Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Special Report With Bret Baier 20190114

Washington, i am bret baier. President trump is being a lot more forceful tonight and his denial and suggestions, he has actually been working for the russians. His first crack at refuting that was tempered and today he has significantly turned up the volume on this push back. He is also keeping the criticism of democrats for their role and his role on the partial Government Shutdown from center. We have Team Coverage on how the president keeps fighting back against the russia probe and how that may be affecting his poll numbers. Catherine herridge with the reaction to the allegations about the president s loyalties. We start out with john roberts in a most unusual accusation against an american commander in chief good evening. Was an extraordinary arab news reports. When accusing the president of trying to sell out his country to the russians, the other accusing the president of trying to hide from his senior aides, the contents of meetings with Vladimir Putin. As you can imagine, the president came out swinging hard against both. Leaving the white house for new orleans today President Trump slammed the report that the fbi was looking into whether he was working on behalf of russia after he fired james comey. I never worked for russia. It is a disgrace that you asked that question. According to the New York Times the fbi leadership became so concerned about the president s behavior with the times, they began an inquiry into whether President Trump was engaged in unamerican activity. On the south on this morning President Trump reminded who was leading the russia investigatio investigation. The people doing that investigation were people that have been caught that are known scoundrels. I guess you can say they are dirty cops. President trump also came in a Washington Post reporter when he went to extraordinary lengths to keep from senior aides the details of meetings he had with russia president Vladimir Putin. Even going so far as to take the notes of a translator after the july 27th meeting. I have those meetings oneonone with all leaders, including the president of chin china. Including the Prime Minister of japan. We have those meetings all the time, no big guilt. Democrats but all the news about Vladimir Putin reason enough to keep the investigation going. That was a alarming report. I suggest to me that the investigation needs to continue to its logical conclusion. In new orleans today President Trump try to keep up the pressure on democrats to make a deal on Border Security and reopen the government. When it comes to keeping the American People safe, i will never back down. In a speech to the farm bureau attempting to flip the script and played democrats for federal workers not getting their paychecks. Im asking all of our citizens to call you democratic lawmakers. Ask them to pass a bill that secures our border, protects our country, and now reopens our government. On his way out the door in new orleans this morning President Trump again indicated no appetite for declaring a National Emergency to build the wall. Im not looking to call a National Emergency. This is so simple. I have the absolute legal right to collect, but im not looking to do that. This is too simple. Publican senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina to support the idea of a National Emergency declaration had a suggestion yesterday, maybe the president could reopen the government for a brief period, perhaps about three weeks and if he doesnt get a negotiation with the democratic democrats r security all bets are off. President trump politely rejected that idea this morning saying, as long as the democrats refused to negotiate, the government will remain shut down. Bret john roberts, thank you. Lets take dig a little deeperr publicans are reacting to that. He was chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge. Congressional testimony from the fbis former top lawyer james a baker ability senior fbi leadership debated whether the president s decision to fire james comey was equally directed by the russian government. House republican John Radcliffe was questions uncover the revelation told fox, in may 2017 political bias infected senior fbi leadership. It drove their deception making. He continued, fpa Senior Leadership cannot accept that he was fired for cause the president had the ability to terminate him. No actual evidence has emerged, fox news can confirm that senior appia leadership was disturbed by the president s comments, licking his determination to moscow. Including an Oval Office Meeting where he told the russian Prime Minister, the fair and eased the pressure. Theres been a confusing and alarming tendency on the part of President Trump to complement president Vladimir Putin, we question his closeness to them. Tells me a lot about the people running the fbi. I dont trust it. What i want to do is make sure, how could the fbi do that . What kind of checks and balances are there . Speak of the democratic chairman of the house intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committee Said they are committing a subpoena taken by his translator during a 2017 meeting, it was with the russian