peter doocy live on capitol hill where it seems very quiet up there. i see some tours behind you, peter, but is there any hope in sight that this stalemate is going to come to an end? >> no, not really. the only thing out there is the $5 billion out there in border wall money that got stuck in the senate. there are some republicans in the senate who want leaders to take another look at that. >> my feeling is this is so important. this is an emergency. this is the defense of our nation. the 60 vote rule, the filibuster rule in the senate should be suspended to allow this appropriations bill to go forward and give the press on the money he needs. let's get the government back open again, but let's also protect our southern borders. >> so he wants to change the rule so that they can pass this with 51 votes instead of 60 votes. the problem is mitch mcconnell is very protective, and he isn't even here today. i just walked by his office, and there's a big stack of newspapers still piled up outside of the door. >> ed: not a lot of people working there on the h

"the service dog, sully, just paid his respects inside the rotunda, circling the casket and laying down beside it on a leash held at times by the former dhs secretary and pencil been a governor, tom ridge. they were joined by several beneficiaries of the americans with disabilities act, which was signed into law by the late president in 1990. military leaders who served under the commander in chief bush came to salute him a final time today, including the chairman of the joint chiefs during operation desert storm. general colin

peter doocy reporting live from capitol hill. >> shep, the president service's dog, sully, that flewrom texas with the late president went to the rotunda and laid by the casket. many people have told us today that they were motivated to say thanks. the bush family is staying at the blair house. son jeb kept a commitment to speak at a ceo forum to speak about his late father's health struggles. >> really uncomfortable with people taking care of him. a challenge for people really in that situation as they lose their dignity or they think they do. so i was very, you know -- it's sad to watch that as someone that loves my dad. he never complaint. he was always in good humor. >> his sister-in-law, the former first lady, laura bush just wrapped up a tour of the white house from the current first lady, melania trump and the president is supposed to go to the blair house and meet with the bushes in a bit, shep. >> shepard: i see a lot of people. what are the lines like? >> it talks about an hour or more to get into the rotunda. people just say they want to be a part of something historic. th

team fox coverage continues, peter doocy is up on the hill.sts behind you and not a lot of members of congress. >> that's it, and republicans wherever they are don't want to give up an inch. senator lindsey graham just tweeted this. he wrote "to nancy pelosi in the house democrats, no wall money, no deal." and there are no key members on the hill this morning to sort any of this out, just tourists looking around as a clock ticks away on paul ryan's tenure as speaker. the republican seem satisfied and they got stuck in the senate. white house officials apparently have that in a message to democratic leaders but were told, no thanks. of those democrats never made a counter offer before leaving town. now one of the former democrats we seen on the hill is taking pot shots at president trump. >> i think it's an embarrassment any time the government shuts down and this being no exception. we need to work at it until we get to an agreement where the majority say yes. and i think we had that untold the president went off his meds and, who knows what h

peter doocy is life. scheduled to be back for an hour today. i make it, peter? >> the break that they give themselves after failing to pass a bill that would avoid a partial government shutdown is going to end this afternoon when both chambers come and just after 4:00, but the hallways not filled with lawmakers. of the, with the exception of a few tourists, are empty. >> not much is happening in washington as best as i can tell. the present needs to sign a bill, schumer needs to get ten votes for it to pass in the senate. hopefully when schumer decides that he agrees we need security on our mexico border, we will be able to go back to work. >> lawmakers are tweeting. a kamala harris is framing the impact of the shots on like this. she says as you head back home this week, remember, approximately 53,000 tsa agents are not being paid to be at work right now during one of the busiest travel times of the year. please be sure to be patient during this time. we don't know if democratic leaders are willing to agree to any tax dollars, but it does seem like they have re

as peter doocy reports, the next time either chamber will be in, that is monday. >> senators still strugglingith the solution to the shutdown came back from christmas vacation today and then they left, after 3 minutes and 52 seconds. lawmakers left the house after just 2 minutes. hallways were empty and many office doors remained shut today. the most lawmakers weighed in on the shutdown from home or from vacation. there is no rush to get back because the majority whip sent this email. members are advised that no votes are expected in the house this week. >> the last 48 hours i would say that the needle has moved towards a very long shutdown. just because of the impact that we are seeing and the unwillingness of the democrats to actually engage in meaningful dialogue. >> meadows and the house caucus pushed president trump to reject any spending bill that didn't include a sizable down payment for a border wall. five billion dollars will disappear when democrats take over. the clock is taking for the g.o.p. to take advantage. >> that was a compromise, down payment on the wall. not fully funding

