they say he should have known that the staff secretary with very close access to the president as the -- allegations for them to ask his past. >> from what i understand, john kelly stories he did something that in the first 40 minutes after the first 14 months of ignoring it. that's unacceptable to the fact is there's no way he didn't know about it. it's up to his neck in it and he chose not to deal with it and that is not competent. we brought this guy and a lot of us thought to put order in the white house could wait that kelly was the guy who could manage the place. reporter: these allegations are outrageous and simply false. he resigned on when they ours after pictures were made public of one of his ex-wives a black eye she says was inflicted by him. white house officials say porter denied the accusations to the president and chief of staff kelly before the pictures came

out. today, one of trump's advisers, kellyanne conway says the president was disturbed by what he sees in these pictures were not to say you can still see someone did a great job for you. eboni. eboni: thank you for the update, molly. leland: president trump two releases proposal tomorrow and let the framework for his infrastructure initiative. let's bring in texas congressman jodey jodey arrington. mick baldini will be there on when day. seems to be missing out of any of these budget proposals come in spending bills, infrastructure plans is any sense of fiscal responsibility. >> this is my first term in congress and their first budget, my first budget as a member of the committee we actually cut mandatory spending, which by the way 70% of all the budget, $200 billion more than we have. >> these numbers go on and on. it's also what happened in the

national debt keeps going up and up and this is something you said sa shackle american for next-generation. where is the political courage to deal with it? >> i agree with it. when you send a budget that reduces a simple majority of the senate cannot even were they hiding behind a 60-vote rule and they can't get that done, i'm concerned. we have to have the president in both house and senate behind reducing deficits. listen, we talk about our troops. there were two threats to the future. national security and defense in making sure they have -- leland: understand the defense argument. we are going to get funding for the troops, have to give them cookies on the other side of president trump said that in his suite. how long does that excuse work with the american people? >> i think the public has to put pressure on all politicians from all sides for us to be able to

do that because clearly they give folks a pass on it. leland: when is it the responsibility of an individual congress income a first term are to stand up and say i'm not going to vote anymore for this runaway spending? when does that responsibility kick in? >> i don't think either the politics of the national debt when you have troops woefully unprepared, ill-equipped and their safety the line. we put them in the gap for her safety and security and freedom so the first thing is get them what they need. where do we go from here? >> now is the time. >> this president, the republican party not talking about reforming social security, medicare and medicaid in dealing with these massive entitlement programs here they are on infrastructure spending, more spending on different programs. >> when you get past the defense

spending and national security, border security as well. at what point is tax reform, infrastructure, some point you've got to say enough is enough and now we say that. but this budget you have to have reconciliation and you got to reduce mandatory spending. >> you have to do what you say. from the cbo oversight hearing. our spending spree is out of control, but unless you give us a little pill that we can all take that will give us a boost in our political courage, i don't know what you could help us with this. i think this has to be the united takes congress saying enough is enough, it stops now and we are going to safety garter children's future. anyone on capitol hill found that teacher yet? >> they need help from our president. most of them do. if we just had a picture of our children in front of us at every committee hearing, maybe that would remind us.

>> you can feel free to look in on this. essentially, our representatives are putting their own political future and political ease ahead of america's future. >> let me put it this way. whether to figure out what the motives are, i would tell you it is not being done. we criticize bca for the caps and sequestration. the budget cap, budget control act, put caps on spending when we go over those caps. the reason that didn't work was because you included the feds. you can't do that to defense and that's been a problem but it's a tool that supplied correctly. >> are we nibbling around the edges if you're not going to do with social security, medicare and medicaid, who cares. >> i'm part of the generation that when this thing makes it collision in insolvency, it would have my generation. i am all in on these things.