president , Vladimir Putin. Bret tomorrow we will have the full coverage with the attorney general nominees hearing up on capitol hill. Learning more about the bars thinking on a special counsel in advance of tomorrows confirmation hearings. According to prepared remarks, the nominee for attorney general, michael will be to provide as much transparency as i can consistent with the law, will make those judgments solely on the law will not know personal, political or improper interest in smart decision. Today the aclu said in a press, they explore his position on president ial authorities and masked data collection. Taproot vigorously russian about his views on executive power, on what he thinks the limits of the president s power, how he will defend the fourth amendment. Whether he will really scale back surveillance programs that we know great significance constitutional concern. The hearing starts tomorrow here on fox and are scheduled over the next couple of days. Bret catherine, thank you. President trumps daily selfdefense over the pressure probe may have been having a negative and packed, his position on the partial Government Shutdown what comes next. Brit hume is here to look at the numbers and discuss those things. Good evening. We want to start with this shutdown and the positioning. We are sinkholes that dont look good for the president and g. O. P. What are your thoughts on this and if there is a turning point in this whole backandforth . We have been here before, havent we . The Government Shutdown people plenty republicans. In only one case and that was the Chuck Schumer shutdown. Mostly i think people perceive the republicans as the party that wants to shrink the government and the democrats are the party of governments. It is a natural tendency to blame the republicans for shutdown, especially when their leader, President Trump publicly says he will take the blame. He is getting it and it is affecting his poll numbers. Bret interestingly the poll, pulling the border wall has now increased fairly significantly as we have into those numbers move in recent weeks and months. They are up to 40 now as talked about. I think that gives the president a little hope that at some point he and the democrats these two parties seem to put themselves in opposite quarters of the same room and can see a way out of it. The obvious way out of it would be for the democrats to give some ground on funding the border barrier or wall or whatever you choose to collect. The president to give some ground on Immigration Reform to the democrats want. I think you shot mowing us to do that, at particular times he is lord has told the request for funding the barrier. At this point i think the democrats seem to think that he is in such bad shape politically that they can force on him a total surrender on this issue. They can really humiliate him. If that doesnt work in the government remains close, people will say, come on, you can give a little ground on the border wall. I notice a senator was saying that he didnt totally agree with Nancy Pelosis assessment that the border wall is immoral. It would be pretty hard to argue that in light of the fact that democrats have voted for funding for the border before. Theres obviously something for the president to hang his hat on here. Bret want to play the sound bite. This is his first reaction about this New York Times story that he was working for the russians. It is the most insulting thing ive ever been asked, it is the most insulting article ive ever had written. If you read the article you can see that they found absolutely nothing. I never worked for russia i never worked for russia not only did i never worked for them, it is a disgrace that you even ask that question. Bret elective parsing about his answers, and that story the ninth paragraph down but did say that they didnt have any evidence. Was fascinating over the weekend was when he didnt directly deny that he worked for russia and the question that he got from the judge. If you think about that for a second, it is amusing. In order to believe that that was significant that he didnt directly deny it, he would have to believe that he did to it and that he was working for russia that he was too honest to lie about it. I dont think many of his critics actually believe that. That was silly. He seems not to have made a pretty firm denial which is where we are. Bret we that is where we a. The Top Republican in congress is tearing into one of his own, Mitch Mcconnell says the Iowa Republican steve king might want to consider getting a new job. Last week he was quoted by the New York Times is reported here saying, white nationalist, white supremacist, white civilization, how did that link which become offensive . That was a rookie mistake. This afternoon he said there was no place in the Republican Party for him in congress or the country foreign ideology of racial supremacy of any kind. I have no tolerance for such positions in those who expose these views are not supporters of american ideals and freedoms. His statements are unwelcome and unworthy of his elected position. If he doesnt understand White Supremacy is offensive and he should find another line of work. Also today illinois democratic congressman bobby rush introduced