Saying . Reporter molly, White House Press secretary sara sanders is pushing back hard against this story from the New York Times which claims that in a june Oval Office MeetingPresident Trump made disparaging comments about different groups of immigrants. She called the claims in the New York Times story outrageous and went on to say that the secretaries involved in that meeting, including the secretary of state, also deny that mr. Trump made any such comments. She went on to say it is sad and telling that the New York Times prints lies from Anonymous Sources. Now, the comments alleged that that the president made came in a june meeting when groups of immigrants from different nations were being read out in that meeting. According to the story, when it came to haitian immigrants, mr. Trump is alleged to have said they all have said. When it came to nigerian immigrants, he is quoted as saying they will never go back to their huts once they see the u. S. According to the story, it is based on six Anonymous Sources who either were at the meeting or were briefed on that meeting. Molly, back to you. Molly steve, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Kelly . Kelly Congress Heading home for the holidays, choosing to deal with major issues like immigration, health care and Disaster Relief funding when it returns next month. But theres still the threat of a shutdown as a temporary spending bill will only fund the government through mid january. I think that january 19th is going to look a lot different than december 21st did. Passing tax reform took up a whole lot of oxygen in the room, and i dont think we were able to get the deal that we wanted. Im hopeful that we passed it, we can get on and have a good longterm solution, and daca may be part of that process. Kelly ellison barber joins us live from washington. Ellison . Reporter to todo list is often long, and punting issues is not new for congress in general, but this Congress Left up to for the holidays, and they really a didnt do themselves any favors for january. They passed a stopgap measure to keep the government open but only for a few weeks. Is so heres what congress did not address. They did not fund the government past january 19th. They did not reauthorize the controversial domestic spying fisa program past the 19th. They did not deal with deferred action for childhood arrivals, the program that protects immigrants who were brought to the u. S. Illegally as children. And they didnt deal with aid for the many natural disasters that weve seen this year. As part of the trade for his yes vote on the tax bill, arizona senator jeff flake says majority leader my mcconnell promised Mitch Mcconnell promised to hold a vote on bipartisan daca legislation in january. Democrats wanted it dealt with well before then. Every day nearly, over 100, 10 some daca recipients, dacaeligible lose their status. We need action. We need it soon. Reporter fisa, that controversial spy program, is only extended to the 19th, and when Congress Takes it up, it wont be easily agreed on. Some senators have major concerns. Then theres military funding. Some of the more hawkish republicans say that needs to be a priority. After sequester cuts and our militarys readiness is hurting. And so we want to fund our military appropriately, but i think weve got to do the c. R. Because its the appropriate, responsible thing to do here. But weve got to get our defense appropriations done. Reporter house leadership decided to extend their recess. They were set to come back on january 3rd, but now they wont come back to work until the 8th. Kelly . Kelly all right, ellison barber from our d. C. Newsroom, thank you. Reporter you bet. Molly Mitch Mcconnell saying he wants to reach across the aisle in the new year in order to get some things done in 2018, especially since republicans only have that razorthin majority in the senate. Theres not much you can do on a partisan basis in the senate at 5248 or at 5149. [laughter] which will be the number for us next year. I dont think most of our democratic colleagues want to do nothing, and there are areas, i think, where we can get bipartisan agreement. Molly joining me now is alan smith, senior political reporter for business insider. Thanks for joining me. Thank you so much for having me on to. Molly we are going to look ahead at 2018. You just heard there Mitch Mcconnell talking about the potential for what he would like to get done, reaching across the aisle. And he talked about that very slim margin. Could it be a more bipartisan year, essentially because the gop has no choice this. Absolutely. Look, the gop sort of exhausted all of the Straight Party line stuff it could do in 2017 whether it was by 5251 vote majority, working on health care, tax reform or even if it was the stuff that President Trump did by executive action or stuff he didnt necessarily need to do legislatively, all of that stuffs basically been exhausted throughout 207. And looking at 208, the gops pretty much forced to have to do things that are more bipartisan, that are going to get democrats to buy in. Keep in mind theres some senators like senator manchin in west virginia, heitkamp in north dakota, they want to vote for some of this stuff, but its been so partisan in a sense that youre not going to get a democrat to vote to repeal the individual mandate on obamacare like was the case in the tax reform bill. So theyre going to have to do some legislating that can get some democrats to buy in at least if they want to get anything substantial done in 2018. Molly you mentioned joe manchin of west virginia, Susan Collins of maine, players that remain on the margin of things that gives them and their states to a certain extent a lot of power on certain issues. Who will be the players to watch . Absolutely, manchin and collins. Heitkamp, joe donnelly in indiana, you