Melissa im melissa francis. Negotiations back to square one after Chuck Schumer withdrew the offer to fund the president s border wall. Part of a deal proposed by senators lindsey graham, jeff flake and dick durbin which is white house turned down. Sarah sanders explains. The Flake Graham Durbin agreement doesnt meet the benchmarks. In short, it is totally unacceptable to the president and should be declared dead on arrival. Melissa now President Trump says without the wall there is no deal on daca. Peter doocy joining me from capitol hill. Peter, where do we go from here just weeks before the government runs out of money again . Melissa again theyre at an impasse. This time its because the democratic leadership is saying they wont give any money for a border wall during these negotiations and the president is saying if thats the case, then there wont be any new protections for Daca Recipients. Republican senator ron johnson just told us here in the hallway he thinks an immigration deal is further away now than lawmakers would like. We do need better barriers. They actually work. I visited israel. Their fence stopped illegal immigration. When put in the right places they work. The other elements were trying to keep it pretty simple. I dont think the diversity lottery makes sense whatsoever. We have a diverse nation and allow people into this country in a very diverse basis. Most republicans in the senate really arent talking about wrapping up daca negotiations until march which is when people brought here illegally as kids actually face deportation even though Chuck Schumer wants things done a month earlier in february when the threeweek long continuing resolution that he decided to support thus ending the Government Shutdown expires. Weve gotten a commitment from senator mcconnell but he made it not just to democrats but to a good chunk of his own caucus so that means a lot. And i think we have renewed momentum. There is still not much guidance about what house leaders would do if the Senate Passes a bipartisan immigration bill and then kicks it over to them. But the house isnt even in session right now. Lawmakers are home in their states in their districts while the negotiations, while the talks are starting to percolate here in the senate. So its tough to tell what exactly they would come up with here that could pass both chambers and get President Trumps signature. Melissa wow, all right. Peter, thank you. Jon the u. S. Launching an air strike last weekend reportedly killing more than 100 isis fighters. That strike targeting an area along the syrian iraq border. One of the last pockets of isis control. Lucas tomlinson joins us live from the pentagon with more. Its one of the largest air strikes against isis in the past year, the u. S. Military estimating it killed roughly 150 isis fighters in eastern syria. The massive air strike occurred while the u. S. Government was shut down saturday. Technically the pilots flew this one for free. Round the clock surveillance overhead and u. S. Backed fighters. U. S. Led coalition has launched 30,000 air strikes against isis since 2014. In a sign of how much the air war has slowed 10 wart hog jets slated for isis strikes from an air base in turkey were sent to afghanistan to provide closer support to u. S. Troops. In a statement the head of u. S. Special Operations Forces in iraq and syria says the fight to liberate syria is far from over. Our partners are still making progress daily and sacrifices and together were still finding, targeting and killing isis terrorists. Partnering with kurdish fighters has come at a cost with turkey who view the kurds as a terrorist threats and launched an assault. The u. S. Backed forces is majority arab that received strong support from the c. I. A. Director. The department of defense has done good work trying to bring the sunnis in alongside our kurdish partners there as well. I think theyve made Real Progress there. Secretary mattis says the roughly 2,000 u. S. Troops in syria will stay there until isis is ultimately defeated. Jon Lucas Tomlinson at the pentagon for us. Thank you.