a resolution to censure him, the majority whip says a reprimand will do. President trump says he is not been following the controversy and with this afternoon, Kevin Mccarthy met with king, so far no one involved his commented on that meeting. The president s top diplomat is supporting his threat to cause economic devastation to a major american ally. Mike pompeo was heading back after an effort to try to get some of the countrys most friends to act a little friendlier towards each other. Rich edson reports from saudi arabia. Mike pompeo and sadiq khan prince, their second meeting here in three months to discuss yemen, iran and syria. The secretary also defended President Trumps tweet threatening to devastate turkey economically. If the attacks against British Forces in syria. Turkey considers them terrorist. United states says they are reliable partners against isis. We want to make sure they have security. Also that terrorists out of syria are not able to attack turkey. The way we will secure those security along the border, something we are still working on. Speak with the foreign minister responded that his country is never afraid of threats. Strategic partners should never communicate through social media. On the war in yemen the Saudi Led Coalition is fighting iranian forces, the state Department Says the u. S. And saudi arabia agreed on the need for continuing deescalation. Mike pompeo arrived in the capital of saudi arabias neighbor and adversary. One year ago, saudi arabia and united arab emirates, egypt initiated a blockade against cutter. The secretary says the fight among u. S. Regional at highest make allies hamper the ministrations effort to confront iran. If this has dragged on too long. The dispute benefits adversaries. The secretary says he also raised Jamal Khasoggis bartering 20 crown prince and the king that everyone responsible for his death must be held accountable. He says both saudi leaders acknowledged those responsible should be punished. After caa briefing last year, several senior democratic and republican senators said the intel leads him to believe the conference was responsible. It is been more than 100 days since Jamal Khasoggi was murdered inside saudi arabias consulate an end stable. The government says it has charged 11 suspects and is pursuing a Death Penalty against five of them. Bret thank you. There are new concerns tonight about americans being held captive and iran. Last week iran confirmed it is holding a u. S. Navy veteran comedy First American seized since President Trump took office. Michael white is 1 of 4 americans held prisoner in iran. Tonight the and other captive talks with the respondent. Three years ago the phd student left his wife and 2yearold son in princeton for what he thought would be a quick trip to research 19th century central asia politics. Instead he became a victim of 21st century politics, arrested by police. Iran says that he is a spy. He is not a spy. He is not a spy. He is a history nerd. All he wanted to do was do a Good Research and then teach for the rest of his life. He is now serving a 10year term in irans notorious prison. 1 of 4 americans being held. His wife has been fighting for his freedom ever since. Her husband left home the same month the iron nuclear deal of effect. They are released by prisoners as participate part of the dea. I received a phone call and it was him. He was crying to me that he was detained. It was a time that he first came out of solitary confinement and gave me a phone call. He literally cannot say anything to me to describe to me. What did he say it was like . He cannot even properly for my sentence. And publicly said that he is not a spy. He was in the same princeton phd program. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was an american citizen and iran right after iran had released all of its prisoners. They perhaps needed more. She described the impact on his wife and 5yearold son. He is not sure where his dad has one has had is coming back. Three years later as she was right at the fonte as his family awaits his return. This is all politics. It has been didnt do anything wrong. In princeton new jersey, fox news. Bret up next, these have been President Trumps brought back obamacare regulations, we will explain. First, here is what some of our affiliates are covering around the country. The transportation security ministrations as a passenger bound for tokyo was able to pass through security with an undetected gone. Officials are not yet set how that gone cut through security, the tsa says it is to entry procedures for screening were not followed. It happened on january 2nd, a week into the shutdown. Flock seven in austin texas, the lawmaker says a confederate plaque in the Texas Capital that rejects slavery as the underlying cause of the civil war has been removed. Eric johnson tweeted a photo of the blank wall with the plaque was once displayed. His long produced a term of capital which was made by the children of the confederacy and was first hung in the capitol in 59. This is a live look at los angeles from our affiliates, the bigs were there tonight, Pacific Gas Electric says it plans to player for bankruptcy protectio protection, a liability regarding any deadly california wildfire.

