Catherine herridge begins coverage by telling us where we stand. After the other of brutal recriminations in the call for the Republican HouseIntelligence Committee chairman to be removed, the white house signaled the memos release is imminent. We are concerned about National Security and transparency. We want the public to understand and know whats going on. White house at the memo was undergoing a final National Security check and the president s signup. Its going to get review from all relevant stakeholders. Intelligence focused on folks in Law Enforcement. Traveling from the g. O. P. Or retreat in West Virginia, sr. Whereas officials that they will Tell Congress probably friday that the president is okay with it and which actions are unlikely. Speaker of the house defended the process and chairman of thousand halogens committee and staff authored the memo. I think they would love nothing more than to play politics and change the subject. Devin and has helped shepherd through a reauthorization of 702 which is a foreign terrorist, Foreign Surveillance law. Focusing on keeping the country safe, focus on National Security. I think that what they are trying to do is sidetrack us. Democrats drafted their own version and came out swinging. The ultimate decision is made by the president. When he reads the memo from the democrats and shows the book and memo is flatout false my guess is he doesnt authorize its release. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi went further, calling for the chairmans removal. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said the california congresswoman house committees raking democrat adam schiff accuse republicans of secretly making material changes that under longstanding congressional rules disqualify the release. Adam schiff said the goal was undermining the separate special counsel optional probe. Because of serious and material omissions, is inaccurate and gives a very misleading impression. Designed to tar the fbi and the department of justice. A source disputed. Describing the edits is minor, including grammar. At least two changes are made of the request of the fbi and democrats. With the memos release appearing to be certainty, or Committee Republicans tried to tamp down expectations. I think of her book and sometimes make a mistake of overselling things. Its vital and essential from the public to see and its important to be out there. Fbis statement warning of the accuracy puts director wray at odds with the white house and congressional republicans. The Fbi Agents Association released a statement thinking director wray for Standing Shoulder to shoulder with agents. Spewing water relearning about the special counsel focus on the trump tower meeting. Media reports that the special counsel is focused on hope hicks after allegations she sent emails about the 2016 meeting. The statement, its not my practice to comment in response to questions from the media but this warrants a response. She never said that. The idea that hope hicks ever suggested that emails or other documents would be concealed or destroyed is completely false. Bret thank you. Moments ago we received james comey put out this tweet. All should appreciate the fbi speaking up. I wish more of our leaders would take heart but take heart. American history shows them in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field. So long as good people stand up. Not a lot of schools or streets named for joe mccarthy. The world waits to see the surveillance memo, President Trump brought his 2018 playbook to republican lawmakers still perhaps a bit shaken up after yesterdays train accident. He did it without commenting on the fisa document. Chief white house correspond to roberts tells us what happened today. You will at the state of the Union Address on tuesday President Trump was caught on an open mic telling a republican member he would release the memo. President has read the contents of the memo and we are told is ready to release it but the president himself is playing his cards close to his vest. Arriving back from West Virginia, President Trump ignored questions about the fisa memo as he had when he was leaving this morning. President wanted to give a focus on his 2018 agenda. Well be demonstrating that we are very, very serious. Top of the list daca, border security, immigration reform. President trump blasting democrats for doing nothing about daca, revealing his offer of a path to citizenship for 1. 8 million dreamers was a test for democrats. I wanted to see whether not they would approve it. If they dont approve something within that sphere, that means simply that they are not looking to prove it at all. Speak up and it was, President Trump said by the way, dont call them dreamers. Some people call the dreamers. Its not dreamers. Dont fall into that trap. We have dreamers in this country too. Democrats have nothing kind to say about the president s agenda. Nancy pelosi calling the state of the Union Address a performance devoid of any serious policy ideas. President trump fired back, heres a serious idea. How about bonuses for workers from the tax cut . These corporations giving tremendous bonuses to everybody. Nancy pelosi called them crumbs. That was a bad that could be like deplorable. Does that make sense . Deplorable end crumbs. The minority Leaders Office replied what is deplorable is the effort to hide the corporate windfalls of the g. O. P. Tax scam behind onetime bonuses. That wasnt the only dustup. Earlier at the republican retreat, Vice President mike pence took a shovel to joe manchin. He wrote a note to give working families more of your voted no for tax creators, going to keep voting against West Virginia. Joe manchin didnt like it, tweeting mike pence talks a good game but i met with 1321 times to make tax cuts larger and permanent for the middle class. Not big businesses