i think senator tillis has another question.as a member of the senate intelligence committee i'm aware that foreign countries are continually trying to penetrate our national security measures in order to gain espionage on the united states and some of that could well include foreign students and other foreign nationals who come to the united states who are already recruited by the spy agencies from our adversaries, or once they're here, then recruited once they're here in the united states, and stay and spy on our country. is this a potential vulnerability? >> yes, sir, that is one of the reasons we started our domestic man tis program. one of the vulnerabilities identify inned in the gao report many years ago suggested students could come here to study non-sensitive field of study. subsequently change their major to something more sensitive. there was a loophole in the system to do that we created domestic mantis, thus far we identified several hundred people, i don't have the stats, used that process. as a result of whittling

thanks to all of you. >> senator tillis? >> thank you, mr. chair. gentlemen, thank you for being here. senator durbin touched on some points that i have, happen to agree with in terms of other aspects of immigration that i won't bring up here. we've got a little bit of a hairball here in terms of our visibility. we've got serious issues with h 1 b, h 2 b that could go down the list. about how it come in and fill jobs and they're shutting down industries. that's not the subject. it does speak to the broader issue of coming up with a modernized predictable overall visa system. now i think mr. dougherty, this may be a question for you. has methodology changed for articulating visa overstays between fy 15 and fy 16? >> i think it got a little more sophisticated in the sense that we were able to draw in additional data sets. >> more accurate or just more sophisticated? >> i think when we're able to get more, we're trying to look at the entire population that's coming at us, whatever their visa status, which is why at the end of the day, if we got our bio

a lot of lightning headed down and shan tilly. this is part of a lighter system mid-atlantic. temperatures, though, way down we've got the rain down close to the temperature of 84 degrees. not going to see much. as a matter of fact, we're predicting the warmest temperatures. we talked about all afternoon. >> well, so far it's the seventh warmest on record. >> and feeling around 110 degrees. and possibility for your thursday. so what do you have to do, and also make sure to check on -- it's the hottest the weather so far this year and it doesn't end on sunday. >> you know, we're forecasted to 96 degrees. that heat index over 100 and take a look as we move on, showed you this woman, that's what you need to do. i've got two days and one at 100, i will not be surprised any of the next five days to see 100 degrees. and sunday, as well. stay on the warm side on monday before we finally get some relief. that's up next. you each drive a ford pickup ryes.? i'm going to show you a next generation pickup. awesome. let's do this. the bed is made of high-strength steel, which is less susce

senator tillis. >> i'm going to try to be quick. first off i just want d to reif force what senator cornin said. you just heard the comments, it's an absurd situation. and here's the sad part of what we're talking about there, if they're guilty of murder or rape, hopefully they'll be incarcerated. they're likely to get back into the community and the communities they're likely to be against are the communities in their own cities. they're victimizing their own population. this is a crisis in these communities of large majority of illegally present persons. it's also a very interesting number of statistics i try to glue together. senator franken, i think he said some 48% of the illegally present population was unlikely to report a crime if they themselves were illegally present. there are 200,000 i believe someone else say unaccompanied children who have been placed with sponsors. and if the staff briefing memo is correct, some 80% of are with people who are illegally present themselves. so if you do the math, 200,000, 160,000, 48,00

impact times for you, moving around intended gainesville area right around 7:30 and moving on into shan tilly right around 7:50. you can find all of this information on my facebook and twitter page. it's going to be this system to reinvigorate parts of it yet to develop. that will bring us rain at times throughout the day tomorrow, throughout the day on saturday and hopefully not on sunday, u fortunately that is possibility now, as well. here are the headlines with the storm system. the most rain is friday evening on into saturday morning. when a lot of us are sleeping or getting up on saturday is when some of us will be noticing the torrential downpours impaktsict the area. we're talking 1 to 3 inches. it can be some higher amounts, with that much rain, flash flooding is going to happen in our area, especially on the roads that, you know, always collect water, always flood. so what can you do right now, check it and make sure it's working, making sure the storm drains are clear of debris and if you do come to the pond flooded roadway, we save you so much, turn around, don't drain. you don't

third place, tillie. she has peed in the senator's office. the senator claims he still adores her.ner-up is sherlock who is more than thrilled to take pictures in the senate finance committee room for his owner is the chief oversight council. this year's winner, he's a 2-year-old american eskimo, belongs to the communications director for house commerce. thanks for the fact and thanks for inviting us into your home. wednesday we will have the latest from the white house, capitol hill, and the amendment process. always a lot to talk about. that's it for this "special report" ." ♪ >> hello, i am kimberly guilfoyle with juan williams, jesse watters, dana perino, and ed henry. it's 9:00 in new york city and this is "the five." >> this is a fox news alert. president trump pumped up supporters at his make america great again rally in ohio. on the heels of a crucial victory on capitol hill. the senate voted to debate to repeal and replace obamacare. it was close. 51-50 with vice president pence casting the tiebreaker.

