Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom With Bill Hemmer And Sandra Smith 20180102

Regime. Nine protesters had been killed after storming a police station. Sandra President Trump tweeting his support, the people of iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt iranian regime. Everything that obama gave him when into terrorism and their pockets. These people have little food, inflation, no human rights. The u. S. Is watching. Kevin corkes life is at the white house, good morning to you, kevin. How is the Trump Administrations policy towards iran, specifically towards the people, different from the Obamas Administration approach . Very quickly, obviously, it is very different compared to the desire to create a iran nuclear deal, giving them back to 1. 5 billion of money that was originally dares, and back in the 70s, very similar on the other hand as it relates to the iranian people. The rights with control in tehran. The president has been very forceful in his tweeting about the iranian dictatorship, and the way the American Government continues to view this is simply this way. The iranian people do have the support, not just that Trump Administration but past administrations. We believe that is not a policy that will change anytime soon. As you point out, he has been busy on twitter, let me share more of what he was talking about. Not just talking about what we saw there at the very top of the set, but this one as well. A iran is feeling at every level despite the terrible deal made with them with the Obama Administration. Criticism from the past administration. He goes on to say, the great iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food, freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of iran is been looted. Time for change. This after the president is criticizing the leadership of another country, pakistan, taking to twitter to rail about that countrys inability to stop the flow of foreign fighters and terrorists all over the globe, particularly in afghanistan. The president a saint, the u. S. Has given pakistan more than 33 billion in aid over the last 15 years, and have given us nothing but lies and deceit, its thinking leaders are fools. They are safe haven to that terrorists with little help. Again, very strong start to the year in terms of making his opinion known in the foreign theater, but that does not show its a great deal of work to be done here right here at home. Sandra a lot going on this morning. Here we are coming january 2nd, kevin. We have heard bits and pieces of the 2018 agenda, but what gets top priority for the white house . You have to get a deal done on the budget. It has to get sent over the finish line, and this may be an opportunity for the white house to foster this notion of working collaboratively with republicans and democrats, who talk a bit about the meeting that the president will have with republican leadership. It is clear, the key for this white house in 2018, particularly if youre talking about infrastructure, welfare reform, and of course, funding the border wall between mexico, nothing can happen without a bit of bipartisanship and working across the aisle. I thought 2017 was a disappointment when it came to bipartisan action, a lot of talk, and a president , who always had the olive branch extended, has them on the phone, went to capitol hill, and certainly listened to their concerns print hes made it very clear, there is no deal on daca unless the wall is built, funding for the wall. Hes made this bed. No deal, a position of strength here for the white house, very quickly in this meeting with leaders, they will have camp david leadership, trying to get the 2018 agenda up and on the move, sandra. Sandra thank you, kevin corke. Good to see you. Eric sandra, meanwhile, north korea with a conciliatory tone, mentioning a dialogue with the south. At the same time, kim jong un warning the u. S. His Nuclear Weapons capability he claims israel and is also claiming to hit the button, right on his desk, could fire missiles. Live in london, greg, first of all, how it has south korea responded for this north korean statement . Statements coming out of seoul today. As you know, talk from north korea to the u. S. , the overtures could lead to south korea, particularly in the new your speech, kim jong un offered to send a delegation of athletes to the Olympic Games next month coming he wishes success, believe it or not, and offered his peaceful a range of issues. Seoul is offering to have a talk next tuesday with north korea. No word back from pyongyang yet. They had hope that these gains could be a catalyst for some kind of peace and the fear had been, however, pyongyang might use the games to disrupt or distract attention, using a Missile Launch or nuclear test if they are involved, then they are hoping that they could keep it dry. The rhetoric does as you noted, air, tough against united state United States. North korea same, mainly the u. S. Is in the range of a nuclear tipped missile, and also, they would spend 2018 whole string there also in her stomach, their arsenal. Sandra let us bring an john bolton, thank you for being here. These growing protests in iran, in you made a distinction, these protests are very different from the postelection protests of 2009. Why . 2009, the argument was the regime had basically committed fraud to reelect the leader. Which candidate of the regime would prevail. There was no real dissent from the notion that the regime of the ayatollah would remain in power. That is not at all what these demonstrations are about. They are calling for the leader, Hassan Hassan rouhani, overturning the regime. And then coming to tehran later. I really believe we are at a potential tipping point, very hard to say, whether the ayatollah and the islamic resolution revolutionary guard corps. More could be coming. It is a very different kind of revolution, much more threatening to the ayatollah. Sandra Lindsey Graham is speaking out, the president tweeting on this as you have heard in the report leading into it. The people have little food, no human rights in the u. S. Is watching. Lindsey graham saint, the tweet is great, but we need to do more. Listen. It is not enough to watch. He is tweeting very sympathetically to the iranian people come up but you just cannot tweet here. You have to lay out a plan. If i was president , would lay out a plan to go against the regime peered out of the european, congress, and the world, america will withdraw from this agreement unless it is a better deal and layout of what a better deal would look like, and i would stand with the iranian people the entire time. Sandra what should our next move be . It is important for the president to speak out in support of the iranian people. This penalty of people in this country, do not do anything for thats the wrong signal. The iranian people need to know the world is watching and is on their side. I do think lindsay is right. We need to take some concrete action. The United States does not want to be in a position as we were in hungary, 1956, as we were in iraq in 1991, or recalled opposition out into the street. They came, and we watch them be slaughtered by the soviets and Saddam Hussein respectfully. I think the president should flatout withdraw from the iran nuclear deal, called back into force all of the sanctions, he ought to go to congress and say, quit fiddling around. Lets get Even Stronger sanctions. We need to go to the europeans as they come and get off your moral balance beam, come down on the side of the people of iran, and provide material, Financial Support for the resistance if they wanted. Sandra meanwhile, before we talk about the prospect of a north korean team at the olympics, as we wake up this morning on the second day of 2018, and we see this growing continued threat coming from north korea, how should we respond in the new year . President trump inherited a mess and i i to mike iran and north korea, 25 years or more of failed efforts to stop the proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. A lot rides on north korea, which is the cutting edge here, because if we fail, and north korea really does achieve fully deliverable Nuclear Weapons, and a half a centuryf american counter proliferation policy will have crashed and burned. That is why the stakes are so high here. The latest statement by kim jong un negotiating, only propaganda to law the global government of south korea and a lot of gullible americans into thinking theres some kind of opening here. He knows how close he is. He will do whatever he thinks he needs to know to buy just a little more time. Sandra its remarkable when you look at the statement, and he is wishing success for the games, he is open to dialogue. And if you have a couple spare dollars, i have a bridge to sell you. This is nothing but an effort to buy more time so breathless reports like in the New York Times this morning about possible openings can distract people and allow kim jong un in constructing Nuclear Weapons. Sandra john bolton, thank you for starting the new year with us. Eric a President Trump had stinging words about pakistan. Have you heard about accusing of lies and deceit and giving safe haven to terrorists while accepting billions of dollars of our money. Will the president cut out the catch cash . Sandra what started the fbis investigation. The New York Times offering an explanation, congressman ron desantis response. Eric and President Trump says businesses are prospering because of the new tax cut, and an end to regulatory issues. What is next to do it for congress and the white house . We want to make clear on behalf of the president , we want democratic support for these measures. We wanted on middleclass tax cuts, we want to improve the access and availability for Affordable Health care. Psoriasi. It was tough getting out there on stage. Psoriasi. I wanted to be clear.

