And economic nationalism with senator ben sachs and the plot thickens between wikileaks founder julian assigns and conspiracy theorists jerome corsi. And jesse kelly, after a massive conservative outcry, the lefts strategy, thankful conservative voices. I am Shannon Bream in washington. A candidate who fully embraced the president got plenty of support from the commander in chief, peter doocy is live. They had a lot of momentum and even early returns coming in they were encouraging messages from the campaign but did not work, he wound up conceding to Cindy Hyde Smith earlier than scheduled and told supporters about it like this. A minute ago i did call cindy id smith Cindy Hyde Smith and i congratulated her on her victory tonight. She has my prayers she goes to washington to unite a very divided mississippi. Because of that call Cindy Hyde Smith took the stage sooner than she planned, she lost off and normally a speech like that you think supporters in the Hotel Ballroom but her speech was mostly saying things to donald trump for all the support, the rallies he did yesterday and the ride on air force one, she said shes going back to washington at 4 30 tomorrow to get back to work, she was appointed by Governor Phil Bryant when senator thad cochran left for health reasons. Now she was a lot the rest of his term. She told a group of reporters all the controversy and chaos did not make her less likely to want to run in 2020, she said mississippi voters know her and that is why they voted her and governor bryant when he was introducing her said he thinks all of the stories, all the bad press, all these honest moments when she was making jokes about public hanging or disenfranchising voters, he said all of that motivated republicans to go out and vote, they did not want the National Press to tell them how they were supposed to vote, the results tracked almost exactly with what the Hyde Smith Campaign was telling me all night. Peter doocy live in mississippi. Lets bring in chris tire walled. Good to see you. Lets talk about the fact that we talked about this on Election Night that not only the gop has a wider margin in the senate but some of the most antitrump voices who were republicans are gone. How does this shift the senate . Mitt romney is there. Ben sachs who you talked to not a push over. The president when it comes to appointments when talking about replacing the attorney general, susan collins, Lindsey Graham voiced serious concerns about a soft tack with saudi arabia for the murder of the journalist, he has to feed the bulldog. Does he have a more of a margin with judicial nominees . There is plenty of speculation when that might happen, plenty of Lower Court Federal Judges feeding through the system, tough for them having to worry about Sanders Collins and perkowski defending prochoice views, now he has a buffer. I dont want to take anything away from susan collins] did not prove too great an impediment in the past. It was not a joint stumbling block. I have every expectation in the new senates he will continue to get a lot of judges through and make the federal judiciary in a profound way. Something from president obama. He was a big voice and the mississippi race, did the recorded calls for mike espray, the president being, twice yesterday. Heres what president obama is saying tonight about the current political environment. Circuiting politics based on a nationalism that is not pride in country but hatred for somebody on the other side of the border and you start getting the kind of politics that does not allow for compromise. He got involved in the midterms more than president s we have seen in the past. Is out there. Might have worked in mississippi, republicans thinking about nominating chris mcdaniel. A state senator. He is way out there. If they nominated him i think mike espy would have won and Cindy Hyde Smith, moderate, former democrat, former state at commissioner. If you are a republican and cant win in mississippi you cant win. Republicans chose the better course. They won a seat, not by the margin they had hoped. But it is a win. The president won by 20 points. Astonishingly racially divided state. All the democrats, all the white voters are republicans and at 60 almost every election is 6040 republican and democrat so democrats can feel good that they have outperformed and when we go through the numbers, substantial plaque turnout, a win is a win and the expected outcome occurred and republicans can get on with life. That will be at some point resolved. Good to see you. General motors is not backing down, the president says there will be consequences, china Standing Firm at a meeting on trade and tariffs, the president says the us has the leverage going into that so this is turning into a test for Donald Trumps brand of economic nationalism. Kristin fisher, good morning. Donald trump going all in on his America FirstEconomic Strategy with tariffs and General Motors, threatening to cut federal subsidies for gm if the Company Moves forward with its plan to stop production of four plants and cut 15,000 jobs. Holiday season layoffs from gm, brutal. Very disappointing. Reporter Donald Trumps talk about Economic Advisor feels betrayed by the largest automaker in the united states. First the bailout in 2008, gm saved from bankruptcy by us taxpayers and the north american trade agreement the white house believes was a big boost for the us Auto Industry. The president said the us saved General Motors and this is the thanks we get . Chuck schumer called it a gut punch to American Workers in political states like ohio and michigan. Donald trump promised the people we wont lose one auto plant, worn, michigan, that is where one of the plants was. Jim explains the move is necessary to position the company for longterm success to maintain and grow american jobs adding many of the us workers impacted by these actions will have the opportunity to shift to other gm plants. The statement did not mention the Trump Administrations tariffs on chinese steel and aluminum but gm repeated the company was cost 1 billion this year. Donald trump is preparing to take his threat of even more tariffs in his trade war with china to the g 20 summit in argentina and go head to head with chinese president xi jinping. It will be the first time they have met since the trade war started and they would love to see a ceasefire between the worlds biggest economies, the top of the negative Economic Advisor said it is possible. Is open to that. He is open to that. But having said that, caveats as always, certain conditions have to be met with respect to fairness and reciprocity. If those conditions are not met the us is prepared to slap china with an additional 267 billion worth of tariffs on goods not already subject to existing tariffs and that could possibly include apple products. The collapse of Paul Manaforts plea deal thrusting him back into the spotlight, the president again calling Robert Muellers investigation a sony witchhunt waged by what he calls the gang of angry dems. On capitol Hill Jeff Flake wants to protect the mueller and force the Republican Leadership to bring a vote on their he will block the cornerstone of the Trump Presidency which is confirmation of conservative judges. Republican arizona senator jeff flake wants his colleagues to an ocular Donald Trumps interference. Flight committed the blessing of 100 senators to consider his bill to protect mueller, the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell blocked flake. Flake says he will try the same tactic again on wednesday. Better luck this time . I dont know. We will see. Mcconnell isnt concerned about muellers future, he doubts the president would fire the special counsel. This is a solution in search of a problem. The assessment on the floor tomorrow. I probably would. Flake wont back Donald Trumps judicial nominees unless his multiple gets a bill. The republicans gained senate seat in january but now barely 51 senate republicans, one defection by flake makes it harder to get nominees out of committee and confirm them on the floor. A key vote for flake comes as early as tomorrow with the perceived movement on trumps nominee for the federal bench in eastern north carolina. Judge thomas far has ruled uncontroversial voting laws, including Senate Minority leader chuck schumer. There is also an effort to velcro the mueller protection bill onto a measure to avoid a partial Government Shutdown next week over the president s border wall. I didnt know Robert Mueller needed protection. I do know the southern end of our country needs protection. Republicans are trying to get clarity about the stand he is taking on the special counsel. Shannon a key member of the Senate Judiciary committee looking at this issue regarding protecting the special counsel and confirming judicial nominees and keeping a close watch on white house trade policies. More from our top two stories, great to have you with us. Tomorrow you have a hearing on controversy and your gop colleague jeff flake says not voting on any judicial nominees until there is a vote on this measure to protect the special counsel and Mitch Mcconnell says it is in search of a problem, doesnt exist. With the president wont let him go. There are 3 big bucket issues, judicial nominees between now and the end of the year, judicial nominees that havent gone through committee and the special counsel issue. One of the things donald trump has done a phenomenal job on is great judges. In a coalition he put together in the 2016 election a bunch of people excited about Supreme Court nominees and judges he pledged to nominate and he has done that and on the judiciary committee, an alltime record at confirming Circuit Court judges, 31 pending judges on the for so senator flakes threat doesnt touch those 31 since we have a lot of votes. Then there are a bunch of judges, still trying to get through the judiciary committee, chairman grassley, the outgoing chairman will head over to finance, would like to move a lot and then theres the special counsel protection bill, bob muellers work is important and needs to be protected but i dont think there will be a vote on that piece of legislation. Theres just a lot on the calendar. Do you think you should be . It is not can skip through the house. One of the most valuable limited resources is Senate Floor Time so Mitch Mcconnell is willing to spend senate for time on something that smartphones become lighter wont be a vote in the house. Lets talk about gm closing the plants, 15,000 jobs in the mix, they say many of these people could be transferred to other plants if that is what they choose to do. The president not happy about taking subsidies from them but that would require congressional action to get that done. Gm got a 51 billion taxpayerfunded bailouts. Is it fair to say they have an obligation to the American Worker . Lets say those 15,000 families, this is a tragic week, a rough set of news for people to receive and so we want to grieve with