Riverside county has received more than 120,000 dollars in donations to help the 13 siblings who are between the ages of 2 and 29 years old. Jon dramatic developments in the russia saga fueling gop claims of bias in Robert Muellers investigation. More Text Messages between f. B. I. Officials, peter strzok and lisa page, released yesterday as the f. B. I. Now admits it did not save five months worth of the couples messages due to a socalled Technical Glitch. That prompted concern from gop lawmakers about potential criminal misconduct. Here is senator ron johnson of wisconsin. Strzok and page were very high level within the f. B. I. Strzoks title was f. B. I. Deputy assistant director of the Counter Intelligence division. These arent lowlevel underlings. They had access to the highest level including the director of the f. B. I. Jon a congressman joins us now. You know a thing or two about conducting investigations. What would you like to know about those five months worth of missing Text Messages . I want the Text Messages. Thats clear. Were looking at a potential obstruction here. This is an out rage. I read today they want to talk to the president. My advice if i were the president s attorney is these guys this team is so prejudiced against you and we know what they did to flynn, they didnt have much to go on so they bankrupt him with attorneys fees, cost and threaten to go after his son. The best thing you can do is not talk to these people. We know what happened to Martha Stewart and Scooter Libby when they dont have a case, then they question you until they get you to Say Something inconsistent and then they prosecute you for false statements. Dont talk to them. This group needs to be barred and they need to be stopped and we certainly need a second prosecutor. There is no way the current d. O. J. Or current leadership in the f. B. I. , my gosh, if wray wont even fire mccabe there is no way they can investigate themselves. The whole apple is solid but there are worms that have eaten their way through the upper leadership. We need a housecleaning. Jon i want to read one of the Text Messages that passed between these two. He, of course, was very high up in the f. B. I. Investigation, personally took part in the questioning of Hillary Clinton when her investigation was underway. And then he writes to lisa page his mistress, he says you and i both know the odds are nothing. If i thought it was likely i would be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern there is no big there there. He seems to be alluding to participating in the Mueller Investigation and he wrote that text two days after mueller was appointed by rod rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney general. Yeah. And so obviously he knew there really wasnt any there there but when you start why would they be meeting off the agency area . Why would they have meetings away from the office . It says that they must have had something other than justice in mind because if it was real justice, they would have been meeting at the department of justice. These people need to be investigated. We know from the other texts, the other messages, the circumstances surrounding them that they could not be fair. That they wanted to keep trump from being elected and then an insurance policy to take him out if he was elected. And im telling you, this stinks to high heaven and this Time Congress cannot drop the ball. We did not enforce our contempt on eric holder when he when documents disappeared and he refused to produce them. We did not go after others, nobody paid a price for things disappearing. This is too serious. We have got to hold these people accountable and frankly back when congress was ear marking or line iteming. You would is zero off the offices not cooperating and then they cooperate. We need to get back to enforcing and overseeing and just zero line offices not doing their jobs. Im very concerned about wray if he will not even fire mccabe with all we know about mccabe. Jon the chairman of your House Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte was on in the last hour. Doing a good job. Jon he had this to say about his concerns about the way the investigation into the Hillary Clinton matter was handled versus the trump investigation. Lets listen now. Thats a clear indication that he cannot be impartial in that process because its only worth him doing it if there is something there. So that coupled with all of his involvement on the other side with regard to the clinton investigation, writing and changing the statement of the f. B. I. Director and his communications with miss page about that in earlier texts that weve seen raises the publics concern that you have two very, very different standards of treatment. Jon talking there about peter strzok and his involvement in both the russia investigation as well as the Hillary Clinton investigation. There does seem to be a double standard at least on his part. Yeah. Bob goodlatte is one of the most fair people you could ever run into. And i really believe under chairman goodlatte we are going to keep pushing until we get to the bottom of this. But corruption wherever it is found has to be rooted out and i hope and pray well reach a point where our democratic friends will say you know what . This really is bad. This is terrible. We have got to clean house now. We have got to get our f. B. I. And d. O. J. s house in order. It got too far out of order in the past and i hope theyll join us and quit playing politics. This is just too serious. This is how you lose a country when the department of justice becomes just us. Jon serious issues on the front burner. You are investigating it with your committee. Congressman, thank you. Melissa the former usa Gymnastics Team doctor who sexually assaulted Young Athletes is in court now as the judge prepares to sentence larry nasser. Plus. The c. I. A.

