of steel as well. from bass boats to beer cans, a lot of aluminum out there. we got an aluminum manufacturer that closed down, but with special electric rates is reopening under new management. and so clearly we're concerned about those new jobs, but also concerned about all the jobs, whether it's in the electric steel area, or the aluminum area, very price sensitive here. >> good. and i understand that very well. one thing i just -- i do want to tell you, we just got this notice, general motors in korea announces the first step in necessary restructuring. they're going to gm korea company announced today it will cease production and close its plant in may of 2018. they're going to move back to detroit. you don't hear these things except for the fact that president trump became president. believe me, you wouldn't be hearing that. they're moving back from korea to detroit. you saw chrysler moving from mexico to michigan. and you have many other companies, all want to be where the action is, the big tax

steele's work, but the clinton associates work from temporarily feeding mr. steele's allegations.t raises huge additional concerns about his credibility. let me slow down here. in addition to hillary clinton buying and paying a bought and paid for 12 plus million dollar phony, fake news russian propaganda dossier to influence the election, if that's not bad enough, you have clinton associates and the obama state department funneling allegations for a second dossier to christopher steele. watch the second part in terms of the new memo that came out today. on the face, the dossier appears that mr. steele gathered much of his information -- let's do this really slow. from russian government sourcesf inside of russia, according to the law firm, mr. steele's dossiers were funded through fusion gps on behalf of the democratic national committee and the clinton campaign. the senators are saying that steele was using russian sources to help them smear then candidate and later on incoming president donald trump. the second memo is also accusing christopher steele of lying either to the fbi

the source for the story for isikoff was christopher steel. the fbi never corroborated the information from two different sources and they presented it to the judge like it was two sources corroborating the same thing for that was never the case. as it relates to steele, he was also suspended and terminated as an fbi source for leaking to the media. the memo also exposes the demoted doj official bruise or, maintained a close relationship with steele. we know that bruce orr had an office for code doors down from generate a journey a general -- specifically hired to build that trump dossier. she was kind of paid by the clintons when you look at it logically. as "the daily caller" points out, sure does look like using gps was trying to buy influence in the obama state deferments. bruce ohr revealed that during september 2016, steele said he was, quote, desperate, desperate that donald trump not get elected, passionate not him being president. the memo also exposes during the initial application for the fisa warrant, the counter intel divisions at

what is states is steele admitted to ohr against then candidate trump in september 2016 when steele told that he, steele, was desperate that trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president. so that information goes to the idea that steele had a political agenda when he was gathering this information and they were being mangled by the dnc and the clinton campaign. and if i could, i do know a little bit about the democrats version of the memo. i know you are asking john about that. the democrats version is ten pages. their argument all along has been that the republican drafted memo is inaccurate because key facts are left out. so what i anticipate is that it's more fulsome in its reporting to make the argument that the republican version which is about half the length is not a full picture of what actually happened. if i could just make one final point, most americans aren't familiar with the fisa court. it's the most secret court in the entire united states and i would argue is really on a plane with the supreme court because these justices have to make decisions a

steel in the united states.at the same time, auto parts manufacturers who used the steel began to cut jobs and move outside our country because they could buy the steel, make the part and ship it back in without any tariff. we found there were ten times as many people in steel using industries as there were in steel producing industries and so according to the auto manufacturers they lost more jobs and exist in the steel industry. so the questions will be, will raise prices. >> nothing worked for bush but it worked for others. it did work for others. it did not work for bush. >> i'm not recommending any solution, i'm just saying it's worth looking at what happened because it back fired and raised prices and lost jobs in the other 62nd story is that my dad worked for the smelting plant in tennessee. we don't have those for aluminum anymore because you have to use a lot of electricity to make them and never coming back. i think we only have six left. so now were lucky enough there to be making auto parts from alum

