bill hemmer is our one lucky guy on "outnumbered". >> got to be ready. wear your kevlar. they come from all angles, right? >> continuing coverage of the state of the union. an awesome day to have you. i just got serious. >> you shall have my back. >> we'll see you at noon. "happening now" starts now. >> jon: we start with a fox news alert on the ceremonial kickoff to president trump's second year in office with his state of the union address just hours away. good morning on this tuesday. i'm jon scott. >> i'm julie banderas. major progress on the cone me and push for bipartisanship among the themes for tonight's speech as the president addresses the congress and the nation live the prime time and set to pitch his immigration plan as the clock ticks down to another government shutdown. we have team fox coverage for you with kevin corke live at the white house. but we start with peter doocy

live on capitol hill. a big day in washington, peter. >> julie, republicans in congress think they've been doing a lot of good things over here. so they hope that part of the state of the union address tonight is a sort of highlight reel before the president's attention shifts to the next big fight, immigration. >> he deserves some credit to be able to drive some of these things through. tax reform, dodd-frank. we might hear him talking about what his plans are with the daca recipients and how to resolve that. we expect a lot of things. >> democrats want the president to touch on an agenda item believed to have a lot of support among their ranks, infrastructure. the senate minority leader chuck schumer writes the president promised a trillion dollar investment in our infrastructure on the campaign trail. since he took the oath of

office congress hasn't heard much about his lan and what we've heard isn't promising. a dozen democrats plan to skip the state of the union and others will wear all black to show solidarity with the me too and time's up movements. kevin mccarthy told us he doesn't want to see anybody's protest of the president get so loud or unruly that it would interrupt tonight's proceedings. >> i would think that would be very disrespectful. i wouldn't support that during a time when president obama was in and i am not supporting it now. our government is better than that. our government is designed to have compromise and have a debate. i don't think tonight is a night to play political games. i think tonight is a night to listen. >> he also said he hopes president trump emulates president reagan and asks anybody that is watching from the dais whether or not they're

better off now than before he was sworn in. >> thank you very much. we have more live team coverage of tonight's state of the union address which the president hopes will strike a bipartisan tone. kevin corke is live at the white house with more from there. hi. >> i was actually just talking to my colleague john roberts who was talking to some of his sources at the white house. they are telling fox news this speech will be bright and optimistic and i found this one really interesting. they are telling us it will be some things you don't expect in tonight's speech. certainly we're looking forward to that. it will have distinct sections. one will be the accomplishments and then the agenda. what can the president point to moving forward? accomplishments he will talk about tax reform, and deregulation and dismantling isis. certainly the appointment of a number of judges at the federal level including neil gorsuch on the supreme court bench.

trade and pulling the u.s. out of the paris accord and trans-pacific partnerships. the agenda is where things get very interesting. it is believed that this is sort of an area where he gets fairly bipartisan which i think might surprise some people. these are issues that both sides of the political spectrum should be able to support. infrastructure, immigration reform, welfare reform, and rebuilding america's military. meanwhile here at the white house of course the president will be rehearsing once again today, even as speech writers make a few last-minute changes. press secretary sarah sanders telling us more about the theme earlier today here on fox news. >> there is no denying that the economy is certainly better under this president than it has been under the previous administration. we're really excited about talking about our successes of the first year. but even more so what we are going to accomplish over the next seven years and how much better -- how much better things are going to be after

eight years of president trump as we've seen just in this first year. >> we have actually heard her make that reference before after eight years. as you can well imagine, more rehearsal today on that speech crafted by miller and kohn and porter and mcmaster. the president wants to make sure he strikes the right tone tonight. we expect excerpts to come our way. when we get some we'll pass them along to you. >> jon: another issue boiling in washington right now despite warnings from the justice department, republicans in the house intelligence committee voted to release a classified memo which accuses the f.b.i. and justice department of misusing their authority in the russia investigation. democrats on the committee say releasing the memo is a political move and will undermine the special counsel robert mueller's investigation. >> let's appreciate the fact that we're talking about the

core way that we keep ourselves safe, why those 17 agencies are important. the sources that give us this information and how we do things. we're in real danger of revealing that. the department of justice said in their letter to us this is dangerously reckless. we can at least take some time to hear them out before we race to a judgment here. >> jon: let's bring in our senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. kind of difficult to talk about all this because we haven't seen the memo. there are 22 members of the house intel committee who saw it. >> i've been critical for them for sitting on this as long as they have. they sat on it during the time the house and senate were voting to expand fisa authorities. the day after president trump signed the expansion of fisa authorities into law they revealed this stuff. what is this stuff? it apparently shows an abuse of