entitlement reform, welfare reform. >> a lot of republicans say they are than we have would have been so far in washington. appreciate you being here and your service to the country. to the right here after our show to catch "fox news sunday." you saw soundbite of chris wallace talking to mick mulvaney about tomorrow's rollout of the white house budget plan in the very same question we just talked about was mick mulvaney coming out. eboni: crying foul over president trump lock in their memo but the white house fired back saying it is the dams that are playing political games. ellison barber is here at the latest. reporter: hi, eboni. in an attempt to stop information that makes the president look bad. >> the president doesn't want to see the underlying facts. what is revealed in our memo or

quotations from the very fisa application that really demonstrates just how misleading republicans have been. their goal here is to bet the fbi on trial, bob mueller's investigation on trial in the president is only too happy to accommodate. >> represented adam schiff on the house intel committee says the fbi and doj acted appropriately when they saw fisa campaign adviser carter page. the white house has president trump is inclined to release the democrat memo, but unable to do so at least for now because they contain numerous properly classified an especially sensitive packages. they will redact things, that he believes the president is being hypocritical. >> republicans write a memo which the fbi quite accurately describes as misleading and omitting material facts. department of justice says it would be reckless to release this and the president says i'm going to release a before you read it i'm going to release it.

this is a president who puts his own personal interest about the national security interest of the country. we will sit down with the fbi and go through concerns they have. >> the rebuttal to the now declassified memo which accuses the fbi and doj of misusing their surveillance authority. the primary lawmaker behind a memo, chairman devin nunes says democrats are the ones playing games. >> the democrats have been on tv all weekend long. their memo stating that the house intelligence committee waiting to be redacted. if they wanted to get out they would be down there all day yesterday redact the net. >> nuñez in a number of other democrats want the president to release the democrats amendments. >> thank you for that report. we will not bring our fair and balanced panel, david dibella chirped gopac and strategist and chauncey wright right, thank you for joining us.

>> afternoon. eboni: awesome, great. the dems are saying bring it on, president trump. they want the release of the memo so they say. i will take it up with antwan in a second. do you think when you have to weigh the political potential advantage can i say it is damaging to their credibility come the fbi and doj as has been asserted thus far. but when you weighed against i don't know national security interest in the other reason the president is currently signing he won't release that committee think it should be released? >> there's only one investigation one set of fact-finding that matter in all of this and mrs. bob mueller's investigation. he is the professional counsel put in place to investigate whether these allegations are true and in a year of investigating, we have found nothing that said just the contention that somehow the term campaign and the russian government somehow colluded to cost hillary clinton on election

and that can't be said enough. that is how this started and now one thing has been proven that somehow that happening. now we have the leading democrat in the senate who he has been in touch with the russian oligarchs. it means both sides sometimes try to score political points which goes back to the key point to more investigation is the only one that matters. >> turning to you about the more investigation, a lot of americans feel like they don't know what to believe and from whom and they are questioning the credibility of the fbi, mueller and his investigation and the doj and a lot of the credibility questioning is coming from this gop memo. you think the dems now can rebut that can rehabilitate the credibility? >> eboni coming you said something key when you set a lot of people are questioning the mueller investigation.

that is the whole point of donald trump, some of the rhetoric we've heard from him and republicans controlling congress as the beat down to minimize what they are doing. absolutely. eboni: but antwan, let's go back to the gop memo. it is devastating, is it not, to the gop. >> keep in mind is a partisan memo by the republican-controlled congress, a memo that the fbi and department of justice have grave concerns about been released. it doesn't mean anything. the democratic memo needs to be released. wish that both sides on the table and we knew this was going to happen when you release the memo and one-party blocks the fact that the other memo can be released. >> we know they want it released. what do you say in reference to that? do you think republicans would be in favor as well? >> it doesn't matter whether it's released or not.

he goes on tv 10 times a day to tell you what ultimately would be in the memo. everyday congress has another investigation and tries to do at the mueller investigation is really doing. it's another dollar at another day that can't actually be put on doing things -- eboni: david -- one second. do i hear you saying that he is a wash, that's certainly the partisans of both of these memos would make them both equally irrelevant and we should only be concerned with the mueller investigation? >> what i'm saying is we are ready know what shift is memo. he goes on and talks about it every day. mark warner talking everyday about what he thinks the problems our and why there was collusion over the mueller investigation. so let's get back to the real issue here. did russia have an impact on her

election? which gets to why are we not having a discussion about putting more money into cybersecurity to make sure elections are safe. why are we not talking about making sure voter rolls are kept safe which is why russia could have evidence of that. why do we keep this investigation focused on what it's actually about witches did russia have an impact on her election and today -- eboni: final word. i want a yes or no. are part of these memos a distraction from the mueller investigation. david coming you first. >> it does impact certainly what people think about this. but so does the actions of what mark warner has done, would people conducting the investigation have done, obama hacks -- eboni: antjuan. >> it is so hypocritical.