look at senator tester in montana, these guys are up for reelection in 2018, they want to the talk about stuff that they did while President Trump was in office for his early years. And youre going to see them at least try to get some stuff done in 2018. Now, are they going to be able to buy in . Thats going to be up to how Mitch Mcconnell sort of runs things in the senate is, but theyre going to be looking to at least take something home to their voters. Molly one of the big issues that democrats want to see movement on is daca. President trump had a hardline stance on immigration in his campaign, but hes softened when it comes to issues of the agreement dreamers. Is that something that we could see a compromise accomplished potentially even sooner rather than later . Yeah. You hear people like mcconnell and jeff is flake talking about getting this done very early on in the year, and you dont really hear any backlash from the administration about that, at least on the record and publicly. So you would think that a daca deal could be one of the earliest things they get done in 2018. And, again, without much party linespecific stuff that they have left to be able to do, daca and an infrastructure package that President Trump has spoken about, those seem like two things that could get off the ground early in 2018. Molly government funding always a challenge, and thats one of those cans they always like to kick, but also funding for natural disasters. People in puerto rico still dont have power, that sort of thing. Yeah, absolutely. Thats going to be Something Else that is, obviously, talked about early on. The budget is another shortterm funding deal that they agreed to, ask without major legislation on the front like tax reform which was what was being negotiated at the time, its sort of much more of an open docket, so to speak. So theyll have the ability to do a much longerterm funding deal that they really have pushed to the side in recent months because of the legislation that they were more focused on. Molly House Speaker paul ryan has talked about potentially entitlement reform, but it seems that might be a lot more challenging over on senate side. Is there any chance for that, or will that that kind of be couldn the road if we talk about it at all in 2018 . You know, paul ryan wants to do entitlement reform in 2018 [laughter] but in the senate theres no chance of that happening. I think some in the white house would concede that would be something to do if President Trump is elected to a second term in office. Its going to be next to impossible in 2018. Major election year, slim majority in the senate, and youre not going to have any democratic support on doing a major entitlement reform package. Molly what about a couple of things more controversial moving forward, for instance, the fisa program . You know, i think they could, you know, possibly do Something Like that, do something on that early in the year, but, you know, its not really clear. Its not at the forefront of things that a lot of people are discussing right now. Molly and what could this all mean for the midterms . Theyve got the big win at the end of the year, but now theres this effort to show they can accomplish something together, both democrats and republicans. Its tough to do in the runup to a midterm to see compromise where sides want to see that victory, right . Yeah, absolutely. That should tell you how the winds are blowing, you have people like Mitch Mcconnell talking about more bipartisan stuff. Maybe they want to be able to go into the midterms saying, hey, the democrats just managed to win a potential election race in alabama. I think its in republicans interests to work across the aisle a little more than than they did in 2017. Molly we shall see what happens, and if people see the money in their pockets like republicans promise, it could be a very interesting election year. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Thanks for joining us, alan. Thank you. Kelly the fbi now investigating after officers shot and killed a gunman who Officials Say has ties to the middle east. They say the man fired at police in several locations yesterday, and now authorities want to know if it was a planned act of terrorism. David lee miller is live in our new york city newsroom with more details. Reporter kelly, Authorities Say there is no doubt that the nowdeceased shooter was targeting police. According to investigators, the 51yearold opened fire at three locations in harrisburg yesterday afternoon. They say he had ties to the middle east and recently returned from there. A woman who says she is his estranged wife told a local reporter for the web site penn live she thought he was living overseas. The local District Attorney says the shooting spree which left one state trooper wounded could have been much worse. This could have been a really tragic incident with this individual firing many shots at police cars in downtown harrisburg in the midst of rush hour traffic on a friday afternoon, then coming up here in a residential neighborhood and firing again many shots. Reporter the first shooting took place a little after four in the afternoon near the Pennsylvania State capitol. He fired several shots at a police car and almost hit an officer. Minutes later, Authorities Say, he opened fire and wounded a state trooper who is expected to make a full recovery. Of he then chased that wounded trooper to a third location where he was shot and killed in a shootout with harrisburg police. The fbi is asking anyone with information to contact them at 2154184000 or at tips. Fbi. Gov. While possible terrorist links are under investigation, the local d. A. Says, in his words, we dont want people to run wild with speculation. Authorities would not comment on whether or not the man had been under investigation. Kelly . Kelly all right.