and millionaires. For his part, the president singled out democrats who sat on their hands at the state union, refusing to applaud. When i made the statement the other night, there was zero movement from the democrats. Which tells you perhaps they would rather see has not do well did see our country great, and thats not good. Thats not good. Fox news is told that a deal on daca remains elusive and that there may not be anything in place of the time the government runs out of money next thursday. In fact, legislative text on the immigration proposal may not be available until at least february 9, which means negotiators are going to start to feel the heat from that looming march 5 deadline to do something to fix daca. Bret we are getting bored the president is heading to ohio on monday. Is there a sense that its its going to be easy to get a continuing resolution by february 8 . Im told there wont be any problem getting the continuing resolutions. The democrats have no appetite to shut the government down again. What will be difficult is getting it deal in the budget gaps. Im being told by sources at the white house with the democrats are holding fast, that there needs to be in agreement on daca for they will tackle the budget cap. Continuing resolution is one thing. A budget deal is quite another. Bret john roberts live on the farm, thanks. G. O. P. Lawmakers are trying to cobble together an immigration plan before the next deadline hits. Peter doocy is at the g. O. P. Retreat. Good evening. Good evening. There is reason to think republicans talking about immigration at this retreat have started to delete some provisions that are critical to other republicans because there is no talk about an immigration deal that does not address the Visa Lottery Program or chain migration. I think if we can solve daca and border security, that may be the best we can hope for. The president told senators here in West Virginia today he wants more from a oneforone bill that addresses daca on the border is not enough. We want people coming in to our country based on merit and based on the fact that they are going to love our country and respect our people and our country. We dont want visa lottery. Pick a lottery ticket. Pick a lottery. We dont want that. We wanted on merit. Many House Republicans are with the president on this issue because he lacks what people in their districts like and the lawmaker tasked with defending the house is forecasting how immigration is going to play the midterms. The other side frankly would love to have nothing happen in campaign against it. And frankly i dont want a bad deal. I dont think we should take a bad deal but when he to hold them accountable for they do and dont do if they dont want to come together and get a deal, then there may not be ideal pad. Control the congress is in the only thing hanging in the balance. Congress actually shut down the last time there was a daca fight. The Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell said today he doesnt think thats going to be an issue again. He thinks democrats learned their lesson. I dont think we will see a threatened Government Shutdown again over the subject. One of my favorite old kentucky sayings is there is no education in the second kick of a mule. That means mcconnell thinks democrats are going to look the other way and vote to keep the government open next week even if there is no daca deal in place, even though thats what a lot of them thought he was promising when they agreed to vote to keep to end the shutdown last time. Bret no education in the second kick of a meal, sounding like senator kennedy from louisiana. And investigators trying to figure out would lead to yesterdays train accident. Two people in the truck on the track were seriously hurt. No one in the republican delegation suffered major injury although some reported bumps, bruises, sore joints. At least one concussion. You can expect more arrests of Illegal Immigrants of federal state and local courthouses. Immigration authorities are making official a policy that has drawn widespread criticism from proimmigration advocates. William la jeunesse looks at both sides. Forever criminal Public Safety threat that we can take custody of. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is doubling down on a policy allowing agents to arrest criminal aliens at the courthouse. This policy, to arrest people in courthouses, make sense. In the past, i see arrested criminal aliens in jail. It was seamless, safe and effective. And still cities bandit. Immigrant supporters we will not stand by repressive, endangering families. The new director says agents have no intention of sweeping trafficker city courts for nonviolent offenders. The policy pretty specific. The rest of the courthouse, going after targets. Criminal aliens or targets. Not victims, not witnesses, not Family Members. Another concern, recent increase in unaccompanied minors crossing the border. He blames her recent ninth Circuit Court ruling that prohibits dhs from Holding Children for months or longer until their asylum hearing. The president was a policy to change that. It finally ends the horrible and dangerous practice of catch and release. The ninth circuit ruled unaccompanied children are entitled to a bond hearing and must be placed in the least restrictive environment available. Critics say catch and release policies incentivize more illegal immigration. Bret thank you. U. S. Oil production has topped 10 Million Barrels per day for the First Time Since 1970. That is according to the Energy Information administration. This occurs as opec nations of her and their commitment to supply cuts in order to stabilize prices. Price of a barrel of crude oil is just under 70, and the nationwide average here in the u. S. For a gallon of gas 2. 60. Stocks mixed today. Dow gained 37. A summary of a hundred drop 2.

