Well have a full report on that and the Trump Administration tonight threatening to cut off funds to the United Nations after the International Body voted to reject President Trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capitol. John bolton is here with more on that tonight our top story and Major Development in the uranium one scandal, Jeff Sessions reportedly ordering the department of justice to look closely into alleged clinton collusion, determine whether a special counsel should be appointed to investigation, how the clintons raked in millions of dollars. Fox news chief National Correspondent ed henry has our report. Not looking good. Not looking good. A year dominated in part by President Trump being in the cross hairs of a special counsel investigation is ending with attorney general Jeff Sessions ordering the Justice DepartmentProsecutors Press fbi agents about why did did not seek charges in the uranium one deal. The end game would be if they found something they certainly would be potentially capable of reopening the investigation and handling as if it were an active ongoing criminal matter. That could mean a Second Special counsel to probe the way investigations of clintons email server, as well as the uranium deal, handled by james comey, Deputy Andrew mccabe, and peter struck who sent the Text Messages supporting Hillary Clinton. I would say its the same ba lo an any theyve been peddlingr years. Bruce orr recently demoted at the Justice Department. He has a meeting during the election with Christopher Steele, the same guy that the democrats from fusion paid to do the discredited trump dossier and bruce orrs wife works for gps. And orr meets with fusion after the election. How do you explain that conduct. Mccabe was pressed on the dossier today in a long session. After facing seven hours of questioning by the House Intelligence Committee on tuesday where he could not recall when he learned that the Clinton Campaign and the dnc paid for the dossier leading senator rand paul to tweet today, time to investigate highranking obama officials. This could be worse than watergate. Democrats insisted this is a diversion from the real issue. Which was the russian attempt to subvert the last election, the possible collusion well the certain collusion by many members of the trump campaign. Other democrats claim this is an attempt to fire mueller over the holidays. A charge the president and the legal team consistently denied. Ed, thanks. Congress tonight averting just moments ago a government shutdown. The house before that passed a stopgap sending bill to fund the government threub january 19th. The senate moments ago followed suit and it looks like the tally right now the 6232. All they needed were 60. Our fox news correspondent is on capitol hill. The American People are counting on congress. Reporter if the senate okays the short term budget just approved by the house by 11 59 tomorrow night, almost every federal program stays funded until january 19th with the exception of a handful of pentagon programs. Thats even though some republicans wish the military got an easier boost. Anytime youre talking about deficits and extending, doing a continuing resolution, its hard. It hurts the defense. I think the area thats bothering u us the most is the military is going to get their 33rd cr in a decade. And the militarys readiness is hurting. Reporter it also puts automatic medicare cuts on the shelf until 2019 and funds the Childrens Health program through march. Both of those provisions enjoy broad bipartisan support but democrats insist they didnt have much of a say in the debate. Forcing the republican to go at it alone. If youve got the votes, you dont have to talk to us. But if you dont have the votes, we really need to come together in a bipartisan way to be the responsible stewards of this government. Reporter a sore spot for one senator in the budget, the reauthorization of an ns actioner spying tool, section 702. The short Term Extension is okay. I will filibuster any long time suggestion. They try to do it for a year were four years or forever, there needs to be more overnight. Reporter not in the short term budget, a daca fix. So despite the demands of democrat lawmakers, theres no new resolution for people brought to this country illegally as children. I dont think in his heart that the president intended to hurt these people in the very cruel way that they have being hurt by the actions that have being taken. Reporter uncharacteristically quiet today, senator Chuck Schumer seems content using daca as leverage on republicans next time theres a shutdown fight in january days before the state of the june on. Were not talking about until we see what the house does. Congressman charlie dent says hes seen thing in his 7 terms that give him confidence that a shutdown can be avoided. There will be drama and chaos, yelling and screaming and then well avert a shutdown. Reporter there may be trouble brewing in the senate tonight for 8 81 billion for victims of the wildfires and hurricanes. They needed a lot of democrat support to pass in the house and conservatives are weary of the package because tu new spending is not offset by cuts elsewhere. Thanks. The u. S. Senate just approved the continuing resolution. It will keep the government open until january 19th. It now goes to the president. The vote so far is 6232 with an historic win on tax cuts under his belt, President Trump took time to celebrate the holidays with some of americas finest today. Theyre still on a victory lap. A signing ceremony could come tomorrow. