one writer, by the way, called nunes' memo on steroids. shannon bream and the "fox news @ night" team is here to take it away. >> shannon: laura, thank you very much. here's what we have coming up tonight. >> i would shut it down over this issue. >> nobody wants another major one except him. >> shannon: the standoff over immigration puts the u.s. government on the verge of another shutdown. peter doocy is following the latest. today, president trump deciding what to do with the democrat's response of the g.o.p. memo alleging abuses of the surveillance system. a private meeting with deputy rod rosenstein. plus the fbi blocking details of the author of the so-called dirty dossier. analysis of tom dupree, a former top justice official under president bush. then a follow-up on the shocking death of indianapolis colts

linebacker edwin jackson. questions about the drunk driver and issues of deportation live in a "fox news @ night" exclusive. hello, and welcome to "fox news @ night." i am shannon bream in washington. earlier today, the house moving to vote on a stock out spending bill, but the president threw a grenade into the mix. >> if we don't change it, let's have a shutdown. we will do a shutdown. it's worth it for our country. i would love to see a shutdown if we don't get the stuff taken care of. >> shannon: fox team coverage tonight, ed henry bringing up the latest on memo manual. peter doocy reporting on the looming shutdown aid to elm a fw
12:02 am
weeks away. >> for months, house democrats had tomorrow circled where they will take a two hour bus trip to maryland for a retreat. but the retreat has been canceled because a government sub shutdown is still a possibility. house leaders stuffed some extra pentagon funding into the package so it would have enough votes. that creates a problem in the senate which speaker of the house paul ryan sees it coming. he wrote this. "now i urge the senate democrats to end their filibusters so we can finally provide funding for our men and women in uniform. no more games. the safety and of our service members in the security of our nation is at stake." the two chambers are at odds. the focus has shifted to keeping the government open for a month and limiting certain limits on federal spending. >> we are making real progress on a spending deal that will increase the caps for both
12:03 am
side that the democrats have been fighting for. >> even though democrats agreed to and make the last shutdown last month because they thought there was going to be a daca deal by this coming thursday. the white house chief of staff john kelly has been telling democratic counterparts that if they approve funding for a border wall, and an end to the visa lottery, the trump demonstration will pave a path to 1.8 million daca recipients and those eligible but who never got around to applying. >> i would have to say, that doesn't really matter now. because president trump has given them the status. >> that line didn't sit well with democrats that it's not a big secret immigrant communities wind everybody don't make them like why not everybody would want to out themselves as a legal.
12:04 am
>> they are afraid. does he need evidence why they are afraid? you should look at his people in his own office. >> president trump said he would love to see a shutdown if immigration problems are not solved. his press secretary sarah sanders later explained that the white house won when democrat shut down the white, government over daca last night. it's not something that the president is pushing for. >> shannon: we know in a couple of days. i guess he will stay on it. another wild day on wall street after plunging, the market eventually recovered ending the day with a 557-point gain. that recouped about half of the nosedive the dow took yesterday. let's take a look at what's behind the volatility and how a potential shutdown could impact the market. brian bradberry, the chair of the program in business and finance for king's college will join us live. breaking tonight, new allegations involving the dirty
12:05 am
dossier and how much the fbi may have relied on that when getting those fisa surveillance warrants. president trump met today with deputy attorney general rod rosenstein in differences between a republican memo that explains the spy powers and the democrat memo that counters at narrative for this is after president trump refused to rule out firing the deputy attorney general . >> shannon, great to see if you're just breaking tonight, we are getting our hands on a less redacted version of the criminal referral that senator chuck grassley sent to the justice department last month about christopher steele. it shows us that the fda relied heavily on steele's first dossier to get a fisa warrant. the fbi frequently represented to the fisa court that steele did not have unauthorized contact with media outlets. that was simply not true. that's why grassley is seeing
12:06 am
whether or not he broke the law, christopher steele, by lying to the fbi. the clock eventually taking, the president has the democrat's memo in his hands. he will decide to block or rescind all of the memo in his hands. they will begin the process of renewing the differences between the republican and democrats' memo to figure out how much sensitive information should be redacted. the fact the president is working with rosenstein shows democrats like congressman adam schiff have been exaggerating trying to fan the flames of chaos by charging the president was going to fire rosenstein and spark a constitutional crisis because of the deputy attorney general's appearance in the republican memo. as for the democrats' memo, a source that has seen it and read it believes a trap has sorta been set for the president politically, because of the democrats' memo is filled with sources and methods within the intelligence community, a potentially tactical move by the president to force the commander-in-chief to either stop or lease of their memo or make major attractions read ack
