ready for the big game. we are back next sunday with the latest buzz. [♪] eric: we start with a fox news alert. new details on the deadly train collision in south carolina. an amtrak passenger train plowing into a stationary freight train. it happened in pine ridge south of columbia. both people killed were amtrak employees. emergency crews transporting more than 100 people to the hospital. welcome to "america's news headquarters," i'm eric shawn. molly: i'm molly line.

bryan llenas is with us with the latest details. reporter: two amtrak crew members died in this crash. 116 people were sent to area hospitals. amtrak train 91 was traveling from new york to miami when it collided with a stationary csx freight train just before 2:34:00 a.m. this morning. the collision caused the amtrak lead engine and two passenger cars to derail. no one was on the freight train. according to the governor it appeared to him the amtrak train was traveling on the wrong track because the freight train was on

a loading track. he reiterated all the information is preliminary. a national transportation safety board, ntsb, is on the way to investigate this crash. >> we need to determine what happened. what equipment or electronics or different or at fault or on the blink, or if there was human error. if so, where was the train supposed to be and at which time. reporter: he asked churchgoers this sunday to say a prayer for the victims. molly: how are the victims doing? reporter: officials say the injuries range from minor scrapes to severe broken bones. 27 people were treated there.

most of are expected to be released. one is in critical condition. two are serious. the red cross is operating a shelter at pine ridge middle school near the crash. volunteers are helping dozens of passengers. they got food this morning. this is the third amtrak crash since december. an amtrak train derailed in washington state killing three, and wednesday an amtrak train carrying republican lawmakers collided with a garbage truck. eric: there is a lot of new reaction on capitol hill to the controversial release of the republican memo. it accused the fbi of abusing surveillance powers. democrats calling the memo quote

deliberately misleading. president trump says it totally vindicates him. reporter: president trump is spending day two nearby at the trump international golf club where he has been for the past 2 1/2 hours. today wind could be a factor on the fairways. a press aide says the president was briefed on that fatal train collision in south carolina and his thoughts and prayers go out to those affected. the president tweeted more last night about the republican intelligence memo released friday. quoting the "wall street journal." it reports the disturbing facts. it reports that the clinton campaign funded the dossier and

the fbi became a tool of political actors. this should alarm anyone who wants the fbi to be a non-partisan enforcer of the law. the fbi wasn't straight with congress as it hid most of these facts from investigators. devin nunes, the chairman of the committee released the memo. >> i think the nunes charges against fisa, particularly without looking at the entire application, without talking to the judges who actually make these decisions, i think that's irresponsible. reporter: but on fox and friend, white house advisor kellyanne conway faulted democrats for pushing back on the memo's

release. >> it's hypocritical. they have been charging forward for one year now promising collusion and a change in the election results. that's just not happening. reporter: later today at golf club special guests will be performing for the president and first lady melania. the marching band will be drumming up some super bowl spirit for the first family, and they will go back to mar-a-lago tonight where they are hosting a super bowl party at the estate. eric: thanks very much. molly: let's bring in john fund, a columnist for the "national

review." just to kick things off. your initial thoughts when you had today a chance to read what was in this memo. do you think it should have been released? >> after all the warnings it would impact national security and reveal sources that would have grave concerns bin tell jns gathering. there was nothing like that in the memo. not a single word was redacted. i thought at that level the memo was unsurprising. what was surprising, though we have to wait for the underlying documents to get the details. this is a use of our intelligence agencies that in the 1960s and 1970s, papers like the "new york times" would have treated it has an issue bigger than the pentagon papers which is note theaters now.

molly: it reports that the dossier was take to the court and used as part of the evidence to spy on an individual who was working in part in some way with the trump campaign. how big of a bombshell is that? it's what a lot of people thought happened, now we see that according to this memo -- >> well, apparently the kind of warrant they were seeking on carter page, the sometime trump advisor was a broad one. even though americans may not care if one individual, carter panel was eavesdropped on, the warrant gave authorities the power to surveil people that mr. carter page had contact with. if he emailed or phoned someone, those people could be surveilled. in some circumstances people they talked to could be surveilled. it's not just about one person. many people attached to the trump campaign.

many people not attached to the trump campaign. that should concern all americans. if a spurious warrant application can be used to surveil not just one person, but anyone someone wants to have information on for political purposes. molly: when this document was used as part of the impetus to continue on with the investigation in the manner they chose to. when they dug into this, at that point in time it wasn't verified. and they referenced the yahoo news article. when the source for the dossier and news article no longer worked for them. that it was used in this secret court we can't watch the proceedings of.

