12:00 am
stories about what happened to their businesses since trump came into office. hearing it from the job creators themselves made a huge difference. i salute each and every one of them for making this country stronger and more economically sound. that's it tonight for us from l.a. it is time to turn it over to shannon bream in washington. i will see you back here tomorrow night. >> shannon: bring one of those trucks. i think we could get around d.c. people might take us more seriously and those trucks. we could really get through the traffic. drive one back. see you tomorrow. here's what we have tonight. we will talk exclusively with attorney general jeff sessions and get his response to white house chief of staff john kelly's statement that the president's thinking on the border wall has evolved. lawmakers shocked after reading a memo detailing government surveillance abuses. releasing the close source antimony of -- testimony of
12:01 am
glenn simpson. senator james lankford joins us live to talk russia, daca and the march for life. as congress scrambles to avoid a government shutdown, we will talk exclusively to senator lindsey graham. details about why he is not voting for short-term budget and an inside look into his roller coaster of a relationship with president donald trump. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night" paradigm shannon bream in washington. new tonight, it's a game of chicken. who blinks first. triple dog dear. happening right now in the senate as republicans and democrats tear down a government shutdown. democrats want republicans to agree to protect hundreds of thousands of illegals from deportation before offering their vote for cobo to a continuing resolution.
12:02 am
dianne feinstein saying shutting down the government is a very serious thing. people die, accidents happen. you don't know their necessary functions can cease. democrats also want a longer-term reauthorization of the children's health insurance program, passed by the house a short while ago. g.o.p. proposal by house minority leader nancy pelosi "this is like giving you a bowl of doggy doo and putting a cherry on top and calling it a chocolate sundae." we will check it out. ed henry following lose on fusion gps on the russian probe. from capitol hill, chad pergram standing by with the latest on the senate voting and let's begin with leland vittert following the brinkmanship between democrats and republicans and where we go now. good evening. >> good evening. we watch the clock ticked down and for all the bluster of the past few days, both sides are blinking and passing the timebomb of a government shutdown like a hot potato. yet saying this whole exercise
12:03 am
is the other's faults. first for you, senate minority leader chuck schumer just a few hours ago on the senate floor. >> we want to move forward. we want to get something done. we don't want to keep kicking the can down the road. we all know what the problem is. it's complete disarray on the republicans 'aside. the bottom line is very simple. our leader, our republican leader, has said that he will not negotiate until he knows where president trump stands. >> his twitter page tells a different story. chuck schumer's online identity completely centers around standing with the dreamers. referring to children bought here illegally with tentative legal status as of now. and the plate forced house speaker borrowing enough to play defense even though after his chamber passed a bill.
12:04 am
he felt compelled -- over a deal on daca. >> we hope senator schumer will abandon this shutdown. >> republicans fear the optics of owning the white house and both chambers of congress yet still presiding over a shutdown. the president today on the road in pennsylvania, offered his explanation of democrats holding a funding bill hostage. >> the democrats want to see it such shutdown. tax reform has not been working well for the democrats. >> while schumer says he wants a deal, even endorsing a procedural vote for the senate to debate our funding bill, he and other democrats, no republicans, need at least nine if not more democrats to vote on a final funding bill. >> the president is sitting on
12:05 am
the sidelines pretending that barack obama is president somehow and criticizing the process by which we create legislation in congress to pass a budget that funds our country. >> both sides have their well rehearsed talking points and will speak passionately about why a shutdown wouldn't be, would be the other side's fault. lost somewhere seems to be the discussion about the real policy points, how to fund rebuilding the military, want to to do wih so-called dreamers, with the presidents border wall would actually look like. shannon, what's clear is that neither side wants to be blamed for a shutdown, would love to blame the other side, but yet as the countdown clock points out, 24:55 until the government runs out of money. neither side is willing to take the political risk of forcing the issue. >> shannon: you are right. we're going to talk more about that. barnett will be right here and we will see what happens.