12:07 am
like is not being transparent. looking to unseal the underlying documents that led to the surveillance of former trump advisor carter page. he's speaking out in a extrusive with our own laura ingraham last night and on abc charging that the fbi and obama administration shredded the constitution. >> the probable cause that keeps tripping out and it's been further substantiated with the friday first memo is that it was based on that dodgy dossier. which was a political stunt. >> it was clean relative to sources and methods. my initial cut is that this one is a lot less clean. but at the end of it all, rob rosenstein, chris wray from the fbi. >> to see what to redact from the democrats' memo. nancy pelosi introduced a
12:08 am
realization to disapprove of the republican memo from congressman devin nunes. it was voted down. sarah sanders defended the claim that the first memo vindicated him. shows, in her words, political bias in the russia probe. >> shannon: thank you. let's bring in fox news politics editor and author of the "have to report," chris stirewalt. how are you tonight? >> living the dream. >> shannon: we are glad to have you with us. as all of this is coming up, the memo back and forth, the white house considering what to do with it, do you think as some do that the democrats have laid a trap for the president in this memo a lot longer than the republican memo, there are allegations it contains methods that the white house will have to think about protecting. if they turn out a method that has reductions reactions -- vehicle i don't think it will matter to one hill of beans to anyone whose mind is not already made up. the problem you have with these
12:09 am
kind of issues, the republicans know very intensely about it. the democrats to feel a very intensely about it. they are very much set about how they feel. meanwhile, the rest of the country is watching things that actually matter. the back and forth between partisans on one side and partisans on the other about 30, dotted -- full of claptrap, doesn't add up to the important questions of do schools get better, do people have health insurance, do good jobs, good wages, our elections are secure? with good reason, big chunks of the country look at washington at a moment like this and say, guys, what are you doing quick to make what you guys focused on? the answer is almost always barbarous partisan politics. >> shannon: do you think how we've referenced earlier, we won't even be talking about these memos? do you think because there is a constant scandal and pays crisis, do these have staying power?
12:10 am
>> these are little after aperteif -- the only circle this that matter. the rest of this stuff, it's interesting to watch the interplay, interesting to watch the political posturing. there is two big things we are looking for, inspector general's report at the justice department on the way into hillary clinton's mishandling of state secret. one. and james coleman, going to have some pretty dope tweets -- be when he's working on them right now >> we just have to wait before we reach conclusions, we have to wait and see what the pros do and what kind of work they come up with. >> shannon: in the meanwhile, we talk about how much this impacts the integrity and rotation of our intel agencies. i thought it was interesting. quinnipiac has new numbers on this. do you think you can trust u.s. intelligence agencies to do what is right or not? over all, 61% say yes.
12:11 am
if you break that down by party, a majority of republicans, 56%, said yes. democrats, 76%, say yes. a lot of folks out there still have faith. the rank-and-file people here doing what they need to do, i trust them to do it well. >> used on similar or better numbers. here's what we really care about. what are independents doing, what are -- by the way, the plurality of the electorate. they have high confidence in law enforcement, very high confidence in the judicial system, very high confidence in the fbi. these are institutions that americans who are not sucked too far down the pipe on partisanship still put a lot of stock in. they still have a lot of credibility. do you know who does not have a lot of great ability? >> shannon: congress. >> congress. >> shannon: across the board. >> the last few weeks did not help. what should be good for both -- these voters overwhelmingly believe that neither republicans
12:12 am
-- republicans did wars, but neither's were putting country i had a party. that's what they are supposed to do. >> shannon: yes or no, shut down. >> we are going to have some more shutting down into when 18. isn't this weekend? i hope for your sake, yes. [laughter] >> >> shannon: our pajamas until we get it resolved. the democrats waiting for the democrats -- former deputy assistant tom dupree joins us live to talk about that. tom, always good to see you. >> shannon: could see you, shannon. >> shannon: white house making clear repeated statements, we handle this the exact same way we handle the memo. we are going to to to this fai. what are we doing at this point? >> >> there's a lot of pressureo put something out.