america's steel industry has been in sad shape for two decades dozens of steel plants have shut down at the cost of almost fifty thousand jobs at the same time subsidize steel plants in china are running at full blast spewing cheap steel onto markets around the world eighteen years ago over half of the world's steel market was shared by europe the united states and china but by twenty sixteen china had gobbled up market share and the steel industry in the u.s. and europe went into steep decline. measures adopted by both brussels and washington to stop the inflow will keep chinese steel were useless in the meantime the united states is a virtually stopped buying chinese steel steel from europe now represents fourteen percent of imports so if the u.s. makes more moves to curb imports of foreign steel they will definitely be more damaging to european than chinese steel makers european companies like to sing and . are likely to be the first to be affected. and that's it from me and the business team. have an update for you in the next hour in the meantime do check out twitter and faceboo

that remains an open question. >> did you reach out to steel or did steel reach out to you?ch we did today. i laid it out that glen simpson a old friend of mine turned private investigator invited me to a meeting at washington restaurant to meet christopher steel. that's the first time i met him. >> his credentials seemed legitimate? >> i checked him out. he was who he said he was. i talked to people who dealt with him. he had been -- he was mi 6. the british intelligence agency. he was the specialist. a source for the fbi. on one of the main investigations in to corruption in the world soccer league. and he was a known quantity to the fbi. and to the u.s. state department. >> michael, great to have you. >>> much more on all this the latest from the white house. and the what democratic congressman eric swalwell has to say about the memo and the repercussions when 360 continues. corrects the salt imbalance that causes dry eye. so your eyes will thank you. more than eye drops, dry eye therapy. theratears®. >>> topping this hour of 360. take a memo. please. the long awaited hot

election a plot steele said was ordered by vladimir putin. the fbi investigators treated steele as a peer, a russia expert so well trusted he assisted the justice department on past case, he provided briefing materials for british prime ministers and at least one u.s. president. during intense questioning that day in rome, they alluded to some of their own findings of ties between russia and the trump campaign." so this is new information. by this point, by the fall, september or october, 2016, before the election, christopher steele had been a key source for the fbi in its investigation of corruption in international soccer. that was an investigation that led to 14 soccer executives getting charged in the united states. in private practice as an investigator in 2014 and 2015 he passed along intelligence he gathered on russia and ukraine to the u.s. state department. "he offered us that reporting free so we also could benefit from it." after he started working on the trump research in 2016 where his initial findings to him were so hair-raisin

steele. mr. steele of course then put that information into the trump dossier and that was then fed to the fbi and led to the fisa warrant. it just keeps getting dirtier and dirtyier. >> it really does. you remember what the nunes memo showed is what bruce ohr was doing with his wife. he knew he had met with christopher steele during the campaign and his wife nellie worked for fusion gps but what that showed was there was a steady pipeline of information going from steele and the people he was getting information from directly to the justice department via bruce ohr and the revelations about the state department are very similar. it's a pipeline between the clinton campaign, members of the obama administration, and the law enforcement agency. that's a huge problem. that is not the way the government is supposed to operate and to dig up dirt and lander it through the government boroughs give me a break. david: well particularly when that was being graded by a political campaign embroiled right in

upstream part the steel industry is that there are tens of millions of jobs downstream of basic steelere's 80,000 jobs in the steel industry, so you are putting at risk all of the downstream steel buyers and users if you put tariffs on the upstream products. for our bloomberg audience, a chart showing steel imports into the u.s. have been teadily falling. what actions have been put in place to restrict imports? 160erly: that are already on 25umping duties different products that the steel industry has been successful with. duty casesdumping impose tariffs on those products, so the steel industry has been successful in using trade cases that they have. section 232, if the president imposes tariffs, will be on top of the tariffs that already exist for the steel industry. sense because a you know this industry well, how many people employed in your industry, and how sensitive are s in prices to increase tariffs and steel? the coalition i represent, the 16 associations, are the tip of the iceberg, and we represent over a million jobs. if we havef facts restrictions on raw materials are ph

