If that is done, a white house official said that President Trump will release the memo. Fox news chief Intelligence Report cat ridge harris Catherine Harris with our report. Highly placed intelligence asset attended a particular event, in a particular location at a particular time, which it does, i can figure out who that is, if i can, our adversaries can. Reporter they said democrats can expedite the review by making a request for a dedac no Committee Vote would be required and momento could go to president for declassification, source say that revisions beyond recommended redacteds would quire another Committee Vote, slowing down more process. Well sit down with fbi, go through any concerns they have. Reporter over weekend President Trump accused democrat of laying a trap, sources and methods to be removed then allowing democrats to accuse the white house was not being transperson, accusations backed up by president s aides. Very clear whoa playing politics with peoples lives. They describe as misleading, department of justice said it would be reckless to release this. President same im going release it. Reporter House Intelligence Committee called memo political it characterize Trump Administration adviser as a double agent.

Charles a spokesperson said, it no way critical, and congress map schiff should back up his for evidence. Trish. All right. Thank you catherine herridge. Joining me with reaction, greg jarrett. It gets more interesting and your reacted . Well, not only did fbi and capacitdepartment of justice usa phony document to by on President Trump associates, they also used it to launch a fraudulent investigation for donald trump for crimes he did not committment collusion is not even a crime. I think there are a lot of people who were in category jeopardy, that includes people at fbi who cleared Hillary Clinton. Then set about trying to frame donald trump. You mentioned collusion not a crime. Is that just wong word to use . I guess that would implay you are working along side russiaons to try to manipulate the results of a election, collude is perhaps a poor choose. It is one that everyone has been using since harry reid sent a litter to games comey, alleging colleagued. Ly done use that word but media picked up on it and started utessing it. It applies to antitrust laws. One has to look at all of the other potential statutes, one of them would be honest services, no, and then fraud could if does not. And other would became bain electedack. That does not apply per. So, none of these other ant larry scat eus have a application of the case. You are concerned, and i think everyone is, that is what were worried about, somehow previous Obama Administration obamadministration was so dist that President Trump won this elected. They are out there trying to undo the will of the people. I go back to fbi, when they opened their investigation right after clearing Hillary Clinton. They didnt have under the law the league basis to do it, they have to will able to identify a potential crime, and day which have to have substantial facts, they had none, but they decided to lets manufacture ag investigation to damage his candidacy, if he wins well search and maybe well find a crime. Were talking about feeter peter strzok were talking about . Yes. It will do such damage in the eyes of the public that high will be rendered useless. Greg jarrett, that is the problem in perhaps Vladimir Putin got what he wanted accident all of us in a he wanted all of us in a state of confusion, not trusting the system that, is where we are, sadly, russians may have gotten what they wantd. Looking at intelligent assessment that was done, more than a year ago. That is what they said foot putin was doing, so to sew disruption in an American Election had done so for decade. That is what the russians and before them the soviets. All right you greg jarrett on capitol hill, senator looking to craft a daca fix and legislation to secure the border could fox news chief Congressional Correspondent Mike Emmanuel with our report. We have to have deckcrat support for daca, we think there is a good collapse of getting daca done. A hopeful tone from President Trump. Today republican senator, grassley, all rolls out a plan that reflects the president s proposal. It would address young people brought in to country illegally by their parents, Fund Border Security with a wall, ends socalled painny bray. Today they interested they can reach a deal. At every critical moment in this country. We have come together to do what needed to be done to move the ball down the field. Were all going to try, because of the gravity of the issues at stake, we know this week will be a fest of whether the senate can steer the ship through stormiest of waters. I believe it can. Reporter house is another story, key conservatives back a proposal from bob goodlatte, but emphasize border protect and interior enforcement. I say find an acommunication for accommodation there are them but no amnesty. We cannot have individuals get in the cue. Ahead of those who have been working to get in this cun roy for years. They want Border Security first, get rid of crazy visa lottery, do things in a way. Do those first. California House Democrat said her side blew it.

