8:00 am
they're trying to find fair price. price discovery. >> figure out what is your value. >> yes. >> what is the price work? >> got to work itself out. >> we're going to mcdone algds to be french fries and we'll be all set tomorrow. >> "happening now" starts now. >> jon: and we start with a fox news alert on a new classified fisa memo. this one the democrats' version now at the white house. good morning, i'm jon scott. >> i'm julie banderas. the president with a big decision to make. the house panel voted unanimously to release the democratic memo. president trump meantime saying that memo vindicated him and now he has just five days to decide whether to allow the public to read the democrats' version. >> i think when you look at the first memo that was released and declassified it clearly showed there was serious
8:01 am
concerns that were raised from these higher levels of the department of justice, particularly f.b.i. showing political bias on using a dossier, a campaign opposition research memo that they used in order to give these fisa warrant. it's alarming. >> john roberts joins us live from the white house. we're waiting. >> good morning. we don't know how long we'll have to wait. it will be a matter of some days. the democratic memo is here at the white house. 10 pages long versus four pages for the republican fisa memo released on friday. the white house counsel's office and national security counsel reviewing it to see if it's possible released. sarah huckabee sanders said the white house received a memorandum. as stated many times the administration will follow the same process and procedure from this memorandum from the minority when it received last
8:02 am
week when it received the memorandum from the majority. this morning adam schiff said he has concerns about what this white house might do to his memo in the coming days. listen here. >> what i'm more concerned about is they make political redactions. not redactions to protect sources or methods that we've asked the department of justice and f.b.i. to do but redactions to remove information that they think is unfavorable to the president. that is our main concern at this point. >> schiff is saying he is worried about the white house making political redactions. sources who read the democratic memo tell fox news it is filled with sources and methods that would either need redacting or be cause to not allow the memo's release. sources say it was done tactically to force the white house in either making changes or objecting to its release. yesterday outside cincinnati president trump weighed in on the republican memo that we mentioned was released last friday. he didn't actually mention the
8:03 am
memo specifically but it was pretty clear what he was talking about. listen here. >> president trump: oh, but did we catch them in the act or what, you know what i'm talking about. oh, did we catch them in the act. they're very embarrassed. they never thought that they would get caught. we caught them. >> again the clock ticking. the white house has five days to decide to do with the democratic memo. either object to its release or clear it for release. the president is forcing a law enforcement round table on the gang ms-13, part of the effort to get an immigration deal through congress. he wants to trade protections for so-called dreamers for enhanced border security including a wall and an end to chain migration and visa lottery program. the president weighing in on the death of indianapolis colts linebacker edwin jackson. he was killed over the weekend by a drunk driver, illegal
8:04 am
immigrant deported twice and still in the country. the president tweeted this: so disgraceful a person illegally in our country killed colts linebacker edwin jackson. this is just one of many such preventable tragedies. we must get the dems to get tough on the border and with illegal immigration fast. it looks, though, like reaching a deal an daca isn't going to happen any time soon. talks have stalled in congress. the liaisons between the white house and democrats in congress not going as well as they were a couple of weeks ago. the deadline looming. we're less than a month away from the protections for so-called dreamers being eliminated, julie. the pressure will be on to try to get a deal here. >> the president did indicate yesterday he has no problem with this memo coming out so it will be a matter of when. >> we'll see. he hadn't read it when he made
8:05 am
those statements. >> that's true. you never know. we'll look forward to that. >> let's pick up on that. capitol hill now where lawmakers of both sides of the aisle are reacting to the democrat's rebuttal to the gop memo. >> i think the republican members understood that after calling for full transparency they were getting hammered over the course of the week for trying to hide the minority response. >> i voted yes. we said from day one it would be voted out. >> transparency. >> we said it all along. absolutely. >> they said our memo came to all sorts of conclusions. it didn't come to conclusions, it listed fact. their memo people will see, they actually come to conclusions and have personal attacks on myself and chairman gowdy. >> the memo distorted the state of the evidence and what was obtained through the fisa
8:06 am
process. so we wanted to provide a clear picture. >> ours bolsters the credibility of the f.b.i. >> jon: joining us now the white house correspondent for the daily caller. all right. the house intelligence committee voted unanimously to release the democrat memo. what happens now? >> right. the white house has exactly five days in order to do a national security classification of this memo. it is important to understand this memo is substantially longer than the republican counterpart. it is about 10 pages. so also what we're hearing is this memo has a lot more national considerations, national security considerations that the f.b.i. is going to have to take a long look at in terms of sources and methods and many of the other things that they are allowed to object to whenever it comes to declassification. it is also important to remember, though, that if mr. schiff and the democrats feel that this memo was, quote, politically redacted they do have the power to bring this to a closed door session of the
8:07 am
house in order to vote that memo out and in order to override the president's declassification authority. >> jon: why would democrats want to do that? one of their complaints about the then imminent release of the republican version -- the republican memo is that it would reveal sources and methods. if you're saying that your understanding is this one goes into even more depth, why? >> i think that john roberts hit it on the head before me. the fact that the democrats are eager to have the president have to make some redactions here so they can claim there is a political motivation behind these. the fact of the matter is if we look at the republican memo we heard so much about sources and methods, etc., etc., there was absolutely no national security implications to a fully unredacted version of the memo. so there is quite a bit of political theater that goes into this and we also have to understand this memo was constructed as a rebuttal to that of the republicans.