Eric spirit new details on e colorado man who shot and killed a deputy and wounded four others. Police contacted with concerns about a month ago before the new years eve incident. On the right, identified at 37yearold matthew real, attorney and an iraq war veteran, and posted videos criticizing colorado Law Enforcement. Please responded to a complaint south of denver on sunday. They say he fired over 100 rounds who eventually shot and killed him. Sandra new questions and was parked at the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 election. The New York Times had a name reporting that former campaign advisor, George Papadopoulos, prompted the fbi probe after an alleged conversation with an australian diplomat. Lindsey graham yesterday to look into that trump. Ca and other factors into the fbi probe. I want mr. Mueller to do his job without interference and i want somebody to look at the way the department of justice uses this dossier, buzz me how they usually come and i want someone to look up your 2018, this investigation will go forward. Sandra lets bring it ron desantis of the house judiciary committee. Good to see you, happy new year to you. We wake up to more questions over this russia investigation, and obviously, we have the deadline coming up january 3rd, tomorrow for the fbi to turn over the much anticipated documents that they first said they didnt have, and then they did have, and now theyve all seen the doj and fbi officials. But will we learn. Hopefully, we will learn the answer to a lot of these questions that are key questions, but they have been outstanding now for months and months. You mention what started this collusion probe. I asked Deputy Attorney rosenstein the same question under oath and he hemmed and hawed and would not answer the question. It is weird when the doj will not answer, but yet, there are people in the fbi or doj who have no problem leaking that to the New York Times. That attempt strikes me as an attempt on some people in the agency to deflect from the dossier, because they know the dossier has gone so much attention, the report that fox did about mccabes testimony i thought was really devastating, because according to that report, mccabe said they did not verify anything other than carter page went to russia, which is not necessarily a big deal. We are going to get those answers, but people are trying to say, do not worry about the dossier or these other things. Im not sure the papadopoulos explanation is any better. In fact, it is probably thinner than the dossier. At a bar drinking . Sandra it starts out, during a night of heavy drinking in an upscale london bar in maine. A young Foreign Policy advisor struggling revelation from australias top diplomat. When we await the documents i could possibly be released tomorrow, which is been quite a process to do so, congressman, what is the strategy . As you start the new year, and appears to be rush, rush, rush again. We want answers to all these questions. How did it start, when did you get the dossier, the government gets a dossier, did they pay for it . How did they leave use the dossier in terms of the trump associates, what is the role of bruce ohr and his wife worked for fusion gps, and he met with christopher steele, the guy that compiled the dossier during the election. These are all actually simple questions to answer, but we have gone months and months without any answers, and the reason why i am determined to get the answer, i think if the answers were innocuous, we would have gotten the answers a long time ago. Sandra there is the huma abedin email dump. The present is tweeting about that this morning. She has been accused of disregarding basic security protocol, she put classified passwords into the hands of foreign agents, remember sailors pictures i submarines can make jail x make deep state Justice Department must finally act also on comey and others. Congressman, your reaction. There was a sailor who took a picture that is a navy guy, it is classified and youre not supposed to do that. He shouldnt of done that. He ends up going to the federal prison for that, where you look at what huma abedin, hillary, they had all this classified information on these unclassified servers and computers, and yet, none of that was held accountable, and not only that, remember, this goes back to the papadopoulos, the emails that people were talking about with hillary was not the dnc that eventually hacked and leak, the emails people talking about with her is after the house subpoenaed her email and deleted so they couldnt be recovered. We always wanted to know what were on those emails, they were not about yoga, i can tell you that. Sandra happy new year to you. Eric new year, slew of new laws across the country, along with how your Furry Friends could be a part of it. Eric with the new year, new laws now into effect. Like in california, where it is now legal to sell marijuana for Recreational Purposes live in los angeles hello, jonathan. Almost everybody could be affected by these laws in some way or another, and if you are r minimum wage worker, the changes will have a very significant effect. California, the latest date to legalize Recreational Marijuana with Business Risk yesterday at this santa ana store while the longterm impact of the law is still hazy, growers are expected to be a boom, the state will be making a lot of money by taxing sales heavily, and anyone over 21 canal light up provided they do not do it while driving or riding in a car. A big changes for gun owners here in california, they will no longer be able to buy ammunition online and have it shipped to their home, and anybody convicted of a hate crime will be prohibited from possessing a gun for six years. The minimum wage will be going up here in california. In new york and several other states across the nation, and new yorkers will get what governor is saying the nations most comprehensive family leave policy, eight weeks for most workers. Interesting new law too given the freespeech debate on College Campuses across the country in 2017, tennessee know that colleges cannot exclude speakers based on opposition by others to what they might say. Legal experts say it is in line with federal law. The Supreme Court has always said, the answer to speech if you do not like, more speech, not a restriction. To new interesting laws in illinois, your pets cannot be treated like children in divorces and custody, and illinois declared august 4th, barack obama day. Eric, while i am honored to share it with the former president , in my house, august 4th will always be my birthday. Eric i bet there will be a state that will name that, Jonathan Hunt day. Thank you. About time. Eric we will report on that. Speech at the deepfreeze gripping much of the midwest and the northeast is now targeting the deep