Heather good morning to you, the lights are coming on in new york city, monday morning, im vacfrom vacation and we are ready to go. Thank you so much for watching Fox Friends First. Teachers and staff, though, tough day for them. They are returning to school at Stoneman Douglas high school today. Governor rick scott is now calling in the meantime for an investigation into Law Enforcements response amid heightened calls for the sheriff to resign. Griff jenkins is live for us in washington, d. C. With what is coming up next. Good morning, griff. Good morning, welcome back. Students dont class back until later this week but returned to Stoneman Douglas as teachers and staff prepare to get back to business as usual as the nations governors gather in washington for their winter meeting, President Trump will be joining today with the safety of our children at the top of the list. We will be talking about parkland and horrible event that took place last week, i want to thank governor rick scott of florida, rick, please stand up, youre doing a great job. [applause] i think that we will make that first in our list because we have to end the country of whats happening with respect to that subject. All eyes will be on Governor Scott who led the way for more to be done to secure the schools, governor scoot, calling for violence prevention plan and Holding Everyone accountable from the fbi to Broward County sheriffs department. The fbi, what happened, the local sheriffs department, they have been to be transparent, whoever didnt do their job has to be held accountable. I talked to Law Enforcement around the state, theres no one i talked to thats not disgusted that the local sheriffs deputy that was there did not go in and kill the individual. Despite calls to step aside, sheriff israel said that he will not resign. Did you know it wednesday night . It was spoken about during that earlier that day. Are you really not taking any responsibility for the multiple red flags. Jake, i could only take responsibility for what i knew about. I commerce as my due diligence, i have given amazing leadership to the agent. Of course, i wont resign. Finally Congress Returns today and they will begin considering a rage of options from bump stocks to background checks and Everything Else in between. Its going to be a busy week and certainly expect lawmakers to try to get active, heather. So tough for the students this week, Griff Jenkins live for us this morning. Right now crews are still looking for people who may have survived prapt trapped urn the rubble. 2story building lester, 100 miles north of london completely leveled, another four people are being treated at hospital, police say theres no reason to believe that this is terror related as they continue to investigate the cause. Turning now to extreme weather, major flooding slams part of the midwest, this is the ohio river in cincinnati, rising 60 feet. Highest level in two decades. At least five people are dead after tornadoes and terrains, in washington one man is dead and several injured after getting caught in avalanche, snore burying that group while shredding, rescue workers had to dig them out. Avalanche blocking roadway. They all have access we were told to food and shelter. And as United Airline flight attempts to slam with blown tire, that was pretty tough, ne nework and no injuries were reported. Thats a good thing. And the white house is blasting the release of that democratic rebuttal memo calling it a total bust for failing to disprove key details about alleged fisa abuses. But lawmakers on the left insist that it clear it is Obama Administration of any wrongdoing, kelly wright live in washed with reaction to both memos, so kelly, now we have both memos and as expected different reaction. Absolutely, depends on what side youre on, im looking at the memo, its called correcting the memo, the russia investigation. Tenpage democrat document, the memo, partially redacted. Disputes republican claims that the department and fbi and devin nunes responded to the democrats. You have a Political Party in this country actually saying, dont worry american public, twoa this all of the time, we will dig up dirt all of the time, get it from russians and open up an investigation to another campaign. Kelly democrats say not so fast written by former british spy Christopher Steele, President Trump and the white house say that the democrats memo is a bust. They were not really able to rebut the points made in the nunes memo. I think the president is right, it is a bust. It doesnt undercut conduct year before last in fisa warrant and investigation altogether. Kelly democrats says the memo vindicate it is fbi. Not surprised that the president doesnt like it, im not surprised frankly that the white house try today bury the memo response as long as they could but its important for the public to see the facts that the fbi acted appropriately in seeking a warrant in carter page, theyre not part of deep state as the president would like public to believe. Kelly continue to investigate russian interference in 2016 campaign and, of course, members of Congress Come back today, heather. Heather as Griff Jenkins was saying earlier, its going to be a busy week. Thank you so much, kelly. As kelly was talking about, democrats insist they do have evidence to clear the Obama Administration of the fisa abuses alleged by dehave you been nunes but republican congressman john rat can have ratcliff says theres