fisa authorities. translated, it shows, we think, none of us have seen it except members of the house. it shows the use of raw intelligence data for political purposes. congress should have known about that before it gave the people who abuse this authority more authority. >> jon: fisa is the foreign intelligence surveillance act. >> guess what this is all about? spying on americans and using that material to embarrass, humiliate or manipulate the americans who were spied on. spying on americans without suspicion and without probable because but because of a telephone number or zip code. >> jon: democrats and others are complaining that if you release this to the public all of our sources and methods are going to get out there. is that true? >> yes and no. the this is a four-page summary of raw intelligence data. raw intelligence data is the information that the spy agencies actually collect.

like a phone call or a text message or a series of these. when the republicans prepared this, it was written by three members of the committee and republican staff members. it became apparent it would be released, the democrats prepared their summary of the same raw intelligence data. surprise, surprise. they come to opposite conclusions. so you have 10 pair of eyes, republican eyes looking at the same data and 10 pair of democratic eyes. the committee votes to release the republican version. i say release the data. white out the names of people who gave you this information. don't release the names of your sources. let the american people decide for themselves who broke the law, who knew about it, and who looked the other way. >> jon: the department of justice has said oh, you can't release this stuff. this is dangerous stuff. >> then it turns out the department of justice at the time it made that statement hadn't seen it. this is where it gets a little dicey.

in response to that revelation that the department of justice hadn't seen it, the director of the f.b.i. sunday afternoon went to the house intelligence committee vault in the bowels of the capitol building and read the four-page memo and looked at the data. what did he do 12 hours later? fired his deputy, andrew mccabe. he must have seen something there. it must have been the last straw with him with respect to mccabe and they've worked together for a long time. >> jon: andrew mccabe has been implicated in the peter strzok, lisa page memos about the group that was getting together to talk about what horrors would befall the nation if donald trump were elected president. >> also implicated to exonerate mrs. clinton on her email scandal. the bottom line. this is the tip -- the beginning of a lot of government misbehavior and we have the right to know about it. >> jon: members of congress who have seen this memo who said there is stuff in there worse than watergate.

>> i hope they aren't exaggerating. if they are they'll have egg on their face. the american public has the right to see it. i wish congress had seen it before it voted to expand domestic spying powers on all of us. >> jon: we'll be watching and see whether the president decides to allow this release. >> if the president allows the release, we will probably see this on monday of next week. >> jon: judge andrew napolitano our chief judicial analyst, thank you. >> two young dreamers in southern california. border patrol agents arrested them for taking part in a human smuggling ring. we're live with all the details straight ahead. the president's first state of the union address just hours away. what the white house is saying about tonight's speech and how lawmakers will react to it. >> the president will deliver his first state of the union address. the theme of the address is building a safe, strong and proud america which is exactly what the president has worked to do. i promise, to have and to hold, from this day forward

till death do us part selectquote can help you keep your promise. with life insurance starting at under $1 a day but you promised dad. come on. selectquote helped jim, 41, keep his promise, by finding him a $500,000 policy for under $26 per month. and found kathy, 37, a $750,000 policy for just $22 per month. since 1985, we've helped millions of families by finding them affordable coverage by impartially shopping highly rated insurers, offering over 70 policies. dad, you're coming, right? you promise? i promise. keep your promise.

>> julie: fox news alert on the push for bipartisanship the president set to make his case in the state of the union address and saying they need to work together. >> president trump: we cover immigration and for many, many years they've been talking immigration and never got anything done. we'll get something done. we hope. it will have to be bipartisan. the republicans really don't have the votes to get it done in any other way. it has to be bipartisan. hopefully the democrats will join us or enough of them will join us so we can do something great for daca and for immigration generally. >> julie: key words bipartisanship. will the speech perhaps change it? steve king. thank you for joining us.