Susan rice facing questions about a email she sent to herself their probe of russia election interference by the book. They want to know why susan rice took the time to send the email on her final day of the white house. Joining me now with his take. Judge Andrew Napolitano good to see you. Like wise. Trish what do you think . She writes on january 20, a memo to herself, memorializing she said happened 16 days earlier january 5. I suspect that she and the president and their colleagues in west wing learned something between the fifth and 20 that caused them to try t to rereconstruction history, we know that barack obama did not conduct this by the book, we know of the state departments involvement. Of the Democratic National Committee Involvement and fbi involvement. And same Brac Barack Obama who d our own chris wallace, i have now communications with anyone in the Justice Department,. In 2016, potus wants to know all, that refers to investigation of candidate. There you. Trump. Trish what do you think they could have learned . I think that president of United States was aware of when haze what his fbi was doing any their bias against donald trump and aware of their efforts to undermine his presidency. In t he was aware that the state department was involved, he must have been aware of the unmasks of general flynn. The day after the secret recorded conversations between general mike flynn, soon to be chief National Security adviser to then president elect President Trump. And sergei kislyak. Then ambassador to u. S. From russia have theseon conversations, the next day that appeared in the Washington Post, that is called computer hacking, that is a felony. Did barack obama know what was being done in his name and his authority in west wing of the white house, how could he not know . Trish well, did he have a hand in it . We dont know, but we know his closest adviser in this email that senator graham found today, or over the weekend, tried to white wash it make barack obama appear pure by just remind myself that 16 days ago, my boss said do everything by the book. Something that was not happening by the book that is reason to recreate history. Trish how often do i think this has happened in history by various administrations . If it is what we think may have happened . Could this have happened before . I have been a vocal sometimes too loud opponent of fisa, it is a flawed system, the court meets in secret there is only one side there, nobody toking which, to challenge it, my guess, my guess, speculation, it happens in every administration. Seriousness is power on undermine a bon a bona fided government elect because the administration that was going out did not like the administration that was coming in. Trish that is scary stuff. It is. This is clear that there was a lot of forces in the obama field while high wa he was president t trying to prevent don from winning then trying to undermine his maintenance of was on the. Trish thank you. Thank you. Trish vote in pole, do you believe all high levels of the Obama Administration must be investigated their roles . Cast your vote on twitter.

To rebuilding crumbling bridges and roads and other improvement project, plan stream lines process to speed up construction. Joining me now. Charlie hurts. Is this what we need right now . Something to help get the economy going more . Tax reform, now infrastructure . It is amazing. You know what the president has accomplished in his first year. And the probably most important stuff is most dont see such as cutting the red tape, and making america open for business. If you are a conservative, if you are a fiscal conservative, and you want to see size of federal government shrink, things like Infrastructure Spending get a little bit hard to wrap our head around. But i have to say that this is what the president campaigned on, it should come as no surprise. And Silver Lining for me, you know democrats and republicans are all with government spending, maybe if he is successful in getting a big gang for the buck, maybe that will be a good thing. Trish stage manager said did he say what i think, he did. You know that is problem with washington, Everyone Wants to spend, spend. In part because you know, nobody wants to disappoint their skit constituents, perhaps opportunity for us to look at other programs he suggests that is what they are doing, disability, food stamps, increase that weve seen in people on all those. That hopefully can get reduced, perhaps a better economy have you that opportunity. An incredible amount of fraud in those programs, every time sensible republicans come forward to do something, democrats accuse them of being racist, or kicking people to the curb, remember that commercial throwing paul ryan throwing a grandma down a cliff, they freak out about this, it is appreciate to clean that stuff it is important to clean those things up. The president won last year by celebrating work. And celebrating people who work. And that is really the sort of linchpin that holds america together. Not that we have program that help people, that is find whatever. But, getting people to work, people if you dont work you lose your dignity your perspective in life your purpose in life, work is good, to have a part committed to notion that somehow work is bad or industry is evil, that is not helpful. Trish no, i agree with you. Very quickly. What do you think of democrat memo. Been junked up with these things cant be allowed to be seen, why didnt they jus just redact. Because they wanted this political fight, only way to try to rescue narrative. Is to go in there, and junk it up with, a bunch of stuff that classified. And they can say, and you know accuse president of trying to sit on it. I think that president would be delighted, i think that president would be deleted to let actual fisa wa war ans wr warrants go. If you could redact things that are important for security purposes at least everyone become to their own conclusions. You think of shocking lawless things, that we have seen so far, you would think that you know, that america people could handle the actual raw fisa warrant. Trish were tough. Right. Trish we like to work. Right. Trish at least we do now, thank you so much charlie. Thank you. Trish were coming right back with more stay with us. Devious dems pack their rebuttal fisa abuse memo with sensitive information, forcing President Trump to block it. They packed it full of sources and methods. Trish we take up the memos with fred flight, and dare devil bikers taking road less traveled. No problem for them, well show you the video next.

