Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom With Bill Hemmer And Sandra Smith 20180129

This is about patriotism, a safe, strong and proud america. He will talk about how america is back and where we are today as far as growing an economy that now is growing at 3 clip. He has had a tremendous run with his tax cuts, deregulation, conservative judges and the economy has been responding. So it strikes me that the president is in a pretty good position to say to the American People look, this is working. Sandra john roberts is live with more from the white house. John, good morning. Good morning to you. The president has a couple of things on his schedule today. He will swear in a new hhs secretary and have lunch with members of the United Nations Security Council but much of today will be dedicated and devoted to getting ready for tomorrow nights state of the Union Address. He will do runthroughs of the speech to get more detail whether on teleprompter and as tradition typically holds with president s theyll be doing it in the theater which gives the president the idea of talking to an audience. He spent much of the weekend working on the state of the Union Address that falls into five broad themes. Jobs and the economy, infrastructure, immigration, trade, national security. The immigration piece the president will pressure democrats to cut a deal on daca, the wall will be front and center in that negotiation according to white house officials. The president s wants 25 billion in total for Border Security, 20 billion of which dedicated to build the wall. In exchange the president is offering a 10 to 12 year path to citizenship for 1. 8 million socalled dreamers. The Principal Deputy press secretary today. The president has come forward and offered a 10 to 12 year pathway to citizenship to people brought here illegally as minors. Thats reaching across the aisle and in exchange he is looking for real Border Security and reforms to our Legal Immigration system. White house Officials Say the tone of the speech will be very forwardlooking and the president will offer it in a spirit of bipartisanship. That may be difficult to achieve and no word on whether the president , as tradition has held in the past, will travel across the country post state of the union to try to sell his policies to middle america. Sandra im sure well hear more about that this week. Whats the likelihood the president can get a deal on daca and Border Security done . Up until probably the end of last week the white house was optimistic that negotiations on daca were progressing. That both sides were coming to a better understanding of each others positions. Checked with a white house official and was told both sides are holding in their corners to see where its going. Potential legislation should be out later this week. Democratic leadership is saying the president s initial proposal the 1. 8 million path to citizenship in exchange for border wall, end to chain migration and end to the visa lottery system is a nonstarter. Nancy pelosi went so far last friday to say that the president s program was racist which brought a sharp reaction from shaw this morning. The president put forth a plan and let me just say what i said last night. That plan is a campaign to make America White again. I dont really take Nancy Pelosis words all that seriously. Theyre insulting to me and a lot of other individuals. The president also taking aim on twitter at jayz after the rapper who got shut out of the Grammy Awards last night in an interview over the weekend said that the president was did not have a Good Relationship with the africanamerican community, pointed to his comments in the Oval Office Meeting about s hole countries. The president tweeted somebody inform jayz because of my policies black unemployment is the lowest rate ever recorded. Something you can expect the president will likely clue in the state of the union tomorrow talking about jobs and the economy. Sandra thanks, john roberts. Bill also today watch the clock. 5 00. The House Intelligence Committee meeting today may likely vote on whether or not to release an obama surveillance memo that allegedly reveals misconduct by the f. B. I. Trey gowdy lays out the case for making the public on sunday with Chris Wallace. If you think your viewers want to know whether or not it was used in Court Proceedings and whether or not its ever been vetted. If you are interested in who paid for the dossier, if youre interested in Christopher Steeles relationship with Hillary Clinton and the Democrat National committee, then yes, you will want the memo to come out. Bill byron york has been reporting on this for weeks. Good to have you back. 5 00 today whats in it . It could happen. Actually, representative gowdy gave a little bit of a roadmap there to what we think is in it. It is classified and to my knowledge no one outside this group has read it. But the most explosive allegation appears to be the allegation that the Obama Justice department used the dossier, the unverified dossier which was really an oped Research Document used it to present to a court to win permission