the tromp tax cuts, it will spend $30 billion over five years, creating 20,000 new jobs in the united states. hallelujah. not quite the apocalypse nancy pelosi predicted. don't worry, nancy. at this rate, you may still get one into november. that's it for tonight, take it away, shannon bream and washington. great economic news. >> shannon: thank you. here's what we've got coming up tonight. under fire from republicans and democrats over daca and funding the government. the trump administration speaks out. fixed news awards. "fox news @ night" exclusive with mercedes schlapp. members of the inner circle testify behind closed doors. some raise questions about what president obama's justice

department may have had in the dirty dossier. byron york has the latest on the russian probe. i had a vice president mike pence's first trip to the middle east, signs the trump administration may revive hope for peace. former u.n. ambassador john bolton will preview the trip. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. new tonight: senate democrats taking a harder line on negotiations over a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open past a friday night deadline. gambling that the g.o.p. will take all the heat if a shutdown happens. according to the hill website, two days before possible government shutdown, 4 of 70 democrats who backed the short-term funding measure passed last month say they are not going to do it again. house republicans help to send one measure to the senate as soon as tomorrow i was some in

the g.o.p. saying they are going to vote no, republicans clearly need every vote they can get. we have team coverage. leland vittert will talk about the president's fake news awards but first ed henry is here with the latest. >> a lot happening tonight. senator joe manchin summed up where we are. the democrat said that over 300 million people may be punished for washington's dysfunction is terrible. white house officials are going further, charging democrats are putting national security in jeopardy to get legal status for the children of illegal immigrants. on a day when president trump went to the hill to help give former senator bob dole the congressional gold medal to celebrate his legacy of compromise, both sides helplessly deadlocked. the president bluntly telling reuters the bipartisan immigration proposal pushed by lindsey graham and dick durbin is "horrible," and the opposite of what he campaigned on.

this white house is sending signals at least it is trying to compromise. chief of staff john kelly meeting with congressional hispanic caucus today and telling bret baier that a deal can be had if democrats would simply meet the president halfway on his bush cracked -- his push to crack down on illegal illegal immigration. >> additional wall to include the fencing that's there. about $20 million. >> 700 miles of fence or wall will be compromised from the 2,000-mile talked about. durbin and other democrats made clear they have no plans don't compromise on funding for the wall or ending the visa lottery program. they are threatening to vote no on a budget deal that would give the government open unless it deals with daca. prompting republicans to charge any disruption to military readiness will be the democrats fault.

>> we want to do everything we can to avoid a shutdown but we democrats believe if there is one client will fall on the republicans posture as back straight stick of the president doesn't want a shutdown. if one happens, you have one place to look, the democrats. they are holding the military and national security hostage. >> one of the most important players, paul ryan, declared its most basic responsibly of congress. common defense of america. he is pushing a deal that keeps the government open. nothing on daca. deal with that later but gives democrats an extension of a children's health program. during democrats to oppose it. the truth is a shutdown is not really a shutdown anyway. all critical government agencies stay open. border patrol, military troops. their paychecks could be delaye delayed. a businessman named donald trump tweeted about this in 2013 saying there is this hype about

government shutdowns. it doesn't really fully shut down. now he's president. may have different ideas. >> shannon: polling shows he and the g.o.p. may pay if that happens. this game of chicken continues. president trump's long promised fake news awards are out. they come us and within his own party or criticizing the way he is treating the press. >> not only has the past year seen an american president borrow despotic language to refer to the free press but it seems he is now in turn inspired dictators and authoritarians with his own language. >> shannon: leland vittert joins us. what time we got? >> the president called it the highly anticipated fake news awards. the results were in such demand this evening that when the president tweeted this link to the awards, traffic overwhelmed the g.o.p.'s web server and the server went off-line.

the internet has recovered and here are the top five. number five, the tweet by "washington post" reporter showing a picture of a partially empty 12 rally taken hours before the event with the quote "facts to the rafters." the president tweeted his demand for retraction and apology complete with pictures of the rally when he spoke with the rally actually packed to the rafters. the reporter kept his job but tweeted an apology, noting that the president was fair to call them out. number four, and the hours of the trump administration a pool report from the oval office. there was a reporter there for follow-up, sent out a note that martin luther king's bust was no longer there. the erroneous white house pool report ricocheted around the internet, prompted multiple apologies by the reporter along with a photo off of the president in the oval office with the best.

