3:02 am
praise. pete: almost universal. griff: as well as i cover politics every day that is the plan the white house has put forward on immigration. pete: have you the text messages you are right we are going over immigration as well. so much we can barely keep track of it all. griff: we are going to talk about it. it is certainly one that is unfolding at inspector general at the department of justice has brought forward much the immigration battle is what i think people care about. if you are a dreamer. if you are one of the 800,000 people in this country brought here as a child, you were brought here at age 16 or younger, and you have become what they consider themselves to be americans, there's a plan for them. they have skin in the game. we are talking about legislation that matters. and we have a situation where one party seems to be most interested in obstructing. rachel: let's talk about what the plan is. pete: released on thursday. rachel: released on thursday. this is the plan 25 billion for border security it eliminates the visa lottery

system. it curbs chain migration and it offers a path to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers. that's more than twice the amount is that democrats were originally calling for. pete: daca recipients want to be legally recognized. this is the defining issue for us. immigration, legality rule of law. republicans have always been about tax cuts and repeal and replace obamacare. trump was about illegal immigration and getting our hands around it. this is the opening bid. there has been a lot of discussion about, this rachel. you know this discussion very, very well. rachel: pete and i don't agree on this issue. pete: we don't have to agree on everything. the question is was this a brilliant opening move to put democrats in the corner. a lot of people feel that way or an opening bid where you start with 1.8 million and citizenship as opposed to legalization. but what's universal is democrats are reacting to
3:04 am
this foolishly or predictably very negatively even though they got a lot out of this opening bid. rachel: this bid was so sweet. it makes them look ridiculous to turn it down. because, look, we know for the last, you know, however many years we have been trying to wrap our hands around immigration reform. griff: right. rachel: the sticking point has always been border security that the american people -- this is why president trump got elected. they said look, we are okay with the people that are here, especially the dreamers, they seem to be the most innocent victims of our broken immigration system. we're okay keeping them here. we want to make sure this doesn't happen again. so what president trump has put in place in his plan is, look, i will give even more than 800,000. griff: double. rachel: i will double that but you have got to go with -- i think this is brilliant. pete: should love this. griff: you guys have a lot to say. now, remember, democrats by most people's fair account, democrats lost on the government shutdown.
3:05 am
pelosi and schumer failed. here is what pelosi said now that a plan is on the table. >> the president put forth a plan. that plan is a campaign to make america white again. they are changing the character of our country. but by what they are bringing forth. they bring a tear to the eye of the statue of liberty. and they bring fear to the heart of people who are here playing by the rules. pete: breaking news, the statue of liberty not crying this morning. [laughter] apparently it's all about race and racism for them. they are going to play that card. a big sweetener from this president yet. it's not just nancy pelosi. it's left wing groups. a couple of headlines from the left wing groupings hot president tried to put an olive branch to. the aclu says the white house released a hateful, zeenel phobic immigration proposal. united dream says let's call this proposal for what it is, a white supremacist

ransom note. huffington post it's more than a racist ransom note from a group of nativists who are willing to dangle 800,000 young teenagers and adults over a cliff while simultaneously replacing core americans values with poison. is the wall going to be built? end of chain migration. end of visa lottery precursor to legalization or citizenship for those in daca. how do you make sure it stays at 1.8 as opposed to a number that could grow larger. rachel: i don't think the number is going to grow larger. i think that president trump has made it very clear. i need these four things. the wall, end of chain migration, more money for border security for the border patrol, and an end to the visa lottery system. that's the deal. he has put it out there and made it super generous. i want to talk to the dreamers that are out there potentially watching, if you know a dreamer. the democrats don't care about you. this is the most generous deal that could are be made
3:07 am
and they are saying no because they want to toy with your life. they want to run on daca. they don't want to solve daca. they don't want to give you citizenship. they want to use you as a political pawn. pete: what do you say to the non-dreamers. rachel: you are going to get american. griff: if you are a democrat, you want to win. donald trump steam rolled you in election a year ago. he has passed tax reform. you want to win if you are a democrat and i would think when this plan was put on the table, a lot of democrat voters said looks pretty good. rachel: that crazy reaction. griff: instead the message is this is a racist ransom note so clearly the plan is obstruct at every turn no matter what they give us, even if they give us twice what we asked for. rachel: griff, the crazy reaction from nancy pelosi to call a deal that brings in, you know, almost 2 million black and brown people racist and gives them citizenship shows how
3:08 am
desperate they are. they have nothing to run on. they are desperate. pete: i think it's skeptical as some conservatives may be there has been some resistance to this. give it some time and see how it develops. the president is a deal maker. rachel: art of the deal. pete: one of the topics the left doesn't want to be talking about. they are happy to talk about russia investigations and different topics. not the big boon in our economy. president trump was in davos in switzerland over the last couple of days esm took it by storm. so while he is there, the dow hit yet another record. i don't know how many records it's set at this point. and fedex up 200 points yesterday now at 26.6 in the stock market. and fedex also announcing wage increases and bonuses amid tax reform. i have lost track of how many records we have set with the dow and how many companies now are giving away these unexpected bonuses. nancy pelosi calls them bread crumbs. there is the screen. you can't even read all the
3:09 am
logos. rachel: that's not all. i live in a little town. they are not counting the bonuses being given by small businesses in little towns all across america. my husband just spoke to a small business owner. i said i just under our contribution to everyone's 401(k). guaranteed that's not being counted right now it is reverbiating across the economy. we have someone on later on another business owner who is giving bonuses who is saying, hey, this isn't crumbs to my employees. griff: not only are they calling it crumbs, they are in some cases they are actually suing against it. they are suing against financial profit. pete: they passed this tax reform bill which has the state and local tax deduction was a big parity of it. states with high taxes didn't love every aspects of it. those high tax states like newark new york, new jersey, and connecticut are suing. andrew cuomo in new york. phil murphy in new jersey and dannel malloy in connecticut all are going to sue president trump over the tax plan saying wah our tax
3:10 am
soles high it's going to hurt us instead of taking accountability and saying mane we could make our states competitive? rachel: exactly. they should focus on lowering taxes. this what is this really is democrats saying big government and redistribution didn't work, tax reform and deregulating did, i'm going to sue you. they are mad that this is working. that's what this is about. it's not about this. they are mad that they don't have anything to say about what's happening and they don't own it because they didn't vote for it. griff: the message this sends to businesses, ceos who are located in new york, new jersey, and connecticut. what does it say to them if they are trying to run their company? pete: we have so much to get to at the top. we didn't get to the fisa memo, release the memo looks like this week there get released. we have big guests on the show. pete: dan bongino. rachel: we have lots more to say on that. right now we have to get to your headlines. a fox news alert. 40 people dead and 140