those families. In addition the longterm competitiveness of the Auto Industry is done by can you build higherquality lower cost products that a lot of our competitors and their a bunch of inputs to that equation and the number one thing happening in the Automotive Industry is more and more technologys automating processes and over time you will probably build cars with fewer labor pods so theres a longterm trend in the Automotive Industry that we have to think about the future of labor stops. In addition the steel tariffs are not happening. I talked to Auto Industry insiders and executives in the last 2 or 3 days and clearly the steel tariffs have big negative consequences. What about the assertion that Interest Rates are going up that are hurting his ability to do things to help American Workers. I dont see that connection. The longterm pressures on Interest Rates are things like us overspending and the fact that we are not building toward balanced budgets over the long term so i think the fed is the wrong bed divers aggression. A couple awakening round things i want to get to. Jesse kelly says dont always agree with this guy. I think he despises me. You say the answer is not lesses but more. Twitter is a private company, not the government so the First Amendment is a prohibition on government restrictions on speech and religious liberty or association and yet the First Amendment is the beating heart of American Life and American Society and when you encounter people you dont agree with usually the right answer is to talk to them longer and try to persuade them and engage different kinds of arguments so right now when americans are encountering speech they dont like on College Campus and social media that like the first instinct is to shut people down. That is a bad trend in American Life. We need to embrace more vigorous debate. The Supreme Court is almost unanimously on the side of free speech and the First Amendment. The internet, has to do with millennials but i was disturbed and you would be too. Half of those surveyed believe the us is sexist and racist, one in 8 believe america was never a great country and never will be, 84 of americans cant enumerate the rights in the First Amendment. To the next generation, america has limited government, government is about coercion but the most interesting things are about neighborliness. And cities and towns where your viewers are living, washington dc is supposed to maintain a framework, freedom of the press, and protest. If the next generation doesnt know what the republic is in danger and we need better civics than we are doing. Thanks for your time. Americans longest war claim 3 more lives as the talent and takes response ability for roadside bombings that killed 3 us soldiers and injured 3 others. We will talk about that. What happens now when you look at the collapse of Paul Manaforts plea deal, what it means for the russia probe and breaking news on the connection to the probe. And stick around. It was a no. I switched to geico and saved hundreds. Thats a win. But its not the only reason i switched. The geico app makes it easy to manage my policy. I can pay my bill, add a new driver, or even file a claim. Woo, hey now thats a winwin. Thank you switch to geico®. Its a winwin. Shannon Paul Manafort is a a potential below, the former Trump Campaign chairman, a key witness for the special counsel investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia during the president ial election. Garrett tenney has the latest on Paul Manafort and jerome corsi dealing with him and wikileaks. Reporter prosecutors believe other jerome corsi tipped off roger stone months before wikileaks released thousands of emails stolen from Hillary Clintons campaign according to a document offered to jerome corsi obtained by the washington post, a friend plans two more dumb setting the impact of the release was planned to be very damaging, julian assigns in the Ecuadorian Embassy since 2012, corsi said he rejected the offer to plead guilty to a false statements charge, not only misled investigators but this is a political witch and. Because i did not have a contact with julian assigns assange but i possessed his emails, and told many people in august. Reporter Paul Manafort reportedly involved with julian assange. Going to the guarding he met with assange in 2013, 2015 and march 2016 just before he joined the Trump Campaign. Paul manafort says the full report is false, donald from weighing in, the mueller witchhunt is a total disgrace. Outgoing similar tweets, wait until it comes out how horribly and viciously they are treating people, ruining lives but refusing to lie. Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor. Is perfect very question the White House Briefing whether a pardon could be in the offing for manafort if he holds out. Im not aware with any conversations involving that. Rudy giuliani did not rule out the possibly of a pardon the power panel, deputy guy benson and tom dupree. Welcome to all of you. There is a document online that is supposed to be what theyre working on with the plea deal. It is not by name but would suggest wikileaks and julian assigns assange and other key players, he will not agree to this where do we go from here . I doubt that. He is a fabulous and he forgot about this until this came out. Where do we go from here, for similar to an indictment of him and stone which will take longer and going from corsi against stone. And the trial involving both. If these gentlemen are