i think chris, it was someone chris steele knows. chris steele knows bruce ohr and he told bruce what p happened a wanted more information. the context of this it was after the eelection, a very surprisin thing happened, donald trump won we were enormously concerned about rapidly accumulating indications the russian government mounted an attack on the system and that, you know, donald trump and associates might have been involved and there was a lot of alarming things happening including trump saying things about vladimir putin that didn't make sense and weren't ordinary things for a republican to say and, you know, anyway, and we had also by this time given this information to the fbi. they indicateed to chrd to chri were investigating and told "the new york times" they weren't. that's about this article published on october 31st before the election, investigating donald trump, fbi sees no clear link to russia. the substantive claims in the "new york times" article have all basically been disproven. there is a raging debate why they

>> the article reported that steel who is now identified was working with the fbi. if the fbi was right in a sense, it revealed a connection, terminated and sourced -- as has been reported, i don't know anything that would where different than this. steel didn't have an official relationship with the fbi. >> there's so much deliberate par fog, when this memo says terminated as a result of contact with you, if there wasn't a formal relationship, you're reporting for us tonight, that that might be an exaggerati exaggeration, that word terminated? >> it sounds like they're talking about an official relationship. it's my understanding that at that point they didn't work with him, or were worried about working with him because he was talking to me and other reporters. but terminating him as an informant makes it sounds like they had an official relationship, and as has been reported, that's not true. it makes me wonder about everything else, mike's piece is being used extensively in the cap indicatio application, we don't know what extensively means. it's an impossible d

steele himself never traveled there.nd i think that the fsb, russia's internal security police, would have detected his efforts to collect information from russian sources on the campaign, on the trump campaign, and on donald trump. and then i think that they would have sought potentially to use that as a channel to weaponize disinformation against us. it would absolutely fit with the fsb playbook, with the kjb playbook, as well. >> so some people look at the steele dossier, and they question contents and say, that's not true. but there are aspects of it that have been borne out. how does that factor into your analysis that this could have all been the product of espionage? >> right. so the russian intelligence modus operandi when they're feeding you information, whether it's a double agent operation or propaganda, is to give you a high percentage of information that's true. 90, 95% might be true. and that's to create -- for the reader, at least, a picture that, well, this looks like a pretty good report. it enhances the

that steele knows. smearing him now is almost after the fact. >> that's right. and, look, if steele has it and mueller has it, and if there are bread crumbs about the trump family's finances in connection to russia that aren't in the public domain, the special counsel has them. what the pro trump faction wants you to think about this, steele is a guy who hated trump and went out to find bad stuff about him. instead of a guy who went out to look into him and found this bad stuff and reported it. there is no indication that he was a big partisan in this story, he was somebody who was out to get trump. the entire story is he went out there and what he found shocked and horrified him so much that he went back to our country and tried to meet with senators and the fbi. >> and the irony of him going to a republican, because it was an american in america. it used to be republicans worried about russia. i laughed out loud. it was a laugh-cry when i got to that section. he had to get this into the hands of a rep

steele has still not agreed to an interview with the panel. warmer began texting with the lobbyist adam wald-on-in 2017 to get the wikileaks founder julian assange to the u.s. to potentially face criminal charges. that went nowhere. the warner's office tells me turned over whatever information he got to the fbi appear in that matter. warner and waldman also exchanged dozens of texts about possible testimony from waldman's primary client the russian billionaire who had his visa revoked by the state department in 2006 because of charges he has organized crime ties. which he denies. warner was intent on connecting direct whether i christopher steele without anyone else being in the loop at least initially. an aide to the republican chairman senator richard burr now tells fox he was aware much the contact that warner made but added, quote, i don't believe he was aware, burr, of the content of these text messages that fox is getting. quote: we have so much to discuss. you need to be careful, warner texted. but we can help our country. he sent that