>> julie: peter doocy, thank you very much. i want to bring in our panel now, first of all, rachel, let me ask you. the president had some strong words for democrats, basically saying he will go to great lengths in order to get this wall if they don't do what he asks. what chance does he have, seriously, to do this, considering by next week the democrats are in control. you know the democrats are not going to give him his wall, what kind of bargaining power do we have? >> rachel: his bargaining power would increase if he gets out a message is more. twitter has been great but it's not enough. we had a police officer die at the hands of an illegal immigrant just yesterday. it was absolutely tragic. but this is more than just the crime that comes over the border, we have drugs that are coming over the border that are demonstrating communities. entire counties that can't afford to the child welfare happening because so many families are falling under drug addition addiction and i think he needs to make the case to the american peop

peter doocy outside this evening. my next guest served as president bush's first white house chief of staff. this clip takes us to the beginning of their relationship. watch. >> pleased to announce my decision to appoint governor john sununu as chief of staff for my administration. the job of chief of staff requires the ability to lead, to motivate, to direct an important organization in the best interest of the country. john sununu has that background and experience necessary. >> martha: governor johnson into who attended the ceremony this evening joins me now. he joined us frequently. i'm sure this is a moving and difficult evening, governer sununu. >> martha, it's a day of mixed emotions. we are here to mourn our friend and also to celebrate the life of a great president. psychologically you get yourself whiplash a little bit. but it was a moving ceremony at a fitting ceremony for president who served this country not only well but with a style that i think everybody appreciates. >> talk to us a little bit about yo

. >> dana: peter doocy's on capitol hill, but we begin with mike emanuel. >> dana, good afternoon.hen you consider it's a club that has when it's time to say farewell to a former president, it is truly extraordinary. as you mentioned, the body of former president george herbert walker bush and his family took off from houston's ellington field at less than two hours ago. on its way to joint base andrews and at the washington, d.c., area. there will be a special honor guard at andrews greeting the body of the former president including the chairman of the joint chiefs, the service brand chiefs and also other military dignitaries. then on capitol hill we expect formal ceremonies, including senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, and america the beautiful will be performed by the united states naval academy glee club and there will be representing the house, ryan and leader nancy pelosi will lay a wreath and the vice president is expected to be on behalf of white house. earlier president trump tweeted looking forward to being with the bush family to pay my respects toward president ge

peter doocy is on capitol hill. what was his mood like at the white house today?e it is christmas time. he and congressional leaders came into the room, trying to figure out if they have gotten some folks within the republican party who are for the wall. >> we are going to move today to add language to the bill that they sent over to add $5 million for the wall as well as the disaster really funding that has been agreed upon for the hurricanes and the wildfires. so we will move that later on today. >> the blame game has already started. chuck schumer says it's all president trump's fault. >> he's been demanding it for six months, and of course, when later pelosi and i went to the white house, he demanded it in front of all of the american people. now, compounding the, vetoing the last train out of the station, would be doubling down on his responsibility for a christmas shutdown. and every single american would know it. >> his most conservative allies pushing him to address wall funding before nancy pelosi takes over at the beginning of the air. they are getting t

peter doocy has more. >> shep, house leaders were nor tight lipped than the senate leaders were aboutarrived at the same conclusion, that the u.s. saudi relationship should be retooled. >> we need to have an assessment of our relationship with saudi arabia. we'll see what comes out of these hearings. clearly what happened to mr. khaishoggi is a tragic and makes our job a little more difficult. >> top officials in the trump administration are arriving at different conclusions about the intel. the secretary of state mike pompeo says new evidence could still pop up. >> they're still working on this. this is a still a developing set of facts. the intelligence community is working on it. the direct evidence isn't yet available. may show up tomorrow, may have showed up overnight and i haven't seen it. >> and right now on the floor of the senate, a bipartisan push to send saudi arabia a signal, probably a strongly-worded resolution and something interesting about this vote, the majority of the senate, who almost votes against things that he brings to the floor is telling people to vote again

peter doocy has the pages. >> a lot of pages. we haven't gotten through them yet.some interesting parts of this that tie into the court case that was -- the court proceedings a little bit awhile ago down the street at the u.s. district court with michael flynn. it was revealed in a memo last night that fbi agents indicated to flynn and he seemed to indicate to them that everybody knew flynn's phone calls were being reported. there was a question why would the fbi need to ask michael flynn about conversations they knew about? comey said i'm only hesitating because if there were other communications, other phones, other means of communication, we wouldn't know that. we had clear transcripts of the conversations we had. there was also a question in the flynn proceedings about whether or not the fbi permitted mr. flynn, general flynn, to have an attorney there, whether he knew he could have an attorney there and comey said -- he was asked about an interview that he gave in new york city where he said yeah, that would be the norm in a bush administration or obama admini