12:06 am
thank you very much for your report. what is happening right now? senior capitol hill producer chad pergram has the latest including some heated words on the senate floor. you have been tracking this all day. >> people were pretty surprised when the senate got this bill that senators didn't rip the band-aid off or they didn't try to address this right away. what happened was the politics. the politics has been raging through this, and the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, he sort of changed the language just a little bit. we've been hearing about daca and democrats wanted to attach daca to this bill to fund the government. he's calling it something else. listen. >> illegal immigration. that's what they have shoehorned into all of this, shoehorned that issue right into it and said we won't solve any of his other stuff until we do with this. >> that is the interesting thing, that they are talking about illegal immigration, that
12:07 am
pulls well on the republican side of the aisle. democrats want to make this about daca. what we are going to have some time either tomorrow or maybe even as late as 1:00 in the morning saturday is a procedural vote to end debate. this is what's called invoking cloture. needs 60 votes. let me run through the math. right now there are only 50 available republican votes in the senate. john mccain is away. there are three republican nose. we have jeff flake which will be about a half hour ago he's going to be a "no." we have rand paul of kentucky and lindsey graham of south carolina. joe manchin, democrat from west virginia indicates he would vote to end debate. from south dakota, he indicated he will be a "no." he says he will probably be a "yes." you need 60 votes to end debate. even if you are 47 republican yeas, you are still short of 50.
12:08 am
i talked about the procedural vote maybe not happening until 1:00 in the morning saturday. the government is supposed to be funded tomorrow night. if they do this by the book, it won't, they won't take that a vote until about 1:00 in the morning on saturday after the government runs out of money. >> shannon: i understand there were some emotional folks tonight. >> the outcome the senate minority whip dick durbin referenced there were daca recipients sitting the public gallery. about ten of them in the front row, all holding hands, listening to these emotional speeches in the gallery. they were two girls sitting in a row behind them with their arms around one another. one of them was kind of sobbing. she had her winter scarf held up against her nose and the other one was trying to console her. that shows you how emotional this issue is and how at least democrats are trying to respond to the daca recipients. trying to change the status as of march 5. that's why the democrats say
12:09 am
there is time to work it out. >> shannon: chad pergram, you will be with us i'm sure tomorrow night. thank you. from the countdown to the shutdown to the showdown over the dossier. fireworks in the house intelligence committee tonight over transcripts from fusion gps cofounder glenn simpson's testimony last november. there is also a four-page memo that some house members have seen allegedly showing alarming disturbing government abuse of the fisa surveillance program. saying he can't believe it was something that would happen. ed henry's here and what he is found. >> major development. tina republicans are privately saying that some heads are going to roll if the fbi and justice department. big names could be other jobs facing major investigations if that memo that lawmakers are calling shocking actually goes public. pressure is building, trending on social media is the hashtag #releasethememo. it has picked up steam after the house intelligence committee moved to share the memo to
12:10 am
members of congress beyond the intel panel and then the committee is talking about may be going fully public so everybody in our audience can see exactly what is in there. the committee also voted unanimously to release all 165 pages of glenn simpson's testimony from last november in which he revealed that in order to dig up dirt on candidate donald trump, fusion gps was being paid 50,000 bucks a month plus expenses. some of that money was coming in from the clinton camp and the democratic national committee. simpson denies he gave the dossier to buzzfeed saying he got very upset when they publish it because it was very dangerous to put this raw information out. then he goes on to charge in his testimony that russian president vladimir putin went on a witch a witch hunt a tract on u.s. intelligence sources. simpson claims people were actually killed testifying "i mean, there was a series of episodes where people were arrested or died mysteriously after the disclosure of the existence of the information. i do believe there was a bit of an old-fashioned purge." simpson admitted he was involved
12:11 am
in leaking other sensitive info, including the fact that fbi director james comey was investigating alleged crime campaign connections to russia. all because simpson was angry that james comey had announced he was reopening the clinton email probe shortly before the election. system if james comey wasn't goo tell people about this investigation, he had violated the rules and would only be fair if the world knew that both candidates, not just clinton, were under fbi investigation." also worth noting that when pressed, simpson hedged on the accuracy of the information. that's important because house intelligence chairman devin nunes try to give question of whether obama or officials used unverified information from the dossier to get approval for surveillance of trumbull officials. as fox first reported last week, nunes privately told colleagues there was fisa abuse by fbi and justice officials. simpson testified that top obama
12:12 am
justice department holdover bruce ohr asked him to turn over some fusion gps info from the dossier to the justice department. the question republicans have, wasn't used for surveillance? >> this memo must become public. it alarms us greatly and i believe as a consequence of its release, will be major changes in people currently working at the fbi and department of justice. >> the intel committee's top democrat adam schiff pushback that that memo is "rife with factual inaccuracies and referencing highly classified materials." meant only to give republican house members that distorted view of the fbi. this may help carry white house water but it's a deep disservice to our law enforcement professionals. schiff added that republicans are trying to distract from the fact that steve bannon and corey lewandowski declined to answer some questions behind closed doors. planned testimony tomorrow from hope hicks has been postponed. >> shannon: ed henry, thank you very much.