there you see a picture of the bust. cnn report, during the campaign that donald trump jr. had a sneak peek at hacked documents from wikileaks. that report cited in emails c virus forces, cnn admitted their sources got the dates wrong. the smoking gun email came after the documents are posted. cnn clarify their part. brian ross' bombshell report that sent the stock market tumbling. >> he is preparing to testify that president trump is a candidate ordered him to make contact with the russians which contradicts everything at this point. >> abc said they couldn't stand by their story and then suspended ross. number one in the white house, with a found to be the most fake news, a column by nobel prize-winning economist paul krugman with his predictions for the trump presidency.

writing just after mr. trump's improbable victory for "the new york times," krugman said if the question is when markets will recover, a first pass answer is never. since that date, the dow has set a record after record from including today, closing above 26,000 for the first time. krugman's 2018 column on new year's day acknowledged as much. "i gave in temporarily to a temptation i warn others about. i let my political feelings distort my economic judgment." and he doubled down on his prediction of something bad happening, although he admitted he couldn't tell us what might be or when it would happen. >> shannon: well, we will stay tuned, thank you very much. >> suggesting that the white house hasn't been clear where it stands on a daca deal. >> i am looking for something

that president trump supports and he's not yet indicated what measure he's willing to sign. as soon as we figure out what he's for, then i would be convinced that we were not just spinning our wheels. >> shannon: joining us now, white house senior advisor for strategic communications, mercedes schlapp. does that surprise you? the white house has been clear on some things but some of the senators don't get the whole program. speak of the president has been very clear on what he expects from a daca deal. his priorities, dealing with daca, securing the border, ending chain migration and the visa lottery. this is something the president talked about tuesday in the meeting where he was with members of the house and senate, democrats and republicans. he asked them to come up with a

bipartisan framework on a daca deal. this is the responsibility of congress to produce a product, something the president can support. it's something we haven't seen yet, especially not one senator graham and senator durbin came to the white house. it was a weak proposal and the president has for months laid out his immigration priorities. what we need to do to end illegal immigration. in short -- ensure we don't recreate a second daca. >> shannon: in the house proposal, this bh proposal. some kind of temporary renewable legal status for daca, 30 billion for a while, ending chain migration and the result lottery, mandating e-verify and of the doj would be allowed to withhold money from sanctuary jurisdictions. that sounds tough. on the senate side, a path to

citizenship for daca, changing, not abolishing the visa lottery. same thing with chain migration. not completely getting rid of i it. border security, not just a while. how do those sites get together? >> that's going to be a big challenge. this is what the president has proposed for the house and senate to find a solution on the daca deal. obviously we can find the common ground when you are talking about border security for instance. it's very clear that dhs has told the president and talked to congress about the need of ensuring that we have a wall that's built. what we see in the senate proposal, they are not proposing enough money. it's one-tenth of the funding we need. the other part is the senate proposal increases illegal immigration. it doesn't end the diversity visa lottery. what happens is it does lead to increased illegal immigration. why do we want to be in that

situation? makes no sense. >> shannon: is that why the president got so mad last week? he didn't take it seriously and he didn't like with a broad. general kelly said the president got a call. he talked to people on the hill and brings everybody together for meeting then the president is upset. >> shannon: the durbin and graham proposal has been in the works for some time. the president wants to solve the daca situation in good faith and has asked congress to come up with solutions that he would support but it has to include his priorities. yes, he was frustrated when senator durbin and senator graham came over and said we have the solution. when he read the proposal, it obviously did not fit what he was expecting. we have a serious situation where we need to ensure that we

have to stop, where dhs has the authority to be with to expedite the removal of illegals coming in through the border. where we have our i.c.e. agents, where they are in empowered so they can remove chemical aliens- criminal aliens. we have lacked control in our immigration system for decades. i've been working on this issue since the days of george w. bush. we have not been able to resolve this and it's under president trump's leadership is willing to make a deal but they need to come with the right deal which will include not creating a second wave of daca recipients coming in but being able to control the illegal immigration issue and also allow for responsible regression reform. we want integrates immigrants t we want a merit-based system. steve what we know this isn't