With blue apron, any night is a chance to see what cooking can do. Trish my next guest says when you peel back the layers of the russia probe you will find a clinton connection right in the middle. My next guest writes the clinton connection is so fundamental, there probably wouldnt have been a Russian Investigation without herb. Michael goodwin, a fox business contributor. You say its like an onion. You say when you peel them balk find one dirty trick, to coin your phrase. Whats the Biggest Issue for you. All of the allegations against donald trump that we know so far from the steele dossier and from now we learn from Sidney Blumenthal and cody sheer who are funding their allegations through the state department who gives them to Christopher Steele, who then gives them to the fbi. Then we have the leaks than come out of this investigation. All of it anonymously sourced. Hillary clinton goes on the campaign and talks about these press reports, all of which trace back to her campaign. Its like Money Laundering. They laundered all of their partisan allegations through government elements and the media, ban they come out look like they are serious. It is a sort of Money Laundering in that it was the democrats that originally engaged fusion gps to pay Christopher Steel to get all this information which had been proven false. Yet we have an investigation based on it. You cant prove a lot of the allegations in there because you dont know who the sources are. Christopher steelee did not go to russia. Some of whom are suing him over it. Trish i read it. Buzzfeed special nies journalism. They specializes in journalism. So i read it. Any journalist reading it sees that its written in a way that is full of propaganda. Its written in a tabloid sensationalist way that Opposition Research its obvious its not written in any way, shape or form as an actual intel document. Michael Christopher Steel tells the fbi hell dough basically anything to make sure trump isnt elected. He said Different Things to a london court than what he said to the fbi, which is why they want a criminal investigation of him. There are so many holes tonight, but it all traces back to the clintons. If you look and look, you will upon find one possibility of a nonclinton source. It has to do with george papadopoulos. But that came long after Christopher Steele melt with the fbi met with the fbi. It all has to do with the clinton machine. Trish and perhaps the putin machine. If you are Vladimir Putin and want to mess with us, why not feed a bunch of garbage to the guy work for clinton and the fbi and give them information that would challenge the very integrity of our system. Michael it may well be that the russians were trying to peddle dirt on Hillary Clinton. We dont know. Thats why to start and i investigation on all these we dont knows. And then the fbi texting about an Insurance Plan in case trump won and going easy on clinton because shell be our boss. Trish as we see more and more this it will put the previous administration, the Obama Administration in a very bad light. There are a lot more layers to unpeel. Michael goodwin. Thank you. Do you believe all highlevel members of the Obama Administration must be investigated for their roles in creating and promoting the trump dossier. These two mountain bikers takinged the road less traveled down a treacherous mountain in canada, avoiding the jagged rocks before reaching the end of the trail.

Trish house intelligence chair devin nunes voicing his outrage on why the author of the trump dossier isnt facing criminal charges. The house said this guy lied to the fbi and you have the senate who said this guy lied to the fbi. What is the Justice Department doing . Where is the prosecution of Christopher Steele . This is a slam dunk case. Trish we have fred fleitz, should Christopher Steele be held accountable . I think a lot of people should be held accountable. We are learning from the memo produced by the House Republicans that the fisa court was repeatly told things that werent true in terms of misrepresenting where the information came from. We have to get steele back into the country so he can be prosecuted, which will be difficult. Trish is it the fighta courts fault that they didnt get the whole zwroir . No, the fault is with the Justice Department. Thats why we have to get the transcript to find out what was the Justice Department saying to this judge to justify spying on a member of a political campaign. Trish i am with you on that. I would love to see that transcript. Right now everything we are getting is colored by a political bias one way or another. If you are saying we are going to take devin nunes at his word. You a still have the democrats memo most of of which cant be seen because there are too many National Security concerns. I want to see it all. I want to look at every last bit of it. Shouldnt we as americans be able to see what really transpired . Was the steele memo the main reason they requested this warrant . The transcript will show that. Did they play down the fact that Hillary Clinton and the dnc financed this memo . I want this earlier fisa Court Hearing transcript also declassified. The fisa court turned it down, which is unheard of. What was said in that request that they turned it down. How did they tweak this this request to get that warrant in 2016. This was a badly written memo, it has personal attacks on congressman gowdy and nunes. When there was a vote on the republican memo, the democrats threw out their memo which none of the republican members had even seen. They were told vote our memo out. Its 10 pages long. You can imagine the republican members paging through this thing to find out whats in it. Its you a stunt to distract from the russia investigation. Trish i hear you, they could have come forward with a cleaner memo. Now it just makes the administration make it look like they are trying to hide something. Fred the fbi objected to two memos. It didnt like being criticized. Too bad, thats intelligence oversight. The fbi has no right to say you cant release something thats overseeing us because we disagree with it. But