congressman bob goodlatte is in the middle of all this investigative stuff.m live coming up moments away. don't go. back on that right after this. >> sandra: explosive new claims of an anti-trump secret society within the f.b.i. along with evidence of bias at the justice department raising new alarms on capitol hill. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," everyone. i'm sandra smith. good morning to you, bill. >> good morning. i'm bill hemmer. many top republicans now expressing deep reservations about what was happening at the heart of this great american institution, the f.b.i. pointing to so-called deep state efforts within the government to resist and undermine the president. apparently getting underway within 24 hours of his election. the evidence uncovered in text messages between leading f.b.i. officials who worked on robert mueller's russia matter. senator ron johnson just confirming last hour here on "america's newsroom" at least one informant revealing high-level officials at the f.b.i. were meeting at these off-site out of public meeti

reporter: leader mccarthy said that bob goodlatte thought the immigration bill is a good bill. the speaker: it is a good bill. we're working on that. i think it's a good bill and start putting ideas on the table. you know from the meeting i just referenced at the white house, the agreement was that the four leaders would begin negotiations to come up with a daca solution. when people bring ideas to the table, that's constructive. that's what goodlatte is doing here along with mccaul. leader mccarthy and the other three leaders are in those negotiations and that's constructive and what we should be doing and i'm confident we will get a solution before too long. reporter: just to follow up on that, you said on the daca, you said earlier you expect it to be bipartisan. the demrat bill you believe is a good bill but democrats do not. the speaker: i don't know if all democrats are opposed to that. but shouldn't we be offering solutions? the goodlatte bill brings peace of mind to the daca kids and shows what the security piece looks like and that is constructive. the demrat bill does

joining me right now is chairman of the house judiciary committee , congressman bob goodlatte of virginia. congressman good to see you. thanks maria. maria: thank you so much for joining us. what bothers people out there is you have to be able to trust your fbi, your cia, your irs, because there is a thing called the rule of law and what we've learned from some of these text messages is that there's a whole lot of bias and corruption going on at the top. tell us what you've learned? >> it's important to emphasize there are tens of thousands of great men and women whoever are day keep us safe, prevent terrorists attacks, solve crimes at the fbi but they're by several people in the leadership of the fbi that have a shocking contrast in the way they took the approach they took to the clinton investigation and the one they've taken to the trump investigation and it is stunning the more we see of these texts the more concerning it is and hats off to the inspector general at the department of justice who had these texts that were missing for five months and has figured out how to get access to

so there are a number of things in this more conservative immigration bill sponsored by bob goodlatte that will be a problem for democrats. i think the speaker paul ryan, his initial inclination is bring that more conservative bill to the house floor and see if it can pass and maybe it can or maybe it can't. if it can't, then we'll see whether he takes up the immigration bill that gets passed by the senate and that assumes something can pass the senate. i guess we'll see about that. host: alex bolton, the senior staff writer for "the hill" following the events the last couple days and beyond. thanks for your time this morning. guest: thanks for having me. host: the winners and losers of the government shutdown. we want to hear from you this next hour, for democrats call us at 202-748-8000 and independents 202-748-8002 and for republicans 202-748-8001. from the independent line you're up on winners and losers. go ahead. caller: i would say really both in the long run, both parties they're out because alienating the people they want to bring in the party, whether t's republicans and dem

brian: senator, bob goodlatte has a plan. be something of a scenario you could get behind? >> we welcome the contribution that bob goodlatte and michael mccaul made in the house. will heard made a product on daca and border security. frankly we'll need a bipartisan solution and we'll need a presidential signature this is situation where we want to get to yes. i'm confident as general kelly said last night, on bret baier, we'll get there. brian: have you talked to a democrat? >> of course, yeah. i talked, i talked to steny hoyer and dick durbin yesterday. i think dick finally beginning to accept the fact that this negotiated deal with senator graham and others is not going to work. so we're back at the negotiating table, and we welcome them to join us but that's not going to be the path forward. steve: all right. senator john cornyn from texas, sir. thank you very much for stopping by. we know you have a busy day. brian: he has to whip a lot of votes. steve: ten minutes before the top of the hours. you know her from the fox bu

he just said that representative bob goodlatte will be introducing a bill in the next few days. to kevin cirilli. as far as we know from the headlines anything that we weren't expecting out of this meeting yet? >> president trump according to the new york times will be traveling to the world economic forum in davos. his administration largely skipped out on last year's event. president trump on the campaign trail was very much against these types of global economic gatherings. reversal from his previous position to avoid them. it also is notable given that you have someone like steve bannon's clout with republican certain's greatly diminished. someone who had really advocated against attending these types of global gatherings. that we areift watching and following here at the white house. vonnie: anything about the meeting that we weren't looking for? of thecrats coming out meeting suggesting they are still very much in favor of extending the obama administration stock a proposal -- daca proposal. in order to look that with the january 19 deadline that lawmakers on capitol hill