south. How low will it go . Eric and President Trump, talking about pakistan, threatening to hold billions of dollars in a country, what he wants and why he wants to come and what he plans to do ways hav. When i found out i had agerelated macular degeneration, amd, i wanted to fight back. My doctor and i came up with a plan. It includes preservision. Only Preservision Areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula recommended by the National Eye Institute to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd backed by 15 years of clinical studies. Thats why i fight. Because its my vision. Preservision. Sandra stocks had begun trading for the new year, and look at that, the rally continues in the first minute of trading, stocks already surging. The dow, more than 100 points, and they just started a few moments ago, 2017 with a recordsetting year for the stock market, up 5,000 points. The dow in 2017, climbed 25 . A lot are wondering, can wall street keep this going, and while the rally continue into the new year. December marks 14 consecutive months of gains, and the 21st rise over the last 22 months. There are the numbers for you. Eric wow, wow. Well talk about that in the next hour. President trump is talking tough on pakistan, accusing the country of supporting terrorism and as a result, the president is threatening to pull billions of dollars in american aid, tweeting, the United States have foolishly given pega sent more than 33 billion in aid over the last 15 years. Theyve given us nothing but lies and deceit, thinking our leaders are fools a safe haven to that terrorist, little help, no more. Does the president have a point . Rich lowry, marie harf, and fox news contributor, welcome to both. I will start with you, rich lowry. The government accused of sheltering taliban. Critics say, they have been faced. Absolutely, trump is actually correct. He has the insight here, pakistan is not a typical front of the United States, its a devious adversary of the United States. It does give shelter to terrorists operating in afghanistan and the government is shot with extremists, especially with security services. Like to see the pakistani squeal and squirm over this per the question is, what is the policy Going Forward to make relatively easy to hit them on twitter, is much more difficult to come up with a policy over the longterm that turns the orientation of pakistan around. Eric marie harf, what have we gotten for 33 billion . Rich is right, this is a problem for the past decades trying to deal with, and they try to square the circle, the administration of both parties have often felt it was better to try to get pakistan in the tent, even if they were problematic partner, which they certainly are, that you totally have them outside the tent supporting more extremist. And President Trump is right in theory, but the question really is, it is bigger change in policy, are they going to cut out the funding that they have been Holding Since late summer . Or was this President Trump tweeting. The investor of pakistan was called in today by the pakistani government. What is actually going on here, rich is right. The pakistanis have harbored terrorists, some that have killed u. S. Citizens for many years. Eric shouldnt we cut out the money . 255 million will not be handed over. In theory, yes, absolutely. The problem is, pakistan has leverage over us, no matter how bad they are, they can get worse. This is a government with Nuclear Weapons, and the problem we have had over the last ten years or more, trying to turn the pakistanis around, they are solely focused on their own interests and what is happening in afghanistan. We have 200 different balls in the air when it comes to national security. They usually win out. I hope the administration comes up with the strategy and a policy that can change that, but it is not easy. Eric what would you suggest, rich . Pressure and really trying to think about what the alternatives to the ways we rely on the pakistanis now. Again, eric, that is not very easy. If they turn against us, what is our land route into afghanistan . We are not getting out of out of afghanistan anytime soon. That is another product of the Trump Administrations review last year, which fingered the problem we are having with pakistan. Again, this is not very simple. Eric these are good points. Can we actually do this by withholding money or other Strategy Change pakistani behavior . That is the billion dollar question. If you withdraw aid and cut them off, you lose leverage. The state feels like the United States discarded them, they do not have a lot of incentive to try to crackdown on extremists that we are asking them to do. I actually think withholding some, the Obama Administration did that too to try to change pakistani behavior. Eric did it work . It has not worked yet, because extremism is so ingrained in parts of the Pakistani Security forces. They always spoke to india in trying to build up some of these territories. We have different interests, clearly in the region, and i think maintain leverage, we are open to having a partnership and counterterrorism, but you have to change from it that is the way to do it. Thats a nuanced strategy you cannot do over twitter. Eric they are not likely changing, the isi it is said to be riddled with extremists and the taliban philosophy. You certainly, how come it didnt work . Believe me at the caa, we are frustrated with the isi. We also recognized, unfortunately, they were the partner we had there. It is very complicated. There is no easy answers, trying to walk this line by saying, we want to give you aid, we want to give you assistance, but you have to meet certain criteria, and you have to change. I do not know if itll work in the end, but we have to try. Eric did they meet any criteria met by the Obama Administration and the caa . They were led out by us, congress, they played a role that taken steps at a time to crackdown on extremists, but they continue to harbor, actively supported lp letter e, which killed americans. This is very couple can print out a yes or no answer. They are very difficult partner. Eric finally, rich, how do you see this plan out . They have and approach correct, and i think is right to pressure them. See where they can pressure to give them. Pakistan looks to india as the main enemy it sees afghanistan as strategic, having the taliban there as an insurance policy. You look at the taliban is the main enemy in india as an ally, and how you square the circle is extremely difficult and unfortunately is not going to happen. That is right. Eric sometimes our friends may not always be her friends. Thank you so much. Sandra it is cold outside, it is really cold outside, and im not talking about here in new york, all over the nation, including the southern United