2:00 pm
>> we start with reaction at this hour to the release of a bombshell new house intelligence committee memo as a president has weighed in. it alleges seal officials of the fbi may have used certain powers. specifically says targeting the trump campaign. this morning the president suggested that has far-reaching implications. he tweeted this quote - this memo totally vindicates trump the russian witchhunt goes on and on. there was no conclusion and no obstruction. after when you're looking and finding nothing, collusion is dead. this is an american disgrace he
2:01 pm
says. but democrats say, the memo is misleading. it is slanted. and then they have their own rebuttal, 10 pages that they say is ready for the public to see. but will we see that one? welcome to grand our of "americas news headquarters". >> republicans releasing the memo despite protests from democrats and the intelligence committee. but republican congressman, jim jordan saying, this is revealing real abuse. he is calling for a new investigation to get to the bottom of all of this. plus the congressman believes that there are grounds to consider on a criminal probe for former british spy behind the dossier. was i think there are grounds for a second special counsel because i'm not a big fan of special counsel but i see no other remedy. that is like six knots ago several called for a second special counsel then. i think now more than ever it is certainly warranted.
2:02 pm
>> molly is joining us live from washington with more. >> hello! good afternoon. the president says the memo vindicates him. the top democrats on the house intelligence committee disagrees. adam schiff tweeted today quote - quite the opposite at mr. president. the most important fact disclosed and is otherwise shoddy memos fbi investigation began to live 2016 with your advisor, george papadopoulos. he was secretly discussing stolen cleansing emails with the russians. now in this specific investigation, phase 1 according to republican congressman devin nunes, chairman of the house intelligence committee, members of congress looked into how and why the secret fisa court approved the warrant along the fbi to spy on a former trump advisor. >> the fbi open a counterintelligence investigation into the trump campaign in the summer of 2016. that is what happened. and then, they got a warrant on
2:03 pm
someone in the trump campaign using opposition research paid for by the democratic party and the hillary clinton campaign. that is what this is about. and it is wrong, it should never be done. >> testimonies quarter page. the memo says that the fisa court give the okay to the fbi to spy on him. based in large part on material collected by the former british spy, christopher steel. and he was paid $160,000 by the democratic national committee and the hillary clinton campaign. a law firm and research firm to dig up dirt on ties to recommend that said neither the initial application for us -- nor any renewals disclose or reference the role of the dnc, cleansing campaign or any party
2:04 pm
campaign and finding the efforts. even though the political origins of the steele dossier were then noticing an doj and fbi officials. house minority leader nancy pelosi has called the memo a quote - desperate attempt to distract the american people from the truth about the trump and russia scandal. z says the committee is now moving onto phase 2. specifically what the state department did in the rush investigation during the last of the president obama is in term. >> thank you molly. >> and let's go to bill gavin, former assistant director of the fbi in new york it also a long-term veteran of the bureau. just to conclude, we just heard nsa high level fbi officials hated donald trump and they took information paid for by democrats in the clinton campaign to open a secret investigation that targeted carter page. 60 months later has still not been charged with any wrongdoing or is this a complete appropriate use of background material to
2:05 pm
investigate allegations? >> there are a couple of things eric your number one, i do not know -- however, with that said having read the memo, it is fairly well laid out. the fact that if in fact, some individual prepared a document to take the court that was either through omission or intentionally avoided the facts that give them to the fisa court, those people get anything like that should be held accountable. >> the fact that the dnc paper this and before that, the free beacon. at least steele's investigation. they did say that there was some political connection. >> i think they did some circular work there to make it look like the information came from another source rather than from the dnc opponent survey.
2:06 pm
i think really, it has to be looked at. the bottom line that i see right here is not going to be resolved by arguing back and forth. what needs to be done is so many to look at the supporting documents that went into the drafting of this four-page memo. the memo is a product of the legislative branch of the government. the document is used to generate this memo and a product of the executive branch of government. somebody needs to get together and either declassify the supporting documents. and i've heard a lot today about what mccabe said that never would have gotten a fisa warrant without that particular information, if that information was known. but it is not a quote - any place in the document. we need to go back to the document. >> when you say somebody, who would that be? independent counsel? someone else, perhaps in the bureau? someone in congress? enter the public now see that,
2:07 pm
should we see the fisa application. and you believe, we see all of the material that it was based on? >> if in fact it can be declassified to that point, where the public can look at it, i have great faith in the public. the other thing, somewhere along the line, democrat side will reduce some sort of a document. this is going to give another, i want all of this to come out. >> they already have apparently!have a 10 page rebuttal basically, they say, tearing this narrative apart. i mean you think that we should see that perhaps next week or the week after? >> i actually do. my question is, does have to be through the white house and if the white house looks at this, the devil to give it the same clarity and rapidity of producing it and declassify it that they did with the republican memo? i don't know. >> can the white house say no? we do not want to have the democratic one out?