12:13 am
the question is will there be read to action and how much? the white house is taking the correct approach, they are going to apply the same standard to the republican memo. that's the right way to do it. do it by the book. this whole process has been painted. i think the white house needs to do whatever it can to see how much information it can push out there. things that have to be redacted to protect our sources, protect our intelligence methods. by all means, do that. it raises a lot of pressure to get something out the door the next few days. >> shannon: you know this time last week there was a lot of pressure to not release the g.o.p. memo. here's what house minority leader nancy pelosi said last week. >> if he were to release the memo, not only would he be endangering our country, he would also be violating the rules of the congress of united states. >> shannon: it will be dangerous, endangering our country. a lot of people -- a lot of
12:14 am
democrats talking about it would reveal potential national security interests, that kind of thing. on that front, it didn't seem once we got it there was much to that. but can they come in tonight, i don't hear much from the mainstream media or the left cautioning that it's more detailed, much longer, more in depth, would cause many of the same problems. >> the same thing occurred to me in, shannon, we heard so much concern and criticism. a lot of it was fair making sure the republican memo did and somehow inadvertently leak that information. now that that she was on the other foot, the same voices that were calling for caution ad concern are notably silent. i think the white house needs to look at this bring my understanding that this memo is far longer than the three and a half, four-page nunes memo. there might be more information that we need to take a look at to make sure it can make the light of day. >> shannon: the idea this president should be interviewed, should sit down commission and sit down with special counsel mueller or his team.
12:15 am
what are the arguments against him doing it and what are the arguments for or make him doing it? >> sure. the argument against him is pretty much what is to be gained? as a possible perjury trap, you don't quite get the question. before you know it, you get socked with some sort of false statement or perjury charge. you are just creating possible legal vulnerability for yourself. the best thing to do is to stay silent for that's the argument of not having to do it for the argument having him to do it is this simply is not an ordinary case. we know the president is a fighter. we know the president wants to get his story out. he's not afraid of bob mueller proven he wants to look bob uhler in the eye and say there is no collusion here. i can see from the public's perspective, at the president were to say i'm sitting down with bob mueller and saying there's no collision, that would send a strong message to the american public he has nothing to hide. in my view, the equity is in favor of having him talk to mueller, but i do understand the concerns expressed by his
12:16 am
lawyers for they are saying the exact thing that any reasonable lawyer would advise our client and the situation. there's a lot of risk here. >> shannon: i would say the same thing. and you're in much better lawyer than i am. former rnc finance chair steve wynn is resigning from his namesake result. "the wall street journal" reporting thousands of accusations against the vegas vegas in a small bowl. at the time, he called the allegations of stress and later resigned. an unceremonious career who built some of the most iconic casinos on the strip including the mirage, the bellagio, and the wynn las vegas. space x rocket falcon having lunch this afternoon with precious cargo on board. a tesla roadster at elon musk wanted to send out. hoping it had doubled the lift off punch with a couple of 27

12:22 am
>> shannon: can you give us some perspective on what happened this week? >> context is important to reverses this time last year, the market is still up over 20%, we are still in a very good spot. today, we are basically on the place we were at the beginning of january. january was an extra in every month. we saw of run-up of hundred points in the dow. markets were bound to correct them that a little bit. we saw that yesterday, but we saw the markets bumped back. even though it's hard to believe given the last year, markets do go down occasionally and we are starting to finally see that. >> shannon: what would you say a primary factory in this instability? a lot of people want to point the fingers at washington. there's so much unfinished business here. is that inside the beltway thinking or are there over, and other global interest impacting this? what's happening? >> it has more to do with a friday job report. there was one key number, which
12:23 am
is growing faster than they have since the beginning of the recession, which is really good news for main street. but wall street looks at that and says, i think inflation might go up a little bit more this year, which means interest rates are going to write a little bit more this year. that makes wall street nervous. what happens is we got good news from main street. wall street took it as bad news, they started thinking ahead to 2018. that's why we saw some of the gyrations in the stock market. they are going to get used to that. that's why i think you will see the market continued to move up. it might be a more bumpy ride in 2018, but you are continuing to see it go up because the underlying economy remains so strong right now. >> shannon: the president has talked endlessly about how other markets are doing on his tenure. he said, he rolled out regulations, gives businesses stability in areas. the tax cut, those are all things that could be driving the market. he could've never missed taking credit because he has to own what's happening the last few days. i want to read something from
