shep? >> shepard: john, the president is travelling to nashville with one of his top republican critics, senator bob corker of tennessee. senator corker once called the white house an adult day care center and said that the president is utterly untruthful. the president gave the senator the nickname little bob corker and said he couldn't get elected dog catcher. the president and his team continuing to push back against the controversial new back from michael wolff which portrays the president unfit for office. top members of the trump administration making the rounds on the sunday talk shows to defend the president and blast the book. while the president's former chief strategist, steve bannon, issued a statement saying he regrets he didn't respond sooner to what he calls the book's inaccuracies. back to john roberts at the white house. john? >> what is interesting, shep, just to contrast that with where the president is going today, you can criticize the president as bob corker has and ra

hi, mike. >> hi, shep. the president says he could possibly extend the deadline and not boxing himself in. a republican who has been a frequent critic of this president is praising him on the immigration issue. >> on this issue, his instincts are better than the advice he gets. i was encouraged by it. assume the best, look for the good. >> john cornyn, in the middle of the immigration talks called this all pieces of a puzzle. cornyn said people will focus on one part of immigration reform and want to do that and not the rest. the president says the various components are part of a package and we expect the white house team to roll out its vision monday, shep. >> shepard: what are you hearing from democrats? >> chris coons told us the president wants to be kr constructi constructive. bipartisan lawmakers are trying to hammer out legislation. chuck schumer is emphasizing the clock is ticking hoping deadline pressure will force a result. >> this administration will start separating families, taking kids out of

>> absolutely, shep. you have that right.nder "the new york times" versus sullivan supreme court case, under the first amendment, if it's a public figure or public official, you'd have to show reckless disregard of the truth and factual statements, which is a very tall order. you almost never win those cases. in this situation, a lot of the things that are controversial that mr. bannon supposedly said in the book are matters of opinion, not fact. that's not even covered by defamation law. >> shepard: and then there's the matter of depositions. if you were to file such a thing, wouldn't the president have to give his side of things and be crossed? >> again, you're right about that. i think it might be a real tactical mistake by trump's lawyers to file this lawsuit. they would be opening themselves up to discovery. the other side would have document requests and look into things that the trump campaign may not want to have to disclose. >> shepard: on the book itself, you're saying that he cannot get an order to stop this book b

shep? >> shepard: john, we're hearing from democrats that from many of them firing mueller would be a red line. >> yeah, we heard many of the same things in june when the story first broke. adam schiff, the ranking member of the intelligence committee came out and said that if president trump were to fire robert mueller, then congress would take steps to implement the special counsel law again. we're hearing from senator mark warner of virginia that said firing the special counsel is a red line that the president cannot cross. any attempt to remove the special counsel, pardon key witnesses or otherwise interfere in the investigation would be a gross abuse of power and all members have the responsibility to make that clear immediately. from senator dianne feinstein of california, if he fires bob mueller, i expect congress won't stand for it and will take action. shep, we should point out, there's no indication that president trump now is thinking about firing robert mueller. he's been asked

hello, trace. >> hi, shep.t of the epiphany is an orthodox christian ritual to commemorate the baptism of jesus in the lake of jordan. the ceremony was hosted by having a priest cut the ice and lower the staircase in the water. president putin made his way to the lake in a fur coat and fur boots and stripped down to his trunks and made his way to the pool and made the sign of the cross and dipped his head under water. you mentioned he's been photoed shirtless many times, this is the first time he's taken his shirt off in public. every time president putin appears shirtless, russian tv talks about his peak physical fitness. many thing the 65-year-old leader has a dad bod. shep? >> he's taken part in this ceremony before though, right? >> yeah, we're told he's done itself times before. this is the first time he's done it in a public place. it's estimated more than a half million russians show up at some 4,000 sites across the country to mark the epiphany that happens between the 18th and 19th. this is based on th

shep? >> shepard: fox news has learned that lawmakers are investigating russian meddling and possible collusion. we'll get access to all investigative documents. this is after a deal with devin nunes. catherine, what is this about? >> congressman nunes is back in the headlines in a major way after an ethic committee cleared him from releasing information. under this new agreement, select house investigators get access to all remaining russian documents and eight key witnesses to include fbi agent peter strzok that sent anti-trump messages and lisa paige, james baker who was reassigned and a new addition to the list, the fbi's head of counter intelligence, bill presept. this group is significant because they were part of what director comey called his inner circle. a house intelligence committee democrat accuses republicans of limiting resources so they can't follow up on credible leads. without getting into specifics, the congressman alleged that he's seen evidence of legal violations. >> d