3:16 am
the wall won't work. will it work? >> they are absolutely incorrect. all you have to do is look at history. where we built physical barriers it's dropped the number of illegal entries exponentially. they are slol wrong. griff: brandon, i spent time with you just a week ago down near el paso in the big bin sector. talking about this wall. it looks like this deal is a wall next change for daca. right? and apparently the white house, the democrats said they wanted 800,000 dreamers covered. the white house has given them double. are you okay with the daca part of this? >> what you're seeing is you are seeing the brilliance of a businessman that we elected into the office of president, which is exactly what we expected to see and exactly what we were hoping to see. when you look at securing the border, we are talking about illegal immigration. not legal immigration. there is nothing racist about securing our borders. when the democrats don't have substance on their side, they scream things
3:17 am
like racist. they attack his personal friends like keith schiller when they absolutely have no substance and so when you look at this, they have nothing to stand on, which is why they are losing. rachel: so the president wants to give 20 million to the wall and then 5 million for border patrol agents. i'm sorry, a billion. 20 billion for the wall. 5 billion for border patrol agents and also for immigration. judd, do you think that's a good break down or do you think we should have more for the border? >> when griff was on the border he saw how porous it was. we have to have the physical barriers which is going to be expensive. we know that we also have to end the loophole of catch and release. wwe can't do that unless we have the number of judges. remove the magnet drawing the people across the border
3:18 am
illegally. am else in city of 1986 legalized millions of people without putting the border security measures in place. this is going to put the border security measures in place. we're going to be able to secure our borders. and, again, we can end this debate once and for all which is what the democratsment. griff: that's a good point. we have to leave it there. we are going to be talking about what was done in 1986. you everywhere a border patrol agent and still are 20 years on the job you say this is a good deal and going to to do something especially when it comes to end chain migration. brandon judd thank you very much for joining us. rachel: thank you for joining us. >> thank you. griff: still ahead president trump getting a reception from world leaders after saying. this america first does not mean america alone. griff: why is the media so perplexed over the positive reaction to that message? our panel here to discuss it next. rachel: plus maxine waters

3:24 am
congratulations and chuck rocha. thank you for being here. i appreciate it buck, the big take away, the left can't seem to wrap their arms around this president especially when he goes overseas. what is the take away message from his trip to davos. >> davos is the oscars for globalists. this is the single biggest congregation you are going to find of the fanciest of the fancy foreign policy elites. so the media had set this up like this is where trump will be completely out of his element. he is going to be a fish out of water. turns out he is there with basically rock star status. gives an incredibly effective speech. even a lot of his detract torres here at home are saying hold on a second. that actually sounded pretty good. made a lot of sense. is he like the salesman for american greatness on the world stage and people are buying it i think that really shocked a lot of those who are expecting something else out there. pete: people were expecting a walkout because of previous comments. there would be huge distance. instead there was this rock star role even the "new york
3:25 am
times" had to acknowledge it was successful. how does he make this kind of a turn about? >> he made a really key point in his speech that we should put america first and so should the other nations and their leaders. but he made a point that growth in the united states means a growth in innovation. it means a growth in jobs and what is good for america is good for the world and how would you argue against that? pete: absolutely. chuck, how would you argue against that? a few praise for his approach across the spectrum. as a democrat, how are you looking at this trip and why wouldn't it be deemed a success? >> i look back at the presidential election why he got elected there was a lo lot of frustration out there. we saw it all across the nation. is he at his best when he is talking about america first and bringing jobs back. there is so much that i find political consultant anxiety out there. if somebody could take his twitter account away from him i would be more worried about 2018. when he on that stage and talking about putting america first and talking about energy jobs is he talking about middle class americans that are looking for answers. pete: is that a message
3:26 am
democrats are. >> it was our message. my factory in east texas shut down and moved to china. my father worked there 1500 men, right? that's the reason i joined the party and i want to see that party return to that message. pete: to that point he talked about trade, he didn't just talk about free trade. a lot of conservatives are is he a free trader or not he talked about free trade. that seems to make sense to people in middle america. make trade deal but make sure they are advantageous to america now. >> there is a sense now than ever before that the trump administration is just to show results and instead of just debating the possible merits of plans that would involve trade deals. pete: white papers from think tanks? >> right, exactly. there is only so much you can hear from the folks in d.c. and k street the economy is doing great. have you over 2348 jobs just the first year alone in the trump administration. on trade, there is a whole bunch of reasons, including getting leverage with china that we need to actually switch things up a bit. what's been in the past is not necessarily what needs to be in the future.
3:27 am
pete: andrew, you know, conservatives often laud the reagan administration. how would you compare what president trump has done? >> shocking. the heritage foundation rated trump's first year more successful than reagan's. if you would had have said that, there would have been fainting, you tonight question the reagan legacy. donald trump has basically told the world, especially with the palestinians and foreign aid if you don't sit down and talk peace the money is coming to an end. we are putting america first. he has saying to the world what conservatives have been wanting out of a conservative president for a generation. pete: chuck, how do democrats attempt to recapture that narrative that you have talked about considering president trump has been very effective until family sizing america first and emphasizing results as well? >> you know, i had this problem under barack obama. we doubled the stock market, created 11 million new jobs but the democrats lost 61 seats in the house while we were doing that, right? donald trump is in a position, he could do something differential. democrats need to take that message back and talk about trade. talk about it in our terms.
3:28 am
republican were the majority. pete: how do you take it back though when it's working based on what is he doing. >> republicans in congress little known fact majority of people for free trade tore years. we let them come out and have the talking points we are scared of our base and other parts of our party we need to man up and say look, this is our message. we need to return jobs back here and this is how we do it. >> he just misgenderred. he said man up. pete: be careful with the verbiage. >> i'm from east texas. pete: chuck, andrew, buck, thank you for your time. appreciate it that explosive memo on alleged fisa surveillance abuse could be made public any day now. dan bongino says it needs to happen now and he joins us next. plus, she called the president a white supremacist. now espn's host jamil hill is leaving sportscenter. her new big could let her be even more political. we'll explain. ♪ one more time ♪ take it to the limit

a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home, with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache.