8:08 am
it was constructed specifically as a political document in order to have a rebuttal version to give context. but it is also interesting here that much of the context goes into the minutia of particular footnotes on whether the fisa application did disclose it was a political document or the f.b.i. disclosed that. >> jon: that one of the big questions here. the republican memo says the fisa judge or judges was not told that the dossier was politically motivated and paid for by the clinton campaign and the democratic national committee. now, it's our understanding that the democrats are going to say oh, but the judge could have read between the lines and he would have figured that out quite easily. >> right. we have no idea how long the fisa application is. it hasn't been released. as i understand it these things can run to several hundred pages. the idea the f.b.i. did not mention that to the judge but
8:09 am
included a mere footnote in a several hundred page document and said it was disclosure to the court. in terms of the political ramifications of this fisa application on an american citizen using politically motivated opposition research, it raises questions here. >> jon: what about the fact that glenn simpson was meeting with bruce ohr, a top justice department official and a guy whose wife worked for glenn simpson at fusion gps. >> that's one thing we never hear in the democratic rebuttal memo. there isn't much rebuttal here. glenn simpson met with bruce ohr. he had a relationship with christopher steele, he had a meeting with christopher steele. glenn simpson who helped compile the memo with christopher steele employed mr.
8:10 am
ohr's wife. what sources close to ohr's wife said she wasn't involved in this investigation whatsoever or the dossier's composition. but some of us have a few more questions for mrs. ohr on that subject. >> jon: she was considered a russia expert and in a fairly small firm. kind of interesting. all right. thank you very much. he is from the daily caller. >> what a wild ride on wall street. the dow taking a record setting dip yesterday before rebounding and then dropping again to end the day down more than 1100 points, the biggest point loss ever. the volatility continues this morning with another rollercoaster market. fox business network reporter is live in new york city. >> the market has been open for an hour and a half, julie. we've been down almost 570 points and up almost 370 points.
8:11 am
you have a 1,000 point swing from the high to the low of this session. it is complete whiplash for investors. it could make playing this market or quite frankly even staying in it daunting for so many people. this is when the financial advisors' phones are off the hook. what do we do? let me give you perspective. what we have seen consistently since the election of president trump is that a market has gone straight up from 17,000 to 26,000 on the dow in just over a year's time. now that volatility is making a pretty big comeback and pretty suddenly, investors are saying why now? well, we have higher interest rates, that's spooking investors no doubt. the federal reserve likely to continue to raise rates as long as the economy gets better. is the economy getting better good news and handle the higher cost of borrowing for instance?
8:12 am
yeah, wages have gone up in more than eight years. people are making money. companies are making money thanks to tax cuts. and a pretty strong earnings season expected growth for the fourth quarter of 13%. investors are saying how do i readjust to the new normal, the new reality? i do want to point out yes, the dow and the s&p 500 have given up their gains this year. it could all change. the nasdaq is still positive and so are many of its popular stocks, stocks we use their products every day, apple, netflix, amazon to name a few. so strap in, wild ride ahead. make up a number. at some point today we'll likely hit it, julie. >> thank you so much. >> jon: so will he or won't he? the question of the day, president trump trying now to decide whether he will allow the release of the democratic memo countering the republican memo that accused the f.b.i. of abusing its surveillance powers.