happening by friday. you have democrats and some republicans say they are not going to vote for a short-term funding deal. some of them are saying it's because of they don't get daca or some kind of deal, we run out of money at midnight on friday. there is this battle over what happens. former representative, steve israel, democrat had this to say. he said republicans cannot afford to shutdown the governmente ever had. democrats have the upper hand and they should play it. >> i think the democrats lose if the government shuts down. they are holding funding for the troops hostage, funding for national security, they are playing politics over our country. the president has made a very clear he does not want the government to shutdown. many republicans are saying they

don't want the government to shut down. we need a solution. >> shannon: when he said we need a good shutdown sometimes. they are going to say the republicans control the white house and both houses of congress. >> you need 60 votes to pass the budget. >> shannon: do you think americans get that? >> you need democrats to go with republicans in order for the budget to pass. for the continuing resolution to pass on the short-term spending bill, they need democrats. if the democrats are going to play this game, they will be impacted to the end because there are so many republicans including the president saying we do not want to shut down the government. we need to ensure we get a daca deal and they submitted the budget months ago and congress has not acted in terms of passing the budget. it impacts the readiness of our military and secretary mattis has done, met with republicans and democrats and said that the plan long-term in terms of

military we need to have a budget in place. that's why it's important and imperative that congress works to get this budget done. >> shannon: i got to ask, how much fun did the president have putting together the fake news awards? >> the president wanted to highlight the errors but some of these media outlets have committed and i think it was one of these moments that i think it just shows that some of these media outlets are out there to attack the president. i think the president really enjoyed being out there talking about the fake news. it's gotten a lot of coverage, especially on social media. >> shannon: mercedes, great to see you. thanks. executives from the three biggest social media networks were on capitol hill today testifying about their company's efforts to combat online terror recruitment and answering questions about russian meddling in the 2016 election. facebook, twitter, youtube discussed concerns with senator

senators. protocols that are implementing to keep terrorists off their networks and conceding the fight is ongoing because the behavior of bad actors evolves. rex tillerson signaling a long-term commitment to syria. he says america will maintain its military presence there to prevent an ice scumbag -- isis come back. >> we cannot make the same mistakes that were made in 2011 when a departure from 20 rock allowed al qaeda in iraq to survive. it was that vacuum that allowed isis and other terrorist organizations to wreak havoc. >> shannon: securing a successful u.n. peace process, getting bashar al-assad to leave power, reading syria of iran's influence and eradicating weapons of mass -- motion.

the president versus the press. how effective are the fake news awards? one of the deadliest shootings ever, a report that investigators have not given up in the hunt for a potential accomplice or others to the las vegas shooting. new details. california scrambles. trace gallagher is all over it. you know what's awesome? gig-speed internet.

you know what's not awesome? when only certain people can get it. let's fix that. let's give this guy gig- really? and these kids, and these guys, him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone.

now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. >> shannon: the fake news awards are going viral of the same time the president is being blasted by members of his own party. is it smart politics or will the fake news awards backfire? let's bring in david gainor and leslie marshall. i'm assuming you've had a chance to look at the list. not surprising there's going to be jabs at "the new york times," cnn and others. dan, any surprises or additions? >> you would have to couple digits if i did the list. i can throw a few more at cnn. they already had four. i would give jim acosta one for being a diva.

sanjay gupta for refusing to accept the facts of the president's health and brian seltzer for everything he puts on a show. pretending the president is crazy dear whatever hyperbolic silliness. >> i wasn't surprised at the list. i could've told you what it was. and gone to vegas. i would add the president himself for fake news i think he had about averaging five nonfacts the day he was tweetin tweeting. whether it's not many people when it was 20 million with obamacare. the biggest tax cut when that belongs to reagan. the list goes on. i would add the president himself. >> shannon: let's talk. within the republican party there are critics who don't think the president should be taking on the media. op-ed written by

senator mccain said "the phrase fake news, granted legitimacy by an american president, is being used by autographs to silence reporters." and then there is this from senator jeff flake. >> mr. president, it's a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by joseph stalin to describe his enemies. >> shannon: dan, senator flake said he's not comparing the two. stalin was a murderer. this president isn't but he was talking about the language. >> to use the name stalin in the context of trump is so foul. stalin killed 25 million people. the genocide of ukrainians is not very much reported or remembered. to make the comparison to a

dictator just because he doesn't like trump's tweets is utterly insane. the person who needs the mental health test is not donald trump. it's jeff flake. >> shannon: i don't think that's going to happen. speaking of that test, we want to talk about the president's position appointed by president obama. he's done many checkups hadn't good things to say but they couldn't accept it. he was asked, does the president have heart disease? he said no. then we get this from sanjay gupta. >> by all standards and metrics anyway a cardiologist would look at it, the president does have heart disease. >> shannon: his physician said he doesn't and yet the mainstream media can't seem to accept it. >> i always have a problem. we talk about this, my husband is a physician.