12:13 am
a whole lot to talk about with oklahoma republican senator james lankford who serves on the senate intelligence committee. great to have you with us. you just barely made it over here from the hill. let's talk about what's going on now. little over 24 hours from a potential shutdown. doesn't sound like the votes are there to get a temporary funding order going. i'm hearing from the democrat side, maybe something in the order of four or five days, according to one g.o.p. source, five or six days. what happened? >> it's very bizarre. chuck schumer knows all the issues on pulling a budget together. you can't do it in four or five days. it's a complicated, large document. he stood on the florence it would need to do in national defense. we tried to bring the defense bill of months ago and they blocked it, blocked it and said no, we want to use it for negotiations. it's a strange orwellian doublespeak going on. the process does take a while. when you get a budget agreement, it takes two weeks to finalize the bill. to do it in a four day continuing resolution or five
12:14 am
days to negotiate means another five day and another five day. we put our name one month fees to say let's finish the negotiations, get time to write the bill and get it done come and not try to do this continual shutdown clips. >> shannon: sounds like that's where we are headed. >> it does. one of these moments where it's very odd to be able to walk through. this is about, as the leader mentioned comments about illegal immigration, it's about daca and trying to get to this negotiation. i've been a part of that group tried to be able to negotiate this. thom tillis and i were in the group doing the negotiations with dick durbin until we were kicked out of that group because we wanted to deal with border security. they only wanted to deal with daca and we said no, we need order security and daca at the same time. they basically said you are not invited anymore. we only want to deal with daca in this group. that's been a frustrating thing all along, since october. the white house put out the parameters of the deal. chuck schumer on the floor today say we have no idea what the
12:15 am
president wants. the president pointed out in october and they may not like what he out that he put it out in october. we've been trying to get negotiations for months and they've been stalling. it's been very frustrating. >> shannon: these tides are widely divergent on this. whether we're talking about a pathway to citizenship for the daca folks, ending chain migration ramping up in some way. a little bit of money for the border wall or $30 billion for the border wall. they are all over the place. how do you get, ground and something that can get enough votes even to get to the procedural hurdle to get to a vote in the senate? that seems nearly impossible right now. >> they are trying to state let's take the daca issue, poke it into a funding bill and their request is let's legalize 3 million people and a short term funding bill and just call it done. and it's very odd, why would you ever do that? immigration bill needs to be stand-alone bill, debate it, walk through the process prove already set this goal. that's what the president said ten days ago. for items, let's finalize it.
12:16 am
once we get everyone to the table, we should. the leaders are meeting every day on this. our staff was in meetings earlier today. i was in meetings earlier today on it. we have been working through this and to suddenly say we are going to shut the government down if we don't get our proposal on it we don't get it right now, it seems really strange. >> shannon: want to ask you before we are out of time about an issue we are working on, executive nominations. the fact that it's very long process right now. a lot of success in the minority party and it works for the republicans in blocking these but there are so many positions unfilled within the administration. it's a helpful tool for the opposition is that we are not going to follow through on any of these nominations. i know you're trying to work to change it. you have any bipartisan agreement? >> i hope so. we had a moment like this in 2013 in the senate. i wasn't there at the time but harry reid came to mcconnell and said let's make a deal on how we are going to do nominations because we are stuck. we can't get anything moving. there were about 20 nominations blocked.