8:13 am
our next guest a republican lawmaker says the democratic document should be made public. plus a colorado deputy is killed on the job. how this case is adding to a disturbing trend in that state. >> just goes to show you how dangerous the job is and there is a lot of brave men and women who go out there every day and do it. hello, aloe. kelp is on the way! with herbal essences we said no, no, no to this stuff... and yes, yes, yes to bio:renew. made with active antioxidants that work from the inside out... to help animate lifeless hair, and bring it back to life. find aahs and oos in every fresh bottle of herbal essences bio:renew. let life in. going somewhere? whoooo. here's some advice.

8:15 am
8:16 am
>> jon: a colorado deputy is shot and killed in the line of duty making him the third deputy killed in that state since new year's eve. 34-year-old deputy michael flick was shot yesterday investigating a stolen car in colorado springs 70 miles south of denver. a police officer, two deputies and a bystander also shot. the suspect was shot and died at the scene. yesterday marked flick's 11th anniversary with the el paso county sheriff's department and
8:17 am
hundreds of people lined the streets last night to salute the fallen hero. >> julie: president trump now has in his hands a second classified memo dealing with accusations of surveillance abuse in the f.b.i. now the house intelligence committee voting yesterday to release the democratic rebuttal to the republican memo which alleged f.b.i. senior officials used the anti-trump dossier to secure a warrant to spy on a former trump campaign advisor. it is now up to the president to decide if the democratic memo will be made public. >> what we are going to learn when the democratic -- if and when, we certainly hope it is the democratic memo is released, a sort of counter point to the republican memo, what we will learn it is not true that this fisa warrant was awarded solely on the basis of this steele dossier. >> we saved the democrats from
8:18 am
some hypocrisy here. it had been vetted, our memo. then they wanted to immediately release theirs without it being vetted. that's why i voted against it. >> julie: joining me now is congressman doug collins of georgia and member of the house judiciary committee. thank you for talking to us this morning. so democrats are saying the fisa warrant wasn't awarded solely on the basis of the steele dossier. they haven't proven that. what other credible intel did they have to obtain the warrant if it wasn't just christopher steele's anti-trump dossier. >> that's the point they're trying to talk about now. this is the interesting issue. they put forth in their memo and trying to do something they've been fighting for the last year. it is the democrats on the intelligence committee that have been lacking transparency. not wanting to see the documents and now they're saying it wasn't the only thing. it was one of the main prominent pieces in their
8:19 am
argument before the fisa court. when you look at it from that percent pekt irving. if it wasn't so important leave it out. if it wasn't important enough to keep in why did you include it? the democrats don't want to deal it when you are dealing with tainted information that was paid for through dnc and clinton campaign. these are the kinds of things, the bias evident that they don't want to bring forward and trying to do everything to shift attention from that. >> julie: devin nunes said the gop memo was phase one of the process to release information on government surveillance abuses and the democratic memo is phase two. so then what more are we going to learn in the democrats' counter memo if it wasn't an abuse of the fisa court? >> i think what we've seen so far there is enough questions coming into account when you are looking at the information given to the fisa court and the lack of transparency or the lack of forthrightness on those presenting the application to say there was no bias
8:20 am
especially in the steele dossier to say there is an agenda being perpetrated. 18 before the actual election. these things need to come out and continue to be vetted. i think the american people need to know. remember the fisa court and system itself came out of intelligence abuses in the 70s where it came from and congress is simply doing what congress is supposed to do. provide oversight. i'm not sure what the democrats are upset about. >> julie: they want the republicans to vet their memo and then yet they don't want to vet their memo. adam schiff said democrats want to make sure the white house doesn't redact our memo for political purposes. then on the same day the president during a speech in ohio celebrated the release of the gop memo boasting how the democrats are caught in the act. what in the world is schiff talking about? >> maybe running for another office. i'm not sure. the problem here is schiff has always been the past year if you look at it running
8:21 am
interference not wanting this released and not wanting this investigated. we need transparency. there was a senator durbin who said it presents a constitutional crisis. when is oversight by the congress a constitutional crisis when it is our job to look at this and protect the rights of the american citizens? when we put this forward we're holding those accountable and do what we're supposed to be doing. >> julie: thank you very much. appreciate you coming on. >> jon: still ahead the national transportation safety board releases new information about a deadly amtrak train collision in south carolina over the weekend. what we're learning about the moments before that crash just ahead and what really happened to natalie wood? why investigators are taking a closer look at her husband nearly 40 years after her death. >> the version of events he has portrayed in the media we told
8:22 am
the original investigators and portrayed since then don't add up to what we found.
