Great to have you with us, let's get straight to our top story for you
Though the memo war taking center stage in
Washington President Trump set to approve the release of the Democrats version today that is allegedly full of sensitive material
And Grif Jenkins live for us in DC with some brand-new bombshell revelations
Is that right Grif?
Good morning
And the president may decide as early as today whether to release and block some or all of that Democrats counter memo after meeting with
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein chief of staff John Kelly says the president has a better understanding of the differences between the two memos
Understand the differences between the first memos second memo
he just like in the
First memo where he received it late last night, so let's say today
the
DOJ FBI team
But some Republican lawmakers like veteran investigator trey Gowdy warned it could be loaded with sensitive information setting a trap
The Democrats are
politically smart enough to
Put things in the memo that require either the bureau or the Department of Justice to say it needs to be redacted therefore
It creates this belief that there's something being hidden from the American people
This is senators Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham released a less redacted version of their criminal referral of British spy Christopher Steele to the DOJ
Giving us more information about the FBI's reliance on Steele's first dossier to get a FISA warrant in the letter they write on March
17
2017 the Chairman and ranking member were provided copies of the two relevant FISA applications
Which requested authority to conduct surveillance of Carter page both relied heavily on mr.
Steele's dossier claims and both applications were granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court it also contends that mr.
Steele lied quote it appears that either mr.
Steele lied to the FBI or the British Court or that the classified documents were reviewed by the committee contain materially false
Statements all of this Heather the letter and the fact that the president was meeting with rod residence on yesterday gave
Deveney Nez
Some reason to feel vindicated and it puts a light on the motivations of Democrats like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi who have said that
The president was going to fire Rosenstein to create a bit of chaos that we'll see it's going to play out
The president has until Friday to release that memo and the Grassley gram memo. That was from
2017
So that was last month's letter of referral
But it but in it addresses
What happened back in March when the Judiciary Committee was meeting with the relevant players to?
Essentially arrive at the referral that they they sent forth to DOJ on mr.. Steele Wow okay?
Thank you so much Griff appreciate it lots more to come on this no doubt well so far
We have seen the memos and letters, but once the partisan firestorm simmers down
What comes next according to Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett? He's been all over this story
Those who swore to uphold the law he says could soon find themselves on the other side of the law
You need a calculator to add up all the various crimes that were committed by the Department of Justice and the FBI
They concealed vital facts to the court
They deceived the judge in getting the warrant approval
They knew that the dossier was phony. It was politically motivated
They knew that Steele was biased and untrustworthy and had lied
So when they signed under penalty of perjury in front of the judge that these are true and honest and credible
Documents they were therefore lying committing perjury and for every lie in this eight pages that you've identified
It's a separate crime people out there at the Department of Justice and FBI even those who've left better have good criminal lawyers
representing them
So in the midst of all of this the DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz is getting ready to conclude
His probe into the FBI's handling of Hillary Clinton's private email server his full report
Which could spell out more trouble for the bureau is expected this spring
And president Trump threatening another government shutdown as Democrats continue their gridlock over
Immigration Kelly Wright is live for us in Washington DC. Where the house just passed a short-term spending bill
Leaving it up to the Democrats. Good morning. Kelly Heather
Good morning to you as well the drama over daca continues to well be more
Suspenseful as Democrats and Republicans and the president try to come to an agreement in
resolving that problem now President Trump is demanding Democrats to agree to
Cracking down on illegal immigration if they fail to do that mr.. Trump says he will support another
government shutdown
If we don't change it, let's have a shutdown will do a shutdown and it's worth it for our country
I'd love to see a shutdown
if we don't get this stuff taken care of if we have to shut it down because the Democrats don't want safety and
Unrelated but still related they don't want to take care of our military
Then shut it down
But a shutdown may have been averted due to lawmakers in the House
Passing a stopgap measure to keep the government funded until March 23rd it now goes to the Senate where Democrats
And Republicans are talking about making a longer two-year budget deal
I'm optimistic
That very soon, we'll be able to reach an agreement
I've discussed some of the outlines with my caucus that I think we are very happy with and hopefully the Republicans are and and
Then we can get something really good done
so if that
Something really good gets done a two-year budget deal gives president Trump time to find agreement with Democrats on immigration