we'll hear from house judiciary chairman bob goodlatte. plus we investigate the plight of christian refugees from around the world. ♪ >> shannon: welcome to "fox news @ night," i'm shannon bream in washington. new tonight, a bipartisan group of senators is reportedly making progress on a border security deal which would also theoretically solve the question to the so-called dreamers. the reported progress comes the day after president trump airs a very public gathering of lawmakers and put the ball in their courts to do something. he suggested he's willing to sign off on any deal they hammer out as long as it funds a border wall. an actual deal could still be a long way off with anti-immigration hardliners worried about getting sold out by republicans eager for a deal and democrats still getting pressure from advocates for open borders and unlimited immigration. all this on a day that the trump administration crackdown, it's just getting started. >> immigration and customs enforcement went after nearly 100 7-eleven stores nationwide, arres

shery: craig, the president saying the representative bob goodlatte of virginia will submit an immigrationill. what is the timeline in comp -- in congress look like? craig: the deadline is a deadline. january 19 is coming. i do think -- there may be legislation from good luck and other. -- others. i think it will come down to a deal. topdonald trump and the democrats in congress find a way to trade the dreamer program which has children that were brought here illegally, but are here now legally. can they come up with a deal on that? i think the important thing that trump said is he seemed to suggest he would take two things off the table for the first round. those things are the chain migration and the visa lottery. visa lottery is they put a bunch of names in the hat, and they pull out a name. if trump is able to but those aside, i think that improves the chances that we will avoid a government shutdown. trump said it in the heat of the moment. we will wait for the tweets and follow-up statements. that would be a very significant development in terms of avoiding a shutdown, if trump is wi

bob goodlatte is one of the most fair people you could ever run into. and i really believe under chairman goodlatte we are going to keep pushing until we get to the bottom of this. but corruption wherever it is found has to be rooted out and i hope and pray we'll reach a point where our democratic friends will say you know what? this really is bad. this is terrible. we have got to clean house now. we have got to get our f.b.i. and d.o.j.'s house in order. it got too far out of order in the past and i hope they'll join us and quit playing politics. this is just too serious. this is how you lose a country when the department of justice becomes just us. >> jon: serious issues on the front burner. you are investigating it with your committee. congressman, thank you. >> melissa: the former usa gymnastics team doctor who sexually assaulted young athletes is in court now as the judge prepares to sentence larry nasser. plus... the c.i.a. director with a stark warning about north korea as the regime works to upgrade its nuclear arsenal. how close we are to being

when you hear bob goodlatte talk about it, the fact that they have the 302 witness interviews, sean, they don't want to share this with congress because they are afraid of how inflammatory they will be, the fact they did withhold them. remember how long it took for congress to even get these text messages, to get these fbi witness, 302 interviews? this is a really -- that is part of the dispute that you see now. between the doj at at the house intelligencet committee. the house intelligence committee says, look, you guys held back forke us, we ask for these documents on the fbi and doj held back and they finally gave in and now that we have our investigation semiwrapped up, you don't want us to share it with the american public. i think people deserve to see it. >> sean: gregg jarrett. of course, the news media sheep anonymous sources, my good friend joe concha put out a tweet and it reminds us of everything. i'm sure the president did look at conflicts of interest, as he should. absolutely legit event, just like it's legitimate to say, who did you vote for? the media tries to make t

welcome the chairman of the house judiciary committee, bob goodlatte in washington. great to see you, congressman. i know you weren't at the meeting today that general kelly had were a congressional hispanic caucus. he did have some interesting things to say. i want to play a sound bite for you. this was general kelly on bret baier tonight. let's watch. >> there's been an evolutionary process that this president has gone through. as a campaign i pointed out to the members in the room that they all say things during the course of campaigns that may or may not be fully informed. but this president, if you've seen what he's done, he has changed the quays he looks at a number of things. campaign to governing are two different things. >> laura: when we hear words like evolve, congressman, a lot of trump supporters get nervous. on issues like the wall, mexico was supposed to pay for it, where are we? >> well, i think we're in a strong position. general kelly, secretary nielsen, department of homeland security, have been up here a lot on capitol hill. i wasn't at the meetin

