arthel: fox news alert. president trump set to unveil his 2020 budget tomorrow. he plans to ask for an additional $8.billion to pay for his -- $8.6 billion to pay for his border wall. eric: welcome on daylight saving time. huge increases in spending for border patrol and i.c.e. as the senate is set to vote this week on a resolution to try to overturn the president's
9:01 am
emergency declaration on the southern border. four republicans who are going to vote with the democrats. among them susan collins. and john barrasso was on with maria bartiromo this morning. >> his veto will be sustained. they will not be able to override the veto of the president. eric: ellison barber is at mar-a-lago where the president is spending this weekend. reporter: a lot of focus on the budget this weekend which we expect to see tomorrow. budgets are typically seen to be
9:02 am
a wish list for any president, but i have gives you a look into the administration priority. it includes something that could lead to. >> the government shutdown, funding for the border wall. he's going to ask for $8.6 billion in wall funding for 2020. and $3.6 billion from the defense budget. >> it's a crisis of economics. a crisis of crime and drugs. a crisis of humanity. he'll stay with his wall and stay with the border security. reporter: the president's proposal will aim to balance the
9:03 am
judge the by 2025. >> we believe the 3% growth rate will continue in 2019 and beyond 2020. the other element is to limit spending, and the president is proposing a 5% across the board in domestic spending. i think it's exactly the right prescription. reporter: john yarmouth told "the washington post" all of this is already considered to be a non-starter in the house. eric: the senators trying to block the resolution include susan collins of maine, and rand paul of kentucky, lisa murkowski and thom tillis.
9:04 am
one major part of the budget, the president is doubling down. he's going from a $1.6 billion for the border wall to $8.6 billion for the border wall. >> i think these are difficult times fiscally and the devil is in the details. i have a concern with that. let me say clearly. i believe we need strong borders. i believe we need the security and safety of our country in place whether it's at the ports or other areas and obviously at the border as well. i believe in that. yet at the same time we have just come to an agreement, $22 billion which is a record amount of money for more man power, technology, more bed and physical structure as well. i would like to see a lot of that get in place, get done, then have the experts analyze
9:05 am
where we are at that point before we rush into doing something else. it's so important as we look at this budget to realize the devil is in the details. we have to look and see how we'll handle all this. we are speaking about a 5% cut. there are many republicans who said that could be problematic. it could be in the areas that are important to most of of the country. that we have to deal with that. we have to deal with all of those issues that deal with our military and military strength and keep that strong. at the same time we have the budget cap and budget deficit and budget debt. so we have money problems. let me just ask a question. so many of your colleagues are against building the wall. chuck schumer voted for the secure fence act that advocated 654 mills of the wall.
9:06 am
now the they want $18 billion. that's what the border agents want. that's what the agency is asking for. why would the members of congress say we are not going to listen to what the folks on the ground are demanding? >> i can't speak for them. but i believe it's something we need we want to make sure we are not spending more money than we should. there are some expert that say the wall won't do everything it's supposed to. here is what i think the answer is. i'll give my pitch for bipartisan action. we just can't seem to do it anymore. people need to sit down together with the experts in an apolitical way, god help us, i don't know if it's going to happen, and figure out what we need. we started for sure.
9:07 am
and the president did get a significant amount of money for sure. if that's what we need to keep us safe, that's something we are willing to look at. but let's make sure before we move on. there isn't a lot of money. as sparse as it is we need to be very, very careful. i'm willing to look at anything. eric: immigration judges as well as infrastructure. >> the judges we need. we have to move these people. in many cases the judges will determine a majority of cases. folks would not come through and the judges would decide if they should go back to their native country. the judges we need, the immigration officers we need. we need a physical border and the electronics and the mechanisms to make sure we keep this border safe. if we could make sure we had a safe border and then we dealt with the daca kid and dealt with
9:08 am
the 11-12 million people who are here. some places are gig driver's licenses and some localities are talking about letting them vote. they should be going through a process like our parent and grandparent did. learn about america, become americans, then you have got a strong border. you have a nation full of americans. eric: what is going on. let's look at the debt clock. $22 trillion. it just zips right up. the blue dogs are concerned about that. how do we rein that in? >> you have to worry about the deficit and the debt. we have to rein it in. one of the interesting factoids here, we are at the point just in our deficit interest we are
9:09 am
funding the military and china with enough money to fund the military in china with the amount of money we owe. we have to be able to do this. if we don't do it. imagine what interest rates -- they will go up a percent or two or three. it will be a huge difference. it could hurt and destroy our whole economy. the way to do it is to start talking by the and get started. at least reverse the trend. we are going in this direction the deficit. but stop and then slowly start to pull our way back. >> the president's plan calls for a balanced budget in 15 years. meanwhile we'll pass it on to our children and grandchildren. >> i hope you and i are still talking in 15 years. i hope we moved in the right direction. whether we are at zero, i would be willing to bet you money it
9:10 am
won't happen. congressman, we thank you for coming on. take care. arthel? arthel: top democrats expressing a renewed sense of urgency to investigate president trump's finances and potential obstruction of justice. this comes in the wake of that explosive testimony from his personal attorney, michael cohen. garrett tenney is live with the details from washington. reporter: the house judiciary committee requested document from 81 entities and individual. this is one of the many investigations the democrats have opened into the president and his administration trying to find evidence for impeachment.