Democrats want to provide a pathway to citizenship, but President Trump insists on having a border wall ending chain
Migration and the Visa Lottery and there are one point eight million dreamers in the United States
President Trump says he wants to help them but only if Democrats agree to making the border more secure and
Improving everything everything down there
Kelly Wright live for us we're going to talk much more about this coming up as well
Thank you or another promise from President, Trump taking a big step forward I
Call it extreme
vetting our country has enough problems
We don't need more
for the president signing in order to establish the national vetting Center as a
one-stop-shop for
Screening new immigrants coming to the US and the goal is to help agents identify potential terrorists the Department of Homeland Security
Has six months to submit a final plan for the president's approval and a wannabe terrorist
College student who planned on killing Americans is waking up behind bars instead month or salih
Sentenced to 18 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring with the terror group
Authorities say that Salah was making bombs to attack tourist hotspots in New York City including
the Statue of Liberty
And Vice President Mike Pence meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a overnight the two holding a bilateral meeting to discuss
the alliance against North Korea offense vowing that the US will roll out the toughest and most
aggressive sanctions on the rogue regime yet
You continue to stand shoulder to shoulder
With the people of Japan the people of South Korea and our allies and partners across the region until we achieve
the global objective of the denuclearization of the Korean
Peninsula well the vice president will wrap up his trip speaking to American troops stationed at Yokota Air Base
Then tonight he heads to South Korea for the Winter Olympics a kim jong un's sister is
expected to attend along with North Korean diplomats and
A fox business alert big news yesterday, but the Dow is on the rebound
The index closing up about 560 points after a rollercoaster two days the Dow was seeing historic
Losses starting on Friday that carried into this week experts chalk that up to fears of a federal interest rate hike
Fears of that happening hasn't happened yet, Oh president Trump's envision of going above and beyond to honor our military
may soon reach an
unprecedented level a US defense officials say that they're in the
preliminary stages of planning a military parade for later this year preferably on Veterans Day
To pay tribute to our heroes they say a possible parade route is Pennsylvania Avenue in DC
That's the same route as president Trump's inaugural parade the inspiration for the idea you may remember this it stems from
President Trump's invitation to last summer's was still parade in France
He said then that he wanted to do something like this, so looks like it's happening. It's a good thing
Well the time now is about ten minutes after the top of the hour and the president expected to release the Democrats surveillance memo
But the left already setting up a fallback plan
We want to make sure that the White House does not redact our memo for political purposes and obviously that's a deep concern
Why our next guest says that this is all a trap for the president?
Welcome back Democrats are deflecting the fisa focus back onto the White House as
President Trump is expected to approve the release of their memo
We also want to make sure that any redactions that are made
Are fully explained to our committee by the FBI or Department of Justice?
And likewise by the White House we want to make sure that the White House
Does not redact our memo for political purposes and obviously, that's a deep concern
But sources are also telling Fox News that the left rebuttal is loaded with sensitive details
So once this all a trap here now to weigh in as Republican strategist John Jordan
Thank you very much for joining us this morning. I appreciate it
Happy to be here, so I just want to begin with that question
I know there's some other things you want to get into here, but do you believe that?
This is a setup by Democrats because they know that the president will have to say this can't be released
Well, that's precisely what it is
I mean keep in mind that the Democrats voted in lockstep in committee to prevent not only the member of the Republican memo from being
Released to the public they they voted to prevent it from being released to the House of Representatives
So now that there's political fallout from that they had to come up with a strategy to blunt the political impact and do some damage
control
And that's really why they have loaded it with stock loaded it with with national security
Sources and methods info so the White House would be obligated
To redact it, and then they're gonna turn around and point and say well. They're doing it for political purposes
Knowing that the White House can't adequately defend itself without again revealing those sources and methods, so it's a circular trap
They're setting well one of the other issues that you have with all of this is something called the woods
Procedure and if people at home don't know what that is it was named after an FBI agent
And we can show people at home. It was actually implemented for incorrect information
that was repeated in subsequent and related FISA packages by signing and swearing to the
declaration the headquarters agent is attesting to knowledge of what is contained in the
Declaration so that's the would procedure and you think that this would be a violation of that
Well the woods' procedures go back to April of 2001 and what it illustrates
Is that the number of fingers and hands that were on the steel dossier before it was signed off on under oath?
