Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom With Bill Hemmer And Sandra Smith 20181227

The question that i would like to have at the moment, the president says that he will do whatever it takes. Thats what he told reporters and troops, that he would do whatever it takes to get that wall, and however long it takes to get it as well. We need all wall, so when you say how long is it going to tak take . When are they going to say that we need voter security . When are the democrats going to say it . The democrats all agree that you need a wall until i wanted it. Once i wanted it, they didnt agree. When asked how much money he is willing to accept, the president wouldnt get specific, but the budget director seem to be acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, they gave him a counter offer that is less than the 5 million. The author was around 2. 5 billion, with the majority going to a physical barrier at the southern border. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers are expected to be impacted by this partial Government Shutdown. Multiple federal agencies. Around 95 of their employees. That is just one example. Administration to the fact that the last pay period ended on december 22nd, and they say that those paychecks will go home on december 20th. They have pointed to that he say yes, we are in the middle of a partial Government Shutdown, but the effects are not necessarily being immediately felt by workers. That being said, tomorrow is the 20th. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers are expected to be impacted by all of this, and based on the president s remarks, the lack of movement on capitol hill, it seems like this shutdown could very well keep going, and theres not very much optimism. Heather and he made some of those remarks send a surprise visit to troops in iraq and germany. He spent about three hours on the ground, the president and first lady. He gave a speech to troops for about 20 minutes. This was his first trip to visit the troops who are you stationed in combat zones. Defended his decision to draw down troops in places like syria and afghanistan, telling soldiers that they need to step in and share more of the burden. America shouldnt be doing the fighting for every nation on earth. Not being reimbursed in many cases at all. If they want us to do the fighting, they also have to pay a price. And sometimes, thats also a monitor price. So we are not the suckers of the world. We are no longer the suckers. If needed, President Trump said that iraq can still be used as a base. He has long been critical of the war in iraq it, but he told reporters he has no plans at all to withdraw troops from the country. Heather. Heather all right, no longer the suckers of the world. Thank you so much. Appreciated. How long do you think the shutdown will last . Whatever it takes. I mean, were going to have all wall. The American Public is demanding a wall. I think they are under a lot of pressure. The problem is we need ten democratic votes in the senate. The house is 100 . Nancy says we will never get the votes in the house. Not only did we get them, we got them by a lot. Rick President Trump says he is confident that america is on his side. Without ideal, the partial Government Shutdown will stay in place. The Deputy Editor of roll call, great to see you. It seems that the president s strength is negotiating. He wrote the art of the deal. In this case, the clock is ticking and a tough way. Yes, it is ticking. One of the things he is up against, Chuck Schumer, nancy pelosi bill, they dont have to actually make any sort of deal right now because the pressure is on the president. He has made his point and made his negotiating stance very clear. But there is sort of a time limit on what he is talking about. The house is about to change the majority. We are one week away from a new congress, here nancy pelosi being the new speaker of the house. She says that on that day, she will put forward another funding bill that will not include the 5 billion for the wall. So the democrats feel that they are negotiating from appointive strength as well. And we are in the sort of lockdown staring contest. Rick polls have shown that americans perhaps dont think the wall is a priority, but we have seen pulls wrong before. The president speaks confidently that america is on his side. What you think . I think this is one of those things that is sort of difficult to gauge because some of even the terms that we are using they are getting a little bit hazy. At one point, it is the wall, then steel slabs. I havent seen any poll that says definitively this is what the American People want to the American Public wants. So thats a really difficult thing to gauge. You know, the representatives up on capitol hill, at least right now, they dont seem to be operating with a sense of urgency about this. I was on the hill yesterday for whatever reason. It was very quiet. It was pretty much an empty set of buildings. Like late into the afternoon, newspapers piled up in front of the offices of the appropriations committees, which would do a lot of heavy lifting on this money bill. The leadership staff. I dont think that the public is clamoring one way or another on this. And they are shielded i think from some of the really negative effects of a partial Government Shutdown because i flew back from visiting friends and family in phoenix the other day, and the tsa was there to make sure that everybody was safe. Rick the federal workers are going to keep going to work, but they wont get paid until lawmakers settle this. Coming back this afternoon, and the president points out that the democrats wanted some sort of wall security before he made it his Core Campaign issue, so i guess the question his credibility here. Right. It wasnt even before the campaign. It was just this year. He requested 1. 3 billion for construction of the wall this budget year. Then they made a deal to keep the government open in april, signed off on 1. 6 billion, so it is a little weird that we are hanging up the entire government over this. That is like onetenth of 1 of the entire federal budget. But these are not normal times. I hate to use the word normal, no one really knows what that means anymore. It seems like there is a fairly small difference between the two sides and how they resolve it. If somebody is able to save face on both sides, you know, you would think that they can get some sort of deal. That next pay. For them that will cover this period of time, that will be when the pain really starts to set in. Rick and i dont think theres any question that the longer it goes, the more pressure there is on both sides. Right. Right now we are just not seeing that kind of urgency. They are discussions happening, but the principles are not talking to one another. That is what is really needed to get this deal. Rick they are going to have to Start Talking. I suspect that they will be talking starting today. One would hope. Rick thank you so much. Stay with us. Heather now to fox extreme weather alert, major storms causing headaches for millions of americans. Traveling today after christmas. It looks pretty but not fun for driving. At least 5,000 flights as well delayed and on the ground, the roads are a mess. Trying to get back on. It was really sudden, real wet snow. Small little snowballs coming down. Floating down. All of a sudden, there was a ton of snow. We got here, and then we stopped. Heather we are tracking all of this from the fox news weather center. Adam, what is ahead . Just a massive storm is what is ahead. Its already a big one. It stretches all the way from the gulf of mexico, stretching down into texas all the way to the canadian border. Only on the backside of this, that is going to be a lot of snow before this is all said and done. Here is where it sets up, and weve got the advisory. Everything here in red stretching down from portions of minnesota over towards the dakotas and kansas, those are blizzard warnings, which means visibility is going to get out below a quarter of a mile. Its going to be breezy and gassy. Have a stone. Anywhere from 810 inches. Maybe even getting higher than that. This is our future radar, and what youre going to notices for most folks, it will only be ran. Only in that area where receipts though winter storm warning will it continue to fall. Today into thursday. Eventually towards the east coast, is become some heavy downpours of rain. Thats going to be had for everyone else, but if youre in that area, it is going to be a lot of snow. Again, were talking about anywhere from the dakota stretching back towards kansas. 810 inches. In some cases come up to 12 inches. There could be some flooding because of the same system farther south. It will be too warm to support any kind of snow. Your forecast and the highs today, just a lot of cold air. It stays warm, even as the system moves towards this. We are looking at highs in new york city. Both the middle of the country has got a big a star imputes me to how warm it is. Im, you have to worry to mike work about iran because rick has a flight that he has to catch. Rick its all about me. Dont blame me. Heather thank you so much, adam. Rick fox news alert. A recordsetting comeback on wall street. The dell posting its biggest single day gain in history yesterday. Climbing more than 1,000 points after logging its first Christmas Eve ever. We will take alive look at the markets at 9 30. Heather and were going to talk about russia. Igniting the tensions. New hypersonic of missiles that cannot be intercepted. What a Vladimir Putin is saying about its capability. Rick plus President Trump making a surprise visit to the troops following his announcement on syria. Now he is defending that controversial decision. Some will come here. For a stay, but a lot of them are going to be going back home where they want to be with their families. They have done a fantastic job. Ill help you carry on lean on me. Oh oh ozempic® vo people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of onceweekly ozempic®.