physicians that have opinions on patients they've never met, touched, never examined. i have a problem that sanjay gupta, how can you diagnose a patient when they have never been a patient of yours. the president has not been seen by sanjay gupta. however we don't see any physician saying i'm concerned about this or that. i think some people are concerned, as anyone should be if someone has a bad diet, is overweight, high bad cholesterol as the president does. that's not indicative of heart disease. heart disease is rendered by many other factors. i was shocked that sanjay gupta said that because he never examined the president. >> shannon: he did say may be cut back on that kfc and may be more exercise. he did say there is room for improvement. >> then you see morning joe becoming a girther truther and

left-wing websites pretending trump is not the height or weight he isn't questioning a doctor who is a rear admiral and who was obama's personally appointed physician. the media won't accept any facts. >> shannon: i am surprised none of them got added to the awards given out tonight. maybe the president felt good about what happened yesterday. great to see both. no fake news here. it's time for our real noose around. stocks rocketing higher as apple announces plans to hire. dow punching through 26,000. the tech giants has its investing billions of dollars in its u.s. operations pledging thousands of new jobs and a new tech center. apple may repatriate $245 billion, nearly all of its overseas cash. while silicon valley barely left the trump tax cuts, it is still leaning left politically. the founder of s&p disco area

record and extremes with police, that's one of the many reasons why we don't have the diversity of representation that we need in the u.s. senate. we are glad to see she is running and we will be watching that race." we will too. unrivaled or unraveled? a series on president trump's first year in office with a look at his leadership style. it's like nothing we've ever seen before. trace gallagher investigates why the administration's immigration crackdown has california college student scrambling. and democrats worry about losing a congressional seat. potentially big breakthrough in the las vegas shooting probe. could there be new indictments coming possibly soon?

>> shannon: a lawyer for las vegas police has the investigation into the mass shooting continues and that there are potential charges coming. police spokeswoman says the department is considering possible criminal charges

related to items discovered in the process of carrying out search warrants. police aren't publicly elaborating on what they found her who could not be those charges. california university officials urging students renew their daca status amid reports of possible sweeps for illegal immigrants. trace gallagher is following the story. >> california is scrambling because the state is unsure how long the window of opportunity will last. an injunction by a federal appeals court last week forced the federal government to reopen daca to those whose permits had either expired or were about to expire. now california attorney general xavier becerra and the head of the california university system, janet napolitano, who helped create daca, are sending a message to dreamers telling them to enroll now and reapply. >> there is guidance on the uc

website about what steps you need to take. we have legal services available to assist you. there may be funds to help you with your application fee. >> california has set aside tens of millions of dollars to help the dreamers pay their $495 application fee. some 70,000 dreamers are enrolled in the states junior colleges. another 12,000 in the state university system. let's daca protections are temporary. the fix has to come from congress and the federal government has made clear it will ignore california's new sanctuary state policy. here is the director of immigrations and customs enforcement. >> california better hold on tight. they are about to see more special agents, more deportations. if the politicians in california

don't want to protect their communities, then i.c.e. will. >> there is rising fear of the trump administration's hard line of cost california a seat in congress. here's why. the 2020 sentence could potentially include question about citizenship. if illegal immigrants fear being deported, they might not participate in the senses and that would lead to huge undercount that would not only cost california billions but also one of its 53 seats in the house of representatives. >> shannon: interesting points. thank you. it's been nearly a year since president trump took office. he's been busy trying to remake the american clinical seen with successes and setbacks. kevin corke looks at the past and the future year of trump in his unique leadership style. >> while the campaign is over,

our work on this movement is now really just beginning. >> from the election night speech to the inaugural address to his first appearance before a joint session of congress. >> believe in your future and believe once more in america. >> president trump's first year in office has been marked by a cacophony of commentary from the pugnacious political pugilist himself to politicians from both sides of the aisle. from an increasingly adversarial press, the purveyors of fake news, according to the presiden president. it's a battle that played out on the road, on air, and online. according to some, right into his hands. >> he has broken the dishes. he's turned over the tables, and i don't know if he could have done it any other way. i don't know if anybody can change donald trump. which is part of his secret to success. >> the president's aggressive temperament has rankled the washington establishment.