Bret this is a fox news alert, another blow short time ago to another President Trumps move to try to roll back obamacare regulations. This one involves contraception, and players were legally bound to provide it. National correspondent william has more details from los angeles. Lake in a pennsylvania district judge issued a nationwide injunction against President Trumps policy allowing some employers to opt out of mandatory Birth Control coverage for women. The fight is over and obama era mandate under the Affordable Care act employers provide free contraception. Dunlop provided eight narrow religious exemption, President Trump sought to expand. We will not allow people of faith to be targeted, bullied or silenced. The new rule would allow employers like the Little Sisters of the poor to opt out based on religious or moral objection. The Little Sisters have a real objection here. It is not financially motivated, it is not something that they are trying to do to be more profitable, so their shareholders can get more money. They dont have shareholders. The people theyre trying to serve for the elderly, poor and dying. Planned parenthood says the policy is so probably written it could apply to corporations, and besting own companies who could use the loophole to avoid paying for coverage. This rule applies to any employer whether they are religiousbased, faithbased organization or not. It allows them to prevent your Health Insurance from covering Birth Control for any reason. It could be a religious reason, immoral reason, it could be anything at all. The injunction follows a similar ruling sunday from the federal judge in oakland that applied only to washington d. C. In 13 states. Both judges were obama appointees. The administration claims more objectors should not be forced into action that conflict with their belief or conscience. Some believers will enter the supreme court. Bret william, thank you. Tens of thousands of los angeles teachers are on strike tonight after a contentious contract negotiations fail. Los angeles is a nations secondlargest school district, Union Teachers put it last year to block off the job the first time in three decades if a deal was not reached on issues including higher wages, smaller class sizes. Schools will stay open because the district with 640,000 students has hired hundreds of substitutes to replace teachers and others who leave for picket lines. Stocks begin the week on a down note. The dow lost 86, the s p 500 dropped 14, the nasdaq fell 66. Up next, new blood versus old blood, the democratic president ial race in the new heights of them intimacy we might see on the trail. First, beyond our borders. A Chinese Court sentencing a canadian man to death in a sudden retrial of a drugs billing case. The suspect was detained more than four years ago, initially sentenced to 15 years in prison. The resentencing is likely to affect diplomatic negotiations between the countries over the rest of the top Chinese Technology executives.

Bret former president obama is calling for new blood and democratic president ial race. That comment as you can imagine is not going over too well with his former Vice President , 76yearold joe biden. He is considering a run. There are two new contenders as of this weekend, Kristin Fisher looks at how 2020 is shaping up for the democrats. Ive decided to run into making a formal announcement. The a white congresswoman became the first prominent democrat to officially enter the 2020 race since maryland congressman john delaney announced his intentions to run a year ago. Right out of the gate to pass a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage back in 1998 is once again coming under scrutiny. She sensed that i regard to the positions i took in the past, the Republican National committee believes she has no basis of support. Liberals think shes too conservative, conservatives think shes too liberal. The rnc also attacks the Second Democratic candidate went to the race, saying he has made history by becoming one of the biggest lightweights to have a run for president. The former san antonio mayor and secretary of housing and urban development was campaigning in puerto rico today says, he has the experience and he believes his relative youth is an asset. It is time for new leadership it is time for new energy. Elizabeth warren hasnt officially announced she is running, but she sure sounded like it. We need to make the systemic change in this country. The biggest fish in this evergrowing democratic see the big former Vice President joe biden. People say he is doing okay, he was always the 1 guy. He ran two or three times. Buzzes building that he is about to enter the race even though just last week his old boss seem to signal that he may not have his full support. The Democratic Party may have a deficit of leadership we need new blood. That new blood could be someone like beto orourke who met with mr. Obama in november, dont forget about senator bernie sanders. He reported that he just locked down his team from 2016 and senator Kirsten Gillibrand is expected to talk to the Exporter Committee and the upcoming days. Bret thank you. More on this with the panel. Between 20 campaign is arty sent new standards when it comes to intimacy. Tonight Fox News Media analyst and focus of the, howard kurtz looks at just how far the transparency and sales job makeup. President trump is a master of making news with twitter taunts. The hot commodity these days as online videos. Not a boring speeches, canada swing everyday things. Beto orourke, the failed texas candidate uses instagram. Im here at the dentist and we are continue our series