now he's saying we need to let the prosecutor investigation where he found the typical gop strategist and member of congress -- eboni: we are running tight on time. we have to leave it there, but something tells me we'll talk about it much more later. thank you. anti-north korean protest by far right out loud north korean dictator kim jong un, taking place during the winter olympics. they've been criticized by north koreans media. north korea have used the winter olympics as a chance to make the some diplomatic inroads with their southern neighbors. >> later this hour, two-time former olympian jordan loan telling us what it means for the athletes attending games as team u.s.a. now has a gold up out on the scoreboard. eboni: will talk to an aviation expert about just what might have caused a plane with 71 on

board to crash just a few minutes after takeoff near moscow. plus, new details on the shooting death of 20 hi zero police officers, including the frantic 9-1-1 call from the wife of the suspect is now in custody. we'll talk with israeli prime minister n'djamena and yahoo! -- benjamin netanyahu. >> yesterday we delivered to the iranian syrian forces who made it absolutely clear to everyone that the rules of engagement have not changed at all. we will continue on any attempt and that has been our policy and will continue to be our policy.

here's something you should know. there's a serious virus out there that 1 in 30 boomers has, yet most don't even know it. a virus that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. hep c can hide in the body for years without symptoms. left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer.

leland: 71 now confirmed dead over a restaurant in passenger jet that crashed just after takeoff. investigators say the crews to and reporting problems before the crash. so far no word. some video there of the wreckage. >> much more insight on this. for more faa and doj attorney, mark thomas. thanks for joining us. what we don't know right now is

the cause of this tragic fatal crash. let's go through what we do know as we've been reporting here for minutes after takeoff 3300 feet per minute. just a rapid fall from the sky, not being very far after the non-altitude anywhere close. eyewitnesses reporting fire, blaze up from this day what more can you tell us? >> the problem is the fact we really don't know anything, and what will the investigation show. the aircraft because it is a regional jet aircraft, black boxes which are -- eboni: it has been found. >> reports or they have been found. in the cockpit and then you have a flight data recorder which records the number of parameters regarding the operation of the aircraft. i'm sure those are in the process of being returned to the lab where they are being read out. you're absolutely correct that

we know the aircraft crashed about 10 minutes after takeoff during a period of time and should probably still have been claiming to altitude than the rate of descent at that point would be questionable in terms of the fact the aircraft should be climbing. certainly the rate of descent to 3300 feet a minute has been recorded would raise the issue in your mind of a problem. i looked under the circumstances -- eboni: if it's being recorded, real quick, the black box will tell us more, but i'm reading reports that they this pilot is saying there's a mechanical error or a problem in requesting an emergency landing. >> there were three priorities for pilots confronted with an emergency issue in the first is to av coming to fly the airplane can i make sure the airplane stays in the air to the extent they can do that. the second one is to navigate, to understand where they are in terms of over the ground and the

third priority is to communicate. so it is fly the airplane, navigate the airplane, communicate to the ground. the question becomes did the transition take place in the black box, the cockpit will tell us then the issue becomes, what in fact cause this emergency or other circumstance and did the pilot have an opportunity to report anything. eboni: sure. 71 fatalities there feels tremendous for a commercial fire. that is something we haven't seen in 2017 or this year for commercial fires. your take on whether this is indicative of overconfidence of commercial fires or do you think this is more of a contained issue and an outlier. >> that's really a good question. today's world commercial aviation airline operations and this was a pretty sophisticated regional jet aircraft. i don't think it's indicative of

a problem. we have a very safe industry globally, certainly in united days so i don't think it's indicative of some sort of problem industrywide. leland: thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. leland: police in ohio preparing to bury to have around westerville police near columbus, remembering officers eric cherrington anthony morelli, both were shot and killed saturday afternoon after responding to a 9-1-1 call at home with a history of domestic violence. police said the 30-year-old suspect in custody. his wife, the suspect's wife called 9-1-1 again after she says her has been shot the officers. >> 9-1-1 with your emergency. >> these help, please help. >> tell me what's wrong. >> he shot the police officers. >> get someone here, please. leland: the suspect was wounded during the confrontations.