Rick russia condemning what it says wasnt in the really air strike. They put two civilian airplanes in immediate danger in an provocative acts. The capital of the masted israel has not commented but confirmed that it did fire and Aircraft Missile at syria. Men and women stationed have played a vital role in the military defeat of isis in iraq and in syria. Because of these games, our Service Members in syria can now return home to their families. Heather well, President Trump speaking during his surprise visit to iraq yesterday, defending his decision to pull roughly 2,000 u. S. Troops out of syria. The president is taking the hand from both sides of the aisle. And those shake up at the top of the pentagon. Daniel davis, senior fellow military analyst. Thank you so much for joining us. We appreciated. Its my pleasure. Thanks for having me. Heather so you served two times in iraq and afghanistan. What did this was a mean to the troops . It means a lot. It doesnt matter whether you are republican or democrat. When they come to visit you, its a big deal because you are the man who sent them there and he was keeping them there, and i think you have an obligation to go and visit them. It means so much to the troops. Nothing but miles on all of the faces of all of the troops. Heather it really was remarkable. He spent about three hours there. He talked about syria. And he defended his decision to pull troops out of there. Some 2,000 troops. What did you think about what he had to say about that . I couldnt agree more. I think it is a little late in coming. I wish when he had made that back it and ohio, how he is going to get out of syria, i wish she would have acted on it then. It is absolutely in our interest to have those troops, because one of those big misunderstandings. Big democratic senators, other people who are naysayers, what they dont understand is that those troops have not been doing anything for security. So their absence is not going to cause any harm because that is not the way that we defend ourselves and to prevent terrorist attacks in the United States. So he needed to pull them out. So its a good move. Heather what about endangering our ally, israel . He did defend that decision. He doesnt see that happening either. I could tell you for a fact that the greatest military power in the middle east is israel. And they are most clearly able to defend themselves as we saw in your previous segment, talking about how they launched a missile into syria. They have never hesitated to doing that. That is one of the big reasons why you have not seen it in recent days are recent years. Syria or iran. Because they always lose and they always respond heavily. So they can definitely defend themselves against any enemy over there. Heather i mention that you served twice and afghanistan as well. Also talking about a drawdown of troops there. What is your opinion about that . I have been long advocating that it is time for that mission to come to an end. Extraordinary numbers of tragedies and men and women who have sacrificed their lives, and we will never, ever won that militarily because you cant win that needs to happen soon. John bolton was with him on that trip, but clearly not there. Secretary of defense mattis who has stepped down, he will be leaving sooner than expected, actually. But President Trump does not seem to be at a huge hurry to replace him. Who do you think should replace them, and what you think about that situation . Well, i think that is something that needs to be addressed pretty quickly. The person who needs to fill in that role needs to be somebody that recognizes President Trumps noninterventionist and realist Foreign Policy views. That is what he ran on. That is what the people voted him into office work, and he was kind of like the washington establishment. He thinks we need to keep troops everywhere forever. So i think its good. One particular offer, a person who might come to mind is jim webb but because he was both a republican and a democrat. He is definitely in line with the president on those very subjects. Heather you mention this is something that he ran on. It was six months ago in the spring. This is going to happen, hes going to pull troops out of syria specifically, yet we have this struck now that he has done it. In terms of the timing and the way that it transpired, what do you think . One of the things that he said was that he gave his military officials who were against him leaving, he set i will give you six months. They asked for more time. He said no, no more time. I think it just erupted. It would have been a lot better if he had coordinated with some of our key allies and some members of congress before he did that. But be thought as i may, the decision is still good. Heather its done. He doesnt seem to be going back on it. We really appreciate your insight. Always my pleasure. Thanks for having me. Rick indonesia already struggling to recover from a deadly synonymy. Now facing new challenges as officials face another destructive away of heather plus jerry brown vowing to fight Climate Change.

Now to the situation at the border, Homeland Security secretary Kristin Nelson ordering extraordinary protective measures. After the death of two Migrant Children in u. S. Custody within the last two weeks. We are alive from west coast with more. What is the u. S. Doing to address this problem . Number one, prior to this year, not a single child in customs and Border Protection for a decade despite thousands who arrived sick and starving. That change this month when two children from guatemala died. Top to bottom review of the agencies and medical screening procedures. She ordered more transport. The processing can take hours. At medical exams for every child currently in custody. The center for Disease Control helps identify possible viruses that may have contributed to their death and wife so many are needing hospital cts us to i. C. To figure out a faster way to transport detainees to shelters or supervise, the immigration system is at the breaking point. Apprehending 2,000 people a day, 60 women, children, and families. Heather troubling to everyone. What is happening along the border about the surge of Central Americans that began under president obama in 2014, by the way . Well, for all that the u. S. Has tried under President Trump, the zero prosecution, the separation of families, telling people only to use supportive entry for asylum, it has actually gotten worse. President trump is about to end catch and release. He is finding out his rhetoric does not live up to reality. There are no quick fixes. Three days this week, isis force the drop off at the greyhound station because there was nowhere to put them. They are coming hungry, they are coming thursday. They havent bathed in a long time. So this isnt just happening in west texas but across the border and other sectors. The message it is sending come of course, despite what people may read and the u. S. Is saying, there is a chance they will be set free like the people you saw there. Heather you have to figure out a way to get that message to them, the message that we are trying to release. Thank you so much. Indonesia raising a solar level with officials widening the volcano danger zone and warning people to avoid the coast where a tsunami killed more than 420 people last weekend. Authorities now fear and another tsunami could be imminent. Break it, what is the latest situation with the volcanoes . Another tsunami. It has already caused so much damage. Officials now hiking the danger level of that to the second highest. That means that there could be soon a new eruption which could threaten more towns and village villages. The volcano continues to spew out smoke and ash, and love is coming up. So much that air flights in that region are being diverted from the immediate area. Also confirming today that it was in fact an underwater landslide, triggered by another option from that saturday night that created this tsunami wave. The latest death toll, 429. 1500 injured. 160 still missing. 20,000 homeless. This thing could happen again, and pretty soon. So what we know about Recovery Efforts . Its mess. Because of the devastation. To some heavy rains and flooding in the area. There are camps that set up, really supplies getting to the people. The latest reports that we have heard, a bridge was knocked out, isolating six other villages. So a state of emergency remains in effect at least until the end of next week. Questions really begin to ask why was there but are warning . Why was there better protection . Of course, that region is the scene of a lot of that. It was exactly 14 years ago on this day that we were sent to the region along with other fox news crews for that horrendous earthquake and tsunami which left at 220,000 dead in that area. Thank you for that. Heather well, the New York Stock Exchange opening it just moments from now. We have an eye on it. After a record rebound yesterday after the massive selloff on Christmas Eve, what happens next . Record, i understand that yesterday you had in estimate as to what it would do. You are right pure luck, there goes. Rick that was yesterday. Heather what about today . Rick you know, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Heather thats true. It is very early in the day. Thats true. So we will see what happens. We are going to talk to some experts on it, not just us, coming up. Rick plus russia raising the Nuclear Stakes with Vladimir Putin talking about a new weapon system. Is this real or just bluster . The new system is potential anniversary. Its a great success. Great victory. Rick fox news alert. The dow jones rocketing over 1,000 points yesterday. Biggest single day point gain ever. The surge coming after record losses on Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, the opening bell ranges moms ago. Down 345 and counting. This is a remarkable jump yesterday. Theres not a person in the world who could have predicted except for you. Is that what youre saying . Rick is there anyway that anyone could have predicted thi this . Its going to be up 1,000. 1,000 . Rick in a matter of minutes. I like that prediction. We will watch for that. Rick it was was an up and maintenance eventually. People want to hold their positions. There is a lot of always rotating in and out of stocks in the last hour of trade. Markets, its kind of like a basketball game. What really matters is the score at the end of it, right . Yesterday we were up 1,000 points. Rick s obviously people thought that there were bargains out there. People thought are we really and recessionary conditions . Not really because the Federal Reserve is still predicting 2 growth youre not exactly contraction. I would characterize the markets right now, oversold conditions, meaning we fall 1800 points in four sessions, that is pretty dramatic. I would also say that there is thin volume. A lot of traders and investors are on vacation, the holiday. Racquet, so a lot of dramatic moves are exaggerated. Something that we call late cycle, which is bull market runs. Where we are right now. They dont usually last ten years, but it has been ten years, and we get to later stages of that expansion, all the gains that have really been made, the easy ones have been made. We get too late cycle, you see a lot of dramatic ups and downs. Rick bigger swings and people are used to, right . I think we should also remind our viewers that we are dealing with something that is very different than we were ten years ago. First of all, the markets have climbed like a thousand point since then, so you are dealing with bigger numbers, and its a computerized world. It is not just the wolf of wall street pictures of people throwing tickers, that is not how it is anymore. Theres a lot of computer driven algorithms, people sitting back and pushing buttons now. That headline comes there, or people selling, that is kind of what happens. They go in one direction. Rick is that what were seeing today . We were up so big yesterday. Probably people who thought now we are on the way back. It was a one day thing. This is what we call usually profit taking. You make 1,000 points, im down 5 from a year, you dont want to look like its a down year. People dont want to give you their