2:08 pm
>> i suspect if in fact, it cannot be declassified maybe they can. i don't know. >> let's take a look at two of the points. i want to get your reaction as a longtime official of the fbi. this is part of what it says about steele. quote steele city was doctor that donald trump not get elected and was passionate about not being president. there is clear evidence of his highest recorded by bruce war. at the time subsequently and official fbi files. so it is in the files. but not reflected in any of the page fisa application. the application ignored or concealed the antitrust financial and ideological motivations. in your view, would that be necessary was that just a mistake? or a meaningless oversight? >> you know, when you look at these kinds of things, anyone that puts together an affidavit for the application for a fisa warrant, have to go through this piece by piece and know exactly what is in there and know that it is a positive information and the negative
2:09 pm
information. and that is true with every 90 days when i have to go back before the board again. they have to report what they found. not just rehash the original application. have to report what they found or positive or negative. this is shameful if someone knew all of this and did not, tried to deceive. as i look at it as. deceive. shame on them. >> also a part at the end about papadopoulos. apparently this started with papadopoulos. and it says quote - the carter page fisa application also mentioned information regarding the fellow transport campaign advisor papadopoulos. -- papadopoulos information triggered the opening of the fbi and fbi counterintelligence investigation in 2016 by peter strzok.it could be that papadopoulos and the meeting that he had, is the starting
2:10 pm
often a strange diplomat, that appropriate basis for the appearance of logic counterintelligence investigation? or is not to peter strzok and the investigators? on one side, when one thing he is just drunk and that is meaningless? what does it take for someone to say, there may be something? >> if any one individual made that decision eric, i would be extremely surprised. restricts me right now is the fact that every man and woman in the fbi, 99.9 percent of them carry around with them, a badge that is just as shiny as the better they had when they started their job. there is only a handful of people whose badges are not tarnished. and they ought to be put out of the fbi now. >> that is a wonderful point i would like you to make again because as you say, the overwhelming vast majority have taken a sworn duty to protect our nation. they protect us, they risk
2:11 pm
lives for us. investigations, mobs, terrorism investigations, they are away from their families abroad, so those who say that this harms the full reputation of the bureau, versus what could be a problem with a few. >> si. 99.9 percent, every day uphold the constitution of the united states which they swore they would uphold. and absolutely, adhere to the model with the fbi, fidelity, bravery and fidelity. there are only a few did not. finally, your personal feelings. you are retired now. but when you see this, in your gut and your heart, how does this make you feel?>> i get fired up over it. i think that if in fact, it is the way it appears to be in terms of the wrong done on the building, then you need to be getting it out to all that can
2:12 pm
see it and do something to ensure that it does not happen again. and keep that badge the way it should be for all fbi employees. anybody would do something this is allegedly done and i do not want to convict anybody right now. but if anyone has done something wrong, you need to be held accountable for it. amen. >> sunlight is the best disinfectant they say. thank you for your insight and your deep-seated passing on this as well as your service to our country. thank you. >> thank you, my pleasure. >> former secretary of defense, leon panetta. so you know he is talking about. he will join chris wallace tomorrow to discuss all of the fallout from the release of this republican memo. you can watch the interview on "fox news sunday". which is right here on the fox news channel tomorrow. you can also check local listings or you can just watch us!
2:13 pm
>> meanwhile, as the surveillance memo rocks washington, the clock is also taking on another budget deadline. congress needs to pass a bill funding the government by next week. many republicans are not happy that they will probably have to kick the can down the road and pass another short-term spending bill. and they are blaming the democrats for that. ellison barber is live in washington with details. >> republican congressional leaders are saying is shut down will not happen this week. a long-term budget deal they say, probably will not happen either. at best, it will probably be another short-term deal. >> i think we are making progress on an agreement. even if we get everything figured out tuesday, we still have to have a cr. if only for giving appropriators time to write the bill. >> sources told fox news that right now the republican game plan is for the house to write a short-term bill that funds the government through march
2:14 pm
23. fox news live also told the defense hawks are pushing to bolster defense spending could oppose the next continuing resolution. for democrats, an issue once again is immigration. an protection for immigrants brought to the us illegally as children. republican say that these are separate issues. >> the reason for having these in the first place is that they've been holding this hostage for an unrelated issue. >> if there were number one dreamer in the world, and thank god there are many, we still have a problem. this is about the parity. if you want to increase defense spending, and we are not objecting to that, we have to have an increase on the domestic side. you cannot increase defense and bleed the domestic budget and think that will be a strong as a nation. >> as mike on the government shutdown, democrats and the president children most of the blame according to a poll, 32 percent of voters hold a
2:15 pm
democrats work responsible for 31 percent said president trump. over 80 percent of the shutdown itself was unnecessary. >> ellison barber, thank you. >> new developments in the investigation into the deadly las vegas shooting massacre. criminal charges now filed against an arizona man. we'll have a live report when he is charged with, next. and on friday the dollars and 666 points yesterday. it may not be a sign of satan but it was the sixth largest single day plunge ever! what is causing major market selloff and will it go up on monday? >> the stock market has smashed one record after another. the stock market has reached an all-time high today. i think all time.

"show me politics" and return to the justice system. more on this is go to josh who is joining us now from washington. he is a political editor for national ãthis is a big name. one of the biggest. you think so many, plus he is all reasons to leave congress and go back to south carolina.