peter doocy is reporting live on capitol hill. hi, peter. >> you heard a little bit of it there. the president spent some time reminding the democratic leaders what happened during the last big funding fight. that's when republicans quickly branded it the schumer shut down and it was politically damaging for the democrats. so the democrats already out there, they're calling this the trump shut down even though nothing is finalized yet. >> the bottom line is simple. the president made clear that he wants a shut down. his position, if he sticks to his position for $5 billion wall, he will get no wall and he will get a shut down. >> schumer and pelosi both seem surprised that the cameras kept rolling and the press just stood there once their meeting began. they kept asking the president for the conversation to continue privately. that didn't happen for a while. pelosi says that she's never been part of a meeting like that because normally things stick to more of a structure. >> the presentation to the press today. so when i said let's have this conversation, they said you want to ke

peter doocy reporting live from capitol hill. >> shep, the bill packed 87-12.h margin for the united states senate. but it had brought bipartisan support by lawmakers that seemed ready to concede that the u.s. government's strategy in the war on drugs needed tweaking. >> let me preface my remarks by telling you about the worst vote i ever cast as a member of congress. it was in the house of representatives, 1986 and because we were scared to death of crack cocaine, which was showing up all over america, we created 100 to 1 disparity between crack cocaine and powder cocaine sentencing. the net result would be to scare america straight in terms of the danger of this drug and it backfired. >> more than 2,500 people in prison right now for crack cocaine offenses would be able to go and ask a judge for a reduced sentence if the first step act becomes the law of the land and give judges a sentencing ability and let repeat drug offenders who keep getting caught and reach their three strikes ask a judge for 25 years instead of life. >> how do you eat 10,000 marshmallow

peter doocy is on capitol hill. we will look at whether or not the dems are ever going to budge. >> i just talked to the republican freedom caucus. the lack of progress, border funding in the last 48 hours, has him thinking this could be a very long shutdown. of mark meadows is one of the conservatives who talked president trump into staying from and not accepting any kind of a bill that did not put a lot of money towards the border wall. that is consistent with what the number two you just said. there is no end in sight to the shutdown. the minority leader, chuck schumer, being tempted to find a middle ground, but so far nothing. the democrats take over the house in a week, and when they do, that is $5 million, but tabled by the senate, it is going to disappear. if republicans are going to take advantage of their majority in the house, they are going to do it with a very, very tight schedule because steve scalise just sent everyone an email that says no more votes today or tomorrow. trish. >> trish: surprise, surpr

peter doocy on capitol hill. thank you, peter.nue now with the special "inside the issues." this week the president announced withdrawal of the american troops from syria. 2,000 of them. the move shock and horrified pretty much everybody in permanent washington. the city seemed stunned by the news. hard to see why, though. american forces went to syria to contain the islamic state. they succeeded thankfully. trump is bringing them home. just as he pledged to. naturally, the neo kahns were apoplectic. >> what you have done is set us back. we are not the policemen of the world. i understand that. but we are glue to hold the world together. so the decision is a disaster on multiple fronts and i hope it can be changed. >> so unless they continue to die in pointless conflicts the world will collapse. that is the tenet of the theology. no surprise there. at least they're consistent. but what is amazing how the democrats responded. the peace party has become the party of american war. pulling them out of a distant country after excellent

peter doocy has the latest from capitol hill. peter?> harris, right now the wait to get into see the president lying in state is about an hour. you can see behind me, there are a couple thousand people out here in the cold. once they get inside, they meet a security checkpoint that then snakes through multiple basement hallways, all the way until the rotunda. people can pay their respects here until 7:00 a.m. all through the night. but, a lot of people close to the bushes are doing it. that includes the service dog, sully, who just saw walk around the bush's flag have been draped casket and lay beside her for a few minutes. he was flanked by beneficiaries of the americans with disabilities act, signed by the late president bush back in 1990. members of his service detail who spend years or decades with him came to salute him, as well. so did colin powell, who was treatment of the joint chiefs during desert storm while bush was the commander in chief. the rotunda is very quiet inside, despite dozens of people shuffling in and out every f

peter doocy live on the hill with where the shutdown sits at this hour. and kristen fisher with the story that impacts the immigration fight. good evening. >> good evening, ed. this is definitely a blow to the president's immigration policies. what this means is that people who cross in to the united states illegally will still be allowed to claim asylum. remember, the trump administration has been trying to impose a new policy only allowing asylum claims made at specific points of entry. last month a u.s. district judge in san francisco ruled the new policies violated u.s. immigration laws. then the ninth circuit court of appeals which president trump called a big thorn in our side on multiple issues refused the administration's request to lift that lower judge's order. which brings us to today. when the supreme court sided with the ninth circuit and denied the trump administration request. that it be allowed to enforce the new policies immediately. the court was split 5-4 with chief justice john roberts casting the deciding vote. four justices granted t