States, areas like texas and florida remaining 10 to 30 degrees below average, while carolinas will be hit with a wintry mix on wednesday. Meanwhile, reporting breaking cold temperatures and colder arctic air continuing to move across the great lakes into the northeast, i am a chicago girl, eric, i can handle the cold, but it has been really cold. For those down south, you better buy some hats and mittens, i do not know. Eric make sure the pipes do not freeze, keep the heat on, i have a fireplace, get some marshmallows. Speed to take advantage of the snow. Eric there is more coming at the end of the week, they say. President trump hoping to keep the momentum going in the new year, but lawmakers facing a big agenda this month from Government Spending to the future of the dreamers edit daca. Will will they be able to keep t going . Marsha blackburn will be asked to discuss that, next. We can have Smart Solutions to border security, and we can solve this problem in a narrow fashion. The good thing is, nobody is talking about deporting. victoria vo when i was twelve, i started volunteering for national parks. I go out and demonstrate to people what life was like in the eighteenth century. You can have almost a spiritual experience with the beauty of nature or with a connection with the past. Theres no better place to find that than a national park, which preserves that beauty and the history. vo the subaru share the love event has donated over sixpointfive Million Dollars to help the national parks. Get zero percent financing for 63 months on select models, plus well donate two hundred and fifty dollars to charity. Eric center al franken will officially step down from the ascendancy today. He is resigning after almost a month of the announcing departure after Sexual Misconduct allegations. Within a halfdozen women say he touched them improperly or made unwanted advances. Franken successfully was the minnesota lieutenant governor, tina smith, she will be sworn in tomorrow and plans to run again for the sea when it comes up. Lets make a long turn. We need to grow the economy, looking at 2017, historic from the standpoint of tax reform. The dreamers, the dock issue. Sandra congress is facing a big todo list with the second year in office, the Dreamers Program along with, but growing questions for the democrats will be willing to come to the table and work with republicans. Congressman Marsha Blackburn of tennessee, happy new year, good to see you. This is heading up to be a pretty aggressive agenda to kick off the new year, and lets start out with government avoiding such on, that is quickly approaching. Sandra exactly right, it is quickly approaching. But as we look at this entire bucket of issues, but we have to realize, that the Republican Party is the majority, and it is time for us to act like the majority party, get these things done, just as we did in tax reform. And that is what people want to see. Getting the government funded in doing that in a responsible way. I would like to see us bring in some spending reduction, so we are looking at the longterm and not just the short term. Sandra on many of these issues, the question is, how will he will democrats be to compromise . We would love to have them at the table with us. We are very disappointed that they did not want to work with us on the Childrens Health insurance provision, and with that funding, we would have liked and we thought we had a way to get that, the renewal, and we were disappointed they did not want to come to the table. The door is open. There are places for them, we would like for them to be working with us on these issues. Speak to the president recently tweeted, there is no deal on the dreamers without a wall, its a while im asking how willing democrats are to compromise, that question also needs to be posed to the president as well, is he willing to compromise . I think also it needs to be posed to the American People. Here is why. I talked to constituents in tennessee every day. They talk about the damage done to their family with Human Trafficking, trafficking, drug trafficking, and it is heartbreaking to me as a wife and a mother. I know that my colleagues across the aisle hear the same stories and secured the southern border and what and illegal entry. What the final result is going to be, getting that law stopping the lottery system for immigration, stopping chain migration, dealing with the issues on the dreamers. I do not know with the final outcome is going to be, but we need to make certain that we approach this in a bipartisan way, and it is the responsibility of us as republicans to bring forward new ideas, and to continue this type of conversations with our constituents. Stop illegal entry of drugs, stop the sex trafficking, stop the Human Trafficking and deal with the issues. Sandra we will get a sense of starting up the first few days, but we just looked at the dow, it is up 100 points to start the year. First day of trading and as you know, 5,000 points, largely in anticipation of republicans getting tax reform done, and you heard your colleague mark meadow, we need to continue to grow this economy, largely to meet those expectations. What is next for the economy, and republicans pushing growth . Our buddy art laffer is in the studio. Hes about to come up. We will see continuing the work to get him the cost of doing business with the government. Reduce what government spends, reduce the impact of regulation, address some of the litigation and you do less regulation, less litigation, less taxation, it will equal innovation and job creation. It is a formula works, you can take it to the bank, and that is exactly what we are seeing happening now. I have to tell you, i talked to employers and employees here in tennessee every single day. The number of companies that are increasing wages, they are paying more, doing more for charity, it is amazing to me. They are so pleased with President Trump and the work that he has done to revitalize our economy, and they are looking forward to working with him on infrastructure, broadband and jobs, jobs, jobs. Sandra thats a huge issue, the 2018 midterms around the corner, i would ask you, how do you describe the current state of your party . I think it is very vibrant. There are lots of good ideas, and the American People are ready for bold ideas and bold moves. They do not want to go around the edges. They want us to do the heavy left and really deliver. They are seen the impact and the progress with tax reform. They are looking at those year end statements on the 401 k , and everywhere i go, my friends, get back to work, lets get the job done. Attack infrastructure. Lets do the broadband extension, and derek said about the potential and opportunity in 2018 and beyond. Sandra a lot to get done as you laid out for us, congresswoman.

