FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom With Bill Hemmer And Sandra Smith February 12, 2018

Complicated budget everyone will do. Tomorrow were going to be doing an update to our 2018 budget which we released in the spring in order to bring it in line with the spending deal passed last week. Last year in the 2018 budget we asked for some money for the wall. I think it was 1. 6 billion. Were asking for 3 billion this year. Were assuming in our 2018 proposal that a daca deal is done and border deal is funded. John roberts is live from the white house. Good morning. 11 30 this morning the office of management and budget will unveil the 20182019 which includes a massive infrastructure program. The president tweeting about that this morning saying it will be a big week for infrastructure after so stupidly spending 7 trillion in the middle east. It is time to start investing in our country. Give you the broad brush strokes. Its 1. 5 trillion in total. 200 billion of that will be money from the federal government, seed money, loan money. The white house pointing to the fact like programs like the transportation innovation act mean one federal dollar will generate 40 in project dollars and 50 billion for Rural Infrastructure in block grants to governors and streamline the permitting process to two years basically have one agency take the lead in permitting depending what kind of permit theyre looking for and changes to trade, education and licensing expending pell grants for twoyear programs and ahe lou licenses to be eligible across the country. A carpenter in california and want to get a job in new england you can transfer the license. In terms of the overall budget an additional 300 billion for the military over two years. 23 billion for Border Security which would hire 2750 Border Patrol agents and put 18 billion toward the wall over two years and 13 billion to fight the opioid epic. It cuts domestic programming quite dramatically to save 3 trillion over 10 years. Here is Mick Mulvaney on that yesterday. Take the money that the democrats want to put to the social programs and move it to things like infrastructure and opioid relief and things that are in line with the president s priorities so if it does get spent at least it gets spent in the right places. He has gone on to say the budget makes hard choices. Fund what we must and reduce what we borrow. The budget agreement reached last week is going to push the deficit for 2019 to over a trillion. Difficult to see where they are reducing borrowing. Sandra where are we with the memo . Adam schiff will take the memo back to the fbi. The white house was worried before it got the memo last week that he was going to fill it full of sources and methods things that had to be redacted or that would cause the president to reject it as what happened last week. The Ranking Member adam schiff of the House Intelligence Committee maintaining that the white house is trying to cover something up. Lets listen to what schiff said and the white house response. Listen here. Whats really going on here, major, is the president doesnt want the public to see the underlying facts. The president released the first memo because it didnt reveal sources and methods. This democrat memo does not keep american lives safe. It reveals Serious National Security information that could quite frankly put our lives at risk. The president is not going to do that. The president weighing in on twitter over the weekend writing the democrats said a very political and long response memo which they knew because of sources and methods and more would have to be heavily redacted and blame the white house for lack of transparency. Told them to redo and send back to proper form. Another issue the white house will have to address is what did it know and when did it know about rob porter, the former staff secretary who was forced to resign last week in a cloud of allegations of Domestic Abuse. The president certainly didnt help when he tweeted out peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old, some are new. There is no recovery for some falsely accused. Life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as due process . John kelly taking heat but even though he offered to resign is not going anywhere. Now it zeroing in on the white house counsel. He knew about this. He was warned about it to some degree by rob porter that in the f. B. I. Clearance investigation that his exwives were going to be saying things about him. According to the white house porter was not fully forthcoming to mcgahn in terms of what the extent of the allegations were and when the picture hit last wednesday it changed the whole equation. Sandra thanks for all the updates. Bill i think we have to take the show to the white house, sandra. Every day all day. Thank you, john. For more on the memo and budget proposal. Republican congresswoman from tennessee Marsha Blackburn and running for the u. S. Senate. Is there an honest daca deal to be had in this congress . I believe there is. I think the president has been more than generous. Im one of those that says lets begin with no amnesty at all. And then lets begin to work through this process. Secure the border, end chain migration. End the visa lottery system. Make certain we do those things so we dont circle back again and continue having this. Bill the path to citizenship you could vote for that. I said no amnesty. With the dreamers. There is a difference in dreamers and the daca enrollees. I think thats an important distinction. There should be some way to work through the issue with the dreamers. For some of these individuals that use the daca program to come to our country or theyre in gangs or Drug Trafficking or sex trafficking. Those are not individuals that need any sort of accommodation. Bill go back to the