if the deep state was trying to use the steele memo, use steele to do in donald trump, then we all shouldo worry because it means they're really pretty dumb. there's an underlying ilogic to all of this as they try to distract us, something you and i talked about earlier this week, joy. it's all a big distraction to keep us from some of the big news like trump's agent saying this week that putin a planning an intervention for mid-term elections. >> and donald trump not implementing the sanctions. david corn, author of the book "russian roulette." and tonight's "last word" is next. 1,200 workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we're bringing you america's number one shave at lower prices every day. putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. as one of those workers, i'm proud to bring you gillette quality for less, because nobody can beat the men and women of gillette. gillette - the best a man can get. with its historical ance records...test ...you could learn you're from ireland... ...donegal, ireland

he says that the spy, christopher steele, the former spy had an agenda against trump. it's not clear what exactly the evidence is for that, but an official told the department of justice that he believed steele, who wrote this memo, had a strong anti-trump bias. the memo also claims that the spy's contact with the fbi was cut off in claims due to ties he had with reporters. for instance, it claims that he leaked some of this information to yahoo news. i should also note that this memo -- i'm sorry to run through this because there is a lot in here -- it also mentions manu raja told devin nunes in a conference call that information from george papadopoulos, another campaign adviser where he told an australian diplomat that the russians had dirt on hillary clinton in a conversation, that that australian diplomat then reported to his u.s. colleagues that that was included in these applications here. it's a lot to digest. i would say the headline there, dana, is this claim that andrew mccabe told the committee that those warrants, four of them, one warrant and three renewa

steele's work. but that these associates were contemporaneously feeding allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility. this is important because we have been led to believe that steele's dossier sources in the infamous mets were russian. it turns out that they may have been clinton black ops specialist laundering information to steele through the obama state department. wild. who might of those associates b be? last month senators grassley and graham sent letters out to the dnc asking them to produce any communications they had with sidney blumenthal and cody shearer between march 2016 and january 2017. this is where the plot thickens. assuming the allegations are true, blumenthal and cody shearer may be responsible for the nasty, salacious claims against trump in that dossier. it would fit their profile. blumenthal is a smear artist, his sidekick cody shearer is a long time a clinton ally known to them as mr. fixer. in the words of the weekly standard, "he is one of the most disrupt

here's the legal reason why, steele is a foreign citizen. he was paid by fusion gps.e haven't seen that he registered as a foreign agent or that he reported to the federal election committee what he was paid. so if we are going to go off of the precedent set by the russian indictment, all of the conditions are there in this case, robert mueller should be investigating steele, clinton, fusion gps, hillary clinton. isn't it about fairness and equal application of the law? if mueller is going after russian trolls, maybe he will bq okay with prosecuting steele and the people paying him to create a phony dossier full of russian lies that they tried to use to lie to the american people. rush limbaugh hit an amazing point on his radio show about why mueller only indicted the russians for certain reasons. he nails it. this is brilliant. take a look. >> the things that the russians were charged with in the mueller indictment or wire fraud, defrauding the united states, mail fraud. these charges that the russians were hit with in this indictment have nothing to do with the avow

in the meantime the united states is virtually stop buying chinese steel while steel from europe now represents fourteen percent of imports so if the u.s. makes more moves to curb imports of foreign steel they will definitely be more damaging to european than chinese steel makers european companies like to sing crop and arcelor mittal are likely to be the first to be affected. here in germany carmakers are grappling with public outrage after it emerged that v.w. dime land b.m.w. sponsored studies conducted by the university of auckland into the health effect of diesel fumes now this is a practice many companies engage in carrying out their own research but revelations that monkeys and humans were the test subjects cause the standalone but there came to light earlier last week. the study aimed to assess the impact of diesel fumes on human health unsurprisingly the three companies that funded it had a vested interest b.m.w. di miller and v.w. . when the tests became public the outcry was grace with members of the german government various media commentators and even fox martin's boss u

