no question about that. >> shepard: john roberts at the white house. john, thanks very much. him mention that the president gave that speech in western pennsylvania, coraopolis, pennsylvania where republicans are trying to hold on to a seat in what is usually an extremely red district. the president says that he's there to throw his support behind the rick candidate rick seconne. he's sent to face off against connor lamb, democrat. the republicans have held the seat for 16 years. analysts say this could be a close race come march. john roberts is at the white house. why so? >> i'll tell you about that in a second. it's interesting to see that the white house is playing down the idea that this being a campaign event for rick saccone. the president this morning didn't appear to get the message about chip when he was tweeting, didn't appear to get the message about saccone from the white house either. he tweeted out, we'll be going to pennsylvania in order to give my total support to rick saccone running for congress in a special election march 13. rick is a great guy. we need m

host: john bennett reports on the white house for roll call. we also joined by arit john. next is shelby from tennessee. independent line. caller: hello. c-span for giving americans a voice when they otherwise don't feel it would have one. at least i don't. and the government possible shutdown i am wondering exactly what exactly does that mean and why if it's just a matter of err on the time to side of caution because there are so many issues to me that would be common sense. host: ok. what do we mean by a government shutdown? down the government shuts there are still essential services that will keep running no matter what. nonessential government employees will basically be sent home and waiting for their paycheck to come in. that is the logistics of what a government shutdown would mean. then there's the political question of what that would mean. that would be up to people like our caller deciding who is responsible for this. keeping the government running is one of the basic rules of congress and if they can't do that there are questions of why did we elect you when y

and he knows he needs john kelly. the white house is running better under john kelly, even though the president continues to make things hard on himself sometimes with the early morning tweets and many other impulsive behaviors. but he knows that john kelly is doing about as good a job as anybody can do in that role in this administration, and i don't see that this is -- this is what we've seen before when he says, good guy, and it means that guy is on his way out. >> catty, let's pull the thread a little farther in terms of the underlying tensions between these two men. maggie haberman reported in "the new york times," mr. kelly is trying to isolate him. his senior aides to the president are frustrated they cannot speak directly to mr. trump and must go through a filter. people have also warned the president that he faces a massive staff exodus among senior officials in part as a result of the working environment that kelly has created. >>> so, eli is correct in that kelly's job is secure, in part, because there are not a lot

we took those l a gas stations to school spokesman john white. we always want to make sure that our staff and our couches are treating children with the same respect that they would want to receive and so we take the allegations serious limit we have begun to interview students as well as adults into the building to find out exactly what has occurred. the district wouldn't say what they've learned from the interviews. the parents want the coaches replaced, a f accounting of the fees they've paid and a guaranty that their daughters can cheer and be protected. it's been going on for almost a year. unfortunately when the parents decided to stand up the together , the coaches decided to disband the team. and of course we will take you on top of this story and let you know what happens in this district investigation. live in prince george's county tonight, evan lambert, fox5 local news. >> sthoirts have release the names of 17 people killed by mudslides in california. the santa barbara coroner's office says the victims range in age from three to 89 an

lindsey graham has been laying it at the feet of john kelly and the white house staff. in the end, this is not a staffing problem. this is not a john kelly problem. this is not even really a donald trump problem. to go back to norm's point. this is a problem of the latest of many vivid illustrations over the course of last year that the republican party is not a functional government party. it's a corrupt institution that made a bunch of promises about repealing and replacing the affordable care act and had a chance to do it and couldn't do it. this is another one, we're heading towards a government shutdown because even though they control every part of the government relevant to the process cannot get their act together on not just this immigration thing, but on a wide array of things. this is not a hard thing for the government to do and they're on the brink of failing the task. >> when you think of other presidents when they send up the chief of staff or their best political operative, which is usually the chief of staff, they're sending up someone far more experienc

our chief white house correspondent john roberts, no surprise that jeff flake and the white house are on different pages when it comes to the bill. >> trace not long before the press secretary came out for the daily briefing there was a meeting in the oval office that i'm told got heated on a couple offcation when is the senators came over and presenting their plan what to do about the dreamers. the president said that he appreciated as they were talking about a bipartisan fashion but when he looked at the plan he said they have a long way to go. the president also took a call from dick durbin on the democratic side of the senate earlier today, said he's pleased with the bipartisan process. but they have a lot more work to do. he sent everybody up to capitol hill to say you've got to get a little more of what we want here at the white house in to this plan before i'm going to sign off on it. sarah huckabee sanders summed up the white house position. listen here. >> secretary sanders: i can't speak to the specifics of senator flake, i can tell you that a deal has not been reached and w