2:34 pm
he wants to pursue a legal career back in south carolina but a lot of members leaving are doing it because of politics. many of them represent districts that hillary clinton won in the last election. many are worried about their reelection chances. incumbency is the biggest asset. if you are a member of congress people may say they hate congress but the later individual congressman or congresswoman. what is wearing republicans politically speaking is if they are opening up seats, democrats have a better chance to win open states that there is not a member of congress sitting in washington right now running for reelection. >>, feel they can get reelected. others are claiming that they called a toxic political atmosphere and gridlock and the lack of bipartisanship. >> x-ray. they may have made the decisions a little too soon because in 2017 the political polling looked pretty dismal for republicans. especially in these swing districts but the mood has shifted quite a bit in the last month. these republicans are we looking at political numbers
2:35 pm
and bad polling have seen numbers improved in the last few weeks. i think a lot of decisions were made in 2017. you may see more members decided to stick around. >> now let's look at that. there's a pole, it says if you want to vote for a generic candidate look at the difference. now, it is pretty close. only two points apart, 47 - 45. but too much ago, 15 points apart. it is kind of close but i would people still expecting democratic wave. >> is a huge difference. that suggests they are likely to hold the house. democrats are hoping to get double digit edge on the generic ballot. we see a poll like this survey showing democrats with only two point edge, is worrying about democrats. the real is the economy is improving. republicans are scoring points because of a tax bill they passed. that is improving chances and improving republicans chances to hold the house to request
2:36 pm
even some pretty tough members retiring. and you know for example, - has made her mark in foreign affairs for years. so you have loses in talent on the front lines. >> yes, the big political standpoint, the bid members to watch a folks that faced after election. a seven euros a seat which will be a bellwether. evenly split between republicans and democrats. a seat that republicans need a win. but they're more worried about the chances with someone that has as much experience that is not around anymore. >> and then he has been congress or 23 has been his family goes back politically to the 1850s or 1860s. he has a son in his office i think. his nephew was in my son's class. i cannot believe that you know
2:37 pm
his friend, his uncle is a congressman that they have a 200 years of political experience in this country! but that brings us something else. you know they have families, lump-sum families are under the district. it is a tough job. you have every lobbyist or special interest group that wanted to come by and at the hilton at six or 7 o'clock at night. so you go all the time condemning you go back to the district, you have time, you have to be out there on the weekend. and then sending a full success that you want you to come on the program and at that you have to fly back to washington. >> republicans more than democrats like to have term limits. a lot of the mic to go home and spend less time in washington. but there really is a political calculation as well. republicans control the house, senate, presidency. it is a good time to be in power if you are republican.
2:38 pm
usually see a lot of retirements we do not have tokyo out of democrats in congress and they lost the senate in the last couple of election cycles. it is sort of unusual to see so many leaving when he holds a so much power. >> republicans have really narrowed the gap. we keep hearing how the democrats will take over. how do you think this will play out to the midterms. first will take the house. >> it will be close. the political environment has improved dramatically for republicans. in large part because of the booming economy. and improving popularity of the republican party tax bills or tax cuts. i think that is one, democrats thought that they had the house. in their corner at the beginning of the year. the economy is changing their political calculus. it is much more difficult for democrats to win because the map is so favorable. a lot of the big battleground states are in areas that donald trump won with west dakota,
2:39 pm
indiana. it would take a rest tsunami, a double-digit advantage on the congressional ballot for democrats to take the senate and it doesn't look like it. >> we will see. by the way, -- the vice presidential nominee in 1844 on the whig ticket. henry clay! most people did not know. >> i can sleep much better tonight knowing that! thank you so much! [laughter] my archaeologists are very set on something that was found in the egyptian desert. and you would think that the oldest national park ranger would have some stories to tell. and you would be right! she is still serving at 96! she will join me to share some stories, next. alright, i brought in high protein to help get us moving. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks!
2:40 pm
i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you. but he hasoke up wwork to do.in. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. oh! there's one.a "the sea cow"" manatees in novelty ts? surprising. what's "come at me bro?" it's something you say to a friend. what's not surprising? how much money matt saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. >> a treasure trove of ancient

clerical work and running a very successful record store. here now, is betty. she can now add author to her less. she is a memoir of a client and life. it is an honor to have you here with us today. welcome. >> thank you very much. >> we just mention your abbreviated bio. i want to pick up when you worked in politics in california. which is when you became very involved in planning and developing your current office we will call it. established 18 years ago. would you tell us why your park is such a special place? >> i believe simply because it is developed as in a home mosh to the world war ii homefront story. women were invited out of their homes to join a nontraditional labor in the effort of the war.
2:46 pm
the story is true. it is celebrated by the part where i am involved. it is also incomplete because the story as told from orientation of a woman of color, is quite different in that i think the contribution that i made. >> absolutely. i'm listening to and watching you, as we all are. in awe. it comes to mind as often times people get older and they become frail and fearful but you seem to become more powerful and assertive with age. why is that? >> i think that is true. i think that is true! i think i have come into my own. i was a late bloomer. at the first significant job until i was about 50 years old. i came into the workplace long after my children were grown. but i have, i think, i remain
2:47 pm
contemporary. through all of these years and now, i think because i've outlived all of the people his memories do not agree with mine i have become an historian. it was unexpected. i am also in a period where i am having first experiences still at 96. >> first experiences like what? yes. like this for instance. like all kinds of experiences. like, i do not have any idea. how to say that. >> while you think about that, how about i ask you, i want to talk about the title of your memoir. sign my name to freedom. as we know, titles are not happenstance. why this? >> that is a very important title. it was the name of a song that i wrote in about 1965.
2:48 pm
a young friend, a young white friend from the university of california was taking off to join the summer 64 freedom movement to teaching a freedom school in mississippi. and it was her experience, living in mississippi, teaching in a freedom school. under the sponsorship of -- she was writing letters home to her family. and they shared them with me. i imagined the woman, with whom she was sharing an african-american woman having registered for the first time, to vote. it was that, that recorded was brought to life by the song that i wrote called "sign my name to freedom". >> and that was in your days as a community activist as well. if you could tell me in short order, how would you like to spend your 97th birthday?
2:49 pm
>> that is in the case that i am here?

2:56 pm
players. >> is february minnesota, what do we expect? >> we would not be here. i would not even be in the hall if they played outside in minnesota! >> i asked carter he was disappointed that the vikings were not insuperable. he said they did not play that will. the eagles are tough and we should have a good game tomorrow. >> thank goodness it is not outside! thank you rick! >> i would not be dealing with outside in minnesota this time year either! strong reaction to a controversial nunes memo. as james comey will weigh in, and s. stick around for another hour with eric and me! i'm really into this car, but how do i know if i'm getting a good deal? i tell truecar my zip and which car i want and truecar shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car

so i know if i'm getting a great price. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar. and i recently had hi, ia heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you.