i would say to the point about the steele dossier.ere is a message difference between what the democrats are alleging versus what republicans did saying that it was the bulk of it. those are vastly different. also the democrat memo confirms there was corroborating evidence. they also mentioned that there was another article on top of an article that was used to get this warrant. that republicans completely left that out and so there is a lot here. >> jessica, jason, we appreciate you both for joining us. good insight here as we are just beginning to get a look at this latest document. >> we appreciate it. >> have a great day! >> we will be right back. y... ...to help minimize blood sugar spikes... ...you can really feel it. now with 30% less carbs and sugars. glucerna. afi sure had a lot on my mind. my 30-year marriage... ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliqu

well of course there are some other hurdles for steel eventually from the would go u.s. president had a very clear idea about he defines how he defines fair trade it is fair when america benefits from it fair enough why now he's considering a range of options including tariffs and quotas to address steel and aluminum imports he says unfairly hurting us produces. the u.s. president met with lawmakers at the white house to determine whether to slap terror of some foreign steel imports from countries like china. secretary rice submitted the result of the investigations to me last month my administration is down to reviewing the reports and considering all options. part of the options would be terrorists coming in as they don't steal that big tariff substantial tariffs which means the united states would actually make a lot of money and. probably are still industry that are limited to certain would come back into our country right now which decimated. trump insists that the new tabs being introduced on chinese steel are fair and the word reciprocal is a very important word w

it tells us that the steele memo, the memo put together by christopher steele, a former british spy, played a small role, according to the democrats, in getting the authorization to do this surveillance of carter page. but it's important to sort of understand the timeline. in july, late july, we now learn, is when the fbi begins its counterintelligence investigation of people associated with the trump campaign. and it's in september that the steele dossier or pieces of information from christopher steele gets into the hands of the investigators who are doing this investigation of russian meddling and its association with the trump campaign. so the investigation is open in july. it's not until seven weeks later or so in september that they get their hands on the first iteration of what's now known as the steele dossier. and then in october is when they go to the surveillance court to get permission to be able to do this surveillance of carter page. we now know there are three separate renewals of that surveillance. it goes for 90 days. and we also now know that, again, it began in oct

quote, for example, in september 2016 steel admitted his feelings against then candidate trump when steele said he was decem r desperate that donald trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president. that's actually the only phrase in the entire memo that's in bold type. they really want you to know that christopher steele communicated that when he brought his material to the justice department. thanks to the russia probes in congress being turned into an antichristopher steele transcripts, we actually know what the context is for christopher steele's state of mind around that time. we know what was going on at the time that might have led christopher steele to say something like that about how he felt ant donald trump being elected president. we have more information than just what's in the memo. the first transcript was released from his testimony before the senate judiciary committee. on page 219 of that transcript, glen simpson explains his state of mind about donald trump. given all the information that steele had just collected about him that caused had him to ta

but what he lies about is that steele was the source for yahoo! news, which the fisa judge was not madeg aware of. he is thinking these are two independent corroborating sources. no, one source, same person. the republican memos explained how the yahoo news article was used to independently corroborate the dossier as another source, but steele was the only source. another lie to the judge and another key aspect of all of this is the t schiff memo is admitted to be true and that is that the former british spy christopher steele, why was he terminated as an fbi source? all, he was leaking to the medi media. what's schiff and the memo s conveniently leave out is that steele lied to the fbi about talking to the press and bringing thisg information to them, which is why senator grassley and senator graham made a criminal referral against christopher a steele. the schiff memo is full of other massivegh and outright lies, as well. schiff falsely claims that carter page was never spied on while a member of the trump campaign. that's not f true. with a fis

christopher steele admitted his feelings against then candidate trump when steele said he quote: o'er was recently demoted over his contacts with steele and glenn simpson whose opposition research firm fusion gps directed the trump project. o'er's wife nellie worked for fusion gps and began investigating trump as early as may 2016. republican investigators say the court was never told about the dossier's split cal roots, neither the fisa application in 2016 disclosed the role of the dnc, clinton campaign or any party campaign in funding steele's effort. even though they were then known to senior doj and fbi officials. according to the memo, deputy fbi director andrew mccabe testified before the committee in december 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought without the steele dossier information. mccabe was removed earlier this week. brit at this records show fusion gps briefed half a dozen media outlets in the fall of 2016 but the majority did not go with the story. one who did was apparently used to just identify fbi surveillance. the carter page fisa application cite