Wesco states are driving inhibits the direction with reference to tax carbon this is an economic benefit for washington, job creation. Jobs in the Clean Energy Sector growing twice as fast as the rest of the economy. Washington states governor wants to tax residents every time they fill up at the pump, heat their homes to more plugin electric vehicles. Businesses like boeing that compete internationally would be exempt. They had to residents and small businesses, 3. 3 billion over four years. That money would go to green industries. Not just subsidizing clean energy. Helping the environment, youre also subsidizing a big expansion in government bureaucracy which does nothing to help the environment. British columbia was slivers of north america tax carbon into thousand eight. The results mostly good. The missions are slightly down even as the population in the economy grow. They also cut taxes to make up for Higher Energy costs. California already has a cap and trade program while Oregon Lawmakers similar plan. All an attempt to change behavior. Carbon tax corrects for the market failure. Speak of the fate of the carbonx bill is uncertain. Similar movement forming in the northeast. Bill introduced in massachusetts with tax energy use but resident they would get a rebate at the end of the year. Bret dan springer in seattle.

Just guidance. Td ameritrade. Bret u. S. Accusing syria of producing and using what it calls new kinds of weapons to deliver deadly chemicals. Administration officials told the Associated PressPresident Trump is not ruled out additional military action to deter attacks or punish the syrian leader. Syria and russia claim reports implicating the damascus regime in Chemical Attacks are false. It may soon be illegal for people in poland to make accusations against others about the holocaust. Pending legislation drawing Harsh Criticism from israel in the u. S. Corresponded David Lee Miller examines the issue from the middle east newsroom. Passing a bill to make it illegal to save the country over its people had any complicity in the holocaust. Polands president is likely to sign it into law. Violators can be sentenced to up to three years in prison. Reaction here in israel as outrage. Dozens of my Family Members died on the land when the territory poland with the aid of poles. Writing such bill is an insult. 3 million polish jews died during the war. The state department cautioned the polish government about the bill and issued a statement that said we encourage poland to reevaluate the legislation. Poles who support the bill say there was no such thing as polish death camps but rather camps that were built and operated by german nazis on polish soil. Translator we are very sad and surprised. Our fight for the truth, the dignity of poles. The bill makes an exception for artistic or Academic Work regarding the holocaust. But the Senior Historian had Israels Holocaust Museum says the subject is best dealt with through education, not legislation. They are trying to rewrite the narrative and not deal with the difficult subject of cases where people who were victims also became perpetrators or at least accomplices. Some israel is calling on Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu to recall the ambassador to poland in protest. Bret David Lee Miller, thank you. We are eight days from the start of the Winter Olympics in south korea. Some big Movement Today on two france.