to do it, it doesn't stop them from making the most scandalous accusations against these professionals at the fbi. pete: that is ranking member adam schiff of the intelligence committee on the house. the democrats will be releasing their own memo about what they think they know. republicans, of course, the release the memo movement around the fisa surveillance looks like this week it may actually be. pete: we don't know that it may be mid to late week. according to sources in washington. because i covered this all week long. what we need to do is ask someone who has an opinion about it. that is dan bongino, former secret service agent. and someone that needs no introduction here. dan, what do you think about releasing that memo? >> you know, that memo is going to frighten americans. i was listening to that schiff clip by the way. this guy is the slimest of the slimy in the swamp. how disgusting. guys, let's be clear about what happened here. i know this is a complicated case. the obama administration used police state powers to
3:34 am
spy on donald trump. that's not in dispute. what's in dispute is how it happened. and how it happened is what's going to be likely detailed in this memo. and should scare everyone. one other point is what scares me is the police state having been a federal agent myself and knowing the power of the federal government, what scares me more is that the hacks in the liberal media and liberals up in congress aren't scared of the police state like i am anymore. very disturbing. rachel: right. it's weird. adam schiff is basically saying i don't want to use my powers of oversight as a congressman, which they have the power. that's the power we give them as people. they don't want to use it and the media is gone with this story line hook, line and sinker saying basically if you question the tactics of the fbi or the doj in this investigation, somehow you're unamerican. >> rachel, schiff has lied about this memo multiple times now. he is deliberating
3:35 am
manipulating the american public to get them to believe what happened didn't happen. facts aren't partisan. either the obama administration applied for warrants to spy on the trump team or they didn't. that doesn't matter if you are a republican or democrat. he has already tried a few narrative, schiff by the way, russian bots were promoting this on twitter that was proved to be false. then he moved onto the narrative this is going to be interference by trump if he releases. this this is nonsense. trump has constitutional rights, too. you may not like his politics but is he a citizen of the united states. the government was unleashed on him during the obama years. make no mistake. griff: dan, i have got to change topics just a little bit with you because i have been covering all week long this story and also the imgritioimmigration debate. the white house has a plan out there now more than doubles what democrats have been asking for. democrats are outright refusing it going what i would say is probably overplaying their hand, just calling it a racist ransom note. what do you make of this plan put forth? it's a legislative
3:36 am
framework. we are going to hear more about it on monday. what do you make of what you have seen so far? >> well, i'm not a supporter of daca amnesty at all. i just want to be open and honest with our audience. i think trump baited the left in on this one. i think he put out a reasonable plan that was a first offer to see how the democrats would respond. and, of course, what -- how did they respond? how they always respond. with hyperbole and hilarity. nancy pelosi out there saying make the country white again. do you understand, guys, the democrats have nothing. okay? their policies are so ridiculous they could never put them on a campaign sign. with tacks, give us your money. healthcare, give us your healthcare. education, give us your kids. and immigration, give us your votes. that's all they care about. griff: let me push back on you a little bit though. why are conservatives and you say you are begins daca. why are you against daca? more than 70% of the country want to do something compassionate for these young dreamers and this is the white house saying okay, i hear you, america.
3:37 am
we're going to give you what you want. but i want a wall. i want border security. and i want chain migration, which by the way brought over 7 million illegals in to this country in the last decade, why are you against daca? >> because my wife came here legally, griff. and it took a lot of money and it took a lot of time. and it took a lot of work. and if you can explain to me a reasonable reason why she should have come here legally, if she could have gotten the exact same benefit from just walking across the border and announcing she is here, i'm all ears. but i haven't heard any reasonable explanation yet. pete: as a conservative, what are you looking for next in this? >> in the immigration debate? pete: yes. >> i would like to seat democrats come back to the table with some reasonable proposal. if the only thing we can get is the original goodlatte bill some trade-off for a limited number of daca recipients in exchange for wiping out the visa lottery, chain migration, and a strong border wall, then i
3:38 am
think a lot of republicans -- conservatives would be all ears. the democrats aren't being reasonable on this. they don't want to be. they will never ever give trump a win. they don't care. they are taking up a scorched earth policy. griff: we have got to leave it there dan weighing in. always energized. turning now to your headlines. a democrat mayor in florida removed from office after an fbi sting busts her for corruption. governor rick scott suspending hallen dale beach mayor joy cooper while she faces three felony charges. surrendering to authorities following under cover investigation near fort lauderdale. she is charged with money laundering, official misconduct and exceeding campaign contribution limits. she plans to plead not guilty. the deadly flu activity remains high. hitting baby boomers harder than usual this year. the cdc reporting one reason would depend on which flu strain they were edge exposed ta child. the virus claiming another

4:03 am
out very important to us. and if we do that if we end sanctuary cities and get rid of the face is a lottery system and end chain migration who is coming into the country. we will look at the 1.8 million people already in the system here and have a potential path to citizenship over 10 to 12 year period. but there is no path to citizenship without the wall. i thought the democrats wanted to bring more people in, they wanted to let people into the country. they wanted to make these people citizens. when the president proposes it their answer is let's stop, this isn't an acceptable solution. pete: corey, you are right. the president said 1.8 million daca dreamers may get a path to citizenship. not good for nancy pelosi. listen to what she had to say to the president's proposal. >> the president put forth a plan, that plan is a campaign to make america white again. they are changing the character of our country by what they are putting forth.

they bring a tear to the eye of the statue of liberty and they bring fear into the heart of people who are here playing by the rules. pete: corey, you just want to make america white again? >> i want everybody to see that clip because nancy pelosi wants to be the next speaker of the house. and if the democrats have their way, they will take back the house and she'll be the speaker. she is so out of touch with reality right now, she lives in a sanctuary city. a city where a beautiful girl by the name of kate steinle was killed by illegal alien who was deported five times. let's build the wall on the southern border. put 25 billion in. let's build the wall which somewhat president promised to keep killers out from coming into our country. very fair thing to do. pete: corey, conservative also say you ran against amnesty and ran against a pathway to citizenship. this is giving away the farm on the opening bid. what do you say to that? >> >> well, do i think you have to be very careful and understanding where the opening bid is. i think it's a lot of people. 1.8 million people is a lot
4:05 am
of people to be talking about. this is triple what the obama administration had proposed. the candidly we don't know how many illegal aliens are in our country. supposedly 690,000 daca recipients that would have qualified. let's find out where this is the most important component is you have to end chain migration. you have to stop the sanctuary cities. you have to end this face is a lottery program and build the wall on the southern border. give and take. why isn't the conversation when you talk about that number and conservings upset about 1.8 million. this differs from 1986 and ronald reagan which was amnesty for 3 million, 4 million came out of shad co-s and applied. this is targeting specifically these dealers. targeting specifically the children brought here illegally and giving them what democrats want. why are they not democrats saying okay, this is what we want but we have a problem with this. why aren't they at least
4:06 am
willing to say okay. this is a starting point. >> democrats obstructionists. they don't want to actually talk about real issues. if they did they would come to the table and say the people who came to this country through no fault of their own what their argument is parents brought them in as children should be the first ones because they didn't do anything wrong to have the opportunity to become a citizen. what the president has now proposeside looking at a very selective group and having a conversation about them we haven't decided what what that's going to be. democrats responses absolutely not. they have no interest in actually having a policy about anything other than stopping the president's agenda. rachel: corey, i agree. you know i'm hispanic. i look at this and i think a lot of hit-and-runs are going t -- hispanics aregoing t. 8 years to solve immigration. border security was always the sticking point, he is saying i will solve the border problem and you will

get twice the number of hispanics on a pathway to citizenship. i think this is a really tough deal. i think this is going to expose the democrats for who they are that they just want to run on daca. they do not want to help these kids stay here. they are using them. >> rachel, we will severe clearly over the next coming weeks and i hope the president talks about this during his state of the union speech tuesday night. it gives the president the opportunity to go right back to the american people and say oh, crying chuck schumer and nancy pelosi really good at these sound bites but they don't actually want to imorch. this is why washington has been broken. this is why the american people sent donald trump to washington, d.c. to actually get things done which to build the wall on the southern border. let's get it done for a change. let's stop talking about it. pete: the stock market set yet another record yesterday up 200 points. companies continuing to give bonuses. president in davos where

