Hunt. U. S. District court judge is now ordering Robert Mueller to handover his secret documents related to the questioning of Michael Flynn. Even your young son has been brought into this at times. Should be missed, and i protect him and i want to give him the child he deserves. Friday december 14th. Were just about ten days away from christmas eve. Welcome aboard folks a busy three hour telecast prepared just for you. Video of our Christmas Party from yesterday. [laughter] it was karaoke should be scary. Exclusive video. We also have another exclusive will as good Homeland Security secretary will be on our couch. Changing the subject because to get everybody singing i know that your favorite art fist is billy joel. So i said brian lets sing a song by billy joel. What was your mistake, though, asking you if you would sing . Second mistake. We knew you doesnt dance and didnt sing too. You have to stay in your lane in life other thing is you picked which song. Which song. Up town girl. Bad memories when they broke up and not the same as when kristy and billy joel broke up. Didnt sing because they broke up. It hurt theyre girlfriends. Pick another song and sing it at 6 30. The concerts and she was on front row and she was singing it to her and camera zoomed in on her and she was watching her for the rest of the show. We have highlights from our big Christmas Party yesterday. You guy at 6 30. You parties i was trying to d this eminent Government Shutdown. You were at the bar sorry about that. Vodka in your hand with the shutdown. Is anyone going to let me transition . No. Theres no clear transition we should start from scratch. All right next week a shutdown thanks for joining us. No. Theres a war for the border wall and the president is doubling tripling dun and nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer are playing ball, in fact, the president talked about this last i thought new because hes frustrated because he knows this is a liberal against conservative he knows this is what they used to think posessed to what they think now because we know Chuck Schumer and barack obama and bill clinton and harry reid all came through and Hillary Clinton all weighed in. They believe in Border Security and border barrier. President likes to tweet and yesterday was different than what he normally does accusing democrats of being hypocrites by using their own words. Watch this. Democrats are absolute hypocrites. All along theyve been supporting walls and supporting fences and supporting all sorts of Border Security. Illegal immigration is wrong. Plain and simple. I voted and numerous times when i was a senator to spend money to build a a barrier to try to prevent Illegal Immigrants from coming in. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected undocumented, unchecked, the fact is theyve always deported fences and walls and partitions but you know what they dont want to do it because of me. Back in 2006. With a republican held congress, that all of those democrats said they would sign and, in fact, voted for the u. S. Mexico secure fence act it passed 8019. It would have built 700 miles of double fencing along u. S. Border. It was never built. So that brings us to today. After we saw the president on i believe it was tuesday. I mean he made very clear when nancy pelosi said it would never get out of the house. House leaders say we can get it out of the house. The problem is the senate. However, if they have the vote, paul ryan who is of the opinion well if we have votes were going to vote on it he doesnt have votes. He also has a problem because after this little fiveday off that they have right now 20 members of congress are not coming back on republican side. Because they lost their job on november leanings other ten because it is christmas time and theyre going to stay home with their family so operating a 20 vote deficit. Congress pass a bill by end of the year so we have a week left. They said last night they have 270 in attendance people who left feared so not close to the 4 30 they need 237 we used to get a vote in. So they cant get the five billion out of the house mostly symbolic to not get 60 votes in the senate so nancy pelosi is right in that respect and theres as we speculated on monday before the blowup in oval office on tuesday wheres the president s leverage on this . Do republicans let them out dry for last two years . I dont see the leverage. Heres nancy pelosi last night. Have government closed forever . I mean, with whats this about . I know he doesnt believe in government i know he doesnt know that much about what is at risk to shut it down. But ting that it would be, lets not talk about what might happen. I think that president s leverage is the average american a majority of americans want strong Border Security, and they like many of them like particularly of his face like the idea willing to stand up for the wall. Hes willing to shut down a quarter of the federal government and furlough hundreds of thousands of federal employees to get the the wall. For him that is worth it. Our government spends so much money on different stuff, what is five billion to them . If the president ments 5 billion they want to give him 1. 3 billion thats still money to go to the wall. Thats not a win. Not the compromise he wants. I dont know where he goes from here. Meanwhile kirsten will be later and in the brawl at the oval office one of the thing i they brought up president is saying were catching terrorist there is and were going to share kirsten neil son will tell us whichment wills are crossing in at the border and indeed at stage and those numbers are held until she comes so to reare cap it looks as if theyre at a impasse with shortterm budget of the United States government. And there will probably be a shutdown coming up very shortly in the mean tile a deadline at 3 00 this afternoon Emmet Sullivan ordered Robert Mueller team turn over government 2k789s and memorandum you have regarding the interview that peter strzok, the fbi agent and another agent had in the situation room at the white house with Michael Flynn. Apparently andy mccabe yowrm him director of the fbi he called up flynn and said listen, this is going to take a long time if we involve lawyers from department of justice to the white House Counsel. So how about i send a couple of guys over to ask you questions about this russia thing . He said mr. Flynn said okay, and that is what got mr. Flynn in trouble. So two agents arrive, and they start questioning him. At which time they said did you meet with ambassador he talked about sanctions he said no. They didnt remember and didnt believe in the report written seven months later they department believe he was lying. They believe they didnt remember it and seven