the memo reportedly outlines allegations that the fbi used controversial steel dossier to obtain surveillance warrant against then trump campaign adviser carter page. could reveal sources and harm investigations, but several republican law makers have called for release and will show that robert mueller's investigation into the president is politically motivated. >> this memo is nothing but a -- the dye -- documents and there's nothing in the memo that the department is not already aware of. this memo answers what i think are really legitimate questions. >> having read this memo, i think it would be appropriate that the public has full view of it. >> and you don't believe is the president tampering with the investigation, how does it look

like? >> it has nothing to do with the president right now. >> in fact, president trump wants to memo released. >> we don't know what's in the memo. it's classified. i haven't seen it but i think the president generally sides on the sides of transparency. yes, i think he believes that should be put out. >> senator lindsey graham a republican said, he prefers an outside counsel review the memo rather than declassify contents. will today be the day, we are waiting. heather: everyone at home let us know what you think. thank you very much, todd, appreciate it. >> no problem. heather: fbi is refusing to turn over additional text messages related to two antitrump employees, the messages don't belong to either peter strzok or lisa page, instead they belong to the fbi's number two deputy director andrew mccabe who was believed to be mentioned in one of the released texts.

>> sessions were serious about this. he ought to be very serious about it is he'd recognized this isn't just the tip of the iceberg, we knew that there were messages to be had. we sued back for the text messages for the number two. >> andrew mccabe. >> andrew mccabe. not one text message was turned over. they lost andrew mccabe's messages, i don't believe it. heather: what is going on in the department of justice may be obstruction of justice. updates, fox news alert for, four people shot dead in what could be a jealous rage, 28-year-old timothy smith accused of killing two women and two men at rampage at a pennsylvania car wash. the police say he used semiautomatic rifle and he was wearing body-armor carrier, the police not releasing motive but the shooter to be obsessed one victim who he dated.

economic progress, i should say while pledging to work with democrats. some of the left are refuse to go even show up. griff jenkins live from washington, d.c. with the very latest, so big night. >> that's right, good morning, heather, big week here in washington, the president spent the weekend here at the white house working on the state of the union address, theme, safe, proud america in the headline according to white house officials will be the economy, we got preview from the white house legislative director marc short. >> he will talk about growing economy, america is open for business and the president is also going to make appeal to democrats to make an appeal to say we need to rebuild our country and make an appeal that to do infrastructure we need to do in bipartisan way. >> in addition to jobs, economy and infrastructure, the president will address immigration, trade and national security, we were told the president is aimed at unifying

speech that will be beyond his base and topic of immigration, white house released immigration plan today which offers path to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers. maxine watters giving state of address on bet and congress meeks on why he's speaking. >> i cannot give this man who does not respect the respect to be in the audience. i will not be there. at every opportunity he has disrespected me and individuals who look like me. i cannot respect him. >> and one supreme court ruth bader ginsburg will be absent as well but that's due to previously scheduled event. it'll be interesting to watch, heather, i think everyone in the country will there be a moment where he really surprises, get your popcorn, we will find out. heather: maybe he will.

griff, appreciate it. former speaker of the house newt gringrich, he knows firsthand what it's likes -- like to face fierce opposition. tomorrow's address will come to a president who promises to and succeeding in draining the swamp. >> well, i think the different parts of the swamp are getting drained at different rate, clearly the deregulation president, the number of pages exceed everything that reagan did in 8 solid years, amaze ago chiefment and big effect on the economy. he clearly has moved on judges, he has had to say more appeals court judges than any president in the first year going back to 1891. very high marks there. the tax cut moves power out of

washington in a huge way, so i would probably 65 or 70% achievement rate in a very, very tough business. remember, the city is trying to stop him every morning and he continues to plow forward. heather: and president trump's approval rating it continues to rise as well. the latest fox news poll, take a look, 45% of voters approving of the president's job performance. that's a huge bump up, 7 points since october. we will see if that continues to rise after the state of the union address. well, the time now is 10 minutes after the top of the hour. turning a blind eye how one state is helping protecting illegal immigrants by hiding them from ice. we are about to find out whether the obama administration worked the system to target president trump's campaign when the bombshell fisa memo is released. our next guest was at the center of the irs targeting scandal and said that no one should be surprised by what we are about to find out.