even the "new york times" had to acknowledge a warm reception from international leaders recognizing that this president has kick started the economy. do you think at any point he will get the credit that is due for the policies that have really, to say it again, kick started our economy? >> the mainstream media doesn't want to give this president credit. but every time that those individuals at the end of the month open up their 401(k) and see that their number is up, up, and up. what we have seen is almost 50% increase in the stock market since his election. 44% is where we are right now. $7 trillion in new value since the president has been elected. these numbers are phenomenal. they are the great nest a lifetime or longer. and the mainstream media doesn't want to give this president credit. look at all the companies that are reinvesting. giving their employees bonuses or increasing their hourly wages. that is money in the pockets of people. democrats want to say it's crumbs. they want to say $1,000
4:09 am
doesn't make a difference. i don't know where they are. where i live, $1,000 is a big difference in people's lives. >> right, corey. wrote on the wall those companies, real quick. what does it say that awful europe's leaders were skeptical and criticizing the president as he headed to davos. but then when he got there, every major european ceo, volvo, anheuser bush, imbev were praising him hand over fist. what does that say? >> that is quintessential donald trump. when you don't know him and haven't had a chance to meet him easy to criticize him. meet him and realize how gracious and warm and friendly he is. he wants to bring those businesses to the united states. he told them we now have a competitive tax plan for the corporate -- for corporation operating in this country which puts them in a global marketplace much more competitive. come here. we are the greatest country in the world. we want your investment. we want you to be here. we are open for business more jobs for our country and more citizens and more

opportunity. and those international corporations are looking at what donald trump has done on the corporate side and tax side and say we want to invest in america for the first time in last nine years. almost set a watch on foreign trips to the "new york times" going to drop something on the friday during that trip change the conversation, more recently the new nugget that was not a new nugget because we knew about it in june that they allege that president trump wanted to fire bob mueller and potentially instructed his staff to do so even though there is a lot of muddy waters about what actually happened. it looks like they are trying to build an obstruction case, potentially through the special counsel. making the case that he wanted to obstruct the investigation into so-called russian collusion. senator richard blumenthal was on another network talking about this and was fairly blunt. take a listen. >> there's a credible case of obstruction of justice against the president of the united states. and what we're seeing, in fact, extraordinarily is obstruction of justice in a sense unfolding right before
4:11 am
us in realtime with the actions and statements that he making he is no right to misuse the powers of his office to intimidate witnesses, to fire prosecutors, to withhold documents or destroy them. and that is a very clear line that evidently he doesn't respect. pete: corey, this is an important point they moved on from collusion because as you said time and time again there is none. they moved on to obstruction. they are building both a public and private case to make that. >> look. it's been very clear the investigation has been going for a year there is no collusion there was no collusion. information from russia was the clinton campaign. that's what they should be looking into. narrative doesn't work anymore. they wanting to try something else. for senator blumenthal to insinuate that donald trump has destroyed documents which he has no proof of. and that he is potentially, according to unnamed sources had a conversation about whether he could fire or november not fire robert mueller has nothing to do with it. look, the president has a
4:12 am
prerogative to have a conversation about anybody. there was no action being. incident here. he has said very publicly, is he not going to fire robert mueller. i don't think he should fire robert mueller, so, whether these conversations took place or not are almost irrelevant, for senator blumenthal to say he has clear evidence of this is a candid lie and he should be held accountable for it because it's not true. griff: all right, corey. thank you very much for weighing in. we have got to leave it right there. you mentioned those democrats. coming up, i hit capitol hill to talk to those democrats, find out whether they would trade the border wall for a deal on daca. rachel: great question. >> i don't think is absolutely best. >> the president started out talking about a big long wall. that's not practical. griff: do democrats really want a deal? more of that ahead. >> really interesting. pete: outrage growing over text message fbi agents. now they want a special prosecutor to investigate

ideas should have the discretion not to become ringleaders in a group known as a domestic terrorist organization. pete: well, it's a fair point. the professor shot back in an op-ed in the stanford review writing this: he said we purposefully did not name ourselves campus antifa network because we understand the distinction between those two words. we named ourselves the campus anti-fascist network to claim an alliance with the anti-fascist who fought hitler and other fascist ideas. so he is trying to thread the needle and say we are in for revistain reresisting trump. we don't want to carry clubs out and beat people. does that work for you. >> not quite. in blog post he supports self-defense against fascists but not outright violence. the definition of self-defense and fascism that has been provided by
4:28 am
these groups are so broad that they could really be used to construe any conservative presence on campus. anti-fascist stockpiled firearms ben shapiro at the university of utah claiming he represented fascism. i also believe that if the professor truly want to peacefully resist things like doxing online he would create an anti-doxing network or something to that effect. not the campus antifa network which to most reasonable people -- i'm sorry campus anti-fascist network which to most reasonable people is going to connote antifa. rachel: to be clear, dhs has said that the activity of antifa is considered toe mess stick terrorism. so it's worth noting and it does send a message to conservative groups, anna. thank you for bringing this to our attention. and there is all kinds of stuff happening on campus that people like you are bringing to our attention. pete: thanks for being aggressive and forward

4:38 am
protected by the idf of all things. stuff most people don't know about. and when they go back home, they would be targeted for being collaborators simply for trying to get sick kids medical treatment or maybe a blanket or perhaps cold weather clothing because of how cold it is out there. and we are mighty cold when we were out there. as i got tongue tangled as i was talking to them. this is one of the best news stories to come out of conflict for over six years inside of syria. the bravery of the idf troops who do this surreptitiously is the word i was told to use. surreptitious deliveries and the amount of protections they give to that camp reflects great credit on them and the americans who donate to this cause and who are staffing that hospital. pete: well done, colonel. a story that most of the wider middle east would never know. israelis defending that border. we see a wall there and heard it's quite effective there. but also helping those coming to that wall in need of help. colonel, thanks a lot. and stay safe there.