the president will be using this uninterrupted hour to talk about the growing economy, the decline in unemployment, and the booming stock market. the war on terror front victory against isis. what else will the president point out that will help perhaps shape bipartisanship legislation moving forward? >> you've listed a couple really good things i'm interested in hearing from the president on. there were significant dialogue. how you go broader with the bipartisanship. i think he will reach into the immigration issue and try to pitch that as a bipartisan issue. i think he will say some things designed to avoid another effort by the democrats to take our cr hostage on the 8th of february and bring about another shutdown. he'll be talking about the need to secure the border and enforce the rule of law. more enforcement to build a wall and offered up 1.8 million

amnesty as a price he seems to pay to get some of the enforcement that were part of his campaign promises. >> julie: i want to talk more about immigration. he hopes to reach across the aisle on this one. on fox last night joni ernts of iowa said it will be up to congress to decide the number of dreamers that will be led to a path of citizenship as laid out by the president's plan in exchange for a wall. listen to his comment and i want you to react. >> certainly this is a great starting point so what the president has provided is his roadmap. it is up to congress to make those final decisions on where we go. so whether it's the number of dreamers that are included, the 1.8 million that he has proposed, or whether it's a smaller number. those are all things that congress will need to make decisions on. it is a great starting point but there are still a lot of questions that we have with his proposal on immigration and daca.

we'll have to work through that. >> julie: i meant her. as the president points out he needs democrats to get on board. will it change any minds? >> it will be interesting to watch the dynamics in the chamber. it's such an educational thing to see who leads the standing ovation, who sits on their hands, and how that works. but he will try to do that. i don't know that he can patch that together in a response to senator ernts's comments on that we know that president obama's number on daca is 690,000. president trump's number is 1.8 million. the president has asked $25 billion for the wall. the cbo score for amnesty for 1.6 daca recipients is $26 billion. if you look at it dollar for dollar it will cost more to grant amnesty for daca recipients to build the wall. you might as well think the wall is twice the price if it costs our taxpayers to support

the daca recipients in this country. >> julie: a lot of democrats would argue he wants to spend $25 billion for border security and he also wants to end family-based chain migration. they say it's too much money. like you point out under the democrats' plan and under our former president obama, they would have, in fact, spent that money regardless. so let's talk chain migration. that's something highly contested by democrats. is that something that perhaps republicans can meet in the middle on? >> i think we need to go actually more on the chain migration side of this but also remember when we discuss putting an end to chain migration republicans are in support of allowing say immigrants to bring in immediate family. that would be spouse and dependent children. and going beyond that i remember hearing several years ago the immigration committee that the witnesses testified this, that there were only between 7 and 11% of the legal immigration in america that was based on anything that had to do with merit. the rest of it was essentially

out of our control chain migration, visa lottery. i want that upgraded and we need to also end the automatic citizenship and birth tourism for anchor babies. it hasn't been part of this discussion. that could be three quarter of a millions a year every year in this country and eclipses daca and everything else. >> julie: thank you so much. we'll be watching this, of course. >> jon: a sad situation in washington, d.c. over family members of veterans leaving their loved ones ashes at a war memorial. why a new ban is sparking outrage. plus president trump gearing up for his first state of the union address. what's at stake for the president? why his advisors say this is one speech you don't want to miss. >> i don't want to get ahead of what the president will say during his remarks but it will be must-watch tv. my experience with usaa has been excellent.

they always refer to me as master sergeant. they really appreciate the military family, and it really shows. we've got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. had an accident with a vehicle, i actually called usaa before we called the police. usaa was there hands-on very quick very prompt. i feel like we're being handled as people that actually have a genuine need. we're the webber family and we are usaa members for life. usaa, get your insurance quote today. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave.

and at our factory in boston, 1,200 workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we're bringing you america's number one shave at lower prices every day. putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. as one of those workers, i'm proud to bring you gillette quality for less, because nobody can beat the men and women of gillette. gillette - the best a man can get. yes or no? do you want the same tools and seamless experience across web and tablet? do you want $4.95 commissions for stocks, $0.50 options contracts? $1.50 futures contracts? what about a dedicated service team of trading specialists? did you say yes? good, then it's time for power e*trade. the platform, price and service that gives you the edge you need. looks like we have a couple seconds left. let's do some card twirling twirling cards e*trade. the original place to invest online.