8:23 am
8:24 am
8:25 am
>> jon: right now the national transportation safety board sex am inc. the data recording from the amtrak train involved in the deadly crash in south carolina over the weekend. they recovered it undamaged and were able to successfully download the information. >> seven seconds before the end of the recording the train horn was activated for three seconds. at that time the speed was 56 miles per hour and as we said yesterday the allowable track speed was 59 mile-per-hour.
8:26 am
>> jon: the train's engineer and conductor were killed in the crash and more than 100 people were injured when it ran onto a side track and rammed into a parked, unoccupied freight train. >> julie: a last ditch effort to find out what really happened in the drowning death of actress natalie wood. investigators say her death is suspicious. william la jeunesse is live in los angeles with the latest on this one. >> evidence points to husband robert wagner. police say he is a person of interest, not a suspect. let me explain why police say his story doesn't add up. natalie wood did not know how to swim and talked about her fear of the water. thanksgiving weekend 1981 witnesses say they heard wagner and wood arguing on the yacht in catalina harbor. wagner told police natalie took a dingy into town and disappeared. police say she didn't know how to drive or start the dingy, no one heard it start and she only
8:27 am
left in a nightgown and socks in a rainstorm and rough seas. hours later police found her dead floating a mile away. autopsy showed bruises on her forearm, knee and the coroner called it an accidental drowning and did not check her fingernails for paint or flesh. wagner said she must have slipped and hit her head getting into the dingy. once missing the boat's captain said wagner wanted to go topside and drink rather than look for his wife. >> when he suggested we should turn on the light to look for her he said no. instead of saying no let's look for her. he said we should call somebody, no, let's wait. and he is on a boat himself. he can unhook his own boat and look for her. he doesn't even do that. >> wagner turns 88 this week. his attorney claims he is innocent but refuses to answer questions from police. >> we want to talk to robert
8:28 am
wagner and hear his version of events. the version of events he has portrayed in the media the original investigators he told portrayed since then real -- really don't add up to what we found. >> accident or murder? police don't have the accident to prove either one. yesterday's news conference was their last shot finding a new witness 37 years later. >> julie: thank you, william. >> jon: still ahead a huge vote on capitol hill today. can lawmakers gain any footing on immigration that will help them avoid shutting down the government? plus wikileaks founder julian asang back in the headlines. could his confinement at the embassy in london be coming to an end?
8:29 am
needed to do to get an estimate was snap a photo of the damage and voila! voila! i wish my insurance company had that... wait! hold it... hold it boys... there's supposed to be three of you... where's your brother? where's your brother? hey, where's charlie? charlie?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you. liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance.

8:32 am
its technology was engineered (beeping). while its design was meant to be seen. experience the new 2018 lexus nx, and the nx hybrid. experience amazing, at your lexus dealer. >> julie: a british judge making a ruling this morning on whether or not to scrap the arrest warrant for wikileaks founder julian assange. the move would free him to leave the ecuadorian embassy in london. greg palkot is reporting live in london with more. hi, greg. >> we've been tracking that court proceeding. it is still going on but it seems that wikileaks founder julian assange will still have to face some music. he faced a rape charge in sweden back in 2010. came to the u.k. shortly after
8:33 am
that. was arrested here and faced extradition and jumped bail in 2012 and since then hold up in the ecuadorian embassy. since then the investigation has ended in sweden because it was dragging on so long the basis of his lawyer's argument today. the u.k. judge so far hasn't been moved saying that jumping bail is a stand alone offense. just to make things more complicated even if the court ruled in assange's favor today no guarantee he would step out of his prison because he is worried america might arrest him for leaking information. we're awaiting the final results today. the court proceeding, it might be that he would be tried in being absent. now he is staying point is all we know. >> julie: thank you.