my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

3:00 pm
arthel: a fox news alert, new reaction following the release of a controversial g.o.p. memo crafted by house intelligence committee chairman nunes. the memo alleges the fbi abused its surveillance powers during the 2016 presidential campaign to spy on a trump campaign advisor. hello welcome to brand new hour of inside america's news headquarters. i'm arthel neville. eric: hello everyone. i'm eric shawn. the decision by the white house and chairman nunes to release the declassified memo is drawing fierce reaction from critics and many democrats on capitol hill, but chairman nunes is standing by his move. >> i have an obligation to the american people when we see fisa abuse so these are secret courts
3:01 pm
that exist to target for foreigners for catching terrorists for catching people who might be bad actors and the american citizens that are represented before this court have to be protected and the only place that can protect them is the u.s. congress when abuses do occur. eric: phil keating is live in west palm beach, florida tonight near the president's estate where the commander-in-chief has been spending the weekend. good evening. >> good evening, eric. and the sun is now setting here in palm beach county. the president spent about five hours down the street from his estate at the trump international golf club today before returning to his winter white house where he has now been for the past three hours or so, and since he returned home, no new tweets, at least no new tweets just yet. the presidential motorcade has a straight shot down southern boulevard in palm beach county between his estate and the golf club. and a few dozen trump supporters braved the 70 degree temperature and gray skies, catching a
3:02 pm
glimpse of the vehicles and holding signs like investigate the fbi and we love trump. the fbi sign references friday's controversial memo release by republicans in charge of the house intelligence committee. the president left behind a beltway consumed with that declassified memo, which its g.o.p. authors say shows the fbi and justice department abused their power with surveillance warrants on trump campaign advisors. democrats contend the charged memo is distorted and misleading and will push to release their own committee memo next week. on the way to golf club, trump tweeted this, quote this memo totally vindicates trump, speaking of himself in the third person, but the russian witch hunt goes on and on. there was no collusion and there was no obstruction, the word now used because after one year of looking endlessly and finding nothing, collusion is dead. this is an american disgrace. that was then quickly countered
3:03 pm
by this tweet by the ranking democrat on that house intelligence committee, adam schiff. quote, quite the opposite mr. president, the most important fact disclosed in this otherwise shoddy memo was that fbi investigation began july 2016 with your advisor papadopoulos who was secretly discussing stolen clinton e e-mails with the russians. air force one landed at west palm beach international airport last night before 7:00. traveling this super bowl weekend with first lady melania and son. they are all expected to remain in palm beach for most of the day tomorrow, perhaps watching kick off at mar-a-lago before boarding air force one and heading back to d.c. or perhaps catching most if not all of the game before returning back to washington. after all, it is the super bowl. the president has not yet indicated who he may secretly be rooting for. eric? eric: phil, thank you very much. arthel: i'm guessing the patriots.
3:04 pm
the president's going for the patriots. for more on this now, white house reporter for the associated press. thanks for joining us. the memo is out. but the topic is going to remain a hot-button issue and a political divider. what happens next in d.c., on capitol hill and in the white house? >> you know, despite all of the massive expectations built up around this memo, this release on friday really doesn't change all of that much. you know, robert mueller is still going to be investigating the president. there will still be the president's detractors saying that the fbi should be doing more to investigate the president and the president's supporters saying the fbi is doing too much. it doesn't really change any of the underlying dynamics in washington, except in one critical way. it does provide the president one more piece of ammunition to try to discredit the ongoing russia probe. it's certainly not the end of it by any stretch. but it does give him one more -- sort of arrow in his quiver there. arthel: you are saying regardless of that, the impact on the special counsel mueller's
3:05 pm
russian investigation you feel is not really very significant. what's the talk in d.c. about deputy ag rod rosenstein, mueller's boss? >> certainly on friday when the president was asked about the deputy attorney general, whether he still had confidence in rod rosenstein, the president refused to answer the question. he said you guys go figure it out, but two white house officials came to me just around 4:00, 5:00 yesterday and said no, in fact the president does have confidence. there's no plans to get rid of rosenstein. the president was being kind of playful with the media trying to get a bit of a drive in other news cycle on this front. it's interesting, the president is cognizant of the way he's portrayed in the press. here we are five days after his state of the union address which was really well regarded in the beltway as a successful speech and all we're talking about is the russian memo in part because
3:06 pm
the president wants us to be talking about it as well. arthel: he's very clever when it comes to driving the news cycle. we have christopher wray, fbi director, hand-picked by president trump, he must shore up the bridge between his rank and file and the president of the united states. how heavy is director wray's lifting? >> it's certainly not a job that anyone should really be envious for. you know, if you look at his predecessor, inspired by the president unceremoniously in an unusual process, and he has seen his deputy director andrew mccabe depart under a cloud of -- after being attacked by the president. he's seen his boss and the attorney general and his other boss the deputy attorney general both bear the brunt of president's criticism. he himself has had some of the brunt of the president's criticism. in the president says he has
3:07 pm
respect and confidence in wray, but there have been some disputes on this memo. the fbi put out that statement last week saying they oppose the memo's release that it didn't present the full story. there's tension there. as much as the president does say he respects the rank and file of the fbi, the rank and file does follow on leadership. they look to leadership. they are telling him -- the way they are being treated by the administration -- arthel: and director wray saying stay the course, though, men and women of the fbi. stay the course. >> yeah, and that's a similar thing we have heard that from -- that similar language from jim comey when he was there, others in federal agencies as the president tries to sort of, you know, he's using the attack on the fbi and certainly the political leadership as a tool. it's designed to sort of create -- all of these sorts of investigations -- washington investigations by definition are political and the president is trying to sort of politicize them and their work to protect himself. arthel: the president's supporters would beg to differ and say that the president is not criticizing that, but let me
3:08 pm
go back to something that phil keating just showed us. he showed us a tweet from president trump. you can pop it on the screen. i will just -- i don't have to say it again because phil already reported on it. but basically to you, now that the president is tweeting that he feels that, quote, trump is vindicated. is there any reporting on whether president trump will become just as dogged in his efforts to find out what russia is up to in terms of trying to up end our democracy and interfere in very important up coming midterm elections? >> that's the big question. if you look at the past week, the president on monday declined sort of -- aggressive sanctions on russia that drew bipartisan criticism on capitol hill. then sort of framing the other side of the week, you had his new nuclear security posture which included sort of additional tougher language regarding russia. so it's hard -- reading the tee leaves, it is -- tea leaves it is kind of hard to know where to look.