his willingness to spar with the press corps, in an op-ed in today's "washington post," arizona senator john mccain wrote "trump continues his unrelenting attacks on the integrity of american journalism and news outlets." providing cover for repressive regimes to follow suit. a sentiment shared by fellow arizona republican jeff flake. experts believe trump's abilities cast himself as an unpredictable and untamable political outsider is both a nod to the popularity with his base and perhaps the clearest example yet of his political naivety. at what cost? can an increasingly isolated president already dealing with the ongoing russia probe, the budget crisis, nuclear brinksmanship with north korea to say nothing of an ongoing war in the middle east find enough common ground among political allies and adversaries to advance the agenda of the american people? or will he like so many before him buckle under the weight of

history? >> shannon: kevin corke from the white house. there is a new push for middle east peace. it could mean a major announcement for vice president mike pence when he visits the region. former u.n. ambassador john bolton is here to preview the trip. members of president trump's inner circle meet with investigators, questions over the role president obama state department may have played in producing the so-called dirty dossier. the "washington examiner"'s byron york joins us

..ron york joins us when i received the diagnosis, i knew at that exact moment, whatever it takes, wherever i have to go...i'm beating this. my main focus was to find a team of doctors that work together. when a patient comes to ctca, they're meeting a team of physicians that specialize in the management of cancer. breast cancer treatment is continuing to evolve. and i would say that ctca is definitely on the cusp of those changes. patients can be overwhelmed ...

we really focus on taking the time with each individual patient so they can choose the treatment appropriate for them. the care that ctca brings is the kind of care i've wanted for my patients. being able to spend time with them, have a whole team to look after them is fantastic. i empower women with choices. it's not just picking a surgeon. it's picking the care team, and feeling secure where you are. surround yourself with the team of breast cancer experts at cancer treatment centers of america. visit cancercenter.com/breast appointments available now. ..

>> shannon: though he reportedly didn't cite executive privilege like steve bannon did, corey lewandowski did recorded reportedly decided to answer some questions behind closed doors today. bannon's refusal to answer some questions wrinkling even republicans. >> keep in mind the president and some of his supporters want congress to hurry up and conclude the investigations. so do i. the best way to do that is to instruct witnesses to answer our questions instead of going through the charade of executive privilege. >> shannon: as the investigation continues, our next guest has made interesting discoveries. byron york is with us live. you have been digging into this dossier and russia investigation

for a long time. you bring up an interesting point about whether the obama state department may have known christopher steele, may have anything to do with any way to do with the dossier. >> all of our talk about the dossier investigation has focused on the department of justice and the fbi. what did they know? did they use it for a fisa warrant? but there's apparently another angle here which is the state department around the same time, we do know that christopher steele, the former british spy who compiled the dossier, we know we had contacts with the fbi because he had taken part in the world soccer investigation in 2014. we also know is that he had a lot of contacts at the state department too. he had written papers, research papers, for some client for a private client but he was giving them on ukraine, the conflict in ukraine. he was giving them to the state department.

there was a book published that said they were read all the way up to the john kerry level which is as high as you can get in the state department. did the state department know anything about this dossier research he was doing as it was going on? >> shannon: we get something interesting survey, the david ignatius piece from "the washington post." he says, it adds something interesting to the timeline. he says the fbi was very interested in talking to steal based on the australian account. australians had said george papadopoulos is talking about possibly the russians have dirt on hillary. the bureau requested another meeting with steele. that took place around october 1st in rome. at the meeting the fbi official asked steele if he had ever heard of papadopoulos. steele didn't. that raises a question about whether the fbi was sharing information with somebody who was preparing a dossier on presidential candidate that was

being funded by the other presidential candidate. even inadvertently. >> is complicated. we should say papadopoulos did not make an appearance in the dossier. he was not there. carter page, another sometime temporary trump aid was in there. the scenario in the ignatius column is that steele writes for first installment of the dossier on june 20, 2016. allegedly meets with the fbi in london on july 4. the fbi according to this telling of the story doesn't pay all that much attention to it until they find out about papadopoulos. they put two and two together and it becomes a big deal for them. the thing you brought up, if christopher steele didn't know anything about george papadopoulos and the fbi tells him, was the fbi even telling the intelligence committees on capitol hill about this stuff? probably not. that's a real question to raise about the investigation.