Jon right now Larry Nassers Sexual Assault victims are making final impact statements before the former usa Gymnastics Team doctor is sentenced today for molesting Young Athletes under guise of medical treatment. He pleaded guilty to Sexual Misconduct and faces a minimum prison term of 25 to 40 years. Melissa just in the c. I. A. Says kim jonguns Nuclear Weapons program is aimed at uniting the Korean Peninsula under north korean rule as the regime is months away from being able to mount a Nuclear Attack on the u. S. I talked last week about the fact that north korea is ever closer to being able to hold america at risk. Said it was a handful of months. I said the same thing several months before that. I want everyone to understand that we are working diligently to make sure that a year from now i can still tell you they are several months away from having that capacity. Its not a static time frame. There is much effort across the United States government to ensure that americans dont have to feel at risk. Melissa lets bring in retired four star general jack keane chairman of the institute for the study of war and fox news analyst. Thank you for joining us. What do you think of what you just heard . Weve heard it before but im really encouraged by the fact the director of the c. I. A. Is willing to go out there and sound the alarm bell like this because its clearly what he is doing. He is telling us within a few months north korea likely to reach full capability in terms of a nuclearized icbm, a threat unacceptable to us by virtue of our policy and i totally agree with that. I do think there are some things that we can do, melissa, and im encouraged by the fact that i think he made some news when he said he believes kim jongun is a rational actor. Melissa that stuck out to me as well. Everybody talks about him as a mad man. He is a rational actor and clear what he wants to do. He wants to unite the peninsula. Why is that meaningful . Because then we can have some impact on him. Here are some things i think we should be doing. If we are not hopefully we are conducting offensive cyberattack against kim jonguns capabilities, information systems, his command and control, his finance system, turn it into a paper operation, and his Energy Infrastructure there is a pipeline going from china into north korea, shut it down electronically. We have the capability to do that. Secondly, we should be executing the naval blockade now of north korea shutting the back door off to all the resupply action that we know is actually going on which is helping to sustain the regime. We should also bring troops into south korea to thicken the defense there and troops to other bases in the region. Why are we doing this . Because one, he is a rational actor. If you want to prevent a war, you want to show him that we are fully prepared to execute it. The other thing is why i dont understand this why are we still sending military families into south korea . Makes no sense. Turn it into an accompanied tour assignment like iraq and afghanistan is. We should plan and tell military families and americans we may have to evacuate you out of south korea because a potential conflict is obviously on the horizon. These are some of the things we can do and then we have to make sure the state department is shutting down all the other countries that are trading with north korea to include china. If we have to sanction china because theyre playing games with us, lets get on with it. Remember what pompeo said we are only months away. If we truly are months away, now is the time to pull out the stops to do what . To prevent a war. Melissa i want to highlight some of the things you said. Sometimes youre misheard on this. Youre saying we should pull out the families that go along with the military that replace there. Take away civilians that are there accompanying them something that were ready for battle. Let me focus on the blockade. What im saying we should not send any more families there and those that are there we should develop plans not nou, but develop plans to execute and evacuation of those as the drumbeat gets closer. We have several hundred thousand americans in south korea. As a drumbeat of war gets closer we may have to plan and give them a warning to leave the country. All of this actually tells the leader in north korea by taking these actions that our policy is real. It is not just rhetoric. It is not just words. Melissa you also the idea of a blockade. Recently we saw those photos of chinese tankers cooperating taking products whether its oil or coal out of north korea and then taking it to other places where it can be sold violating what theyve agreed to do. Would a blockade stop that and publication of the pictures that we know whats going on, is that letting them know that here is the ammo for us to set up a blockade . A blockade would stop it for sure. And we know how to do that effectively. Navy trains for such a thing. We blockaded the russians from resupplying the cubans during the cuban missile crisis and it ended that conflict. Critics of what im saying will say thats a provocation. A blockade is accepted in the International Community as an act of war. And therefore were inviting north korea, kim jongun to actually execute a war. Well, if you accept what pompeo said to us, then he is a rational actor, would he actually start a war over a naval blockade . I dont think so. Melissa general, thank you for coming on. We appreciate your time and insight, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Jon another world trouble spot to tell you about a deadly attack in afghanistan. Gunmen storming a Childrens Charity an eastern city. These guys arent seeing eyetoeye now. Why President Trump and Chuck Schumer cant seem to strike a deal about immigration. The wall deal is off the table. Oh, sorry im late, sir.