12:24 am
dan albert, managing partner at westwood capital. trump says all along that him take responsibility are as ridiculous as him blaming it if it goes down. it would not have driven if not for fairly good corporate earnings and everything that goes along with that. trump truly doesn't understand any of this. he doesn't understand what's going on in the financial market. he's a businessman, though, brian. what your take on those comments? >> i think it's a tall plan to say that the president doesn't know was going on the financial markets. president trump has chosen to talk about the stock market a lot. that means you have to own it when it comes goes up and you o own it when it goes down for the underlying economy here, economic growth, jobs, consumer confidence, business confidence, these things are very, very high levels. much of that has to do with policy moves like cutting corporate taxes, like repealing regulation. look, you can criticize the president all you want for
12:25 am
hitching his wagon to the stock market. the fact is really, all he has to do is point to the real underlying economy where we have so much strength and say that's what my policies aim at pure that's ultimately what drives these corporate profits, which as a person you mentioned just said, that's what drives the stock market to what corporate profits are based on, tax form and regulation. it fits together here. >> shannon: tomorrow is a new d. we will see how the markets wake up in the meantime, brian, we appreciate it. >> good to be here. >> shannon: some canadian lawmakers voted to make the canadian national anthem gender neutral. now by mr. justin trudeau has doubled down on our northern neighbors for neighbors political correctness. as is our rich edson. >> secretary of state rex tiller's and is a promising consequences government if it interferes again in u.s. politics. we will have a full recap of our excuse of interview coming up.
12:26 am
12:27 am

12:29 am
12:30 am
>> shannon: u.s. olympian at just 23 years old, tell him i had quite the merger to get some friends in new jersey to the slopes and killing chain in 2014, his airway was blocked during a routine surgery leaving him in a medically induced coma. had to relearn how to read and write and battles with memory loss, but he's not letting his brush with death slow him down. he said "i'm not just going to the olympics, i'm going to win a gold medal." secretary of state directors gerson staying mindful -- tillerson latin american corps made a stop in latin america and sat down with our rich edson who joins us now with details about one-on-one interview. hello, rich. >> good evening, shannon. secretary of state rex tillis and refuses to rule out the possibility of vice president mike pans speaking with north korean officials while
12:31 am
they are in the olympics in south korea. secretary of state also asked by us essentially if the u.s. would initiate a conversation with the north korean officials there. the official only said the vice president is there, and we'll have to see what happens. we also discussed potential russian interference in u.s. election politics. the secretary says they are already seeing signs of such meddling in the 2018 election just like he also said the u.s. could be vulnerable to that like it was in 2016. >> i don't know if i would say we are better prepared. because the russians will adapt as well. if the point is, if it's their intention to interfere, they are going to find ways to do that. we can take steps we can take, but this is something that once they decide they are going to do it, it's very difficult to preempt it. >> as russia continues to support the assad regime in syria, tillerson is only a
12:32 am
change in russian behavior will put an end to the fighting here. >> they are providing air cover for the regime. russia is responsibly responsi. they clearly failed to do that. russia really needs to move into a different place in this. but facts are facts. they need to go into and other spot. >> we also asked the secretary if he has a message for those in the administration who were reportedly looking to push him out. he would only say, i'm still here. shannon, back to you. >> shannon: traveling with the secretary of state. thank you very much. the immigration debate is far reaching and now caught in the cross hairs, the next census count in 2020. trace gallagher joins us to break down some of the uncertainties over getting the accurate population count. this one is a little tricky, trace gallagher trace. >> it is brewed census numbers are used in everything from health care to trust rotation to education, but two of the reasons the constitution
12:33 am
mandates counting up the publish in every ten years is to figure out how to best distribute $675 billion in federal funding to communities across the country, and to draw legislative districts. of course, the number of congressional records representatives each state has plays a part in how many electoral votes each state gets. the department of justice wants to include a question about citizenship status. the doj says it needs the data to better enforce the voting rights act and to protect against racial discrimination. but critics say if illegal immigrants here being deported, they might not participate in the census, which would lead to a huge undercount. that would cause california billions in federal funding and possibly one of its 53 heats in the house of representatives, watch our stomach which are largely felled by -- estimates that california is already very close