9:11 am
>> the issue is that for two years congress didn't perform oversight of the executive branch and we are constitutionally mandated to do so. republicans while they were in charge simply didn't do it. despite the fact we saw so many rid flags. issues we needed to provide oversight on and they pushed it under the rug. reporter: regarding michael cohen, she says she expects he'll be referred to the justice department for perjury. he told congress he never asked for a pardon. gop senator john kennedy said cohen was right to ask for a pardon, by shouldn't have lied to come about it. >> i think with mr. cohen, given
9:12 am
his checkered past, if he's breathing, he's lying. >> if he's found guilty of perjury he may be spending a bit more time. >> let's bring in john jordan. an economist who served at the hoover institute. now that the house judiciary committee is investigating possible wrongdoing by president trump, obstruction of justice, misuse of office for financial gain. >> the democrats for two years built the narrative that trump beat hillary by collusion with russia. they raised expectations throughout the country. but in particular with their base. the run-up to the election. there are two things the
9:13 am
democrats can't allow. the first is to allow their base to become depressed and disappointed. and they can't allow the story to become that mueller looked away, trump was investigated conclusion didn't happen. the democrats can't afford that wrung up to the election after all the cap today they invested. arthel: more than a dozen intel committees confirmed russia interfered in the 2016 election. so it wasn't just a democratic narrative. >> yes, russia did interfere but that is a different matter from collusion. arthel: i understand that. you said democrats spent all this time trying to say they are angry because they lost the election. but it's proven by the intel agencies there was interference. putin was on stage saying i wanted donald to win. >> there are two things here.
9:14 am
first of all, did the russians interfere? yes, they did. second of all and most of importantly. did that interference actually affect the outcome of the. >> i recollection. f -- the outcome of the election. arthel: i don't want to relitigate why hillary lost. i wanted to throw that fact in there because you made a broad statement that didn't include that. there is a debate going on over the trump children. specifically ivanka and don, jr. if the dragnet sweeps them into the investigation, that they should be off limit. >> they shouldn't be off limits to the extent they are federal employees. but the democrats will have to tread carefully. you start going after family members and it starts to look
9:15 am
like a personal vendetta. the democrats run the risk of offending the public that's on the fence. arthel: on "meet the press," adam schiff said it would be a mistake for special counsel robert mueller to finalize his report without interviewing the president. >> if indeed mr. mueller decide not to issue that subpoena or figure out how to get the president in front of that grand jury, would that be a mistake. >>it is a mistake. i don't think bob mueller should rely on written answers. when you get written answers, it's the lawyers' answers as well as the president's answers and you need to be able to ask questions in real-time. >> the democrats are working to
9:16 am
undermine the credibility of mr. mueller's work. this is mr. schiff trying to move the goal post. saying the investigation isn't valid unless you get an interview. that's mr. mueller's call to make, not mr. schiff's. arthel: where do you think this is going to end up? you made some good points in terms of the political land mines that the democrats face if they push too much. but if they don't push enough, they are not doing their congressional duty. >> i would submit this is an abruce of congressional oversight to begin with. here we are beginning with the premise mr. trump is corrupt and won the election illegally. and now we are trying to fabricate facts to move that point. but the democrats need to be eafl not to overstep and appear that this is sour grapes and
9:17 am
vendettaism. because they could turn off a segment of the american public and make mr. trump the victim. arthel: good point. paul manafort was sentenced to 47 months in prison. what's your reaction to the sentence. 47 months? >> it's th the judge's discreti. the judge found the sentencing guidelines were excessive. that's the prerogative of the judge. it's worth pointing out that these crimes were committed note related any way to mr. trump or his work with mr. trump. and mr. manner to the isn't out of the woods yet. he still has another sentencing coming up and he'll spend some time in jail. arthel: do you think we'll see the same leniency from judge
9:18 am
jackson in d.c.? >> these are two separate cases with two separate convictions and you can't draw an inference. arthel: you think she'll be tougher? >> she has been known to be tougher. but judges have to look at the facts of the case before them. they are look at the probation department's presentence report it looks at the magnitude of the crime and aggravating and mitigating circumstances. arthel: do you think president trump will pardon paul manafort? >> he might have much so at the end of his term whenever that is. i could see that happening. mr. trump does see this as a miscarriage of justice. but he won't do it unless he's out the door if he does it at y.