>> so first of all, shep, this is a really extraordinary day. prior to today, there's been this closed-door tussle between the fbi, the justice department and the white house on the release of this memo. today with this letter from chris wray and the fbi to the public, it's burst into the open into public view. so we now have a real clear intragovernment conflict going on. the fbi has made clear to both the white house now and to the house intelligence committee that the memo is inaccurate and they are obviously very opposed to its release. >> shepard: really is extraordinary that the man heading up this unusual warning is the man this president put into his position and it is he who is saying, mr. president, don't do this. last night it was the president that said i'm 100% going to do this. we shall see. the president is speaking or the tape play back is just beginning. stay with us. we'll talk more. listen. >> i want to start by saying i spoke with speaker ryan just a few moments ago. they're doing pretty good. the train accident was a tough o

>> good afternoon, shep. last year like every president has done before him, when it comes to giving the state of the union, the president is honing the final texts, going over edits, adjusting language and some themes. i'm told to pay very close attention to the north korea section of the speech. i'm told it's very tough and it may be the most memorable part of tonight's speech. they've worked on this for months. the first rough draft was released to the president sometime in december. the first actually presentable version wasn't given until he was on the plane to switzerland. the president is always at the center of any kind of writing around a state of the union address. let's put it on the screen. some of the other members of his team that have been working on this for months. includes mike pence, stephen miller, h.r. mcmaster, the national security adviser, rob porter, the staff secretary and two other aides that are helping to write the speech as well. miller is known for drawing a hard line on issues

>> shep, good afternoon to you. sources familiar with the investigation say it was absolutely expected that robert mueller would want to talk to the attorney general. after all, he was the chief foreign policy adviser to candidate donald trump during the campaign and he was at the very center of the comey firing last year. let's remember, too, that in addition to him meeting with sergei kisleak last year, he reflected to mention that in his confirmation hearing. that brought up the idea was mueller laying a perjury trap for sessions who seemed to have a problem recalling things. you can imagine mueller would want to talk to sessions for a couple reasons. was there collusion between the trump campaign and the russians in terms of trying to influence the u.s. elections and b, was there obstruction of justice in the firing of comey. it was shortly after the meeting became public that sessions decided to recuse himself from the russia investigation. white house officials today made no attempt to hide the fact that the p

hi, peter. >> hi, shep.ntion turns to how much support does a potential daca deal have. the word is that at this point, it's got more than enough support and that is coming directly from one of the democratic senators that changed their vote on this continuing resolution, which hinged on a potential daca deal from a no to a yes. democratic florida senator, bill nelson. >> when it gets to the end of the day, we will have 60 votes on the daca for the dreamers. and i think it may be more than 60 votes. that will put a lot of pressure on the house, put a lot of pressure on the president if the president is still not participating. >> in terms of timing, we keep hearing they want to have it wrapped up by march 5. despite today's continuing resolution deal is the word if you support this things for three weeks, we might have a daca solution by then. that's not really date that anybody is talking about. sounds like the original deadline still stands. shepard? >> shepard: the border wall or the security or a wall in

shep? >> shepard: the white house said the president has been pressuring investigators. >> when you look at the firing of james comey, the pressure on mccabe, the fact that rosenstein may be in the crosshairs as well, some people are saying the president is trying to influence this investigation. others would go so far to say he's trying to obstruct justice. sarah huckabee sanders this afternoon said that if there's pressure from the white house, it's only in one direction. listen here. >> the only thing that the president has applied pressure to is to make sure we get this resolved so you guys and everyone else can focus on the things that americans actually care about. that is making sure that everybody gets the russia fever out of their system once and for all, that you're all reminded again there was no collusion and that we can move forward to focus on things like national security, the economy and solving the immigration crisis that we have here in our country. >> as a monday afternoo

>> shep, good afternoon. a senior senate democrat notes that republicans are in power these days, so he's saying it's on the gop. >> the republicans control the house, they control the senate. they control the presidency. the government stays open if they want to stay open. it shuts down if they want it to shut down. it will be humiliating for the united states, humiliating for the president. i'd be amazed he'd want to humiliate himself that way. >> the senate republican whip says there's no reason to shut down the government late night friday night. >> it would be a terrible mistake to shut down the government. particularly while we're negotiating in good faith. because we're not meeting their deadline, that's not very productive. >> most folks expect a vote on a government funding extension until mid february at this week but they need enough votes to pass the house and the senate, shep. >> shepard: i know where we were thursday on immigration. do we know where we are now on immigration? >> they're still ta

shep? >> shepard: well, the substance of this transcript, though, what did we learn about the issue at hand? >> the issue at hand is fusion gps is, indeed, hired and working with mr. steele a shocking revelation that mr. simpson did not want at one point to discuss, but apparently somebody they say was killed, perhaps a russian officer or some one, but some one was killed and they didn't want to reveal too much information about sources to put people in jeopardy. >> shepard: good enough, thank you. we will have much more on special report tonight with brett baaier. if the special counsel asked to interview president trump for the russia investigation, can the president refuse? as we reported yesterday, sources say the president's legal team is preparing for a possible request from the special counsel ront mueller. president trump has said he would be willing to sit down with robert mueller and repeatedly denied there was could loose between his campaign and russia. what if he decides he dis