months later the sign is, they 302 they talked about this meeting how are you supposed to remember what took place and one thing they did is we felt as if we told him you could have a lawyer it would hurt the repore we were building with Michael Flynn to drop your defenses. He said, mr. Mccabe said you know it will take too long this is not a big deal send guys over within two hours he was in the situation room sitting down with mr. Fired because of antitrump boys and set up by mr. Mccabe fired for lying about leaks. It is not recommended it that he that he gets any jail time because what he did comey admitted in that interview a few days ago or week ago he said, when he was sitting on stage he said we broke protocol we didnt do it the way we normally dog and unconventional way because we took advantage of mr. Trump and his administration and we with come to talk to you. Does anyone else have a problem with that if fbi calls you and tay tock you you want to get a lawyer. Well you would think so jim jordan says, though, there is something behind all of this. Theyre just out to get the president. When you say you got away with something you didnt the right way. Theyre so focused on getting President Trump that they were willing to set up a lieutenant general. A guy who served our country as you said 33 years mike flynn ran Defense Intelligence agency he had to know his conversations were being listened to and were being monitored theres no reason for him to Say Something that wasnt true. He just got caught because he didnt know they were setting him up like they did so judge sullivan demanding documents is exactly what needs to happen. Tfnlgt that is great and they have a great reputation and says i have dealt with him before hes a great guy bit book and make Mueller Probe come up with documents or delay the entire thing when president sat down with him he made a mistake, obviously, Everybody Knows it, and hiring Michael Cohen he did go out again and hope hes not winging because so much is at stake legally i never told Michael Cohen to do anything illegal. That would be to pay off these women. Im just saying as edward writes today robert mol whether you love him or not put together a team. The president has to get together and in a legal a team it doesnt matter if you as were seeing with Michael Flynn situation if youre innocent or guilty, this is tactics and one of the tactics got Michael Flynn and president wing withing it at this level, against the the men and women is a huge mistake if, in fact, he is. Hes got to get that a team together. Remember it was to find russia collusion they havent found any of that along the the way they found Michael Cohen stuff and your right but this is where theyre at. Absolutely it is. And it all goes back to Jeff Sessions because headtohead to recuse himself they have to then . Awl a special counsel at this suggestion and mr. Comey by leaking that stuff. What a tangled web. Michael cohen outsmarted and raid is off and yielded all type of problems for the trump organization. President also in that interview with harris yesterday said that special counsel was trying to scare Michael Flynn into lying thats why they sent agents to talk to him. Out of representation. So much going on in washington, d. C. , and everywhere else, and with more julian joins us. Chtion lets start with a fox news alert shot and killed when a routine traffic stop turns violent. The suspect shooting the officer in the head while he ran from his car into georgia. He also shot and wounded a canine before killed in a shootout with police. The fallen officer was with the department for less than two years. His brothers in tears outside the hospital. This is the 46th officer shot and killed in the line of duty this year.

Theres enough evidence to warrant Serious Investigation of the Clinton Foundation and theres evidence that in addition to this, that the Clinton Foundation investigations that may have been taking place during the Obama Administration were suppressed by the Justice Department. House republicans exam new examinations to pay to play for Hillary Clinton was secretary of state here with more of his testimony is tom. Tom whats new about this . Is well whats new is that congress is actually doing a hearing on Clinton Foundation. Many of these allegations came up as a result of judicial watches freedom information and expose secret email system. Showing that you have these pay to play afnghts taking place in august of 2016. And then yesterdays hearing saw new witnesses come forward who would pursue a separate investigation. Theyve talked to insiders at the Clinton Foundation who have raised concerns about the way it was run, and also that the Justice Department at least is asked for the information that theyve gathered i dont know if that means much in the end you kind of see whats happening here. You have the Justice Department ambushing general flynn, while as been highlighted repeatedly same Justice Department making sure that fbi wasnt investigating the Clinton Foundation in any serious way. Number one when she lost power and when she lost the election man did Clinton Foundation pay the price. They are in 62. 9 Million Dollars in 2016 they raised it i should say. In 2017, that went down to 26. 6. Thats a 58 decrease well it is logical some would say because she lost power and she lost leverage so what do you say to people shes out of power that lost a little bit of momentum. Well, she a, isnt out of power in sense that shes still a political figure. But i would be interested to know where the drop in donations came off was it the foreign governments that were supplying money to Clinton Foundation during her tenure at the state department it they stop giving because they didnt see an interest in doing so anymore . It is just a further indication that Clinton Foundation was influence factory and a platform for the clinton brand to allow her to run for president and the public corruption angle will is you have more money like russian it is trying to get a result on iranian one decision and other Foundation Donors with passes with foreign and domestic to get favors from clinton state department. The state department ought to be looking at what happen went on and Justice Department ought to be looking at what goes on and doj and if i, and a it is frankly shameful they have to carry a mode on our shoulders. All you that started clinton cash talk with peter and steve bannon and then you built and got into detail but Jeff Sessions had no interest see if william barr will if he, in fact, gets okayed. Tom always a great talking to you. Thanks so much. Have a great christmas too. Coming up straight ahead on this show, emily gets gets her dream come true. She gets in that car really are fast.