white house official. jennifer tweets about congressional reaction. john cornyn, the republican whip saying he's spoken with general kelly and there were no agreements reached at the white house. the president told senator schumer to go back, talk to paul ryan, mitch mcconnell and work it out. so i think that's the best way to handle this. that from john cornyn. at the white house reporters caught up with white house advisor kellyanne conway and tried to ask her questions bout the c.r. discussions. reporter: [inaudible] kelly anne: well, we hope they will follow the president's lead. and that rely on chip -- he hopes to keep the government open. reporter: one-year anniversary of the president's inauguration, what do you think this means about the level of function? kellyanne: the president has made great progress. promises to make more accountability to washington. and our security. i think the tax cut plan alone shows how much -- [inaudible] so record numbers in the economy. people are really excited there is a 31% increase in the stock market. 401-k, loo

very high hope of -- for all of us who have confidence in the ability that john kelly has instilled in being able to make the whiteouse a more manageable and operational place that this will just be a bump in the road. >> you know, jackie, it is interesting, the president coming out here and refuting, directly contradicting what john kelly says, saying the president evolved on the wall since the campaign, the president now saying, no, it is not that i still want the 2,000 mile wall, which he said, by the way, during the campaign, wall all across the border. he's saying what i wanted all along is this partial border. not the lakes, not the mountains. >> a see through. >> a virtual thing. he's trying to rewrite history here. >> that looks like an evolution to me. doesn't seem like john kelly was speaking out of turn here, but as margaret said, the president doesn't like to be wrong. he doesn't like to be contradicted. and let's not forget, this was one of the biggest campaign promises that the president made. you know, a call response including mexico paying for it, which i don't think anyone is going to happen desp

chief white house correspondent john roberts is here to tell us where we go from here. good evening. >> president trump's strategy was to play a waiting game over the weekend, not talking to democrats, no bipartisan negotiations. in the end, he got precisely the result he was looking for. >> white house officials spiked the ball today, clear win for president trump after chuck schumer cut a deal this morning to accept everything president trump offered him three days ago. >> in regards to the government shutdown, we are pleased to see senator schumer accept a deal that president trump put on the table from the beginning, from the government and debate immigration is a separate issue. >> the president waited in a statement saying "i'm pleased democrats in congress have come to their senses and are not willing to fund our great military. border patrol, first responders and insurance for vulnerable children." the white house kurtz's focus back to forging a deal on the so-called dreamers. white house sources say they had been making progress in negotiations. democrats movin

maybe most strikingly, his own white house put out a statement in support of the same bill he just blasted. cnn's joe johnss at the white house this morning. joe, i would ask for clarity but i'm not sure there's any coming. >> reporter: yeah, all you can say about this, john, is that it's complicated. you're absolutely right, this administration has come out strongly in support of the reauthorization of these fisa amendments. this is the foreign intelligence surveillance act. it has long been controversial. the president's right on that point. the administration said it supports these amendments and has gone as far as to say more recently that it opposes attempts to water down these amendments which are going to be voted on the house floor, we expect, later today. of course on balance, it's so controversy that members of the freedom caucus on capitol hill have suggested they're opposed because there aren't enough privacy protections inside the amendments. even senator rand paul of kentucky, one of the true libertarians, has said in his view this thing ought to go down. the problem, of course, the issue of

white house with more. good morning. >> yeah, good morning poppy and john. that's right. the white house did not deny this in a very lengthy statement that they issued. they did not deny this reporting specifically, but they said the president has enormous respect for thousands of rank and file fbi agents who make up the world's most professional and talented law enforcement agency. the statement continued he believes politically motivated senior leaders including former director comey and others he empowered have tainted the agency's reputation for unbiased pursuit of justice. the president appointed chris wray because he's a man of true character and integrity and the right choice to clean up the misconduct at the highest levels in the fbi and give the rank and file confidence in their leadership. it's worth noting that the president has had a troubled relationship with the fbi ever since he first took office nearly a year ago, and just in december he tweeted that he believed the fbi's reputation was in tatters and the worst it's ever been and chris wray is someone the p