International Olympic Committee committees say they cant necessarily join other russian athletes are that it will restore russias reputation. Since the committee has suspended, russian athletes can participate in forfeiting some of your north korea might restart some of its dangerous games. Bret greg palkot in london. Thank you. Up next, the among republicans over paid family leave. African leaders have decided against demanding a polish from President Trump over his comparison some in a meeting with the president insisted he said it. Officials backed off after President Trump sent a letter pledging deep respect and saying Rex Tillerson would make an extended visit in march. Associated press says its confirmed five previously unreported mass graves filled with Rohingya Muslims being persecuted in burma. The government has denied charges of ethnic cleansing. U. N. Envoy said burmas campaign bears the hallmarks of a genocide. More strikes planned tomorrow at auto plants in germany. Thousands of workers walked off the job today. They are pressing for a 6 wage increase for almost 4 million workers. They also want to reduce work weeks to 28 hours for up to two years. Some of the stories beyond our borders tonight.

Oh man. Lets go. distant you comin, boy . Sfx dog gulp woof. Still at a battle may be brewing in the Republican Party over paid family leave. President trump came out in favor of it in the state of the union but faces highlevel opposition. Deirdre bolted looks at the practical effects of an expensive new benefit. Im thrilled i get to see her. This mom is one of the first beneficiaries of a new family leave program. She works at new york university. When her daughter was born, she and her husband faced a cash crunch and dipped into their savings so she could stretch her time off from work. Now thanks to new policy, she is not forced to choose between focusing on her daughter or her job. Im a little bit sad because i think back to my son and there were things i dont remember with him. With her, i feel like i am really in tune to what her needs are. Pew Research Shows most americans favor the concept of National Paid family leave. 35 of americans say its as important as improving transportation and dealing with drug addiction. Ivanka trump wrote a letter in the wall street journal making the case for National Plan saying its an investment in americas family. During the state of the union, the president endorsed a national policy. The u. S. Is the only industrialized nation where citizens arent given paid time off when a Family Member is deployed on active military Service Abroad to care for a close relative with the Serious Health condition, or to bond with a newly born adopted or fostered child. Conservatives, including paul ryan, think the free market should determine benefits. They are afraid of creating another entitlement program. New york state lawmakers think they have found a solution. Their program is funded by residents through a weekly payroll tax thats less than 1 . If you make 27,000 a year, its about 0. 65 a week. It will be put in the fondant be there when you need it. It will be in the fund. Eight weeks off at 50 of the weekly wage with a cap of 650 per week. By 2021, new yorkers will be allowed to take more time. Bret thank you. Two students shot this morning inside a middle School Classroom west of downtown los angeles. 15yearold boy hit in the head is still listed in critical but stable condition. 15yearold girl struck in the wrist is in fair condition. Police arrested a 12yearold female student and recovered a gun. The classroom, the workplace, even the church have become much more dangerous in recent years. More and more individuals and groups are taking steps to be prepared for a worstcase scenario such as a person with the gun intent on causing harm. Bryan llenas looks at the growth industry of active shooter situation training. Inside this beverage Distribution Center, 50 employees are about to experience what its like to be an active shooter situation. The company is one of an increasing number of businesses, schools, and churches. Seeking active Shooter Training as the number of shootings has increased. I want them to be prepared, know what to do, and we truly want them to get home safe. The Saratoga CountySheriffs Office has the number of trainings they do is up from one or two to 15. I think we need to get out of the mindset. It is way and is going to happen. In this drill, they use live blank gunfire and mock pipe bombs to make it as real as possible. The drill begins when an officer acting as the shooter wounds a salesman outside. He manages to call 911. Police are in route. The Distribution Center initiates a lockdown. The gunman enters, firing gunshots and throwing pipe bombs, shooting an employee. The first Police Response arrives on scene and they go towards the gunshots as the shooter fires rounds in the warehouse, the Police Confront him. Shoot me a Second Police dream treats the wounded and begins to evacuate. Employees are taught to run, hide, or fight. When you see the person coming toward you with a gun, your instinct takes over and you run. Didnt know where he was going, didnt know how fast the response was going to be. Three months ago Jeff Sessions awarded a 5. 