As of now, the message back from its own party appears to be youre not the boss of us. It is a stunning reversal of events. Remember, just one year ago, democrats across the board slammed republicans, 2013 shut down. Calling them unhinged, and referring to them as hostage takers. With president obama leading the charge. The American People are not pawns in a political game. You dont get to demand ransom in exchange for keeping the government running. You dont get to demand ransom in exchange for keeping the economy running. You dont get to demand ransom for doing your mostbasic job. So pass a budget and the government shut down. Americans are tired of this knock down, drag out debt fight. The way is to set a sensible policy for regular order. Through dangerous hostage taking. Now, with only three days left, republicans are threatening a shut down this is the mostirresponsible way to negotiate a budget. Ed henry reports the breaking news. The situation here at the white house tonight because the shoe is on the other foot. You now have a small minority of democrats, not republicans threatening to blow this up. You have potential for a government shut down. Saying it is just under five minutes from now. And so that continuing resolution to keep the government open. House republicans think there are things in there that will hurt the middle class and upset about roll backs of wall street reforms and House Democrats championed. If this were to survive a vote in the house, you then have a second problem for the president which is a fellow democrat again this is why its a twofold revolt. In the senate, Elizabeth Warren saying shell hold all of this up so what i think is going on tonight is that this is the first big test post election of the president s juice he came out through his spokesman and said after much contemplation we want house and Senate Democrats to support this. Theyre revolting including nancy pelosi. Were told we have enough votes to show them never to do this again. Not talking about them being republicans but them being the white house. Theyre upset starting with nancy pelosi as the theyre trying to jam this down democrats throats. Other point is what is the president doing now . He was calling lawmakers earlier and now in a Christmas Party behind me. Someone said theyre out of line to take a photo and all of a sudden secret service shut down the line and said the president has to go take care of business he went into a room and just came back to take more photos. Not sure what happened in that room. Expecting to sort out what is next here. Latest from our producer is that they do not think this is going to pass. And thank you. Well get to nancy pelosi. Shes with those liberal democrats and against the white house. Really . Listen, what a difference a year makes back in 2013 Top Democrats were saying republicans have lost their minds. They were irrational. Those are the nice comments. And we heard democrats calling democrats unhinged and hostage takers. When they do it, its just fine. Chris stierwalt lives for this stuff. Chris . Well get to nancy pelosi in just a moment. This is hostage taking and ransom. This is not how democracy functions they learned and figured out that ted cruz and republicans that have been able to take a small number of members of congress and drive policy discussions by engaging in brinksmanship, they can do it, too. They told us they didnt like that. And told us senator cruz was crazy. Yes. Its now them and nancy pelosi says shes against it. She helped craft the deal and helped make the deal. Elizabeth warren is nancy pelosi comes out and says shes disappointed in this white house, that theyre going along with this. This is horrible. She crafted the deal. Crafted the deal. She does not care what she d shell say whatever she wants to say today. Shes a politician. Shes more unhinged than other politicians am i wrong . I dont have a richter scale. I have it here. And says they are constantly like that. So keep going. Shes reversed herself but the point is that these liberal dems are running from the deal and dont like other stuff but the real or kes straighter is not even in the house but in the senate. Tell us. The only potential real challenger, the closest ally of wall street in the National Political scene. So here is Elizabeth Warren. Turning the congress on a dime, on the issue of helping wall street. Right. She did not care what president obama wants. They dont care and theyve got marching orders from Elizabeth Warren who is pro shut down in this particular instance, leading the charge to get this thing shut down because that is what they think will happen if they cant get this thing passed. But Elizabeth Warren, youll be shocked to hear did not always feel this way about the possibility of a government shut down. Listen to her when it was republicans doing it. We can avoid a government shut down. Republicans have refused to do that. These threats may continue but theyre not working. And will never work because this is democracy. Hostage tactics are the last resort for those who cant win their fights through elections. Where this right wing minority hostage taking is all they have left. A last gasp of those who can v cannot cope with the realities of our democracy the time has come that those legislatures who cannot cope with reality of our democracy to get out of the way. Liz beth, hostage taking is all they have left. A last gasp for those who cant deal with reality. Oh. I bet youd like to have that line about winning elections back. And so there is a wall street and a host of