Is a terribly tragic incident, the two individuals, the four individuals that were killed were his the 16yearold to parents, sister, and a family friend, who lives at the residence. Sandra a fox news alert, 20 dead after massive protests, Supreme Leader lashing out saying the enemies of the Islamic Republic are to blame. Welcome to a brandnew hour of americas newsroom, i am sandra smith. Eric hello, sandra. And i am eric shawn and for bill hemmer. Good to be with you. President trump is making sure his approach to iran will be a bit different than his predecessors. A few hours ago, the president tweeting this, iran is feeling at every level despite the terrible deal with the Obama Administration. The great iranian people have been oppressed for many years, they are hungry for food and for freedom along with human rights, the wealth of iran is being diluted. Time for change. We have complete Fox News Team coverage on all this, rich edson is live at the state department, but lets begin with connor with the continuing protests for a fifth day. Hello, connor. Ds protest began last thursday, but not in cities like tehran, urban areas, more rogue conservative cities, and they are continuing to defy the leadership, the central complaint appears to be the stagnant iranian economy, we see protests around the country, and that is really the key point, its not the urban elite, the conservative base as well, the crackdown reporting more than 100 people have been arrested, at least 20 People Killed while iran leader, ali khamenei said outside agitators and enemies of iran, but unlike in 2009, the green revolution, led by politicians, these protests are a bottom up leaderless movement. They do not know who to point fingers at. They will point fingers at a broad, but they had people under house arrest. The iranian president Hassan Rouhani is walking a fine line by acknowledging the grievances of the protesters, but also at the same time, violence will not be tolerated. How long these continue to go on, eric and sandra, how long theyll be able to tolerate some protests or a massive widespread crackdown, it really begins, and that is a question. There is a real tension in iran with the stagnant economy and the people there and the regimes ability to deliver on some of the economic promises that they have offered in the past. That really seems to be the main tension there right now, eric. Eric what happens next is the fear. Thank you. Sandra the Trump Administration with the people and i iran. With the first year in office, the Trump Administration has forcibly condemned the regime and embrace these protesters. Vice present tense, United States will not repeat the shameful mistake of our paths when others stood by and ignored the heroic resistance as they fought against their regime. The bold and growing resistance of the iranian people for all those struggling for freedom and tyranny, we must and will not let them down. The state Department Official confirming the u. S. Is preparing sanctions against iran if government cracks down violently on these protests. The story first and the wall street journal. The state Department Director of policy planning told the journal, it the u. S. Is collecting all information on human rights abuses and against peaceful protesters. Officials say the u. S. Is also lobbying allies to publicly stand behind the protesters. European governments have asked iran to guarantee the rights of a peaceful protesters, although they stopped well short of the condonation of the Trump Administrations offer. The president is promising policy reversal from the Obama Administration. No longer certified that they are compliant with the bulk of the iran nuclear deal, although it still keeps the United States in the nuclear deal spending Nuclear Related sanctions. Also the u. N. Team exclusively obtain internal memo claiming that the government there believes the unrest has hurt every sector of the countrys economy and threatens the security is that regime is trying to figure out how to deal with these widespread protests. Sandra rich edson from the state department, thank you. Eric from the sanctions, support for freedom and democracy. President trump making a clear, his administration will not repeat the policies, tweeting and support for the protesters and criticizing the Obama Administration that turned out to have given the state sponsor of terrorism billions of dollars. Chris stirewalt joins us a lot this mean. Chris, back in 2009, president obama became under a lot of criticism for not speaking up at first, and he eventually did. One top official of the administration said it was a mistake. You think the president is mindful of all that . Sure, but he has to be mindful of the mistakes that obama and other president s, not just his predecessor, made the other way. When we look at syria, libya, and we look at intervention and pressure on egypt for regime change there, and what was once optimistically called the arab spring, sweeping through the region. That worked out very poorly. For american president s, do you make it better, is intervention effective, does it serve the longterm policy goal of the United States. These are not easy questions, and not in favor of good things are bad things, picking and choosing these moments is tough. Eric some people say you need the bully pulpit, tear down this wall, the either and piled that now is the time for when the iron is hot, the president to use that and put change in iran. Doesnt have the desired effect . And that is the real issue. Do you see, this is not going to be an organic revolution. This is not organic protest, but this is in fact the United States and israel, western countries are bowing the unrest to harm the islamic state. That is what they are telling their people, and they see the United States, when they see other countries doing that, they say protesters, you are on the side of donald trump, you are on the side of. You are not on the side of the quran. Eric and iranians are coming up, the former prince calls for the same type of demonstrations. He said theres a Freedom Movement like in poland like the fall of the berlin wall and the collapse of the soviet union print right now, Nelson Mandela for his country, is now. Heres what the prince had to say. We as iranians do not ask the world to do the job for us. What we say, give us the tools, means, support so we can do the job. Do not throw us under the bus. This is a message that is very clearly from President Trump to the new french president , whoever is out there. Eric they are asking for help by the iranian people. I doubt you will give very many votes for him to power. This one is very tough, because we do not know what the outcome of this revolt will be, and one of the potential outcomes here is harder line clerics get to be in charge, because as you were talking about, the revolution has not taken place among the educated elites in tehran, this is an uprising on the countryside, people are frustrated from corruption, want reform to a more pure version, perhaps, of the theocratic nation, but we do not know which way this will go this is highstakes in syria, rebalancing on the iranian peninsula. This is want to watch. This could change, this could be a focal point for the history of this region. Eric you have several opposition groups. To the National Council of resistance of iran, the woman who is the leader of the organization, and she is being blamed by the iranian government for formatting some of these protests, heres what she just said over the weekend about these demonstrations. Regime change in his time to have the policy on iran. Practical leaders. Eric practical measures, we talked for a new, she suggests not cutting them out of the International Banking system. You think that will help . If, in fact, that is where we go, and at last, i think what you heard from the prince previously, the real issue, is this the same within iran before we get to the question is United States going to intervene, can we bring additional question, will it go beyond the bounds of their political system to maintain and control, or is this going to go away . We have to watch and see and watch carefully, because we can help, we can also harm. We have to watch in mind our ps and qs. Eric its a time of fear but opportunity. We will see how it plans up and we have been here, chris, its always good to see you. Happy new year. Sandra the stock market continuing where left off before the new year, the dell already this morning, the triple digits in the first few minutes of trading up 2018, so what is behind the continue surge, it will talk about it.