bob goodlatte has a bill who has some interest.ave an agreement that maybe could be a compromise. we're looking at that. that's its own path. it's its own bill. we allegedly have an agreement on defense spending. why can't we have a clean vote on defense spending. >> listen, you're stating your case of what you want, i understand. as of midnight tomorrow night the government shuts down. so the very people that you're trying to protect in terms of soldiers at some point, they don't get paid. >> it's up to the administration to determine how -- what is essential, and i have confidence that nick mulvaney and president trump would prioritize funding our troops. unlike the previous administration, he spent extra money 230 block world war ii from going to the war memorial. you won't see any of that nonsense under this administration. >> you're confident your troops will be paid, obviously hundreds of thousands of people who lose their paycheck tomorrow night at midnight. >> payday is january 30th. my confidence is we'll get a better rang

i think the bill that really addresses this trish is congressman bob goodlatte's. speaker paul ryan is for it. mark meadows, head of freedom caucus expressed his support for it. it deals with those issues we'll have a deal on daca if you give us these things. to be honest, a lot of trump's base, i have done my research, i made some calls this morning, ran this idea past them, if they will offer the "dreamers" green cards to give them legal status right now, and then a five-year path to citizenship, they're a lot of people in trump's base are completely fine with that. again it goes back to brad's earlier comments. if you really want to have meaningful reform and move the ball forward, there has to be some compromise. if you have those four things and give the "dreamers" green cards and five-year path to citizenship, i think a lot of trump's base would be fine with that. trish: as he was pointing out you have to give something to incentivize people. chain migration thing, brad, to me was speaking common sense there, when he talked about how so many people, think wha

georgia senator david purdue, tom cotton and congressman bob goodlatte of virginia. all of them were reportedly in the room. we have contacted all of those senator s and members of congress tonight to try to get from them their confirmation this, in fact, happened and the president said these things and we want to find out how did you guys react? did you do when the president said this stuff? if you can confirm that he said it. all right. we know at least somebody in that room reacted to what the president said believing the room and going to tell reporters about it because josh at the washington post was the first reporter to publish these alleged quotes from the president today. "the new york times" and nbc news published their own versionsstory, importantly, they are not denying. josh broke the news about this. quote, graham and durbin thought they would meet with trump alone and were surprised to find representative bob goodlatte and tom cotton out meeting. the meeting came after phone calls this morning. graham and durbin came to outline a deal for countries tha

we will hear from congressman bob goodlatte. >> we are on a tight schedule, but to introduce our keynote speaker for the first part of lunch come i want to introduce jeremy berman who i introduced earlier today. jeremy created all of this to create an organization that could carry policy where no one really cared about it. to treat everybody as a stakeholder, even if they didn't know it yet and we've had a long time and now is not the case. this is kind of important and thanks to jerry and the other members of the board of directors. i also want to recognize congressman rick white, one of her major programs and a member from the state of washington during that time. rick, thank you for coming. our next speaker succeeded, congressman wei. jeremy berman founded our organization. he's been a driving force for having deep conversation before anyone thought it was important. jerry will introduce our next speaker. jerry berman.

met kevin mccarthy, judiciary committee chairs and cochairs chuck grassley, dianne feinstein and bob goodlatte. mike mccall and betty thompson for the chair and ranking of the homeland security committee in the house in lindsey graham, heidi heitkamp. the president says he is willing to cut a deal on the dreamers, but he wants some things in return for giving the protectio protection. the white house is going to deliver a series of proposals not necessarily demands, but just point for the president wants to get across here in this meeting as to what he wants done. that includes movement on the wall, president of course want construction of a wall. what to do about detainees and immigration loopholes ending chain migration and the number of new i.c.e. agents at the president wants to put on duty to enforce customs and immigration laws. the white house legislative director marc short a while ago on fox business said construction of a wall for democrats based on their legislative history should be a no-brainer. listen here. >> is also something that 54 senate democrats voted for. $40 billion in p

but the most anti-immigration, nativist forces that include senator tom cotton, representative bob goodlatte, and the two people who seem to be acting as copresidents, steven miller and john kelley. and trump simply does not want to alienate that base. and he's blown up a deal that was right there for the making. he is unable, i think, to understand the whole nature of how you make deals in governance, which are not the same as making deals in real estate. >> and he has -- again, around this table, talking about an immigration bill full of love. he wanted it to be a good bill for these dream e.r.e.a.m.ers. and he's proudly nonideological. on many issues he says he's nonideological, he wants to make the best deals possible. how is it he has as you said gotten hijacked by the hard liners on this? >> i think he's the most ideological nonideological politician in history. i think the problem with trump is he always postures in the direction of the crowd or the individual that happens to be in front of him. he tendsds to agree with the la person he talks to, that's widely reported. and in the cam

