kimberly, i want to start with you. a lot of people are just sort of stunned that lawmakers seem to throw up their hands and went home for the holidays. how is this impasse going to break? >> well, it's up to the president really. as you said the democrats have zero incentive to move on this at all. they made it clear they're not interested in this border wall connecting that to this funding bill. and the president is the one who at the late hour when it seemed there was an agreement it seemed like everyone was ready to go away for the holidays was the one who have the stopper here. recall the same thing happened with daca when we had the broader immigration bill that came together, it seemed there was a deal. border wall funding, daca put back in place and at the last minute the president reminded by an adviser that his base saw this deal as amnesty and he could not back it or his base would revolt. he walked away at the last minute and something similar here and we have a shutdown. >> she mentioned the base originally

how kit is live for us now from washington so kimberly he's getting three years in jail this is pretty much in line with what the recommended sentence was if i'm not mistaken. yeah it's in line although there had been the potential that he could face up to sixty three months in jail now it's looking more like thirty six according to judge william pauley in his sentencing the judge saying that it was in his view that michael cohen the former fixer and long time lawyer for donald trump that he had lost his moral compass now as you point out michael cohen has pled guilty and that's why we were in the sentencing hearing today to considerable charges including tax evasion campaign finance violations as well as misleading congress but michael cohen certainly went down swinging and this is going to certainly make the white house nervous given the fact that he admits that he took full responsibility for what he called the wrong doing wrong doing he said my duty was to cover up for his dirty deeds referring to donald trump he said that he was loyal to the president and he did these wrong doings

connell: kimberly had an audio problem. we're sorry, kimberly you missed a great discussion. jump in on why, not whether or not or not, we all had our views on that, why the federal reserve is going down the path it is going, keep signaling raising rates even though at slower pace? >> i agree with your other guests. i think the fed is absolutely, very my -- myopic what their goal is, normalization by 2019 at 3% rate. if this economy grows and gets a little bit out of control. they have tools in the tool box. connell: i have to cut you off, kimberly. breaking for the federal reserve. here is the chairman, jerome powell. >> pardon me. over the past year the economy has been growing at a strong pace. the unemployment rate has been near record lows, and inflation has been low and stable. all of those things remain true today. since the september meeting of the fomc however some crosscurrents have emerged. i will explain how my colleagues and i are incorporating those crosscurrents into our judgments about the outlook and the appropriate course of policy. since september the u.s.

kimberly -- >> it's been a while. >> years. but this idea that this could very well be this president's last chance in his first term to exert any sort of measurable influence over congress regarding the wall, is there any validity to that considering democrats come into power just a few weeks from now? >> i mean, the idea that any talk of a wall is going to be very difficult once the democrats take control in january. that's for sure. if there is a last chance, this certainly is it, but the president has also had republican leadership in the house and the senate for two years, and this border funding hasn't passed then. this is something that is not palatable for a good chunk of the republican party. it's not just democrats who have stood in the way of this funding. so there just didn't seem to be a lot of incentive for democrats or anyone else to get behind this now, certainly not with the change ahead. >> garrett, do you get the sense that democrats are willing to bend at all on this wall to keep the government open? >> repo

kimberly?wn has not shut down the courts or mueller probe but it has shut down parts of the doj. my sources are telling me the doj is seeking to put some cases on ice, include high-profile cases, including the president, the challenge of the asylum ban, challenge for the census deposition and more. judges, some of them are granting this. it's up to their discretion whether they put it down, some are granting them, some are rejecting them. but that's one way the shutdown is affecting president trump's own legal problems. >> interesting. pleasure to have you on, on this thursday. thank you very much. we wrap up as always with today's big picture. today comes from 30,000 feet. check it out. this is howell, he's a dad from ohio. he's on the left side of the screen. he spent his whole christmas flying on planes. why? because of the young lady on the right of your screen, his daughter. a flight attendant who had to work over the holidays so his dad thought he would join her by booking every flight sh

