Marc short from the white house said theres no deal. John cornyn told reporters he welcomes his fellow senators contributions but this immigration issue is not going to be settled by a handful of people. A leading conservative said lawmakers will likely need more time to come up with a final deal. The president is willing to grant Legal Protections to this population of Illegal Immigrants in return for Adequate Security and ending extended family chain migration and ending the diversity lottery. There is no change in those parameters. Top democrats are trying o link addressing the status of those young people with budget government funding talks. The government is due to run out of money in eight days. Speaker paul ryan has acknowledged other shortterm continuing resolution will likely be needed. That way, there wont be a partial Government Shutdown and there will be time for negotiators to allocate money based on new spending caps. We are working to get a cap agreement but the appropriators will need time to write an omnibus appropriations once a cap agreement is matched. There is no point in having another cr unless we have an agreement on daca and funding. That leaves some to say pelosi is threatening a Government Shutdown based on an artificial deadline for daca. Bret we will follow it all. Mike emanuel live on the hill. The senate is working on an extension of what most Intelligence Experts will tell you is a vital tool to fight terrorism and what privacy advocates say is potential unwarranted government snooping into her life. Earlier today the house passed amended legislation on faisal, the foreign Intelligence Surveillance act. It could have a rougher go in the senate for a time today mixed signals from President Trump sent lawmakers scrambling to be a fox team coverage. John roberts returns with a look at the politics of fisa and the president s tweets. We begin with catherine herridge. House reauthorized a bill with the vote of 256154 and it had said the senate next week. Words on a tight timeline after a lot of drama. Who are we if we cannot uphold the constitution. Is it perfect . Ive never voted for a perfect bill. What would the American People safely hamper Law Enforcement strong statements mirror the debate over security versus privacy guaranteed by the u. S. Constitution. Our job is to protect the fourth amendment. That is the protection of the American People against unreasonable search and seizure. After the 9 11 terrorist attacks, section 702 was approved by congress to maximize foreign intelligence gathering on individuals and groups. Like al qaeda and more recently isis. The program sweeps up phone calls, emails, Text Messages on foreign citizens living outside the United States. A warrant and probable cause are required for collection on americans. This amendment is not adopted. One amendment introduced by republican congressmen tried but failed to limit the fbis ability to search the database. It includes u. S. Citizen information collected by accident. I think its unconstitutiona unconstitutional, hugely problematic and we are here to defend the rights of the American People. The bill exposed hup rift. If this amendment passes, kills the program, we go dark. 702 goes down. We dont know what the terrorists are up to. 702 was written to go after terrorists but its being used to go after americans. Thats why this bill violates the fourth amendment. Chairman of the hostile adjustment he set a compromise was reached which included measures to protect the Intelligence Program and americans privacy. Can walk out of your proud that we stood her ground. The bill is passed. The legislation heads to the senate where it will meet resistance from senator rand paul who protested the same Government Surveillance Program on the floor in 2015. The idea that we should have a judicial warrant before searching and americans records absolutely is worth filibustering for. Today the Senate Majority leader laid out a strategy that made frustrated senator pauls efforts to block the bill. Procedural vote scheduled for tuesday with passage Late Wednesday or thursday. That is if there are no more hurdles. Bret thank you. Lets get some insight into what happened with those president ial tweets this morning. Here is chief White House Correspondent john roberts. It was an oops moment that sent white house staff and republicans in congress reeling this morning. After watching a segment on fox friends, President Trump issued a tweet highly critical of the fisa act, socalled 700 to authority. The president tweeting vote on fisa act today. This may have been used by the phony dossier. To so badly surveil and abuse the Trump Campaign by the Previous Administration and others . This student stark contrast to the statement by the press secretary. Democrats took full advantage of what they saw as a policy vacuum, saying lets put the bill on hold. In light of the irresponsible and inherently contradictory messages coming out of the white house today. I would recommend we withdraw consideration of the bill today to give us more time to address the privacy questions that have been raised as well as to get a clear statement from the administration about their position on the bill. Nearly two hours after his initial tweet, President Trump moved to clarify his position, tweeting that todays vote is about Foreign Surveillance of foreign bag eyes on foreign land. We needed. Get smart. The National Security council had spent weeks telling congress and the press of the need to reauthorize the 702 section of fisa. The heads of the intelligence agencies insisted it was a necessary tool to protect the homeland from terrorists. This morning, republican rankandfile were left wondering where their president really stood. White house chief of staff and legislative director raised to capitol hill. Paul ryan spoke to the president for 30 minutes on the phone after the first tweet. House intelligence chairman devin nunes read aloud the president s clarifying tweet to reassure members the president was still on board. The press secretary said there was no contradiction in what the president wrote and poopooed the notion they had to clean it up. Can you tell us why his first tweet sparked a flurry of activity and phone calls between the white house and capitol hill . Im not sure about the flurry of activity. To us, thats a pretty normal day and we are always engaged with members on the hill, members of our staff. That seems pretty standard practice. And a second tweet, President Trump also pointed out that he personally directed the fix to the unmasking process.