money to trade it anymore. If you are down 5 on the year, you take back say 2 . You make it look like you are only down 3 . Rick so in the last hour, are we going to see another crazy ride . Do you want to make that prediction . Come on, be brave. Rick im going to quit while im ahead. The number 600 is in my head. Im just going to throw that out there. Positive or negative . The clock does strike 12 twice, you know. Rick from fox business, thanks. Heather lets talk about russia flexing its military muscles. Vladimir putin overseeing the testing of hypersonic Nuclear Capable missiles. The kremlin claims that they can strike anywhere in the world and easily evade Missile Defense systems. Senior Foreign Affairs correspondence, life for us in milan. What about this new weapon . Tested yesterday. Yeah. It was tested essentially yesterday, rolled out back in march. As you mention, hypersonic. It has an intercontinental rang range. Most obviously, terrifyingly, it can invade u. S. Missile defense. He referred to it as a new years gift to the nation yesterday. One Moscow Military expert said although it is an expensive toy, truly not a game changer with all of the weapons that are out there. Nevertheless, something that can invade our Missile Defense system will no doubt be giving the pentagon a headache. A prudent has putin has been o. It was yesterday, whole new family of muscles was unveiled. Before he was reelected president , it is about showing russians and the world that they can defend themselves. The melting away of the pillars, first President Trump an ounce of the u. S. Will withdraw from the ins, the intermediate then the likely death of the new treaty which is key to it. We are entering extremely risky times. American withdrawal. It means that both countries, it is a situation where there are absolutely no agreements. Heather now alexander goals is an esteemed expert. He said that he is worried about a new cuban missile crisis type of situation. Heather Something Else that plays into all of this is syria. What about the u. S. Withdrawal from syria . How does that play into russias hand . Well, no surprise, the u. S. Was not legitimately there in the first place, having been invited in by president asada. We certainly know that this does give russia a certain leverage in the region now. Very important country. Again, this analyst aside it is going to be more of a headache for russia because the war is not over. They will not be responsible for ending a very complicated and ability guerrilla civil war. There has been a lot of talk about russia positioning itself for lucrative contracts for the eventual and missed all of that, it is unclear where the money will come from for the eventual reconstruction of syri syria. Promising President Trump allegedly that they will take care of what remains of my sister. Thank you so much. Rick sometimes the best gifts arrive after the holidays. One lucky person in new york city got the gift of a lifetime. Holding a Winning Ticket for the 290 million of the powerball jackpot. And the winner live in our new york city newsroom. I would not be in this chair if i were holding the ticket right now. Someone in brooklyn is 293 million richards. The winning numbers were five, 25, 67, and the powerball was 24. But they will be sharing that jackpot with uncle sam. 37 of the income tax, and new york state has the highest taxes. The lucky winner was not alone either. There were also milliondollar winners in kentucky, florida, and wisconsin. Now it resets to 40 million for saturday nights trying. But if you did not won, there is hope for you yet. The megamillion string is tomorrow night. Because there was no winner, it rolled over to 340 million. Cash option for that is more than 210 million. Folks were trying their luck at penn station in new york city. Are you aware that this store sells more winning lottery tickets than any other in the state . Thank you. All right. Ill take it. Yeah, why not . Feeling like you. Yeah. What do you think . Is he going to win . I hope that he wins. Yes. Awesome. Remember that huge jackpot back in october . It is still unclaimed. It was sold outside simpsonville North Carolina. Still no one has come forward. The money will go back to the state, so if you are rushing to grab your tickets this morning, remember, youre more likely to achieve stated or be drafted by the nba even as a woman. But the odds are one in 302. 5 billion. They manipulated numbers. Reaching record highs. Some of the theory was it will bring more attention, but the chances are down. Rick. Rick i have a source who says he knows where won that jackpot. Thanks, jackie. Heather not me. Not any of us, i dont think. The government could use that money peer President Trump not backing down. The government will stay closed until Congress Funds the border wall. Our pan always enough next. Folks are saying can we have that technology . You have to have a wall. You have to have protection. Heather President Trump slimming democrats and insisting that the government will stay closed until Congress Funds the border well. Lets bring in a fellow at the independent womens forum and host of the podcast problematic women. Thank you both for joining us. We really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Kelsey, i will start with you. Whos winning the battle at this point . The battle of the shutdown . I dont think anyone is winning. The Government Shutdown, and that is bad for all americans. That said, i think is that democrats need to realize that they might have made some gains in the midterms, taking back the house, but the democrats took control the senate and the white house, so they absolutely have to come to the table, negotiate with President Trump, and realize what he is asking for, 5 billion, to secure our borders, is not unreasonable. This is a key issue that the present campaigned on, and there is no reason that they shouldnt be willing to compromise. Heather so jason, and your opinion, are democrats willing to compromise . What with the compromise before democrats . I think that democrats are obviously willing to compromise on a great number of issues, and when it comes to Border Security, there are lots of measures that i think we can come to the table on. When it comes to a border wall, thats a nonstarter. Its not going to happen, and the president had an option eight months ago. Democrats offer 25 billion for a border wall in exchange for a pathway to citizenship. The president left it on the table, and right now, hes paying the piper. Also, he is not very popular right now. A new poem i him at about 30 approval rating. Both bushes were at about 60 of the structure and their presidency. So hes not doing really well. I dont think hes winning. He has every element of government right now, and hes failing. Heather something tells me he hasnt mentioned, go to the border. That will be coming up at the end of january. We also have democrats taking over the house january 3rd. If you think democrats will delay on till january 3rd . And it what to think about him going down to the border wall . Would that be an opportunity for him to address the nation . Absolutely. I have no doubt that democrats will try to delay the fight as long as they can. But President Trump going down to the border wall to make his case for why this works is that absolutely what he should be doing. Mapping out, making the case for the American Public why walls work. Every democrat who was unwilling to vote should really explain why back in 2006 and then again in 2013 they were willing to then. Democrats including Chuck Schumer. They have done it before. Only because they dont like the man sitting in the oval office that they are unwilling to do it now. Heather s out there for a moment. Jason, how about you . You explain that for democrats right now since we dont have nancy pelosi or Chuck Schumer sitting here. Explain it because that is true. I would agree with kelsey that we dont like the man sitting in the white house. But we have 650 miles worth of border fencing right now. This wall of the president is proposing could cause environmental issues, Eminent Domain issues in terms of encroaching on private property. Heather when they voted in favor of it, those issues were not there before . As we said, they have been 650 miles of border fencing already. And also followed by the way, all my crossings are down tremendously since the beginning of the 2000s. This is not really the issue that democrats want to hang their hats on. We have scanners and other things. Heather apparently no one wants to hang their hat on it. Thank you both for joining us. We are out of time. We will see what happens. Thank you, kelsey. Rick californias governor looking to the stars. Tracking climate altering missionss. Adjusts to keep you both comfortable. It can even warm your feet to help you fall asleep faster. So you wake up ready to make your resolutions, reality. And now, the queen sleep number 360 c4 smart bed is only 1299. Ranked 1 in Customer Satisfaction with mattresses by j. D. Power. Plus, 24month financing on all beds. Ends new years day. Sleep number. Proven, quality sleep. Rick california governor jerry brown says hes taking matters into his own hands when it comes to the battle against Climate Change. With the States Development of a special satellite. Live on our west coast bureau to explain this one. Good morning. You are right. Jerry brown says he has wanted the satellite for a long time. Recently saying with science still under attack and flood climate there is going, we are launching our own damn satellites. A Greenhouse Gas that contributes to global warming. For californians of a certain age, it might sound like deja vu. In the 1970s, during his first term as californias governor, brown proposed a Communications Satellite to link state leaders in the event of an emergency. At that time, the idea was so out there, it helped earn him a nickname, but governments and private companies have launched numerous satellites. It is fitting that brown, 80 years old, is now owning the nickname he got in his 30s. He is now embracing the moniker. But i think the time has come when the future has finally caught up with him. So he is right on the money, and this is a good thing for california. Heather californias governorelect agrees that it will be a great book mark in his history. The name, design, cost estimates are still being worked out. A private company will build it and lodgment into space by 2021, with dated being available in 2022. It is interesting to note that as he prepares to exit politics, jerry brown is both the oldest and that six youngest governor, thanks to the 28th year gap. Rick what other name because they give it . In los angeles. Thank you. Heather fox news alert, the partial Government Shutdown looking like they are hitting a brick wall over the border wall as we entered a six. The standoff between President Trump and congressional democrats. We are live on the hill with the latest coming up. Prewashing and removing stuckon foods, the first time. Wow, thats clean cascade platinum. Rick sent democrats reject the offer, and with no signs of a counter offer, the two sides remain. Im rick leventhal. Heather im heather childress. Nice to be with you. A very lucky to have the day off. It is day six of the shutdown if you are counting, and no signs of progress. At least not so far that we know of. They will meet later today, but while lawmakers agree to skip any other votes until they have a budget deal. Democrats are totally are totally hypocritical because they supported 700 miles of Border Security back in 2006. I think they ended up being kind of counterproductive. I think it is important for the president to come to the table, find a way to appreciate that, but the wall is essential. I would not have shutdown like government, but lets find a way out of it. There has to be wall. Heather it is shut down for us. Peter doocy is live for us. How likely is a deal to over the shutdown today . How likely is that of happening . Heather, there is no indication that anything is going to change today because neither side is budging on the border wall. Not much is happening in washington as best as i can tell. He needs to sign a bill, schumer needs ten votes for