8:34 am
jon. >> jon: bipartisan deal to help the so-called dreamers struggles to gain footing in congress as lawmakers today vote on short term funding to keep the government open past this friday. immigration is key to the vote. the proposal stops short on president trump's primary demand. >> i have to give it to senator coons and mccain congratulations. it takes a special kind of person to write a bill that is worse than graham-durbin. they did it. you have to have a border wall and security package. >> jon: joining us now josh holmes former chief of staff to mitch mcconnell and the policy director to general chuck schumer and co-founder of third way. thank you both for being here. jim, going to start with you. the president has offered essentially amnesty to 1.8 million people. he has angered many people on
8:35 am
his own base in the process. what more do democrats want him to do? >> i think we have to be honest. donald trump doesn't really want a deal on immigration. i'm not saying it to cast blame on donald trump. there has always been the tale of two trumps on this. he came close to a deal with pelosi, schumer, durbin and graham and then he backed away. there is a nativeist side to them. he talked about ms-13 at the state of the union and half a sentence talking about russia. and this nativeist trump has taken over. he doesn't really want a deal. i think these are false steps he is putting forward right now just to make it seem like he wants a deal. but there is no deal forthcoming. he doesn't want it to happen. >> jon: i'm not sure, josh, if anybody wants it to happen. the president has given them seven months to come up with some kind of language. congress is supposed to write the laws after all. and here we are coming up on
8:36 am
the deadline and nothing has happened. >> what my good friend jim is ignoring here is we're not even two weeks removed from the white house, president trump releasing a pretty critical step in bringing together two sides here with a proposal that not only provides protections for daca recipients and their immediate family but also provides border security funding and much-needed reforms to the chain migration system. this is not only a reasonable deal but one anybody following this topic for any period of time knows that's where it has to land in order to get it done. i think the president is in the right spot here. who is not in the right spot there seems to be an awful lot of confusion by members of congress introducing their bipartisan plans. all the plans in the world are irrelevant if they don't have the support of the president of the united states. that's where we are at this point. i don't think it will happen by the february 8th deadline for funding but i have
8:37 am
encouragement we'll get there before march 5. >> jon: speaking of the president since we began in newscast he has been tweeting his thoughts on all of this, sort of rare mid-morning tweets for him. he writes polling shows nearly 7 in 10 americans support an immigration reform package. that includes daca, fully secures the border, ends chain migration and cancels the visa lottery. if democrats oppose this deal they aren't serious about daca, they just want open borders. i'll read one more in a second, jim. why don't you react to that one. >> if you want to have a deal, you can go three different ways. you can go small, you can go medium and large. but if you are going to go small on one end you have to go small on the other end. democrats get something they want, daca. that's kind of small size and then democrats give on something that is relatively small let's say the border wall. trump is saying i want everything. chain migration, entire
8:38 am
immigration package and i will give you basically 15% of what you want just dealing with daca. that's not really how deals are made. so that's why i feel it's phony, this is the trump not wanting to deal coming out here. >> just so we're clear here. what the president is specifically talking about is a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers. that isn't a little deal. that's a significant deal. >> it's 15% of the undocumented immigration problem. he wants 100% of solution on the security side for it. >> that's not 100% of the security deal. there are plenty more republican wants and needs that are going to happen on the border security front. but look, if you just separate that and take the chain migration issue, the 1.8 quickly becomes 4 million if you don't deal with that. we aren't dealing with 15% we're dealing with 60%. so look, this has to be
8:39 am
addressed in a package. as the president rightly pointed out that's where the american people are as well. >> that's where democrats and republicans were in 2013 when they passed the comprehensive immigration bill that the freedom caucus in the house killed that did all of those things and if we could just put that bill on the table we could sign it and that deal dealt with chain migration and merit immigration and all the illegal immigration problem. we could do that again. but the president is trying to get -- not trying to get 100% of the security wish list. he is trying to get 80% of the security wish list. daca is 15% of the problem. you get 15% of the security solution on the other side. that's the way deals work. >> listen, he has the pen and the republican control of congress. you don't make up the rules if you're in the minority here. you have to make a deal. >> you need 60 votes. maybe it won't be 15% for 15% but it won't be 15% for 80%. >> jon: let me read you the
8:40 am
second tweet from the president again in the last 20 minutes or so. he writes we need a 21st century merit-based immigration system. chain migration and the visa lottery are out dated programs that hurt our national and economic security. we'll have to leave it there. we got you both equal time. thank you very much. >> julie: face-off with north korea, what the vice president is saying that he is willing to do to calm things down. interesting. we'll take a look. mistaken identity causing problems for one employee with hawaii's emergency agency. he is balking at being blamed for the false missile alert. >> overall after the incident they received a number of threatening calls in various natures. upset people. people threatening physical or bodily harm to the employees here.