song. pete: fantastic song. you suggested it last week and got it in my head all week long they didn't play it last weekend. congratulations. griff: already dancing because he loves the framework on immigration. the music came in on top of that. pete: obviously this morning we are talking about the proposal put out by the white house on thursday which has had everyone talking ever since on both sides of the ideological spectrum. before we talk about those two sides, let's lay out what the white house is proposing in its initial proposal which will come out more in a legislative framework on monday. they say the deal should look like this. $25 billion for border security on our southern border. as well as internal enforcement. they talk about eliminating the visa lottery program which the president has talked a lot about. curbing chain migration. limiting it just to immediate family members as oppose to the the current system which seems almost endless. finally they talk about a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers. that one i would say was probably the biggest surprise for people on both
5:03 am
sides of the aisle. conservatives saying wow, citizenship and 1.8 and democrats saying wow, that's a lot more than we expected. rachel: than we ever offered by the way. than we ever offered latinos. better more generous offer than democrats have ever offered the daca recipients. you would think they would be really happy. here is what nancy pelosi has to say about it. >> the president put forth a plan. that plan is a campaign to make america white again. they are changing the character of our country by what they are putting forth. they bring a tear to the eye of the statue of liberty and they bring fear into the hearts of people who are here playing by the rules. griff: this is remarkable to me. someone who covers legislation in washington all week long every week, every day, it just seems that democrats have chosen to resist instead of even accept it that's why we asked, we had on earlier corey lewandowski. corey, you know, helped the president get elected but he has also helped to push as
5:04 am
many things as he can on tax reform and now on immigration. i said are you frustrated that democrats won't even consider it? here is what corey said. >> i thought the democrats wanted to bring more people in. they wanted to let people in to the country. they wanted to make these people citizens. but when the president proposes it, their answer is let's stop. this isn't an acceptable solution. nancy pelosi wants to be the next speaker of the house. if the democrats have their way, they will take back the house and she will be the speaker. she is so out of touch with reality right now. pete: rachel, you just want to make america white again. rachel: exactly. we are going to bring in almost 2 million more hispanics and other nationalities and making america white again? this makes absolutely no sense. i will tell you this as hispanic woman and i hope all the hispanics that are watching right now get. this if you ever wondered why the democrats couldn't put together a deal in 8 years that they had the house, and some of those points house, senate, and the presidency in the first few years of obama's administration, if you ever
5:05 am
wonder why they couldn't put it together or why obama took out from under marco rubio when he was trying to put together a plan and then president obama jumped in and did a daca, that could be, you know, no certainty, this is giving you certainty, it's increasing, doubling the number. they don't want to solve. this they are using hispanics. they want to run on daca. they want to use identity politics. they are so afraid of donald trump and the republicans being the ones who actually solve not just the situation for the daca recipients but also the problem at the border that started. this because if you get immigration off the table, they lose this racial thing they want to run on. and they also, i think, open republicans up to looking at the republican party as a potential place that they could be. griff: how does that help them in 2018 though when democrat voters say what did you give us? like give us something and daca is what the white house
5:06 am

5:07 am
the border -- pete: the question will be what happens going forward? this is either a bill brilliant opening bid. rachel: it is brilliant. pete: conservatives have legitimate concerns. we are talking about citizenship for a million more people than they thought. i think there needs to be a tryingner here. would f. we don't get the wall first, end the of chain may congratulation first and visa lottery you don't get daca deal for the immigrants. what has happened in the past all the promises for border security and somehow the washington swamp finds a way to choke it out. even a trust fund can be raided of $25 billion. you better be careful how you do it because a lot of people want to undo it. rachel: if there is one person that the american people trust to build a wall, president. and somebody who is willing to take the heat in all the racist arrows that are thrown at him for taking on border security, it's donald trump. donald trump made a brilliant move here. he has backed these democrats into a corner. and now their true colors are showing. i they don't want to help

the daca recipients. state of the union, all the democrats are bringing in daca recipients and dreamers to make their point, i hope that the president speaks directly to them and say the people that are sitting on this side of the aisle do not wanted to give you a deal because that's what you see right now. their true colors are so exposed. i think they're going to lose hispanics on this because you have got people like gutierrez, have you got people like manchin honest brokers who really want to help these kids. >> senator kaine saying i'm willing to do things. >> make me so bad mad. pete: lose a lot of base support if he goes too far as well. a balance he has to make to strike the deal. that's why he is in the seat that he is in. we want to know what you think friends@foxnews.com. what's your take on the proposal so far? griff: another story that i think people should be paying attention to after the state of the union, probably mid to late week is the release of this fisa memo. we have seen a lot of talk about it. pete: #release the memo.

5:18 am
calm, reassured, confident speech but he also started to explain why the american economy is outperforming everybody else. he talked about deregulation. of course, he talked about tax cuts. the reaction was stunning. you know, we had lawyer black fame one of the biggest goldman sachs bosses in the world saying there was a lot more in the speech that i liked that i didn't like. we had the bowls of wpp one of the biggest appetizers in the worlds saying it was such a good speech, maybe trump is going to do better in the midterms than everybody thought. so, i think yesterday he began to make people, perhaps, rethink the economic model because we in europe and across much of the west, are obsessed with the regulation upon regulation and the idea that all countries should have the same rules and what trump talked about was competition giving people incentive and bringing jobs.

it with bureaucracy. they didn't like it. the important thing is that business likes it. business will think a lot about what he said. and i have to say, a lot more businesses in my view will invest in america on the back of it. pete: that's a great point, bureaucrats like to talk about common goals but it's ultimately competition that's going to change that dynamic in europe and maybe get them back onto the ledger of relevance. nigel, thanks a lot. appreciate your time. rachel: thank you, nigel. a picture is worth a thousand words but not when it's hidden from the public for 13 years. could this photo of president obama have changed the course of history? lifelong democrat alan dershowitz is here to react. pete: plus, democrats are blasting president trump's immigration plan. can both sides find a middle ground or are the dems more interested in dividing america? we're going to debate it coming up next. ♪ we ain't going to take it ♪ we're not going to take it anymore ♪

5:26 am
and decide that they want to be on the side of helping the afghan government stand up or if they are going to stay with the terrorists. that's going to be the real key. griff: joe, your thoughts on. this griff, first and foremost, this is a horrible attack. it's devastating to watch number of civilians to get killed and we need to be very firm in our view in our approach and response to this doesn't mean the attack came from pakistan. what is driving this terrorism? we currently do not have a diplomatic approach that engages pakistan, the different parties, the warring factions inside of afghanistan to really resolve. this we had this for nearly 17 years. you think by this time we would have a real clear idea of thousand fix this situation which is critical for our national security. the current policies only seeing a worsening of these type of attacks, however. griff: that's a good point it's been 17 years. let me move on to another topic. that's originally what we wanted you to bring you on the program for. that's breaking down the

president's immigration plan. right? i mean, this deal is a legislative framework. but it's pretty clear what it is. it's more than double what democrats were asking for in terms of daca. it includes, of course, the wall the white house saying that, you know, no wall, no daca deal. jim, let me start with you. are democrats simply showing their hand that they just want to resist in the face of actually accomplishing something for dreamers? >> you know, the president is not going to give them a better deal this is more than they had a right to expect. they decided to take him on and play a game of chicken and he smoked them like a cheap cigar when they shut down the government. you know, i guess even chuck schumer wasn't crazy enough to want the democrats slogan for the mid terms to be illegal immigrants over u.s. citizens. they need to look at this, accept the fact that he made a goodwill gesture and if they don't take this, the american people will see where their priorities are. and the american people want border security.
5:28 am
griff: jim, you mentioned schumer. he tweeted this flies in the face of the what american people want. i ask you what do the democrats want? >> griff, immigration is american as apple pie. look around. find me some american who doesn't have family roots somewhere overseas or south of the border. we need to have an approach that includes american values. and currently we don't. and building a wall, for example, is part of a deal, that's a budget busting boon dog gel. $25 billion americans, you and me and our children will have to pay for. >> president trump on the trail we need to have different approach to. currently this is piecemeal and using dreamers as extortion tool for getting a wall that the president knows mexico will pay for. griff: here a lot about next week. thanks for coming on and