12:17 am
there was a bipartisan agreement made. here's how many hours we will have a debate so we can move it. that was said when harry reid was in leadership, 2013. i brought that deal back and said now it's not 20. you have blocked 60 so far this last year. it's over and above, far above what anything republicans did when democrats were in. let's take the same deal democrats asked for the republicans give them in 2013. the democrats are saying no, that was good for us but it's not good for you. we won't agree to the exact same language. i'm going to try to bring into the floor and say let's resolve it. there's a right way to do it let's do it. >> shannon: so many unfilled positions in key areas that would matter to the president and his goals. >> enter the country quite frankly. these are key people in these agency. >> shannon: keep us updated. you're going to stick around and come back so we'll see you later. we're going down more breaking news coverage of the shutdown showdown on capitol hill. debate raging late into the night tonight. we are tracking every development.
12:18 am
senator lindsey graham has gone back and forth with the white house and democrats trying to find a deal on daca. he will be here in a a "fox news @ night" exclusive. as the crackdown on sanctuary cities continues and the debate over daca take center stage, we will talk with attorney general 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
12:19 am
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.
12:20 am
12:21 am
12:22 am
>> he has change the way he's looked at a number of things. he's adjusted the ways look at the south aid asia strategy come afghanistan. definitely changed his attitude towards the daca issue and even the wall. he has evolved in the way he's looked at things. >> shannon: white house chief of staff john kelly on "special report" last night. the president disputing that his views have changed especially when it comes to building the border wall. he debate over immigration reaching a boiling point tonight, senate democrats about to hold the line on daca, hoping to force republicans to deal or face a government shutdown. u.s. attorney general jeff sessions joins us with the latest on immigration, the president, and much more. stir attorney general, great to have you with this. you are one of the first people, for senators out on the trail with the president. immigration was something you talked about quite a bit.
12:23 am
you seemed in lockstep on many of these issues. do you agree with the assessment he has evolved as he's gotten more information or more of the realities about washington about what you can or cannot get done. >> we all change and we learn something as we go forward but his principles on immigration have not changed. he favored the wall. he has fought for it all the way through the campaign and in congress. and he never said he was going to go from -- it was going to go from coast to coast. i think he's been quite consistent. what he is committed to do is end the illegality in the system and create a system of immigration that serves the national interests. put american interests first. >> shannon: today the president had nice things to say about general kelly but we are told behind the scenes there was some friction about the president being unhappy about the way that may be the words that were used to describe how he dealt with these issues. you have had a little bit of the
12:24 am
doghouse from the president before. what's it like to be there to prominent position in the administration and to feel like maybe i have things to smooth over with the president. >> the president says what he thinks. if he's unhappy with you, he lets people know he's unhappy with you. by general kelly is a national treasure. what he's doing to help president trump is really remarkable. he has provided leadership that's, to me, i'm not sure anybody else could have done as well as he. and i totally admin support of general kelly and a great personal admirer. he's got great integrity. he does not believe in scheisters coming in and manipulating the administration. he spots them right off the bat. he's a great american. >> shannon: lets a talk about the immigration proposals periods from senators graham and senator durbin was not well received. he was not happy.
12:25 am
so different from the house version coming from chairman goodlatte and others. how do you see the two sides, the parties and the houses, coming together to get something done. >> the bill that works is the goodlatte proposal. it may not be perfect but it will actually work and do the things president trump has talked about doing. unfortunately the durbin bill, it's just not going to work. it's that same thing we've seen before. the senate is prepared to vote for bills as long as they don't work. you produce a bill that would actually effectively end illegality. that's all we are talking about. who is in of illegal immigrants immigration? anybody? why keep defending it? why keep blocking the laws? create a system that has no illegality that brings in people legally and that we vet them and make sure they are not criminals, that they are people
12:26 am
who are going to be -- they are not people who are going to be unable to function in this highly technical society. it's the right thing to do morally, legally, and as a matter of public policy. >> shannon: you ask whether there are people for illegal immigration. let's talk about sanctuary cities or sanctuary states where they say they will not cooperate with the federal government, federal agencies and rooting out people who may be here illegally, the mayor of oakland saying she is happy to go to jail over it. discussion on the hill this week about with dhs secretary nielset whether the administration would consider going after leaders protecting people here illegally and refusing to cooperate with the feds. >> it is unthinkable to me that somebody breaks into our countr country, halls cocaine to oakland and is arrested three days later and the city of oakland is going to try to protect that person from being deported? what kind of logic is this?