Melissa at least three People Killed in an attack today in eastern afghanistan after gunmen stormed a Childrens Charity and isis has claimed responsibility for this attack. David lee miller is live from our middle east bureau with more. Melissa, the attack at the save the Childrens Office in the city of jalalabad began with a car bombing. Then the attackers stormed the building. According to one report they were wearing military uniforms and armed with rocketpropelled grenades. After a daylong standoff two employees at the save the Children Office were killed and at least four of the attackers were dead. Some 25 people plus three Police Officers were wounded. 40 people were rescued. Isis, which has claimed responsibility, says it is specifically targeting, and i quote, brisht and Swedish Foundation and Afghan Government institutes. Save the children released a statement saying it is temporarily suspending all programs in afghanistan. It reads in part our humanitarian work in afghanistan reaches almost 1. 4 million children and we remain committed to resume our operations as quickly as possible as soon as we can be assured that it is safe to do so. Save the children has been doing aid work in that country for more than four decades. Now the attack this morning comes only days after a deadly assault by the taliban at the Intercontinental Hotel in afghanistans capital kabul. During that siege more than 40 people died. The state Department Says some of the victims were americans. According to a most recent report three of the dead reportedly had dual afghan american citizenship and lastly pakistani officials are now calling for what they call a credible investigation into the hotel bombing. This after a report surfaced that the attackers may have links to militants in pakistan. Melissa. Melissa thank you, david lee miller. Jon lawmakers and the white house are not exactly seeing eyetoeye on immigration matters these days as Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer retracts his offer to fully fund the president s wall. The president says if there is no wall, there is no deal to fix daca. Senator schumer doesnt have a leg to stand on on the issue. He misled the public where the negotiations were. The dhs did a study what we needed to fund the border wall, 18 billion. He comes here with a phony plan, a fake promise and not even appropriation, but an authorization of less than 1 10 of what is needed to secure the border and protect the american people. Jon where do we go from here . Lets get wise minds involved here. Joining us now michael hopkins, a democratic strategist and amy holmes, political analyst for rasmussen reports. Thanks both of you for being here. Chuck schumer apparently offered to pay for the wall but he says that offer is now withdrawn. Why . Because we have no idea where the president actually is. At one point he says we need a bill of love and get daca dofnlt another point he says we wont get daca done. Only way well get it done is if we get one, two, three on his checklist but pulls too off. We need to know whats on the table. Jon there is negotiating to be done. Chuck schumer wants the dreamers, the 800,000 people who were brought here by their parents wants them to stay here legally. Why not build a wall in exchange for that and some of the other things the president wants . I think senator schumer is trying to look like a tough guy after getting beat up by his own base, caving on the Government Shutdown. Fit was such a great gamble for democrats why dont they put their name on it the schumer shutdown. What were looking at now is a negotiating position. The senator is taking the wall off the table so he can give it back as if its a big concession. You know, jon, where the real political payoff is and the real debate is is over chain migration. That has to do for the Democratic Party about future voters. Jon democrats dont like the wall idea. President trump was very open when he was campaigning about that being one of his primary campaign planks. He wanted the wall and it got him elected, did it not . Democrats arent against Border Security. The idea to build a wall across the Mexican Border isnt fiscally response. They were for it before the shutdown. We have had comprehensive immigration deals that republicans and democrats have put forth the president said he would be willing to sign once it came time to negotiate the deals and sign them. He didnt back them. We need clarity. Democrats are willing to offer Border Security but not do it while giving up on the 800,000 Daca Recipients who deserve to be made officially americans. Jon isnt the lack of Border Security some of the reason were in the situation were in now . In the Ronald Reagan era we had an immigration deal to end illegal immigration for all time. Border security should be a nonpartisan or bipartisan all american position. Chuck schumer is saying border wall in terms of the structure but any money that would go towards this. What im saying is dont look over here, look over here. It is a negotiating tactic. Theyre taking it off the table and at the 11th hour well be for the wall. What they want to keep in place is chain migration. Thats what they dont want to talk about. Jon is that the case . Do democrats love the chain migration things that allows somebody who wins the right to come to this country it allows them to bring in family members as well . Chain migration the term itself is a loaded term. Were all part of coming here because family members were here before. I think when we talk about immigration itself we need to look at the fact that illegal immigration is at an alltime low. The idea well spend billions of dollars to address a problem that is not actually a problem when we look at the things that americans are dealing with fiscal responsibility is important. In point of fact democrats will agree to spend billions on this border wall in order to get a daca deal. Jon did either party learn anything from the shutdown. Democrats learned that we have to make sure our base is happy and make sure that were reaching across the aisle. I think republicans learned they dont always get blamed for it when it was a bad gamut from the very beginning. Jon well watch what happens between now and february 8th. Thank you for being here. Melissa new details on the russia probe. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is closer to interviewing President Trump. Does this mean the investigation is nearing an end . Were going to discuss it with a former Deputy Assistant attorney general. Plus watch this. A school bus sliding on black ice on a hilly road in massachusetts.