liz: i've heard from fbi agency, kimberly, that they feel the d.c.le of their own, that they follow a different set of rules than the other fbi offices around the country. what's your take on that? >> if you look at some of these questions that comey has brn asked, one of the things he's never been able to adequately explain is why the central fbi office took over, for instance, the hillary clinton investigation, trump investigation when there were field offices better swaited to do that. and there is a belief that there is a political element in the d.c. office. and i think there's a belief among many rank and file fbi that their leadership is sometimes the problem. liz: kimberly strassel, author of "the intimidation game" and other books. buy them for christmas. great stocking stuffers >>> thank you for having us in your home. it's been a jam packed hour. thank you so much for watching. lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network. have a good evening. lou: tboogood evening. our top stories. the president has now ordered the full and co

john heilman, ezra klein, kimberly atkins, thank you for starting us off tonight. we have breaking news tonight obviously about michael flynn's case. you heard all that in rachel's hour. we're going to go over it. his lawyers have filed a sentencing memo describing exactly how michael flynn lied to the fbi and just how much he's been cooperating with robert mueller. let's be honest. every insurance company tells you they can save you money. save up to 10% when you bundle with esurance. including me, esurance spokesperson dennis quaid. he's a pretty good spokesperson. ehhh. so when i say, "drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412," you probably won't believe me. hey, actor lady whose scene was cut. hi. but you can believe this esurance employee, nancy abraham. seriously, send her an email and ask her yourself. no emails... no emails. when insurance is affordable, it's surprisingly painless. introducing the new capital one savor card. earn 4% cash back on dining and 4% on entertainment. now when you go out, you cash in. what's in your wall

. >> it's a rather stunning story there, kimberly. i know you're a journalist who happens to be a lawyer. how big do you think this is just beyond -- this is day one of this story? >> this is a story that in another political reality could be potentially disastrous and end a political career. but just because it's coming on the same day that a former white house official found out that he's probably facing prison time, it seems to get lost, but it shouldn't b. it really is stored. there is a reason why we have rules governing charitable organizations, which are tax exempt, by the way, and they're that for a reason because they're meant to be used for others not personal in this way. and i think it's also a political problem for republicans who spent a lot of time if you recall making hay about the clinton foundation and allegiances that there was some pay to play scheme there. it's going to be difficult to for republicans to say what was going on with the trump foundation is fine, particularly if the president and his three eldest chi

kimberly, as a reporter, what do we make of this day. lot of lead stories at the top of the fold. >> it is. likely they are linked to one another. it's not coincidentally they are all happening. president trump rattled by the sentencing hearing earlier in the week decides to drop the syria news on everyone including general mattis. >> that's connection? help me there. >> general mattis has never been a fan of a full and sudden pullout in syria. if you recall, he walked president trump back from that in the past and president trump relented after bashar al assad engaged in another gas attack of people there in syria, his own people. this time when president trump dropped that and is considering that in afghanistan, it seemed like it was a bridge too far. he made it clear that he disagreed, that's why he was walking back. >> it seems that a lot of things are going on. we have a president agitated gearing up for a fight and he's getting them. >> mueller coming out and the stock market, we're all the frog in the pond on this. it's boiling ar

white house correspondent kimberly hocket in washington d.c. kimberly just how significant is this resolution in the senate and what will the chief. it's significant given the fact that it's bipartisan first of all that something that's pretty rare in the united states congress these days is typically very divided but on this issue this is a bipartisan resolution republicans as well as democrats support it so that is certainly notable also given the fact that this comes just one week after the administration the secretary of state the defense secretary said there was really no hard evidence that mohamed bin selman was in any way complicit the fact that these senators are now saying the cia director gina housefull says there's zero chance that might have been someone was not involved in the killing of. is certainly notable what this does folly is this puts pressure on the administration at a time when it is trying to preserve the ties that have been in place for decades this is a u.s. congress that we should point out holds the purse strings can