12:27 am
it is so unacceptable. it's an affirmation of illegality. it's an actual protection of illegality. i am not saying what is legal and not legal. i'm saying is a matter of policy it's unthinkable to me that we would have public officials take that view. >> shannon: she's not alone. there are many vowing to do the same thing. in california there is several reports about potential i.c.e. raids there gathering up to 1500 people who are either set for deportation. they have final orders, they've committed a crime, those kinds of things. california lawmakers saying, the two senators offering a letter to her. "we firmly believe law enforcement must prioritize dangerous criminals, not undocumented immigrants who do not pose a threat to public safety. diverting resources in an effort to punish california and for political points is an abuse of power, not to mention a misuse of scarce resources." >> it's not an attack on
12:28 am
california. people who enter their country unlawfully are subject to being deported. a country unwilling to deport unlawful entrants is a country that's not serious about enforcing its border. that's what this election was about. and i think that we are in a position to make tremendous progress. we are in a position to dramatically reduce the illegality. we are receiving large numbers of the criminal element in this illegal flow. we can make america safer. we can make america more prosperous, and we can help bring people to the country who flourish here and do well here. it is common sense to me. >> shannon: what do you make of comments by dhs secretary nielsen saying essentially folks from daca, even if they are granted to be here, they have permission to be here for now, as long as they are not committing a crime, they are not going to be an i.c.e. priority for deportation. is that something you agree
12:29 am
with? >> i.c.e. has to set priorities. certainly we all agree that people who come here illegally and then commit a crime while they are here should be the top priority. there are other priorities you can set within that. that's the department of homeland security has a limited number of resources and they certainly should set priorities but nobody in the government can declare somebody legally here in my opinion who congress has said is illegally here. >> shannon: quickly, i've got to ask, how is this job different and maybe you thought it would be or is it what you expected? >> it is a bottomless pit. i tell my senator friends. this is a real job. i have to work seven days a week, 12 hour days. but it is so much fun and i think we are making some real progress. we've got some great people in the department, some great agents throughout the country, and it's an honor to be able to lead them. >> shannon: mr. attorney general, great to
12:30 am
have you with us on "fox news @ night" ." stick around for stirewalt. standing by to break down what we've heard from the attorney general and senator lankford. who blinks first in a shutdown show down over immigration. senator lindsey graham has been a key conduit between the president and his critics on capitol hill. senator graham was in the room when something president trump said set off immigration firestorm. senator graham will be here in the studio with us just ahead. (whispering) with the capital one venture card, you'll earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, every day. not just airline purchases. think about all the double miles you could be earning. (yelling) holy moly, that's a lot of miles! shh-h-h-h! ( ♪ ) shh! what's in your wallet? man: shh-h-h!
12:31 am
12:32 am
12:33 am
12:34 am
we went attorney general jeff sessions telling us the president's views on immigration have not changed. let's break it down with chris stirewalt. to analyze what we have just heard. let's play a little bit of what the attorney general said about the president.