things they have a nominee theyre far from satisfied from and their Party Just Got a spanking in november so theyre acting out i promise you this, counselor. If democrats act on this, if they push it over the brink, theyre going to have a test vote. Well see what happened thchl is a test vote to count the chickens. If they do this, can you imagine what parties will think and then forces a shut down . Drama is going to happen and we want him to update us in terms we can understand because its confusing but thing are falling apart there. The government is going to shut down and hes going to stay tuned and let us know. We may get word any moment now this bill is debt and a government shut down is potentially upon us. The minute there is news, well bring it to you. Nancy pelosi now saying they were never told about these enhanced interrogation techniques youll be shocked to learn there is evidence that that is not true. The cia says its a lie. And we have a kelly file investigation into the truth next. Ah, push it. Push it. P. Push it real good ow oooh baby baby. Baby baby. If youre saltnpepa, you tell people to push it. Push it real good. Its what you do. Ah. Push it. If you want to save fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Ah. Push it. Im pushing. Im pushing it real good if every driver in the u. S. Kept heres a qtheir cars you tires properly inflated, how many gallons of fuel could america save each year . Up to 2 billion gallons . 4 billion . 6 billion . The answer is. Up to 4 billion gallons. By keeping your tires properly inflated, you can increase your cars fuel economy and reduce its co2 emissions. Take the energy quiz round 2. Energy lives here. Dont settle for 4g lte coverage thats smaller or less reliable when only one network is americas largest and most reliable 4g lte network verizon.

And get a 150 bill credit for each smartphone you switch. Only on verizon. We are not, i repeat, were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used. That was thenspeaker of the house nancy pelosi back in 2009 flatout denying that she and her colleagues had been brief about the cias enhanced interrogation techniques put in place after september 11th, a claim the politifact website then investigated and rated as false as you see here. Claim the man in charge of the cias Interrogation Program is also on the record saying was false. You personally briefed nancy pelosi . I did. About enhanced interrogation . We briefed her on the fourth of september 2002 about the interrogation of abu techniques used on him. That Senate Report thats so quick to cast all the blame on the cia for these enhanced interrogation techniques, where exactly does it hold itself, the senate, its colleagues in the house accountable . John rizzo, who is acting general counsel of the cia with me tonight as well as republican congressman peter king member of the house Intelligence Committee. Congressman king, good to see you tonight. Nancy pelosi, Dianne Feinstein and others are quick to say the cia did bad things, bad things they didnt tell us about. And yet the cias own documents, contemporaneous records show that at the time in that initial briefing that was back in 2002 right after they had first used these methods on zubedah, they sat down and provided, i quote, a description of the enhanced techniques that have been employed which included waterboarding. Your take on whats going on here. Yes. Megyn, i was on the committee at that time, but ive spoken to a number of people who were and they all say the only response of the members on the Intelligence Committee was why isnt more being done . Nobody questioned what the cia was doing. No one doubted it. No one raised any human rights issues or any of the issues we hear about now. The emphasis at that time both on the Intelligence Committee and throughout the congress was to get as much information, do everything that was necessary and dont ask questions. Just make sure were not attacked again. That was the orders that were given to the Intelligence Community. When you look back and you see the statements, this is j. Rockefeller, a democrat, who talked about the capture of ksm in 2003. He came out and said we need to be very, very tough with him. We should consider shipping him to a country with no laws against torture. I mean, the revisionist history now by some of these democrats, oh, we just wanted to chat with him. We would have scolded the cia if only we had known. Megyn, this isnt just revisionist history. This is absolute hypocrisy. And john rizzo, who youre having on, is the expert of this. He was there. He saw it firsthand. I was down here in the congress at the time. I heard all that same talk. And now to hear them act as if they were just somehow innocent bystanders off to the side. The only criticism i ever heard in those days was that the Intelligence Community did not do enough before 9 11 and to make sure they never ever made that mistake again. And so all the pressure, all the emptous, all the mood of congress was for the cia and entire Intelligence Community to do everything possible. So i am disgusted by the hypocrisy today. And ill say every one of those cia people should get a medal for what they did. Congressman, good to see you, peter king. Joining me now former cia legal officer. John, good to see you tonight. So you heard mr. Rodriguez say specifically he briefed nancy pelosi and others. And the records show that briefing took place. Were you there at the time . Do you have an independent recollection of it . Yes, i was there at the time and have an independent