i want to ask jason chaffetz. jason, unity has been the theme for president trump, unity in the country, unity amongst the gop. not everybody buying into it, but it feels like the republican party is in great position to do great things. >> after a bit of a rough start the first six months. but the tax package now that we move into the new year, it comes on the heels of the president giving an amazing speech. and based on the cbs flash poll, 75% of the country liked it. and the democrats are looking leadership. they have no message. and the resist movement i don't think appeals to most of of america. charles: i think the american people want their elected officials to move forward. we have had a lot of republicans, well-known republicans exiting washington, d.c. and that adds a bigger question mark on whether the party can maintain its strength and control of congress. are you concerned about that? >> we just had trey gowdy announce he's leaving. but having been one of trey's closest friends, he's been thinking abo

let's bring back jason chaffetz, the former utah congressman and a fox news contributor. what do you make of what you just heard? >> look. we still need to go through all of the indictment and we will hear from the department of justice in a few moments. part of what i was able to read is that they were trying to disparage marco rubio and ted cruz but they were also supportive of bernie sanders and donald trump. i think this does go at least to one theory, they wanted chaos in the united states and it will be -- i'm very interested and want to know about the bank and wire fraud. you have at least five counts of aggravated identity theft, i want to learn more about those details. it's one thing to go online and pose as somebody else, i think that happens pretty frequently but it's a whole different level and it's a foreign entity or a foreign government and what were they using those four, to generate ads and chaos and put out a message that was far and wide? was a $5,000 or $5 million? i don't know yet but those of the kind of details i think will illuminate a lot of the

father morris is with us, so is congressman jason chaffetz. at does it mean, jason, for these members to put a pause on their day and their daily business to reflect on this life. >> i'm proud of the speaker and the majority leader and everybody who supported this to make this happen. reverend graham just impacted millions of lives. we need more good news, more good message and the good word reaching out to america. i think of the kids who went back to school today after that horrific shooting and they need something more. they need a belief in god and in jesus christ. i think that would help. and this is a historic moment. >> bill: thank you, jason. father morris, stand by. brit hume, everybody else along the line. we'll pause here for a moment and we'll let our fox stations across the country join us. there will be a bit of a break, a momentary break in our coverage here from the east side of the capitol building. but we'll continue as we see the casket being led in and then you have two days for the public to come through and lawmakers to pa

rob: here to make sense of what this is is utah congressman and fox news contributor jason chaffetz,morning, trying to figure out what this is, the republicans are going to make a big deal of this, democrat saying this man is not credible, paid by the fbi, $50,000. >> i do laugh when democrats even before he has given his testimony are trying to distance themselves. hear what he has to say. if the fbi was so interested they should look at it. the effort from the house judiciary and oversight and government reform committee, better here out what he says. julie: the american lobbying firm, $3 million in exchange for smoothing over us russia relations, supporting former president bill clinton, the contingency here and the clinton foundation, using this as a way to distract from the russia investigation. do we have that that we can throw up on the screen regarding the clinton campaign? expected to give assistance free of charge to the clinton global initiative as part of the record to create a favorable environment to assure the obama administration made affirmative decisions on everythi

as a former congressman, jason chaffetz, let me start with you.an anything be done in washington that would fix this? >> yeah. absolutely. i own five guns, i'm a member of the nra and i don't want people who cannot distinguish right from wrong to be able to obtain a gun. that means you've got to prosecute gun crimes, and also means you have to fix the background check system. there's an organization out there that is put out there by the shooting sports foundation to try to solve those. there is bipartisan legislation in the house and the senate, but how many times we have to do this before congress actually calls up of fill in votes? it's sickening and disgusting and nothing gets done. did we not learn the last lesson commented the air force not learn the lesson to populate the database? i'm afraid, like you said, next week, it will be gone. >> martha: at will because the case of this accelerates. we can't live like this and we can't let our kids live like this. i hear a lot from -- some people don't want to suggest anything, but it also has to d

rachel: fox news contributor jason chaffetz is former chairman of the oversight and government reform, jason, what do you think of that? is donald trump and now so many republicans damaging the reputation of the fbi or just talking about the leadership that's corrupt? >> >> good morning. donald trump didn't create this mess but is he here to help clean it up. anybody to reads that memo will understand that what the lawmakers are highlighting here is potential abuses in our system. and, you know, all the flailing that i heard from adam schiff and all these democrats this was an attack on law enforcement and this is going to dismantle our security apparatus, this is going to reveal sources and methods, none of that is true. none of it. and how ironic in the movie theaters right now have you meryl streep and tom hanks in a move touting the post about how they would print everything and want to get everything out there and now all of a sudden we are trying to expose the truth and what happens they get attacked as saying -- no, donald trump is as pro-law enforcement as any president we hav