original premise. Could you do a deal that sees a path to citizenship for up to two million who are here if they clear the criteria youre spelling out . I would say find an accommodation for them but no amnesty. We cant have individuals get in the queue in front of individuals that have been legally working through this process for years. I know families that have spent every dollar theyve made, every dollar theyve saved and 10 years trying to get their citizenship through the local process. It is completely inappropriate for someone to get the queue in front of them. Bill topic two on the budget. Jim jordan was on Fox News Sunday and said the following. Heck yes, come on, when you get elected to do the right thing on immigration and you have a bill theyre talking about in the senate maybe passing. Thats not thats going to hurt i think turn out and people arent going to be pleased with that. Then when you increase spending 300 billion to grow government and run a trillion dollar deficit heck, that can hurt us. I voted for this because we have to fix the military, get them out from under the obamaera oppression that has just cut, cut, cut. 50 of the planes in the navy dont fly. At Fort Campbell in tennessee any constituents get parts from one to another to get it to fly. When you lose 80 of your troops in training accidents, you have to fix this. So you do have to fix the military. Do you like the increases that are there . Absolutely not. Are we going to come back and do reforms and rework entitlements . Absolutely and we ought to because you have to get the spending down and get to the point that we can have a balanced budget. Bill he is suggesting paul ryan is in trouble on the right. Is he . People want to see money spent appropriately. Cutting out waste, fraud and abuse is something ive worked on my entire career where the emphasis needs to be so we get the right amount of spending into the right components and i think director mulvaney is right when he says with the president s budget come back and look at making those spending reductions in the domestic side and in the entitlements so that you yield 3 trillion in savings. Bill two more topics. On the russian memo matter. It is hard to see a resolution to this soon. I think well get a resolution. Bill from where . The democrats seem to write a summary memo that gave specific sources and information. You cannot do that. You cannot reveal sources. And what you have to do is go back, redact that, and then pull it out. And then release it. I think both memos should be released so that the American People know what happened. Bill it seems the back and forth has no end. I tell you, its tough. Bill i think thats what most vehicles across america sees. There should be a zero tolerance policy for Domestic Abuse. Were going to see what the white house does with this this week. Zero tolerance. Bill Marsha Blackburn, thank you for your time. Im out of time for now. Thank you very much. Sandra fox news alert on a deadly Helicopter Crash in the grand canyon. Three People Killed saturday evening were british tourists on board the tour chopper when three other british tourists with other tourists when they crashed. Three were rescued including the pilot. Witnesses describing the scene. All of a sudden i saw smoke. People were gasping. There was one man and two ladies severely burned. The terrain where the crashed occurred is extremely rugged. It is only accessible by aircraft and our First Responders had a 20minute hike to get to the scene. Sandra tours over the grand canyon were suspended following the crash. Investigators are trying to determine the cause. Bill another alert. The conflict between two enemies heating up today. Israel issuing a stern warning to iran after air strikes in neighboring syria. Well talk to jack keane whether or not were on the brink of another war. Sandra plus Vice President pence. Bill democrats accused of playing politics to release their own fisa memo. Where is that today . Peter king is live when we come back. It was clear from the development of the democratic memo from the very beginning they packed it full of sources and methods. They said look, you need to make some redactions and technical corrections here and well get it out right away. Now, from that point weve heard nothing but cricket. Over the years, paul and i have met regularly with our ameriprise advisor. We plan for everything from retirement to college savings. Giving us the ability to add on for an important member of our family. Welcome home mom. With the right financial advisor, life can be brilliant. It was clear from the development of the democratic memo from the very beginning they packed it full of sources and methods. Their memo is sit pg at the House Intelligence Committee at the bottom of the capitol waiting to be redacted. If they wanted to get it out they would be down there yesterday getting it over to the white house so the public can know whats knit. We want the democratic memo out. Its ridiculous and very political how they attack myself and chairman gowdy. Bill he said a lot until adam schiff saying a lot. He wants americans to see whats in the memo. When will they see it . This man wants you to see it. Peter king, House Intel Committee. Good morning. Back up one moment. Youve seen the democratic memo. Was there anything in there that was offensive and gave away sources and methods, sir . There were a number of things in there. None of it changes the substance of the memo. I want the memo out but there are some indicators in there which would show our enemies how were tracking them. Different methods that we have. But that should be easy to take out without changing the substance of the memo. I want people to see the substance of the democratic memo. I stand with the republican memo. Nothing in the democratic memo