kimberly is a historic vote then a symbolic one at the same time that needs to be heeded by the white house and they just can't really ignore what it's lawmakers think. it shouldn't it can't but so far it has and that's why we've seen this action being taken in the senate this is extraordinary it's really a historic moment given the fact that what we're seeing is a co-equal branch of government checking the white house and checking its power for the first time we're seeing the sort of first incremental step in the shift to what many believe could be the tipping point of a decades old relationship between the united states and saudi arabia one that the united states has been increasingly uncomfortable with because concerns over human rights violations inside and outside saudi arabia as a result of saudi foreign policy so what we're seeing here is this vote in the senate the first time that the war powers act has been invoked by congress which is extraordinary and what this does is this not only challenges and the u.s. support for saudi arabia in yemen but it also condemns the kingdom's

that timing was not a coincidence. >> kimberly, it was mentioned jerry nasddler.meet the press". watch. >> the fact that he was lying to the american people about doing business in russia and that the kremlin knew he was lying gave the kremlin a hold over him and one question we have now is does the kremlin still have a hold over him? >> and over the weekend we caught up with dmitri. >> it's a step back to understand why this investigation is taking place and i think congressman nadler is getting to that. the involvement of russia in this deal with the president leaning in, do they have leverage over him? and that's a crucial -- once we get so far into the details, we forget about the purpose of this and that's the central question behind all that. certainly something that congressman nadler and other congressional democrats are looking deeply into. >> thank you all. more to come after the break including we take now a live look at lewis and sons funeral home in houston. president bush's casket will be heading to ellington field. it's called special air mission 41

remaining with us are kimberly atkins and sabrina siddiqui. sabrina, how do you explain this to the trump base? because if newt gingrich is right this is a moral issue. the trump base is as engaged as any citizen in this issue because this one we all have a share in. >> well, certainly this flies in the face of what fiscal conservatives have long argued and prioritized frankly when it comes to reducing the national debt. but some of that went out the window, frankly, last year when republicans passed the tax bill that was signed into law by the president that ballooned the deficit. and the fact that the president is dismissive of the debt because he won't be around to clean up this mess when we reach the point of crisis just reinforces that he's first and foremost concerned with himself and his own legacy as opposed to the impact of his policies. the question of course is what if anything he might be willing to do to address this issue when the new congress takes shape in january. some republicans have indicated they believe the popular progra

kimberly, this is an extraordinary proceeding. and the courtroom is about to pick back up gaiagain, and he u the t-word, treason. >> yes, leading up to this, we had been focus on the extent of michael flynn's cooperation, and why he had a lenient sentencing recommendation for prosecutors and what exactly, it was, and what information he gave in the 19 interviews that was so helpful to mueller's team, and now the judge is really focusinging in on the other side of that and the seriousness of the crimes for which he is receiving that leniency, and it is the judge who does have discretion, and he is not going to have to let him off as prosecutors and defense attorneys want him to go, and he is seeming to be exercising that role, and focusing on that aspect of it very seriously. if i were the defense attorney, i would be very nervous with by that. >> and still waiting for the judge to come in, and we will be getting the e-mails from the outside and the inside of the courthouse as well. and as you know, we have people inside of the cou

kimberly, let me start with you. here, this saudi story, on one hand, it's -- it feels separate from what mueller's doing and on the other hand, the larger picture here is, who has leverage with this president, suddenly seems as if that might be the greater question needing to be asked. >> i think that's exactly right. i mean, you have this case, which seems to be a textbook example of what the emoluments clause is about. there should not be foreign officials, foreign nationals, buying influence when it comes to the president of the united states. and here we have an example of where foreign nationals spent large amounts of money at a trump property, ostensibly to curry favor with the president of the united states. the trump administration. this is something that is not exactly new, we have seen since the election foreign nationals, diplomats saying, going to trump tower saying, yes, this is a great way to try to curry favor, to try to gain access to the president. the same thing with mar-a-lago. but with respect to

and the republican senate is kimberly of have come under some criticism in the past for not. being seen as not standing up to president trump on a number of issues but this would be an exception. absolutely this is an exception not only is this members of the democratic party that typically criticize a republican president but this is members of donald trump's owner republican party bob corker the republican who was leading this charge in this legislation made no secret about how he felt you have to remember that these senators have all listened to the the evidence that has been put forward by the cia director gina housefull the assessment we understand is very clear that it points to two in the killing of jamal khashoggi of the crown prince ordering that killing so what this legislation has done has two things it has condemned saudi arabia's actions in yemen which the united nations has repeatedly said is a humanitarian disaster the other thing that is done it's condemned the kingdom of saudi arabia for the murder of jim what this does is this keeps the story in the spotligh