on the people of the border. They talked about the border but much mockery and speed ben shapiro tweeting his own moment, who wore it better . Other likely 2020 candidate, Kamala Harris was seen here declaring herself pro dancing. She announced her Exporter Committee she wanted to show her comfort with a cold one. Hold on. Im going to get me a beer. The president tweeted about her beer catastrophe saying if pocahontas had done the video with her husband dressing full indian garb it was about a smas smash. The 2020 contenders are way behind the 29yearold democratic congresswoman with 2 million instagram and twitter followers watcher cook. Heres the final product. We have some of our mac and cheese. Who cares. She responded with an emoji, we got under his skin. From politicians determined to see real and authentic, not stiff and scripted, if in therapy happily videos work. Or they can look decidedly uncool. Bret when they dont come with thank you. President trump princess he has never worked for the russians and he is insulted by the insinuation plus, is there an end in sight for the person gotl shutdown . We get reaction from the panel when we come back. There should be the easiest deal that ive ever seen. We are talking about Border Security. Who could be against that . What we dont want to do is waste taxpayer money on a vanity project but is it effective. Border security are to be driven by the experts, not by the political whim of a Campaign Promise or trumps that the wall will be built. It is common sense. What we are talking what is common sense. Bret that is where we are. We will talk with the partial Government Shutdown, day 24, the longest in u. S. History. The president tweeting out, ive been waiting all weekend. The border must be secured. Nancy and crying truck can and they shut down in 15 minutes. It is become they are in the fault. I told him what the people in the poll dont think that way. Trump and republicans responsible for the shutdown, 53 . Democrats, 29 . That is where we will start with the panel. With bring the men. The editor here at fox news, executive director of the georgetown and institute of pos politics. You heard tim kaine and mark warner talking about not spending taxpayer money for something that doesnt work. The democrats get their place . Heres a slump of money to the border patrol. You decide what to do with it as part of security. I think democrats have been pretty clear so far that they are not going to play with these federal workers at the negotiating trick. They want the government opened and they will talk about it. They been clear about it. They want a list of security, and approach to reform. They dont want to leave these federal workers in the lurch. So far the p. R. World, the American People are siding with them. I think that this question about who is to blame for the shutdown is the wrong question to be asking. The question that d. C. Is asking. Listen to the comment from tim kaine about the money, this is not about the money. This is about sending a message. He is saying, after two years of not dealing with this promise, the biggest promise that i made it im going to deal with this. The method from democratic leadership to their base as they will not show up in washington and have their first act be to bent over to the president. I think he needs more to the arguments. They believe that this wall is immoral because they not believe that borders are immoral or significant portion of their base does. Put them in that position. Lean into that argument more. This wisdom question about who is paying for it . You will not win that. Bret nancy pelosi use that ward, immoral. But it will work is that. The wall itself comes from a racist place. That seems like a pushback point, especially for the border stance. Democrats chuck and tearing to the beach in puerto rico, it would seem like it is a tailormade moments. Readymade for a coherent republican response. We do not get a coherent republican response. To your point, there are great avenues that republicans could befall length to keep pressure democrats, but i do not. We hear the same thing over and over again. There is a crisis of the border. Everybody agrees. Democrats at 1. 6 billion, republicans are at 5. 7 billion. No one has budged in either direction. The republicans havent come down and the democrats havent come up. Bret heres Lindsey Graham with the president s response. If the legislative path is closed come every day goes by it seems to be more closed. The only thing left for the president to do is to declare the emergency. I did reject it. Im not interested. I want to get it done, i dont want to delay it. Bret what is the path . Is there a point and how do we get from here to there . Does anybody know . I dont think anybody knows. At some point this will be untenable. This is a longer shutdown in american history. People are now getting zero on their pay stubs. People arent able to pay their rent and it is not just the federal workers, the contractors, the lines at airports. If that becomes institutionalized there will be a Pressure Point from which i think this even this president will not come back. There is no incentive to shift office. It will take a lot more time and a lot more pain before you have any willingness on the part to be their site budged. Bret he said it doesnt matter who is to blame, but is there a point where it tips . People say, where is the deal . There will be a moment when that happens, we are a long way off from that. Bret i want to quickly get to this russia story. The president vigorously pushing back on the stories about the fbi opening an investigation. Stan, i