Shot of the morning here you go. There aingt no party like a fox and Friends Party might have been our finest ever. Yesterday we celebrated our annual Christmas Party with some karaoke. We have a party every christmas. S that the only part we knew up town girl. Got words up there. Even our own pete hanks and henry grabbed microphones and sang this it shall everybody is working for the weekend. And then brian sang this. Nothing thats right. Nothing. Refused to partake. You and ed were brilliant in turning it into a big promo for fox and for everybody everybody is working for the weekend. I didnt memorize the script. Nothing but the chorus but rest of it. Did you have to have liquid courage . Make sure we were ready to go and ed didnt want to do it but then he got into it. You know, can i e tell the story . He was our added owe guy as we know, he comes up to me at the party he goes ainsley dont sing. I said, i know im worst ever but i have fun doing it. He said when you sing on set when we have a band on, do you know i cut your mic . Wow. [laughter] so it is funny one of my good friends it was funny i thought i really appreciate my appearance because they neverred told me hw bad i was. Later on about in the evening may have sang it. I left at a 2 00 in the afternoon not the evening. An about hour later. We sang sweet home alabama. A bunch of us. Our chance to say thank you to all who work on fox friends because they get up in the middle of the night and do show that you watch every day and thanks to crew behind and in front of the cameras at fox. We should to it every week it is so fun i love everyone works with us. Just a great crew. Great way to celebrate. We have a news channel lets talk about news pete our headline it was the war at the southern border in congress about fund about the president s wall. Now we know that some of the troops that he ordered to our southern border in last couple of months going home. Going home in next couple of weeks so they were the troops coming home are on border mission, with headquarters at tight they were about 5900 almost 6,000 troops taking way 1700 troops so you have over 4,000 troops on the border which is way more than barack obama ever had so put up barbed wire. They put it up and a lot of temporary structures you saw it prom down there in tijuana but they work for a while if youre oversee them but no replacement for a 30foot border wall what president is calling for so a temporary measure bigger than what obama did but bringing some home see what happens after that. As Lindsey Graham brought up yesterday right now theres no plan to have military build a wall if president brought up he said listen we gave Homeland Security money for a reason and pentagon for a reason. I feel we didnt have a choice. But you feel bad that you have that 700 billion dollar it is and were putting in you have to put it in our own country with our own military instead of of taken our challenges in middle east and russia and everywhere else. Smg it is true but what priority is bigger than security here. Border security is National Security fighting them here so they cant come here no doubt about it. Things that we have done isis but if you look at portion of that border it is jawing to me to watch coverage at fox and fox nation if you shake enough on the aluminum or or just this far underneath this is not an actual hardened border thats why this debate for this president i think is such a good one for him because democrats used to be there because they have to tailor to left wing so much theyre not anymore it is a bad contract. There is a Government Shutdown and who will blink first . Will it be in thes that say were going give you two billion dollars a 3 billion dollars or president is saying, you know what, maybe pill get it in next congress. But president said it is on me. He said trump said that. Therefore it becomes a border shutdown it is about i want to secure border. You dont. This is a chance to do so ive given you other chances before and said i would not do it again heres my standoff so i think it is good that he owned it. Fox and Friends Weekend show the musical or book guests . Every once in a while we work guests. You had a duo i believe ed and i through this weekend so a great weekend. Did a deep dive into walls did they work did they not work especially in israel. A place where theyve been used not just to stop illegal immigration but terrorism. You were just there. I was just there. I think you saw the debate. President trump Chuck Schumer walls work. Walls arent needed well thats a question you can look at and actually answer and ive got an opinion and few other people do too and were going to ask them about that. Very exciting were watching. Well be watching we would like you to call in brian. I listen every time i dont listen but i was on. Were watching all eight hours. Ill be quiz you on it. I did see jillian at the Christmas Party last night too. She ignored me completely. Not nice brian. Get you caught up on headlines a criminal investigation is reportedly underway into spending for President Trumps inauguration. According to the wall street journal, federal prosecutors want to know if donors gave the Committee Money and hopes of getting access to administration. Press secretary Sarah Sanders says nothing to do with the president. The president was focused on the transition and building out a new government and preparing to take office. The role that had the president had in inaugust rage was to raise his hand and take oath i would say plan b but more like e, or f to take this president down. Inauguration committee raised a record 107 Million Dollars. It claims it is not aware of an investigation. We rarely catch a glimpse of President Trump youngest son barron in exclusive interview news interview First Lady Melania Trump explains why.

We have invited the nations a great nations newly elected governors, and some really terrific people that are doing a wonderful job. We have some real stars in the room. And theyve became star ises because of the way they handled themselves. There were 12 governors elect from both parties there. One of the new governors ron desantis overcame heated race and twoweek long recount in florida joins us right now live from tallahassee governor elect good morning to you. Good morning steve. Good to have you on the program so what were your concerns for the president . Well, one, hes been great with with panhandle reconstruction and we want to keep that on the front burner a he pledges including military post for us. But then also and you know this, steve for a time in florida weve had problems with some of these toxic algae bloom and feeding into thing it is like red tide and theres federal projects involving the army corps that are involved in that. And he pledge support to help but he wants to get that going that was music to my ears. Thing is that president was interested in helping all of these states regardless of whether governors were republican or democrat things like infrastructure, things Like Fighting pengtal all a of the thing hads that are very important so i think it was a or very productive meeting. So it was bipartisan in fact that he has governor elect in attendance and outgoing member of congress yourself what do you make of the standoff right now president made it very clear. It is on me if the government sluts down it is worth it because i need money to build Border Security at our southern bode. I encourage them to take a stand on that. I think hes right on the policy. Were going to do things in florida to continue to fight opioid abuse but if fentanyl keeps coming into our country it is very difficult and i think the president understands that. And i think Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi theyre on the wrong side this have. The fact of the matter is that amount of money hes asking for in terms of washington, is basically budget these guys waste way more money than that every single year and so ping the American People be behind the president and you know i encourage him to stand strong. You think congress will cave and democrats will cave in congress . I do.

Listen on one side if youre taylor swift and you have hundreds of stalkers, and including one that got arrested and convicted this week for breaking into her house and sleeping in her bed you would want to protect yourself so she tapped into some technology we dont know name it have. They havent released it yet, however, we know it happened and we know that when you entered a recent concert in los angeles, you would be shown on monitors her rehearsal from that day what you didnt know behind monitor there were cameras and they were grabbing faces of each person coming through. We have this technology so that data instangtly. They were going to concert now. We didnt get that information, though, did they catch him but if they could because that data went to nashville a command center there to identify who might be coming in who might be a threat to her. Theres no investigation of privacy at a private this is a private event. Essentially a private venue. In the public, but you say people are worried about what is beginning to happen with those images. So lets ask this question so fine. She did this we went as a concert goer feels creepy to know you might have been there and image was captured but you think she needs that for her safety but then what happens to information so that data is now in nashville or somewhere elsesome or did they sell it . Not getting it back so we dont have information about that and we have no idea as to how that might be, in fact, handled with regard to what that information what happens to information once they have it and do they legally have right to then repurpose the information and would they .