>> there is a credible case of obstruction of justice against the president of the united states. and what we're seeing, in addition to, extraordinarily is obstruction of justice in a sense unfolding right before us in realtime with the actions and statements that he is making. he has no right to misuse the powers of his office to intimidate witnesses, to fire prosecutors, to withhold documents or destroy them. and that is a very clear line that evidently he doesn't respect. pete: that you hear from the senator from connecticut richard blumenthal. he said it's a credible case of obstruction of justice against the president of the united states. you don't want to hear what we think about that. so we will bring in alan dershowitz lifelong democrat who definitely has a take on that. richard blumenthal, this comes after the article in the "new york times" that outlines that the president thought about firing or may have ordered the firing of robert mueller but, of
5:34 am
course, never happened. is there an obstruction case being built against this president and if so is it a credible one? >> i think the answer is yes and no. the special counsel is trying to build special counsel case. there is no credible case because under the constitution a president cannot be charged merely exercising his constitutional authority under article 2. what senator blumenthal referred to is cases are a president destroys evidence. there is no evidence of that. that's what president nixon did. nixon was charged with obstruction of justice for ordering his underlings to lie to the fbi. paying hush money. and destroying evidence. president clinton was charged with obstruction for allegedly lying to the grand jury at a deposition. but if the president simply exercised his constitutional authority, namely firing underlings, which is he entitled to do telling the fbi not to investigate a
5:35 am
particular person which he is entitled to do, pardoning people which he hasn't done yet thinking about whether he should fire special counsel, that's not obstruction of justice under the constitution. griff: professor, kroncke, wasn't this supposed to be about collusion? >> it is supposed to be about collusion, of course they soon discovered that collusion is not a crime so they are now crying to create crimes out of the way the president allegedly defended himself against the charges of collusion. it's a typical prosecutorial tactic. you can't get him for the substantive crime so you get him for the alleged coverup or obstruction. that's why martha stewart went to jail. martha stewart wasn't the president the united states. the president of the united states has constitutional authority to do what president trump is accused or alleged to have done it would create a constitutional crisis and a separation of powers issue
5:36 am
this if a president was ever charged with merely exercising his constitutional authority because the prosecutor didn't approve of his motive. everybody has mixed motives. to start creating thought crimes out of a president's motives would create a serious constitutional conflict. rachel: professor, so there is talk right now that john kerry, hasn't been confirmed, but there is talk that john kerry is meddling in the middle east peace process. what are your thoughts on that that he is using some sort of emissary to convey messages to people not to work with the trump administration on the palestinian side? what do you say to that? >> well, he has denied it. if it's true it's a very serious matter a person who is not in office should not be interfering with the foreign policy of the united states. jimmy carter did it when he tried to persuade yasser arafat not to accept the clinton, barack peace deal of 2000, and 2001. if john kerry is telling arafat indirectly not to
5:37 am
accept peace officers or not to sit down and negotiate but to play for time, he is doing something serious. is he very lucky that the logan amendment is not enforce because it would violate the terms of the logan easement amendment. it's interesting the democrats are trying to resurrect the logan amendment. it's what prohibits private citizens from negotiating policy. it's not in force. but if it were kerry would be guilty of it if he did what he is accused of. griff: secretary kerry's people pushing back on these reports. pete: of course they are. >> we will find out the truth. it's important to know. if he is undercutting the current administration on foreign policy, that's a serious matter. pete: absolutely. and also potentially saying this guy will only be around another year or so don't worry about it again, not confirmed but reported. another topic we are going to get your take on. is there is a photo emerged from 2005 from the congressional black caucus buried by them. a picture of then i believe it was candidate or senator
5:38 am
obama. >> senator. peter: with louis farrakhan. the photographer on tucker said, he was on tucker carlson saying hey we have the sound. we will play what the photographer said about that sound. take a listen. >> a staff member from the black caucus called me and said we have to have the picture back. i was kind of taken aback. the thought was minister farrakhan and his reputation would hurt someone trying to win acceptance in the broad cross section of people who want that acceptability in the cross over can't stand the inquisition that comes with being. >> why would barack obama not want a picture of louis farrakhan in the public? >> because louis farrakhan is a virulent anti-semite. he has called judaism a gutter religion. is he anti-american. he is a horrible, horrible human being. if i had known that the president had posed
5:39 am
smilingly with him as a senator i would not have campaigned. look, i threatened to leave the democratic party if keith ellison were elected as chairman because of his association with farrakhan. you don't associate with a bigot. you don't associate with an anti-semite there should be zero tolerance for that kind of bigotry. and if barack obama associated with him. if the black caucus invited him. i don't blame them for trying to suppress the truth. because that's a really horrible truth. we should have nobody in public office associating with a bigot like the reverend farrakhan. rachel: thank you, professor. it will be interesting to see if there are other things that become uncovered as we move forward in the barack obama presidency in our rear view mirror things will pop up. >> we need the truth about every presidency and every president and candidate. rachel: thank you, professor.

5:48 am
best business confidence on record including for small businesses. those three things are critical for markets in the economy. and we know hillary clinton would not have done those things. we said so. if she kept her campaign promises we know she wouldn't have done those things. i don't think it's a stretch to say markets are up more much more now than they would have been under a clinton presidency. pete: this is a continuation or slingshot of the growth he h if hillary clinton had continued those policies we wouldn't see this. how disingenuous is the barack obama gets credit argument? >> look, have you got an economy under barack obama that's going like this. when donald trump takes office, there is a hockey stick movement there, the trajectory goes up because he does things to accelerate growth. no good to have slow growth. everybody knows that. that's why president trump is president trump. americans don't like slow growth. he changes that accelerates this it. now all of a sudden we are seeing woken newses and stock markets rising to levels we have never seen