after fbi director chris wray and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein were rebuffed by white house chief of staff john kelly in a white house meeting monday, first reported by the washington post last night. the fbi defended the bureau's handling of classified material obtained through surveillance. quote, the fbi takes seriously its obligations to the fisa court and its compliance with procedures overseen by career professionals in the department of justice and the fbi. but the white house so far is as unmoved as paul ryan was when he rebuffed pleas from wray and rosenstein to protect classified material. >> as far as the memo goes, the memo came over. we've got our folks in the national security lawyers in the white house that work for me, work for the president. they're slicing and dicing it, looking at it so we know what it means, what it understands. >> did you see it? >> i did. >> what do you think? >> it will be released pretty quick and the whole world can see t. >> the whole word can see it. reporters and guests, ken delanieian, washington post ashley park erk ear associate press white house

and then the white house claiming, oh, no, was john kelly ahead of the white house. >> i think he'sing exactly what the -- what the president wants -- he is projecting what the president wants to have happen. we saw the president as he was leaving the chamber last night get door stopped by a republican senator who asked him about the memo and the president's answer is 100% it will be released. sarah sanders tried to walk that back a little bit. suggesting that there is still a number of steps in the process to go and they won't do anything rashly and so forth and then a few hours after that, john kelly said, yep, good to go. >> michael, i don't understand, before the last year, devin nunes' reputation was not one of somebody that went off the deep end like this. and would just sort of flout all of these -- that was not his rep. you tell me dana roll backer is doing this, okay. why is -- do you think he's willing to essentially destroy the enteg rit -- the integrity of the intel world. he could blame the other side -- but this will destroy trust probably for -- >> they need this fbi

. >> woodruff: john, that's what it looked like from the white house. lisa you're at the capitol, was this unusual for members of congress as it seemed at our end? >> perhaps even more unusual. they are used to dog and pony shows, members of congress go up to the white house, we see a littlability of conversation and exchange. what happened here, this is coming from multiple senators who were there, that there was a feeling that maybe this isn't just a dog and pony show. as more and more members started to act like it was ongoing, live negotiation, more and more members took it that way. in the end, what happened, the portion that was not on camera which was also about 45 minutes, that is where the negotiation happened to agree to four points that john was talking about. and one other note that was unusual about? we saw, this the public saw this, but senate staffers who are used to getting first information about these, they were in the cold, they were waiting outside, they had. >> o'donnell: idea what was happening. >> woodruff: was something actually

chief white house correspondent john roberts is live for us at the white house. john? >> sandra, good afternoon to you. yes, fox news has confirmed that steve bannon will indeed sit down for an interview with robert mueller's office. last week he had been issued a subpoena to appear before a grand jury, fox news is told that was likely an overreach by the fbi, which may have been occasioned by the fbi not initially being able to get in touch with bannon. after negotiations between bannon's attorney bill burke and mueller's office, bannon will now sit down for an interview like the other current and former white house staffers would ho have been questioned by mueller investigators. he will sit down with mueller and answer any questions asked of him. the white house has never, sources say, asked anybody who has been interviewed by mueller's office to not talk about the goings on here at the white house or the transition. that's a big difference from yesterday as you pointed out when bannon refused to answer any questions about his time in the white house or transition in

white house chief of staff john kelly joins us now for a fox news exclusive. thank you for being here. as you sit here, are you confident the administration and congressional leadership has the votes for a short-term funding to avoid a government shutdown friday? >> i spent a fair amount of time on the hill today speaking to members of congress, both sides of the aisle, and it would seem to have the votes to continue funding the military, take care of the child health care issue. perhaps some other things. as i understand it, they have the votes and they are fairly confident. >> bret: not really what you wanted. >> no, the cr is getting in the way of an awful lot of things but that's the reality of life in washington. >> bret: your time on the hill today got some headlines. "washington post" has a story, says "kelly called some of trump's campaign pledges immigration while uninformed," white house chief of staff john kelly told democratic lawmakers the united states will never construct a physical wall on the entire stretch of the border and some of the campai

see behind the scenes about how they interact. >> sandra: and as far as john roberts reporting this morning goes coming from the whitese, even thoef he says the president was very upset with john kelly's characterizations in that interview with you last evening, there appears to be no indication that kelly's job is in jeopardy. they appear to have an ongoing good relationship as we have seen in the past. has anything changed based on this, bret? >> i don't think so. listen, john kelly is a straight shooter. he answers questions that he is asked which is a rare thing in washington and he was just i think laying out the answers to as i've proposed them. i do think the administration is going to try to get this bigger deal with border security, daca, and funding but that this short-term deal is what is they're pushing for now. i think the real question today is how this vote is going to go down in the house, probably going to happen during our hour in special report. and then how it comes together on the senate side. could it fall apart? leadership thinks they have the votes. it will be close. >> sandra: another interes