3:09 pm
the president did launch integrity commission to look into voter fraud. he's not invested a whole lot of certainly his own time and some of his staff time in sort of election protection, sort of protecting the integrity of the electoral process. that's something that we will certainly be asking more of the white house as the midterm elections in november gets closer. arthel: we will be watching and asking questions ourselves. who do you have in the game? quick answer. >> i'm rooting for the asteroids. come on, i'm a giants fan. it is hard to root for either team. >> that's fine. i understand that. thank you. >> thank you. eric: well, in about ten minutes from now republican congressman tom garrett will be here asking more about the memo and the controversy. while that is going on, yes, they have to pass another budget deadline that's looming on capitol hill. congress needs to pass a bill funding the government past february 8th. republicans may be forced to pass another short-term spending bill. you know, to keep the lights on. they have to do that in five days from now. ellison barber live from
3:10 pm
washington. hi. >> hi. no one on capitol hill says they want a shutdown when last month was not good politically for anyone, but the deadline to get something done is rapidly approaching. house speaker paul ryan says the government won't shut down, but he also says a long-term budget before this week's deadline is unlikely. >> i think we're making progress on an agreement an even if we get everything figured out by say tuesday, we still will have to have a cr if only for the fact we had to get them time to write an appropriations bill. >> sources tell fox news republicans are looking at a short-term bill that funds the government through march 23rd. but lawmakers haven't reached an agreement just yet. even the republican party, there are disagreements. congressman meadows told a group of reporters i don't see the probability of the freedom caucus supporting a fifth cr without substantial changes by february 8th unless we see dramatic changes. defense hawks say short-term bills hurt military readiness.
3:11 pm
they are pushing to bolster defense spending and sources tell fox news they could oppose a short-term bill. for democrats an issue is immigration. protection for dreamers, immigrants brought to the u.s. illegally as children, and then also domestic spending. >> if you want to increase the defense spending, and we're not objecting to that, we have to have a commensurate increase on the domestic side. you cannot increase defense and bleed the domestic budget and think we're going to be a strong nation. >> there seem to be some optimism over in the senate. on thursday minority leader schumer told the washington post the discussions on a deal for budgetary caps are going well. eric? eric: schumer does not want to have what happened last time happen. i'm betting the lights will stay on. thank you. arthel: eric, new developments in the las vegas shooting massacre as prosecutors file new criminal charges. we are going to have a live
3:12 pm
report on that next. plus the sweeping g.o.p. tax reform is now in e ekt. did you see a bump in your paycheck this week? you'll earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, every day. not just airline purchases. (yelling) holy moly, that's a lot of miles! shh-h-h-h! what's in your wallet? man: shh-h-h! you're smart,eat shh-hyou already knew that. but it's also great for finding the perfect used car. you'll see what a fair price is and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. now you're even smarter. this is truecar. when it comes to strong bones, are you on the right path? we have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, so with our doctors we chose prolia® to help make our bones stronger. only prolia® helps strengthen bones by stopping cells that damage them with 1 shot every 6 months. do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant,

arthel: lawyers for disgraced hollywood producer weinstein suggesting a possible legal
3:16 pm
threat against actress uma thurman after she claimed that he sexually assaulted her. thurman tells the new york times weinstein tried to force himself on her when they were working together on pulp fiction. a movie that made weinstein a powerful hollywood mogul. she says she was able to wiggle away from him then the next day weinstein sent her flowers. his lawyers statement reading quote her statements are being carefully examined and investigated before deciding whether any legal action against her would be appropriate. eric: new criminal charges have been filed in the las vegas shooting masker -- shooting massacre. an arizona charged with manufacturing armor piercing bullets without a license. he sold ammunition to the gunman stephen paddock. will carr has more. >> haig says while he did sell paddock ammo he had no idea what
3:17 pm
the vegas gunman planned to do with it. he's an aerospace engineer who sells ammunition as a part time hobby. he was arrested friday and now facing charges for conspiracy and selling armour piercing bullets. he sold paddock 720 rounds of what's called tracer ammunition. that creates a flame after a bullet is fired that allows a shooter to follow the bullet's path. paddock went on to commit the worst mass shooting in modern u.s. history in las vegas last october. haig says that when paddock purchased the ammo, he said, he quote, was going to put on a light show. along with numerous guns and bump stocks authorities say they found a box of unused ammunition in paddock's room with haig's name on it and two bullets that haig's fingerprints on them as well. >> none of the ammunition that doug sold to mr. paddock was used at all in the tragedy that occurred in las vegas. >> very very thankful that he didn't use any of the ammunition
3:18 pm
that i sold him. i feel terrible about what happened. again, i keep wracking my brain. what did i miss? what did i miss? there were no outward signs. he appeared as normal as anybody in this room. very well spoken, very clean cut, very well-dressed. very polite and respectful. >> the only other person of interest in this case is paddock's girlfriend. authorities has said she's been very cooperative since the attack and they have since cleared her. haig was leased on bond on friday and now faces -- was released on bond on friday and now faces five years in prison and $250,000 potentially in fines. arthel: many americans are beginning to see benefits from the new tax legislation with a bump in their paychecks this week as employers withhold less money to account for expected