to spy on an american. Thats what the most explosive allegation is said to be. Bill im surprised after the last four or five days how many people outside our business have said whats in this memo, hemmer . People are in tune with this, byron. Lets see whether or not it delivers. The New York Times is reporting this morning secret memo hits a new republican target Rob Rosenstein and carter page who was under some level of surveillance. Whats significant about that . The story about that is when the government applies for this warrant to spy on someone its for a finite period of time, about 90 days. So the theory here is that perhaps the Obama Administration got a warrant to spy on carter page, the 90day period overlapped into the Trump Administration and then the Trump Administration renewed or extended that warrant to spy on carter page. But all of this is talk about whats in a classified memo that people have not seen so i think what you heard from representative gowdy a second ago is that it probably covers a lot more than just this warrant issue. Bill you make it clear in your piece thats online in the Washington Examiner now that the next 72 hours are critical. What transpires over three days then . Now im thinking more in terms of delays. It is possible that in this meeting tonight the committee could vote to release the memo. That would begin a process. I think two things to look for. One throughout the course of the day look for sort of lastditch efforts by the Justice Department to try to get the committee to put off that vote. Not sure that will be successful but i think theyll try. Then after that we know the president wants this memo released. But perhaps the white house will take some process that takes a few days to review it. So theoretically it could come out tonight but also be a few more days. Bill well wait for more. Nancy pelosi said that this immigration idea is going to make America White again. Joe manchin, the democrat from West Virginia was asked about that specifically on sunday and said this. We dont need that type of rhetoric on either side from nancy, paul ryan or anybody else. I come down this, the president has laid out a template. We are going to look at that template and work with it. Bill you put those two together and there could be a split within the party. Thats a preview of the debate inside the Democratic Party thats coming up over immigration after the state of the union. And i think that the problem for some democrats like nancy pelosi is that some of the president s proposals like making the immigration system more meritbased or getting rid of the visa lottery actually have pretty broad substantial majority support in the public. But these differences are really real. Joe manchin represents a state, West Virginia, that donald trump won by 42 points. Nancy pelosi represents a district in california that Hillary Clinton won by 77 points. It is not surprising that you are going to see some differences in those two. Bill you think . Thank you, sir. Nice to see you. Stay with the Fox News Channel. In depth coverage, analysis, state of the Union Address. Bret and martha have the cover up to the speech and a little after that as well. The talk of the week tomorrow night in washington, d. C. Economy, immigration, reprieve from the speech we heard last week in davos. Sandra a big moment. All right. This is a fox news alert for you on another deadly attack this morning in afghanistans capital. At least 11 Afghan Soldiers killed and 16 wounded when a suicide bomber attacked an army unit guarding a military academy. Isis claiming responsibility for the assault which is kabuls third deadly attack in less than two weeks. Afghan Officials Say the taliban was behind a bombing on saturday that killed at least 103 people. Well have much more on this coming up for you a live report coming later this hour. U. S. Officials in a race against time as they step up pressure on iran to release an american prisoner in failing health. Now President Trump is preparing for a highstakes meeting with the u. N. Security council on iran. Well talk to john bolton. If the president continues the attitude he has expressed in this proposal. If my democratic friends will calm down. Its hard to deal with President Trump. Lets take a deep breath, we can get there. Bill Lindsey Graham calling on democrats to chill out and come back to the table. Can congress get a deal done . Thats on the table now. Sandra a big question. Music mixed with politics at last nights Grammy Awards including a surprise cameo by Hillary Clinton. Our panel is here to weigh in on that. Gets up halfway through meetings with World Leaders because he is bored. He had a longtime fear of being poisoned. One reason why he liked to eat at mcdonalds. Nobody knew he was coming and the food was premade. Thats the one. Weve got it. Bill fox news alert. The u. S. Putting pressure on tehran to release an 81yearold american held in an iranian jail after the retired u. N. Official was rushed to a hospital. Family members warn returning him to an iranian prison would be dangerous given his health ahead of a meeting