>> jon: family members of vietnam veterans have been leaving the ashes of their loved ones alongside the vietnam memorial wall for decades. now officials want them to stop. a spokesperson for the national mall says they aren't equipped to handle long-term storage of human remains but families of veterans say they should be allowed to fulfill the wishes of their loved ones. >> i hope they're able to find a mutual resolution that everyone can come to because these are the people that sacrificed, many of them did not choose to go that way to sacrifice. they were called, they were told, they went and did their job. some lost their lives. >> jon: the ashes of at least 70 vets have been left at the wall since the memorial was

erected, including five in 2017. >> julie: we are hours away from tonight's state of the union, a must-see prime time hour. lots of anticipation over the topics the president plans to cover while republicans count a booming u.s. economy and hope president trump will drive that point home for the party. >> they want to know we're going to come forward with an infrastructure package and want to know we'll work on immigration. jobs and the economy, the wonderful tax cuts and jobs act that we just passed last month is providing wonderful opportunity across the united states. those are the things that the american people are really interested in and they want us to work on. i hope it's a message of optimism. keeping america safe, keeping it strong and, of course, making us all proud to be americans. i think that's what i hope to hear from the president and that's what i truly expect. >> julie: a former legislative

and policy director to senator charles schumer and alexandra, i'll start with you. you say president trump will be giving democrats every reason to come to the table tonight. what do you mean by that? >> he sure is. if you look at anything from the immigration proposal that he is going to talk about in his speech tonight to infrastructure, 1 1/2 billion dollar plan he will be talking about. these are giving democrats every reason to come to the table. and you know what? they really should. 2018 is a big year for them. after the legislative temper tantrum they threw with the government shutdown they need to show their constituents they are good for more than just going the washington and saying no to donald trump. several key senators sitting in the audience tonight that president trump won. some by double digits. they really ought to show some enthusiasm for coming to the table and working in a

bipartisan way with this president and the republican congress. >> julie: what do you believe is the state of our union and what is president trump's biggest challenge tonight? >> the state of our union is divided. the most divided country i can remember in my lifetime. it's a polarizing president. he has chosen to be polarizing. there is a lot of hope for the state of the union. what he is trying to do is to bring this nation together and be less polarizing and try to heal the divisions in this country it would go a long way towards things like immigration and infrastructure. right now i think he is more interested in dividing than uniting. we'll see what he does in the state of the union. my hopes aren't as high as others on this because division is what got him the presidency and it seems that's is the way he operates. >> julie: with regard to uniting the president wants to unite the two parties. he made it very clear. he wants bipartisan legislation to move forward.

with regard to spending on february 8th, the government's funding runs out for the fifth time since last october due to the democrats pushing forward and being reluctant on meeting in the middle. in other words, not being united. how will tonight's speech address the showdown with the senate democrats? >> i totally agree that the president came to washington in 2016 elections as someone who would be a change agent. what the american people were saying in the 2016 elections is that we're tired of both parties. we're tired of the way they both work or not work in washington and want to see some action. and i think that coming up with the government spending, democrats i think have made a major unforced error in the government shutdown that they did a couple weeks ago. that really showed the american people they aren't here to work for them. so they really have every reason in the world to work with this president because i think that what americans will think of the mid-term elections they're tired of these antics.

>> julie: no way democrats can argue we don't have a strong economy and unemployment is down and stock market is soaring. what will be the democratic response? >> the economy is doing well. it has been doing well for a long time but it has a had a good year. stock market is up. the country at peace. you would think the president would be popular. the president is incredibly unpopular. people are rejecting the way basically that he is behaving. the state of the union is an opportunity for him to press a reset button. i don't think the white house understands that they have a problem but they do have a problem. if things are going this well and he is doing this poorly, they need to make a change. his state of the union should try to bring the nation together and show that he has learned over the past year and he is a different person and president. >> jon: still ahead two people who have enjoyed the protections afforded by daca arrested for human smuggling

near the u.s./mexican border. how their cases could complicate the debate over the dreamers. plus the state of the economy will be front and center at the state of the union address tonight. why republicans say the president has every reason to be proud of his first year in office. >> there is no denying the economy is certainly better under this president than under the previous administration.