questions that need to be answered. The fisa court must be told. They must be told clearly exexpressly, unequivocally and in this case were not told about Hillary Clinton and the dnc, about steele hating trump and desperate keeping him from becoming president. The other point thats worth emphasizing that adam schiff goes at length the fact that republicans criticized fbi agent Peter Peter Peter strzok. Unless you believe peter strzok asked to go to counterintelligent agent or bruce ohr asked to be demoted not once but twice in a twoweek period. Heather today the Supreme Court will hear arguments on a landmark labor case potentially crippling Public Employee unions, now the justices will decide whether State Government workers who choose not the join a union still have to pay a share of union dues to cover the costs of negotiating labor contracts, that decision could also deliver a blow to democrats who we lie on the unioning for more than 100 million in contribution. Court deadlock for four on the same issue in a case brought by california teachers to obtain dues. The white house giving north korea ultimatum in order to hold peace talks and they say they will only meet with the rogue nation if the discussions lead to regime ending its nuclear program. The north korean delegation reportedly telling the south korean president that they are on board to hold talks with the u. S. This just days after President Trump approved new sanctions targeting north koreas shipping and trading companies. In the meantime ivanka trump all smiles, the first daughter greeting and sitting south korean president moon and his wife. Ivanka charming the crowd and taking in the games during her fourday trip which included a diplomatic briefing with president moon. The u. S. Missing out on the final pedal podium finishing fourth in overall standing. Here is something good. 17 years but kevin finally has another win at Atlanta Motor Speedway with quick trip 500. Kevin harvick puts on a clinic and wins the post of honor. More than a hundred laps, he won the same track in 2001 filling in for dale earhart, threefinger salute victory lap. The nascar partnership by the way raises awareness which gives out scholarship to support military families. A win all the way around. Long rain delay to get the race in. 11 minutes after the top of the hour and President Trump calling for an end to chain migration. But we want people based on merit not based on the fact that they are thrown into a bin and many of those people are not the people you want in the country, believe me. Heather turns out americans overwhelming agree, so why isnt the system changing . Our next guest and expert on Immigration Studies has a pretty good idea. And up in flames the terrifying moment that carryon bag explodes into a fire ball on the plane and all caught on camera, and olympian calling for political unity, the outrage that is boiling over on both sides. Helped put a roof over the heads of hundreds of families, hes most proud of the one hes kept over his own. Brand vo get paid twice as fast with quickbooks smart invoicing. Quickbooks. Backing you. We want people that come in through merit. We need merit. We need people to come into our country because we have so Many Companies moving because to have regulations and because of what we did with the massive tax cut. We are going to need people to take care of the company, so but we want people based on merit, not based on the fact that they are thrown into a bin and many of those people are not the people you want in the country, believe me. Heather well, President Trump calling for a meritbase system on immigration that would judge applicants unskilled rather than family connections and in a new Harvard Harris polls finds that most americans agree. Is it time for congress to act and reform our immigration system . Here now to weigh in is the executive director of the center for immigration study mark, thank you so much for joining us this morning, appreciate it. Glad to be here. Heather you saw the poll that we put up. The majority of americans believe that it should be based on merit and skills, what do you think, does that surprise you . No, its pretty common sense, other than husbands, wives an little kids, immigration shouldnt be based on who you know but what you know. The nfl when it does draft doesnt pick people because they have a son that plays in the nfl, we will let you in too, they play people that are best at what they do. Hundreds of millions of people who want to move here and we should be choosey in who we take. I actually kind of disagree with the president about how many people we take. He seems to think we need lots of people, you know, lots of new immigration. I dont think so but whatever we take, we should be taking people based on what they know not who they know. Heather as i was going through the polls and lets bring up the other one that i will get your response as well, the number of people that support the comprehensive immigration reform, 76 support that. 24 oppose it. Why arent we hearing more about that in the media because if you listen to some of the Mainstream Media you would think its the exact opposite . Well, i think one of the reasons, for instance, that youre talking about the president s proposal to join some amnesty for some people with some of the significant immigration changes, a lot of people support it, a lot of polling shows that, but i dont think its all that important to