it to pass in the senate. Hopefully it went schumer decides that he agrees, we need security on a mexican u. S. Border, we will be able to go back to work. President trump was occupied yesterday with a trip overseas but still took time to clarify hes fine if the shutdown lasts a long time. Whatever it takes. I mean, were going to have a wall. Were going to have safety. We need safety for our country. We have terrorists coming in through the southern border. We have the terror was also coming in through the southern border. It was always the easiest. Some republicans are hoping for a fixed to the shutdown, to the border while funding before nancy pelosi takes over as the speaker so that she doesnt get as much credit for fixing it. Heather thats right. January 3rd is next week. It do they have much leverage right now, though . Some democrats are talking about the shutdown like they see a strategic benefit to letting it stretch out as long as possible. I think that the way that we are walking into it, we will promptly open the government. We understand the First Response that we have is to force the president to sign legislation, that opens like government again, so that we can continue to move forward on the agenda that we are doing during this campaign. The issues that matter to the American People. And vote to you and the shutdown is at least 24 hours away because that is how much time they will get before they have to go back to work. Heather before they have to come back. So we will see how many shop today. Thank you so much, peter. Rick President Trump and the first lady are back in the states after an unannounced trip to iraq. Visits with senior military leaders. An enthusiastic crowd of men and women cheered the present to thank them for their service. Commending them for the job they have done against isis. Two years ago, when i became president , they were very dominant group. They were very dominant. Today, they are not so dominant anymore. Great job. I looked at a map, and two years ago, it was a lot of red all over that map. Now you have a couple little spots. Rick live from the pentagon to show where those little spots are that isis still holds. Today, isis only controls a small town in eastern syria. About 150 miles from the air base where the president spoke to the troops. Now, a few isis pockets remain just a few hours north of baghdad. The group has largely gone underground. Back at its height in 2014, isis controlled an area, today the pentagon says that they only control 1 of this territory. They could have as many as 30,000 fighters across iraq and syria. Ideology is still popular abroad. Speech that he gave, he defended his pullout from syria. I made it clear that our mission and syria was to strip isis of its military strongholds, rebuilding syria will require a political solution. The president says in his rich neighbors will pay for the reconstruction, including saudi arabia. Rick so he is sticking to his promise. Also said that he may pull troops from afghanistan, so what about those who are still in iraq . More than 5,000 u. S. Troops currently stationed in iraq will be staying there. That includes special operations forces, who could be called upon to launch a raid. It now isis still maintains an estimated 400 million for chips, that could be used to launch more terror attacks against the west. Because isis is an completely defeated, he says the polity and syria will be slow. Very deliberate, very orderly. While maintaining the u. S. Presence in iraq to prevent an isis resurgence and to protect u. S. Interests. Also to always watch very closely over any potential reformation of isis and also to watch over iran. Iranian politicians located in flat iraq were deeply disturbed and anchored over his surprise visit to iraq. Rick i can imagine that. Thank you. Heather meanwhile, just one week after announcing that he would withdraw all u. S. Troops from syria, President Trump defending his decision. There in iraq. They shouldnt be doing the fighting. For every nation on earth. Not being reimbursed in many cases at all. If they want us to do the fighting, they also have to pay a price. And sometimes thats also a monetary price. So we are not the suckers of the world. It we are no longer the suckers, folks. And people arent looking at us as a suckers. Heather lets talk about that. He is a white house columnist with the help. Thank you very much for joining us. My pleasure. Heather he says we are no longer the suckers. We will be respected again all over the world. Look, he has for the long time gone against the Foreign Policy establishment. Breaking republican ranks as well as democratic. He has been skeptical, pretty physical, so these remarks are not all that surprising. He clearly believes that what some people believe his multilateralism is in effect something that empowers nominations to take not just the United States come at their fair share of defense. Heather you take a look at the numbers come of the Different Countries involved, but President Trump also talked about the personal level. The bottom line is he is tired of sending sad c military members families. Listen to this. Its time to get our soldiers out. Its time to get our young people out. I have been sending plenty of letters, and i dont like sending those letters over to parents, saying that your young man or your young woman has been killed. And i dont like doing it. Ive been doing it long enough. You look at afghanistan. 19 years. Weve been doing it a long time. Heather hes right. 19 years in afghanistan. He is talking about a removal of troops, along with syria. 5,000 or so will remain there in iraq. Yes, thats right. Hes arguing that the troops in iraq could be used for the fights against isis if isis does indeed recover from its much diminished position. But i think the point about the letters to the brood is an important one. I think sometimes in washington Foreign Policy circles, the degree of the American Public, the involvement in the middle east, that tends to be underestimated here in washington sometimes i think. I think the people who have borne the brunt of the struggles and those losses dont always gets as prominent a voice as they do in these Foreign Policy debates. To be fair to the present, that is exactly what he is talking about in this remarks. Heather the truth still forgotten. We look at the media coverage. I know on the shows that we do, we will mention it one day, there is a true member killed in afghanistan, then we dont mention it because the 24hour news cycle, we are just so quick to move from one topic to another topic, but we have troops over there still being killed. Yes, i think that is a very valid point. Obviously at media coverage, that is a much bigger story, but the fact is if you compare the situation that we are into the one that we were in maybe ten years ago where the wars in iraq and afghanistan where very much frontpage news, getting a lot of attention, clearly Media Attention has dropped off. Certainly that can feel good evening for the troops or for their family members. Heather does it bother you that President Trump, 705 days into his administration, this is his first trip to a combat zone . Its a break with tradition that it took him that long. I think credit to him for going. Its was something that he had come under criticism for before during holiday. Periods. It is customary for them to see the troops. I think it was right for him to do so. Heather irregardless, they were so thankful. You can see by the looks on their faces, taking selfie pictures and that kind of thing. He is being criticized now for his trip. When he was being criticized prior to this were not going. In terms of what happens next in our Foreign Policy, that will be an appointment to replace james mattis. Who do you think that should be . Well, one name that has come up quite frequently is senator tom cotton. I dont know whether the senator would take the job. It is critical that relations between the president and the secretary mattis, james mattis clearly favored not just the u. S. Staying there but broader difference, which was that the secretary believes that the president was essentially undercutting alliances. So if there is the degree of a fundamental difference, it is we shall see if the president can get someone more in line with his own viewpoint. Heather more in line with not nationbuilding. Thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate your insight. Thank you. Rick fox news alert. A new warning for indonesia. Authorities are wanting everyone to stay away from the coastline. It fears that the volcano could trigger a landslide into the water, sending us i can tsunami wave crashing ashore. If they are still active, still like that, landslides into the body. Rick live in london. Whats the latest with this volcano . Just today, thursday, officials in indonesia are raising the threat level from this volcano which is already done so much damage to this portion of indonesia. They are raising it to the second highest out of four levels. That means that folks that could move away from it, as well as the coastline, it means that another corruption could happen. The volcano continues to spew out lava, smoke, and ash. Flights have been diverted from the area. They are also confirming that it was an underwater landslide, triggered by the eruption that happened the last saturday night that created the tsunami wave. 429 dead, 1500 injured, 160 missing. More than 20,000 homeless. The theory is that we could see this again. Rick you know firsthand what a tsunami can do to a coastline and how difficult it is to recover. Yet, really bad stuff. Ourselves and others have covered two earthquakes in indonesia and the tsunami. It is horrendous there. This area has been hit so hard by these natural disasters. Conditions very now, making recovery even more difficult. Heavy rain and flooding. Preventing people from getting into some areas, setting up. The latest such we are getting, six villages remain isolated. They havent even reached theirs. The full impact of this disaster still not known. The state of emergency remains in effect through next week. Russians are already being asked. Why there wasnt a warning. There is also reports that the buoy system in the water that could give some warning of a tsunami wave has been out of function for several years now because of a lack of funding. Rick hopefully there is a warning next time. If there is a next time. Heather some Stormy Weather to talk about, live updates from the extreme weather center. It rick and neither side budging as the Government Shutdown enters it sixday. Who wins in this still made . Our pen always and just ahead. You are ignoring the data. It has worked 100 of the time, so if this works, what price do you put Public Safety . Its time for our lowest prices of the season on the new sleep number 360 smart bed. It senses your movement and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. And now, the queen sleep number 360 c4 smart bed is only 1299. Plus, 24month financing on all beds. Ends new years day. Heather will come back. White house considering a ban on some communication equipment made in china, possibly as early as january. Reporting that President Trump is awaiting an executive order to declare a National Emergency for u. S. Companies, forbidding them from using key Network Components made up by huawei and cte. Their equipment could be used to spy on americans. Both companies have denied the allegations. They all know your need for Border Security, the wall, or whatever you want to call it. In order to secure our borders, which these people know more about than anybody. They can tell you, they need a wall. Someone who was calling the shots is nancy pelosi. Rick day six of the shutdown. Which side is winning the optics battle . Lets talk to people who know. Former advisor to president bill clinton. Also a fox news contributor. Welcome to you both. Rachel, ladies first. It seems like both sides are suffering. Both sides of suffering, but what is interesting to me, what is being lost in all of this is the deal that could possibly be made. The group the democrats have claimed to be supporting and fighting for for so long. In fact, if you remember, last year, around this