And security for american citizens. Dana we now bring in South Carolina republican congressman trey gowdy. Good to have you. Last night the judge ruled the Trump Administration was wrong to end the daca program and this comes in the middle of the republicans and democrats trying to figure out a way to pass legislation on the issue. What is the practical effect of the judges ruling last night . It was a temporary stay. I think what its instructing is that Congress Needs to fix this. This is not a judicial issue. It is noted an executive branch issue. Congress needs to fix it. Im optimistic that we can. Our country has a long history of treating children differently, particularly children who have not reached the age of legal accountability. So i am optimistic that were going to solve that and in addition, make sure this is the last time we have to have this conversation, which means border and interior security. Dana how do you think that conversation is going with the republicans and democrats meeting yesterday with President Trump and then i understand a Smaller Group meeting today, which is usually when you can get a little more done and advance the ball. Do you think this ruling encourages both sides to try to get this fixed sooner than lear . You know what . You could have another judge rule differently tomorrow. So i dont know that its the judicial pronouncements that are motivating us as, hopefully, the necessity of doing the right thing in a timely way. Congress, frankly, has abdicated on this issue for years. Our issue with president obama was more how he did it. Now we have an tune to do it the right way, legislatively. I think there is optimism. But, dana, i dont get using security as a negotiating tool. Security is a preimminent function of government. It is why we decided to form a government so we can protect ourselves against enemies foreign and domestic. I dont get using it as a negotiating tool. I think the president is right, that it is a nonstarter to not have border and interior security as part of an immigration deal. Dana you are intimately familiar with the investigation into the russia allegations of collusion with the Trump Campaign and also interference in the election. And yesterday senator Diane Feinstein, who President Trump called sneaky Diane Feinstein today, she released the fusion gps transcript over the objections of her republican counter parts. Listen to what senator grassley had to say. These transcripts would have been released eventually anyway, but i think it does create some problems. For instance, when youre getting people to voluntarily come to you, it may make a lot of people a little more reserved about whether or not they want to cooperate. And i think particularly in regard to jarrod kushner, that it could maybe affect our moving forward with that. Dana all today, wall street journal, whos written a lot about this issue, tweeted it is time to release absolutely everything related to that dossier that can be deemed legitimately classified. The spin has become silly. Your reaction to what senator grassley said about concerns about people not coming forward . And is it possible to release more about the dossier . I think senator grassley is right on the Chilling Effect it has on other witnesses. I think the other point senator grassley would make is Serious Investigation dont leak. It is unfair to the reader, to the viewer, to read one transcript to the exclusion of all the other witness interviews weve done. All you have is this snap shot by fusion gps. You have nothing to contradict it, nothing to corroborate it, which is why Serious Investigation dont leak and they wait until tend of the investigation to release their findings and all of the transcripts. So im not a fan of leaks. I wish he had not done it. But congressional investigations have not been known for their seriousness, at least since i have been in congress. Those are executive branch investigations. I think youll see precious few leaks when they do it. Dana were talking a live look at the president greeting the Prime Minister of norway. Theyre going to have a meeting. Have a lot to excuse. Then there will be a press conference at 3 20 today that fox news will carry live. Let me ask you about Something Else thats very important, and that is regards to security. And that is, a vote that the house will have tomorrow on the 702 program. This is something the Intel Community and Law Enforcement uses in terms of data collection. There are concerns. I believe that congressman amash and senator widen. Take a listen to what they had to say about their amendment. Our amendment stands for the simple proposition that when you want to spy on americans, get a warrant. What this essentially means is that every year, thousands of times you have the government search for the communications of americans in 702 databases. And we think this is an end run on the constitution. Dana they call their amendment, the usa rice amendment. Is that a fair description of what theyre trying to do or has this gotten blown way out of proportion . Do you know what, dana . This is how you get a 7 public approve rating. When