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts has our report. Reporter greg, good evening. There is every indication that this is shapings up to be a very Merry Christmas for President Trump with the expected signing tomorrow of the biggest achievement of his presidency. The lift from a huge legislative victory under his wings, President Trump left the white house today to wish Merry Christmas to some of the heros that keep this country safe. Im heading over right now to Walter Reid Military Medical Center to say hello to some of the bravest people anywhere in the world. Reporter its a tradition for u. S. President to visit walter reid and thank the men and women for their service. President trump enjoys wide support from the military pledging to rebuild u. S. Forces. But the president s promises ride on republicans and democrats in congress reaching a long term spending agreement next year. Today the white house was urging congress to ge keep the governmt running for the next four weeks with a continuing resolution. We want a clean bill and thats what we hope happens and we hope it happens soon. Because we know everybody is ready to make sheush that the government is fully funded and functional and go home and celebrate christmas. Reporter the president is anxious to get a continuing resolution on his desk because he wants to sign tax reform tomorrow before he leaves for christmas vacation in maralago. But in order to sign the bill tomorrow he needed waivers contained in the cr to prevent cuts from entitlement programs. Its a lot of fun when you win. Theres plenty for the president to celebrate. Boeing, at t, wells forego, comcast all announcing bonuses for employees or wage increases, even more charitable giving. President trump believes this is just the beginning. Were bringing the entrepreneur back into this country. Were getting rid of all of the knots and the ties and were going youre going to see what happens. And ultimately what does it mean . It means jobs. Jobs jobs jobs jobs. Reporter and it was good news for the president on the economic front. The bureau of Economic Analysis revised thirds quarter gdp down a fifth of a point. But com combined with second qur groit, the u. S. Economy had its best backtoback performances in three years. But the president may face new obsession in his quest to replace obamacare. Enrollment in obamacare surpassed expectations. 8. 8 Million People signed up for Health Insurance during open enrollment. Thats 400,000 fewer than last year those surprisingly strong. They tried for month to repeal the Affordable Care act which would have sent the costs soaring, they failed in that effort. But they have consistently undermined aca in every way they can think of disblsh after the vote yesterday, President Trump claimed to have repeal obamacare by eliminating the tax in the individual mandate. That was not fully repeal obamacare, though it may hasten its demise in higher insurance premiums. Greg. John roberts in the house. Thanks very much. Were coming light back with much more. Stay with us the white house is hopeful that special counsel mueller will son wrap up his witch hunt. Were continuing to work closely and cooperate with him. We look forward to see this wrap up very soon. Well take up the shocking corruption and bias of muellers prosecutors and attorney general Jeff Sessions has reportedly revived the investigation into clinton corruption and Hillary Clintons role in the controversial uranium 1 deal.

Gregg welcome back. Capitol hill rumor mill is firing on all cylinders these days. The democrats are aplek tick over the possible that President Trump may fire Robert Mueller over the break. Charles schumer today voicing his concerns over a constitutional crisis. The white house once again attempting to allay those fears. For the one thousand time, we have no intentions of firing bob mueller. Were continuing to work closely and coo cooperating with him. We think that it is just further evidence that the democrats have no plan, they have no agenda, they have nothing to talk to about other than attacking this president. While theyve been focused on russia, this president has been focused on america. Gregg joining me now, christophechrisferrell. I was looking at the latest polling data. Amajority of americans think the Mueller Investigation is tainted tainted. He himself has disqualifying conflicts of interest. Does fueler have himself to blame in the lack of faith and confidence that americans have in the investigation because he selected an entire panel of part partisans . You are exactly correct. And he also is completely unable to articulate the predicate. No one can tell you what crime has been committed. And instead theyre investigating people looking for a crime. Thats not the way we operate in this country. Gregg