indicted, do you think they will get in trouble in substance, most of this is people who said something they lied to federal agents. It would be more process style. Mueller and his team are talking to people for a long time. When mueller people asked a lot of questions and you have to be precise. In the course of these interviews they said something the mueller team said they could use to get a plea to a false statement sergeant in many cases they dont go the substantive route and might be a difficult case to prove particularly to a false statement along those lines, wouldnt surprise me if it plays out here. Heather the headline is manafort plea deal represents setback for mueller, the decision to call him out is a liar, takes his testimony off the table, removing a valuable asset for the government, the mueller team saying he has been lying since the plea deal, so the sentence him, hes not cooperating with us but identifying him as a liar, takes it off of him as a witness against the president or the campaign. Definitely, if he is called in a trial all the defense has to say is the prosecution says he is a liar. He kept lying to them and put this other stuff in jeopardy. He is reckless and doesnt tell the truth, mueller and his team are not stupid people. They knew that. They are well aware and yet they move forward anyway with this public shaming blowing up this plea deal they reach with manafort. Fascinating few days involving a colorful cast of characters in this whole saga. Shannon a report that manafort met with julian assigns and that key points joining the Trump Campaign he flatly denies this and he says he never met him or anyone connected to him. He and wikileaks considering legal action against the guardian which published this story. What do you make of it . We will have to figure this out. Anybody who went in or out of the Ecuadorian Embassy you will know. There will be remarkable twists and turns to corsi and manafort over the past few days. Bottom line is it looks pretty solid the russian attempt to meddle in the election has come to american shores. It seems there is strong reason to believe that among these 3, they knew what was happening and did they speak to the president . We dont know but this seemed explosive. The guardian walked it back slightly. It is puzzling because it is so straightforward to prove it or not. The fact that manafort denies it doesnt count as much. He is a pretty dishonest fellow. Shannon he was unequivocal in his denial. We will see how that plays out. The New York Times report tonight that muellers legal team has been talking with manafort, and the does that strike you as unusual . I would not go so far as to say it is illegal, nothing in this saga has gone according to script. Manafort retains residual loyalty to the president and the Legal Advisers are interested in the questions mueller is asking manafort. I would be shocked if they dont open that line of inquiry but i might be careful how much information you share, trying to get a roadmap into what mueller knows or doesnt know, preparing for an interview with mueller if that were to occur. Shannon final words you. What im fascinated by, basically everything that was said is fascinating with manafort and i will leave it there because there are so many roads to go down i dont want to get us too up on heartbreak. There are endless possibilities. We will watch it with your help. Tensions between russia and ukraine escalating warning of a potential fullscale war and some suggest sending u. S. Navy to the conflict. Is that a good idea . And fearing for Children Safety. The people of tijuana are taking matters into their own hands, Trace Gallagher is on the case live next. Shannon Justice Department filing a motion tonight after asking a District Court judge to suspend restraining the Justice Department filing motion exiting the District Court judge to suspend restraining order against the president s no asylum policy and notifying the judge the Trump Administration is appealing the decision to the next level, the ninth circuit. Citing fears for their Children Safety residents of tijuana have closed down a school next to the sports arena where thousand Central American migrants are camped out. Trace gallagher following the latest tensions at the southern border. Reporter find site is 2020 but it now appears the decision for migrants to rush the border sunday to gain access to the us was a huge setback for the caravans cause. In a rare criticism of the migrants Mexicos National Human Rights Commission scolded them for not respecting mexican law. Than the tijuana mayor came out saying his city cant handle thousands of migrant and asked his government to offer solutions and now it appears many in tijuana believe the migrants pose a danger. Not only has security been greatly increased, a school next to the complex has been shut down. The Parents Association cited concern for their Children Safety to shut the gates putting up a sign saying the score main closed until further notice. One parent says this has been building for a while. Reporter it is not something that happened today. It didnt happen yesterday. It didnt happen this week. It happened the day they arrived was we had an altercation with them pushing the back door asking children for money. They wanted to use the restroom, spared from their situation but it affects us. Crews on the ground captured video, hundreds more arriving in tijuana and thousands of additional migrants are expected incoming days.