in addition, the whole notion of not having mcmaster or mattis or tillis present at these meetings ishocking. it goes back to this fact that trump doesn't appear to trust his own government, his own officials. this attempt to set up a private communications channel through the russian embassy simply is mind boggling. >> in your head or on your person, i want to hear you out on security clearances, people like jared kushner, people like ivanka, people we know to be under investigation and people whose stories about the past have migrated. is there a danger to you? >> i think this is way beyond security clearance. having said that, if an assistant secretary of defense was in contact and on the face of it colluding with a hostile power of the united states, they would be out in the street that day so it's not security clearance so much. it's an indication that we're having difficulty trusting white house officials. >> we appreciate being able to call on you. thank you. >>> our last break coming up. it was just one meeting. there were many others. it was just one e-mail chain, for that ma

stoep allow debate on the bill could come as soon as tuesday, and even undecided senators like tom tillish carolina are asking their colleagues to allow that vote to go through. >> i'm willing to take that position that we should debate it, get on the bill, consider amendments. >> reporter: but right now senate lead verse a lot of work to do to get the 50 votes they need. and if this bill does make it to a vote, and that is a big if, expect a flurry of amendments to the bill, including one that will be proposed by senators lindsey graham and bill cassidy, which they're touting as an alternative plan that would give more control over health care decisions to the states. jim. >> a lot of ifs, not a lot of whens. around ryan nobles, thank you very much. let's get our insights from specialists here. mark protest ton, it seems to me you may find mitch mcconnell folks saying we've got enough votes here, and then the cbo score is going to come out. and it may not show 23 million or 24 million like it did over in the house, maybe it's going to show somewhere in the low 20s, high teens -- >> right

tillis. >> aye. >> mr. toomey. >> aye. >> mr. udal. >> no. >> mr. van hollen. >> no. >> mr.arner. >> no. >> ms. warren. >> no. >> mr. whitehouse. >> no. >> mr. wicker. >> aye. >> mr. wyden. >> no. >> mr. young. >> aye. >> we've just learned that senator john mccain from arizona has voted no on this effort to get this skinny repeal of obamacare. we had also heard vice president mike pence is there at the capitol ready to cast the tie-breaking vote if need be. it's going to come down to the wire for senate republicans if they can get this bill passed here in the senate chambers. >> this could be a last ditch effort for republicans in the senate to repeal obamacare. >> senators voting in the affirmative. alexander, veraso. >> we've heard if they are having trouble, they could hold the vote open for a while, possibly to try to twist arms. it could go until dawn. it's really good theater. the votes are coming now in rapid succession. the senate healthcare freedom act is essentially the senate republicans' last dutch attempt to repeal obamacare and senate republicans here have fra

john mccain, richard shelby, lisa murkowski, senator tillis, orrin hatch, among the republican senatorsushed back and said no, no, no, this is a mistake, don't do it. but listen to orrin hatch. he personalized it in a way that you might not expect. >> but i've said, look, people who are transgender, they don't choose to be transgender. they're born that way. and why should we hold that against them? >> sea change from what's been happening in the republican party. if you go back eight, nine years ago and listen to what republicans were saying, conservatives about this, it was a wedge issue. god bless america, we have changed sides. >> i think it's a huge wedge issue. i think donald trump is a traditionalist in a strange body, the body of a manhattan millionaire. and i think -- i do think that middle america -- donald trump, isaiah berlin, hedge hog and the fox. donald trump is the fox. he understood one big thing and it's the cultural estrangement of middle america from the eastern elites. the eastern elites are the republican senators whose views have changed on these things too. it's

lindsey graham, tom tillis. former allies or sessions to call him a man of integrity. there seems to be some movement to shore up jeff sessions, but, kate, this is so much larger than just one cabinet member. this, to me, is very different. this is part of a larger pattern into donald trump's thinking about the people who hold the positions at the highest levels of law enforcement agencies in this country, whether it is the acting fbi director, the attorney general, the special council, robert mueller, rob rosenstein. donald trump sees their mission as one that should be about loyalty to him, protecting him and his family's legal points of view and political needs. that is how he seems to think of it more than being committed to the constitution and rule of law. that is what is so alarming about what donald trump is saying about jeff sessions. >> by definition, their jobs are the latter of what you played out. everyone knows that and the president should as well. matt, you are reporting that the president is now talking with his team about the possibility of replacing

what i find interesting is you have senators like thom tillis of north carolina or mitch mcconnell, the majority leader in the united states senate not only saying what a lot of senators are saying that jeff sessions is a man of integrity that he's a good guy and look forward to still working with him as ag but they go as far as to say that he was right to recuse himself which is what rudy guiliani also told cnn yesterday. so donald trump is on a bit of an island at this point in terms of thinking that jeff sessions was wrong-headed in recusing himself. that is -- that gets to the fundamental concern about what the president was tweeting about this morning, don, because he clearly, if you read his tweets as you just did, he clearly doesn't see the attorney general as a position that should have independence from him and fewer fealty to the rule of law. he sees it as somebody who serves at the pleasure of the president who should be doing the bidding of political protection and legal protection of the president of the united states. >> interesting. in private business, yes, but not as pr

off at school a chance to stop by on the side of the road and call their republican senator, tom tillis, and tell him to vote "no." 4,000 miles away in wasilla, alaska, today, lisa murkowski showed up at her office and they thanked her for opposing the republican efforts so far. they wanted to make sure that senator murkowski didn't change her mind. in tucson, arizona, it was pushing 100 degrees today and still arizonans stood on the frying pan, i mean the sidewalk, to vote "no" on what the republicans are trying to do. this was in florida. this is out the office of shelly moore capito. per constituents telling her to vote "no." this was alabama today. residents telling their senators that they also should vote "no." it's been like this all over the country since the republicans started to move to try to kill the affordable care act. so far the republicans have not been able to pull it off when they've tried to bring it up for a vote. today in congress, they scraped together exactly enough votes to bring the issue up for debate at least provided that mike pence was able to come over and