between President Trump and the u. N. Security Council Diplomats today in washington ambassador john bolton. Former u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. , senior fellow American Enterprise institute. How are you . Do they listen to us on this 81yearold man and set him free to come home and get better . Theyre worried about a couple of things. I do think they see the impending demise of the 2015 Nuclear Agreement and this is a government lets face it that began its existence in 1979 playing with american hostages. Theyve done it repeatedly since then. Theyre playing with our hostages again hoping to tease one or two out and back us off a little bit. I think they also recognize how bad north korea looked in the Otto Warmbier incident. The poor young man they killed came home and died. So there are a number of things going on here. I dont think it reflects any major change in irans position. You say the demise of the iran nuclear deal. How does it go with this diplomatic meeting today at the white house . I think theyll present evidence in the form of missile parts that show iran has routinely violated u. N. Sanctions are providing the rebels in yemen with this equipment. Any effort to increase pressure on the Iranian Regime is a good thing. I think their main focus is and will be preserving the nuclear deal. It is so good for them they dont want to see it ended. Bill do you think this meeting should happen today . Well, you know, its just a bunch of ambassadors. If i had proposed it in the george w. Bush administration they would have told me it was a waste of time. As long as the president is there he will press hard on his problems with iran. Bill why is he listening when others in the past would not . Usually the president meets with the secretary general once a year. Perhaps he will do that as well. Bill north korea, you ready . Breaking news this morning. North korea under sanction strain dials back military exercises. Here is the headline from the morning edition of the wall street journal. It goes on to say the restrictions and sanctions are working and perhaps thats why theyre dialing back military exercises. That might be true. Another way of looking at it. The u. S. And south korea backed off their exercises. Knowing the olympics start, how do you analyze this from afar given this headline the hemmer theory may be better than the Defense Department theory. I think the North Koreans are on a propaganda roll. People are gushing about the joint womens hockey team from north and south korea and marching as one team in the opening ceremonies. So if you are getting all this good p. R. , why do you risk moving it in the other direction by having a really ramped up military exercise . I think they are trying to bask in the glow here and as long as were talking about easing of tensions between north and south nobody is paying attention to those centrifuges worrying in the background and the rocket scientists still working on their icbm. I dont think its changed at all. Bill as you have told us repeatedly watch a month of march when it comes to north korea. Last comment. Once the olympics are over, you could well find that north korea is prepared to conduct a test. Maybe a nuclear test, maybe a missile test, maybe both that may demonstrate they do have the capability to hit the united states. I hope thats not right. I dont think it is but our intelligence on north korea has never been good, which is why were in a realtime crunch i think to stop them from getting that capability to hit the continental u. S. Bill thanks. Talk to you later in the week. Sandra federal agents investigating a group of criminals behind a string of atm jackpoting schemes. How hitech thieves are robbing banks by remote control. Bill shocking audio from a California Teacher in a shameful rant recorded by a student. What he said about the brave men and women who serve in the u. S. Military. Theyre not highlevel thinkers or academic people or intellectual people. They are the lowest of our low. Hello, im an idaho potato farmer.

Im sure well hear a lot more about that one. Bill youve been warned. Sandra thats a Southern California High School Teacher who is also a city council member. His disparaging comments about the military secretly recorded by a student going viral this morning. Jonathan hunt live with more on this. Jonathan, he had a lot to say about our military. Yeah, he certainly did. It all happened atel Rancho High School southeast of downtown l. A. The 17yearold student who recorded it says the voice is his high school u. S. Government teacher gregory salcido. Listen here. We dont have a good military. Think about the people you know. Salcido prompted by a student wearing militarythemed clothing kept going with the insults. Theyre not high level thinkers or intellectual people. Theyre the lowest of our low. In all, sandra, this rant lasted a full five minutes in front of those students. Sandra wow. Its hard to believe and then you hear the teachers words, jonathan. Is the teacher at this point is he saying anything now . Well, he already said a lot but not much more publicly.