here with reaction, fox news contributor jason chaffetz, judicial watch president john president competentis what we will get tomorrow. the phony dossier was used to get ad fisa warrant. its russian propaganda. congressman? >> i think we will also start to see the financial trail, who was paying for it, how it was financed, who was moving it along. i'm worried that it's broader than just the fbi. remember, this peter strzok character, this is the chief of counterespionage. he was the assistant director for counterintelligence. he is using a nonsecure phone to send 50,000 text messages to his lover who he's having an affair with. the russian, the chinese, everybody else. the american people will be the last ones to hear about it. >> sean: the irony of hillary paying the russians, paying for russian propaganda in the end, and it's used to get a warrant to spy on her opposition candidate in an election year, tom fit in. you deal with government corruption all the time. ever deal with anything this big? >> no. f i've been doing this for 20 years at judicial watch. i saw the fbi files go to the

former republican congressman, jason chaffetz. marie harf.achael bade that covers congress for politico. how do you claim way the white house has handled or mishandled the rob porter scandal and do you think general kelly's job is in real jeopardy or do you think these leaks that the president is mentioning other names as a way of him showing kelly whose boss? >> i think they still have a lot of confidence in general kelly. i think mick mulvaney if it came to that would be a great chief of staff. even white house spokesperson said earlier this week they had mishandled this. i do think the white house should have an accounting. who has security clearance and who doesn't? if you have to take time out and take another job. and the closest people to the present, cannot be operating with proximity to top secret classified information without a security clearance. i think it's pretty black and white. >>chris: we asked you for questions for the panel and we got this on twitter from breadth - - rights given the last year with high-profile harassment

and joining us on the couch, jason chaffetz is "outnumbered" on an incredibly important day in our nation as the president has been meeting with these governors in the white house. >> jason: so much of what happens happens at the state level. one of the more important things you can do is have that discussion. >> sandra: we are waiting to hear the words discussed in that room, we have president trump talking about guns and school safety with the nation's governors. it comes after he called for expanding background checks and arming some teachers, adding that states should decide on that. today he told the governors the nra is on their side and said he will ban bump stocks himself if congress does not take that action. the president's with judge jeanine pirro over the weekend about some of his ideas. >> background checks are going to be very important. there is no bigger champion for the second amendment then i am. some great teachers who are gone adept, really understood weaponry and guns, if they had concealed permits you wouldn't have this problem. >> sandra: in the meantime, governors

. >> sandra: joining us for more on all this former utah congressman jason chaffetz and byron york, arning. a lot going on. first i want to start out with all things memos. now the democrats want their memo to be released, will the president do this? >> i think he will have to. there is not a good reason for him not to release the democratic memo when he did release the republican memo. but we're seeing an entirely different process here. remember that the vote to release the democratic memo was unanimous. all the republicans on the committee voted for it. while all the democrats voted against releasing the republican memo. you just saw adam schiff the top democrat on the committee expressing concerns about what the f.b.i. might want to redact in the democratic memo when he was calling on the f.b.i. to look over the republican memo and redact things that could damage national security. so you are seeing very different processes but i believe in the end we will come to the same result which is a released memo. >> sandra: if we do indeed see it, jason chaffetz, what will it tell us? >>

let's discuss this with former house oversight committee chairman jason chaffetz and antoine. jason, you are in congress for a long time. not too long, but long enough. what can you do, if anything, to make sure this doesn't happen again? >> i wish there was one thing we could do to make sure it never, ever happens again, but i do like this idea about fixing the national background system. if you go to the website you will see that the student sports foundation and other support this. i supported it in congress. it's passed out of the house i believe and it has bipartisan support. it makes sense. there are some people who can't distinguish between right and wrong, and they shouldn't be able to acquire a gun. i have a gun, i have five guns, i have a concealed carry permit. i am a member of the nra, but people who can't make these types of decisions shouldn't be able to access a gun, and when this guy gets kicked out of school, obviously has problems, the police come to his house 30 times, there's a problem in him accessing a gun. >> katie: just to give the viewers in the audienc