but i also want us to be confident in the process that chairman bob goodlatte, chairman gowdy and our intel committee chairman have in place to do this charactery, because we want to be sure these -- carefully, because we want to be sure these documents are brought forward and used in a way to get to the truth. part of that will entail that we need a special counsel to investigate and not have the d.o.j. and f.b.i. investigate themselves. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from oregon seek recognition? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. defazio: the previous speaker said, this is a four-week budget for the government. and another speaker said they've done their job. you know, the most basic function of the majority party who controls the house, the senate and the white house is to write a permanent one-year budget for the government of the united states. this is the fourth temporary continuing resolution. you're 113 days late. now, wha

chairman nunes and bob goodlatte and trey gowdy are working together on the timing of this.ut this is so important and so shocking it should be made public immediately. i think we'll be shocked not only at the way information was collected, but the way that that information was authenticated. i can't go into any details but only to say that you are aware as a judge the way evidence has to be authenticate and presented to a court to get a warrant. and prosecutors and investigators cannot perpetrate frauds on the court by presenting false information or information they know to be false. judge jeanine: let's assume, we are talking about bruce ohr, be lisa page, rod rosenstein, jim comey. i don't want to hear if any of what you are suggesting is true that these guys get to dictate when they retire. my viewers want them taken out in cuffs. if they violated the law, will they be taken out in cuffs? >> head are going to roll. i think crimes were committed. judge jeanine: assuming jeff sessions has a justice department that will be fair. >> he hasn't exercised sufficient control of

but i also want us to be confident in the process that chairman bob goodlatte, chairman gowdy and our intel committee chairman have in place to do this charactery, because we want to be sure these -- carefully, because we want to be sure these documents are brought forward and used in a way to get to the truth. part of that will entail that we need a special counsel to investigate and not have the d.o.j. and f.b.i. investigate themselves. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from oregon seek recognition? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. defazio: the previous speaker said, this is a four-week budget for the government. and another speaker said they've done their job. you know, the most basic function of the majority party who controls the house, the senate and the white house is to write a permanent one-year budget for the government of the united states. this is the fourth temporary continuing resolution. you're 113 days late. now, wha

with a grand unveiling and they were pflum mentioned when immigration stall warts congressman bob goodlatte from virginia and senator tom cotton of arkansas were already in the room as was white house policy advisor, immigration expert steven miller. remember, just a few days earlier when the cameras were rolling, the president said he would not sign any daca deal without the funding of his wall and an end to chain migration and that stupid visa lottery system yet somehow the dynamic duo thought they could through charm and flattery alone con trump into agreeing to their solution that didn't meet the president's baseline and actually, if you can belief it, their idea increased chain migration. the president, to their faces said it was dead on arrival. good for him. durbin and graham were so enraged after being spurned, somebody went to the press. they pedaled the story that trump had referred to haiti and unspecified african countries as s holes and we should try to get norwegian immigrants here instead. >> his comments said things which were hate filled, vile and racist. coming the nations

representatives kevin mccarthy and bob goodlatte said nothing about it. >> this is beyond party. beyond politics. these alleged comments are very damaging and hurtful. if the president did say them, he needs to apologize and completely retract it. and i do appreciate the members of congress that we have seen and other gop leaders that have come out and said if these comments are true, you have to say something about it, mr. president. this isn't right. and if we don't show we're for the immigrants and speak out and hold the president accountable on these things, we're going to feel it in november. we're going to lose the trust of the american people, and it's a big concern. >> you have defended the president before, and this time you don't think that his words can be defended? >> i don't. these alleged comments, they're not defendable. >> okay, terra, the only republican present at the meeting to push back against the president and that was lindsey graham. and he said he said his piece to the president at the meeting. what's is going to take for the republicans? >> it's going to

bob goodlatte has a bill that's been introduced. if he start there and look at that particular bill and find where we can fine common ground with our democratic colleagues. >> congressman, before i let you go i want to ask you about the possibility of a government shutdown later on this week. you have been somebody who has been very critical and leading the charge on these government spending issues. we're looking at another resolution to keep the government open. are you at the point where you could support that as these negotiations continue onward or not? >> you know, we're going to be meeting, kasie, on tuesday night, not only as a conference but as a freedom caucus. i am concerned that we continue to kick the can down the road. >> congressman mark meadows i'll see you on capitol hill. thank you so much for coming in tonight. i appreciate it. >> great to be with you. >>> when we continue, the retirement house. we'll talk about what big changes in congress do and don't mean for the mid-terms. wish your skin could bounce back like