12:35 am
>> he favored the wall. he has fought for it all the way through the campaign and in congress and he never said he was it was going to go from coast-to-coast. he never said every inch of the border needed a wall. i think he's been quite consistent. >> shannon: the president said "i have been consistent." >> well, no, but... >> shannon: that's what he said. >> i know he said that. >> the question is how much is the president going to penalize kelly for saying a true thing. john kelly set a true thing. it would've been laughable if he said something else. this guy is the chief negotiator. this is the person on whom the prospect on government shutdown, it all rests on john kelly. he's the guy republicans and democrats look to hear he's a go-between. you've got to trust this guy. he said yeah of drum, he didn't understand everything as it existed in the world when he
12:36 am
started running for president. of course. what is happened has democrats and the chaos folks in the white house who don't like kelly and don't like the iron grip kelly has placed on them, they are saying this is disloyalty. he is wrong to say that the president's views have evolved. wrong to say the president was ill-informed and you her jeff sessions sit here and say please spare this man. let kelly off the hook, mr. president. >> shannon: he did have nice things to say, the president. the attorney general said the president speaks his mind. you know it nissan happy. he called general kelly a national treasure. >> you could sense sessions did not want kelly to meet the same fate he did when the president put them in the barrel and made him the goat for his recusal. >> shannon: a lot of folks may end up in the doghouse tomorrow
12:37 am
night at this time because it doesn't look like they have the votes were shut down. what you think? >> right now this is a truth of this experience. the minority party -- let's have a three day extension, to date extension. schumer and the democrats want as many negotiations as possible because the shorter term, the more leverage they have two get what they want which is amnesty for the people, the young adults brought to the united states as minors illegally. they want to have his money negotiating sessions as possible in hopes that they will get the republicans to break down and say fund the government and move on. it looks like what we are heading into is going to be life support. five days, three days, and they will try to make it through. that definitely works to the democrats advantage. >> shannon: will be watching. tomorrow night it's going to go down to and we know you will be watching. >> definitely. >> shannon: thank you, chris stirewalt. he's been in the room for all
12:38 am

12:40 am
12:41 am
.. >> shannon: when asked for short-term funding bill will pass in the senate, house republican say we did our job. that's where we are now. facing recalcitrant republicans and democrats who want to daca deal or they have other reasons
12:42 am
for voting no. g.o.p. senator lindsey graham got together with democrat dick durbin to try to find a bipartisan fix. here is how the white house sought the plan. one-tenth of the funding we actually need to secure the wal. and the other part is when you look at the senate proposal, it 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? it makes no sense. >> shannon: makes no sense. senator graham is here to respond as we await a senate vote on many important things. she said your plan that you came to the president with doesn't ..now what she's talking about. she's a nice lady. clearly she hasn't looked at it. it is $2.7 billion for border funding. the president's request, we gave him every penny. we begin to break chain
12:43 am
migration by limiting green card holders to nuclear families. >> shannon: you don't get rid of it. >> no, that is around two. what we are not going to do is get all we want in round one and they give us daca. if you don't want to do comprehensive which i agree with you after break it into parts. the president deserves border funding and i promise you he will get it. he may be can get some more. at the end of the day, 800,000 daca kids. they are not kids, but young adults, run out of legal status. we are going to take care of them. we're going to begin to secure our border, break chain migration, end the diversity last -- diversity lottery. to the white house, tell me what your plan is? tell me how much money you want for border security and i will tell you whether or not it's possible. the one thing i do know: we are not going to give 11 million people legal status and hope the democrats will work with us on the border and they are not going to give us all we want on
12:44 am
the border and and one day hope will deal with the 11 million. the daca population is 10% of the legal immigrant population. >> shannon: you and the president, not best friends during the campaign. really nasty words for each other. then you became best friends and you're playing golf together and praising him for what you think he's getting right on foreign policy. then you bring in the deal. here's what he says. "it was horrible on border security. very, very weak on reforms for the illegal immigration system." he says "it's the opposite of what i campaign for." is he going to give out your cell phone number again? >> we're going to be fine. i listened to what he said tuesday. i'm a very good listener. >> shannon: i know that about you. >> i listened to everything the president said on tuesday he said i wanted to until that strong on security with love. i want a bipartisan bill.
12:45 am
send me one. this proposal is a start. i am very proud of it. i've been doing immigration reform for ten years. under my proposal, daca kids could get citizenship in five years. under this proposal, they have to wait 12 years. >> shannon: for some people, you say citizenship at all and they here amnesty and say wiry going to create a situation where 10, 20 years from now we are doing this again. >> these kids came here at the average age of 6 years old. they have no place to go. i want them to be citizens. i want them to get a good education, i want them to understand what america is. they've got to wait 12 years. if you don't want the children to be part of america, that i couldn't disagree with you more. i want them to stay on our terms. these will be the trump dreamers. the president has a chance to have a legacy that obama and bush could never embrace. it would be wonderful if donald trump could take these young people who have no other country other than america on give them a chance to be part of us.