classification problems is a different matter, and thats why the democratic memo is being withheld. Trish the national leftwing media is submit within a dictators sister, and they dont care who knows it. Well take up the olympic lovefest next. Ccal pneumonia that can take you out of the game for weeks, even if youre healthy. Pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious bacterial lung disease that in severe cases can lead to hospitalization. It may hit quickly, without warning, causing you to miss out on the things you enjoy most. Prevnar 13® is not a treatment for pneumococcal pneumonia. Its a vaccine you can get to help protect against it. Prevnar 13® is approved for adults to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. You should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. If you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. The most common side effects were pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash. Help protect yourself against pneumococcal pneumonia. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about prevnar 13®. Soi want you to pick a newr truck for your mom or dad, knowing that they could possibly pass it down to you one day. Oh. Cool. But before you decide, you should know that chevy silverados are the most dependable, longest lasting fullsize pickups on the road. Which means that ford f150s are not. giggles which truck would you pick . The chevy. There you go. Boom. That was obvious. Plus it looks cooler. No doubt about it. Now they know what to get me. Trish in our online poll last week we asked you, do you think it democrats have any idea how thoroughly discredit their russian witch hunt has been discredited. The leftwing media has crowned the it girl of the olympics. Its kim jonguns sister. Look at these headlines. The New York Times writes kim jonguns sister turns on the charm, taking pences spotlight. The Washington Post compared kim yojong to ivanka trump. Thats insulting. Joining me Lawrence Jones and gina loudon. We know the leftwing media has always been obsessed with communist dictatorships to asserted extent. But this feels like its being taken to a whole new level. This man, this regime, including his sister because she is part of it. They are threatening us and our very existence. Threatening us and our very existence. Torturing and killing their own people. And lets not forget, bless his heard and bless his family, otto warmbier. They are doing the work of north korea. If north korea wanted to pipe in our Mainstream Media, they are doing the work for them. If the media wants to say they are humanitarians when they are torturing and killing people. They are suppose to be feminists . What do they know about this woman other than she stands idly by while her brother kills north koreas citizens. The whole thing is disgusting and very illuminating. Trish lawrence, gina is right. Illuminating. Messed up. The idea that somehow our media organizations are doing the work for kim jongun, carrying his water because they hate the president that much . Is that what this is about . Its more than just hating the president. I dont care what your Political Party is at this point. We are talking about being american. They hate us. Thats what they do. And they teach their children every single day when they go to school. They control their own media. To see our press be so antiamerican. Thats what those headlines were. They were antiamerican headlines. Its important to know what his sisters joins. She is the head of propaganda. To see our press go along with that and know that and still participate in that, i think it was unamerican for them to take that stand. Trish you think about all these leftist media organizations, and there is something haitha luting abou there is something high a high faluting. And its an intellectual view to have. But at its core a wrong view to have. This is our country. Our people do matter. And, you know, as you rightly point out this is a regime. Even if you dont care about americans, it has tortured its own people, somehow its glamorous to celebrate this woman, gina loudon . Its the very first amendment. And its the people who fought and died for our constitution and bill of rights that gives them the permission to do what they are doing and be so hip why it cal in their defense of kim jonguns sister. She is a propagandist. How far back in history do we have to go for the left to understand how dangerous this is to their own friends and family . During the olympics. And to see them do that while our Vice President was there to represent us during this troubling time. We can literally have war with north korea. To see them take that side while and they were critical about our Vice President. He didnt shake the hand. He looked too stern. He was mean. He didnt go have cookies and milk with her. Hes representing the United States of america. The country you guys live in. The country where your headquarters where you print these crazy headlines are. Thats america. You should be standing with our Vice President. Its about country before partisan politics and your clintonbased headlines. We are talking about a dictator. What they are condoning, a dictator. Trish this is why people no longer trust them. People have sought out alternatives because they dont trust the Mainstream Media anymore. They are showing their bias on full display right now. So good to see you both always. Thats going to do it for tonights edition of lou dobbs tonight. Thank you for joining us. Join me tomorrow on the Intelligence Report sat 2 00 p. M. Eastern right here on fox business. We had a heck of a market lately. A good one today. Good night tef one from new york. [ ] kennedy President Trump gibbs his big push to rebuild americas roads and bridges. But will the American Government be forced to pay for it. Why is the media fall foliage over kim jonguns sister at the Winter Olympics . You thought healthcare and endless wars were expensive. We havent even touched bridges and dams. The president is focused on Infrastructure Spending. He sent out this tweet. This will be a big week on infrastructure after so stupidly