Mexico is taking a hardline stance against the migrant caravan. Ultimatum they have to go, and it will be removed. It is not working out too well for paris. That whole country is burning down. We would be paying trillions of dollars for nothing. Time is running out to get your gift in time for Christmas Today is the last day for standard shipping with the u. S. Postal service. Live from new york city friday december 14th, it is fox and friends we are ten days away from christmas eve. And unbeknownst to you during commercial timeout ainsley has been helping brirn and me coordinate some gifts for loved ones in our family. Thats right. I love it because can we say i wouldnt cant give it away. I wasnt beginning to give it away what were buying but well move on. All right. We have to help them shop for their wives theyre good gift givers meanwhile weve been talking about the problems down at our southern border youre about to hear tijuana delegate give migrants ultimatum but president of the United States is saying look, i want five billion dollars for the qawl. And you know what, now that democrats say were not going to give you the money they said once upon a time they would. Theyre hypocrites. Watch this. A video on twitter from the president. The democrats are absolute hypocrites all long supporting wall and supporting fences supporting all sorts of Border Security. Illegal immigration is wrong. Plain and simple. I voted numerous tiles when i was a senator to spend money to build a a barrier to try to prevent Illegal Immigrants from coming in. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected undocumented, unchecked, the fact is theyve always deported fences and walls in partitions. But you know what, they only dont want to do it because of me. So lets think about this many the president talked about this before he got job when he was running help him get the job. And then you have the migrant crisis in series of caravans coming our direction theyve all welled up in tijuana and they said well it is about midterm elections. Watch this go away. It hasnt gone away but gotten worse. Person hasnt forgotten about it and doubled down on it. When you talk to Border Patrol they need a border wall and the debate today a month ago would be about fence wall. Where do we use and where do we go . Instead it is barrier. Now we dont need it now we need a barrier. Now we dont you know talking about opening up. That without the the money. Thats what its all about. The money. Look this is tijuana, mexico weve done 70 stories about thousands of people camped out in tijuana residents there are upset. There have been protests because they say that,st theres trash everywhere. That the crime there has gone up. Lopez is one of the delegates that tijuana delegate and he said, hes giving them ultimatum if you dont get out were going kick you out. Listen to this. Things arent Getting Better but theyre probably getting worse or for friday, saturday, sunday, they have to go. Still going on, theres been like 2 l 80 arrests first for being drunk in the streets now for breaking and entering the homes people since this arrest and things arent very nice here and these are 24 hour alert on this, and theyre worried about this because we dont want crime rate to go up here in mexico but were very tourist town, and we live off tourism and Christmas Season is one of our best times for tourism here and for sales and things arent very good right now. Also tweeted out he said mexico will pay for wall because of the u. S. Mca problem hasnt passed yet and number two a gradual increase in raef revenue he needs it right now. Saving so much money with the new nafta essentially is what it is that it is kind of inviz paying for. Heres so it all comes down to this by the way talk to secretary of Homeland Security coming up an hour from now. It all come down to will he get he the president get the money to build the wall at the border or whatever it is beginning to be. The democrats have made it very clear ever since that standoff in oval office earlier in the week they dont want to give him any money. But at this point usually when theyre going to do a shortterm budget funding bill behind scenes theyre talking to each other theyre not talking to eachre democrats are waiting on republicans to Say Something and republicans are waiting to get clear direction from president of the United States who has simply said, i would be proud to shutdown the government if i dont get the money so thats where its at a. Ask cory that. I wonder what number is that because you ask for more than what you think you can get if hes asking for 5 what would the number be satisfied with if it was less than that . He would like 20 billion ultimately. 25 what we ran on. Settle for three believe me. Six minutes after the hour he cant go a day or hour without changing with Mueller Probe. Big story with Washington Post today saying that they believe our robert ray, believes that the mueller wrapping up within next three months just by number of people that he has coming to court to get their sentences. But until then, people are focusing on what the charges are Paul Manafort or whether it is papadopoulos or Michael Flynn and hes had so many questions how did lieutenant claim in some cases he was not telling the truth when it came to speaking with ambassador in the sanctions of the Obama Administration was putting on. Well guess what, it is not just us theyre asking questions or you is the judge that has to decide how many if any time he will do. For Michael Flynn judge has to decide if hes sentenced to jail time recommended no jail time for him apparently these and we even heard james comey talk about this last week. He said on stage he said we knew that the Obama Administration was probably they were trying to get all of their duckses in a row and easy to walk in there, trump and Trump Administration sorry Trump Administration is going to be easy to sending our agents in there to investigate, and to ask questions. Flynn should have said let me get ab attorney hold on im not going to answer these questions right now. But he admitted they took advantage of that situation and went in with agents and asked him question and he doesnt remember things he talked about or talking about sanctions he said and later on reminded that he did talk to him about sanctions. So james comey said at the y here in new york earlier, that i personally sent them not exactly the way we normally do things. But we did it that way because this Administration New administration of trump was in such disarray. But what they did was you know, the former now fired a deputy trerkt of the fbi under mr. Comey mr. Mccabe who is been fired because he was leaking things and then lied about it, he called up mr. Flynn and said hey look if we involve we want to talk to you about russia thing if we involve lawyers, you be the department of justice has got to get involved. And then youve got the white House Counsel a big rig so if i send agents and tell them what you know so he said yeah sure two hours later. There were two fbi agents including peter strzok dismissed from Mueller Probe because of antitrump bias he and unnamed agent talked to mr. Flynn for a while and mr. Flynn answered things and they didnt see any did i seption so now youve got u. S. District judge Emmet Sullivan who is sentencing judge and he says hey, fbi, hey mueller i want all of the notes regarding that interview in the situation room. I want them on my desk today before i sentence him and this could be very embarrassing for fbi because the fbi agents didnt write 302 report until seven months after the interview which is kind suspicious. President sat down with harris last night yesterday we saw a lot of interview did a great job about and one of the issues they put up, obviously, was Michael Cohen did you direct Michael Cohen to make payments i never directed him to do anything illegal i do admit this mistake to begin with and hes basically more of a pr guy, and theyre talking about pams of Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougall payments that went through perhaps aei owned by inquirer in order to capture their story and kill their story. The question is, could the president trouble is did you direct him to do something illegal ultimately well that lawyer hash that out. But the president im just wondering