4 million grant for the alert center in texas, the preeminent active Shooter Training facility. Bret thank you. We are awaiting for the expected release of the surveillance memo. We have been talking about it for days. Its coming out, we think. We will talk about the elements with the panel. You take care of business. Let office depot® officemax take care of you. This week all dell pcs are up to twenty five percent off save even more when you purchase a dell monitor. And make sure you protect your investment. Office depot® officemax. Officedepot. Com this memo is really a spin on not just a set of particular documents but broader classified information than that. This memo is important to the american people, understanding whats going on in the department of justice and the federal bureau of investigation. It is full of falsehoods. Its shoddy and poorly written. This is vital, essential for the public to see. Important for the body of evidence to get out there. Its going to get review from relevant stakeholders, intelligence folks and folks in Law Enforcement. They will be advising the president and he will make a decision. Bret we have talked about it. A lot of people have talked about it. We think its coming out tomorrow morning. A lot of talk today about edits before the white house saw it and and a backandforth on it. The Intelligence Committee putting out a statement. Its increasingly strange attempt to thwart publication of the metal. The minority is complaining about edits. Including grammatical fixes and edits requested by the fbi and the minority. The move to release the memo was procedurally sound and in accordance with rules. To suggest otherwise is a bizarre distraction from the abuse is detailed in memo. We think that will happen tomorrow morning. Stephen hayes, editor in chief for the weekly standard. Mara liasson, National Political correspondent for National Public radio. Mollie hemingway, Senior Editor at the federalist. Steve, where are we on this and where it stands . Scenes the story has now, some of it gone to is the memo going to be everything we think its going to be . I dont know if it possibly can be. So much has been made of it. I think there will be significant new information in it. What we learn about the behavior of certain Law Enforcement senior federal Law Enforcement officials will be traveling to people. Is it enough to change the debate in washington about trump and russia and the fbi and all that . I dont think it probably is but i think we will learn at noon n new information. It would be nice to understand what the claims and counterclaims are. Bret here is ryan. They would love nothing more than to play politics. Devin nunes helped shepherd a reauthorization of 702. He is focusing on keeping the country safe, focused on National Security. What they are trying to do is sidetrack us. That was interesting today because he went on to say let me tell you what this memo is and isnt. The memo is congress doing oversight of the fbi. What it isnt is an attack on our institutions. Its not an attack on the fbi, department of justice, not an attack on robert mueller. The fact that he had to say that shows you the unprecedented moment. You have the president at war basically feuding with his handpicked fbi director, handpicked Deputy Attorney general who didnt want this memo to come out. That is something we havent ever seen. Is not surprising the fbi would be freaking out. They have expressed concern. Nobody likes to have their dirty laundry aired. This reportedly will air some of it. Its a little more disconcerting how many other people have joined with them to keep americans from learning about the abuses at the fbi and learning more information. Adam schiff did a last ditch effort to try to fight the memo from being available. He fought the subpoenas that led to the information. There is a general obstruction there weve seen from democrats on the committee, also the fbi themselves. They spent last year obstructing requests for information. I think it is wise to temper expectations. I think its the beginning of a long process of figuring out exactly whats going on. Learning more and bringing it to light. Bret what do you make of comey street. Comeys tweet. Also not a lot of schools or streets named for james comey and all likelihood. Its odd he would make this reference to joe mccarthy. Publicly intimating there was an investigation on donald trump. Bret it is interesting to see former fbi director, former cia director on twitter tossing balls to the Public Discourse like this. They are well within their rights to do it. Bret i am not saying its against the law. I think its informative. I think our colleagues in the Mainstream Media have shown an in capability of imagining the people like james comey would be political. People like john brennan. For those of us who reported on the episodes over the last eight years from benghazi to guantanamo to the iran deal, its pretty clear they were capable of being political. One of the things that will come out of the release of the memo is we will see more politics. Does it invalidate the entire investigation into trump and russia . I dont think so. If the fbi played games with fisa applications, does that somehow exculpate donald trump jr. From his meeting at trump tower for misleading people about it . There is still an investigation to be had even if its the case bret the New York Times has an article saying a p. R. Person is planning to tell mr. Mueller about a Conference Call between hope hicks, planning to say miss hicks hope hicks attorney has issued a statement. Not my response or comment. Zeroing in on air force one meeting about the release, the press release. Those are four words. We dont know what the context was. We dont know if she said them. She denies it. Wherewith the purpose was. The other thing is this is a Statement Released to the media. This wasnt the Statement Given to the fbi. When i think its interesting about cultivators it wasnt that long ago the democrats were saying the fbi was politically biased against hillary. They were saying there were some fbi agents who leaked to rudy giuliani, put pressure on james comey to release information about the emails found on Anthony Weiners laptop. Maybe there is something on the left and right in the fbi. Bret wall street journal is about how mccabe was sitting on Anthony Weiners, the emails on his computer for weeks. Maybe to get past the election. People should think less about whether it benefits hillary or trump so much as we needed fbi they can be trusted. They need to follow procedures. They did hurt Hillary Clinton and they did possibly hurt donald trump. There is no conflict. Bret the president tries to rally the republican troops at a West Virginia retreat.