you frame the issue the way senator wyden and justin, who is a friend of mine, framed it. Heres a better way to frame it. Do you want your Law Enforcement officials and intelligence officials accessing already legally collected information . If you think that its okay to go ahead and access what you have already lawfully collected, then you will support the reauthorization of 702 without this amendment. I like justin. I think his is an important voice from a libertarian standpoint. But it is not the voice that we need to be listening to when it comes to national security. I get the difficulty of weighing and balancing privacy versus national security. Those are both constitutional preseps. It is difficult to balance them. But you go fine me a single freedom that you have that is enhanced when youre dead. So your life, your security, the freedom and security of this country is the ultimate objective. And this program has been described as indefensible, vital and critical. All we want to do is go ahead and search already legally collected material. The real problem they have is they dont like 702. So rather than say that, they want to assert you have Constitutional Rights if youre not living in the United States and not in america. Thats just not true. Dana certainly not. We should leave that as the last word and let you get back to your day. Thank you very much, trey tkpwoudy. Yes, maam, thank you. Dana another prominent House Republican is calling it quits as darryl issa announces he will retire at the end of his term. Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. So why is congressman issa retiring, mike . Reporter dana, good afternoon. The congressman told fox this afternoon he wants to go out on top. The congressman is a former chairman of the house committee. Issa won a close race in 2016. The political report considered his district a tossup in 2018. We caught up with congressman issa a short time ago. I came to congress for a four year tour. I stayed for now going on 18. Generic ballot in my district is good. Republican will replace me. I think the economy says everything about the policies that my party and this president helped champion. And so its a good time to go out on top. Reporter however, with issa retiring, a political report said his district now leans democratic, meaning it could be a place where democrats pick up a seat. Dana he is also the eighth chairman to step down. They are term limited. Reporter republican sources tell fox a continuing resolution of a few weeks is expected to keep the lights on and keep the government up and running beyond january 19th. Fox news has confirmed that some of the key players are expected to meet with Trump Administration officials next hour and majority leader Kevin Mccarthys office. From the house, kevin mccarthy. Expected to talk funding and immigration, facing a january 29th deadline, lawmakers are still arguing over where to set the spending levels on a two year budget package. If we dont lift the spending caps in short order, sharp acts of sequestration will fall on the military side of the budget and domestic side of the budget. Thats a scenario Everyone Wants to avoid. Reporter many republicans want to boost defense spending, rebuilding the military. Many democrats want to boost domestic Spending Priorities as well. Dana . Dana all right, mike. Thank you so much. Reporter sure. Dana stores nationwide. Why federal agents descended on 100 7eleven Stores Across the country this morning. Dana immigration agents commanding their investigation into 7eleven stores. Associated press reporting ice agents entered Stores Opening audits and questioning employees. Officials calling this the largest operation against an employer under the Trump Administration. The audits could lead to criminal charges or fines over the stores hiring practices. Federal judge blocked the Trump Administration from moving forward with its plan to end daca in march. The ruling came on the same day President Trump hosted a Bipartisan Group of lawmakers for negotiation on Immigration Reform that would include a daca fix. Can we do this properly, daca, youre not so far away from comprehensive Immigration Reform. And if you want to take it that further step, ill take the heat. I dont care. I dont care. Ill take all the heat you want to give me. Ill take the heat off the democrats and the republicans. My whole life has been heat. I like heat in a certain way. Dana lets bring in our fox news contributor. Jonah, that came quickly and came often from the right. Take a listen to what Vice President pence told martha today. Ann coultier, Tucker Carlson on our own network felt betrayed by what the president said at that table yesterday. That he sort of gave away the farm on the issue. Well, nothing could be furtherer from the truth. The president s been very clear. Theres no deal on daca without a wall. Without a physical wall. Not only without a wall, martha, but also without ending the visa program and the chain migration to end people coming to this country and doing harm to americans. Dana youve covered immigration issues for a long time and seen how president