He would delete beach report and puerto rico amid the longest Government Shutdown and history. He and 30 plus democratic lawmakers spent the weekend there on an annual winter retreat. They were joined by 109 of their favorite lobbyists and corporate executives. Good evening, this is the story. The Washington Examiner puts it, that is 3. 6 lobbyists for each member of the house. The itinerary included a meeting with the governor, on business of course. A legitimate. All the meals were provided at this resort, theyll sweat free parties for the members and a special performance of the musical hamilton. The shutdown goes on. The longest in history, 25 days. The president wait and this i been here all weekend. A lot of the democrats were in puerto rico celebrating something. I dont know. Maybe they are celebrating the shutdown. Julio from the congressman who has some pretty important and interesting takes on this. First, rob schmitt is live in puerto rico with the back story on this event. Hey martha, beautiful puerto rico in january. Not a bad gig. More than three democrats as you said in their families flowed near on a private charter plane with a whole bunch of lobbyists. This is a winter retreat by Action Committee to lobby for more money for this troubled island. Puerto rico has had a lot of debt for a number of years now. That was exacerbated by that terrible hurricane in 2017 in september. A number of meetings took place over this long weekend, there was a lot of free time as possible. Evidence hereby the picture of bob menendez. He is their only beach, having a good time. That golden january 10. Today we cut up with the senator and he didnt want to talk to us. Check it out. Unit hours an end hours of meetings. I want to be fair. We had a whole number of these, all of them in the same place. A couple of them did want to talk to us. Jerry nadler was happy to defend the decision to come down to puerto rico and have a nice weekend admits the Government Shutdown. A lot of people would say, why are they being grieved by lobbyists on the beach when there is a Government Shutdown . I tell you what, it was documented, we allowed press to be there. We had a five hour hearing. Where presentations given to us by the governor of puerto rico and his team. We had mayors, big nonprofits who put their blood, sweat, and tears into helping people survive in puerto rico since hurricane maria. To the defense the democrats did have a lot of meetings, the day today was pretty parts. They had six meetings yesterday on a sunday. It was a busy schedule, but there was also free time. Now theyre off back to washington. Back to you. Martha thank you very much. Here now, geraldo rivera. Former pennsylvania government and former Democratic National chairman. Great to have both of you with us tonight. What you think about the puerto rico thing . Business or boondoggle . They want to puerto rico because that was the only way they could get into see hamilton which is sold out on hamilton. Martha its not that hard. The problem tesco puerto rico has some horrible problems left over from the hurricanes. The biggest problem is a systemic corruption and ineptitude of the power authority. If they were serious about trying to find the root causes of what is inflicting somewhat to make so much misery, that wouldve been a good place to start. Not at the beach or watching hamilton. He did a fabulous job. He raised 15 million. Martha he has raised the most 50 million per puerto rico. Heres a good luck. The president at the white house and he is saying, i am here, i am waiting. It is not that people dont understand these meetings are scheduled it doesnt look good. Given what is going on with the 800,000 federal workers. It is my decision, i would have postponed the trip. That is not exactly a boondoggle. The key factor here is, the house keeps passing bills that will open up different parts of the governments. Mitch mcconnell wouldnt let anybody vote on it. Why would anybody stick around . Speak martha that doesnt include border security. If you want people to cover the white house to negotiate. Those bills to include anything. Everybody is backed into corner and it doesnt go well with the American People. Let me ask you this. What do you think about the 5. 6 billion . What are you object to and that expenditure . The expenditure is small, i dont think you all will do anything. I like Lindsey Grahams proposal. We should reopen the government for three weeks. Or a month and try to negotiate. What we should do but try to make some progress on some of the other issues that are involving immigration erred by doing something once and for all by the dreamers. Giving them a path to citizenship. It is the president and Mitch Mcconnell if they could that the democrats will go. Martha nancy pelosi said she would discuss daka at all. You were in texas and he said he was surprised by what comprised the group there. It was very split. It is amazing martha, texas is an overwhelmingly latino city, hundred 50,000. It is not my opinion, the opinion of people on both sides of the issue that the town is split right down the middle, those who want the wall and those who are opposed. I have to say that in mcallen, texas, and one month construction will start on a border wall that is already funded. Some of the same democrats were opposed to negotiating for more atomic moral reasons, the funding for the wall , the 5. 