show me the man ill find you the crime. Is it increase egli clear to you that there may have been those within the fbi and the department of justice who, for political reasons, decided they were going to go about clearing Hillary Clinton and simultaneously as a backup plan, lets frame donald trump with a meritless investigation in order to bring him down. Its not an open question anymore. We have a variety of characters either under oath or in the form of various Electronic Communications saying exactly that. So we have these draft documents where they try to water down the claim out, mishanding information which im familiar with prosecuting from the standpoint of being a special agent. And then youve got these guys talking about insurance policies, meaning theyre going to leverage the phonied up dossier from fusion gps Christopher Steele and turn that into a fisa warrant. Gregg thats a crime, isnt it . It certainly is a crime. Gregg if you use a dubious phony document in an affidavit in support of a warrant, a wiretap, thats a fraud on the court, isnt it . It is. Its also misconduct on the part of the agents. Its prosecutorial abuse on the matter of the attorneys involved. Its a train train wreck of misconduct. This is hanging around muellers neck. They cant get away from it. When it comes to bringing charges against people, the very thin thin of the one thousand claim falls statements on general flynn, conspicuously absent is the charge of conspiracy. You know why . There were no conspirators because there was no crime. And every other case, when you see a 1001 charge for false official statements, you always have the guy roll in who else he was in conspiracy with. Its not there. Gregg but mueller arguably illegally obtaining documents from the Transition Team to use to implicate michael flynn. Flynns lawyers ought to go to court, shouldnt they, and withdraw the plea and challenge the evidence under the exclusionary rule. You cant use evidence that was illegally obtained. It is. Its all fruit of the poisonous tree kind of stuff. This is investigation 101 and law school 101. Both sides of the equation, the investigators, the special agents involved from the various agencies and the attorneys involved, they all know better. And this is a very dishonest game theyre playing because theyve got to come back with a scalp. Gregg it looks like Jeff Sessions is ordering the doj to start investigate whether Hillary Clinton engaged in pay to play. Simultaneously should they reopen the email case because there appears to be an abundance of evidence, and the statute of limitations hasnt run that she mishandled documents, 110 classified documents on her unauthorized, unsecured private email server. The answer is yes, of course they have to investigate both issues. Thankfully the American Public knows about the email server because of the work of judicial watch. Gregg right. What i want to know is i would love to see the interview of mueller, comey, wiseman, rosenstein, how are they going to address that with respect to both uranium one and the email investigation. Gregg do you suspect that comey, mccabe, peter struck, involved, as well as james baker, all of these guys together within the fbi, that they deliberately changed the wording of the exoon ration statement that was initially drafted by james comey to absolve Hillary Clinton to pave the way for her to become president. From the 2nd of july, stween, that saturday, my first question was hey, that interview of Hillary Clinton, was it a rights warning event . Thats all you have to know. And the answer back was no, it was not. An then you knew for a fact that it was a coffee and donut session arrangedded b by david kindle. They didnt read her rights. Mirandize her. She said i dont recall 39 times during that coffee and donut session. She remembered her name and date and birth and that was about it. In any legitimate information, you pause, pull out a nondisclosure agreement, you ask her to refresh her recollection and review the document that she signed and then have her affirm or certify thats her signature on her document and then let her explain how she doesnt remember it. Gregg right. That wasnt done. Gregg here is a document. She signed it. Its sworn. It says i understand the tutorial i received on classified documented. I cant put them in an unauthorized place, which is precisely what she did. But she apparently said, you know, i dont remember getting that tutorial. I dont remember remember signing this document. She actually signed two documents, chris. Thats true. Part of the documents say it doesnt matter if you dont remember. This still applies to you no matter what. You cant wiggle away from it. But the problem is that the agents doing the interview did not do that. Gregg because they were yucking it up, having a good time. And because peter struck was doing the interview, the top fbi official. And now we know that his texts, littered with i love Hillary Clinton texts to his lover, who was an fbi lawyer. I mean its really astonishing stuff. Its disgusting. Gregg if you look up corruption in the dictionary, there should be a pick u picture of those fos involved. Be sure to vote in tonights poll.