3:19 pm
tax cuts. >> my take-home pay is higher. maybe trump is making it happen. i don't know. we will see. >> i think there's a lot more room for improvement and hopefully we will see some of that. i'm not going to make a decision on one paycheck. arthel: the economy also added 200,000 new jobs last month better than predicted. eric: good news. meanwhile, new york has become the fourth state in the country to provide paid family leave. that allows parents to spend more time to care for newborn or adopted child. comes as president trump received a standing ovation in the state of the union address calling for a similar national policy. fox business's deidre bolton has more from new york. >> i'm thrilled that i get to see her. she has a little personality >> this working mom is one of the first beneficiaries of a new family leave program. she works at new york university. when her daughter was born, she and her husband faced a cash crunch and dipped into their
3:20 pm
savings so she could stretch her time off from work to almost four months. now thanks to new york state's new policy, she's not forced to choose between focusing on her daughter or her job as she was with her first born. >> i'm actually a little sad because i think back to my son, and there was things that i don't remember with him, and with her, i feel like i'm really in tune to like what her needs are. >> pew research shows that most americans favor the concept of national paid family leave. 35% of americans say it's as important as improving transportation infrastructure and dealing with drug addiction. this summer ivan ka trump wrote an open letter in the "wall street journal" making a case for a national plan saying it is an investment for american families. during the state of the union this week, the president addressed a national policy. the u.s. is the only industrialized nation where citizens aren't giving paid time off when a family member is deployed on military abroad, to
3:21 pm
care for a serious health condition or bond with a newly born adopted or foster child. most conservatives think the free market should determine benefits afraid of creating another entitlement program. new york state's lawmakers think they have found a solution. their program is funded by residents through a weekly payroll tax that is less than 1%. >> you make $27,000 a year, it is about 65 cents a week. a small amount of your income is putting into this fund, and it will be there when you need it, just like disability insurance works, if you get injured on the job, you need to take that money, it is there. >> the new york state law offers eight weeks off paid at 50% of the worker's average weekly wage with a cap of $650 per week. by 2021, new yorkers will be allowed to take more time and be reimbursed with more money. eric: deidre bolton reporting from new york. arthel: critics of the president lashing out at him after the release of the controversial memo alleging government abuse of surveillance powers.
3:22 pm

3:26 pm
going beyond expectations... because our pets deserve it. beyond. natural pet food. arthel: the release of a newly declassified memo alleging bias at the fbi and justice department against president trump is drawing fierce reaction in the nation's capital. democrats condemning its release, but the author of that memo, chairman of the house intelligence committee, devin nunes says it was his obligation to put it out there. molly henneberg has more. >> congressman nunes says it's quote outrageous what happened in the secret fisa court. >> i think the american people understand that the fbi should not go to secret courts using information that was paid for by the democrats to open up investigations and get warrants on people of the other political
3:27 pm
party. that's the type of stuff that happens in -- >> the new memo details why the fisa court gave permission for the fbi to spy on a former trump campaign advisor carter page. the case against page was based in large part, the memo says, on information collected by former british spy christopher steele. from the memo now, quote, the dossier compiled by steel, the steele dossier on behalf of the democratic national committee and the hilary clinton campaign formed an essential part of the carter page fisa application. it goes on to say the application doesn't mention steele was ultimately working on behalf of and paid by the dnc and clinton campaign. or that the fbi had separately authorized payment to steele for the same information. democrats dispute that claim and say the steele dossier was not the basis for the warrant being approved.
3:28 pm
we had congressman adam smith on earlier today and he was saying, quote, the -- we have the spot now. let's go that now. >> you set up this brilliant argument that says, you know, the dossier, you know, was the key to it, and the justice department didn't disclose this. the flaw is that the dossier was not the key or did not have hardly anything to do with the getting of the warrant against carter page. >> congressman nunes insists that the fbi never would have gotten permission to surveil carter page without the steele dossier. arthel? arthel: molly henneberg, thank you. eric? eric: arthel, meanwhile house intelligence committee chairman nunes is defending that decision as we have said to release the controversial memo. >> well, i think what's happening is i think the mainstream media and the democrats are tying this to the mueller investigation because they are trying to perpetuate this nonsense of obstruction of justice because they have left
3:29 pm
the russia collusion issue. they know there was no collusion. and you know, i've been saying this for a year now that there was no evidence of collusion. eric: is that the case? joining us now is republican congressman tom garrett of virginia also member of the house homeland security and foreign affairs committees. good to see you tonight. >> my pleasure. eric: you know what the critics are saying about this memo, you know, that many democrats are saying it is slanted, it is riddled with omissions and only supports the republican narrative. how would you respond to that? >> it is a hit job when we completely disregard the fourth and fifth and 14th amendments right to privacy and due process to weaponize the federal government against american citizens. congressman smith's wording didn't have hardly to do with anything which concedes it did had something to do with the fisa memo. none of this would be admissible in the court of law because they were dishonest with the tribunal