6 billion already voted for last march and a spending bill. They voted on 84 miles of border wall. 25 miles will be on top of a of the rio grande. Construction will start next month. Wheres the morality now . It seems very disingenuous. Martha should they argue to have that taken down . Do not spend that money . This whole issue is red herring. If there are some places only border that lend itself to martha that is exactly what the president said. The democrats have every right to demand progress on some more important issues. 0. 6 million dreamers are suffering. More than the federal workers, more than the 800,000 federal workers. The federal workers will get paid by those dreamers if you care about them the president has indicated and given every that he will give them a path to legitimacy if the democrats support him or vacuum. Some kind of compromise on the wall. Pick a number martha lets get down to business here. Gentlemen, thank you very much. Great to see both of you. Martha my next gas as a freshman congressman along with about 70 other lawmakers, he is forgoing his salary until they figure this whole thing out. Reopen that part of the government. Dan crenshaw trends me now. Good to see you. What is your reaction to this puerto rico trip . A big deal or not . Its not that they had a lot of fun. [they been talking a lot about the flight that federal workers see themselves end. Theyre not wrong about that but if youll talk about that, i dont know if these excursions are the right way to handle tha that. We should be negotiating. Democrats had a 0 for any barrier on the border weeks ago and they are still at 0. That is not negotiating. The president s plan was initially along the border wall and he has come down to 230 miles of that. From 25 billion to about 5. 7 billion for any kind of physical barrier on the border. This is very reasonable. A mixed, holistic and what it is what we need to be doing. Martha if you are one of the new guys. Are people pressuring the rest of your party the rest of the Democratic Party and the of members on the health to say, lets come together. Lets shop every day and work on this until we can find some sort of deal . Absolutely. That is fundamentally what the American People want and what federal workers want were not getting paid right now. There is an airport near my district and a lot of tsa folks are not getting paid. It is what i wanted to forgo my pay. Understand what that is like. We need to negotiate on this. As a freshman class was to her to reach out to our freshman on the democratic side and said, what are you willing to give honest . Martha what did they say . We are not hearing much. It is the word, wall that triggers tom. Lets call it physical barrier, a fence. Martha you so that is silly . To semantics. Any security expert to look at this and say you need a holistic approach. Physical barriers are an obvious part of that. To mitigate the flow of people from point a to point b. You need drones and the sensors and simply says he simply cant put a physical period. We realize that. Martha everybody agrees and all that stuff. It makes it more apparent than ever to the American People. Lindsey graham suggested that maybe the president should put a deal to reopen the government for a few weeks but make it a short period of time. If you cant work it out, another shutdown. The president s holding firm, he doesnt want to do that. Do you agree with the president or with Lindsey Graham . I do live the reality. The president is not willing to budge, then he is not willing to budge. He has good reason. There is no indication that if we have another illusion that we would somehow get to an agreement and be able to negotiate some kind of funding for physical barriers. The president has a good point here. Martha if there is a suggestion that he might use some of the money that was allocated for puerto rico to build the wall. They are beating the bushes to find the money that has already been allocated. Would you approve of that . It is not what i want to see. If you can use puerto rico money, you can use eric and Harvey Relief pitcher is very important to us my district. What we would like to see democrats coming to the table. This is a highly reasonable solution. There is no reason why we cant solve this. They should not be something that the executives themselves have to solve. Martha im curious what it is like for you . He been there a few weeks. Are you disillusioned already or are you hopeful . How do you take all the sand . You were a navy seal, you dont mess around. You complete your mission, everybody get stuff done. That is how things should be here too. I didnt come here thinking it would be easy. I was mentally prepared for thi this. This is exactly why i came here in the first place. We are making right arguments. We would like her colleagues on the other side of the aisle to work with us. We are asking you to work with us. Lets hear some proposals we will counter back and that is how the government should run. Martha good luck with that. I mean it. Dan crenshaw, great to see you tonight. Could to see if. Thank you. Martha this is a picture with jamie cloth her aunt and her dog. Her alleged tormentor and a man believed to aborted her parents paid her to make his first court appearance. She knows what it is like to be held captive and she is a message for jamie, next. Ive made have been to and back, i am enough to walk with a smile on my face. God has a plan for all of us, the plan that he gave me was to help others. Others were banned in the same situation that i abandon voya helps them to and through retirement.