if he is if hes getting legal advice as hes going over this story is changing, and it could be more complicated if it continues to change like this. Michael sentenced to three years behind bars he sat down another network just moments ago and heres a clip from that interview this is what hes saying this morning. He directed me to make payments he directed me to become involved in these matters. I gave loyalty to someone who truthfully does not deserve loyalty. He was trying to hide what you were doing, correct . Correct. And he knew it was young. Of course. And he was doing that to help his election . He you have to remember at what point in time that this matter came about two weeks or so before election post billy bush commence so yes. He was very concerned about how this would affect the election. To help his campaign. To help him and a the campaign. What we have heard from the president s attorney Rudy Giuliani is that guy is a liar what you hear him say those things but he make it is clear his side of the story is that donald trump told him to make payments. The argument becomes then, were those damaged control payments actually consider a Campaign Contribution . Weve heard legal experts the judge was here yesterday. He said absolutely it would be. Weve heard from Andy Mccarthy he said absolutely it would not be and ultimately go it a jury if it were adjudicated to that point and john edwards made payments to to a woman he was in affair with and child with and jury said not a Campaign Violation. Not a Campaign Contribution so thats where we are right now. What would that payment be considered . Is it just donald trump or private person or running for president trying to shut some out. If anyone got New York Post and page six knows that donald trump lived a life of a high profile billionaire. So no you wouldnt think one vote would be changed if that people knew or didnt know that the president was having some type of relationship with these two women. I would say this, a lot of times People Experts say this results in a fine anyway. So that could be one thing. Other they think is, Michael Cohen on his face not much credibility. Michael cohen with corroboration, thats the problem. And thats the question. What did this guy take, because he got the president in trouble it is he got Inauguration Committee in trouble by tapes ceased from his office during his raids. So you dont know what is on tape in between thats why as ed writes today the president needs an team of lawyers to match the a team some things going through our mind when we see that interview because the president hired that he was supposed to be able to talk youre supposed to talk to about anything and not supposed to get out into the public and he was recording conversation now hes now hes being disloyal, to his client, and saying getting these interview and talking about what he was confidentially discussins his client. Why is he taping for years . Maybe he considered it his inturns policy doapght know. But anyway, thats his story on another network but we bring it to you as soon as we could. Meanwhile in other news Jerry Seinfeld coming to hearth defense over the oscar kevin is going to be fine but find another kevin hart thats the not so easy.

We need to have the the wall. We need Border Security. Whatever it takes to get Border Security, i will are do it. I pledge that a long time ago, and i will pledge it always. All right President Trump vowing to protect our border so one week until crucial deadline for a Government Shutdown can republicans secure funding for the wall and still keep the government lights on . Colorado Senator Cory Gardner to talk about this with us. Thanks for having me. So we heard in that meeting on tuesday, nancy pelosi said we can pass it in the house, but the senate you need ten senators and about president said why waste our time. Are there ten senators that are democrat to consider vote for this qawl . I certainly hope so this is about Border Security thats something that both sides have said they supported. I hope theres more than 10 senators on democratic side of the aisle that believe boater security is important. Im thinking about senators from border states can you get ten thats a lot. You have others in the senate who have been voting with us on joe mansion on common sense border reform and others . Senate so i dont think it is a stretch to say just a few months ago agreed to 25 billion in Border Security why are they trying to cut Border Security funding now and i hope theyll agree lets get this done. That bill you remember actually part of, the 25 billion that so Many Democrats were like yeah well sign on to that. But what has happened dynamic changed now because it seems as if democrats have dug in. They simply dont want to give him a nickel for hill to build a wall. This is what i dont understand at all it makes no sense they have no Border Security plan. Months ago they supported 25 billion dollars in Border Security funding now they support less than a fifth of that. This is a massive cut in Border Security funding that democrats are now proposing. But it is politics it is politics but based on revenge majority they elected to house nothing more than revenge majority. They want to fight against the president that they believe never should have been elected in the first place so they believe policies theyre pursuing are are based on revenge investigations, cutting Border Security, doing everything they can to provide that revenge. Doesnt look like president is going to get the five trillion because votes 5 billion right 5 trillion would do it. I can say trillion but billion. It doesnt look look hes going to get that if he gets the the. 6 chance right now is there that in a few months . This is. You can keep going at it and getting more bit by bit by bit but we know that numbers that Border Security is better when you have Something Like this in place. But we know from the lead percent of our Border Security agencies by the way, which revenge majority wants to destroy now we know that the leaders of this agencies have said we can do a better job if we have these Border Security measures in place. So yes you can do it bit by bit ultimately we will see that happen over next week lets get this done. Revenge majority i have a feel were going to hear that more. Thank you senator. Thanks. Coming up nancy pelosi says President Trumps border request proves hes out of touch. Hi susan hs honey . I respect that. But that cough looks pretty bad. Try this new robitussin honey.

We need a wall funded. And what i dont understand and what had is so mind boggling about neaps and Chuck Schumer or is that they live behind walls. You know, toangt walls protect you so why dont you want to protect america . By building a wall so thats what i dont understand. They have security guards. They have security guards with guns, and they also live behind walls. So if somebody can break into my house and steal any stuff i get Security System.

A couple of days ago when nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer were in oval office and they have that they were yelling at each other to the bemusement perhaps of mike pence who didnt have anything to say during that. It became very clear that nancy pelosi was talking about how Many Americans were losing their jobs at the time because of his decisions and then he goes what are you talking about . We have record unemployment lowest unemployment in 50 years but doubled down and mention it again yesterday, do you think shes talking about the average american losing their job or the the hundreds of thousands of Government Employees who might lose their job if theres a Government Shutdown . Fnlgt shes talking about people get their gravy trains up their cutoff. Ones that were getting their kick back skip aing dog a bone thats not happening anymore theyre leaving congress. Thats why theyre trying to disparage and demean our president and trying to destroy him. Because they dont like the fact that hes working for the American People. Hes not working for them like oh youre going to get this here hes soully working for American People and they dont it like that. Or maybe just maybe shes talking about those homeless americans that live in hut district why they sit on votes and sugar honny ice tea and ill keep it clean. Join for the quiz later . Yeah.