attempt to do is increase their presence right along and as the general said, we will simply not allow that to happen. ever where rent is present in the middle east, we find death and destruction whether it's not that since syria from whether support for hamas and hezbollah. >> letter to read minds you said we will not allow it. it brings israeli military action? >> first of all, will and allow ourselves be fired upon and anytime we are we'll respond kindly. -- timely. they won't allow it in his room won't allow syria to become a forward operating base of the iranian regime, the regime which openly calls for israel's destruction which will be wiped out. we simply have to take these threats seriously even if other people don't. leland: on the right-hand side

of the screen where watching them via video both from israeli apache helicopter shooting down the drone into israel yesterday and then video of the bombing in retaliation over and over again. i know you may not admit to it, but israel has been bombing targets inside area for a couple years now to prevent those transfers of heavy weapons and you never lost a net six and in the process. this is what hezbollah has to say. this is the beginning of a new strategic error, which put an end to the violation is area nurse racing territory, talking about them being able to shoot down the f-16. are they right? do they have to change? is there concern about israeli air superiority? >> this is not a new strategic error. their capabilities have increased, but so has israel's and israel have a very serious and significant retaliation to this unprovoked attack, but it sheds light on a deeper problem and iran with the middle east,

but as the head of the iranian revolutionary guard said, they are on the path to the rule of islam worldwide and islam worldwide demand is the goal of iran, the total domination by radicals come in the total subversion of democracy and that's why it's so important that americans and people all over the world understand the nature of this regime and i'm the one hand they say they're moderate. as the nuclear deal has been signed, with the market increase in iran death, destruction and support for terrorism worldwide. leland: and also willingness to project power as well. one thing we haven't talked about is russia. really in control of syria, certainly one behind bashar al-assad survival the last couple of years. that is how the f-16 was right on by russian-made surface-to-air missiles. i know your boss, the prime minister talked to president putin yesterday. what assurances have been given to you by the russian but

they're not going to allow iran to continue to operate? >> at a very good conversation military cooperation between the two states and that has prevented many tragedies from occurring so it's important for him that national interest. we've never for one second taken our eye off the ball, which is the iranian regime's attempt to calm the middle east and take over syria. leland: david, i understand this. if syria has air defense missiles that can bring down an israeli planes, that is the real threat to israeli national security and durability to stop the group you're talking about in iran. is there a push by the israeli government to tell the russians have got to pull some of the top-notch hardware back? >> prime minister netanyahu and i have had many good conversations on the topic we continue to express our red

lines, but it must be said the command-and-control structure that launched this drone is run by iran and that is why israel had no choice but to take out those command-and-control structures and will continue to levy heavy responses against any provocation against an iraqi missile attacks aimed at israel. leland: reports released yesterday took out a lot of the syria and air defense network with targets prepacked. appreciate you being with us as always, sir. >> thank you so much. eboni: turning to iran, a 63-year-old iranian canadian university professor had died while in custody in tehran. he's been detained since last month after a crackdown on defense. meanwhile, two americans remain captive in an iranian prison today. one of those men, 81 years old. so bad that he was allowed to be the prison for four days in order to seek medical treatment,

but is back in prison now and that has his family very worried. fox news national security correspondent jennifer griffin has more. reporter: in the 81-year-old says he is a political pawn along with his son, an american businessman imprisoned by iran after the nuclear deal in a cruel twist the iranian regime released him for four days because his health was failing. this week i sent him back to iran victorious prison. >> i was stunned when prison officials out of the blue called my mom and demanded that my father report back immediately. >> his son bobby grew up in white plains new york and is by the congress and the white house were held. he said his father faces a virtual death sentence and described his brothers torture and solitary confinement. >> he's been shocked by teasers, tied with threats of a lack of

shock. >> he has been returned to prison. we are concerned about his health. recall for his unconditional release. trinity was lured back to tehran during a visit abroad with the promise of seeing his son in prison three years ago while on vacation in iran. >> i have no doubt because they are americans as the reason they been detained. spinnaker for unicef for more than two decades. they released a statement after he went back to prison this week we continue to be concerned about his deteriorating health to grant him a full and unconditional release on humanitarian grounds. they are not the only american been unjustly detained by iran. this princeton graduate student she along and another american who ran in all gallery in tehran just sentence for 27 years because of his religious

identity. reporter: president trump has vowed to improve sanctions on iran if these american prisoners are not released immediately. at the pentagon, jennifer griffin, fox news. trade to teenage snowboarder becomes the first american gold medal of this year's olympic games for team u.s.a. we will show you and introduce you to this new sensation. in the trump administration looking to make a deal on immigration, what the white house is willing to give democrat. >> we are assuming in her 2018 proposal that a daca deal is done and that a border wall is funded.tw cold... warmer... warmer... ah boiling. jackpot. and if you've got cut-rate car insurance, you could be picking up these charges yourself.