Oh, its a philadelphia family recipe. Can i see it . No. New philadelphia dips. So good, youll take all the credit. We dont know what she went through, but to survive it and beat him at his own game to survive and get out of there, wow. Martha wows rights. They now have jayme closs home after she was held captive in a dirty basement by a sick man for 88 days. The suspect, we saw for the first time today. Two counts of firstdegree homicide, the murder of her parents and one count of kidnapping. Jake patterson spotted the young teenager waiting for the school bus one morning and he decided she would be the girl that he would take. He plotted her objection according to what the prosecutors are saying, trying twice and then coming back a third time to her house when it was quiet in the moment was right. He held her in this room, this remote cabin scene here in photos. Until her magnificently brave escape last week. The case draws parallel to amanda berry and michelle knight, this story in cleveland. They spent nearly a decade as prisoners in the Cleveland House before they too managed to sound their courage and escape in 2013. Joining me now exclusively, michelle knight, the author of life after darkness. Thank you so much for being here tonight. It is good to have you. It is a pleasure. Martha first of all, your name was michelle knight. Why did you change it and how did you choose your new beautiful name . It was a new beginning, a journey to new life full of happiness and love. Martha how did you choose a name . Interesting. Peace police mean love and pure of heart. I love peace abilities martha you bake coffee that is a Charity Coffee to help women and girls who have suffered abuse. Remind everybody in the shorthand version, what happened to you . Shorthand version, oh, my gosh,. I went through 11 years of torture by a man that was my best friends father. I didnt know what was going to happen to me when i first walked into that house. I thought it was my best friends father giving me a ride home and little did i know i would spend 11 years and his house changed to the basement in multiple areas in his house. And being abused every single day of my life. Martha when you look at where jayme closs was, im sure brings back a lot of memories. What would you say to her and will you . I know you want to help women who have been through what youve been through. The time is right, will you reach out to her . Yes, i would be happy to reach out to her or her to reach out to me. I would love that tremendously. Martha give us the baby steps, she is home and thank go god. She has to get over the murder of her parents. According to the reports, she was hiding with her mother in the bathroom. She saw her mother murdered before she was dragged out. She has a tremendous amount to deal with. It is going to be a tremendous struggle. It is going to be really hard for her to cope with her parents being on now and not being able to give them a hug or tell them i love you. It is really difficult. I know her parents left her so much. They didnt deserve what they went through. Nobody ever does. For the people in her life to say, let her heal and to the things that she needs to do to make it a happy journey through her healing process, make sure that they dont push or make her talk. Let her talk on her own free will. She will come to them. She will be there with arms and ready to talk. Martha lillie, thank you. You are an inspiration and no one should have to go through what you went through. We thank god that you are alive and that she has a life and that you have an after to celebrate. Yes. When i first heard about this story, i was overwhelmed with tears of joy knowing that she is finally safe and back home with her family. Martha incredible. Not in the arms of the person who would hurt her. Martha great to see you. Thank you. Thank you. Martha tonight there are questions that are coming up against the New York Times and the bombshells this weekend. What exactly was new in them . What do they tell us about what abc now says may be an anticlimactic reports. G. O. P. Chairwoman, she is here on what exactly is going on, coming up next. People who were closest to what hes been doing, interacted with the special counsel, they counseled