time, representative gutierrez said i will build that wall if you help me get this deal. Why arent the democrats doing it . It is very interesting that. Even the hispanic activist groups that claim to represent them arent putting pressure on the democrats. I can tell you why. Then democrats believe and i think there is some evidence to support, that they have leverage now. And they believe that they can win the fight, not build the wall. You heard the president of backing of the wall. Whatever you want to call it. Rick that is every clarification. It is back off because he had been talking about a wall built by mexico. Now it is a wall built by us, or a fence. Rick democrats who supported a barrier sometime in the past, now they say that they dont support it at all. Well, that was then, this is now. And frankly with democratic control of the house, there is not going to be a wall. There is no real support for a wall. Speak out never was. They use to you say are for Border Security actually, they never really invented. They voted for it in 2013. It is the party of alexandria ocasiocortez. No, it isnt. You are an outlier in the party. No, im not. The party belongs to the progressive wings, and nancy pelosi is playing to them. She cares more about that. No impeachment, nancy pelosi has been responsible. Rick well, lets talk about this new democratic house. The wall street journal said today that this shutdown could ruin their introduction. A more obstructionism, hyper partisanship, and political gains. Well, i think that is what the wall street journal says, but with President Trump at about a 4042 approval, having lost 40 seats largely in states that he wanted 2016 that he needs in 2020, the democrats have calculated that this is a five day can and will win. They also thought that they were going to win on brett kavanaugh. They are not as afraid of the shutdown as they used to be because they see that government continue to operate. It is not as big of a threat as they use to think it was, so now they will look at this and say who really cares about americas security . Who really cares about the Daca Recipients . I think this is a miscalculatio miscalculation. Ritual, if i can get a word in, i both think that we would agree that it would be good for our colleagues in washington to hear that if we did a deal, if we resurrected daca for a wall, i would be for it, you would be for it. Rick the pressure builds. There is pressure on congress too. Hundreds of thousands of federal employees who need to their voters and their families, this is something that is going to hurt American People over time. You are absolutely right. If the answer for the president is to do an oval office the president needs to make the case to the American People. I dont think doing it on twitter is enough. He actually needs to use the office of the presidency to make this. And say what . Explain why it is so important. He needs to really position where they are at. There needs to be we can have Border Security without a while. Oh, come on. Its not going to happen. Do you have sensors around your house . Do you agree that fences work. I can tell you there will be a political price to pay for that. My husband and i were in walmart and he stopped every few feet, people saying keep fighting for the wall. Rick we have to leave it there. Democrats dont shop at sams club . Yes, they do. Ive got my car. Rick heather, i think you need to take over. Thank you all. Near time start drawing some criticism, go figure, for a near report about president rouhani. Howie kurtz weighs in on that. Rick snow and ran across the country. The latest forecast coming at. Not much of the commute. It was really seven. A real wet snow. Small little snowballs, just floating down. Heather fox news alert for you. Stocks down triple digits right now. For a 3484 as it continues to move back and forth. Shooting up more than 1,000 points for an alltime record point gain. So its going to happen, reckitt . Up or down . Rick i dont know. The New York Times under fire for their article. As a favor to the trump family. Some critics say the report relied too much on uncorroborated allegations. Lets bring in howard kurtz, host of media buzz. This is a remarkable story. The lack of evidence. The doctor has been dead for a decade, so we cant ask him. Rick one of them said in the article did he examine him . I dont know. Not only that, but the implication was that trump didnt have bone spurs. At times itself, it refers to us possible explanation. I know that you wrote this down as well. No paper evidence has been found to corroborate this version of events, so how did it land on the front page . They wanted to read the article, i guess. If this was a court case, it would be tossed out in the first 5 minutes. And i think it should have been tossed out by the editors. Is it intriguing . Yes. You just two daughters. The fact is it shows you that there is a different standard when it comes to reporting on donald trump. 1968, it is certainly possible that donald trump dodged the vietnam draft with medical claims because thousands of more affluent kids did the same. Does this story prove that . No. It kind of they dont have it. It is essentially speculation. Rick i want to read a quote from the article. Their father left no medical record with the family. He purchased his practice, he was unaware of any documents related to mr. Trump. Mr. Trump said that they provided a very strong letter about the bone spurs in his heels, which he then presented. He could not remember the doctors name. You are talking a lot of years ago. This happened a long time ago. There is no doctor that they could find. These two daughters who spoke to the times are democrats and are not fans of President Trump. Im not saying they are making it up. I am saying that they dont kno know. You know, they are used to be ive been an Investigative Reporter for years. There are times when you smell a story. You think its true, but you cant quite prove it. You have to wait until you have that piece of paper, the firsthand evidence. Maybe the paper wanted it to be true, but it simply hasnt been proven. Rick that was my next question about standards and whether they have changed. Why they have changed. I think that there is such a Business Model now for major news organizations to be opposed to this president that it is not just the New York Times. Might not have ten years ago, or if it was a different president , whose initials were not djt. There are a lot of problems. Stock market is shut down, a lot of criticism. So the timing of this, it suggests to me that standards have become way too flexible. I dont want to say that this is because they are opposed to donald trump. It does not meet courtroom standard for newsroom standard. That position has been abolished. It is not necessary anymore. But they use to print all kinds of questions on the back page. This is the kind of thing where it is like they did say these things, but interesting point about the public editor. It was created after a story that i wrote more than a year ago about jason blair. Now, they say we dont need a person checking up on us. Rick they havent set publicly yet, weighed in on the criticism . I have thinned there were so many weaknesses in the story. So many this is a version of events, but there is no record. It makes you wonder why but whether it can never be proven, we dont know. Rick thank you very much for your insight. Heather right now, we are going to talk about some extreme weather you need to know about. Nightmare scenario for travelers heading home after the holidays. Major winter storm that is dumping snow all across the midwest. He has been very busy, tracking the storm from our fox news weather center. Whats the latest . This continues to be a major winter storm. It will be sticking with us for at least a couple of days. It is a large system. You are seeing heavy downpours of rain stretching as far down south of the gulf of mexico. Backside, that is where the temperatures are close enough that it is turning this into winter system. That is going to continue. All that ran out in front of it, everything you are looking at here in the dark red color, those are blizzard warnings. You need visibility to get down under quarter of a mile. They will make that possible. Everything around us obviously, still in winter concern. All areas werent expecting this to be on the move. You can Pay Attention to this. It will linger here through the day on thursday and into early friday. Even as all of this rain continues, you still see that snow falling back behind it. This is not going to be if you live further east. It is just too warm. But as far as the amount of snow goes, fairly widespread. Getting up to 6810 inches. There will be a couple of places getting over a foot. It just becomes a rainmaker. We are looking at alabama, where this could cause some flooding. It is a major system. You will see this snowfall. Any time warm and cold air hit, that is when you start to see these backed down well below freezing. The same as the case on friday of this continues to move. Out in front of it, it is warm. If you are in new york city tomorrow, 57 degrees. It is way too warm for this to be snow for us. Heather it is so warm that you could wear shorts and a tshirt. Rick but bring an umbrella umbrella. Meteorologist janice dean that looks back at a wild weather year. Wrong in 2018 amid temperatures in the single digits. With the windchill, the feel like temperature was negative for. Its set the tone for what turned out to be a frigid, stormy winter. Down south, typically warm areas like tallahassee were hammered with dangerous freezing rain and covered in ice. Then, temperatures skyrocketed in late february, reaching the high 70s and setting new records in much of the north and the midwest. But what goes up must come down. Plunging temperatures led to a whopping four noreasters and marshall on. We had the hottest month of may in recorded history. West of baltimore was hit with pounding rain, leading to rushing floodwaters. As much as 8 inches of rain fell in just two hours. Tropical storm alberto unleashed deadly winds and rain on North Carolina and virginia. Minneapolis and cincinnati both near triple digit temperatures in july. While humanity made it feel well above 100 degrees. Extreme heat was partially to blame for sparking more than 150 simultaneous fires in oregon. Several huge, damaging dust storms rolled through and over arizona this summer, canceling flights and taking down power lines. Hurricane florence making landfall in North Carolina in september. The monster storm packing winds at 135 miles per hour. An estimated 13 13 billion in damage. The strongest on record in the florida panhandle. 150 miles per hour. Michael barreled the shore near mexico beach, causing thousands of deaths. Dry conditions at both ends of California Health feel a pair of massive wildfires. Quickly became the deadliest blaze. Heavy smoke also drifted over san francisco, one point, giving them the worst air quality in the world. Paralyzed of the north and south east along with the midwest. Conditions were so bad at a middle school in new jersey, hundreds of kids and teachers were ordered to spend the night. The midwesterners will remember thanksgiving 2018 as though one were white out conditions left them stranded. Sleet and freezing rain created a messy storm in the southeast in early december. Despite the recent surge of snow storms, forecasters expect above normal temperatures this winter. Three quarters of the country will likely have a mild season. They can plan for a much wetter winter than usual. A new york, janet beam, fox news. Heather fallout over video goes viral. Have you seen this . Like what happens. The school board is now threatening to do something about it. Rick plus, decorated greenbrae, what his father is nothing about this troubling case. Hi im joan lunden. Todays Senior Living communities have never been better, with amazing amenities like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros even pet care services. And theres never been an easier way to get great advice. A place for mom is a free service that pairs you with a local advisor to help you sort through your options and find a perfect place.

