time at this happens for real.
8:41 am
8:42 am
8:43 am
>> jon: new information on the chaos and confusion in hawaii over the weekend of the false alarm about an incoming missile strike. that's highlighting the very real threat from north korea. here's hawaii congresswoman pulled together. >> i've been calling for president trump to sit across the table from kim jong un without preconditions. look out the differences, figure out a way to build this pathway denuclearization because there is so much at stake. the people of hawaii recognize this yesterday experience it personally. of the leaders of this country need to experience that same visceral understanding of how
8:44 am
lives are at stake. >> jon: let's bring in admiral robert matter, retired u.s. av four-star admiral, former commander of the oven fleet in japan. you had nuclear weapons essentially under your control obviously with the president say so, but you know how serious an issue this is. what you think about what congresswoman had to say there? >> i think number one, every administration since the end of the korean war is attempted to solidify a permanent peace between the two koreas. the reality is, north korea is not interested in dialogue except to advance their own development of their long-range missiles and nuclear weapons programs. so it takes two to have real dialogue here. >> jon: are you saying that the congresswoman advice of sitting down with kim jong un would be futile?
8:45 am
>> again, and there's no opposite on the table, yes. you got to have both parties willing to sit down and come to some real decision-making, and that hasn't been the case with north korea since the end of the korean war. >> jon: north korea has reached agreements with the united states and others in the past on his military weapons program and essentially just tore them up. >> they use them in order to get the pressure off them economically. and then continued their own program development surreptitiously. it wasn't the president of hawaii got these notices on the mobile phone and so forth that they should prepare for a ballistic missile attack. it took 40 minutes to correct that misinformation. give us your sense of why that happened and what should be done to prevent a repeat? >> first of all, i applaud the state of hawaii and their
8:46 am
leaders for testing and implementing the system. no human interface defense system is without the potential for mistakes. in the training is necessary, they found that out. the reality is, there were zero fatalities and no reports of so much as a stubbed toe. having said that, they learned a very valuable lesson here that they need to improve their defense system in the early warning system. i think that hawaii has got the right approach to get this right so that if god god forbid thers an attack, they will be appropriately warned. >> jon: apparently, it was a drop-down menu when the guy clicks on a bar at the top of his screen and in menu drops down and one of them says test missile alert then one says test practice mercy missile alert. pick the wrong one. if i had a nickel for every time i've messed up but drop-down menu, i'd be a very wealthy guy.