>> shannon: we understand house intelligence committee tomorrow going to make a decision narrow vote about possibly releasing the full transcript fusion gps founder glenn simpson's testimony before them. a source tells fox today democrats and fusion gps supporters will get some unwelcome surprises if it's published. >> they probably, some of them have talked their way into a corner on this. remember nobody really wanted to release them then glenn simpson himself wrote an op-ed in "the new york times" calling on congress to release them. dianne feinstein and did it unilaterally on the senate judiciary committee. we have read that one. this one is likely to offer us more details. i don't know if there's any big conflict but it seems to me is hard to make an argument now for giving it secret. >> shannon: we will see. maybe it comes as early as the next couple days. always enjoy your reporting. great to have you with us. while the focus at home is on a possible government shutdown, the trump administration is

ramping up efforts to achieve peace in the middle east. the president accuses russia of helping north korea

>> shannon: somewhat overshadowed by the political infighting at home, the trump administration is doubling down

on middle east peace offers. negotiations arriving at israel today looking to revive talks ahead of the vice president's trip to the region. former u.n. ambassador john bolton and fox news contributor is here to review the trip. let's talk about this. do you think anything anything real is going to get done question mike it's only been centuries of fighting. >> there's a lot of speculation that the administration may be able to announce some understanding with saudi arabia and other important arab countries. it's hard to believe there is anything that's going to please the palestinians. they've had a run of bad news here recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel, cutting off funds on >> shannon: relief and works agency in palestine and other rebuffs. it's unclear they are even going to meet with vice president pence. anything in this area would represent some kind of change. maybe the administration wants to take advantage of the trip to

announce it. >> shannon: palestinian president mahmoud abbas saying jerusalem is a gate of peace and war and trump must choose. if they are not at the table for these conversations, what can happen? >> the palestinian authority which has no legitimacy whatsoever, it's become simply a voice for those that don't want to see this process move forward. i think it's almost irrelevant. that is tragic for the palestinian people but that's the position they put themselves in. i would be surprised if there is real progress here. i think the administration sometime this might have to abandon the whole idea of a two-state solution that's been the dominant objective for many years. i don't think he can work. i think it's broken. i think they have to look at something else. they are not the area. maybe this trip will make some change in that. >> shannon: let's talk about north korea. the president pointing fingers saying "russia is not helping us at all with north korea. what china is helping us with russia is denting."

russia is making up for some of what china is doing. >> is a significant statement and reflects the reality on the ground. i'm not sure how much positive china is doing either. china has the real leverage over north korea. it's not exercising it. russia is taking advantage of whatever trend is doing to insert itself into the situation. whatever -- you have the state department holding a meeting of 18, 20 countries in vancouver, canada, that are missing two actors, russia and china. i think that demonstrates why the sanctions, the diplomacy of present run-throughs failed for so many years. we declare sanctions and then they are breached. north korea knows he can get away with it. >> shannon: how do we or other actors who want to see sanctions actually happen and be enforced, how do you convince china and russia to do it? >> and hats to start a long time ago. the immediate problem today is

we are in a race between sanctions taking effect i north korea getting a deliverable nuclear weapons capability. the sanctions approach has been wrong for a long time. i think pinprick sanctions were you name this company and that individual are doomed to failure. if you want to sanction north korea you have sweeping sanctions, no financial transactions. and then you enforce it through secondary sanctions. that's much tougher. because of some harm to american companies. we haven't done it and that's one reason north korea has been able to slide through the cracks. >> shannon: secretary tillerson urging some action on all fronts, saying we should be sober about how bad this is. ambassador, gray to have you with us. by the way, monday we will be live from jerusalem. we are going to bring you an exclusive interview with mike pence, and i'm going to ask him about a possible peace deal. on a personal level, you will hear from the vice president about what the trip to the holy land means for him, for his christian faith, and efforts they are working out to help

fellow christians facing persecution all through the region. most watched, most liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

>> wednesday night donald trump tweeted the his fake news awards naming 11 times media got coverage of his administration wrong. >> this president has changed the way he looked at a number of things. >> and a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words spoken by joseph stalin to describe his enemies. >> i want to thank those who said kind words about me. they were not true but they were nice. ♪