disproves anything weve said. The fact is the democrats used or the f. B. I. Rather department of justice used a memo paid for by the political opposition to get the court to get a fisa memo. They dont show any underlying justification for the dossier. Bill a remarkable to see how much of a 180 you have with your colleagues on the democratic side. When we talk to you and we talk to others it is completely the opposite. Here is adam schiff. Ill ask you a specific question about this. Watch. The hypocrisy reaches out and grabs you by the throat. Here the republicans write a memo which the f. B. I. Quite accurately describes as misleading, omitting material facts. The department of justice says it would be reckless to release it. The president said ill release it 10000 percent. Bill i have a different question. Is adam schiff playing clean pool . Everything the republicans do is obstruction. Everything the democrats do is pure. He is misstating the fact. The f. B. I. Went through the republican memo with a fine tooth comb. They could not find anything that threatened National Security. One small issue on identifying someone. It was taken out. Nothing to do with the substance of the memo. The memo was released did not have one factual error and did not have any inaccuracy and did not reveal any sources, methods or threaten National Security. The f. B. I. And Justice Department did not want that memo to come out. They disagreed with the conclusion. There was nothing in the memo they could say is inaccurate. Adam is totally misleading and distorting the reality. Bill you dont think he is being honest about this. Do you stand by that . Not being honest on that. He is not being accurate. Maybe he believes it in his own mind. We have had any number of witnesses in before the Intelligence Committee and before you can take your last breath after the interrogation and questioning is over the democrats are at the microphone saying how the witness didnt answer questions and was misleading and has to be called back. I can tell you, ive been on the committee, listened to all the interviews and major witnesses. I havent heard one word yet showing collusion. All the democrats were talking about was all the sources and methods that we were disclosing. All of the National Security risks that were in our memo. When the f. B. I. Looked at it they couldnt find one. Adam wants their memo out now. Bill 15 seconds left here. I asked Marsha Blackburn this. I dont think the American People see a resolution to this. I dont know how much they care yet. Is there an end to this story . There has to be. It is interfering with the process of government and the president. I would say the same thing if it was a democratic president. This has to stop. Hopefully our investigation will be over soon. Hopefully bob mueller will be finishing his. I am confident there is no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign, between President Trump and the russians or anybody involved. If there is anything, its more cooperation between the russians and the clinton campaign. Bill peter king the republican from new york. Sandra new Surveillance Video of a deadly plane crash that killed all 71 people on board. The latest on the investigation into exactly what happened here. Plus new details coming in on the suspect behind the shooting deaths of two Police Officers this weekend. Whoooo. Looking for a hotel that fits. Your budget . Tripadvisor now searches over. 200 sites to find you the. Hotel you want at the lowest price. Grazi, gino find a price that fits. Tripadvisor. Bill a dramatic 911 call has been released from the wife of an accused cop killer. Two Police Officers were shot and killed in the city of westerville near columbus on saturday on saturday responding to a report on Domestic Abuse. This is the call to 911. Bill thats the wife of the alleged suspect. The suspect now hospitalized. A Prayer Service was held to honor the officers on sunday. President trump also sending his condolences to those in westerville. Sandra a potential breakthrough on diplomacy between the u. S. And north korea. A new interview with the Washington Post saying there is a chance for talks but you have to keep the pressure on pyongyang. No pressure comes off until theyre doing something the alliance believes represents a meaningful step toward denuclearization. The maximum Pressure Campaign will continue and intensify. If you want the talk, well talk. Greg palkot live from south korea with more on this. Thats right, sandra. After a weekend of korean olympic diplomacy some potential shifting to ease the tensions here. Yes, Vice President pence in that interview saying the talks between north and south korea, even been the north and u. S. Could be possible that he got assurances from south korea president moon that pressure would be maintained on north korea to rid it of nukes and missiles. A love fest between moon and kim jongun sister. They were together four different times including a concert sunday night. She extended that invitation to moon to come to pyongyang for a summit. The Vice President had a close but cool encounter with kim yo jong at friday nights opening ceremony. Athletes from the north are participating with those from the south. Sunday night found a protest against the souths efforts to turn these games into the peace olympics. It was small but it was symbolic of many here who are cautious about getting too close to the north. Sandra, our own experts are saying a possible shift on talks from the Vice President would be important but were already seeing other Trump Administration officials qualifying it. Not an easy road to piece. Back to you. Sandra thank you. A lot of people talking about the back and forth happening there this morning. Bill did you watch the olympics . Sandra i sure did. Bill i think social