. >> julie: chief white house correspondent john roberts is live with the story and has the latest from the white house. >> jon: good morning. first of all let's zone in on the president's health report and the result of the physical he had at the walter reed military center on friday. by definition the white house physician, dr. ronny jackson is apolitical. also the physician for president barack obama and george w. bush. but the information that the president requested jackson reveal yesterday was a real finger in the eye to critics of the president who say that he is mentally unfit for office. jackson revealing yesterday that at the president's request -- this was a big surprise to many white house staffers -- that the president had requested a cognitive assessment. this in the wake of all of the allegations in the wolff book "fire and fury" he is mentally unfit for the job. jackson says the president did very well in that test. listen here. >> any type of cognitive issues, alzheimer's and all those other things we screened for. the fact that the president got 30 out of 30 on that ex

here is chief white house correspondent john roberts. >> it was an oops moment that sent white house staff and republicans in congress reeling this morning. after watching a segment on "fox & friends," president trump issued a tweet highly critical of the fisa act, so-called 700 to authority. the president tweeting "vote on fisa act today. this may have been used by the phony dossier. to so badly surveil and abuse the trump campaign by the previous administration and others?" this student stark contrast to the statement by the press secretary. democrats took full advantage of what they saw as a policy vacuum, saying let's put the bill on hold. >> in light of the irresponsible and inherently contradictory messages coming out of the white house today. i would recommend we withdraw consideration of the bill today to give us more time to address the privacy questions that have been raised as well as to get a clear statement from the administration about their position on the bill. >> nearly two hours after his initial tweet, president trump moved to clarify his position, tweeting that "t

chief white house correspondent john roberts is live. first, catherine herridge live in d.c. >> the deputy director is now officially out and andrew mccabe was removed in advance of the independent review by the justice department's inspector general into the handling of the clinton e-mail case. mccabe, a member of comey's inner circle of advisers was going to retire in the spring. that was apparently moved up and fox has questioned into the fbi over whether the house intelligence committee republican staff memo laying out alleged abuse in the government surveillance systems which involved the fbi was a factor. this photo shows mccabe with lisa page that sent the anti-trump messages. she's there on the left in the corner of the screen out of shot of this camera have the fbi's general counsel, james baker who was also reassigned. so it shows you how tightly connected he was to comey and his associates. the next in line is david bowduch. he was working outs of the los angeles bureau and took a leading role after the san bernardino terroris

. >> joe johns at the white house, thank you for that. with us now, our national security and legal analyst, susan hennessy. in this judge's ruling, a federal judge from california, rescinding daca -- rescinding the trump move on daca, calling it arbitrary and capricious, and also talking about what this judge says, it's broad and sweeping across the united states and not just northern california. what does this mean for daca? legally where does this thing go? >> this is just a preliminary injunction and it's the first step that prevents the executive branch from recenting daca while the underlying issues are litigated. it's more of a pause. the government will almost certainly appeal that preliminary injunction so they could get the temporary pause reversed in the near future and win on the merits. this is the legal affect here is certainly temporary and the entire sort of legal question might be mooted if the legislature reach as solution in the interim. >> it's a more political question than a legal question, but you can make a case th

my own book, "the gatekeepers" where i also look at the first half of the trump white house under reince priebus and john kelly. it was a white house that was fundamentally uninterested in governing. they had not -- the transition was a disaster. it was almost anti-transition. they were determined the to learn nothing about anything. and on day one they had no idea what they were doing, which of course gave an opening for steve bannon with his white boards to come and do the executive order on immigration. of course bannon at the end of the day is a disruptor and not interested in governing. it is a fascinating story. and i get into it in the new chapter of my book that comes out next month as well. >> so given that, you've got this new chapter and we have michael wolff's book. i do want to make note of this, though. nbc news itself has not confirmed a lot of what appears in this book. when we asked the white house of the allegations they referred us to earlier statements calling the book ridiculous and full of lies. part of what the white house is referring to are the statements from bannon. here's how