Take a look at this video. Their school bus about 20 middle and High School Students on board slides out of control while trying to drive on an icy road in sutton. You never want somebodys car to get hit but it was a blessing in disguise. That was the only thing that stopped the bus. Jon gravity and ice do their work. The bus slides backwards down the hill, takes out a mailbox and finally stops after crashing into a sort of semi parked car that was there. Were happy to report nobody was hurt and the bus was able to continue on its way to school. Just a little paint damage. Melissa wow. New developments in the russia investigation. Several reports are indicating that special Counsel Robert Mueller will soon be asking to interview President Trump. Mueller is reportedly interested in questioning President Trump on the firings of both general flynn and james comey. But does this mean that the special counsel is closer to wrapping up his case . Here is White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders yesterday. We want to see this come to a complete and full conclusion. I think we all know what everybody in this room would do if the president did that and i dont think its helpful to the process. The president wants to see this end and he wants to see them finally come to the same conclusion that i think most everyone in america has. There is nothing to this. They spent the better part most of you have spent the better part of a year looking, digging, obsessing. Melissa our guest served as Deputy Assistant attorney general. Welcome to the show. A lot of people thinks this means theyre narrowing in on the president. At the same time, weve seen other f. B. I. Investigations including, you know, the one of Hillary Clinton that ended with an interview of her and we all know they had already decided at that point they werent going to press any charges. I understand this is a special counsel but what do you conclude from this . I dont think i can conclude anything about the guilt or innocence of the president. I think its natural that special counsel mueller would want to interview him and its natural that they would have a discussion about the terms in which that would happen. I think it does show that he must be near the end of his investigation. You typically reserve an interview of the top of the pyramid until near the end of the investigation when you feel like you have all your other ducks in a row. I think there will be some type of interview, whether its written questions or a combination of questions. And live interview or not. They will work that out. Then i think that hopefully for all of us this will be resolved one way or another shortly after that. Melissa impact the findings what they say the fact were hearing about the Text Messages. Secret society and the Insurance Plan and five months of those texts are missing. This investigation is supposed to be about the firing of james comey and the specific five months of texts that have gone missing are from right after the election until june. James comey was fired in may. That certainly speaks to the timeline were looking at what was going on in the investigation. Are these things interrelated or not related at all . Well, i think they could be related. I think particularly if there were some kind of conclusion reached about the guilt of people who were investigated by the very agents who had the Text Messages. But i think that i view it more as a side issue of those messages seem somewhat inappropriate and i think the Inspector General report which were waiting for will have a lot to say about those Text Messages and the conduct of some of the agents involved and whether they crossed any ethical lines in making some of the comments they did. But, you know, at the end of the day the facts of this are the facts. And if the facts turn out to exonerate the president and there is no collusion, then that stuff all becomes somewhat irrelevant. I think for institutional reasons the Inspector General and others will want to follow up. It doesnt necessarily need to slow down this process. Melissa let me ask you about some of the things you just said. If they are looking for collusion even if its there its not against the law. What comes of that . Well, i was using collusion they are looking for some kind of conspiracy, cooperation with the russians which we havent seen anything any real evidence of that. At least that has been leaked. Who knows what mueller has. He could have things we dont know about. It seems to me there is an obstruction type of case theyre looking at now since trump was president. Melissa we dont have time to go through it but it is more than just the comments on the part of the f. B. I. Agents. There it does seem like there is action taken that is totally inappropriate and potentially against the law and deserves its own investigation. Americans dont feel safe with f. B. I. Agents taking the actions described there. Certainly the notion of an insurance policy is concerning. It sure did look like some of those agents had at least prejudged where they wanted the investigation to come out. You would want to see if it tainted any evidence they collected or if it affects it.

He has pleaded guilty to seven counts of criminal sexual conduct. 25 to 40 years in prison. The possible sentence we will bring it to you when that sentence is handed down. Melissa two students killed and 16 others injured by gunfire in a Kentucky School shooting. Police say the 15yearold suspect accused of opening fire on his classmates yesterday is now in custody but so far there is no word on a possible motive. Mike tobin is live in benton, kentucky. Mike. And there was chaos out here. Students running in every direction out of all of the doors of the school into nearby businesses trying to escape this hail of bullets. We now have an image of the 15yearold bailey holt who was killed here on campus. A state trooper who was one of the first to come up on her realized she was wearing roughly the same clothing as his daughter who attends school here. One of our first troopers to arrive on the scene saw the young lady that died there on the scene and thought it was his daughter because she had been dropped off at the school this morning as well.