From the campaign trail until now, the president still insist that mexico is going to pay for border wall the president tweeted yesterday i often stated one way or another mexico is going to pay for the wall. This is never changed. Our new deal with mexico and canada, the u. S. Mca more than antiu. S. Nafta deal that just buy the the money we save, mexico is paying for the the wall. So how will wall help save the u. S. Money in the long run join ling us right now to discuss this senior director of policy of conservative Partnership Institute rachel. Do you understand where the president is coming from have you had a chance it look at the u. S. Ca . I understand where president is coming from and i think hes right and reflects new economic realities but more than that, when you look at the cost of illegal immigration in this country, what the president is asking for for the the wall is less than 5 of what itst cost you the u. S. To deal with illegal immigration and so schismly by reducing border crossings and again you heard hill sight numbers in oval office on tuesday where theres a functional wall immigration drops by 90 illegal immigration crossings drop by over 90 . So if we can get that under control, with less than 5 of what we spend on illegal immigration cost in this country were on right track. Heres some of the numbers the average fiscal burden per illegal immigrant according to National Academics of science. The average net fiscal burden per illegal is approximately 74,722 dollars. And get this, for every 100,000 Illegal Immigrants stopped or deterred by a wall the the savings to the tax taxpayer nearly 7. 5 billion dollars. Whats your reaction . You know, i think that is selfevident to a lot of people as weve been dealing with this illegal Immigration Crisis lock at our welfare spending we cant afford it for people is that live here much less Illegal Immigrants taxing system this is a fiscal crisis as well as a sovereignty crisis and first accept to doing that is building wall at the southern backward and really in congress are ones block President Trump for getting this priority asked for two straight years and reallies have congress him. There are landowners back to tune of 82 who have sued not to have this wall with a claim is right are on their property. You know, i think it is you talk to homeowners in border areas and theyll tell you they see people cross their borders they see the Violence Associated with illegal activity at the border not just drugs but also ms13 gangs you saw the president site number about terrorists arrested at the border this is a National Security sovereignty and fiscal issue that best way deal is border wall thats where President Trump has been asking for two years i dont understand it and i dont think American People understand. Why republicans in Congress Just wont get it across the the finish line for them. Whats your prediction for next two years do you think hell get the qawl . I dont think were going to see a lot of cooperation from democrats in congress that was clear on tuesday. We have a majority in the house, and in the senate, and in the white house we have a president who will sign literally anything right now on the border wall. For republicans in congress not to get this done by the end of the year it is almost border line political malpractice thats why President Trump is rightly frustrated and to be honest i can see why. Ive spent 12 years in washington i have never seen Mitch Mcconnell talk to Chuck Schumer the way President Trump did on tuesday. So interesting because you ask yourself, do you want to give those social programs where theres food stamps, medicaid or medicare to american citizens in need . Or to as thes of another country here without even having the taking time to try to get here the right way. Thats right to be clear that is a priority for democrats they have no intention of implementing Border Security you saw nancy pelosi say, she would rather keep the government closed for years than fund a border wall. Thats what were dealing with. And so for republicans to waste this time they need this on border wall now. Thank you so much for being with us. My pleasure.

Steve welcome to fox square, jon necessary dean. And janice dean, many folks a lot here for the holidays. We shook most of their hands when we were outside. Ainsley well go back out to meet the rest of them. Brian well be privileged to have with us in studio Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. She is in d. C. I should say. She is with us live. She has numbers you have not seen before who is actually coming across the border. Ainsley she has all the numbers. Brian that you have not seen before. Steve exclusive numbers. Lets bring in Geraldo Rivera he joins us live from his remote location. Good morning. Steve good morning to you as well. Geraldo we have an inside look at the thought process behind what Michael Cohen has told prosecutors and things like that. We have three sound bites. Well ask for your opinion on these things. First of all it goes to the very core of what Rudy Giuliani said, this guy cannot be trusted, he told a lot of lies. Here is on a. About c explaining why people should believe him even though he lied to congress. I mealedded guilty to lying to congress. Yes. Why should we believe you now . Because the special counsel stated emphatically that i information i gave to them was credible and helpful. There is substantial amount of information that they possess that corroborates the fact that i am telling the truth. Youre done with the lying. Im done with the lying. Im done being loyal to President Trump. Brian so there you go. He is done being loyal. No kidding. Ainsley he is done lying he says. Well i think Michael Cohen is full of crap, to tell you the truth. He got some favorable grades from the special counsel in terms of his veracity but recall that the prosecutors in the Southern District of new york are extremely unsatisfied with the truthfulness of Michael Cohens responses. Seems like Michael Cohen is trying very hard to be the john dean of the trump white house. He wants to be the king rat and king scmich who wants to take down donald trump. He represents i hasten to add, real peril, real jeopardy for the president. If he is believed the president is on the short end of the stick in terms of hush payments to both Karen Mcdougal the playboy playmate and porn star Stormy Daniels. Michael cohen said donald trump led the negotiation and did it to save embraerment. Brian he also talks about donald trump being a liar, the country being in trouble because of it. Here he is saying he is taking responsibility for what he did but also calls out the president. Im angry at myself because i knew what i was doing was wrong. I stood up before the world yesterday and i accepted the responsibility for my actions. The actions that i gave to a man as i also said in my allocution i was loyal to. I should not be the only one taking responsibility for his actions. So he is still lying . Yes. Steve you know, geraldo, he says the president is a liar but then it goes to what you were touching on a moment ago. The question with these hushmoney payments is, are they a private transaction, or would that be a Campaign Violation . We have the judge who said it would be a Campaign Violation. Andy mccarthy however, used to be a former federal prosecutor said it certainly would not be. Where do you stand . First of all, let me say Michael Cohen makes my skin crawl talking about how he is telling the truth now but he was lying yesterday. The fact of the matter he was lying in terms of the taxi medallion business and all these other businesses that he obviously didnt pay income tax on and so forth. He is a serial manipulator and a con man. In terms of, you