Speak to a community rattling behind the fallen colorado deputy, 29yearold Zachary Parrish was 1 of 5 officers shot in a ambush while responding to reports of a domestic disturbance. The Community Holding a candlelight vigil at a church to pay tribute to the man who they say losses life will try to help someone. By the love and support of the community and of the nation, never in my world heather wouldve imagined this. Sandra he leaves behind a wife and two young daughters. Eric former fbi director james comey over his critics say is a bit of a lack of awareness. Comey tree to coming home in 2018 brings more ethical leadership. Truth and lasting value, happy new year, everybody. She was deaf to the president , george, governor, good to see you, and happy new year. Clearly, take a shot at President Trump, but you think is in a boomerang . Heres a context to the whole thing that is happened at the fbi. Working men and women, doing good, but it is the most powerful institution in government, and power tends to create an arrogance, a self feeling that you know better than anyone else, and theres a history of that at the top of the fbi, j. Edgar hoover was famous for putting his aum dossier, if you will, on the president and bullying the president he served under, more recently, the Deputy Director under nixon he was angry that he hadnt named tim number one, is sought out bernstein and woodward, thank you. As deep throat orchestrated the process that brought nixon down. We should not be surprised if mccabe, comey, are sitting under the Obama Administration, not possessed by the same hubris and thought they were saving america with their insurance policy to undermine the campaign of donald trump and have her bed, if he became president to get rid of trump if he became president. That is what i think is driving comey, hubris. Eric what if it is not hubris in his point of view, what is the service of the nation, having been in vietnam, prosecutor, he is sticking to the law, and he sees it as is his duty to uphold the constitution . He is also the guy that has an awkward timeline in his testimony to congress, who decided, it that mrs. Clinton was innocent, supervising and fbi, all of these things that are coming out taking place, uniquely responded to the brother lynch, calling the matter, allowing the computers and other devices to be destroyed, even though they probably contained evidence. This is a man who says he is serving america, but i think it is a guy sitting at the top of the predecessors, let the power of the fbi go to his head, and made him do things, which i believe were not only unethical, but possibly been unlawful. Eric meanwhile, people say it is dangerous to attack the bureau and the institutions. Peter king has this quote, as an institution, we have to make clear, we are dealing with a scalpel not a sledgehammer. You cannot have a situation where people say, you cannot trust the fbi. That creates a spirit of anarchy. Finally, governor, are you concerned about what all these criticisms will do, undermining the faith in our Justice System and as you said, tens of thousands of men and women at the fbi for putting their lives on the line . Speak i think the country has faith in in the rankandfile f the fbi. What it really wants no, they want to get questions from rosenstein, uncertain questions, and i think of anything, undermining faith in the fbi was the two of them going to congress and saying, they cannot answer those questions. That is what creates concern amongst the american public. Eric a lot of concern and questions around the emails that had been released. They will be going all through this in the new year coming its always good to see you from the cold and snowy New Hampshire this morning. Beautiful scene, i am sure. Sandra new fallout from a New York Times report, former Trump Campaign advisor, George Papadopoulos as the spark of the Russian Investigation. What happened to the socalled trump dossier .

Computers are back and running after a glitch with long lines for travelers heading home for the weekend. Can you face that after a long overseas flight . They say, immigration computers went down for about two hours last night, forcing passengers to wait longer than usual to get into our country. The machine shut down, and we spent three hours with two small kids. We had a connection flight and said, could we get to the front of the line . Most of us have delayed flights now. Eric what a traveling nightmare for those folks. Right now, it is unclear what caused that outage, but officials say, they did not believe it was malicious. Sandra a 16yearold from new jersey, gunning down his family in their home im newsy. The boy shot his father, mother, and older sister as well as a family just before,. Scheduled to appear in court right out just before ten, 10 30. The first appearance will be the videoconference. They have not released the suspects name, because he is a minor, and he is currently being held in the mill sites facility 20 minutes before midnight on new years eve, inside the family home, 16yearold shot and killed his family, 44 steve analytical og, 18 yearold britney, and a family friend who lives at the home, mary schultz. The normal one called cayman at 11 43 p. M. From inside the home, the suspects older brother and grandfather were also inside the home, but managed to escape unharmed. We will be charging the individual with four counts of murder, and one count of possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose.

As for motive, we do not know they appeared prosecutors will have a press conference at 11 00 a. M. Today, we are told they intend to try at the teenager as an adult. Sandra obama, brian, the surviving brother is speaking out . The New York Post is reporting a friend shared the following Instagram Post written by surviving brother about his parents. He said, they nature christmas came every year, although they struggle financially. I cannot even describe the people they were, so believe me when i say, how great they were. As for my sister, she was so beautiful and smart, i just wish i could tell all of them how much they meant to me, and how much i truly loved each and every one of them, because i did not do that enough, and please, please, remember to give the ones you love an extra kiss or i love you.