Ambassador nikki haley put more than 100 member nations on notice, following a landslide vote condemning americas decision to move its Israeli Embassy to jerusalem. Rick leventhal is at the u. N. Tonight with the latest. When we make generous contribution to the ussments n. , we also have a legitimate expectation that our goodwill is recognized and respected. U. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Making it clear to the Member States of the world body that america has its right to move its embassy, warning that siding against the decision by pruch could have deep financial consequences. America will put or embassy in jerusalem. That is what the American People want us to do. And it is the right thing to do. No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that. The u. N. Called this merge session to debate a resolution rejecting the u. S. Decision recognizing jerusalem as israels dap tall. The resolution drow the support of every single arab country around the globe. We believe the decision by the American Government is addressable and is not constructive in a sustainable solution. We will not be intimidated. You can be strong but it doesnt make you right. Translator the state of palestine respects the sovereignty of states so long as this sovereignty is in line with international law. However, we refuse to have sovereignty used as an excuse to violate international law. The vote was overwhelming, 128 in favor, just 9 opposed and 35 abstaining, a stark reminder that israel has a short list of friends. Those who support todays rez luges are like puppets. You are puppets pulled by the string of the puppet masters. You are lik forced to dance. Israels Prime Minister called todays resolution preposterous and says that jerusalem is israels capital. And the white house says the embassy will still move, the only question is when and how the president will punish the nations that didnt support him here today. Gregg rick, thanks very much. Were going to talk about the u. N. Vote with ambassador john bolton a bit later in the forecast. Were coming back with much more. Stay with us. Republicans gaining momentum from their victory on taxes. The heart of the bill is a tremendous amount of relief for the middle class. And theyre going to start seeing the results in february. Well discuss what congress will tackle next with congressman keith rompus. It takes guts to stand on the roof of this building. But you wont believe what this dare gregg there will be no christmas shutdown for the federal government. The house and the senate a short time ago approved a bill late this afternoon to fund the government through january 19th. With a few sweeteners for the military and child health care. President trump expected to sign the bill sometime tomorrow. Joining me now to talk about that and the tax cuts, republican congressman keith rothfus. Congressman, good to see you. Good to see you. Gregg there have been more than 30 continuing resolutions over the last decade. I think its five per year, to keep the government running. This one only lasted for what, 30 days. Its kind of like popping a rolaid. Doesnt something need to be done longer than 30 days . Absolutely. This has been a frustrating process. I looked at this issue since before i ran for congress. The last time everything was done on time was 1996 where all appropriation bills were passed by september 30th. The year the house did the work by september 30th. Unfortunately the senate did not. It stuck in the senate. This has been a serious issue for our Defense Budget making sure that our defense planners have the resources. We have people out in the field. I made a trip to the middle east right before thanksgiving. This is a serious situation thats frustrating to see the Democrats Holding the Defense Budget hostage, demanding more spending dollar for dollar or whatever their formula is. Theres no correlation at all between maintaining a robust defense and what were spending on the domestic side. That link has to be broken. Gregg you have to plan in advance. Our military and defense, defense of americans out there suffers. I do want to ask you about the tax cuts. Democrats continued to decry this but republicans say 80 of americans will see tax relief. And of course weve seen a bunch of Major Companies start cutting checks, 1,000 checks to send out to their workers as bonuses. Doesnt that undermine the democrats plan . Thats the sound of an economy revving up. Weve been stuck going sideways for ten or 15 years. Think of the kids who graduated in 2000 and have not seen a robust economy. There is direct and immediate help coming for the middle class. A single mom making 41 a year is going to see more than 1,300 back a year. The family of four making 73,000dollar is going to see more coming back. And then you have the Economic Growth thats going to kick in and were seeing that, companies willing to make substantial investments in their infrastructure, from comcast and at t, 1,000 going to employees. This is great news and the beginning of making this country prosperous again. Gregg i think it was john kennedy who said a rising tide lifts all boats. And thats the whole point of this. That if you grow gdp, it expeninsula the company, investing in companies, expanding the companies, hire more employees and the economy becomes far more robust and in the long run the treasury benefits with increased revenue. Its true. It happened in the 1960s, happened in the 1980 and 1990s under president clinton and a republican congress. Remember when president clinton promised a tax cut, got to congress and said he couldnt do it. In 1994 they did the middle class cut and the revenue to the treasury went significantly up and into surplus. But the rising tide does lift all boats and thats what this tax bill is all about. Congressman, thank you so much for being with us tonight. Appreciate it. Thank you and Merry Christmas. Gregg you do too. Do you believe its time to stop handing taxpayer dollars to the leftist United Nations that always tends to undermine and disrespect america . Cast your vote at twitter at low dobbs please roll the videotape. These daredevils are sure to get your heart pumping. Theyre standing close to the edge of a 70story building in dubai. Sprint and leap across the roofs gaps. Okay. Thats dumb. Thats risky. Yeah. All right coming up next, House Republicans launching a probe into reports that the Obama Administration derailed an investigation into Drug Trafficking by hezbollah as president obama sought to secure the iran nuclear deal. Well discuss it with am bas amr john for every hour that youre idling in your car, youre sending about half a gallon of gasoline up in the air. That amounts, over the course of the week, to about 10 pounds of carbon dioxide. Growth is good, but when it starts impacting our quality of air and quality of life, thats a problem. So forwardthinking cities like sacramento are investing in streets that are smarter and greener. The solution was right under our feet. Asphalt. Or to be more precise, intelligent asphalt. By embedding sensors into the pavement, as well as installing cameras on traffic lights, we will be able to analyze the flow of traffic. That data runs across our network and we use it to optimize the timing of lights, so that traffic flows easier and travel times are shorter. Who knew asphalt could help save the environment .