this was shep smith reporting. >> a memo can be a weapon of partisan mass distraction, especially at a pivotal moment in american history when it behooves the man in charge for supporters to believe the institutions can't be trusted. investigators are corrupt and the news media are liars. context matters. >> that was shep smith siding effectively with the critics with the way house republicans are going to release this memo. as a legal matter now, the last technicality is whether the president will formally release it within the next five days under the rule. your view of that theory, shep smith arguing that this is part of a broader piece of trump and his allies trying to discredit all the institutions of accountability, not only the mueller probe per se, but the press and facts themselves. >> shep is absolutely correct, in fact, i have heard his very thoughtful analysis in times past. the fbi is one of the legs, one of the components of national security in this nation, cia, army intelligence, homeland security is a part of it. and a number of other agencies are the pillars of our

shep smith after the break. patrick woke up with back pain. but he has work to do. took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast. 3:00 in the east. an enormous snowstorm the clamming the coast. a bomb cyclone even. paling in comparison to the political winds blowing in washington. the white house now attempting to stop the publication of a controversial book which contains extraordinary stories from inside the white house and explosive quotes from steve bannon. bannon himself now talking about the turmoil, even as the white house orders him to knock it off. we'll have the fight, the fallout and what may be the future happening now. plus, words the justice department will unleash federal prosecutors to enforce marijuana laws in states which

know if you know who this is, this is sophia the robot, and she is the first robot that has citizen shep. she's been made a citizen of saudi arabia. if you think sophia is the least trustworthy person on the slide, say boo now. okay. so the robot is more trustworthy than the president of the united states, but we don't need to worry about that right now. okay. so let's do this in reverse. you're now -- you can clap. so i'd like you to clap for the company you think is the most trustworthy. so if you think google is the most trustworthy company on slide, clap now. [applause] >> i describe that as tend, but facebook. who thinks facebook is the most trust or worthy company on this slide? no one. amazon. [applause] so i think amazon and google were, i don't know, maybe amazon was slightly ahead. but it's virtually a rubbish exercise, but i made you to do it because i thought that one of you might say to me, rachel, trust them to do what? and this is a really important point, and it's something that i find very hard when i open up the newspapers or i listen to the media. the way that we're ta

context, matters. . >> wow, shep smith for president. is michael steele, let me, let me ask you about the republican party and all of their efforts to undermine the investigation, all of the smoke screen, the lies about the obama wiretapping, the lies about the unmacking, the lies about the secret society. the lies about uranium one. the lies that somehow there was a sell of uranium that the russians took over to their country when in fact, no uranium ever leaves the united states. the lies about the dossier funding. the lies about all of this. all to distract for donald trump. it's as if this republican party does not understand that voters are going to their polling places this fall, and this is all going to be part of some of the most devastating 30-second ads shows these members to be guilty of political obstruction of justice. >> i think that's a real big risk for this party at this point because they have spent an inordinant amount of time protecting a man who quite honestly has no interest in protecting them and that's, that's stu

. >> love that bruce the shep. here's what we'll do with pet hair.th the "good housekeeping" seal static guard. you'll spray it on thetery. >> sorry, lara. >> i could use it actually. >> static guard. safe for everything. >> two for one. >> you'll take your glove and get it damp and then watch this. >> that's unbelievleh-h. >> wow. >> so easy, right? so easy. and, again, this is really satisfying. if you have -- this is upholstered. if you have anything silk upholstered. don't use a damp glove but use the glove as it. >> you don't want to stain with the water. >> i have many dogs. >> yes, these are great. so simple, lori. >> really simple and fun is this thank you so much. very simple, easy. >>> coming up we'll have more with sharon stone and her co-star garrett hedlund. we'll be right back. [ applause ] >>> back now with the star of "mosaic," sharon stone and garrett hedlund. wow. had to bring you back to talk more about this, rave reviews. rave reviews from our audience right here as well. the most innovative series ever. that's how it's being bill

the habit of quoting fox news very often, certainly not their news hosts, but one of their hosts, shep smith, said something that struck a cord in the last few days. here's what he said about the so-called nunes memo. a memo can be a weapon of partisan mass distraction. that's exactly what this is. a desperate attempt to protect president trump from investigation and accountability and i think we need to recap a few facts that brought us to this point. back in november, 2016, when the chairman of the house intelligence committee was appointed to president-elect trump's transition team, he, like our president, started sowing doubts about whether russia had interfered with the 2016 election. incorrectly claiming that there was some kind of disagreement between our intelligence agencies on the subject. in fact, there was that disagreement. all of the american intelligence community agreed. as they had looked into this, they determined that russian operatives had worked to undermine the inteckity of our election. that conclusion has been reinforced and reaffirmed by everything we have seen