A neighbor who knew the family said, the 6yearold suspect requires special assistance and was cared for by his mother at home, but was fully functional. A cousin said, he had a learning disability and described him as it posited kid. Sandra devastating. Eric heartbreaking come in 2018 is shaping up to be a big year for congress. Coming up, taking a look at some of the major items on the agenda ahead of novembers Midterm Election. Sandra new fallouts and reports that staff are George Papadopoulos sparked the fbi Russian Investigation sandra eric from the New York Times, claiming Trump Campaign Foreign Policy advisor George Papadopoulos that he was the central figure in sparking the fbi Russian Investigation. And that apparently the infamous dossier. Catherine herridge live in washington with more details on this. Good morning, catherine. Australian media is reporting that theres anger and frustration over by u. S. Official, australian diplomat that may have kick started the fbi russian probe. The australian besser to the u. S. Personally secured the dealings with the fbi during the 2016 campaign after a meeting earlier that year involving a senior australian official in a Trump Campaign aide. As you mention, the times reported a meeting between George Papadopoulos and australian diplomat with the fbi russian case, papadopoulos told diplomats in monday london, dan information on Hillary Clinton. Two months later in the summer of 2016, when wikileaks began to hack, the Australian Investor like the incident to u. S. Intelligence. Reporting on americans newsroom, the senior republican side, the reporting about papadopoulos is a distracting and a scandal is the fbis reliance on the unverified trump dossier. Burgoyne to get those answers to the dossier, but people are trying to say, dont care about the dossier or other things. Im not sure that the papadopoulos explanation is really any better. In fact, it is probably thinner than even the dossier. In some guy at a bar, drinking . Speak of the Justice Department and the fbi under new pressure to meet tomorrows deadline to comply with the request for records about the dossier and witnesses from the house intelligence committee. For more, it Chris Bedford and ben kissel, political commentator. Ben and chris, youre both wanting to jump in and weigh in on this. I will start with you coming chris. Its interesting that comes at this time. I have a lot of reporters chasing this time, because it is an interesting story. George papadopoulos the 28yearold figure getting drunk and london bars and shooting his mouth off, possibly gave himself a lot of trouble, and that is something we want to find out. Theres a piece on foxnews. Com by a former cia operator, and actually a democrat says, he is concerned about the sources here. I think theres a point to that. People have been played around by leaks, targeted leaks in the intelligence community, department of state, sometimes from the white house that have really changed the narrative multiple times, in the first story of the year was the dossier, big dossier. Broke about a year ago. After that, it was still paired by multiple stations, even after exposed as a fraud, and after he came out that Hillary Clinton and the democrats had actually funded this dossier, people are saying, Anonymous Sources telling the New York Times, its not that, it is George Papadopoulos. Its an interesting break, but i am suspicious about the whole thing. We will be curious to what you come up with, ben, and treating come of the problem, more Anonymous Sources without clear vetting and biases, enough is enough, go on record or forget appeared our democracy deserves better. Your thoughts . Papadopoulos, he shouldve watched the movie, fight club, the first rule, you do not talk about fight club. He is getting lit at a bar, eric everything from the top of his head to this individual. The nihilist from the big lebowski are more organized, then what is going on here in the Trump Campaign. Its another indicator that there was a lot of amateur individuals working for the donald Trump Campaign, and this is the result of it. Sandra when you watch the piece, they asked the question, why are they suddenly so interested in his staffer, papadopoulos, rather than that dossier . How does this change the political talking points and the narratives surrounding the dossier at this point in time . I highly recommend that piece, are headed our editor is asking, why is this coming oh, no, the officials, lease u. S. Officials, we know that for sure, and they have kid about that, it turns out, if it is true, it turns out it is a cause of the fbi investigation, that is interesting. The timeline childs papadopoulos before the actual release the emails. That would be really interesting. I dont think it will stop congress, will not stop senator Lindsey Graham from investigating what seems to be more likely the cause of this investigation, which is a dossier that they shared with president obama and Vice President biden, when they said, i do not know what this is all about, and then it was leaked to the press, that seems to be more of the shining apple to me. Sandra according to the morning harold, theres government that they leaked it to the press and breeze of the broader conversation of unwanted government leaks as well. Of course, the leaks as technology, it is what it is, it will continue to happen. To have government leaks, lets not forget. Even the dossier, financed originally by republicans to discredit donald trump, derail his campaign in 2016. Obviously, the democrats followed up and financed it themselves. This is just another reminder of how the russians were complicit in the victory of donald trump in 2016. Sandra i will let chris respond, the investor responding to all this. The relations in excellent shape following reports the top australian diplomat helped spark the russian probe. No argument to me that they have their grimy fingers in politics since the soviet union put together an intelligence agency, and they continue to today. I do take issue with the fact that the idea that the republicans funded, it they funded opposition research. The guy who put it together, the chinese came on, the Washington Free beacon had no longer funding for fusion gps, and i wasnt entirely democratic thing. Lets hurt you, ben. There was bipartisan hatred for donald trump and 2016, and that is what led to the dossier. Lively discussion, good to see both of you, thank you for being here. Eric the politics to back the business for lawmakers on capitol hill. First on their agenda, trying to avoid a government shutdown. President trump taking two twitter moments ago, the democrats over another issue and that is immigration. The president tweeting, they are doing nothing for daca, interested only in politics. The activists will go hard against them. Lets start falling in love with republicans and the president. We are about results. Mike emanuel no with more of the details. Hello, mike. Good morning, eric. They hope to hammer out a Funding Agreement that would run to the end of the fiscal year. Even september and set up a shortterm extension. The white house official tells fox, Mick Mulvaney and marc short will meet with the big four leaders of congress at the capital tomorrow. Ryan, pelosi, and she met with big items ahead on the 2018 agenda. With of spending bill, reverting a government shutdown. President trump Gave Congress total march 6, daca, if a Structure Plan in january, and push for a bipartisan deal. I asked the Senate Republican conference chair cow he would handle the issue of those children brought to this country illegally by their parents. When you address the issue, you have to address the broader issue of illegal immigration. I am hopeful we can find a bipartisan path forward that enables us to deal with daca and come up with a solution, but at the same time ensure that we are addressing the inline problem. I also asked Debbie Dingell where she has common ground. Infrastructure, it is not just roses roads and bridges, e shall broadband across this country. As your talk about energy, electric vehicles, we should have the infrastructure, the amtrak accident that we witnessed last week, recommendations were made two years ago that a needed to be installed. It could have saved lives. I think a lot of things i said i will work with the president. I will work with everybody and anybody to pass legislation