never worked for russia. Cannot just say how sick i am of the stories. The New York Times story was interesting, revelatory thing. The Washington Post was an interesting, revelatory thing. It is all out of boundaries on all sides. The take from no offense to peter baker, the lead of the story. When she asked donald trump, do you work for them . He didnt give them a straight answer. I dont think that was ambiguous. Hes been very clear that he is in a sense. We have so much expectation. Everyone is so ready for him at any fish that swims by, everybody says is the great white shark. We have to continue to pace ourselves and read a little bit here. Bret heres a bath and on abc over this weekend people were closest to what Robert Mueller has been doing, this report is almost certain to be anticlimatic. If you look at what the fbi was investigating in the New York Times report, look with your investigating. He did not go anywhere. Only bob mueller knows what he has. Only bob mueller knows when we are going to find out. The past couple the past week weve seen within a couple of fish. Theyre been pretty big fish at the end of the day we will know when we see it. I think we should give them all the space he needs to put together a conference of reports. Bret there is no indication that they are not going to do that. After years of this we have no evidence that the president trees loosely concluded with the russian government to obtain his election. If a mountain of evidence that the fbi and the doj had who acted. Because of the president s politics now your guarded russia. Imagine if we had the fbi investigating president obama after his comments with the flexibility. This is completely out of line. It should be something that should arouse a lot more concern on the parts of the people who want us to trust these institutions. These institutions need to be trusted. And furnace we have seen the president and Campaign Manager saying that he had some pretty interesting and remarkable relationships with the russians. It is more than him being a bad guy. The question is, is there evidence of the president s campaign colluding with the russians . There may be evidence right there. All im saying is that we wont know everything until the full report is done. The efforts by some to silence it saying it has taken too long let him have as much time as he needs. Bret my point is the administration is not saying that. Theyre letting it go. We see a lot of that. Next tab, new blood versus all blood and 20 20 in 2020 does this sound dismal . It isnt. Its the most wonderful life on earth. Sure i am talking about running for the president of United States. I am a candidate for president of United States of america. Have decided to run. Spent a lot of time in iowa. My message which is about prettiness terribly divided nation back together. I have to make sure i have grassroot support. If there is that i will run. People say joe biden is doing okay, he was always a 1 guy. Well see what happens. Bret the field is starting to take shape. Democratic candidates are potentially a lot of them as we get ready to hear all of their decisions. Whether they are running or not. Meanwhile the president is taking to twitter to control them. The best one, the pure catastrophe. Thank you for being here, im glad you were here. It is their house, he is supposed to be there. The president tweeting about that video from elizabeth warren. We are back with the panel. What are your thoughts on this race as it is warming . I think is going to be offering his color commentary throughout this entire process. Itll be fascinating to see that play out. I view the real contest here as being between all the democrats be antitrout. The question is if they will be antitrumped motor. And type peeling trumped voters. That is the key divide right now that is taking shape in the field. To try to win back some of those trumped voting people in the middle of the country . Do you write them off and not care about them. One of the most interesting developments, she is a younger version of bernie sanders. I dont know if she will take away significant support from hand. He seems committed to run. Again, the question of, do you appeal to those workingclass voters were to write them off . Bret was there a signal being sent to president obama saying, we need new blood. If anything that is a pretty stark message to joe biden. There is no question that the Democratic Party and large needs to embrace this new generation of up and comers and elevate them. Does that mean it needs to be at the top of the ticket . I dont know. The voters will decide. A lot of the primary voters will decide. It is interesting that therell be a number of different people. In urban versus rural. Generational divide, there will be gender divide. There will be generational. There will be all sorts of different things. All of them will be unified in their opposition to the president. What is the proactive message that they will offer . I think it will be bigger than any of those divides. He is coming out tomorrow on the late show on cbs. It is carting up right now. Now is the time you get grifters, weirdos, you have no chance he may be running for Vice President. Get in early. You get airtime, you that seen in them when it doesnt turn out, nobody cares. Bret under 20 candidates right now. Will go over 20, we will retrieve back under 20 pretty quickly. I think yes.

Bret the Clemson Tigers paying a visit to the white house. They won a national championship, the Football Game against alabama last week. President trump pulled out all the stops in the midst of this partial Government Shutdown.