s, both republicans and democrats, take a lot of heat when they try to deal with this issue. Whats your take . Yeah. First of all, great to finally be on here. Dana thank you. I think there are a bunch of Different Things going on. I just want to say as an nerd that what the 9th circuit did was out rageous and lawless. If it was constitutional or legal for president obama to implement a unilateral executive order establishing daca, it has to be constitutionally legal for another president to rescind it. Dana right. James madison never, and the other founders, never would have imagined that the institutions of our government wouldnt be jealous guardians of their own power. This is a symptom of a much larger problem of institutions exceedingal that. That out of the way, i think President Trump, the meeting yesterday, was optically brilliant. It was smart. It squashed a lot of silly talk ab the 25th amendment. Dana yeah. But in the process, he also under mined the republican negotiationing position about requiring either a wall or everify or other security measures without any deal on daca. He made it harder for republicans to show a unified front. I think thats why were getting this cleanup stuff today from pence and other. Dana i read today ab how the dreamers are making it harder for them on the left to get a deal because they are demanding too much as well from pelosi and schumer. I think thats right. All of the attention and the thumb sucking stuff from washington over the last ten years has all been about how the right has moved too far to the right on immigration. And i think if youre talking about places like bright bart, you can make that case. But what always gets left out is the democrats have moved so far to the left on immigration that it really is a two Party Problem in a lot of ways in terms of finding common ground. Remember in 2008, Hillary Clinton was taking the position that we shouldnt be giving illegal drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. And she got beaten up for it. Now the idea there shouldnt be any penalty for being an illegal alien is part of the democratic party. Dana yes or no, do you think they get a comprehensive deal done . Comprehensive is a loaded term. I would say they get a deal done. Dana youre very good. Good luck with that great new pod cast of yours, the remnant. Thank you very much. Dana thank you so much. School children in america suffering in cold classrooms. There was a room that was 37 degrees. Schools were expected to stay in class all day. You can learn in those conditions and i needs to change. Dana angry parents and teachers demanding a solution. Will anything change . Plus what one member of Congress Wants fellow lawmakers to do at the president s state of the union address.

Its a great honor to have the Prime Minister of norway. Just had a very resounding election victory, so its another four years, at least. Very respected by her country. Very liked by her country. We do a lot of business with norway. I know you just bought some additional military equipment in the form of f35s and other things. So i congratulate you. We make the best in the word, we make. Norways a Great Customer and a great ally and a great friend. So an honor to have you, thank you very much. Thank you very much. I would just like to say we appreciate the good work that we have together with the United States. You are our closest ally inside nato. We see your military personnel, all the training in norway. You must make a good product. We do make great product. We were just discussing with the Prime Minister, we make the greatest military equipment in the world. You buy a lot of it. We appreciate that.

We have very our transportation is different. Tesla is coming to norway. We do that, too. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Thank you very much. Dana lets bring in a fox news political analyst and cohost on the five. Quick thoughts about that meeting there . Theyre going to have a press conference in an hour. It almost seemed like a business mans meeting, congratulating each other on the deals and the money involved and the jobs involved. Clearly that was the emphasis. The unsaid part of it was nato and clearly norway, Prime Minister solberg very much wanting the United States to be a staunch ally in terms of resisting russian incursions. Dana absolutely. Theyre absolutely worried about that. So theyve come to the right place. The white house. Juan, nations aging infrastructure is causing students. A high school in fall river massachusetts forced to close after an aging watermain break sent thousands of gallons into classrooms. In baltimore, schools without heat in subfreezing weather closed for days, sparking widespread anger at a school board meeting. Watch this. We just ask that you allow us to speak and then you can have your commentary, you can do your shout outs. But at least allow us the opportunity to communicate. Stop it all these excuses its a tragedy i got to take care of my Children First dana juan, you can understand the parents frustration for their children. Also, are baltimore schools starved of resources . They ar