12:34 am
to losing a congressional seat and that several states, including arizona, colorado, nevada, texas, in florida could all gain seats in the house. so now democratic lawmakers and civil rights activists are ramping up efforts to urge federal officials to reject the citizenship question, arguing the constitution doesn't say anything about counting up citizens. instead, the goal is to count inhabitants. so we know exactly how many people live here. for context right now, some 22 million foreign-born residents live in the united states. that majority are believed to be here illegally, but the exact number is unclear. a decision on whether to include a question about citizenship status has to come soon. final wording for the 2020 census questionnaire is due by march 31st. shannon? >> shannon: makes a huge difference. trace gallagher, thank you very much. when neil armstrong put the first human foot on the moon, he
12:35 am
said one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. at least that would not fly in canada. >> maternal love is the love that will change the future for mankind -- >> we like to say people kind. it's more inclusive. >> yes, thank you. >> we can all learn from each other. >> shannon: although prime minister justin true bows, it was well-received, it's got plenty of backlash, with some of him accusing him of mansplaining and taking political correctness to a new level. others simply argued that the word "people kind" doesn't actually exist in the english language. taking criticism from members of both parties tonight after the president called some democrats "treasonous," our panel will
12:36 am
wield debate. the death of an nfl player igniting new discussion over immigration. the illegal immigrant accused of killing him and another man while driving drunk. and exclusive reaction from indian

quote
12:38 am
when i received the diagnosis, i knew at that exact moment, whatever it takes, wherever i have to go...i'm beating this. my main focus was to find a team of doctors that work together. when a patient comes to ctca, they're meeting a team of physicians that specialize in the management of cancer. breast cancer treatment is continuing to evolve. and i would say that ctca is definitely on the cusp of those changes. patients can be overwhelmed ... we really focus on taking the time with each individual patient so they can choose the treatment appropriate for them. the care that ctca brings is the kind of care i've wanted for my patients. being able to spend time with them, have a whole team to look after them is fantastic.
12:39 am
i empower women with choices. it's not just picking a surgeon. it's picking the care team, and feeling secure where you are. surround yourself with the team of breast cancer experts at cancer treatment centers of america. visit cancercenter.com/breast appointments available now. .. >> shannon: news tonight. the doj bringing federal charges against the illegal immigrant suspected of killing a former nfl player and his boomer driver
12:40 am
in a drunk driving crash. indianapolis u.s. attorney noted that manuel orrego-savala had previously been deported twice and that attorney general jeff sessions had directed all federal prosecutors to prioritize charging aliens who illegally reenter the country, especially those a risk to public safety or criminal records. edwin jackson, a linebacker who played for the cold, run over early sunday morning along with his boomer driver -- in the indiana senate race. our next asked is running, representative todd rokita joins us. this is a tough case, this is one the president has really started to highlight along with talks about immigration, deportation, daca. he tweeted this. colts linebacker edwin jackson. this is preventable one of pree tragedies. we have to toughen down and get
12:41 am
illegal immigration out fast." where are you on negotiations? >> president trump is exactly right. we've got to get get a lockdown this for this was a printable tragedy. democrats should come to the negotiating table and take up president trump's reasonable solution or something similar. i mean, the days of putting illegal, criminal aliens ahead of the interests of their own constituency, i don't know where it gets them. i don't know where it gets this country. >> shannon: you know, the democrats, they say -- they are talking about this individual for this man convicted of causing a death of two people because he was here illegally and drunk driving. they say, those guys are priorities for deportation for they worry about these things being politicized. >> that's the night and day difference between present and trims administration where filed charges today, doing the right thing, filing federal charges against this man, and the previous administration, the
12:42 am
obama administration where they let go 20,000 of these type of folks who had collectively committed over a 10-000 duis. this is not in isolated and so went. it's about putting your own consistencies over the interest of the legal, illegal, criminal aliens. >> shannon: reggie bush tweeted this today, saying that is disgraceful the president is using the death of edwin jack and to mislead the american people into thinking the issue of crime in america are undocumented immigrants solely to further his racist agenda. how do you respond? >> that's just silly. the people certainly in indiana or on the president's side. this is a tragedy that could be completely averted. all right? this is a man who wasn't supposed to be in this country anyway. if we had the wall built, it would've stopped him, it would help stop ms-13 gang members, help stop drugs coming into this country. it is all about the rule of law.