should there be a higher standard? >> i talked to a former fisa judge and he's very concerned that this happened. he's very concerned that the court that relies on the honesty of the evidence presented to it. the people who don't want people surveilled don't appear in court. only one side appears in court and makes its argument. four years ago we were told the irs did not target anyone among the tea party groups. president obama assured us it was a nothing burger. there was no scandal. now four years later we know there was a scandal. the justice department has apologized to these tea party groups. we were told the same thing for the irs and it was misused for political purposes. we now know that. mollie: it's interesting to see

documents that do come out. the democrats made this argument that this was about national security. now they say they may have their own memo coming out. your thoughts on a potential memo. do you support it coming out into the public light as well? >> of course. i'm told when they debated whether to release the democratic memo, it wasn't finished yet. it has to go through the same procedures as the republican memo. it has to be looked at by the committee. it has to be voted out of the committee and go to the white house for five days of review. by all means let's look at the memo. the underlying documents could be released because there is nothing classified in them anyway. let's have as much as possible laid out on the table. molly: the president tweeted post release the memo totally

vinld case him. do you think that's what this memo does? >> the president even gauges in a lot of hyperbole. this is an example of that. the mueller investigation is didn't. but we have to look at everything put out by our government sceptically. we should do that with the president's treats and certainly with the leaks that are illegal coming out of the mueller investigation. molly: the investigation has turned on to the state department. clinton loyalists, how was information passed, what actions were taken? >> when hillary clinton left the state department in 2013, did she really leave it? did she ask for classified information to continue to be transmitted to her and other parties? did employees at the state

department thinking she was almost certain to become the next president cooperate too much with her, treating her not as a former secretary of state, but the as a future president. molly: we can't watch what goes on in these committees because it happens behind closed doors. various lawmakers come out and speak before the cameras. but in this case with this memo we had a chance to look at what was presented and perhaps one side's perspective on how things were presented. perhaps we'll see more if this democratic memo comes out. if you see a document like this, do you think this is a great way to communicate? >> i prove we have less partisan spin and more factual analysis. because of the justice department stonewalling the intelligence committee for six

moos, it had to come out this way. i preert inspector general approach. the obama inspector general of the justice department is about to release a report on how the clinton email scandal was hand, and how the russian investigation began. i think we can take this republican memo seriously. we should look at the democratic memo seriously. but the inspector general's report will be more objective and it's from an obama appointee. molly: as you mention, one day we'll be able to get a much broader perspective on all of this. john fund, the "national review." thank you very much. eric: justice department officials filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by paul manafort.

he has done that against robert mueller and rod rosenstein. he pled not guilty to money laundering and tax he vision charges last october. he says the alleged allegations fall outside the bounds of russian melding and mueller doesn't have the legal authority to have brought the charges against him. molly. an amtrak train collides with a freight train in south carolina. two people are dead and others injured. ♪ i thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there.

>> at the age of 4 when i met my first doctor and he made such an impression of me. from that day on at age 4 i was determined to become a doctor. eric: he wants just quote a tv doctor. he did his own work. >> so many so-called celebrity doctors or attorneys are specialists hire writers to do their work. but my dad did it all himself. he was a sharp guy. eric: you come from an i will pluanillustrious family. >> my mother's father was the doctor my far it went to work for. eric: it was an enduring

trading for the latest in what seems to be a rash of amtrak at today's. molly. >> russia strikes back in syria after militants shoot down a russian fighter jet yesterday capturing and killing the pilot and rebel held territory. moscow is now claiming it has killed more than 30 rebels in that area according to reports. david miller is life with reports on this. but where do we know about russia's retaliations? >> the russian defense ministry, mali is saying what it describes as high precision weapons to kill more than 20 of those rebels. this is in retaliation as you mention to the russian fighter being down over the weekend at iliad province in the northwest portion of syria. moscow says the aircraft was a russian su 25 down on saturday by a surface to air missile. video of the incident was posted on the internet.

the plane was shot down in the area where the syrian army and iranian backfires are battling antigovernment rebels from a group linked to al qaeda has claimed responsibility for bringing down the russian aircraft. the plane on the video ejected from the aircraft before it crashed according to a rebel fighter on the ground the russian pilot and try to open fire with a pistol and that is when he was killed. the last six weeks there has been very intense fighting, so much so that 275,000 people have had to flee their homes. molly. molly: turkish forces have been killed this week administering conflict. who are they fighting? >> it has been a very bloody weekend. eight turkish fighters were killed over the weekend in a series of separate attacks by the white pg. that is the syrian kurdish group. five of the soldiers died near

>> on the other side of the world, north korea firing back, saving the state of the union address. foreign minister responding to the president's speech saying north korea's nuclear capabilities will completely detoured trump and his lackeys from showing off on the north korean peninsula. president trump. to highlight the north abuses. ambassador john bolton, senior fellow at the american enterprise institute and fox news contributor and chairman of the keystone institute here in new york. ambassador, and showing off on the korean peninsula. the only way the north koreans can frame it could be referring to vice president pence who attended the olympics later this week and the opening ceremony. >> i love north korean

propaganda. it never fails to get a laugh from people. this is the real face of north korea. this is the regime that is very very close to getting deliverable nuclear weapons and it was interesting that they used the term deter america, their nuclear capability. they are kind of puffing themselves up year. they are worried about a u.s. preemptive strike against their nuclear program. not that i have any evidence that's that to happen. that's for sure. they are trying to apply if we start than we start them will hit with nuclear weapons. they don't have that capability at the moment. it actually shows they are nervous and what they really want to do is knock us off. vice president pence as you mention will be going to the opening ceremony. it's an important assignment. he's not just there to watch the ceremony. they were going up to the dmz. >> it is going to be a reminder