jason chaffetz says that the step in the right direction to making sure this never happens again sayinge has supported similar legislation in the past. >> i wish there was one thing we could do to make sure it never happens again but i like this idea of fixing the background system and giving the website a fixed nick. a shooting sports foundation and others support this. i supported it in congress, passed out of the house and has bipartisan support. in the senate it makes sense some people can distinguish between right and wrong and they shouldn't to being able to acquire a gun. i have 5 guns and a concealed carry permit. and they should not be able to access a gun. and there is a problem accessing a gun. >> and to a fox news alert, missing 5-year-old boy. according to his stepmother lucas fernandez was seen at his kansas home saturday afternoon, she claims he was gone and the back door was open when she woke up. police do not suspect lucas was kidnapped. according to local reports, relative called child protective services concerned about the child's well-being. donald trump blaming th

jason chaffetz, thank you, a, gregg for all your help in all of this with the law. go through these players and what we're talking about here. >> well, with hillary clinton, i counted up 16 potential crimes. but then you have to factor in 110 classified documents. you know, so you can do the multi-ification. you need a calculator for that james comey potentially he committed 8 different crimes. we need to dig out the evidence. he needs to be put under oath. he needs to be investigated. he has got his book coming out. and i read recently. >> i'm sure it will be msnbc conspiracy. >> you will find it under the fiction category. and then have you got all kinds of people as you pointed out, it looks like the fix was in and they did it for political reasons to clear hillary clinton. that's obstruction of justifiable and other crimes. >> sean: i shouldn't even call you congressman because you are a recovering politician. >> thank you. >> sean: we always love having you on fox. >> thank you. >> sean: from your vantage point, listen, you were involved in a lot of these issue

we bring in former republican congressman jason chaffetz and spokesman for the hillary clinton away campaign. thanks for being here to you both. i want you to take a look at what a democrat of missouri, a congressman there, said. people get caught up in the anti-trump messaging. that's what the messaging has been. the democrats focus so much on trump and the carnival that is around him that we don't spend enough time talking about who we are and what we will do if the voters give us a chance in the majority. mo, i'll let you take a crack at that. do you think that's a concern? sort of been a growing chorus in the last couple of weeks. >> yeah. you know, when you head into an election, a midterm election, and you're the party out of power, you've got to motivate your base and you've got to try to bring over some new voters. the democratic base is motivated right now. a lot of that is furnished around anti-trump sentiment. we've seen this throughout 2007 and early 2008, these special elections, where democrats are outperforming their typical performance by a significant margin. but we do need

jason chaffetz and tom fitton. okay, i think this is what we are going to get tomorrow.on't want it, the phony clinton bought and paid for dossier was used in part to get a fisa warrant it's russian propaganda, congressman. >> yeah, i think we are also going to start to seat financial trail who was paying for it how it was financed. who was moving it along. i'm worried that it's actually broader than just the fbi. remember this peter strzok character. this was the chief at counter espionage. he was the assistant director for counter intelligence. is he using a non-security phone to send 50,000 text messages to his lover who is having an affair with you don't think the russians, the chinese and everybody else. the russians, the chinese and everybody else don't already know about it the american people are going to be actually the last ones to hear about it. >> sean: the irony of hillary paying the russians -- paying for russian propaganda in the end. and then that used to get a warrant to spy on her opposition candidate in an election year, tom fitton, you deal with gover

joining me now jason chaffetz the former house oversight committee chairman who led the charge on the clinton email investigation. he is a fox news contributor these days and zac, former dnc advisor who worked on the clinton campaign. jason, let me start with you. what's your take away from what we learned today? >> the problem is the president is making a statement that we know is not true. he weighed in on the irs case saying that lois learner, despite five open investigations, thought even smidgen of corruption. he weighed in on the clinton investigation by going out and saying, you know, she had done nothing to compromise national security. how did he know those things? so for him to definitively say that is just absolutely factually not true. did he weigh in and he weighed in several times it does beg et question what were they talking about that he wants to know about another investigation? it may have been just about russia. may not have been about hillary clinton. but, again, there it is in black and white from the fbi sayingth president wants to know everything. >> martha: za

jason chaffetz. fox news analyst marie harf.el bade, who covers congress for political, and guy benson. congressman, as someone who has seen how washington works, how do you explain the way the white house has handled or mishandled the rob porter scandal, and do you think that general kelly's job is in real jeopardy or do you think these leaks of the president mentioning other names is just a way of him showing kelly was boss? >> i think they still have a lot of confidence in general kelly. i do think mick mulvaney if it came to that would be a great chief of staff. nonetheless, even the white house spokesperson said earlier this week that they have mishandled this. i do think the white house should have an accountant. if you have to take a timeout and go take another job -- in the inner sanctum, the closest people to the president cannot be operating with proximity to talk secret classified information without a security clearance. i think it's pretty black and white. >> chris: we ask you for questions for the panel and we got