Kelly attorney general jeff is sessions launching a Justice Department review in response to a bombshell report claiming the Obama Administration took it easy on hezbollah drug traffickers as it pursued the Iran Nuclear Deal. Lets bring in ambassador dennis ross, former special middle east coordinator, Fox News Foreign Affairs analyst and the author of doomed to you can is seed the u. S. israeli relationship from truman to obama. Sir, its good of you to shoin join us today. At first blush, whats your reaction to this story about the alleged operation cassandra . Kelly, i am i have to admit that im skeptical. The reason i say that is i was in the Obama Administration for three years. I sat in many interagency meetings that involved discussions of how to go after hezbollah Money Laundering and Drug Trafficking, not to mention their terrorist operations. I dont recall ever seeing anybody behesitant about wanting to pursue that. Now, does that mean that in the second term especially as the Iran Nuclear Deal, the jcpoa, was being negotiated there werent times when i felt from the outside that the administration was overly sensitive to not being provocative towards the iranians, wasnt using all the leverage it had visavis the iranians . No, i actually viewed, i actually felt that the administration was, in a sense, too cautious in that regard. But i really have a hard time believing that if they had ongoing investigations for prosecution or for designation for sanctions of hezbollah that had a sufficient Evidentiary Base, that they wouldnt have proceeded. So i have to admit a degree of skepticism about whats being reported on this. Kelly well, wheres the rub . What do you think is going on here in terms of the attorney general actually looking into these, excuse me, these allegations . There must be something giving him a reason or impetus for looking into this and examining the Obama Administrations dealings with hezbollah and iran. Well, i suspect part of this probably reflects the climate here in washington, part of it reflects the pact that there was a long article in politico that quoted some of the people from the dea who had been involved with project cassandra which goes back to 2008 and was focused on going after leading hezbollah figures who were caught up in Money Laundering and Drug Trafficking especially internationally, but especially in south america. And i suspect based on what was many that article and the claims of some of the people who were interviewed that that has created a grist for looking into this. What i was getting at is my sense is there was probably debates on these issues. There was probably some tension, perhaps, between the dea and other intelligence agencies that may also have had their own operations or. Kelly well, let me ask you about that, because youre talking about tensions between the dea and possibly the cia. Would that go to weve heard this before that theres always been some sort of pecking order or competition between the services and, of course, weve seen what happens when theres no communication between the two, that things can get fouled up and messed up and, ultimately, it results in something detrimental to the United States when they fail to communicate. Its hard to know. But often times there may be parallel kinds of investigations, parallel kinds of operations. Each agency is focused on what its objective is. And if they see what theyre doing is cutting across what the other one is doing, then somebody has to adjudicate that. Thats where you have an interagency process. You have principals meetings that are run by the white house designed to sort out where theres a tension in objectives or a tension and a competition between agencies. Its quite possible in this case that what you had was a debate over some of these possible designations or possible prosecutions. And the way the decision was made went against those who were on the dea side of this. And perhaps thats whats leading those who felt that they were moving ahead, they feldt they had an operation they felt they had an operation that could be fulfilled and could materialize, and in the end, the decisions were made against them. I suspect that they were made against them either because of other priorities as regards to other intelligence operations or because there wasnt a sufficient, in the eyes of those making the decision, a sufficient Evidentiary Base on which to go to prosecution or which to make a designation in which to sanction people. Kelly dennis, youve worked in washington for a number of years with republicans and democrats. True. Kelly does any of this pass the smell test of politics . Would there be political impetus for conducting this kind of investigation . You know, one of my concerns youre right, having been a political appointee for two republican president s and two democratic president s, one of my concerns is theres a very quick rush to judgment, theres a very quick sense that we have to demonize, and its pretty hard to do good policy when youre operating in a climate where everything tends to be demonized. So im hoping this gets sorted out. Im hoping that the approach of Justice Department is going to be a kind of honest, fair one and theyll let the facts fall where they may. As i said, my facts will, in the end, suggest that that maybe theres not as much here as meets the eye. Kelly and if the facts should suggest that something took place that was wrong and that the president or the Obama Administration looked the