. >> harris: peter doocy is following what's happening now and capitol hill with us. peter?rris, if this funding fight is going to be about the wall, house leaders are trying to figure out right now if they could pass a spending bill that just to fund the wall and nothing else. >> everybody knows, good common sense -- we should be able to secure our southern border. we need to stand firm and get that done. i do think, contrary to what pelosi has said, i do think there are the votes in the house to get that done. i just hope our leadership puts that bill on the floor. the full $5 billion for the wall. >> if $5 billion worth of wall money was to pass the house, it would have a really tough time clearing the senate. but, the white house still wants this fight. >> we are going to do whatever is necessary to build the board are welcome to stop this ongoing crisis of illegal immigration. this is a very -- if it comes to it, absolutely. this is a very fundamental issue. at stake is the question of whether or not the united states remain the sovereign country. >> now those democrats

peter doocy explains. >> they want emails to pitch information to reporters. rising star alexandria ocasio-cortez writes this is a terrible idea. another official ken martin told the "wall street journal" the dnc doesn't realize they are slitting their own throats. he doesn't want them directly involved with the voter files. he said this would result in a splintering of the eco-system. we are perplexed by this proposal. >> when tom took over as the chairman an of the dnc the data operation was in a complete shamble. that was the first order of business. there is no surprise there will be a debate internally. it spilled out publicly. >> the trump campaign is trying to stay ahead making a data guru campaign manager. >> what matters most is that we get it right. a dnc without a strong data operation, it's irrelevant. >> the dnc drama unfolded over mass email this weekend. but we might have a better idea where the power over the democrat's data is headed. >> shannon: another disruption in the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia. the kingdom is rebuking u.s. senato

joining us now morgan ortega and peter doocy. here are the rules.uestion to answer it. you answer of a say your name. if you get it wrong we detract a point. best of 5 wins. are you ready? >> ready. >> question 1. which caucasian 76-year-old sis-gender male announced he is the most qualified person in america to be president? >> i don't know about the first part of that. >> tucker: i just read the scripts. >> it's joe biden. is that worth 2 points? >> tucker: we will find out. >> joe biden said wait an amtrak minute here. i am the most qualified person to be president he said. >> tucker: i don't know what sis-gender means. that's the first and last time i will use the term. you are right. question number 2. politicians come up with excuses for their short comings. this week the best on record. which not so bright democratic senator said that her party has problems relating to americans because they are just too smart? >> oh! >> the democratic party is just unsmart from this unsmart senator. >> is it maisy who is too smart? >> tucker: asked what demo

peter doocy is at the white house with who the president is eyeing, peter?nsley heather nauert is said to become the trump nominee to face a senate nominee hearing since brett kavanaugh. be on the lookout for any minute for a tweet about a official word about promoting the secretary of state mike pompeo heather nauert who previously worked here after the fox news. a big question now becomes if confirm would nauert serve as a cabinet level official like outgoing commissioner nikki haley did? officials don't necessarily want this to be a cabinet level position anymore the president also has a vacancy at the justice department left by jeff sessions and it's apparently looking to try to install former president george h.w. bush's attorney general william barr. this is not somebody the president knows but somebody who does have a business background since the president sings he had a long career at verizon after the doj and barr is somebody who seems to sympathize with the president's problem with the fbi director that he fired. barr has said in recent interviews

peter doocy is on capitol hill with more. is there anything conservatives in the house can actually do to stop this continuing resolution? >> julie, they are expecting this short term budget to pass the house but hoping that president trump then refuses to sign it. >> mr. president, we're going to back you up if you veto this bill. we'll be there. but more importantly, the american people will be there. they will be there to support you. let's build the wall and make sure that we do our job in congress. >> the president's most conservative allies in congress are warning that his 2020 campaign for reelection will be a rocky road if he bails on a border wall. they want to fight while paul ryan is still speaker instead of february when nancy pelosi takes over. she is happy to wait. democrats are committed to fully responsibly funding the government in january. in the meantime we'll support the continuing resolution to keep government open and working for the people. only 83% of house members actually showed up for the votes last