kimberly, is this something the troops are thinking about when they hear from their president? should he be inserting politics here where it normally isn't? >> i think it's important to note that soldiers, troops, are allowed to have political opinions. they're usually only supposed to express this when they're not in uniform. that said, a lot of troops looking at social media feed support this president, feel like he's unleashed them in a way that the obama administration didn't with its reluctance to take some really aggressive action in syria over several years. that said, you also have another segment of that listening audience who don't like the decision to pull out of syria because it leaves the kurdish allies they've been working with high and dry. so i think you're going to have a mixed reception in a crowd like that. still, a lot of people listening to this president say he, yeah, he mixes everything up, so the lines a little fuzzy. that's why the supporters in that crowd would love what he had to say. >> all right. terrific inside from both of you. kimberly dozier, ma

cameras our white house correspondent kimberly how cute is live for us now in washington kimberly. well it's really hard to understand what happened except that we have the opportunity to see it for our very own eyes sensually the republican president clashing with the democratic leaders in the house of representatives in the senate they came to the white house the oval office looking for a deal on border security but offering the president just one point three billion in funding the president wanted five billion in funding and that's where things started to fall apart in very combative conversation. at legislating which is what we do right we're beginning to make it to your point you state your case that's what the house republican committee if they had the votes but there are no votes in the house a majority vote for a wall no matter where you start right if i needed the votes for the wall in the house i would have them in one session that would be done presently it doesn't help because we did ten democrats and i just put it on the list put it on a negotiation let me ask you this

this now william bomb has been picked by president trump for this role what do we know about him kimberly. well we're familiar with it he's a bit of a washington establishment figure he's well liked from both democrats and republicans but at the same time some of his past positions have been somewhat controversial we did hear from the president the last hour about this appointment he called it something praising the appointment essentially of william barr saying that during his tenure when he in fact held the position previously of attorney general under george herbert walker bush don't trump said during his tenure he showed unwavering it here as to the rule of law and certainly donald trump has made a priority of his presidency of law and order he does believe that this is a figure if confirmed by the senate that would continue those policies he's certainly shown some loyalty to to the president that is something that donald trump rises more than anything else he has at times criticized the moeller probe that is the. investigation into whether there was collusion as well as any ties betw

kimberly, i want to start with the elizabeth warren stuff. this is your beat, "boston herald."n world here? what are we -- is there something we're seeing here or you've seen for a while that we're only seeing now? >> look, i think and sadly enough we're two years out of the presidential election. i think what elizabeth warren's biggest problem is people are already getting tired of her. the presidential buzz around her has been going on for so long, and the pushback that she got after that terrible dna rollout, i would think that the staffers are trying to protect their future jobs and trying to distance themselves. >> her chief of staff is apparently meeting with beto o'rourke. >> correct. correct. >> oh, my goodness. >> already. >> i think that's a problem for her. there's been an alliance on how unpopular she is in massachusetts. voters in massachusetts hate it when their leaders run -- that's why mitt romney couldn't get re-elected governor. that's why duval patrick's popularity -- ask michael dukakis. that happens to everyone. but elizabeth warren possibly didn't realize

so let's talk about that let's go straight to kimberly how kid who's live for us in washington so kimberly what to me what are we to make of these two announcements. what we can make from these two announcements with regard to heather nauert he has repeatedly praised her work at the state department donald trump saying that she has been a quote supporter for a long time he certainly likes the fact that she has defended him from the podium where she has been the state department spokeswoman having said that many people are questioning her credentials whether or not she has the experience to replace nikki haley as u.s. ambassador to the united nations given the fact that prior to this she worked at the fox television network she's worked briefly with some foreign correspondents experience reporting experience including in baghdad but in terms of foreign policy or national security experience she certainly is very limited and when you comes to the. appointment for the attorney general this is another area where it appears that loyalty is what matters to this president not necessarily qualific