Rick Michael Flynn asking a judge to let him travel to rhode island where he has a home ahead of his sentencing. They put in a request about a week before, requesting him to the greater d. C. Area until his final hearing. When he pled guilty last year to you lying to fbi agents, posed to sentencing. You willingly offered up these details. Right. At the cia. Because that is where it all started. Pretty much. Heather that was former decorated greenbrae being forthcoming with bret baier. With an incident during his 2010 deployment, where he killed televangelist detainee and a bomb maker. He has now been charged with murder. President trump has gotten involved, thing that he would review the case. Jerry goldstein joins us now. He welcomes the present. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Heather so this is coming after eight years, to investigation, and the intervention of all congressmen. Why is a circling background, and how do you feel about it . I tell you what, it is a very stressful situation. He has gone through abortive inquiry, and it was found that he was cleared of all charges. Wife keeps on coming back is something that is very distressing because the army is pushing this thing forward. And at this point in time, we are not confident at all that this process will provide justice. Heather lets take a look at the tweet that the president sent out. At the request of many, people are very upset about this. I will be reviewing the case. The u. S. Military hero, matt goldstein, charged with murder. He could face the Death Penalty from our own government after he admitted to killing a terrorist bomb maker while overseas. Does that make you feel anymore confident that the president is claiming that he is willing to get involved . We would welcome his involvement with open arms. The situation that i just mentioned, we are not confident that the military will do the right thing. They have not stepped forward. We would love to have President Trump get involved in this matter. I think he is the only one with the courage and the understanding of what the military does for our country. We know that he would do the right thing. Heather also the problem here, i was listening to Lieutenant Colonel Michael Balls talk. He was on hannity. He said that the problem is the rules of engagement. There is no prison system. Thats correct. The rules of engagement are really the issue. This is something that the army put together so they should have responsibility for those action actions. During the board of inquiry, there was a nato expert on the rules of engagement. And it was well within the rights of the rules of engagement. No charges should be filed. Heather you are doing what you can to get the word out, to help your son, your wife was on fox friends. Lets listen to what she had to say. My message is that he was cleared of wrongdoing in 2015. We have moved on with our lives. We have moved, we have had a new baby, we have moved on. We have waited for someone to do the right thing. It is time for someone in Army Leadership to crawl out from the blankets of anonymity, under which they hide, and to take responsibility for this, stefan, do the right thing. Heather matthews wife, julie, with the same sentiments that you expressed. They need to do the right thing. How is matthew doing . To be honest with you, he is sad. He has served in the military with distinction, and he has baggage the chain of command not to force corruption. Going to be exposed through this process. He is very sad because he loves the military. Heather i cant imagine being a father, knowing that your son, serving your hundred, doing his job, potentially facing the Death Penalty now. Its very difficult because over the past 1516 years, he has served his country faithfully and with honor. He is a man of great character, integrity. You talk with any of the soldiers that have worked with him, you hear nothing negative. Everything is positive. It is very sad that he can survive 15 years of war, come back in one piece, and then have a chain of commands that is not supporting him and willing to sentence him to death. Heather a decorated war hero. Your son was a decorated war hero, and now this is happening. Do you think if politics is involved in this . All, let me think about that a second. Absolutely. Not a question. What he did was proven that it was not wrongful doing. He was cleared of that. Yet the problem persists. It is definitely political. Heather refused to talk to investigators. The suspect would have targeted afghans who were helping u. S. Soldiers. Thank you so much for joining us. We appreciated, and our prayers are with you and your family. We will continue to follow it. Thank you very much. Rick present trip to mike trump who will replace the strong promilitary boys on capitol hill . Heather jerry brown announcing a new venture. What is he up to . The answer is i i had heather and Emergency School Board Meeting was held yesterday in new jersey. This incident that went viral over the weekend. Did you see it . A High School Wrestler was forced to choose between cutting his hair or forfeiting his match by the referee. This has for so much outrage that the new Jersey School district has refused to compete in any events officiated by the referee who gave the student that ultimatum. I couldnt believe that this pig would humiliate that kid on the mat, but i know that there are rules and regulations that he had to follow. Whether he follows them correctly or not, i dont really care. He does not belong and that wrestling association at the scholastic level. Heather 16yearold Andrew Johnson did go on to win that match. Thats the good news. He will not be attending the teams next scheduled mass, though. It is still not known at this time why he wont be attending that one. Rick stopping them from making him do that. California has a new plan to fight Climate Change from outer space. Jerry brown says that the state will be launching a satellite to track it Greenhouse Gas emissions. We are live with this story today. Well, california and that Trump Administration continue to haggle over global warming, jerry brown is taking matters into his own hands, announcing an eye am in the sky program to seek out sources of pollution. We want to know what the hell is going on, so we are going to launch our own satellite to figure out where the pollution is and how we are going to end it. The governor is making a calculation that this is a longterm problem. 20 or 30 years people will be thinking to my thanking him for what he did. It will help seal his legacy as an environmental activist, but the whole idea might sound like deja vu. In the 1970s, during his first term, jerry brown the proposed communication satellites you link state leaders in the event of an emergency. The idea was so out there that it helped earn him the title governor moonbeam. Supporters say it is fitting that brown, now 80 years old is owning the name name he got in his 30s. The satellite you will be to bookmark. The only unknown is what it will be called. All of those details are still being worked out, but the plan is for a private company to build build a solid, launches into space by 2021, with dated being available by 2022.

Heather fox news alert. We are a winning reaction on capitol hill on day six of the partial Government Shutdown. I am heather, and for sandra smith. Rick youve got another hour and you . Heather yeah, i do. Rick lets get to it. No votes are expected on this topic until President Trump antidemocratic leaders have a deal on government spending, and that appears unlikely with both sides digging in over the border wall issue. Do whatever it takes. I mean, we are going to have a wall pure luck, the American Public is demanding a wall. I think they are under a lot of pressure. The problem is we need ten democratic votes. The house is 100 . Nancy said we will never get the votes in the house. Not only did we get them, we got them by a lot. Rick live at the white house with more on this. President trump is not backing away from his demands for some sort of physical barrier. Democrats say they are not entirely clear on what President Trump wants. Is it a concrete wall . Beaded curtain in the words of nancy pelosi. They say that they should be where the president is. It shouldnt be hard to get to where the president wants to be. Democrats voted for 25 billion for Border Security earlier this year. In 2006, obama voted for Border Security. It is not as if this is a foreign concept. We are continuing resolutions, our negotiations into the new year. The president signed off on that, then he changed his mind after he heard the reaction on certain networks. They previously wanted 5 billion, and some sort of wall, but Mick Mulvaney say that they gave democrats a counter offer. More than the 1. 3 democrats are said to be offering. We have a problem with the democrats because nancy pelosi is calling the shots. Not chuck. Chuck wants to have this done. I really believe that. But she is calling the shots. The president says he does not care what you call that, a wall or a barrier, he needs funding for some sort of physical barrier at the southern border, and he says that he does not believe and it does not intend to see the government opening until he has money for that barrier. Rick allison, thank you. We have more on this now with chris stirewalt. Good to see you. Good morning, rick. How are you . Rick great. I am wondering about the semantics. What is the point there . It has become an issue because the two Political Parties in our country have decided that voters are either so gullible or so cynical that they will do this. It is really about every voter should feel that their intelligence is being insulted by what is going on in washington right now. It is truly appalling. But you have a compromise, an obvious compromise. 3. 3 billion is exactly between the two sides request. Semantics about whether it is all wall, spiky fence, it is all immaterial because it is all money for the same thing. Border security. No one is going to build a wall from sea to shining sea. No one is going to have open and borders. Is it this much for this much . Obviously People Choose and all that is between those things and move on to more important issues. That is why this is such an unworthy rick this is the first time that i have heard it called the spiky fence. There has been no movement at all, no back channel negotiations, nothing. So we are not getting a deal today or probably sometime in the new year. Mitch mcconnell have made it very clear there will be no more willing around fooling arl president donald j. Trump and nancy pelosi have come to terms. Until they have agreed on something, no more. Chuck schumer needs nancy pelosi. Im not going to keep negotiating with myself. I will not do something about the president will not sign, now if you are closely, you are going to take over speaker, you have the ability to start passing legislation and putting the pressure back on the senate and white house. For her, leaving that Government Shutdown until she takes over, that sounds pretty good. If you are a republican in the house, what you see are the final grains of sand going through. You have a chance to get a better deal. You know that your negotiating position is going to get worse in the coming year. Rick who gain strength as the strings on . New democratic white house. This is the first thing that happens. Hundreds of people and getting paid. Does the public blame them for not being willing to negotiate with the president . Think about it. If you are nancy pelosi, this is the best thing that you could have because her first problems was going to be divided conference. Democratic socialist, new members fighting with all members. All of the stuff that was going to be the opening act. She will have a united party that says we are here to fight donald trump. That helps her out an arm asleep. Now if it goes beyond that, if we Start Talking about a shutdown of multiple weeks, which will eventually happen is public sentiment will turn so hard against both parties, and the pressure will come down so hard, that the motivation to get rid of this absolutely phony disagreement will be unbearable. Rick who will win the showdown . He writes of democrats were wise, they would offer some wall funding in return for something more popular, like a path to citizenship for illegal aliens brought to the uss children, who that way he would get some of his wall funding, americans might sense that washington is stumbling into a compromise the country needs an. How does that sound . I think stumbling is the right word, but i also think that karl rove is wholly right. You remember the daca deal . All of this Border Security funding, but it would also be permanent legal status and a pathway to citizenship for people who were brought to the u. S. Illegally as minors. It was a good deal for both sides. If democrats were smart, they would bring a right back. How about this . It would show them willing to bargain, not radical on the issue. I dont know if they have the strength and support to do it. That might be too far of a reach for pelosi or schumer, who has five or six members of his conference running for president. Strongly opposed to donald trump. Every molecule of his existence, he might