through. That is my job. 2018 is a Midterm Election year, onethird of the senate up for reelection. That likely means, if theres any bipartisan cooperation, it will not last for long. Eric we may hear more from the state of the union at the end of the month. Sandra stock markets on a high note with the dow at first rising more than 100 points out of the gate. Up about 76 points now, but what is leading to the continued climb in the stock market . Terrifying moments, when a car plays right into some icy waters coming as you can see, the rescue caught on camera. Speak to the coast guard receiving credit for jumping to the rescue of an 89yearold man who drove his car off ava marina and into the water and panama city, florida. The coast guard cutter happen to be nearby and spotted the accident, rescuers needed to break open the windows of the car to be able to grab the man and bring them to safety. Authorities say he suffered a medical issue that caused the crash. He is really hospitalized. Eric Investors Holding onto the optimism, the first trading day of the new year, that after President Trump passed tax reform. Rolling back regulations, the number of industries such as coal mining, it seems to have a good effect on the Dow Jones Industrial average and what is going down i wealthy. Take a look. Was nudging past 100 points a little while ago. It has been at sea signed a bit and edging up against the magic dow, 25,000. Probably will get there at some point, carl art laffer, good te you. It seems optimistic on wall street, and a lot of attention on the tax changes, but tell us a bit about regulatory reform, because that is something the president has been really zeroing in on. It has been quite exceptional, he has had all of these consecutive orders, that had changed the revelatory environment dramatically. He got rid of the mandate, which is a an enormous benefit in the last tax bill. He has also withheld the funds for the Insurance Company to subsidize insurance companies, which all it does is pump up the price thats all subsidies do. He has done a really great job on all of that. The tax bill, its my favorite issue, as you imagine. But he has done there is out of sight. It is better than we did with the reagan and the first year. Its a lot better. Eric critics say, giving away to corporations and the rich, the top 1 . How do you answer that . Let me say, going from the 35 tax rate to a 21 tax rate, for every dollar you earn, 35 coming to get to keep 0. 65, 21 , you could to keep 0. 79, thats a 21 increase in tax return on investment, so these companies that have potential investment are going to invest like mad. Those companies that do not have good investment opportunity, they will give the money back to employees or to shareholders, buybacks, dividends, and let them do the investing for them. It is really a red herring for these people, they might keep it, that is silly. This will really increase investments and also reduce the tax sheltering it all the lawyers lobbyist, l reduce all of that. I just think this is the most wonderful bill of measurable, and he has done it. Eric want front page of the New York Times, i will read be due, the lead column on the lefthand side of the New York Times actually says this about President Trump. A wave of optimism was swept over American Business leaders, and is beginning to begin new plants, factory upgrades, bolsters Economic Growth spurts job creation, and may finally raise wages. It will be a defining theme of his presidency. Have you ever thought you would see that in the New York Times . Speed of the New York Times used to be really great, they were against the minimum wage, it did the best single editorial, 86 or 87 87 on why e be a minimum wage. They have historically been really come a very good. I do not know how theyve gotten a little bit off track here. They will come back on track. They are a good newspaper, and it will come back on track. They have great writers there, and great thinkers. Eric what you think about the economy . Right over my shoulder, there it is. Nudging up 25,000, and you really think this will all translate to us . We will have more jobs, more money in her pocket, and will see it by the midterm . Yes, the people who currently dona jobs, they will find jobs. Most of those people will get the low level jobs that are not the highpaying one, but they will get jobs that they otherwise did not have. Those people who do have jobs will get higher paying jobs, more responsible jobs, and i too will happen there. Both of these groups together are going to be much, much better off. That may not lead to an increase in the median rage, people getting jobs of low pay, but it is great for the economy, its just what we did under reagan, and what is happening now, i think you will see growth going above and 3 for this coming year, and may be above 4 for the next year, and you will see all sorts of prosperity, and i hope the stock market continues, but eric, up to now, it is up enormously, 19,000 to make almost 25,000 . That is a huge, huge increase. Eric i do think that will be round round wrangles stomach reagans stomach eric we will see. Thank you. Sandra it was again for the history book, no biting into the rose bowl, and all sec National Title game in College Football, up next, we will show you some of the best place in what was a thrilling new years day slate of old game action. Sometimes a cough gets in the way of a good nights sleep. Thats when he needs vicks vaporub. Proven cough medicine. With 8 hours of vapors. So he can sleep. Vicks vaporub. Goodnight coughs. On happening now, President Trump back from his working vacation calling for change in a iran amid daily protests, and what he says needs to happen and why. California a sanctuary state officially join criticism and a billboard welcoming felons. A big win for the hit Movie Star Wars the the last jedi. The ports are strong with that when people have annexed on the hour. Sandra it will be in all sec match up for the national championship. Alabama knockdown number one cleansing while georgia won a Double Overtime thrilling its oklahoma. Claiming their spot, fox news headline 24, with more, what an exciting day. January 1st, sandra, it is the birthday for College Football essentially. Is the biggest day, and yesterday, it did not disappoint. How about the georgia bulldogs . The rose bowl . One year ago, the score was 5249, southern cal beat penn state, and this turned out to be the highest going to rose bowl in the history of 104 bull goals and they score 5448 win over oklahoma in Double Overtime. Eric to Double Overtime never before playoff game going to overtime and we had Double Overtime, and it was all about georges running game, which makes me believe that unless alabamas defense can stop this very dangerous team, they could be in trouble. Sandra alabama is the favorite, all sec match up, they will play where . Mercedesbenz stadium in atlanta, because for the georgia bulldogs, day or 70 miles away in athens, and for folks that want to travel, it is only two and half hour ride. Alabama took care of clemson last night, in case you did not get a chance to watch the sugar bowl, getting it done with defense. At one point, they scored 13 points on defense in a span of 13 seconds of the third quarter. This is my favorite player of the day. Daron payne, 300 pounds, comes up with the interception, and a couple of plays later, he enters the game compared your member the refrigerator, perry . While clemson got a little dose, because he would go on to catch, a oneyard touchdown to the big guy. They thought it would be black, georgia getzen, and an amazing matchup between coaches, because kirby smart, head coach of georgia sandra as an lsu girl, there was disappointment, but nick sabin, former coach of lsu, coaching alabama, the story behind that is what . Nick sabin is essentially the mentor and protege of kirby smart of georgia. He helped alabama win for National Titles in recent times. Alabama now has a shot at a fifth title over a nine year span. Unbelievable. He reminds me sometimes of Bill Belichick and the patients come patients come at the way these two systems are so finally sandra i get hives when you mentioned nick sabin. You cannot deny the fact that he is one of the most successful College Football coaches in the history. Did not get it done in the nfl though. His team did not do well with the miami dolphins.