so get allstate, where agents help keep you protected from mayhem... ...like me. mayhem is everywhere. are you in good hands?

leland: the senate takes up immigration this week and report the white house could offer significant concessions to democrats on the issue of daca per "the l.a. times" reporting a possible path to citizenship for

one coin 8 million people brought here illegally as kids are joining us now from the hardest working man in media, larry o'connor, one of five-point man on your am dial here in d.c. did you read all this reporting about the possible white house proposal here in the framework. how well does this play with the magna magna crowd? listen, i'll tell you this. i don't know why the white house is floating some sort of incremental change in the position they are to put forth before the negotiations take place. let's have democrats actually or in some sort of movement from the white house rather than floating about right now. >> attacked republicans in congress and the guys that are well plugged in via tom cotton or others. you get a sense that they are not quite sure where the president is on his. not quite sure where the white

house goalposts are. do you see that as a problem? >> absolutely it is. tom cotton as a person to watch in the senate and he will toe the line in some of these things are the whole idea "the los angeles times" is reporting that the white house is interested in moving illegal immigration limits are proposing a 5000 a year up to 1 million a year. such an arbitrary number let's not forget the hero democrats back in the 90s, she chaired a commission at the behest of president bill clinton and they came up with the number $550,000 -- 550 illegal immigrants. the devil in the details, we land, is who are these 1 million people? are they skilled labor, close family relatives like young children or spouses coming in which women chain migration if it limited to young children. i want to find out who they are coming into the country, not just the number. >> as you point out lately commanded details coming up in

congress to the white house rather than down to the white house to congress to switch the paradigm we've been used to. the president reagan this morning so many positive things going on for the u.s.a. in the fake news media doesn't want to go their same negative stories over and over again in one of the people no longer trust the media's approval ratings are at their lowest level in history hashtag and aga. we will do it the first part of the tree, not the second part. the president has a point that there's not a lot of coverage of big things he's done. at the same time on a friday afternoon his calling a guy who's been accused wife beater, somebody who did a very good job and we wish him very well. as the president create the zone issues that he complains about? >> listen, i know it's hard for the media to understand complex narratives coming out of

washington d.c. like things are turning all, the president has good approval ratings, better than obama did his time in his presidency and actually republicans are looking good. all of that at the same time you've got a white house staffer accused of pretty awful thing. the president's point i think was a sin, there is in fact something called due process in this country. leland: there may be due process and the court of law. not on an fbi security clearance. not due process when it comes to working at the white house. those are different answers. >> i understand. the man is no longer working at the white house. at the same time i know that it's hard to square that circle and anytime you are on the side appear as though you're defending someone accused of spousal abuse, you're in the wrong political argument. there is no winning that argument. however, it is possible the president was speaking -- it's

possible mr. porter did a fine job at the white house despite his horrible past. those are two conflict in ideas. but the appearance is that the president defending his wife beater. >> you point out the difference based on the political argument are very different perception because the reality is you well know. in the city of brotherly love for it all started and we'll see you back in d.c., my friend. >> i've got to go climb some light poles. leland: you never know what happens in philadelphia. >> fly, eagles, fly. leland: eboni. eboni: coming up, and bringing home the gold in an olympic athlete shares his experience is on the grid and international stage.

athletes have been -- these olympic athletes have been spending their entire lives learning to focus and drawnout everything you can change, but not relative to their pursuit at the moment. i think that combined with the electric atmosphere of the olympic games is going to be the last thing on their mind when they step on the lines. eboni: read gerard, name has become a phenomenon, the first to put up on the middle board as you point out winning gold in snowboarding. a very young guys still in his teens. how is that going to change based on fear-based eugenics. in two olympics? >> yeah, when you win an olympic medal, you are thrust into a position of influence and you're able to do lot of things but that at a lot of olympians have gone on to impact their regional communities, national communities, and the nation as a