he will be responsible for a lot of good things. there will be a few bad but he can also secure the border. i'm not asking the president to legalize 800,000 people without getting something. he's going to get money for the border. around two is when we get this other stuff. >> shannon: 24 hours from now, we will be covering it, a potential government shutdown on "fox news @ night" ." you have told us you are voting no. >> i'm not going to vote for a 30 day continuing resolution. the house said they did their job. how much money did the defense department get? this is the fourth cr. every time we have one, it costs the military billions. it's not going to shutdown and we are not going to wait 30 more days. these young daca recipients, their life is turned upside down march 5. some people say that's not that long. i mean that's a long time away. not if you are one of them. you know it drives my train, the military is suffering greatly.
12:47 am
the president wants $130 billion of additional funding. we can get that only if we deal with daca. i want to do two things. i want upon the military and deal with daca and we're not going to get one without the other. i'm tired of playing this stupid game. the public hates the way we do business. count me in. this chaos is going to end. i'm willing to keep the government open days, not weeks, to get a deal that we should've got a year ago. >> shannon: we are going to check in with you tomorrow night and we will see what happens. all right, senator graham, always good to see you. thanks for coming in. 45 years after roe vs. wade, legalize abortion across america, pro-life advocates are getting ready to march for life. senator lankford returns along with dr. russell moore and religious liberty advocate kristen waggoner to talk about that and a new government religious freedom agency to shield the faithful. the left does not like it. stick

>> shannon: tomorrow president trump planning to become the first president to stream in life for the march for life. where does the pro-life movement go? james lankford and russell moore and kristen waggoner.
12:52 am
thank you for your time. senator, we are having the march tomorrow but this is ahead of monday, big vote on this bill, a 20-week ban. doctors use anastasia to operate on those cases. the left says this is not based on science. it's based on religious bigotry that you shouldn't be getting involved. >> you know what is art is 191 countries around the world have resolved this. the united states is 1 of 7 countries in the world that still allows elective late-term abortions. canada, singapore, the netherlands have 24 weeks. we are with vietnam, north korea and china allowing late-term elective abortions. the rest of the world has said late-term abortion should not be
12:53 am
allowed. these are viable children that if delivered, even delivered early, they would survive on their own and we see it every day in america. these children surviving. yet we still allow the late-term abortions. the vast majority of americans, even americans that identify as pro-choice, don't support late-term abortions. >> shannon: many support some kind of restrictions of some measure. there's a new poll out today asking people whether they identify as pro-life or pro-choice. 51% say pro-choice. >> one of the things that is startling, if you had gone back in a time machine to 1973 and said what with the pro-life movement look like in 2010, most people would've said there will be no pro-life movement. the country will have moved on. yet the march for life see masses of people gathering here including very young people coming across the country at their own expense to stand up for life.

that's really remarkable. not to mention all the things going on around the country to administer to vulnerable women and care for unborn children and unborn children. i am encouraged. >> shannon: the administration rolled out something at a lot of folks in the pro-life movement feel like this administration has been a very good friend to them. on the left there's a new report out identifying antichoice groups and saying this president is their worst nightmare because he's delivering on a lot of those campaign promises and they say it's taking woman backwards. taking us back to a different time. and they add this: the fact that the administration has said under hhs, the civil rights portion, they are going to have a protection and religious freedom protection group that's going to enforce the law when it comes to folks, for instance a nurse who says i don't want to take part in an abortion but i don't want to lose my job. >> in this poll, 76% of americans support limitations on abortion. when we look at what hhs is
12:55 am
doing, this office of civil rights announced today, we can see their simply going to enforce existing law. they are not crating new law and saying no american should be forced to lose their job because of their convictions, and abortion shouldn't be a litmus test to be able to participate in the marketplace. it's a reasonable approach. it's just enforcing existing law which the obama administration did not do. >> shannon: i want to ask you, do you feel like the march gets a fair coverage? >> is a very large group. it's most often ignored by the national media. >> shannon: do you think that's different tomorrow? >> i hope it will be different. if most people can see the energy taking place on the mall, it would be astounding. >> shannon: we are going to be covering it like we always do and we will be out and about and hear from folks on both sides of the issue but we certainly will cover something that is such a big impact on d.c. every year. thank you for coming in. that's it from washington. i'm shannon bream. we want to let you know this