At home there are suggestions the us and the navy to the sea, the scene of the confrontation. Lets discuss it with fox news senior strategic analyst general jack kane. Great to have you with us. Lets talk about this is the ukrainian president said i dont want anyone to think this is fun and games, ukraine is under threat of fullscale war with russia, not to be taken lightly. Is facing an election in 2019 and may lose it. Im not suggesting he is overstating the situation but i dont think there is likelihood of war between russia and ukraine because russia does not want that. Their economy is struggling. Vladimir putins favorably the ratings are at the lowest since the war began. He has huge problems at home, people are getting tired of the drip of casualties, the war is in a different framework than it was when they seized crimea and his ratings went sky high. That mister trump criticized barack obama for tolerating the seizure of crimea but the russian is testing mister from, the americans should make clear such aggression will be met with more arms sales to ukraine and tougher sanctions on russia and watching for signs of weakness. I dont think we should meet with Vladimir Putin based on this and that is where putting the market down and saying we wont meet unless you release ships back to ukraine. Secondly, totally agree on sanctions and in concert with europeans. I would make an announcement very quickly. The white house has been considering for weeks, aid for the ukrainians. We have other tories to pass on to them. And think about going into the black sea with france and the uk and germany, not a lot of ships but a few ships to show the russians we will not be pushed around and the ukrainians political and moral will. Terrible news from afghanistan but a roadside bomb killed three Us Service Members, several others injured. Elizabeth warren tweeting 3 Us Service Members were killed in afghanistan, we grieve with their families and must ask. How many must die to realize the amount of us military power will fix afghanistan . We have been at war for 17 years, time to bring our troops home. The president has expressed a lot of worry about us being in afghanistan so what now . It is true. This is very frustrating. We squandered so many opportunities to turn this around. The bush administration, went to war in iraq, never put the full effort into generals and pull troops out. All that said the trump team, what they have, without stating that, what they are doing is upped the ante a little bit in terms of the number of troops to Train Afghan Forces but what they principally said is we will stay unconditionally. They are saying they want the taliban to recognize the resolve, and force the taliban to come to the table and discuss a political solution. That is their strategy. Whether that will work or not remains to be seen. The taliban has tremendous patience. It has been 17 years since they ran the country and they want to wait us out here.

The artist joining me now, the owners of rush and men with their lawyer, Alliance Defending freedom. Thank you for being with us tonight. I dont know which of you wants to take this but i want to ask have you been approached about a situation or couple that you felt you couldnt do the work for their wedding and if not why did you decide to challenge the law anyway . We decided to challenge the law because every day we want to create art consistent with who we are today we are facing potential jail time and fines and that was a huge risk that we could not take and we believe in the right of artists to create freely so we had to challenge this. Shannon i went to read something from the attorney representing phoenix, they want the court system to give them a blank check to refuse service to anyone with custom wedding products, in a way to distinguish between dissemination on the basis of Sexual Orientation based on other things like race or even religion. Where do i start . What needs to be pointed out is they make their decisions on what are to create based on the message, not the person and who the person is. That is a critical distinction. In terms of comparing this to racism or anything else that is a bankrupt analogy designed to shut down the debate and the Supreme Court recognized and rejected that analogy in the samesex marriage decision and Masterpiece Cake shops. It was decided this past summer. Let me ask you. The judge said there is part of the law that says you cannot make a statement saying you wont serve same sex couple. The Appellate Court ruling the judge said posting late was on a website telling customers a business will discriminate based on Sexual Orientation is part of the act of Sexual Orientation dissemination itself. This act is not protected by the First Amendment and although opponents are prohibited from this commentary statement about their intent, they may endorse their belief that marriage is between a man and a woman. You cant talk about not serving people but he does say you can talk about your belief in traditional marriage versus samesex marriage. Is that a problem . It does not. We serve all people. But that does not solve the problem. We are grateful the court recognized phoenix was wrong to pass a law that we cannot express beliefs about marriage but they need to do more and stand up for the rights of artists to create freely through their work. You argue this case at the Supreme Court. To ask questions where to draw the line. Where do you say someone has an artistic talent and be forced to serve someone . The First Amendment protects anything it has to protect the authors pen and the painters brush and that is what is at issue with breanna and joanna. The position is so extreme they are saying you can for someone to write a message that violates their core convictions. That is the heart of the First Amendment that they are violating. Shannon january 22nd is the date. Keep us uptodate. The world will be watching and we will see if the Supreme Court is wrong. Thank you all.
