Show at the White House Press doctor today. The president s doctor declaring that President Trump is in excellent health. But reporters spent an hour looking for anything to spin into fake news. We take all of our top story, tg possibility of a Government Shutdown. Congress has until friday at midnight to pass a spending bill. But republicans and democrats are so far apart on critical issues, including spending caps and immigration. Fox news chief correspondent mike emanuel is on capitol hill with our report. The oneyear anniversary of President Trumps inauguration could be markedded by a Government Shutdown. Democrats are pressing for a daca deal this week. I think it would be a terrible mistake to issues down the government and particularly why were negotiating in good faith. One way out would be a continuing resolution likely until mid february. Gauche yaishts are discussing whether to include a long term Childrens Health extension or Disaster Relief money to win support of nine democrats in this senate. This is no way to run a country, to continually have cliff hanger votes. I think were facing a shutdown this friday if we cant come to the architecture of a deal agreed to by leadership in the white house. Another short Term Extension would anchor the lawmakers. And this would be the fourth stopgap since last october 1st. We need to Reach Solutions for the sake of our military. Because our military leaders have warned us on the Armed Services committee that our Nations Defense is at stake. W but congress has struggledo reach an agreement with democrats demanding a similar increase in domestic priorities. We want a clean budget deal and i think a number of prominent democrats have come out saying they dont feel like attaching daca to the budget is a good idea. So hopefully well stick to that. Many republicans are betting democrats on the ballot in 2018 wont want to daca but tensions are up. David. Joining me now is ed roll, chairman of the great america. Last time there was a Government Shutdown 2013, that was followed by Midterm Election 2014 in which republicans increased their majority in the house. They got a majority in the senate and they wont two governorships. Is a shutdown all that baobvioue wheels, the president , the senate and the house. If we can shut down, it probably dont work well. This election coming up in 2018 theres a big dropoff between president ial election numbers and midterms. Its whose voters are intense. If the other sides voters are more intense than ours and they turn out, the possibility ask there to lose the house, not the senate but certainly the house. Thats what the democrats are betting on. They dont care about daca or the spending bill. They want donald trump to fail and fail miserably dd. So the democrats dont care about daca or a budget deal. They have one thing in mind and thats the Midterm Elections coming nine months from now. Theyve tried demeaning the tax bill. That faildz because weve seen examples of company after Company Giving out bonuses, raising salaries. They couldnt make the message stick that its bad for middle america. The economy is still booming. They cant convince america that the economy is bad. The only thing they seem to get traction on, certainly from the press, is that donald trump is an idiot or a crazy man and that was, that was belied when america saw one week ago then he opened the doors and saw him at the immigration debate. And then came the racism charge. I shouldnt say they dont care about daca. They do care about daca. But if they care, they would have. They care more about getting elected. Its truly about politics. And th i think the reality is to move immigration aside and make this about the budget priorities. We have to basically get a budget, we have to change the caps to get more defense spending in the budget and they want to offset that with domestic spending. Democrats want to spend more and they want to let more people in the country. Thats the difference between the democrats and the republicans. In this particular case, finish the budget and look at immigration from a big picture, not just the 700, 800,000 young people coming in under daca. What about the 14 million that are here. The democrats say unless daca is put in the budget were going to Government Shutdown. Well they do that and theyre making an issue out of something that shouldnt be an issue. We should argue that if you want to do that, then we get something in return too, which is the security of the borders. And trump basically argued aggressively on the campaign which he won that hes going to make the border more secure than its ever been. A wall real or symbolic, doesnt matter. The reality is thats the promises he made and thats the promises hes going to stick by. Lindsey graham said today he trusted senator durbin, racism charge after the meeting on thursday, saying that he believes durbin has the best interest of the country in mind. That he was happy at that meeting that took place a week ago where even cnn said the president did a good job. Do you really think that a democrat like durbin can be happy about President Trump succeeding at something . No, he cant. Hes the number two guy in the senate. Why is he saying that . Its part of the club. Lindsey graham has been all over the place. What happened to the meeting on thursday. General kelly, who knows more about immigration than anybody, both from military background and being the head of Homeland Security, looked at the offer that the democrats were making and saw there wasnt sufficient security. And President Trump said that on tuesday and all of the democrats agreed that we have to have good security as part of this immigration plan. But it wasnt shown on thursday. It was not shown on the budget. They were given really nothing. If youre going to go through all of the pain and anguish to change, you know, youve got to make sure you have the security. As i said to you before, 1986 we let the 2. 5 illegals we had an amnesty program, we didnt get the security at the end of the day. We have to get the Security First otherwise well have the same problem four or five years from now. What if the democrats say theres nothing in here about daca, were not going to be able to pass this budget and we have some kind of shutdown. Will it as the democrats fault. If the president goes to the country and says heres why i basically wouldnt give in on this, you said and i said when i ran, you said by your votes that you wanted a secure border and they wouldnt give me a secure border. Its going to be an exciting week. It is. Ed rollins. Good to see you. Were coming right back with much more. Stay with us.