recollection of it. The other point, megyn, this was not just a onetime briefing. Ms. Pelosi and her senior colleagues including senator rockefeller were repeated a number of times periodically as the program was unfolding. So if they were going to express objection, they had ample opportunity to do so. So Dianne Feinstein comes out now, she didnt get on these committees until 2006 which is when her briefing started. But she comes out as if we werent told, we werent told and its like she hasnt talked to her democratic colleagues who were told. Yeah, absolutely. Interesting the cia director in 2009 when pelosi made those statements was leon panetta, a close friend of pelosi, and even he couldnt let those comments stand. He repudiated basically on record what ms. Pelosi was saying. Leon panetta said theres no question that the Interrogation Program produced important, even critical intelligence. And yet today Dianne Feinstein and others are saying it is a fact that it did not. How are we at that place . Its somewhere between alice in wonderland and i dont know. Whats going on . How are the American People supposed to sort this out . Well, for one thing, they could read the detailed cia report. This was purely the democratic side of the senate Intelligence Committee. No one spoke with you. No one spoke with me. No one spoke with anybody at cia. Neither current nor former. Unique in my experience, megyn. 35 years in investigation in the cia ive never seen a Congressional Committee that refused to actually try to talk to the people whose activities are investigated. You want to find out what happened at a briefing or meeting, its helpful to speak with all the participants and not just nancy pelosi whos already been called a liar by politifact among others on this issue. Well, you should also speak to people before you trash them publicly, which is what has happened here. But the viewers need to understand this is a democrat report. It is not a republican report. Its not a bipartisan report. It is a democrat report about something that they apparently have a lot of guilt over. I dont think theyre feeling very good about having been effectively signed off on this program. But there are some issues on which they are standing on firm ground. In particular, you tell me if im wrong, the accusation that some individuals went beyond the authorizations that came from the department of justice and the briefings that were provided to congress. There were instances of rogue behavior by cia agents, were there not . Absolutely. This was not a perfectly run program. There were there was misconduct on the way. Occasionally. Not frequently. And cia selfreported itself to the department of justice reporting those abuses so the department of justice could investigate them. Mr. Rizzo, thank you for being here tonight. We appreciate your time. Thank you, megyn. Well, we also have some ugly emails leaked from hollywood tonight involving big donors and what they said behind closed doors about the president. Plus, a new twist in the drama over the Court Decisions in ferguson and staten island. And how some law students are getting their final exams postponed due to their existential worry.

If this dismiss they have time to come back do a resolution to keep the government from shutting down again, tomorrow. That is so washington. How much is needed again . Let me take a look. Okay. You bet. Well there is a dramatic story developing in hollywood tonight. Computer hackers leaked e mails from movie studio executives who are also some of the president s biggest donors and these e mails are shocking in what they say. Wonder why we didnt hear about this today . Trace ghallager has more from our west coast newsroom. Trace . It happened just before the president appeared at a hollywood fundraiser in november, 2013. The head of Sony Pictures and film producers were having a back and forth about what the president s favorite movies might be. The exchange began writing what should i ask the president at this stupid jeffrey breakfast . Being jeffrey castenberg. Respond would you like to finance some movies . I doubt it. Rudin apologized, saying quote, i made remarks that were made to be fun rebut in the cold light of day are in fact thoughtless and insensitive and not funny at all. And the content of my e mails were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who i am. If movies themselves are making progress, can the same be said for the people making the movie . Its unbelievable. And one wonders whether the same quote from the left, so quick to cry racism at every turn will hold these people to account for comments that went way beyond being insensitive and direct references to race. Moments ago, stierwalt reported the g. O. P. Now thinks it has the votes to save us from a government shut down after liberal democrats focus on this bipartisan budget deal. Apparently he was calling the wrong people. He should have been calling conservative republicans saying do you see how much they hate it . Come on over. And new fox polls out with a troubling report card for the country. Look. Racism is a issue in this country and has been for a long time. I dont know if its going to get better. It was improving. There is no doubt about that. Anyone denying that is not living in reality. But that wound has been opened again. Some is because of the submissive politics the white house is using. Ikely to go away. On its own. So lets do something about it. Premarin vaginal cream can help it provides estrogens to help rebuild vaginal tissue and make intercourse more comfortable.