>> he had a long time fear of being poisoned. heather: that's just the tip of the iceberg, the political punches aimed directly at president trump

heather: welcome back to "fox & friends first". washington state issuing new rule to help protect illegal immigrants. drivers will no longer have to provide birthplace when applying for license, this move coming weeks after the seattle times reported that the department of licensing was handing over personal information to ice that could be used to arrest and deport illegal immigrants. but now ice has a new tool that they say can -- that they can

use to help track down illegal immigration. they've gained access to a nationwide licensing database containing billions of records. this will allow agents to track people via the car movements over the past five years. the data is collected from cameras on police cars, bridges and toll booths, we will see how that works out. the white house is now calling for the release of the controversial fisa memo as republicans call for another special counsel to investigate the claims of corruption inside. >> once the memo is released, i think that there's going to be calls for a special counsel to sessions from all the committee chairman who are involved in it and i think it's going to be hard for sessions not to do that. heather: joining me now is tea party chairman ceo, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you so much for having me, heather. heather: tell like this?

>> yeah, when i heard members of congress soy -- say they are shocked when read fisa memo and kgb tactics, i thought this is exactly felt how the irs was targeting tea party patriots in their name and asking for the contents of people's prayers, books that they've read, who they have spoken to, who spoke at events an the list goes on and on and on, that's the kind of thing we came to expect from the obama administration whether it was from the fast and furious scandal, the irs targeting that happened to groups like mine, the congressional exemption from obamacare, granting the country illegally. that administration was lawless and they had a flagrant disregard for rule of law. heather: not transparent and that's one of the issues that the trump administration is saying that this memo should be

released because of being transparent. >> right, exactly, when the targeting was happening to us, nobody believed it was happening until lotus learner admitted it and we began to get facts about what was happening. we need to see the memo, we paid for it. we deserve to see it so we can judge for ourselves exactly what happened. that requires transparency and then we need to hold the people accountable of what we think the memo actually becomes to be accurate and true. heather: house intel committee put this together, democrats want to release their own memo if, in fact, this is release, what do you think about democrats doing that? >> go ahead and release your own memo and we still, again, the american taxpayers need to see what has happened exactly what are the facts in this case, it appears from what we are hearing that what we are going to see from the memo is that the clinton campaign paid for

opposition research which then paid for a former british intelligence officer christopher steel who then paid russian operatives to give him information and use that information to get a fisa warrant to spy on the trump campaign. it was politically motivated then. we need to see if that is actually what happened and if it is, we need to get to the bottom of it and hold those accountable who committed the offenses. heather: what about the fbi that they be allowed to see the memo so they can make sure that there's nothing that interferes with national security? >> well, of course, we don't want to do anything that would interfere with national security but i can't imagine that the members of congress would want to do anything that would put our nation security at risk either. i think it is completely ironic that the fbi who delayed and delayed and stalled and stalled giving congress what they'd asked for repeatedly now wants to see exactly what's in the

memo and -- and what it's about. it sounds like they just don't want the truth to come out. they don't want light shine on their organization and we need to see what happened and how corrupt the fbi actually was during the obama administration. heather: either corrupt or not release the memo and let us make up our own mind. jenny beth martin, we will have you back when we find out about the memo. >> thank you so much, heather. heather: new violence overnight after weekend wave of terror in afghanistan. the message that the taliban is now sending directly to president trump as our military pounds the region. ♪ >> reweb that this country was built by dreamers. >> he had a long-time fear of being poisoned. heather: did you see this last night in biggest stars in music using using

part, i recall during obama administration there were several books that were deemed false and not true and a bunch of rumors, can you imagine if they did that to him? >> of course, that would never happen. this is one of the biggest moments -- the biggest moments to have grammies and one of the most popular book right now if they we wanted to create some shock value during grammy awards they certainly did especially with hillary clinton, nobody expected to be part of the show. heather: why don't people talk about performances the next day. thank you very much, carley. carley: thanks so much. heather: we want to know what you think, what did you think of the politically-charged grammy's this year, we will try to read only of those later in the show. the time now 26 minutes after the top of the hour. the video terrifying, a little girl dragged into a car watch this abducted in broad daylight

attack renews our resolve of afghan partners, the taliban's cruelty will not prevail, the united states is committed to a secure afghanistan that is free from terrorists who would target americans, our allies and anyone who does not share their wicked ideology, now all countries should take decisive action against the taliban and the terrorist infrastructure that supports them. the latest attack, by the way, heather, shows escalation attack on capital of afghanistan and the afghan people are wondering if their security forces can protect them. heather: and we certainly should not forget of our troops in afghanistan and all over the world. thank you so much for joining us, kelly, appreciate it. well, the trump administration is pushing iran to permanently release iranian-american prisoner, 81-year-old is on temporary release from iranian prison after being discharged from a hospital for some serious heart problems.