not be able to get the votes. It would be technically a very smart thing to do. Rick the president has been hammering away at the points that may be dumb like many of these democrats have supported a wall funding. Security in the past. It is hard to deny that. No, of course. Obviously a bipartisan consensus is a longstanding thing. That is not a new thing. By the way, what makes this so silly, what makes what we are doing so silly is that the republicans say you can build it, and democrats that you have to call it a fence. It is so goofy. It tells you how broken our current political system is that you end up in a place where made up words count more than money. Really congresses job more than anything else is to spend money. Levy taxes and spend money, and here we are with the Government Shutdown over a difference that is for 100 of a point. Give me a break. Rick it is just remarkable to me that they would argue this. Theres not going to be a fence, not going to be wall. They have seen the 90 drop. The people who are there to protect the border states we need a barrier of some kind. We need it. Well, when did common sense ever get in the way of electioneering and politics . Those two things generally dont live in the same zip code. We are keeping an eye on it. And so are you, chris stirewalt. Heather and necessary then, why is it necessary now . Testing the hypersonic letter. Vladimir putin declaring it is a success, saying that the Missile System is impossible to intercept. Senior Foreign Affairs correspondent has more from the lawn in italy. Hi, heather. Vladimir putin really has been stepping up the showcasing of these new hightech weapons as of late. He has also been accusing the United States of starting a new arms race with its decision to ditch the ins Nuclear Forces treaty. Frankly, a lot of people are saying the very same of him, that putin himself is provoking some sort of arms race. It has had a positive test yesterday. Putin says it will secure their security. Hypersonic muscle, 20 times the speed of sound, he says nobody else has it. Already by next year, it will be diploid. It will be joined by a regiment, which will be put on duty. This muscle defense system. Promising a military arm system for the army and the navy. It is a wonderful, excellent new years gift to the nation. Heather it was one of the few expensive weapons. Mostly just displayed in animation, but now bit by bit, they are rolling them out. The u. S. Is pulling out of the treaty, saying that russia is in violation of it. New start is up for renewal in 2021. It is a treaty that limits both sides nuclear arsenals. Heather amy kellogg come alive for us. Thank you. Rick did you hear about this . An inmate escaped one of americas most notorious prison prisons. Heather pulling all u. S. Troops from syria. Some asking which g. O. P. Lawmakers are really qualified to speak up on behalf of the nations military. I made it clear from the beginning that our mission in syria was to strip isis of its military strongholds. To keep you both comfortable. And now, the queen sleep number 360 c4 smart bed is only 1299. Plus, 24month financing on all beds. Ends new years day. Rick manhunt is underway for an inmate who apparently walked away from one of americas most notorious prison prisons. Officials at san quentin in california say that they discovered Shalom Mendoza was missing during a head count last night. He may have committed a nearby carjacking. He is the guy with a dirty money tattoo over his right eyebrow. Maybe look for that. Heather that had to hurt. Rick he was serving five years for using a Deadly Weapon during a carjacking. How do you do that . Heather i dont know. The men and women have played a vital role in the military defeat of isis in iraq and in syria. Because of these gains, our Service Members and syria can now return home to their families. Some will come here. Or say. But a lot of them are going to be going back home. They want to be with their families. They have done a fantastic job. Heather President Trump defending his controversial decision to pull all u. S. Troops out of syria. The move has angered some lawmakers in his own party, but the hill reports it also shows that republicans miss the late senator, john mccain. For more on this, lets bring in fox news contributor, hoffman. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. Do you agree with that sentiment, that we must john mccain . I think john mccain was unique. I dont think there is anyone who could match his level of experience and gravitas and moral authority, but i think it is also important for us to invoke his memory as we seek to tackle the hardest National Security challenges that we face today. Heather we have seen different members of Congress Stepping out. One of those being Lindsey Graham. Take a look at the tweet that he sent out. Do you think Lindsey Graham is someone who could step into that role . I think certainly he was extraordinary close to the late senator. I think that he might be the most effective at invoking the late senator mccains memory. And really, now with the time to do it, we have seen senator graham expressed some difference of opinion with the president about whether our troops should remain in syria. As well as the late charles, it was about forward defense, deploying our military, overseas when necessary. Risking spilling blood and treasure only when there was a strategic necessity to do so. I think senator mccain would have argued that the presence of my stomach isis, it would call o remain in some form. Heather would that be more of a globalist and National Security strategy, which would then be the opposite of what we have heard President Trump was speaking about there with the troops in iraq . Going, get the job done, then im going to bring you home. I think the two sides could meet halfway. The United States has effectively leveraged our ally is and let our allies we havent outsourced our security to others, but we have let others, with small contentions, deployed troops, intelligence officers. And i think that is where if senator mccain were alive today, he might have found some Common Ground with the president. I think it is a spectrum of the global policeman on the one hand, then completely removing our resources on the other hand. Then somewhere in the middle where they might have found Common Ground. Their meetings with the president. Heather when do you make that call . In an earlier report, we had reporters talking about it. Isis and syria now controlling less than 1 of the territory it once held. So why stay at this point . I understand it is a lesson that we have learned from the past. We dont want to make the same mistakes that president obama made, but will that call always be there . Yeah, im going to be a little bit presumptuous here, remembering how senator mccain handled issues like this. I think he would say that as long as syria is a field stage petri dish growing with the threats to say in our homeland, we need to stay at least in some form. Of those 2,000 troops, we lost four in the last two years. Two in combat, to a noncombat. That is a high price to pay, but is that enough of a price to pa pay . Continued attacks on isis, which i think are still necessary. It is a good debate worth having, heather. Heather we could use the least special forces troops. Leaving all of those in place. We could use them. I think the question is whether our departure from syria will put our kurdish allies at some risk. Remember, they have been the ones out front, battling away with isis, and inflicting the most damage. Without us there to train and assist, we may lose some of that. I think there is a debate there. What i really believe is that there is probably no better time for the commanderinchief to deliver then after he visits the front. Maybe we will see the president to make a policy speech similar to the one that he made on afghanistan where he outlines our strategy, Going Forward to the American People. Heather perhaps when he announces the new secretary of defense which is yet to come. Thank you so much, dan. We appreciated.

Shot and killed an officer late tuesday night. Ground and air units are searching for him. Surveillance photos that were taken at a Convenience Store shortly before the attack. Look at this 33yearold, gone to downing during a traffic stop. He leaves behind a wife and infant son. Rick fox news alert now. Quick look at the board, with all three major indexes . Heather indices. Rick yesterday, the dow posted its single biggest gain, climbing more than 1,000 points after locking its worst Christmas Eve ever. It has been up and down. Up and down. Heather heather typical roller coaster. They go up and down. I know that you were gloating that he predicted properly yesterday, right . Rick yes, i did say that it was up 1,000 points. It was just a random number. You were right. I was on the New York Stock Exchange floor yesterday after we spoke. They had no idea what was the catalyst for that massive increase throughout the day. Retail sales, the fact that jay powells job is 100 safe . Is it the fact that 2019 may not be so bad. Dumb i . May pause in terms of Interest Rate hikes. Tightening as well. There might be a little bit of a pause. Honestly, so many different guys on the floor yesterday. They had all different answers. Rick it could have just been people looking for bargains. What changed . It is funny. You see people looking for bargains, but you can call that suckers rally. Now look at the markets. Many people could have lost that. They are not well leveraged. Retail investors, not seasoned, but the reason that we are seeing some of that, there is some instability coming out of china. Industrial profits have decreased for the first time in three years. Thats a big deal. You have a large economy like that. Continue to show weakness. That is going to have a trickle effect across the globe. Then you have the fact that the present today possibly put forward an executive order in declaring a National Emergency when it comes to huawei, a Chinese Technology giant. That is just adding to the attention. Rick youre giving me a lot to think about. That is what i should do, right . Rick the bigger picture, we were all flying high on the dell for a while they know. We gave a lot back. I guess the question is is it going to creep back up . Back to 25,000 and beyond . That is all one day affair. That is not a trend. If anything, volatility has increased quite a bit just over the last month or so. That is because there are concerns going into 2019. You can see rally at the beginning of january. Earnings are coming out, people are optimistic, rebalancing their portfolios, but overall, the growth is expected to slow down. Maybe not completely decreased, but slow down for a lot of these corporate earnings. That will play a role in the markets. Like you said, they go up and down. Rick 401 k is still pouring money into that market, so they have to buy something. Speak up but then they go to safer bets. They are going after government bonds. Gold is higher. You are seeing silver higher, or just rebalancing the portfolio, they provided dividends. So it is a safer bet, versus lets say highflying tech stock. It like facebook. That has plummeted 40 . Now it could maybe go to it is a battered company at the moment. Rick it is going to be a big year for the fox business network. I hope you are right. Now, i know you are right. Rick keep watching those numbers, heather. Heather the department of Homeland Security calling for changes on the border after the second child dies in rick plus, slamming President Trump, accusing him of turning his surprise visit with troops in iraq into a Campaign Rally. So we are not the suckers of the world. We are no longer the suckers of the world. People are looking at us as suckers. And i love you folks because most of you are nodding your head. We are respected again as a nation. Rick fox news alert on the crisis at the border. New Health Assessments of every child in u. S. Detention after the second death this month of a migrant child in u. S. Custody. We have more life from our west coast bureau. What do you know about this . Homeland security knows that they have a problem after the death of those two children in their custody. Yesterday, Kristen Nielsen ordered a review of the screening procedures. More emts to remote border areas where acute care is hours away. A medical exam for every child currently in custody. And cdc will now investigate why so many are arriving at Central American State Hospital care. Finally, can i. C. E. Expedite transport . Not in detention any longer than necessary. What it is really about is supporting human trafficking, curbing the drug cartels. Its about slowing down the flow that is coming into this country illegally. But it is also about sending a message. They released 500 newly arrived immigrants. Despite the presence claimed i catch and release is over, it isnt. The Border Patrol is between a rock and a hard place, limiting detention time, yet there is no place to put people, so they go free. So do 150 million Central Americans. They have spent 810 days in cells. Now they have been released. What we are doing is to support them, giving them food, a place for them to stay at night. So despite this, close the border, only