3:30 pm
of the court so they were obviously wanting information in a hurry without regard to a criminal court which adds more questions. eric: can you describe and explain versus franks and how that impacts the agents and the officials who brought that to fisa court? >> the fisa court has to review the information by those seeking of warrant. those seeking the warrant have the duty of the tribunal, that means they have to disclose all information that's relevant and pertinent. they absolutely positively did not do that. and whether you're going to get probable cause or not might hinge on whether or not someone might have a motive to be less than honest which obviously mr. steele did on multiple levels. two different paychecks, so i think the real story here and i want to set aside my partisan hat is the weaponization of the federal government against its citizenry. we have seen this time and again. whether it's the irs, whether it's fisa surveillance of americans that we know about
3:31 pm
from sources like the washington post and new york times, that's occurred previously, and that's what all americans regardless of their political affiliation should be afraid of. eric: when you say all information, clearly you are referring to the fact that the paychecks to the clinton campaign and dnc supposedly i mean as well as i mean earlier the information from the washington free beacon. >> sure and then the leak to yahoo! by steele and i will tell you that i have not only read the republican memo but also the democrat memo and candidly while i can't discuss its contents i'm convinced they don't want it to be leased by virtue of -- they don't want it to be leareleased by -- >> i think they will make a big thing about their memo isn't out. they are playing with political games with this because they have been caught with the hand in the cookie jar. >> can they redact sources? >> they would have to redact
3:32 pm
significant portions without getting into the contents. >> you just talked about steele and getting paid. let me read one part of the memo. the carter page fisa application also cited extensively a september 23rd, 2016 yahoo! news article. steele has admitted he met with yahoo! news and several other outlets he improperly concealed and lied to from the fbi about those contacts. steele had become a less than reliable source for the fbi. so in other words, congressman, as a prosecutor, what you are saying it was the duty and incumbent and mandate upon the officials to reveal that to the court. and reveal the payments, reveal that he was talking to the news media. isn't it appropriate for the federal government to use, you know, news report that's not done under oath for something as serious as a fisa application? >> well, practice law in any one of the 50 states you have to take a professional responsibility exam and everybody knows you can't
3:33 pm
withhold information from the court. having said that, i'm waiting for the charges against steele for lying to federal agents because that's a criminal charge in and of itself. it seems like that's completed. i guess i won't hold my breath but at the end of the day, again the thing that scares me, removing the partisanship is that we see government leveraged against private citizens in counter to our 4th amendment rights to privacy and 5th and 14th amendment rights to due process. that's what should scare every american. eric: carter has been saying that for months. here's carter page ten months ago speaking to us on fox news. take a listen. >> there's no basis. i'm a loyal american. and i serve my country in the military and i was an eagle scout growing up, catholic school, so i've done nothing wrong. maybe i got a couple speeding tickets along the way, but i've never done anything illegal.
3:34 pm
so for them to come after me, if this in fact the case, would be quite an astonishing revelation. eric: for them to come after me would be quite an astonishing revelation. your reaction? >> well, look, i mean, i think jeff sessions was at an event at the rnc where there were russians present that were approved to be there by no less than the obama administration and then they said look, you met with russians, right? so it's almost like a sort of game of got ya. on the foreign affairs committee i have sat down and met with some pretty unsavory characters. it is sometimes part of doing the job. you don't get to pick the people who are relevant in the world. there's that. obviously i think one side is quick to play with convenient facts and disregard others. eric: congressman garrett, thank you. we will see if the democrats do or do not get that other report out their own the next couple ek weeks >> thank you for the time. russian aircraft downed in

eric: tensions are mounting in rebel held parts of syria. russia reportedly striking back after al qaeda linked militants claim they shot down a russian fighter jet today and killed its pilot after he ejected from the plane and landed on the ground. we have more from our london bureau. >> eric, that russian pilot opened fire against a group of rebels which was trying to capture him alive before he was gunned down. that's according to several sources including the russian military, the rebels on the ground, and some eyewitnesses in the area. now, the russian air force has been operating in the northwest of syria for sometime now in support of the syrian army which is trying to capture the
3:40 pm
province, one of the last strongholds of the rebels in the area. there are some reports that this russian fighter jet was downed by a rebel group affiliated with al qaeda. there are an awful lot of forces operating in close proximity particularly in northern syria. so you have the russians that have been in the country since 2015 in support of the president of syria. they are the dominant force on the ground. in addition to that, you have the turkish military that's moved in over the last month. they are fighting kurdish forces in the north of the country that have been backed by the united states. and finally, you have the u.s. military itself with its own forces on the ground. so you have a lot of a -- a lot of potential for trouble. any time you have an incident like this, russian jets don't get shot out of the skies above syria very often, then you have the potential for an escalation of the violence. eric? eric: ryan, thank you very much.