other way when hezbollah allegedly conducted Drug Trafficking, looked the other way in order for the Iran Nuclear Deal to go through, what would that say about the status of the Obama Administration . Would it be violation of the law . I dont know whether it would be a violation of the law, but it would certainly be a violation of basic good policy and what sevens our fundamental national what serves our fundamental national interests. Again, its one of the reasons im pretty skeptical about this. But, you know, im a big believer that the facts should be allowed to speak for themselves, and i do hope this will be pursued not with a political agenda, but with an agenda of trying to determine what actually happened. Kelly former ambassador dennis ross. Good of you to join us today, sir. My pleasure. Kelly thank you. Molly republicans get their tax bill through Congress Without any support from democrats, but they could use a different tactic in the new year like working across the aisle. Is that possible . Our panel is on deck. Plus, ones serving his once serving his country in the military, now a former marine is accused of plotting an attack in a major u. S. City. If youre trying to avoid all casualties once somebody has radicalized, you cant rely on static security measures. Those often are going to be insufficient. Was my warfarin treatment right for me . My doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both and that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. This is a fox news alert. This according to the Washington Post, reporting that fbi director debty director Andrew Mccabe is scheduled to retire. We understand that mccabe spent hours in congress this past week facing questions behind closed doors of three comees it was much talk about how it went on for seven hours. Republicans were dissatisfied with his answers. Democrats called it a partisan hounding. An true mccabe is 49 years of age. Holds a unique position in the political firestorm surrounding the fbi. Weve been following all of the developments of that. Then well continue to follow this to make sure its confirmed. This according to the Washington PostAndrew Mccabe is set to retire with President Trumps first legislative win on taxes, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says republicans will look for areas of bipartisan agreement in 2018. This as a head line on the hill reads, republicans fearing midterm disaster seek a course correction. So the question is, can congress be bipartisan next year. And joining me now to talk about this, talk media news bureau chief and Fox News Contributor ellen rat ner and former Communications Director for senator marco rubio. Hes also a partner at firehouse strategies. Ellen, lets begin with you. What do you think is ahead for the 2018 midterm elections . Will the democrats have some stake in this . Can they really turn things around . Or will they be penalized for not helping the republicans with tax reform . First of all, its no great secret im a big fat democrat. But i will tell you this. The democrats should have won alabama by 10 points. They won it by a point and a half. And in virginia, they won by one vote. So even though theyre touting these great things theyve done, democrats have been careful. But the republicans also have to be very bipartisan in the way that they approach legislation or they do risk losing. They do risk losing. Alex, what do you say about that . The democrat democrats, are theg the right narrative right now, telling people, well, the Trump Administration was wrong to pass this, republicans were wrong to pass the tax reform bill. Its really for the rich. It hasnt come out yet and we wont see the effects of this according to kevin brady until february. People might have more money in their pockets. But already were hear how some campaigns in lock step are giving people thousand dollar bonuses because of the tax reform. Does this spell trouble . Peg any knew nan writes about how the tax cuts are unpopular when you pass them. I fully expect that to be the case, when people see more money in their paychecks in february, people see the long term effects of the business growing, they feel secure if their jobs. But leps do have a challenge into the midterms. We should have won alabama. This state hasnt voted for a democrat in that years. Virginia, new jersey, other places have been concerning in the last couple of months. We need to do better next year and we need to improve President Trumps poll numbers. If the president continues to be in the mid 30s in his poll numbers, thats a real drag on republican candidates. Mitch mcconnell is right, that if we find some bipartisan issues to get through the senate, issues like potentially immigration reform, certainly an infrastructure package. That will help the president s standing, republicans standing and us heading into the midterms next year. Mitch mcconnell is not the only one asking for bipartisanship. The president of the United States is talking about the infrastructure, how he believes that will bring democrat to the table as well as then theres the daca program. But thats also problematic because Mitch Mcconnell keeps kind of kicking it down the road saying the president is giving us until march to do something about that. So where does this all fall in line with the democrats and what theyll have to do. Will they work with the president . Will they work with republicans i think the democrats will work with the republicans and i think