me that this will be a diplomatic anticlimactic. Lets see, aleve is proven better on pain than tylenol extra strength. And last longer with fewer pills. So why am i still thinking about this . Ill take aleve. Aleve. Proven better on pain. Because they let me to customize my insurance, and as a fitness junkie, i customize everything. Like my bike and my calves. Liberty mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. The whole thing is a hoax. It is a big hoax and very bad for a country. What happens with the fbi, ive been a Great Service for a country when i fired james comey. He was a bad cop and he was a dirty cop. He lied, he really lied. Martha strong words today from the president and new questions tonight with the two reports that work bombshells this that over the weekend. Both push and a narrative that President Trump may be a secret russian agent while simultaneously saying in the near times report in paragraph nine that no actual evidence had emerged to support that fbi concern. The reports in the New York Times and the Washington Post attributed to current and former u. S. Officials, largely traveled up the ground that we have seen in many of these stories in the past year. The fbi was outraged by james comey and the firing and they began digging deeper. Former trump lawyer, he talked to brian today and said that he thought the piece made the fbi look bad. Listen to this. They were all in it together. The whole crowd. They were out to get this president , no matter what. I dont think they sincerely believed anything. I think the New York Times article is the admission of their bad behavior. Martha rnc chairwoman, ronna mcdaniels. Thank you for coming into night and good to see you. What was your reaction . The other one is that the president went to Great Lengths to conceal his conversation with Vladimir Putin. He wanted the notes from the interpreter. First of all, john dowd, i completely agree with them. This article shows that the fbi has been out to get this president. There was no there there. Nobody has shown any collusion. It is Musical Chairs parted ofo be hurt as president . Collusion for russia, unfit for office, all something new. I dont want to talk about the result of what this president has done. Jobs, wages are up. Martha fret about the Vladimir Putin story. They wanted the interpreters. That seems a little weird. First of all the president has had multiple meetings with many World Leaders that have been off the record. He has had leaks. He doesnt want to have leaks from these important meetings. He needs to have the latitude to compete with these World Leaders and talk about issues of great importance. This administration has been incredibly tough on russia. More sanctions than the environment obama administration. They sold lethal offense to ukraine. Martha eliot engel came out to the subcommittee, it is ditching the terrorism subcommittee and instead it will be basically, investigative arms for trumpet relationships and foreign affairs. You have them saying, get to hit the ground running and not flying. I put that together with what john carl said but the potential that it could be an anticlimactic report. Her veil gear not because it does not what they thought it would be, give them more food to feed these investigations . Havent for bed they work on the fact of the American People. Youre feeling better, jobs are coming back. They want to spend the next two years investigating and obstructing the president. Lets hear that works for the American People. Martha what if people say, that is what republican said to Hillary Clinton . Benghazi was a serious issue. The pastor was killed without security and they called it something that happened because of the video. President trump has done nothing to that effect. He has been tough on russia and turned our economy around. He has strengthened our military. This is a president getting things done and democrats have done nothing for two years now they will do nothing for the next two years. Martha 2020, it is all coming at you. Thank you so much. Heres a good question. Do women belong in combat . The debate that is about to happen, you do not want to mess after this. And it really shows. With all that usaa offers take care of us.

