i know that you met secret service agents in the past. these are the finest men and women i've ever worked with in my life. on it work there, they don't pay me to say this i been gone for a long time. it was an honor to work with them. these are not mercenaries! they are not sitting there waiting for paycheck to get their job done. they put themselves in line of fire every single day because they love this country and they are patriots, not politicians, nancy pelosi owes them a heartfelt apology and it better be legitimate because it's disgraceful. >> you watch a huge line form. not many will expected and i know the secret service agents that put up with and i would just say this, i've seen secret service agents put up with a lot of personalities. that i'm not entirely sure how the training works but it does work and their absolute gentlemen as well as being courageous and skilled at protecting the president and everyone else in the assignment. let's turn to, if we may, the idea that we have another caravan coming north. the mexican gover

if the secret service would work properly. he would do but there were secret what's already his name is saying that it should be secret service they should do the surveillance actually but now what we are facing a totally opposite side of it. does sound that so-called secret is this and downsizing that he is thinking about. that hero point us out there survivor less so this is the totally opposite you know and we. get well card lost to us and thanks to for our boss of the secret service to our us. he has to go because here is a huge boost to do this he said of the air he is totally ok and there are no real reasons to. this party and the silence and those the real reason why he had to leave is chair feel confident that there will be nothing found nothing that can hurt the f.d.a. the big no no cases of xenophobia racism will be uncovered. of course i am very confident of. perfect here you know i am speaking from my own experience i was also under some violence in bavaria a while i was the head of the french do i wish that. i had

she should have called secret service before and raised, hey, is this a problem? based on what i'm hearing from folks here in washington she didn't reach out. she didn't say hey, is this a concern? she made that asufrpg. that's what they do. >> i worked for the homeland security committee on the hill. the chairman of the homeland security who has responsibility overseeing the secret service is saying that he fully supports this recommendation of pelosi. >> let me take you a little broader. is this not what donald trump wants? we are all signature around talking about pelosi and donald trump, whether or not there's funding, whether or not the secret service can do this as opposed to hundreds of thousands if not millions of americans who are legitimately suffering because the republicans passed a bill to fend tund the governmen president trump says no. i won't fund it. >> do i think more drama works to his advantage? yes. do i think he planned it that way? no. i do have a lot of confidence the secret service would pull off a giant event even in the event of a shutdo

nobody checked with the secret service. the officials said we're ready for the state of the union, the secret service has been working for months on plans for the national special security event, which is the state of the union and despite the fact members of the secret service are not being made, it's a no-fail mission. again no, reaction from the president just yet. you can bet that when we get it, it will be a beauty. >> shepard: probably so. john roberts out in the yard. let's get to the hill now. team fox coverage continues. mike emanuel is reporting there. what are they saying? >> good afternoon. you have bipartisan senators making a pitch to president trump saying reopen the government for three weeks or so and give bipartisan senator as chance to hammer out a deal. >> rather than a letter, maybe the best thing to do is get a handful of people from both sides to see if they're willing to meet with the president. what i'm going to do is see if the president would entertain a meeting with some of us, if we can get a gr

secret service are fully prepared to support and secure this state of the union.t obama. good to see you. with pelosi citing security concerns due to the lapse in funding, you know, in contrast with dhs, you know, along with secret service saying they are prepared, what should anyone think? >> i think what we all should be thinking is once again protection is being politicized. so it really comes down to a matter of perspective and how you're going to lack ook at thi situation. the secret service, in a government shutdown, was successfully able to take the president of the united states to a war zone, to iraq. the fact they were able to do that, i think they can bring him to capitol hill and secure that site. they are present paired. secretary nielsen is correct. believe dhs is prepared, you know, from their perspective on the preparedness of this national special security event. it's less about the present pairedness and more about the performance of different entities that are, you know, supporting the mission of the secret service under this national special se

one of the agencies working without pay is the secret service.nd some agents are venting their frustration in a creative way. remember the secret service are passing around coins, challenge coins to boost morale. this is the front of the coin, says united states secret service, essential personnel. on the back it says don't worry, you'll get back pay in quotes, and open, closed. this is a nice detail. zoom in there, because they put a pacifier on the coin in case you're wondering what the secret service thinks of the 72-year-old baby they're sworn to take a bullet for. and while our politicians are plag playing ping-pong, 800,000 workers aren't getting paid. every night we've been giving a job to an unpaid worker, let's give a welcome to navy veteran veronica allen. what is it exactly that you do? >> i work for the u.s. forest service. >> jimmy: what is your job? >> i am the admin support assistant. >> jimmy: what does that mean? >> we handle all the clerical, paperwork, hiring. >> jimmy: all the hiring of whom? >> our seasonals and firefighters.