we did not say that we had verified with christopher steele -- what christopher steele had to say. that's what the fbi was seeking do and that's what we reported. >> so the implication of the nunes memo is that the yahoo! source and dossier source but one in the same and therefore not to be relied on, which begs the question cha whwhat additio did you do to confirm? >> tlrm multip . >> there were multiple sources quoted in the story about carter page and interest in him. that was the thrust of the story. whether or not carter page met with the specific individuals referenced in the steele dossier is still unknown to me and i believe as far as i can tell to the u.s. government. now, carter page has acknowledged in his testimony that he did have meetings in moscow with russian -- a senior russian government official and an aide to igor setchen, the guy cited in the dossier, head of the russian energy firm and a close crony of vladimir putin, on the u.s. sanctions list. he had denied at first that he had had any meetings of such a nature. he acknowledged before the house intelligence

at least in recent months that the steele investigation was at the heart -- the steel dossier was at the heart of the information. and we have other information that we're working in. the problem is that the introduction itself indicates that this investigation is not going well. meaning the memo wars. the partisan memo wars. it's already now become a back and forth. who do you believe, which memo are you on the side of? and once you have hit that point it's very hard to have that investigation feel legitimate to a broad portion of the public. so that's what the investigators are now pushing against. >> right. i should point out that, you know, obviously it's easy to get wrapped up in the political back and forth about the memos but this is ten pages of substance. there's a lot of meat on this bone to do speak. i want you to respond to one piece. this memo suggests that carter page perjured himself during his testimony to the house intelligence committee back in november of 2017. it says in a few spots that the fisa warrants contained information about page that directly contradicts

so you know, christopher steele is not the object of this investigation. vladimir putin and his meddling in our election process is. we have to give that in mind. >> judy miller, think of your analysis. i will ask you to stick around as we will discuss this later in the show as well. in the meantime, adam schiff rebuttal to the republican memo. making the big debut. aimed at countering republican allegations that the fbi abused surveillance powers in the investigation been heard judy miller's take care love more not on this breaking news coming up.keep it right here on fox news channel. i take pictures of sunrises, but with my back pain i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. i'm trying to manage my a1c, and then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. he told me about non-ins

so, the fbi used steele's leak to yahoo to corroborate the dossier created by the same person steele.s is what we call circular reporting because the fbi was pretending that they had two sources when, in fact, it was the same source. and they were presenting that to the judge. now, the memo was also exposing how christopher steele, the former british spy, that according to reports was known to pay russian sources, had previously worked closely with the fbi was suspended and then terminated as an fbi source for leaking to the press about his relationship with the bureau. we also know independently from the memo that in september 2016 steele and fusion gps briefed in person, in person so-called journalists from the "new york times" and "the washington post" and yahoo news and the new yorker and cnn about the hillary clinton phony russian dossier. and glenn simpson testified that both the clinton campaign and the dnc were well aware about this press outreach. they all knew it was a lie. so, in other words, hillary clinton wanted the media to run with this total, false, fabricated dossier

and it is also revealed during september 2016 steele said he was quote, desperate, this is steele that donald trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president. i thought we didn't like outsiders influencing our elections. now according to the memo none of this was disclosed to the fisa court, which is a massive problem. i can't wait to hear from the fisa judge. and this also points out in the memo that during the initial application for the fisa warrant, that the head of the fbi counter intelligence division said it was quote in its infancy, that means the fbi never corroborated any of this. but they still presented it to a fisa court to get a warrant to spy on an opposition candidates when one candidate paid for those lies. and this is the part that is massive. the memo explains how former deputy fbi director andrew mccabe testified before the house intelligence committee that the fisa warrant to spy would not have been approved without the dossier. so when you put all of this information together, here is what it all means. the fbi misled and purposely deceived