theyll work with the president. I think they want whats best for the country, as many republicans actually do. They just see it very differently. But i want to say one thing. At t did get the 1,000 bonus to every employee. But lets look behind the scenes there. Communication workers. May have been doing this for Net Neutrality. But there was also a Union Agreement as well to get it done. And Net Neutrality is something theyll fighting for. Very eloquent of you to tha poit that out. Alex, what you say about that . The initial response to the tax reform being passed has been terrific. Companies are giving out all sorts of bonuses because they have all of this extra cash or will next year. I dont think employees care why theyre getting the bonuses. Theyre just excited that theyre getting the bonuses. I saw a report yesterday that a member of congress walked into the bank and all of the tellers started applauding. Wells fargo is giving all of their employees a bonus. Hes a republican. Obviously. He voted for the tax cut. Look, when was the last time republican members of congress got applauded for anything. This was a big win for republicans in congress and a big win for President Trump. They need to spend the next year selling it making sure that as the economy continues to improve, they get the credit for it. I just got to ask you, is wells fargo the best example, given some of the things theyve done in the past . No. Any company thats giving more money. Ellen, lets this is a very fair question. How do we get a fair bipartisanship in washington. At the expense of the American People, this divided politics can fracture what were trying to accomplish in the country, liberty, pursuit of happiness for everyone. How do we get beyond the partisan em pas impasse that w . The rhetoric is important and what people say is very important and what the president tweets out is very important. One of the things that needs to happen is we need to change the language. And once we do that i think we begin to change some of the bipartisanship or the rai ranker that has stopped bipartisanship. Partisanship and how divided our country is, thats the fault of both parties. President trump has proven to be a divisive president but you havent seen a lot of democrats offering him a olive branches. So, look, again, i think to the extent that we can find Common Ground in 2018 to push forward on bipartisan legislation, Something Like a big infrastructure plan, theres a lot of agreement on immigration reform. Thats an issue i worked on in 2013. I think if we can do that, that will help get the parties talking about. I think the party will appreciate it. If i hear you both correctly, lets find a place we can agree, start there and build upon this. There will always be differences between us but we can find a way to agree to disagree in a civil way and move the government forward and perhaps see some bipartisanship on capitol hill which would be a good thing. Heres hoping, right . 2017 was a tough year for the country. The economy did well but clearly weve never been more divided than we are right now. Hopefully the president can turn down some of his overheated rhetoric and the democrats will follow suit an we can spend time talking about what unites us and what we can agree on. My final word is i have to tell you that people used to get together in congress afterwards and now social media and fundraising has really put a kibosh on that and i think were seeing the effects. Thank you both. Good talking points. Good to talk to you both about america. Kelly police in Northern California arresting a former marine accused of plotting an isisinspired attack on christmas day.

But then they told me they were kelly will is live in los angeles with more on this. Will . The fbi laying out some scary details this week in alleging ag that it was looking like a lone wolf attack on pier 39.

An undercover agent then started talking to the suspect. Jamison went own to describe wanting to use explosives to funnel a large numb. Benumber of peopleinto one plac. The fbi can filed a terrorism charge against him. While the agency notes that jamison denies all of the allegations, Authorities Say they found a note in his home insen waiting that he wanted to carry out the plan after President Trump decided to recognize gentleman ruz lia jere capitol of israel. His family says that they had no idea about the plot. I believe it started with losing his children. Thats where i believe it began. That is when he decided to convert. I hope that im not related to somebody who would take innocent lives like that over a religion or something they believe. I hope that he was just releasing whatever type of anger he had inside. Attorney general Jeff Sessions releasing a statement which in part reads the threat for radical islamic terrorism is real and serious. But the American People can be assured that the department of justice remains vigilant in protecting our homeland. According to the fbi, jamison wanted to style his attack after the halloween attack in new york where a man smashed a truck into a truck. One of two lone style wolf attacks.

Trump personally intervened to release three basketball players in china. He won the release of an american businesswoman imprisoned in year. In april, egypt released this american aid worker. His intervention freed this former cia agent from a portuguese prison. President trump has taken a very visibly active interest in the fate of americans overseas in his first year.