speaker pelosi cites security concerns that the secret service has rebutted.a national platform to make his case about border security. but remember, the constitution requires the president to deliver the state of the union, article 2, section 3, it's going to happen one way or the other. the only he question is whether or not it happens in person on january 29th. lauren: what do you make of the security concerns? there's the march for life in d.c. this weekend, the women's march also, kirstin nielsen says year fine, we can handle this. is there really a security concern? >> she was correct, after absol, when she said we shouldn't continue business as usual while there's a shutdown. the security concerns, i don't believe that to be entirely true. >> he's absolutely right. she wanted to send president trump a message and at the rate this is going, this could possibly backfire on her. i was thinking she doesn't want to do this the way it basically unfolded. it gives trump a window, an advantage to better make his case. lauren: when we're talking about the shutdo

we thank the secret service for their mission focus and dedication and for all they do each day to secure our homeland. by the way, another dhs official told fox the democratic leadership never reached out to the secret service to see if there indeed was a security issue. meanwhile, liz, the negotiations to try to resolve this stalemate, this government shutdown, continued today over here at the white house. you will remember yesterday, a handful of democrats said they would not come over here to meet with president trump. well, maybe a little bit of movement, incremental if nothing else, as democrats from a group known as the problem solver caucus did indeed come over to the white house today to sit down and talk with president trump. democratic congressman max rose of new york was one of them. >> we were able to listen as well to each other and discuss how we can get this government back open as quickly as possible, and he understands i hope sincerely that whether it's a secret service agent, a tsa agent, someone working for the coast guard, that people are now suffering. reporter: make

they said look, secret service agents are neutral people.e don't want to get them involved and we should keep them out of it. ken starr won that battle and the secret service agents testified before the grand jury. this is different because it's dealing with national security. although i've never heard of a president doing what donald trump did. i also worked in national security issues in the clinton white house. i have never heard of a president doing what donald trump did, but we have to recognize conversations between a president and foreign leader go to the very heart of our national security, our foreign policy enterprise. yes, it's terribly concerning if the president was doing something untoward in those conversations but we have to be very careful about setting a precedent where the congress has the ability to subpoena what was said in private one-on-one conversations between the president and a foreign leader. that goes to the heart of the executive function, and it presents a tremendous constitutional question. it will be fought i

because nobody in the congressional leadership reached out to secret service or the department of homeland security to say, hey, is your plan still okay for the state of the union or have you been squeezed by the shut down? in fact, the speaker of the house's office said they made the decision because the office of the speaker has been contacted by a furloughed dhs employee that expressed serious concerns that the department has insufficient staffing levels to sufficiently manage the security needs for the upcoming state of the union address. pelosi did say that the chairman of the homeland security committee, betty thompson, concurred that there was a security risk because dhs and the secret service have been unfunded, but again, nobody from the homeland security committee checked with the secret service or dhs. so they're just basically making assumptions what the security situation might be. given the fact there's a shut down, there's been a lot of furloughs and some call-outs so potentially there could be a problem. you might think they check with the people running security before the

why sort of use the secret service there?> i read her letter yesterday, and she doesn't say cancel it. she does say delay during the shutdown. i think that is appropriate. but you raised a separate related point that i think is very important, and that is the enormous patriotism and self-sacrifice of our government workers, whether it's the folks in the secret service, whether it's the folks that work for tsa. the hundreds of thousands who are showing up for work every day, even though they've now been without pay for quite some time, it really is inspiring and i just want to take a moment to thank them. from philadelphia, we have more federal workers than any other metro area in the country, so it shows you it's not just the washington, d.c. metro area that's faeaffected by this, it' all around the country. i deeply appreciate and admire their patriotism. one other point i want to make about this that probably even matters more to most americans in the state of the union, and that's the super bowl. with the super bowl coming

so what did the club do to conceal her from the secret service?> emma worked there in 2016, what she says is that there was a day where someone walked into the kitchen, she was working as a housekeeper at first, transferred to the kitchen, she cooked for the president and someone asked her to put her name, her social security number on a piece of paper. obviously she knew this could possibly be a problem so she walked over to human resources and said, i think we have a problem, i'm undocumented, my friends are undocumented. you guys know this. what are we going to do about this? and they said, you're right, give me the names of the people undocumented, we're going to strike them from the list. >> you're saying the management at the president's own club, when he's on the campaign in 2016, and he's running on mexico sending rapistes, on the wall, on all of the ways in which immigrants are destroying the country, his management at his own club is actively concealing from the secret service the identities of the immigrants who worked there. >> eight p