Gregg Vice President mike pence today making an unannounceds trip to afghanistan ahead of the christmas holiday. Also met with the president at the president ial palace in in kabul. Joining me you. Former u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations, john bolton a senior fellow at the American Enterprise institute. Always a pleasure to see you. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas to you. Every american president i can think of promised to recognize jerusalem as the capital and move or embassy there. None of them kept their promises. This president did. This is an act of theater. The vote in the Security Council earlier this week was the first. She and north korea have 100icbms with thur mo Nuclear Weapons that can hit the United States . Neither aption is attractive. Defending the American People is the first responsibility of the u. S. President. Gregg the problem is all of the artillery aimed at seoul which is minutes away. Thats a problem. You cant knock all of that out before they start firing and murdering people. Dont under estimate our naval capabilities. We should do everything we can to protect the South Koreans and i think thats what the pen gone ipentagonis looking at right no. Gregg thanks for being with us. Merry christmas. Coming up next, Hillary Clinton now planning to hit the campaign trail in 2018. Well take her refusal will she take her refusal to exit the public stage gracefully . Well talk about it. Kind of like a bad cold, it wont go away. Gregg in our northern line poll last night we asked if you believe the desperate dems so hate President Trump they would shutdown the government. 98 of you said yes. The c. R. Passed this evening a short time ago. Joining knee, the editorinchief of the daily caller Christopher Bedford and mark simone. Can the gop Carry Forward its success in the tax cuts legislation to achieve part or all of President Trumps after he general today in 2018 . They have the wind at their backs. They are feeling pretty good after months of unending negative coverage. Tree peeling the individual mandate, getting the tax reform through. The problems they will come up with next, these are all republican things. One of the things trump wants next, a change to our immigration laws, an infrastructure bill. He will get pushback from some of the traditional parts of the gop. And we know the democrats are not going to look to get on board with any one of these measures in the new year. Gregg i mentioned Hillary Clinton is like a bad cold you cant get rid of. My continuing counties up to 63 excuses. But i only read the book for giggles. So at any rate, she is threatening to campaign for the 2018 democratic candidates. Given her abysmal poll ratings, is she going to hurt democrats more than help them . The whole idea of her hurts democrats. The most of insincere, phoney, fake bureaucrat coming back out campaigning. By the time the summer comes around well in the middle of a uranium one investigation. Gregg are democrats grumbling and openly saying go away . Enough already . I think they are afraid. They will go after trump but they are afraid to tie her up and thrower in the trunk of a car and get rid of her. Shell kill them again in 2018. Gregg not once, but twice she has lost the presidency. Right now she is at her least popular. But a day before the election she was about to be president of the the u. S. According to the polls. She maybe won some senate seats but she never won a competitive race. And she hurt the Democratic Party when they felt they were certain to win. The New York Times was calling around trying to find anyone who would back up her husband bill clinton on sexual abuse allegations and they couldnt find one. The clintons cash is spent. And they wont be very helpful except for the diehard already on the democratic band wagon. She lost to a rookie the first time around. A total amateur. Gregg and he didnt have much of an organization it was all done on instinct and spirit. Mark she spent a billion dollars at least. Gregg her name is synonymous with scandal. Mark she had the greatest political consultant in the world living in her own house. She should have been begging him, coach me, teach me. Gregg he was telling her to campaign in the midwestern northern states. Chris after barack obama was elected president he had date ra gurus data gurus in the silicon valley. And they forgot the human touch. Hillary clinton lacks that. Democrats should beware of her reappearing. Gregg no one sees her trying to be funny in public. Chris bedford, mark simone, good to see you. That will do it for us. Thanks for joining us. Steve forbes and ed rollins are another win for the president. The government avoiding a shutdown. Whats next on the trump agenda . Watch the go. Stocks got a lift from the tax victory. Good news, u. S. Stock market futures poised to move higher at the open, about tenth of a percent.