ports of entry for asylumseekers, separate families, nothing is working because of the stalemate in congress. Court challenges. Immigration, it is at a breaking point. Rick continues to come across the border. William, thank you. Heather followed from the president surprise visit to the troops in iraq. Among those blasting it, a former member of the obama National Security council. Samantha, now a cnn Foreign Policy analyst at tweeted this. Losing troops should not be confused with a Campaign Rally. Chairman, former hillary for American National committee member. Thank you guys for joining us. Thank you. Heather david, i will start with you. Is this just more fake outrage coming from the left . Russia and china are doing all they can to get ahead of us militarily and economically. And the democrats see Border Security as a social issue, not a National Security issue. And every comment that comes out of them is all about not keeping security where it should be. As far as this rally goes, if you look at the attendees or the accused rally, if you look at his visit, the troops are very excited that he was there. They want an agreement with him. We havent heard one comment coming out of those who visited with him who thought it was a Campaign Rally. So for most americans, they look at comments like this and say of course an Obama Administration official is going to Say Something critical of the president. They dont like him. But they know that National Security includes Border Security. Heather lets take a listen to one of the things that he talked about that apparently people had a problem with him not going to begin with, now have a problem that he was there and he talked about it. Listen. I want each and every one of you to know that we will always protect those who protect us. You protect us. We are always going to protect you. And you just saw that because you just got one of the biggest pay raises youve ever received, unless you dont want it. Does anybody here heather what is your take on that . Look, i think its great that he visited the troops, but just because someone worked for president obama, it doesnt mean he is not telling the truth. The clip that you just ran is a perfect example of it. He did not give a 10 raise to the troops, even though he said that he did. That is just disrespectful. He doesnt even know what americans americas policy is. Then he took credit for giving them a raise that he didnt give them. So it is just a disconnect between what is in his head and what is actually going on out there. I think its great that he visited them, but i wish he was a little bit more tuned to whats going on. Heather that is what we are talking about. All of those troops there in the middle of a war zone. The president president and thy show up. You can see how thankful they work. One of the other issues, that he signed these mega hats and things like that, that is against military policy. Hypocritical or out of touch to say that the president of the United States going to visit the troops is a bad thing. And to go back and look at speeches that president obama made or president clinton made, to suggest that something they have said could not have been accused of being a Campaign Rally speech, its kind of absurd. To make comments like that, and lets also say i am surprised that somebody hasnt come out on the democratic side and said oh, he should have stood on the right side. It no matter he does, it is the wrong move. Here is that is why the president was there. Heather at what point or do you think that there is a point where this type of behavior will start to backfire . From the presence critics . Thats a great question. I think it actually has backfired. Democrats tend to go overboard. If we stick to the troops, he didnt know what their compensation is, we do better with where he is standing or whether he knows protocol. He is a celebrity and the businessman, not a man of military protocol, so im not going to criticize him for that. Sometimes we go overboard, and it does backfire. Heather the former white house ethics chief, he went to twitter to shame and condemn the present for behavior that he considered it truly disgusting. At the base. He is certainly welcome to his opinion. Here is the story of the day. The the president s of troops and combat zone, and they were glad that he was there. Thats the story. Anything else is partisan sniping from the side from people who ultimately, all they want to do is be critical of this president and every move that he makes. This was a good move by the president. He should be commended for this, just as every president who has gone into a combat zone has done. That is the news of the day, not this heather talked about the shutdown, talked about the border wall. Those troops specifically how they would impact his move to move troops out of syria, but that is not exactly what we are hearing today. Thats fair. Any time a president visits troops abroad, its a Dangerous Mission to do it in the first place. Thats a wonderful thing to do to boost morale. Giving them a surprise on the night after christmas, thats a great thing that he did. I will not say that that is not true. There are still issues out there. You can do both things. Commend him and criticize him. Heather what about all of those folks who criticize him for not going to begin with . Then he is there, i understand the lights were out, but he made it there. No one knew about it. David, i will let you wrap us u up. If they were that disturbed, pass legislation says that he cant go visit in a combat zone, but the majority of democrats would agree with that. Heather thank you both for joining us. Rick indonesia is on high alert today, raising the volcano threat level, and widening nogo zone. Five days after volcanic activity triggered a tsunami. We have more on this. Greg. They are looking at officials in indonesia. New threat coming from the volcano that has already done so much damage in a region of the country. Officials raising the danger level to the second highest. That means that folks have to get away from the shore line a little bit, and that in fact it could do damage again through another eruption. Talking about the krakatoa volcano. It continues to dispense smoke and ash, more lava flows. Air flights have unlimited around the vicinity. Scientists also confirming that what happened saturday night was in fact an underwater landslide it, triggered by the eruption of volcano, which is then causing the tsunami wave, which according to officials, has killed 429, 1500 injured, 160 missing. 20,000 homeless. Could be more trouble. Release the mic relief efforts,e there, they have not been bridged. State of emergency remains in effect until next week. Back to you. Rick greg, thanks very much. Heather coming up, a College Student called 911 asking for help to stop or harass. Days later, shes killed. Could her death have been prevented . Thats up next. They didnt do anything, so the case thats extortion. I havent gotten an update. Its been a week. I wanted to stop. The thing is i didnt know how. Chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke to the point that i could quit. When you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. Serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking, or allergic and skin reactions which can be lifethreatening. Stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. Tell your Healthcare Provider if youve had depression or other Mental Health problems. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. The most common side effect is nausea. For me chantix worked. Boom. End of story. Talk to your doctor about chantix. Rick at 21yearold university of utah student called police to complain about a man harassing her just days before Officials Say she was shot and killed by that man, a convicted sex offender. Now authorities are trying to figure out what they could have done differently to save lauren. Criminal defense attorney. Bob, thanks for being with us. This is a tragic failure of assistance. She did what she is supposed to do, and then nothing. She did not only what she was supposed to do, more than she should be required to do. She made a multiple outreaches. She even outraged to the Salt Lake City police. They kept saying go back. I am really outraged by this. I had College Campuses in my jurisdiction. These women should not have to be repeatedly trying to seek help. It should be a one time call. They didnt even go personally interview her. I find this unbelievable. They missed several opportunities. There were issues raised about violence, but they didnt do anything about it. They are not trained to recognize or respond to interpersonal violence. Come on, this is crazy. The president indicates that no one is going to be called to task here because they could have done things differently. It didnt show that it could have actually prevented the murder. That is an outrageous comment, and she should be fired for it. Rick the university of utah officers said that they didnt know how to look up perl history or criminal backgrounds that they were investigating. This is a basic thing that you do. It is basic Domestic Violence 101. You look at the offender characteristics. He spent ten years in jail, so that had to be one heck of an offense. He violated parole on two occasions. Heres the thing. He is on parole. They dont need probable cause to arrest him. You could have called the parole officer, please go interview the sky, that murder would have been prevented. It is outrageous to me how tonedeaf the president and a director, they should be it is unacceptable. Rick we dont know what she knew about this guys past, but what we do know is after a month or so, she made the decision not to date him anymore. Thats when he tried to extort a thousand dollars from her over some pictures that he had gotten from her. Then she called for help. She called them multiple times. She tried to get them to intervene, went to selleck city police to try to step in. Is it true . They dont have jurisdiction on the college campus. They couldnt have done anything about this . This is the sticky thing. They would i am sorry to say, this is a fact. Refusing to report and properly investigate these cases because they dont want the school to seem unsafe, so they sweet things under the rug. Rick people want to know that their kids are safe. You pay all this money to send them to college, you want to know that if there is something that happening, that Campus Police will handle it. Thats right. Red flags were all over the place. I will add one more. There was a threat that he was going to bring a gun on campus, that the Housing Authority knew about. All of these dots were there. This girl should not have had to repeatedly call. She should have received a protective services. Rick it is a horrible situation. We will keep an eye on it. Thank you. Pleasure.

It should not be surprising that doctors are warning to be careful when snapping at that, or you might get wait for it sells the rest, a form of carpal tunnel. Heather Kim Kardashian warned us about this. She really did. Christmas coming twice for one lucky new yorker after it was announced that someone who purchased the winning powerball ticket, as someone who didnt win, me, Jacqui Heinrich as well, we both showed up for work today. I didnt. And thats fine. Weve got another chance. Someone in brooklyn, 290f . 3 million. The winning numbers were five, 25, 58, and let powerball was 24. It sold at the Arnold Service station in brooklyn. At that winner will be sharing the jackpot with uncle sam. Federal income tax, new york state actually has the highest state taxes. 8. 2 . Also milliondollar winners in florida, illinois, and wisconsi wisconsin. Now it is at a measly 40 million for saturday nights trying. There is hope for you yet. The Mega Millions drawing is tomorrow night. Because there wasnt a winner on christmas, the jackpot rolls over to 340 million. The cash option for that is more than 210 million. For trying your luck at penn station in new york city. Tell me why you are so certain. Usually i think about something you didnt wake up this morning and the sky look to different or Something Like that . No, it looks like i was the only one coming to work. So you definitely deserve this, then. Speak out i probably should. I will split it with everyone. Remember that huge 1. 6 billion Mega Millions jackpot . It is still unclaimed. No one has still come forward. If they dont claim that money, it will go back to you the state, so if you are rushing out this morning, remember that statistically you are more likely to be killed by a vending machine or have identical quadruplets. The odds are one in 302 million. Studies show that twothirds of americans play the lottery. Spending more than 200 a year on tickets, and last year, they actually manipulated the numbers, lessening the odds of winning, but allowing the jackpots to reach record highs. Heather more likely to be killed by a vending machine. Thats crazy. Rick more than 300 people are killed by vending machines every year. Heather apparently. Rick that will be tomorrow. Tomorrows news today. Heather what would you do, if you won, by the way . Rick i would keep working, obviously. Heather id be gone. Id be on a beach somewhere. My place to live, on the beach.