By keeping your tires properly inflated, you can increase your cars fuel economy and reduce its co2 emissions. Take the energy quiz round 2. Energy lives here. From the World Headquarters of fox news, its the kelly file with megyn kelly. New developments tonight on the issues of race, politics and criminal justice as we track the ongoing fallout after the ferguson and new york grand jury decisions. Today a number of congressional staffers walked out of work to show solidarity with the people protesting those decisions. They joined together on the steps of the house raising their hands, as you see here, in the hands up dont shoot gesture made popular by those in ferguson, missouri. All this as tonight fox News Releases a new poll showing 62 of voters believe that Race Relations have gotten worse since barack obama became president. Joining me now david clarke, the sheriff of milwaukee county. Good to see you tonight. So 62 of americans believe that. And when you break it down, white and black, how Race Relations have done, 65 of whites believe that 55 of africanamericans believe that Race Relations have gotten worse. Are they right . Of course theyre right. He built that. Remember that statement, he didnt build that. It was a wound building for a number of decades i should say and he reopened it with his di visive comments. President obama has secured two successive electoral victories for the white house, but its been very destructive for america. Who would have thought that after the election of the first black president in the history of the United States that we would need a period of reconstruction to try to put this country back together . What specifically do you feel hes done or not done . Well, hes taken sides in issues. Hes fanned those flames. And it started back at the gates situation. Remember when he talked about how the police acted stupidly and that insinuated that the police were engaged in some sort of racial profiling investigating that. Like i said, instead of sorry go ahead. Instead of taking a more neutral tone and trying to get people to stay calm about this matter he fanned those flames. This was a chance for barack obama to have a gettysburg address moment where he could have asked the country to come back together and heal. And instead all we get out of him is being president. Do you think its the president himself . Or do you think its those with whom he surrounds himself . People like eric holder and so on . Well, its all of them. But, you know, hes at the top. And when the president speaks, people listen. He has to choose his words carefully. And he didnt do that when he made the police all across america a whipping post and painted them as bloodthirsty and engaging in racial profiling. He acknowledges the sacrifice made by Police Officers and the fact they have the right to return home alive. Well, you know, he said the other day that he blamed bad training and also said this fear of people that dont look like them when he was referring to the police. I thought that was disgusting. While he may throw a few bones in there, if you will, to try to smooth things out. People know what hes doing. I said a couple weeks ago, he does this stuff with a wink and a nod. What do you make of the fact we have congressional staffers walking out, basketball players walking out, Football Players walking out with the hands up dont shoot. Im not going to go so far as to say thats been disproven in ferguson, but at a minimum theres been very strong testimony that that is not at all what happened including by africanamerican witnesses who say thats not what happened. In the meantime we just did a story about two bigshot hollywood producers attending a big fundraiser for our first africanamerican president. And behind the scenes before they get there theyre talking about what movies he would like, oh, its all black movies. Thats not people arent standing up and yelling about that kind of what appears to be actual racism or racist comments. I wont accuse them of being racist, but the comments, versus a situation that is very ambiguous. Your thoughts on it. Well, tasteless. And of course people on the left get away with it. But thats who they really are. They were exposed for who they really are. Eric holder says were cowards when it comes to talking about race. Im not. Im ready to talk. Were now punishing people for sins they didnt commit. At some point, and ive done this with myself, ive forgiven and ive moved on. Ive stamped that bill marked for the wrongs of slavery paid in full. This country is now open for opportunities for all people. Instances of discrimination and racism had to go underground. Okay, its been uprooted. The president of the United States said a couple days ago that they were deep rooted. And thats simply not true. So we have to have that discussion as to when were going to really be ready to move on and forgive people, especially people today who have no connection to whats being talked about anyway. Sheriff clarke, always interesting to get your perspective. Thanks for being here, sir. Thank you, megyn. Theres a new twist over the drama in the Court Decisions in ferguson and staten island. And now some law students are getting their exams postponed and we have the explanation. Wait until you hear what they are saying. Plus, breaking news from washington next.