Martha of the heated debate of woman on the combat field. Women have no place in combat units. Heres a quote. The obama era of integrating women into combat is a misguided social experiment that threatens military readiness and waste resources. The next defense secretary should end. Here is the author of that oped, have a mcdonalds. Author of the diversity of delusion and amber smith, a former army combat pilot with two tours in iraq and afghanistan and is now a fellow with the independent womens forum. Welcome to both of you and thank you for being here tonight. Amber, let me start with you. What is your gut reaction to hearing that quote from Heather Macdonald . I thought this oped was really bizarre. It was extremely out of touch with modern military and how much progress has been made with integrating women into these combat positions. In the post9 11 wars and terms of where women started serving and where they are today in terms of combat. I almost thought this was the victim blaming. She seemed to focus on everything some of the problems that are in the military have to do with the presence of women which is actually not true. When it comes down to it, this issue of women serving in combat has been romanticized, especially from people who oppose it. They act as though suddenly the infantry and special operations are going to have 50 of women serving in the ranks and that is not true. The percentage is going to be absolutely small. We are talking, one, two, three 45. It is all that will make it or even want to try out. This is and suddenly, there will be a split 50 50, men and women serving in these grounds. Martha heather, what is your response question works he said your piece is bizarre . What is bizarre is the idea that women and two ground units, caring massive amounts of equipment as a way to increase the lethality of the military. I dont think anybody but seriously put forth that proposition. This is about gender equity. Lots of men get that standard . Of course. We have not kept the standard as is in order to get women into ground combat. As soon as that order came down from obama secretary of defense, every branch started crafting chandra neutral standards which are changed standards. Heres an example. The infantry officer course in the marine has now changed its grueling combat endurance tests, that required officers to carry airy pounds for miles on and i to scale 80foot ropes. It used to be a pass or fail requirements. They have now changed it to an unscored exercise that is simply a bonding experience. It has no effect on your ultimate grade in the infantry. Martha i have to let amber response. Which is how it was prior to 2012. If i did massive attrition rate for that example that you just gave with the marines, with men as well. Most of these services have increased in terms of how difficult their physical fitness test are. The air force has already gone to Mission Specific physical fitness tests. The bottom line is that there has to be a mission standard, not a gender standard. We want the best person for the job, whether it is a man or women. Women should be able to try it if they want to serve their country and defend our national security, they should be able to do so. Martha we have to leave it there. It will destroy combat introducing attraction into these close units. That is ridiculous. Martha Heather Macdonald, thank you. Amber smith, thank you for your service. We will pick that up. Coming back, tonight, she sounded the alarm on ed puck after the first man turned up dead in his apartment. She predicted this would happen again. She is speaking out tonight against her own party, when we come back. I have. I never count trthe wrinkles. S. And i dont add up the years. But what i do count on, is staying happy and healthy.

Martha after a second man was found dead at the home democratic mega donor ed buck, my next guest sadly was not surprised at all. In fact she had said that it would happen. After the first suspicious death in 2017. She tweeted another young, black, man overdoses or worst dies at ed bucks apartment, it will be the fault of the Sheriff Department and the l. A. District attorney for not stopping him when they had the opportunity. Here now, jazzman, a democrat and political commentator. Thank you so much for coming on tonight. I say speak about this this morning and i was riveted, why did you know . What did you know when he sent out that warning . We knew after we found his journal and he had detailed in his journal, im told them its in my head right now. He detailed in his journal, how ed buck was a major donor, how this man had basically got him hooked on crystal meth and had injected him and got him addicted to it. It is a very sad journal, but it detailed his ordeal and when she went through with this man. After we published the journal, numerous young men started coming forward and saying, i know him. He did the same thing to me. This was my experience. We quickly identified a pattern. It was really clear what was going on. Clear to everyone i guess currently, the Sheriff Department and her attorney general, last year in july 2018, when they came back decided that they were not going to file any charges against ed buck, that is when i sent that tweet out. Regrettably, i did come true. A week ago today, and 55yearold black, . . . Man was found dead in ed bucks apartment. He said i become addicted to drugs and add ed buck as the o. He gave me his injection, i became addicted. That journal wasnt found by the police. Was it . No. It was not. It was on his and his belongings. The thing is, when he died they immediately classified it as her typical overdose, ed buck said i did know he was doing drugs and they closed the case within 48 hours. It wasnt until later we published this journal they were forced to open a homicide investigation. Myself, his mother and her attorney, we did most of the investigating. Not the sheriffs department. Martha will continue to follow the story. Thank you very much for being here. Coming up next, check graphically on the next big confirmation fight which starts tomorrow. Great news, Liberty Mutual customizes uh uh i deliver the news around here. Sources say Liberty Mutual customizes your Car Insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Over to you, logo. Liberty.