i am joined now by one of those people, house judiciary chairman bob goodlatte, a republican from virginiawe got a little bit of an extra delay, i want to apologize for that early on. catch me up on exactly the headline you want the american people to be aware of. >> harris, the headline is we have a very serious problem at the fbi with a number of people at the highest levels of the department to have been engaged in activity based on the limited information we have from the text and other documents we've seen that raises great concern and the action that needs to be taken. but please set attorney general sessions is going to launch an investigation of what happens to those texts. there is no coincidence in my opinion that missing text that run from when the russia investigation was launched right up until the point where you have the mueller investigation being launched. some of these texts are very disturbing, as trey gowdy noted. they illustrate a conspiracy on the part of some people and we want to know a lot more about that. we will be continuing our joint judiciary oversight investi

contours of what we're seeing that is the primary gop offering from the house judiciary chairman bob goodlatte, cuts down -- eliminates chain migration and the visa lottery eventually, provides some pathway to legal status and protection for daca for the dreamers. but really tough on a number of levels. is that something that there are portiontion of it, some of it, all of it you sko get onboard with? >> i can't support that particular measure. i'm a sponsor of the dream act, which i believe is a much better approach to treating the folks on daca. i agree with my good friend gentleman, mr. collins, who says that we need a multi-year budget to help the military. but also education and healthcare. we need to reauthorize community health centers and provide a fix for the dreamers. some folks have claimd claimed this is not an emergency situation for the dreamers. they're about to be subject to deportation in march, less than 60 days. that's an emergency. and we are funding i.c.e., customs and border patrol, homeland security, precisely those functions that touch upon immigration and these issues.

these sources say devin nunes and two colleagues, trey gowdy and bob goodlatte, and the fbi's house judiciaryir, going through the steps they have to take to release them on much of the public by early february. under pressure tonight, the fbi is demanding a copy of this memo, they say, so they can take appropriate action if there was improper surveillance. so for the committee has not turned it over. these republicans, meanwhile, believe it will put pressure on attorney general jeff sessions to potentially appoint a second special counsel be on robert mueller to prove these allegations that during the campaign and transition obama officials were basically spying on trump officials. i am told devin nunes and other republicans were compelled to act because they are so angry about learning this week and the fbi is now claiming it did not retain text messages between peter strzok and lisa page from december 14th, 2016 to may 17, 2017. now that is an amazing coincidence because that covers a good chunk of that presidential transition, the early days of the trump administration, and also because m

what is bob goodlatte going to come up with? great point.t the end of the day, once this cr gets to the senate they need 60 votes to clear a cloture threshold before they can bring it to an actual majority vote. that's why the president great . at the end of the day, once this is forced to really work with democrats on this. he also is in need of some type of political win ahead of the second state of the union address and heading into the february 1 deadline for a budget battle. a lot of moving parts on this. we should note to this is going to coincide with the latest development around the same timing of when president trump is expected to attend the world economic forum in davos. i spoke with an administration source moments ago confirming that new york times is forced to really work with democrats on this. report that president trump will in fact be attending davos. a reversal of sorts from his previous stance on that in which he said he was not going to go. fromding to a statement sarah huckabee sanders, he is going to be advocating for

joining us for a reaction from roanoke virginia is republican congressman bob goodlatte. he's the chairman of the house judiciary committee. we have a lot to get to on these text messages, disappearing, the secret society. i want to get you on this issue of chain migration. i hear a lot from democrats about how republicans are not antifamily congressman. as you saw with that very difficult to read graphic. we are resettling huge congregations into the united states, not based on merit but based on distant family relatives. >> absolutely. they are not even going to be reunified in any short period of time because the amount and length of the wedding was so long that there is no real family reunification. our bill allows the immediate family, spouse, and minor children to come into the united states. that is very important for families. but these extended families do not benefit the united states, in the sense that a merit-based system would where people come here based upon education, job skills, job offers, and training. that's what we need in our economy, not people who

or from bob goodlatte, gop chairman of the house judiciary committee. congressman bell lart, republican from florida, released a statement "there are almost 800,000 young daca beneficiaries who will face imminent deportation if we do not reach a deal. nothing will stop my focus of these innocent people whose futures are at stake." cotton and purdue, immigration hardliners, said in a joint statement they simply couldn't remember. "we do not recall the president saying these comments specifically, but what he did call out was the imbalance in our current immigration system which does not protect american workers and our national interest." their colleague senator lindsey graham seems to have a different recollection. according to his fellow south carolina senator, republican tim scott, graham told him the reports were "basically accurate." so far the only person who's given a full account of what the president said yesterday is the one democrat who was present. illinois senator dick durbin, leading advocate for d.r.e.a.m.ers and other immigrant groups. in