David steve bannon refuse to answer certain questions in a closed door hearing. Speculation now turning on whether bannon could be held in contempt of congress if he continues to refuse to cooperate. Fox news chief intelligence correspondent katherine herige has our report. Fox news confirms that the subpoena was issued last week for steve bannon to appear for a grand jury because the fbi was initially unable to reach the former white house chief strategist and Trump Campaign chairman. Earlier today bannon alive on capitol hill to testify before the House Intelligence Committee behind closed door. A source with knowledge of the session said, the white house directed him not to answer questions about his time in the white house or during the transition. Democrats want answers by about the june 2016 meeting with that included the president s son, dacampaign manager. The committee took the unusual step of issuing a subpoena on the spot. Bannon still refused to answer questions but did not take the fifth telling lawmakers to resolve the impasse with white house lawyers. Late today the White House Press secretary defended thed fended. The advice. Weve been coopee throughout the process. Were going to continue to be cooperative. But were also going to maintain some of the executive privileges here at the white house that have been practiced for decades. The president s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski is expected in front of the same committee as early as tomorrow. David joining me is fox news legal analyst greg jarrett. What do you think about the comek tif privilege excuse . Is that legitimate . It is. The holder of the privilege is the president. Not bannon. What he can do and did do is say i wont answer. The white house instrukded him not to answer. And then Congress Moves to force him with a subpoena, then the president invoked executive privilege which is valid. Then he made a comment to a guy who wrote a book that he thought that the trump jr. Meeting was treasonist. What difference does it make about what he makes about that . His opinion is. Why uninformed . Treason only applies if youre at war. The United States is not at war with anybody right now. The president gave Nuclear Codes to Vladimir Putin and it wouldnt be treesennist. David that meeting in trump tower is perfectly permissible under federal law, the Campaign Election act, which says that you can meet with anybody, even Foreign Nationals in a campaign as long as money is not exchanged. So if hes a guy who has these illinformed opinions about things, why is mueller so anxious to get him . Hes interviewing everybody who currently works in the white house and used to work in the white house relevant to his probe. Its a fishing expedition to try to uncover any evidence if any can be had. And i suspect that nobody in the Trump White House has anything to say about trumprussian collusion. David meanwhile, the Russian Democratic party collusion story is the one that interests me quite a bit. And theres growing evidence that the trump dossier, put together by a bunch of russians and fusion gps which was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and sent around to the news media by the fbi, that it was used as an excuse for a fisa warrant to spy on the Trump Campaign. Explain. That is a crime. As i mentioned before, as long as no money is exchanged its perfectly legal to meet with a russian or any Foreign National in a campaign. They can actually volunteer. What you cant do is pay a Foreign National or a Foreign National cannot contribute to an american campaign. Here the dnc and Hillary ClintonCampaign Paid money to two Foreign Nationals and thats a violation of the law. Normally its a civil penalty. In egregious cases its a crime, a felony. And people have been prosecuted and put behind bars for it. These people need toob prosecuted for this. David would that include finding out whether the individuals we know were antitrump working at the fbi and the Justice Department were actively involved in trying to use those institutions to upset an election . It is certainly an abuse of power to the extent that these people were trying to upset the election by clearing the path for Hillary Clinton. That would be obstruction of justice because theres overwhelming evidence she committed crimes. David quickly on the immigration front. The department of Homeland Security is preparing to arrest apparently people involved with the sanctuary cities. Whats going on there . Ive been arguing this for two years. There is a federal criminal felony statute. 8usc1834 1834. If you harbor, shield or conceal somebody who is here illegally, its a crime punishable by five years. If somebody is seriously injured because of what you did in concealing the illegal ail general david or killed like kate steinle. If somebodys killed its life behind bars. If somebody is seriously injured its ten years behind bars. Its about time. Ive been urging for two years that the doj begin going of and criminally prosecuting these authorities in sanctuary cities. David does that include mayors . Mayors, sheriffs. The sheriff in Kate Steinles case should have been arrested and criminally charged under this statute. David what about our mayor, the mayor of new york city . Absolutely should be. Violating federal law. David thank you very much. Be sure to vote in tonights poll.