9:19 am
take care. eric: one week after tornado killed 23 people in alabama. more dangerous weather is tearing through several southern states. a tornado watch affecting several states, arkansas getting the worst of it over this weekend. powerful storms damage several structures taking trees and power lines down. fortunately as of this moment there have been no reports of any injuries. stay with us throughout the hour. we'll have a full forecast for what's expected later on in our newscast. i can't believe it.

9:24 am
eric: national security juster john bolton defending president trump's decision to walk away from the summit with kim been detected at a key nuclear site questions about whether they are preparing for a missile test. >> he and kim jong-un had a number of conversations about what might be done to denuclearize north korea. the president has been clear he doesn't want to make the same mistakes as past administrations. reporter: new satellite images suggest kim jong-un is preparing to launch a missile or satellite near pyongyang. president trump said he would be disappointed if kim would use missile testing one week after
9:25 am
the bottom fell out of the summit. >> they had a full exchange of views as the saying goes, and it was clear they weren't going to reach agreement. what the president did to walk away from a friendly way from the discussion. he said he's prepared to meet kim jong-un again. no date set or anything like that. reporter: the news comes a couple days after the u.s. discovered kim rebuilt the rocket launch site. another sign the situation is deteriorating rapidly in the wake of failed negotiations. bolton, normally a realist is holding out hope. >> it's possible north korea will rethink it position they came in with and come back to talk to the president. reporter: president trump is
9:26 am
standing by his favorite talking point. president trump we'll see what happened. when i came in under the obama administration, north korea was a disaster. you were going to war, whether you know it or not. reporter: north koreans are at the polls for the -- for the second election under kim jong-un's rule. every person over the age of 17 is required to cast their vote in favor of kim's party. then afterwards join a cheering crowd outside the polling station. citizens who resist are tracked down by kim's forces. eric: his regime killed otto warmbier, we should never forget
9:27 am
that. arthel: vermont senator bernie sanders visiting new hampshire where
9:28 am
9:29 am
shutdown. >> i would just say, the whole issue is of paramount importance. so yes, he's going to stay with his wallet is going to stay with the border security. i think it is essential. well, not that fast.

arthel: fox news alert. an ethiopian plane crashing killing all 157 people onboard. authorities say eight americans are among the dead. the plane was heading to nairobi when it plummeted surely after takeoff. the new 730 sevens maxey was involved in another crash in october raising questions about new automatic sync the computer software as pilot training for the new model. très gangsta is following the story from jerusalem. reporter: art doll, this morning the boeing 737 crashed just after takeoff outside of ethiopia. officials say 32 different countries are represented among the people killed in the crash. the plane lost contact with air traffic control just six minutes after takeoff. the flight was headed to nairobi, kenya and normally takes around two hours. they are starting officials to the scene and help a passenger
9:35 am
identification. >> we are here confirmed and that's why we are sending officials to ethiopia with the sourcing of information. >> images from the screen to show debris scattered across the open field with a large hole in the ground from the impact. the ceo traveled to the crash site earlier today and has a statement to the family of those lost in the accident. the first -- the airline is considered a safety record. officials say eight americans were on board this crash. as americans have not yet been identified. the u.s. transportation safety board are going to be having the two assist with this investigation to figure out what went wrong leading to the deaths
9:36 am
of 157 people. arthel: very, very sad. trading, thank you. >> the president has made that case very effectively. it is a crisis of economics. it's a crisis of crime and drugs. it's a crisis of humanity. we have to be much tougher and have more immigration policy. eric: white house economic adviser larry kudlow of course making the case with a $.6 billion for the border while funding included in the president's 2020 budget that to be unveiled tomorrow morning. the president expected to call for cuts in nonmilitary spending. something that will be met with resistance from democrats. what can we expect? jessica chang of the daily mail joins us now. good morning. he's got a brazen demand he went from five points to 9 billion
9:37 am