12:43 am
i will join the president. i will take every opportunity i can to correct bad law. i want to see a good law is actually followed. >> shannon: you pulling out from quinnipiac. all kinds of interesting tidbits in here, what do you think the trump administration, how do you think they are deporting people here illegally, 44% say they've been too aggressive or at 11% said not aggressive enough. 37% say they been appropriate with it. but it's interesting. when you break it down by party, there's a huge divide when you ask how they been too aggressive. republicans only 12% think so, 75% of democrats think the president has been too aggressive. when you ask if they've acted appropriately, 65% republicans say yes, but democrats, only 17% say. why is this such a partisan issue? >> it shows which party is for the rule of law, which party is for the citizens of this country. on the other side of it, which party isn't on the rule of law, which party is in for citizens, but instead for illegals.
12:44 am
we are either going to be a country that's rule of law or not. and what president trump is suggesting, and i quickly agree with him. this is what i'm going to do when i go to the u.s. senate, we are going to be a country of laws again. but the people are above the government. not subject to it. >> shannon: even went we are seeing in this -- he can get is a republican president talking in the state of the union talking about everyone is going to a compromise, no one's going to get what they want. >> that's what a negotiation is. you give up a little to get a lot. what we need to get out of this is a guarantee that the wall will be built. there's no sense in doing this, doing any type of daca deal or anything else if you are going to allow the problem to happen again -- >> shannon: will democrats give you that? i mean, will they meet you -- >> it will the democrats abide by the rule of law or will democrats put citizens above the legal criminal aliens? that's the question.
12:45 am
i think if they want to win make an election ever again, they ought to about illegal, criminal aliens. >> shannon: congressman, thanks for coming in. good to see you. who saw how cool he democrats are -- the president is coming under fire from members of his own party over what he had to say about nancy pelosi and other democrats behaved during his speech. the white house as he was joking, but some argue it as loud laughing matter. we will debate. >> can recall that treason? why not.
12:46 am
12:47 am
12:48 am
12:49 am
>> shannon: just last week, the president making calls for republicans and democrats to come together in a state of the union address. >> i call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people. >> shannon: but at a rally in ohio monday, president trump blasted democrats who did not clap or stand during the address. >> they were, like... death. and un-american! un-american. somebody said "treasonous." i mean... i guess, why not?
12:50 am
can recall that treason? why not? i mean, they certainly didn't seem to love our country very much. >> shannon: there was some smiling in there as he said it. the white house says the comments were made in jest. democrats are not laughing, they aren't alone. richard fowler is a syndicated radio host, both of them are fox news contributor's. >> shannon: that was at least thursday. it's great to see you guys. it's not the democrats calling president out on this. this is what g.o.p. senator jeff flake out of arizona have to say on the senate floor today. >> mr. president. respect is earned, not commande commanded. applause signals approval of an idea. not loyalty to one's country. our democratic colleagues love this country as much as we do.
12:51 am