before a FISA judge now FISA courts
You know they have an approval rate of ninety nine percent for government
applications and more than that they're done in secret so an extra stringent set of
Safeguards was set up and that requires that not only the special agent doing the fieldwork sign off on it his supervisor
This the special agent in charge of that field office
Then it gets kicked up to FBI headquarters where a unit leader has to sign off on it
And then it goes to the DOJ for the lawyers or the National Security Division all of whom have to approve it and then it
Is signed under oath before a judge now? It looks like there is criminal wrongdoing if in fact
It was unverified which it certainly appears that it was but it kind of illustrates. How widespread
The swamp may be in the FBI and may illustrate quite clearly why attorney general sessions is having such a terrible time
Reining in the FBI and my director ray it really has his hands full because it looks like the problem is
Metastasized and this is a real concern for all Americans if this is correct, and the thing is you know it's not just
Christopher Steele where there are questions surrounding him already?
it's also the sources that Christopher still used and anyway of
Possibly you know making sure that those those sources that he used were legit
Well those sources certainly came from Russia with love
via fusion GPS to Bruce or
Wars wife who was getting paid by fusion
GPS and then to the right into the Department of Justice through Bruce or who hasn't been fired he's just been reassigned
Hmm all right. Thank you so much for joining us John
We'll see what happens with all this what the president has until Friday to block the release of it
I know that he met with rod Rosenstein perhaps rod
Rosen's sight could come forward and say this can't be released
It would be interesting to see what Democrats would say if that happened and since they seem to support him
Yeah, that would be very interesting indeed hmm. All right. Thank you for joining us this morning appreciate it
Well the time now is almost 20 minutes half to the top of the hour and bathrooms based on gender identity
the brand new policy from a major pharmacy chain
I
Call upon all of us to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people we were elected to serve
and president Trump calling out Democrats for sitting during his State of the Union address Carly Shimkus is here with a brand new ad
Turning the tables on the left
Putting politics above the American people do you remember when?
Democrats refused to stand during President Trump State of the Union
well the president is now firing back in a new campaign ad I
Call upon all of us to set aside
our differences to seek out common ground and to
Summon the unity we need to deliver for the people we were elected to serve
Carly Shimkus with fox news headlines 24/7 Sirius XM
115 is here with reaction good morning. Good morning Heather
That's right president Trump's re-election campaign released a new ad that shows some of the prominent Democrats who refused to stand
During his State of the Union address during moments that should have received bipartisan support
Take a look
We have created 2.4 million new jobs
Unemployment claims have hit a 45 year
African-american unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded this in fact is our new
So is this ad
Effective well some on social media say the president has a point including smile ooh-hoo who says gotta admit
They could have at least clapped or partially smiled for things they agree with but the DNC would be really angry no doubt hashtag party
over people
Still there has been hostility on both sides of the aisle most recently President Trump was criticized for
suggesting Democrats committed treason for refusing to stand during his State of the Union address
But what's interesting is we've had Democrats alleging that the president has committed treason
Pretty much multiple times so far during his administration. Well. I can't we had a friend
Something else is happening involved a school musical
That's right a school in high school in New York
Cancelled their production of The Hunchback of Notre Dom because a white student received the the role of
Esmeralda the lead role of Esmeralda so angry students at Ithaca High School
Sent the school letter saying the young woman who was cast in this role has hazel eyes blonde hair
And is the epitome of whiteness at best this is cultural appropriation at worst it is
Whitewashing now these students do say that she's a good actor a good dancer in any production
We'll be lucky to have her, but they say that she is not right for the role so the school canceled the production
Social media now sounding off Braden says this is getting ridiculous
That's creating a culture of victimhood is
Terrible for the country Dale brings up a point saying whatever happened to the best person getting the role because of their performance
Interesting we've heard these issues happening in Hollywood as well. We've seen big parts now
I mean
I'm one of these people that did this yesterday. I retweeted the launch of Elon Musk massive space x-box, Dhoni
It was amazing so Elon Musk company SpaceX. They launched what it's being called the world's most powerful rocket
Into space yesterday if you missed it. Here's part of it
Social media went absolutely wild over this president