republican jason chaffetz today fired back that steele wouldn't even qualify to be in an austan powers be the basis of such a serious thing as surveillance of an american citizen. tucker? >> tucker: ed henry. thanks a million. >> good to see you. >> tucker: mollie hemingway senior editor at the federalist and looked deeply into. this so many memos getting confusing. central question and ed had a quick take on it was after the nunes memo was the steele dodd yea, the buzzfeed document mostly unproved even now was that the basis for fisa court requests for surveillance. >> it's funny if a year ago you said you were worried buzzfeed doze dossier might have been used to secure a wiretap against a american citizen you might have sounded crazy. >> tucker: true. >> now why have this democratic memo that confirms in fact this does quay was used to secure a wiretap against a trump campaign affiliate. big story. >> tucker: schiff memo, the one that was going to blow up the nunes memo and make us realize trump was a russian agent confirms the steele dossier was used to get the wiretap. >> the way

former utah congressman and fox news contributor, and jason chaffetz and fox news contributor barry kessel is here. tranter when i saw the guest list i thought i can't wait to hear what marion jason had to say which means i'm going to stifle. maria: we are grateful you are here this morning. what's most important in your mind right now? >> i'm still reeling over what republicans have done for government spending. a lot of good economic news, the government component in the run up in spending will hamper the economy. maria: a billion dollars and ending. >> it's a ridiculous number. >> air on a sugar high because you're the fourth-quarter gdp number coming out and saying goodbye to the new normal is 2% turns out america can go much faster than not. unfortunately, it's republicans are taking that message to get back on the sugar high of government spending. not a good idea. maria: talking about that a lot for sure. $1000 deficits. dagen: will talk about it as the morning rolls on. those deals going on closing above 2.9% yesterday on that testimony from jay powell. maria: test day. we expected

from a utah congressman jason chaffetz is with us now. your response to that, please, jason. >> less than 24 hours after the death of 17 people -- it's pretty disgusting. she is generally void of my thought to politicize this in less than 24 hours. i wholeheartedly disagree with everything she said there, and it's disgusting. it's not productive. it doesn't solve the problem. it doesn't honor the victims. stuart: we are told that we should not politicize this event, and i absolutely agree with that. however, if you ask the question what are we going to do about this? how we are going to stop it in the future, that is a political question, and it has a political answer. i don't think we should be political like chelsea handler. that was highly pejorative and frankly, disgusting. but politics are involved in this, are they not? >> well, i think there are lots of things we can do to actually solve this. one is the national instant criminal background check system that often referred to as knicks. there's a website called fix knicks. the shoot

neil: your old former colleague jason chaffetz kind of agrees with you but not on the way tweeting out stuff about his former attorney general. saying on our air, lemm embarrassing that the president would tweet this instead of communicating directly with his attorney general. mind boggling he would call out his own attorney general. if he is not up to the job, get rid of him. what did you think of that. >> i understand exactly where mr. chaffetz is coming from when he says that i understand why the president is very frustrated with his attorney general. neil: why doesn't jeff sessions quit? if that were happening to you, you were on receiving end of that, would you stay on the job? >> well, you know, depends how bad i wanted that job. i know that jeff sessions has done some great things. he has, is cracking down on drugs. he is, he is wanting to enforce border laws. and -- neil: does wanting the job badly enough, carrying about those issues, badly enough, compensate for the almost daily ridicule you get from your boss who just so happens to be the president of the united states? >> yo

here is former oversight chairman and fox news contributor jason chaffetz. >> uranium is a very precious i don't know why we give up any of it. so if you take 20% of our uranium reserve and allow anybody else, especially the russians, to have access to it it's a huge concern. we need to understand why. what is in the best interest of the united states? why would the united states even do this? >> sandra: here to talk about this is the lawyer for that f.b.i. informant victoria toensing joining us now. what new details can you give us on your client? >> yesterday my client doug campbell spent over four hours before three different congressional committees, the senate judiciary committee, house intel and house oversight and there were staff there from both political parties. it was a closed meeting but pretty open to the members of the hill. >> sandra: is it your understanding that the transcripts from that interview will be made public? >> that's such bull that adam schiff put out. he pretends that something exists that doesn't and says we didn't get it. there was no transcript. it was an