i think that if you strip away all of the noise and i think the unhelpful statements by leader pelosi bringing race and racism into this debate at this late stage and focus on the two items number one, remember the movie liar liar where at some point he just couldn't lie any more and had to tell the truth? i think that you saw with chuck schumer when a week ago friday when he said that they would go along with the wall that was because he couldn't not tell the truth. the truth was that the democrats have decided that the southern border wall is something that is unavoidable however distaste full to them. on the other hand i think that the core of the republican party has come to the conclusion that the dreamers must be given some form, some roadmap to citizenship and how you now define this negotiation, i believe is how many dreamers now qualify the democrats give on the wall, the gop and
6:04 am
conservatives give on the dream ers, and they're there in lies the essence of a compromise that can settle this issue once and for all. rachel: can we first look at what nancy pelosi had to say about this deal and we'll talk about it on the other side. >> the president put forth a plan. that plan is a campaign to make america white again. they're changing the character of our country, but what they are putting forth, they bring a tear to the eye of the statue of liberty and they bring fear to the heart of people here playing by the rules. pete: does that fear mongering work? for conservatives citizenship and 1.8 daca recipients is a lot more than people expected this white house to give. there's a lot of angst on the conservative right about that. they made that concession out of the gate yet that is her response. you're racist. geraldo: you know pete i think
6:05 am
it's almost immature. it's like if you can't have a good argument you bring in racism or something, whatever the term that is easy. i think it's something that does not contribute to solving this dilemma. we now have a dilemma. i know you've been doing a story about a young man killed in 2010 by an undocumented immigrant, an illegal immigrant. you know you have the other story on the other side, jorge garcia, this detroit dad who had been here 30 years, two citizen children, law-abiding, hard working and his kids are clutching his leg as he's being deported. i think that those are two images that we've got to erase from the american consciousness. we've got to solve this problem. we've got an issue where we have millions of people without proper documentation in this country. we have, they come across a border wall now i think democrat s and republicans agree
6:06 am
a border that is undefended and very difficult to regulate and so let's get this together. let's get this done. the president wants to get the dreamers a path to citizenship and some compassion. i think that democrats now have conceded that the southern border wall is so ingrained in the political consciousness of the country that it has to happen in some form. let's move forward on that base. rachel: geraldo you set it up perfectly. i think people have a heart for daca recipients who have been here for a long time and you know they don't want them deported. at the same time their heart also goes out for those people who have been hurt by open borders, so you're an advisor, say you're an advisor to the president. i know he listens to you he's at the state of the union and he's going to address the dreamers that the democrats have brought into the state of the union hall and the dreamers that are watching out there in the hispanic community . what should the president say at that moment he has a direct voice without the filter of the media.
6:07 am
geraldo: that's a great question and i hope that the president sometimes listens to my un solicited advice i appreciate that he follows me on twitter. that's terrific. what i hope he does is to speak in moderation rachel. i want him to not bring in the hard edges of this debate any longer. i want him to focus on this apparent agreement in the middle forget about the freedom caucus on the one side and the far left democrats on the other and focus on the the great core, the great core of the moderates and both parties that can agree to a reasonable compromise. a compromise means you don't get everything you want. a compromise means you have to suffer a little pain. a compromise means you have to give up something otherwise it's not a compromise. i think now we have this ability , the president can say here to answer your specific question. i love these dreamers, they're vetted. we know exactly who they are. they're hard working or in the military or in college. we want to keep them, their
6:08 am
vital energy and their patriotism right here and the only country they've ever known on the other hand, i appreciate that the democrats have now agreed to fulfill what is the most important issue for my constituents the majority of the people in those electoral states who voted me to be the 45th president, we need a southern border wall. i would say -- my 12 year old -- rachel: go ahead i'm sorry. geraldo: my 12 year old says why don't you have a fence between properties? i mean, what makes a good neighbor? rachel: i hope you're right but griff interviewed a lot of those senators and they don't like the wall. >> griff: we could talk about this for the next week but i want to hit one more topic with you before we run out of time and that is a story after the state of the union later in the week an expect the fisa memo will be made public. the department of justice and democrats like adam shift, the
6:09 am
member of the intelligence committee there saying don't release this. we had tom finton the president of the judicial watch on earlier and we asked about this. take a listen. >> well passed time for a series of investigation what went on at the doj and fbi. i want to know why these agents are still at the fbi. lisa page worked for number 2 the fbi whose still there, andrew mccabe and it looks like they're talking about not using sufficient fbi resources and purposely withholding fbi resources and fulling back in order not to get mrs. clinton angry and it explains why the fbi investigation was half baked and ridiculous. >> griff: so tom there, geraldo, what do you make of this release of the possible release of the fridays o memo? geraldo: release the memo. this is a country that is supposed to be open government. let's release this dam memo. the house republicans on the intel committee compiled this
6:10 am
four-page document this memo. as i understand it the heart of this memo suggests very strongly that the valued fbi was not impartial in terms of its probe of the president and the russia gate and so forth. if they were not impartial, in other words if it was politically motivated in any aspect of the investigation of russia gate and the president's involvement then the people should know that. people should know that there is a corruption however difficult it is to come to grips with that , a corruption that at the heart or whoever is dealing with this probe of russia gate and the president. i think the american people deserve to know, for example, this fisa warrant that led to the investigation of carter page if indeed the fisa warrant which is very difficult to obtain was
6:11 am
based on the dossier, the discredited steel dossier about the president's alleged shenanigans in moscow back in 2013, if that dossier was really the basis for getting the fisa warrant, then people should know that. then there's a rotten foundation you can't build a building on a cancerous rotten foundation. i think you have to release the memo. you have to be full disclosure. the democrats can write their own memo also but it is better for the american people to know what's going on. >> griff: and they're going to geraldo thank you. rachel: thank you. we'll bring you back after the memo is released. geraldo: thank you rachel. rachel: turning to your headlines u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson paying tribute in respect to the victims of the holocaust overnight to a visit to pole and , tillerson laying a wreath commemorating the 73rd anniversary of the

rachel: straight to a fox news alert the taliban claiming responsibility for an attack in kabul that killed at least 95 people overnight. >> griff: this making it the deadliest attack in afghanistan so far this year. pete: our nelson barber is live in washington with the latest. ellison? >> it's the taliban's second success fell attack in a week in kabul a city that has high security at least 95 people are dead in the last hour, that number increased dramatically and it could increase even more, right now officials say at least 150 people are injured. the explosion happened at a security checkpoint and smoke filled the sky as people of all ages ran for safety. >> the casualties are very high. bodies were everywhere, near the hospital and everywhere. i don't know if the attacker was on foot or if it was a suicide car bomb. maybe he was a suicide car bomb
6:18 am
because i saw pieces of a vehicle on the road and it had also created a crater on the road. the incident happened five meter s away from my car. rachel: it was a suicide car bomb a spokesperson for the afghan ministry of interior tells the associated press the suicide bomber used an ambulance to get through a security check point. the attacker told police he was taking a patient to a nearby hospital and once the attacker reached a second security checkpoint he detonated explosives. the taliban through a spokesperson quickly took responsibility for the attack a week ago in the same city taliban militants killed 22 people in an attack on the intercontinental hotel. the u.s. state department said four americans were among the dead and two among the injured and the taliban controls territory, in afghanistan and pakistan. earlier this month the u.s. cut aid to pakistan because according to the u.s. the country failed to take action against militant groups operating in the country.
6:19 am
the state department said aid would be cut until pakistan took action against groups like the taliban. pakistan has long denied those types of accusations, the street where the latest attack happened is reportedly only open to government workers. government buildings are in this area. the old interior ministry building is in this area as are foreign embassies european union rachel, pete, griff? pete: ellison thanks a lot. a deadly attack meant to be symbolic if you're the taliban you want to show the government you've hit them at the heart. i've spent time in that very neighborhood. it is a very secure area and this is also not the fighting season so you're seeing two deadly attack attacks in a matter of weeks, doesn't bode well and raises questions about how you actually security in light of all of the control the taliban has right now. >> griff: likely a message actually. pete: very much so, so we'll cover that. coming up president trump unveiling his plan to crack down on immigration. the son of our next guest was killed by an illegal immigrant in 2010 and she's here to react