people really one way or the other where as the people fighting it, the people who want to keep our immigration system the way it is, really have intent interests so they pay lobbyists and they pressure people and when you have its not really a balance, you have most of the public saying, you know what, i think we should fix things the way the president is saying compared to highlymotivatedpaid lobbyists. They dont feel as passion atly passionately about it. Right. Heather the president want change to that as well. Visa lottery, we get 50,000 green cards at people to people at random, dumbest immigration programs imaginable. Again, everybody thinks its dumb and should go away but theres intense political interest by a handful of people in keeping it going and so far theyve been the ones who have been winning the debate. Heather yeah, this one other thing that i found interesting, this was the question that was posed specifically, it said, should the immigration policy be based on persons ability to contribute to america and when you polled hispanic respondents, 83 agreed with that statement. Yeah, again, no surprise, its common sense. Of course, when youre in a sellers market, if you will. We are not selling green cards for the most part but way more people want them than we are going to be giving them out so you should be using, you should be picky and choosey to who you give it to and doesnt matter what ethnic group you belong to, its a common sense view. Heather mark, thank you so much for joining us and taking us through all the polls this morning, thanks. Thank you. Heather have a great week. The time now is 19 minutes after the top of the hour and armed robber meets his match, this incredible video of a mother and father, have you seen it, using their own gun to fight him off. The mother and her daughter. I say impeach 45. I will fight every day until he is impeached. [cheers and applause] impeach 45. Heather and maxine watter still singing the same tune to impeach the president but is anyone even listening . Well, social media is and people are very fired up, Carley Shimkus with that reaction when we come right back you know whats awesome . Gigspeed internet. You know whats not awesome . When only certain people can get it. Lets fix that. Lets give this guy gig really . And these kids, and these guys, him, ah. Oh hello. That lady, these houses yes, yes and yes. And dont forget about them. Uh huh, sure. Still yes xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. Now you can get it, too. Welcome to the party. Heather she boycotted President Trumps trump state of union and Maxine Watters is back at it again. I dont think what the republicans say,i say impeach 45. [cheers and applause] impeach 45. Impeach 45. Impeach 45. Heather yeah, in case you didnt understand the first fifth or sixth time, Carley Shimkus siriusxm 115 with how social media is responding to outburst. Thats right, speaking at annual convention in san diego, congressman watters delivered fiery speech calling for President Trumps impeachment. Take a listen. Democrats are going to retire the spineless unpatriotic, intimidated republican and send them home to live a shameful existence for the rest of their lives. I say it is time to get ready for impeachment. Carley while her remarks did receive around of a please from audience, conservatives on social media are far less convinced. Take a look at sarcastic tweet from mike, i dont think he hasnt broken any laws or anything, but he has hurt my feelings and thats enough. Stop with the hate and actually work to solve realworld issues, School Safety, immigration, a balanced budget would be a good start. Now congressman watter is resting impeachment claims on special counsel Robert MuellersRussian Investigation saying she cannot wait for him to connect the dots. Heather interesting, but lets take a look at something completely different. Talking about working together even if you disagree about things. Carley thats right, message of unity by team usa bob who tweeted this with ivanka trump, we dont have to agree on everything to get along, be civil with each other and enjoy company, its for america, pleasure to meet you both. Take a look at the picture here. Ana an social media says, you dont have to be nasty but you also dont have to have a photo opt that makes it looks like youre buying into it. Thats also complicit. Social media reactions to been mixed because michelle fired back saying i wish the judgmental haters would leave you alone, they just wont let you savor the olympics. Representing team usa with dignity and class and patriotism. Leaving with a silver medal. Heather good for her. Theres a big backlash with him as well. Carley i like the message of unity. Heather absolutely. Its the olympics. Appreciate it, carley. 26 minutes after the top of the hour and President Trump claims that the democrats fisa memo only proves that he was spied on. The memo was a nothing, that was nothing but a confirmation and a lot of bad things happened on the other side. Heather so what happens next . Does the memo prove that the president is right or does it give democrats a win, our Political Panel up next to debate. And what you smoke in vegas stays in vegas. Airports adding bins for flyers to stash trash their stash heather welcome back to Fox Friends First 4 30 on the east coast, doctor recipient accused of threatening to shoot students at new York High School will appear in federal court today.