for a poke in the eye of kim jong un peer >> i think it's important for the south korean alliance and i think it is a mark that we see through the north korean propaganda. other people around the world are doing on because north korea and female ice hockey stars are going to play as one team. this whole thing is blue smoke and mirrors. an effort to divert our attention from the continuing progress in the nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. >> being paraded around like madonna or lady gaga. the president of the united states meeting with north korean defectors. we saw that the marvelous amazing tear in the eye inspiring image when he raised his crutches. really a freedom was hit by a

train as he fled north korea. tell us about the meaning of that. >> that's a direct message go to the north korean regime into china. these refugees go through a hollow really, living in north korea and then getting out trying to escape through china often aided by as they are passed down to southeast asia especially the women. so when they get out, they talk to the authorities. a real symbol that the united states knows the fate that they are suffering and have their best interest at heart. very similar to some of the things president reagan did during the cold war that inspired the prisoners in the soviet gulags. this is really a call for china to understand how strongly this

administration feels about the threat that the north korean regime posed. trey junipero is some of the defect or is every patriot back to north korea and they get executed publicly we are told. >> were, very risky to escape and that is why the heroism they display is so important to recognize. north korea is getting ever closer to deliverable nuclear weapons barring some dramatic action by china which is increasingly coming down to the decision either to accept nuclear weapons in the hands of this very bizarre regime or consider the use of military force. these are not happy choices but were running out of options. trade you would not trace the catastrophic considering the millions who could be killed potentially in south korea with sol 35 miles from the dmz?

>> consider the millions of americans who could be killed by this bizarre regime led by a man who had assassins killed his own half-brother with the gas in the malaysian airport. this may be rational but it's rational in its own strange world and having them with that capability and the ability to sell it to others, we have to have a debate on this very going to accept that or find it on except bowl. we will not accept it. that is the issue we are coming to. >> meeting with the dissonance committee met in 1988 with dissidents in moscow and he said this. i have to believe the history of the troubled century will indeed be redeemed in the eyes of god and man and a freedom will truly calmed into our and potentially one day could include north korea. >> is certainly could include north korea. south korea has proven a

democratic society and i think that is why the ideal goal here ought to be a convince china to let peninsula essentially the north absorbed by the south in the korean people but certainly better for us to have the north korean regime disappear. train to ambassador john bolton, as always coming thank you. he just disappeared as he said that word. molly: excellent job. very informative. the release over the controversial house intelligence committee will join us to talk about having the impact of special counsel rush investigation. police are taking action against a florida couple accused of preventing their son that he has terminal brain cancer in a scheme to collect money. >> that is unheard of. she shouldn't be apparently she's going to be like that. she's not only tricking her son. she stricken the family.

that is wrong.

it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. ♪ burned me up and down, shno way to cool it. ♪ ♪ ♪ every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey ♪ 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

memo vindicates him in special counsel robert mueller's probe. then he voted to release the memo. he is also a former cia officer who served in the middle east and asia. thanks for being here today. >> always a pleasure to be on. >> to start off committee voted to release the memo. writing in the pardon to be out there? >> the american public under that information circular reporting and rumors will be used in a title iii court to get an approval to spy on americans. our civil liberties are important. they're things that make our country great. that is the focus of the memo of a series of five applications on one individual and that's why lay on the camp with trey gowdy of a direct impact our fisa

court and doj officials recognize that congress is going to fulfill its oversight role to shine a light on what's happening. molly: there's been on information howlers lace, when it's released and whether it's politically motivated. as a fundamental check and balance in our american democracy. how important is that what happens before the fisa court is held to a higher standard even than what we see publicly. ignoring the courtrooms, cover trials but i can't get in and watch what happens there. >> we give a lot of power and responsibility to the department of justice come intelligence communities, federal law enforcement and so they need to exercise the power appropriately and we've got to make sure the leaders of those organizations are crossing every t. and dotting every guy. the release of a memo in his conversation is not a rebuke of

the rank-and-file members within the fbi. i had the honor of serving side-by-side with a number of members in the fbi and our country is safer today because of the special agents and the folks that responsibility. >> would he think is the biggest take away from the memo? >> we need to make sure that we

understand the kind of information in order to spy on americans. i'm a professional intelligence officer. my job was to determine the difference between intelligence and information and in that process of collecting information, the information as judge and determine to make sure it's not fallacious and we shouldn't use saying unverified information. we shouldn't be using rumors from other folks and i don't know what court would use a newspaper article. my friends on the other side of the aisle say there was more information. that doesn't discount the fact that under circular reporting. molly: congressman will hurd, perhaps we'll see something and the democrats have become. thank you for joining us. eric: from the gridiron in washington to minneapolis, they are getting ready for kickoff of super bowl 52. live from the stadium with the preview just ahead.