William barrs nomination and sparking controversy of the suggesting that he could interfere with the Mueller ProbeMueller Probe. He better give us some ironclad rockbottom assurances in terms of his independence and his ability to step back and let mueller finish the job. I would need a Firm Commitment that he does not allow any interference in the mueller investigation, he will release the report to the public. Martha fox news has attained a look at the testimony where he will state i believe it is vitally important for the special counsel to be allowed to complete his investigation. Senate Judiciary Committee member Chuck Grassley will be questioning mr. Barr, serving as that term and during the cavanaugh hearings and for many years. Senator grassley, it is great to see you this evening. Congratulations on your senate distinction which is what you will p, third in line for the president , right . Thank you very much, i appreciate the compliment and the honor and even the work that goes with it. Martha it is always a pleasure to have you here, let me get your thoughts as we move forward to the william bar testimony tomorrow morning, and i want to move to your colleague, senator Lindsey Graham, his comments on fox news sunday. Watch this pay do you see any reason to fire mr. Mueller on what you know now, do you trustm to be fair to the president in the country . Will you make sure that he can finish the job if you get the report, will you be as transparent as possible . Asking those questions, and i am very comfortable with the answers. Martha that will be the central debate tomorrow, senator. Well, that is absolutely right. I heard what the two or three democrats you had on here before you got me on. And what they are demanding of barr, he already shouldve satisfied them by the statements that he is going to make tomorrow in the Opening Statement already released that he said he is going to let it play out. And whats more assurance can he give to democrats that that is going to be the case . If that is the big thing that is holding up their support of him, he ought to be able to get through the senate like he did three other times in these earlier career moves to be attorney general and other positions within the wh Bush Administration he was approved unanimously. And he was praised by lahey, and now in the United States senate, and joe biden who was in the senate at that particular time. So it seems that he should have smooth sailing considering what democrats are demanding of him. Martha smooth sailing is not something that we see a lot in confirmation hearings these days, i want to play this from Alberto Gonzalez who served in the Bush Administration, and get your reaction to this, sir. Lets play it. He obviously wrote this memo to the department questioning the authority of the special counsel to investigate the president with relation to obstruction. That creates a appearance of possible bias and prejudice. If i am bill barr, im going to have a conversation with the career ethics officials at the department of justice and get their advice. Martha this is the same thing that we saw in one regard with the Kavanaugh Hearing where somebody has stated opinions on previous things prior to the confirmation process, but that they comment and argue that they comment the new position with fresh eyes and a fresh frame of reference given what the job demands of them. Well, i think, first of all, the concerns that are raised by this statement by gonzalez, and what he is presuming democrats are going to bring up ought to be answered by the previous discussion that you and i had. But you also have to remember that a lot of attorney general, or past attorney generals are called on for opinion. A lot of them do not wait until they are called upon, they give their opinion. He is giving it as a private citizen, he did not say in any way a president was immune from prosecution. If he did something wrong. I did not seem to hear that there was overprotection of the presidency, which barr is famous for. He just kind of laid out his opinion. What is wrong with making your opinion as a private citizen when you have taken an oath to uphold the constitution . Martha let me ask you one more quick question, with regards to the transparency issue, it will be the department of justice that decides what will be released. What are your feelings on that given all of the history over the past few years, do you believe that the American People should see the report in its entirety . Yes, absolutely, and i believe that barr has indicated that to other senators maybe even any statement that it ought to be. But i look at it from a fiscal standpoint. I think that we are spending 25 25 35 million on this investigation, we ought to know what happened with what we get for that 25 million or 35 million. Martha i think americans will judge based on that whether it was worth two years of investigation, that is an open question right now. We will see in the country will judge that when it comes forth. Senator grassley, always good to see you, sir. Thank you very much. We will be watching tomorrow. Thank you very much too. Martha that is the story on this monday night, the hearing for william bar will get underway, we will see you tomorrow night at 7 00, coming up next, senator colson ready to go, coming at you from d.