Abandon the president because of their anger. He urged his fellow democrats to support this. In large numbers they said no to the president of their party in large numbers republicans who earlier resisted this, conservatives said look. Lets move forward on this. Because remember, where is Elizabeth Warren, said shes going to hold this up. Will she hold it up . Well see. Will she call herself a hostage taker if she does . Ed, thank you. Grand injuries determined officers should face no charges joining me now is dr. Daniel bober, child psychiatrist. Pete, i did not know that in addition to serving three combat tours of duty you went to princeton and harvard . I did. Its impressive. And did you have to postpone your exams due to obvious threats you must have been under in the program and whatever youre doing . Lots of stress and difficulty. No. I was at princeton during slenl and i didnt get bereavement. I know about the ivy league bubble world there is naval gazing and feeling with Adult Children that want to be coddled in their beliefs tell that to the soldier who saw their buddy killed or kids born while theyre overseas they did this job no matter what. To delay an exam because of feelings is the typical fawning over liberal elite the way these academic institutions love to do. How is this anything other than absurd . Megyn, i disagree with you. There is precedent for this. In 1970 the faculty at harvard voted to delay exams because of antiwar protestors. You cant justify a harvard . Harvard is these events affect people differently the minority community, theyre disillusioned its what we call in psychological literature learned helplessness f they want extra time for exams, i think they should get it and i think its interlem twablly dishonest to say they should be compared to a Different Group of people. People experience trauma in different ways. Do you these these traumatized young law students should be giving continuances . Because things happen a lot and it can happen to you the judge will tell you if you say i cant go on, hell say give me your law license. These events have historic pro portions we have to be sensitive. Do you know what . That sensitivity is making these folks have this learned vict victimization. What better way to celebrate the constitution by allowing people to engage in civic activism. On your own time, pete. Im learning being helpless listening to this basketball because i was part of a protest or saw a protest, i cant take a test . I understand things are difficult, weve seen difficult things but what a pathetic excuse that were saying im so traumatized and coddled such an adult child at a coddled Ivy League University i cant write an essay because ive been offended by something im watching on tv. I understand, these are difficult things. On my Facebook Page i was getting messages from mothers say do you know what . What if i took a day off when i have a trauma. There are people with deaths in the country and they continue to do their job. In america we have grit and have responsibilities. Everyone is different. That is the whole point. Every time we got hit by ied, what the soldiers say im good. I wont do this anymore. I dont know you can make a complete comparison like that, but the point is that Different Things affect people differently. Sometimes, people need more than others i thank you for y your service you cant exactly say that these minority students are lazy and shishging their responsibilities. I didnt say that. No one is saying theyre lazy. The ivy league is the best of the best. If youre best with the best you need to be trained in adversity the fact were coddling them shows these institutions are incapable they should get an asterisk on the diploma and tell anyone who wants to hire them, in cases of trauma, i might not be able to go into court and do what youre paying me to do.

Last night reverend Franklin Graham was here talking about what he called the growing hostility towards christians in america including the christmas holiday. From Christmas Carols banned to schools and banners popping up. Replacing the Christmas Season with sparkle days. Pittsburgh saw the error of its ways a long time ago and sparkle days alas are no more. Sorry for that pittsburgh, and merry christmas. And now to the second part of my interview with the reverend about growing reports of christians being killed for their faith in the middle east. So theres a report that christians are the most religiously persecuted minority in the world. This is something Prince Charles spoke out about. Do you think our president should be more vocal . You once said president obama in your view had given some religions like islam a pass. Do you think he should be a more forceful advocates for christians . Absolutely. Youve got an american pastor in prison in iran. Hes in jail because he believes in jesus christ. And hes put his faith and trust in him. And the iranians have locked him up and given him an eightyear prison sentence because of his faith. And this goes against international law, this goes against the u. N. Charter. The iranians have violated all this. But hes an american citizen and he should be demanding from the iranians to have him released. Hes there for no other reason other than his faith. You take the persecution of the christians in egypt, take the persecution of the christians in syria and in iraq that we have seen with isis you know were now engaged in a war over there. The president is taking some action. He is. But the christians are being slaughtered. Listen, this storm was coming last year as isis was building. And everyone knew it. I have people that work there and they saw it coming. Certainly the cia and everyone else knew it, the white house knew it. And he called them Junior League or something jayvee. Yeah. So its there. Christians are not only being targeted but they are being butchered. The women are usually raped by the soldiers. The men are shot or beheaded in front of their families. This takes place everyday. Its as bad as you can imagine. The vicker said four iraqi children were beheaded for refusing to convert from islam and they said no, we love jesus. Something similar with miriam. Refusing to denounce her christian faith. But in those circumstances should christians consider saying what the enemy wants them to say to preserve life . No. No. I think we take a stand for our faith. Christians have been martyred going all the way back to the romans when they fed them to the lions. We would be betraying every person who stood for their faith, who stood for jesus christ if we turned our back on christ. Reverend Franklin Graham, thank for being here. Thank you. All the best.