>> jon: driver admitted to being in the area to perform scouting duties for a smuggling crew. >> julie: the u.s. border patrol arresting two young men in southern california both with daca status here in the states. both accused of human smuggling. jonathan hunt is live in los angeles with more on this story. hi, jonathan. >> there are two separate cases here. one east of san diego close to the border, one north of san diego along the coast. in the first case in the border area east of san diego near pine valley, border patrol

agents arrested two illegal aliens and in the process noticed two suspicious vehicles. they pulled over one of the vehicles and the 22-year-old driver admitted he was working as a scout for a human smuggling crew working with another driver to relay information about border patrol movements. agents also discovered that this was far from the first time the man had successfully participated in human smuggling operations. >> under daca this being involved in a human smuggling event is a violation and they will be be held and removal proceedings in dhs custody and removed from the country. >> in the second case on the california coast about 30 miles north of the border the arrests were the result of a tip from a citizen who saw a smuggling operation near torrey pines state beach. agents moved in on a vehicle to conduct an immigration check. they found three men inside. among them the driver who was a

20-year-old daca recipient. immigration attorneys argue these are isolated cases. >> daca recipients are usually 99% of the cases the ideal immigrants. so it's not that these events are impossible. it's that they don't make sense as presented and it seems more inflammatory than it needs to be. >> it is only fair to point out, julie, these are indeed just two daca-related arrests amid some 700,000 daca recipients in the country. they're worth noting coming as president trump prepares for his state of the union that will no doubt have a lot to say about immigration and potential paths to citizenship. >> julie: jonathan hunt in los angeles, thank you. >> jon: president trump set to tout a strong economy and the tax cuts in tonight's first state of the union address. he might also unveil his

immigration and infrastructure plans. >> the president will talk about a number of things tonight. certainly the economy will be front and center. we've had a historic year. record-breaking moments throughout the year in large part due to the president's leadership on deregulation and a huge end of the year tax cut. >> jon: rob portman joins me from capitol hill. you're kind of a number cruncher by nature. what do you think of this economy that we're in right now and how much of the credit goes to this president? >> jon, it's exciting and what all of us have been hoping for. not just the increase in the stock market which helps 401k plans and to not just the increase in economic growth. projections next year going over 2 1/2% and not just the

jobs. job numbers have been good. the most exciting news is we see wages beginning to go up. this is something we haven't seen in a couple of decades. if you look at it from an inflation-adjusted basis wages have been flat and expenses have gone up dramatically. it is what we were hoping for. a combination of getting rid of regulations and fixing a broken tax system that encouraged jobs and investments going overseas is beginning to make a big difference across the country for workers. >> jon: john roberts has had some inklings of what is coming tonight to expect a bright and optimistic speech and also says the president is going to slip in some things that people do not expect. i suppose you are one of those who might be surprised. any idea what the president might be hinting at there? >> talking about the economy is important. the next step in the economy in

my view and i hope he cares about is workforce. right now we're seeing across the country many employers ready to add more people, encouraging more investment through the tax cut is one thing but you have to have the workforce to be able to have the expansion we all want. i hope he will talk about that making sure workers have the skills needed for 21st century job in i.t. healthcare, manufacturing. we have big gaps in all those areas and the opioid crisis. he has a passion for this. we need to figure out ways to deal with this issue. in my state of ohio we had overdoses increase last year. we don't see it getting better around the country but getting worse and families are broken apart. communities devastated. , increase in crime and impact on the economy. many employers who are having a tough time getting people to pass drug tests. part of it is because of the opioid epidemic that gripped our country. i hope he will talk about that

as well. >> jon: the new senate report on the amount of illegal opioidss seized in international mail deliveries to the u.s. raised a lot of eyebrows at the postal service kind of unknowingly smuggling drugs. what are we supposed to do about that? >> you're right. we studied it for a year. subcommittee i chair. i had a hearing and we did a report last week that was shocking. it showed this fentanyl are the synthetic opioids are being produced in china primarily and shipped through our own u.s. mail system right into our communities. we have to stop this poison from coming into our communities. we know the post office could do better to provide law enforcement information they need to identify and stop these packages. our legislation called the stop act is something the president's commission supported. we have to get it done. it's one of the things that can be done and should be done right away to begin to keep some of this deadly drug out of

our communities. >> jon: is anyone at the post office fighting that idea? >> i met with the post master general yesterday on that topic. they're concerned about us putting this in place. they say they don't have the resources. they need more time. this is an urgent matter. back in 2002 congress directed the post office to study this issue and gave them the authorization to do it. we required the private carriers to do it. all we're saying is give law enforcement the information they need about the packages. where they're from, what's in it, where it is going and they can identify these packages. law enforcement wants it, communities in ohio want it, we need to get it done. >> jon: senator rob portman republican of ohio we wish you well in that pursuit. >> julie: a bombshell report charging the u.s. military with censoring information on afghanistan concealing how much territory the taliban actually controls and how the pentagon

is responding. plus uber calls it horrifying after one of its drivers is accused of raping four college students. what we just learned about the suspects. >> it boils your blood. these events have scared and worried people. hello, i'm an idaho potato farmer.