8:44 am
>> jon: an employee at the hawaii emergency agency wants to set the record straight after he says the associated press used a photo of him in their reporting of the false incoming ballistic missile alert causing people to mistake him for the one responsible. now he says he is the target of harsh and unwarranted criticism. >> it was very upsetting knowing that people would assume by looking at a photograph, not knowing the procedures, not knowing the person of myself that i was the person that caused the false alert. >> jon: he says he is an innocent victim. the employee responsible for sending out the false alert was fired. >> julie: before heading to south korea for the winter games vice president pence says he will not rule out speaking
8:45 am
with north korean officials while attending the olympics stressing the importance of what it means for the world. >> north korea must once and for all abandon its nuclear weapons program and ballistic missile ambitions and exceed to the wishes of nations across the world to abandon those ambitions and enter the family of nations. north korea can have a better future than the militaristic path of provocation and confrontation that it is on. better for its own people, region and peace. >> julie: michael, great to see you as always. first of all, what is the likelihood of the vice president actually meeting with north korean representatives on the sidelines of the winter olympics? >> it's probably not bad, not good. somewhere in the middle but i
8:46 am
think the question really would be what would he say? and we just heard a very emphatic, strong statement by the vice president that you played which is perfectly reasonable to an american ear and it has the moral high ground. i don't think it's a realistic basis for negotiation. north korea won't give up its nuclear weapons entirely in the first instance. we need a more realistic strategy for an interim deal that would freeze their production of new capabilities but recognize they don't want to give up their bombs. they saw what happened to hussein and qaddafi and people like that. they want this weapons program and see it as a necessary deterrent. you might be able to get them to stop making more bombs but i don't think you'll be able to eliminate all the bombs in the first instance. certainly not with the amount of economic pain they suffered so far which is relatively modest, i think. >> julie: pence will be traveling to south korea later this week. he hasn't yet requested any
8:47 am
meeting per se. secretary of state tillerson said we'll see when asked whether u.s. officials might actually meet with north korean officials. what do you think he meant by that? >> well, i think secretary tillerson has been thinking through what's a realistic negotiating strategy. i haven't met with him. my sense is he is trying to stay open minded. it doesn't necessarily represent a concession for the united states simply to have a conversation. the real question is what kind of a deal would we be willing to consider and on what terms and, you know, the interim deal i'm proposing we shouldn't give too much to get. we shouldn't give away too much for them to freeze their existing nuclear stockpile where it is and stop their ballistic missile testing. it is all in the details what do you give up to get some kind of deal? i think the secretary of state has been thinking that through with a pretty open mind. i commend him for that. >> julie: you have to wonder pyongyang beginning talks with south korea for the first time
8:48 am
in two years. yesterday pence said we'll ensure whatever cooperation exist between north korea and south korea. how might that affect i guess talks between the united states and north korea? how might talks between the north and south help pave that way to that happening? >> it could help or hurt. a challenge for the alliance. some people will want to see this mini olympic detente as a meaningful change in attitude by north korea. most of us at brookings and others in the u.s. are skeptical and would see it as a way for north korea to try to ease up some of the pressure, the economic pressure that the world is increasingly applying and i give president trump credit for having largely orchestrated that tightening of sanctions but it hasn't bit that hard yet. north korea is trying to look reasonable so the world will be less likely to turn those screws further. we have to be careful that