a retired un official held prisoner since 2016 for iran calls for cooperating enemies, his son held prisoner since 2015, they are serving 10-year sentences. president netanyahu praising and will open the door for peace in the region. >> president trump made history by recognizing history. he did great service for peace because peace can only be based on truth, on reality and denying the simple fact that israel's capital is jerusalem is -- pushes peace backward by creating an illusion, you can't build peace on fantasy. heather: embassy is expected to be moved by the end of 2019. the president expect today use his first state of the union

address to declare that america is back and he will use the power of the pulpit to lay out his agenda for 2018, so what message does he need to send, joining me now debate republican strategists chris and liberal analyst kathy, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. heather: before we begin, let's take a look at the pillars of the state of the union as we expect them, jobs, economy, infrastructure, trade and national security. the president expect today hit on all five of the pill arson, chris, i will start with you, what do you think is the most important thing for him to get across to americans? >> i will says a, 1b, working together, national security will be the two things, it's important to bring america together as a nation, of course, and national security at the same time. we certainly are in a very politically divided nation and it's time that everyone gets on

the same track and is focused on moving the agenda forward and not focusing on political issues, it's time to bring america together and, of course, national security which was immensely important no matter on either side of the political aisle, strong borders. heather: i think a message bringing people together would be imperative, kathy, what do you think? >> most use state of the union address to launch new programs. i think he will use it to build confidence, probably act presidential and he needs to reset his agenda. so we will probably hear a lot about dreamers, immigration and probably brag about three things, the economy, the economy, the economy. heather: that's a valid point because the economy is doing great, stock markets with massive gains, the dow was up 223 points on friday. you take a look at the numbers as the

bell opens today. that's a legitimate point, right, chris, to talk about the economy and how it's impacted everyone, all facets of society? >> absolutely, it's a very valid point and the truth of the matter is the economy is doing very well, just i believe today southwest airlines just announced that more enhanced because of tax reform. this has affected everyone no matter who you are big or small and starting february you'll be able to see it on your checks directly reflecting. this is something that he certainly can talk about, this is something that has encouraged numerous organizations and companies across america to put more moneys in the hands of the people. that's what this is about and he's done a phenomenal job, great concept and executed very, very well. heather: regardless of what nancy pelosi have to say, a thousand dollars in somebody's pocket does make a difference. maxine watters among others plan

to respond on bet. >> one of the mideast fiery opponents, it'll be fascinating what she says and approval is all-time low. maxine has momentum going into this and many people will tune in to bet and see unconventional response to union address. heather: we had a fox news poll that we talked about this morning that numbers are up 7% since october, full 45%, the highest number so far think that he's doing a great job, chris, you get a final word here. >> the rhetoric that people are tired of. the fact that she's doing this to appeal the base, obviously benefit the dnc, this is ridiculous, i mean, she should be -- if we want to talk about bringing america together, she should be supporting america

first agenda, not going on bet, she should be there at the union discussing how we bring america today. this is time to bring america together and not bring it apart. all these members of congress who are protesting and opposing, they are only doing it for their base and own agenda. this is not personal agenda, this is about bringing america together and that's what president trump is doing. heather: you have opposing sides and opposing viewpoints but you listen to each other and perhaps -- >> that's right. heather: should lead by example and at least sit there and listen. chris and kathy, thank you very much for joining us this morning, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. heather: well, schools across the country are shutting down as the deadly flu outbreak reaches epidemic proportions, dr. nicole saphier breaking down the early warning signs that everyone needs to know. >> we don't need that type of rhetoric on either side from nancy, paul ryan or anybody

heather: welcome back, the flu outbreak, take a look at this now shaking the nation as schools in 12 states have keeping their doors closed to prevent further spread of the deadly virus, so what do parents need to know to protect their children and when should they keep their kids home from school, valid question, with me now dr. nicole saphier. >> thanks very if me. i had a friend who died from flu at the beginning of the month in ohio. this is affecting people who are healthy and comes on very, very fast. >> yes, so this is absolutely one of the worst flu seasons on