you've probably seen me running all over the country in search of our big idaho potato truck. but not any more. i am done with that. ooh, ooh hot - just gonna stay home on the farm, eat a beautiful idaho potato, and watch tv with my dog... tv anncr: the big idaho potato truck pulled into town today and it's really a sight to see. oh man...let's go.... (distant) you comin', boy? sfx: (dog) gulp! woof. we danced in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen.man. when i first got on ancestry i was really surprised that i wasn't finding all of these germans in my tree.

i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. the big surprise was we're not german at all. 52% of my dna comes from scotland and ireland. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com. >> julie: court action for an uber driver accused of raping four college students in california. nunes pled not guilty. the 38-year-old is an undocumented immigrant. bail set at $1.4 million. uber has issued a statement calling the case horrifying and says it's working with law enforcement. >> jon: new information now, the pentagon denies reports it censors data an afghanistan. a federal watchdog said it was

told to withhold information from the public on how much territory the taliban controls. as president trump rejects the idea of negotiating with the taliban after a wave of deadly attacks in kabul. >> president trump: when we see what they're doing and the atrocities they're committing and killing their own people and those people are women and children, many, many women and children that are totally innocent, it is horrible. so there is no talking to the taliban. we don't want to talk to the taliban. we'll finish what we have to finish and what nobody able has been able to finish we'll be able to do it. >> jon: michael singh is a former senior director from the national security council and managing director of the washington institute. the pentagon says, michael, that this classification error was a mistake and maybe i can put on screen now part of the memo that they released. they say in the most recent reports, the special inspector general for afghan

reconstruction, indicated that resolute support restricted the public release of unclassified district population and land area control data that had been provided previously. it was not the intent of resolute support to withhold or classify information which was available in prior reports. a human error in labeling occurred. classification system because it incorporates a nato and u.s. nomenclature can be challenging. the data is not classified and no intent to withhold it unnecessarily. the argument began or the controversy began because all of a sudden nato was not -- the u.s. and nato were not releasing the amount of land that the taliban controlled or estimates. do we chalk it up to human error? >> i think it's fair to take the pentagon's statement as face value. this issue dates back to october for the last report. where they started to not release information on the

casualties and attrition rates of the afghan security forces. perhaps there was a concern by the inspector general that this sort of move against transparency was increasing. but to be fair to the pentagon they have actually been pretty forthcoming both today and yesterday as well as in the past about this particular metric, about how much land is controlled by the government of afghanistan versus the taliban. >> jon: do the numbers suggest 60% of the territory of afghanistan is outright controlled by the government, about 10% controlled by the taliban, and the other 30, 40% is kind of somewhere in the middle. >> that's right, jon. a whole lot better than in 2009 before the surge of u.s. troops that was directed by president obama. but of great concern is the fact that the government-controlled territory has since been declining since about 2014 as u.s. troops have been pulled out of afghanistan.

now obviously president trump announced a new afghanistan strategy in august. the u.s. troops he decided to add to that fight arrived as of november. i think the jury is out whether the new u.s. strategy will be able to reverse any of that decline. >> it's more of a gloves-off strategy. less restrictions on the use of air power especially. too early to give your assessment? >> it is a bit of a gloves-off strategy bearing in mind that the u.s. troop levels still are quite low. still only 15,000 versus the 100,000 we had there eight for nine years ago and there are other key elements to the strategy as well. trying to integrate the diplomatic and economic elements together with the military elements is quite important from my point of view. a different approach toward pakistan which we've seen from the trump administration. these are all just as important, if not more so than the military element. yes, they do take time to have any effect and so i would say it is too soon to really render

a judgment. that said, jon, the american public has really soured on afghanistan and soured on this conflict in recent years. so the trump administration doesn't have an unlimited amount of time to show results. >> jon: it is america's longest war and it grows longer by the day. michael, thank you. >> julie: so the state department says it will not impose new sanctions on russia. why officials now say they're not necessary. plus a 7-year-old taken away from school in handcuffs. officials say his behavior forced the drastic move but his parents say they went too far. >> he is a danger to society. >> 7 years old a danger to society? hpaste that helps prevent bleeding gums. if you spit blood when you brush or floss you may have gum problems and could be on the journey to much worse. help stop the journey of gum disease. try parodontax toothpaste.