Pick a lottery ticket. Pick a lottery. We dont want that. We are covering a lot of issues and there will be time set aside or we can talk about immigration. I think if we can solve daca and border security, that may be the best we can hope for. Bret republican retreat in West Virginia trying to solve a lot of the different elements of a lot of things that are coming up very soon. Meantime, new pullout. We showed you the fox pulls a fill Congress Getting to pass a legislative agenda. 55 . 41 unsuccessful. Vote for congress if the election were held today. Monmouth has at republicans 45, democrats 47. You see the split in december. This is a big shift, mara and i think you are seeing paychecks from different workers starting to beef up a little bit from the tax law and people feeling pretty good. The republican theory is that as the economy continues to be good come as the tax laws begin to be felt, they can turn it around. If those polls are any indication, the generic ballot is getting smaller. And youve got the republicans structural advantages. We learned the rnc has raised more money ever. The democrats have raised almost none. Plus redistricting. Theyve got a lot of fortifications, and things might not be looking as terrible as some people were predicting. Bret this prediction that this democratic wave that is stupid, conventional wisdom. Just stupid. Just dumb. People say its likely the house is going to flip. Really . Bret we cover these stories. Wait, hold on. Mara, strong letter to follo follow. Bret they talked about the challenges. There are many. Likely another continuing resolution. Immigration is still at loggerheads. Shortterm challenges like the debt ceiling, immigration. Longerterm challenges like infrastructure. Paid family leave. You have much more split among republicans in congress then was indicated in the aftermath of what i think most people felt was pretty successful state of the union speech. It was an emotional speech. People were excited. Later, youre getting more republican saying theres a lot of government in the speech. He didnt talk about entitlements. Between a stimulus plan, a couple hundred billion from new federal revenue. I spoke with mark meadows today and he said they had forwarded recommendations to the administration about offsets that came out of mandatory spending programs. Looking at things like entitlements. They are going to want that money paid for if theres going to be a discussion of broader infrastructure. Bret speaker of the house is a former Vice President ial nominee who campaigned in front of the National Debt clock. You heard john thune Say Something really different than what the president is talking about. That seemed odd. At this deal put forth is one thats difficult for democrats to fight. You get everything you want for the daca fix and more. In exchange you get awol. You get a wall. Getting rid of the random visa situation. Thats very difficult for democrats to fight against because not only does the fix help them with their minority identity politics voters. They need more white workingclass voters. If you are fighting for noncitizens of the expensive citizens and make that a big part of your 2018 message, its not going to be resonating. Bret seems like republicans are getting more confident. Vice president going after joe manchin, democrat from West Virginia, saying he voted against the tax law. Pointedly, and manchin sending out a statement. Shocked that after the Vice President worked in and buy the Vice President s comments are exactly why washington sucks. When we come back, going the extra mile for a great cause.