record, however, it's definitely not the worst if you go back to the spanish flu in 1918, significantly worst but does remind us of that and strategy that is can come from the flu, you can't write off the flu being just the flu and as you said comes off really fast, particular strain h3n2, people people mistaken them for a bad cold and they get better and go back to work and all of a sudden they are really sick and you're seeing people die, that's a super infection which means your immune is down because it's been fighting the flu, all of a sudden a bacterial infection gets over and gets in the lungs. heather: that's exactly what happened to my friend. she didn't know it was that bad from over the counter medicine and then like 38 hours later. >> they can treat themselves but need to know warning signs and when to seek medical attention.

heather: when should child stay home? >> i'm a mother of three, most children, most adults can stay home. children that are most -- most concerned about are less than 5 year's old and can affect any child at this point, what you look for, think about a cold but exaggerated, so high fevers, chills, shakes, you want to go see a doctor if you can't control the fever, if you can't keep foods and liquids down. heather: very tired, i understand. >> they are just not normal. it's not just they are sick and want to watch for tv, if they don't seem right to you, better safe than sorry, go see the doctor. heather: it's very scary for participants. thank you so much dr. sapphire, good tips. let's go to adam to talk about first-degree weather this morning. >> i've had a little bit of cold. doctor, don't go anywhere, i

will talk to you right after this. that's a cold front and right along the frontal boundary we will continue to see heavy rain for the next several hours, early monday morning if you live in southeast coast, that's where the heavy rain will continue to fall. otherwise across the country mostly clear conditions but in the next couple of hours, this is another trouble area, extreme northwest areas of rounds and rounds of showers, heather this is another spot we are paying close attention to because we have a lot more rain on the way. heather: adam klotz with us. thank you. liberal college going back to the future to pounce on the president's state of the union address. >> what was your reaction on everything that was said? >> i didn't watch it because i couldn't bring myself to watch it. >> racist. heather: one problem, the speech

is tomorrow. the man behind political experiment joins us live.

heather: welcome back, president trump set to give his first state of the union address tomorrow night so why are some nyu students slamming speech that hasn't even happened, listen. >> they thought his immigration stance that he outlined last night was specially hateful. >> very offensive. >> what did you think of that. >> something that i wouldn't expect him to happen in lifetime. >> a campaign event. >> yeah, that's kind of ridiculous. >> the fact that he started a chant. >> i think it reveal that is he

has the temperament of a 3-year-old. heather: wow. well, is the left determined to oppose president trump no matter what? here campus reform.com philip. they're responding to a speech that hasn't happened yesterday, were you surprised? >> i was not surprised. so many conservatives accusing the left for shutting down president trump simply because he's conservative and before he's donald trump before listening to what he has to say and for people that pride themselves on being so open-minded and tolerant, it was disappointing but not surprising to see that they made up mind based on rhetoric and preconceived ideas about donald trump and the republican party but not actually on facts. heather: speaking of rhetoric, you could hear from some of the sound people seemed to be repeating the rhetoric that they hear other people say. >> often times the other people are professors, specifically on college campuses as we covered

in classrooms there's one ideology taught and that's a liberal one and students are raised to believe that they are only allowed to be a liberal. anyone on the right is racist, not carrying about poor people, all those things, it does add up to where college students have negative perception toward they hate it blindly without knowing what is politician or principles. heather: time of life when you are supposed to be getting both sides to form own opinion and i was thinking about last night when we were watching grammy awards as well. they are getting it from professors and hollywood. >> students feel that if they do anything that is remotely, you know, positive towards conservativism they will shut off and anywhere in society you should have disagreement and we

could laugh at this, millennials, people my age, 18 to 29-year-olds, largest voting block to america, for years to come we will be heading to the polls, people in the age group with work perception on what actual policies are about and the democrat party as well. heather: last night reading ream fury and people getting a distorted view on what's true and what's not. and hillary clinton making an appearance reading the book and getting a huge cheer from the crowd and shows how people are out of teach, liberal society and i think many conservatives are saying, good, hillary, stay around as long as possible because you lost and you are bringing the losing mentality, stick around because it's a losing message that you have and people don't trust you. heather: the state of the union is tomorrow night and we will have you back to see what people said on the real speech, cabot,