know his feelings on, what the president knew or did not know, the president has to maintain that he paid these payments to save melania from embraer embarassment, and to safe his reputation as a husband and father and so for the. Michael cohen says he donald trump was in the room, negotiated with the National Enquirer in the catch and kill scheme which the enquirer gave Karen Mcdougal money and and killed the story. Michael cohen is a nightmare. I am thankful that a sitting president cannot be indicted. Michael cohen is on a mission to take down the president. Brian there is a lot of people on a mission to take down the president but do you think Michael Cohen is making things up to take down the president or do you think Michael Cohens truth is taking down the president . I dont know, brian, i dont know what you do with a serial liar. Is he telling the truth now or telling truth three months ago, six months ago. What i find deeply disturbing, the president s most grievous peril has nothing to do with why we are here. We are here because of alleged collusion with russia to subvert the election. Where is the collusion . Where is russia . If not for russian collusion you would never had Robert Mueller. You would never have the situation. It is just shows why the special counsels are so fraught with, with immorality in a sense. They get empanelled for one thing and theyre going after something entirely different. Ainsley president sat down yesterday with Harris Faulkner and he says he regrets hiring Michael Cohen. Michael cohen says with the interview with george stephanopoulos, that he will be remembered as a healer for our country. Listen to this, geraldo. He didnt understand the system and it is said because the country has never been more divisive. One of the hopes that i have out of the punishment that i have received as well as the cooperation that i have given, i will be remembered in history as helping to bring this country back together. Steve well, i mean he can certainly hope he is remembered to be a hero. Brian god luck with that. Steve what do you think . I think he is a revealed as a selfserving rat. He will do or say anything. I think the president s approach to this, has to be, Michael Cohen, if Michael Cohen testified today was friday he would probably be lying. You have a situation where he is trying his best to not only sing a song, but to be operatic in his expansive excuses of the why is he taking down the president . Doing it for history. Doing it for the nation. That is total bs. He is doing it to save his own behind because he cheated on his taxes, he finagled with the tax sy medallion companies. He is is facing serious legal jeopardy has absolutely nothing to do with his tenure. But on the other hand you have a situation where he is the righthand man, he is the person, the keeper of the keys. He knows all the secrets. He is doing his best, seems to me, almost a malicious way, to, to hurt, not to find truth but to weasel out, get the best possible deal and hurt the president to the maximum extent. Brian everything you said is true, every lawyer will think the same thing as you. It is about who if anyone corroborates that story. When you have immunity deal with the cfo an immunity deal with the david from the enquirer who everybody agrees was involved in this, that will be key, isnt it . David pecker, that you mentioned him he represent as true danger, a businessman of good repute the publisher of the National Enquirer, if cohen is to be believed, if cohen is to be believed, the negotiation was between the president of the United States, then, candidate trump, and pecker, without quote cohen. In other words pecker saying you give her money, buy her story, dont publish it, okay . That is the cohen type scenario, if that is true, president is in great danger. The president cannot be dine ited while in office. If he is impeached by the house, i see that as distinct possibility given the cohen revelations he still must be convicted by the senate, 2 3s vote of the senate. As long as republicans hold loyal to the president , scorning the rat, the sleeze bag who is trying to save his own skin, as lon as the senate stays loyal, i think the president has a reasonable expectation of serving out his term and, ad as bad incentive in 2020, to remain president , and unindictable to 2024. Steve unindict ab, the statute of limitations runs out. That too. Steve thank you, geraldo. Sorry but sad news today. Steve news of the day. Your legal back ground, and insight. Steve 8 10 in new york city. Jillian has some headlines. Jillian a fox news alert. A Police Officer is shot an killed after a routine traffic stop.

Jillian secret service became secret santa. Steve wellputt. Brian i. C. E. Releasing brand new numbers about arrests at the border this year alone. You will not see that anywhere else. Homeland secretary first Steen Nielsen is here reveal them to you. Ainsley president ripping the weeks of violence in france. The paris accord is not working out too well for paris. That whole country is burning down. Ainsley Stuart Varney says it will only get worse. The paris accord is not working out too well for paris. That whole country is burning down, okay . If i was in the paris accord we would be paying trillions of dollars, trillions of dollars for nothing. Brian President Trump slamming the Paris Climate Accord after the violent protests in france. Do these on going protests show why the president was right to pull out of the deal or was sitting else . Ainsley here to weigh in is Stuart Varney, host of varney company. You say yes. Yes. Ainsley why . The greens have a problem here. They cannot sell the fix for Climate Change which the United Nations is recommending. The greens have two problems here. Voters are not prepared to pay more for fuel, gas, electricity, theyre not prepared to pay more now to fix a problem that may be serious, 80, 90 years away. Theyre not prepared to pay that the Paris Climate Accord, wanted us, the western world, america, europe, pay more now. That is not going to work. Theyre not prepared to accept it. French workers went on strike. Theyre rioting in the streets. They will not pay more for Climate Change. Theyre paying 7 bucks a gallon for gasoline. Brian it goes to the working and middle class and theyre on a tight budget. Exactly. Why should we in europe and america sacrifice now, that is what were being called on to do, pay higher price, while we sacrifice while china the leading carbon polluter, doesnt have to do anything until 2030 until the paris accord, all they have to do is try to get it down . Steve does it worry for you going forward, seeing success of protesters in france, if a group has a problem something a government does, you will have that kind of thing, next thing the government will cave, they get their way . Youre right in the sense that macron absolutely caved. I think he had to save his presidency. Whether that kind of revolt is transferred to other issues i dont think so. You dont know that for a fact but there is clearly a resvelte when it comes to paying higher prices for gasoline or electricity or anything else. Remember in Washington State, in the november midterms, there was an item on the ballot calling for a carbon tax, a tax coal, oil, gas, et cetera, et cetera. It would have raised 2 billion from Washington State in five years. Voters completely rejected it. Goes back to my point. Theyre not prepared to pay more now for problem in the future. Brian talking about that on the Fox Business Network 9 00 to noon . All kinds of things. Ainsley thanks, stuart. Happy friday. You too. Steve meanwhile the immigration and Customs Enforcement agency releasing brand new stats about arrests at the border in 2008. You will not sigh them anywhere else.