you hear? griff: jordan sekulow the nominee for the prestigious walter peyton man of the year award and controversial espn jam al hill is leaving her sports center position for a lower profile writing job for the undefeated. espn suspending hill last year shortly after calling president trump a white supremacist in a tweet. rachel? rachel: the president is out with his plan to crack down on immigration which includes $25 billion to secure our border pete: including a pathway to citizenship for 1 point # illegal immigrants and this hits home for our next guest whose 18-year-old son josh was killed by an illegal immigrant in 2010 brought here as a 10 year old by his parents illegally. here with her reaction to the president's plan is laura wilkin son. laura thank you very much for being here this morning. obviously the story of your son is powerful. give us if you would very briefly up front tell us a little bit about your son. >> josh was 18 a senior in high school just living life and
6:25 am
learning, loving and he was brutally tortured, beaten in the head with a closet rod, strangled to death and after death set on fire. pete: my goodness horrific. we're sorry. rachel: very sorry to hear that. so you've seen the plan that's come out, 25 billion for the wall, the end of chain migration and the visa lottery. what do you think of the plan especially in light of the tragedy that your family has had to endure? >> i'm not excited about it because we were prop used no daca. build the wall so i'm not really excited about it although i know we'll have to make some concessions. if this is the only way we can fund a wall and it gets built it might be the thing we have to do i don't like it. it sets a huge precedent when you are allowing parents in the name of their child to break a federal law and then rewarding the child by giving him citizenship and a right to vote and every right in this country. pete: well laura, the man whose now 19 at the time who killed your son was a dreamer, brought here illegally by his parents.
6:26 am
how does it make you feel when a pathway to citizenship is part of the initial proposal? >> yeah, that's what i do not like about it. it might be that they could even stay here at some point if we just absolutely had to. to have the right to vote and to have the right to every citizen in this country has i don't think is right. we don't have to give them anything. the ones that are marching and demanding in the streets we don't owe them anything, so we don't have to give an inch and i don't like the fact that they're demanding something like it's owed to them. it is not. we don't have to give them anything. i realize some concessions may have to be made but they better be few. rachel: so i've interviewed other angel moms and dads on this show and they all say the same thing. they say thank you fox news for covering this story we hear so much about all of the good thins that dreamers and daca recipients have done. we hear so little about so few networks are willing to cover the story about my son or
6:27 am
daughter. can you expand on that? >> yes. i mean so grateful about it because you don't hear it on the other media and so it has to be told it's a true story. it's the other half of what's happening to all of the valedictorians that are here and doing so wonderfully but they're still here illegally and so yes, we're the other half of the story. you have to present them both and yes i am grateful for fox in doing so. pete: laura looking at the parameters of the deal which have been generally laid out for quite some time if there were changes you'd like to see made or thins you need to see happen and you had a message for this president, what would it be? >> that they have no right to vote ever, that they don't have a right for their parents to stay in this country, that end the visa lottery, no chain migration. if we can cap it into a certain number then that's one thing but i don't believe that we're there yet and so we have to have the things he promised that's what he promised us and what we help ed him get elected on. pete: is part of your fear that
6:28 am
some of the amnesty will take place but other thins won't happen would you be in support of if the wall gets built and the visa lottery system ends and chain migration is curtailed then we can look at sort of citizenship for dreamers or legal status for daca recipients is ordering or sequencing important for you? >> oh, yes absolutely. you can't even really assess whose here because it changes every second of every day before you have the wall. if this is president trump's way to get the wall i understand what he's doing but at the same time you're right. i don't believe in giving them citizenship but maybe there's a way for them to stay here legal ly but you have to do the first things first until you close that border if we're looking 20-30 years down the road if that border is not closed my grand baby has no chance. it's going to be open third world country and there's going to be nothing different than that. rachel: laura your story is powerful thank you for coming on i saw the photo of your son and he was a dreamer too and
6:29 am
american children are dreamers as well that's why that phrase is very loaded. thank you for sharing your story and for giving your thoughts on this proposal by the president. thank you. pete: thanks, laura. go ahead. >> i just want to tell you that i did visit with the man that killed joshua just a few weeks ago and his narrative has changed. he's changed it to the kate stin ley case, he didn't mean to kill josh so it should be okay and that's the way it's going to go. every time when you said something new you give an inch they will take a mile. that sickened me. pete: thank you very much appreciate your time. more fox on the other side. i promise, to have and to hold, from this day forward

6:45 am
neil: well you know what's interesting, i live in new jersey and one of the things that the new governor there murphy has talked about is a tax on upper income folks and in that environment, he's even bumping heads with his own senate president whose a democrat. in fact new jersey is one of eight states where democrats run the show all branches of government yet even there they recognize you could be chasing the well to do out of your state if you make it very expensive for them, so there's a bit of a drama building here. now whether it's going to change their behavior, or find more affordable governments, i mean they each had their own sort of weird issues to deal with, but i don't think it's going to lead to any sort of spending restraint license what they're doing now to just sort of file a lawsuit to stop this thing, but i don't think that's going to happen but we're going to explore it. rachel: there's been so much good economic news. is it just the democrats like they don't know how to handle they didn't vote for this tax reform so they can't take credit
6:46 am
for the good news so they're trying to distract and come up with a message? it doesn't make any sense to me. neil: well you know what's weird about it rachel is that not too long ago and you can remember way back talking about this type of thing on cashing in, those are the good old days and one of the things of you remember is that at that time, many years ago not that many years ago a lot of democrats are rallying around the idea of a bonus that would come via a payroll tax cut that could amount to wouldn't you know about a thousand dollars and back then they were championing that so they're in this weird position of trying to explain how they can dismiss companies handing out thousand dollar bonus checks. that's how come the government is coming to companies yet what they were very angry that republicans were trying to stop the payroll tax that amounted to a thousand dollars. so i know hipocracy knows no bounds with either party when it comes to d.c. but it is this weird fixer because even the white house readily acknowledged they didn't see all of this corporate sharing to the degree they are and again as you guys
6:47 am
were mentioning earlier more and more companies are doing this. i mean on average of 10 a day, so we're going to see probably a lot more. pete: you know all these companies there it's more than we can scroll through without spending the entire segment doing so. rachel raised a -- neil: please try not to. pete: you're too beautiful neil. we can't do that. rachel pointed out this doesn't even count the small businesses and smaller towns elsewhere giving back to their employees as well. neil: very good point. there's a small store where i live and the manager there was telling me he usually puts things aside for me so we're very side but he was telling me he's looking to hire more people he's been raising wages and that's just one small store in a small retail operation in my neck of the woods, so rachel's right about that. that's something that goes under reported here but there's this pay it forward argument with all of this relief that it's not just the big companies and remember guys this is all happening pre-individuals seeing
6:48 am