3:41 pm
arthel? arthel: for more on this we're going to bring in fox news foreign policy analyst, professor of international relations at carnegie mellon university and research fellow at the hoover institution and always with great analysis. so let me first by asking you, professor, how do you interpret this latest reporting? >> it's just reminds us that the syrian conflict is not over. seven years into a civil war that's been incredibly bloody, that's been one of the greatest humanitarian crises in the 21st century still has many miles to go. this is a long war on many fronts. it is a civil war in syria. it is a war for the battle of ending jihad, radical islam, al qaeda, its affiliates and isis. they are not gone. it is a great power conflict. with the russians and the americans on different sides. both want to see isis destroyed. but not both on the side of
3:42 pm
assad. the russians have been there to support him and keep him in power as you know. secretary tillerson recently gave a talk at stanford where he in fact said we want to see a transition in leadership. so very different objectives in a tight competitive environment. arthel: so we know that russia already reportedly struck back by firing missiles into northern syria, the province, this is according to russia's ministry of defense, killing supposedly approximately 30 al qaeda militants. are we certain that those were al qaeda affiliated militants who shot down that plane and not shot down by antiassad government groups? there's a report out there that says the free syrian army fighters did so. if that is the case, which again i don't have that confirmation at the moment, if that's the case, how would that change the equation? >> that's a scary dynamic
3:43 pm
because it puts the united states in russia in more direct conflict with each other because of the fact that we have supported free syrian forces. but i think there's a bigger issue going on here. we're still getting reporting on who did what. the fact of the matter is that everyone's involved in northern syria. this province is the final stronghold of militants and the assad regime has laid fire on tens of thousands of innocent civilians who are now fleeing a place that they had seen as a safe haven. so the refugee crisis and the movement, the forced movement of people continues. this is just really not ending any time soon. arthel: and as you already pointed out, listen, you know, it's very well known that vladimir putin is the most fierce supporter of bashar al-assad, the syrian president,
3:44 pm
so what should the u.n. officials and nato, including the u.s., which should the nato countries do? should they monitor this from afar and watch and see how it develops or is something else they can do in a more proactive fashion? >> both things that you have suggested are important. we should stand back and let this play out and get the true facts because there are a lot of evolving discussions about what's going on the ground and video is still emerging, but the nato and allied and western forces along with middle east partners need to be as unified as possible around a common goal, which is to end the conflict in syria and really support and at least an eventual transition of leadership in that country. but it must be understood that the global war on terror continues and syria is a major battleground. we can't let down our guard. that's where american leadership
3:45 pm
is so central for our allies to keep them engaged. arthel: i have something else to ask about that, but i have to go on because when you mention that, the american leadership has to stand strong and be fierce and not let up, then that brings me to what about our president and president putin, and if our president will put the pressure -- more pressure -- he's already doing some pushing back on president putin. we will see if there's more but i have to move on because i want to talk about our president and north korea. i want to audio some sounds with the president and some north korean defectors in the oval office. >> many administrations should have acted on this a long time ago when we weren't in this kind of position. we ran out of road. you know the expression the road really ended. they could have done it 12 years ago. they could have done it 20 years ago. they could have done it four years ago and two years ago.
3:46 pm
we have no road left. we will see what happens. in the meantime we will get through the olympics and maybe something good can come out of the olympics. arthel: that was president trump yesterday in the oval office saying look this is all ahead of the olympics and south korea let's see what happens after that. is the president setting up something, professor skinner, or telegraphing a message and how might kim jong-un perceive the meetings at the white house because he is dying to be received that way? give me 40 seconds, please. >> okay. i want to say that the president's doing the right thing because the tension with north korea is not around missiles actually, they are a symptom of the deeper problem which is the illegitimacy of the korean regime and when you talk to defectors and bring them to the oval office, you are getting closer to the heart of the problem in north korea, which is one of the world's great humanitarian crises over many decades. and when defectors begin to tell the truth in the presence of american leadership, it sends a signal to the world.
3:47 pm
this is the beginning of really resolving the north korean crisis. arthel: yeah, and seeing the state of the union the other night was really powerful. professor skinner, always a pleasure. thank you very much. we will see you again. >> thank you. eric: just ahead, she was just 6 years old during the holocaust, and she was saved by the legendary oscar schindler. hear her message that resonates so deeply today when she spoke before the united nations general assembly. ♪ i'm walking on sunshine ♪ wow! ♪ i'm walking on sunshine ♪ wow! ♪ applebee's handcrafted burgers. any burger just $7.99. now that's eatin good in the neighborhood. for 100 years, heritage and innovation have made gillette the #1 shave in america. now get gillette quality at lower prices -- every day. brought to you by 1200 workers in boston -- we're proud of giving you our best. gillette. the best a man can get.

death, the atrocities tragically continue today and the lessons of such barberism were remembered at the united nations general assembly this week. >> the theme song from the movie schindler's list echoed in the united nations general assembly chamber. it played to honor the 6 million jews who perished in the holocaust and for those who survived like eva lavi. >> mrs. lavi. [applause] >> eva is the youngest person to be saved by the legendary oskar schindler. now at 81 years old, she addressed the u.n. to remember and inspire. >> i feel guilty that i survived. i wonder why god save me? perhaps he wanted me to do

something big, something big, and i'm only an ordinary woman, no special achievements. but now when i'm here, talking from the united nations, this is the big something that god planned for me. [applause] >> she received a standing ovation. in 1943, when she was 6 years old, eva was rounded up and sent to auschwitz. it was there that schindler saved her life. the scene is depicted in spielberg's iconic film "schindler's list". it shows schindler lying to nazi guards by claiming the tiny child, small fingers were needed to clean the barrels of guns. >> you tell me! >> eva sat down with us and said she is lucky to be alive. >> did you realize that your
3:54 pm
life was being saved? >> of course. of course. every time, i knew that my life was saved. >> the ceremony to mark international holocaust memorial day at the u.n., not only condemned the horrors of the holocaust but warned of the same hatreds that sadly continue today. >> every person in this room must find his inner oskar schindler. we must be like oskar schindler when we see people treated unfairly in this room. we must be like oskar schindler when we see anti-semitism in our streets just as schindler did, we will defeat the poison of evil and hatred with the strength of unity and justice. ♪ >> israel's united nations
3:55 pm
ambassador says the lessons of survivors like eva must not be forgotten. >> she's a hero and we are grateful that she could make the trip from israel coming especially to the u.n. that's why i have to cherish the memorie memories, to document the stories of the survivors. >> schindler was once a nazi himself was credited with saving at least 1200 jews. he died in 1974 at the age of 66 and is buried in jerusalem. he is forever a powerful symbol of courage and conviction standing up for humanity and eva lavi certainly an inspiration. we will be right back. ethnical. so we sent that sample off to ancestry. my ancestry dna results are that i am 26% nigerian. i am just trying to learn as much as i can about my culture. i put the gele on my head and i looked into the mirror and i was trying not to cry. because it's a hat, but it's like the most important hat i've ever owned. discover the story only your dna can tell.