for the wall. nowadays a .5 billion. what are the chances are he's going to get it? >> usually the president's budget in any year, not specific to this year serves as a goalpost and priority for the administration. as several people have mentioned this morning already about the number and congress, that is something very unrealistic. congress only gave him a little north of $1.3 billion for border security when we have this last conversation earlier this year. six times that amount. eric: does the president have an argument. you can point to the fact that if customs and border protection are asking for that. they are the folks on the ground. they are saying we need to find 111 miles of this wall. a need to refurbish. they need to restore. they say that, so why would some of the president's opponents not
9:38 am
want to give the money to do that? >> eric, the president has been saying that and exactly how the site turned out when declared a national emergency to get that money. on that point, two areas put forward are going to be difficult for him when it comes to the treasury department. lawmakers have questions this week for treasury secretary steve mnuchin about the money that president is reprogramming to put towards the border wall construction. of course you also have the department of defense. the president has argued for increases in the dod budget. however he's also moving roughly six alien dollars to his national team from putting that towards the border wall. eric: in all this is in the backdrop on the resolution of disapproval for the president's emergency plan for the border wall. there is a sense that about 15 republican members of the senate
9:39 am
may go against the administration. what do you predict? >> well, we don't know how many republicans have spoken out and said they are going to vote for the resolution that is led by democrats. we do know that there are enough at least saying publicly they plan to vote for the resolution, that it would pass the united states senate. that forces the president to issue his first veto. he said he would protect national emergency. whether the senate has enough votes to override the veto we have a theme that kind of support among republicans. eric: that would not be possible. meanwhile, other saying it's high time for congress to reassert its power. william heard talking about that. >> that gives the president certain powers that i believe goes against what our constitution has said. congress gave this authority
9:40 am
that they have the power of the purse to the executive branch in times of emergency. >> so you see congress calling on back and trying to be confronting the president on this type of issue. >> that's exactly what republicans have to weigh this week in the senate. i was talking to the house earlier this week about that. while he may share some of the same concerns he releases for the court to decide legally amounts were a lot of republican members of congress and senators are, which is the poorest the president decide whether he wants to declare a national emergency and for the court to decide whether or not he exceeded his power. eric: lots of other presidential days. the central african republic, some critics would say why wouldn't this one be applicable when it's right on her and border. >> that's exactly what the white house is pushing at this point.
9:41 am
seemingly lawmakers didn't have a problem with other presidents declared national emergencies in those areas where they pushing back so hard against president trump when it comes back to his national emergency, but the border wall has been something a hot topic in his first campaign and of course the 2020 election from president trump and from democrats running against him you can expect immigration to be a major conversation topic. eric: how do you think this will play out? the resolution of disapproval will be voted on. >> right. so as it currently stands, based on republicans who have said they're going to vote for the resolution in the united states senate it would pass. they would veto it. the senate comes back potentially for a second vote in the house. whether the house even have enough votes to override a veto it is something we don't know. the first node in the house is not currently the case.
9:42 am
eric: francesca chambers, we'll see what happens. going to be a big week in washington this week. >> always says. have a good day. thanks so much. arthel: thank you, guys. in a debate over whether to lower the voting age from 18 to 16. those details next. doug. hmm. exactly. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. nice. but, uh... what's up with your... partner? oh. well, we just spend all day telling everyone how we customize car insurance, because no two people are alike, so... limu gets a little confused when he sees another bird that looks exactly like him.

storms popout in areas devastated just a week ago. outside of columbus, one of the areas that was hit the hardest last weekend. they're looking at what the marginal risk of severe weather threat today into the overnight hour. we are tracking a line of storms that isn't as big as it was yesterday. this is the area we are paying attention to is the cold front stretches across the south. you could pop up later in the afternoon with more daytime heating. there is going to be rain and storms across these regions. the larger concern at this point is a little further north with this exact same system brought no across the upper midwest and still continuing no across portions of northern michigan and now into new england. we see winter weather visor is across new england as a result. not a huge area, the portions of upstate new york running all the way up to maine, these are winter weather advisories in