Just released brand new numbers, statistics on the arrest of the illegals in the United States so far in calendar year 2018. Ainsley thats right. This include as 10 increase in administrative arrests of illegal aliens. Brian numbers even surprised us but what about Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen who submitted them to us after the totals. She joins us right now. Mr. Secretary, thanks for joining us. I appreciate it. Good morning. Brian these numbers are pretty staggering. 90 , nine out of 10 aliens arrested had criminal convictions, pending criminal charges or previously issued final orders . Yes, thats correct. To your original question, no, im not surprised. The men and women of i. C. E. Work hard every day to secure the country despite limitations from congress. Weve seen 10 increase in arrests and removals. Steve the graphic we put up says nearly 50 increase of arrest of illegal aliens with criminal histories. When you see that number explain why thats important. Well i think it goes to show what were prioritizing is the safety and Public Safety of our communities. First and foremost were looking for illegal aliens who also committed crimes in our country or another country and make sure we remove them to protect your communities. Ainsley what about the amount of drugs . Homeland security investigators seized nearly 900,000pounds of narcotics so far this year and we still have two weeks to go . This is a really important part of the mission. The entire department contributes to the mission of removing drugs from the streets. That is in addition to 1. 3 millionpounds that cpb interdicted at the borders. Brian when president got blow book when we found 10 terrorists when he had the Famous Oval Office exchange on tuesday, you found a number to back that up . So, basically what that number references every day, the department of Homeland Security prevents 10 known or suspected terrorists from traveling to our country and those are the ones we know about. So that is why the informationsharing baselines we put into place, the partnerships with foreign countries, making sure we know who is coming here what they intend to do is vital for the security. Ainsley what do you know about the little girl, sevenyearold my grant girl taken into Border Patrol custody and died of dehydration and exhaustion . My heart goes out to the family for all of dhs. This is a very sad example of the dangers of this journey. This family chose to cross i will illegally. They were about 90 miles away where we could pros these stem. It took a such a large crowd it took our Border Patrol folks a couple times to give them all. We gave immediate care. Well continue to look into the situation. We cannot stress how dangerous the journey is when migrants come illegally. Brian she had 105 fever. Got her to a hospital in el paso, were unable to save her life. Steve tell us about the status of the caravan. Some members delivered the consulate in tijuana. Demanding that you speed up the asylum process. They are demanding 50,000 in some cases so they can go home. What is the latest on that stuff . You know as an american i think that is outrageous. This is a group, unfortunately not everybody in the caravan but these are folks in the caravan who made political demands. They asked us to intervene in the government of honduras. They demand americans pay them 50,000 each. They have demanded we change the way which we do immigration and protect our border. These are not migrants who are seeking asylum. Ainsley republicans are digging in. Democrats say we will not give you the money. We saw the meeting with nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer in the oval office. President says he wants five billion. What is the status of this . What do you think will happen . The status this, is a terrible example of politics at its worst. Democrats have voted for the wall before. In fact they appropriated money for the wall just last year. Nothing has changed. In fact the numbers have gone up. The security risks have gone up. We stopped thousands of special interest aliens at border last year. Thousands of criminals. We know there is criminals in the flow. The need for the wall has never been clearer. Walls work. Yet democrats say they will not fund the wall. Brian where do you especially need it . I understand 42 of illegals come through a certain sector. Would you be able to outline exactly what you need and where you need it . Sure. Weve done that. We have a full Border Security Investment Plan that we provided to congress. It walks through every priority area. Were looking to fun the first 17 first. Youre exactly right. We know where the smuggler reports. That is where we need the combination of wall, infrastructure and personnel. Steve if we had that would that reduce the numbers you released to us moments ago . Absolutely. Weve seen walls work. Weve soon that in work in yuma, san diego, nogales. Where we have walls illegal flow drops 90, to 95 . That is substantial. Ainsley is there a way to do the job if you dont get funding for the wall . We saw tijuana, the port of entry you were shutting it down. You had troops at the border trying to prevent people from coming over. You put barbed wire on the fence. Is there a way to do it if you dont get funding for the wall . This president made it clear he will secure the country. Everything is it on the table. Well continue to use everything at our disposal to protect the American People, to insure a safe, orderly process. Wee do everything we can. I Hope Congress does their job to fund a major security need. Brian secretary nielsen, he likes you, like to see tougher. Have you talked to him about that . What is your status now for the next two years . Yeah, we talk almost every day. We are aligned on the need for Border Security, the need to insure the safe and orderly flow. It is my privilege to work on behalf of the American People. I will continue to do it and make sure that dhs has the support, tools, resources they need to do this job. Steve the president made it clear in the Oval Office Meeting that shutting down the government would be worth it to get the wall. Do you feel the same way . I think the president is being a leader on this. He is drawing a line, he said well have security or not. This is our sovereign responsibility to do so. He takes it very seriously. He is asking congress to do their job. Steve a real pleasure having you here on fox friends, releasing the exclusive data. Everybody has got it. Kirstjen nielsen, secretary of the department of Homeland Security. Thank you very much. Brian fired fbi director james comey mocked lawmakers about searching for truth on twitter.

Brian a lot of people think frontal shots are overrated including them. Ainsley they want the rear shots . Steve stunning. It is 25 minutes before the top of the hour, jillian joins us with headlines. Then something very special. Jillian yes, good morning. How about this, a criminal investigation reportedly underway into spending for President Trumps inauguration. According to the wall street journal federal prosecutors want to know if donors gave the Committee Money in hopes of getting access to the administration. Press secretary Sarah Sanders says this has nothing to do with the president. The president was focused on the transition and building out a new government and preparing to take office. The role that the president had in the inauguration was to raise his hand and take the oath. I would say plan b. But this is more like plan d, e, or f to take this president down. Jillian the Inauguration Committee raised a record of 107 million. It claims it is not aware of a investigation. Congressman trey gowdy not backing down in criticism is of james comey. Earlier this week the South Carolina republican called the former fbi director, after a closeddoor meeting on capitol hill. Comey responding on twitter. I was worried this would not be a dignified openminded search for the truth. Gowdy tweeting back, director comey i was dispointed what you didnt remember and what you will never knew. Comey said i dont know, i cant recall, nearly 250 times when asked about Hillary Clinton emails. No more blurredded lines in this court case. A judge ordering Pharrell Williams and robin thicke to pay 5 million for copyright infringement. Their song was too similar to the 1977 hit, got to give it up.
